Freshmen Class History On August 29, 1956, sixteen Class fo '60'' pupils entered N.H.S. There were 11 boys and 5 girls. We elected Sam Berry for President, Jack Scott as Vice President, Gary Coates as Secretary and Gary Stabler as Treasurer. Our advisors were Mr. Quinn and Mrs. Crowson. We were initiated. Boy that black-top was surely hot on our bare feet! All the boys except Paul Heberer went out for football, but John Bennett and Sam Berry were the only letter winners. George Boehne joined our class in about the middle of the year. He was previously enrolled at Toulon where he played Frosh-Soph football. He was a first-string guard. Watch for a future star in George! We wish the Seniors a lot of luck after graduation. We all hope to be back at Neponset High as Sophomores next year. This page sponsored by STETSON'S STORE 25

F. H. A. History The Neponset Chapter of the National FHA Organization had a very active year. The year started with a bang in the back yard at Mrs. Crowson’s home, in the form of an FHA Weiner Roast honoring the incoming Freshman girls. On the 11th of October, the officers traveled to Spring Valley with the FHA chapter mothers, to an Officer's Sectional Meeting. An educational time was had by all. October 26 the FHA went to work and cleaned all over town--Hobo Work Day, which was very successful. November saw a Surprise shower for Faye Fussner and a new thing in Neponset High—a necking party ! FHA went caroling December and sent domes to an Indian reservation. January 24 the girls honored their dads with a Daddy Date Night , which the dates enjoyed a great deal. A Panel on Dating came oft very well in March. Everyone acquired more information about tire hows and whys of dating. April 9 a school program was put on, in observance of National FHA week. Also, in April the Neponset Chapter had charge of the decorations at the FHA Spring Rally. A formal installation in May and the annual Eighth Grade Tea ended the school year of '56-57.
