In 1957 we entered N. C. H. S. as freshmen, 126 strong. Remembering those four wonderful years, we now depart and leave behind us memories never to be forgotten. Our largest undertaking was the sponsoring of the annual Holiday Dance. We also undertook various projects to finance our trip to Chicago in the spring. Such projects included the selling of refreshments at the football and basketball games, the selling of fruit cakes, and a car wash. On May 21, immediately following the Baccalaureate services, we left for the city of Chicago, where we attempted in four days to end our high school years in true senior style. After we returned, we prepared for our graduating ceremony on May 25. 12 as they fondly reminisce of GARY BARTON Choir 2, 3; Freshman Glee 1.
