Class History Senior Class of 1957 The year of 1953 saw seven studious boys and girls enter N.H.S as green Freshmen eagerly looking forward to four years of ardent study. The girls were Lois Kimball, Mary Ann Truax, and Corinne Toso. The boys; Rodger Rude, William Jacobs, Gary Stiles and Harlan Braathen. The highlight of our Freshman year was our Freshman initiation party which was on September 25, 1953. It took place in the old school building and following this ordeal we were finally full-pledged members of N.H.S. On November 6, 1953 we honored the Sophomores with a return party. All the students came dressed as bums and prizes were given to those wearing the best costumes. Our class officers were as follows; President, Gary Stiles; Vice-President, Lois Kimball; Secretary, William Jacobs; and Treasurer, Rodger Rude. Corinne Toso was chosen for our queen candidate. Harlan Braathen discontinued school this year and at present is living on a farm South of Noonan. In the fall of 1954 only five eager faces entered the Sophomore Class of N.H.S., as Gary Stiles continued his schooling in Regan, North Dakota. The fulfillment of our dreams came true during the week of September 14-21 when we initiated the Green Freshmen. As we officially welcomed the Freshmen into high school, we were the honored guests at the Freshman Return Party on November 9, 1954. Mary Ann Truax was chosen as our queen candidate. The officers elected were; President, Lois Kimball; Vice-President, Corinne Toso; Secretary, Rodger Rude; Treasurer, Bill Jacobs. The new school building was completed before the school year was over so we helped in the process of moving. The last event of our Sophomore year was our class picnic. Beginning as Juniors we selected Mary Ann Truax as President; Bill Jacobs, Vice-President; Corinne Toso, Treasurer; Rodger Rude, Secretary. Lois was chosen to compete in the contest for Queen of N.H.S. We presented our class play, Room No. 13 , on March 23, 1956. This brought in a large profit which was useful to us for our Junior-Senior Banquet and Prom which was held May 11, 19 56. For our theme we chose, Hawaiian Cruise . The Hultgrens furnished the music. On September 4, 1956, the same Mighty Five entered N.H.S. as Seniors. Lois was elected President of the Student Council; Mary Ann and Rodger, Representives; Corinne, Treasurer. Our class play entitled, Me and My Shadow , was held on November 9, 1956. Again we had to rely on the help of the under- classmen. On May 3, 1957, the Juniors gave us a very fine Junior-Senior banquet and prom with the theme of Oriental Gardens. We left for the Black Hills on May 9, 1957 for Senior Day. Baccalaureate was held on May 12, 1957. Commencement exercises were held on May 16, 1957, which climaxed our high school careers.
