THE T A M A RACK Class Will E. 420 Any Place L ' nited States, America January, 1934 Dear North Central, This is just a note to find out how everyom- was pleased with our will, left to the school four years ago by our January 30 class. We ' ll bet the frosh appreciate the supreme knowledge that we bequeathed to them. It must have helped them a lot. We wonder if Johnny Sommer is out of this higher place of learning yet. He must have enjoyed the use of Beatrice Bemiss ' intelli- gence. Oh yes ! And how is old Dapper Dan getting along on those speeches with the aid of Chuck Campbell ' s great oratorical ability? We are sure glad that Bob (Irieve played such a wonderful game at guarti with Carl Carbon ' s drive back of him. Say, has our dear old friend Kay Langen- bach been elected Pow Wow Princess yet? He crrtaiijy should have been with Bertha Cieorge ' s wonderful femininity and charm on top of his own. Although we realize that he couldn ' t hold as high a jKjsiticm, we would like to know how Clyde Vigil got along with Bill Mc- Cluskey ' s sleuthing abilities. And last but also the most important (ha! we fooleii you). Has that big fellow Goliath been able to attain as high a degree of curios- ity as Beatrice White had? We certainly hope he hasn ' t but he was getting an awful good start. Although we would like to ask about the many others to whom we willed things we will clo.se, and don ' t forget to write us a nice long letter and tell us all the new.s. Very sincerely yours. Class of January 1930 By Will Conmiittee, GUY MILLER (Chairman) MARIAN DORTCH MARGARET BARDSLEY Class Historif We came, we saw and we hoped to con- quer ! Ix ng ago, in January, 1926, there arrived at the open portals of N. C. H. S., perhaps the most frightened and yet destine ! to be one of the greatest cla.s.ses that ever went through the institution. For the fact remains tlmt thr class of ' 30 made a creditable record in its four years of earnest endeavors to teach the faculty .something. Our first effort to outdo other clas.ses was the winning of the interclass track meet, ac- complished by the frosh girls. Our illustrious vice i)rincipal, John Shaw, by the u.se of a bles.sed foresight came to the conclusion that with the help of the student body and loyal supjHjrters of .North Central, the rock pile which had .so long blemished the view of the school, could, with the help of a certain amount of money and a great deal of hard work, be transformed into a playfield wluch would do honor to our institution. On the 15th day of April Mr. Shaw started the job by pur- chasing this rock pile for the sum of $9000. We visualized a football field, track, a ba.se- ball diamond, tennis and handball courts. Now as .seniors our visions are realities. But back to the first year, we felt satisfaction as well as relief when we graduated from the ranks of the frosh. What a change when we were sophs! In- stead of the fearing we were known as the disturbing element of the .school. By this time we had overcome our inferiority com- [261

During the second year we had not only caught th« ' spirit of N. C. but we gave it a material boost by continueti subscrip- tions to the playfield fund. Oh! The joy of being Juniors! Mortal enemies of the Sophomores and the S ' nioTs, there was only one class we could be conde- .s ' ending toward — the Freshies. Fully reali -- ing our resiwnsibility as up[)erclassmen, we resolved not only to have a good time but to play more than our part in the various activities of the .sch M)l. For example Charles Campbell, our worthy e iitor, had twice won the Ahlquist Debate and Carl Carbon was well est.iblishe l in s] orts. Earl Wyatt, our .song- bird had been in two operettas; Mildred Hob- inson and Rol)erta Shanks were stars of the swimming team; I ucille Latham was becoming prominent in Ciirls ' League work. .John Play- field Sliaw left us this year to become the principal of Havermale Junior high, the fac- tory from which future prominence was to sprout. He left us with a field that was .so far completed that many of our sporting ac tivities could be carried out ujion it. Walter C. Haues then took up his disciplinary duties. Our junior year was an overwhelm- ing success, both from the standpoint of the class and from the standpoint of the school :is a whole. At last the destined day came and we ar- rived at .school with our heads high in the air for we had now reached the top and were Seniors. Our Senior B year was a success under the leadership of Roland Johnson as president; Bertha George, vice president; Frances Jones, secretary; and Guy Miller, treasurer. As Senior A ' s the members of the Girls ' League decided that no one was better fitted to guide the girls through the semester than Marian Dortch, president; Margaret Bardsley, vice president; and Helen Lieb, .secretary as her assistants, all from our class. Our da.ss aided football with stars from the January .iO class such as Winton Welch, Tom Ma.son, Al Dibble and Gill)ert McGinni.s. -Marjorie Corbit and Evelyn Henkle made a name for themselves on the tennis team. In conclusion we can say that the good times that the class has had have been very numerous. W ' e need but mention our senior play Noth- ing But the Truth for everyone t i recall wluit a huge success it was. We were the first January class to give a successful prom. We wish to express our appreciation to the entire faculty for their help and cooperation. We are now looking forward to graduation. When it is .ill over we v •ill probably be wish- ing we could come back even if we had to be Freshies again. At any rate we ' ll never forget our high school days.
