SEIMETZ Superintendent During the many years that Father Scimetz has been the energetic pastor of St. Mary's Parish in Decatur, the welfare of the school has been the object of his deepest concern and tenderest solicitude. Today, thanks to his efforts, We have one of the best Catholic High Schools in the State, a school which enjoys the distinction of being commissioned by the State Board of Education. Besides being pastor of the parish, superintendent of the school, and instructor in the High School religion classes, he also acts as confidant and advisor to all in need of a sincere and faithful friend. For all these kind oifices We are deeply indebted to our Reverend Pastor, and We tender him a vote of the most heart- felt gratitude. REV. J. J. HENNES Assistant Father Hennes, besides fulfilling the duties of assistant pastor, also serves in the capacity of athletic director. Father Hennes takes an active interest in the school and school activities, and is in charge of the meetings which are held monthly by the Children of Mary Sodality. Although these activities keep him very busy, he also finds time to con- duct various classes in religion. His nevelxfailing enthusiasm in every cause and his good will toward every member of the parish, have earned for him the appreciation of all who have come in contact with him. THE FACULTY Reverend J.

S., take pleasure in express- ing our appreciation of the efforts of our Rever- end Pastor, his assistant, and our teachers. We Wish also to express our gratitude for the favors of which we have been the recipients.

Sixteen scaled the Mountain of Education and are prepared to journey forth to battle with life. Under the tutoring of our capable guides we mastered the various branches and learned to meet life with an extended hand. We safely ventured across the gullies and gaps, lakes and inclines, but during the whole year lost no travellers. Of course, We rested several times and visited, in order that we might resume our studies with greater vigor. On the last year of our research we met Mr. Long travelling with his history of American Literature. Of course, that was irresistable so we listened to him for a while. We were non-plussed with Lavoisier's labora- tory and nearly exploded it in some daring adventures. We encountered a little republic nestled in a craggy spot and we dwelt here and studied their Social Problems and Civil Government. Typing Town was a small, noisy, busy place. The people called the ruler of this town a tyrant because he demanded that all of their letters and books should be written in Shorthand. What would be the condition here if such were demanded? Toward the last of our journey we were halted and forced to visit the Examination Building. Here we were tested mentally and then, we hoisted our Green and Gold flag as we had successfully passed. Well here's hoping that our encounters with life will be as pleasant as our climb up the Mountain of Education and also as adventurous. Fare- well! Goddess of Education and your abode. JUNIOR Juniors! We were nearing our goal, but on this trip we suffered the loss of one of our classmates who had fallen into the Ravine of Sickness. We began to think we were becoming educated and were rather proud of our achievements. The paths of the Mountain of Education were less passable as we became familiar with the struggle for education. The students began to mature in their aims and ideals. On the journey the various travellers visited many places and learned some things that en- abled them to select their future occupation or career. We hope that they will be something other than a nobody. This year we were being guided by a number of our fellow-tourists whom we elected: Class President ........ .... .............- N 2- Omi F-?1U1'0'C6 Vice-President ...... --------- C h3I'!GS OH1!01' Segfetary -,',--.-,,,,,,, ..........

SOPHOMORES Sophomores! Just amateurs struggling for our way up the paths of the Mountain of Edu- cation. Nineteen of us trudged along, but three fell by the way- side, some because of ill health, others of complications. We tiptoed this time lest we should tread on some of the upper- classmen's feet and incur their Wrath, and then Woe be to us. The abilities of some of the classmen were beginning to be recognized as some were chosen to partake in athletic feats and dramatic entertainments given in the Olympic Mountain Gym- nasium an d Entertainment Arena. A glacier coming from the mountain had deposited bad luck on our tracks. It had scat- tered tests to be used every six Weeks and a great big obstacle that contained our final exams.

We armed ourselves with books and began on our steep and rugged climb up that Mountain of Education. We started out with twenty-four tourists but lost four in the fracas. What a giggling time We had and how rattle-brained We seem when We glance back four short years. We were more courageous after our Initiation day had passed as We considered that a day of impending danger. Our encounter with subjects strange to our former learning somewhat baffled and puzzled us. Nevertheless, as We were called green We thought We might as Well live up to our name in order that we might not disappoint the wise upperclassmen. N Occasionally We rested at Take-A-Rest-Inn and Stay-A-While Lodge and again resumed our ascent. We Were stopped by the guards Who for- bade us to continue until We had successfully passed our examinations. At the end of the first year of our journey We were detained only a few days and then granted a Vacation Time.

