nrij D.H.S. ON THE MOVE According to the laws of nature, there is motion at all tims. Some movement is so minute that it is hidden from the human eye; but there is also a very noticeable move- ment: the movement of people going from one place to another through the events of everyday life. In school life, many sights and sounds prove that this motion is con- stant. Countless feet hurry through the halls and up and down stairs in the five- minute break between classes. Basketballs bounce; fans wave wildly as they ready them- selves for plenty of action. Pens move rapid- ly over paper; fingers busily peck away at typewriters. Feet begin to shuffle, and pen- cils tap as clocks near bell time. All these and many more make up the busy, everyday movements in the lives of all as D. H. S. moves forward. Senior girls help enroll under-classmen. Mr. Alger gives out rental books. Entering the halls of learning one winter morning. Mary and Dan almost late to Miss Vera ' s French class.

CHRISTMAS PROGRAM ENJOYED BY ALL The story of the Nativity, according to the Gospel of Luke formed the background for the Christmas program. The band opened the program with Christ- mas music, and the choir sang rehgious num- bers to introduce and set the theme for pan- tomime scenes on the stage. The program ended with the ever impressive Nativity scene, presented before the now rather fa- mous colored window, the creation of the Art department.

Local ministers addressed the school at Ihanksgiving, Christmas and Easter. Rep- resentatives of local industries gave infor- mation on what they expect in employee preparations. Gene Baxter showed pictures and talked of activities and standards at West Point. We were host in one assembly to the Legion Oratorical contest composed of the states of Indiana, Michigan, Illinois, and Kentucky.

AMERICA CELEBRATES Responding to an expressed desire of our retiring Superintendent, Mr. Brown, we this year presented again the Re- view, America Celebrates, that had been given originally in 1947. Different departments of the school combined talents to present scenes from such American holidays as Christmas, St. Patrick ' s Day, Valentine Day, May Day, Easter, and a general patriotic scene. The latter included four living pictures, Washington in The Day ' s Ba- ginning, Betsy Ross and the flag, Lin- coln the Rail Splitter, and The Liberty Bell. 10 I - ' ft J ' 11 Cjliiiiiiiiiiinll ' illHillllll]ll . ajat H Upper: Toyland and Easter Parade.

The other pictures show preparations for and during the Prom. Our photographers evi- dently tried to save film in one picture, but we couldn ' t leave it out because it pictures two important parts of the evening. STARLIGHT FANTASY... A Night to Long Remember Prom was the highlight of the year for the Juniors and the Seniors of D. H. S. Star- light Fantasy gave us a night filled with stars, a beautiful water fountain, and lights. We were entertained by the Don Smith Orchestra, the girls ' trio, consisting of Joyce Helm, Janet Miller, and Barb Harden, and Larry Macklin, who sang a few songs for us. A good time was had by all. 14 15 HONOR ROLL STUDENTS . Leaders in the Academic Field On these pages and the preceding two pages are pictured the scholastic leaders of Decatur High School. Honor Roll students pictured here qualified by receiving, for a six weeks period, at least two A ' s in major subjects and not lower than B in any sub- ject. The Scholastic D holders pictured on the preceding two pages have had to be Honor Roll students each six weeks period for an entire year. Our highest compliments to these Scholastic D students.

Formulas and Frogs Chemistry, Physics, Biology, Agriculture, all a part of our Science department, are im- portant studies in our modern scientific world. Science is coming so near to us in our every day living that it is becoming increas- ingly important that our youth have some basic knowledge in various fields of science. It is sometimes a bit surprising and very gratifying at the amount of general and de- tailed scientific knowledge displayed by some of our youth. Mr. Dailey and Mrs. Journay are excellent teachers in these subjects. ' , : 1 Above: The Biology class dissecting frogs. Lejt: The Agriculture class learns how to candle eggs. 19 With our ever in- creasing interest in the sciences, we must in- crease the opportuni- ties for more advanced courses in mathe- matics, for every em- bryo scientist must have a foundation of mathematics.

