THE FACULTY Before passing forever from the halls of Nappanee High School the class of 1938 wishes to pause to pay tribute to, and to acknowledge our debts to the faculty of this school. We stop in the hurry and hustle, the mad rush of our last year in school and submit our vote of thanks to them. Throughout our four-year sojourn through high school they have given of the best of their talents to us that we might have a belter education, that we might learn to recognize, enjoy, and practise the better things in life. II we, the members of this class of 19.38, fail in these points we will concede that we, ourselves, are at fault. True, it is their life ' s work, it is their job to teach, but we feel that here at Nappanee High School we have as teachers men and women who are not only fitted in a technical way to teach, who are not only efficient instructors in mathematics, science, music, and the various other curricula, but who im- part something else besides these cardinal points. We are able to find that intimate association with the members of the faculty which larger schools cannot do. Each member of the faculty has left his personality indelibly stamped upon some class member, and in after years, when faced by a |)roblem, we will think back and consider how this or that teacher would have faced and solved it. We are proud of our teachers and the class of 1938 salutes you chapeaux has! — PAGE 12 — Burns Van Sickle Three qualities we know he possesses, sense, shortness, and salt, IVave Anglin Tomorrow life is too late: live today, Robert Hochstettler The end must justify the means.

JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY In the fall of 1935 seventy-eight self conscious students entered the mysterious realm of high school as freshmen. The honors of president, vice president, secretary-treasurer, and Student Council Members were given to Carlyle Frederick, Ruby Calbeck, Catherine Mullett, Gwendolyn McCormick and Tilson King respectively. The usual skating party was held in November. In 1936, we returned for more knocks and more fun. Our leaders were president, Glen Slillson; vice president, Arthur Sharp; secretary -treas- urer, Catherine Mullett, and Student Councillors, Tilson King, Carlyle Moore, and Martha Wagner. Mr. Foulke and Miss Hoover guided us. The annual skating party was held February 23. All of us yelled ourselves hoarse at basketball games, because two of our members, Tilson King and Robert Rensberger, were on the varsity squad. Time rolled around until Junior-Senior reception night came. In the kitchen of the church eight boys and eight girls anxiously awaited a sign. At the signal, they burst forth. They were the nervous Sophomore waitresses and waiters. We did very well, but (please don ' t let anyone know) Tilson King spilled pie on Mr. Roose ' s pants. In 1937 there were only 60 of us left. We assumed new responsibilities under the guidance of Miss Blank and Mr. Byers. A weiner roast at Geyer ' s Dam was held October 15, with a record attendance of fifty-five. We are proud to have five members on the varsity team. They are Tilson King, Bob Rensberger, Glen Stillson, James Green and George Price. Donivan Hall was chosen to represent our district at the State Hi-Y Conference. Although it is only February, we are planning for the Junior-Senior reception. It will be hard to rival the reception of last year, but we are sure we shall succeed. M. Miller. PAGE 2S — THE N A P A N E T 1938 MoimmmL n i A iM m ■ - 9 ' ' -at It «A .4 I ZZ ' . ■ . , ' - .

PAGE THE N ' AP A N ET 19 38 THE SOPHOMORES Sponsors .• Miss Shively and Mr. Robbins SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY In the fall of 1936 we, as Freshmen entered Nappanee High School. The taunts and laughter of the upperclassmen soon subsided when they were completely ignored by the Freshmen who were determined to allow nothing to hinder their progress. During the year two skating parties were held at the skating rink under the supervision of our sponsors, Miss Shively and Mr. Dickey. Time marches on! On September 13, 1937, sixty-six dignified Sopho- mores strutted proudly down the aisles of the assembly with an attitude of superiority, for we were starting on the second lap of our high school career, and felt that we now occupied a place of importance in Nappanee High School. Mr. Robbins and Miss Shively served as sponsors and contributed much toward our successful year. DeVon Hall was selected president, David Stalnaker, vice president, and Mary Nola Roose, who has done an excellent job of handling our finan- cial affairs, was retained as secretary-treasurer. Frederick Fletcher, David Coppes, and Robert Arnott were chosen to represent us in the Student Council. Our class party was held in November at the skating rink. We have been well represented in the various school activities with two members composing the affirmative debate team, a great number in the band, and many in the Girl Reserves, Hi-Y and G. A. A. As the year draws to a close we can look back with pleasant memories of the success and pleasure we have enjoyed as Sophomores and we are look- ing forward to even greater success in the future.

