NAPPANEE HIGH SCHOOL NAPPANEE, INDIANA VOLUME XXXV So Much To Do At Nappanee High Each day within the confines of Nappanee High School we, her students, seek a newer world. Among the many worlds found beyond the open doors of our school is the world of accomplishment, one never ceasing; our world of knowledge found in our classrooms; and our world of fun made up of music, laughter, last-minute plans, whispering couples, a ccnvertible filled with screaming fans, and lasting friendships. This, the thirty-fifth volume of the Napanet, was published to give its readers a complete history of the year 1959-60 in N.H.S., to show the many worlds” in which we live. Our world of study, friendships and sports; Our clubs and social life of all sorts; Reviewing the old, exploring the new; So Many Worlds ... So Much To Do. -ffvV Or Wall STUDY Through diligent study we grasp a world” of knowledge and achievement. We are uncovering new facts each day; new horizons are being discovered, and old ones are becoming better understood. It's not only the three R's of Grandfather's school days, but now specialized courses are also offered to meet every student's need. As you will see on the following pages, this world affords the students education and training for a position in later life. A theme to write, a speech to plan; Latin to translate, poetry to scan; A chemistry test, and history, too; Our World of STUDY .. So Much To Do. 4 English is the basis of our curriculum . . . The students are enrolled in English courses most of the years they are in high school. The college preparatory course requires the student to take it all four years, and three years are required for the practical English course. In these classes the students learn the basic fundamentals and mechanics of our language. Composition writing is emphasized to teach us to express our- selves clearly and to use correctly the knowledge of our language. Literature is taught during the second semester of the English courses. In these classes students are helped to overcome reading difficulties and to improve techniques, speed, and interpretation. Students who enroll in the speech class are trained in correct, fluent, and persuasive public speaking. Besides participating in many speeches, debates, and discussions they take part in the skit at the Halloween Festival and the play given for the student body at Christmas time. Sandy Warren is putting on the bulletin board some of the excep- tional themes written by students in hor sophormoro English class, as Jane Lakins and Roger Holdoman tako timo out to read thorn. Maxine Welty and Marietta Holderman are feverishly seeking material for their research papers—a requirement for the first semester of senior English. Appearing in a scene of the Christmas play. Song of Glory, are Jerry Elmore. Lou Ann Wyman, Marlene Parks. Stevo Price, Linda Price, Susie Neibert, and George Freese, all mombors of the speech class.

Diano Haro, Mik© Egolf, Bill Hollar, and Karon McFall aro all working hard to figure out a problem on percentages in their gonoral math class. Algebra I, taken primarily by freshmen, opens a way to the many worlds of mathematics by teaching its students the fundamentals and rules for solving equations. One of these worlds is Algebra II. This subject gives the advanced math student further study of such things as graphs, systems of equations, ratios, proportions, and variations, plus more algebraic rules. Algebra II is taken by those who want either a major or minor in mathematics and have completed Algebra I. Plane and solid geometry, offered alternately with the two courses of algebra, enable any student to have four years of mathematics. General math is for those students who wish to fulfill the requirement of one year of math but who do not wish to study algebra. In this class students learn techniques in working mathemati- cal problems with which they will probably be faced when they are out of high school. Some examples of these are fractions, basic construc- tions, and percentages. Mathematics plays an important role in our world of study. Using logarithms and tho slido rule to solvo thoir advanced algebra problems, as Edward Getz. Jerry Elmore, and Kont Stuck- man are doing here, really saves time . . . and work. too. ROBINSON AND PRICE SEEDSMEN. Inc.—Phono 87 WRIGHT'S FUNERAL HOME—Ambulance Service create inquisitive minds . . . The courses of science offered at N.H.S. include biology, chemistry, and physical science. One year of science is required for graduation and this requirement may be met with any of these courses. In biology the students learn to classify many plants and animals from the simplest forms to the most complex. During the year they disect many different animals and also learn more about their habits and makeup. Besides learning the names of the different elements and their physical and chemical proper- ties, the chemistry classes do many experiments in the well equipped laboratories of N.H.S. Only juniors and seniors may take this elective course which alternates yearly with physics. Physical science, which is taken by students who do not wish to study physics or chemistry but who wish to further their background in the sciences, gives the students a general knowledge of almost all sciences. Through these courses, students are grasping a wealth of information for a world demanding superior knowledge of mathematics and science. Judy Wriqht is observing some small, ono-collod animals, invisible to the naked oye. But, with the aid of the microscope, sho can see the minute creaturos found in the hay infusion she proparod.

