This success is a reTlecTion oT The resulTs Mr. KinT- ner has had wiTh his Teams since he began coaching. During The six years ThaT he has been aT The Deca- Tur High School, his Teams have won The Big Twelve TournamenT and The sTaTe championship. This year The Reds were runner up in The disTricT champion- ship, losing The Tinal game by one poinT in an overTime. Mr. KinTner's success is due greaTIy To his meThod ol Training. He Teaches his Teams The science oT The game, insTills in Them Team spiriT, and produces in Them The desire To win. NoT only does Mr. KinTner sTrive To build winning Teams buT also Teaches Them To play cleanly and sporTs- manlilce. He Thoroughly develops characTer. Gay Kintner Mr. Kintner has been for the last six years coach Francis White IVlr. White is coach of the track teams and of the basketball and football re- Serves. of the representa- tive squads in basketball and football. COACH FRANCIS WHITE Much oT DecaTur's aThIeTic success is due To Mr. WhiTe, assisTanT To Mr. KinTner and Track coach.

The season opened wiTh a Thriller played on The home Tield againsT CenTralia. Early in The second guarTer BenTon, Tollowing hard smashes by Redding and lvlcGlasson, carried The ball across Tor DecaTur's only Tally. The ouTsTanding TeaTure oT The game was a greaT 78 yard run by Spurgeon, specTacular all-sTaTe back. This run accounTed Tor six poinTs, and anoTher sensaTion gain by The same player gave CenTralia Their oTher score. These plays TogeTher wiTh a drop kick made The Tinal counT I3-6 in Tavor oT The visiTors. The Reds had no greaTer success in Their TirsT game away. Urbana Tailed To make a TirsT down during The TirsT half, and DecaTur was leading 6-O wiTh only Two minuTes leTT in The TourTh quarTerg buT a long successTul Torward pass won 7-6 Tor Urbana in The lasT minuTes. The nexT game on The schedule was wiTh Male High, oT Louisville, KenTucky. The ouTcome oT This TirsT exTr-sTaTe excursion by The Reds was dishearTening. DespiTe deTermined sTands by DecaTur, The Tinal score was i9-6 Tor The souTherners. How- ever, The Tine Male High Team has rarely been scored againsT by any opponenT. This was Ken Redding's lasT game. The nexT encounTer, played wiTh BloomingTon, was a Thrilling one. The Tinal score oT I2-7 Tor BloomingTon was only decided in The lasT Tew minuTes of play. The game aT Ashland, KenTucky, conclusively showed ThaT The souTherners pro- duce wonderful Teams. The Ashland group showed blocking and running abiliTy equal To ThaT oT many college Teams. The Tinal score was 4I-6 Tor Ashland. ReTurning To DecaTur wiTh The lusT Tor vicTory, The Reds Tell upon ST. Teresa and Through Tine playing amassed a score oT 27. ST. Teresa Tailed To regisTer any poinTs aT all. DecaTur's TirsT conference game was againsT Lincoln. lv1cGlasson, Grummon, and Taylor Took advanTage oT excellenT supporT and made good Three bids Tor score. All aTTempTs aT exTra poinTs were successTul. The lv1aTToon game resulTed in a 6-6 Tie. Following This The Reds Travelled To Pekin and were deTeaTed. The big game OT The year, OT course, was wiTh SpringTield on Thanksgiving Day. An enThusiasTic crowd compleTely Tilled lvlillikin Tield To see The game buT The DecaTuriTes were disappoinTe,d.' ,The Tinal score was I8-3 Tor The visiTors. From The season's opening' Touchdown by BenTon To The Tinal place kick by McGlasson, The Team oTTered The besT iT had. There were momenTs oT Truly spec- Tacular playing, and