A thorough and sound education is dependent upon several factors. Namely: an instillation in the minds of the chil- dren, of a desire to learn, on the part of the parents: un- selfish financial and moral support of the school by the cit- izenry: the best faculty available: and a school plant which is adequate in size and equipment to meet, insofar as poss- ible, the needs of both the students and the community as a whole.

With the exception of the pictures, this book was completely compiled, edited, and printed by senior staff members of the Wakarusa High School, through the facilities which were available in the commercial departments Although the magnitude of the task can scarcelytm com- prehended by the average reader, those of us who have faithfully givenof'our time and talents to the production of this, the seventh edition of the Wakadee, feel thatthe practicality of the project and the joys of accomplishment are adequate remuneration for the efforts we have put forth, The staff appreciates the support which it has enjoyed from the subscribers, advertisers, parents, and friends who have manifested an attitude of sincere understanding in this undertaking, thereby contributing to the realization of an accomplishment, never before undertaken in this school. It is hoped that this annual will give you many happy hoursofreflection upontheyear 1940 and those preceding it.

'Q' THE PEACE OE THE SCHQCDE IN THE CGMMUNITY Vast outlays of money have been expended in many communitiesfor school buildings in order to further the educational opportunities of youth. There is no question about this being a wise procedure, for the training of the young people of a community becomes the locality's best investment. Why should not our boys and girls have equal educational opportunities with the boy or girl of the city? To meet this requirement we must continue to invest in order to keep in step with progressive education. Enlargement to meet the increase in population and additional equipment must be added from time to time. However, the public should have wider returns from its invest- ment. The modern school should be a community school. It should be the local museum, with evidences of past and local achievements. The school library should attract patronage from the whole community. In the shops, adults as well as youths should acquire new skills and enjoy new experiences. The Home Economics laboratories should stim- ulate home improvements for women of all ages. The gymnasium facilities, including lockers and showers, should be for adult play as well as in terms of basketball requirements. The school auditorium should be a place where adults constantly participatein.stage productions of their own, in forum discussions, in experiences leading to greater skills and higher appreciation in the fine arts. At present few buildings have been planned which give enough specific attention to adult and community needs. The locality will build the building best adapt- ed to its needs only after the public has been encouraged to discuss those needs widely and openly from a non-selfish angle and the sug- gestions of laymen as well as educators have been invited.

Youth should learn that very ear ly in life they must choosethe kind of individual they want to become This is one of the biggest problems you will face in lifeg this is the center of nearly all your inner struggles and conflicts, the question It is plain that you can not be all of the pictures which you may have imagined for yourself. We should select for ourselves those pic tures which will help us become useful, worthwhile citizens of the community All the way from the cradle to the grave, the building of a man's character centers about the problem of choosing a strong, consistent, balanced personality picture and having chosen it, never departing from it. Your moral destiny, your social influence, your intellect ual development--in short, your power as a person among your fellows depends upon your choosing the noblest self that is within the range of your possibilities and abiding by it. If we have been true to our selves, we can say, as Polonious in 'Hamlet' said to Laertes, To thine own self be true, And it must follow, as the night the day, Thou canst not then be false to any man ' Ora C Stryoker, Superintendent of Elkhart County Schools A MESSAGE FKCJM CJUK TKU5- LL 'There are trusts that are left to each of us that are of eter nal value. Two of these are: the right use of time and the power of choice. Our future depends on the right use of our time. We spend time as though it were so much money. Each moment lost can never be re gained. Our forefathers have handed down to us a heritage envied b the world. They did this by hard, useful labor and right choices Our beloved America came not by chance. Principles, sound and hard earned, are the foundation of our government. There have been so-called intellectuals, political and academic, rich, well educated who made it a fashion to sneer at things American. There have been those who have pointed at matured communism as the dawn of the king dom of heaven. Some of these are now repenting. It is a mighty ser ious thing to flout 300 years of growing civilization in this land to flout a flag from which womenand children have never fled in terr or, flout it for flags that since their first unfurling have waved over nothing but violence with political opinion free there is a task that invites virtue. May those who receive their diplomas from this school look forward to daysin which they will haveno regrets. May they look forward to days which shall abound in the joy that comes from time well spent and choices which merit God's eternal approval HarryB Holdenan, Trustee t 1 is X O ,Q Y '--- A Lfwilf Q .,N- gg 7 'V' ,Y I' y' ,0-,,..

