1962 NAPANET NAPPANEE HIGH SCHOOL NAPPANEE, INDIANA VOLUME XXXVII We mix fun with work Inside the walls of Nappanee High School the students busily mixed fun with work during the 1961-62 school year. Each year the school has grown larger. Halls became more crowded, and many new faces were seen as our student body increased. To provide additional space the study hall had to be divided into two class rooms; this ne- cessitated using the multi-purpose room as the study hall. The school offered complete pro- grams in three different areas: a col- lege preparatory course, a general course, and a commercial course. Twenty-two school sponsored organi- zations, plus a vigorous sports and a sports booster program were available. Knowing that much was expected of them, the student spent long hours of tedious study on homework. Students remember well their burning the mid- night oil on Thursday nights in order to finish English themes and to study for those government and history tests. But writing weekly themes and tests did not compare with the time spent in writing term papers which were required in various courses. Yet school consists of more than studies. There were many fun and frolic filled occasions throughout the entire year. Teen Town dances, attempts to discover the prom theme, and the hope of defeating Elkhart in basketball were only several of the many highlights. These and other portions of friendly activities added variety to the otherwise serious study routine. at Nappanee High School. Portions of our Friends.................. 5 Studies..................32 Organizations............43 Sports...................61 School Life..............73 Portions of our Friends The memories we have of friends we knew in high school will always be cherished. With them we shared unforgettable moments. With administrators and teachers we considered more serious ideas. With classmates and other students we enjoyed pleasures, exchanged problems, studied diligently, and ban- tered playfully. We may forget some of the book knowledge gleaned from our high school days, but we will never lose the joy of having friends at Nappanee High School. 5 Their motto is efficiency, Mr. Osborn takes time out from his responsibility of administering Nappanee Community Schools.

He is a member of the American School Administrators Association. The Indiana Superintendents Association and South Bend Field Chapter of Phi Delta Kappa are among the professional groups to which he belongs. He is a member of Nappanee Kiwanis club. For relaxation Mr. Osborn cultivates a rose garden that is the envy of neighbors. Planning academic curricula, counseling students, advising teachers, and scheduling school events are only a few of the principal's duties. Mr. Weddle is currently a member of the Curriculum Committee of Indiana Secondary School Principals Asso- ciation and the Nappanee Kiwanis Club. Outdoor sports rate high in his preferences of activities. The golf course is a special haunt of his in the summer- time; bridge is his recreation during the winter months.

The entire school personnel was shocked by the death of one of its most revered teachers, Wayne E. Best, who had been on the faculty for twenty-six years.

The time has come when the seniors must put to use all of the things they have learned throughout their school yeais. During their eighth grade year they moved into the new Nappancc High School, making theirs the first class to complete four years of high school at East Side High. As juniors the class decided that they would be different; so they voted to hold the annual prom at the high school building. At first it made the seniors of '61 unhappy; but by the time the prom was over they admitted it was the greatest ever. The senior year was the busiest and most exciting of all for these students. They worked tirelessly selling candy, concessions at the basketball games and wres- tling matches, play tickets for A ROCKET IN HIS POCKET, and also NAPANETS. The money earned from these projects helped to finance the wonderful five day trip to Washington, D.C. Marvin Eastlund, vice president; Carol Hollar, secretary-treasurer; and Donald Shaw, president like to show that they are big seniors.

Isn’t It Too Bad That We Playing host to seniors at the traditional Junior- Senior reception requires a considerable amount of money in the treasury. For their fund raising project the juniors demonstrated their salesmanship by going beyond their goals in selling magazines. Betty Martin was high salesman and chose a record player as her well earned award. Soon after the beginning of the second semester jun- iors were seen whispering stealthily when in the presence of seniors. Yes, they were trying to keep the reception theme a well guarded secret; that is a difficult feat when inquisitive members of the graduating class endeavor to leam all about the gala spring affair. The juniors look forward to the days when they will be the privileged seniors at East Side. Betty Martin, secretary-treasurer; Tom Dean, vice- president; and John Yeager, president, look over the selection of paperback books in the study hall.

They were ini- tiated and called greenhorns, but they realized that it was all in fun. Their traditional class project was selling blue and white bulldog crested pens. The freshmen worked hard, challenged by new and more difficult studies. They gained much ex- perience by participating in high school clubs and activities, adding to some of their thrilling moments which made up their memorable first year of high school.

