At the opening of the junior year. the XYildcats found themselves in many organizations and other activities. Helen O'Dell and Barbara Sullivan represented our class on the Fall Homecoming court as did Marian Busic at the XYinter Homecoming. The arrival of Nancy Parsons and Tom Blakemore lengthened the list of little wildcats while the loss of Susan Allison and Don Wells otlset that gain. The long awaited class rings finally arrived and-after the distribution by Martha Hofmann, class secretaryewere proudly displayed to all. Jeanette Homer kept all chemistry students on their toes for she delighted in making mistakes and mixing up a little chemical confusion. Our Junior class play, Three Blind Dates. drew the largest audience ever. Kenny Cole really enjoyed that kissing scene in the second act, for his leading lady was-yes, you guessed it-his fourth grade Hame, Marilyn Rose. One high- light of the year was Wade Barghausen's new car. He now came breezing to school'in this luscious light green convertible while Herman better-late-than-never Jooss still bounced to school in his little red jeep. The sixth period typing class was certainly glad that Betty Sergent was born on a school day. for they celebrated her birthday with cokes for all. At the end of the semester Doris S-haw and Alice Matz were leading in typing, but a few of us re- tarded ones were still hunting and pecking. Herbert Stout talked so much in speech class that we wondered who was the teacher-Mrs. G. or Herbert. To end a great year for honors, Ruthann Stanfield won the hrst prize in the state for her essay on Tuberculosis and was also elected editor of the annual. XYhen the long awaited year came. we discovered that we didn't feel tor actj so grown up after all. Bob Edwards had lettered so many signs and posters. for Mrs. G. that he began to hang them in Senior Alley for public display. Ralph Brehm and John Zimmer were properly confusing both the physics class and its teacher with their theories on everything from .-X to Z. Fall Homecoming was a big success with Queen Joyce Miller reigning majestically over all. Shirley Metcalf ran a taxi for all girls without cars. and Emily Bale made pizza for all those with ltalian blood and big appetites. Judy Lumbatis joined our group from Reynoldsburg and was all the rage with her long curly hair. As the year progressed, Rowlanda Lintner, Phyllis Mann, and Marian Busic became the proud owners of diamond rings while Janet Slack pined away with a serious case of bell-bottom blues. Dennis O'Keefe came out on top again and added to his long list of honors a scholarship from XYittenberg College. A long desired sports record and scrapbook was at last started by sports-reporter, Larry Rood. The vocal chords of three local lovelies were being exercised to form a Senior Trio of Erna Lund, Jennie Sprague, and Emily Bale. The walls of the halls and rooms became sparkling clean as Ralph Smith with his twin buckets worked during free periods and after school under the close super- vision of Mr. Scarfpin. XVinter Homecoming, the Senior Class play and the junior-Senior Banquet and Prom brought to a close this wonderful year. Now there was only one more step to go - Graduation. As each little XVildcat marched across the platform to receive his diploma, parents, relatives. and teachers had to admit that these young ladies and gentlemen were quite a bit tamer than they had been six years previous. Extra! Extra! T. V. Bancroft completes 18th year at NYHS . . . l.ittle lllildcats of '54 receive diplomas . . . Extra! Extra! -Terri and Barb.
