NAPPANEE HIGH QCHOOL NAPPANEE, INDIANA VOLUME XXXIX PROUD TO BE . . . FROM NAPPANEE! PROUD AQ CAN BE ... OF OUR STUDIES 4 ACTIVITIES................ 14 ATHLETICS..................32 FRIENDS 46 SCHOOL LIFE................78 Nappanee High School serves as the pride and joy of everyone who has ever been a part of it. This year's students are no exceptions. Why should they be? They have good reasons to be proud of N.H.S.! Compared to other schools its size, Nappanee offers a much wider curric- ulum. Complete programs of study are offered in three different areas: college preparatory, general, and commercial. A student has his choice from approxi- mately sixty-seven classes and nine study areas in which to major. The well-rounded sports and sports booster programs give students a chance to express tangibly their school loyalty and pride. The school sponsors extra- curricular activities which meet the varied interests of everyone and pro- vide opportunities for more fun and education. Planning pep sessions, at- tending holiday dances, feverishly working on prom decorations, and other special occasions round out a year of learning and fun. No wonder the more than six hundred N.H.S. students hold their school in such high esteem. Nappanee High School is something special! Whether cheering the mighty Bulldogs on to victory, work- ing on a class project, singing the school song at a basketball game, or as in teen-age language just messing around, pride of their school is re- flected in the face of every Nappanee student. Who wouldn't feel proud to be . . . from Nappanee ? Skill in English Is Often Key to Success For her demonstration in speech class, Rita Stutzman applies theatrical make-up to Ron Foeckler. Marv Mast and Rebecca Kessens look up material for their literature research papers on eighteenth century England. Since there is a direct relationship between a person's ability to use English well, and his later success, every N.H.S. student takes at least three years of this important subject. Depending on his plans for the future, the student� chooses either practical or college preparatory English. If he chooses practical, the student learns that proper grammar can help him in obtaining a better job, and that skills such as writing a good business letter greatly increase his chances for advancement. During the second semester, the practical English student reads literature chosen to help him under- stand life. College preparatory English teaches the student to express himself correctly and clearly both by regular grammar lessons and by weekly themes on a variety of topics. These classes also receive a thorough background in classics from general literature in the freshman and sophomore year, American literature in the junior year, and English literature in the senior year. In speech class, whether by a formal debate, an informal sales talk, or interpreting lines from a play, juniors and seniors learn to express them- selves orally with increased effectiveness. Carol Berger drills her junior English class on vocabulary words.

