Notre Dame High School - Crown Yearbook (Portsmouth, OH)

FOREWORD All the world's a stage And all the men and women merely players. They have their exits and their entrancesg And one man in his time plays many parts . . . Notre Dame High School sets the stage for one phase of the lives of its students. The students themselves play many parts - scholar, actor, athlete, and socialite. For this reason the Crown staff has chosen to portray the school year as a drama. The raising of the curtain on Act One in September finds the Catholic students of this area, united under the name of Notre Dame, eagerly anticipating January, Act Two, and their entrance into the new Notre Dame High School. With the beginning of Notre Dame, Catholic education begins its second century of existence in Portsmouth. Both the Catholic stu- dents of this area and Catholic education itself are passing through a year of transitiong this fact has provided the title for our real-life drama. The members of the staff of the first Crown hope to present a true and memorable account of the first year of Notre Dame High School, A YEAR OF TRANSITION. Page Three G33
