CLUB This Club was organized February 27, 1931, under the direction of Percival J. McTwink for the Protection of Authors, Inventors, Reds, Bol- sheviks, Communists, and Basketball Players from the Ravages of Small Town Crap Shooters. The club held its first mass meetings on the door steps of various houses. fThe ladies of said houses, thinking they were bums, gave them handouts.J Thus they amassed great quantities of food which they sold to the Red Cross. The money was then divided among themselves. iThere were -153 membersj With the proceeds they bought a carload of peanuts by the advice of their president, Percival J. McTwink. fContinued on Page 955 +04-ooo-4-oofoa z.: on 64 C OMPLIMEN TS 00000-00000 0 Q' I 3 0-000 Ecfwarcfs Siuclio H UTD GMSPH S . 3 g z'1zc'f7brever E Jo Ninety-three. 44-Q 0,5 oo+o+o+4-+-Q :Q vvooooo-Q-so-Q-0+ oo-990444-0999400040 : o4++o +0 9 oo-0-o++oo+oo++o04-see-o-o+0Q-0-vo+o4+-0 THE TATTLER fig' Twig! lf if!

He stated that said skins didn't make the peanuts taste better and that all they did was get stuck in your teeth. He claimed that to get the skins from between your teeth it was necessary to use toothpicks and the guy who cut the trees out of which toothpicks were made was a personal enemy of his. Now, McTwink reasoned, if I could prove to the public that the skins interfere with the enjoyment one gets from eating peanuts, why I can make the peanut growers grow peanuts without skinsg an act, which will affect the toothpick business and make my enemy, the guy who cuts the trees, suffer a cut in wages. So there in a nut-shell we find why McTwink bought the peanutsg public sentiment against peanut skins. McTwink hoped to sell the used peanut shells to the Alaskan Eskimos for reindeer fodder. But this plan fell through, because the Eskimos wrote back that they grew their own peanuts and had an oversupply of shells themselves. McTwink was in the holeg what could he do? The club was clamoring for money. He must do something. Aha! He had an idea. He went to town and bought a meat-grinder, two barrels of whitewash, and three gallons of glue, and home again he went. Then he began to work. He ground the peanut shells into pulp, added the glue and white- wash, packed the mixture into cans and sold it to the Russian Restaurant Guild as a Pancake Flour.

The plight of the coffee drinkers was taken before the Restaurant Association. Jeremiah originated a solution of the problem. When asked for a demonstration he arose, went calmly to the front of the room, picked up a coffee cup, placed a spoon in it and- what do you think he did? He bent the spoon-handle downwards until the handle touched the outer side of the cup. Nero, the outerguaid, comes next in line. He is a good dog. You can see that from the photo. Nero was first brought in as a mascot, but he has contributed his bit to the club. He has learned that if he lies per- fectly still when fieas attack him and does not fight back at them, they grow ashamed of themselves for taking advantage of such a poor dumb brute and soon vacate. Then comes Isaac Alexander Ludwig. He is the second vice-president. He was admitted in 1929 as the inventor of the Grapefruit Juice Indicator. This is an instrument which when placed on a grapefruit indicates in what direction the juice will squirt. Following the second vice-president comes Phineas Wellington Robin- son Crusoe Zachary Taylor, third vice-president. He is the inventor of galvanized hat bands, glass lead pencils and rubber socks. Now, we come to the fourth vice-president Czechoslavakia Gandolarupi Cavendeskevsi McIntosh. He is of mixed blood, being partly Czechoslava- kian, Romanian, Slav, Scotch, and Russian, but that is not all. He is an inventor, an author, and a Communist. McIntosh invented the Dunker's Delight. 640 99040-0000-990+-oo-oo fContinued on Page 1015 Ninety nine 19- THE TATTLER WV. H.