In government and economics me sen.ors koop up with current events by d srussmg them one hour each week. Chuck McFall, Norma Kohlor, and Sarah Miller are considering tho steel strike. In order to graduate, all seniors are required to take one semester of U.S. Government and one semester of economics. The former gives the seniors a better understanding of how our govern- ment operates on the local, state, and national bases; and economics acquaints them with im- portant trends in making a living. Through lectures, group and panel discussions, and films these students learn more about the great heritage of our United States. U.S. History, which is required for all juniors, encourages the students to take an interest in the story of America including everything from the adventures of Columbus to current events. To lecrn more about the historical background of other countries like France, Germany, and Great Britain students enroll in the elective subject, World History. This course also gives the students a view of the changing times of the past centuries and how they fit into our own history. HECKAMAN TRAILER MFG. AND BUILDER J. R. ARNOTT AND SON—Insurance and Real Estate all countries of our vast world Ancient Rome is a point of great interest for people traveling to Italy as Ron Kendall, Roy McDonald, Tina Knoble and Ruth Stuckey, students of Latin II, are observing from the map. and through languages. Rome wasn't built in a day and neither can a knowledge of Latin. Latin is the basic foundation for other languages around the globe. A great many English words are derived from Latin roots, and these are studied in both years of Latin offered at N.H.S. The first year includes a general study of the language of the Romans, and Latin II is primarily about Julius Caesar. Latin is almost a necessity for vocations dealing with medicine, such as doctors, nurses, and phar- macists. Many scientists also find a knowledge of Latin helpful. The Latin classes have an annual feast called the Roman Banquet, which is held early in the spring. The menu is strictly Roman and the after dinner entertainment is furnished by the students of Latin II, as illustrated in the picture below. Costumes and music enhance this annual event. This is a scon© taken from th© play givon at tho Roman Banquet. Appear- ing in this musical comedy, Th© Death of Caesar, are Karen S. Goorgo, Loren Berger, Roy McDonald, Roger Holdorman, and Ron Kendall, a very much allvo Julius Caesar. DOUGLAS W. PRICE.

Home Economics and Shop_____________________ For the girls, home economics otters unlimited ideas for future home management and provides excellent preparation for the modern homemaker of tomorrow. From the freshman to the senior year it teaches the basic skills of planning and cooking balanced meals, setting the table correctly, and decorating the home. Because of the modern sewing equipment, the girls have an opportunity to work industriously in their wardrobe planning and sewing course. In addition, home nursing and child care are taught during the second year. As a highlight of the senior year, the 'matrimony minded' girls carefully plan their own weddings from their color schemes to refreshments. What could be a finer climax? It's not just a women's world, for the boys have special in- terests, too. Their work is done in the shop department where various courses include drafting, wood and metalworking, and mechanics. Besides the freshman requirement of a semester of both woodworking and drafting, advanced machine and architec- tural drawing are taught along with metalworking on the lathes, as shown in the picture below. This course is taught for a two hour period. The first hour is spent in the classroom and the other hour in the shop working with the autos or metalworking machinery. This industrious looking crew, Tom King, Lyle Faulkner. Fred Slabaugh, Jay Stouder, and Bob Slabaugh are working on their projects at the metal lathes. 10 KACY'S—Sinclair Producis RAY H1VELY—Plumbing and Heating Sorvic© offered in practical and fine arts ...

While Marleno Parks and Betty Andrews varnish their decorative fall plaaues, Linda Heckaman and Judy Schori study a finished product. Music, Art, Business, too. ' Music makes the world go 'round, and it plays an important role in our worlds, too. Concerts and football halftime shows are produced by our music department, one of the finest in this area. Band and chorus both stress the idea of working together to present a finished product—music. Students of art have a chance to test their crea- tiveness and originality. Classmates act as models and seasons of the year influence their type of work. They learn to use different mediums such as water colors, pastels, oil paints, and just plain pencils. The art classes are responsible for bulletin board displays, for decorating the halls before basketball and football games, and for providing banquet and dance decorations—all duties which they performed very well this year. Business courses at N.H.S. include typing, short- hand, and bookkeeping. Co-ordination between quick movements and thoughts is emphasized in typing and shorthand. In bookkeeping the students are familiarized with real business and its oper- ation, plus the use of a ten-key adding machine. Yes, our first world is just what it implies, a world of study. Now, turn the page and meet the people who give life to our many worlds at N.H.S. Maxine Welty checks tho work as Lou Ann Wyman makos a computation on the adding machine. This necessary procedure is familiar in the bookkeeping class.

