P1117-' if 3-ii: CLASS HISTGRY On September 6, 1938, thirty of us came tripping merrily to Shipshewana School, to find out what school life really is like. My! we had a wonderful time learning to work and play together during those first six years. Ah! Now we had arrived in Junior High with a class member- ship of twelve. This was really fun. We no longer had our sche- duled recesses, but we did have a little time between classes to rest our weary minds for a little bit land to get rid of some of our excess energy.D Finally in the fall of 1946 we came back, not as part of the Junior High but as part of the real, genuine High School with twenty-one members. Our class officers for our Freshmen year were as follows: Pres., David Yoderg V. Pres., Dewayne Bontrager: Sec., Mary Jo Bontragerg Treas., Robert Yoder. Several weeks after school was in session, we were initiated with a bang. In our Sophomore year we chose as our class officers: Pres., Dewayne Bontragerg V. Pres., David Yoder, Sec., Mary Jo Bontrag- erg Treas., Barbara Carpenter. This year we had the privilege of initiating the Freshies. We took advantage of our opportunity too. we also chose for our class colors black and gold and or- dered our class sweaters. Now we were finally juniors. Our class officers were: Pres., Dewayne Bontrager, V. Pres., David Yoder: Sec., Mary Jo Bontragerg Treas., Robert Yoder. we got our class rings and pins during this year. During the second semester we presented our play nYour's Truly Willlen. Then came the high spot of our Jun- ior yearg the Junior-Senior Reception. we took the Seniors to Pokagon State Park for our banquet and had a wonderful time. Here we are. Seniors with a class membership of thirteen. we still have four original members who started here in the first Grade. These members are: Mary Jo Bontrager, William Haarer, Robert Mishler, and David Yoder. We, no doubt, have made quite a few mistakes but hope to benefit by them. We hope to leave something that will have helped to build up the school and to have left a good example to the students who are year after year coming to take our place. This year we elected the following as class officers: David Yoder, Pres., Robert Yoder, V. Pres.: Sally Hart, Sec.5 Dewayne Bontrager, Treas. For our class motto we Chose nToday Decides Tomorrown. During the first semester we gave our play HBeads On a Stringn. We decided to go to the Smokey Mountains for our Senior Trip. Now we are presenting to you our annual, the SUWANIAN. Q I ' fr A' .

I'll tell you of folks that are npert and niftyug In our senior class of nineteen fifty. we're blest with an orator, by now of great fame, He's also class president and Dav1d's his name. Likes nbatchlng with boy friendsn, Oh! What a life, He'll weary of this and ask for a wife. Dewayne is our treasurer and Hdream mann, I hear, He's loved by the ladies from far and from near. He's bound for Alaska--so lot's of good luck! But we'll always remember that he wrecked the Hold truckn. The youth of us all is adored Mary Jo, A dark-haired girl who always has a beau. A dainty, refined, and musical lass, The willing helper of all in the class. Bob Mishler plays the nivoriesu and marimba, you know, Seems he's got lots of talents and ability to show. But in traveling he needs a horse or Hsichn, For he drives his pop's car right in the ditch. Roger Krugh is best known to us as Nsupeu, He is the best comedian ln the whole group, He keeps his jaws in motion with gum and a song, And his favorite pastime ls playing ping-pong. We'1l next mention Rollin, a product of Schrocks, For his furry top, he has pretty red locks. He has only one girl friend 'tis easy to see, She stays like his shadow from 8 until 3. Harriet is jolly and full of fun, Well liked by almost every one. A m1ss1onary'teacher she plans to be, In the state just north of Tennessee. Ernie is just different, he cuts quite a role, There's no other like him from pole to pole. His hobbies are photography and model airplanes. And he takes little interest ln what boys call nflames Bob Yoder is ncuten and as neat as a pin, The girls wish he had an identical twin, He picks on brunettes, 1t's plain to be seen, He really steps out for a boy of seventeen.

She's quiet-and peaceful with no desire to roam, we think she'1l be a nmakern in somebody's home. Our class would be quite incomplete without a bashful one, And we have him in Jimmy, Orva M1ller's son. He's good at playing basketball and also keeping rules, But forgets his timid spirit--meeting girls from other schools. Sally is the shortest and the Hkidn of us all, Envies folk who are slim and quite tall. Especially likes music, horses, and men. God only knows where she'll stop and when. Dear principal and teachers, we've caused you to fret, But the mercy you've shown us, we'll never forget. when we're all examined in earth's final run, May we make it to heaven and hear His nwell donen. PROPHECY The year 1960 has arrived and that means I must now go from house to house counting noses. As I'm driving in the suburbs of a small town, I stop at a cute little cottage where I see Donna Bowman out in the yard dir- ecting children at play in a day nursery. I stop to see my old chum, and she tells me that she married her high school sweet- heart and started her own nursery with four. During one stretch of my hourney, I stop at a small log cabin at the opening of a large national forest. I see Dewayne Bontra- ger, former basketball star, coming to meet me. He is dressed in the uniform of a Forest Ranger. He informs me that he married a girl he rescued in the woods, and they now have six children. Nearing civilization again I come to a large palatlal home. As I stand patiently awaiting the doorbell, Dave Yoder, a former president of our class, answers the bell. He tells me,he is now ,the Ambassador to Norway, and he often takes his wife and three 'children with him on his trips. Approaching the driveway of a nice suburban home, I notice on the door the name of Roger Krugh, a former ping-pong champ of Shipshe High. when I inquire about the number in his family, his pretty blonde wife tells me that they have five little youngs- ters. Roger is supposed to be a comedian on the ,radio and has a program of his own. U ' Q '1 , D u ,I HLA I . . 41- FIX I vga I' , . ., Q ws ? .'B f'Ti ,Al .

