And we were well prepared COLLEGE TRADE BUSINESS GENERAL somes 4 ' % | To meet the problems of the confused world which greeted us upon leaving high school. Seniors anticipating college were given a firm foundation in all subjects: those entering the ever-broadening world of business were adequately trained by the highly efficient commercial department; those seniors interested in trade were given splendid in- struction in all its phases by the industrial department, while students without definite plans were provided with liberal preparation. Thus our high school has equipped us with a thorough background; our students will lead better lives and become better citizens for having learned how at New Hanover. New Hanover seniors represent the futures for which our schoo! prepares them. Left to right: Evelyn Bergen, Royce Gower, Effie Sneeden, and Eugene Peterson. 25