There were momenTs oT dishearTening Tailure. AT Times almosT cerTain vicTory was wiThin reach, only To be losT. AT Times an almosT ineviTable deTeaT was avoided. To say The leasT, iT was an up and down season, made remark- able only by The splendid spiriT oT The Team. WheTher or noT They presenTed an unbroken sTring oT vicTories, Their courage has been an inspiraTion To us, and a TribuTe To Mr. KinTner. Though we have noT a championship Team, we know ThaT we have produced a group oT men worThy oT The name. One Hundred Fifteen Don Bechtel Don played at tackle his last football season. l-le was a good captain and through his great defensive playing he was one of the main forces in holding the center of the line impenetrable. Aubrey Taylor T a y l o r took Reddings place at fullback. l-lis lin e smashes were the regret of many a team. When he hit the line it was really hit. l-le also did some nice passing in several games. Decatur is lucky to have a man like Tay- lor back again next year. Dale Deibert Dale played tive games at end. l'le is one whose D stands for dependability as well as for Decatur. l'le not only covered punts well but was always in the mixups. l-lis excellent playing was re- warded by the captaincy of next year's team. Pete Bailey Pete was one of our guards. Although he played in the line, he was pulled out to do practically all the punting during the season. l-lis great kicking took Decatur out of many tight pinches. Donald Grummon Don played an excellent season at guard this season. l-lis alertness was testified by the fact that in the Lincoln game, even though playing at guard, he made a touchdown. Don will be back again next season. FOOTBALL LETTERMEN One Hundred Sixteen Jerome Baruzzini Jerome played five games at center and the last live at tackle. l-lis alertness and abil- ity to get in there made him a good defensive player. This was jerome's last season. Scottie lVlcGlasson Scottie was our quarter- back this year. His speed and accurate passing meant a great deal to the team. De- catur will lose a good player in Scottie. Wayne Benton Wayiie played most of his time at halfback. His ball- carrying accounted for many large gains during the season. l'le'll be an important man on any athletic team after his good work for the Decatur High. Don Hazenfield Don was an end this year. l-le filled his actual playing and was even more valuable to the t e a m through his never-failing cheerfulness. Bob Morgan Bob played tackle the first live games and center the last five. l-le had several injuries but always came out all right. This was his last season. Dorsey Humphrey Dorsey played as halfback. He was always right in there doing his stuff when it was most needed. l-leill be back again next year. John Ormond Jack took his place in the line this year as a guard. l-le played well and was always 'ion his toesu. Earl McKinney Earl played his best game at fullback. His ability is shown by the name Stone- wallu which the fellows on the team called him. Always reliable, he showed his ability and alertness in every game. Joe Fryman All of us know Jolly Joe as a guard. l-le blocked three or four out at a time. His weight and speed were both powerful factors in both of- fensive and defensive work. This was his last season. Decatur. . , . . 6 Decatur. . . . . 6 Decatur. . . . . 6 Decatur. . . . . 7 Decatur. . . . . 6 FOOTBALL LETTERMEN 3 Centralia . Urbana . . . Male High Bloomington Ashland ..

