The first big taste of the lives of upperclassrnen was felt when the juniors put in orders for their class rings. The rings, those with the school seal on them, were ordered in the late fall and arrived at the end of the first semester. When the second semester rolled around, the following were elected to act as class officers: George Schip- poreit, president, Bob Nelson, vice president, Kay Mathews, secretary, and Jean Steffen, treasurer. Then in the spring there came that day of all days-Field Day-when all grudges were settled between the two upper classes. Distressed young gals were worrying how to get egg and tomato out of their eyes and hair. But why worry? It was no time until both were washed off by a dunking in the lagoon. The kids and their sponsors did have a good time however, even if the general atmos- phere was anything but party-like. Then all of a sudden, it was upon them. The night all had been waiting for. Their first prom. The fellas hid their excitement behind an air of nonchalance and indifference. The girls didn't try to hide their feelings. The excitement and expectancy they felt radiated from them. Best of all, the hugely successful banquet and prom turned out just as all had dreamed and planned. Serving as sponsors for the Class of '51 were: Miss Nadine Catron, Buford Grosscup, Miss Ruth Hell- man, Luther Heller and Miss Anna Moehring. Whether it was in athletics, music, cheerleading, dramatics, or any other of the numerous school activities, you could always find some energetic juniors out there giving their all for their class, their school, and their community. This Junior Class of 1951 has set a pace which will be hard to beat, their excelling ways and active school life, leave behind a challenge to all who follow them as juniors at N.H.S.

uniors Exciting and excellingf' Those are the words best fitted to describe the life and times of this year's Jun- ior Class. The class began its active year by electing class officers.

The Student Council, still in its infancy at N.ll.S., had its share of brains, beauty, and brawn, when the juniors sent Marilyn Deibler, Lor- raine Dieter, Ronnie Burns and Rex Menuey as their representatives. Oh so near, and yet so far, could well have been the cry of the juniors after this year's traditional Ilare and Hound Race. As the final minutes of the race sped by, the junior scouts were only 250 yards from the hiding senior llZ11'6S. After they had vainly but enthusiastically climbed every barbed wire fence, and jumped every gulley in Madison County, for so it seemedl, the juniors plodded wearily back to the school gym where wel- comed refreshments were awaiting them. Y In mid-winter, production was started on the class play, Jenny Kissed Me. The much-sought-after roles went to: Rex Menuey, George Schipporeit, Marilyn Deibler, JoAnn Peters, Noreen Alderman, Carol Weidner, Bonnie Solfermoser, Kay Mathews, Shirley Spence, Bob Haasch, Amy Brown, Nancy lloile, Maraleen Callies and Ronnie Burns. Student Directors Jean Steffen and Bill Christian were assisted by hard- working juniors who served on the various play committees, necessary for making the play a success.
