The tunes are a little bit off but no one j can do anything about it. For Mugsie likes the hobby of collecting cowboy songs. She's a great dame for arguing. The only trouble is she can't find anyone to argue with. fTough luck, isn't it?l Bid or Butch is the whiz kid in athletics. There isn't a ball game going on but what she's there with bells ong there isn't a girls' game playing but what Bid's participating in it. Bid may be small but take a hint from me, folks, and don't get into any mix-up with her, cause when she wants to be she's the toughest dame on the campus. This gal is our tall slim blonde of the class. Ripping, raring, and ready to go at all times and to any place. If you want some one to talk to just find Cos- tella . She shore knows how to do it and on practically anv subject. Now here's a girl that is hard to find. Unless you know just exactly when she's at school. That is in the mornings. She must like to get up in the morning! Her ice cream cones always go on the cuff at Peppy Frank's . To the rest of us ice cream is just Pink and White . If someone sees a N.l-LS. Senior walk- ing around with a Violin in her hand you don't need to ask who it is. For it is the Seniors' one and only violin player, Miss Lucinda Rickett. Cindy is musical and just adores and cherishes ner violin.

Till the time Rife's bus gets here till the time it leaves shes talking. If it wasn't for her the school would be like a tomb- stone. The Seniors wonder how the school will ever exist next year and the following years to come. This is the happy jiving girl of our class.. And she can make more noise than any other girl in the class. Gus used to play the drums, and just simply loves to pound the poor piano. She wears her fingers and piano keys practically to a frazzle. It's not that we care so much about Gus but it doesn't give the piano a very de- sirable look. Dort is the best dressed pupil of the school. She has been greatly awarded by taking all these pains in being so neatg for she is our 1946 May Queen. But just because she is wearing a crown she haf-1't got her angelic wings sprouted yet f - a circle above her head! Now here is a girl that is not too tall or too fat or snort. But if you ever see a streak of almost any color flying by you'1l know it is Speedy, She is very fast. fHa! Hall Keith is the proud bearer of the title Shortest in the Class. Short but cocky. He loves to spend his time studying and gets results for he is one of the classes A students . just plain Bob or Patton , his favorite pastime is getting out of school as often as he can wangle it, and when in school he just loves to make monkey shines. He is also very popular with the ladies. Duane McBride Ronald Mamula fwtqwn- His favorite and only occupation is Maxine Wells, and he certainly does keep an eye on her. He is well-liked by all his friends. To tall, dark and ------ guy of our class. His proudest possession is that shiny ford that never has a speck on it- -------at least nothing more than mud! Another so called favorite with ladies. - -Gertrude Simon E E i 3 E 2 E s E E E 5 Q 'x 5 4 1 Q 3 l l -----' MM--- - SALUTATORY ADDRESS Parents, teachers, relatives, and. friends: In behalf of the Senior Class of 1946 I welcome you to our graduation exercises. We Wish to extend our heartfelt thanksto you and all others who helped in any Way to bring our high school career to this successful close. Looking back over the years. we remember the many obstacles that blocked our path and realize that without your guidance, counsel, and encouragement this event would never have been a reality, only a wishful dream. Now as we stand on the threshold of the future we think of this evening not only as the climax of years of studying and working, but as the beginning oi our individual search for happiness in the world of tomorrow. With our education as our key to this happiness, with a spirit of optimism as our motto, and with a belief in peace, tolerance, and freedom as our guide, we look to the uncertainties of the future with confidence and enthusiasm. - -Lucinda Rickett 5 5 z E E Z s Z 2 !

The bitter doses of lessons have hastened rather than prolonged our class demise and we know our departure is near at hand. Therefore being so soon to pass - from the scenes of this educational activityg being in possession of alert minds and memories that put the most extensive encyclopedias to shameg having our faculties keenly sharpened by many contests with flinty in- structors, we would publish to you upon this fimereal occasion the last will and testament of the Senior Class of 1946. l To the members of our beloved faculty we leave a large amount of sympathy for their depressing attemps to pound knowledge into our cran- iums. In addition, we bequeath them our regrets that their work with us was so barren of results--we leave them but we do not leave them much! 1 1 I To the junior Class--we leave our seats. Occupy them but do not try to fill them. lll To the Sophomore Class--we leave the right to keep things stirred up remembering a little noise goes a long way. IV To the Freshman Class--we leave the remaining three years to try to find our privileges. V Catherine Bowersock wills her shortness and slimness to Maxine Wells. Ronald Mamula wills his gift of gab to Lyle Robinson fincluding all that sweet-talk and those lines--.D 4 1 i 1 i N 1 W 1 W 4 1 i N 1 l Z i E I 5 Z K E E P i a I E A i K , S l Q I Q K .

