We were the largest class of freshmen to enroll at NCHS since 1948. We blundered through our first day at school, elected our class officers, enjoyed our first hayrack ride, watched our first football game, and worried about our first grade cards. We soon be- came known as an ambitious, talented and lively group of students. As the year passed we took our places on the Ad- visory Council, and honor roll. We took part in Hi-Y, Y-Teens, athletics, FFA and FHA, band and glee clubs We hope to become in the next three years one of the best classes ever to enroll in NCHS.

It was this organization, con- sisting of representatives from every group in school, that elected the Blue Janes and cheer- leaders, recommended vacations, awarded letters and supervised school parties and mixers. which included a turn-about party for Sadie Hawkins day. The council also conducted campaigns for improve ments of many things around NCHS, such as the sportsmanship of students and adults at sports events. Under the sponsorship of the Advisory Council, the various school organizations put up yard decorations for the Thanksgiving football game with Oberlin. A HEAVY SNOW at Thanksgiving time did not dampen the spirits of Bluejay boosters, most of whom put up their yard decorations x '92 anyway.

Finding the mechanical advan- tage of a second-class lever in Mr. Travis' physics class, figuring the time a bus arrives in New York after leaving St. Louis at 10:30 in Miss Smika's general math class, or finding the size of angleAin Miss Norris classes give reasons for burning midnight oil. Playing with a steam en- gine in general science, dissecting a grasshopper in biology, and dodging that unexpected explosion in chemistry give thrills to Mr. Ward's classes, too.

In literature new fields of interest were opened to readers through textbook stories, library books, and books ordered through the Teen-Age Book club.

When bookkeeping students first began crediting the debtor, when typing stu- dents started finger exercises like asdfg1kj, and the would-be stenographers were learning the dif- ference between the A circle and the E circle, a working knowledge of commercial subjects seemed beyond reach. But arter a year of learning and doing, even business transactions studied by junior business and commercial law students, as well as bookkeeping, typing and steno practices, became almost easy.

COONS MOTOR COURT The sophomores, having survived all the gags about locker fees and other practical jokes they ex- perienced as freshmen, were busy taking part in school activities and conducting some of their own on the side. They bumped over the roads near Norton one night in two hayracks pulled by tractors for their first-semester party. The geometry class, composed of practically all sophomores, made designs for the windows and doors of the building at Christmas time, thus following a sophomore tradition. Another holi- day event was a dance at the Silvaire, sponsored by several sophomores. Serving at the Junior-Senior Banquet was a big moment for some of the class. The sophomores were well represented in music, athletics, and clubs. Busy as they were, they were looking forward to the time when, as juniors, they might assert their importance to a greater degree than before.

One unusual factor was the num- ber of brothers on the team. At almost every match one could see two Wyatts, two Whitfords, and three Kents. The Bluejays finished sixth in the regional and seventh in the league tour- naments. The Jays had four entries in state competition. They were Raymond Hewett, who finished fourth, Clair Wyatt, Ronald Lemon, and Eddie Kent. Out of the fourteen lettermen eleven will return next year.

Even without much hay on the rack, nearly every junior enjoyed a never-to-be-forgotten night. 7- The juniors' biggest problem this year was to raise money for the traditional Junior-Senior Banquet. ln October they hadacarni- val with several new and popular booths, which boosted the budget. A The photo booth, the jail house, and the country store proved especially popular. ln December the juniors presented Let Me Out of Here, a three-act farce-com- edy with an energetic cast of ten. wp Being a junior may sound like all fun, but the class did crack a book now and then, maybe before the six weeks tests.
