There are thirty-nine boys and twenty-nine girls — the largest class graduated in the history of the high school. The class of 1936 numbered 63, which was the largest previous class. May is the most popular month and December the least popular. Twelve of these graduates were born in May, nine in November, seven in February, and only three in December. The rest of the birthdays are well scattered among the other eight months. Two graduates in each instance celebrate April 11, May 8, May 12, May 30, August 16, and November 20. Those of May 8, May 12, May 30, August 16, and November 20 are of the same age. One celebrates Saint Valentine ' s Day, one April Fools ' Day and one Armistice Day. Twenty-two were born in 1918, thirty- seven in 1919, and seven in 1920. These seven either started in the rural school or were born in January or February of 1920, which accounts for their early graduation. The babies of the class are Virginia Berger, Rosemary Stalnaker, and Norma Metzler. Virginia, the youngest, is 16 years, 5 months, 29 days today. The average age of the boys is 18 years, 3 months, 8 days. The average age of the girls is 18 years, months, 14 days. The average age for the girls is exactly the same as last year, but commence- ment comes seven days earlier this year. Six of these grad uates entered Nappanee High School in 1924, 64 enrolled in 1925, one graduate last year; 30 are on the platform tonight; 8 are still in high school, and we hope will graduate next year; 16 have moved away and 15 have dropped out, these graduates are classed as rural and forty-one live in Nappanee. The attendance of this class has not been as good as that of some former classes. The total days missed up to April 2, by these 68, while enrolled in Nappanee High School is Myjyj. This is an average of 4.55 days absence each year, or a percentage of attendance of 97.47. Those who have missed less than five days during the four years are as follows: Elizabeth Furney days; Carlyle Snider x i day; Priscilla Bock 1 1 3; Harold Strycker 2; Dorothy Strauss 2 1 6; Inez Stahly 2 1 3; Lester Wid- moyer 3; Minerva Pletcher 3j ; Merl Clouse 3J 2 ' . June Dumph 4; Robert Sharp 43 ; and James Weygand 4 2 3. George Cleveland, Dorothy McCuen, and Rosemary Stalnaker deserve honorable mention for attendance. —J. A. Abell. TWELVE ; 15- ,i V ' ii- )!

' HVEXTY-FOUR Juniors We, the class of ' 38 are just preparing to dock our ship Education after our third trip on another strange course. Our colors, purple and gold, have flown over every member of our crew of fifty, each wearing a yellow rose. Our motto: A win- ner never quits and a quitter never wins has been lived up to by all. Our ship has new officers aboard this year. Officers on past trips have been: Freshmen Donabelle Minard Julian Walters Donnabelle Farrington Eldon Pippen Robert Lape Captain First Mate Second Mate Stewards and Stewardesses Sophomores Charles Holderman Donald Cleveland Donnabelle Farrington Martha Chamberlain Isabelle Moore Elmo Phend The boys have shown their ability to be valuable members of the basketball teams and every one is expecting more from them next year. The girls have had a noon-basketball team and have played some tough games with other classes. Because of the many activities and the lack of funds, we have had no parties on deck, but we are looking forward to the occasion of the Junior-Senior Reception. Perhaps the Seniors are looking forward to this too. After a brief vacation, we shall start our fourth and final trip on our ship as Seniors. — Donnabelle Farrington. TWENTY-FIVE Sophomores A few days before school started in August a freshman called at the superintend- ent ' s office to enroll. Mr. Abell asked, Ever had mathematics? Replied the fresh- man, Nope, just chicken pox and measles. This is typical of the stories circulated each year in honor of the freshmen. Last year the class of ' 39 was the object of the remarks. As frsehmen we elected officers as follows: President Carlyle Frederick Vice-President Ruby Calbeck Secretary-Treasurer ...Catherine Mullett Student Counci7 ,.Tilson King and Gwendolyn McCormick This year we returned not as Freshies, but as Sophomores. Instead of hav- ing others tell stories about us, we can now tell them too. After we had become accustomed to our place as Sophomores, we decided it was about time for a class party. On the evening of February twenty-third we had a skating party. Every one had a good time. During the last few games of the basketball season two Sophomores, Robert Rensberger and Tilson King have been playing on the first team. We are looking forward to seeing these boys play the entire season next year.

