ELEVEN THE N A P A N E T 1936 Diploma Hour The graduating class of 1936 numbers 63. There are 31 boys and 32 girls, the largest class to have been graduated from Nappanee High School. June is the most popular month and December the least popular. Eleven students celebrate birthdays in June, nine in October, three in November and two in December. The rest of the birthdays are almost equally scattered during the other eight months. One pair of real twins celebrate May 2nd. Two graduates celebrate February 8th, two October 21st, two November 9th, and three October 10th. With one exception, these pairs are of the same age. Fifty-one of the graduates were born in 1918, seven in 1917, two in 1916, and three in 1919. The three babies of the class are Norma Pippenger, Elta Holaway, and Dorothy Hatfield—Norma being the youngest, age 17 years and 15 days. The average age of the boys is 18 years, 0 months, 13 days. The average age of the girls is 18 years, 0 months, M days. This is a low average for boys graduating from our high school. There has been only one younger group (1931) during the past eleven years. The girls are younger than four other groups of girls during the past eleven years. Ninety children were enrolled in the first grade during the year 1924-25. Of those ninety, thirty-six are on the platform tonight, seventeen are still in high school, and we hope will be graduated later. The other thirty-nine have either moved away or dropped out of school. Eighteen of these graduates are classed as rural while forty-five live in Nappanee. The attendance of this class has been exceptionally good. A few have had bad luck during their senior year. Donald Miller and John Phillips had perfect records until this last year. First honors for attendance go to Evelyn Christner who has been neither tardy nor absent. Second honors go to Bessie Adams who was never absent, but tardy once. Other seniors who missed four days or less during four years are: Dorothy Dumph, James Richcreek, Harold Kring, Margaret Rehrer, Elta Holaway, and Virginia Slabaugh. Robert Callander is Valedictorian. Kenneth Curtis is Salutatorian. Commencement is at the Civic Auditorium, May 22, 1936.

It seems to us that the wheels of time would have apparently slipped several cogs in its revolution did we not dwell for some time on the influence exerted on the world at large, and Nappanee High School in particular, by a notable class—the class of 1936. In September 1931, over sixty small charges were turned loose in this cold, harsh, world of N. H. S. They strayed about the House of Knowledge apparently unnoticed, for they were merely freshmen. After electing their officer, with Kenneth Curtis as president, and Elta Holaway, secretary-treasurer, they quietly slipped into the back seats to content themselves for the rest of the year, gazing at the seniors. However, one evening, they did divert their gaze to a skating party. The next September we. as sophomores, entered again. Realizing the dignity of our position, we soon organized. We elected Elta Holaway, president, and Noel Howenstein, secretary-treasurer. This done, we tried to aid the freshmen in getting acquainted with N. H. S. Our only entertainment was a skating party. We progressed so rapidly that by the end of the year we were able to strut up and down the aisles of the Assembly as carelessly as a senior. We began our junior year by electing the following officers: Robert DeBow. president, and Kenneth Curtis, secretary-treasurer. We soon discovered that this was to be our busiest year thus far in our high school career, because of the Junior-Senior Reception. In fact, we were so busy making invitations, favors, etc., that we had no time for a party. Our reception was a great success and we felt greatly rewarded for our efforts. Last September, we returned suddenly to realize that we were on the last lap of our high school career, and that we would soon be gliding out into the world. We elected Eugene Yarian president, and retained our secretary from last year. Early in the season we decided we wanted to publish the Napanet and many of the seniors have been diligently working on it since then in order to make it a complete success. Our last days in N. H. S. have passed in a glorious whirl. We have been well represented in athletics, music, and the play, Junior Sees It Through, and have been successful in each one. It is said that history repeats itself, but we wonder whether such another four years can ever be repeated as those passed by the class of 36 in N. H. S. -—Elta Holaway. Class Will We, the Senior Class of 1936, being at the point of taking our various positions in the Stratosphere of Life, and having no longer any desire for our High School peculiarities, do hereby bequeath the following: I. To the Class of 1937, the first two rows of gum-laden and pencil-marred seats in the assembly. To the Class of 1938, our long forgotten motto, “We can because we think we can. To the Class of 1939, our sincerest sympathies, realizing the hard work you have ahead of you. T WKNTY-ONK THE N A P A N E T 1936 II.