Because of the importance of maintaining good foreign relations, learning the language of our neighboring countries is emphasized. Spanish I students learn the basic principles of grammar by translating stories, and they practice elementary dialogues. Besides learning further essentials of grammar, this year the Spanish II classes read an adaptation of Benito Perez Caldos' MARIANELA. The students gained practical experience in interpreting phrases while translating this Spanish novel. Two years of Latin are offered at N.H.S. This year the first year students studied Roman mythology and Greek drama, while also learning of ancient Roman culture. The second year of Latin included a study of Roman history and philosophy. The study of Roman writings also supplemented their year's work. These students were required to have a project depicting life in ancient Rome and two papers covering some area of Roman history. All Latin students became aware of how Roman writings and customs have influenced our English language and literature. Second year Spanish students Ruth Pletcher, Lewis Reed, and Ted Noffsinger examine Mexican handicraft. Tom Creene and Bob Callander prepare Latin II projects for display. NAPPANEE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE c Progress Is Our Project The Language of Science Is Mastered Senior math, students calculate the volumes of conic solids. Mr. Robinson helps geometry student Beth Walters construct a diagram to prove a theorem. Marla Flowers and Randy Wagner complete a graph problem in first-year algebra. Starting with the freshman year, many mathe- matics courses are offered. All freshmen are re- quired to take either general math., which is a course dealing with problems related to everyday life, or algebra, which is the basis for all higher mathematics. Plane geometry is a course taken by many sopho- mores. This interesting course is very important as a foundation for many vocations. Advanced algebra, which is usually taken by juniors, serves not only as a review of algebraic systems, but also digs deeper into new concepts of algebra. Advanced math, gives seniors working toward vocations involving math, a real challenge. Covering trigonometry, analytic geometry, and statistics, this course prepares seniors for further math, in college. The benefits of these courses are immeasurable. Because mathematics is the basic language used in the science and business worlds, it has become very important in our modern society. Science Students Discover Whys and Hows To graduate from Nappanee High School a stu- dent must take one year of science. For the student who wants to gain a knowledge of general science and deal lightly in fundamentals of chemistry- and physics, physical science is offered. Biology is the science of all forms of life. This course, strongly recommended for college bound students, is taken by sophomores. Chemistry, which is alternated annually with physics, was offered this past year. Many experiments and labs were performed, applying newly learned principles. Outside reading in science was encouraged. A large number of juniors and seniors took chemistry, indicating how important advanced science has be- come in our modern world. Mike Stump measures out NaCl for his chemistry lab experiment on the distillation of water. Members of the physical science class study the effects of pressure on a balloon. Mr. Hazelrigg and biology students Sam Brumbaugh, Sharon Blosser, and Kim Hunsberger search for signs of the presence of Thyridop- teryx Ephe merae - formis. JOHNSON'S WALGREEN AGENCY DRUCS 7 J. R. ARNOTT SON Business Courses’ Motto Is Practice!” Mr. Postma checks a teacher's test run off by Patti Pontious. Shorthand girls are reminded that practice makes perfect as Mr. Carter dictates one of many business letters. The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog is a familiar phrase to Typing I student Gcnck Popowzak. Many students who plan to work or attend business school after graduation major in commerce. Sopho- mores in general business study the basic principles of commerce and acquire a business vocabulary. Typing I students, usually juniors, learn to type letters, and to assemble small booklets, manuscripts, and book reports. Junior girls may take shorthand. They learn to take dictation, working for speed and accuracy, and to transcribe their notes. Two business courses are offered for seniors. Bookkeeping students learn the techniques of keep- ing books through projects and problems. They learn how to file income tax returns, a necessity for everyone. In advanced typing and office practice, girls become apprentice secretaries. They in- crease their typing speed by typing for the D'BULLDOG and teachers; operating office ma- chines and learning an office worker's duties, such as indexing cards and filing arc also included in this course. STATE BANK OF NAPPANEE Member of F.D.I.C. Students Widen Their Scope of the World Learning how to fill out a U.S. Individual Income Tax Return is one of the topics of study in the economics classes. Here Sharon Artley helps Randy Best fill out his tax return. No history course is required for sophomores, although world history is an elective and is strongly recommended for college preparatory students. As juniors, students study U.S. history, in which they learn about the building of our nation and the basis of our government, the Constitution. U.S. govern- ment and economics are required courses which seniors find helpful after they graduate. In these courses students study the various levels of govern- ment, legislative procedure, and principles of earn- ing a living. Two courses included in the social studies cur- riculum which help students understand themselves and other people better are psychology and sociology. Psychology is studied the first semester and sociology the second. In each of these courses, students not only study past events, but also current happenings which arc building and shaping our world. Mr. Riley uses a map to illustrate his lecture in U.S. history class. Mr. Gunderman, world history teacher, helps Jim Stillson, LaMar Hochstetler, Susie Pontious, and Linda Harman locate important cities of the world on the globe. 9 STATE BANK OF NAPPANEE Member of F.D.I.C. Shop and Art Develop Students’ Talents Dcnzil Miller and Larry Harman rub down the finish on Dcnzil's step end table. Roger Weaver, Kenton Ervin, and Denny Corl apply their knowledge of building construction in building trades class. WARREN'S Men's and Boys' Wear N.H.S. offers a variety of shop courses. Beginning with basic classes, boys who are interested and who have the ability may continue in advanced work. By completing industrial arts courses, boys may pre- pare for a useful, practical daily life. Mechanical drawing teaches freshmen how to put on paper the geometric forms which will be used in later courses. Basic electricity covers both theory and practical work. These students build electric motors and electro-magnets. In beginning woodworking boys make shelves and magazine racks. Advanced students build desks, tables, and cabinets. Metal and machine shops teach basic metal work- ing skills. The boys learn to weld and to operate a lathe, and advanced classes make things out of metal. Juniors and seniors may take auto mechanics, in which they learn to maintain and repair automobiles. Building trades class members perform tasks such as constructing walls and windows, and laying blocks and floors. Three years of art are offered to enable students to develop and extend their creative abilities. In the first year course students study the basic principles of art and design and learn to apply them in their work. Using media such as ink, tempra paints, charcoal, and colored pencils, the beginning art students sketch outdoor scenery and still life. Ad- vanced art students also work with ceramics, and use water color and oils to paint portraits, scenery, and still life. Ron Klotz and Barney Beer remove the tail pipe from a car in their auto shop class. and Interests During a metal shop class Mr. Con- rad explains to Myron Metzler techniques of handling a lathe, as Terry Reasor turns stock on his lathe. Mechanical drawing student Edgar Pippcngcr works industriously on his drawing. Advanced art student JoAnn Yoder is careful to choose the right colors to compliment her oil paint- ing. Carol Cripe, Barbara Wise, Shirley Fisher, Alan Bil- ler, and Marah Lee Newcomer enjoy sketching the scenery around N.H.S. Compliments of 11 FRANKLIN COACH CO. DR. MRS. W. C.

