UIPWOI' The 1958 PIONEER has been published with but one objective to capture between its covers a year at Negaunee High School Because of our locality, we have chosen snow as the theme for it ' To our fellow Northerners , snow is a common sight, but when w- stop to think about it, it is in many ways like our school life There are times of trial when we feel as though we are sinking, a we would in soft snow. But there are many other instances when wi are up in spirits and no longer sinking , but walking on top onci again. Like snow, school has its times of beauty and drabness , tran quility and storms, times of excitement and times of trial. But i is in remembering these past experiences that make us ask, Wher are the snows of yesteryear? 1 With these thoughts, we proudly present to you, the student and faculty, your 1958 PIONEER. -- The Editors

To the students of NHS and the residents of Negaunee, the stump pictured on the cover of the PIONEER has great significance. To them it represents their very being - for without the discovery of iron ore on this overturned Stump, Negaunee would not be in existence. It was in 1844 when Marji Gesick led two men to the spot where he had seen the black magnetic ore. Not long after that, the small Chippewa Indian village at the north end of Teal Lake got its start and Negaunee was born. Kristine Phillips , '53, aptly named the annual from the Indian de- finition of Negaunee, which is to go forward, or pioneer.