Junior Class History After having gone through the entire season of the seventh and eighth grades practically undefeated, our team started on a seemingly harder schedule in our freshman year. Our captain was Norma Metzler. with the assistant captain, Hobert Blosser. Welbourne Tooker led the rooters in the Yell for class dues. The team chose as their colors, yellow and black, and the yellow rose as flower. They decided to carry out the motto, “It is better to have tried and failed than never to have tried. The team came through with a high score and after calling time out and having a short rest period they came in with more vigor with which to defeat the new enemy. Sophomore. We chose our captain, Robert Wise, and assistant captain, Carol Clouse. Hobert Blosser was elected the center to get our class dues. The schedule was climaxed by the team's calling time out for a class party. Looking forward to conquering the new foe. Junior, we elected Robert Shively captain and Carol Clouse, assistant. Realizing the responsibility of the manager of our funds we re-elected Hobert Blosser. Of course, a team as large as ours needs trainers so we elected the following members to represent us in the student council: Freshmen: Inez Stahly, Everett Stouder. Sophomore: Gerald Mullett, Harold Strycker, June Dumph. Junior: Norma Metzler, Richard Stuckman. James Weygand. The coaches for our team are a great part in our success.

Sophomore Class History We, the class of nineteen thirty-eight, have begun a new journey this year. We have given our ship, ''Education”, a new company. We elected for our ship s officers: President: Charles Holderman—Captain. Vice President: Donald Cleveland—First Mate. Secretary and Treasurer: Donnabelle Farrington—Second Mate. Student Council: Martha Chamberlin, Isabelle Moore, Elmo Phend—Stewards. During the year we have had sorrow and happiness among our crew of sixty. We have lost two of our best workers, Lawrence Swihart, and Eugene Field, whose deaths gave great grief to us. Since last year we have lost approximately sixteen of our crew who have started a new journey on other new ships. We are proud to have one member of our crew on first team in basket ball this year and others looking forward to it next year. Four of our girls are librarians, and a number of our girls belong to G. A. A.; also a number joined the Girl Reserves this year and are working for a pin. We have one member of our crew, a girl, who is on the debating team of the school. Some sophomores also are members of the Hi-Y organization. Band, and the Glee Club. We have had no parties aboard other than the individual parties of the different classes, because our voyage ended before we expected. Land Ho! We. the class of nineteen thirty-eight have ended another voyage nearer our goal, Education.” —Donnabelle Farrington.

Ruby Calbeck was elected president; Ralph Jerles. vice president; and Muriel Beresford. secretary and treasurer. Later. Muriel moved to Detroit and Lois Ruth Burns was chosen secretary-treasurer. Everette Gould was our Student Council member. We held our Hallowe'en party on October 25, in the gym. In the fall of 1935, seventy-eight students entered the first year of high school. How we looked forward to that day! Our officers are: President. Carlyle Frederick; vice president, Ruby Calbeck; secretary and treasurer. Catherine Mullett. This year, for the first year, we have two Student Council members. They are Gwendolyn McCormick and Tilson King. We are proud to have four basket ball players on the second team.

How well we remember the day. September 3. 1935. Sixty-three eight grade students walked proudly down the lower corridor completely ignoring the seventh grade pupils who felt as we did last year. This year we did not make so many mistakes, such as getting into the wrong classroom. We give part of this honor to our sponsors, Mrs. Swihart and Mr. Dickey, who aided us in many ways. In September, we held cur election of officers. Robert Mellinger was elected president: Devon Hall, vice president; Dorothy Holderman. student council member: and Mary Nola Roose, the secretary and treasurer of last year, was retained. Then came our skating party which was a great success, although we were a little worse from our bruised shins. In December, we heard the great news that there would be no exams. The shouts which greeted this announcement were vociferous. “Time Marches On! and now school will be over soon, but ever in our hearts there will linger memories of the good eighth grade! Next year will be, we hope, as good as this, even though we do lose Miss Heestand. We, the eighth grade, wish her the best in life as Mrs. Swihart! —Mary Teeter.

