The junior class has compiled an enviable record of achievements ever since it first entered the campus of NHS. There has always been a pre- vailing desire to subdue and conquer all obstacles, no matter how apparent- ly insurmountable. Everyone is given an adequate chance to be a vital part of the junior class. Our activities make every person share in our glory and feel he is essential to our progress and is needed for the ultimate success that our class aspires to attain. We started the year by electing an all-male aggregation of class officers: T'cd Reynolds, president; Maurice Holland, vice-president; James Argo, secretary-treasurer. We chose Mrs. Bernice Mowdy, Mrs. J. B. Williams, Mrs. Radical Kelly, and Miss Nadine Runyan as sponsors. This year the Trail queen was elected from the ranks of the juniors. Wylodcan Cornelison was the second girl to win this honor from the class Publicity-mad juniors, always ready to have their pictures taken are: upper left, Wylodcan Cornelison; upper right, Natalie Lund; lower left, Betty Lou Rambo; lower right, Ted Reynolds [24|

Although the Trail queen candidates this year were not spon- sored by the classes, the juniors rallied to the aid of their class member. When the race was over, everyone sighed with relief mingled with pride, knowing he had played an important part in bringing about the outcome. All through the year we raised money for the junior-senior reception. Our tireless efforts were rewarded with a reception, impressive and beautiful, thoroughly satisfactory to all of us. Juniors placed entrants in every one of the school’s activities. It is im- possible to list all these prominent in- dividuals in so small a space. The junior class now stands looking back in retrospect and ahead in antici- pation of blazing new trails to un- charted fields in the time that we have left in high school. In ending our school year, the O' ' junior class is leaving behind it an en- viable record in athletics, scholarship and activities. We are loking for- ward with a great deal of eagerness to our senior year, a year we know will be full of lasting friendships, of hap- piness, and of honest endeavor. —Charles Spradlin Upper left: Maurice Holland and Sidney Durham conversing while somc- [25] body’s hand tries to join them Upper right: Vincent Miller and Joe Birchum seem interested in the girls, but harry Wallace, who is “going steady,” seems bored Lower left: Martha Washington should give the hat back, judging from Buck Spradlin's haircut Lower right: Like many girls, Bennie Shultz is up in the air over Bill Fox