FRESHMAN CLASS HISTORY This year marked the start on our trip through high school by way of the good old N. H. S. Airline, the destination being graduation from our senior class. We chose Richard Pippen as our senior pilot to lead us through the first stretch of high school, Robert Stump as our assistant pilot and steward. Our money-holder remained the same, Carolyn Gentzhorn. We stopped off at Geyer ' s Dam one October evening to have a weiner roast and marshmallow bake. After this stop we continued on our way. Our chief pilot says we have another stop in view. We are proud to have four passengers on the second team in basketball. Four of our girls are librarians and a number of our girls belong to G. A. A. and the Jr. Girl Resei-ves. Thirteen passengers belong to the band, and some to the Glee Club. Part of our honor for this first trip belongs to Miss Kivett and Mr. Best, our sponsors. All aboard! We, the class of ' 41 are off for three more years of our trip before arriving at our destination.

PAGE 33 — ,,,, THE NAPANET 1 938 EIGHTH GRADE President Robert Geyer Vice President Jean Oyler Secretary-Treasurer Vivian Postma EIGHTH GRADE HISTORY Early in September, in the year 1936, fifty-eight young, budding, geniuses came from near and far to enroll as members of the seventh grade. As was to be expected we had a hard time keeping out of the wrong room. After a rough initiation, which we happily survived, we were finally able to settle down and enjoy ourselves. In November of this year we had a united skating party and in spite of the few bumps it went over, a big success. We had several members on the Junior High basketball team which won all but one game; also we were well represented on the track team. September soon rolled around again and now we were the more digni- fied eighth graders, who could go about their duties with greater confidence than they could in the previous year. Our activities of this year broadened out considerably and we placed several members in the band and on the safety patrol. We also held a sleighing party. We are looking with great anticipation toward our freshman year in high school.

Our activities included a skating party which was enjoyed by each and everyone present. Although there have been many new things to learn, and in spite of the fact that we still have many to learn, we of the seventh grade feel that we have made a good beginning in making our class a credit to the school.

PAGE 37 THE N AP A N E T 19 38 EXTRA CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES To the student with a keen, and alert and wholesome attitude, a course in Nappanee High School means much more than just preparing the studies required of him by the state board of education. It means more than the usual routine of classes from day to day which was the condition existing in former years. Today the student may choose one or more organizations and activities in which he may participate. Tlie value of these extra curricular activities to the student is inesti- mable. It is certain that they create, among other things, leadership. It is in these additional activities that certain pupils become recognized as lead- ers, students who will take and shoulder responsibilities. Also the extra curricular program uncovers talent in various ways. Were it not for the band or glee club, for instance, musical talent would be inhibited and go un- discovered. They contribute to correct mannerisms and Christian character, and develop good social relations as we fellowship together in inter-club so- cial functions. It is through these activities that we are able to put into prac- tise the philosophy of life as taught us by our faculty; for where, in the regu- lar school curriculum, can we learn to match wits as we can on the tennis court or on the debate team? How better can we learn to develop poise, grace, and culture than by practising them in our various activities? Requiring students to have a specified number of extra curricular points before he may graduate is a relatively new idea, but it is hoped that through this medium more students will be encouraged to take part in school activities. j To those students who have given of their best in time and talent, and j who have assumed their full share of responsibility, is due the present high level in every extra curricular activity.