WAY BACK WHEN Just forty-five school children venturing forth to learn their Reading Lesson, the appalling sum of two and two, and all the other essentials of learning. Under the tutoring, first of Sr. M. Sophia, then of Sr. M. Lauraine we learned the P's and Q's of the fundamental studies. Those were the days of spelling bees, sewing doll clothes, Valentine boxes festive celebrations, and Santa Clauses. We regarded the high school pupils as wonders and prodigies or some- .thing beyond human beingsg whereas, they were only people like we were with intelligence a bit more highly developed. We cherish the memories of those days when we had misfortunes and pleasures. Sometimes we had a few spats with our classmates but such trivial wars didn't subdue our spirits. How we recall that Old School Building where we learned life's first lessons, where we took part in all the childlike games and pastimes. Only sixteen have survived from forty-live. Some of these missing ones have moved to other vicinities and left the scenes of their childhood. We have reached our destination, but we shall always remember those days in the Old Red School House with a pang of regret for days gone by and events beyond recall. Twenty-three.

One member of our group suggested that we visit a fortune teller to see what the future had in store for us. We entered Madam Jug-Rug's home with an expectant air. She agreed to tell our fortunes by means of a crystal ball which was centered on a stand in the middle of the room. She passed her hand gracefully over the ball several times and began in a monotonous voice, The ball says the time has changed from 1932 to 1952? I see Barbara Jane Keller, the superintendent of Bellevue Hospital in New York City. I see Joseph Voglewede, a celebrated chemist in his laboratory in Paris. I see Francis Lengerich, the proprietress of a social tea room. I see Carl Lose returning from his annual trip to the moon. I see Naomi Faurote taking dictation in the private office of the President of the United States. I see Patricia Holthouse's name glittering in electric lights on Broad- way as a famous opera singer. I see James Fisher, a professor of Science in the University of Southern California. I see Mary Wertzberger, one of the most popular screen stars known as 'Peggy Morgan' having just starred in 'Way Back When'. I see Charles Omlor skillfully performing a critical operation. I see Thelma Cook, a great swimmer who has just won the interna- tional title for swimming the Pacific Ocean. I see Mary Colchin, the world's tennis champion. I see Babe Schmitz, a distinguished beauty operator in Vienna. I see Geraldine Wait, a model for exquisite gowns in the most fashion- able dress shop of Paris. I see Robert Kleinhenz walking the floor of his home at midnight puzzling over a perpetual movement contrivancef' I see Mary Miller, before the microphone bringing her melodious voice into thousands of homes. I see Catherine Schumaker, society matron in the flourishing city of Delphos, Ohio. Then turning to us she said, That is all I see. Enough, wasn't it? Twenty-tive. THE TATTLER- SENIOR CLASS NOTES Only a few Weeks remain of our school life so let's review some of the events of the past year. When Sr. Benigna asked Charley Omlor to take a seat in the back of the room Charley politely carried his chair to the rear of the room and sat down. Thelma Cook's latest hobby is eating Yeast Foam to get fat. Mary Wertzberger simply loves the smell of ammonia. One day Mary Colchin gave her a surprise whiff and you should have seen Wootsie. Haven't you noticed how thin Naomi Faurote is? Well, she's reducing. Mary Colchin says, It vvon't be long now till We will all be hanging on the wall with the rest of the Seniors. Joseph Voglewede firmly believes that teachers ought to retire before they get too old. Mary Miller giggles all the time. She inhaled too much nitrous oxide Llaughing gash one day. Patsy Holthouse is the speediest typist in High School. At least We think so. When Catherine Schumaker laughs you can hear her all over the building. She's tickled all over. We all wondered why Frances Lengerich wasn't at school one day. We learned later that she was stuck in the snow with her Ford. Jimmie Fisher pronounced sponification spoonification one day and we all wondered what he Was talking about. Barbara Jane Keller takes a notion to get her hair cut once in a While. One day it's long and the next day short. Carl Lose, president of the Senior class and editor of The Tattler, doesn't overdo making people feel his authority, at any rate. Babe Schmitz is the Senior songbird. Whenever we hear singing We know from Whom the music emanates. Sir Walter Raleigh is Robert Kleinhenz's favorite smoke. Bob says Sir Walter is quite a pal.

