Raymond and his car are also quite popular with a lit- tle girl of the underclasses. Likewise she is quite popular with him. ZOLA YODER The fellow who sits down and waits for opportunity to come his way usually spends his life sitting. But Zola does not spend her time sitting waiting, but snatches every opportunity whether it comes her way or not. Girl Reserves ' 26, ' 27, ' 28. LESLIE FIELD Some day Leslie will wake up and find himself famous. Although he is gener- ally quiet, he usually has a good answer when called upon. DOROTHY GEYER Quiet, capable, and obliging, A true friend indeed. Dorothy has kept right along with us during our four years of hard work. Her quiet manner indicates that she is busy at something that shall be well done. Girl Reserves ' 28. 1928 Piif i Xlnrte ?Kapauet VIRGIL STOUT Look, he is winding up the watch of his wit; by and by it wU strike. Virgil is a devoted lover of the great out-of-doors. That accounts for his fre- .]uent absences from these realms of learning. When the call of the out-of- doors comes, he jumps astride his bicycle and cares not whether there is school or anything else. PAULINE LOPP Serene and resolute and still. And calm and self possessed.

MABEL WELTY The mildest manners and the bravest mind. Mabel is another member of our class whom we remember most favor- ably. She is one of those prudent beings who inhabit this earth and believe in being seen and not heard. But when- ever Mabel does open her mouth, some- thing worth listening to is sure to come out. It is told that sewing and riding in an Essex with a certain boy friend are her chief hobbies, and getting mar- ried, her greatest ambition. Good luck to you, Mabel.

She really is a jolly good pal EARL GULP He came to us in his Junior year, But accomplished heaps while he was here. His psychology, poetry and Darwinian theories have helped in making our class a most distinguished one. MARY ELLEN MILLER For she is wise, if I can judge of her. And true she is, as she hath proved herself. Mary Ellen is a class loyalist who never fails to support class projects. Girl Reserves ' 28. Honor Bright ' 27. FLOYD MILLER Floyd is serene, calm and slow, but he does things. However, he can do one thing some people can ' t; that is mind his own business — with the aid of the faculty. O. J. YODER No, this is not a Senior. It is our joke- telling principal and Senior Class Ad- visor. Here is an example of his Irish stories: An Irishman in a school-board meet- ing: ' I propose that we build a new school building, and that we build it in the place where the old one is; and I propose that we leave the old school house standing until the new one is up, and that we use the stones of the old one to build the new one. This might be a solution to our school- building problem. ' « ; Twcf ' ty-lwo 1928 [ ----l Q apanct JUST IMAGINE— Harter Wright — Unable to argue. Evelyn Lehman — Six feet two in her stacking feet.

The scenario was written by Dorothy Price. Pauline Lopp, who is em- ployed in the Milliner Shop run by Dorothy Mishler and Zola Yoder, was rushed to the hospital yesterday for an operation. Dr. Douglas Price, the surgeon, reported that he found a spool of thread, some pins, needles, French labels, and various other articles. The doctor reports that the patient is coming along nicely and will probably be on her feet again in a week.  Miss Marjorie Guiss, the well known reader and pub- lic speaker, will give a pro- gram next Wednesday evening at the new Opera House. The unusual enter- tainment is being sponsored by the Dramatic Club of this school, which considers itself very fortunate, in obtaining Miss Guiss. The High School has the distinction of being her Alma Mater. Mi ss MjTtle Burgener has recently started a Linen Shop one door west of Rieharu Berger ' s Hot Dog Stand. Miss Burgener find- ing no use for her H. C. (otherwise Hope Chest) has favored the public by start- ing a shop and invites every- one to come and inspect her handiwork. Harry Tobias broke all speed records yesterday at the Indianapolis Speedway by running 122 miles per hour. Ralph Stahly and Harold Michael came in a lose second and third. Mr. Michael seems to have run on faith alone, because he entered the race with his old Henry, but it evi- dently became excited in its old age and came in third. COURT NEWS Mr. Ted Price filed divorce suit against his wife, who was formerly Miss Evelyn Wehrly. He charged her with flirting with a dummy model in the men ' s cloth- .ng store, run by Charles Sheets. Mr. Price has hired Carlyle Yarian for his at- torney, and is very sure he can win the case. Miss Evelyn Lehman has recently published a took, entitled How I Grew. This book is considered a great help to modern science. Rumors are out that John Coppes eloped with a :horus girl, who danced in the Hotsy Totsy Revue, that made its last appear- ance at the Fairy Theatre last week. Miss Esther Hoover- is planning a three months ' trip abroad with several other English teachers. They are to start in June. During their trip they will visit England, France, Italy, and Germany. + F a r r e 1 Hughes, well known socialist of Indian- apolis, has been nominated for mayor of that city on the socialist ticket. He is said to have strong oppo- sition, but the. mass of peo- ple are for him and his election is certain. On March 1, Miss Mabel Welty and Dorothy Geyer started to the mission field in Argentina, South Amer- ica, where they will be for five years. We wish to apologize for the manner in which we disgraced the beautiful wedding of Mary Markley and Arlo ' Blossel-, which was read by Rev. Gisflfd Walker last week. Through an error we were made to say, The roses were punk. What we meant to say was, The noses were pink. Mary Chamberlin, Roberta Wysong, Society Reporters. HAS BRIGHT PUPILS Earl Gulp, principal of Gravelton Junior High School, wrote back and told of the bright answers his pupils gave: The whale swallowed Joan of Arc, who was Noah ' s wife.

Their motto seems to be: Take it slow and see all. Fred Culp is playing with Jazz Baby ' s Darlings at the Ritz ' in Jimtown. Dale Watts is also with the same orchestra, walloping a mean drumstick. Ray Weygand is cartoon- ing the comic section Peroxide Blondes, found in so many daily papers. + + Mr. and Mrs. Ray Mishler spent last week in Chicago at the Automobile show, for the interest of the local Buick Agency.

