' THE TATTLER 1 t E IOR CL Early one morning in the September of 1920, five trembling. little girls approached the threshold of a new world. A new world it was, for D. C. H. S. opened its gates to the second class to enter her portals and we: Winifred Clark, Anna Dowling, Marie Foos, Anna Schulz and Anna Baker were beginning our first year of high school. About a month later our class was strengthened by the admission of two boys, Donald Lothanier and Aloysius Heide- man. During the first year of high school we carried six subjects: Latin, English. and lvlathematics, taught by Sr. Vera: Religion. taught by Fr. Seimetz, Bookkeeping and History, taught by Sr, Antonita. A few weeks after school began, a class meeting was held, at which Anna Baker was elected class preddentg Anna Dowling. secretary: Marie Foos. treasurer: and XVinifred Clark, historian. These officers were to remain the same during the four years of High School. At this meeting we also chose our class colors, peach and silver, and class flower, yellow tea-rose. Anna Schulz. on account of ill health, was forced to leave school, before completing her Freshman year. This left us a class of two boys and four girls, a somewhat bolder class than the one that entered, the iirst day of School. At the close of the Iirst year we aided the Sophoniores in putting out the first printed issue of The Tattler, a product of which the school was justly proud. We also took part in a beautiful little selection, The College Girl and the Milkmaidf' in which Anna Dowling cleverly starred as the Milkmaid. With this success, we considered our first year complete. SS HISTORY The second year we returned to school with a different atti- tude. Although. our ranks had been decimated by one-half for Winifred Clark, Donald Lothamer and Aloysius Heideman had de- cided to discontinue their studies, we the remaining three Sopho- mores had discovered that High School was not an impossible undertaking. and so returned in higher spirits. The addition of a new Freshman class also proved to be an encouragement for us. for we now felt that we were not the greenest material, but had begun to materialize. The. second year we followd up the course we had begun the previous year, substituting Commercial Law and Spelling for Bookkeeping. Another teacher, Sr. Sylvester, History and Mathematics teacher, was added to the faculty. Being thus encouraged, our second year ran along smoothly and closed with a delightful entertainment, Dixie Land staged by the boys. and Peer Gynt Suite given by the girls. September of 1922, welcomed us, a Junior class, of three girls. This may seem a very small class, but this is the way we looked at it, Great things are often clone up in small packages. On our return to school that September we found that the Sis- ter's home had been converted into school rooms. Their former dwelling had given way to, Domestic Science Kitchen, Chemistry Laboratory, Commercial Room, Typewriting Room and Recitation Room. By this much-needed addition, we saw that the parish pecr ple really did see the value of our new high school, and so we work- ed all the harder to make it a great success. This year we carried the same line of subjects, substituting Typewriting and Sll0l'th3lIld for Commercial Law and Spelling. 'This was also our first year of Chemistry and it certainly had its excit- ing moments lexplosionsl. Sr. Almeda took Sr. Sylvester's place in the Mathematics and History Department. THE TATTLER But again, our entire time was not taken up with our studies. Toward the close of the year, we took part in the Senior class play, t'The Heart of France, which met with great success. The boys presented a very clever comedy, t'Uncle Sam's Boys in Camp, which also met with great approval. We were then called upon to aid the Seniors in putting out the first Annual, D. C. H. S. ever published. This book proved itself worthy of the reputation our school had established in the publication of The Tattler. After examinations, we breathed a sigh of relief since we had passed three successful years of high school, and ou our return to school would have no higher class to boss us. At the close of t.he school year in 1923, the Juniors gave a Reception in honor of the Seniors. The Sophomores were guests at this reception. Alas. we are Seniors! That long-looked-for year has come, and we feel most dignified. Only three of us, and the privilege of boss- ing the other classes. We certainly had one great task bringing the Junior Bachelor Six to time. tl wonder whether they were duly impressed with our greatness!

We feel certain that we have gained a fund of knowledge during these years and owe the greatest part of it to our never-tir- ing teachers. One great success of our last year was the debate held with C. C. H. S., Fort Wayne, from which we carried the palm. This we cannot claim as our victory for had it not been for the ceaseless energy of our teacher and the prayers of sympathetic souls, We would never had made the points the judges awarded to us. Again, we appear on the stage. this being the last time under the name of D. C. H. S. We successfully staged, The Merchant of Venice Up-to-Date. The entire student body of the high school took part in this comedy. Under the direction of Mrs. Holthouse, a very beautiful selection of songs was given by the Boy's and Girl's Glee Clubs. Our last great undertaking is the publication of our Annual, which we hope will be appreciated by every purchaser and will serve as a reminder of us. So ends the History of the first and last Triumvirate to have held the reins in D. C. H. S.