LANGUAGES . . . how nations talk to each other As world problems draw na- tions closer together, a knowl- edge of more than one lan- guage becomes more import- ant. Latin, a background of our modern romance languag- es, helps us to a better under- standing of them. French is not only a nice language to know, but is much used in the world of business and in lit- erature. Two scenes during the evening of the French party and banquet. ncLVBiL u ii r., HOME-EC. FUTURE GOOD COOKS AND SEAMSTRESSES Home Ec, once considered one of the frills of education, is by now found to be a very worth while subject. Learning to cook on the latest stoves, to sew with modern machines, and use patterns properly, some of our girls even surprise their elders with their ability as future home makers. Much other information and advice which will make living a happier experience is given by Mrs. Chronister. Janet Pugh, Melissa Ruby, Shirley Cummings, and Virginia Mills are showing us how to cook a meal. Carolyn Aftolder, Pat Bauman, and Beverly Stults are showing the proper procedure to lay out a pattern to cut the material. Phyllis Egly and Diana DeBolt are showing us how to sew their dresses. 22 INDUSTRIAL ARTS DEVELOPS PRACTICAL SKILL In Shop classes the boys learn a variety of practices. At one time shop was all wood work, and tools were very limited. Now the boys get experience not only in wood working but in welding, handling of wood lathe, metal lathe, four kinds of power wood saws, power metal saw, drill press, and power grinders. Added to this, the boys learn to put on paper in Mechani- cal Drawing class, plans for some of the projects which they may want to make. Boys doing wood working projects.

History.. .Civics... Sociology Donna Corey and Linda Aeschliman display their maps of iiur tiTiiti ' iial urtiwth. The only way to un- derstand the present is to know the past out of which the present grew. That makes the study of History of tremendous i m p o r- tance. Thus Mrs. Schnepf and Mr. But- ler bring to the Sopho- mores the story of the past in World History. Mr. Andrews and Mr. Smith in U.S. History and Civics-Sociology help Juniors and Sen- iors understand how we have applied these lessons from the past to the problems of to- day. 24 With the great number of automobiles on the highways, and the great loss of life by automobile accidents, Driver Training becomes a very practical course for high school students. Proper driv- ing habits, and proper care of the car should decrease the danger to others from young drivers, as well as reduce the amount of insurance premium father has to pay. Insurance companies there- by recognize the value of Driver Train- ing. Carolyn Wolfe, Janet Pugh and Harold Ballard meet Mr. McColly for a driving lesson. DRIVER TRAINING Tom Maddox, Bob Ladd and Leonard Hilyard get a lesson on motors. 25 Mr. Butler ' s Freshman English class busy with a spelling lesson. ENGLISH, LIBRARY, SPEECH IMPROVING OUR ABILITY Miss Weidler ' s Senior English class studying Shakespeare. 26 The English and Speech departments of D.H.S. give all students a chance to study the classics, modern literature, grammar, spelling, and public speaking. The library co- operates with these departments in supply- ing the students with a knowledge of library usage and of the books v hich they need. Miss Weidler, Mrs. Schnepf, Mr. Bevelhimer and Mr. Dorwin are fine teachers in these fields. Miss Pumphrey, librarian, ably assists the pupils of these teachers in library and study hall. Miss Pumphrey gives some help at the card file. TO USE OUR OWN LANGUAGE John Patterson gestures as he orates to Mr. Dor- win ' s PubHc Speaking class. 27 4 ( ( - Miss Haubold ' s Freshman Chorus. Students need to appreciate and participate in cultural courses to broaden their in- terests. There are several op- portunities for them to do this in the Music and Art depart- ments of Decatur High School. There are two choral groups that give students a chance to participate in group singing. Both groups, the Freshman- Sophomore Chorus and the Junior-Senior Choir, are un- der the direction of Miss Helen Haubold. The helpful instruc- tion which is received by these choral groups is evident in their fine performances. Miss Haubold also organized a girls ' double trio. MUSIC . . . training to enjoy some of the finer THE GIRLS DOUBLE TRIO: Peggy Hill, Janet Miller, Barbara Harden, Susan Mayclin, Joyce Helm, Kathleen Shoaf. ' •■: V t U Ul ' j t The instrumental department, under the direction of Mr. Clint Reed and two student directors, offers valuable training for high school students who are interested in devel- oping their instrumental music ability. The band entertained between halves at football games with manouvres planned by Mr. Reed. The band has shown its versatility through its marching and concerts. As in the past, the Art Department has as- sisted the Music Department in presenting programs. With Miss Kathryn Kauffman as advisor, the students created settings for the Christmas program and Spring Revue. The art classes give students the opportunity to develop their creative ability for their own enjoyment as well as for display. things of life . . . ART LeMar Taylor and Ed Morgan (above) and Charlene Feasel, Mary Bovine and Jackie Chew (below) display some of their Art Class construc- tions. 29 COMMERCIAL . . , the subject for business men ' s secretaries Jaiiu ' c Allison learns how to use the dictaphone. Business men are constantly asking for secretaries who can type well and take dictation in shorthand or know how to use a dictaphone. These are taught in our commercial department by Mr. Hetrick. Mr. McColly ' s bookkeeping is not only a good business foundation course but is a good course for the keeper of the family budget. Mr. Bevel- himer teaches business law, an- other good course for the young business man or business wom- Typing students and bookkeeping students learn to use machines of the trade. 30 PHYSICAL EDUCATION HEALTH SAFETY 5 There is just nothing like exercises for muscular development, (and mak- ing muscles sore) Good health is a valuable ad- junct to happiness, and good health can be developed or main- tained through proper exercise and proper care of the body. Knowledge of the body structure and its care forms an important part of the health courses taught by Mr. Worthman to the boys, and by Mrs. Worthman to the girls. Proper exercises may make us groan with sore mus- cles for a while but the body soon builds up to them and we then feel better for having had them. In connection with their health training, David Ortiz, Rex Huss, Leonard Hilyard and Joe McNerney learn body structure by examining the torso. 31 33 Front Ron- Jim Martin, ThaiU ' Custc-r, Ua ' r Swiekaid, Davu liR-hlu.

