TALK OF THE TOWN BY BETTY JOHNSON 773-3385

It was another busy week in Nappanee with club meetings, election day excitement, and the Presbyterian Church Jonah Fish Fry ending up the week’s activities! I started off last week with a Civic Theater board meeting at the park pavilion. While we gathered up chairs and met in the kitchen, members of the art class were busy sketching and ' painting main auditorium. Its surprising how often that build ing is buzzing with various activities and aren’t we fortunate it is available for, public use! Despite the traditionally expected rainy election day, I understand the turn-out was fine which goes to show that most people are very interested in our city government rfnd the welfare of Nappanee. I joined a small group of Eastern Star past matrons in grop ing our way through a thick fog to Mrs. Paul Christner’s home near Goshen on Tuesday evening. There were only 12 at the meeting, and I suspect most were home listening to-, election returns on TV. Oi course several of the ladies had also put in a long day working at the polling places from 5 a.m. until aftfm closing time. Nevertheless, we enjoyed'a game of canasta, occasionally checked on the election returns, and talked about our annual Christmas party coming up soon. According to several of the ladies present, I guess our recent cold snap wasn't so bad after all! I was surprised to learn that Mrs. Earl Tom reported gathering a few strawberries and raspberries that must of had their growing season confused! Mrs. Charles Byers returned home Friday from one of those delightful dream vacation trips we all would enjoy! I especially felt a. stab of envy when she told me about‘her 20 day river cruise on the paddlewheel steamboat, “The Delta Queen”, as this is one of the ex cursions we too hope to take someday. Mrs. Byers left from Cincinnati, Ohio, on (he S.S. Delta Queen and her trip took her to New Orlea'ns, La. and return with many stopovers along the route so passengers could sight-see and explore. She reports that the river voyage was smooth all the way and the few nights they encountered fog, the captain merely steered the boat shore on the mud and left the paddle-wheel churning away for the night! The Delta Queen is- the last of the paddlewheel steamboats, taking over night passengers, that still ply the inland rivers. It will accomodate 190 passengers, includes a social hostess to plan entertainment, an and features dinner music and dancing on board each evening. A unique attraction aboard the steamboat is an old fashioned calliope known to river folks as a “steam pie-anna”!

There are several different river cruises available to other places and of shorter duration but the one Mrs. Byers selected was on the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers and included stop-overs in such interesting places at Natchez, Memphis, the Acadian coast country of the lower Mississippi, and of course a marvelous three day stay in fabulous New Orleans. What a wonderful way to turn back the clock more than 100 years D to a colorful era of steamboat races, co 11 o a plantations, and hoopskirted belles: The Lewis Reeds took advantage of the short school holiday and took Wewis Jr., Jody, and young Tammy to visit the Reed grandparents in Gettysburg, Pa. last weekend. The Reeds are fortunate in having relatives who live in such a historic part of the country, and despite the briefness of their stay, Jody and Lewis hoped to do a little sight-seeing while on their trip! This is birthday week at th? Johnsons and we started off the festivities with a supper party for eight young ladies on Sunday evening. Among those second-graders who helped our birthday girl celebrate, were the three Susans Susan Anglemeyer, Susan Stillson rnd Susan Lutes —and also Christie Miller, Jan Dougherty, Gail Armantrout, Cindy Eilers, and Betsy Best. It was a busy evening of games and chatter and I think most ol the girls enjoyed the chicken pie supper, hommeade ice cream, and birthday cake! I understand one of the latest fads in my old home town of Bloomington is .a Barbie Party for little girls with birthdays! Since many of the younger set have the Barbie dolls, each party guest brings an item of wearing apparel or accessories for the dolls wardrobe. It sounds like a different idea! Twelve couples of the Methodist Church Keystone Class enjoyed a pot-luck supper and evening of fellowship last Friday evening. We are sorry to have missed this one ns I understand the losing team in the game contests must host a chili supper next time around! The John Brunsoes and their two small sons were weekend visitors at the home of Mrs. Enid Brunso. The Biyinsoes now live in Decatur, Ind., where John is an elementary school principal. Mrs. John Spencer, who lives near London, England, returned home last Friday after spending a week in Nappanee as the guest of the Dale Gwins. Mrs. Spencer liked Nappanee and the surrounding countryside very much and especially enjoyed her visit to a Town and Country Club meeting as there are no such womens clubs and gettogethers in England. A glimpse of Chicago was showm Mrs. Spencer on Wednesday when she accompanied Mrs. Gwin, Mrs. Dean Guard, and Mrs. Darwin Hively on a shopping trip to the windy city. Our English visitor decided Chicago seemed veryAnuch like London except for being bigger and much more modern! The Gwins and their house guest were also visitors in both the Max Gwin home and also the Art Heemstras of South Bend. It was a busy week for Mrs. Spencer being introduced to numerous Hoosiers and our American customs. We hope she returned to England with a good impression and happy memories of our country and its people! I‘m hoping some of our readers w ill share their holiday plans with me! We are fast approaching the season for roast turkey, mince pie, family get-togethers, and holiday preparations. Asa special new addition to the column, I’ll disclose a favorite recipe for pumpkin cake next week: I hope you girls who kke to cook will be looking for it! OBEDIENCE CLASSES The public is cordially invited to attend the graduation exercises of the Elkhart County Humane Society Obedience Training Classes to be held on Monday, November 18 at 7:30 p.m. in the Elkhart Y.W.C.A. gymnasium.