We elected class officers as follows: President—Robert Stump. Vice President—Jean Alice Mishler. Secretary—Carolyn Gentzhorn. Phyllis Kurtz was chosen to represent our class in the Student Council. We enjoyed a Hallowe'en party in the gym on Friday. October 25. 1935. It was a masquerade party, with Miss Kivett and Mr. Best as our sponsors. Several games were played and enjoyed by all. In a contest for sale of Red Cross Christmas seals, the seventh grade was high for our building. Bottom Picture Seventh Grade THIRTY-THREE 19 3 6 THE NAl’ANET The Stratosphere The stratosphere is an intensely cold, cloudless layer of rarefied air where the temperature remains practically constant. Above it is the Kennelly-Heaviside layer which reflects radio waves; below is the troposphere, the belt of ordinary air in which life exists. The first ascent into the stratosphere for a scientific purpose was made by Professor A. Berson and Doctor A. J. Suring, in 1901. An altitude of 35.■440 feet was reached. This trip was made for the purpose of studying the changes in temperature and pressure in the upper air. In 1931, Prof. Auguste Piccard rose to 51.790 feet, and in 1933, to 53,153 feet. His main purpose of ascending into the stratosphere was to study cosmic rays and other phenomena in this belt of air. Not long ago a non-stop flight was attempted in the stratopshere. After taking off, they dropped the landing gear from the plane. The flight was only partially successful, but it has opened up new possibilities in air transportation. If successfully executed, stratosphere Hying may become a future means of air travel. Because of small density of the air, there is less wind resistance, thus allowing greater speed to be obtained. In future years large air transports may carry much in the world’s trade, thus there will be a need for more room in the air. Airplane travel may become universal, as the automobile has in recent years. If that occurs, greater flying space will be needed; thereby causing pilots to seek higher altitudes for commercial lines. Some scientists believe that there are waves in this higher region of air space that cause people to grow old. Also, there is the theory that somewhere in this space lie all the sounds that have ever been made. Some day scientists may find methods to prevent these rays from reaching the earth, thus prolonging life. Also we may bring to earth again all the sounds that have occurred since the world began. —Leonard Clark. THIRTY-FOUR THE N A P A N E T 1936 First Row: ;. C. Roose, (sponsor).

Schuler as originator and sponsor. The purpose of this organization is to boost” any worthy cause. The membership is limited to five seniors and four juniors. Each year members are appointed to replace those iost by graduation. The meetings are held every two weeks during ordinary times and once a week during the basket ball season. Special meetings may be called for pressing business. The officers are president, vice president, and secretary-treasurer. These officers are elected after the new members have been appointed. The Club helps take care of basket ball spectators by ushering. They also sponsor inter-class tourneys to benefit the club fund as no dues are required. Beginning with 1932. a gold basket ball is given to the boy who has the best average of foul shots made out of all foul attempts. In 1934, and thenceforth, silver and bronge awards were given for the second and third best averages. The awards made to date are as follows: Year Player Team Games Played Fouls Attempt.

Li! jrarians In 1931. a Book Markers” club was organized under the supervision of Miss Margaret Newby; now we have Mrs. Swihart as advisor. This club consisted of all the librarians and former librarians. It was for the purpose of helping the students find books and to keep the library in order. Last year the school bought a bookbinding kit and several students mended books that year. This year we have bought some new books and have had many books mended, so we think our library has been greatly improved this year.

In August, 1935, fifteen boys went on a two-day camping trip to Indian Hill, Syracuse Lake. In September seven freshmen boys were made Green Hands. During the months of November and December the boys held a past killing contest with the New Paris F. F. A. New Paris won and were entertained by the local Future Farmers. January, 1936, was a very busy month for the Future Farmers. During this month they gave a play at the meeting of the Farmers Institute. They also sent three delegates to the State F. F. A. Conference at Purdue University. As one of the major activities of the year the boys held their annual Father and Son Banquet which was a decided success. During the winter months the F. F. A. had a basket ball team, coached by Russel O'Neal, which played Future Farmer chapters from nearby towns. Five boys will be lost to the chapter by graduation. Meetings during the past year were held bi-weekly on Monday. —Hobert Blosser. FORTY-FIVE THE NAPANET 1936 Kirxt How: Margaret Rehrer, I aFernr Hall. Blta Holuway, Maurinc Wiseman. MIhh Lant .

Debate Team This is the first year that Nappanee High School has had debating as an extracurricular activity since 1911; and in that year only one debate was held, which was with Wakarusa. Debating was organized under the supervision of Kenneth Mitchell. Each Tuesday and Thursday evening was set aside for our meetings in Mr. Mitchell’s room. Since we had joined the Indiana State Debating League, we attended various conventions and tournaments. In the first part of December, Mr. Mitchell took six members of the organization to Purdue University to attend the annual debate conference. The entire group attended the debate tournament at Mishawaka, where we held practice debates with various schools. Six members of the group were also privileged to accompany Mr. Mitchell to Bloomington in January to attend another debate tournament. During the entire debate season, we held practice debates with various schools; among them were Riley and Central of South Bend, Columbia City, Knox. Crown Point, Wiley of Terra Haute and Mishawaka. On February 8 and 18 the district tournament sessions were held at Millersburg and Warsaw respectively. There we were made district champions by winning over Millersburg, Wakarusa and Warsaw. On February 29 the sectional tournament was held at Goshen, where we won over Wolcottville, but lost to Goshen; thus we were made inelligible to enter the state debate tournament. Members of the affirmative team were Elta North and Hobert Blosser and members of the negative team were Coralyce Stump and June Dumph. Other students who debated some during the year were Verda Hershberger, Alice Malcolm. Minerva Pletcher, and Welbourne Tooker. The question debated throughout the season was Resolved, That medical care be made available to all citizens at public expense.” l'ORTY-EIGHT — Elta North.