Margaret Hargrove and Cindy Best prepare a home ec. window display. Home economics courses prepare girls to become efficient cooks, seamstresses, and home managers. Freshman girls study color, design, and cotton, and then apply these factors in making a shirtwaist dress. Second year students study wool and learn to sew and fit a wool skirt. They also have twelve weeks of home nursing, in which they learn to care for a sick person. Another twelve weeks is spent planning menus and preparing meals. Junior and senior girls study housing and home management. They draw floor plans of a good house. They furnish several rooms with rugs, drapes, and furniture, keeping in mind good color combina- tions and furniture styles. Each girl is also required to complete two home projects a year to give her more experience for the future. Mrs. Neff shows Linda Fairchild, Sue Stutz- man, and Velma Miller the proper places in the cupboard for the dishes. NAPPANEE GREENHOUSE Say It with Flowers 12 Safety Rules Are Keys to Good Health Bill Kaufman anxiously awaits the pitch during a phys. ed. class softball game. Mr. Nelson points out the radius bone of the arm to his health class. Dwight Thomas gives Cindy Best instructions on how to back out of her parking space. Health, a required course, deals with the functions of the human body and problems which may affect it. Drivers' training teaches students how to drive safely and with good judgment. Thirty hours must be spent in classroom study and six in actual driving. One credit in physical education is required to graduate. This credit is usually earned during the freshman and sophomore years. Gaining skill in various sports and calisthenics plays an important part in this course. PROUD AS CAN BE ... OF OUR ORGANIZATIONS The twenty-three extra-curricular activities offered at Nappanee High School play an important part in the life of each student. These clubs help stu- dents to explore their interests, make new friends, broaden their knowledge, and prepare for the future. No matter whether the student is a part-time writer, artist, scientist, musician, or a future teacher, homemaker, or farmer, he is proud to belong to an organization which pursues his interests. 14 Choruses Pay Tribute to American Music CONCERT CHOIR.

Under the direction of Miss Winzcler, the vocal music department was divided into two choirs this year, the concert choir and the high scltool choir. The concert choir, consisting of juniors and seniors, was very active all year. A few chosen members took part in the mass chorus at the teachers' convention in October. The entire choir appeared at Christmas time in their annual December con- cert. They also appeared in a May concert when they paid their tribute to American music. The high school cl oir, consisting of freshmen and sophomores, appeared in only the May concert. After performing their own part of the concert, both choirs merged to climax the concert singing American favorites. HIGH SCHOOL CHOIR. FRONT ROW: S. Mctzlcr, S. Hall, C. Myers, S. Dean, D.

STUMPS' TEXACO East on U.S. 6 17 Complete Ignition Carburction Service JIM'S RADIO AND TV Zenith Sales and Service Musicians Set Excellence As Their Goal The varied instrumental organizations give N.H.S. students an opportunity to display their musical talents. The 101 members of the concert band this year formed the largest band the school has ever had. This band showed its musical ability in the Christmas and March concerts. For its biennial trip the band attended a concert given by the Purdue Uni- versity band. Dottie Woodhams, drum majorette, led the band through intricate marching routines during football game half-times. The marching band competed with fourteen other area schools in the Partners-in-Progress marching contest in Mishawaka. A newly organized group made its debut at the March concert. Because it was smaller, this group could play a greater variety of music. The stage band played at two school dances in addition to its concert performance. The pep band provided music for home basketball games and pep sessions. Although the intermediate band, consisting of eighth and ninth graders, appeared in only one concert, it marched in the Veterans' Day parade. The members also displayed their marching ability at a home football game. Majorettes. Dottie Woodhams, Cheryl Mullctt, Cathy Crane, Jackie Pletcher, and Debbie Callander. FRONT ROW: M. Popowzak, L.

Jackie Pletcher, Susie Knobel, Rita Sla- baugh, and Barbara Senff. Work on the NAPANET began in July when the editor planned the dummy, and ended the next June when the last deadline was sent to the printer. It was the business managers' responsibility to secure ads and subscriptions. For each of the five deadlines the editors worked at least seventy-five hours planning and drawing dummy sheets for each page. After the writers turned in their copy, the junior editors typed the dummy pages. Each page was proofread three times, and proofs were also checked three times. All of this work produced a valuable permanent record of 1963-64 life at N.H.S. Business managers. Dave McGrew, Tom Stoops, Ralph Moore, Jeff Coppes, and Denny Cripe. Editor.........

