■« il Maynard Lehman was our President in 1924-’25 and Margrete Beach became Secretary-Treasurer. Real work confronted us, as Juniors, for we had to prepare for the Junior-Senior reception. Our hopes to have a graduating class of forty were beginning to dwindle as we lost three more classmates during our third year. When we returned to old N. H. S. in the fall of ’25, we realized that we had a big year before us. We organized immediately as the officers and staff of the Napanet had to be chosen so they could begin work at once. Alfred Tobias became President and Margrete Beach was again chosen Secretary-Treasurer. The names of the staff appear on other pages of this book. Five of the seventy-seven who began high school with us are graduating from other schools this spring: Lowell Mast will complete his course at South Bend; May Yoder has graduated from Wakarusa high school; Wallace Miner will finish at Peru; Ray Phillips belongs to the class of ’26 at Bremen; and Minnie Burtsfield has received her diploma from New Paris high school. Jay Wysong and Charles Welty quit in our Freshman year, but they have returned and are now members of the class of ’28. Ray Mishler, who left us when a Sophomore, is now a Junior. Thus many have left us because of failure or weariness, or for other reasons, until now, our present graduating class consists of thirty-six members, the remainder of whose history you will learn in other pages of this book and on May 27th, the night of our Commencement.