It was a comedy in which was introduced a romantic element.

I'm up so high that I can sec the entire United States! My pilot. GLEN SWIHART. has guided this balloon very carefully and has brought me to just the right spot. Just a minute, until I adjust my telescope, perfected by LEONARD CLARK. First, I turn it toward New York, the most glamorous city in the United States, where my gaze meets an orchestra. Whose orchestra? Why. the former Harmony Heavers of Nappanee. with DON MILLER directing. Who is that at the piano? None other than NOEL HOWENSTEIN. He always wanted to play in an orchestra. As I turn the telescope a little, I see in another ball room a young lady and gentleman singing. They appear somewhat familiar. Well! Well! It’s ESTHER PIPPEN and KENNETH CURTIS. That's a pretty coiffure Esther has. I wonder what beauty parlor she visited. Of course! There’s the KING and LEMNA Salon. Now, I see at the editor's desk of The New York Sun ROBERT GANGER. I knew he’d work his way up. While adjusting my telescope, I happen to spy a court room. Someone is speaking in a loud clear voice. I see! It's JOE HALAS. His practice in yell leading certainly helped him. Who's the judge in this case? CHARLES NEWCOMER! He worked his way up in a hurry, although he used to like to sleep in civics and economics classes. Ah! there's an amateur contest going on directed by MIRIAM GRASZ. I thought JIM RICHCREEK would have the job of ringing the gong, but it looks as if she's hired PAUL SECHRIST. I see the Metropolitan Opera Company has a new star, DOROTHY DUMPH. No wonder they have such large crowds. She has so much fan mail that her secretary. EVELYN DOERING, is busy day and night. My telescope now picks out a large Walgreen Drug Store where KATHRYN PLETCHER is the chief soda jerker. As I turn from New York to the west, my telescope picks up Washington. D. C. Who could live there whom I know? Aha! A great woman-leader in Congress; this Congress is made nearly all of women; they certainly are getting places in the world. But who is this great speaker? She speaks as if she had had training in debating. ELTA NORTH .... in politics! And there is her friend. LARA MAE STRAUSS, the most famous woman lawyer in America. As I move west. I turn my telescope on Indiana, good old Nappanee! First. I see a large farm and ROBERT CALLANDER, a typical farmer of 1945. I thought he'd learn to like it. He's even become president of the Farm Bureau. Right across the road lives LOWELL HERR. It's a wonder he stayed on the farm. Well! COPPES' Factory has changed to a textile factory, furnishing the products for the HATFIELD Clothiers. There’s a beautiful building; a church. Who's the minister? GERALD BLEILEj with his deep bass voice. Someone is playing the organ very softly just now. It must be HELEN STINE. The Huffman Bakery has plenty of competition; ROBERT DE BOW has become an expert baker due to the fine start he got in loading bread trucks in his high school days. FIFTY-TWO THE NAI’ANET 1936 Nappanee has grown larger and now has a large college. ELTA HOLAWAY is a dean in the college. I see JOE GE1L has become head janitor; I had thought he would become president of Western Union. Nappanee even has a new hospital. 1 see EVELYN KRONK is head nurse and her assistant is MELBA CULP...................... results of home economics. There's a doctor! What? LAMAR STAHLY! And a dietician is always required in a hospital. Sure! There’s MARY ALICE FARRINGTON. My telescope picks out someone taking a picture. I hope he has good luck. Of course he would have; BOB MOTTINGER had plenty of practice in his senior year taking pictures for the annual. Such a beautiful home! No wonder! JOSEPHINE MILLER lives there. She certainly made good on her new process of making silk stockings that won't run. BERNICE RUMMEL is her chief saleslady. Well, well! MARGARET REHRER and JEANETTE RICHMOND have taken over the Johnson Drug Store. I won't know Nappanee when I go back again. I see a young teacher singing and telling little children how to be canaries. I couldn't forget how RUTH ANN KNOX led our G. R.. although we weren't little tots. There's JOHNNY PHILLIPS delivering milk to the kiddies in the first four grades. Why! There's VIRGINIA SLABAUGH teaching the kindergarten which was started recently. Nappanee has a new library at last! And even a new librarian. MARGARET THOMAS always was interested in the school library and even in reading library books during school hours. Someone had car trouble and a