THE TATTLER Last comes the one item from whicl1 it is hard for ns to part: To our successors we must leave our places in the hearts and thoughts of our Pastor and teachers, They will love them. just as they have loved usg they will evince toward them the same interest in their attempts and successes: the same regret when they fail. We trust that the class of '25 will appreciate all this as deeply as we have done, and will never cease to do. Besides these enforced gifts, we leaveinot of necessity- but of our own free will-our blessingg tender memories of our pleasant associations: together with our forgiveness for anything that our schoolmates may not have exactly appre- ciated in our demonstrations during the past year, and 21 pledge of friendship for our school from henceforth and for- ever. All the rest of our property. whatsoever and wheresoever, of what nature, kind or quality, not herein before disposed of taf- ter paying our debts and funeral expensesl, we give and be- queath to the faculty, for their use and benefit absolutely, to be disposed of for the good of the future classes as they see fit. And we do hereby constitute and appoint the principal of D. C. H, S. sole executor of this our last will and testament. In witness whereof, we, the Class of 192-l, the testators, have to this last will, set our hand and seal this the first day of June, Anno Doniini, one thousand, nine hundred and twenty- four. MARIE FOOS. ANNA L. BAKER. ANNA R. DOWLING, ' THE TATTLER E IOR CLASS PROPHECY In 1967, the Alumni editor of The Tattler published the fol- lowing account in his column, We republish it now, that it may serve the purpose of encouraging ambition in the coming genera- tion: We were not a little surprised to hear of the disappearance of one. who in the 'dear dead days beyond recall' was a member of the class of '24, Marie Foos, by name. Her life reads like a book review. Following her graduation from old D. C. H. S.. she struck off across the continent to see the world. One day when her friends, despairing of ever Setting eyes on her again, had begun to wear mourning, she drifted back to the old home town. The next morning she had a temperatupre of 104, and her ears were hanging down. She recovered by and by, and began to give the old home town the 'once over.' She decided that things just wouldn't do, and that what was needed was a 'hustler.' So, she brought forth cash enough to make the proprietor of Eats Restaurant relish a retired life, while she took over the business. The first thing Marie did was to make a change in the menu. She substituted parched corn for grapeefruit as an entree. Before the end of the month, the customers were cackling, and the cook was busy studying Purina advertisements. Marie, or 'Mam'selle lVlarie,' as she was now known, trembled with joy at her success. But the bug of ambition was biting, and Marie longed to fly to greater heights. So she ripped off the roof of the restaurant, put in a balcony. with a place for real chevalier glass. She threw the regular waiters out of work, when she substituted dumb waiters, for the convenience of the customers. Night and morning, the D. C. H. S. orchestra led by Dicky Miller, rendered a choice reper- toire of 'Aloha Oi,' 'Three Blind Micef and on special occasions, 'That Old Gang of Mine.' Maniselle was all for the public. Her oyster buckets bore the notice, 'XVe for you, and you for us.' Mamselle saved the morals of the town when she made it impossible for Johnny Joe to sell chocolates to minors, on Sunday. The town trembled with joy at possessing such a treasure of modernism and public spirit. Heigho! Heigho! it was a wonderful life-and might have came to-who knows what-had not a young restaurant owner from the Pacific coast, Andy Appleman by name, and also an Alumnus of D. C. H. S., drifted back to town. Marie approved of Andyg Andy on his part approved of Maries ever-growing trade. Consequently, one bright morning in May, Andy and Marie stepped along arm in arm to the strains of Lohengrin's Bridal March. Their friends were happy. threw the usual collection of rice and shoes, wished the newly-weds good luck, and then went home. The wedded life of Mamselle, dragged along uneventful, un- til one bright morning, early the city populace was 'roused from its slumbers, by the blowing of whistles, the ringing of the Central and St. Joe school bells, respectively. What was the matter? Only this: Mamselle could not be found. Herlhusband was quite dis- tracted, and to this day, blood hounds, beagle hounds. detectives. and rewards have been unsuccessful in locating Mamselle, lk if Sk ik Sk 32 S IF The following obituary appeared in a recent copy of the Daily Democrat. It concerns one Anna Baker, a member of the famous '24 Class of D. C. H. S.: Miss Anna Baker, Ph. D. M. D. LLD. has drifted away. Her life was just one thing after another. Following his graduation from D. C. H. S. in '24, she entered upon, and completed a nurses' training course at Milwaukee. Several essays of Miss Baker, com- THE TATTLER 0 0 I U Q 0 0 0 0 9 o 0 0 0 0 c o n o 0 o s 0 0 9 0 0 0 1 0 c 0 0--0--o--0--0--on0--s--0--0--s--on ing to the attention of the Health Board of that city, they recognized in. her the making of a great scientist. So the city gave a bene- fit show, and with the proceeds, financed her way thru' John Hop- kin'5 University. Miss Baker came in for much attention at this institution. One day John D. Rockefeller Jr. was visiting a class at the Univer- sity in which one of Miss Baker's essays was read. Struck by the deep insight and judgment of the writer, he persuaded her to study in France at his expense. She acceded to the request. While abroad, She made one great contribution to science. She proved quite brilliantly the absurdity of Sending a rocket to the Moon, for as Miss Baker reasoned, 'The Moon is not a stationary body, and would have moved away from the spot at which the rocket was aimed, by the time said rocket arrived.' Soon Anna grew weary of 'gay Paree,' and longed for a chocolate soda, bought at Johnny .Ioe's. So she stuffed her suit- case with souvenirs for the home folks, and took the first steamer out. When she reached N. Y. she sent a telegram to the Lord Mayor of Decatur, Fred Schulte, informing him of her arrival in the good old U. S. A., and of her intention to visit Decatur. The mayor, poor man, was quite flustered. He immediately called a meeting of the city council, COIIIDOSSQI of Earl Christen, Judge of the City Court: Hugh Holthouse, Fire Department Chief: Robert Voglewede, the richest man in town: George Laurent, President of the Old Adams County Bank: and Gerald Mylott, Editor of the Daily Democrat: all members of the Class of '25, They decided to give Bake a booming welcome, and Gerald Mylott was instructed to run a special edition of his paper. Consequently, when Miss Baker stepped from the Interurban. she received an ovation that threw her off her feet. My Lord Mayor caught her and marched her along at the head ofthe school children. As this procession headed down Second Street, the large watering tank over S-chafer's Building, was seen to totter and fall. There was also an eclipse of the sun. After all the excitement of her arrival had died down, Bake one-o..,. -u--0--n--c--0--c--0--0--0--s--Q--0--0--0-0--0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 o 0 0 0 0 o.-o..o-.4--o..o-o..g........,..g..g..g g summoned the City Council. and together they i-ispected the Cin.

