(Class ijaslnry LUCILB YAKIAN This is a history of a very exceptional class; it must begin as all other histories should, viz., In the beginning. So in September of the year 1910 we came thirty-seven strong. Those Freshmen best known have come up with us from the grades; the other type, proverbially connected with the grass or new-mown hay, have come in from the country. What to do with us, no one knew! Everyone called us green. But don’t laugh at Freshmen! We knew our place as Freshmen and when in the presence of our Elders we were usually meek, quiet and humble. One day we decided to organize, but our watchful Shepherd, ill-. Duker, heard the decision and at once checked it. Then came the end of the first year: with our cards in our pockets we strode off home like conquerors from a field of battle. Sophs? Yes, nor did we fail to tell anybody. Come back, did we? Well, yes, that is. part of us did. Others, however, thought it their duty to remain at home and help their dads weed the gardens. The parents of others became alarmed at the rapid learning of their childrn and feared that another year would burst their heads; yet others though another year would burst their bank account, so they provided against disaster. One boy a preachers son, ran away and joined the navy. What did we amount to as Sophs? We beat all otherSophomore records, •lust step into our first class meeting. Quiet did we say? Nay! We have always been much blessed with the gift of class spirit, and this was greatly developed by our First President, who only served one year and is long since “gone but not forgotten”. Ask about our pranks all you will, but don’t ask us to tell too much till we get our diplomas neatly tucked up under our arms. When we returned the next autumn they wrote across our cards the word “Junior,” which is a word meaning ‘peace.’ To say more on this subject would be giving away secrets and ’tis not best. It was during this year that we gave the Senior Reception. The Committee on Eats and Stunts covered themselves with glory. Experience alone, better even than the Historian, can tell you the joys of the Junior year. Let vis now turn to our most important of all years, the Senior year. Although twenty-two have left us since we started, the remainder are doing double duty. We are giving two plays, “Farm Folks” and “The Deacon,” and publishing an annual. We bear the distinction of being the first class of the Nappanee High Schools to graduate in caps and gowns. In closing our eventful History, we must say farewell to X. II. S. forever,—a word that makes us linger; yet, Farewell. f

Class 8 mtg URSIK 91 LB ERG Music by Frank J. Allen The noblest class of N. H. S., Best that she could e’er possess, Fifteen girls and boys before you stand. Who’ve gone through school all tiie way, Obeyed the rules they all will say, What else, may we ask, could you demand? CHORUS O class ’14, of you we proudly, proudly sing, Let our hearts sing and our voices ring, Of all the highest classes you are king; Thy memory e’er will cling. Class ’14! O glorious class ’14! Best class anyone has ever seen, Ash and Old Rose are your colors good and true, O we will always hold fast to you. Now we start out, fortli to work, Ne’er our duty will we shirk: We’ll start out to tight our battles now. Farewell then we leave you here: We have nothing much to fear, If we do the best that we know how.