A. KLEPPER Having had the great privilege of knowing Father Seimetz for over eighteen years, I shall never forget my first visit to him, when I moved my family from Lafayette to Decatur. After a few moments of conversation with Father Seimetz, I realized that I had found a friend, one to whom I could come with sorrows and with joys, and who I knew would be a trust- worthy confidant. The average layman thinks that the priest and pastor's whole life is bound up with his religious duties. It is true that Father Seimetz realized the responsibility of his religious duties and .discharged them most faith- fully, and everyone who had the good fortune to come in contact with him appreciated that he was most happy in his chosen vocation. Aside from his sterling character as a priest, Father Seimetz was a delightful com- panion, and one with whom a person could discuss the everyday hap- penings of a work-a-day world. He possessed a rare knowledge of both the religious and the secular aspects of life. His wit was keen and his humor reminiscent of that of Abraham Lincoln's. Father Seimetz delighted in little friendly jests that never failed to arouse a quick, good-natured retort. It was my pleasure at one time several years ago to make a ten-day trip with Father Seimetz, to New York, Philadelphia, and Boston and some of the other larger cities of the East, and be with him daily in friendly comraderie. It was then that I learned to know Father Seimetz, the man, and daily his fine qualities aroused my admiration and respect, and I learned to know and to love him dearly. As we visited the different his- torical spots of the East, it was more than interesting to have Father Seimetz give choice bits of their history. When we visited the different cities, and Father met many of my friends and associates, he drew them to him, with his fine intelligence, his interest in their affairs, and his wholesome outlook on life. Many were the friends that he won on that trip, because of his fine priestly character and his genuine manhood. One of Father Seimetz's most endearing traits, was his love for the outdoors. I had the pleasure of accompanying him on several hunting, fishing, and motor trips. and words are rather inadequate to describe the pleasure that was mine in having Father tell of the wonders of nature, and to watch the keen joy that would light up his features as he stood in awe of some of God's own beautiful handiwork. His poetical manner in describing the beauties of nature, and his love of nature meant more to me than many sermons could have done. Listening to his discourse on his love for the woods, the streams, the animals of the field and forest. would easily bring to mind the great Saint of the outdoors, and the little feathered and furred creatures of God, St. Francis of Assisi. His enthu- siasm for the least of God's wonders, if any can be called least, recalled Coleridge's memorable lines: He prayeth best, who loveth best. All things both great and smallg For the dear God, who loveth us, He made and loveth all. I owe many of the blessings that I have to the fine counsel and friend- ship of our dear Father, who has passed on to his reward. Even now, though saddened by his withdrawal from this earth of ours, we all derive Qex e 19- T H I2 T A T T L E R -33 4-0000000-ooo-Q-0-of-+0004-Q-Q 04-Q-o oooo4ooo+o4++oo+4-oz.: State AUTOIIIOBTIC IIISUFZIIICG ASS,Il. 4 SEE US FOR SERVICE 2 Ralph E.

THE TATTLER THANKS ANY kind friends have helped to materialize our plans for this book, which is intended to be a lasting memorial and a token of gratitude to our revered former pastor, Reverend Julius A. Seimetz. We realize fully that We could not have built up this tribute to his memory Without the aid of our faithful friends and loyal supporters. To all who have encouraged us in this undertaking by the material or moral support, which they have unstintingly given, We wish to say from the deepest recesses of our hearts, WE THANK YOU.