Eight have been lost since last year, but at the same time the ranks have been swelled by the enrollment of rural students and other newcomers to Nappanee. The class has been showing rather unusual talent in athletics, music, and art. The Freshmen Boys ' Quartette, and the Freshmen Brass Quartette is respected by all who have heard them. Jane Mast and Mary Etta Mast, two newcomers, have done well in representing Nappanee in the county Latin Contest.

BEST, MISS KIVETT THIRTY-ONE Seventh Grade Any person who had the misfortune to have business on the lower floor of the high school building on the first day of school in August, 1936, was probably dumb- founded by the sight that met his eyes. For no apparent reason a panic was raging! For the benefit of any of our readers who may have witnessed this phenomenon, let us explain the cause of it. Fifty-eight seventh graders were merely trying to keep out of the wrong rooms — and there were plenty of ' em that day. As the year is ending, they seem to be doing much better, although occasionally a seventh grader may wander into a senior English class or a junior history class. They ' re a bunch of swell fellows anyway. When November rolled around, both sections united to hold a skating party, and from the radiant good cheer on the faces of all the seventh graders the next morning we rather imagine it was quite a success. Two bad things about being a seventh grader are the rough initiation that is held annually in their honor, and the thought that they will be subject to the same treatment when they are Freshmen. This is off-set somewhat by the fact that they have the privilege to do a little initiating themselves when they are eighth graders. One year has been passed successfully, and only four more years remain before the class of ' 40 will be on the last lap as seniors. The best of luck to them.

Meet- ings were held every two weeks. This year two new departments or projects were started: The Lost and Found Department, consisting of Harvey Miller, Norma Metzler, and June Dumph; the purpose of this department was to aid in the finding and returning of lost articles. Also a project was started to do away with loitering and loafing in the corridors. The monitors were Carol Clouse, June Dumph, Robert Mitchell and Julian Walters. The Girls ' Athletic Committee had Martha Chamberlin as their chairman, and Mary Osborn was chairman of the program committee. The Student Council wish to thank all teachers and students who have helped to make this organization a success. — June Dumph.

THIRTY-SIX The Library This year our library work is under the capable direction of Miss Blank, with the assistance of nine student librarians. The duties of these librarians are to catalog books, check in new magazines, keep a record of all books loaned to students, help others who are not well acquainted with the library, and to collect fines on books which are overdue. The school subscribes to twenty-one weekly and monthly magazines, covering many different interests. The favorites of most of the students are The Reader ' s Digest, and Time. College papers are received in our library from Ball State Teachers College. Indiana University, and Manchester College. At present, we have approximately four thousand volumes in the library. This year the Encyclopedia Britannica of twenty-four volumes, and seventy-seven other books of varied interests have been added. These books cover such subjects as home economics, industrial arts, agriculture, speech and debates, short stories, liter- ature, vocations, and economics. — Dorothy McCuen.

The present sponsors are Miss Lantz and Miss Kivett. The club consists of sophomore, junior, and senior girls and meetings are held every two weeks on Tuesday. The rough initiation was held in the early fall at which time many new members joined the organization. The Girl Reserve has a social gathering once a month. The clu b participates in charity and social work. Twelve members and Miss Kivett attended the South Bend-Elkhart Girl Reserve Conference on February six, at the South Bend Y.W.C.A.

