THE N A P A N E T 1936 Senior Class History We have found that history is a written record of the steps in civilization. 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
