S nwAA. PRESIDENT—DARRELL MACK VICE PRESIDENT—STANLEY ARCHIBALD SECRETARY—CHARLES LANDERS TREASURER—LYLE EDGECOMBE SENIOR CLASS HISTORY When we seniors entered the halls of N. T. H. S. in ’45, we numbered fifty-two and we were “green but growing.” In our honor the sophomores gave an all-school party. We all came to that party and took our initiations bravely. That year we chose our class motto, flower, and colors. The next year we returned fifty-one strong as “sophisticated” sophomores. That year we gave an all-school party for the freshmen and later they entertained us. Mary Kelly was the G. A. A. Carnival Queen. The third year was our eventful junior year as proud upperclassmen. We lost a few members, having only forty-seven to see the year through. Our class play, “Damsels in Distress,” was a great success. We sponsored the Harvest Dance and gave a farewell “prom” for the seniors who had entertained us at a Christmas party. That year, like this year, our class had two queens, Hazel Smalley, Harvest Queen, and Velora Hagemeier, Carnival Queen. This year, Gloria Kausic was Carnival Queen, and Dorothy Jones was Valentine Queen. We now number forty-six. Our biggest project this year was raising the money for the best yearbook N. T. H. S. has had. We can truly say that we have worked hard on this project. Among other things we sold candy, cards, magazines, had charge of the food concession at all the games, and gave a class play. We entertained the juniors at a Christmas party and we were the guests at their lovely “prom.” This year, as in all other years, we have been well represented in sports and all other school activities. Commencement was the night we all had been waiting for. For some it was a happy night, for others it was a sad one. It is hard to realize that next fall we shall not return and that never again shall we be together as a class. Everyone will be on his own. Only memories are left now, and memories that will never be forgotten. Yes, we, the graduating class of 1949, admit that the years spent at dear old N. T. H. S. will be among the best years of our lives. V. H. ELEVEN

ELMER LEE WILSON January 27, 19.12—March 14, 1919 Elmer Lee, whose sudden death occurred March 14, 1949, is sadly missed not only by the members of his senior class, but also by all students, teachers, and friends in N. T. H. S. “Skeet’s” chief interests were sports and music, especially band and piano. We hereby dedicate this page to the memory of our classmate and friend. Jin fRmnrtam Alfred Lord Tennyson Whereof the boy that with us trod This planet was of noble type Appearing ere the times were ripe That friend of ours who lives in God. That God, which ever lives and loves. One God, one law, one element, And one far-off divine event. To which the whole creation moves. TEN