' ' Purpose: To find and give the best. The Junior Girl Reserve was organized in 1925 by Mrs. Georgia Miller Replogle as a branch of the Senior Girl Reserve, and as a branch of the Y. W. C. A. The organization has grown from less than twenty members in 1925 to forty-two active members in 1937. The club is made up of seventh-grade, eighth-grade, and freshmen girls. Miss Shively is the adviser. In November the members held a party at which twenty-one members r eceived their rough ' ' initiation. This party was fun even for the girls being initiated. At Christmas time, the Junior Girl Reserve, together with the Senior Girl Re- serve, purchased and distributed baskets of food to less fortunate persons. Younger boys and girls were guests at a party in their honor. The interesting and instructive programs of the bi-monthly meetings are given by the girls of the club, or by an outside speaker. We are sure the Junior G. R. has lived up to its purpose. — Mary Teeter.

WHITE Clean speech, clean living, clean scholarship, clean athletics, and to create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and community high standards of Chris- tian character, ' have been the aims of the Hi-Y club since it was started on December 31, 1924 under the supervision of Mr. Abell. Mr. Abell remained adviser of the club until 1927 when Robert Qu.nn assumed this duty. Mr. White, our present adviser, started his leadership of the club in 1929 and has done excellent work since that time. At the start of the school term the club had but twenty-two members, but on October 13, eight new members received their rough initiation. The serious initiation was held two days later at the Methodist Church. This year the Hi-Y has made several trips to Elkhart. Also the G. R.-Hi-Y party this spring was thoroughly enjoyed. Perhaps the major project of the Hi-Y is the Father-and-Son Banquet held annually by the club. The Father-and-Son Ban- quet this year was held on November twenty-four at the United Brethren Church. — Eldon Pippen.

The Fi-Kem Science Club was organized in October, 1936 for the benefit of science students who were interested in science, and who desired more knowledge of the subject than is afforded in the regular class-room. The membership of the club is limited and qualifications are very high. Members must be, or have been enrolled in either physics or chemistry at sometime in high school. Science grades and citizen- ship grades must be B, or above. Each member is pledged to strive for honesty in all things, a pleasing personality, and good habits. Meetings are held bi-weekly and the programs are built around scientific subjects. Several interesting trips have been made to manufacturing companies. Bendix, and Studebaker plants have been visited. The club has been successful in its first year, and there is every indication that, as the years go by, the organization will exert more and more influence on science in Nappanee High School. — Glenora Hall.

FORTY-ONE Glee Club If the name of an organization were the sole factor in inducing persons to join that organization, there can be little doubt that it would soon become necessary to find new quarters for the Glee Club. To become one of the select thirty-five which comprise the Glee Club, each prospective person must pass the so-called voice-test conducted by Miss Lantz. Any girl who has had her full quota of over-the-fence gossip, but who lacks the re- quirements of the test is of course eliminated; this applies to boys also. The first half of the year is usually more work than glee ; the glee starts in March, when the silver-tongued tenors (or golden-voiced sopranos as the case may be) go on tour. The tour is not very long, however; only to Elkhart. The occasion is the Elkhart County High School Choral Festival. Miss Lantz accompanies the expedition not only to direct proceedings, but also to see that none of her young- sters get into trouble. The Glee Club has appeared in quite a number of programs this year; the High School Band spring concert, the Baccalaureate program, the commencement program, and various other church and school programs.

FORTY-TWO Band President Vice-President Secretary-Treasurer Drum Major JAMES WEYGAND CARLYLE SNIDER RONALD RINGENBERG FREDERICK PLETCHER A person peeking in on the first rehearsal of the band in September remarked, It doesn ' t sound much like a band to me; sounds more like a hog eatin ' corn. Strictly speaking, not very complimentary, but perhaps true; however, after hearing a finished symphonic performance in early spring the remark must have been reversed some- what, for it had become a band. The breach between the first strident blast of the brass or the whoom-pahs of the basses and a later performance was filled only by hard work on the part of each of the band ' s forty-five members. The band deserves especial commendation for their work. The purpose of the band is not only to teach the performer the correct technique of his instrument, but also to offer him an opportunity to show that he has a will of his own. Through the study and performance of the finest works in musical literature each member expresses his own individuality. Surely this is a worthy goal for any organization.