L. ii - --.ig N, - JUNIOR CLASS THE TATTLER- JUNIOR CLASS HlSTORY September 3, 1931, found us waiting for our plane, The Spirit of Learning, to be pushed out of its hangar, so that we might begin the third lap of our flight over Bookland. While our plane was being put into readiness we chose as leaders: Julius Baker, president, Mary Ulman, vice-president, George Schultz, secretary, Agnes Wolpert, treasurerg Mary Jane Colchin, historian. All ready for the take-oi! Final instructions having been given, we rose from the ground and circled several times. Waving goodbye to all, we set our controls and steered for the Metropolis of the Business World. Many hours of practice in typing, shorthand, and bookkeeping were the only things that kept us from meeting with disaster. With supreme effort on our part and clever maneuvering on the part of our instructor, Sr. M. Helen Clare, we finally succeeded in flying over this busy section of Bookland. Our altitude was fairly good when we sighted the Land of English Literature. While flying over this interesting land we became acquainted with Shakespear, Scott, Burns, Tennyson, Dickens, and many other famous authors. With little difficulty we flew on, and soon the Land of English Literature was left far behind. Just ahead of us was seen the territory once ruled by the Romans. The land was littered with ruins of the buildings once occupied by people who spoke the Latin tongue. These ruins gave mute testimony of a high degree of culture and training. We flew over the places where Cicero delivered his orations against the Wicked Catiline. Although we found this place interesting we had no time to tarry. We had not gone far when we noticed in the distance a dense growth of trees. Our instructor told us that this was the Jungle of Social Prob- lems. When we were near enough to see how closely the trees and under- growth was interwoven, we understood how difficult it would be to try to find a path through this jungle. By the kind guidance of our leaders we flew safely over this awful place. Our leaders now told us that we still had to visit the Scenes of Ameri- can History. Upon these fields were fought the battles of many wars. The ground was disfigured with shell holes and lined with trenches and dug- outs. Some effort had been made to restore this land to a condition of prosperity, but there was still much to be done. Our tired leaders decided to land in June and to rest, so as to be ready for the last lap of our journey in our good ship, The Spirit of Learning. Thirty-two. -THE TATTLER JUNIOR CLASS NOTES The Junior Class bookkeepers seem to be the richest members of High School. Sister says that they are Working for S100 a month, but the pay days are few and far between. After each day's Latin class Jerome Miller draws a long breath and gasps Deo Gratiasf' He means it, too. Ambrose Spangler says, Give me a Camel instead of an assignment. The Junior girls make use of their Shorthand in outlining History. Why do they read their work so slowly? They write it fast enough. Millie Teeple seems to have a hypnotizing influence over Roman Lengerich. We can't understand. Julius Half-Pint Baker's ideal in life is a school without study. Such a naughty boy! Are there any more like him in the world? Mark Schurger seems to have inherited Leo Dowling's ability in merit- ing a place on the honor roll. We had a peaceful week in February. Mary Jane Colchin was so hoarse that she couldn't talk loud. Dolores Klepper says that if it didn't take so long to write her short- hand assignments her time for writing longhand wouldn't be so short. Eddie Hess wishes that historians had never been born. When a hard construction is found in Cicero Sister Vera calls on the girls. The boys' feelings must be hurt. Ed Wait and Shorty Gnau are the star penmen of the Junior class. Mary Ulman says that she just loves to type. Thirty-three. THE TATTLER- JUNIOR TOAST TO THE SENIORS Soon you will embark upon a journey long, Filled with devious ways both right and Wrong, One of these paths you will be forced to take, Here's a toast, parting friends, that a Wise choice you may make On Graduation Day with friends you will part, You may say farewell with an ache in your heart, You may face a future both stormy and bleak. But, kind schoolmates, may it take you to fortune's peak. In all your undertakings there will be a thorn, But, seniors, remember the ensign you have borne, And if the way becomes lonely and cold Remember the lessons learned under the Green and Gold. So here's a toast to you, Seniors of '32! When with this life's battles we are through, We'll gather at the feet of the Master, with nothing to rue. Seniors, a final farewell and a toast to you!

