LIFE AT NTHS

For the most part I enjoyed my high school experiences at NTHS. I was very shy for most of my four years. It was difficult (no impossible) for me to call a girl on the phone for a date. It didn't help having our only phone sitting in the family room where my parents and sister generally congregated. I remember an incident when Nancy Overton was passing me in the hallway and playfully poked me in the stomach, unfortunately her spiral notebook caught in my sweater and I turned several shades of red as it seemed the whole student body noticed. Well I'm not shy any more. Chuck Worthington, one of my best friends, may he rest in peace, and Emil Lazar, my other best friend, were instrumental in helping me cope with everyday school life. Senior year we formed the India Plaid Society. It was a small group, the 3 of us and Bruce Hirte, and for a while an unnamed photographer for the Nilehilite until we found out that he couldn't get us in the paper. In looking back teenagers could be mean and I hope I didn't cause anyone to feel bad. If I did I am sorry. I am making it a mission to contact as many of you as possible, either by phone or e-mail. So far I have talked to Fred Denkman, Ira Berger, Mike Rothholtz, Harvey Brown, Rod Bartels, Bob Feinberg, Ron Hauser, Marshall Claassen, Walt Olson, Bruce Mau, Dick Rehwaldt, Bev Duffey, Steve Elkins, Gari-Sue Greene and several others through e-mail conversations. After browsing through the directory if you know of anyone please contact them and let them know about this website so that we can continue to add e-mail addresses. This will be your part in helping to bring us all together again. Keith
