He remember how overzealous fans tried to get the school authorities to relent and lower the standards to allow certain deficient students to play, so that the sthool team might be stronger. He remembers how great the impending threat of the loss of a game, because of the tirmness of the authorities ill these matters. looked to him in those school days. He now admires the principle of those authorities, their far- sightedness. their true contern for the good of the siudents. He's a fan now who looks upon school sports as part of the phys cal training ot the young students. He looks upon the members of his Alma Mater's team first as students, then as athle es-and he enjoys the games just as much as those who take a more solid viewpoint. He's always proud of the success of his Alma Mate1 s team competing wth other teams and he's proud that h's school is known far and wide by its teams. But he's prouder of the standard of his Alma Mater, of the success of her graduates tor, these are the best advertisement a school can have. He cannot live his school days over but he can help others live theirs as he wishes he had spent his. That is what the author of this little meditation, your athletic director. is trying to do. ,EA-toil? THINK-0-GRAMS The basketball season just passed was spiced with sweet surprises and bitter dis- appointments. The Commodores ot 1928-'29 played smarter and technically superior basketball to any team so far produced by D. C. H. S. The credit belongs to a hardworking team and a hardworking coach. We're familiar with the faces of our loval fans and appreciate their support. May the'r number ncrease and multiply and fill the gymnasium. Each year the Commodores play about one-third of the season before they are recognized as a team. two-thirds before they are recognized as a good team. and three- thirds before they are recognized as a great team. VVhy not believe us this year when we tell you that the Commodores will be as strong a team as usual next year? --.1101-.-- THE SECOND TEAM Coach Laurent uncovered some valuable material in the second team this year.

DCI-IS-l'TI-IE TATTLER-----DCI-IS WE THANK YOU The various grades of St, Josephs school pleasanfly surprised TI'lf: Tattler staff when they donated funds suiticient to defray the expenses of a page in the Decatur Catholic High School Annual for 1929. The editorial department of the staff is grate- ful for the opportunity to express its hopes that the interest wh'ch our grade school has thus far shown in the high school activities will continue to increase until. as members ot' the Student Association, their endeavors will reach the highest pinnacle obtainable. The managerial department sincerely appreciates the financial assistance which their efforts have effected. VVe thank you. If we consider the hundreds of sacrifices that were made by the children we need not wonder at the success, because the result is only another instance of cooperation accomplishing great things, good things, even magnanimous things, The pupils of the Sixth grade collected their tfthe by the sale of candyg those ot' the Third and Seventh grade by offering peanuts as a temptation to the various classesg and the pupils of the other grades, by denying themselves more enjoyable pastimes while they popped corn tr. be given to any one who would offer five pennies in return. These three hundred travel- lers on the road to knowledge. which leads to high school have proved thernselves etficient business boys and girls. But there are sotne who have accomplished much more than the average pupil. By their struggles against such enemies of commendable scholastic achievements as inactivity, indifference, or utter disregard for advancement, they have deserved to be elected to the Congress of Honor Roll. The Senators are: John Junk. Mary Catherine Leonard, Luc'lle Miller. and Phylis Shanahan, members of the Eighth grade district, The Representatives, composed of the members of the Seventh grade district are: Helen Barthel. John Carrol. Virginia Christen. Charles Ehinger, Patricia Fullenkamp. Edward Lose, and Frances Ulman. As the morning shows the day, so childhood shows the grown-up. The Student Association looks forward with pleasure to the time when these students will retiect creditably upon its activities. But do we sufficiently appreciate the tremendous sacrifices of those who infiucnce the tender twigs so as to form strong. straight trees? That is the question. It was the teachers, Sisters of St. Agnes, who induced the pupils to devote some of their energy to help in publishing this Annual. XVe hereby express our most sincere gratitude to Sr. M. Sophia, Sr. M. Francine, Miss Jane J, Mooney. Sr. M, Pierre. Sr. M. Edwin. S1'. M. Caroline, Sr. M. Florentine, and S1'. M. Agnes who teach that there are Tongues in trees, books in running brooks, sermons in stones, and good in eveiythingf -. Sr. M. Sophia is the only Sister, who, having taught the present Senior class in the elementary course, has remained in Decatur until D. C. H. S. banishes us to the Alumni sphere. She first received us as infants into school life. She moulded our childish actions into intelligent work. In our recollections of the tirst day at school. she is pleasantly remembered. Sr. M. Sophia has played an important part in our tiaining. Gratias habemus.

Oh! what do you suppose I had for supper last night? Why, a bowl of steaming oysters was placed at my right: The poor little things, looked innocent while they were in sight, But after they were down once, they all began to fight. They began to kick 31161 kick, a11d it made me very sick, And I said to my mother, Oh, get the doctor quick. quick, quick! So the doctor was summoned and what do you s'pose he said, t'Oh, stop your foolishness, and hike off to bed.

FATHER SEIMETZ The students of Decatur Catholic High School appreciate the sacrifices which their beloved pastor, Father Seimetz, has made and continues to make in their behalf. XVe realize that his late precarious state of health is due, in large part, to anxiety con- cerning the beautiful school building of which we are the benefit-iaries. XVe know that we can never acknowledge his etforts by material rewards, but we pray that he will partake of those things which God hath prepared for them that love Him. HEY. J, A.

Bmve-ly, though sadly, we turn from the sheltered pool, The happy, fleeting years we have spent ut school Are gone, forever gone, no more to return. Speeding time in his flight has no concern Of the eurly memories 'round us Ihronged, Fenrfully, yet confidently, we mounted four years algo The steps of D. V. H. on which we relied. The Hello VVhose dreams did fade, did flee, depart, and burn out Hits ultimately ended. So Farewell, no doubt, We, ns swans, must sing our pensive song. Wonderiiig and looking askzince ut the arduous heiglil Whose quicksunds confront us, we beg for insight Into the world's difficult task of endurance, We :ire standing at the foot without any assurance Of the future. But, Forward, 'tis said, The past is behind. Duty is calling and beckoning us from school. Naught As Freshmen, Sophomores. Juniors was seriously thought Of graduation: but as Seniors, the word With significance is filled: like a sword Doth sever us from scenes very dear to our mind. Graduation! XVhat sad facts it tells To its victims! For the sc-hoolmate who compels Us to share with him his joys and his sorrow: A true friend, a dear one, who on the morrow After the time of graduation will go his own way.