To become a member of the National Honor Society an individual must be selected by a faculty committee. The four factors considered for mem- bership are scholarship, leadership, service, and character. Following the plan of the revised constitution, the times of election were changed. This year elections were held earlier than in past years. In October, 5P o of the senior class and 5P o of the junior class were elected. In March, more members were elected, bringing the total senior membership to 15° o of the class and the junior membership to 1 QP o of their class. Ushering at Civic Theater plays and bringing the National Honor plaques up to date were the tradi- tional projects of the club. This year, with the Student Council, the National Honor Society also completed the project of purchasing an outdoor sign for coming school activities. Vice-president Janet Lemna, president Bob Best, and secretary-treasurer Susie Knobcl look over the plans for the new community swimming pool. COPPES NAPANEE KITCHENS 22 The Council Provides Valuable Services The Student Council is the means by which, through their representatives, students can voice their opinions concerning school problems and policy. The eighth grade, freshman, sophomore, and junior classes are each represented by four elected class members. The juniors and seniors who are members of National Honor Society and all the class presidents also serve on the Council. The Council is a member of the National Association of Student Councils. Meeting twice a month during activity period, issues are discussed, but much of the Council's work is done through committees. This year the Council adopted a student dress code and donated a new washer and dryer to the physical education department. The Council was responsible for the 1963 Homecoming activities, for decorating the school at Christmas, and for designating the day the Bulldogs played in the sectional tourney as the annual Blue and White Day. Sponsoring this year's assembly programs and planning next year's assemblies were a part of the Council's regular work. Electing eighth grade, B-team, and varsity cheer leaders and helping the National Honor Society purchase the school activity sign completed the Student Council's busy and profitable year. Secretary-treasurer Judy Stoops, vice-president Steve Culp, and president Denny Miller put the finishing touches on N.H.S.'s Christmas tree. FRONT ROW: Mr. Weddle, sponsor, D. Sinclair, D. Orn, B.

Nappanee, Indiana Junior and Senior Y-Teens Attract Over The varied Senior Y-Tcen activities make the club popular among N.H.S. girls. In the summer the vice-president attended an officers' camp atOakwood Park, Syracuse, Indiana. At the club's bi-monthly meetings programs were given by a nurse who works in a Puerto Rican hospital, a former airline hostess, and a beautician. The initiation picnic and instal- lation ceremony for new members and the Decem- ber Mother-Daughter banquet highlighted the year. Giving a party for a retarded children's class and helping in their classroom were the Y-Tecn's service projects.

Since the Hi-Y is a service organization, it donated $25 to the Elkhart Mental Health Society and paid for a speaker to talk to interested students on civil rights. One of the many interesting programs this year was a talk by Elkhart County Sheriff Woody Caton. He explained about the operation of the county jail and the treatment of prisoners. Besides this informa- tive talk, the Hi-Y had other speakers, including Mr. McCrew, who spoke on military obligation. The Hi-Y provided entertainment also, as the members enjoyed a swimming party at the Goshen High School pool, and traveled to Fort Wayne to watch an ice hockey game. Again this year the Senior Hi-Y proved to be one of the most popular clubs for junior and senior boys. Senior Hi-Y officers, secretary Denny Templeton, treasurer Denny Miller, president Bob Best, and vice- president Mike Stump check coats at a home bas- ketball game. FRONT ROW: T. Stoops, K.

The purpose of Hi-Y, along with the platform, Clean Speech, Clean Sports, Clean Scholarship, Clean Living, must be thoroughly learned before a boy can become a member of the organization. The Junior Hi-Y attracts many eighth, ninth, and tenth grade boys. This year the club worked with the senior group in several projects, including the dance and the clothing drive. The club sent its president and secretary to the 1963 Summer Hi-Y Leaders' Camp at Delphi, Indiana. There the two officers learned about the duties of officers and ideas for program planning. The Junior Hi-Y has various speakers come for its bi-monthly meetings. These speakers, usually men from the community, provide entertaining programs. Like the senior group, the Junior Hi-Y held a swimming party in Goshen. Through their Hi-Y activities, N.H.S. boys learn to assume responsibilities that help them become a greater asset to their school and community. Vice-president Duncan Sinclair, secretary Fred Fisher, president John Kindig, and treasurer Lanny Anglin sort clothes for the clothing drive. 27 NAPPANEE TELEPHONE COMPANY Save with a Telephone Sundry Clubs Provide Varied Activities The officers of Tri-Sci were president Luther Adkins, vice-president Barbara Senff, and Maria Popowzak, secretary-treasurer.

The 1963-64 Bulldogs propelled themselves to a fine 15-7 record. Although starting the season by- losing their first three games, the Bulldogs never gave up and came on strong to win 15 of their final 19 games. Coach Keith Dougherty had only one regular, Greg Trucx, and three other returning senior letter- men, Dave McGrew, Keith Blosser, and Dave Gilderslecve, but through hard work and desire for success the team molded itself into a scrappy, well co-ordinated unit. Three of the most satisfying victories for the Bulldogs were over Warsaw, South Bend John Adams, and Bremen. The team also set a record for scoring the most points, 96, in a single game. Greg Truex not only led the Bulldogs in scoring, but also paced Elkhart County in scoring average with 22.7 points per game. Greg received all three bas- ketball awards. He was voted team captain and most valuable player by his teammates, and also earned the free throw trophy. Under Coach Bill Robinson, the Bulldog Bees played an exciting brand of basketball and came up with a 14-6 record. Striving to make the varsity next year, these boys battled every team while also gaining valuable experience. Many boys were given a chance to prove themselves, and they responded well as is shown by the number of victories.