To-night we assemble for one of the last scenes of our formal education. To you who have 'informer years attended various ceremonies of graduation this occasion may seem like the same old thing , but to us, the actors of the drama, it is a thrilling event. It is our first attempt at staging a High School Class Day exercise and the scene is as wonderful to us as if we were the first class to appear before an admiring public. To you this may be but an hour of pleasant entertainment--at least we trust it may be pleasant--but to us it is a scene of triumph. In behalf of the members of the Class of 1940, I welcome you to this scene of our final efforts. Had it not been for you, our parents especially, and the sacrifices whichyou were willing to make for us we would not have the privelege of being upon this stage before you tonight. Had it not been for all your combined efforts and the pushing, the pull- ing, the boosting and the assistance givenus by the patient and capable members of the high school faculty we students would not have been able to play our little part in the drama of education. This is indeed OUR day. Even the faculty members fade into insig- nificance beside us. We stand here, fearlessly before them, free to speak as we will without the intimidating thought that theymay call us down tomorrow for levity of thought or action.

The captain of the football team was David Cavanaugh and assistant captain was Virgil Pletchsr. Lucille Scott was chosen secretary and served as such for the games during high school. In our freshman year we played the team which consisted of Algebra, Biology, English, Literature, Home Economics, Manual Training and Agriculture. We thought that we would hardly win this game because of the two strong players, Biology and Algebra which were on the opposing team. The umpires for this game were Mr. Bowers and Mr. Wine. We won this game and celebrated with two class parties. Sixty students encountered the team consisting of History, Latin, Geometry, and English during our sophomore year. We chose as captain Louis Eby for the next three years. Our assistant was Alyse Summer. Our sponsors were Mr. Bowers and Miss Werntz. We chose as our class colors maroon and white. This was a hard game but we finally pulled through and were the winners. Fifty were still left for our junior team. The umpire was Mr. Bowers. The assistant captainwasRichard Weldyforthe next two years. Earl Musser served as treasurer and also for the senior year. This year the opposing team consisted of History, English, Latin II, Typing and Bookkeeping. we enjoyed a trip to Indianapolis. The Juniors also entertained the seniors by giving them a banquet at Hotel LaSalle in South Bend. The junior play entitled WSunbonnet Janeof'Sycamore Lanen was given. As usual two class parties were held during the year. There were still fifty strong on our senior team with no one dropping out. The opposing team consisted of Physics, Economics, Speech, Foods and Dairying. we gave the class play entitled WAnne of Green Gablesn. It was well attended and enjoyedbyzuld Our observers on the side lines during high school were Debate, Glee Club, Girl Be- serve, Hi-Y, 4-H Club, Boy Scouts and the Future Homemakers Club. We thought that we could hardly pull through becauseof'the severe tackles of Physics and Economics. But we finally reached our goal to graduate from high school into the harder game of life whichwas our motto Out of schools life into life's school.