SOPHOMORE CLASS Thirty-sex en THE TATTLER- SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY p Having won all the battles of the Freshman year, twenty-four courage- ous Sophomore soldiers began their second season of warfare on September 8, 1931. In their knapsacks were paper and pens, while their books, their only means of defense, were Hung over their shoulders. On the following day a conflict was begun against the English. Al- though a few of the soldiers were injured, most of them emerged from the battlefield, victorious. When the valiant warriors were informed that they must go to the ancient world to fight its inhabitants, they immediately resolved to set sail for that place. However, two soldiers, Martha Colchin and Leo Faurote, decided not to undertake the voyage. When the Sophomores reached Rome, they decided to remain for some time so that they might learn the ways of the natives. But the Latinists rose in revolt, a battle resulted, and, as the American soldiers were the victors, they resumed their journey. When the warring Sophomores had reached their destination, they began to fight against the ancients with Sr. M. Benigna as general. For a third time our heroes carried away the honors, and they began their home- ward journey. When the soldiers had completed about half their journey, a heavy wind arose which carried their ship to a tiny island known as Geometry Isle. As the inhabitants of this place were a barbarous tribe of people, they forced the Americans to remain with them. But the brave Sopho- morts ignored the Geometricians and escaped. Those who remained, on learning of the deeds of their companions, hailed a passing vessel and reached the fair shores of America just in time to discuss the many social problems which had arisen. Now, after winning five great victories, the worn-out Sophomores are to receive a short rest, so that they may be more capable of conquering new subjects in 1932-33. Thirty-eight. -THE TATTLEP1 SOPHOMORE CLASS NOTES Rosy Rumschlag is going to be a great novelist. What the title of her first book Will be remains to be seen. We wonder where Red Lose got his curly hair. Well, tonsorial artists ought to be able to do anything with hair. Helen Barthel just got her p's and q's straightened out in Geometry Now she is getting her 1 S and s's mixed. Patsy Fullenkamp has just finished cleaning her play house. Just practicing up for the Future I suppose. Johnny Hain can't see why everything must be proved in Geometry. Johnny has too much confidence in his common sense. Dutch Baker must have a good reason for wanting to recite the first paragraph in History. We wonder how long Dorothy Miller's diet will last. Is she working for the light-weight championship? Bill Lose has been asked to label his jokes. We wonder what would happen if Marceline Gage came on time for Mass. Mary Wolpert can't keep those marriages in History straight. She always gets the wrong couples together. John Carroll and Joe Schultz are running a race for the play-baby championship. Dorothy Lengerich is looking forward to being a music teacher. Good luck to you, Dorothy. Bob Cook is the best speaker of the Sophomore class. Hearing is believing. Mary M. Keller is getting quite mysterious since she is living in the cemetery. 1 Tateri' Knapke has high hopes. He is looking forward to being president of the U. S. What would we do without Alvera Vian. She keeps us laughing all the time. Slow but Sure is John Kohne's motto. Bob Wolpert's bashfulness is vanishing since he is the president of the Sophomore class. Whether Florian Keller's gum gets tastier or his jaws get more ambiti- ous we don't know, but evidently either chugumology is a most interesting subject, or chugummia is a devastating disease. Mary Eyanson with a little more practice will soon be a hair dresser. Herbie Foos' ambition is to be the leading Voice in the Boys' Choir.

