High School Days are F1111 of Action Heave Ho my lads and pry open the lid of this, our treasure laden chest, the 1959 Nichlosean. Layer by layer we uncover in this chest the never, never-to-be-forgotten wealth of memorable achieve- ments and exploitations of our four years of pillage, plundering, and booty taking, ' As each layer of golden treasure is displayed we pause or linger long enough for you to recall with us the high spirit of adventure, and the glorious wonder of our performances and acquirements. From our great ship, NCHS, teeming with treas- ures we have gathered much for our lockers: an enormous wealth of knowledge, of experiences, and of friendships that we herewith unfold for you. We halt to pay homage to our Pirate Chief, our captains, their crew and members, our fellow pir- ates, and our fellow contenders. We let you share in the glory and beauty of our clubs, our teamwork, our pageants of achievements, and our undertakings beyond the call of duty. We pause too, to appreciate the holders-of-the purse strings, our advertisers.

Packed Assemblies, Activities - Learning Service is our most extensive extra- curricular activity. Before school, after school, between classes-our students can always be found serving their school. As clubs, as groups, as individuals, we respond spontaneously to challenging needs. Caught by the cameraman are the ma- iorettes doing pyramids on the campus at West Virginia State College, thus fur- nishing wholesome advertising for the school. They are-on the ground: Becky Walker and Nancy Rose. Kneeling: Pris- cilla Tinnil and Ramona Frame. Standing: Shirley Wagner, Carol Frame, and Paula Taylor. Typical student life is pictured with these boys trolicking on the campus at noon: Paul Groves, Joe Kirker, Bill Mc- lntire, Nicky Nichols, Terry Fyock, Walter Rogers, Jerry McCue, and David Lunter.
