Year-end Review

mascot a Panther—sound familiar? The West Park pavilion was granted historic designation, former Nappanee artist, Henry H. Maust, died at his New York home, Margo Unzicker’s prize llama earned a grand championship at the International Livestock Exposition, and Union Center students celebrated their 100th day of school by bringing in one hundred each of a variety of items. The Panther girls won a sectional title, the wrestlers set a point record and recorded five championships and two runners-up in taking a regional title, the Wa-Nee Waves Swim Club set 61 personal bests in the Concord Clipper Invitational, and Trevor Andrews, Todd Croy and Nate Schmucker were named All-Conference mat men. Jeff Schrock and Katie Mahon were crowned NWHS Sweetheart King and Queen, Mike McCauley was named new chamber director, Wendy Johnson became president of the Wa-Nee Drug Awareness Committee, and Gretchen Hess was among the final 12 contestants in the State Junior Miss Pageant, held in Frankfort. Cross stitch efforts by Ruth Mast earned her an award in hand craft competition, the high school Math Club continued competitive efforts, Edwin and Glenna Andrews celebrated their golden wedding anniversary, the girls’ basketball team won the regional Community service... Continued from page one. for the enjoyment of many generations to come. In addition to their passions and work, the couple still found time to be active in service clubs. Evelyn was a charter member of the Thursday Club, which began in 1941. She has now been given an honorary lifetime membership by the club. Fred served the Kiwanis for 25 years. He also volunteered as a fireman for 50 years, retiring in 1984. That same year he laid 54 years of work with the family business to rest. He still proudly remembers those days. Culp says there was "quite a change in equipment” during the years he served the fire department. He adds that they were for the better and made firemen better prepared and able to control burning flames. Evelyn pretends to frown as she recalls that “the greenhouse hours were terrible,” and "the fire department was kind of a nuisance.” But they both laugh in response and Fred admits that both statements are true and that his wife was left to keep the house and those in it happy, healthy and under control. But Mrs. Culp has had her share of revenge. Over the years her husband has had to chauffeur her all over the country for her command performances in costume. “He probably gets tired of watching them,” she admits, but her husband only shakes his head from side to side quietly. After 57 years of marriage they still blend harmoniously together and support one another in every adventure —large or small. Thank you Mr. and Mrs. Culp for all your years of service to the people of this community, which you gave selflessly.

The pages of their scrapbooks had new entries, as Megan Newcomer, Kara Scheumann, Jami Amy Sloat and Heather Weidenhaft, along with Coach Steve Neff, earned conference recognition—something to remember as the chapters of their lives move on. MARCH Even though the days of March are often brisk, and snow lingers, thoughts turn to spring at this time of year, and students look forward to closing the pages of school books, while they indulge in a week of spring break action. Oh the pages they fill!

Andy Hirschy joined the elite Elkhart County 1,000-Point Club, the community was shocked when an area triple murder included a North Wood sophomore as a vic4im, Gary Fuller was named Nappanee EMT of the Year for 1993, and Bob Chokey earned the Director’s Award. Farmwald Lumber closed a business chapter in the community, as announcement was made of a going-out-of-business sale, local police received advanced firearm training, a trio of 300 games were bowled by Steve Hockert, Rich Guernsey and Tony Bliss, all at Gold Crown Lanes, and it was announced that Trevor Andrews would play in the summer’s allstar footbalj? game, with Panther Coach Rich Dodson joining the coaching staff for that contest. Woodview Elementary hosted a family carnival, Stauffer Park was the site for the annual Rotary Easter egg-huntifig contest. Ball State University students shared their “depot visions” for the Nappanee train station area, and the NWHS Quiz Bowl Team was named first in the NLC.

Pages of many past yearbooks were reopened, as former “Bulldog” fans from Nappanee schools expressed wishes to retain the mascot and blue and white colors for the local elementary school. Those were the days... APRIL The bravest flowers are beginning to poke through. How nice to be able to pick a bouquet to brighten up your reading comer. If daily devotions haven’t been a practice for you, now might be a good time to start —and of course, your guide to richer living has to be the alltime best-seller, the Bible. Nappanee’s source for reading of all kinds is, of course, the public library, which announced plans for its annual April library week observance, “Tune In.” North Wood students made plans for a prom cruise, a crack cocaine dealer was arrested. Union Center announced plans for its final Spring Sing, the Methodist Men planned another of their popular

Nappanee’s own George Bush was adding to the pages of his personal scrapbook by earning the Rotary Youth Leadership Award. Heads often turn when George’s name is mentioned—for obvious reasons—let’s watch this young man and see what future honors he might achieve! MAY This month is traditionally the time when graduation takes center stage —although mothers do sneak in there for a day of recognition. It is a time when students look forward to putting away their books for the summer break, and prospective college students trade one set for another, as future plans begin to formulate. Stars from the Grand Ole Opry made plans to join the celebration of the opening of the new Nappanee Inn, US6 West, the science team finished first in state competition, there was a rash of thefts in the city, and middle school students improved their grades and earned prizes from McDonald’s.
