Senior Officers ELEANOR ANN SCHROEDER, President Hi! Porkey. LUCILLE E. BERNS. Vice President Aw, Shucks. LENA CONTERIO, Secretory I don’t know. ELIZABETH J. CIBEREY, Treasurer Where’s Kenny? Senior Class History On September 3, 1935, one hundred eleven timid infants stepped into the halls of N. T. H. S. to begin our high school training. As leaders, we chose Barney Kettelkamp, president: Kenneth Taylor, vice-president; Eleanor Ann Schroeder, secretary-treasurer; Mr. Priddle, sponsor. A wiener roast was our coming out party and everyone had a swell time. The next year we were back to school, not as infants but as lively youngsters. The officers chosen were sponsor, Mr. Cox; president, Alysious Keller; vice-president, Mildred Bauer; secretary-treasurer, Eleanor Ann Schroeder. In October we gave a wiener roast to which we invited the freshmen. Nineteen hundred thirty-seven and we were graduated into a higher class, the adult class. As leaders we chose Mrs. Gent and Mr. Bertoglio, sponsors; Jack Pritchett, president; Harriet Lloyd, vice-president; Charlotte Nash, secretary-treasurer. The seniors entertained us at a Christmas party and in return, with the help of our sponsors, we gave them a banquet-dance in May. This was the first dance in many years and we can say it was a real success. We also gave a play, The Crazy Mix-Up, which proved not a bad mix-up after all. Alas! Again the old familiar faces enter the halls of N. T. H. S. to spend our last year here and never to return again. As officers we chose Miss Yackle and Mr. Priddle, sponsors; Eleanor Ann Schroeder, president; Lucille Berns, vice-president; Lena Conterio, secretary; Elizabeth Ciberey, treasurer. During November, we gave a bake sale, the proceeds of which went into the Annual fund, and on December 21, we gave the juniors a Christmas dance. This spring we gave our class play and were the gues+s of the juniors at the junior-senior dance. Aged (?) and weary, but still working shoulder to shoulder, we leave N. T. H. S. As we look back over the past four years, we know they will be remembered as the happiest years of our life. I. J.-R. H. Sponsors: Colors: MISS YACKLE Green and White MR.