GREENE PONTIAC SALES AND SERVICE Portions of our Studies Graduation from Nappanee High School indicates that a student has completed a minimum of sixteen units of study. Among these units are two majors with three full years of work in each. The student must also have earned credits in two minors of two units in each course. By state law students are required to enroll in three years of English and one each of government and economics, mathe- matics, United States history, and science. A unit of health and physical education is necessary. Many elective courses are available. Students who are interested in music and art find their talents challenged; mathe- matics and science are offered for those with special curiosity in those subjects. Specialization in particular vocations is not neglected at N.H.S. Business courses, home economics, and woodworking are among the electives which often result in majors for many students. Many additional courses enable the graduate to have a diversified background. English comprises ninety per cent of N.H.S. College preparatory courses in English are offered to students planning to attend college. These classes provide intensive study of the elements of English. To practice the fundamentals of composition, stu- dents are encouraged to write one theme a week. Seniors are required to enter the V.F.W. essay con- test. America the Beautiful--How Long without Clean Water? was the title of this year's essay. Practical English is the choice of students who do not wish to follow a college preparatory course. These students learn the basic principles of written and spoken communication. A second semester of literature is included in each of the three years of practical English. At the beginning of the second semester, English is replaced by literature. The seniors study English literature, the juniors American literature, and the sophomores and freshmen general literature courses. Short stories, drama, and poetry are included in each of these classes. With the aid of the opaque projector, senior English students Carol Hollar and Linda Jensen give a speech on Medieval London. In the practical English III class Mr. McKee adds a little humor to the lesson. Compliments of THE NAPPANEE LIONS CLUB Lorene Stichter, Gary Golden, and Frederick Jen- sen check on the proper way to make a vocation's outline in English II. More students enroll in Latin and speech Genek Popowzak, a first year Latin student, illustrates and explains the Roman calendar to his classmates. Latin is sometimes considered a dead language, but it comes to life at N.H.S. in the form of skits and games. A game Latin is played by the students to help increase their vocabulary. This game is similar to Bingo; Latin words are used instead of numbers. At the annual Roman Banquet guests come attired in Roman dress, eat Roman food, and enjoy Latin entertainment. Because Latin is the basis of many languages, it is of vital importance in a high school cur- riculum. Second year Latin students Maria Popowzak, Carol Holdcrman, Diane Meyer, and Barbara Senff practice their parts for the Latin play. Miss DiCamillo's speech class reverently re hearses for the annual Christmas play, The Birth of Christ. COPPES NAPANEE KITCHENS 34 Social studies broaden inquisitive minds Delving into government, economics, world history, and U. S. history, N.H.S. pupils examine the world. Term papers on Communism and re- ports about famous Americans and current events are added as outside assignments. One semester of government and one of economics are required of seniors. Each senior is urged to attend at least one city council meeting to acquaint himself with local government. U. S. history, required of all juniors, looks into facts of early American history, the Civil and World Wars, and discusses national and international problems. World history pupils study ancient tribes and the Renaissance. Many students find that a vast majority of occurrences and decisions of the past have had a definite relationship to our lives. World history students, Ralph Tobias, Terry Reasor, and Ralph Moore seem to enjoy the as- signment Mr. Gundcrman is giving them. While giving a special report on North Carolina, Diane Hare shows Jim Rock and Paul Lundal where that state is located. Randall Weddle, and Gary Schneck thoroughly read the newspaper so that they will be well prepared for current events discussion in gov- ernment class. 35 COPPES, INC.

Four courses in mathematics are taught at Nappanec High School, one of which is required for graduation. Because of irregularity in scheduling, advanced algebra was not offered, but it will be available next year. Business mathematics is intended for students who do not want to major in mathematics or who arc not following a college preparatory curriculum. Solving written problems, quadratics, and square roots arc only a few of the skills learned in first year algebra. Freshman students are encouraged to enroll in this class. The geometry class includes mainly sophomores and juniors. Part of the course consists of making constructions and proving theorems by using previously learned assumptions and corollaries. In addition, geometry helps a student develop logical thinking. Students in the senior mathematics class cover a variety of units. The main fields are trigonometry, modern algebra, analytic geometry, calculus, and solid geometry. Greg Truex, Ron Foeckler, Wayne Berger, and Den- nis Templeton write geometry proofs.