That point of view is as distinctly the opposite of the truth as day is the opposite of Righty, When Theodore Roosevelt was Governor of New York, an articlefrom his penwms published underthe title, nCharacter and Suecess.n In that he used the illustration of the empire founded by Alexander the Great, which soon fell into decay afterthe death of the conqueror. Roosevelt shows that this was due directly to the lack of character on the part of those who succeeded Alexanderin.authority and the lack of character of the people. There are dozens of other historical illustrations that giveevi- dence of the general truth of character being of distinct practical value, Whether with individuals or nations, that is one of the prime essentials to genuine success. Daniel K. Pearsons wasapoorboy who became rich. He accumulated. enough wealth so that he was able to give something like seven million dollars to educational institutions and other worthy enterprises. He was once asked by a group of young men how he accounted for his abil- ity to earn and save his enormous wealth. He replied, UI'll tell you boys a secret. I did it by keeping my character clean. That's the only thing I had to start with, and it is the best thing any man can have. Without it you are not worth a pieayune.U A prominent commercial rating company that determines the credit to which business firms are entitled, makes this statement, nBetween Capital and Qredit there is always a relative proportion. Capital is the foundation, while character, ability and circumstance govern, qualify and create credit.U A man with character can secure a loan at a bank with less diffiv culty than another man with vastly more property but who lacks the right kind of character During the panic of 1857 depositors were drawing their money out of banks, A meeting of bank presidents was called in the city of New York and at that meeting some presidents reported that from fifty to seventy five percent of their deposits had been withdrawn that day There wasonermn Moses Taylor, president of the City Bank who had a differentstory totell. The depositsixnhis bank hadinoreas ed that day almost twenty per cent What was the reason? Why should people draw money out of other banks and deposit it in Moses Tayloris bank? People had absolute confidence inthe ch raeter of Moses Taylor. They believed in Moses Taylor because he was the type of man who ini There is power in the writings of Alfred Tennyson that can be asp cribed only to the purity of his life Without that purity his work would have been on a distinctly lower level spired confidenoe,A They felt that their money was safe with him. .

He was criticized for his ability, often critictwd for his deeds by those who thought he had made mistakes, but his char- acter was above reproach. That was the strength required to give him the prestige essential to carry him to the White House and to make him a power for good for all humanity in ages yet to come. Burns, the Scottish poet, is a tragic example of a life of great promise that fell far short of its possibility by reason of a lack of character. Napoleon wasa,great military leader but he lacked character and it was that lack which undermined1dm1and carried him into ruin and despair. Character safeguardsa.life, gives it power, assuring a more near- ly complete realizationof'the possibilities. He who builds on a foun- dation of character builds upon solid rock which is as substantial as the character of the individual. Call it sentiment if you will, never- theless the record of the past and present as revealed in the lives of men and women who have lived and of men and women who live now is con- clusive proof that there is nothing more practical in every day life for anyone who is seeking real success than sterling character. In the words of Lowell, 'When all have done their utmost, surely he Hath given the best who gives a character Erect and constant.n -QPau1 Davidhizar An Irishman who was coming out of ether in the ward after an operation exclaimed audiblyt I Hrhank God!

I heard you were sick, and I stepped in to cheer you upa,little. My friends often say, UIt's such a comfort to see you, Aunty Doleful. You have such a flow of conversation, and are so live1y.W Besides, I said to myself, as I came up the stairs, WPerhaps it's the last time I'll ever see Cornelia Jane alive.n You don't mean to die yet, eh? Well, now, how do you know? You can't tell. You think you are getting better: but there was poor Mrs. Jones sitting up, and every one saying how smart she was, and all of a sudden she was taken with spasms in the heart, and went off like a flash. But you must be careful, and don't get anxious or excited. Keep quite calm, and don't fret about anything. Of course, things can't go on just as if you were downstairs: and I wondered whether you knew your little Billy was sailing aboutixia tub on the mill-pond, and that your little Sammy was letting your little Jimmy down from the veranda roof in a clothes-basket. Gracious goodness! what's the matter? I guess providence '11 take care of 'em. Don't look so. You thought Bridget was watching them? Well, no, she isn't. I was her talking to a man at the gate. He look- ed to me like a burglar. No doubt she let him take the impression of the door-key in wax, and then he'll getin and murder you all.

