 2 dic a te cl • • • To those who follow, As students of Nitro High School, one of your most constant companions is the “Spirit of NHS.” As freshmen you are greeted by him; guided by him through the next four memorable years. Your most cherished memories in years to come will, no doubt, be of him and the wealth of experiences he repre- sents. It is to you who follow us, that we dedicate this 1952 WILDCAT. To you we leave the task of main- taining the “Spirit” of the high school we so proudly call our Alma Mater. 4 The Seniors of 1952

NTTRO HIGH SCHOOL Waiur P Snyder. PriadpnJ NITRO. WEST VIRGINIA To the Class of 52: High school graduation—a goal toward which you have been working for twelve years will soon become a reality. You are to be con- gratulated on having achieved this goal, not because it indicates that you have acquired any particular skills or fund of knowledge, but rather because your having a high school diploma places you in the upper 50 per cent of your age group. One of the greatest pleasures which a high school principal has is the opportunity to watch young people develop through the awkward, self-conscious years of adolescence into confi- dent, mature, young men and women. Memories of my association with you during these formative years 1 shall cherish as I leaf through the 1952 Wildcat. In leave taking the Germans are wont to say, aufwiedersehen ; the French, au revoir ; the Spanish, adios ; the Romans used to say, vale. However, to you I say simply goodbye and best wishes for happiness in the years to come. Sincerely v.alter F. Snyder, Nitro High School MRS. kvtii Sax«ocK Secreted cuf 0f tL Srt
