1961 NAPANET Nappanee High School Nappanee, Indiana Volume XXXVI As Time Moves on . . . From the time we enter high school to the time we receive our diplomas, our days are filled with studies, people, activities, sports, and social events. For most of us, time passes much too quickly. Though school is difficult and at times we feel it is unimportant, we realize the heavy responsibility placed upon us as we gradu- ate and enter into a community where before long, leadership duties may be ours. Time is an important factor in our everchanging world. By taking advantage of educational and recreational opportuni- ties offered by our community and school, we can be prepared well to take our places as leaders of our country. ♦ ♦ ♦ We Live and Learn at Nappanee High School This past year has been filled with many exciting and memorable occasions. Our traditions and customs, plus our memo- ries, have made our days interesting and worthwhile. We are experiencing a new emphasis on science and mathematics. Training in these fields must reach an all-important high level. Come with us while we relive the eventful hours of this past year . . . AS TIME MOVES ON.

English is a required course for the first three years of high school. A college preparatory course requires four years of the study of our amazing language and its uses. The tools we learn to use are given a workout in composi- tions. as well as in our everyday activities. The second semester is devoted to the study of literature, both old and modern. Classroom participation in reading and interpreting stories is very beneficial to students enrolled in this course. Speech class members gain abilities in many kinds of speaking. In addition to their classroom speeches, debates, and discussions, they present a skit at Halloween and Christmas. Dixie Weaver, Kirby Miller, Mary Miller, Jill Stahly, and Maribeth Price examine antiques in Junior Practical English Class.

These students presented Cinderella at the Latin banquet. Connie Searfoss calls out the words for the game of Latin. Latin is almost a necessity for vocations dealing with medicine. A knowledge of Latin is also helpful to scientists. Many of our English words have Latin roots, which are studied in both years of Latin offered at N.H.S. The first year course is devoted mainly to a general study of the language of the Romans, and Latin II is about Julius Caesar. A Roman Banquet is held annually by the Latin classes. The menu is Roman and the entertainment is furnished by the students of Latin II. 6 FOODTOWN SUPERMARKET HECKAMAN TRAILER MFC. AND BUILDER Maps and Charts Intrigue Pupils. All seniors are required to take one semester of U.S. government, and one semester of economics. Through these courses they learn more about the operation of our government on all levels and also the important trends in making a living. With the aid of movies, lectures, and discussions the students learn more about the heritage of our country. U.S. History is a required course for juniors. This subject encourages the students to take an interest in the study of America. World History is selected by students who wish to learn more about the historical backgrounds of other countries. It also gives a view of the changing times of past centuries and how they fit into our own history. Studying this map of the Roman Empire are Bob Berger, Tom Dean, and Barbara Anderson.

Three courses of science offered by N.H.S. are biology, physical science, and physics. Biology is the study of plants and animals in their classes, from the simplest forms to the most com- plex. Physical science is offered for the students who wish to further their backgrounds in science. They are given a general knowledge of many sciences. Students of physics study mechanics, heat, light, sound, and electricity, dealing with matter and energy that do not involve change in composi- tion. LEHMAN HARDWARE CO.

Our changing times with the many modern conven- iences prove to us the importance of mathematics. Algebra I, which is usually taken by freshmen, teaches its students the fundamentals and rules in solv- ing problems and equations. It also prepares the stu- dent for algebra II in which the advanced math student can further his knowledge of numbers, graphs, and mathematical rules. Courses in plane and solid geome- try, offered alternately, enable a student to have four years of math. General math is primarily for the students who do not care to study algebra, but who do want to fulfill the requirement of one year of math. These students are taught to solve general problems they will meet after they graduate. The most advanced math class is trigo- nometry, which pertains to the measurement of triangles and the relationship between their sides and their angles. These students are solving problems for their advanced algebra class.

The type of work varies with the season of the year. Models include vases, flowers, houses, and even classmates. The art classes are respon- sible for bulletin board displays and decorations for bas- ketball and football games, banquets, and dances. All sophomores are enrolled in a three weeks’ course in drivers' training. It teaches them the basic rules of safety on the highway and gives them experience in driving.

After twelve years of fun and learning the mem- bers of the class of '61 find themselves completing high school, ready to use the knowledge they have gained. This last year has been the busiest and most excit- ing of all high school years, and one which seniors will never forget. Many projects to help finance the traditional senior class trip were undertaken. Among these were a rec- ord hop, selling concessions at wrestling matches and basketball games, selling candy, and presenting the annual senior play. The class chose as its motto, Behind us knowledge; before us opportunity. The class flower was the yellow rose. Although many new experiences await the class, the ones left behind will never be forgotten.

Vice-president Jim Martz, president Gary Schneck, and secretary-treasurer Carol Hollar take time out for a coke. The juniors started the year with their annual magazine sales campaign.

The school newspaper, the D’Bulldog, is published bi-monthly by the Journalism Club and the advanced typing class. As a money-raising project the Journalism Club held a beatnik dance, the Bongo Rock. The proceeds were used to finance the two D’Bulldog issues featuring sports pictures. Much work goes into getting an issue of the D'Bulldog ready for distribution. After the latest scoops are written and the typists have typed the material, the two editors assemble the news on the dummy pages. Then the typists cut the stencils in preparation for the final production. Kaaren Chandler, editor, and Karen Sue George, junior editor, prepare the headlines for the D'Bulldog. D'Bulldog typists work hard to get out another publi- cation of the school paper. DR.

The hard work of the athletes and the spirit of all the students help to make the sports year interesting. N-Men Subscribe to Many Sports. The N-Men's Club, sponsored by Mr. Young and Mr. Dougherty, had a very successful year. Besides the customary car washes in the spring and the fall, a record hop was added this year as a new project. The money received from these projects was ap- portioned in accordance to the budget adopted this year. The annual N-Men's banquet, honoring coaches and athletes, was held on March 10 in the multi- purpose room. The guest speaker was Mr. Don Odle, head coach of Taylor University. The N-Men's picnic was held at Lehmans’ cottages at Syracuse Lake and was attended by mem bers of the club and their dates.

These girls are only a few who enjoyed dancing during the noon hour.

Six teams, each consist- ing of four boys, bowled on Mondays after school. Marilyn Lutes concentrates on the bowling pins be- fore sending her ball down the alley. Each Wednesday evening six basketball teams met in sporting competition. Tournaments in both of these sports climaxed the boys' intramural activities of the year.

During the school year the high school classes had special projects to raise money, which was used for their various expenses and saved for the annual senior trip. The freshmen, the first to have a project, changed from the traditional paper drive and sold pens, which had the 1960 football schedule printed on them. The sophomores during the early months of winter sold Queen Anne candies to increase their treasury and to boost them onto the second rung of the ladder in their climb toward a senior trip. The juniors worked industriously during the year selling magazine subscriptions and planning the annual Reception. The bulk of the money received from the magazine sales was used to finance the Reception; the remainder was kept for their senior trip. Throughout the year the seniors had many projects to increase the funds for their trip to Washington, D.C. Among these were selling candy, presenting a play, and selling Napanets. All their endeavors were successful, and they earned enough money for their long-anticipated journey. TOP PICTURE: Sandy Martz and Jerry Lambert arc buying pens from Jo Ann Yoder, and Carol Dishcr.
