hidden behind the teacher's boxes. Nevertheless students found their way there, if they wanted to get some paper from the storeroom, or a light- bulb replaced, or a car parked in a restricted zone. Mr. Holyfield, like Mr. Holliday, was a friend to every student. Every student knew Ronald Butler and Mrs. Lillian Sandling. They were known as Deans. They did much more than check on attendance. They also served as guidance counselors. They directed the many tests, such as College Boards, and National merit examinations. They were always in the main office to advise students on problems that were important at that moment. They also helped with the activities involved in the social life at N.B.H.S. Three ladies, Mrs. Stephenson, Mrs. Green, and Mrs. Hube ran the office. If seniors wanted a transcript of their record, they approached one of them. If money had been collected for some organization, it was handled by them. If a book was lost, they helped locate it. If there was a telephone message they saw that it reached the individual. Their source of information seemed to be without limits. Their friendliness made them approachable. ,.1 'dwYw in ,.f Joseph Q. Holliday, A.B., M.Ed., Principal and J.

FACULTY und HDMINISTRHTIUN Faculty members have been the directors of the year 1959-'60. Their experience in life out- side this school, this city, this state have enabled them to help the students become conscious of the world beyond these walls. What the teachers have learned has been made available to the stu- dents. In this the students have found inspiration for the tomorrows that lie ahead. The familiar voice of the hardworking princi- pal J. Q. Holliday was heard over the public address system every morning and every after- noon. He was always at school, arriving early and staying late. He was always present at school events. PTA's, plays, games, contests, all! Mr. Holliday has always had pride in N.B.H.S. The success of any student or teacher always made him glad. His office door was always open. A large part of the exitra-curricular work was directed by the assistant principal Watson Holy- field. That was not all he did. His office was

One trait nearly all teachers had in common was that their's was the one and most important subject. A Their assign- ments showed that. The half hour time to be spent for preparation in each subject was not meant for one individual teacher. In biology one was not only to capture but to classify some little helpless insect according to kingdom and specie. The same was true of leaves or wild Bowers. A similar story could be told in English, language, social science or math. All the teachers held to one theory- promptness must be adhered to without hfail. Students must be in homeroom, re- port cards must be returned, deadline must be kept. They acted with one accord in bearing down. At times the demands seemed impossible. ENGLISH DEPARTMENT.