On the Kalends of September, a11 army of Freshvirorum sought higher learning at D. C. H. S. This bold and fearless band entered school with duabus legions. The prima numbered eight boys and the secunda nine girls, armed with ink bottles and blotters. Through spies we learned of the evil intentions of the Sophomorum. Daily, we fought them, but our only safety was in flight. After nine months of warfare, we con- quered the enemy, Exams, and were eager to take up the studies of a Sophomorum. Each was given a leave of absence of three months in reward for his excellent services. Liber Securidus Conquesfs. as Sophomorum-1926-27. September of 1926 found live Freshvirous absent. They were enlisted in other occupations. The prima legion had four boys and the secunda legion had eight girls. Now it was our chance to bcmbard the Fieshviros and we took advantage of it. Many tmes our scouts lxroughi in unfavorable reports. Then the unlucky one under- went severe torture. After a few captives had been punished, they attempted no longer to disobey. These little frays did not keep us from our hooks, and in June 1927, our imperator ordered us into summer training camps for another three months. Liber Tertius Conquests. as .lun'ores-1927-28. Again we were commanded to gather up our baggage trains and beg n another march covering nine months. On this route our band still retained the faithful twelve. This introduced our teriium march into D. C. H, S. We elected the seats vacated by the Seniores and followed in their footsteps. iVith a wooden barrack, protected by steel paiisades, we assailed the tour days of dread Final Exams. Befng victorious. we fiaunted our green and gold ensigns and rejoiced for many days. We shall long remember that memorable day when we returned to camp, marching to the tune of the D. C. H. S. Victory Song. People cheered us, and we all promised to return after a few months spent on furlough. Liber Quartus In September 1928, our army of eleven soldiers marched to its last battle. XVe were confident of ourselves and walked with a tirm. bold tread. In the prima rank we had Carl Kohne, Arthur Miller, and Robert Rumschlag. The secunda rank numbered eight puellas. Frances Schultz, Agnes Baker, Helen Lengericli, Margaret Eiting, Mary Virg'nia Hyland, Patricia Teeple, Elsie Brunuegraff and Dolores Omlor. Jerome Mylott was enticed to join the ranks of St. Mell's warriors. His absence is regretted by his classmates. During the year we held many councils with interesting speeches from our general and his assistants. At these meetings, the Seniores presided with the assurance 0- veterans. Means for raising pecuniam were discussed, and we willingly gave any information to the Junioribus which they desired. Commencement night is near at hand. It is the goal for which we have worked for many years. VVith it comes a hurry and a SCll1'l'y. XVhile we work eagerly prepar- ing for it, thoughts of leaving our teachers and schoolmates sadden us. A farewell is not always pleasant. For us, it means also a separation from each other. In the years to come, we shall always cherish a feeling of love and gratitude for our Alma Mater. To her, we owe our education and opportunities. DCHS--THE TATTLER-i--DCI-IS WHEN WE ARE OLDER GROWN Agnes E. Baker,'29. Mary, run upstairs and get my album and I shall show you some pictures that were taken when I was in high school. That was thirty years ago, said aunt .Iane to her ten-year-old niece. The child complied with alacrity, then cuddlefl close to her aunt to hear her rea-I the pictures. Mary turned back the leather cover ot the time-worn album. Pointing to the filet picture, she eclaimed, Obi auntic, tell me about that boy. Yes, that is Robert Runischlag. See, he is seated at a desk, in the laboratory. intently engaged in his work. I-Iis labor was not in vain. Today, he is the moist noted among living chemists. He has discovered some very rare chemical elements and has completed the thart of Mendeleef, the great Russian alchemist. VVhen you are older. dear, you will understand what a great task Robert has mastered. VVho is that pretty girl, you have pasted in the middle of the page. auntie'? She, too, is one of my former schoolmates. Patricias dazzling personality has won her a prominent place in soc'ety. In her youth she was always the center of at- traction and admiration. Even now, she is an active leader in society circles. Look at that next picture. aunt Jane. What are those girls reading? How well l remember when that picture was taken! It was the day Dolores and Maiy Virginia received their application papers from the Nurses' Trafning School in Indianapolis. See. the snapshot was taken right near the school. The girls were walk- ing slowly, devouring every item on their papers when we snapped that picture of them. Today, they are both doing noteworthy work. Mary Virginia at present. the private nurse of ex-President Hoover, who is suffering from the ailments of old age Dolores, due to her devotion to her profession has been appointed superintendent of nurses in a large hospital in New York. Yes, Mary, I know that girl. too. That is Helen Lengerich. the kind soul. Sh-1 has always adhered to her reputation of a helpful, consoling friend, She is. at the present time, engaged in missionary work among the pagans in foreign lands. Now read this one to me, aunt Jane. That is Frances Schultz. She has spent many years in Italy. where she perfected her knowledge of the Latin language. She is now employed as teacher of this subject in the University of California. t'VVho is that girl. holding a kitty in her arm? That is Elsie. She has never outgrown her fondness for the feline family, When l last heard of her she was fostering a society devoted solely to the protection and shelter of stray cats. And look, Mary, here is a picture of Margaret. For many years she conducted a cooking school. She was successful in her work and now she is the proprietor of a chain of restaurants. VVho is that boy with the ball in his hand? asked Mary. That is Carl Kolme, once a great basketball players His ability won him the position of coach in a large high school in the west. Several years ago he retired and was placed on the list of successful coaches. Now tell me about the next one. 'tHe is a successful real estate agent. For many years Arihur spent all his time and energy in the sale of lots in Decatur. It is largely clue to his ability and hard work that Decatur has grown to be a large and prosperous city. Here is the last one on this page, Mary. That is Agnes Baker. She has received a patent for an automatic typewriter eraser. The sale of her apparatus has made her a fortune and she is now living in peace and luxury on her estate in Florida? Now it is getting late. dear, and you had better go to bed. I shall tell you abou: the pictures on the next page some other time.

Every member of the class feels that he has succeeded in this respect. Although we graduate in June, we shall never cease being grateful for all the privileges and opportunities afforded us by our dear Alma Mater, D. C. H. S. Patricia and Elsie enjoyed a race from the chemistry room to churcli with Sr. Benigna. All scrambled hurriedly down the steps to win, but the result was a tie. Anyway. Sr. Benigna showed us that she could travel on foot like nobody's business. Margaret Eiting always had a pet cough which caused much attraction. Ever since our experiment with nitrous oxide tlaughing gasl her unique laughter seems to tickle the assembly. Dolores Omlor had a big notion to borrow 21550.00 to go to the National Catholic tournament. She said she could repay it on Easter when she received the check prize for her Holy Name essay. Yet she hesitated, because she thought it better not to count her chickens before they were hatched. During the summer months FTHIICQS Schultz was a Goody Goody Girl in a barbecue stand near Dayton, Ohio. VVe feel proud that we can call her our Goody Goody Girl of D. C. H. S. for nine months of the year. Helen Lengerich boasts of the fact that she seldom gets nervous. XVe bet that during the final chemistry exam she'll get a taste of nervousness and be shaky like the rest of the class. Dolores Omlor. even though a senior, is anxious to go flower hunting. She dc- clares that she'll be impatient until the month of May arrives. We can 'say that there was one day when Art Miller really did know his chemistry. It's quite noteworthy because on that day he was credited with a 90 per cent. Patricia Teeple cannot comprehend why we don't experiment with perfumes in Chemistry instad of making gases, such as chlorine and hydrogen suliide, which have such disagreeable odors. Agnes Baker already boasts of the fact that she learned how to blush in public speaking class. XVith that beginning. I predict that she'll learn a great deal more. When studying the bomb calorimeter for determining the calorific value of coal, Robert Rumschlag stumbled over the word capsule He was surprised to learn that there is another species beside the kind his mother gives him, Even though we are so unfortunate as to have only three boys in our class were proud to have an Isaac. tCarl Kohne.i 'tLawsy Omlor is our swiftest and most accurate typist. lf you think this statement is false just watch her for ten minutes. Seeing is believing, you know! DCHS-L-THE TATTLERW- DCHS SENIOR PLEDGE We, the Senior Class of 29. on this twenty- eighth clay of May, do solemnly promise always to he true lo our Alma Mater. and to the principles which she represents. We shall ever perform our duty to God and man with the greatest zeal, and thus eventuallv reach the goal to which we are aspiring. Having attained to some measure of physical growth, we realize that our mental, moral, and spiritual progress is ever in our keeping. VVQ2 hert-by resolve to do everything in our power to cultivate the principles of righteousness that will make us honorable men and women. -Patricia Tceple,,29. ..

DCI-IS-i-THE TATTLER-l-DCHS A VOYAGE UPON JUNIOR SEA Helen Voglewede,'30 ln September, 1926. eleven girls and twelve boys secured passports to sail on the good ship, D. C. H. S. It was explained to them that they must sail over four sea,- Freshman, Sophomore, Junior and Senior. On the appointed day they set forth with zeal and determination, and after a year of labor and cooperation they Completed the first part of their voyage. After a brief stay at Vacation Island they resumed their voyage. Virginia Keller and Catherine Fritzinger had taken another route, by which they might teach their goal. There then remained nine girls and twelve boys. The knowledge acquired dur- ing their nrst year enabled them to brave the storms of Sophomore Sen. Many difficul- ties beset them, but each in its turn was overcome. until the sea-farers had landed in the harbor of Midwayland. In the fall of 1928 when they had begun the third year of their voyage which was to take them over Junior Sea. they found that three of their classmates: XYilliarn Klepper. Mary Neptune. and Bernice Sorg. had secured passports on other ships, Dur- ing their voyage they had many unexpected and interesting experiences. VVhi1e visit- ing in the Latin countries they had great difficulty in making the people understand them. At one place they were unable to obtain many things which they needed. because of their inability to speak the Latin language. and they wished that they were back In America where they could speak their English and be understood. But they determined to study their Latin. so as to make the remainder of theirrvisit a pleasant one and to take advantage ot' the wonderful opportunities afforded them. Most interesting meetings were held each afternoon when several of the passengers were called upon to make speeches and show their skill in :he art of public speaking. On February eleventh. an enjoyable Valentine party was given in the ballroom of the ship for the passengers as a reward for their efforts and cooperation in producing the log of the ship. Many other events occurred during their voyage which helped to make it a most successful one. As they neared the end of their travels over Junior Sea. breezes were wafted to them from Grown-up Land, the object of their hearts' desires. DCHS---1THE TATTLER- DCl-IS JUNIOR CLASS NOTES George Harris and Bernard Wemhoff had quite an argument in history class as to whether the Volstead act or the Eighteenth Amendment was passed first. They're both passed, so why bother? According to John Schmitt the Romans of Cicero's time were very odd-looking fellows. He says, YVhose hair is well dressed or beardless or heavily bearded. We all miss our former classmate, Mary Neptune, who moved to Toledo. Her clever readings were always a source of pleasure to everyone. Coasting parties were favorite amusements this winter. The snow wasn't packed hard enough, for when such folks as Helen Voglewede, George Harris, Gerald Gage and others took spills they wiped the snow all off the hills, thus spoiling the fun for the others. The public speaking class is creating considerable interest in its field of action, We appreciate Father Hession's efforts and are endeavoring to cooperate with him by becoming efficient public speakers. Many of Cicero's famous sayings apply well to the Latin III class. You know were brighter than the stars! Everyone misses that famous geometry class of ours. Our happy geometry days closed with the first semester. The general science class which took its place is going to be just as famous. Just ask the members anything about hot air and they'll tell you more than you care to know. They're full of it. Wemmie must think grandfathers are young men because he insists that the sentence, VVhen six years old my grandfather died, is correct. The shorthand class wonders why introduce such big words in the text When they possibly will never see them again. You may meet some yet today, you never know. Abraham Lincoln was a rail splitter before he advanced to fame. The shorthand t-lass worked harder they believe, than Abe ever did. therefore, they oughte'r be that much more famous. VVashington, Lincoln, Patrick and other famous men are so firmly impressed in the minds of our five Junior historians that. as often as they change classes, sudden out- bursts of Give me liberty, or give me death - of the people, by the people, and for the people -are heard, and then you know whos coming: Modoc, Jerry, Pete, Fuzz and Wemmie are diligently employed in trying to make history repeat itself. They have already crossed the St. Mary's twice. routed the Germans at YVatt, preached the gospel in Limberlost, and delivered the Gettysburg address at Bobo. The experiments made in general science class would startle the universe. These embryonic alchemists are improving science daily. George Foos rejoiced when the Commodores left on trips. He is the only one of the history class who does not belong to the squad. DCHS-4- TI-IE TATTLER----DCHS .rUN1oR CLASS soNo 4'l'une ol' Hells of SI.