Coach McKee took seven trackmen to the Elk- hart sectional meet, where they all qualified for the Fort Wayne regional. Although none of the boys qualified for the state meet, the team can be proud of their season's achievements. Only two boys, Jim Phillips and Dick Geyer, will be lost by graduation.

Not since 1954 has Nappanee fielded a cross country team, and then very few boys participated in this sport. Next year N.H.S. will take part in cross country competition in the new Northern Lakes Conference. Twenty five boys reported to Coach Dougherty last September. Although the team did not win many meets, they worked hard and gained valuable experience for what is hoped will be a winning season in the fall of 1964. Cross country is not the only new sport that will be offered at N.H.S. when the conference officially opens. Golf, tennis, and baseball will also be added to the expanding sports program. Rochester, Plymouth, Bremen, North Manchester, Warsaw, and Nappanee will all participate in these new events, along with competing in the established sports of football, basketball, and track. There will be a trophy given to the school which compiles the most sports points in all, and all conference teams will be selected in football and basketball. Actual play in baseball began this summer and Coach Riley had ten conference games scheduled along with six non-conference ones. This ambitious and competitive schedule should revive many boys' interest in the exciting game. Coach Stutzman had four matches scheduled for his golf squad. League play will not begin until next spring, but eleven eager boys gained valuable experience for the coming year. The tennis squad, directed by Coach Ulrich, had five matches scheduled and faired well considering their lack of experience. They also are looking forward to 1965, when league tennis competition begins. Although these new sports may at first create headaches for school officials, the players and fans will eventually be pleased with the results. Many more students will be able to participate in the sports program, and at the same time, N.H.S. will reach a new height in athletic achievement. CHRISTNER OIL COMPANY D.X.

The Girls' Athletic Association gives girls a chance to participate in the school sports program. The C.A.A. meets weekly for a sports activity, with each six weeks emphasizing a different sport. The G.A.A. sponsored a play day in which girls from Tipton, Bremen, Madison, and Wakarusa parti- cipated. The girls attended a play day at Tipton, and played the Jimtown and New Carlisle G.A.A.'s in basketball. The G.A.A. also sold Nappanec High School sweatshirts this year. Awards were presented at the mother-daughter banquet on May 4. By attending activity meetings, participating in unorganized sports, and passing written tests, a girl earns points. She must earn 150 points to receive the numerals of the year of her graduation, 250 to receive a letter, and 350 to receive a state award. Seven girls earned their numerals this year, five earned letters, and five were presented with state awards. The state award winners went to Indiana State College to receive their plaques. To receive a senior award, the highest G.A.A. award given, a girl must accumulate 500 points during high school. Winners of the award this year were Betty Hawley, Sharon Rohr, Barbara Senff, and Debbie Sinclair. STUCKMAN'S SHOE STORE Shoes for the Entire Family 42 HOUSE OF HARTER Goshen, Indiana N.H.S. Athletes Receive Honors As N-Men Earning a letter in any varsity sport qualifies a boy for membership in the N-Men club. Following a code of ethics and maintaining a respectable reputation for himself, the club, and the school is the responsibility of each N-Men member. With the help of their sponsors, Mr. Dougherty, Mr. Cunderman, and Mr. McKee, the N-Men spon- sored two dances, one between sessions of the Holiday Tourney and one after a regular season basketball game, to earn money. When a boy becomes a member of N-Men, he receives a pendant with the N-Men insignia. He also is qualified to buy and wear his sweater, and to display his letters and sports achievements. During his senior year, each member receives an N-Men jacket. The highlight of the year was the annual banquet held on March 13 in honor of the lettermen and coaches.

V'Us Faculty Members Encourage All Students to Strive for High Academic Standards The faculty takes a break in their day as they cat lunch in the teachers' lounge. Teachers at Nappanee High School make it their duty to set high standards of scholarship, leadership, and citizenship for students. Many faculty members attend advanced courses at colleges and universities during the summer to further their education and to keep up with new teaching methods. Most of the teachers find themselves busy sponsoring extra- curricular clubs and activities. By their interest and abilities, it is evident that Nappanee teachers seriously assume their responsibility of preparing stu- dents for life after graduation. SHARON ALLISON— English.

Juniors Await a Climatic Final Year Proudly flashing their class rings, the juniors entered school in September, at last attaining the status of upperclassmen. But with that status came new responsibilities. Early in the fall the juniors conducted a two-week magazine sales campaign. The money from this and all other past projects financed the 1964 Junior-Senior Reception and Prom. Committees began working on decorations, entertain- ment, music, and other details months before May 1. Using A Midsummer Night's Dream as their theme, the class members spent many hours creating a night which juniors and seniors would remember as a highlight of their high school years. President Ted Noffsingcr, vice-president Jim Andrews, and secretary-treasurer Margaret Kindig count magazine sales slips. The juniors give the Bulldog a shot of pep at the homecoming bonfire.