How singular it is, to be sure, that you can't tell whether a child is blind, or deaf and dumb, or a cripple at that. age. It might be all, and you'd never know it. Most of them that have their sense make bad use of them though: that ought to be your comfort, if it does turn out to have anything dreadfulthenwtter withit. And more don't live a year. I saw a baby's funeral down the street as I came along. How is Mr. Kobble? Well, but finds it warm in town, eh? Well, I should think he'would. They are dropping downbydhundreds there with sun-stroke. You must prepare your mind to have him brought home any day. Anyhow a trip on these railroad trains is just risking your life every time you take one. Back and forth every day as he is, it's just trifling with danger. Dear! Dear! now to think what dreadful things hang overs usall the time. Dear! Dear! Scarlet-fever has broken out in the village, Cornelia. Little Isaac Potter has it, and I saw your Jimmy playing with him last Satur- days Well, I must be going now. I've got another sick friend, and I sha'nt think my dutydoneunlesslicheer her up a little before I sleep. Good-by. How pale you look, Cornelia. I don't believe you have a good doctor. Do send him away and try some one else. You don't look as well as you did when I came in. But if anything happens, send for me at once. If I can't do anything else, I can cheer you up a little.

Only a short period and then we shall behold ourselves as full-fledged graduates, citizens of the great, wordaday world, can- didates for all the honors and riches that the admiring populace has to offer us. There have been times we wonderedif'this day were ever goingto arrive. The old school clock has a way of poking alone at a most dreadfully slow pace when we are watching for time to pass: but now that we have won our coveted diplomas, the freedom they give us is tinged with sadness, We are surprised to find that we are more fond of these scenes and our merry schoolmates than we had imagined. As we lock about our pleasant schoolroom we wonder how we could have thought it dull and gloomy. Even our lessons, that so often seemed tiresomely stupid have taken on a rosier hue. With goodbye looming before us we are thinking that the years we have passed here have been very happy ones. Though the events of coming years may make the exercises ofthis day seem commonplace,and.ourfschoolroom butzahumble spot, let us still cherish the memory of our happy companion-ship in this, WThe cradle of our learning.W Here we have received the foundaticnforamy successthe future may bring us: these schoolmates have been the dear friends of our youth. Let us remain trueto them and seek, in all our work of the future to be a credit to the School which today sends us forth as high school graduates. -Josephine Eicher K- - - A - s....-..-- QL S s .533 5 I .mb???gg 4157, I' ref ef . 26 'IJ : 11, g I WXXNNE CDE ...,...p- ,-7 f -E - X ,,..--4 ' ..-4 Z-r GREEN GABEESN FRONT ROW, LEFT TO RIGHT: Norma Jean Harrington, Betty Chokey, Alyse Summer, Norma Sawyer, Janet Hochstetler, Iva Eby, Evadean Lechlitner , and Fern Rich.

In addition to the general standards of playing being raised to a higher plane of excellence, the department has add- ed two worthwhile activities: classes in flag swinging, a new art re- cently imported from Switzerland, and baton spinning. Flag swinging was so favorably received when introduced at the basketball games, the girls having made a guest trip to Bristol, that it has been decided to intersperse baton spinning and flag swinging at all appearances at future games. Numerous solos and ensembles made appearances duringtheyear and participated in district, state and regional contests. Forty students out of the band are members of the ElkhartCounty Concert Band and of the Reserve Band. Summer concerts are presented by the band and in this mannerthey have uniformedthe entire organization. Not only high school students play in this band but alumni members are invited also. The purpose of courses in Instrumental Music are three fold: to promote fun in music, better citizenship, and to offer opportunities for the talented student to discover himself. Rebecca Rohrer is drum major of the Wakarusa High School Bandand of the Elkhart County Concert Band as well as being in charge of the training of the flag swingers and baton twirlers. Graduating seniors who received honor sweaters from the County Concert Band were Betty Chokey, Iva Eby, Louis Eby, Lois Hunsberger, and Josephine Eicher. - ,sw Qx N .4 :fx 1 bf lfxfivu x 4 nit , 4142.1 Cut' '- ' un 4?

