NAPPAXEE SCHOOLS EVA STRAUSS Eva is a very stiulio.ii sgirl who lias reached the lop notch in German and cooking. She is one of our country students who shows her faithfulness by walking to and lrom school every day. She is very independent And she just delights to cook; Most times she’s reading German Out of a little pink-red book. WILBUR WELTY Wilbur is guard on the Basket-ball team and a professional checker-player. He prov s his good intentions toward the ladies by letting them strictly alone—in Nappanee, but—New Paris? At times he is so bashful lie don’t know what to do; But when it isn’t school hours, Why—he can sure talk too. IN MEMORIAM Esther Slabaugh BORN AUGUST 3, ISOO DIED FEBRUARY 10.1010 Lane Seventeen

TH E TIGER BEULAH SHAUM Beulah’s spare moments have nearly all been taken up driving back and forth to school, and yet she has found time to attend almost all of the High School functions. Quiet, retiring and unobtrusive, this little maid keeps pegging away and—gets there. You never, never see her But what she wears a smile, She carries it along with her O’er many and many a mile. MARVIN HUFF 1 im ’, our class sport, is fond of sleeping in class and aspires to be a great educator, lias his future planned, Having eyes for no other girl. He’s always found somewhere in town, But his home is on the farm— Now don’t begin to be alarmed— For Marvin does no harm. HILDA EVANS Kind and sympathetic, Hilda has had her share of misfortunes. Her favorite subjects are English and Art. She will be remembered in the annals of the class as having given a Hallowe’en party which brightened the career of class ’17. She works and works the whole day long; She never could be still, She’s quite unlike the rest of us, Who try the time to kill. Page Sixteen
