we 6IZlby6 our free fime. The final bell sounds. Unless you're a bus student, there's no hurry. You've got from now until eight-thirty the next morning to do just as you please. The senior steps was a favorite meeting place. Sports were a favorite topic at New Hanover High. From football to basketball and finally to baseball, the fans carried their enthusiasm. The peanuts we enjoyed at the foot- ball games are noticeably missing here. One of the most thrilling moments at games was indicated by the perfect silence that prevailed during the basketball free shot. If the teacher doesn't watch, they'll be shoving and pushing out the door. By the time she reaches the door, everyone has gone. Where are we going in such a hurry? Oh- the lunch bell just rang. Be it fifth or sixth, the bell was a signal for the races to begin. Page 16

Studia came jqrsf, fkeiz The Home Economics Depart- ment offered three years of train- ing, one year of which could be substituted for one year of science. Those enrolled learned graciousness in the art of homemaking and fun- damentals in the necessity of health, This course was recommended not only for girls anticipating home- making, but also for boys intent on bachelorhood. The building of props for the National Honor Society stage ap- paratus and the Christmas scenery on the front lawn were two services rendered by the woodwork class which were much appreciated. To those boys who had a creative spirit, this course offered satisfaction and training for a future hobby or occu- pation. iff' Page 15 A ln -MYNZM The socials were talked about for weeks in advance, since they were the events which made school all the more fun. Boys who forgot the required tie for a dance quickly learned how to make them from crepe paper. The Junior-Senior Prom, the May Dance, and the Foot- ball Dance were three of the most enjoyable school dances. Pictured here are gala couples at the Junior- Senior Prom.
