School Life Is Memories Students have fond memories of all phases of school life. These memories come from honors as well as social events. Some events will be forgotten, while others will leave a deep impression in the minds of students and faculty. Memories are what one makes them. Looking back over former days at NNHS, many students will remember them as the happiest of their lives. Bill Barnard, Hi-Y president, congratulates Mike Barnes on re- ceiving the Sportsmanship Award for the 1963 football season. Mike was chosen by his fellow teammates to receive this honor. Howard Conn, Susan Price, John Scull and Clyde Point are getting in tune for a hootenanny session. Hootenannies feature not only per- formances by the entertainers but also participation by the audience. The 1963 Hootenanny, the first put on by a peninsula high school, will long be remembered by the students and faculty of NNHS. School students as well as outside talent participated in this event. xvj s m w «H| L. § M M 3 ' ' t (L. to R.)