It is extremely difficult to realize, that Father Seimetz, good friend, fine comrade, kind father, real sportsman, has left us, but greater than that, the memory of that beautiful life of his, lives on to gladden each and every one of us. MILESTONES Father Seimetz was born April 17, 1871, at Michigan City, the son of John and Mary Seimetz. He attended the parochial school and later St. Ambrose Academy, in that city. He entered St. Joseph's College, Rens- selaer, in September 1889 and was graduated from that institution in June 1894. He taught one year at St. Joseph's College and then entered St. Charles' Seminary, Carthagena, Ohio, where he took up the study of philosophy and theology, completing his studies for the priesthood at St. Francis Seminary, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, in 1901. On June 21, 1901, Father Seimetz was ordained a priest by the late Bishop Alerding. He said his First Holy Mass at Michigan City on June 30, 1901. His first appointment was that of assistant to the Rev. Father Henry Meisner at Peru. On June 30, 1905, he was appointed pastor of St. Joseph's Catholic church, Reynolds, Indiana, with missions at Medaryville and Francisville. ln April 1907 he was appointed superintendent of the boys' orphanage at Lafayette, a position which he held until coming to Decatur on January 9, 1914. In July 1922, Father Seimetz and Rev. Father Charles Thiele, pastor of St. Peter's church, Fort Wayne, made a trip to Europe. They spent about three months in Europe and while there visited the Holy Land and many other places of interest. While in Rome, Father Seimetz and Father Thiele had the privilege of an audience with His Holiness Pope Pius XI at the Vatican. INTEREST IN CATHOLIC EDUCATION Rev. J. A. Seimetz dreamed of some day having a Catholic High School, and his dream was bound to materialize. In the spring of 1919, Father Seimetz worked out a plan of procedure, which was inaugurated during the fall term of the same year. The high school department was a reality and bound to succeed. Parishioners in general, the student body of the infant organization, and its faculty, all worked hand in hand with the pastor, under whose guidance continuous progress was made. As time went on and the number of students increased, Father Seimetz felt the need of larger and more convenient classroom facilities. His keen insight into affairs and his sincerity of purpose were reflected in the con- gregation, and in a few years the groundwork was laid towards the build- ing of a new school. In 1922 actual steps were taken, donations and con- tributions secured, ground purchased, plans made, which ultimately re- sulted in the present modern 5B300,000.00 grade and high school building Eight. ffrf..