Pl! Ik 41 42 Ik lk lk S ing: with 'hc toot' Mills to Buffalo, N. The 1990 May issue of the American Magazine, prints the fol- lowing about one of the members of the D. C. H. S. Alumni. Somewhere among the Fiji Islands, where the oranges grow, and real monkeys are employed by the natives to shake the cocoa- nuts from the trees, there stands a quaint stuccoed bungalow, oc- cupied by a decrepit old lady, and her still more decrepit dog. A representative of this magazine, while exploring the islands, The old lady's name is Anna Dowling, and the dogs name is Jack. discovered the strange pair. and on returning to the U. S. pried into the lady's history, and dug up the following: Her career had been just one grand tussle with adverse circum- stances. After her graduation from D. C. H. S. in '24, she set about seeking that wary female, Dame Fortune. She knew that she could never look her fellow-beings in the lace until she had done something noteworthy. so she decided that the best way to begin, was to clear up the Teapot Dome Scandal that was agitat- ing the United States- Accompanied by her faithful dog, Jack, she shook the dust of the old home town, from her feet, and trott- ed up to Washington. Well, now, history doesn't say what means she employed, but when Ann was thru', the lid of the Teapot had been straightened, and tea was once more simmering, and being served up to Congress at each session. Congress gratefully voted her a medal bearing the words Teapot Dome, and a new collar for her dog.

