-nn, With Compass True, e Find Direction As the compass helps the mariner to find his course throughout his voyage, so does North Platte High School aid its students in discovering a direction to follow throughout their lives. Here they chart the main course they wish to follow in future years, and learn the best ways to fulfill these dreams. The numerous academic courses and classes offered lead the students to general vocational fields following graduation. The college preparatory course introduces them to specialized fields of higher education, while the general course meets the needs of all who are undecided about the future. Preparing students to take places in the business world is the goal of the popular commercial course.

The wide variety of clubs serves to guide students to the discovery of many new horizons which present end- less opportunities for fun and service to NPHS and the community. Membership in instrumental and vocal groups, the Student council, the Student Service group, the Activities assembly, the publications staffs, and the casts for dramatic presentations pilots them to the exploration of new fields which may lead to occupational interests for lifetime careers. Participation in athletic disputes as either spectators or players builds attitudes of good sportsmanship and goodwill between schools. The games also give students occasion to make new friends from other high schools. The 1953 Round-Up is designed to be a record for recalling times of work, service, friendships, and play at North Platte Senior High School during the year 1952-1953. 1953 em.4.u,, gag Editor-in-chief .........................,..
