FRESHMAN CLASS OFFICERS OLD NOKOMIS Harriet Challans President Anna Kurila Secretary-treasurer Dick Encelhart Vice-president Everett Lewey Student Council Representative FRESHMAN CLASS HISTORY Nine short years ago we felt quite grown up, skipping to school with a pencil and tablet under one arm, and a primer in the other hand. Most of us were headed toward one of the Nokomis grade schools or toward a rural school. After eight years of study and fun, we were promoted to dear old N. T. H. S. We started the year with ninety-six enrolled as members of our class, but our number has decreased to ninety. At our first class meeting we elected our class advisors, Mrs. Eekhoff and Mr. Myers. We also elected the following class officers: Harriet Challans, president ; Dick Engelhart, vice-president; Anna Kurila, secretary-treasurer; and Everett Lewey, Student Council representative. On the evening of November 25, the Sophomores entertained the Freshmen at a Hallowe’en party which was given in the N. T. H. S. gym, and the Freshmen reciprocated with a Valentine party, February 15. About this time, a class meeting was called, and it was announced that we were to select our class colors, class flower, and class motto. The votes w'ere counted and the results were as follows: Class colors, American beauty and wdiite; class flower, American beauty rose; class motto. “Teamwork brings success”. We are quite proud of our class in regard to good scholarship, for when the report cards came out for the first quarter, we had twelve of our members on the Honor Roll, five of whom had a five-point average. That sounds splendid but we hope to make it sound better next time. In addition to this, we have four Freshmen enrolled in the orchestra and twelve enrolled in chorus. We believe the Freshmen have done quite well this year and hope they will show great progress in their following three years. R. U. Page 16