FRESHMAN CLASS THE TATTLER- FRESHMAN CLASS HISTORY The Freshman class of 1931-32 entered High School on September 8, 1931. They determined to fight the battle with their books until the subjects scheduled for the first year of high school were conquered. The class chose as its leaders the following: President ,......,....,.,,........................................ Wllllam Borns Vice-President ....,.. .,.......,.. J ames Lose Secretary ............. ........ C edric Colchin Treasurer .....,.,..,,.....................,...................... Robert Colchin Historian .........,.................................,........ Edward 'Wolpert On account of poor health one of the classmates, Mary Daniels, reluct- antly gave up the struggle after a few weeks. She had discontinued school for about three months when she died. Her death was mourned by all. We all hope and pray that the Blessed Virgin has woven for her a crown of unfading glory. Would that we might all be able to understand things as she now does! On account of the absence of Mary Daniels the office of class historian was left vacant. Therefore, the class later elected Edward Wolpert to the responsibilities ofthis office. As the class looks back over the year just past, it feels that on the whole it has passed very smoothly and quietly. A few jolts and jars, some ups and downs of school life, a record in which successes far outnumbered failures, a history of events that will, no doubt, be far-reaching in importance in the lives of those they have touchedg such is the resume of the year's work of this class. The Freshman class, as a whole, has successfully completed this year and will be ready to go on under the Hag of victory after a restful summer vacation. Forty-two. -THE TATTLER FRESHMAN CLASS NOTES On September 7th twenty-eight freshmen entered High School. The entire class was ready to enter the contest with their books until the subjects of the first year was mastered. The initiation of the freshmen took place at the first class meeting. It was enjoyed by the upper classmen, but the freshmen breathed a sigh of relief When it was a thing of the past. Dick Hess tried to tell us that some of the boys go to school to sleep. Such a calumny! Bob Colchin wishes all our games were with Celina. We wonder why? We wonder what's the matter with Guy Tester's alarm clock. We have six-weeks exams because- Ignorance is Bliss. Teacher. Horse back riding is a splendid exercise. Dick Hess. Yeh, for the horse. Would the end of the world come if Rosey Miller would stop blushing when she stands to recite? ' What in the wide world would the Freshman Class do if they didn't have Bill Borns to answer the hard questions and Jim Lose, Guy Tester, and Speck Hebble to give us some pep when everything seems to go wrong? Teacher. How do you know that George Washington lived? Dan. From books. Teacher. How do you know that they are true? Dan. I don't know. Teacher. Then how do you know that Washington lived? Dan. I don't know whether he lived. - What's wrong with Jim Lose? We wonder whether he d0esn't eat spinach as Popeye told him to or else he didn't study his Hygiene, for he came into the classroom Walking with crutches. The freshmen led throughout the year with the highest number on the honor roll. Now We are anxiously awaiting the summer parole. Forty-tl I f. Qt? 4. s VA.

HENNES With this issue of THE TATTLERH another milestone on the road of life is reached. Birth, school, graduation are the common landmarks in the pre-professional life of the overage man. Of these the graduation stone is in many cases the most memorable, for just beyond it lies the point at which all must leave the highway they have trodden with the carefree crowd of their contemporaries to pass into the jungle of life and cut their own trail. He is, indeed, rare who never casts regretful glances backward to the road that ends just beyond the graduation mile. Experienced men doubt whether ever before was the future of nations as well as individuals so closely shrouded in dark clouds presaging storm. As they look into the future there seems to be little light. In the Far East we know that an age is dying. In Russia we have an example of the aim- lessness of life lived to labor and to die. Questioning everything, accept- ing nothing, humanity moves on. How shall I live? How shall I make the most of my life and put it to the best use? How shall I become a man and do a man's work? This and not politics or trade or war or pleasure is the question that should be upper- most in the minds of the thousands of young men and women who will only too soon enter into this world of greed. Life is opportunity, and every circumstance of life may be made to serve the purpose of making oneself capable of doing thorough work. LET A MAN HAVE A PURPOSE IN LIFE. Let him resolve and labor to make of himself a good mechanic or merchant or farmer or lawyer or doctor or teacher. But iirst of all let him have the will and the courage to make of himself a true many otherwise, there will be no real worth in him. Our value is measured by the things we believe, know, love, and earnestly strive to accomplish. Bury thyself not with what should be corrected or abolished, but give thyself wholly to learning, loving, and diffusing what is fair and good. The spirit of the creator is more joyful and more potent than that of the critic or the reformer. GENUINE PROGRESS IS SPIRITUAL PROGRESS. The man is of greater value than the machine. Nietzsche held that it would be right and admirable to sacrifice all men actually existing if it would be possible thereby to give birth to a stronger species. This he said would be real progress. Let us rather listen to Matthew Arnold who declares that what- ever progress may be made in science, art, and literary culture, Christian- ity will still guide the destinies of man to nobler and higher ideals. I OPPORTUNITIES ARE EVER PRESENT. The followers- of the Divine Master best know that true men need not great opportunities. He Himself met with no occasion which may not be offered to anyone. His power and goodness are most manifest amidst the simplest and lowliest surroundings. To beggars, fishermen, and shepherds, He speaks words that resound throughout the ages and still awaken in myriads of hearts echoes from the higher heavens. The lesson He teaches by word and actions is that we should not wait for opportunity, but that the secrets of a true life lies in doing well the things the heavenly Father desires us to do.

