The ones we have gained are: James Knox, John Knox, and Bill Thompson. The business of this senior year has been effi- ciently guided by Stanley Albin, president, Pat Wright, vice-president, Jeanie Walk, secretary- treasurer 5 Betty Floyd, reporter, Larry Sanders, parliamentarian. Mrs. Bell and Mr. Leming were our faculty sponsors. We have had many memorable activities in the past four years, the highlights being the Prom and the '52 Homecoming. The theme of the Prom was Wishin', while at the Homecoming we danced to Silver Bells. ' The Homecoming King and Queen were Stan- ley Albin and jo Meyers. The attendants were Betty Floyd and Bob McKibben, first g Sandra Ad- kins and Bob Swengel, second 5 Barbara Stewart and Don Claybaugh, third, and Eloise Adkins and Norman Anderson, fourth. As Juniors we presented the mystery-comedy, SLTHE STRANGER IN THE NIGHT. As Seniors we gave UOUTWARD BOUND. The financing of the Tomahawk has been ac- complished by selling advertisements, the Senior class, play, the, Homecoming dance, magazine sales, an outdoor carnival, and a variety show. The Senior Class realizes that the experience gained in their four years at N. HIS., both social and educational, will aid them in the pursuit of their respective careers. Senior Class Will . . .