FORTY-THREE Debate Club Resolved: That all electric utilities should be governmentally owned and operated, ' ' was the question studied throughout the season. Different members of the club attended debate conferences and tournaments at Purdue, Elkhart and Fort Wayne. During the debate season practice debates were ' held with various schools, among them were Riley and Central of South Bend, Co- lumbia City, Knox, Crown Point, Wiley of Terre Haute, Mishawaka, Goshen, La Porte, and Fort Wayne. On February six, and twenty the district tournaments were held at New Paris and Nappanee respectively. Elkhart won first, Nappanee and Wakarusa tied for second, and Goshen and Concord tied for third. Others in the tournament were New Paris and Jefferson Twp. Members of the affirmative team were Hobert Blosser (captain), Eleanor Barrett, and Verda Hershberger, alternate. Members of the negative team were June Dumph (captain), Kathryn Truex and Rosemary Stalnaker, alternate. Meetings were held every Monday and Wednesday evenings after school with Mr. Mitchell, the debate coach. Twelve students were active in the club. The debate season was enjoyed immensely by each member of the debate teams. — June Dumph. Seated: Verda Hershberger, Eleanor Barrett, Hobert Blosser, Kathryn Truex, June Dumph, Rosemary Stalnaker.

Craftsmen Club was organized in the latter part of this year. The purposes of tha club are to promote and stimulate interest in crafts and various arts: to exchange ideas; to increase the knowledge of its members by demonstration; and to encourage hobbies of all kinds. Although the club was started late in the season, considerable activity was carried on by its members. In years to come, this club should prove of considerable interest to all high school boys interested in home-crafts. The constitution states that any boy maintaining a home work-shop may be a member. — Ronald Ringenberg.

FORTY-SIX National Honor Society of Secondary Schools President Vice-President Secretary CARLYLE SNIDER HOBERT BLOSSER ALICE MALCOLM This is the second year for the National Honor Society of Secondary Schools in Nappanee High School. The charter was granted to the Nappanee chapter on March twenty-five, 1936. Membership in this organization is based on four virtues; namely, character, scholarship, leadership, and service. The members of the organization are chosen by the entire faculty. Membership of the organization is limited; only fifteen per cent of the senior class, and five per cent of the junior class may be selected. Last year, the faculty selcted as members the following students: Robert Cal- lander, Evelyn Christner, Leonard Clark, Robert Coppes. Elta Holaway. Elta North, LaMar Stahly and Lara Mae Strauss. The above-named were all lost to the chapter by graduation. The faculty also elected at the same time, Alice Malcolm, Carlylc Snider, and Hobert Blosser from the class of 1937. Last fall, the following members were added: June Dumph, Harvey Miller, and Carol Clouse. The membership was again increased at the beginning of the second semester. Those elected from the senior class were: Geraldine Davidhizar, Wade Geyer, Dorothy Strauss and Wel- bourne Tooker. Those from the junior class were Mary Osborne and Eldon Pippen. Although the organization has not taken a very active part in school affairs yet, it is destined to become more active in future years, because of the worthwhileness of its motives. — Hobert Blosser.

The meetings are held during activity period every second week, on Monday. At one meeting, letters from Hawaii were read. February first, Mrs. Stuckman gave an interesting talk on spring fashions. At another meeting we had a debate, Re- solved that the country women are more happy and contented than the city women. Two special meetings were held at which slides were shown: the first on Costumes of Many Lands, and the second on Fashions from 1810 to 1936. We have had several social meetings at night. The first was a pot-luck supper followed by the rough initiation of eighteen new members. Another pot-luck sup- per was held January fourteen at the school. On February eleven, we had a valentine party at the home of Ruth Gwin; valentines were exchanged and games played. On Thursday, March 18, we had another party at Kathryn Stahly ' s home. Everyone took part in the progam. The Future Home Makers have had many enjoyable meetings this year. — Ruth Gwin.

