The senior class was led efficiently by Miss Catherine Ratcliffe, sponsor, Dick Bess, president: Phil Coffey, ViCe- president, Judy White, secretary, and Ray Pavy, treasurer. Being chosen the first class officers of our new school was a great honor to these four seniors. They led a class ot 285, the biggest in NHS history. Dick Bess Efficiently Leads First Senior Class Miss Catherine Ratcliffe, senior class sponsor, and the chairmen of the various senior committees, Nancy Chastain, color, Stella Davis, invi- tations: Pat Johnson, flower, and Ann Anderson, motto, discuss the seniors' selections. Approximately 40 seniors served on these committees. '- Last September, we members of the class of 1959 found ourselves in a new school and sharing the distinction of becoming the first graduating class We quickly became busy with the activl ties and responsibilities of seniors, and electing class officers was our first duty To be elected one of the four officers to represent the first graduating class in our new school was a greatly desired honor, and we chose Dick Bess to lead us As a class, we found that problems can exist even in a new school Since our auditorium and gym were not completed, we were left without a place big enough for class meetings, and our class convened only when necessary We overcame this difficulty by meeting In committees and talking over our actlvltles in our sensor classes As class colors, we chose French blue and light blue, and our flower was Coro nation Supreme Out of school into life s school was the motto which best fitted our final year

As seniors, we set ourselves apart from the other classes and also gained certain privileges. Along with the privileges came harder classes, though, and we had to prove we were capable of doing the work. Whether it was trigonometry or chemistry, retail selling or drafting, there was something special for all of us which would help in our future careers. Some of us began to realize that we had waited almost too long before beginning to take our work ser- iously, but we tried to make up for lost time by working harder. Soon we found satisfaction and security in our increasing knowledge. The large slide rule, almost seven feet long, found constant use in Miss Fern Hodson's advanced algebra and geometry classes, as she explained how ta solve various problems. Trying to find material for their senior English research papers is not on easy task as Eva Zakis, Jack Anderson, Dwight lockeridge, linda Caldwell, and Mike Davis discover. It won't be long until seniors will be filling out their own income tax forms, and Mr. Francis Reed explains the complicated process to mem- bers of his U. S. government classes. Of Chrysler High School Cadet teachers this year were Janet Pritchett, Nan Harris, .ludianne Lamb, Carole Hiatt, Linda J. Smith, Geraldine Taylor, Connie Beall, Celesta Belt, Delma Hicks, Anna May lrwin, Mary Roberts, Carolynn Baganz, and Sharon link. , iq, Q! f W7