The sophomore class started the year with a candy sale, the traditional tenth grade project. Another class project was the sponsoring of a Korean orphan, whom they adopted in their eighth grade year. In February a committee selected a style of class rings. The class members will receive their long-waited-for upperclassmen symbols at the start of their junior year.

Freshmen Begin Their High School Careers Because it was their first year in high school, the freshmen took a lot of kidding, but they realized it was all in fun. The enrollment of the freshmen class increased when the students from Union Township School transferred to Nappanee High School. The many clubs and the wider selection of subjects at N.H.S. provided an opportunity for the freshmen to get better acquainted with high school life.

Realizing the necessity to build up their treasury, the entire eighth grade class worked hard selling concessions at the home football games. The eighth grade basketball team, coached by Mr. Gerber, finished the season with a sparkling 16-4 record. A trophy became the possession of the team members when they defeated Plymouth and Warsaw to win the midwinter tourney which was held at Bremen. Five eighth graders find half-time keeping them busy as they sell concessions at a football game.

OF N.H.S Napanee High School is more than academics and organizations . It is dances, fads and fashions, the Junior- Senior Reception, senior activities, and all the other events which combine to create the spirit of N.H.S. From the time he enters school as a wide- eyed, eager eighth grader to the time he graduates as an educated and ex- perienced senior, school and social life are an important part of a student's high school years. N.H.S. Recognizes Its Outstanding V.I.P.’s The valedictorian and the salutatorian of the class of 1964 are Barbara Brumbaugh and Dennis Miller. Susie Knobel, Steve Culp, Cheryl Mullctt, and Kerry Miller were chosen as Girls' and Boys' State delegates. Each year several outstanding N.H.S. students receive awards. Civic organizations sponsor junior students as representatives to Hoosicr Girls' and Boys' States. The dele- gates spend a week in the summer at I.U. learning about government. By scoring the highest on an examination, a senior girl becomes the Betty Crocker Homemaker of Tomorrow. A senior girl is named as the D.A.R. Good Citizen by a vote of her classmates and the faculty. The V.F.W. Auxiliary sponsors an essay contest which all scitior English students enter.’ The students with the highest scho- lastic averages earn the valedictorian and salutatorian honors of the graduating class. Betty Crocker Homemaker Award winner Janet Lemna adjusts Debbie Sinclair's D.A.R. Good Citizen pin. Barbara Senff placed first, Barbara Brumbaugh second, and Craig Miller third, in the V.F.W. Auxiliary essay contest, The Foreign Student in America-- An Opportunity for Friendship. NAPPANEE JAYCEES DOUBLE E GROCERY Road 19, Tel. 773-9262 There’s Even More in ’64 The special education class uses a game to aid in learning. By November the construction began to look like classrooms. Because of the increased enrollment at N.H.S., an addition to the northwest wing was opened for second semester classes. The new corridor includes four classrooms and a large study hall. Tlvree classrooms are used for general academic subjects, and one is devoted to the special education class. The new study hall provides adequate space for individual study. A new guidance suite was also added. It was designed to have a reception room, offices for two guidance counselors, and two general counseling rooms. The new addition eases the over-crowded conditions of not only classrooms, but also lockers and halls, and helps increase the efficiency of teachers and students. When students returned to school in September, they found a unique feature — an open-air corridor. Most teachers found that students' attention seemed to drift to the construction area. 81 DONALD R. HINTON, D.O. Queen Crowned, Game Won at 63 Homecoming Christine Wise, freshman; Cheryl Mullett, junior; Susan Hartman, 1962 Queen; Carol Disher, Homecoming Queen; Cloria Swihart, senior; Maria Popowzak, senior; and Linda McFall, sophomore, reign over the half-time ceremonies of the Nappanee-Bremen football game. Long before the Nappanee-Bremen football game, plans were being made for the annual homecoming. The freshman, sophomore, and junior classes each elected one queen attendant from their class, while the seniors elected three girls as attendants, one of whom was chosen queen by vote of the whole student body. On the night before homecoming, the pep band and cheer leaders led a procession of students to Stauffer Park. Each class gave a skit, and the coaches introduced the team. After throwing the Bremen lion into the fire, the Bulldog fans returned home brimming with school spirit. During half-time of the game, the marching band presented precision formations. Then as the band halted and played Thank Heaven for Little Girls, convertibles carrying the homecoming court rounded the track. The girls were introduced, and the big moment arrived--Carol Disher was announced as the 1963-64 Homecoming Queen! 1962-63 Queen, Susan Hartman, crowned Carol, who was then pre- sented with a dozen red roses by Student Council president Dennis Miller. After a victorious game, a dance was held in honor of Queen Carol and her court. With glittering crowns and scepters, and crepe paper streamers as background, the Homecoming Dance was a festive occasion for students and alumni.

