L. H. S. as a class of ninety Grammar School Graduates, but we were practically unknown to the other High School students. For the first few days we were encountered by the most miserable of obstacles. When the pedagogues started talking about schedules, we were very bewildered, for we had never known of such complex matters. When the bell rang to change classes, we sauntered along from room to room seeking our places but all in vain. During the first week we were compelled to remain after school—no, not for detention class, but for “Cookie,” who was endeavoring to teach us the “High School Songs.” On Friday morning we filed down to chapel and were “razzed” incessantly by the upper classmen, but we proved our ability in singing the “Old High School Song.” We soon overcame these embarrassing situations and earnestly started to study. Our never failing friend, Mr. Morgan, was always ready to help us solve our many problems of school life. The year sped swiftly along, and we began to realize that our green and bashful year of High School life was almost at a close. Again the next fall when the familiar school bell sounded, we assembled once more, but it was our turn to laugh at the poor, green Freshmen. Soon we found ourselves victims of a poison fang (???).

The very name inspired us to gain more glory than in previous years, and we commenced to take an active interest in all our work. Mr. Higley even said that we were the most brilliant of Algebra Classes. (Who dares to dispute his word?) The first noticeable event of this year was when we organized our incomparable class by electing the following officers: President, Leo Forquer; Vice President, Joe Weiland; Secretary, Clair Everitt; Treasurer, Mary Greene. We were very proud of our contribution to athletics, which was thirteen of our fellow students on the football and basketball teams. Others worthy of mention are those who represented us in the County Music Contest. Our reception for the Class of ’25 has never been surpassed in the history of dear old N. L. H. S.

As we leave, we hope that we shall be remembered as a class which was always willing to participate in any activity which was sponsored by the high school and as a class which strived always to maintain a high scholastic standing. Our school and faculty can never be repaid. Remembrances of them will linger with each student as he journeys into this vast world. It is with mingled feelings of joy and sadness that we leave our fellow students and all the pleasant memories of our high school behind us. We sincerely hope as you read over these pages that you will recall happy memories of the Class of ’26. BEATRICE GILLEY. —30—