At the beginning of the school year, seven more boys were found worthy and acceptable for membership and were promptly taken into the club, with the veterans of former years watching over them. After the initiation of these new members, the organization settled down to handle the business of the year. Aside from the routine work of running an organization of this kind, there has also been plenty of fun. A play, The Grass Is Always Greener. was presented at the Farmers ' Institute. The annual Father and Son Banquet was held February 23. Earl Stouder and Earl Micheal were selected by the chapter to represent Nap- panee in the State F. F. A.

FORTY-NINE High School Boys ' Quartette The High School Boys ' Quartette is more than an organization — it is the im- mortal part of man making itself evident through an organization. Under the strain of continuous query, almost any member of the group — and they ' re a blood-thirsty looking crew — (that ' s why we didn ' t print their picture) — would finally break down and reluctantly admit that he belonged to the finest organi- zation in Nappanee High School. At the Elkhart County Choral Festival, held in Elkhart this organization, as well as the glee club, was exalted when one of the members, was selected by the director, LeRoy Wetzel, of Chicago, to sing the solo in Home on the Range in the evening session, when all the choruses and glee clubs sang together. The first quartette to become a part of the extra-curricular system was organized by Miss Vivian Loomis in 1930, during the time that she was music instructor in Nappanee. The members are Carlyle Snider, Carlyle Frederick, Hobert Blosser, and Lorrel Mullett. Patrol The patrol was organized in Nappanee High School a number of years ago for the purpose of safe-guarding the lives of younger children while coming and going to school. The patrol, chosen from the seventh and eighth grade boys, are on duty at their respective corners each school morning, noon, and evening. Robert Geyer is the captain. This note-worthy organization, doing much fine work, deserves more recognition then it has received in the past. It should be the personal desire of everyone to see this organization not only continue the fine work they are already doing, but to also expand the scope of its work.

FIFTY Class Prophecy of ' 37 It was springtime, and the {ever That is prone to take control Hovered o ' er me and possessed me, Both in body and in soul. ' Twas that feeling ' ner forgotten. That one never can disperse, And the last thing I remembered, Was the chanting of a verse. I sank deeper into realms of nothing, As I sank the chanting grew, And the voices seemed familiar, Like the strains of old curfew. ' Twas the hand of fate directing In that opinness of time A vast choir, and the voices Blended joyously sublime! Then I ventured forth a question, Please, Sir Master Fate, please tell, From whence cometh all the music, Voices that I know so well? Listening I think of angels, For the music sounds like heaven, Knowest thou not this wondrous choir? Why it ' s the class of thirty-seven. Then I realized the meaning. Of this vision, so to speak, Fhture lives of all my classmates Could be seen, if I would seek. What a picture!. spoke up ROBERT Then he set his camera square and SHARP , I would hate to have missed this one, It ' s CARLYLE SNIDER with his harp. He used to play a trombone, But little did I think, He ' d be playing all his music, In BOB MILLER ' S skating rink. Fates decreed us several farmers And right here we have the list, There ' s BERGER, MOORE, and WAGNER, And who ' s the one I ' ve missed?

The program continued with selections by a quartet composed of Carlyle Snider, Hobert Blosser, Carlyle Frederick, and Lorrel Mullett. Ralph Jerles entertained the group with piano selections. The Rev. H. A. Mellville gave the main address of the evening. FRESHMAN CLASS PARTY On a lovely evening about the third week in November the Freshman Class held a skating party in Stuckman ' s Hall. Miss Shively, Mr. Dickey, and Mr. Busche went with them to take care of them. Aside from a few falls and some bad bruises, everyone thoroughly enjoyed himself. The evening ' s fun was ended by everyone wishing for another big event. FUTURE FARMER INITIATION A joint initiation of the Nappanee and New Paris chapters of Future Farmers was held in the high school gym on Monday night, October 10, 1936.