On September the seventh in twenty-seven, They boldly set sail for a distant haven. The sailors numbered quite over a score: As they, t'tis saidl, didn't need any more, And so they hoarded the ship of life, For honor and knowledge to engage in strife. They started out on a very calm sea, Their hearts were light and filled with gleeg For they were hound for a distant land, VVhit'h vould only be gained by a clilillent hand. Almost all they did went well that year, And no one shed a hitter tear. The gale. Exams, smote with all its strength. The vessel shuddered. then leaped its entire length. Veiled were their topsails to this blast. While their helm was lashed a-leeg And fearfully their vessel drove on, Over this mean and stormy sea. Through this storm they safely sailed, Sinve not a single one had failed: The captain now quite o'erpleased, Proelaimed vacation on the seas. After three months of peace and rest, The ship Continued on its quest. One sailor was missing who o'er board did slip. But was saved from the waves by a distant-bound ship. For nine,. long, weary months 01' more. They kept on sailing toward the shore: Where all were longing now to be, Instead of upon that stormy sea, Bolder and holder became the Crew, As they the older and wiser grew, Until now at any sign of gale. They skillfully hoist each flapping sail. The second year closes. They've sailed the open main SIli'CGSSfl11lY, through every storm and strain. Their third year of voyage remains a mystery, But wait until next year to hear that history.

DCHS -TI-IE TATTLER--1--DCI-IS SOPHOMORE CLASS NOTES Poetry, a very interesting subject, is now being studied by the Sophomore English class. Poetry is a very rlitticult division of English, but the Sophomores have made satisfactory progress. rlf you don't believe this, ask Sr. Veral. Tom Voglewede seems to have a regular mania for asking questions in English. Keep it up, Tom. They say that it takes an intelligent man to ask a clever question. You'll get there some day. ' Mugs Vian wonders why we study the works of authors who are dead, VVake up Mugs. The dead can't answer back when they're criticized. Extra! Extra! Big snow battle between Flo Harris and Mugs Vian. Mugs threw some snow in Flo's face and to the delight of their companions Flo chased Mugs to the corner where she proceeded to wash her face. All's well that ends well. however. They are friends again. Sfnce the Sophomore class started Geometry they have added many brand new eompasses to their collection of rare articles. The Sophomore class travels along smoothly in Latin as long as sea battles do not interfere. I wonder why? Don't you? The Sophomore girls offer to take up a collection to buy Pat Coffee a loud speaker for Latin recitation. If you wonder why just ask Pat. Mary Helen Lose sincerely hopes that Flo Harris has as good a time in writing class notes as she has in theory. At the last coasting party the Sophomores met with serious disasters. They broke three sleds. Bob Eiting in translating Latin said. The stern was fastened to a great number of stormy waves. Bob must be a magician. Art Krick asserts that the only difference between area and perimeter is that the area is on the inside and the perimeter is on the outside. The Sophomore English class is progressing rapidly since the pupils take turns at being teacher. The only drawback is that generally these pseudo-teachers have difficulty in answering the questions asked by the pupils. The Sophomores were surprised to hear that they had Fords in Caesars time. While translating Latin they discovered that a Ford crossed the Rhone river in Caesars days, If there is a doubt in anyones mind as to whether or not poetry is written by ill- spiration. that doubt would have been dispelled had they visited our English Il class on the day the basketball team went to the state tournament. VVe wrote song lyrics fit. for a Shelley, individually and collectively. They appeared in the Decatur Daily Democrat. Loolt up your files for the issue of March Tth,, if you want proof of our statement. VVe learned the other day that YValther von der Vogleweide was a famous German poet. Tom Voglewede claims relationship. but we don't believe him. Information on the subject is sought. Margaret Vian in translating Latin said. A road 1-an through the Sequaniansf' We don't know how Mugs Hgures this, but we suppose it's all right, Bob Eiting can't quite learn all the terms included by the circle. He still claims that arch is just as good a name as arc and continues to use it. 51I'R Xv ga QW f V W ffl I R L5 ' Vf ff P 4 L- up If ,X I , 'X fig! xx bf tart DCHS-1--THE TATTLER---DCI-IS THE START Patricia Holthouse,'32. On September 4. 1028, twenty-four of us set out on a journey to the Mountain of Education. We started on a winding, difficult path, laden down with provisions. Algebras. Histories, English, and Latin tests were in our knapsacks. In our wanderings we came upon Algebra Inn hidden in a deep forest. Mr, Algebra, the inn-keeper, a very wise man, told us the history of the inn and tried to teach ns, but found it a very hard task. lVe stopped there a short time and elected our leaders: President, Carl Lose: vice-president. James Fisherg secretary. Florence Lengerichg treasurer, Mary Miller: reporter. Frances Lengerichg class historian, Patricia. Holthouse. Next, on our journey. we encountered a white-liairerl. old man, blocking our path. He was reading the Merchant ol' Venice by Shakespeare. He did not detain us long. After walking a short distance we came upon an old, crumbling castle. Vl'ith great curiosity we entered it and whom should we meet but our old friends Philip II and Alexander. Philip II bade us remain a while with them and learn his history and that of his ancestors. We were very much impressed by their culture and knowledge. Upon leaving the castle we crossed a moat. The drawbridge was let down and we were summoned by the herald to cross. One of our number failed to heed his summons. The drawbridge was raised and our companion was left surprised and alone on the bank. VVe had to cross a deep gully, called the Ravine of Troubles by jumping from one precipice to another. We were saddened by the loss of two of our boys. who slipped and disappeared in the ravine. We traveled up a very steep incline till we came to an old Roman ampliitlieatre, There we saw Lucius, our Latinist. He was presiding over a chariot race in the arena. It. was ia very good thing that we had mastered our Latin vocabulary, as the people were conversing with each other in Latin. After watching a very exciting race we continued on our journey. being but one-fourth of the way to the peak cf the Mountain of Education.

