genial: P 1950 --8 lllfll. is vacationing in Miami at the present time. Although Marilyn is now Mrs. Robert Mitchell. this fact doesn't keep her from being the number I sweetheart of the millionaire playboy DAVID CUP- l'l'iS. the idol of all American women. lt is rumored that she has been in constant consultation with her lawyer Wll.l.AllD lVlll.l.l'lll. obviously on the subject of gaining her fredom from Mr llvlitchell. llill always was a good hand at settling dilliculties between students at NHS. Hereis hoping he can handle this affair properly. Among other leading personalities in Florida's social life. we discover that FHFD Pl,li'l'Cll Flt and his orchestra is very much in demand. Featured with this musical unit are l3lf'llTY tiAl.l.AY- Dlilt and lX'll'llll,lf lll'll'lD. famous dancing team of stage and screen. lVlAll,lOllll'l MARTIN and her singing saxophone are also included in llletcheris personality parade. The colorful whirl of life here becomes monotonous after a short time. and we find our thoughts drifting back to the Middlewest and Nappanee. It is with delightful expectancy that we again take up our travels-the next stop being our own beloved home town. Here we are certain to find many familiar places and faces. Upon a visit to our old meeting place. the Hex, we find that it is now under the capable management of' HAROLD HOLAWAY. He ought to know all about it as he used to spend most of his spare time there. FRICDONNA RICE is his .chief soda-jerker. and this combi- nation has served to attract many beauty-seeking young men and women to pause for refreshment at the llex. We are able to learn the whereabouts of several of our old classmates from the idlers and gossipers congregated here. JACK llYl'lliS. who used to be known to his fellow students as l'finstein ,lr. . is now llrofiessor of Mathematics at Purdue University. He recently was credited with a great mathematical discovery in the form of proof of the trisection of an angle. llUl3l'iHT Cl.l'lVl'iLAND and HAY DEAN have joined the U. S. Navy, and are now China-bound. llll,l. UUNSFH. we learn. has taken over the management of Ringling llros. Circus. and he himself' is featured as the fat man. Failing to gain further information at the Hex. let us go on a sight-seeing tour of Nappanee. and see how many of our classmates we can find who were contented to stay in their own back yard. Nappanee has grown to become a thriving metropolis. and now boasts of one QKHFI I lg gn tl'M lylyyx tlgpjllllpj SHI-QlQ'1'S YERNA SIAB-KUGH D.-XYID STALNKKIHIIR l.X'tItlt Sltbll 'VIXRX Tl-ll'1Tl-IR ROBERT XNEYGXND FRANK YARI.-KN tj,tRI.Yl.l1 N10

Swan Pwphwf 1950 --e of the finest business districts in Northern Indiana. RICHARD BEST, following the family profession, has taken over Bestis Meat Market. A new brick building, designed by RALPH HOLLAR, a noted architect, has re- placed the old frame one which used to house the market. A new business has been established in the form of an escort bureau, owned and operated by FRANCIS HERR, who has overcome his shyness where ladies are concerned, and now makes it his business to cheer lonely hearts. ROBERT ARNOTT has advanced from a shoe-shine boy to become proprietor of a large shoe store. ln order to keep the United Brethren parsonage in the family, ALONZO NICODEMUS has taken up the ministry and now fills the pulpit formerly occupied by his father. Of course every minister needs a companion to aid him in his work, and it isn't hard to guess that Lonnie has chosen MARY FIELD as his life-long assistant. Among other successful homemakers in Nappanee, we find LOIS HAHN, HELEN HARTER, LOUISE GEYER, RUTH ANN MILLER, and VELMA DAVIS. WESLEY PRISER, who is helping Lois to be a successful housewife, has just opened a new bakery. Wes decided that it was time Huffmans had some compe- tition. After bowling a few games at CARLYLE MOORE'S bowling alley, we at last turn our attention to the city schools. Naturally, we can not expect all our teachers, efforts to be wasted, so we are certain to find some who have followed in their footsteps. As would be expected, MARY NOLA ROOSE has taken over the kindergarten department. and from all appearances, she is finding that teaching isnit always an ideal occupation. Evidently, Superintendent GEORGE REHRER hasn't taught his small son proper behavior, for he seems to be the center of a great deal of commotion in Miss Roose's kindergarten. LOIS EMMERT has replaced Miss Lantz as head of the music department, and as we spy on one of her classes, we find her not too gently pulling a little boyis hair in an effort to help him reach the top of the scale. CORA- BELLE SHAUM is putting her knowledge of cooking. sewing. and other household arts to practical use as head of the Home Economics department. PAUL MOYER is the gentleman you see pushing the broom around. He's the new janitor. FRANK YARIAN, after having TWENTY-TWO been Coach Best's right-hand man during his senior year, has finally advanced to the posi- tion of chief of the NHS coaching staff. Upon making a tour of the surrounding country, we find DELBERT MELLINGER plowing his fields and planting his spring crops. He is well known hereabouts as the typical American farmer. JOY I-IOFFER, who choses to spend her life as a spinster, is owner of a large dairy farm south of town. Out Etna Green way, we discover that HAR- RIET FOGEL has settled down to the Grimm life of a farmer's wife. Having covered Nappanee and vicinity very thoroughly, we say au revoirw to our friends, and continue our See America Firsti' tour in the windy city of Chicago. The base- ball fans here are all extremely enthusiastic over the Cub's latest discovery,---a sensational new pitcher. Anxious to see him in action, we decide to take the afternoon off and see a ball game. When the shower of confetti, pop bottles, etc. was cleared away, imagine our surprise to see LAMAR STOUDER walk calmly out to the mound. His ability to pitch didn't end upon graduating from NHS. VERNA SLABAUGH is the idol of all Chicago socialities. She is the proprietor of a very exclusive fashion shop, and her cre- ations are the ideal costumes. MARIALYCE SEELIG and LOIS MUNTZ are the young ladies who model for Miss Slabaugh. DONA- BELLE SHEETS, KATHRYN BERKEYPILE, and MARJORIE CORWIN are all members of the WLS National Barn Dance crew, and are becoming famous as the 3 little maids, the original trio having left the show. DOROTHY HOLDERMAN has also gained fame via the radio. She is the nation's leading lady news commentator. A Even Hollywood has gained something from the NHS Class of '40. The latest glam- our boy to stir the hearts of feminine movie- goers is none other than 'CHARLES N. PLETCHER. His new leading lady, who has the male movie fans agog is the beautiful GLORIA DEVAUX. Hollywood rumors say wedding bells will ring soon for these two famous stars. Our journey is nearing its end. We have found that fortune has smiled on the Class of 940, bringing each member success and happi- ness. May their success be lasting and their happiness complete. Here's to the Clas of '4-O! --Betty Phend.