Teaching at N.H.S. entails much more than six hours of classroom instruction. Most of the teachers on the staff sponsor classes and clubs in their many activities through the year. Our coaches, too, have a big undertaking with many hours of practice and work-out. All these extra activities add to their already big responsibility of teaching, which includes their own homework of preparing lessons and tests, and grading papers and essays. In the summer months, many faculty members take advanced college courses and attend work- shops to further their education. Weekly meetings and committee work aid teachers in broadening their professional outlook. Devotion to arts, civic activities, church, and home characterizes the out- side interests of our superior teaching staff.

Mrs. Woodhams. the school nurse, divides her time among the three Nappanee schools. She maintains a spotless, well-stocked office where she looks after the general health of the student body by checking for contagious diseases and testing eyes, ears, and throats. Safety precautions for the school buses, the cafeteria, and its menus also come under her supervision. She counsels and encourages girls interested in nursing as a vocation. Annie” in her familiar white uniform is a welcome figure to ailing students. Her jolly, wholesome personality, as well as her technical skill, have meant a happier, healthier year at N.H.S. Lunch in the high school cafeteria is not only economical but also nutritious. Mrs. Rice, cafeteria director, plans the menus, which are approved by Miss Livingston, the home economics teacher. Working in the spotless kitchen, the three cooks use modern equipment that assures careful prep- aration. They prepare meals for both the high school and South Side Grade School. Thus an average of four-hundred students and teachers are served each day. These aro tho women working behind tho scones so give us those delicious hot meals: Mrs. Isabelle Rogers.

Daily the school cafeteria hums with lively conversation as many studonts enjoy the hearty meals. and supplies are essential. Efficiency and friendliness are characteristics of the bookstore clerks, custodians, and bus drivers. They are the people behind the scenes who give us our supplies, keep our school clean, and get our rural students to school ... on time. The bookstore is open mornings and noons selling paper, pencils, notebooks, and all other supplies at nominal cost to the students. It also is the headquarters from which workbooks, sup- plementary to many courses, may be purchased. Trying to keep our enviroment pleasing is a major undertaking when it entails all the little jobs that are demanded of the custodians at N.H.S. Eddie and Eldon accomplish practically every little job in the book from repairing the miniature parts of a pencil sharpener to waxing and polishing the acre of tile that we mark up every day; and they're never too busy to unlock the door after hours for a frustrated student who finds he has forgotten his chemistry book.

The time has come to leave our beloved high school world and to strike out individually on separate paths of life. With us we will carry the memory of many unforgettable experiences, climaxed by those of our exciting senior year. Special features of this year included conduc- ting concession sales at wrestling matches and basketball games, selling candy, sponsoring a record hop, and presenting the traditional class play. All of these activities provided funds for the sensational senior trip to New York City. Activities played a vital part in each senior's four years of high school. Those that were of major importance included music, sports, dra- matics, publications, clubs, and class officerships.

HINTON AND ANGLEMEYER— DUNHAM AND LOVE—Prescriptions and Fountain Service 27 Juniors look We, the juniors, had a very busy and profitable year earning money for the 1961 class trip and planning the Junior-Senior Reception, which was given on May 20. Reception committees were chosen in February, and they worked diligently until the very day of the exciting event. The principal money-making project was the traditional magazine sales which added consider- ably to the class coffers. We feel that this year has been very beneficial in many ways and are eagerly looking forward to our senior year.

The one that stands out most in our minds is the choosing of our class rings. Though sizes were measured and down payments were made, they will not be ours to wear until the beginning of our junior year. During the winter months we conducted the sale of Queen Anne turtles which was this year's principal means of increasing the class treasury. Secretary-troasuror, Carol Hollar: sophomore president, Gary Schneek; and Joan Noffsingor, vice-president meet in the surge area for a chat between their classes. We, the freshmen, began our high school career with enthusiasm. In the spring v e ambitiously attacked our class project, which was the tradi- tional paper drive. Through co-operation and hard work this effort proved to be profitable. Here we've caught vice-president, Tod Lehman; freshman presi- dent, John Yeager; and Betty Martin, secretary-treasurer at the candy counter, stocking up on goodies for the day. We, the eighth graders, began our activities early in the fall by selling concessions at the football games. Throughout the year we also sold candy during the noon hours. These projects provided funds for the educational trip to the Chicago museums. We feel we have profited from a variety of new experiences this year and are very glad to be a part of N.H.S. Janot Lemna, class secretary-treasurer, waits patiently as Carolyn Mullet, vice-president gets a drink. Bob Best, president, is our gentleman holding the faucet. 30 Class of ’62 Row 1: George Adams.