Two hundred and seventy pupils were enrolled in the Catholic school when Father Seimetz assumed the local pastorate. This number has now grown to four hundred and eighteen, and the teaching staff has increased from seven to fourteen Sisters of St. Agnes. Not only was an adequate building provided for the children entrusted to his fatherly care, but pro- vision was also made that their work be recognized by higher institutions of learning. As soon as the complete four-year high school course became a reality, affiliation with the Catholic University of America was sought and obtained. Later the entire school from grades one to twelve received a commission from the State Board of Education in Indiana. Father Seimetz loved to spend some time every day with his children. The students of the high school department looked forward to the Religion class, for Father Seimetz was the beloved instructor. He has earned the grateful regard of the boys and girls of the school by his whole-hearted eiorts to improve the records of the school in the spiritual field. Due to his encouragement and example, many boys and girls have embraced the religious life, one of the most splendid tributes to his zeal. In connection with these comments on Father Seimetz's enthusiasm for Catholic education, it must be mentioned that the school was built at a sacrifice of personal inclination on the part of our deceased pastor. His priestly zeal prompted him to build a much-needed churchg nevertheless, he yielded his own cherished plans to the more pressing demands for a new school for the children entrusted to his keeping. ST. JOSEPH'S CEMETERY Father Seimetz was laid to rest among the people he loved and for whom he worked indefatigably. His final resting place on this earth is Saint Joseph's cemetery, a place which he himself landscaped and beauti- fied during many years of labor. A number of years ago Father Seimetz outlined the plan for the work that was to be done. It was not unusual to see the former pastor in the cemetery, directing the work and also lending a helping hand to the work. Much of the artistic cement work represents his personal manual labor. The old driveways were improved and widened and many new ones were built. A workable water system was installed, and a beautiful pool was made from a former lagoon. The pool was enlarged and a concrete bottom was constructed. The walls were made from the stones which Father Seimetz gathered during a number of years. A statue of Saint Joseph and the Child Jesus was erected at the south end of the pool. Father Seimetz also made a beautiful chalice out of cement and small stones and this was placed in the pool. The pool is situated in the center of the cemetery. An artistic foot bridge was built across the pool so that it might not be necessary to walk around it in order to get to the other side. At the east end of the cemetery is a large crucifix. Rev. Theodore Wilken a former pastor, and Rev. J. A. Seimetz, rest beneath the shadow and protection of Our Lord. Nine. 19- THE TATTLER -33 The last gift of one of the parishioners to the cemetery, a beautiful bronze cruciiixion group raised upon a permanent altar, was a source of justifiable pride and joy to Father Seimetz. He felt that he was not alone in his interest for the beautification of the cemetery, but that his loyal parishioners appreciated his efforts and were striving to emulate his ex- ample. During Father's sojourn in Decatur, St. Joseph's cemetery took on a new appearance, and became a beautiful and peaceful resting place for the dead. For generations it will stand as a monument to the zeal and earnest work of Father Seimetz for his parishioners. ZEAL IN THE SERVICE OF HIS MASTER Father Seimetz had a great love for the Blessed Sacrament. It was he who instituted the weekly half-hour of adoration, the source of many graces to the parish. Among his many eloquent sermons, the most note- worthy were those pertaining to the Blessed Sacrament. His admonitions to attend the period of adoration will long ring in the ears of his listeners, so earnest was the appeal, so evident his anxiety that none of the souls entrusted to his care might forfeit the blessings that attendance would bring. Can anyone forget the note of grief in his voice when a scant attendance prompted him to say, Are there not ten who have received blessings from the Tabernacle? Where are the other nine ? He also saw the necessity of having a new tabernacle inserted in the main altar, consequently, in 1927 a beautiful repository for the Sacred Species replaced the old tabernacle, which had been in the altar since the church was built. When the Eucharistic Congress was held in Chicago in June 1926, he wrote a very beautiful hymn for the occasion. EUCHARISTIC HYMN 1 To all the world we would proclaim A truth by some denied, That in the host God is the same Who once on Calvery died. Refrain: To me it is the living bread, My hope, my strength, my stay. ,., Why shall I fear, why shall I dread The probe of judgment day? 2 My flesh is meat, My blood is drink. Words spoken God, by Thee Are quite enough to make us think They can not other be. 3 Hail Thee, O God, Who then dost dwell In all Thy might and power. A lonely Victim in Thy cell To bless us every hour. Ten. 19- THE TATTLER -33 This hymn is sung at St. Peter's church, Fort Wayne, Indiana, as well as at our own parish church. May it long ring in the ears of the parishion- ers as a forceful reminder of the living faith that filled the heart of their erstwhile pastor! It is unnecessary to dwell at length upon, the zeal for souls that per- meated every fiber of the priestly heart of our quondam pastor. The poem that follows has been written to perpetuate the memory of that virtue. LORD GIVE ME SOULS Lord, do Thou give me souls to save! 'Twas thus our sainted Father prayedg For this his precious life he gaveg Naught else on earth he craved. We know the story of his noble strife, The record of his deeds so bravely done, The ardent zeal, that was his life. For souls redeemed by God's own Son. What person hid the soul he sought, He neither asked nor caredg His search was oft with hardship fraught With souls at stake, himself he never sparcd. His faith like to a magnet strong, His charity, a burning fire, Drew souls to sing the celestial song, Accompanied by angels' lyre. E'en when his life was well-nigh spentg Lord, one more soul do Thou give me! His thoughts upon his Maker's honor bent. Else take me home Thy face to see! And when life's breath was ebbing fast, When heaven nearer was than earthg Still his great heart to the last. Felt keenly what a soul is worth. God heard the prayer so often breathed And gave our Father souls for heaven, We know that now he has received The bliss to faithful servants given. Lord give me souls, is still his plea, With an eagerness now sanctified. Oh, cannot we his allies be And bring to God the souls for whom he sighed? Eleven. 19- THE TATTLER -33 THE FINAL STRUGGLE Once a stalwart figure, years of unceasing and unselfish service to his flock, augmented by various cares of a financial or business nature, began to make inroads on Father Seimetz's health. Perceiving that his physical powers were impaired he took a leave of absence, November 1, 1927 and spent eight months in recuperating at the Bishop's cottage, near Fort Wayne. His thoughts were always with his parishioners and on June 1, 1928, he was back among the people whom he loved and for whose spiritual welfare he felt responsible. From that time on, Father was not altogether the same. He was as energetic and interested as ever, but it was evident that he labored under a strain. On February 28, 1932, Father suffered a slight stroke of pa- ralysis. For weeks he lay maimed, but still maintained that indomitable spirit and splendid manner which distinguishes real gentlemen of the cloth in wanting to carry on and complete their mission in this life, that of sav- ing souls for Christ. He labored in spite of his illness until late in the fall when he suffered a relapse. Uremic poisoning set in and Father became seriously ill. His splendid physique crumbled and the death Angel seemed to hover over him. With every mental faculty intact, Father Seimetz realized that the shell of mortal man would soon have to abide by the will of His Maker. On Wednesday, December 28, 1932, God knocked at the sacred soul of Father Seimetz and demanded his passage into eternity. Our beloved pastor obeyed, not reluctantly nor grudgingly, but gladly. During the last month of his sojourn among us he often spoke to his intimate friends of the great journey from which no man returns. His conversation on the subject was ever cheerful, and gave evidence of a longing to be with his Maker. Born, reared, and educated in the Catholic faith and dedicated to its service, Father Seimetz anticipated the Well done, thou good and faithful servant which we know greeted him upon eternal shores.

