FRESHMAN CLASS HISTORY On September 3, 1912, there came to dear old N. L. H. S. a troop of bashful, awkward lads and lassies, bent on winning honor and fame, or die in the struggle. Future presidents, farmers, poets, athletes and those of every calling have mingled together on a common level for this, their first happy year. At the end of each of the succeeding six w eeks of that year their spirits have risen to heights of glory, or fallen into depths of despair, as they dared guess the results of their exams. Now the year is almost completed, and although comparatively little can be done in so short a time, and they have only begun to convert many of their plans into realities, yet, they have, in many ways peculiar to themselves, proven their competency to take some part in the world’s work. With Dell as a shining star in dramatics and basketball and Plaisted in athletics, Lamb in dramatics, Flowers writing poems, of which no ordinary poet could ever dream, and Hoops spending all his spare time on a machine which is able to resist the power of gravity, and in which he expects to go to Mars as soon as school is closed, truly the class has a bright future and notwithstanding many petty faults, and the fact that our spirits are often down by the very presence of the almighty Seniors and “Sophs, we are resolved that we will still keep “pegging away” until N. L. H. S. and, perhaps, Uncle Sam will be proud of us. 30 Marguerite Gordon, ’16.