Let us now take a look into their extra-curricular life. A trip through the halls during activity period would acquaint you with their many clubs and organizations which add special interest to the daily schedule. Such activities encourage friendly associations with classmates, provide good training for leadership, and open up new worlds of interest. The president stood with gavel in hand; The meeting progressed exactly as planned; Clubs and societies both large and small, Our World of ACTIVITIES, interests for all. 35 Porlia MuttchWr, secretary-treasurer; Mike Orn, vice-president; and George Frees� , president of the soctoly are discuss.ng final arranaomen.s for the College Night. High standards challenge students. Members of the National Honor Society are selected by the faculty with scholarship, service, leadership, and character forming the basis for selection. Fifteen percent of each graduating class is eligible for this honor. The society held the second annual College Night during the Christmas holidays. All juniors and seniors planning to attend college and all former students who were in college were invited to this social event held in the all-purpose room. Under the direction of their sponsor, Mr. Weddle, the members completed a project which has been cn undertaking for several years. They finished the plaques which display the names of honor society members since 1945 and placed them in the main foyer of Ihe school. They feel this will stress achievements in academics. They also placed with these plaques the small engraved plaques of the valedictorians dating back to the class of 1947. The members of the National Honor Society are automatically members of the student council end took a very active part in the council's work. Finally, after several yoars tho plaques are finished and are being displayed in Ihe mam loyer. Left to right are John Coppes. Gary Culp, Mike Om.

The high school student council, a member of the National Association of Student Councils, was very active again this year with projects, pro- grams, and discussions. They sponsored Nap- panee High School's first homecoming and the crowning of the first homecoming queen. They hope that it will grow into a bigger project in the future, an annual event. The council members were also responsible for holding locker inspections, selecting and present- the year’s assembly programs, decorating the Christmas tree, supervising cheerleader elections, and solving problems arising in our school. To make the public aware of the academic achievement of the school, the council worked out the semester grade averages of the students, classes, and the entire school and published the results in the school paper. Each underclassmen homeroom elected one person to represent the group on the council and the remainder of the membership of twenty-five was made up of juniors and seniors elected to the National Honor Society. Portia Mutschler, secretary-treasurer; Gary Culp, council president, and Susie Templeton v:ce-pres.dent relax at the coke machine alter a meeting. The council purchased special pins for its members to wear on meeting days to make the student body aware of their representatives' com- mitment. Row 1: Sandy Warren. Joanno Slabaugh.

Variety enhances Senior and The Senior Y-Teens had a wonderful year packed full of a variety of events. In the fall the seniors initiated the sophomores during the annual picnic at Mrs. Miles' cottage at Syracuse lake. For their projects the Y-Teens bought a blanket for the Nurse's office, helped with the February Heart Fund Drive, and spent many hours making decorations for the Mother-Daughter Banquet held in December. Each program was new and different. Guest speakers with hobbies or occupations of special interest to the members entertained them. Other programs included a talk by the basketball coach, a movie, and a style show.

Junior Y-Teen clubs’ programs. The Jr. Y-Teens, composed of eighth and ninth graders, is an affiliate of the Young Women's Christian Association. Throughout the school year the club met bi-monthly for such programs as skits, movies, musical entertainment, panel dis- cussions, games, and guest speakers. Service projects were the girls' principal accomplishment of the year. They also held two informal parties which provided special fun.

By having local business men and professional men speak to them, they endeavored to reach another goal, a part of their purpose to create a High standard of Christian character. Other programs included movies, hob- biests, and a combined meeting with the Y-Teens. Their chief money making project of the year was the coat and hat check at the basketball games. The club also conducted the annual cloth- ing drive and took gifts to the Beatty Mental Hospital at Westville. For their own enjoyment the boys went swim- ming at the Y.M.C.A. in Elkhart and had a party at the lake financed by the club's money-making project. Devotions given at each meeting by the cap- able chaplain made the meetings more meaning- ful and added a special touch that is a dominant characteristic of the Hi-Y club, a member of the Young Men's Christian Association.