All things must eventually come to an end, but we members of the staff have often wondered if the work on this thirteenth volume of the Napanet would ever be finished. However, at last, after months of denying ourselves, after months of hard work we have completed what is undoubtedly the greatest task our class has yet undertaken. Not all of the work has been fun; neither has all of it been drudgery, but we gain our compensation for our work with the satisfaction gained from the knowledge that we have done our best. We offer this book to you for your approval with every confidence that it will sat- isfy your most exacting requirements.

As the curtains draw to a close for another year of band work, we con- sider ourselves very fortunate in being one of the members and of having such a successful year. During the year there have been many accomplishments achieved. A set of tympani and a bell lyra have been added to the instrumentation of the band and as the highlight of the year, beautiful new uniforms were pur- chased in time for the concert and contest. Through the co-operation and support of the people of the city, school officials. Civic Clubs, by having bake sales, giving concerts, etc., we have seen what has been accomplished. At the district contest, held at Goshen, luck was again with us and we placed in first division of the Class B schools, thus making us eligible for the state contest which was held at Huntington. Several soloists in Junior High and Senior High placed in first division along with our Brass Quartette. Although we have been successful in many ways, we realize that only under the direction of Mr. Busche did we attain with such pleasure these goals. We are wishing the band and its conductor, the best of luck and musi- cianship in the state band contest in the years following. — PAGE 43 — THE N A P A N E T 1938 HIGH SCHOOL CHORUS ■ t i  A -St ' ' mm ' % Wm, %t - ' li ' jgMFBHB M wr mm ma W ' ' ■ ' Bip :«:_ lilJL i ■=;: ' --. 1 „ a, V, Top Row: Anna Culp, Anna Lou Stuckman, Rosemary Roose, Thelma Hahn, Willard Miller, Arthur Sharp, Harold Holaway, Dorothy Hoover, Margaret Mountjoy, Lois Emmert, Margaret Hahn, Eloise Stahly.

To be in the Choir, you have to pass a rigid voice test given by our director, Miss Lantz, which only select voices can pass. There are only twenty-five of the forty members of the Chorus in the A Cappella Choir. Several programs were given by the Mixed Chorus among which were the spring and fall concerts, the program over WTRC, the Baccalaureate and Commencement pro- grams, and several programs in the assembly. Several of our members were sent to sing in the combined chorus at the North Central Indiana Teachers ' Association. Under the capable direction of Miss Lantz, and with the help of our talented ac- companist, Rosemary Roose, the club has been a great success and much pleasure has been derived, in addition to the knowledge gained, from our hard hours of study.

This organiza- tion is affiliated with the state Y. M. C. A. through other local organizations. The purpose of the Hi-Y is to create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and community a high standard of Christian character based on clean living, clean sports, clean speech, and clean scholarship. The meetings are held bi-weekly during the school year. At these meetings, aft- er the business session, a program arranged by the vice president is presented. Other activities of the club are mostly social, such as the annual Father-and-Son Banquet. To become a member of the Hi-Y you must be approved by the advisory board. After due initiations, you become a full-fledged member of a worthwhile organization. Wilfred Ulery. — PAGE 15 THE N A P A N E T 1938 SENIOR GIRL RESERVES Top Row: Elener Hochstetller.

In 1925 the Elkhart Y. W. C. A. organized a Girl Reserve Club here vifith Miss Hazel Dickey as sponsor. Miss Dorothy Smith was her successor and she in turn was succeeded by Mrs. Coppes. Mrs. Swihart was the sponsor in 1936 and Miss Lantz and Miss Kivett are our present sponsors. The club consists of Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors, and meetings are held every two weeks on Tuesday morning. The rough initiation was held October 14 at the school and the serious initiation was held at the school October 25 with Mrs. U. J. Shively as guest speaker. Several parties were held during the year and several joint parties with the Hi-Y were enjoyed. F ' ifteen members and Miss Kivett attended the G. R. Confer- ence on March 19 at the Elkhart Y. W. C. A. The interest and co-operation of the club members and sponsors have made the club an even greater success than ever before.

