The Napanet1'933 We were splendidly entertained at the reception given by the Iunior Class at the Coppes Hotel. ' On the twenty-seventh of May, we reached the climax of our school career for the thirty-nine members of our Senior class received their diplomas. We have not completed our high school course without overcoming many dif- ficulties, but the friendships and associations and the many good times we have had together have far surpassed those difficulties. Now that we have finished these four years of training, our places will be taken by the under-classmen. These treasured days have gone, but they will not be for- gotten, for there are memories that even Father Time cannot erase. Class Plays During our high school career, we presented two plays. The first one, Second Childhood, was given during our Iunior year in the City Auditorium on April 30, 1931. The next play, Dulcg, was presented in our Senior year on May 4, 1932. Both plays were very successful. We contribute this success to our directress, Miss Briggs. SECOND CHILDHOOD DULCY Cast Cast Prof. Frederick Relyea .......... Glen Field Gordon Smith ....... . ......

The N.apanet 1933 1932 Class History Q In 1920 a number of small boys and girls were brought to school by their proud parents, and were enrolled in the first grade as the Class of '32. These small chil- dren gradually grew and every year they advanced one step nearer to the time when they would enter high school. Finally, after eight long years of waiting the time ar- rived, the pupils received their report cards, and on them was written these three wonderful words, Promoted to Freshman . Ah! Many were the proud parents who read these words. At last their little children were in high school. So in the fall of 1928 fifty-live pupils entered the doors of that wonderful institu- tion of learning, Nappanee High School. Of course these pupils were very tim- orous because those of us who had older -brothers had heard rumors of what the ter- rible upper classmen would do to us. These Freshmen, realizing that they must 'have organization if they were to hold off this almost certain disaster, met and elected Mr. Roose, who had taken pity on us, and Miss Smith as our advisors. These two notables talked to us on the char- acter and the standards of the pupils we should elect for our officers. So we elected Lowell Mullett to be our chief officer with Robert Miller as his assistant, Glen Field was made secretary-treasurer. At a later class meeting, we selected the red rose as our flower and red and white for our class colors. We decided to get two pennants rather than one large one, so the secretary ordered two very pretty pennants. Of course, everybody needs a signboard for commencement, so we had the local electrician fix us a nice signboard with the board of white and the electric bulbs of red. Very few of our number failed to make the necessary grades in the final ex- amination for the year, which fact only adds to our fame. So we separated for the summer vacation. But to our surprise only fifty-two returned for our Sophomore year in high school. We came early on that beautiful fall day in 1929 because we planned on getting our revenge on the new freshmen. How- ever, all of them seemed to have been warned because they all remained in the as- sembly, or close to some teacher. This year we elected Charles Lehman, Wava Miner and Robert Miller as our officers and Mr. Byers and Miss Shively as our advisors. The principal class party was held at Blosser's Park. Despite the many falls and collisions, no one was killed, but several were slightly injured. We parted for the summer, but all of us planned to come back unless something happened. Then when school did start we found we had lost only five from our ranks. When we came back we were forty-seven strong. We elected Charles Lehman, president: Robert Miller, vice presidentg and Glen Field, secretary-treasurer. This year Mr. Byers and Miss Rosenberry were our ad- visors. In November we held a theatre party at South Bend. As Mr. Byers was not able to accompany us, Mr. Goodrich went instead. We selected Second Childhood as our class play. The characters in this play were excellent and showed real talent. We also gave the Seniors and faculty a very presentable reception at the Cop- pes flotel In September of 1931 we returned to school as dignified l?j seniors. Ah! How important we felt, and how insignificant were the under classmen. The first thing we did was to select class officers. Charles Lehman was chosen president, Robert Miller, vice president, Vivian Eppley, secretary, and LaVerne Miller, treasurer. We had a progressive party late in the fall. First we went to Iohn Stahly's for a wiener roast, -then to Harold Umbaugh's where refreshments were served, and finallyi to Iulia Blosser's where the evening was spent playing games. This year we presented the play Dulcy . This one, as well as the one in our Iunior year, was a great success. 4 C197