The membership of the Jr. Hi-Y is composed of eighth, ninth, and tenth grade boys. Two of their officers were sent to the training conference held during the 1959 summer. It proved very beneficial and the club plans to send more of its officers this year. These boys were given new ideas for Hi-Y work and learned ways of improving their club. Many interesting programs throughout the year included such things as speakers, movies, and discussions. As a club project, at Christmas time the members sold cards and ornaments which increased the funds in the club's treasury. By stressing a good Christian way of life, the ciub was helpful to all its members and influenced the molding of better characters.

This small group also performed at many civic organizations during the year. The boys' quartet, George Freeso, Lowis Naylor, Lee Hochstetler, and Gary Culp, are proparod to lavor us with some close harmony. Approximately one hundred twenty-five students participated in the high school chorus this year. The group was under the direction of Mr. Jerald Robertson. Combining with the high school band, the chorus blended their voices for the annual Christmas Concert. On April 2 the chorus took part in the District Contest at Columbia City. As a climax to a wonderful, year, the group melodi- ously presented a Spring Festival on May 3. Many individual members entered the Solo and Ensemble Contest, bringing home a number of honors. Other honors were awarded as letters to the senior chorus members who had been mem- bers of the organization for at least three years. These presentations took place during the Spring Concert in May. The chorus will lose the ex- perience of twenty-six seniors, but hopes to gain many greenhorns. BOSTON STORE—Men's and Boys' Wear, Ladies' and Girls' Ready to Wear, and Appliances 42 C. W.

Harmony in the band includes more than harmonious music; there is no discord when the members co-operate in its endeavors, one of which was their band trip. This trip was the high- light of the year and included a tour through the Fort Wayne Art School and Museum, a concert at Union City, Indiana, an overnight stay in Muncie, and a rehearsal with Mr. Earl Dunn, director of the Ball State Teachers College bands. Their three concerts and final appearance at Commencement showed superior talents on the part of the players and director alike. Along with the marching band which presented the half-time shows at the football games, the twirlers also contributed a special bit of entertain- ment for the fans. Connie, the drum majorette, was patient and served the band very capably for two years. The band council is the representative group of the senior band.

Financially the Napanet wa3 in capable hands with John Coppes, Suzie Calbeck, and Rob Lehman acting as business managers, and with Mr. Weddle the business advisor. Studies, friends, activities, sports, and social life formed the core of the worlds of Nappanee High in the 1960 Napanet. Using Tennyson's words, So many worlds, so much to do, as their theme, the staff produced a seventy-six page edition, four pages larger than the preceding year. Under the direction of Miss Hoover, Editor Gary Culp, Co-Editor Portia Mutschler, and the eleven members of the staff worked to capture the spirit of the school year. The financial management of the book was handled by Business Manager John Coppes with the assistance of his advisor, Mr. Weddle, and the other members of the business staff. We who have spent many hours compiling and organizing information into an interesting, read- able form, hope that you will appreciate our efforts to bring a memorable and informative account of the year 1959-60 in Nappanee High School.

On the gridiron the boys demonstrated a great deal of courage, skill, and nerve, and their enthusiastic team spirit showed well during the terrific battle against the Bremen Lions. Senior. Jay Stouder, earned the honor of being placed on the All-Area Football Team. Nine other Nappanee football players made the All-Area Second Team or received honorable mention. As the season's records show, two contests were lost by narrow margins, and one game was tied. However, the team's six victories far over-balanced these and were proof of the ability to respond to fine coaching.

In the fall of 1959 Mr. Keith Dougherty took over the duties of varsity basketball coach for Nappanee High School. His well chosen squad consisted of seven seniors and three juniors, who combined their techniques and talents to provide an exciting season of thrills and heartbreakers. The first and last of the eighteen scheduled games were gratifying triumphs. The losses in between Traditional Hoosier Hysteria” took over during the two annual tournaments.

The pep band plays at all the home games and co-operates with tho pep club in a variety of novelty yells. Intramurals provide a sport for all. The intramural program, directed this year by Mr. Jon Mayfield, gave sixty-five boys who did not participate on the high school basketball teams an opportunity to show their athletic abili- ties. Six teams, each consisting of four boys, bowled on Mondays after school. Each Wednes- day evening the six basketball teams met in lively competition. Tournaments in both of these sports events climaxed the intramural activities of the year. Kent Stuckman hopes for a strike to put his team out in front. There's plenty of action on tho floor as the intramural basketball tourney gets undor way. 61 Row 1: Stan Lopp, Jan Cleveland. Jay Stouder, Kent Stuckman, Randy Woddle, Gary Schneck, Dick Conrad.