Due to poor health, he was forced to resign his position after several years of service. Saint Edward's Church at Lowell, Indiana, claims the honor of having hini as pastor at present. Rev. O. Peters ably lilled the vacant position for almost six years. He is now pastor of Saint Mary's Church at Ambia, Indiana. Rev. T. Fettig succeeded Father Peters. He is now pastor of Saint Rose's Church at Monroeville, Indiana. Father J. Hession's first appointment after his ordination was to fulfil! the duties of assistant pastor in this parish. He is now located at Saint Joseph's Church at Gary, Indiana. Rev. J. J. Hennes came to this city in 1930. He has been a great asset to the parish and we hope that his stay with us will be a lengthy one. Thirteen.

SEIMETZ OUR NEW PASTOR A month of sorrow was experienced by every member of Saint Maryis parish after the death of our dearly beloved pas- tor. During this period of grief, the Right Reverend Bishop Noll appointed the Reverend J. J. Seimetz to fill the vacancy. Father Seimetz is a nephew of the deceased pastor and was formerly pastor of Saint Patrick's Church at Chesterton. Like a flash, Father Seimetz made life a different picture. chasing the blues away with his hearty laugh and pleasing personality. Within a few days he had won a host of friends. We are happy to have him' as our spiritual guide and feel that his presence is a blessing in every respect. Ninetee THE TATTL1iR REVEREND J. J. HENNES God blessed Saint Mary's parish three years ago when Father Hennes came to labor among the parishioners. To make mention of his success in Decatur as the pastor's assist- ant, citizen, and athletic leader is unnecessary. Every person in Decatur knows and loves this man, for he has become a prominent figure in the vicinity. He has gained more than prominence, by devoting his time to instructing the children of the school in their holy religion. S Twenty THE TATTLER FACULTY REV. J. J.

Every student under their guidance in temporal and spiritual affairs is the object of their undivided attention, their whole- hearted support, their indefatigable efforts. Their modest home is a home of reverenceg for in it dwell Christ's chosen spouses. An atmosphere of serenity envelops the visitor upon entering this abode of quiet happiness. So peaceful is this home, and so congenial are its inmates, that even the casual onlooker catches a glimpse of an earthly heaven. This happy little family is composed of fifteen Sisters of Saint Agnes. Each Sister performs her respective duties in perfect contentment and thus hopes to please the Master to whose service she has 'dedicated her life.

