Of course we were very modest and retiring. spoke only when spoken to and, sometimes, with fear and trembling. we refrained from speaking at the proper time. By the second quarter we had caught the school spirit and were determined to keep high the moral standards of our greatly beloved Alma Mater. We elected as our oflicers Frank Thomas and Eugene Jordan when we organized into a class. On stunt night we won first prize and really began to feel that we were a part of the school. Those who took General Science under the direction of Miss Minnie Barrett found out that it was not so easy after all. The X's and Y's of Algebra under Mr. Story and Mr. Loudermilk were dreaded by all of us. We were stunned in English under Mr. Wall and Miss Sarah Louise Head when we were assigned our first book report. Somehow most of us received our units for our Freshman year. and we were glad when June and our summer vaca- tion came around. After three months of fishing in the nearby streams and lakes and swimming at the beach, we were ready for another nine months of study under the direction of our most able faculty. We felt ourselves better able to master our new subjects, and in our own minds we thought of ourselves as men and looked down upon the shy Freshmen. We entered Algebra with great deter- mination for our new Advanced Algebra was almost unconquerable. English in our Sophomore year required a very large notebook every quarter, but under that most loved and respected teacher, Miss Mary Lou Culver, it was a pleasure to work on every day. Many of our class- mates visited Miss Barrett again with Biology and found the human body to be an interesting piece of machinery. We had to work harder to get our required units this year, but at the end of nine months of studying most of us succeeded in doing so. We were proud to say that we were a part of the student body of Decatur Boys' High. In our hearts there was a deeper love, most loyal support, and a lofty pride for our Alma Mater. Again we took a summer vacation with thoughts of fishing trips on our minds. Then, as Juniors, we looked upon the problems of life in an entirely different way. We knew what was expected of us, individually and collectively. Under the leadership and guidance of our faculty we were better equipped to meet the future. The angles and curves of Plane Geometry were as a jig-saw puzzle to the greater number of students taking it. English under Miss Crawford and Miss Culver was very interesting. and we were introduced to Mr. Shakes- peare by writing a theme about him. This year the Juniors won second place on stunt night. We did our best to show the Seniors a good time at the Junior-Senior Prom. I Major William- son took Major Dockler's position in Military as our P. M. S. fd T., and we made Honor School again this year. The football team won the N. G. I, C. and was invited to Tyler, Texas. We returned to school for the last time before venturing into the joy and problems of life. We were very dignified and looked upon the underclassmen as our servants. We entered the wide open doors of 300 and were greeted by that kind and smiling teacher. Miss Rubv Crawford. We rushed in and settled down to the serious business of mastering English IV. Many of our original classmates had fallen by the wayside. Physics under Mr. Haymore was very interesting. but it really required diligent studying. On April 25 we won first prize with our stunt that transformed many classmates into their hearts' desire. Once we thought that we could never endure four years of high school: now, we regret that but one year remains. After graduation, the climax of four years of high school training. the members of the Class of 1940 may drift apart, yet all will look back with pleasure on the days spent in dear old Decatur High. The Class of 1940 has proved the words of Shakespeare that all's well that ends well. . EUGENE JORDAN, Historian.