A tenant can be destroyed: at least, that's what l ranr'is Lichtle tt-lls us. One of the students from the Commercial Department had detel'm'nrfd to take sev- eral high school subjects in connection with the commercial work, Commercial arithmetic was substituted for commercial law in the second semester Charles Omlor ought to be able to supply the whole class with paper and pencils since he has a new job: anyhow, we hope so. The freshmen entertained the upper classes of the high school on February Gth. Cootie was the main source of entertainment. Silas Marner has been a universal favorite in our English class. A few of the freshmen were disappointed at being unable to atten-l the pre-Lffnten party. Florence Lengerich and Charles Omlor sure make a good pear The other day they had their pictures taken together. Charlie was the stem and Florence the pear, We wonder why: Salome Schmitz and Mary Colchin are always waiting for a Fort Wayne game. Jim Fisher is always looking to the right, Don't tell, Mary Miller sits there. Francis Lichtle likes Sister Benigna. The freshmen class held a spelling contest recently. An equal number was chosen on each side. At the end of the period only two remained: Frances L.enzerit-11 and Helen Hain. Aloysius Geimer is the best pupil in the history class. thats what Sr, Benigna says. bnt. we don't think so. Aloysius says. Sr, Benigna knows what she is talking about. Estella and Rosella Lengerich it seems share the honors with him. Carl Lose seems to be the best dancer in our class. because he is always dancing about the room. Mary Ann Lose has a new ring. XYe all wonder where she got it. Thelma Cook's favorite occupation is chewing gum during history class and pass- ing notes to Mary Colchin. lVe wonder what Sr. Dionysia means when she calls Mary XYertzbErger honey. Vile wonder why Catherine Schumacker got home so late the night of the C. C. game. Barbara Jane Keller entertains the spirits every night in the cemetery. The Merchant of Venice proved a very interesting study in English during the last few weeks. XVe regret that we are studying but one of Sl1akespez.re's works this year. Since the problems and puzzles of algebra are gradually being disclosed. the Freshmen class has cultivated a greater interest in X. y. ZE. -c The Freshmen as a class are diligently applying themselves and as a result the names of various members appear regularly on the honor roll. Aloysius Geimer tried to persuade the class that Niagara Falls is an island. He finally agreed that his knowledge of geography had failed him. In history James Fisher said, When Alexander the Great died he left no heirs and the Wars of Succession followed. iYe wonder what, he meant. Jim Fisher, turning around and looking at the hook Florence was reading, A'Lorna Doone -Oh is that a mountain? COMMERCIAL DEPARTMENT K Kg Q 'l Tl 'Lf' . ' . .

It might be more appropriate to say that the high school entertained the Commercial class. for that was what they did. The students were called upon to do certain things in a certain way, Highlights of the entertainment were: Bill Cass demonstrating how to take care of the baby: Bernard XVemhoft bowing to the prettiest girl in the assembly: Petie Mylott and Pat Coltee imitating the fire whistle. Our shorthand notes are beginning to look more like shorthand now that we know our principles. It was only hard study and unceasng practice that has brought us to the point. at which we IIOXV Rnd ourselves: namely. able to take dictation. One of the many interesting features c'onnec.ed with our course in office work is the operation of the mimeograph. We have been taught how it works and the mechan- ism of it. Although we have not as yet used it. we feel certain that when we are called upon to do so, we'll be skilled artisans in a short time. Since Edward Bud Metzger left our class. it is hard to tind jokes. or one on whom to pull some wise cracks. So if the notes are not interesting, don't blame us. Joe Murphy, better known as lrish. sure is lrish to his toes. 'We wouldn'1 be surprised if some day we would hear him remark Begorra. Reedy and his fiivver play a very important part in the lives of many D, C. H. S. students. His rides are usually followed by a walk. 1 TVe really believe that Freddie lYolpert has reformed. He now spends his spare time playing basketball. Lawrence Kohne and his hat. are what might be termed. Inseparables. Yes, folks, its a big mans hat. Charles Leonard missed several weeks of school. because of a broken toe. One might compare him to John Fleming in Marjorie Daw, but where is the dream girl? Mary Gase is some bookkeeper. lYait until she gets into an office. She'll show them all up. 'Virginia Keller certainly displays good taste when she chooses Joyce Kilmer as her favorite poet.

The power to concentrate is lost. A person is perplexed in making decisions. He cannot hold persistently to one subject. He does not possess the key to power.

He has l10t avoided the enemies of any one or of all the forms of growth: physical, mental, moral and best of all, spiritual. --mmm-t Addison tells us that what sculpture is to the block of marble, that education is to the human soul. Education, as commonly understood, is the process of develop- ing the mind by means of books and teachers. Very often education is neglected, either by lack of opportunity, or by the heedlessness of the opportunities afforded. The one remaining hope is self-improvement. Opportunities for self-improvement are abundant, There can be no good excuse for neglecting to use the books and free libraries, so abundantly supplied, for mental growth and development, ---mmm-- PERSONALITY AS AN ASSET There is something about one's personality which the painter cannot reproduce, which the sculptor cannot carve. This inexplicable something which everyone feels, but which no one can describe, has a great deal to do with success in life. We are unconsciously influenced by individuals who possess this magnetic power, The moment we come into their presence we have a sense of enlargement. They un- lock within us possibilities of which we previously had no conception. VVe feel a new power stir through both mind and body. We experience a sense of relief, as if a great weight which long had pressed upon us had been removed. On the other hand, we frequently meet people who make us shrink into ourselves. The moment they approach we experience a cold chill. VVe cannot smile in their presence. They fill us with a vague uneasiness. The chief dinerence between the two types lies in the possession or the lack of personal charm or manner. It is a gift of nature, but it can be cultivated as well ag music, art, or poetry. lt is the ultimate result of an unselfish, Christ-like soul, DCI-IS THE TATTLER-l-DCI-IS GOING 'ro COLLEGEQ Can I afford to go to college? asks many 11 high school graduate who has hardly a dollar to his name, or who knows that a college course means years of sacrifice and struggle. lt seems a great hardship, indeed, for a young man or a young woman with an ambition to do something in the world to be compelled to pay his or her own way through college by hard work. But history shows that the men who have led in human progress have been, as a rule, self-educated and self-inade. The average youth of today who wishes to obtain a liberal education has a far better chance than had Daniel Webster. In this, as in all else. the will can usually make the way, and never before have there been so many avenues open to the strong will, the inflexible purpose, as there are today. Many brilliant, wcll-trained young men and women who have been graduated from colleges and universities believed that a college training was something they must hav-A, The question of whether or not they could afford it did not give rise to hesitancy on their part. They did not for one instant think that they could not atford to go to college. They felt that they could not afford not to go: therefore, they made a way.

Does he look upon this leisure as precious, rich in possibilities. as containing golden material for his future life structure? Or does he look upon it as an opportunity for self-indulgence, for a light, flippant time? The way we spend our leisure is the keynote of our lives. It tells whether we are in earnest, or whether we look upon our fixture as a huge joke. VVe may not be con- scious of the gradual deterioration of character. which is the result of evenings spent frivolously, but the dreadful effects are inevitable. Each of us should have a hobby. It is our right to use our spare moments in quam. tying for leadership in that particular delight which interests us most. may be engaged in the various branches of athletics: such' as, golf, hockey, racing. or baseball. Others delve into the secrets of nature, either through literature or through science, for enjoyment. The study of the nature poets, such as Wordsworth and Whittier, or the solution of bewildering mathematics problems furnishes pleasure. Still others broaden their views by application to their immediate business pursuits. Thus an ordinary stenographer becomes a court reporter. We must have our favorite occu- pations.