George Butts George played end through- out the season. His services will be missed next year. Earl Smith Earl played the season at end. Not only was he high , in scholastic standing, but al- so in football ability.

It was given March 22 in the High School auditorium before an audience oi 700. The action oi the play had io do with The iarnily troubles oi ihe Winslow house- hold. Richard, the youngest, was a struggling author: struggling because the iamily insisted upon living his life for him, and an author because he heartily deiested The industry oi pin-making which had been the traditional livelihood of the Winslows since a grandfather had endowed them with a iaciory. Nancy Blake, ihe heroine, and a New York state statute cleared up a rather embarrassing situation, however, and all ended happily. The cast was as follows: Nancy Blake .......... ....

You see Saturday night is the only evening Cec can get in town. Tuesday, 26 D. H. S. elects a fair young damsel to grace a Hoat in the NRA parade as at- tendant to the queen, Veva june. Ruth Davis of 303. Those mid-year Seniors turned traitor on us and voted in a body for their own candidate. Well, they won the election. Wednesday, 2 7 And after all these years Ruthie Court falls, and for someone from our rival city, Springfield. And to boot, he's a veteran basketball player.

Friday, 29 School out at 3:l0 so that everybody can see the NRA parade. OCTOBER Monday, 2 l'm madl Yes, l'm mad! l don't think it's nice for people to sit in your car and eat chocolate candy without your permis- sion. Somebody sat in my car and got chocolate candy all over the seat and l got it all over the back of my coat. Yes, l am madln says Miss Foran to her sixth hour class. Evidently someone made use of her car during lunch period. Tuesday, 3 Little Fred Shellabarger, just up from Roosevelt, if you could be interested, en- tertains seventh hour algebra class by tell- ing Miss Fischer how they worked ele- mentary problems in the ninth grade. Never mind, Freddie-Weddie, we were all green too, once upon a time. You'll learn.

Miss Bridges didn't even show up for fifth hour and there she was outside the door. Friday, 6 Mr. Sprunger had the loveliest sign printed forbidding the use of the girls' second floor stairs during the lunch periods, but he forgot to pick it up, the bell rang, and, well-that was just the end of Mr. Sprung- er's sign. Monday, 9 Three cheers for Miss Yoder! We've missed her while she's been gone. Tuesday, 10 Dick File says the Decanois directory is especially for boys. We may be curious but we'd like to know why, Dick! Wednesday, 1 1 Last day of school for two whole days. Celebrate, dear students. Thursday, 12 Vacation l Friday, 1 3 Vacation!

Tuesday, 17 The lVlTd'Year class announces its class play, Uskiddingu. Esther Bernson and Leonard Kush will play the hero and Shero. Wednesday, 18 Lib Williams came back to school today after the accident. She says fconfidenti- ally, the blood was very gory. Thursday, 19 Robert Grissom gives the oration of the day in Senior meeting, but Dick Trom- peter runs him a close second. And how that little Betty Lee Thompson can argue. Friday, 20 We vote for officers of the Senior class but it's a tie for all but Ruth Schudel. Tough luck, youse guys. Prolongs the suspense. Monday, 23 Blocko Sidowskin Downing came to school this morning beautifully marred up. Someone poked an elbow in his face dur- ing a football game. The last time, you know, he fell through a window. E Tuesday, 24 Well, I guess we showed those St. Teresa people where to get off last night. 27-0 and for D. H. S. l always heard that Ray Slouf was a magnificent player but he just ran around a bit, as far as l could see. Wednesday, 25 Please won't somebody explain the dif- ference between a safety and a touch back? Lyle Putman says it's this way and Dick Wilson says it's that way-but does anybody know? Thursday, 26 Bachrach is president again and Hull will substitute for him. Ruthie will write about it again and Billy Record will count the do-re-mi. Thompson and Blain will guard the secrecy of our meetings. Friday, 27 Zay went to market, Ruthie stayed at home. Harriet had roast beef, Margery had none. Katherine cried wee, wee, wee All the way home. Monday, 30 Wonders upon wonders! Billy Conover came down this noon to see if the high school was still going. He assured Betty Chambers that Miss Miller was his gal, and to prove it, he walked around to arithmetic class with Betty and asked Miss Miller. Tuesday, 31 Tommy Ryan came to D. H. S. today and lectured to those that had a dime and the desire to hear him. NOVEMBER Wednesday, 1 Do ,you know what that awful Dick File and Lowell Williamson did last night. They paddled all the Hallowe'eners they found on the streets. Thursday, 2 Alice Weir is back at her old tricks again --she fell down in French class the other day. Too bad, Alice. Friday, 3 Roy jay, you'd better take good care of Ginger. Why, Harriet Wayland found her running around school with a S5 bill this morning when the Decanois directories were distributed. Mr. Nickel foresaw dif- ficulties and supplied Harriet with 50 cents change but he didn't look as high as 55. Monday, 6 We have a new club in our midst, the D Club, open to anyone having a D.