Aro Parseghian. head football coach at North- western University, was the distinguished speaker at this event, and a number of boys received special recognition for outstanding athletic achieve- ment: Jay Stouder, most valuable foptball player and most outstanding senior athlete; Gary Stutz- man, basketball captain award, sharing the honor of most valuable basketball award with James Stouder; Jan Cleveland, free throw trophy; Douglas Weaver, most improved football player; and Steve Hockert and Phil Evans, co-captains in football. 62 Givo mo an N, and its succooding letters are a favorite yell of tho enthusiastic block. Organized cheering features yells. A new addition to N.H.S. activities this year was the organized pep block. This club of nearly one hundred girls was a spectacular sight with each girl wearing identical blue and white jackets and matching gloves. The group traveled to sev- eral neighboring gymnasiums and participated in all the home basketball games where it formed a variety of words and letters and cleverly por- trayed yells. Seven peppy girls, the B-team and varsity cheer- leaders. led and co-ordinated the yells and di- rected attention of the spectators toward the pep block. The varsity cheerleaders devoted a great deal of time to perfecting the performances of the group. On October 17 they traveled to Indiana University for the cheerleading conference and brought back with them many effective new ideas. The pep club and cheerleaders owe a great deal of thanks to their worthy sponsor Mrs. Wood- hams, who helped bring about their successful year. Vamty Cheerleaders Pat Masterson. Linda Heckaman, Caro!

The dance following the crowning of Nappanee High School's first Homecoming Queen inaugurated a series of memorable events throughout the year. Interspersed were the Snowball and Valentine dances, club and class parties, Sadie Hawkins' Day, and the senior class play. The climaxing social event was the traditional Junior-Senior Reception and Prom in May. What fun it was to dance and sing. Play tricks, crack jokes, make laughter ring. The prom, and plays, and parties, too . . . Our SOCIAL world, so much to do. 65 Our Queen is crowned. Ouoon Portia MutschUr is receiving tho crown from Miss Carolyn Miller during the Homecomina ceremonias at the halftime period of the Nappanee-Auburn football game. The tense moment finally arrived; silence prevailed in the bleachers and the announcement of the name of our first Homecoming Queen was made in the poem, The Sweetheart of N.H.S. The conclusion of the beautiful poem, which was set to music played by the high school marching band, revealed the name of our Queen; and Portia Mutschler was crowned 1959-60 Homecoming Queen by the 1958-59 Blue and White Queen, Carolyn Miller—truly Moments to Re- member.” Posing in full fominmo beauty are the 19S9-'60 Homecoming Queen and Her Majesty's Court.

STATE BANK OF NAPPANEE—Member of FDIC Queen is honored at Homecoming Dance. The first Nappanee High School Homecoming was introduced October 2, and included the Home- coming game with Auburn. The Student Council, through superior co-operation and hours of plan- ning, conducted and sponsored the elections, half-time ceremonies, and the dance which followed the game. Elections began two weeks prior to Home- coming. These included Queen's attendants from each underclassman class and three senior Queen candidates. The entire student body took part in the final voting, the day of Homecoming. During the half-time of the game the band presented an outstanding show with precision marching, using formations and music appropriately in harmony with the poem. The Sweetheart of N.H.S. To give the night of special touch, the Bulldogs won a smashing victory over Auburn's eleven, 33-0. As the evening's climax, the Homecoming Dance v as held in the multi-purpose room of the high school. All students and alumni of N.H.S. were cordially invited; several hundred students and adults crowded the dance floor. The new Queen and her escort shared the spotlight in a dance in her honor, bringing to a close a wonder- ful evening which will live in her heart and the hearts of many people for years to come. This was our first Homecoming and the Council hopes that it will set the pattern for many more in the future.

The enchantment of the West Indies was cap- tured by the juniors in their 1959 Reception theme, Calypso Capers. The atmosphere in the Athenian Ballroom of the Hotel Elkhart was set by the elaborate entranceway decorations which featured gigantic calypso instruments, flowers, and baskets of island fruits. The wall decorations portrayed life on the islands, and the table center- pieces displayed figurines of gaily dressed island people playing miniature calypso instruments. After the banquet the Welcome was given by junior class president, Steve Price; the Response was presented by senior class president, Dick Pletcher; and the reading of the traditional Will and Prophecy followed. Then the guests were entertained by the mystics of the talented ma- gician, William Powell. Continuing the evening's festivities the Senior Prom was held for those wishing to attend, with music provided by the Ben Mishler Orchestra.