September has a monopoly on birthdays with nine. October is a close second with seven. February is celebrated by only two. September second has the distinction of being the birthday of three students ; September ninth, two, and July fifth, a real pair of twins. The second day of the month is quite popular with seven birthdays to its credit. Birthdays do not fall on important holidays, except one pupil cele- brates Memorial Day and another Inauguration Day. One has a birthday today and another the coming Sunday. According to custom in Indiana, most pupils enter school near the age of six years. Twelve years is the usual period spent in the public schools. Hence the average student graduating in 1928 should have been born in 1910. Two were born in 1911 ; thirty-three in 1910 ; eleven in 1909 ; five in 1908. The average age of the girls is 18 years. 2 months, 15 days. The average age of the boys is 18 years, 3 months, 13 days. The oldest is a boy; the youngest a girl age 16 years, 11 months, 18 days. The attendance of this class has been exceptionally good. One boy and one girl have never been tardy nor absent. Two boys and one girl have missed a half day. Two boys and one girl have missed one day or more, but less than two days. Three boys and one girl have missed three days. Two girls have missed four days. One girl and one boy have missed five days. The Class of 1928 put on their own Commencement. The Class Play was entitled The Boomerang. The Salutatory was given by Esther Hoover. The Valedictory was given by Gladys Hepler. Commencement date was May 18, 1928. 1928 Page Twenty-seven n PIlSHLER Seniors John CoPPts TJoBERTft ' ' •4 3 EstHER Hoover Carlyle rian Ellsworw ood Viola McGovxEM JeANhiirTE.

OUR LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT We, the Class of 1928, being about to depart from this Institution of Learning and Fame, in full possession of superior minds, well-de- veloped memories and almost super-human knowledge, do make and pub- lish this our last will and testament. First we do direct that our funeral services shall be conducted by the Reverend Robert Quinn. We only ask as the last wish of the dying, that the ceremony be carried on with the greatest dignity and pomp that could be bestowed upon the gi-eat and honored Seniors. As to such estate as our brilliant minds and skillful hands have aided us to acquire, we do dispose of the same as fo ' lows: 1 To Mr. Yoder a pair of stilts. . To Mrs. B. a huge bowl of heavenly hash. To Mr. Longfellow a megaphone. To Mr. Trabue the latest edition of My Ancestors, Past, Present, and Future. To Miss Lantz the memory of our harmonious pep session songs. To Mr. Strycker a monocle to add to his English dignity. To the entire faculty we leave the fond memory of the loving chil- dren just released from their tutelage. II To the Juniors we will and bequeath the love and tenderness the teachers have bestowed on us this past year and the profit of our combined wisdom and experience. To the Sophomores we give the sincere hope that they may have better success than we in having a bob-sled party. To the angelic Freshmen we donate wings, halos and harps.

Signed: SENIORS i age Thirty-tvJO 1928 CLASS HISTORY In nineteen hundred sixteen We numbered eig-hty-one When first we trod the path to school ' Neath September ' s beaming sun. Just twelve years ago, eighty-one little tots entered the Primary department of the Nappanee Schools. The room in the little frame build- ing, still occupying a goodly portion of our lovely school grounds, was not large enough to accommodate this great number so some of the youngsters wei ' e taught their first lessons by Miss Dorothy Fletcher in the basement of the Methodist Church, while the others remained with Miss Eessie Brown at the School building. From the second to the sixth grade the teachers were as follows : Second grade: Miss Freida Price Miss Hazel Burwell Third grade: Miss Hazel Burwell Fourth grade : Miss Beatrice Gentzhorn Fifth grade : Miss Ruth McCoy Sixth grade: Mr. Merle Stump Miss Edna Evans In September, 1922, the High School opened wide its doors and ad- mitted the class as seventh graders. By the time we were thoroughly ini- tiated into the ways of the big building we found a number of rural lads and lasses who had joined us on this Island of Nappanee High School. When we landed hei-e we found three other colonies already oc- cupying the island. It was a wonderful land full of opportunities and we were vastly pleased with the sight after having sailed eight j ears on the sea of Grammar Grades. There were about eighty-eight of us when we founded our little colony and called it the Class of 1928, a very fitting name indeed. Since we were unaccustomed to this life it took us our first year to become settled and acquainted. The other inhabitants paid very little at- tention to us except to reprimand us for misunderstandings and things that were not our fault. They were an overwhelming people and we green ones could not do much against them in a form of self-protection. After one year passed and we were getting used to our island life, we became more contented and our heads began to swell a little from praises. We gave one or two parties in our colony and were pleased with the success and appearance of them. These little things caused the inhab- itants in the other colonies to take more notice of us. Some of them ( I mean the wiser ones) said that we would be a leading colony on the island some day. Although we thought little of it at the time, it has since been brought to our attention. The second year passed and we were now the second leading colony on the island. After giving a very fine play called Honor Bright in which our excellent talent was displayed, we were very busy with a great 1928 Page Thirty-three ?Capanct reception for the leading colony. Very elaborate preparations were made for the great occasion. On the evening of the festivity the room was dec- orated in very dazzling colors and festoons. An unsurpassed orchestra from the mainland was hired to play for us. A corps of sailor girls from the colony of ' 29 acted as waitresses. After we had finished eating, oui ' leading citizens and their leading citizens gave some very amusing and charming speeches. When the Colony of ' 27 moved to the College mainlands we were the leading citizens of the island. About the first thing we did was to have a party at the home of one of our citizens, Alma Anglin. Since this was such a decided success we gave a Hallowe ' en party and invited the colony of ' 29. This year we are publishing the only magazine on the island and called it the Xapanet. It is such au elaborate book that it takes us one year to publish it. Again we went in for dramatics and produced a splendid play, The Boomerang, that has made us famous throughout the entire island. Yet we are getting more and more restless on our island home and want to see the mainland and its treasures. The colony of ' 29 hears of our intentions and gives us an elaborate reception similar to ours last year. We are so enticed that we want to stay on our island home, but we have made our decision and cannot go back on it. Shortly after the reception we are called by the mayor of the is- land and given our passports to College iMainlands across the water. He gives us an inspiring speech ; tears well in our eyes and we wish not to leave our home and its old companions. Nevertheless at the close of the year we embark on our boat again on the Sea of Life into the Land of Colleges and Greater Opportunities.