It was organized in 1925 by Mrs. Georgia Miller Replogle as a branch of the Senior Girl Reserves. Miss Shively is the present advisor. On November 2, 1937 the new members were received into the club through the Recognition Service and one evening during the same month they were given the rough part of the initiation. At Christmas, the Junior Girl Reserves together with the Senior Girl Reserves purchased Christmas baskets. Then on February 14, 1938, the girls had a combined potluck supper and valentine party. Thirty-four members were present and all enjoyed the party immensely. The bi-monthly meetings are usually given by the girls. Sometimes we have a guest speaker. Marilyn Stahly, the chairman of the program committee, and Joan Mellinger, our song leader, have done much to contribute to the success of our meetings. Bennie Sue Blackburn.

This year ' s Student Council entertained the council from Wakarusa, and much of the time at this meeting was spent in discussing the functions of each respective organization. In addition to its routine of making laws, regulations, etc., it maintains the Lost and Found Department, which, as its name indicates, helps to locate articles which have been lost, and return them to their owner. An amendment passed this year states that a new member shall be elected each year as follows: When a class enters the seventh grade they shall elect one mem- ber, who shall be carried from year to year, and hence by the time they were seniors they would have six members on the council. Martha Chamberlin was chairman of the Girls ' Athletic Committee and Junior Dumph was chairman of the program committee. — I ' AGE 48 r THE N AP AN ET 1938 NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY standing: Mr. Abell, Sponsor.

NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY OF SECONDARY SCHOOLS This is the third year for the National Honor Society of Secondary Schols in Nap- panee High School. The Charter was granted to the Nappanee chapter March 25, 1936. Member.ship in this organization is determined by the high school faculty, and is based on character, scholarship, leadership, and service. The membership is limited to fifteen per cent of the Senior class, and five per cent of the Juniors. All the members of last year except Eldon Pipjien and Mary Osborne were lost by graduation. Last fall the membership was increased by the election of the fol- lowing: James Miller, Donnabelle Farrington, and Doris Davidhizar. In January, 19-38 it was again increased by the election of the following: Martha Chamberlin and Marilyn Miller, Seniors; and Gwendolyn McCormick, Catherine Mullett, and Rosemary Roose, Juniors. Thus, the entire membership is composed of seven Seniors, which is fifteen per cent of their class, and three Juniors, which is five per cent of their class. This year the organization took charge of the Concert given by the Indiana Uni- versity Men ' s Glee Club. Although the members have not taken a very active part in school activities as yet, they hope to do more in the future. Mary Osboi ' ne.

The Nappanee High School Debate Club completed its third year of debating under the supervision of Kenneth IVIitchell. At the opening meeting seventeen members were present. Meetings were held each Monday and Wednesday night after school in Mr. Mitchell ' s room. In the first part of December Mr. Mitchell and eleven members of the club attended the Eighth Annual High School Debate Conference held at Purdue University. Follow- ing this trip several members dropped out. Throughout the season practice debates were held at the following schools: Elk- hart, Ft. Wayne, La Porte, and Central of South Bend, where the two teams met several different schools in the state. Also several schools came here, including Riley of South Bend, Warsaw, and Columbia City. On February 5 and 12 the district conference tournaments were held at Wakarusa and Goshen respectively. At Wakarusa we defeated both Goshen and Concord. At Goshen we won over Jefferson but lost to Wakarusa, which eliminated us from thte tourney. Elkhart won first place, Nappanee and Wakarusa tied for second, and Goshen and Middlebury tied for third. Others participating in the tourney were Concord and Jefferson. The final debate teams consisted of: AFFIRMATIVE Betty Phend Jack Byers NEGATIVE Joy Pippen Christine Frederick Anna Culp served as alternate to the affirmative team. The question debated throughout the season was, Resolved, That Indiana should adopt a system of unicameral legislation. — Joy Pippen, Christine Frederick. — PAGE 50 THE N AP AN ET 1938 THE LIBRARY .■ ■H Bal -vBSTtNf_Nce jnHT ■ ' 1 ' ' K r ' .l Ilia : f L • 1 3L. - standing: Frank Yarian, Helen Hamman.

