Motto: “Teamwork brings success.” Colors: American Beauty and White Flower: American Beauty Rose Class Riston] When the greatest class in the history of N. T. H. S. entered the portals to which they were to carry so much fame, they were ninety strong. The first year the following leaders were chosen: Harriet Challans, President; Dick Engeihart, Vice-President; Anna Kurila, Secretary-Treasurer; Everett Lewey, Student Council Representative; and Mrs. Eekhoff and Mr. Myers, advisors. The second year this class began to show more ability than the average. For leaders they chose Raymond Goodwin, President; Ruth Underwood, Vice-President; Anna Modok. Secretary-Treasurer; Ellen Kanke, Student Council Representative, and Miss Pircher and Mr. Cosner, advisors. The third year, beginning to be noti ed, this exceptional class chose to lead them Darwin Gibson, President; George Bertolino, Vice-President; Helen Read, Secretary-Treasurer; Nellie Carroll, Student Council Representative; and Miss Ronchetti and Mr. Barth, advisors. This last year there are sixty-six in the fame winning class. To lead (hem to their goal they chose at the beginning of the year Mike Geletka, President; Ann Cibulka, Vice-President; Raymond Goodwin, Secretary-Treasurer; Audrey Beatty, Student Council Representative; and Miss Ronchetti and Mr. Barth, advisors. This class of ’33 through all troubles, depression, bank failures, et cetera, carried on, even to publish this record breaking Annual. Watch the Hall of Fame and notice if you cannot find them all there. 1933 (§lii Nnlunuia IPill of Class of '33 We, the undersigned, on passing out upon the great road of life and wishing to leave behind a few rememorances of oar sojourn here, being of sound mind and sane action do will and bequeath the following articles to these said persons with the provision that they in the future will always remember us with respect and honor.

Attorney—Geraldine Hulet. Witnesses—Miss Ronchetti, Mr. Barth. Senior Prophecy As I walked into the bluish room I turned to my friend, remarking how the seances had changed since the time I was in school. At the thought of school days I decided to ask the medium about the class of 1933. Through her I learned that George Berto-lino had become a professional ball player and had just married a nurse who had been an old classmate of his. Virginia Best had just been starred by the successor of Zieg-field. Ann Cibulka had married a year after she graduated and now had two sets of twins. Nita Balestri had become an old maid and had started selling bonds in Wall street, becoming exceedingly rich. Audrey Beatty, much to everyone’s surprise, had become a famous poet overnight and was as much quoted as the Bible. Wilma Brakenhoff had entered a training school for young wives, because, although not married yet. she had hopes. Floyd Bauer had become a specialist in the treatment of worn-out farms. Mirgaret Chismar had become a famous designer under Adrian after her hard luck in marriage and divorce. Squirt Dilley had married a girl a few years younger than himself and had become a successful mine engineer. Lucille Bradley had married a widower with three children but the family had increased to eight now. Paul Engelman had entered professional football and had become more famous than “Red” Grange. Nellie Ca-roll, the wonder of this class, had become the wife of the late president and was now the highest leader in society. Rose Calcio, along with Virginia Best, had been starred in the latest production, “Welcome Spring.” LaVerne Bauman had become the teacher of American History (§lii Jfakomia 1933 in the N. T. H. S. Dove Florini, now living in Ohlman, had become well known for his bar service. Irma Engelman was an old maid and was now teaching German in N. T. H. S. Darwin Gibson had become the founder and now was president of the nationally known club “Professional Women Haters.” William Gudaitis had become secretary-treasurer and Thomas Vercellone business manager of this club and were advancing with great strides to high achievements. Ellen Kanke had married shortly after graduation and had joined the circus in which her husband was manager. Geraldine Hulet was still aspiring to that unheard fame which she probably never will live to acquire. She was living a very lonesome life as an old maid in a deserted village in France where she had gone to learn different languages. June Hinton had settled down to farm life around Tower Hill where her husband was working. Margaret Hauser had married a wealthy store owner and had moved to Chicago. Raymond Goodwin and Alfred Johnson were sueing Darwin’s club because it had not saved them from the pangs of love. They declared that it wasn’t what it was cracked up to be. Vlora Hirjak was now the teacher of Home Economics in a small town in Alaska. Ernest Kopec was at this time still moaning over his lost love affair and was thinking of joining Darwin’s club. Everett Lewey had become a well known dentist and had just lately pulled a tooth that no one had ever pulled before. Anna Mehochko was living on a farm with the man of her dreams, trying out a new method of raising orphan children. Frank Furimsky and Edward Havera had married twins and were still arguing. Agnes Havera and Emma Stepansky had just started on a round-the-world trip in a row boat. Lucille Hard, Geraldine Klimm and Loretta McLean were living in a rich man’s fiat in New York and were still having a swell time. Rose Holland, Catherine McKenna, Gertrude Pallai and Jane Peters had been left a legacy of one million dollars a year, bv a rich man who had visited them once, providing that they would never marry. They are s ill traveling. Juanita Herpstreith had settled down in Morrisonville and was still living with her folks. Bruce Kieslar and Paul Engelman, with the help of Paul Monaghan as silent partner, were running a national milk route. Their slogan was “Better milk from even the worst cows.” Dwain Walchcr had become a famous surgeon and was living with his parents in Chicago. Nataleis Vighi, now in Italy, had become known the world over for his violin playing. His favorite was still “Turkey in the ©1ft Nnknmts 1933 Straw.” Vivian Perkins had just made his fifth marriage. This to a dazzling French widow. Mildred Verricker and Mariann Laughlin had become believers in the lifting up of young girls and were going around preaching their doctrine. Berle Kessler, Carl Stolte and Paul Keller had organized a partnership air line from Long Beach. Calif., to Salem. Mass. Their latest record had been six minutes. Lee Pope and John Vernetti were now famous scientists. Lee had a theory that the world was flat and John was trying to help him prove it. Julia Wadzita and Mildred Rhodes were living in Chicago. Neither had married as yet but both were going strong. Helen Read had become the greatest hiker in the U. S. She had just hiked from Nome, Alaska, to Buenos Aires, Argentina, in twelve hours. Esther Pocock and Helen Schneider had just finished their season at the Metropolitan Opera House. Neuvella Smith had married the month after she was graduated and was still living in Nokomis and now had three hundred hatcheries. Charles Schneider, John Schneider and Frank Tosi had just finished some very delicate tests in which they determined the thickness of the average pencil to the billionth of an inch. Tony and Frank Strazar, who had settled in Pana, had just set up a clinic for cats. Much surprised over some of these revelations I yet determined to take them with ‘‘a grain of salt.” As I walked from the lovely room I remarked to my friend: “Believe it or not, but some of these may be true.” Future Farmers of America The Future Farmers of America held their organization meeting early in the school year. The following officers were elected. President—Charles Schneider; vice-president—Charles Keller; treasurer—Carl Stolte; secretary—Paul Engelman; reporter— Wilbur Herzog; advisor—Mr. Stumm. The F. A. A. holds a business and program meeting once each month, and meets on Monday nights for recreation. The State convention will be held at Urbana in June. Two delegates from the Nokomis chapter will attend the convention. A National convention is held at the time of the Royal Livestock Show held at Kansas City in November. The F. F. A public speaking contest for this section will be held at Lincoln. At the fall judging contest Nokomis Future Farmers placed second in the judging of corn. Cleo Jostes was third high, and James Stewart was sixth high individual in corn. Earl Bauman was third high in the judging of poultry. (W. H.) (01ft Sfakomia 1 33 Top Row—D. Gibson, C. Glasgow, D.