Advisory services needed. Monsieur Champagne. This cablegram lay on the desk of the president of the Transcontinental Railroad company. Edmund Reid, who had returned but an hour ago from the inspection of all the offices of the company, read the message. He had spent six months in traveling from New York to San Francisco, stopping at every station along the road to examine its business, to suggest remedies for the existing evils. and to learn the character of his company's employees. He had no time for rest before he was called upon to set out on another strenuous journey. Edmund Reid's name was synonymous with ability, power, influence, success, and service in railway organization. While yet in the elementary grades he had been inter- ested in railroad industries. At the age of thirteen he was already a man of business. During his high school days he spent his evenings and Saturdays learning railroad telegraphy at the station in Peoria, Illinois. The local operator kindly instructed him in the duties of the position. Edmund passed the companys examination with honors. and thereby easily obtained the management of a station in a small town in Indiana. He was the youngest man in the service of the Transcontinental Railroad company. One success made way for another. Very soon he was elected to the District Coun- cil of Rai'way Advisors, then to the General Council, and was finally summoned to the general office in New York. He was there but a few years when, at the age of twenty' four. he was elected general manager of the company. and three yars later, president. Hfs administration marked the merger of the XVestern Express. the VVestern Coast Limited, and the C. 8: N. Y. railways into the Transcontinental Railroad company. Edmund Reid was apparently successful in every undertaking, The Reids were one of Peoria's most esteemed Catholic families. Edmund's father was a man of extensive experience and was. perhaps. the most respected citizen of the vicinity. He was as advisor of his banks when they served the as Christmas, Easter. ent in the sanctuary. The seventh son, confidential a companion to his nine sons as he was a capable patrons. He was a true Catholic father, justly proud of his sons priest at the altar: he was superbly joyful when. on such occasions and Forty Hours' devotion, his nine sons were among those pres- Edmund. appeared to be the most promising of all of them. His parents prayed that he would consecrate himself to God in the holy priesthood. He was the only one of the childrengjwho. with his mother, inquired of his father concerning the business at the bank. Itlwaslhis delight to be his father's valet. Every morning he accompanied his parents to the early Mass and received Holy Communion. while his brothers slept. Edmund was the most serious of the children. He was often found meditating. and when asked about the subject of his thoughts. his answer was in- variably an edifying one. Sometimes in his ecstasy he answeged a part cf the Angelical Salutation. Thus Edmund was reared in an atmosphere of religious fervor. Mr. Reid was pleased with the youth's ambition to learn railroad telegraphy. It is true, he was disappointed that Edmund did not choose the life of an Alter Christusv: 1 He did. however, hesitate in allowing his son to the Peoria station, which he knew was open to overruled his objections. Guided by the finger of Blessed Mother. nevertheless. he did not interfere. receive the necessary education at criticism. But Edmund's entreaties God, his father entrusted him to the Alas! He did not realize that the higher a human being rises, the lower he falls. if he should fall. He did not recognize the importance of wholesome environment in DCI-IS--?THE TATTLlER-L--DCI-IS the formation of character. He yielded easily to the immoral persuasion of the degen- erates who gathered each evening at the station. During the first year he was but slightly affected, because his catechism, his pastor's and teachers' instructions, and his reading still swayed his conduct. However, slowly but su1'ely, the habits and customs of his associates crept into his daily life. Edmund's language was no longer the expressions of a Catholic altar boy. He scoffed at his former piety. He thirsted less frequently for the Fountain of Ltife. He was clever enough to delude his parents who believed that he was so occupied that he could not perform his customary devotions. His last year in school was the time of his downfall. He refused advice. He was incorrigible. He was the victim of false philosophy, occultism, and anti-Catholic propaganda. The grief-stricken parents suffered another thorn when their once pious, devoted, little boy left his home on the eve after graduation to give full vent to his passions. Edmund was influenced by natural motives. He worked diligently for power among the railroad employees. From a worldly point of view, he was successful, and after only nine years of service, he was elected president of the company. But remorse of conscience was an uneasy bedfellow. He was sinking, in spite of himself, deeper and deeper into the abyss of crime. He was IIOXV responsible for the souls of six innocent little ones. Years passed. They left the mark of time upon his brow at an early age. His gray hair and his feeble body betrayed the sad uneasiness in his heart. The greater part of his European business was transacted with Monsieur Cham- pagne, whose villa was near Lourdes. The Monsieur had considered the establishment of a network of railways in the Alps mountains, and now sought the advice of one of America's successful railway leaders. Monsieur Champagne, a Catholic, went every morning to Lourdes where he at- tended Mass and received Holy Communion. He invited Mr. Reid to visit Lourdes with him, only to be refused and informed that his American friend had once been a Catholic who, having become enlightened, refused to believe Roman Catholic errors. Edmund declared that it was too late in his life to retrieve. So he thought. The Blessed Mother would not allow her month of May to pass without the con- version of an obstinate sinner. She must maintain her'title, Refuge of Sinners. She had 1'ecorded in the Golden Book the childhood devotion of Edmund Reid to his spiritual mother. She could let nothing go unrewarded. The Reid family was already on the vessel, preparing to return to America. St1'oll- ing on the deckin the glorious sunshine of May, he found in his pocket a rosary to which was attached a manuscript: Your father entrusted you to me. You must ieturn to my Son whose yoke is sweet, and whose burden is light. Come to Lourdes. Mary, Refuge of Sinners. The Monsieur, who had obtained the l'0S3l'y at Lourdes and had dropped it into his friend's pocket on his departure, was chosen as the baptismal sponsor of Mrs. Reid and the six children. Eight years later, Louis was ordained the priest his father had been destined to be. Every hour of the day Edmund Reid knelt to pray: Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death. Amen. What greater joy can earth afford Than holding converse with our Lord? A pledge of life to come in this, A forstate here of future bliss. DCHS-lTHE TATTLER---DCI-IS IDEALS AND POSSIBILITIES IN EDUCATION AND ATHLETICS Rev. Joseph A. Hession. Education is delined as the sum total of processes by means of which a community, whether small or large transmits its acquired powers and aims with a view to securing its own continuous existence and growth. Dr. Otto Willmann defines education as the fostering, directive and instructive influence of an adult person on the development of an adolescing child, in order to help it share life's common and established goods. Both formal and informal education are included in this definition, The perpetuation of the achieved civilization of a people, the continuation and conservation of the cui- ture of society, depend upon reai'lng the child of today in such a way as to prevent his generation from losing any ground gained by the previous generation, and to assist him to reach higher levels than any previous generation. This aim of constant advance- ment must he kept in mind by the agencies of informal education, the home, the play- ground, etc., as well as by the agency of formal education, the school. The old objection that I didn't have these new fangled things when I went to school topples, therefore, before the very idea of education. There must be advancement, and that there he advancement the child of today must be given advantages that the child of yesterday did not have. If it is to be complete. education must develop all the facilities ot' man. lt must give the student the physical and moral as well as the intellectual goods of life. As the moral and intellectual growth of the community are more important than it-1 physical growth, so the processes by which moral and intellectual growth are attained take more important places in education than the processes by which the physical side of a student is developed. Education should not, however. minimize the importance oi physical training. Physical training as a factor in formal education is not of modern invention. Our study of history recalls that physical and mental training were con:- hined in Roman and Grecian ancient schools. The German gymnasium combined the classics with the learning of a trade and physical training. The importance of physical training under one form or other has long been recognized both as a point of interest to keep the student occupied in clean pastime during the period of life when either good or had habits are formed, and as a means to develop the body properly, It is true that men of frail bodies and even life invalids have attained niches in the hall of fame, but that is not an argument for the neglect of training the physical side of youths. The face remains that the higher faculties of man operate through the medium of physical organisms. Hence, the training of these physical organisms to ready response by physical exercises that require their ready response, and the keeping of them in condition by attention to the whole physical man is important. Physical trains ing of some sort is therefore essential to a. complete educational system. This, of course, does not necessarily mean that athletics are essential, but since they are the form in use and serve the purpose we'll accept them. x Systematic physical training for every student should be the aim and reason for athletics in a school curriculum. The school's program of physical training should not be an unrecognized patch on the mantel of school activities, but should be inte1'WOVe11 with the other departments as an integral part. It should be an aid. not a hindrance to the moral and intellectual training of the student. as well as an instrument for develop ing deft bodies to do the bidding of trained minds. It is not my purpose to discuss moral and mental training, but to outline for you a workable program of physical training having its proper and recognized place in your school curriculum. This program must not be so elaborate as to interfere with FOHF studies, yet it must be sufficient to meet your needs. It must be one, too, that is with- DCI-IS-1-THE TATTLER----DCI-IS in our mea11s. It would be easy to outline an ideal course of