Rita Kostecki wills the right to love, cherish, and swoon over Van johnson to Anna Lena Rickett. Vernon Keith bequeaths the right to be the shortest and smartest in the class to Carl Phillips. Guinevere Smith wills her love for the Navy to Virginia Phillips. Robert Patton leaves all his trick. cracks, gags and the right to monkey-shine to his brother, Bill, who is rated second-best monkey-shiner jean Kramer bequeaths the right to come to school just half a day to anyone who possesses enough talent to make this possible. Lucinda Rickett leaves the right to be the quietest one the class to Roberta Zacharias. Frances Smith leaves the right to flirt with you-know-who to anyone that have the nerve. Dorthy Starr wills her blonde locks to Dorothy Fultz. Shirley Biddinger wills all her valuable jewelry to janet Edwards. Duane McBride wills his ability to be a set-shot expert to Ellsworth Bair. Margaret Akers wills her right to wear plaid-shirts and overalls to Doris Phillips. This our Last 'Vill and Testament, we hold as our last wishes to be administered duly so.

Then on August 31, 1942, a very historic event took place, when seventeen green members started their high school career. During the gap in the eight years, we lost and gained manv members. The most important event was th e Freshrnen initiation, and we so learned the ropes that enabled us to go toward our final goal. The year went very fast and we were enjoying a much earned vac- ation. It came to a close, very soon and we discovered we were Soph- omores. During this year we enjoyed many parties, and ordered our class rings. School closed again and we were one year nearer our destination. At the beginning of the junior year we looked forward to hard work and good times. One of our first duties was to give our junior Class Play, Oh Promise Me! ln the spring the junior and Senior Banquet was held at the Cottage Restaurant in Ashland. The table was decorated in blue and gold and minature boats. This was. to represent the Navy. After the dinner we all went to the show. This was enjoyed by all. We received our class rings and this gave us more enthusiasm to finish the year. School closed in May and we looked forward with great expectations to being Seniors at last. The pioneers of our class are Vernon Keith, Duane McBride, Lucinda Rickett, Gertrude Simon, Frances Smith and Dorthy Starr. These are the ones that have gone all twelve years at Nova High. We were fortunate enough to gain Robert Patton in the second grade. Two more members were added to our class in the third grade. They were Margaret Akers and Shirley Biddinger. As we were climbing the stairs we found three new members-to join us in the seventh grade. They were jean Kramer, Ronald Mamula, and Guinevere Smith. At the end of our Junior year we had thirteen members. but as we entered our Senior year we had gained Rita Kostecki. We were sorry to have lost Catherine Bowersock. All of the Senior Class are mixed Chorus members, and all the boys received honorable mention in basketball and base ball. Some of the girls have participated in kitty ball and volleyball for the last four years N E I , 1 5, I , x 1 - ----naw!ew,lmA,4a- - Dorthy Starr has received the honor of being our 194-6 May Queen. We have selected The Nutt Family as our Senior Class Play which was presented March 29, 1946. For the Senior year we elected the following class officers: President, Duane McBride 3 Vice President, Ronald Mamulag Secretary Shirley Biddingerg Treasurer Guinevere Smithg News Reporter, Vernon Keithg Class Sponsor. Mr. Moore. We have now finished our school years, and we are just another class from N.H.S. We will probably be forgotten by her in the years to come but we shall always remember our school days and our teachers who guided us so carefully for the past twelve years. --Frances Smith 1 1 F ...g..m.......' -- SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY April 25, 1950 New York. N. Y. Dear Diarv, Well, it has been four years since thirteen happy-go-1ucky-big- shots left N.H.S. to do their bit for society. Since that time I have seen only three members of my graduating class. Last New Year's Eve. I was to a party with my spouse, and I noticed a group of ladies huddled around someone. All of a sudden I got a look at this someone and found to my surprise that it was Bob Patton. Later I talked with Bob and he informed me he isan. instruct:- or in Agriculture at one of New York's most progressive schools.. Sunday, as I was dining at the Waldorf Astoris a tall blonde walk- ed up to me and spoke my name. I looked at her for a mornent and suddenly realized it was none other than Rita Kostecki. She sat down and proceeded to tell me all about herself. I was glad to learn that Rita had finally reached her life-long ambition, an actress. She said she was in New York for a rest. While we were talking the lights were dimmed and the orchestra began playing a smooth dreamy tune. We settled back comfortably in our seats, looked toward the stage and were amazed to see Lucinda Rickett standing by the mike with her be- loved