OLD NOKQMIS- senior SPONSORS Miss Yackle Mr. Barth Senior Colors: Blue and White. Senior Motto: “The door to success is labeled ‘Push’.1 Senior Flower: American Beauty Rose. SENIOR CLASS HISTORY ’Twas on a bright September morn in the year of nineteen hundred twenty-five that sixty-eight boys and girls, eager to begin the fall plowing in the world of Knowledge, came to N. T. H. S. It was not an easy job—there were strange teachers and a new building—but, under the guidance of Mr. D. E. Zook and the Faculty, it did not take us long to get the plowing started. The upperclassmen had fun in initiating us, although this in no way kept us from continuing what we had started. We chose as our leaders, Ivan Johnson, president; Irene McLean, vice-president; Lillian Holmes, secretary-treasurer; Melvin Brueckner, class editor; Esther Johnson, Student Council representative; Mrs. Moody and Mr. Meyers, advisors. Blue and white were chosen for our class colors and for our motto we chose, “The door to success is labeled ‘Push’.” Things began to brighten after we were entertained by the Sophs on Hallowe’en, then came the stump clearing (the exams). This seemed unfair to us but we made short work of it. Again came fair weather in the form of our entertainment to the Sophs. When through with the plowing, we were informed that our lives as Freshmen had ended and we were ready to begin harrowing as Sophomores. In the beginning of our Sophomore year many of the plowers dropped out. The rest of us went to work with the harrow and were going merrily along until we had to stop to level some of the ditches (exams). They didn’t seem as hard as those of our first year. We chose as president, George Sale; vice-president, Grace Brown; secretary-treasurer, Marguerite Crain; class editor, Grace Brown; -22 .