physical training that would benefit all students if we could disregard our means. Such well-workedsout. programs are available ready made. There is a variety of them. Some of them we could not carry out, because they require money beyond the small sums we can coni- mand. Our task, in this article, will not be so much, therefore, to set forth the best system of physical training, as to determine the best that we can afford. People have blamed us for not furnishing this or that athletic advantage to the students, informing us of these advantages as if we knew nothing of them. The fact is that since they were not required to think often or seriously along these lines, they arrived at their conclusions long after we did. We have writings on these matters by those who have studied them longer and deeper than we have. Many constructive ideas are in use of which they are ignorant. Many other suggestions we receive are not constructive and some are impossible of execution under prevailing circumstances. All are without offers of help necessary to carry them out. Thus, with a world of good, bad, and in- different ideas to choose from and separate, we have arrived at what we believe to be a workable program of physical training, which we shall try to carry out. We have found that any program, to be successful, must have financial backing and your oo- operation. We want you to understand our aims and our difficulties and we want your co-oneration and help in gradually bringing our aims to fulfillment. The aim of the athletic management is to benefit all students. We must keep that aim constantly in mind, while at the same time we realize that circumstances are Sl1Cl1 that it will be some time before it can be fully accomplished. Many seem to consider our representative teams as constituting our athletics. Their conception of the benefits of physical training begins and ends with the Commodore team. Such is a very nar- row conception. All students need, and have as much right to, physical training ,is have the few boys on that team. The representative team should be only a part of school plan athletics for the training of all the students. This aim is attained in few schools. It has not been accomplished in ours. Though our progress may be slight, it is, however, the goal toward which we are striving. It is the reason we have this year introduced a second team. This second team gives additional boys an opportunity to get the benefits of athletics. It is the reason we introduced and personally financed baseball. It is the reason we tried to introduce intermural leagues for both boys and girls, an attempt that met with failure, because the students had not yet a true conception of the purpose of athletics. We shall try it again. An ideal school system of athletics would require an instructor or coach who could give full time to the work. He would have a systematized program of activities suited to the various departments of the school. Giving each department its allotted period, he could accomplish much and would have plenty to do. This instructor or teacher should have the same standing and recognition as any other teacher with a specialty- This is an ideal we cannot at present attain, because, burdened with debt as the school is, it cannot afford to hire a man to give his full time to the work, We'll keep the ideal in mind and in the meantime do the next best thing. No fund is available to hire instructors for teams that furnish no returns. The Commodore team pays, for itself and earns enough to give its coach a salary, fthough small compared to the work ho has done this year.l for part time service. That is as much as we can expect f1'om these returns and we are the only school to my knowledge whose team pays all the expenses of maintenance. Second team coaches and Eighth grade team coaches have in the past donated their services. This is more than l have the nerve to ask anyone to do again. Girls' athletics have been nil, because we could not afford to hire even a part time instructress. These are facts we have faced, facts we have sometimes over- come as obstacles, allfl facts that sometimes have compelled us to diSC011til1U9 aCtiVitiGS DCHS-QTHE TATTLER-iDCHS that We felt were almost essential. But we need not be discouraged. We cannot work with what we'tl like to have, but We can make the best of what we really have. What can we do? We have found it possible to furnish equipment sufficient to give the high school boys and girls, as well as the grade school boys and girls, a pro- gram of athletics as good as those in use in most schools the size ot ours. Und--r ordinary conditions, the financial returns from our interschool games will buy basket- balls, indoor baseballs, bats, etc., for intermural teams. This year extraordinary con- ditions, various, unavoidable, and unforeseen expenses caused our finances to be less than expected. We have hopes for better conditions in the future. Uur plan is then to introduce intermural athletics for all. The work of managing and carrying out this program of intermural athletics must necessarily be done by the students themselves. We shall explain techuicalities to you later. What do we mean by intermural athletics? The idea is simple. For the high school boys, since they are so few in number, we shall have just the first and second teams as they are at present. NVe expect all the boys, however, who have no physical defects to come out for these teams. For the high school girls, we shall form a league of teams within the school. The teams will be chosen by captains and a regular schedule of games will be played. The team having the highest per tent average at the end of the season will be recognized as school champion. The grade school girls will have a sImilar league. The representative St. Joseph School team wil be con- tinued, but after its members have been chosen. the rest of the boys will form teams and constitute a grade school league. We can apportion the time so that each league will have its prescribed period to play. This play will give all a chance to participate in the benefits of athletics. We ask all to become interested in it and to cooperate fully with us in putting it into execution at the beginning of next year. The expense connected with the plan is small. It is a practicable plan in use in many colleges and high schools. I have seen it successfully carried out in two schools which I attended. and I feel it will be successful in D. C. H. S. It will be beneficial to the student body as a. whole and will augment with systematical physical training the excellent work the Sisters are doing for your moral and intellectual good. We would indeed be unobservant if we did not notice improvement in the attitude of our athletes towards their studies. as well as an actual betterment of their scholar- ship. Their efforts deserve commendation. There is, however, ample room for ini' provement. They should not labor under the illusion that they have attained perfec- tion and rest in perfect self-satisfaction. Not all our athletes are yet on the honor roll. Looking back over my college days, not so many years past, I can say, that knowing what I do now, if I had them to live over. I'd use the time better. I would give less time to athletics and more to studies, but I'd put much more effort into both. Because of the much greater publicity the athlete gets than the scholar. it might seem that we lay more stress on athletics than we do on stud-ies, but such is not really the case. Scholastic attainments deserve praise above athletic prowess, and if we honor the school athlete. it is because we take for granted that he is also a scholar. He is supposed to have met scholastic eligibility standards. We honor the accomplished school athlete and the proficient scholar. 1iOt so much for the perfection he has attained. as for the consistent hard work and determination which he necessarily must have spent in attaining that perfecion. XVe know that medals for high marks in studies are not attained by overnight efforts and we know that athletic success is not the result of a single effort. Both represent constant sacrifice and mental restraint, as well as the best application of natural abilities. XVQ would do double honor. therefore. to the bog: who is, in the fullest sense of the term, a true student athlete. DCHS1-THE TATTILER DCI-IS LIKE A THIEF IN THE NIGHT Carl Kohne,'29. The thermometer showed forty degrees below zero. Eddie Gates sat on the bunk in a lonely cabin with his head resting in his two hands. Outside he heard the occas- ional yap of one of his buskies, his only friends. Gates had stopped at this forsaken cabin on this snow-covered. wind-swept plain of northern Canada, because he had seen signs of an approaching blizzard. and for another reason He knew there were but a few scant hours, before he would journey to his Maker. For nine years Gates had been a fugitive from justice. He had killed a man, who by all the laws of nature needed killing. He had not had a day of rest. Travel, travel had been his lot. The mounted police were well fitted for their work, and they always got their man. Gates knew they would never get him alive. His cough was becoming worse and worse, and at short intervals he spat out mouthfuls of blood. With a great effort he fed the dogs for the last time. In the distance was a figure approaching the cabin. Gates sat down weakly on the bunk and then lay down. Perhaps it was a half hour later, Gates did not know. when a man opened the door and came in. Ti1l'Ollgi1 dim eyes Gates recognized the uniform of the Royal Northwest mounted police. A week ago he would have startled to action, but now he hadn't the slightest fear of this man. Lieutenant Gordon had been set on the trail of Gates two years back. He had been constantly on the heels of the fugitive, but never within striking distance. He had long ago recognized the ability of Gates, and he had never taken a long chance in capturing his man. As he entered the cabin Gordon saw a man, but he did 11Ot recognize him instantly. The man coughed with a hacking sound. Gordon moved closer before exchanging greet- ings. Then with a start he recognized him. Gates! he ejaculated. Yes, replied Gates weakly and held out his wrists. No, replied Gordon sorrowfully, you'll never need handcuffs. Gordon had caught his man. only to be cheated of his prey by the thief that comes in the nightf' ,-.l--io-... WHO WAS SHOT AND WHO WAS NOT? John Schmitt,'30. A duel was lately fought by Alexander Shott and John S. Nott. Nott was shot and Shott was not. ln this case it was better to be Shott than Nott. There was a rumor that Nott was not shot, but Shott avows that he was not, which proves either that the shot, Shott shot at Nott was not shot, or that Nott was shot notwithstanding. It may be made to appear in trial that the shot, Shott shot, shot Nott, or, as acci- dents with firearms are frequent. it may be possible that the shot Shott shot, shot Shott himself when the whole affair would resolve itself into its original element, and Shott would be shot and Nott would be not. Some folks think, however, that the shot Shott shot, shot not Shott, but Nott. Can you tell who shot? Nott or Shott? -Seleced. ni..mm.1uu.1m-s-.1-v1--i.l1-.1- T HE TATTLER 1 9 2 9 D. C. H.

