OLD NOKOMIS 1936 Freshman Class History On September 3, 1935. one hundred eleven timid Freshmen entered the doors of N.T.H.S. out of which number thirteen dropped during the first quarter, leaving ninety-eight. We didn't know much about the ways and doings of high school, but with the help of our upper-classmen, we were started. For our leaders we chose Barney Kettelkamp, president; Kenneth Taylor, vice-president; Eleanor Ann Schroeder, secretary-treasurer; Dorothy Nicol and James Geitz, song and cheer leader; Mr. Priddle, sponsor. Our President called a meeting in which we decided to make our social debut at a wiener roast. Luck was with us—it didn't rain, and all had a good time. The Sophomores were kind and gave us a Hallowe en party. Many Freshmen took part in the different activities during the year. There were seven in the orchestra, five in F.F.A., eight in football, out of which number one (Ferdinando Calvetti) was a letter man, and fifteen in basketball. When the first year in high school is over, we shall look backward with fond memories, and forward with great expectations. E A S Class Motto: We Push and Will Conquer. Class Colors: Green and White. Class Flower: White Rose. Students on the Honor Roll three successive quarters: Erna Abrolat Delbert Huber Mildred Bauer Athanasia Jaros Lena Conterio Florence Kmet Josephine Lipovsek JRS., SOPHS., AND FROSH. When graduation time draws near And Seniors get the high-brow too, Oh, Sophomores, Juniors, and Freshmen dear, The world has not forgotten you. For tho' it seems to you these days That Seniors are above the rest, You soon will stand with eyes agaze And strut about with puffed out chest. And when your time to leave arrives, I hope that you will remember who Tried hard to tell you that the school Could not go except for you. —V. B. Twenty
