Class History September 1943 ushered In another school year. The fresh- man class was quite large, and to facilitate teaching, was divid- ed into two groups. We were introduced to a departmentalized system of education, and adapted ourselves to it accordingly. This year was very important. It gave us a chance to adjust our- selves to high school life, to develop new friendships, to be- come acquainted with our instructors and their methods, and to plan for succeeding years of study. Several members of the class took part in the operetta Shreds and Patches, directed by Mrs. Cook. Some became affiliated with our band, and others chose to sing in our choruses. 1944! The school bells rang again, calling all children back to school. We took up our studies, determined to prepare ourselves for life in a world at war. We were at war, fcnd war- time conditions were not always conductive to the best type of educational program. However, we, as sophomores, made the best of a bad situation, and enjoyed another year at N.O.H.S. Miss. Hildebrand very ably conducted the play Next Door Neighbors, in which many of the sophomores participated. Several people represented our class in sports this year. 19451 We are Juniors! The junior year was a quiet one. The war had ended, but the problems ‘ of reconversion seemed to reach even into our school life and beset us with difficulties. The senior farewell party was a gay time and was enjoyed by all present. 19461 Senior play, yearbook, forensic contest, district and state bands, county music festival- - -a very busy year. We have come to the end of our high school days. This year two GI s, Myron Warren and Eston Carper, having completed prescribed cour- ses in the service of their country, will receive their diplomas along with the graduating class. During our high school days a group of students dropped from our ranks for varied reasons. Those who attended N.O.H.S.et some time as members of our class are: Lois Eh1man, Mildred Ficholtz, William Gearhart, Marie Glass, Nila Grimm, Dolores Kuhn, Shirley Milhimes, Wilbur Miller Jr.. Allen Miller, Betty Noel, Doris Pressell, Harold Rife, Charles Roche, Ruth Spicer, Martha Swain, Richard Staub, Robert Stock, Thomas Speigelmire, George Swartz- baugh, George Zortman, Mae Reichert, and Winifred Seibright. We are ready to go out into the world, with the hope that we can help to make it a better place in which to live. It is our sincere hope that we have contributed to the advancement of N.O.H.S. With these parting words we extend our best wishes to those who will follow in our footsteps, and express our gratitude to N.O.H.S. for the many happy hours spent here.