D CLUB... our group of Valiants The D-Club opened the year with the elec- tion of officers. They were: President, Ed Nelson; Secretary-Treasurer, Tom Grabill; Vice-President, John Cowan. The activities of the D-Club included the sponsoring of a dance at the community center and the very highly successful annual D-Club Banquet. Our outstanding speaker was Reverend Leg- gett, who came to us from Lynn, Indiana. A beautiful plaque was given to Mr. Brown in recognition of his retirement this year. A free dance followed the banquet, thus closing the activities for the 1) Club this year. Standing: Tom Grabill, Secretary-Treasurer; John Cowan, Vice-President.

STUDENT COUNCIL . . . helps guide our school The student council of Decatur High School is comprised of the class officers from each of the lour classes. The student council was in session each Monday during activity period. The first project of the student council was to elect its of- ficers. They are as follows: president, John Cow- an; vice-president, Dennis Ahr; secretary-treasur- er, Ann Arnold. Mr. Ketchum was the council adviser. The Student Council then went to work thinking of projects it could undertake which would make our school a better school. Having organized its work for the year, the Student Council was in- troduced to the student body, its purpose and projects to be undertaken were explained, and it asked the cooperation of the students and faculty. We conducted three main projects this year. First, in order to demonstrate our belief in clean- liness and neatness of the school, we conducted a weekly check of the halls, announcing their conditions over the public address system. Sec- ond, in order to promote the school spirit, we recognized the cheering bloc by placing the band in the bleachers beside the bloc. This greatly im- proved the efficiency of our cheering section. The last project conducted by the council was to have the members of the speech class give talks before the freshmen, sophomores, and juniors on such topics as honesty, care of school property, and courtesy. All in all, the Student Council has been an active organization and it is truly an asset to our school.

At the first of the year we elected the fol- lowing officers: Mary Heller, president; Paula Strickler, vice-president; Donna Alli- son, secretary; Connie Teeple, treasurer. Some of the activities of the F. H. A. dur- ing the year were preparing the faculty Christmas dinner, joining with the Agricul- ture Class in a skating party, and having a chili supper, prepared by the sophomores. We have all enjoyed our F. H. A. We sin- cerely hope that every member has profited from his experiences with this organization. AGRICULTURE . . . getting close to the grass roots The Decatur Sodbuster ' s Club was organ- ized in October, 1960, to help develop the various projects, which we have in agricul- ture class. A skating party was held with the F.H.A. in October. The members then decided to hold a pest contest, lasting six weeks, after which the winning team was treated to a wrestling match. The ag. class felt honored to be guests of Mr. and Mrs. Journay for an evening of pleasure, after the April meeting. Seated: Wm. Journay, Fred Lehrman, Jim Hoff- man.

THE TWO BEST INGREDIENTS FOR SUCCESSFUL Commercial Club The Commercial Club was reorganized soon after school resumed. The first thing on the agenda was the election of officers. They were as follows: president, Becky Jack- son; vice-president, Sharon Sprunger; secre- tary, Beverly Stults; treasurer, Janice Alli- son. During the year various typing awards were won by many members of the club. A certificate was given to the students with a 35 WPM average. If the student reached 40, 50, 60, or 70 WPM, he received a pin. The club would like to thank Mr. Hetrick for his time and effort, and the hope that the Commercial Club of 1962 will have as much fun and success as we did this year.

COLOR WHEEL ... cut and color The Art Club was very active this year as usual. For open house we had an exhibit in the art room displaying some of the drawings of the students. During the Christmas season we decorated the windows of D. H, S. and painted the scenery for the Christmas pro- gram. At Sectional time we decorated the halls with yellow jackets. Miss Kauffman and several of her students made the scenery for the spring review, America Celebrates. In May the Art Club sponsored an exhibit showing paintings and craftwork of the citi- zens in our community.