She accordingly sent home for the material on the question, that Earl Christen. Anna Baker and herself had used when they defeated C. C. H. S. Armed with this, she appeared before Congress, and presented her points. When Magnus Johnson would have protested, Ann hypno- tized him by the way she said, 'Sir.' Before the year was out. America was in the League. busy sending troops across to help the foreign countries of many lands, settle their disputes. She received many attractive otfers of marriage, but she was too busy mapping out a career to join hands. When she walked down the streets of Washington, followed by her dog. Jack, mothers plucked their children by the sleeve and said, 'See. you too, will be famous some day if you always wash behind your ears and eat the crust of the bread'. She had the Bacillus Litteraticus moving about in her system. and in the course of time became a member of the Grand Lodge of the Ladies of Insomnia. She wrote many strong articles fav- oring an Irishman as President of the U. S. Some of these agi- tated Congress to such an extent, that the members decided to station her for life in the Fiji Islands, as a menace to society. Here she can be seen to this very day. No doubt, after her death, her fellow countrymen will realize what a great genius they have nipped in the bud, and will erect a monument to her in reparation for their disregard of her re- markable ability.

Sopholnores are usually supposed to be persons who look down on the Freshies and who are somewhat stuck up. but we'1'e not like that, tho' we have a right to be. for we're still the largest class in D. C. H. S. regular course. But I'll have to get a little history in somewhere, so here goes: As has been said. at some time or other in days gone by, the Sophoniore class entered D. C. H. S. in September. 1922 and With good luck they hope to graduate in '26. I think there were nineteen in the class when we started. but several dropped out or joined the Coniinereial classes, so we are now a class of fourteen. We've had but few class affairs. but what we've had we've all enjoyed. So that's that until next tiine, when we'll be Juniors, and per' haps fll91'9'll be more to say then.

We are the Freshies. twelve in number. Out of our eighth grade graduating class of thirty members, fifteen returned to be enrolled among the pupils for the Classical High School Course. ln two days. two of the boys, considering High School too easy t?b began their studies in the Commercial Department. After Xmas we lost another pupil, making the remaining and present number, twelve. Many say, we're only Freshies or Dumbbells. Well, anya way, a number of the members of our class are taking part in Athletics. Two boys secured recognition on the football squad. and two boys and five girls took part in basketball. In September. we attended our first class meeting at which we were welcomed as an acquisition to the school. The following class oflicers were elected: President, Richard Millerg Vice-President. Rosemary Smithg Secretary, Francis Wertzbergerg Treasurer, Mary Harris: Historian, Fred Connell. No doubt you'1l want to know the names of the rest of our class. so here they are: Raymond fRayl Miller, Thomas tToml Dowling, Gerald tFlabbyl Smith. Joseph Moet Murtaugh.

C. H. S. welcomed the largest com- mercial class in its history. There were fourteen, eleven of whom were graduates of the eighth grade class of '23. The commercial department proved a temptation to Geraldine Smith, Constance Schmitz. and Helen Bremerkamp, high school freshmen of last yearg and they joined the class, which is the biggest and the best. Since September. our number has decreased by twog Peter Koenig, and Herman Loshe. Peter met with a misfortune at a railroad crossing. but we do not count him lost, for by next year we all hope to have him with us again. Herman Loshe found the call of nature too alluring to resist. and he left us to exercise his business knowledge on his father's farm. XVe were sorry to lose him for he was a brilliant pupil, but we have no doubt that he will make a place for himself in the world. Helen Bremerkamp, Com. 1. an 'li' , LUIVI I A ' - '- uv ....

I, DG THE TATTLER -Q--.-o-o-o-v-o-o- 0+-o-Q-o-4-Q-0-9 ALUMNI Only those who are about to graduate from the school to which they have become attached. can have any idea. how the Alumni feel. It certainly is no fun to say gootlbye to the place you love, hext to your home. It is true. that when a class graduates from sc..ool they are not HllSSQd so much as they miss the school. This is easily accounted for, for as they leave school. another class is on hand to fill the vacancy made by their departure. New duties occupy the minds of the old students and no time is left for brooding over graduated friends. One thing that the old Alma Mater can never forget is the rec' ord made and the example set by her former graduates, now repre- sentatives of the school. How proudly a teacher points to a form- er student. who holds a good position. or is making good credits in his work at some advanced school. How often is it not said. That is a well-conducted school, for its graduates are certainly of the most creditable nature. A school will never be judged by its structure, but by its products. D. C. H. S. feels safe in saying that those who have already graduated from her ranks have won for the school a good name. For this we thank them: and for this they will never be forgotten. Soon other graduates will be added to the Alumni, and it is the sincere hope of all that they will strengthen and add to, the already established fame of D. C. H. S.