In the school library there are now approximately 2,300 books and twenty weekly and monthly magazines available to the students, both of which cover various interests including those of nature, athletics, science, religion, health, current events, and num- erous others. In order to insure a fair chance for reference work to each student, books for reference reading are placed on the reserve shelf to be used only one hour at a time by any student. The librarians, each who earn extra curricular points, are expected to be familiar with the library and aid those who are not acquainted with it. Other duties include checking in new magazines, keeping a record of all books taken out, cataloging books, and collecting fines on over due books. The fine is one cent a day on general books and five cents an hour on reserve books. A new rule, requiring the student to prepare a written excuse before using the library, has resulted in the eliminatin of the students who used the library only to visit and loaf. The librarians and their supervisor appreciate the fine spirit of cooperation shown by the entire student body during the past year.

James Miller, A ' ilfred Ulery, Ralph Jerles, Everett Gould, Donivan Hall, Mr. Foulke, advisor. The Fi-Kem science club was organized in 1936, largely through the efforts of Mr. Foulke and several students, to encourage and create an interest in chemistry, physics, and other fields of science. Last year ' s members included Hobart Blosser, Gerald Mullett, Burnett Martin, Ernest Fletcher, Harvey Miller, Robert Sharp, Glenora Hall, and Eldon Pippen. To become a member one must have, among other things, an average of B or above in both grades and citizenship, and must have studied some science for at least one year. Meetings are held bi-weekly between the hours of seven and ten in the science room of the school building or at some members home. Programs are given by the club members or some outside speaker is often invited to appear before the club. The activities of this club have been somewhat limited because of the small membership and other contributory factors, but it has taken several trips to points of interest and this year ' s club has laid plans to visit the Field Museum at Chicago. Because of its high entrance requirements and because of the generosity of its sponsor, Mr. Foulke, this club has been quite successful and thoroughly enjoyed by every member. — PAGE 5-J.

There were about 12 members and guests present. We started on Saturday morning and returned Sunday. The time was spent in fishing, swimming, playing ball, and archery. Shortly after school began seven new members were accepted and initiated into the Green Hand degree. To enrich the treasury, the chapter decided to sell candy at noon, to students. When the basketball season arrived, we organized a basketball team to give the members an opportunity to participate in this sport. A local com husking contest was held and prizes were furnished by the Nappanee Business Men ' s Association. A representative of our chapter was sent to the district contest. A pest killing contest was held between New Paris and our chapter. We, the losers, gave a party for them in the high school gym. The annual Father and Son banquet was held on Tuesday night, March 15, 1938, in the agriculture room of the new building. A pot-luck supper was followed by several short talks, and motion pictures. The chapter tested seed corn for the nearby farmers and themselves. The money, above expenses, was placed in the treasury.

On November 16 and 17, the Speech Class, under the direction of Kenneth Mitchell, presented the three-act comedy Bashful Bobby, which was a decided success. Robert Downing, as his nickname indicates, was an extremely bashful high school graduate who went from one extreme to the other when under a hypnotic spell cast by one of his friends. The failure to bring ' Bob out of his trance led to many intriguing situa- tions, but after Madame DuPont, a professional hypnotist, had brought him out of his trance, Bob was able to strike a happy medium between his two extremes.

The patrol system has become a firmly established organization of Nappanee High School since its inception some seven or eight years ago. During this period of time it has done excellent work in safe-guarding the lives of the younger children as they went to and from the school, as is quite stongly evidenced in the fact that not one accident has occurred during the time they have been on duty. Patrol members, chosen from members of the seventh and eighth grades, go on duty at their respective posts each morning, noon, and evening. Frederick Jensen i.s this year ' s supervisor of the patrol. This organization deserves a vote of thanks for their splendid work and every one .should strive to cooperate with it to the fullest extent. — PAGE 56 THE N A P A N E T 193 PEACE What mean we tvhen we speak the ivord? What feel we ivhen it hath been said? Is peace the heart of life itself ; Or speak ive only of the dead? What doth it mean to each of us To be at peace with all we meet? Not just within a group, beloved. But all we meet upon the street. At peace with all both here and yon Nor race or color might we shun, But strive with each act and tongue To further peace that is begun. Might life that brings each setting sun Bring every member of God ' s race A-glow of peace, that penetrates And beams its blessing in each face. The blessing of such peace exists For all, who ' d lay the selfish by And live for others as ourselves. As weeks and months and years go by. — Dorothy Metzler J PAGE 58 THE N AP AN E T 1 938 JUST IMAGINE Pete Moore an honor student. Kenny Miller not in Bremen one night a week.

