CLASS HISTORY September 1951 . . . We entered Northampton High as eighth graders, bugeyed and awestruck . . . As the year progressed and we became a part of the institution called N.H, S., we became less timid and began to enjoy the many activities. We gave our first “grown-up” rj!£i party • • • The girls of the class fin- ally became reconciled to the fact J A 0? that the Junior and Senior boys didn’t know they existed. Voy kO M % ) The next year, we, as y ' O ' freshmen, were a little and also a little wiser-or so » • we thought ... At least w were becomi ng more and more a part of N.H.S.

As the end of our high school career draws near, we find that instead of feeling big and capable, we are once more small and wondering. When we part in June, we know that many of us will never see again the faces we have come to know and love; but mem¬ ories endure . . . Regardless of what the future may hold for us, we know that we will always have these moments to remember.