At his own home he was seldom seen. It is true he slept there, and sometimes deigned to eat breakfast. at his pareiital hoard, hut apo' from that, the family hardly knew him.

Central! Give me 449. please. This was my third attempt in a fruitless endeavor to get 449, and I was just giving up in despair. when a harsh. dis- cordant voice broke the busy hum of the wires, Money, money, I must have that money. Listen. Meet me at the old suspension bridge at twelve o'clock, and if you do not have that money-bah! the world will know you no longer! Every word seething with passion burnt itself indelibly into my ears. Stunned, speechless, I recoiled from the telephone, and with one vigorous swing I knocked the innocent instrument from the table and frantically jumped upon it. reduc- ing it to a. mere splintered scrap pile. With a sigh of relief I turned and fell into a chair, and tried to think out a plan of action. It was true I had borrowed ten dollars from George the preceding week, but DCHS--L-THE TATTIjERlL-DCI-IS I had no idea he would be in such a hurry for it. I slowly drew out my pocketbook, gingerly opened it, and counted the contents. The result was a grand total of thirty- nine cents and two collar buttons. The future I assure you was very promising, indeed. I glanced at the clock, and the hands pointed to exactly twelve. I became more and more excited. Wild schemes and plans ran riot through my excited mind, but I at last hit upon a plan. I would leave town. I was busily engaged in packing my belongings in my suit case, when I heard a well-known voice call my name. In my dist1'action I called out: I'm not in now I left on the eleven o'clock train. Come, come now, old man, no pranks on me. A heavy shoulder was laid against the door, which flew open with great violence, and in sprang George Wilkinson, the man to whom I owed ten dollars, and the man who threatened my life. I stood transtixed with horror. Cold perspiration broke out upon my forehead. My teeth chattered, and my knees knocked violently together, for I expected every second to feel a bullet go cracking through my body. Man! Man! What's the matter with you? cried George in anxiety. His manner somewhat reassured me, and I slowly gained control of myself. I meanwhile came to the conclusion that he had been playing a joke on me, and I confessed what had caused my fright. After I had finished, he burst into a roaring laugh, now yelling, now falling over chairs, now slapping his knee. He carried on like a veritable maniac. In course ot time his laughter abated enough for an explanation. Tom McGinnity, the actor, had dropped in to rehearse a little play in which I was to do the prompting stunt. We were continually bothered by the ringing of the tele- phone bell so Tom took down the receiver in order that the bell wouldn't ring and mean- while he kept on rehearsing. So I expect, old man, you heard the dramatic part ot his appeal. And he broke forth into laughter again, i.1-.Oi---L... PARODY ON THE SOLITUDE OF ALEXANDER SELKIRKU Thomas Voglewede,'31, When Alexander Selkirk went on a voyage to America. his ship was wrecked by colliding with the South Pole. Everybody was drowned except Alexander who clung to a barrel of latitude which he found floating, as if his life depended upon it. A few days later Alexander was washed ashore more dead than half alive. He slept for days and days, but was awakened by the sneeze of a mouse, which had built a nest in his coat pocket. The next day he built a shack in which to sleep and pass his idle hours of which there were many. Many years later, when Alexander had already despaired of ever seeing a human habitation, a party of explorers, looking for three-tinned wiffle-fish, happened to land on the island and rescued him. At the sight of the explorers Alexander swooned. Thinking that he was dead, the explorers took him back to England to be buried. Alexander awoke in the midst of the burial ceremonies when some hot wax from a candle fell on his nose. The surprised people listened intently when he told of his adventures. Alexander became famous and when he died his body was placed in a London museum. DCI-IS----THE TATTLER iDCHS A GLIMPSE AT US Helen Lengerich,'29. Lest any one individual of the Senior class be so bold as to disclose his great ability in some one particular line to the detriment of the rest, it seems advisable to disclose the exceptional qualifications of each one. Both students and teachers readily admit that it Cicero were living today he would have a great rival in the person of Carl Kohne. More than once has his fiery eloquence moved his attentive audience, inducing them to follow his proposed course of action. At least one great discovery in the field of science belongs to America. After considerable study and various experiments, Arthur Miller discovered that substance-5 when lowered into a flame burn very readily. This discovery has entitled him to the Nobel prize for 1929. Manufacturers of various makes of typewriters are discussing with Patricia Teeple and Robert Rumschlag the advantages of using their particular make of machine. It must be stated that both are seeking the championship as typists. Their latest records show that they have typed a ten-page article, averaging over a hundred words a minute with only one error. tln each line.p After years of continuous struggle Agnes Iiaker has acquired that long-sought-for recognition as the greatest pacific-ator since the time of Henry Clay. She attributes her success to the fact that as president of the Senior class she called the meetings :if the student body to order. D. C. H. S. points with pride to the success achieved by Elsie llrunne-graft. It was in English class last week that she, after carefully studying Goldsmitlrs The Travel- ler, came to the conclusion that in a poem various lines rhyme. It is Sincerely hoped that the students of this school will duly appreciate the etforts ot Margaret Eiting to place their knowledge ot music on the highest basis. Proof oi her zeal is shown by the fact that she leads in all choruses rendered by the Glee Club. The Chemistry class has been taught to break glass by filing it. and then pressing back on it with the thumb and fore linger. Dolores Omlor and Mary Virginia Hyland have formulated a new method by which glass is broken very easily. This method is used quite frequently in their experiments as is shown by the broken test tubes lying on their desks in the laboratory The outlook for a doctor of law from the Senior class is very bright. In a recent English class, Frances Schultz startled both teachers and classmates by her knowledge of terms in law while seeking the term required by the teacher. Perhaps it would appear egotistic on the part. of the writer to reveal her own ability and to sound her own praise: therefore, she gladly surrenders this task to the reader. For after all it is very true that by our deeds we are known. 1 T0l--11- BIG BROTHERS Helen Hain, Com. I. Gee! I wish my big brother wouldn't try to boss me around. It's Johnny, do this, and Johnny, do that. And if I happen to Sass him back. I hear him shouting, Mom, if you don't make that saucy little kid shut up, I will. And then of course. mom takes Jack's part and I surely get my ears boxed. Gosh! I sure do wish that there werent such things as big brothers. Say, if I were one, you can just bet on it that I wouldnt treat my little brother like Jack does me. Mom says I'm just a little impudent brat to Sass my big brother. but pop sides with me. Good old pop! I-Ie's my best friends: that is, next to my little puppy Scraggs. Golly! how Jack and Mom do hate Scraggs. Jack says he's a pain in the neck, but I'll keep him just to spite that big brother. You just wait till I grow up. I'1l show that big brother of mine where to land. DCHS -THE TATTLER-1-1DCI-IS REAL HAPPINESS Loretta Malley,'30. Extra! Extra! was the only sound heard besides the bustling of the crowds making their way home one blustery March eveni11g. Ten-year-old Dan Hannel was making a great effort to sell his remaining news- papers, When his efforts appeared futile, he brushed away a tear as he thought of his poor mother and the children at home, who would be waiting for what he might bring. As he crossed the street, a lady stepped from a car and in doing so, dropped her purse. He hurried to the place, picked it up, and hastened after her. VVhen he reached her he lifted his cap politely and said, Lady, I think this belongs to you. Bless your heart! she said. how shall I ever reward you for - - ? By buying a paper, pleasef 'he said bashfully, The Evening News. How many have you there? Never mind, I'll take them all. Here, when you get the change, bring it to my home, right at this corner. Thank you, ladyj 'and so saying he darted away through the crowd, happy, at hav- ing disposed of all his papers. . Where's the boy, and where's 1ny change he should have brought an hour ago the lady in question asked herself. as she sat waiting for the boy, an hour afterwards in her room. I might have known. All newsboys are the same-3 still, he seemed to have a very honest face. On the day after when she was sitting in her room, she heard a. timid knock at the door. Upon opening it she beheld a bashful, little urchin of about seven years of age, who 1'esembled the newsboy of the day before. My brother can't bring that change. because he was hurt in an accident: and if you'll just call the money lent, he said he'd work real hard when he gets better and pay you back. Just, please, don't think that he meant to keep the money. Come in, little boy, said the lady. Youre cold. Indeed, I don't think he meant to keep the money. I shall go with you, immediately, to the hospital, to see your brother. As they stood in the corridor of the hospital. looking into the room through the partly-opened door, they saw a nurse brush back the golden curls from the forehead oi' a boy, smiling though with the pallor of death on his countenance. Soon she entered the hall and told them that the boy had just died. mAh! I see, said the lady. Having known that I understand concerning his debt, he died happily with a, peaceful conscience. Q..- .1O..--.-E... STAYING AT HOME WHILE THE TEAM ATTENDS A TOURNAMENT Mary V. Hyland, '29. The artist of the famous drawing When A Feller Needs A Friend could have found a. tit subject for a cartoon had he seen the forlorn looks on the faces of the students as they gazed after the departing train that carried the Commodores to the national tournament. For they must go calmly back to school and attend classes just as though there were no tournament in progress or a possible championship awaiting them. What exertion of one's will power it took to concentrate on the Latin transa lation when there was the schedule all ready to be doped out. The morning after the game, it must all be replayed, each one contributing a share of what he had heard or read and his speculations as to what that day's results would be. How much more important such a discussion was than lessons that could be studied and recited any old day of the year! A tense air brooded over the whole school, and it is small wonder that the teachers sighed with relief at the end of the day. DCI-IS-TI-IE TATTLER-l-DCI-IS THE TWO OF THEM Leo Schu1tz,'30. The curtain was at length drawn, disclosing the Seniors about to exeunt from the portals of their Alma Mater. The years, months, weeks, days, hours, and minutes as members of the college student body became seconds. This remembrance and that recollection, this happiness and that sorrow, this triumph and that defeat, all the im- portantf events in the history of the four years crowded i11to those brief moments. The diplomas were in their hands. The commencement ei-te1'cises were completed. One hundred and eighty young men passed on solemnly from the Camp of Prepar- ation into the Field of Practice. As they, one by one, departed upon their several ways, I stopped, and thought. There they were. another legion of recruits added to the vast army of workmen. Each one was apparently equipped with the same endowments. The atmosphere he had breathed was wholesome. The same lofty principles had been inculcated upon each. ln a word, each one had been trained to adapt himself to what- ever circumstances might present themselves. I chose two young men from the throng and decided to follow them in their pursuits for some time. Both had prepared themselves for an architectural career. Both shared the distinction of having merited the highest honors of their class. They were intimate friends: in fact, they approached the mark of being twins as nearly as any natural. consanguine relatives. Five years later. I found far different scenes. Maurice and Harold were as unlilie one another as the inhabitants of foreign worlds. Their ideals were no longer similar. Their progress corresponded to the attitude with which they had plied their tasks. The opinions of the one seemed to have undergone complete reconstruction, while those of the other were a natural outgrowth of the policies upon which he had determined in school. Their paths led them to cross deserts. wind about in forests, climb mountains, traverse seas, mount the heavens. and penetrate the earth. Nevertheless. these roads were to lead to the Palace of Reward. Harold was. after many years. received into the palace at the end of the road. although his journey led him through paths on which many a time the difficulties he encountered well-night overcame him. Maurice. on the other hand. tell by the wayside, Confident that his enviable scholastic record would lend itself as an assistant of its own accord. he plunged head- long into the depths of non-exertion. It was of little consequence to him whether he kept pace with the demands of the times or whether he became a satellite who must be satisfied with the debris. Contracts were not outlined for him now as they had been in school. Neither did he make an effort to secure them.-v When he lost interest in himself, his supporters naturally discontinued their attentions. Instead of living in luxury, he merely existed in poverty. Cf all sad words of tongue or pen, The saddest are these: It might have been. For generations the social distinction between these two classes has been marked. It might have been otherwise.

