CLASS WILL We, the class of 1946, possessing superior mentality and extraordinary talents, do hereby declare this to be our last will and testament. I As we are about to leave these Famed Halls of Education we wish to bestow upon the underclassmen, these, our priceless possessions: To the freshmen our coyness and ability to influence the teachers which we lacked as frosh but accumulated through four years of experience. To the sophomores all our grief, work, and sacrifice we made in planning the reception in our junior year. To the juniors our dignity and superior minds which come only with greatest intelligence and experience and which they will need much of in the next year. II To the entire faculty we bequeath our love and appreciation for the many things they have done so graciously to give us our poise and self-confidence to face our future with the utmost intelligence created from our career in N. H. S. III - The remaning will and testaments are the greatest bequests that could possibly come from the depths of the grateful, humble, and generous hearts of the seniors. I, Doris Elaine Anglin, will my surpulus t?J weight and height to Anna Lou Gonderman to be added to her own. I, Richard Earl Arnott, will my interest in economics to any junior who likes it as well as I did.

DIPLOMAHCDUR To The Class of 1946: Congratulations, members of the Class of 1946, for your achievement in earning a high school diploma bearing the name and seal of Nappanee High School. You will now be accepted in the select group of men and women who constitute the alumni of the school, ranging from the first class of 1898 to the newest and latest- your class of 1946. As members of this association, you will be expected to shoulder the important responsibilities of citizenship in the new post-war world. Al- though most of your high school days were spent under the gray skies of world conflict, I am confident that you, with the other thousands of gradu- ates of high schools all over the country, will work as hard for a lasting, righteous world peace as you did in giving all-out assistance to our country during the war period. If your school training, made possible by teachers, administrators, school 'board members, parents, and friends of education, will be of value to you in understanding and improving human relations in the larger en- vironment in which you must now live, this will indeed be re-assuring proof that our American school system has made its contribution in building a better world. lf at all possible, plan to continue your formal education in your cho- sen field of endeavor-if not, so discipline and shape your everyday living and thinking to provide the utmost happiness, success, and satisfaction in accepting the responsibilities of citizenship in this great country we so proudly call America. Sincerely, L. K. KLITZKE, Supt. 0