O you may travel all around the great wide World, In hamlet or in town you'll find all kinds and sorts of schools. But some are little ones and others larger grown, But best of all the schools we love the one we call our own. II We love the dear old scenes that greet us day by day, The class rooms with their pleasant Walls, the grounds on which we play We love the contests and the games, that call for skill and might. We love our teachers, classmates, too, with cheery smiles and bright. CHORUS The dearest school of all the schools, the one vs7e call our own, The dearest friends of all our friends, the classmates we have known. Then herc's a hip and here's a hurrah, and here's a loud hurray, We'l1 make our school the very best of any school today. Fifty-eight. A I A . l ll I W iv I lu' 1 ' 5' . 4 ,.

A veteran of the game, Otis instilled into his matcs the confidence, experi- ence had taught him. Captain Lose, a Senior, has completed his course in sports at D. C. H. S. and fans will regret his absence. CHARLES CHILE OMLOR Chile has completed two years of varsity basketball with the Com- modores, very creditably. Playing in every game, the small but mighty guard won his share of games for his Alma Mater. Chile, as he is known to the whole school, is a worker and will be missed by D. C. H. S. ROBERT BOB KLEINHENZ Bob completed his varsity basketball career at center after playing guard for two years. He was an asset as offense, taking care of the difficult pivot position. Bob, together with Chile and Otis, has completed his varsity career and will graduate this spring. ALBERT JOHNNY HAIN A main cog in a well-oiled machine typifics Johnny who has played his second year on the squad at forward. Being a good shot Johnny pulled many a game out of the fire with spectacular baskets. Johnny has two more years, and with added experience should be a star. JEROME MIKE MILLER Jerome, who teamed up at forward with Johnny part of the time, is a Junior. His work at the forward position indicates that he should be one of the main threats on offense next year. A good shot, Jerome always played a steady game throughout the season. EDVVIN ED HEss . With a wonderful build and fine technique Ed is a valuable asset to the team and saw service at the forward position. Ed is a Junior and much can be expected from him next year. FLORIAN 'AoTHO KELLER Otho as he is known to the members of the squad is a Sophomore, and a promising forward. Otho has had several occasions to break into the limelight during the past season and show his caliber. HERBERT HHERBY' FOOS Herby, another Sophomore in the ranks of the Commodores, is ex- pected to do big things next year. With added experience, height, and speed, much can be expected from Herby next season. ROMAN RoMIE LENGERICH Romie, a Junior, played a great brand of basketball in the few games in which he participated. With added height next season Romie should hold down the center circle for the Commodores. WILLIAM BILL LOSE Bill is the small but deadly sharp-shooter of the Commodore team. Bill's basket eye pulled many a game out of the fire for his Alma Mater. Bill is a Sophomore and much is expected from him in the future. Sixty-two. -THE TATTLER RECORD OF GAMES D. C. H.

Due to the fact that this is the first time in several years that D. C. H. S. has had a girls' team there was some difficulty in securing games with other teams. However, two games each were scheduled with Pleasant Mills, Berne, Kirkland, and Hoagland. All these games proved exciting as well as interesting. The girls appreciate the efforts of Miss Teeple to turn out a winning team and wish her success in organizing future teams. Sixty-seven. THE TATTLEP1- V '11, f' -' .