The last lap of the journey began on September 5, 1932, with Julius Baker as the leader. His assistants were: Mary Ulman, vice-president, Dorothy LaFontaine, secretary, Agnes Wol- pert, treasurer, Mary Jane Colchin, class historian. When their plane was ready and they had received final instructions from their advisor, Sr. M. Vera, they set off for the Realms of Chemistry. Much time, hard study, and careful performance of experiments kept the class from crashing while delving in this interesting subject. Many other places had to be visited, so the class moved on to con- tinue the exploration of the Metropolis of the Business World. Since some of them had spent a year, others, a semester, in this fascinating place, they left it with more knowledge, accuracy, and speed in bookkeeping, shorthand, and typewriting. Just as they were progressing nicely, a very sad event happened. Their kind, fatherly pastor, Rev. J. A. Seimetz, died. His passing left many of the class conscious of a heart wound which time and work alone can heal. Knowing of his fond hopes they resolved to work much harder so as to fulfill his wishes. With this resolve in mind they continued their journey to investigate the source of government in the United States. The work of the different divisions of government impressed upon the minds of the class how Well this country is governed. Knowing how laws are made and enforced in the United States made the class want to know more about their wonderful country. So they steered to the Home of American Literature. Here Mr. Long enlightened the class in regard to the most noted American writers. He explained their works and outlined a method of study, which the class received with en- thusiasm. One more place, the Field of General Science, claimed their attention. Here many things were explained to which they had never paid any atten- tion before. Feeling exhausted and filled with high hopes and expectation of greater things in the future, they returned home and left their plane, the Spirit of Learning , prepared to embark upon the ship called Real Life .

It bore the postmark Decatur, Indiana . The first words I gazed upon when I took the letter from the envelope was the signature, Julius Baker . It contained an invitation to attend a reunion of the Senior Class of 1933 to be held in Decatur on August 26, 1958. I gladly accepted the invitation. On my journey from Chicago to Decatur I met a few of our classmates. We had an enjoyable time on the bus, since there were only two other passengers besides myself and my three classmates. The party was held at Memorial Park. Every member of the class of '33 was present. Toward the end of the evening we all circled round a little pond that is in the park and told of our experiences. Each mem- ber was asked to tell what kind of work he had undertaken. To our amaze- ment we learned the following: Julius Baker had roamed the Seven Seas and visited in nearly all the countries. Mary Jane Colchin had become a renowned artist. She has a position with a firm in Canada. Dorothy Heimann has been teaching Physical Training in the High School Division at Terre Haute. Edwin Hess is a member of the All-American football team. Dolores Klepper is teaching a kindergarten class in a Chicago school. Annette Lengerich is married to a multi-millionaire. She spends the summer in New York City and the winter at Palm Beach. Roman Lengerich has graduated from the Ross Medical College and is practicing medicine in California. Mary Kathryn Leonard, Lucille Miller, and Mary Ulman have formed a trio and broadcast twice every week over the National Broadcasting Station. Jerome Miller is editor of the Funnies in the Chicago Herald and Examiner. Margaret Rumschlag is the head stenographer at the Berne Cheese Factory. George Schultz is operating a large ranch in the West. Mark Schurger is a renowned politician. He intends to run for the gubernatorial office in Indiana at the next election. ,, Ambrose Spangler is chauffeur for the President of the United States. Mildred Teeple writes the beauty help hints for the Physical Culture Magazine. Edward Wait is an acrobatic performer for the Hagenbeckin' Wallus Circus Corporation of Peru. Agnes Wolpert is a secretary to Father Coughlin. I Now, what more could anyone want for the members of any one c ass ? Thirty-six. 2 19- THE TATTLER -33 SENIOR CLASS NOTES ' Everybody wonders why George Schultz wanted his Seat changed from the back to the front of the room. Lucille Miller seems to be quite worried about what happened to her on the 8th of last April. It's a wonder Ambrose Spangler doesn't get his tongue twisted when he recites English. He talks so fast we can't even keep up with him in thought. Ed Hess seems to make a practice of coming late to chemistry class. Sr. M. Benigna seems to like Ed Wait since she found out that he is an electrician. If you know any big words you don't know the meaning of just ask Mary Jane Colchin. Mark Schurger doesn't seem to mind taking Shorthand II with the girls. If Agnes Wolpert had a kiddie car she wouldn't have to walk so far to school. Ask anyone in the Baker family from whom Julius got a Christmas card. Dorothy Heimann says she is going to make up the lessons she missed or die. We wonder whether she would? You'd think Jerome Miller rivalled Mark Twain if you read his Eng- lish papers. Dorothy LaFontaine needn't worry about going Over the Hill to the Poor Farm during this depression. Roman Lengerich seems quite lost since Sister changed his seat in chemistry class. We wonder why? When you want to know an equation in Chemistry, just ask Mugs Rumschlag. If she doesn't know it nobody else does. The Seniors sure would enjoy taking a ride in Annette Lengerich's Ford. Wish we had a chauffeur like Millie Teeple has. He drives a Ford roadster, too. Mary Ulman knows her Shorthand. Just try her out in longhand. Dolores Klepper and George Schultz were late for school the other noon and when Sister asked them why, they said they had to wash dishes. Just good practice. The House of Seven Gables especially Hepzibah Pyncheon seemed to be of great interest to Mary K. Leonard. Is there any affinity?

