Editor: This annual is called “Our Scuoot”’ It was written by the “QuiLv” staff of 1942—produced by the Oakland National Engraving Company—directed by Dorothy Austin and Miss Ruth Kearney. In it you will see our students and faculty members and a few of our alumni. Our annual shows the daily life of our school, Nevada City High.. (Students arrive at school in yellow buses, on bicycles, and in jalopies) The day is May 25, 1942; the time is 8:15 war time. Well, I’d better show you where our school lies.. We're on Zion Street . . Over there about three blocks I can see the gray station of our old Nevada County Narrow Guage Railway—established here in 1876 . . . Thought I’d tell you about it because it’s going out of business this year . . . Townsfolk are kinda’ sorry to sce it go.. They used to ride the old cattle cars to Chicago Park, where picnics and celebrations were held . . . Passengers used to hop on and off the cars to pick flowers along the way to Colfax. Over there, beyond all those buildings, is our courthouse .. A modern three-story, blueand-white structure . . . It has the only elevator in town.. All the court business of Nevada County is carried on here. Over there and down the hill, spanning Deer Creek, is the Gault Bridge .. A lot of our students know it well from walking over it in the early morning iciness . . The situation is even worse now in war time.. Thought I’d mention the creek because our town was called Deer Creek Diggings way back in the early days ’round 1849-1850. -4-. OUR AN ANNUAL IN —_—.
