We little freshies, meek and mild, Have grown to sophomores, bold and wild. Geniuses we have, who read books galore, But when school is out we charge for the door. We’ve lived through exams like brave knights of old, As the experts would say, we have brilliance untold. We drive our teachers stark raving mad, But they’ll have to admit, we’re not really bad. Our study halls, so dear to us, Are sources of laughter, but the teachers fuss. In the library, our favorite retreat, We talk and talk but Miss Yackle’s still sweet. Our class officers and sponsors deserve a big hand, As well as the sophomores who play in the band. Our athletes are strong, their muscles are large, To all of the girls they give a big charge. Our sophomore cheerleader, Dorothy Stauder, Can beat all the rest by yelling louder. Of love and romances our class has a history, But to all outsiders it is quite a mystery. Yes, we sophomores are proud of our class, Confident of the future and glorying in the past. The Quints. TWENTY-NINE

CLASS MOTTO “Together we stick; divided we’re stuck.” CLASS FLOWER Chrysanthemum CLASS COLORS Purple and Gold HONOR STUDENTS (five successive semesters) Marilyn Arkebauer Barbara Bertolino Doris Dahler Joyce Snyder Mary Lou Shoemaker We 46 freshmen who entered high school in ’51 were the “most” to say the least. We hate to be conventional, but—“Good things come in small packages.” That first year they really laid it on us but it was just a case of the “survival of the fittest” and all but a few of us came out on top. In fact, over one-fourth of our class were honor students. What a class! In the May of ’52 we became sophomores. We were really getting up in the world. As “sophs” we helped the school scholastically as well as “extra-curricularly.” Now we are juniors. We’ve lost three of our greatest—the “brain” Charlotte Von Behren; the humorist, Ivan Williams; and the girl of your dreams, Ann Middleton. We did get some help from Fillmore, though. A “bunch of swell kids” came in from there and are filling and overflowing those vacancies. In the spring of ’55 we’ll leave good old N. H. S., but before we do, we juniors will help largely in making this high school the greatest. B. B. and M. L. S. TWENTY-EIGHT