Thursday, 9 Gee, are we getting grown up? Believe it or not, we're going to have a home- coming with a danceqn' everything. Friday, 10 ln fact, we're going to have two dances. The Hi-Y and the D Club are both spon- soring dances. Ah me, 'tis too much for me. Monday, 13 Guess what! Paul got lonesome for Mar- gery and so he called her long distance last night just to hear her silvery voice. l say, is it love? It is love. Love it is. Tuesday, 14 And while you lazy bums sleep we ups and pikes to school all for your entertain- ment and to sell the Decanois. Wednesday, I5 Don't anyone ever tell me that Judson Gilmore isn't crazy. Last night after Bernie Cummins he jumped into Lake Decatur on a bet. When he got home all his clothes were frozen, they say. Mine freeze just to think of it. Thursday, 16 And speaking of bets, we understand that Miss Romanus hennaed her haid and won SZ. Queer thing, though, we think it looks better now than it did before. Friday, 17 Miss Coldinger was a good woman, She Hunked her scholars now and then, When she passed them she made them dance, Out of Germany into France, Out of France into Spain, And then she Hunked them back again. Monday, 20 Which reminds me. Judson Gilmore won a dollar and paid a dollar to have his suit cleaned. Very nice budget, Judson. Tuesday, 21 skidding auditorium given this morn- ing. A double one at that. Bernson and Leonard Kush were called upon to do a little impromptu acting because the cur- tain stuck. They did it quite naturally. Wednesday, 22 Jane Abraham says that you couldn't men- tion Dick Wilson's name at her house last year, but that this year that's really all you can hear. V w. Thursday, 23 Queer how people change things all around, isn't it? lnstead of a soft, fem- inine giggle and a deep, masculine voice rattling on continually, the neighbors have grown accustomed to a whizz, bang, boom --and one of the assortment of Dipper cars pulls up. Yeah, jean Beall lives in that house, now. Monday, 27 You know that little Frankie Kincaid? Yeah, that little short blond. And you know how tough he is, too? Well, we just wanted to say that he ought to come down pretty fast some day. Tuesday, 28 And tonight in expectation of our victory over Springfield we're going to build a bonfire, and we're going to burn it, and then we're going to snake-dance. just watch us leave Springfield in the dust! Wednesday, 29 Do you know what our dignified editor did last night? He crashhed shows with a crowd of fellows from the bonfire. lsn't that awful? Thursday, 30 Vacation. DECEMBER Friday, 1 Vacation. Monday, 4 We lost our game with Springfield but we put up a game fight. At least no one can criticize us on our pep now. We fairly 'ipeppedn ourselves to death. Tuesday, 5 Sandy is a great-big he-man Who is bold as bold can be, And everywhere Sandy goes Sackie you are sure to see. Wednesday, 6 janet Patton says if she played basketball she'd have to have her own towel or she wouldn't play. I'll take my ball and bat and go home.

We're so puzzled. Monday, ll Our favorite pecan says that Paul Jensen is a Tower of Babble. How about it, Paul?

Friday, 15 We didn't even rate a pep meeting for the Springfield game and so we lose by one point. We're convinced that it was the lack of a pep meeting. Monday, 18 Can it be the Little Boy Blue influence? We admit that Dan looked right nice, but now it seems as though every fellow in high school wears something blue. You should see Aubrey Taylor. Tuesday, 19 Martin Maguet is back today and there doesn't seem to be anything missing any- where. But then count on Maggie to come out on top. Wednesday, 20 Can you imagine George Mitchell coming to school? We didn't dream he ever would, but he surprised us the other day. Thursday, 21 Mother, mother, pin a rose on me.

