It is clear to see that the students at NCHS carry the name Pioneers with pride and greatness, both in school and out. For any person wanting to improve their character and become a Pioneer they must at all times strive to possess these special qualities of a typical student at NCHS. To be a Pioneer is considered to be a very unique and special honor. So as you turn these pages, you will soon understand that to be a Pioneer is more than just attending school. These qualities were equally shared among students throughout the summer months. Many students were involved in the American Legion boys baseball program, playing either on the Midget team or the Junior team. Many girls were involved in the summer softball program. Others however were involved with swimteam and playing in the guys and girls basketball programs that were offered by their coaches. If students weren’t already occupied with baseball, softball or swimteam then you could find many of the Pioneers at the popular spots in Nebraska City; such as the swimming pool, tennis courts, golf course, or maybe out fishing on the river or a nearby pond. Other students found themselves riding motorcycles, going to movies or just casually cruising the downtown area. So you can see that the summer months were very busy for the Pioneers.