Seimetz is our beloved pastor and superintendent. He also has charge of our Religion Course. For ten years, he has labored among us. respected and admired by all who know him. Truly Reverend Father is making the furtherance of our interests his life work. At present he is intent on the building of our new school, which, completed. will stand as the realization of his great dream for us. Reverend Father, regard for you, 'though here poor- ly expressed, is sincere. REV. O. A. PETERS :Assistant Pastor I For the past four years. St. Ilary's parish has rlaimed Rever- end O. A. Peters as assistant pastor. His appointment to this pax'- ish was providential for D. C. H. S. He invited and ent-ourafzed in- terest in student athletics. with the result that D. C, H. S. has four basketball teams and one football team. XYe uertainly appreciate his unselfish work. and express our desire for a voutinuance of the same. THE TATTLER We sincerely regret, that the custom of the Order of St. Agnes, discourages the printing of any of the pictures of its members for publication. Nevertheless, we take this opportunity to render them a mark of our appreciation for their work among us. Sr. M. Vera IPrincipalJ Sr. M. Vera came to us four short years back, when the high school was but one year old. Under her vigilant care and tore- thought, the school rapidly attained its present standard of effi- ciency. As a teacher of English, Latin and Science, Sr. M. Vera has long ago given proof of her unerring skill. Sr. M- Vera, has made friends out of school as well as in it. All who have come in contact with her charming personality, love her in virtue of it. Sr. M. Antonita Sr. M. Antonita has been at D. C. H. S. since it first took a hold on life, five years ago. Since that time, she has been in entire charge of the Commercial Department, and has turned out credit- able stenographers. She has the lasting love and esteem of her pupils and graduates, and we trust that she will bless D. C. H. S. by her presence for many years to come. Sr. M. Almeda Sr. M. Alemda is our modest, little History and Mathe- matics teacher. For two years she has been among us. Persuad- ing the Juniors that the Pythagorean theorem is logical, is only one of the many incidents of a busy day. We like Sr. M. Almeda and hope to list her among the faculty of D. C. H. S- in the future. EDITORIALS THE TATTLER THE TATTLER STAFF Editor .......... Assistant Editor . . . . . Business Manager . .. Assistant Business Manager .. Circulation Manager Athletics Reporter . ..

Although we number but three members. nevertheless, we have always tried to do our bit to boost D. C. H. S. Weztake with us tender memories of happy, carefree days, spent here in the company of earnest teachers and schoolmates. Ever as Alumni, D. C. H. S. will find the '24 class, behind every move- ment the school sees fit to take. A SACRED TRUST VVhen we bid farewell to a friend in whose society we have spent many a happy hour, we are inclined to search our belongings to see whether we have anything that we may treasure as a keep- sake, as a souvenir of days gone by. We are bidding adieu to the school of our childhood and youth: to a friend, nay more, benefactor, linked with our every aspiration and ideal of the past. Have we a keepsake from this friend? What is the most precious thing entrusted to us, which we can take into life's stern reality, and treasure as a souvenir of our school? Shall it be the store of knowledge laboriously acquired during these years of application? Or the victories won by physicial or mental activity? Shall these occupy the hallowed shrine in our hearts. Ah no! Precious as these treasures are, one other sacred trust has been confided to us. which we must ever jealously guard ag a memento of our happy schooldays. It is fidelity to all that our holy religion stands for: an unswerving loyalty to God, our Country and our Fellow Beings. Class of '24, what are we going to do with this sacred trust? Let us join hands and promise ever to keep it inviolate, never to do aught that might tempt our enemies to point the finger of scorn at our holy religion. Let us be faithful to the keepsake entrusted to us, and ever, even at the cost of personal inconvenience and sacrifice, obey the voice of conscience, which in moments of doubt, will recall those principles of fidelity to all that is noble and good: instilled by those who themselves have relinquished the ties of kindred, so that they might the better serve their God and their country by a life of sacrifice for His Creatures. Riches and friends may flourish and may fade, A breath can make them as a breath has mde: But, oh, for our souls. redeemed at such cost, ...No gold can ever pay, should they be lost.