Let's bid each other adieu, Alma Mater, we hear you call Calling us back to you. Chorus Thirty-eight. Meet pass. r THE TATTLER GIFTS T0 THE GRADUATES Here's George who's ever late, Clt seems that he is doomed by fateb To you we'll give a kiddy-kar That you may travel near and far. In Chemistry who is the star? Why Annette Lengerich is by far. To prove your friends are strong and true, A tester we will give to you. And Mary Kay with golden curls, Who is a friend of boys and girlsg To help you write the deeds of men, We give to you a fountain pen. To Dolores, then, so bright and gay, That you may chase all cares away, We give to you a brush and broom, And hope that George may be the groom. Oh! there's Agnes Wolpert too 3 A typewriter we'll send to you, With it we hope you ne'er will tire, But turn out copy by the quire. To Margaret, Dorothy, and Pee-Wee , A filing case we give you three, A help to keep your records neat, When e'er your day's work is complete. There's Jerome Miller, another star, Who comes from Dirkes Street in his carg To him we'll give a case of pills, And hope he'll cure all human ills. Little Lucille Miller kind and sweet You might be small but your voice isn't weak So to you we grant a dictionary To add to your forceful vocabulary. On handsome Ambrose We bestow a saxaphone As you have been a quiet boy We hope with this you'll make some noise. Thirty-n THE TATTLER To Mary Ulman, a witty lass, As thru this life you gaily pass, That you may never lonely be, A book of jokes we'll give to thee. To tiny Dorothy, a Winsome lass, We will donate a looking glass, And may no frown e'er find a place To rest upon your smiling face. Next is our Roman so tall and fair With big blue eyes and curly hair, We'll give to you a violin, And hope that you great fame will win. Mark, you shy, timid, Senior boy, Who never cared for the least little toy, But always preferred a quiet nook, To you we'll give a great big book. Oh, Millie, our friend so true! We wish much happiness to you, And that your nose may never shine, We give to you this compact fine. To Mary Jane, our artist friend, A palette and a brush we'll send, And may your talents bring you fame, And happiness, with Hess' name. To Edward, brave, a soldier boy, The drum we give Ctis but a toyl A symbol of your chosen way, Your friends applaud this choice today. What takes the eye of all the girls? Why nothing else than Edwin's curls! A set of combs to you we'll give To keep your hair curled while you live. Who is the shiek of Senior A ? 'Tis Julie Baker, I've heard them say, He worked hard to make The Tattler a success And now we give to him a pillowed rest. Forty. 3 19 T H E T A T T L li R 33 Julius Baker, Je-rome Miller OUR SERVERS Julius Baker and Jerome Miller have faithfully fulfilled their duties as servers. Eleven years have elapsed since we gazed upon two small tots eager to become assistants to God's ministers. At many a Mass we find our classmates kneeling before the Sacred Tabernacle. The Senior Class is more than proud of their splendid record.

C. H. S. SCHOOL SONG O you may travel all around this great, wide world, In hamlet or in town you'll find all kinds and sorts of schools. And some are little ones and others larger grown, But best of all the schools we love the one we call our own. We love the dear old scenes that greet us day by day The class rooms with their pleasant walls, and 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 we call our own, The dearest friends of all our friends, the classmates we have known, Then here's a hip and here's a 'rah and here's a loud hurray, We'll make our school the very best of any school today.