Faculty and students have shared the responsibility, as in past years, for organizing and publishing the yearbook. All the staff fully agrees that the assistance of Miss Kauffman, art advisor, Miss Wiedler, proof read- er, and Mr. Smith, Ravelings facul- ty advisor, were unmatchable. Our thanks are also given to the students, not pictured, for writing articles for this book. The entire staff has put much ef- fort in this yearbook to make it the best book possible. The staff hopes that it has given all a clearer picture of D.H.S. On The Move. Julia Ellsworth — Editor Top; Editor Julia Ellsworth shows assistant editor Judie Burk a bit about yearbook making.

This year ' s band consisted of approximately 50 members. The band elected Roger Harris and Larry Macklin as student directors to assist Mr. Reed whenever possible. They found this job to be quite interesting. During the year the band traveled to Pur- due for High School Band Day and also to Bluffton for their street fair and the Music Festival. The band played for football games, the Christmas program, and the May Pop Concert. This year a pep band was organized of first chair students. The pep band played at the basketball games. In May the pep band played at a banquet honoring Mr. Brown, who is retiring. This has been a pleasurable and success- ful year for the Decatur High School Band.

TRACK . . . with flying feet The Yellow Jackets v ere handed a defeat by the Concordia Cadets in their opening track meet this sea- son. They placed second in a triangular meet with Huntington and Rochester. Decatur walked off with honors at the Adams Central-Ossian-Decatur meet.

This spring more than one hundred enthusi- astic girls chose ten captains to lead them in the popular sport, volleyball. The captains of those teams are Janice Allison, Isabel Costello, Cynthia Cravens, Diane Debolt, Phyllis Egley, Nancy Gep- hart, Becky Jackson. Paula Strickler, Donna Thieme, and Karen Zimmerman. Every team is trying hard for the trophies which each member of the team will receive. Mrs. Worthman has selected a volleyball team to represent Decatur High in inter-school compe- tition. Several games are being scheduled and the girls hope to be volleyball champs again in 1961. 63 64 65  . SUPERINTENDENT W. GUY BROWN SCHOOL IS RUN ON Since Mr. Brown is retiring this year we have devoted the division pages ahead of this section of the book to pic- tures of three periods of his life. The earliest picture is Mr. Brown as he look- ed as principal of the elementary grades of old Central School. Mr. Brown was given that position in 1916. The second picture is very typical of him as principal of the Decatur High School, which position he was given in 1931. The pose is very characteristic of him as he would lean back in his office chair and confer, or advise, or just chat. Many a high school boy or girl, or teach- er has left his office wiser for having called there. The full page picture is the last pic- ture taken of Mr. Brown for the Ravel- ings as Superintendent. He became Su- perintendent of Decatur Schools in 1951. Two new school buildings have been built under his leadership, and many other improvements have been made. Mr. Brown ' s superintendency has been a successful one, and Decatur owes him much for his years of contribution to its betterment. AN EVEN KEEL . . . SCHOOL mm President - Dr. J. M.

The first activity was the election of class offi- cers. The officers were as follows: John Cowan, President; Taya Erekson, Vice-Presi- dent; Ron August, Treasurer, and Ann Ar- nold, Secretary. Miss Vera and Mr. Bevel- himer were our clars sponsors. In November the seniors once again spon- sored the annual Student Day Sale as their primary money making project. Due to the full co-operation exhibited by the student body, it turned out to be a very successful project. In December the seniors visited the Adams County Courthouse to witness the charge to the Grand Juiy. We also visited the other various offices of the building. The Junior-Senior Prom was held on May 19. The juniors did a wonderful job of plan- ning and decorating around the theme Mardi Gras. Through the efforts of the juniors, this Prom was a tremendous success, one that the seniors will always remember. Our Baccalaureate services were held the following Sunday, May 21. Commencement was held on Thursday, May 25. We heard a challenging address given by the Governor of Indiana, Matthew Welsh. The Commence- ment dance followed graduation. After the dance, entertainment was provided through- out the night by various organizations of the city. Each Senior has many fond memories of his high school days at dear old D. H.

Donna Bixler and Sylvia Bleeke were elected as second-team basketball cheerleaders and also as two of the varsity football cheerleaders. We had many boys representing our class in athletics throughout the year, and several of them earned varsity letters. The sophomore class sponsored two dances this year, the Turkey Gobble Hobble after a home football game and Semester Stroll or Halfway Hop after a home basketball game. Many of our class are members of the honor roll, and we are very proud of them. Having completed our first two years at D.H.S., we feel that we are now ready to under- take the responsibilities of upperclassmen. 84 Row One: Dianna Hue- ston, Steven Jacobs, Mar- cia Jessup, C a n d a c e Johnson, Ronald Johnson, Gloria Kaehr, Colleen Kelly.