Each year since their achievements in the air, adventur- ous youths have yearned for more knowledge in this great art and have sought schools of learning to receive it. In 1932, some ninety Freshmen students enrolled in Nappanee High School to learn the art of flying. We were somewhat awed by the dignity of the superior sen- ior class, who had already donned their parachutes for the final take-off. We did gain courage, however, to give a Hallowe ' en party. Norma Metzki was appointed First Pilot, with Harold Strycker as assistant and with Welbourne Tooker — the watchdog of the treasury — holding up the financial end of the situation. When we returned the following year for further instructions, we felt more con- fident of our ability. This time we trusted our leadership to Robert Wise, with Carol Clouse as assistant and with Hobert Blosser as financial advisor. We celebrated our success with a skating party for we felt that, for the present, the ground was safer than the air. When we returned for the third year of schooling, we found that the importance of our standing was greatly increased, and we were confronted with the task of planning the Junior-Senior Reception. Realizing that this would require intelligent leadership, we appointed Robert Shively, First Pilot, Carol Clouse, Assistant Pilot; and Hobert Blosser, financier, was retained because of his previous capable services. Under this leadership with the co-operation of every class member, the reception was successful. We returned for our fourth year of coaching and suddenly realized that this was the final division of learning in the art of flying. Taking into consideration the responsibility and the gravity of the situation we elected as First Pilot, Gerald Mul- lett; Assistant Pilot Carlyle Snider; and retained Hobert Blosser as financier. Early in the year we decided to contribute the Napanet as a part of our service. With the vigor previously exhibited by the members of our class of ' 37, we at- tacked this problem. The result is the twelfth edition of the Napanet which we consider one of the greatest achievements that our class or any other class has ever accomplished. The Junior-Senior Reception with which we were honored, was one of the most successful entertainments which has ever been presented by a Junior Class. At Bacculaureate and Commencement Services we were given instruction on First Flights by experts in the field of aviation. Realizing that book learning in this great art will be important if we profit by it, we shall not overlook the fact that much more knowledge may be gained by actual experience. Perhaps we shall have our wings clipped or broken, but we shall remember that it is better to have tried and failed than never to have tried. — Eleanor Barett.

GERALD MULLETT Bud ' s eye for the basket proved to be an asset to the Bulldogs. WAYNE MILLER Soit ' s defense at critical moments was an important asset to the team. ELDON PIPPEN Bud ' s fight inspired the team to greateT efforts. ROY BEAN Jack ' s speed was of great value to the Bulldogs. JAMES MILLER Jim ' s clever dribbling proved to be the thorn in the way of several opponents. SIXTY-SIX VARSITY BASKETBALL WADE GEYER Wade ' s clever footwork was a valuable factor in the team ' s suc- cess. EVERETT STOUDER Stouder ' s asset to the team was his clever handling of the ball. ROBERT RENSBERGER Rensberger ' s basketball intelligence proved to be of great value to the team. TILSON KING Tilson ' s value to the team was his ability to be changed from one position to another. ELMO PHEND Elmo ' s team spirit proved to be of great value to the Bulldogs. ROBERT LAPE Mose proved to be a valuable asset to the team with his clever dribbling. SIXTT-SEVEX Varsity Basketball As we glance over the records of the past years, we can without hesitation say that basketball at Nappanee is an ever progressing sport. Nappanee always has a fine record and always considered as a hard team to beat by their opponents. No individual star can be picked, for they all worked for the good of the team, each taking his share of the work. Shively and Mullett were the most experienced and therefore, much depended upon them. Wade Geyer, Bud Pippen and Jim Miller took their share of the burden and played like veterans. Of course, all teams have their slumps and ours is no exception, although when the team was playing at its best it was hard for any team to defeat them. Taking all into consideration, the team played hard, clean, basketball and for that they deserve much credit. FIRST TEAM SCHEDULE Date Opponent Place Nap.