It is Ernie Lobsiger, who now is a scientist specializing on rocket ships. He proudly introduces me to his wife and two children. -Coming to a rather large house near the edge of a small town, I stop to see who lives here and how many members of the household there are. A sign that advertises wallpapering and painting is in the front yard. Asking for the head of the house, I am surprised to see it ls Robert Mishler. He tells me he has built up a prosperous business with the help of his wife and four children. As I drive to the grounds of a large orphanage, I ask for the superintendent of the home. I discover that Harriet Himes is the nMotherH to these children. She married the president of this institution, and she also has three children of her own. I am glad she has realized her desire to help the underpriviledged. ' Coming to a large house, I see five red-heads playing in a large yard. I recognize them as being the children of a former classmate of mine. Rollin CRedD Schrock answers the doorbell and I see he married his high school sweetheart. He tells me his occupation is being an efficiency expert. He believes children come cheaper by the dozen! As I approach a cozy cottage, my attention is arrested by the strains of some beautiful music. A dark haired girl leads me ln- to the music room and there is Mary Jo Bontrager, accompanying her violinist husband. She tells me that she goes with her hus- band on his concert tours to accompany him. Traveling in the country again I notice on a large dairy barn the name Robert E. Yoder. I recognize the name as being a grad- uate of the class of 1950. I meet Bob in the yard and he takes me to the house to meet his wife from the freshmen class and children. He informs me that he was the first one married in his class. Driving down the highway, I stop at the next house to see how many occupants this home has. I see to my surprise that the head of this home is Jim Miller, former high school athlete- He tells me he is the second baseman for the zollner Pistons. His family includes his pretty brunette wife and three boys who are sprout- ing ball players. Leaving the town for the open highway again, I approach a large horse farm. As I drive in to see how many live in this home, who should answer the door but sally Hart. She always was fond of horses. She tells me she married a rancher and has brought up her five children to be good horsemen also. The next house I come to is a cozy cottage. When I stop to inquire about the census, a pretty brunette house wife answers the door. She informs me she is the wife of Bill Haarer, former classmate of mine. He is now the principal at the high school in this town and also raises an orchard on the side with the help of their two children. Since I have found out what I principaly wanted to find out, that of knowing the where-abouts of my former classmates, I will let mv assistant take over to finish taking the 1960 census. -7 1- v 11-f I 'UQQIWIH , JAo 4 .f af., ff--H M -ur' .-la. u.

The Indians had more trou- ble with county teams than usual,but this was offset by the scor- ing of wins over Middlebury, Elkhart County Champs, and Ligion- ler, Noble County Champions. The LaGrange County Tourney was held at Shipshewana last year. Below are listed the results: Howe Military over Topeka 49-29, Lima over Scott 67-49, Wolcott- ville over Mongo 55-43, Shipshewana over LaGrange 62-51, Bright- on over Howe Military 61-51, Shipshewana over Wolcottvllle 49-47 Cwhewll Brighton over Lima 62-54, and the final tilt: Brighton 52 Shipshewana 44. Things were looking up again for Shipshe when sectional time rolled around. The Indians entered this great event with a 15 won 6 lost record and tackled Ligionier in their -first encounter . They edged them out by a 32-31 score, but came back that night to fall in front of a hot-shooting wawaka bunch 45-34.

In November the Shlpshewana Community Chorus, under the sponsorship of the music department, began rehearsals for the annual presentation of Handel's nlhe Messiahu which took place on December 18 last year. The high school band made its first appearance at the first home basket- ball game of the season and played for each home game throughout the year. The band and choruses from the high school, Junior high, and the grades joined forces in preparing Christmas music for the grade operetta NSusanna's Christmas Auctionn. Several nights later the high school and junior high school chorus spent a very enjoyable evening singing carols for friends in the commu- nity. During the second semester, the music department maintained its active schedule. Several students entered the state contest in February with vocal and instrumental solos, receiving ratings of Hexcellentn and Hsuperioru. Early in the month of April the band and chorus gave a full even1ng's concert for the public. Many solos and ensemble groups added variety and interest to the program. Several weeks later the band and chorus Joined with other musical groups in the county to present a colorful county music festival. The final appearances for band and chorus came with the commencement activities. With this a very enjoyable and profitable year of music was brought to a close.

The local H1fY was under the following officers for the year of 1949-50: Dewayne Bontrager---President Bob Mishler- -------- Vice-President John Nelson --------- Secretary Rollin Schrock ------ Treasurer In attempting to carry out the motto of the H1-Y Nto create, Maintain, and extend throughout the school and community high standards of Christain charactern, the local boys have completed a number of projects. First, they undertook the 1949 district convention, during which they played host to some one-hundred officers, members, and sponsors of H1 and Tri-H1-Y clubs from LaGrange, Noble, Steuben, and DeKalb counties. Highlights of the convention were impressive devotions by the local clubs, song- fests, group discussions, and the banquet. The convention was sponsored in conjunction with the local Trl-H1-Y club. The Hi-Y has also attempted to be of community and national service. At the Concord-Shipshe game the H1-Y boys passed the blanket to aid the March of Dimes to fight infantile paralysis. They netted a total of S27.5O. In order to show thanks to our creator the boys gave a basket of food to a needy family at Thanksgiving. 7 f ----'U yy 'Q ' Q' rl I A N -f-x n J9 '.. , - l' I --Ivy mfs 4, 1 I A, . , . r + -fm, ff' -:v.