Thursday, 4 Just to celebrate Mr. Kintner's birthday our basketball laddies won a game from Charleston. fThey also lost to Hillsboro, but why bring that up?l Friday, 5 The question seems to be: do we, or don't we, get a Decanois ofiice? We've got our fingers crossed. Monday, 8 What a Romeo Eddie Delbridge would make. He sent Ruth red, red roses today. Ah mel Tuesday, 9 Aha! A bride! Miss Sowden reports that she took the trip up the middle aisle dur- ing the holidays. Wednesday, 10 And what have you got on your pro- gram? l'm going to write the office about mine. These programs seems to have the Seniors worried. Thursday, ll Who said St. Teresa was good? l guess we kinda beat 'em agaynel I7-I6. Friday, 12 We thought we were rid of junior Schlick for good when he moved to Oregon. But, a bad penny always turns up. Monday, 15 Pekin took a peek in at Decatur and De- catur didn't have a peek in. Anyhow they beat us, I7-I 4. Tuesday, 16 Don't expect us to be clever after all these hnals. Wednesday, 17 Evelyn Gillespie says she's swamped with dogs. lr seems that each member of the family has acquired his own dog. Thursday, 18 Have you seen Betty Klausmeier? One glimpse of her tan and you feel that sum- mer is here. Friday, 19 We predict that Harvey Sellers will be a big politician. How that boy can cam- paign. Monday, 22 Well, a lot of young sisters and brothers came down to high school today and does that ever hurt your dignity. You're some- body as long as you're the only member of the family in high school, but when the youngsters come down then you'd bet- ter get ready for the next jump! Tuesday, 23 Eutona Wolcott starts second semester back in the good old institute of learning. Welcome back, little dancer. Wednesday, 24 Anyone lucky enough to get a seat in 322 second hour is indeed lucky. There isn't a single seat left in an organized study. Oh burny, burnyl Thursday, 25 'Tis bitter, bitter cold today, mah frands. 'tis bitter, bitter cold. See you on the icel Friday, 26 You should see all the campusites in the corridors, now. They're all home from their respective colleges and, oh, what a collegiate air. Fairly bowls you over. Never mind, never mind, just picture Walt Pritchett, Bud Folrath, Ruth Schudel, Bet- ty Staley and the such a year from now. Monday, 29 Well, Juny Schlick did come home, so that --to those who said he wouldn't. Ask Miss Foran about her petition. Tuesday, 30 Zay Coleman's got a honey of a job, by the way, but it would be against the rules if we explained in full. At least, Zay would think so, and possibly Morris Murfin.

At least not so much that they can't sign their names. Thats all we ask. Wednesday, 7 If anyone took young Bill Hammer at his word or rather, l should say, by his greet- ings and salutations, one would imagine that every girl in high school was his girl. Such self-possession fairly stands me aghast. Cocky, what do you think? ! know. Thursday, 8 You should see all of the people dancing in the DeMo!ay musical comedy. Of course, we knew all along that some of them had talent. Friday, 9 Elois is getting domestic! Fancy it! She sat in 322 this morning and sewed on buttons. Watch out, Brad!

We want to try out for noise off-stage but Miss Foran says thereis no try-outs necessary for that. Wednesday, l 4 Betty Staley is so proud of herself. She's written regularly-every day, mind you- to Charlie. That's a record. Charlie ap- preciates it, too, because he sent her a great big picture for Va!entine's day. Thursday, 15 And speaking of Valentines-we under- stand that Sissy Crawford is quite angry to think that anyone dared even insinuate she was conceited. Well, we!!! Wonder who T. W. W. is. Sis says it stands for Three Wicked Women . Aha! !..et's have a Hair Breadth Harry now! Friday, 16 Don Grummon becomes Junior president. Also Tom Crawford, Doris Sayre, Jessie McKeown, Straley Heaton, and George Walraven are elected. Monday, 1 9 We won from St. Teresa last night, 20 to 8. This is getting to be sort of a habit.

We're filled with wonder every time we see those gals practically flying through the air. Won- der if they get stiff. We do, just kicking our feet into the air.