Dink Mylott has done very noble Work with the second team, and has also produced valuable material. Both Coaches have rendered valuable assistance to Coach Laurent and to sports at D. C. H. S. We shall now take the liberty to pick the team for the next season based on their ability and showing this year. At forwards we place Hain and Bill Lose, at center Braden, and at guard Hess and Miller with Keller as a reserve forward, Lengerich as a reserve center and Foos as a reserve guard. This quintet will be fast and agressive with four men experienced in the brand of varsity basketball, and with the Hfth man, Braden, ex- perienced in two years of grade basketball, playing in two county tourna- ments, and four city title series. This team should be able to play and hold its own against the best of them with the capable reserves it has, Watch and See! ,It looks like a battle royal for positions on the team. After a successful season next year, the team loses again only three men, and will again be extremely fortunate in receiving material from the second and eighth grade teams. The most logical thing is to give the reasons for the choice of our next year's team. Here they are: In the games they played together Hain and B. Lose worked together very well and handled the ball effectively. They also produced the points. At center Braden, six feet and over, can jump well, and handle the difficult pivot position, and at all times is a scoring threat. He is also a very good ball handler, cool headed and knows the game. At guardsg Here we take the liberty of placing Miller and Hess, two former forwards, Hess played guard in a few games and showed up very well at this position. Miller is also a very capable defensive man. Their height, experience, and ability to take the ball off the backboard rates them as our two guards. Sixty-nine THE TATTLER D. C. H. S.

THE TATTLER At forward Coach Laurent has an abundance of material. He has five experienced men in Hain, Hess, Miller, Lose, and Keller. They have played regularly at the forward post and shown a lot of ability. At center he will have Lengerich, a Junior, and Braden from the eighth grade. Lengerich will have to acquire additional height, and speed to hold down this position for Braden is a corner. Braden, graduating to high school this spring, has played center on the eighth grade team for the past two seasons. He is a tall, lanky fellow with plenty of drive and scoring ability. With the added height, speed, and age he should acquire during the summer, we should say he's a sure bet for center. At guard we have the position's hardest hit with the loss of Ornlor and Lose. At this position we have Foos, Red Lose, and probably Baker, if scholastic difficulties do not interfere. The members of the second team and the eighth grade team should furnish very competent mate1'ial for these positions. As you have seen in this brief summary we have a world of valuable material in high school for the next season. If the players live up to expectation the first team next year should be composed of: Hain, Hess, Miller, B. Lose, Braden, Foos, Keller, Lengerich, with two berths open to the members of the second and eighth grade teams. ?.,..,..,.,.,..,.............,..,....,...,......,,........,......,..,..,.....,..,........,...........,..,.............,.....,..................+4-Q-4-....-...g? 1.-STYLE T szggigg T g 2.-QUALITY 3 3.-TAILORING 5 4.-PRICE L. 5 g THE 4 TESTS ALL OUR SUITS MUST PASS 5 Q HART SHAFFNER 82 MARX 2 Suits 8: topcoats have passed them all 100'iJ for spring I 3 May we show you a graduation outfit ' Holthouse Schulte 6: Co.

H. S. LADIES AND GENTLEMEN! As you have undoubtedly no- ticed this annual has been dedi- cated to the honorable George Washington. It seems only right that we say a few words about so great a man. History says that he was the great- est man of all times. Maybe some of you don't know who Washington is. Well here is a composition written by a'great authority on history. It ought to prove illuminating if not astound- ing or amusing. Washington was that immortal, unconquerable man whose great, indomitable courage prompted him tc- say, Buy a pound of our beans and get a. bean shooter free. Twelve Words, no more, no less, twelve memorable Words set the THE TATTLhP1 world popping. Everywhere, here, there, were beanshooters. Grand- ma Washington even had a bean- shooter. Representatives and Senators had bean-battles. Bean shooters began to shoot bean bags and dumb bells. As the beanshooter grew in popularity so did George Vvashing- ton. He became the cinder in the eyes of his countrymen, the gravy on their ties, the soup on their vest, the button on their collar, but above all he was the father of his country. Adam might have been the father of man and Eve might have been the mother of man but George Washington was the father of his country. That may be the reason why Washington has white hair.

And who are the 'Sober Soldiers of Siberia,'? you ask. . Well the Sober Soldiers of Si- beria is an organization organized by Dr. Jocko Dunkwell, the most noted sponge cake dunker in Si- beria, for the relief of the mother- in-lawless Wopple ducks. You will undoubtedly ask what a wopple-duck is. so before you confront me with inquiries I shall explain. A wopple-duck is a duck that has a three-legged mother. Did11't you ever see a duck that had a three- legged mother? Again, before you ask, I'll tell you what a three-legged mother is. A three-legged niotber of a. wopple- duck is an incubator that has lost a leg.
