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.

(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

JJmpbrry nf (£lass nf 1914 BERNICE LEHMAN A CLASS REUNION In the little country town ot Xappanee on Commencement day, in the year 1920, there v as unusual stir and activity. The main line of traffic seemed to 1m directed northward toward the venerable weatherbeaten building Known as tin Xappanee High School. There was a question in the minds of the inhabitants of the town concerning what was 4 going on’ at the school. Without a doubt, something was ‘stirring,’ as the words of the first arrival implied. He was a young man of distinguished bearing, with only one defective feature, his long-suffering nose, which, by no means originally inconspicuous, was rendered more noticeable by tin presence of two strips of adhesive plaster which were pasted across his face. The most casual observer would readily discern that his olfactory organ had been broken for the twenty-third time. The subject of these remarks entered the assembly hall and glanced around with a reminiscent air. “Hasn’t changed much in the last six years.” he observed audibly. “I seem to he the first arrival. Quite an idea, having a reunion of old ’14. It is strange, how a class so small as ours can become so widely scattered in the course of a half dozen years. I wonder—why, hello there! If it isn’t old Roose!” he exclaimed, as a large figure ambled leisurely through the door, barely avoiding upsetting a chair which stood close by. “I don’t believe I—well, I’ll be—it’s Berger. And so you got here, did you?” “I certainly am here at any rate. Is the entire class going to be present?” ‘XII but my sister, Madge. You see, she is so busy teaching those heathen in Africa to reform that she couldn’t get here.” “I had heard that she had taken up mission work,” answered Berger, “but. I didn’t know she was still in Africa. The unexpected will happen. I suppose. Who would have thought that your gay, frivolous little sister would turn missionary ?” “It was an awful shock to us all,” the other replied, “but she said she had a call to go. and sin went before we quite caught on what was up. Have you seen anyone belonging to this outfit yet?” “Not a soul but you since I’ve arrived. By tin way, who owns that establishment on Market Street where Mrs. Pettit form- erly had her millinery shop?” “Why. don’t you know? imcile Yarian and ITsie Silberg. They’re confirmed spinsters. They live in rooms over tin store, with no companions but a cat and a parrot They do a pretty good business.” “I see, I came past there this morning. I saw the sign:— Madame Lucile—Dressmaking Madame IIrsuIie—Millinery The names struck me as being familiar, but I was not certain, and so did not stop in Are you still selling fruits and vegetables?” “Yep,” was the complacent response of Roose. “I’m doing pretty well at it. too. I’ve got a horse and wagon now, in which ! peddle truck (‘very Monday. Wednesday and Saturday. Trucking pays if you know how to manage. Say, I got a letter from Forrest Xickler yesterday. He’ll be here today. You konw he’s the president of a select school for young ladies in Boston.” “You don’t say! Well, isn't it tin truth that “Frosty” always enjoyed tin society of the ladies?” “That’s no joke. But he came within an inch of not getting here. You see he has to ‘go some’ as President of a coliege. But in his letter he stated that hi had engaged a private secretary who would relieve him of a part of his work. Who’s that? Why, it’s Frosty and Clayton Weber, and—er—Mario,” he said in a strange whisper, “Here come Mr. and Mrs. Warner.” At this moment, two handsome young men entered the room, followed by a happy-looking couple. There immediately ensued some lively conversation. Every one seemed to speak at once. However, President Xickler, of Boston's Select School for Young Ladies, managed to tell what a famous civil engineer his friend, Clayton Weber, had become and Weber explained as to whom the dignified educator had employed as private secretary To the surprise of the others, it proved to be a member of tin class of '14 Ruth Strycker, whose name had become prominent in the business world. “She s my right-hand man,” said Xickler. “She’s supposed to be here today. Hasn’t she come yet?” “She s coming with her brother,” explained (Jeorge Warner, who with his wife stood slightly aloof from the others. I suppose you have heard about Ora's up-to-date