During the entire season, our team lost only two games, one of which was a conference game. Our team placed second in the conference. FOOTBALL SCHEDULE.

(0lii 2uiluntus 1333 Orchestra and Chorus The simplest and most direct approach to the study of music, to a realization of the appreciation of music as an art, is through songs, either vocal or instrumental, because a song is a direct and simple appeal to the emotions. An art form to be an art form must have this quality of direct appeal. It arouses immediate emotional or feeling response, and it does something else. It arouses in the auditor, the listener, a desire to repeat, to take part, an impulse toward participation, or, to use the rather trite expression, a desire for self-expression. This pleasing unity of sounds, however, as mere sound, conveys no direct meaning. There must be appropriate words which appeal directly to the mind. There is then immediate reaction and interplay between the intellect and the emotions, each making the other more direct, more sure, each helping te amplify and enrich the other and make it more available for future recall. The pupil who has a knowledge of music, in whatever field it may be, has something the other person does not have. It is quite true that we use music for every occasion. We use it in time of sadness; we use it in time of gladness. It behooves us to use it in the right manner at the right times. Our music department always stands ready to help in school and civic enterprises. Our total chorus enrollment for tnis year numbered thirty-two and for our orchestra thirty-eight. Mostly three-part songs were sung in chorus. Classical, semi-classical and popular selections were practiced throughout the year by the orchestra. “Music is in all growing things; And underneath the silky wings Of smallest insects there is stirred A pulse of air that must be heard; Earth’s silence lives and throbs and sings. “To match and mate Feeling with knowledge—make as manifest Soul’s work as mind’s work, turbulence as rest; Hates, loves, joys, woes, hopes, fears that rise and sink ceaselessly,— Can music rescue this from Soul’s profound Give feeling immortality by sound Then is she queenliest of arts.” 1933 (01ft Nnkmttis (§1 Nokomia 1933 Qirls' Athletic Association President..................H ler Re°d Vice President.............