Chemistry students Paul Lundal, Joan Noffsinger, Sandra Warren, and Leon Weaver demonstrate the diffusion of gases. At least one year of science is required for gradu- ation from Nappanee High School. This year biology, physical science, and chemistry, which is alternated annually with physics, are available. Biology is offered primarily to freshman and sophomore students. During the first semester the study of plant life is emphasized. Each student pur- chases a disecting kit containing thirteen embalmed specimen which are examined to learn about the digestive, respiratory, and circulatory systems of various animals. This constitutes the second semester's work. For those who prefer a general course, a year of physical science is offered. In this class students are introduced to the principles of astronomy, physics, chemistry, and electricity. Chemistry is studied in either the junior or senior year. In addition to daily assignments and laboratory work, a student must enter either the Nappanee science fair or give a report on a science book. Ralph Tobias, assisted by Mr. Copeland, proves that the warmth of hands creates the fast expansion of gases. YODER CABINET CO. PLETCHER MOTOR CO. INC.

The freshman girls enroll in a semester of cooking; during the second semester they are required to make a gathered dress. Included in the sophomore and junior years are courses in home nursing and management, child development, foods, and clothing. The sophomore girls must make a fitted garment. As juniors they construct wool, fitted skirts. The sewing project of the senior girls is a fully lined suit. In addition to this sewing unit the girls study courses in nutrition and in mar- riage and family relations. The girls also learn to prepare special dishes such as shrimp creole.

A finished product such as a table, desk, or cabinet means that the student has learned many phases of construction, from reading blueprints to the proper methods of applying wood finishes. Students enrolled in mechanical drawing classes learn to draw machine parts by the use of instru- ments. T-squares, scaled measurements, irregular curves, and compasses are used. Drawing house plans to scale by applying techniques employed by trained architects is a part of the skill attained in this course. Auto mechanics is a two hour course popular with boys who are interested in cars as a hobby or who might have a future vocation in mind. Students become acquainted with engines by disassembling and reassembling them; they do tune-up work or make major repairs involving rings and valves, working on their own cars or perhaps teachers' cars.

MOTHER’S DRIVE-IN Edward Lundal NAPPANEE ADVANCE-NEWS All The News That Fits Commercialists gain experience in business. Mr. Lehman, substituting for Mr. Postma, checks Carol Zcntz's accuracy on a five minute timed writing. A new course, office practice, was added to this year's curriculum. Learning to operate the dicta- phone, adding machine, mimeograph machine, and to apply advanced methods of typing are the main objectives of this class. Learning filing techniques and typing material for the teachers and the school contributions for the NAPPANEE ADVANCE NEWS are also projects for these commercial stu- dents. They type stencils, mimeograph copies, and assemble pages of the D'BULLDOG. Typing is an elective subject designed for stu- dents who want to go into secretarial work or who wish to acquire typing skills, which are helpful in writing term papers and themes faster and more neatly. Timed writing is practiced every day for the purpose of improving the students' speed and accuracy. Bookkeeping is an introduction to the principles of accounting with their application to individual, partnership, and corporation records. Principles of business law, economics, and taxation arc considered. First year typing students warm up on the conditioning practices before they begin typing business letters.

Barbara Slabaugh and Patricia Freed have fun throwing a medicine ball in gym class. The art classes develop individual artistic ex- pression through the students' work in crafts, graphic arts, commercial art, and design. Much time is spent working with still life as well as with other subject matter in a variety of approaches. Various media are used such as water color, ink, pencil, charcoal, and oils, which gives the students an opportunity to explore, practice, and develop artistic abilities. Members of the art classes arrange bulletin boards, decorate the halls before football and bas- ketball games, and decorate for dances and banquets. Jo Ann Ganshom and Theodore Foeckler must clean the icy windshields before driving in Mr. Nelson's driver education class. 41 Portions of our Organizations The students at Nappanee High School are kept busy not only with their studies, but also with extracurricular activities. This year twenty-two club activities were offered to add special interest to East Siders’ strenuous, every-day routine. These activities help to develop Christian character, to inspire new interests, to encourage a governing body, to practice leadership, and to create enjoyment. N.H.S. emphasizes scholarship.

National Honor Society officers, president Gary Schneck, secretary-treasurer Carol Hoffer, and vice president Randall Weddle, are perplexed by the lack of space for the 1962 honor students' names. Scholarship, service, leadership, and character are the traits a Nappanee High School student must possess to qualify for the National Honor Society. Fifteen per cent of each graduating class are chosen by the faculty of Nappanee High School. Becoming a member of this society is one of the greatest honors that can be bestowed upon any student. The main purpose of the organization is to put more emphasis on academic work in our high school. Stressing the importance of striving for good grades and taking a serious attitude toward studies are the main goals of the society. This year one project of the members was usher- ing at Nappanee Civic Theater productions. With the Student Council the group purchased an outdoor announcement board publicizing coming events at East Side High School. 44 Student Council stresses leadership As in the past the student council at Nappanee High School had a busy, active year. The council was responsible for conducting locker inspections, choosing assembly programs, supervising cheer- leader elections, and aiding Mr. Weddle in handling school problems. The council also decorated the surge area for both Homecoming and Christmas. Arranging a Blue and White Day on which stu- dents wore school colors, the council created a typical presectional tourney atmosphere at East Side High. A new student council constitution was written and a new committee was selected to help Mr. Weddle schedule school sponsored dances. Repre- sentatives elected by their respective homerooms in all except the senior class, and students elected to the National Honor Society comprised the mem- bership of the council. Karen Sue George, secretary-treasurer; James Martz, president; and Gary Schneck, vice-president, prepare for the annual homecoming sponsored by the Student Council.