Under thys moste excellent leadershyp, fared well ye Freshman Class until all became Sophomores. Dayes of Yesterday : No longer scorned and trodden o ' er by all, the class of twenty-nine doeth great things in this period. Again we did choose Chester McCuen, president and his twin brother, Lester as his assistant. AIeiO we did choose Mrs. B. to assist Mr. Trabue in guiding our class throughout this year. Perhaps thou canst recall that in the Sophomore year a certain lassie from the class of tweny-nine again headed the list on the honor roll and there-on also appeared other Sophomore names. To-day ; Now we are Juniors and we sure do know our stuff, and how! This time twin brother, Let was chosen president, Chet, vice- president, Julia Welty, secretary, and Maxine Wright to guard the cash. Already this year we put across a walloping good class play and drew in enough dough to show the Seniors a hot time and plenty of grub at the reception. Then, too, we are represented swell in athletics as we have two fellows on the first string and sevei-al on the second in basketball. And our noon team has been stepping righ t out and is at the head of the list. 1928 Pnfie Thirty-sevpn Music ' l l bNDf:,?

At first they were fearful of the teachers — especially Mr. Abell, whom, since they have grown up, they find hamiless — to a certain extent. As soon as the Class of ' 30 entered High School the various teachers saw that they had a lively bunch to contend with. Class of ' 30 has always respected the teachers of the High School and in turn has always been re- spected by them, although differences in opinion often occur. We believe the members of the class have always played fair in any class rivalry and has taken part in the High School athletics. 1928 Pape Forty-one Magazine: 5 Phvsicai.C HVSlCAbl OLTdRE G OUNTRy {jtHUtt CH The, DooK ' An Liberty Good Hou ei eeping ThC iMERtCAN Bov True RonAHces CoLLEQe, Lon|C5 5flT- EvEMiNnTo e ® ctpamt iFrpHl|man OIlaBB .1 MOTTO: Toil Conquers All Things.

After our mothers left us to the mercy of the upper classmen, we toddled inquisitively about the corridors trying to find our classes. Then after about two weeks, when everything was running smoothly and we had just settled down blissfully to enjoy High School we were informed that in order to do our work efficiently, class of- ficers were necessary. We immediately chose Stahly Weldy, president ; Alberta Weygand, vice-president ; Erdean Stahly, secretary-treasurer, and Mr. Trabue and Mrs. B. as advisors. Then we learned it is customary to have class colors, flowers, etc. So like all good Freshies we selected blue and gold, which when blended together produce a beautiful green. The yellow rose was chosen as our emblematic flower and our motto, Toil con- quers all things, has helped us over many difiiculties and the trying task of being Freshmen. 1928 Payc Forty-Jivc g I apitd I diumnr l igl) dinnl -- - EIGHTH GRADE Officers President - . - Vice-President Secretary Treasurer - - - Advisor ...

However they did not flounder long. They soon discovered their bearings, and when the basketball season was in full force, everyone sat up and took notice. Why ! These little midgets could play basketball ! Real Ball! Lamar Reed just simply couldn ' t miss the basket from back floor, and after racing madly down the floor, Fritz Lopp invariably added two points to the seventh grade score. Fast? Why Willie Troup could outrun any Junior, Freshman, Sophomore, or whatever he be. The tip-off ' didn ' t mean much to these boys. They could soon recover the ball, anyway. The other members of the team, George Hershberger, Bill Price, Reed New- comer, Karl Freese, and Karl Knobel all played exceptionally good ball. William Pepple was another one good on those long shots. What will these boys do in another year or so ? The seventh grade girls did not do much in basketball. However, in a hotly contested game of drive ball, they lost to the eighth gi-ade, 18-16. In kick ball the class was divided into three teams. These were the Live Wires, with Fern Clark as their captain ; the Wildcats, captained by Garnet Shoup; and the Go-Getters, with Jeannette Buss as their captain. A tournament between these teams and the eighth grade was late in the spring.

The Student Council has been organized in our school for the last two years. The Council consists of one member from the Freshman Class, two Sophomores, three Juniors, and four Seniors. The Council elected of- ficers the first of the year and met each Wednesday afternoon at 3 :40. It has aided in promoting better discipline in the school and has sent letters for the purpose of encouraging those who have quit school to come back again. Also the members of the Council put on a program in the assembly room for entertaining the High School. It as a whole has attempted to create better interest and to bring about better conduct among the stu- dents in the school. 1928 Fa fire Fifty-three = .-- ERocX V staff 4g) apattd ANNUAL STAFF Editoi--in-chief — Gladys Hepler Assistant Editor — Margaret Mullett Business Manager VVajnie Best Assistant Business Manager John Coppes Athletics Editor Ellsworth Rood Society Editor Marjorie Guiss Prophetess Dorothy Price Art Editor Ray Wej gand Snap Shot Editor .

This year ' s purpose is: As loyal Girl Reserves we shall endeavor to help others in fulfilling their ob- ligations to themselves, their friends, the world, and to God ; and to assist them in developing their lives physically, socially, mentally, and spirit- ually. There are ten girls working for rings. Since the standards are much miore difficult than previously, it will prove the girls ' worthiness when they succeed in winning the rings. Among our social affairs were several pot-luck suppers, a meeting at Elkhart with their Girl Reserves and a banquet in their honor at Nap- panee. The Girl Reserves and Hi-Y clubs were jointly entertained by the similar organizations at Elkhart on February 29. On December 13 our G. R. and Hi-Y presented The Goose Hangs High. The proceeds were evenly divided between the two clubs. A St. Patrick banquet was also jointly held by these organizations at the Methodist Church. Although the Seniors will take a number of our members we feel certain of a fine club next year for a very capable corp of officers have been elected and installed.  1928 Page Fifty-seven ijlf g 9 J - A y 56- V e ® apaurt y Hi-Y Cecil Anglemyer Wayne Best John Coppes Fred Culp ■John Early John Frevert Ra ' mond Hepler DeVon Hossler Dale Lehman Robert McAndrews Chester McCuen Harold Michael Ralph Moore OFFICERS I WOULD BE TRUE I would be true, For there are those who trust me : I would be pure, For there are those who care ; I would be strong, For there is much to suffer; I would be brave.

