JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY On September 9, 19h?, forty-eight scared students walked into the assembly of N. W. H. S. and took seats on the freshman side. Soon the other students of N. W. H. S. started calling us greenies. We didn't know why because we thought that we were very intelligent to have reached the high-rank of freshmen after being in grade school for eight years. Just when we had found out where to go for our classes and thought we were really getting intelliaent, we were notified by the seniors that we were not full-blooded . W. students yet. Were we ever shocked when they told us what we had to do to become full- blooded N; W. students! Well, how would you feel if you had to go around carrying a paper bag stuffed full of paper all day or bowing to the seniors and eating worms? When that ordeal was over, we were allowed to elect our class officers. The results of this election showed Buddy Monroe as president, Jo Ann Callie as vice-president, Carol Anne Kent as secretary-treasurer, and Ruth Monroe and Jimmy Hostetler as reporters. We may have been greenies, but we did one bright thing as freshmen. That was when we chose Mrs. Plaskett for our class sponsor. During this year several students moved, chose marriage, or quit. They were Jimmie Atkins, Ralph Dean, Billy Fields, Ernest Hicks, Jr., Clarence Stricker, Ronnie Willey, L. J. Wheeler, Norma Bagshaw, Joyce Harbin, Lavaughn Moore, and Lois Rogers. There were also two students who Joined us later in the year--Ima Sims and Ernest Sexton. In-19h8 we invaded the assembly as silly sophomores. We found that there were forty of us still in the class. We were sorry to see that Ruth Monroe and Martin Bard had not come back; however we were glad to see that three new students had joined us--Thomas Brear, Sue Foster, and Doris Sandlina We elected officers as follows: Clyde Henry, presi- dent; Jo Ann Callie, secretary-treasurer, and Frank Mauk and Marie Hutt- sell, reporters. During the year eight students left us--Roy Lee May, Bradley Ogle, Zeda Bladen, Ruth Clemmons, Jean Dickey, Anna Early, Mari- lyn Hobson, and Ima Sims. We didn't have much entertainment in our sophomore year, and as a result we studied and were very intelligent students t?l by the end of the year. The year l9h9 was a big year for us. We moved across the aisle in the assembly and became jolly Juniors. I'm sure no one in the class regretted this move; however we did regret that there were only twenty- seven of us left. Missing this year were Amy Boling, Isabelle Hicks, Marie Huttsell, Josephine Jones, and Sue Foster. After a long political campaign we electedv our officers. The results showed Dorothy Mauk as president; Thomas Brear as vice-president; Buddy Monroe as secretary treasurer, and Carol Anne Kent and.C1yde Henry as reporters. We had several big events to come up this year, but the greatest one was our class rings. We thought that they would never get here, but Santa thought we had been good and brought them to us two days before Christ- mas. We also went into the magazine business this year. We found that . we had some students who were really good salesmen. The Curtis Company awarded certificates to the two super salesmen 1n the class----Betty Wheeler and Dorothy Graebe. We divided into two teams, the Hatfields and the McCoys. Who won? Why, naturally, the McCoys. The losing team had to give the winning team a party which made it all the more interesting.