mechanic has the engine torn apart. Does he know how to put it together again? Of course he does. It's CARL REED. What kind of a farm is that north of town? I'm sure I'm not mistaken, but it looks like a cat farm. How stupid of me! I might have known that would belong to CORALYCE STUMP. Now, I turn my telescope south of town; a car is driving up to a filling station owned by FLOYD GWIN. Who's in that car? Some big shot! Oh, it's HAROLD KRING. He's headed for Rochester where he has become famous as the greatest lion trainer in the world. He got tired of training bulldogs and advanced a step. The former Future Home Makers Club, now the Present Home Makers Club, has elected a new president, KATHRYN MYERS. This organization is the largest women's organization in Indiana. At Elkhart, I find EUGENE YARIAN, the mayor of that city. He has advanced from editor of the Elkhart Truth to his present position. A basket ball game at Notre Dame! And who's the coach? He's excited much as Mr. Schuler used to get worked up. Maybe that's where he got it; it s JIM RICH-CREEK. I just must look farther south; maybe I'll find someone I know. There seems to be a large conference at Purdue University. The 4-H Clubs have assembled there and of course MAXINE CANEN is the leader. Again, as I turn west and continue my sight seeing trip across the U. S., I sight Chicago. The first thing I spy is a beautiful picture in the Art Institute, painted by RUTH CALLANDER. Nearby is another one painted by PHYLLIS UNGER. In another part of the building I see a carricature of Mr. Floyd Dickey drawn by RALPH TOBIAS. I turn now to the business district of Chicago and find that Sears, Roebuck and Company has a new advertising agency headed by BESSIE ADAMS. The company now will make several catalogues a year and each will be smaller and easier to carry. FIFTY-THREE THE N A P A N E T 1936 Near this building I see the large office of the Standard Oil Company of Indiana The office boy has just emptied the waste basket .... Well, well, well, it's DONALD RUPLE. What an enormous crowd of people Of course! It's the Wrigley Field where the Cubs, managed by DAVID MILLER, are playing the St. Louis Cardinals. Who are those two acting so silly while waiting to buy their tickets? RICHARD RADA-BAUGH and BURDETTE ARCH taking an afternoon off after playing every afternoon for the last eight weeks in Wayne King's orchestra. I turn my telescope still farther west, and stop at Oklahoma to watch the cowboys round up the cattle. One fellow acts as if he were just new at the job. No wonder! That's EARL SHUMAKER. He's probably afraid since he's so small. A large truck is travelling at a great speed. A moving van .... ???? I might have known Mr. Nettrour would turn the business over to ALFRED. Whose things could he be taking? They must belong to NORMA P1PPENGER. He's probably taking them to Hollywood where she has become a star. Speaking of Hollywood. I see LAMAR TOBIAS has taken Charlie Chaplin's place as leading comedian. Someone is applying for a job as a ''Follies'' dancer. I can't imagine who that could be unless it's MARION BROCK. Of course! I should have known by her black hair. She'll be able to sing as well as dance. Let's hope she gets the job. 1 wonder where the Olympics will be held this year, since I see ARLENE HOCHSTETLER is training again to hold her title as champion of the 100 yard dash. As I take one good look over the entire country, I fail to see anyone else I know. So!..............Down Glen! —Evelyn Christner. The Freshmen Who are they that enter school In bashfulness and fear, Amid the roar and laughter Of the Upper Classman's cheer? Who are they that furnish fun For elders large and small. And are the goat of every gag That's pulled off in the hall? THE FRESHMEN. But who are they that roll the coin When benefits we show, And buy an annual—every one— Because our bankroll's low? Who are they that make the school In the years which are to come. And carry on the worthy tasks That you and I’d begun? THE FRESHMEN. - Isabelle Moore. Class Rank The Seniors think they are having fun, Leaving the school when their work isn't done. The Juniors think that they, next year, Will finish the work the Seniors left here. We Sophomores know, without regret. That our big problem is coming yet. The Freshmen still are rather green, But some day they will rank supreme. —Donnabelle Farrington. FIFTY-FOUR THE NAPANET 1936 A Little Too Much A little too much OVERLOADED With subjects bad and good; Not enough