World War II Veterans come to NCHS for Memorial Day assembly

For those students who have watched the new HBO mini-series The Pacific, the characters and the violent battles of World War II are graphic and realistic. But even more vivid are the stories of the men who actually served in those campaigns, more than a hundred of whom will be coming here tomorrow, Thursday, May 27, for the annual pre-Memorial Day veterans assembly.

The assembly will run from 10:30-12:30, but according to Social Studies Department Chair Richard Webb, it may run a little longer. “This is probably going to the longest assembly yet, so we may be excusing kids from 10-1,” Mr. Webb said.

On Thursday, May 20, Ramstock, the annual battle of the bands, took place in the lounge as students came together to perform all types of music.

This year’s winner, Ballet for Athletes, won a $350 cash prize for their performance. Its members are juniors Lexi Bodick, Bridgette Lemoine, Sean Peterson, Ryan Timberlake, and Nick Zanca.“Ramstock was great, the turn out was surprisingly very big. All the bands really rocked it,” Ryan said. “We’re hopefully going to put our earnings into saving up for recording purposes.”
