PRESIDENT—PETE BLASKO VICE PRESIDENT—JIM KEELE SECRETARY—RALPH HECK TREASURER—NORMAN CHADWICK JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY Early in September, 1946, fifty-six of us enrolled at N. T. H. S. as green freshmen. We chose Mr. Myers and Mr. Tregoning to lead us through our first year. We returned for our sophomore year to find that we had lost eight of our class and now numbered only forty-eight. To lead us through our second successful year, we chose Miss Hogue and Miss Shortenhaus as our sponsors. After three months of vacation we once again entered the now familiar halls of N.T.H.S. Checking the roll, we found that our class numbered forty-seven, including new pupils from surrounding schools. To lead us through our third year we chose Pete Blasko, Ralph Heck, Jim Keele, and Norman Chadwick. Miss Hogue and Miss Pircher were elected to sponsor us. We had a hayride and presented our class play, “Good Gracious, Grandma,” which was a great success. During December the seniors entertained us at a Christmas party wh'ch was enjoyed by everyone. We also gave a Valentine dance for the entire student body, and the seniors a farewell “Prom.” We are now looking forward to being the senior class of next year. MISS HOGUE MISS PIRCHER Sponsors G.
