FOREWORD PAGE SIX From our Senior Play was born the theme for the 1950 Tusitala, Our Hearts Were Young and Gay. Little did we realize when we entered Nashua High School what these three years would mean to us. They were to be for us days of fun, of laughter, homework, exams, dances, proms, sports, and assemblies. In the fall of 1947 we entered Nashua High School as sopho- mores. We were young, we had no worldly cares, and we found our- selves thrilled at entering a new and larger school. In our sophomore year we saw the birth of the Student Council, but did not realize then how rapidly this organization would progress. Our junior year brought us the junior prom, for many of us our first formal. As responsibilities were placed upon us, we matured rapidly, became more considerate of others, and at the beginning of our senior year were ready to assume the role of upper classmen. Yet throughout our Senior Play, the an- nouncing of the Upper Quarter, the senior prom, and graduation plans, we did not lose our youthful spirit and gaiety. Now, as the last days of our school life come to a close, we can look back and say that those days of study and school activities were for us the best years of our lives. We had more reason than recent classes to be gay, for there was no war enveloping our country. Peace had at least temporarily been restored throughout the world, and our boys were fortunate in being able to finish their education without being called to serve their coun- try. Under the capable guidance of our headmaster and faculty, we were trained in high ideals and moral principles: we gained from them wis- dom which developed talents needed by us to take up our responsibilities as future citizens of the world. Out of our three years at Nashua High School, this Tusitala is written to remind us of the days when indeed 0ur Hearts Were Young and Gay. TUSITALA

DEDICATIO gs 5 is ig 5 4 63.141 ti me in A i i 'N IN MEMCRIAM The class of 1950 will long remember Miss Grace E. Campbell, a member of our faculty for fortyftwo years, who died on April 9, 1950, after a brief illness. She had taught until the last of March in spite of her failing health. Miss Campbell was a teacher devoted to her profession, and many students turned to her for guidance and advice. She was never too busy to give us counsel in any way that she could. We who have come under Miss Campbell's influence are better prepared to go out into the world, and we deeply appreciate all she did for us. Her friendliness and wonderful sense of humor will never be forgotten, and our deep regret is that she did not live long enough to be with us during our graduation exercises. Requiescat in Pace!