Ole ' school — Fm ready to leave. Now please don ' t feel hurt or even grieve; There will be others here next year — To take the place of your Seniors dear. We ' ve had our fun. if you can call it such, Although it has not been ver much; We appreciate what youve tried to do, But there are limits to most things, too. When lue were Freshmen and very green. You didn ' t want us heard or even seen. But ive did get a skating party out of you; And that was all, until the year was through. Then we were Sophomores and very smarty. And the same old story, no place for a party. We were looking forivard to the Junior year — When ive, at least, could have some Reception cheer. Hurrah! JFe were Juniors and still you reign. We tried hard to have fun, but it ivas all in vain. Oh! We did have fun at the Reception we gave. To the Seniors, in whose honor we did slave. Now we are Seniors and our school days are o ' er. When Baccalaureates and Commencements come no more. We ' ll envy the others who return in the fall — For you are a good ole ' school after all. Donnabelle Farringtoii — PAGE 61 — i THE N AP AN ET 1938 ,,,,., DIPLOMA HOUR The graduating class of 1938 numbers forty-nine. There are twenty- five boys and twenty-four girls. While much smaller than the classes of 1936 and 1937, still this is the sixth largest class to graduate from N. H. S. During th ' e past fourteen years, 315 boys and 336 girls have graduated from N. H. S. The Valedictorian has been a girl ten times; the Salutatorian has been a girl nine times. Are girls brighter than boys, or do they work ■ harder? . Birthdays. Every month of the year has one or more birthdays. April i with nine is most popular. June with seven birthdays and November with j six are next highest. February and May have two each and August and j December one each. Two graduates celebrate April 9th and two celebrate June 16th. In each instance these students are the same age. One girl was born on April 1st and one boy on Flag Day, June 14th. Two were born in 1918, nine in 1919, thirty-six in 1920, and two in 1921. One of the latter completed her school work in lll years, while the other started to rural school at the age of 5 years and 6 months. The babies of the class arc Marilyn Miller and James Miller. Marilyn, the youngest is 16 years, 11 months and 14 days old today. The average age of the boys is 18 years, 2 months, 12.84 days. The average age of the girls is 18 years, months, 27.42 days. The average age of the girls is 13.42 days greater than last year, but commencement comes 14 days later. The attendance of the class has not been as good as that of some former classes. It is not as good as the class of 1937. Their average attendance was 97.47%. The average attendance for this class is 97.12%. The girls missed an average of 4.48 days each year, while the boys missed an average of 5.85 days each year. A total of 1015 0 days had been missed up to April 6th — 585 1-3 days by the boys; 430 1-6 days by the girls. Those who have missed less than five days during the four years are as follows: Earl Michael, Eldon Pippen and Evelyn Warren perfect attendance; Eloise Miller 1 2-3 days absence; Ruth Nicodemus 2 days; Glennis Gingerich and Kathryn Stably 4 1-6 days each. Of the 49 graduates, one entered Nappanee Schools in 1924, five in 1925, twenty-six in 1926, seven during the past four years, and the other ten attended rural schools until they came to Nappanee H. S. four years ago. Fifty other children entered Nappanee first grade in 1926. Of these, twenty-two dropped out, eighteen moved, five are still in N. H. S. and five are graduating elsewhere. Thirteen of these graduates are classed as rural and thirty-six live in Nappanee. J. A. Abell, Superintendent — PAGE 62 — THE N AP A N E T 19 38 ,,, CALENDAR SEPTEMBER 13.