The High School Band has made excellent progress during the past year in spite of the fact that it lost many of its members last spring. Its first appearances this year were at baseball games and Amistice Day services. A number of selections by the band was a feature of the Purdue Short Course program on February 2 at the Auditorium. Near the end of the last term this organization has made Nappanee exceedingly proud of it. On April 27, they played at Elkhart in the Band Contest. There they won first place among the Class B. High School Bands. As a result of this contest they competed in the State contest at Muncie the following week. This all tends to prove that music is as important in the High School curriculum as athletics, for this is the second musical team Nappanee has sent to State contests this year.

Our orchestra is an important musical division of our school although it is not so well known as the Band. It provided music for the play. Only about half of its members will be left next year so our plea is for more students studying musical instruments to play in our orchestra in the coming years. -1928 Page Sixty-ane GIRLS ' GLEE CLUB Wilma Abell Jeannette Arch Feme Lantz — Directress Launa ' Beechley Virginia Coppes — Pianist Lillie Crow Helen Frederick Marjorie Guiss Esther Hoover Blanche Jervis Evelvn Lehman — Secretary-Treas.

The Adelphian Literary Society was organized the second cemes- tej ' . The name was taken from ancient Greek Mythology. It is symbolic of the Adelphian Oracles of the Greek God, Apollo of Delphi. Our colors are purple and white, and our motto, Ad Astra Per Aspera , meaning To The Stars Through Difficulty. The society meets three times a week at which time each member takes part in the program. Very interesting debates, extempore speeches, readings and dramatics are the main features of these meetings. Officers are elected every six weeks. No member may hold the same office twice. At the banquet we are planning each person is going to make an after-dinner speech. 1928 Page Sixty-five apait t JUNIOR GIRL RESERVES Carolyn Arch Nada Wright — Advisor Ruth Bartman ■Bernice Berkeypile Jeannette Buss Dorothy Coppes Vivian Eppley Lucille Heckaman Susan Heckaman Hazel Hively Theora Holderman Pearl Hummel — President Margaret McFall Lavern Miller Wava Miner Carolyn Mullett — Vice-President Bernice Norman Anna Rassmussen Kathryn Richmond Virginia Richmond — Treasurer Mary Janet Rickert Garnet Shoup Amber Stout Madeline T yler Evelyn Walters Glenw ' yn Walters — Secretary With only eight members we started this year with our new Adventure Books.

The purpose of the Shop course is to develop handiness, to enable the pupil through the making of minor repairs and the undertaking of minor construction in the home, to contribute to its economic and mate- rial upkeep, and to serve as an introduction to vocational and prevoca- tional training. The seventh grade work is an introductorj course dealing with the use and care of common tools. Mastery of fundamental tool processes is stressed. The eighth grade work is a repetition of the seventh and house- hold mechanics. The problems are confined to those which are ordinarily met in the home. Two High School classes were organized. The Elementary class is primarily for boys from the country and the Advanced class for boys who have had some shop work before.

Nappanee has entei-ed the County Music Achievement Contest for the last three years, but this, the fourth year, has been the first time we have won any honors. After winning- first place at the County Contest at Goshen this team entered the District Contest at Laporte and succeeded in winning there. Although not as successful in the State Contest at Indianapolis the team won fourth place. Music Appreciation has become an important factor in a High School education, especially music of the type studied in the Contest, which has been prepared by a committee of efficient people. A person who has never entered a contest cannot realize the value of being in one. The value is in the training and not in the contest itself. Every student should have Music Appreciation taught to them, and it certainly should have as much of a place in school as athletics or any subject of study.

I ' atit S jvrnty-four 1928 Rbt Vferatai apaitrt ujnnM The half knee bend and also a good reducing exercise are at your command if you possess one of Henry ' s Fords. You drive up to the town dummy and for fear of not stopping, make a sudden dive into the bottom of It and bring up the brake with a squeaky jerk. This having been accomplished, the sign will change and the same exercise is repeated, keeping time to the pop and snort of a somewhat uncertain engine. You know it will be impossible to turn, ow- ing to the ice, without taking a few chips out of the town centerpiece and being conscious of a few corner loafers, decide to go straight on. All the while a deafening noise continues and above the roar and din you shout, finally making known to vour uncomfortable companion to pull the choker. This being done, you hop along in a much better fashion. However, the rattle continues and your foot brake is inclined to stay where you shoved it a few moments before. While kicking around in the bottom your foot is entangled in some battery wires. This causes the car to be filled with the odor of scorched rubber and tin. About this time you meet your school teacher who on seeing the smoke, looks with a hor- rified expression on her otherwise pleasant countenance. If your friend is still pulling the choker you are able to advance a few hundred feet. Here you meet a boy friend on whom you are particu- larly anxious to make a good impression. This is attempted by shoving the left elbow out of the window and assuming an important air of own- ership. But alas! The window is not down and the impact on your crazy bone makes your hands slip and It zig-zags in a ridiculous manner down the street. The important air feature is also a total failure. By this time your energy is spent and a much longed for expres- sion of words overcomes you as It comes to a jolting stop in the mid- dle of the street.

