Senior Class History In September of 1949, 34 green freshmen walked in the doors of N.A.C.H.S. We were spared the ordeal of a formal initiation, but we still received it indirectly. Our first class officers were Donald Tresch, president; Glenn Keuss, vice-president; Marilyn Eicker, secretary-treasurer; and Ruth Emge, reporter. Our sponsor was Mr. Meridith. Our freshman class made money by selling pop corn at the baskeball games. At the start of our sophomore year Carol Gladson, George Montroy, Leroy Spalt, Dorothy Funke, Veda Mae Chaffin and Orville Dumstorf joined our class. We sadly discovered that Billy Glenn, Virginia Hall, Billy Bruno, Verlan Juenger and Donald Strahan had left us. Our sophomore class officers were Glenn Keuss, president; Jan Langenstein, vice-president; Donald Tresch, secretary-treasurer; and James Burk, reporter. Mr. Givens was our sponsor and Mrs. Floski became our assistant sponsor. We sold ice cream to increase our treasury. Our junior year was centered around our play, “Rest Assured”, and our class rings. We elected Mr. Meridith as our sponsor and Leroy Spalt, president; Glenn Keuss, vice-president; Helen Koenitz, secretary-treasurer; and Jim Burk, reporter. Mrs. Neighbox-s became our assistant sponsor. (Continued)

Senior Class History At the start of our junior year we discovered that we had lost Carol Gladson, Dorothy Funke, George Krause and Claude Sterman. During our junior year we also lost Veda Mae Chaffin and Lester Darmstatter. Jim Goodall and Jim Parker joined our class. Our money was earned by selling candy and coke. At the close of the year we gave our prom, the theme of which was “Showboat”. The George Carr orchestra played appropriate music. At last we reached the top; we were seniors. And with it our cherished dream — Graduation! Our class officers were Harold Waeltz, president; Donald Tresch, vice-president; Marilyn Eicker, secretary; Ruth Emge, treasurer; and Helen Koenitz, reporter. Mr. Walker was elected to be our sponsor and Miss Shaughnessy became our assistant sponsor. Our class was reduced when Shirley Schwarz left. Joan Miller and Betty Main joined our class, but Betty Main later dropped out. On October 10, we made the annual trip to St. Louis to pose for Van Miller.
