evamo taff Bob Steele Wooddy Swearingen Editor Business Manager Frank Henthorn Ted Kachel Mrs. Gene Rimmer Sponsor The present NEVAMO originated from a. booklet known as the COMET, which first appeared in 1906. lt was school and to serve as an outlet for student opinion. The first COMET carried advertising from the Thornton Na- , tional Bank, the Farm and Home Savings and Loan Jeanie Broughton Association, Birdseye Abstract Company, and the First Donna Logan National Bank. All of these long established firms are carrying advertising in the 1955 yearbook. One of the first editorials which appeared in the COMET had in it a plea for athletics. The following sen- tences appeared: Are we becoming a lot of degenerating bookworms? Are we going to let the smaller towns round about outdo us in this line while we remain silent? Let us not act as if we were mechanical contrivancesf' Each girl was urged to support this movement for an athletic program. An editorial in the COMET reminded girls of the following: A dainty handkerchief and a smiling face can be seen and recognized a great distance on the athletic field. By 1908, the expected goal had been achievedg the athletic program had become a part of the school. In a COMET of 1907 there were complete Martha Pearse drawings of the plans for the central part of our present sufficient funds. The Senior class of 1932 felt that they should have a yearbook. A book called the DEBUT was produced. This George Pohl. , Through the years 1933 to 1936, no yearbook was pub- lished. In 1937, a book called the MODERNIQUE made its first and only appearance. The first NEVAMO was published in 1938 and has been published continuously since then. We are fortunate in having copies of all books, with the exception of the yearbook of 1915.