S. took a decided spurt in the eyes of the athletic world this season by placing o11e of the strongest teams in the field, that has ever represented this school. Our quintet defeated some of the strongest teams in this section, including Kirkland high school, which incidentally, spilled the Decatur high school team. D. C. H. S. lost but three games during the entire seasong two of these being lost to C. C. H. S., of Fort Wayne, and the other to the St. Patrick team, of Fort Wayne. YVe lost the former games by scores of 14A10 and 13-12. Both of these defeats were real scraps, however. The other game lost to St. Pats of Fort Wayne, can prob- ably be ascribed to the small floor on which the game was played. The locals later gained revenge for that defeat by a victory of 24- 17. Rev. O, A. Peters Ever since his coming, Father Peters has taken the most ac- tive interest in promoting athletics in Decatur Catholic High School. This year he worked with might and main for the success of our school. His work has won the commendation of the entire student body, as well as that of all those interested in athletics in this territory. His motto is clean sportsmanship. He has impressed on all those under his tutilage that good sportsmanship is the best pol' icy- 'We have tried to follow this motto and it has brought results. Coach France Conter D. C. H.

More can be said to France's credit, because this was his first year as a basketball coach. Be- fore this, he confined his coaching 1ne1'ely to football, a sport in which he is even more etticient. Conter's days with D. C. H. S- are not yet overg he will be with us again next year.

Fritz received an injury to his knee in one of the first games of the season and ever since has been nursing that ailment. Fritz started out in whirlwind fashion this season. doing great work in the Monroeville game. His teammates as well as other members of the school hope that his injured knee will be all right, at least by next September, when ,the football grind will begin. Earl Doc Christen Earl Doc Christen was appointed acting captain of the team on the iloor in the absence of Cap't. Schulte. Doc is known as our Old Reliable because he can be called upon at any time to do his bit. Earl is perhaps the most consistent player on the team, playing at floor guard. He is a special expert at dribbling and fooling the opposition with his famous south-paw. Robert Dolly Voglewede Robert Dolly Voglewede is our pivot man. Bob's elongated figure aided the team very much as he has a knack of getting the tip-on on his opponent- Bob plays a wonderful defensive as well as an offensive game. He together with Holthouse and Wemhoff at forward form a very good scoring combination for our team. -u-o-o-o--o-o--c4- .Q Hugh Spitty Holthouse Hugh Spitty Holthouse our curly-headed forward, can be counted on to secure points. when they are needed. Spitty is quick and is very good in eluding his opponents. He has played a wonderfully improved game of basketball this year. and we are counting heavily upon him next year. Carl Tubby Glass Carl Tubby Gass is our heavyweight. Almost all teams have one or more players, as a center-attraction, and curs is no excep- tion. Tubby Gass on account of his size is the center attraction of our team. Carl with Christen forms the Bulk of our defense. Carl's great work can easily be seen in the comparative scores of opposing teams. Arthur Legs Wemhoff Arthur Legs Wemhoiif has been the running mate of Holthouse practically the entire season. His tall. lanky figure is of consider- able aid to him in baffling the opposition. He and Holthouse on the average have practically divided scoring honors for the team. Art is an adept on the pull shot and his long shots from the side of the tloor have won many games for his team. Substitutes Omlor, Laurent, and A. Voglewede have been substitutes for the team. during the entire season. Omlor and Laurent filled in the forward positions when they were called. A. Voglewede was guard, also capable of filling the shoes sof the regular guards, when the occasion otfered. Laurent got into almost every game. while Omlor and Voglewede also got into their share of the games. Be- sides playing subs on the first team, the three named also played on the Second Team.