time for study. To make the grades we should. A little too many ASSIGNMENTS By teachers, when they choose; Much time and study needed When they ask for tests and reviews. A little too much ECONOMICS; Who cares about wealth and accounts? Forced to read incomes and payments; Find capital and total amount. A little too much of this subject; Our heads are awhirl in this class; It does us no good to write answers; We forget ere the hour is past. A little too much ADVANCED TYPING, Our fingers won't hit the right keys, And we type till we’re almost nearsighted, As we struggle to master great ease.'' A little too much PAPER WASTED; Remember the money we spent, When we made all the errors and misprints As we strived in those futile attempts. A little too much MATHEMATICS; This subject, I fear, is the worst; It creates a great deal of ill-humor. And we slam down our books in disgust. A little too much of ADDITION; DIVISION is bad at its best; Over MULTIPLICATION we struggle; By experience you know all the rest. A little too many HARSH SCOLDINGS By teachers who think we've done wrong; Just merely a side glance or whisper; They watch us the entire day long. A little too much LYING IDLE. A little too much CHEWING GUM. A little too much LETTER WRITING. They tell us should never be done. A little too much'' was our motto Nearly every hour of the day; Our time we recklessly squandered In the form of nonsense and play. Now, that our school days are over. Those valuable moments are lost; Our teachers’ advice went unheeded; We, as losers, count the great cost. —Elta North. Flora—George FLORA and GEORGE were to be married, so they looked at the CALLANDER to select a suitable date; June 12 seemed to work out BEST. HERR father said. I WARREN you, if you marry him, I will not GRANT you anything in my will.” But they continued to make plans for the wedding. They sent out invitations, which were very easy to REED, to everyone, NEWCOMERS and all. She bought a WHITE dress with a LONG train, and a hat from a large HAT-FIELD, although she had to pay a good PRICE. On the day of the wedding several KNOX were heard at the DOER (ing). When the door was opened, there stood the KING. The wedding was held on the nice GREEN GRASZ on the NORT H side of the house. THOMAS was the best man and DICKEY was the ring bearer. They marched down the HALL, out of the door and down the steps to an ARCH covered with roses. In front of this arch was a low STUMP on which the minister stood. FIFTY-FIVE THE NAPANET 1936 During the ceremony he was greatly bothered by a MILLER. MOORE people came than were expected, so some of the FOULKES had to stand. Because of such a REHRER occasion, a great luncheon was held. The bride's mother served CURTIS candy bars and HOLAWAY suckers. They also had punch served in STEINS. After the affair was over, they left for their home; but FLORA'S father said. You AR—NOTT going to live in that DUMPH He felt ashamed of himself though when he discovered that GEORGE was a RICHMOND, and now he feels that his daughter is a WISE girl. —Evelyn Christner. Just Imagine Gerald Bleile with a bass voice. Robert DeBow the slim man of the circus. Miriam and Jim not fighting. Mr. Mitchell not saying In other words.’ Ethel Lemna without make-up. Betty Mellinger not trying to get the attention of the boys. Merle Dunnuck at school three mornings out of a week. Jeanette Richmond growing tall. Dick Radabaugh not sleeping. Maxine Metzler not after the boys. Mary King not at the library table flirting. Charles Newcomer doing the right experiment in chemistry. Kathryn Pletcher not laughing in speech class. Coralyce Stump not talking about cats. Mr. Roose not attempting to stop the clapping in the assembly so that the students may go to their classes. Anyone sleeping or having his head down in Miss Shively's assembly. Phyllis Hare having her hair fixed the same way for two days. Virginia Berger not running after Glenore. Harold Strycker without candy. John Lynch not teasing Inez Stahly. Wayne Best standing still. Leonard Clark having a date. This school with a good program each time we have assembly. The chemistry class reciting and ending up without having to write out the questions. Richard Stuckman being able to get the yelling section at a game to yell. Alfred Nettrour not going to Bremen. The Senior boys not getting a talking to for smoking! Nappanee High School without our 1936 Napanet. FIFTY-SIX THE NAPANET 1936 Interview Scene: Office of Mr. X. Pression. Time: Every day.