Further obedience training classes are being planned by the Humane Society.

TEEN SCENES BY PAT STOUDER

The Community Building was a scene of fun and laughter, Saturday night, as the senior boys took on the men teachers in a Donkey Basketball game. There was a wonderful turn-out for the game and the people found out that it was a great way to spend the evening. It seemed as if staying on the donkeys took so much work and energy that the game was practically forgotten in the shuffle. Only two baskets were made the entire evening, and naturally it was the seniors who scored the points. Jim Phillips and Ted Martindale took the credit for a basket apiece. The purpose of the game was to raise money for the senior trip. The seniors deserve a vote of thanks for sponsoring this evening of entertainment and hilarity for the town. Construction on the school is progressing rapidly. Last week the walls of the classrooms were put up. Everyone is anxiously awaiting the day when the new addition will be completed especially the teachers, who find themselves having to yell to be heard over the hammers, saws, cement mixer, and so forth. The new northwest wing will be ready for use when the new year arrives. Students, and teachers alike, were happy for an extra day of loafing (?) over the week-end. Because of Veteran’s Day on Monday, there was no school. The interne diate band gave up a part of their extra day to march in the parade, and several members of the senior high choir got together in the morning to go through possible music for the Christmas Concert, to be held Sunday afternoon, December 15th. This concert is a combined effort of the bands and choirs. Tuesday morning found us back to the same old routine of school— actually, I think, most kids were glad to be back, they don’t know what to do with themselves when they have so much free time! The Junior Miss Pageant will be held on Saturday evening, November 30th. There are 18 girls who are eligible to enter. These girls are in the top ten per cent of the senior class. They must model in sportswear and evening gown competition and present a 2 1 /z minute talent routine. Mark-up this date and plan to attend the pageant to watch the girls compete. The student council has been working very hard on a dress code for N.H.S. Many students are often wondering what is proper to wear to school and school activities. The council has drawn up a code which may be followed, but it is not compulsory. Some examples of the list are: boys should wear belts with pants that have loops for them, shirts made to be tucked in should be worn this way, also there should be no extreme hair-does for boys or girls. The council needs to be recog nized for the efforts they put forth to draw up this code.

The Pep Club is in the process of getting ready for the basketball season. They have met during a couple noon hours, and also last Wednesday evening. Jackets have been distributed to the girls and seats assigned. New yells are being learned so that the girls mayback and support the team on to victory! George, the cameraman, was at N.H.S. last Wednesday, with his assistant, Mike, to take individual pictures of underclassmen. Everyone has doubts as to what the outcome will be, but George did his i best after all, you can’t improve j much on nature! Marching band pictures were also taken. Poor Mr. Webb had quite a time getting ranks and files straightened and the right number of kids in each one. You would have thought we had never marched before. | Mr. Tim Madigon, who had been helping in the music department, has completed his student teaching i and gone back to I.S.C. Some | students were sad to see him go, for various reasons. Seriously, I’m sure the students at N.H.S. want to wish him the best of luck! Who knows, someday he may come back to Nappanee as a teacher. | The “Lucky Strikes” Bowling team remains in first place as the girls go into their seventh week of bowling. Top bowler last week was Janice Wise with a game of 142. Well, that’s all for this week, but I’ll be back next week bringing you the news from N.H.S.