violin. She has won world-wide recognition as Lucinda and Her Magic Violin. Later we went backstage and had a chat with Lucy. She is happily married and has two children. April 25, 1951 Dear Diary, e Itmeenorie year since I've fvritten you anything concerning our class but I have been as busy as a beel My husband inherited a ranch here in Oklahoma and there is so muchlto do. I received a telephone call yesterday from another classmate--- the former Margaret Akers. She would not disclose her new name. I understand she is married but she would not talk on the subject. She told me she has become an instructor of gymnastics at the Y.W.C.A. We had a luncheon date the following day and she told me Catherine Bowersock has written her aletter announcing her marriage: Catherine surely fooled our class. We expected that to happen long ago but one never knows. Margaret couldn't remember the name of the husband- to-be. i This afternoon my doorbell rang and who should be standing there but Admiral and Mrs. McBride and their freckle-faced Apprentice ----- - seamen. I asked them in and we proceeded to talk over old times. Guinevere informed me she had become a licensed beauty-operator since graduation. May 24-, 1951 Dear Diary, Well, five years ago today a very important thing happened in the lives of thirteen members of N.H.S. How time flies! Tonight my husband and I decided to have lunch at some secluded place. We took a taxi and to my surprise I found the driver to be none other than Vernon Keith. He told me he had been in the air corps for three years but decided to give it up and concentrate on something else for his career. He advised some eating place he knew about and said I was in for a surprise. He drove up to the corner of Spring and Suxnmer Street and we invited him in to eat with us but he declined, saying he had other plans. The name of the Restaurant was Gertie's Place. We walked into a seemingly quiet place. After we were seated I heard someone running and calling me by my old nick-name. I glanced up and found the head waitress to be none other than Gertrude Simon. She slipped away and promised me a surprise. I certainly was surprised too, for when she came back who should be with her but another classmate, Jean Kramer. jean is Gertrude's assistant manager. She informed me she was married and is very happy. She left shortly, promising to visit us soon. Gertrude said they were planning on setting up a larger business together. We left but not until Gertrude promised us she would visit us. Before we parted she happily announced her plans for marriage. I certainly had had enough surprises for one day. May 25, 1951 Dear Diary. I thought I would get to sleep this morning but I was awakened by the door bell. Who should be standing there but a fuller-brush salesman. I thought he looked familiar and then he spoke. It was none other than Ronald Mamula. It seems that he ran away with his father's money and no one would hire him so he decided to sell Fiiller appliances since he could always woo and win the women. I thought he looked like he had been his own cook for awhile so l asked him to stay for dinner. All morning long we thrashed out the class of 1946. It seems that Ronald ran into Frances Smith on the street in Wisconsin. She is a little dairy-maid now and she loves her work. Ronald says she was married to a boxer but he got clipped so she is enjoying her freedom. She has a set of twins-fgirlsj 1 1 ----- ' MM- - Ronald left after dinner so I went back to bed, The telephone rang and who should it be but Dorthy Starr. Isn't it funny how these old classmates can remember what time I have my meals? Dorthy had just a few hours between trains and was coming over. She arrived just in time to eat and then we chatted as we did the dishes. Dorthy is working in the movies as a bathing -beauty and she really wows them. She said she had no intentions of getting married for awhile. Movies, was decidedly her career. She looked fine and said she was on her way to her summer resort where she was going to have a movie party for Van and some of her friends. After Dorthy left I went down town and did some shopping. june 10, 1951 Dear Diary, Today, being our third wedding anniversary, my husband and I dinned at Hotel Ritz, We went dancing after eating and ran into another old classmate, Duane McBride and wife. We secured a table and had a good talk. He told me he was living in a near-by town and had become business manager of a large firm. We agreed to visit them the following Sunday. Having discovered the whereabouts of all my old schoolmates of, N.H.S. I can settle down to some real living. - - Shirley Biddinger ri 'A ,I J i S 5 H E 5 E Q! w 2 2 5. e 3 E E 5 1 : !

All of our class participates in the activities of the school. One of our boys is on the varsity basketball team. Two of the other boys are substitutes on the reserve team. We are also active in the music department with one in orchestra, eleven in Mixed Chorus, all eight of the girls in Girls' Glee and one boy in Boys' Glee. Two boys in our class are in the F. F. A.