THE HIGH SCHOOL NEWSPAPER CAN Say, people, do you know my responsibility as a wastepaper can? Well if you don ' t, I am here to enlighten you on the subject. Early in the morning before anybody is in school I am very empty, so empty that I can hardly wait till the pupils begin to feed me. Then I swallow old test papers, chewing gum, buckshot, and paper wads. Sometimes pretty flapppers come up and drop little bits of paper in my mouth, thinking that no one will ever see them again. But what do I do but put every single piece together and read some very good literature or perhaps a love poem. This is the kind of trash that is most interesting although other articles come my way. Other missiles sent my way are short pencils and pieces of chalk which may be seen flying through space when the teacher is out of the room. I am located at a very prominent door, thus putting myself very much in the way, and occasionally getting kicked. This kind of abuse causes me to give forth a great deal of noise, making much unnecessary disturbance. However buckshot is the most harmful to me. This kind of treatment keeps on all day long until I am very much out of humor. But what can I do? Hold my temper is all. I will now leave you with a last word of reciuest: Please give me less solid food and more dessert.

' «y ' - Sev€Tity-r ( ht 1928 SOCIAL LIFE OF THE ANT FAMILY There are many different groups of ants. More than two thousand species have been described. All of the ants live in communities and are social insects. There are eight castes, but not all in the same specie. The castes are the winged males and females, major and minor workers; ergatoids applies to both sexes, intermediate and the soldiers. The life of ants has been the subject of much observation and com- ment. Many stories are told of the intelligence of ants but Twain and Bethe, the German writer has discredited their intelligence in Tramp Abroad. The ant works hard when he is being watched. He goes foraging and never goes home because he doesn ' t know where his home is. His capture is never of use to him for it is too big. He hunts out the most awkward place to take hold of it, lifts up the object and starts frantically in some direction. He runs up against a pebble, climbs over it backward, dragging the booty with him, tumbles down the other side, jumps up, kicks off the dust, grabs his property, jerks it this way and that, hoists it into the air and starts off in a new direction, comes to a weed, climbs to the top and then decides this is not the place, climbs or tumbles down and starts off in another direction. After meeting another ant and fighting about nothing each start off in opposite paths. They determine direction by paths previously traveled by other ants. Their sense of smell is located in the antennae, but sight is also used as a directing influence. Their community life could be compared to a perfect republic where each works for the good of the whole community. A community is founded by a single queen. The males have very short lives, but two queens have been known to have lived for seven years and workers more than six years. ■ ; ; ■ ' ; ' The nests vary greatly in form. Some ants occupy galleries in the ground. Others make chambers in decaying wood. Some build mounds. Still others construct nests of paste-like substances. They feed on a great variety of substances. They are carnivorous and vegetable feeders. They are fond of sap of trees, secretions of plant lice and scale insects. In an old community the number may extend into hundreds of thousands, but they always recognize or resent the members of other colonies. The honey ant is very peculiar; the abdomen is filled with grape sugar. The nest is a low gravel covered mound. The honey bearers cling 1928 Page Scvcnty-n inc to the roof of the chamber and store the sweet substance. In times of famine the honey bearer regurgitates the hone ' and it is transferred to the stomachs of indiN-iduals. The Httle red ant exists in houses, in walls and under the floors. The black ant is also found in houses. The ant is not so destructive as they are annoying through their presence on food. The remarkable features lOf ant life offer most fascinating reading even to persons not especially in- terested in nature. Biology Theme, Mary Ho ogeboom, ' 28. Fac f Eiuhltj 1928 e. S). apan t THE JUNIORS It was on one Monday morning, In the fall of twenty-five, When before the wiser students We, as Freshmen did arrive. Seventy-three went through the tortures That a Freshie must endure; When one ' s called too green for burning, It ' s offensive, to be sure. Soon came tests and tests before us. Just as now they often do; And our grades were very shocking While our hundreds were but few. Then came best of all, our parties, Hallowe ' en brought needless vim; There were two with only Freshies, One in the park — one in the gjin. Freshie days were soon forgotten; Sixty-three returned to learn That we were called the Brilliant Sophs, Not the Freshies who wouldn ' t burn. At Blosser ' s Park we had a party. Just before Commencement Day; And oh, the eats — they were delicious! We were happy and quite gay. Now to Juniors we have risen; Some again have lost our trail, ' But the rest still keep on striving. Ever hoping not to fail. Our Junior Class displayed its talent With an annual Junior play; From far and near, the folks attended; It was quite fine, they say. Soon we ' ll be the noble Semors And our tasks will pass away; Our rewards shall be diplomas On our grand Commencement Day. Though sometimes things are not so easy, Some day life will be quite fine; We ' ll strive on and still remember We ' re the Class of Twenty-nine.

It was the be- ginning of my school life in Nappanee, and I had never been in the High School building before. I was fortunate in obtaining a good seat in the assembly. On that momentous Monday — or Tuesday morning the faculty handed out slips of paper having on them numbers and opposite them the name of a study. Since my slip did not have a number one of five on it I asked I Ir. Abell about it. He explained that I was to remain in the Assembly those periods. That suited me fine as I had a study period in the forenoon and one in the afternoon. Due to the strangeness of the building, I had some difficulty in finding my classrooms. I usually asked someone where a certain room was but even then I had some trouble locating the room before the bell rang and even succeeded in getting into several Senior classes, etc. I found that I liked my teachers for they were always ready to help me in every way they could. Among all important events of my High School life, I believe I shall always remember the first day in High School. John Johnson ' 31. MY FIRST WEEK IN HIGH SCHOOL The first day of school, my pal and 1 hurried to school bright and early to get front seats, but when we arrived, we found them already taken. Finally we secured seats among a whole row of boys. If you will remember, it was exceedingly warm that first week. I didn ' t have much pep and it was hard to get interested in my studies. I had been used to much easier work, so the long assignments seemed un- bearable but I finally came to the conclusion that High School was much dift ' erent and more advanced, and 1 couldn ' t expect to loaf. Having only one new teacher to get acquainted with it wasn ' t so hard, although there sere many new students to learn to know. Recit- ing in classes helped much in learning their names and personalities. After the first week of school, I felt quite well acquainted and to my joy I really was beginning to like High School.

