Voting name were Dr. Robert AM, Kenneth Smith and Russell Wenger. The roll call vote was taken at 11:30 p.m. after much discussion. The proposed names were Wa-Nee high school, Nappanee-Wa-karusa high school, Nappanee high school and a neutral name. Both Dr. Abel and Mr. Smith conceded they had preferred the title of Wa-Nee and had assumed it would be the name of the school. The choice quickly narrowed to Nappanee-Wakarusa high school or Nappanee high school. Arguments pro and con ensued with every point of difference in the district since reorganization in May of 1962, brought to the table

and rehashed with much vehemence and finger pointing. Board members vied to see which area had been most patient, which had given up the most, which the most pupil valuation, which the most dollar support, etc. Mr. Burger noted that when a second high school is built in the north part of the district, it could be named Wakarusa high school. Other board members also commented. » Wakarusa Protests As early as Tuesday morning Wakarusa residents were protesting. Students were seen at school with black arm bands as one sign of protest against the name for the high school. In other business the board agreed on a color selection as offered by the architects. The basic color will be brown with various shades of beige, off-white and blue-green. Carpeted areas in the academic wing will be a green and beige tweed and the carpet in the auditorium will be of gold tweed.

LIGONIER NEWS By Rom Cunningham Break - Through In School Fight There appeared to be a break through in the West Noble school situation this week when a group of taxpayers who have been voicing their protest against the construction site about three miles south of Ligonier reversed their thinking. The group notified their attorney, Nelson Grills, to stop all legal actions aimed against the building of the new high school on the Stone’s Hill site. They also stated that further objections are not desired. At this time students are divided between existing high school

buildings, with sixth, seventh and eighth grades of the area being bused to the Cromwell school, freshman to Wawaka and sophomores and juniors and seniors to the Ligoftier building. Present plans call for the school building to be constructed hy privately financed Southern School Buildings, Inc., and leased to the West Noble Corp. However, it appears that even with the approval of the state board of tax commissioners for private financing, it would be impossible to begin construction before next spring.

During his 27 years with the fire department he had served as a lieutenant, captain and assistant chief.

Giving Gifts Like greetings, gifts are synonymous with Christmas, as part of a custom that probably has its beginning in the Wise Men’s presentation of gold, frankincense and myrrh to the Christ Child. Some researchers trace the gift-giving tradition to even earlier, pre-Christian times. During pagan holidays observed at about the same time as the modern Christmas, ancient Romans and Britons exchanged gifts in token of the season. Lighting the Way Light and Christmas go together, for the deepest meaning of the holiday represents Christ, the Light of the world. From the bonfires and candles of yesteryear to the twinkling electric ornaments of today, light symbolizes Christmas. According to Irish legend, a candle should always be placed in the window on Christmas Eve. Each Christmas, it was said, Christ wanders the earth in search of a welcome, and a candle should light the way.
