Diploma Hour The graduating class of 1937 numbers 68. 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.