Some of the headlines were: AT NEW PARIS: It was anyones victory all through the game but BeMil1er sank a long deciding shot fronxthe center of the floor in the last min- ute of the overtime, to win 24-22. AT GOSHEN: Another thriller was at Goshen with the lead changing back and forth often and so it was tie, at end of playing period. It was still tie at end of an overtime so it ended up tie 19-19. AT MENTONE: Another money's worth was gotten at Mentone in the four team blind tourney. Finally BeMiller dropped in a lone free throw for the deciding factor in the overtime 24-23. AT NAPPANEE! Again Nappanee showed us an interesting evening but de- feated us in a closely contested tilt after scoring several baskets in the last minute 30-26. BOURBON HERE: Again we were treated with a thrilling and chilling vic- tory at the defeat of Bourbon 20-19, although they were ahead all the time till the last minute. PIERCETON HERE! Although defeated, the Pierceton game proved to be a thriller. Their taller boys proved to have the advantage of 2 points 28-26. Pierceton was the N. L. C. Champion. NEW PARIS HERE: Again an overtime between the rivals. This time the N. P. Cubs being the victor 20-19. lst TEAM 2nd TEAM Wakarusa 24 Bremen 8 Wakarusa 23 Bremen ll N Bristol Bristol U Akron Akron W Concord Concord U New Paris COvertimeD New Paris H Nappanee Nappanee W Goshen COvertime tied Goshen N Riley Riley N Mentone COvertimeD M Beaver Dam W Madison Madison W Syracuse Syracuse W Nappanee Nappanee U Bourbon Bourbon W Ligonier ' Ligonier U Pierceton Pierceton n New Paris COvertimeD New Paris n Milford Milford W Lew Wallace U Culver Culver N Madison Madison W Knox Knox W Nappanee COvertimeD Mffiiiu , Qs ' - .m 7,9.47 ' N ' X X ,Y 3- .f ,....- egg -f Pip? 4 I 1 'C WT A ti, - 1 N' J , - 6 fi rJ - I 5 5 Ur D f L L L f J J Front row Paul Brermeman, Theodore Weaver Harold Holmes Jun1or Letherman, Dave Gavanaugh Ju.n1or Mullet Phllip BeM111er, Vlrgil Bollman - Back row Leonald Myers, Robert Hu.nsberger,Ma.X Gerber, Bob Able, Arthur Tharp Eugene Chokey.

Its purpose is to promote good Christian fellowship among the boys of high school age. The aim of the club is to create, maintain, and extend, throughout the school and community, high standards of Christian character. The four fold objective of the club ist spirit, mind, body, and service, or in other words, clean thoughts, clean speech, clean sports, and a clean body. Not all of the members live up to all that the Hi-Y stands for, but it is hoped that the club is of some assistance to each member.

' The staff members working on this project have found it to be of intrinsic value. Members of the staff find their workcnxthapaper an aid to English, to History and several other subjects. They learn also the basic points on which a large newspaper is established. Then, too, they discover that of all the learning they obtain from staff work the most important is the development of character. By this last statement they mean that some of the following character- istics are broughtfourthzalertness, observance, sense ofco-operation taking of responsibility, respect for others and many, many more. Besides the note-worthiness of the paper in its immediate sur- roundings, it is also a paper to be praised elsewhere. The past three years it has received a superior rating in the National Duplicated Paper Association, which is the highest rating given to any duplicated paper. Also, many individual staff members have won recognition for their abilities as reporters, cartoonists, etc. The school paper of to-day is a great institution. May it con- tinue to be such with this as its platform: l. To constantly uphold the ideals of education. 2. To promote better discipline within the school. 3. To promote a real school spirit. ' 4.

