H. S.—We seniors are leaving. Long will we be remembered by everyone who knew us or even heard of us (ant surely everyone has). We entered N. H. S. as a group of brilliant freshies in 1950. We were at onee taken into the hearts of everyone there (and immediately thrown back out). We were so smart, they thought about letting us graduate at the end of our freshman year (they were just trying to get rid of us). We decided as a group that we didn’t want to do this. All were so happy about this that they cried (they couldn’t stand the thought of three more years of us). We entered our sophomore year and rose to even greater heights. Our sports stars, though only on the second team, were the best (don’t tell anyone, but it was we sophomores that helped the seniors get through the year). During the junior year we gave a very successful play (really, none of the cast was hurt by those brickbats they threw). Next we gave a prom, the most beautiful prom N. H. S. had ever seen. Now we are seniors. We have nearly reached the end of our career at N. H. S. We are really the bosses at the school this year (we were asked to be faculty and board, but declined this honor because of the jobless teachers it would leave). Although we will never forget our years at N. H. S., I am sure that we will go on to become just as (even more) famous in other places. In a few years the Hall of Fame will probably be enlarged for all of us, or maybe it will be moved to Nokomis. Anyway, it’s been nice to have been at Nokomis H. S. and we shall long remember our four years there. Bye! —D. B FIFTEEN S nwhA. Senior Officers Mr. Robbins. Advisor: Miss Yackle. Advisor: George Moeller. President: Ann Norris.