Page E ghty-l-iro 1928 __®4g) apctitd WHAT TO DO WITH OLD GUM Every year many tons of chewing gum ai-p consumed, or at least masticated in the United States. Our economists now reahze that if this habit continues for a few years more the entire continental United States will become completely gummed up, and the surplus gum will overflow cur borders and inundate the hitherto friendly provinces of Canada, Mexico, etc., causing general devastation. Cium is not in the same class as candy: that is, it does not perish in the using as the lawyers say. Crum is virtually indestructible and everlasting; no matter how lasting its flavor it does lose its savor after being chewed several months, but its substance is still there and it has to be reckoned with. The confirmed gum chewer then usually seeks seme good place to park his old wad, prepai-atory to investing in a fresh supply to woi ' k on. If he is a conscientious citizen, a person who is fully alive to his duty to posterity, he will find some method of disposing of the obsolete cud so that it will not crop up at some futui ' e time to plague his fellow men. If he is a reckless individual, he will probably consign the faithful eld vet to the under side of a table, a chair, a church pew, a school desk, or some such article where though it may be lost to sight and remain to memory dear it is liable at any time to attach itself to the person of some innocent third party and start on a new cycle of life. The gum chewers should be urged to exercise meticulous caution when they come to dispose of their exhausted gum, and see to it that said gum shall not regurgitate or recrudesce on society, to the hurt thereof. A leading citizen offered a series of prizes for the best ways to dis- pose of and utilize gum wads after they have survived the allotted span of chewing time. Here are some of the prize winning suggestions : Have Uncle Sam collect all the old gum and use it on his postage stamps to make them stick better. Warm it and smear it around the house, to catch roaches, ants, flies, mosquitoes, agents and other pests. Use it to mend stockings, umbi ' ellas, auto tops, leakj pipes, boats, etc. Give it to babies and mothers-i)i-law to pacify them. Roll it into sheets and sell as linoleum, congoleum or some other kind of oleum. 1928 Page Eighty-three Napanct Use it to ve-tread worn-out auto tires. Dissolve it in trinitromonadicedestermethylene and use it for paint : also for staycomb cement to keep the hair in place. Have girls roll their stockings with it to keep them up, thus sav- ing the high cost of gartering. Apply it hot on a plaster for toothaches. Put it in bread to make it go farther. Use it to insulate the lead-in wires of radio sets. Give it to hens to chew in winter, to keep them interested and give them exercise, so they will lay for you. Make our demagog politicians chew it, to stop their talking. ilake it up into everlasting baseballs, golf balls, etc. Will Rogers thinks this business of reclaiming gum would be a better proposition than being President. He estimates that every seat in every movie theater will yield a pint of gum every two days — some only just slightly used, and he proposes to organize a company to be known as the Remodeled Chewing Gum Corporation to handle the ma- terial and market it. He suggests that old gum might be used as a substi- tute for concrete or to dam rivers. Cut from The Pathfinder Gladys Hepler ' 28. Page Eirjhfy-four 1928 K y Weyeand cipctllBt SOCIETY NOTES FRESHMAN YEAR Probably one of the greatest reasons for our wanting to pass from the eighth grade to the Freshman year was the thought of tlie social fetes that come with it, but alas try to imagine our disappointment when we learned that under classmen were allowed only one party a year. If we were allowed only one party, we decided that it must be a success. The result was a wienie roast at the Community Park. Just as our fire was beginning to burn brightly it started to rain. But rain could not dampen our spirits, and we finished the party in the Community Building. All reported a good time, at and from the party. We were invited to the High School Hallowe ' en party, at which we at- tended a hundred strong, feeling very smart, yet rather shy. Words cannot express our feelings, when at graduation we could blossom out in all our finery and sit in the best Looking box. SOPHOMORE YEAR One of the most outstanding events of our Sophomore year was a skating party at Blosser ' s Park. And did we skate? We understand that the manager paid Ervie a small sum for mopping the floor. But then Ervie couldn ' t help it if both skates took the notion to go in opposite directions at the same time. We had heaps of fun, but oh my, the after effects ! JUNIOR YEAR Our Junior year was so filled with plans for reception that we nearly forgot about a party, but lest a year pass without a party, a class meeting was called to decide on one. Myrtle Burgener invited us to her home for a wienie roast. Did we accept? You bet we did. And do bumpy roads create an appetite? (Ask Fritz Gulp; he knows.) After playing games until we were completely worn out, we journeyed homeward. The Junior-Senior Reception, the Big Event of the year was un- questionably a success, thanks to Anne. 1928 Page Eifjhtif-jir e G . ®0 ' apauct 0 SPECIAL EVENTS ANNOUNCEMENT PARTY At a party March 9, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. 0.

DUELL-CULBERSON The marriage of Miss Luella Duell of Fort Wayne, Indiana, instruc- tor in the Nappanee Schools, to Mr. George Culberson of Muncie, Indiana, took place December 24. at Pittsburg, Pennsylvania. GIRL RESERVE PARTY The excess energy of the G. R. ' s must be utilized in some way. A party was the solution. And as there are so many g-ood cooks in the club, a iwtluck supper was the final word. Miss Parks, the Elkhart Girl Reserve Advisor, and a few of her club girls were guests. A short business meet- ing was held after supper and the remainder of the evening was spent in playing games. G. R. AND HI-Y BANQUET The G. R. and Hi-Y banquet last year was such a great success that the clubs decided to have another this year. February 14 was chosen for the time, and the Methodist Church for the place of the event. The tables were decorated, suggestive of St. Patrick ' s Day. Toastmistress Margaret Mullett and Toastmaster Douglas Price had an interesting program ar- ranged. Vocal solos were given by Jeannette Arch and Eldon Miller, and short talks, explaining the points of character were given by Mr. Quinn, Virginia Coppes, Ellsworth Rood, Esther Hoover, Wayne Best, Marjorie Guiss, Raymond Heplei-, and Miss Dickey.