Handicapped by an injury sustained in the early part of the season, he, nevertheless, helped to win many games for the Bulldogs through his height and fine defensive playing. Bob will be graduated this year. KENNETH CURTIS Kenneth is another senior who has proved himself a valuable player to the squad. His fast thinking and ability to score has pulled many games out of the fire for his team. Kenneth will be graduated this year. JOHN PHILLIPS Although one of the smallest on the team, none has the crash and fight that John has. Filling the place of a star of last year, he proved to be one. His fine defensive playing won many games for Nappanee. He will be graduated this year. JAMES RICHCREEK Jim is one of the cleverest and highest scoring guards ever to have played on any Nappanee team. His dashing floor work and his ability to hit from any spot has meant a lot in all of our games. His fine playing will leave a place hard to fill when he is graduated this year. EUGENE YAR1AN Eugene, who also is a Senior, is one of the fastest players on the squad. He also has shown that he has an eye for the basket. With these features he has proved himself a valuable member of the team who can be relied upon in any game. LAMAR TOBIAS Although this is LaMar’s first year on the squad, his smooth playing and fast thinking proved him to be the player that could be counted upon during the crucial moments of the game. He will be lost by graduation. GERALD MULLETT Bud is one of the cleverest and finest scoring players on the team. His deadly eye for the basket has won some of our most important games for Nappanee. Bud is only a junior and a lot is expected from him next year. ROBERT SHIVELY Bob is another junior who proved himself to be a regular. His ability to score from the field and his fine defensive playing plus his ability to capture the rebound has been a great aid to our team. He should prove very valuable next year. ELDON PIPPEN Bud is only a sophomore, but he has shown us his value to the team through his ability to score and all around fine playing. Bud should develop into one of the Bulldog's finest players. JACK BEAN Jack, another sophomore, is one of the fastest on the squad. His playing has proved he deserves a place on the squad and much is expected of him next year. SIXTY-NINE THE NAPANET 1936 Pre-Tourney Games The Bulldogs, Regional Champs of 1935, came to another season of basket ball this year with four men (Jim, Cal, Shive, and Bud) all of whom had had the experience of playing in the state tourney. The fans of Nappanee and Elkhart county did not forget this and neither did our opposing schools, for they have learned to know that no matter how many regulars old N. H. S. may lose one year, they come back strong again next year. With the advantage of having these four boys and several other new members (who played very fine basket ball) Nappanee was rated as one of the strongest teams of our county. Of the seven conference games our team played, we won five, defeating South Bend Riley, Michigan City, Goshen, La Porte and South Bend Central. We lost the other two to Elkhart and Mishawaka. This is a very fine record and if it had not been for this unusually strong competition of other schools, Nappanee would have had a very good chance of becoming conference champs. As it was, we finished second to Elkhart who nosed the Bulldogs out with six victories and one defeat. Of the fifteen other games (including our tourney games) Nappanee won ten and lost five. Although this is not perfect, it is a record of which our school can feel proud. This summary does not incluue the two invitational tourney games played at Plymouth when Nappanee lost to Rochester and then won from Plymouth in the consolation game. Summarizing our complete record we find that our Bulldogs finished the season with 16 victories and 8 defeats, a percentage of .667 a record which ranked among highest schools in our section. Although this year's team failed to establish a record as our 1934-1935 Bulldogs did, we wish to point out how strong the competition was in our section by the fact that South Bend Riley, who won the regional of our section, was defeated by the Bulldogs in both of the games played. The score of the first was 40-18 (the highest score piled up by the Bulldogs this year) and also won the second 25-20. Although our team did not win the sectional this year, they must have had a pretty fair team to do this to Riley, who are the regional champs. Sectional Tourney On Friday morning, March 6, Nappanee met the Millersburg ( Millers ). Mil-lersburg, who had one of the strongest teams in several years, had everything to win and nothing to lose. An upset of the Bulldogs by the Millers would have meant a lot to them, who had a very slim chance of winning the tourney. However, the Bulldogs were too fast, too clever, and too smart for the Millers and they were badly beaten by our Bulldogs. The score was 35-18. At 7:00 o’clock that night, the Bulldogs met the fast Bristol team, led by Hilbish, who were the favorite underdogs of the fans. At first, it looked as if Bristol might score the much demanded upset, but in the last quarter they finally faltered under the furious pace of the Bulldogs, who again emerged victorious. The final score was 29-17. These schools remained in the tournament: Nappanee, Goshen, and Elkhart. Nappanee met the powerful Goshen Red-Skins, who were one of the strongest teams in the tourney. It was Goshen’s day and, led by their fast forward Warstler, they defeated our fighting Bulldogs in a hard battle to the score of 13-21. Goshen then went on to win over Elkhart and became Sectional Champs. The fans felt proud of our team who could be beaten by only the Sectional Winners. Seventy THE NAPANET 1936 Coach HERMAN SCHULER This is Dutch” Schuler's eighth year as coach of athletics at Nappanee High School. During this time, he has established a record with one of the smallest schools in this county that many other coaches with schools five times larger than ours would be proud to own. Schuler has spent many hours coaching his boys, not only in trying to develop them into players of a winning team, but of men of whom he can be proud. Schuler is admired and respected by thousands of fans and other coaches for the fair and clean game his boys always play. In saying good-bye to our school, the Senior Class and members of his squad wish Coach Schuler to know that they appreciate the fine spirit of their coach and are proud to have had him coach our team. We hope that he enjoys many more successful seasons as one of the finest coaches in Indiana. Trainer HAROLD KRING Harold, who has served the last three years as trainer and student manager of our basketball team, will be graduated this year. The members of the squad know how hard he has worked, and what a help he has been to them. His honor sweater is their and the school's appreciation for his work. Harold has been a good trainer and we are sure he hates to leave as badly as the school regrets to see him go. Cheerleaders Chick, Rupe, and “Hookie were elected as our cheerleaders this year. They have done a fine job of keeping the spirits of the fans and team high during the season, and their efforts have been appreciated by the faculty and team. The fans, also, seemed interested in their showmanship. Doctor DR. FRANCIS A. TURFLER A. B.—DePauw University B. S.—Kirksviile College of Applied Science D. A. S.—LaGrange Institution of Anatomical Science D. O.—Doctor of Osteopathy Dr. Turfler, is the man in the white coat, who for four years has seen that the injuries and ailments of our basket ball team have been kept at a minimum. His worth, to our team, is immeasurable. A good fellow at all times, he has made many friends in Nappanee High. From the class of 1936, we say, Here’s to Doc!