PRICE, M.D. 82 STATE FARM INSURANCE COMPANY Herb Cripc, Jr. Auto--Life--Firc Dances Add a Special Zing to Weekends Swinging to tunes such as California Sun and sharing a dance to Blue Velvet with that special someone is the way many students spent Friday and Saturday nights. Teen Town and school organizations sponsored a variety of dances throughout the year. After football games the dress was casual, but at the holiday Snowball dance, gay party frocks brightened the all-purpose room. The senior class set a precedent by sponsoring a dance on Halloween night. The science clubs provided a change of pace when they sponsored their T.W.I.R.P. (The Woman Is Required to Pay) Dance. While popular records usually provided the music, several dances featured instrumental groups. All in all, dances provided fun and entertainment which perked up N.H.S. weekend life. Kent Plotncr, Fred Yoder, and Bob McCrew make sure that only their favorite records are played at the Art Club dance. At a dance sponsored by the seniors, Linda Watkins and Judy Keck do the latest version of the twist. A highlight of the Christmas vacation is Teen Town's Snowball. HECKAMAN MANUFACTURING, INC. DRAKES EASY SHOPPING PLACE Elkhart, Indiana An Average N.H.S. Student? Of Course! The average student devours .43 of his weekly hamburger allotment. The average Nappance High School student is 16.84 years old, and was probably born in March. The average girl is 5'5 , weighs 119.38 lbs., and has brown eyes. The average boy is 5'8 , weighs 147.27 lbs., and has blue eyes. The average student's day begins at 6:53 A.M. when he gets up. After bidding farewell to his 1.3 brothers and 1.32 sisters, the student is off to school, where he spends .29 of his day. The chances are that he is wearing blue, which is by far his favorite color. The average girl carries a purse containing 78.13 class pictures, $2.10, and 26.5 other items. Although the average boy only has 10.41 class pictures with him, his financial resources amount to $4.74. The student can always hope that at noon on his table he will find his favorite food, steak for a boy, and pizza for a girl. His enjoyment of food doesn't stop there, though. Per week the average student consumes 2.3 hamburgers, 194.25 French fries, and 4.49 Cokes. Having 1.44 study halls a day, the average stu- dent takes home 2.37 books. Per night a boy spends 1.1 hours doing homework, while a girl toils 2.11 hours over her home study. The average student is a member of 2.2 school clubs, and he regularly reads 2.51 magazines. Every night he spends 1.89 hours watching TV. A boy's favorite program is THE OUTER LIMITS, while a girl prefers THE DICK VAN DYKE SHOW. After all this activity, the student retires at 10:22 to get his 8.5 hours of sleep. That takes care of .71 of the week. How docs the average student spend his weekends? Per month the average student has 3.96 dates, attends 2.31 dances, and goes to 1.66 shows. Who is our average student? No one--yet everyone. It's all the un-average stu- dents who make up N.H.S.! Better hurry--only two minutes till that average bedtime! The average boy speedily (?) completes his 1.1 hours of homework. The average student absorbs much culture from reading 2.51 magazines. On their date two average students decide upon seeing an Academy Award winning movie. The way to a girl's heart--pizza! 85 1964 was THE year for the Beatles! In February these four young mop-headed English singers in- vaded the world by storm with their yah, yah, yah's. John, Paul, George, and Ringo became the biggest singing sensation to sweep the country since Elvis Presley's fabled 1956 rise to fame. During the winter months, the halls of N.H.S. were filled with clouds of mohair, for it was the thing for girls to wear fuzzy, Italian-knit sweaters. When spring arrived, wool pleated skirts, cardigan sweaters, and knee socks were replaced by denim outfits, madras plaid wrap-around skirts, and colorful shifts. Pencil striped shirts, shirts and sweaters with contrasting elbow patches, and sweaters with bold woven designs earned the favor of the boys. Why do boys like motor scooters? Scooters arc very economical, and fun, too! For boys who haven't yet reached the magic age of sixteen, and for some who have, motor scooters are the most. In spring a boy's mind turns to thoughts of--what else but motor scooters! The Bop Is ’’Out —the Beatles Are In”! The voices of John, Paul, George, and Ringo echoed through teen-age (girls' at least) homes to the tune of I Want to Hold Your Hand, P.S. I Love You, I Saw Her Standing There, and many others. Fuzzy mohair sweaters—of all colors and dcsigns--were in during the winter of '63. 86 Seniors Find You Can’t Take It with You The senior play cast began rehearsals two months before their April 23 and 24 presentation of YOU CAN'T TAKE IT WITH YOU. Directed by Mr. Jones, they spent much time perfecting their characteri- zation of the Martin Vanderhof family and friends. The comedy told the story of an eccentric family whose members have traits ranging from at- tending Just anyone's commencement exercises, to collecting snakes, playing the xylophone, printing circulars, writing plays, making fireworks, and existing on corn flakes. Backstage crews and cast members provided stu dents and the community with an evening's entertainment by portraying a week with this un- usual (to say the least) family.