FUTURE HOME MAKERS Dora Linn entertained twenty members of the F. H. M at her home on October 19, for the purpose of holding a rough initiation. The initiation really was rough, especially when you consider the rough treatment they received the next day. On March 31, Verna Slabaugh was the hostess to the club at a weiner roast. FI-KEM PARTY On March 17, the members of the Fi-Kem Science Club met at the home of Mr. Foulke for a dinner which no member will soon forget.

The Rev. J. Floyd Seelig delivered the main address. GIRL RESERVES The rough initiation was held in the gym on October 14. After a rather spooky trip through the gym, the new members were dismissed with instruc- tions as to what to do the next day, and, 1 might add, they had to do plenty! The serious initiation was held several weeks later with Mrs. U. J. Shively as the guest speaker. A St. Patrick ' s Day Party was held on March 18. After a potluck supper, cootie was played with several prizes being awarded. Also, about fifteen members attended the G. R. Conference at the Elkhart Y. W. C. A., on March 19.

The first several months of the athletic calendar are devoted to the play- ing of tennis matches and baseball games. The conference games of the schedule are arranged by the Northern Indiana High School Athletic Asso- ciation of which Nappanee High School is a member. As winter approaches and sports are forced indoors, interest naturally turns to basketball. This game was first played in the school in 1912 when Mr. Galen Roose, Mr. Harvey Frederick and Mr. Samuel Sharp were among the team members. The first playing floor was what is now known as the Stuckman skating rink, but play was later changed to the new high school gymnasium, and finally to the Community Building. Baseball is played in the spring as well as in the fall and track is added to tlie list of activities. Football was first played about 1906 and 1907; golf was played for one year, but both of these are eliminated from our present schedule of sports. The Girls ' Athletic Association affords an opportunity for girls in the line of physical development, by the playing of such games as, indoor base- ball, basketball, hikes, etc. Noon basketball is played by both girls and boys. This serves as an outlet for those boys who could not qualify for varsity, freshmen or junior high basketball. The spirit of good sportsmanship has been prevalent among the Nap- panee players and fans. We are proud to say that although Nappanee teams have played hard, they have played a clean, fair game.

PAGE 77 — THE N A P A N ET 1938 OUTSTANDING GAMES Nappanee 26 Goshen 27 The old Redskin-Bulldog rivalry was renewed in a fiercely contested game at the Goshen High School gymnasium. After a good first quarter for the Bulldogs, the Redskins settled down and soon narrowed the margin to practically nothing. From this point to about the end of the game the Naps trailed by several points but staged a remarkable rally to send the game in- to an overtime. Nappanee lost the game in the overtime and also lost its tenth game of the season. Nappanee 33 Elkhart 35 On January 28 the Nappanee Community Building was crowded to capacity to see the battle waged between the Nappanee Bulldogs and the rival Elkhart Blue Blazers. In the preliminary game between the Nappanee Pups and the Elkhart Shortfellows, the Pups came out on the short end of the score. This was a tense and exciting game with only one point difference. The Bulldog and Blazer teams were greeted, as they came onto the floor, by mingled boos and cheers. Both teams played inspired ball and the lead changed hands many times. In the closing minutes of the game Elkhart scored to win by a two point margin. After the game was over, the over enthusiastic fans vent their feelings in a slugging fiesta which was settled later and again established a friendly relation between the two schools. Sectional Tourney On March 3, 4, and 5 the teams of Elkhart County competed in the an- nual sectional basketball tournament which was held at Goshen. Thursday evening the Bulldogs advanced to the quarter finals but were put out then by the Goshen Redskins. The Redskins were then beaten by Wakarusa who met Elkhart in the finals. Both Wakarusa and Elkhart brought forth some un- canny basket shooting. It was a very thrilling game and the plucky Waky Indians were finally downed. — PAGE 78 — THE N i P 1 N F T 1 o fi SECOND TEAM BASKETBALL vHSHMMn {- rVHMiHii . ■■IMilP9 ' rT1 ' ' l ' ' l ' ' NVRii!l||| H § .- 4_ — f ' 7 -JByvi LrasB ' ' B c.4 • .--y iicmm MBBHHBBM Hi HHRIi riLjiPBSSSMH M L E ' j BRBI v - ' ' HHHHHHHpil w K B m HHI nSiJHI ■ JpJI ■■ ■f w. f B M M m ■ ■ m m : ■ ► Top Ilow: k Green.