Enthusiastic as was the send-oft. it was like the solitude of the desert compared to the welcome that greeted them on their return. Each six weeks shows an improvement in the work of the students.

S. is, indeed, very fortunate in having so splendid and capable a coach as George Shorty Laurent. He has accomplished in two years what many coaches have worked for but have seldom succeeded in producing in many yearsg namely, a classy and enviable basketball team. Coach Laurent is a model coach. He practices what he preaches, by keeping strict basketball training rules with the players. He dons a basketball suit to show the in- experienced players how he wants the game played and he sets for his team an example of real sportsmanship both on and off the basketball floor. It was through Coach Laurent's strenuous efforts that the D. C. H. S. Commodores won fourth place in the 1929 Catholic basketball tourney at Chicago, a feat which equals the accomplishments of any other team produced by D. C. H. S. We are proud of Shorty and appreciate his work. VVe are unanimously in favor of his filling the position of coach next year. I know there can be no dissenting voice to this proposition. THE STATE TOURNEY The Catholic basketball tourney was held at Indianapolis on Marsh 7, S, and 9. The Decatur Commodores were paired with Cathedral High of Indianapolis, a team which they had previously swamped during the season 43-12. Since Decatur was looked upon as the best prospect for taking the tourney, many people thought that Decatur would have little trouble in downing the Capital City team. The dope proved all wrong as Cathedral turned the tables on the Commodores by a 25-19 victory. Cathedral then easily swept through the tourney, since their most formidable foe was out of the running. The Commodores, of course, were down-hearted but received some comfort in seeing their victors crowned state champs. THE NATIONAL CATHOLIC TOURNEY Because of their failure to cop the state title, tl1e Commodores thought that they would not be invited to the national Catholic tourney at Chicago. The invitation to attend this national event was, therefore, a pleasant surprise. The tournament took place in Loyola gymnasium on March 20-21-22-23-24. The Commodores played Portsmouth C. H. S. in the first round. Little was known of the strength of the Portsmouth team, but we followers of the Commodores we1'e positive that our team would win. Coach Laurent used the regulars until he discovered that the Portsmouth quintet was weak both offensively and defensively. He substituted freely in order to save the regulars for the next game. The Commodores easily downed Portsmouth ZS-14. The Commodores played Creighton High School of Omaha, Nebraska, in the second round. After being held to 6 points in the first half, while Omaha. tallied S points, the Commodores made a brilliant. rally in the second half to score 17 points. Omaha was held to 3 points by an air-tight Commodore defense. The iinal score read, Commodores 23, Omaha 11. The Commodores were paired against the strong eastern team of Union City, New Jersey, in the third round. Union City held a commanding lead of 13-9 at the half, but the Commodore forwards and center bombarded the basket and placed their team safely in the lead 23-16, to enter the semi-finals. Chicago was astounded at the surprising strength of the Decatur pee-wees and sport write1's filled Chicago newspapers with dope on the Commodores. An extract from the Chicago Herald reads: VVhere there's basketball there's bound to be an Indiana team and color galore. So there were both in the sixth annual National Catholic Inter-scholastic tournament which wore into the semi-final stage yesterday afternoon at Loyola University, Decatur Catholic, a team which hails from a school of only thirty-five boys and a DCHS5-M a A aaa a THE TATTLER A aw -HDCHS Qoooooooo 9900ooQQooooooouoooqooscoooosefoo ooooooo 0 ' COMPLIMEN TS 2 Hof., I 2 I 5 1 CLOVERLEAF i CREAMERIE 5 i 6 O : f Tasty Ice Cream 6 9 Cloverleaf Brand Buffer O 0 9 6 0 0 I I PHONES 5 0-5 I -88 9 5 o 0 Q o Q O-40000-O OO9000000000000OOOOOOOOOOOQOQO-O4 0004909-O-Q 'Q 0 e DCI-IS- -THE TATTLER---DCHS town, Decatur, whose populat cn is not muth greater, was one ol the tour lives to crash through the quarter final round. Spurred cn by a hand of 100 rahid towifatollt, who made the trip to the tournainent hy motor, airp'ane, and train, the Dei-atrr Qgds overcame a Izig half-time handicap to upset the last of the stroiiaconteiulers from the east, St. Michael of Union City, New Jersey. The score was 23 to 16. The Hoosier lads were carried off their feet hy l'u'on City's scoring o'1'Imur5t in the first halt. But in the second halt they daicxled the easterners with their passing, tlrihhling, and rnder-the-hasket shots. Heading their attatk was I-'eta My-ht. at hlond youth who dsplayed as much pluck any rlval in the meet. His sister and Iirothcr, Margaret and Jerry llylctt, gave him wil-.l encouragement from the corner of the stands where the Decatur rooters clustered and shrieked. They are lndianians and baskeihall is their religion. So enthused were they over the victory, that they intmediately wired the news to Decatur, and accordfug to reports. a special t1'ain will bring' the rest of DeLatur's population up to Chicago for the semi- final. Decatur Catholic is to light it out with De La Salle ot Chicago, Illinois vs. Indiana. No wonder the rivalry is intense. Encouraged by their former victories the Commodores were determined to over- come the lanky De Ia Salle quintet of Chicago. As usual, the Commodores trailed at the first half. Their hope for yictcry ui renewed in the second half when Carl Kohne, star guard, sank a beautiful baslfrt with one minute to play. The secore at this stage ot' the game read: Ccmmodoies fi Circago 1-I. The old jinX which follows the Com- modores iu eyery semi-final rgund name made Irs appearance. On an out-of-hounds play. a Chicago player grahhed the ball near the side of the floor and put the game on ice tor Chicago with a pretty hrsliet. Before the flame ended, De La Salle scored a foul shot to fxicrerse tlieir lead to tv o ponts. The game ended wiih the score of 15 for the Commodores, and 17 for De La Salle. ln the cczisolation game the Commodores lust a listless and unexciting encounter with Peoria by a score of 24-1-I. Pat Coffee. the C'ommodore forward. received a very painful fnjury in the game, when lie Iiroke his collar-hone, as a result of colliding with .1 Peoria player. The Commodores were awarded tour h plare in the meet and were presented with a heautiful hrcuze hasliethall. De La Salle of Chicago, tonquerors of the Commodores in the semi-final rurnd, won the prized Cardinal Rlundelein Cup, the symbol of first place in the tourney. The Coniniodores have succeeded in winning three Inronze hasketlvalls at Chicago out of the four times they entered the tourney.
