SENIOR CLASS HISTORY The Zephyr The 1946 eighth grade graduating class entered high school on September 1, with an enrollment of 14 students. We had not been in school very long when we were initiated by the Sophomores. During the first year we sponsored the Valentine Party, and enjoyed other parties throughout the year. The first year we had most of our classes together which made it very much like grade school. All were required to take Algebra, English, and Science. The boys were together in Ag and the girls in Homemaking. Most of the boys were out for sports. Joe Stetson won a letter in football. The girls soon became interested in F.H.A. and other activities. One big event of the year which we all participated in with the rest of the classes was the F.F.A.-F.H.A. Carnival. After a time we began to take part in the various activities and felt that we belonged to the high school. In our Sophomore year Junior Lempke. and Bill Verbout quit school and Alma Jean Ott transferred to Princeton. This year we sponsored the Freshmen Initiation and gained revenge for all the happenings of the last year. We began to work more with other members of the high school. We won second prize in the homecoming parade. Our float was the Neponset Zephyr pulling a string of cars. Barb Curran was elected cheerleader this year. Three boys, John Golby, John Heise, and Joe Stetson, won letters in football. During the summer following our sophomore year, we sold concessions at the baseball games. We carried out this project for earning money through our Junior year selling at all games. In our Junior year Bill Miller quit school but we gained an addition of two students, Wayne Gerrond and Lillie Miller. Wayne started in September and Lillie in March. We helped purchase a popcorn machine which we used throughout the year. We sponsored the St. Patrick’s Party. The girls in the class participated in dramatics and entered the music contest. In our spare time during the second semester we worked on our Junior-Senior Prom. Golby, Stetson and Heise earned letters in football, Gerrond and Heise in basketball, Golby, Stetson and Heise in track. Our Senior year we played hosts at the Christmas Party. The girls are again out for music and dramatics. Some of the boys have also taken part in dramatics. Joe Stetson was captain of the football team. Wayne Gerrond and John Heise were co-captains of the basketball team. This year our big project has been our annual. We are striving to make this a good book not only for the reader’s sake but because it is one of our last group projects and summarizes our work together. We have enjoyed our four years in N.H.S. and in many ways hate to leave it. As the Annual goes to the printer we are making plans for a trip to the Black Hills of South Dakota immediately after graduation. This page sponsored by — Vernon V.
