Summa , THE AIMS OF OUR SCHOOL The new year of 1950 begins the first year N. H. S. has been out of debt in the last four years. Iam not bragging or being sarcastic. rnly tryirg to rut over a point l'his debt was not av y one persons fault. It came about because ofthe Izcc if' sch 1 il spirit thrfmghout the student h ldv. With the help of the principal, faculty. a'il with student co-operation. good school spirit has begun to return to the school. I believe I am safe in saying that the class of '50 is happy to see this turning point before we graduate. We are leaving three swell classes to carry on the work and the new class that comes in next year will be glad to pitch in, too. The high school is back on its feet and has great possibilities. When the future was dark there were no plans. Already there has been set up a list of aims for the school to accomplish. We have the school spirit, ambitious students and co-operative faculty to go ahead and carry out the aims. The aims are, first, to take care of the neccessities, then bring in luxuries later. The school needs new girls' basketball suits, vtarm-up jackets for both boys and girls. baseball suits and baseball equipment. Long awaited letters, numerals, and numbers need to be bought and awarded to deserving students. Ribbons, pins, cups and other prizes must be paid for, too. After these neces- sities are taken care of, luxuries will be bought which will bring in more and more school spirit. The only way to pay for all this is for every student to get behind the school activities. They must be behind the school to get the backing of the towns- people. There is no place for faiiure in in the future of N. H. S. Virene Booth '50 To the students of N. H. S. My topic may seem a little childish for high school students, but I think it is a topic which concerns more students than one might think. Do you like to come back to your home room and constantly find your new text books missing and that new pen or pencil gone? We all know that books can be misplaced, but when they turn up with covers half off and pages torn, it shows that these books have been abused. As for this borrowing of pens and pencils, let's at least try to find the owner when we're through with them. Also, I am sure none of us appreciate a loose desk top or one that is so full of holes that it is almost impossible to write on it. So let's make this a year of achievement in book knowledge, a year of pro- gress in mental maturity as well. S. Smith, '50.