Using A Midsummer Night's Dream as their theme, the junior class gave the gym and the all-purpose room the atmosphere of a starry night for the evening of May 1. The occasion? The social event of the year—the 1964 Junior-Senior Reception and Prom! As in years past, the prom and reception this year were highlights of students' high school years. A sky of blue netting, imitation stone walls, a wish- ing well, and white trellises helped create the dreamland for the reception. After the dinner the out-of-town guests were invited into the gym for the entertainment. Vic Hyde, a one man orchestra, presented the program. After the entertainment, scenes shifted to the all- purpose room, where the prom was held. Golden stars and a large basket of flowers hung suspended from the ceiling, and the stage had the appearance of a terrace garden. The Trade winds provided dancing music. Civic clubs sponsored an all-night party which began after tire prom, and the next day many students headed for the Michigan dunes for a day of fun. ff v. V 88 Kenny Wyman, Jim Phillips, Pat Pontious, and Cinda Schori admire the wishing well at the reception. Bob Best proudly receives a scholarship estab- lished in honor of his father, Wayne Best. Four seniors carefully carry their robes into the church for baccalaureate. Senior Week Begins At 3:00 o'clock on Sunday afternoon, May 17, the class of 1964 entered the baccalaureate service, held at the First Brethren Church, to the music of Mendelsohn's March of the Priests. The senior members of the high school choir sang two numbers. In his address, the Reverend William Heimach urged the seniors to Shun the Shadows. The recessional played was Handel's Recessional in G Major. Class Night was held Tuesday, May 19, to present deserving seniors with awards and recognition. After opening remarks by Superintendent Osborn, Principal James Weddle presented service awards and college scholarships. Faculty members gave awards for outstand- ing achievement in their departments, and athletic and music letter winners were recognized. Representatives of companies and service clubs offering awards and scholarships closed the program. Denny Miller and Barbara Brumbaugh, recipients of math, awards, were only two of the many seniors honored at Class Night. The class of 1964 marches out to Handel's Re- cessional in G Major after baccalaureate, the first activity of senior week. 89 May 21 Marks Final Day for Seniors Thursday night May 21, at 8:15, the class of 1964 entered the gym to the majestic Pomp and Circumstance. The senior members joined the band to play Mozart's 'The Impressario and Carter's Overture for Winds. Using the phrase The trumpet summons us again from John F. Kennedy's inaugural address, the Reverend James Armstrong, pastor of the Indianapolis Broadway Methodist Church, challenged the class to pursue the late president's goals toward human rights. Stating that President Kennedy's death was the most significant event of 1963, the Reverend Armstrong told of the lessons still to be learned from the tragedy. When their names were announced by Principal James Weddle, the seniors received their diplomas from School Board member Richard Berger. After changing their tassels from the left side to the right, the 1964 graduates proudly recessed to strains of Sine Nomine. Maria Popowzak and Wayne Berger lead the commencement processional. Sharon Meister receives her diploma and congratulations from School Board member Richard Berger. Seniors, we salute you. 90 New York Hosts Seniors for Three Days On Sunday afternoon May 24, the seniors boarded two chartered buses headed for New York City. They arrived at the Park-Sheraton Hotel Monday morning. Monday afternoon the class took the subway to the 1964-65 World's Fair. When the seniors tired of walking the forty miles of sidewalks, the benches between musical lamp posts were a welcome sight to them! Monday evening the class went to Rockefeller Center to the top of the RCA Building, from which they viewed the city by twilight. Seeing a stage show, including a performance by the Rockettcs, and a premiere showing of the movie The Chalk Garden at Radio City Music Hall completed the evening's agenda. Tuesday morning the seniors toured the United Nations and Empire State Buildings. The afternoon was spent on a cruise down the Hudson River and Hudson Bay around Manhattan Island. Tuesday night some of the class mem- bers went to Greenwich Village, while others saw a movie or other Broadway entertainment. Wednesday was free, so most of the seniors spent part of the day shopping and the rest of the day at the Fair. The Swiss Sky Ride, General Motors Futurama, and the Illinois Pavilion were favorites of the class at the Flush- ing Meadow Peace through Understanding extravaganza. The seniors returned home Thursday morning, tired, but with souvenirs and memories of their last activity together as a class. Several seniors enjoy the view on the cruise around Manhattan Island. After an afternoon of World's Fairing, eleven seniors relax on a bench on the Avenue of Americas to rest their weary feet. Senior girls admire a kitchen displayed by a Nappanee cabinet company in the Pavilion of American Interiors at the Fair. 91 INDEX Administration ...............48-49 Baccalaureate................... 89 Bands........................18-19 Basketball....................36-37 Cheer leaders....................44 Chorus.......................16-17 Class Night..................... 89 Classroom Scenes...............4-13 Commencement.....................90 Cross Country....................40 D'Bulldog........................21 Eighth Grade Class............75-77 Faculty.......................50-52 F.H.A............................30 Football......................34-35 F.