Each year three traditional dances are held— the Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Valentine. They all are given unique titles and lend a special air to these holidays. This year the Sadie Hawkins' Day Dance was added to the list. It, of course, was held on February 29, and was a very, very informal affair at which the sale of the Napanets was initiated. But, let's not get ahead of our- selves. The first of the dances, held November 24, took the appropriate name of Holiday in Print, and was sponsored by the Journalism Club. Every- one enjoyed dancing to the popular music of the Ri-fi at this semi-formal. A little more on the formal side was the Snow- ball, December 22. Snow, candles, and the music of the Belvedeers set the romantic scene glamor- ized by a large multicolored snowball and glitter- ing ornaments suspended from the ceiling. Moving on to Saturday night, February 13, we found ourselves enjoying the Valentine Dance. This was a girl-ask-boy, semi-formal, and called for home-made corsages designed by the girls. Prizes were awarded to the girls whose creations showed the most originality. Dick Pletcher, Terry Pippengor. Larry George.

Their dates at the Valentine Dance were Rob Lehman and Gary Stutzman. There were fads, fashions, fun, and finals . . . Variety was the spice of our social life at N.H.S. Although the major social events were scheduled and planned long before the time of realization, our social ties were binding us together every day. As soon as a student entered the door to begin another day of school, friendly exchanges were being made through words, deeds, and actions. At noon, friends gathered after hearty meals to discuss the mornings happenings, last night's basketball game, or the latest fads in clothes and hair styles. Our days were too busy and exciting to end with the three-thirty dismissal bell. Often there were committee meetings, athletic practices, music rehearsals, and students studying in the library after school. Our evenings were occupied with club parties, dances, play practices, and frequent athletic events which drew large crowds of fans, adults as well as students. Our candid camera found some of our N.H.S. students in action as they carried on a well rounded day filled with study in the modern class- rooms or quiet study corners at home and fun on the way to school or in the halls between classes. It also caught some fans at an exciting moment in a football game, the seniors in their Halloween skit, Y-Teen girls devouring the refreshments at their lake party, and above all, it captured the faces of many of the people who made our Social World complete . . . our friends. Here's a frustrated fellow who fears he'll flunk finals. Mike Orn studied late in preparation for his final exams. With research papers and other special assignments all deadltned for the same time, every senior was kept busy until his last day of school.

But there were rewards for the hours of toil. Football or basketball, or even a track meet, All find our fans rising, their heroes to greet. Fads and fashions would come and go, But the fun we had will be remembered, we know. Football fans display their faith in the team by boosting them to victory. An exciting moment at a football game sends the fans of the Bulldogs to their feet The Halloween Festival was filled with fun, The foolery included everything under the sun. A feast at a party meant hot dogs and cokes; Fun consisted of games and some practical jokes. But what would the Worlds at N.H.S. be, Without our friends working in close harmony? Foolery and fun are main features at the Hallo- ween Festival. Many of tho somors not taking part in the spooch play have fun presenting a skit called Boners Schoolroom. Those shown here are Sarah Wrtght, Chuck Blevins. Bob Stouder, Terry Pippengor, and Stove Hocfcert. A feast for the famished finds favor among femmes.

Mrs. Waltor McDonald is purchasing candy from two enthusiastic sophomore salosmon, Kay Moore and Robin Wallace. With one purpose in mind—New York City— the classes conducted their projects with enthu- siasm and determination. Each class had a tra- ditional money-making plan and then was allowed to schedule dances or to contrive other schemes to swell their treasuries. The traditional project of the freshmen was their paper drive held in the early spring. Because basements and garages were bulging with the winter's accumulation of newspapers and magazines, the frosh had an opportunity to fill several trucks to overflowing. The sophomores sold Queen Anne candies dur- ing the early winter months to supplement their accounts, and to put them on the second plateau in the climb to their senior trip. The juniors conducted their magazine sales the first five weeks of school, selling subscriptions to the people of the community and surrounding areas. Prizes and certificates were awarded by the Curtis Publishing Company to students who had accomplished certain sales requirements. Finally the seniors had the perennial candy sales of tofiee, Katydids, and chocolate almonds. Their class play also contributed to their trip fund. By virtue of their sales of the Napanet, their selling concessions at home basketball games and wres- tling matches, their sponsoring a record hop and the first Sadie Hawkins' Dance, and their making a few small payments individually, they had sufficient resources to finance their long awaited five-day trip to New York City. Recording the day's progress in the magazine subscriptions salos is a duty of the tumor homeroom captains, Sandra Martz, LaVonda Stahley, and Stan Lopp. Seniors Charles Blovins, Phil Evans, George Freese.