THE PEOPLES LOAN AND TRUST 'COMPANY Bank Of Service THE TATTLER GCIETY The mild air and twinkling stars, have lured many a boy of D. C. H. S. S. to hike out to Kekianga where they served themselves army style with a hot luncheon. Twice this year, the girls' basketball team entertained as their guests visiting teams. At one time they served a piping hot lunch- eon to their friends, the St. Augustine team. Another time they entertained for the St. Mary's team, Huntington, with a dance at the K. of C. home. The Commercial classes have been more than rushing the so- cial calendar this year. Several parties have been held by mem- bers of the class, all of which were attended by the class. Helen Bremerkamp entertained the following guests at a rous- ing watch party, at her home in Hoagland: Gladys Becker, Con- stance Schmitz and Geraldine Smith. The mild spring evenings have influenced many girls and boys of D. C. H. S. to don their roller skates, and get the stiffness out of their joints. A number of jolly coasting parties were enjoyed by the stu- dents of D. C. H. S. in the early part of the winter. Generous lunches were taken by the coasting parties and these were eager- ly sought later in the evening. Winter would not be real without the coasting parties. On February 7, Miss Alice Clark was pleasantly surprised by a number of her girl friends who h8lD9d here celebrate her six- teenth birthday. The girls presented her with a useful present, a camera. The evening was enjoyably spent in playing bunco. The prizes were awarded to the Misses Bernardine Christen and Helen Holthouse. The hostess' nephew entertained the guests with a number of readings and jingles. A delectable luncheon was then served during which stories were told. Those present were the Misses Anna Martaugh, Ida Baker. Bernardine Christen, Helen Holthouse, and Mary Harris. The greatest event of the social school life, of D. C. H. S. was the St. Patrick's party, given by the students on March 2. The school rooms were appropriately decorated in green and gold, the same color scheme being used for the dainty luncheon. When all were assembled, bunco was played and prizes were awarded to Carl Gass and Margaret Bremerkamp. George Laurent and Leon Kohne were awarded Drizes in a guessing contest held later in the evening. Confetti. balloons and caps added excitement and en- poyment to the dance which followed. A delicious three-course luncheon was then served by the Refreshment Committee, dressed as waitresses. The Misses Virgine Smith, Marie Murtaugh, and Virginia Laurent were present as chaperons. The grand success of the party was due to the excellent work of the special committees in charge. December 12, the Junior boys celebrated Gerald Mylott's birth- day with a stag party at the latter's home. A good time swell eats and amusement, all the mysterious rites that make a stag party a stag party were enjoyed. ..Q-.Q..o THE TATTLER DIVIDENDS l'Hli UNION CENTRAI LIFE INSVIIANCE CO. will pay 2B7,171,675.39 lo Policy llnlflcrs in 1924 Arlliui' D.

The Senior Class have been sporting their class rings for the last five weeks. They are beautiful specimens, octogon in shape, bearing the initials, D. C. H. S. in the points and the year '24 in the center. The Seniors are proud of their selection and justly so for they showed wisdom in their choice. Simplicity is charming. Our Library has been strengthened by the addition of a set of the latest kind of dictionaries. The set consists of two volumes and is edited by the Funk and Wagnalls Co. We were just discussing the need of a new dictionary when, lo! our angel of mercy, in the guise of Fr. Seimetz, presented us with this wonderful set. Words cannot express our appreciation, Fr. Seimetz, for the beautiful gift of which we were the recipients. D. C. H. S. is not to be outdone by her elders. While the drive for the new school was in progress, the D. C. H. S. Student Asso- ciation held a meeting and V0tF3d the sum of S8180 toward the new fund. This sum will be paid out in monthly installments of 555 each. Thus we prove to all that we, too, are up to the mark, and doing our best for the promotion of the erection of our high school. Recently we were honored by the visit of two Sisters of Mercy from New Mexico. They were our guests at one of our Class Meet- ings and seemed to take a lively interest in all we said and did. On the following day we were pleased to entertain two Sisters of Charity from Pennsylvania. They could not find words enough to praise our Tattler and their praises have served to spur us on to greater efforts, and we mean to show them that we have still in reserve, greater talents than those displayed.

Thou shalt not trouble thy teacher by asking what grade thou wilt receive at the end of the term. For verily she knoweth not, and thou art not liable to find out 'till thy report reaches thee. Honor the Faculty and their rulings, that they may speak well of thee, and crown thy etforts with a diploma. Thou shalt not look with covetous eyes upon thy neighbors well-written composition, nor his examination paper, nor shalt thou desire it. Thou shalt not envy the Junior class their Bachelor privileges, nor shalt thou envy the Seniors their supreme rule of the school, and their perfect control of the Juniors. Thou shalt not throw paper wads, nor corn, nor peas about the school room, else by so do- ing thou wilt lead others astray, and so set the school in rebellion. Thou shalt not snub the Freshies. For verily they do the best they can, and their looks will improve as the years go by.