A - Every Banking Facility Afforded It Pays In SAVE tercst on Savings AND HAVE One Hundred Eighty-six CALENDAR MARCH Thursday, 1 Have you seen all the new Dis blazing out around school? Mr. Kintner presented letters to all the fellows who helped out on the football team. Friday, 2 Senior play cast announced. Betty Staley and Roy johnson will do the falling in love while Katharine rates the part of the mother. Monday, 5 Can it be that Dell Phillips, the ole woman hater, had at last succumbed? Some say yes , some say no , but the gentleman in question just maintains a stony silence. Tuesday, 6 Flying Down to Rio and that carioca dance. Ooo-ooo! We very nearly hop- ped up in the Mill to practise. So far we've got the heads-together down pat. Wednesday, 7 Mary Elizabeth Stookey got hit by a hit and run driver today. That driver got fooled though. Marlin Eakin took the li- cense number on general principles. Thursday, 8 Don't tell a soul. Promise? lt'd be bad if it got out. But Dick File called Peg Smith out of history class third hour to ask her to go to the DelVlolay dance Saturday night. Wouldn't Miss Bridges be mad if she knew? Friday, 9 jean Cross presented his marionettes to- day. ln fact he presented them three times for the benefit of the good ole Dec- anois. Monday, l 2 We heard today that Sakie left Sandy in a burning automobile one night! Rosie and Bill got out pretty quick, too. Guess it was kinda one for oneself and Sandy, being English, was just a little slow. She didnit burn up, though, and neither did the Reo. Tuesday, l 3 lt's about time for some more poetry but we're not very original at the present and anyhow, Alice Weir says she'll go mad if she has to type anymore of the rank stuff. That's consideration, Alice. Take advan- tage. Wednesday, 14 Taking snapshots for the Dec is work. The only person that didnit have to be begged to pose was janet Patton. Guess she considered it an honor. She said, Thank you. Thursday, l 5 They're planning on building a new addi- tion to D. H. S. More power to 'em say we after trying to find a seat in 322. Friday, 16 Wouldn't Mr. Sprunger be mad if he knew that this calendar was being written in one of his classes right in the middle of one of his impromptu discourses? That front row sure has it tough. Monday, 19 Johnny Williams is going to write the class song. At least he says he's going to. And to the tune of Smoke Gets in Your Eyes . You see, he's already started it. Tuesday, 20 Better be careful of Rhodell Holderbyl He says his big brudderu is a boxer and aw- ful tough. Wednesday, 21 Now really, we're sorry that occasionally through the calendar you see what seems to be reprints from Betty's Letter. But l assure you that itis not our fault. Ruthie Court has visions of being a journalist but we think she'd make a better Walter Winchell. You don't dare say a word. If you do you'll come out in print. Thursday, 22 Pick me up tenderly Handle with care I crack when you bend me ln the cold air. We've tried so hard to dedicate this little ditty to someone, someway, sometime. But weive decided finally that it had best be left as we found it-advertising patent leather shoes. Friday, 23 Spring vacation. APRIL Monday, 2 Dr. Lindberg and the customary tubercu- losis tests greet us on our return to D. H. S. My, my, what horrors a tiny needle has. Tuesday, 3 Senior class has six mottos up for vote. Strange how people reveal hidden tra'ts in their selection. Wesley Woodsonis is Prepared for Better Things . While Har- riet Wayland and John Williams prefer Wisdom is Stronger Than Fate . Wednesday, 4 And Dr. Lindberg is back. l've got a positive four: Dr. Lindberg said so. Oh, I know l've got an awful case of T. B. Oh dear, that awful sanitariumf' When are they going to take X-rays? Dear, lim so upset l just can't go to school. l'm going to get a dismissal.