Kit Laughton (Linda Price) inherited an old country home called Elm Lane from her uncle. Her aunt, Mrs. Frazier (Connie Haney) and family decided to move in and help Kit make a tourist resort out of it. Mr. King (Dick Conrad), Anna (Portia Mutschler), and Buck (Steve Hockert)— three crooks who live next door—discovered that there was oil on Kit's property, and determined to get rid of the family and buy them out; they caused many creepy things to happen. Through these strange experiences. Kit and her friends, Cherry (Susie Templeton), Jack Hunter (Mike Mitchell), Bill Frazier (Chuck McFall), and Ted Garvey (Gary Culp) met many unusual people— tourists, friends, an oil prospector . . . and spooks.

Senior week brings to a close four wonderful and busy years of high school life for seventy- two Nappanee High School seniors. Some of these graduates will look back upon this week and treasure most the seriousness of Baccalaureate services; others will cherish the gaiety of the prom, the packing for the senior trip, or the finality of Commencement. Doubt, a little fear, and a lot of curiosity accom- pany these young adults as they face the world on their own for the first time. As they return from their trip to New York City, the week after grad- uation, a sad note will be played in their lives as the good-byes that must be said set them forth on their separate ways. Though successes and failures may crowd the future of many of these young people, they will never forget the Blue and White for which they shaied enthusiasm, the school where they shared in learning, the parties they shared in fun, and the projects in which they shared in work. These are the moments that will live in the memories of these graduates as they set out from N.H.S. Senior Week plans began long months boloro tho realization of those special activity filled days. In the first picture our typical N.H.S. senior, Carolyn Yoager, 1� .n Joying a coke with a group ol friends. Their topic of conversation is possibly the choice of a class flower and motto.

Measuring for the caps and gowns is one of tho preliminaries for Senior Week. Here in the third picture Carolyn is watching Mrs. Phillips stretch to determino the lonath of a graduation gown needed by a tall senior fellow, Charles Blevins. Though the senior trip will not begin for throe iays after gradu- ation, a few anxious seniors packed some of the unmentionables early. From all appearances in the fourth picture. Carolyn will have to sit on Ioann Ingraham's suitcase to holp her close it. Wrinkled robes need pressing after Baccalaureate services in anticipation of Commencement. Connie Haney, Rita Nettrour, and Carolyn find an ironing board and begin the task. Finally Commencement night has arrived and these soniors Carolyn, Roy McDonald, and Pauline Ketzcl are already dressed for the occasion. 74 Although our book of high school life has come to its finale, to the seniors its sequel is just the beginning of an- other life in an entirely different world. Yes, these have been the many worlds in which we lived for four wonderful years of high school life, but they are drawn to a halt by graduation, usher- ing in many new worlds, giving mean- ing to our motto, Your future lies ahead; make it what you will! There were So Many Worlds, So Much To Do, In this eventful year we've just lived through. From this May, back to last September, Our senior year gave us Worlds To Remember. But now the time has come to part. And on our separate paths we'll start To live our future with tasks anew, Where we'll find So Many Worlds, So Much To Do. 'Tis not too late to seek a newer world. —Alfred Lord Tennyson Our valedictorian, George Freese, and salutatorian, Portia Mutschler, wonder with the rest of tho class of '60 what the future will have in store. 75 INDEX Administration ..................14-15 Bands ...........................44-45 Band Council ..................... 44 Basketball .................55-57; 60 Board of Trustees ..................14 Bockstore Clerks ...................19 Boys' Quartet ......................42 Bus Drivers ........................19 Cafeteria ..........................18 Candids .........................70-71 Cheerleaders .......................63 Chorus ..........................42-43 Class Projects .....................72 Classroom Scenes..................4-11 Custodians .........................19 Dancc-s ............................69 D'Bulldog ..........................47 Eighth Grado ..................;....33 Faculty .........................16-17 F.F.A................................49 F.
