' PUU Sl ClaM President James Carl Miller Vice President John Regenos Secretary and Treasurer Jane McFall Like a great musician easing into the last movement of a symphony we, the class of 1943, are nearing the end of our school days. For this year we selected James Carl Miller for our conductor with John Regenos as assistant conductor. We were given two very competent instructors this year, Miss Barnard and Mr. Busche. When we entered Nappanee High as freshmen we had 81 members but that membership has dwindled to 65. Our members participate in basketball, chorus, band, Hi-Y, G. R., G. A. A., and many other activities. The Junior-Senior Reception is the major chord of the finale for this year. — Jane McFall