SIXTY-NINE Baseball The Baseball team enjoyed a successful season during the fall schedule, having eight victories and one defeat. The spring schedule will be somewhat tougher, but the team should make a strong bid for conference honors. Stouder and Wagner did the hurling while Michael did the catching. This combination turned in some fine per- formances. Lape was the leading hitter; James Miller took fielding honors. The fine spirit that prevailed through the season was greatly appreciated by Coach Schuler. Stouder and Wagner are the only members of the team that will be lost by graduation.

More benefit is derived from track than any other sport, but since it is too individual, many boys do not have the ambition to take up track. During the last several years track has been on the upgrade at Nap panee, but it has not yet reached its peak. There are many boys out for track this year. With Mr. Best to coach these boys, Nappanee should make an improvement over last year ' s team.

SEVENTY-ONE Tennis The tennis team had one of the most successful seasons ever known in the history of the school. The team won four out of six matches and finished third in the Con- ference. Robert Mitchell won four out of six matches, which entitled him to a major let- ter, and an honor sweater when he is graduated. Pippen and Rensberger each won three out of six matches which entitles them to a minor letter. Much credit and praise is due to the other players for their co-operation and spirit in all of their matches. Much credit is due, also, to Mr. Dickey for the fine showing of the team. There are no seniors on the team, so much will be expected from the team next year.

SEVENTY-TWO Girls ' A thletic Association President Vice-President Secretary MARTHA CHAMBERLIN - MARTHA WAGNER ELEANOR HOCHSTETLER In 1931, because of the clamors of the girls to rival the boys in sports, the Girls ' Athletic Association was organized by Miss Heestand, Miss Heckaman, Mr. Good- rich, and Mr. Schuler. This year, we organized the association into more of a society than it had been pieviously, with monthly meetings the first Wednesday of every month. We had over fifty members, and for the first time got our organization pins. We also had several parties during the year. The Girls ' Interclass Tourney, sponsored by the G. A. A. was won by the sophomores from the juniors in an overtime game. The final game was played just before the boys ' final game, in the Community Building. Thre are six sports: basketball, baseball, volley-ball, track, tennis, and hiking, in lour of which the girl must participate before she will receive her points. She may also receive points for refereeing, keeping time, and keeping score. When the girl has received 150 points, she receices her NHS monogram. After receiving her mono- gram, she participates in the sports for enjoyment only. The association is sponsored by the Student Council and the physical education teacher, Miss Hoover. During the six years, 23 monograms have been given and more girls will be eligible for it this year. — Martha Chamberlin.

SEVENTY-THREE • ««|  «  « ia«!HsiS! w«B Coach HERMAN SCHULER This is Dutch Schuler ' s 9th 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. Dutch is admired and respected by thousands of fans and other coaches for the fair and clean game his boys always play. In saying good-by to our school, the senior class and members of his squad wish coach Schuler to know that they appre- ciate the fine spirit of their coach and are proud to have had him coach our team. We hope he enjoys many more successful seasons as one of the finest coaches in Indiana. Trainer JULIAN WALTERS This is Julian ' s first year as trainer of the squad. Julian has spent many hours of hard work at ball polishing, suit cleaning, etc. For this, the senior class, extend to him our sincere vote of thanks and we hope to see him out there again next year doing his best for the team. GEORGE BOCK, Ass ' t Trainer George served as assistant trainer and staticism, and has proved to us his worth to the team. He also got in on many of the hard hours of work. The Senior Class wish to give him our sincere thanks. Cheer Leaders CLARICE MELLINGER AND LOUISE MASON Nappanee High School, the members of the basketball team, and the general public wish to express their appreciation to the cheer leaders for the fine spirit which they caused to prevail at the games. Let ' s all yell for the team and help the cheer leaders. SEVENTY-FOUR Noon Basketball More boys joined noon basketball this year then ever before.
