161 History of the Senior Class The closing year marks a great end and a great beginning for the senior members of the N. C. H. S. student body. Nineteen forty-three draws finis to many outstanding activities for our class. During our freshman and sophomore years we patiently waited and watched the illustrious classes of 1940 and 19-ll. lt wasn't until we became juniors that we were given an opportunity to show our potentialities. Under the leadership of Oscar Ray as our junior class president and with the excellent cooperation of every class member and the judicious guidance of our sponsors, bliss Gwendolyn Hill and lllr. hlartin Candelaria, we staged an exceptionally well-timed follies. lts theme was A Day at Army Campl' and it was timely because the day after the show closed its successful two-day run, December 7, 19-il,'we were plunged into world war with Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor. The next spring saw one of the most colorful junior proms ever staged in our gym- nasium. We brought Latin America right up to our own back yard with L11 Fiesta, and the affair was high-lighted with rhumbas, congas, and tangoes. The gym was festively decorated to depict a huge patio of a South American hacienda. V The war came close to home during the summer months and when school started last fall it was foremost in every senior's mind. There is no doubt that it has put the damper on many of the usual activities, but with the true spirit of NCHS, the spirit which will continue to prevail for the duration, we have managed to keep the morale of the students high. Probably the most far-reaching project started this year was the Campus Canteen. Four seniors, Bob Burwell, Kate Swanton, Oscar Ray and Jean ll'IcNiel, were elected to represent the student body on a coordinating council which laid the groundwork for this activity. As this book goes to press plans are rapidly formulating and it is hoped that the Canteen will be ready for occupation by Rlay l of this year. lllany students are outstanding in many fields in this graduating class. Our orators hlabel Adkison, Grant Arrasmith and Paul Barber, who won the state American Legion oratorical contest early this spring. Special mention goes to Bill Hattie Noel for his fine, steady work in basketball. Coach Darrel Hathaway presented Bill with his fourth letter in this sport. Other outstanding athletes are Roy Crouch, Oscar Ray and Bill Nickeson. lllusic, which is coming more and more to the foreground as troubled minds seek relaxation, does not lack for talent in our class. Kenton lN'lcNeely and Don Stewart have performed well for the students and for the people of the city. Every class has its exceptional scholars. Wendell Talbert and Rose Colibraro, over a period of four years, have compiled an enviable record of grade averages. Nineteen forty-three marks the end to many enjoyable days spent in this school and also marks the beginning for all of us in a new and puzzling world.
