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.