BJ Betty Staley. Bobbie Snapp, etc. Friday, 6 And over the week-end the Senior Play cast is going to have a party. Not just a party, mind you, but a surprise party. lt's Marianna's birthday. Monday, 9 We hear that certain prominent citizens such as H. N. Humphrey, Melvin Smith, and Walt Royer like wafHes. Tuesday, 10 Commencement is in the ofiing. Already Seniors have ordered announcements and cards. Now, they want our measurements for caps and gowns. Two more months, two more months. Wednesday, 1 1 Danny, do keep on going to the library. Why, we know at least one girl who's very nearly late every second hour just 'cause she couldn't go to class without watch- ing Mr. Dan Nolan dash into the library. And maybe we could name more! Ah, twidclle, twaddle. Thursday, 12 Wilbur and Dorothy got mad. Believe it or not. Wilbur wouldn't call Dorothy be- cause he thought Dorothy should call him and Dorothy wouldn't call him 'cause she thought he should call her. lsn't it awful? Friday, 13 Dick File is playing again. But, Dick, please explain the point of peeking through the keyhole of 32l. We love to be amused. Monday, l 6 Seems as though our Decatur Romeos are going over in a big way in some of the neighboring towns. Especially the Glynn Simpson youths! Tuesday, 17 Hi Nellie -lt looks as if somebody had ambitions to be an advertiser. Wednesday, 18 Vvesley was rebuked by Miss Hill in 322 this fair morning and we know he got a black mark in the Big Book for sassin' back. Thursday, 19 Orv Hawkins was so proficient in un- knowns today in chemistry that Miss Brock has made him lab detectatiff. Friday, 20 Swede amazes us by talking to jean Weilepp, Henrietta Dawson, Betty Ann, and Marianna in the space of three min- utes. Now Fletcher, you foolish little fly- by-night-don't go about it in such a big way. Monday, 23 The art auditorium was a honey! Pretty pictures 'n' pretty pictures. Tuesday, 24 'xve salute the two who have lived up to the code of don'ts. Francis Dively, who don't ever get over his embarrassment, and C. Moyer, who don't ever know what the assignment is, and don't ever get it. Wednesday, 25 Howard Smith swears every two weeks to give up dating, and then breaks his vow. Try breaking a date sometime and then see who gets hurt. Thursday, 26 After saying that Dick Rokosh looks like Gary Cooper, Miss Bridges says the Gary Cooper is a gentleman. Friday, 27 Katie fNertsl Hamilton goes to Indian- apolis today to give the Hoosiers a break. That's a relief for us stay-at-homes. You're telling us? Ed. Monday, 30 janet and D. B. have a lot of publicity but lim keepin' my eye on jean and W. A. MAY Tuesday, 1 George Reynolds shows positive two in T. B. test. It can't be in the lungs: look at h's skull, doctor. Wednesday, 2 Can't understand why Looie Hull waits until now to get a girl. With his official dignity he should have had one long ago. Thursday, 3 Elois has asked for the honor of introduc- ing the class song when it is written, so it can't be the song's fault if it doesn't sound so good. Friday, 4 We just learned that a long time ago at the Senior party somebody asked who the little Soph was who came with Mary Alice Lloyd. We have never seen Henry from back part of 322 in Senior meeting, but we did think he looked a little bit like a Senior president. Of course that's only one man's opinion.

Ta-ra-ra boom de ay-y-:H Tuesday, 8 After watching Miss flibraryf Harper talk to Scottie Mcclasson for fully a half hour, we walk by and get the cold shoulder. Wednesday, 9 Miss Foran says De Custibusn but after catching a glimpse of Staley and Crawford strolling along together-johnny Williams says he's not particular. Thursday, 10 We hadn't heard of Norwood Moore for a long time but now here he is popping into print again. lt seems one of our !ervely blonds has what used to be known as a case on him . Friday, ll Somebody took a nasty crack at the west- endern in the Observer and we don't like it a bit. If we knew who is was we'd te!! 'em a thing or three. Monday, 14 Two Bill Wrights in one home room. What a setting for a splendid mix-up, that would take Sherlock Holmes to unravel. Tuesday, 15 We understand that Wayne King will be here the first of June. Do tell. Wayne King! But what about the Commence- ment dance? Wednesday, 1 6 Everybody feels yusta lika the man on the flying trapezen today. Kinda soaring, don'tcha know? By the way have you heard the ohhh chorus at the Mill? Howard jackson really gets them going. Thursday, 1 7 Speaking of Howard Jackson, we're speed- ing to Mr. Sprunger tomorrow noon about that jackson auditorium. We think it would be great sport to hear the D. H. S. auditorium fairly echo with the musical attempts of the D. H. S. student body. Friday, 18 Sta!ey's coming along swell, people. We were out to see her Saturday and her bed was surrounded and piled high with friends. She's popular any place. Three cheers for you, Staley. Monday, 21 Last week of school, my dears. We'll miss it terribly though, this old D. H. S. We were talking to a graduate today and he said he'd give anything to be going back again. Seems impossible, doesn't it? Wait and see. Tuesday, 22 Can't you just see Brud five years from now selling shoes to all the lads and lassies in Decatur? Wednesday, 23 We wonder if by that time, just to go on, if Ruthie will be carrying on Schudel's Model Laundry. Thursday, 24 Class day tomorrow. Will we ever swelter in those caps and gowns. Pride ought to keep us cool though. l-lere's hoping. Friday, 25 Senior picnic. Last social activity of or- ganized Senior class! Monday, 28 Exams 'n' exams 'n' exams! But then maybe you've heard a bit about such things. Tuesday, 29 More exams! More and more exams! June 1 Commencement. Our job is over. Good- bye!