Schuler, (coach), Elmo Phend, Robert Rensberger, Harold Krinir (trainer). Second Team This year’s team was composed mostly of freshmen and sophomores. Much credit is due them for showing the fine ball playing they did with such little experience. Although their record shows a rather unsuccessful season, they have shown a fighting spirit and should prove to be valuable material for future teams. DATE OPPONENTS PLACE NAP. OPP.

Baseball Encouraged by the successful season last year, but handicapped by the loss of five graduating regulars. Coach Schuler has done a fine job of building a “heads up ball club composed mostly of promising underclassmen. Stouder and Lape hurled most of the games and turned in some first-class performances supported by other members of the team who played their positions to the best of their ability. Phillips and Richcreek are the only members that will be lost to the team next year. They will receive honor sweaters, because of their fine playing, which helped to enable last year’s team to tie for first in conference play. Date Opponent Place Nap. Opp. Date Opponent Place Nap.

Mr. Best has been appointed coach and the team had a fairly successful season. Much valuable material was shown among the underclassmen, and they promise to put out some real teams in this sport which is rapidly rising in prominence.

Mr. Dickey has been appointed coach of our team, and he promises to develop some winning teams in the future. Eugene Yarian was the only member of the squad, and the first in the school's history, to win an honor sweater in this sport. Much credit and praise is due to the other players for their co-operation and spirit in all of their matches. Four members will be lost to the team by graduation.

Noon basket ball provides this sort of entertainment for those boys who are not able to make the team, and to those who enjoy playing basket ball. There is a league for both Senior and Junior High. Numerals are given to the player who earns 15 points. Captains and members of the winning team earn 10 points, while 5 points are given to those who participate in the league. It is possible for a boy to win his numeral in two years. SENIOR LEAGUE Name of Team Captain Won Lost Indians Earl Michael 7 2 Tigers Loyal Burkholder t 3 Bears Harvey Miller 4 5 Cubs George Cleveland JUNIOR LEAGUE 1 8 Red Birds Lamar Warren 5 2 Wildcats George Rehrer 2 5 Girls Athletic Association The Girls Athletic Association was organized in 1931, for the purpose of giving the high school girls a chance to participate in sports and also to win a monogram. The organization is sponsored by the Student Council and also by Miss Hoover, the physical education teacher. The girls on the Student Council comprise the Girls' Athletic Committee viz. which are Martha Chamberlain, chairman, Isabelle Moore, Evelyn Christner, Gwendolyn McCormick, and Norma Metzler. The secretary of the organization is Elta Holaway. There are six sports: basket ball, baseball, volley ball, tennis, track, and hiking, three of which are played at noon and three after school. A girl may participate in all six sports but must take part in four before she can win her points. A certain number of points is given for each sport and also for keeping time or score, and refereeing. When a girl has won one hundred and fifty points she receives a monogram, after which she takes part in the sports for enjoyment only. Eighteen monograms have been given before the present year. The first year it was organized, in 1931, letters were given to three girls, Wanda Minard, Mary Malcolm. and Cora Ruff, seniors, each of whom had earned only one hundred points, due to the lack of time. In 1932, two were given, in 1933, three, in 1934, six, and in 1935, four. SEVENTY-SIX —Martha Chamberlin. THE NAPAN ET 1936 Alumni 1935 Dorothy Arnott Kroger’s Store Nappanee Stanley Berger So.