PAGE 79 — THE N AP AN ET 19 38 TENNIS Tennis first became a part of the Nappanee High School sports program in 1923. It was in the Fall of this year that the enthusiasts of this splendid game strode forth to brandish their rackets in the faces of the future Bill Tildens of opposing schools. Our tennis teams have not been very success- ful in the past due to lack of enthusiasm and intelligent practice on the part of the participants, and Nappanee has yet to win a conference title in this sport, although she came quite close this year, winning six out of eight of her matches. To give the players a visible reward for their efforts, and to induce more to engage in this sport, a sweater is given to the player who wins two- thirds of his singles matches; also girls may win points in tennis and thereby earn a letter. The student of the game will find that it is a highly scientific one and new situations constantly present themselves to be mastered by the player. He may be forced to serve, lob, volley, and smash in the space of one point, and if he would defeat his opponent he must employ strategy and tune his wits to a high degree. One of the beauties of the game is that it is almost as well suited for women as it is for men, and hence both can gain the many benefits to be de- rived from participation in the same. It takes you out of doors, and compels you to breathe deeply of fresh, clean air which has been filtered by the rays of the sun. It provides a means of healthful relaxation and gives one the bodily exercise so essential to the person who could possess a vibrant, glow- ing health. It improves one ' s sense of timing and co-ordination and hence contributes to grace and poise. In future years we hope to see more students attracted by tennis, for the friendly ping of a tautly strung racket, and the satisfaction of a well- placed shot, hold a thrill not to be found elsewhere. — PAGE SO r THE N APAN ET 19 38 TENNIS TEAM James Miller, Eldon Pippen.

In the year 1931, Miss Heestand, Miss Heckaman, Mr, Goodrich and Mr. Schuler organized a club for the purpose of giving the high school girls a chance to participate in sports thus enabling them to win monograms. This club was named the Girls ' Athletic Association and was sponsored by the student council. This year the officers of the organization are: Martha Wagner, President; Ethel Mae Gould, Vice President; Elner Hochstettler, Secretary and Treasurer; and sponsor Miss Hoover. There are seven sports: Basketball, Baseball, Volleyball, Track, Tennis, Hiking and Bicycling. In order for a girl to receive her points she must participate in at least four and not more than seven sports. She may also receive points for refereeing, keeping time, keeping score or being a captain. When she has earned 150 points she receives a small (NHS) monogram. After she has her monogram she may buy a six-inch (N) monogram.

During these years he has guided the Nappanee teams, he has made a splendid record for himself and for the school. Not all of his teams were always winning teams but he em- phasized clean play and proper attitude of players more than the mere win- ning of a ball game. We can be proud that we have as a coach a person who instills into his players these vital points of sportsmanship. We of the graduating class sincerely extend our best wishes for still greater success. STUDENT MANAGER Julian Walters The job of a student manager requires much time and labor. His job includes being at practices and games, polishing balls, packing and unpack- ing suits, inflating balls, seeing that players keep training, etc. Julian has been trainer for two years and has handled this job capably. CHEER LEADERS Loyal Burkholder and Carlyle Frederick Loyal and Curly have faithfully followed the team and led the cheering for N.H.S. They put forth their best efforts and created several new yells. They did much to arouse the school spirit and keep the fans at the peak of excitement. The school appreciate the time given by these two students to keep that old spirit active. — PAGE 86 — THE N A P A N E T 19 38 Red Stalnaker: Are you fond of in- door sports?
