THE NAPANET 1935 Diph Ho ojiia Hour The graduating class of 1935 numbers 48. There are 21 boys and 27 girls. October is the most popular month for this class. Nine were born in October; five in August and September; four in February, March, May, and December. June and January have only two birthdays each. No birthdays fall on important holidays. One graduate celebrates December 31. Two graduates celebrate March 2nd, two August 14th, and two October 1st. In two of these cases the pupils are of exact age. According to Indiana custom, most pupils enter school near the age of six years, and spend twelve years in school, providing they complete high school; hence the average student graduating in 1935 should have been born in 1917. Of this class 37 were born in 1917; three were born in 1918 and the other eight before 1917. Four pupils have completed the work in eleven years, due to grade grouping in rural school, or skipping a year. The average age of the boys of this class is 18 years, one month, eleven days. The average age of the girls of this class is 17 years, 10 months, 23 days. The boys are two months and two days younger than the boys of last year and exactly the same average age as the boys of 1933. The girls are one month and 11 days younger than the girls of last year and the youngest group since 1929. Both the oldest and the youngest of this class are boys. The youngest is Sam Brumbaugh — age 17 years and 15 days. Of the 84 pupils in the first grade in Nappanee in 1923, twenty-two are here on the stage tonight. 56 have either dropped out of high school or moved away; one graduated last year and five are still in school. Willodene Walters graduated last year. Robert Reed graduated from Middlebury, and Robert Wilson will graduate from Riley High School of South Bend this spring. This indicates that only about 30% of those who entered twelve years ago have or will graduate. Seventeen members of this class have been absent less than seven days during the first seven semesters in high school. To Madlin Hamsher goes first honors for attendance, as she has a perfect record. Stanley Berger and Fern Pippen have each missed one-half day. George Knobel has missed only one day. The others who have missed less than seven days are; Francis Berlin, Kathryn Gall, Wayne Strycker, Carol- dean Dumph, Fern Geyer, Dale Christner, John Crawford, Marvin Brumbaugh, Phyllis Callander, Dorothy Arnott, Evelyn MuUett, Kenneth Crowe, and Opal Miller. Fern Geyer is the Valedictorian. Marvin Brumbaugh is the Salutatorian. Commencement in Civic Auditorium, May 24. TWELVE
