N. L. H. S. students placed high in the senior scholarship test. They were: Faith Prichard, Wilma Weaver, Norman Rockwell, Roy Spradlin and Jenny Reed. It is sad to think of leaving our school and friends, but we must remember that all those who have gone before traveled this same road. Now we must turn our thoughts toward greater accomplishments for which we should now be fitted.
