OUR CLASS MISS COFFEE’S PSALM The 7A class is made up of thirty- nine pupi ' s. The first semester we were divided into two sections, but this semester the two sections were made into one. Usually the cast for the annual Eighth Grade play is chosen from the eighth grade only. This year, how¬ ever, we are very proud to have two of the characters selected from our class. They are Harry Moyer and Robert Engeler. When we are 8B’s we shall have left behind all who are laggards in their work, so we are eagerly looking to the future. We are sure many of us will win the coveted commendation, “Well done!” Central’s basketball team has fought hard this year. We lost the trophy to St. Joe for the first time in years, but if we seven A’s continue to play we’ll get it again. Mr. Everhart is the coach and has done splendid work. Boh Myer, Charles Swygart, Carl Rit¬ ter, and Lawrence Johnson are the boys from 7A. Miss Coffee is my teacher, I shall not pass. She maketh me shew my ignorance before the whole class. She giveth me more than I can learn. She lowereth my grades. Yea, though I walk through the valley of knowledge, I cannot learn. She fireth questions at me in the presence of my class mates. She anointeth mine head with slams, my eyes runneth over. Surely adjectives and adverbs shall follow me all the days of my life. And I shall dwell in the Eighth grades forever. —Marlowe Hoagland - 10 - 7A Editor.Agnes Nelson Associate Editor.Ruth Porter Associate Editor.Billy Schafer Business Mgr.Corolene Townsend -o- Guide (wearily): And these are sky¬ scrapers. Timothy Heyseed: Wall now, what do you know about that? I sure would like to see ’em work. -— 12 —

DEEDS AND MISDEEDS MR. HORTON Mr. Horton came to Cen¬ tral at the beginning of the fall term of 1930. This is his first year and is the start of his career which may end in being principal of Central School or it may end in an auto wreck. He is a star athlete in football, basketball and baseball. He is doing excellent work as our teacher and I hope he continues till the “bed spreads” and the pillow slips. BURCHARD HORTON THE BASKETBALL TEAM We had a fine basketball team this year. Mr. Everhart was our coach and we know he liked his position. Don Reynolds, Ralph Ritter, Russel Butler, L.eroy Huffman, Ralph Peter¬ son, Bob Aeschliman, and Joe Beane from our room, helped comprise our first and seconds teams. Although we lost the trophy to St. Joe, we hope to win it back next year. -c- MR. EVERHART Mr. Everhart came to Central about two years ago. When Mr. Thomas be¬ came principal Mr. Everhart succeed¬ ed him as coach of the basketball team. We, the 8 B’s feel very fortunate to have Mr. Everhart as our home room teacher. Besides being our home room teacher he teaches us reading, geography, spelling, hygiene and composition. We heartily appre¬ ciate his kindly manner and helpful interest in everything we did.

DEEDS AND MISDEEDS THE BAND The Junior Band of Decatur is com¬ posed of students of both Central and High School. Their instructor, Mr. Rice, has tried very hard and has succeeded in making a band that De¬ catur is proud of. Last summer the members received suits which are very attractive. The band gave concerts during the sum¬ mer months, which the people enjoy and appreciate very much. They also play for the Street Fair, basketball, and football games. Bob Ashbaucher, Harry Moyer, and Billy Schaffer are the members from the 7A who belong to this band. On Friday, November 7, 1230, our class sang some war songs for the Armistice Day program. Rev. Fern- theil, the chaplain of the American Legion of Decatur, spoke about the World War and Armistice Day. o BOY SCOUTS It’s great to be out of doors at night around the camp-fire with a troop of Boy Scouts. Our Decatur Scouts are looking forward to the camping sea¬ son and quite a few boys are planning to attend Camp Limberlost, located on Gene Stratton Porter’s estate near Rome City, Indiana. -o- Miss Coffee: Bill, can you tell mo one of the uses of cowhide? Bill Elston: Yes, ma’am. It keeps the cow together. NEVA BRANDYBERRY OUR TEACHER Our home room teacher, Miss Brandyberry, is one of Central’s favor¬ ites, and she is certainly a friend of the 7A’s. She teaches Geography, In¬ diana History, and Reading. She also teaches Spelling and Composition to us as we are her home room class. She has charge of the “Leaders and Diggers” of the building. She takes sincere interest in helping us with our work and we’ll be sorry to leave her for she has been so helpful to us in our every undertaking. •-o- Guide (breathless): I just saw a man-eating tiger! Cal M. (pre-occupied): Some men will eat anything. Marj Johnson (football enthusiast): What’s all the megaphones for? Cfieer leader Pauline. Haven’t you heard? The “ref’s” hard of hearing. Martha Erma Bi. (after long argu¬ ment) : I wonder what would happen if you and I would ever agree? Martha Elizabeth C.: I’d be wrong. — 13 —