Our First Appearance As Debaters TEL' ' ' In the midst of the worry and excitement that accompanies semester exams, came a challenge from C. C. H. S., Fort Wayne. to enter a debate with them. The diflicult side of the problem was to fall to us. After a discussion, we decided not to accept the chal- lenge, as we had never before ventured into a public debate. Now I see a smile of scorn playing about your lips, and hear the sneer in your voice as you say. You refused! Why? Were you afraid? Yes. we admit it without a blush. We were not conceited enough to think that we, a baby high school. could cope successfully or even creditably with a school of such good standing as C. C. H. S. of Fort Wayne. But we bumped our noses against a wall. C. C. H. S. refused to take No for an answer. The result was that we accepted the challenge and promised to uphold the affirmative side of the ques- tion: Resolved: That the United States Should Enter the League of Nations without Reservations. The entire school realized the imporance of the task that con- fronted us and knew that only hard work would give us a show- ing. Material was sent for, and the Junior and Senior Classes went to work. At the February Class Meeting, the preliminary contest was held. The aiiirmative side was debated by Anna Dowling, Marie Foos, Robert Voglewede and Earl Christen. The negative side was upheld by Anna Baker, Fred Schulte, Hugh Holthouse and George Laurent. Fr. Seimetz and Fr. Peters acted as judges, while Ger- ald Mylott was chairman. Both sides argued the question hotly. The negative won by a oiie-point margin. Following the decision of the judges, the speakers for the final debate were chosen by a vote of the class. To Anna Baker, Anna Dowling and Earl Chris- ten fell the lot of the final struggle. Then the work began in greater earnest than ever. So that there might be a consecutive whole, the team worked up a brief, and so that there might be no unnecessary repetition, each debater set to work to build up those points which he felt he could handle most satisfactorily.. Finally the big day for the contest, February 22. 1924, arrived. The warriors from C. C. H. S. marched in and the battle-line was formed. Mr. Roussey, Mr. Miller and Mr. Loney very creditably upheld the negative side. Attorney Erwin and Mr. Vance. of Deca- tur, and Attorney Hayes. of Fort Wayne, were judges. Mr. Corbett, of Fort Wayne, was chairman. Each side ably defended its standpoint, and as one debater suc- ceeded the other, the audience was at a loss to determine which side was likely to win. The manner of delivery and the tone of conviction which per- vaded the whole, showed much preparation and careful study of the question discussed. It was a difficult proposition for the judges to render a decision. All held their breath when Attorney Hayes arose to announce results: D. C. H. S.. 2215 C. C. H. S., 216. For a second, but for a second only, we were stunned. Then the halls re-echoed with Rahs for the Debating Team of D. C. H. S. ..... ..........,......... .,..............g........g..g.....

Sun, moon, star, tree, rock, Stone, etc- are feminine nouns: sky, air, bird, fish, house, barn, etc. are masvuline. A hill is mas- culine: a mountain feminine. The ocean is masculineg the sea is feminine. Strange to say the word for a female is a masculine noun, and the word a mansei-vant a feminine. But these two curious exceptions stand practically alone. In the construction of sentences Gaelic is very diiferent from English. People who know enough about the language to make use of it will tell you, for instance, that in Gaelic you have to talk backward. By this is meant that you do not begin by using the same word that you would begin with in English In Gaelic the verb comes before the noun and the noun before the adjective. Thus. it' you were going to say A wise man shuns evil compan- ions, you would arrange your words in this order. Slums a man wise companions evil. This way of putting the verb at the very beginning of a sentence is really better than having it follow the noun. Being the word of the sentence, it stands in its proper place. ' Wise Cracks-A Dumbell LIFE Man comes into the world without his consent and leaves it against his will. During his stay on earth his time is spent in one continuous round of contrarieties and misunderstandings. ln his infancy he is a .... 1 in his manhood he is everything from a lizard upg in his duties he is a .... fool. If he raises a family, he is a chumpg if he raises a check, he is a thief and then the law raises he.. with him, if he is a pool' man, he is a poor manager and has no Senseg if he is rich, he is dishonest, but considered smartg if he is in politics he is a grafter and a crook if he is out of politics, you can't place him, as he is an undesirable citizen g if he goes to church, he is a liypocriteg if he stays away from church, he is a sinner, if he donates to foreign missions, he does it for a showg if he doesn't he is stingy and a tight-wad. When first he comes into the world everybody wants to kiss hinig before he goes out, they all want to kick him. If he dies young, there was a great future before hiiu. If he lives to a ripe old age, he is in the way. only living to save funeral expenses. So life is a funny proposition after all.