The boys heard some very helpful and inspiring lectures. They visited points of interest to and from the Conference among which were the Tippecanoe Battle Ground, The Enlarged Dam, Prophet Rock, which Harter Wright was found trying to move, and Longcliff Sanitarium, where it was feared that a few would have to stay. But all arrived home safely with enough enthusiasm to set the world on fire. G. R. CEREMONIAL The G. R. Ceremonial was held December 1, at which time fifteen new members were formally taken into the club. The mothers and friends of the girls were guests, and pronounced the service very impressive and beautiful. After the ceremonial games were played, and refreshments were served. SOPHOMORE CLASS PARTY A skating party. Ah! That sounded interesting to this lively bunch of Sophomores. So to Blosser ' s Park they did fly. My, how they enjoyed to skate, and to watch their class advisors. Miss Lantz and Mr. Martin, try to skate! It is told that Pete had great difficulty in trying to keep his skates from coming together. This lively bunch were not nearly so lively the next day. FRESHMAN CLASS PARTY The Freshmen held their first and only class party November 9, at the high school gymnasium. Fifty members were present with their advisors Mrs. Bartholomew and Mr. Trabue. This hilarious group en- joyed rollicking games and delicious refreshments, and only by turning out the lights could they be persuaded to adjourn. 1928 Page Eighty-seven g --X- 0 apam-t SENIOR YEAR As Seniors we started the society ball rolling when we staged a party at Alma Anglin ' s, as a result of a contest for bringing in dues. Mr. Quinn and Mr. and Mrs. 0. J. Yoder very ably chaperoned the party. After we had devoured all the wienies that were in sight we played games, directed by Fat Stahly (the boy with the tenor voice.) Everyone present had a good time. After a very urgent request from a certain Senior boy we decided to invite the Junior class to a Hallowe ' en party at the Community Building. Wayne Best and Chester McCuen, who came as a giant, carried off the prize given to the most cleverly dressed person. Everyone found amuse- ment in the appropriate Hallowe ' en games and the contests between the two classes. Refreshments were then served. The crowd dispui ' sed as soon as the punch bowl had been emptied. We are looking forward to our last and greatest social event, the banquet given to us by the Juniors.

ATHLETICS It is found that many of our prominent business men have at one time of their Hfe been good athletes in certain branches of this sturdy, but clean recreation. These individuals are at present advancing cleaner and more sportsmanlike competition. Physical training is the background of all athletics. It produces a sound body, good health and advances the vitality in every way possible. Athletes must be in condition the entire year if they wish to bring them- selves to the peak of their ability. Thus physical training is one of the best methods for this purpose on account of its building and limbering-up qualities. In producing great teams of any kind there should be a place for spectators as well as for the players. This is to give the same enthusiasm to the entire school body that the players have, but this cannot be done without sufficient seating capacity of which Nappanee High School is lacking. But the future seems to look very good and it is hoped that Nap- panee will advance as it has in the past five or six years. Nappanee stepped on the gas a little hard this year and entered the big fifteen. This is an official league of fifteen cities of Northern In- diana, organized to produce a more systematic method of competition. The rules of this league demand the highest kind of sportsmanship and good will. Nappanee with real support should come through next year ' s athletics with its colors flying. 1928 Pape Eighty-nine |C i: ® apauct First row: D. Price, Phillips, Sheets, Mullett, Coppes.

To him sportsmanship is one of the biggest points of the game. He has put a char- acteristic touch upon his team that cannot fail to show his all round ability. WAYNE BEST Ervie Wayne has played on the first team three years during which time he has been a very valuable and popular member. He showed marked ability in his position as guard, although not so swift on his feet, he makes up this by his accurate calculation of the plays of his opponents. He will be greatly missed for next year ' s games. Faijf Sinety 1928 Hpani t THEODORE PRICK Ted Theodore was a very good center and could always be counted on for very hard work. His scoring and jumping ability made him a very much feared player. The team will be without his services next year for he is a Senior. DOUGLAS PRICE , Doc Douglas succeeded in making the first team in his Junior year and proved to be a valuable member. He was a very fast and clever forward. He also played a good game at center. The team will lose him, due to graduation. JOHN COPPES Cop John played forward on this year ' s team and did some very good basket shoot- ing. His ability to make long shots gave our team some very close games. He was also a very good defense player. John is another player who graduates and thus he will not be on the team next season. THOMAS PINKERMAN Tom Thomas was one of the forwards who could always be relied upon to play the best basket ball that he knew how to play. In many games his guarding kept the op- posing players in constant worry. This is Tom ' s last year on the team. CHARLES SHEETS Chuck Charles was always ready to step in and help win a game. He had ability to make long shots and also did good passing to the forwards. Chuck graduates this year and so the school loses the scrappiest player on the team. HOMER BAUMGARTNER Homer Homer was one of our star players. A great change of pace combined with ■ome excellent dribbling and basket shooting made him a valuable player. As he is only a Junior this year, he should be a great help to the Blue and White in the year to come. 1928 Page Ni-nety-o ' tte CARLYLE MULLETT Curly Carlyle is one of the tirst team players who will be back one more year to make the Xappanee Basket Ball team a winning five. Curly is fast and also an ac- curate shooter, which with a little improvement will make him a very valuable player next year. IRA PHILLIPS Ike Ike played with the second team most of the year and he did such good drib- bling and head work that Mr. Longfellow put him on the first team as a sub. He has two years left to play for the N. H. S. LESTER McCUEN Let Lester played on this year ' s team as a sub, but he has another year in which to make good. The ability to make his high looping shots drop through the basket will certainly come in handy. HAROLD KLINGAMAN Kling Harold proved to be a very good sub. He did very good playing at center and deserves much credit for his loyal spirit to the old Blue and White. NEWEL TROUP Newie Xewel is one of the promising young men for ne.xt year ' s team, and after next year he has another chance to be still better. He was forward on this year ' s second team.

The Nappanee Second Team, by winning seventeen out of nineteen games, had the most successful season of any second team in the school history. They won the annual second team tournament by putting out Goshen, Millersburg and Elkhart. These boys are all under-classmen and great things are expected of them.