Of the alumrui, the whereabouts of Norris Shirk was unknown: and no information was availableof'twoothers: 1913, Florence CFletcherJ Macbeth: 1916, Josie Miller. It is interesting to note how many of of this school. The high school teachers are Civics and History teacher, 88 years: 1910, Literature, and English teacher, 29 years: Training, Mechanical Drawing,andScience, 19 fStiverD Weldy, Domestic Science teacher, 2 1919 Glade Rohrer, our teachers are graduates 1898, Miss Malinda Werntz, Miss Esther Searer, Latin, Manual years: 1934, Mrs. Arlowene years: 1931, Miss Marion Hahn, MusicandArt teacher, W years:l926,Miss Virginia Freed, English, Literature, Physical Ed teacher of Junior high school girls, 4 yeari: 1935, Paul Weaver, Safety, Health, History and Geography to Jr. high school, 1 year, The grade school teachersarel909, Warren Holdeman, 6th grade teacher, 27 years: 1931, Dale Anglemyer, 5th grade teacher, 4 years: 1915, Mable Searer, 4th grade teacher,- 21' years: 1934, Mrs. Lois fYoderJ Weaver, 5rd grade teacher, 4 years: 1930, Vivian Hollopeter, 2nd grade teacher, 8 years: 1931, Mrs. Elma fWeldyD Stickel, lstgradeteacher for 6 years. There are 22 deceased alumrui in 41 years. I started contacting the members of the a1umriiiJ1December. I suppose some of them have changed their work and addresses since then, but there were so many names it was impossibleto check over them again, because the time was limited. I want to thank friends, neighbors, telephone operators, relatives of the alumrii and everyone else for cooperating with me in finding the information needed for this section of the annual, Since compiling the different classes the information of Arderi and Paul Stroup has been found. Arden Stroup graduated in 1928 and is employed as janitor of a bank at 15255 Franklin St., Tampa, Florida Paul Stroup graduatediJ1l929 is employed as a driver of a cross-country freight truck. His address is, Emerald Hotel, Chicago, Illinois. ' --Helen Eby, Alumni Editor 4 I 7' Wggmkx NEQUS' ff XS ' X- We I 28355 'R f T ' 1 For a number of years a Parent-Teacher Association existed in the Wakarusa Community Schoolin name but not in fact. There had never been a constitution adopted, nor a membership established. It seemed the part of wisdom that this should be done. Consequently, during the 1938-1939 school season a constitution was adopted and a membership established. The personnel of the com- mittee forthezformation of a constitution was named as follows: Leon- ard Freed, Dale Anglemyer, and Mrs, Maggie Weldy. This committee, to- gether with the president, Rev. Gordon Kemble met and formed a const- itution which was adopted at the meeting of December 12th, 1938. At the same time a membership drive was launched with dues set at the nominal sum of 3.10 per member. There was a total of 40 paid memberships obtained in the drive, others took membership later. I n the contest for securing members which was conducted, Alice Perry and Marjorie Holdeman, respectively, were awarded first and second prizes. The present officers elect for the 1939-1940 school term were: Rev. Gordon Kemble, presidenti Mr. Leonard Freed, vice-president: Mrs. Lucille Rohrer, secretary-treasurer: and Mrs. Emma Rheubottom and Mrs. Iva Eicher, members of the general council. The members of the program committee for the term, Miss Esther Searer, chairman, Mrs. Ernest Ghokey and Mrs. Iva Eicher. The association continues to adhere to its purpose as stated in the preamble of the constitution nto promote child welfare andcloeer relationship between the school and the home: to develop between educators and the general public such united efforts as will secure for every child the highest advantage in physical, mental, spiritual , and social developments: to co-operate with educators and legislators in securing adequate laws and regulations for the proper development of the present school system.N nbxi' 1 15 4 3 im ...xrggfg .n .nigaiflf CijS.,, ci' 'ff ' ' 33125 5 Ear: Uni l W 4 O , w C AL E N E491 Ii SEPTEMBER l--School again, of course, just to get organized after four months of vacation. 5--School reallystarted, now, Just short assignments were given. 14--Because of a heat wave, school was dismissed early. 15--Boy Scouts went on an outing to the Sand Dunes.
