FF And now, in our Senior year forty-six have returned to complete their course. Three of our members, LaDoris Yeater, Edna Gooch and Lawrence Yeater, graduated from the New Paris High School this spring, and Willa Walker graduated from a high school in Defiance, Ohio. Madge Miller was added to our list this year. We again chose Lester for our president. Mr. Yoder and Mr. Abell are our class sponsors. Our class has been well represented in the athletic activities as well as in the band, orchestra, glee club, and music memory. The play The Geniusw was presented. We were splendidly entertained by the Juniors. Our course has not all been a bed of roses nor has it been all thorns. We have tried to deserve our diplomas. To you, who have fallen from our list, we are sorry that you cannot enjoy commencement with us. We feel that you have missed a goal worth striving for. This completes our class history. That which we are now awaiting is graduation. Tomorrow we will have left Nappanee High School, and our places will be taken by the underclassmen. These treasured days will have gone but they will not be forgotten. They are written in our Golden Book of Memories and even Father Time cannot erase them. We are reminded of one hundred years ago of the famous class of '29 when Holmes and many other prominent men were graduated from Har- vard. We hope that from our list will arise similar geniuses. We hope that the future will not disunite us from our classmates but this is only a class history and you must consult our prophetess concern- ing our future. Helen Frederick '29 1929

In September, nineteen hundred and twenty-five, a group of seventy- three students, seeking more knowledge, entered Nappanee High School and were named the Class of '29. Regardless of the tortures inflicted upon us by the more experienced students, we thoroughly enjoyed our Freshman year. We were permitted to attend the high school Hallowe'en party and we had two parties of our own: one, a picnic in the baseball park and the other in the gym. Mr. Trabue was our class advisor, Chester McCuen was president, Wilma Abell, vice president. and Helen Frederick, secretary-treasurer. Sixty-two returned for our Sophomore year. It was a pleasant sen- sation to hear the underclassmen called green rather than us. Mr. Trabue was again selected to be our advisor with the assistance of Mrs. Bartholomew. Chester was reelected president, his twin, Lester, was elected vice president and Helen Frederick was again secretary-treasurer. We had a skating party at Blosser's park during commencement week. Then came the Junior year with less leisure than before. We selected Lester to be our captain, Chester, assistant, Maxine Wright, treasurer, and Julia Welty, secretary. Miss Iffert and Mr. Longfellow were our class advisors. On December 13, we gave the play Miss Somebody Else and were well pleased with the results. Then we gave the Seniors and the faculty a Japanese reception. Geisha girls from the class of '30 were our waitresses. We had two parties at Blosser's park and would have enjoyed another. The Seniors entertained us at a Hallowe'en party at the park. Our Junior class enrollment was fifty-seven. Ruth Weber, Kathryn Knobel, Launa Beechley, and Howard Field became new members of the class. Y Page Twenty-six 1
