Description

The 1943 yearbook of Nelson Merry High School is dedicated to the principal, N. A. Crippens. It begins with a foreword and pictures of the city and Thompson Hall. Contents include pictures of staff, faculty, classes, activities, athletics, features, and advertisers. The yearbook also contains a class history, the senior class will, predictions for the future, and a school calendar. The filler pictures were colored by Ms. Taliaferro, who said they could only find white pictures and she wanted the yearbook to be more representative of the people in it.