It was the dedication of their new gymnasium and we were proud to have the honor of playing the first game. The Blue and White team staged a comeback as the second period began after having been outplayed in the first half 11 to 7. Nappanee received the majority at a 16 to 1.5 score and from that point on it was a close guarding affair with the lead changing from one side to the other, until D. Price caged the shot that sent the Naps into a 21 to 20 advantage %vith only two minutes left to play. Neither team being able to change the score during the thrilling end of a great battle, the victorious Naps carried home the bacon. ' ' Nappanee 3.5 Goshen 38 Nappanee had to take a defeat from its old antagonist this year. The Naps how- ever proved themselves to be a very strong team. Goshen did not forget it. Although Goshen was in the lead at the end of the first half, the undaunted Naps fought on per- sistently until the score was tied at twenty-eight. Goshen however forged ahead to take a lead of nine points, then Nappanee started their drive, but were stopped by the gun with only three points to go. Nappanee 37 New Paris 36 The Naps had a tough fight with New Paris, but nevertheless the Blue and White won by a neck after a hard battle. Nappanee led at the half by only a few points, but during the first ten minutes of the second period they worked up a comfortable margin. Although the game seemed to be cinched for the Naps, New Paris was still fighting hard. They put in a few long shots, then one or two from the side and the situation did not look so good for Nappanee. At this point the struggle really began and lasted until the gun banged away and Nappanee was declared the winner by one lone point. ELKHART DEFEATS NAPPANEE IN SECTIONAL Nappanee 18 Elkhart 19 The most exciting game of the tournament was staged between Elkhart and Nappanee. The Elkhart Blue Blazers fighting an up hill struggle to emerge victorious by one point, after trailing at 3 to 10 in the first half, and 8 to 10 at the half. Hard playing was the main characteristic of this battle which was somewhat of an up set ' ' as the Naps had defeated and outplayed the Elkhart team in a regular season game. Both teams showed a powerful defense at the very start and T. Price finally tipped in a shot that put the score a t 2 to 0. Johnson was called for holding and Baumgartner made the free throw good, and a few moments later caged a semi-short goal for a 5 to lead. The half ended in the Naps ' favor, but in the second frame they lost it and never succeeded to catch up again. With less than a minute to play both teams made a goal apiece in quick succession to put a final touch to the great battle. NAPPANEE TAKES THHiD IN STATE FOUL SHOOTING CONTEST During the past year the athletic heads of the state i)ut forth an effort to find the best foul shooting team and also player. Nappanee took third place in this con- test, thus showing that it had the fundamentals and necessary material for this new tvr)e of basket ball.

Dillard Lehman won the singles championship by defeating Lester McCuen in the finals 8-6 and 6-3. In the doubles Carlyle Yarian and Ellsworth Rood won the championship by defeating Douglas Price and Raymond Hepler 7-5 and 6-3. The members of the team are: Dillard Lehman, Lester McCuen, Carlyle Yarian, Ellsworth Rood, Russel Orn and Chester McCuen. Nappanee at Elkhart The Nappanee tennis team was defeated at Elkhart by the score of 3-1. Carlyle Yarian was the only player to win and he did so by defeating Berkhardt .5-7, 6-1 and 6-4. Elkhart at Nappanee Elkhart won this match by a .5 to score. The sets for the most part were very close but not in the Naps favor. The courts were somewhat soft, thus making the play very difficult. Tennis Notes Nappanee will play one match vnth Elkhart and two with Goshen during the spring season. The team also has the privilege to enter several tournaments in the big fifteen. About thirty boys came out for tennis this year. This is a very good average, but could be made much better if the school as a whole would show more interest.

JOSEPH TRACK MEET Xappanee did not show up very well, mainly because of the stiff opposition from the larger members of the big fifteen. The Naps received one point in the meet by taking third place in the 220 low hurdles. This point was won by Harter Wright. THE GOSHEN RELAYS The Naps obtained two points, due to the success of Harter Wright and Gerald Stahly. Harter took third in the 220 low hurdles, while Gerald grabbed third place in the 440 yard run. Elkhart won this meet.

For ten years she has sojourned in Athens, where she has been perfecting her knowledge of Greek. She has just signed a fifteen-year con- tract with Wittenberg Uni- versity as Professor of Greek. However at the ex- piration of this contract she intends to retire from the teaching profession and travel in China, Japan, and other Oriental countries and perhaps learn their lan- guages as a pastime. Personals iVIr. and Mrs. John Wes- ley Trabue have just left for Washington, D. C, on the Capitol Limited. Mr. Trabue has been called there to assist in framing a new Constitution of the United States. Court News Miss Wilma Abell is bringing suit against the manufacturers of Lucky Strike cigarettes. She claims they caused the loss of her million dollar voice. The trial will be held early next year. Miss Abell has engaged Lawyer Lester McCuen of South Bend, who feels certain she will win the case. Professor John Stauffer, who was to lecture Friday night on What to Eat, was unable to fill his ap- pointment on account of a severe attack of indiges- tion.

Lantz ; Vice- President, Nada Wright; Secretary, Anna A. Iffert; Treasurer, Mildred Shively. It is interesting to note that these capable officers were all instructors in Nappanee High School, back in the late twenties. In the election last week there were 782 votes cast; 574 Republicans, 156 Demo- crats, and fifty-two women. The city is planning on building a fine new skating rink to seat three thousand people.

She had long been the apple of my eye and I thought that we would make a lovely pear. My friend told me that she was a peach, but my brother said she was a lemon. Not caring a fig, I raised a few ber- ries and got a date. She would turn those cherry lips upward and whisper, Now lettuce be nice! I managed to argue, Oats all right, but said she didn ' t carrot didn ' t happen in the best regulated fami- lies. It seemed nuts to me but I felt myself squashed. However, I finally decided that she must have been a grapefruit, for everytime I squeezed her I got it in the eye. It was really a fruitless task. Bootlegger: Do you ever take a drink? Stranger: No, I never drink. Bootlegger: Then hold this bottle till I tie mv shoe. The wealthy friend of the family had come on a very formal call, and was trying her best to be nice . . .