Deadlines plagued the NAPANET staff from Septem- ber to June. In order to prepare a yearbook that rep- resents an accurate summary of the 1961-1962 year at Nappance High School, the editors spent inf inite hours preparing dummies, photos, and copy. An ever-increasing student body necessitates a larger yearbook; this year four additional pages were added to accommodate its growth.

The Senior Y-Tecns have enjoyed a very interesting year. Early in the fall the annual initiation picnic for the sophomores was held at Stauffer Park. The sophomores were slaves for the upperclassmen and had to do anything the upperclassmen ordered; this included eating onion and mustard sandwiches, and running around the track with their shoestrings tied together. The girls learned many things from this year's programs including what a policeman's work is like and how the Dutch people live.

The Students of Science Club is composed of eighth, ninth, and tenth grade students who arc in- terested in science. To remain a member, a student must enter a project in the science fair. The projects of the club this year were helping plan the Nappanee science fair and sponsoring a dance. The money earned from the dance was used to finance a trip to tire Chicago Museum of Science and Industry. The Tri-Sci Club gives persons interested in sci- ence an opportunity to broaden their knowledge of scientific developments by having speakers, films, and field trips. Members of the club must either enter a project in the science fair or write a science re- search paper. Planning the school science fair and taking a trip to the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago were the features of the year. 55 Hi-Y Clubs endeavor to create a FRONT ROW: Carry Croy, Jerry Stouder, Robert Coppcs, Rodney Widmoycr, Robert Berger, Dean Kncpp, Ronald Kendall, Robert Seebcr.

Throughout the year junior and senior boys helped to make the Nappance Hi-Y chapter of the Indiana Young Men's Christian Association a worthwhile organization. Members of the club conducted the annual clothing drive for foreign children. The hat and coat check at each home basketball game provided the main source of funds for the club. Special projects of the group included sending two boys to the Hi-Y leadership camp during the summer and planning to have a player scoreboard built for the gymnasium. At the regular meetings many inspirational speakers and films provided the club with an in- teresting year.

DOUGLAS W. PRICE, M.D. 60 J. R. ARNOTT AND SON Insurance and Real Estate Portions of our Sports In addition to our many clubs and organizations, sports are also very im- portant on our list of extracurricular activities. There are many ways in which stu- dents may participate in athletics. The varsity sports include basketball, foot- ball, and track. Through the Girls' Ath- letic Association and intramurals both girls and boys may take part in numer- ous competitive activities. Athletics in our high school have proven invaluable in the development of the physical condition and the char- acter of Nappanee High School students. Football requires both brain and brawn New head football coach, Paul Gunderman, started the mid-August training with twelve lettermen and forty other eager boys. Coach Gunderman and his as- sistants, Dave Nelson and Don McKee, guided the Bull- dogs to a 4-4 season. Twelve Nappanee High Schools records were broken: two were scoring the highest number of points in one game and tire most yards gained in one season. The speed of Randy Weddle and the defensive play of Ron Kendall earned tire boys spots on tire All-Area First Team. Dana Stickel was placed on the All-Area Second Team, and Tod Lehman received Honorable Mention. Ron Kendall was named the most valuable player and team captain. Senior Lettermen lost by graduation are Mike Geyer, Randy Weddle, Gary Schneck, Ron Kendall, Larry Mar- tindale, Ralph Tobias, Doug Weaver, Larry Andrews, Tom Rohr, Bob Seeber, and Kirby Miller.

Portions of our School Life Most students realize that much time and effort must be devoted to study and homework. As the years pass these students learn that not only were the long hours of study reward- ing, but that they were also fun. Yet the whole student body at Napanee High School is given the opportunity to relax and participate in many gay and frolic filled events. To open the school year there were Teen Town dances after the football games, a hay- ride, and the Halloween Festival. As the months moved on we soon came to December. This month held in store for the students the annual semi-formal Snowball Dance. Soon it was February, and time for the girl ask boy Valentine Dance.
