FOREWORD Fifty years have passed at N. H. S. — fifty years well spent in the educating of free citizens for a free society. Progress of time leaves a definite mark on us all and time has brought changes to N. H. S. Through the wise stewardship of our leaders and faculty members, through the local support of the Alumni and the community, these changes have been good ones. The members of the 1951 Amptennian Staff are proud to be your guides as we turn the pages back through the years to pay tribute to good friends, to record changes that come with time, and to re-awaken happy memories. We feel, too, that it is reasonable to prophesy that fifty years from now a new class of Seniors will have the greater pleasure of celebrating a centennial For N. H. S. will continue to stand the severe and never-ending test of time. Her destiny rests with us, her living Alumni, and we shall remain faithful. Nancy Rehrig Editor in Chief A CKNO WLEDGMENTS The 1951 Amptennian Staff extends sincere thanks to the many friends who have helped to make our yearbook possible. As we progressed in compiling our annual, two special problems confronted us. First, we had to collect historical data for 50 Years at N. H. S. Second, we hoped to launch our book on a new financial system. Our first problem was solved with the help of many interested Alumni and friends, who so willingly assisted us with our book of memories. Our grateful thanks go to them and to our commercial, professional, and personal patrons who so gra- ciously adapted themselves to our new financial system, thereby making our book possible. As you turn the pages of the 1951 Amptennian, may you find pleasant and happy memories of 50 Years at N. H. S. LovEY Demchyk Assistant Editor Pasc (i
