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.