Juxlous 19- THE TATTLER -33 JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY September found all of last year's Sophomores back to get in contact with their books at dear old D. C. H. S. for another year. We felt a little more important this year and entitled to look down on the lower classes, because we were Juniors. The hardest two years were past, but the two more important years were facing us. We were prepar- ing for our biggest year, our Senior year, and also for the cares of later life. All but three members of the class decided to take the commercial courses offered while several had enthusiasm and energy enough to take both the regular and the commercial courses. Loretta Malley and Mrs. N eering joined the class in bookkeeping and we greatly appreciated their company. The first two weeks were spent in getting books and settling down to business. Then the big job of electing officers for the year faced us. The results of this enterprise are to be seen on another page. On Sunday, January 29, 1933, we had the one big opportunity of our Junior year and from all indications we made good. We presented the first Junior Class play given in D. C. H. S. It was a mystery-drama in three acts. Each actor took his part in great style and it went over big. We are proud of our ability and we hope to present just as good a play, if not a better one, in our Senior year. We also presented various playlets at the different student meetings. We also are proud of our sports showing in this class. We have seven boys on the basketball squads and one assistant-student manager. Their names and faces are to be seen in the athletic section. Several of the girls play on the girls' varsity squad. The Junior-Senior reception during the final week of this scholastic year crowned our efforts as Juniors. After that we were ready to prepare for next year's siege, as we hope to make it a bigger and better year than we have ever had. We hope you will be back at that time to read of our accomplishments. Until that time we say, Adieu . FOl'ty-Sl! 19- THE TATTLER -33 JUNIOR CLASS NOTES We wonder why Johnny Hain and Bill Lose are so much in love that they are inseparable? Helen Barthel seems to be quite interested in the town of Van Wert. Whatis up? John Carroll's Auburn is often seen on Madison Street. What's the big attraction? Rosemary Rumschlag doesn't seem to realize that grandmas aren't what they used to be. It seems Tate Knapke wouldn't mind playing Professor again. Red Lose is becoming quite a typist. He will soon be able to type ten words a minute. We haven't seen Mary Wolpert and the Senior boy friend together for quite a stretch. One night on North Seventh Street ought to be quite memorable to Herbie Foos, says B. Rumschlag. We type what we think. That's what Marceline Gage did in typing when she typed huny for hunt , lt won't be long until we see t'Dot Miller stepping out into the alley to finish the fight she started with Johnnie-boy. If Bob Cook continues his speed in connnercial subjects he may have a chance to become President Roosevelt's stenographer. Everyone seems to think D Lengerich would be able to crash into the society columns of New York if she had half a chance. Pat Fullenkamp says she just loves red curly hair. Better watch out, she'll be dyeing her's next. Does everyone agree that John Kohne is the handsomest boy in the Junior Class? Bob Wolpert blames his typing mistakes on the typewriter. Bob doesn't seem to realize that many mistakes are caused by the guy behind the machine. 1 Mary Margaret Keller is still the bashful, little girl of the Junior C ass. Joe Schultzis dainty voice is still a matter of discussion. He keeps the teachers guessing whether he's reciting his lesson or talking to a Wise man. Alvera Vian is still wondering whether Eve comes during the day. Mrs. N eering, the part-time member of our class, is progressing won- derfully in her bookkeeping. Luck to you, Mrs. Neering!

SOPHOMORES 19- THE TATTLER -33 SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY On September 5, 1932, nineteen Sophomores embarked on the class ship for another lap of their journey across the stormy sea of education. At roll call we learned that: Roman Brite is attending the Josephinum Seminary at Columbus, Ohio. Agnes Gase joined the Sisters of St. Agnes, and Lucille Lengerich joined the Sisters of the Holy Cross. The new school session had hardly opened when the class of '35 set out upon the broad sea of English in the good ship Sophomore under the leadership of Sr. M. Regina. This ship was manned by nineteen strong- hearted pupils. The course taken first passed through the narrow winding straits of Review English . Leaving this strait, we came upon the Island of Paragraphing , where we remained for several weeks. On the first few days of our visit, the sky was dark and cloudy. Finally it cleared up, so we set sail and ultimately reached England. Here we were intro- duced to Silas Marner , and also visited the scenes immortalized in Ivanhoe . When the Sophomores reached Rome, they decided to remain for some time to learn the language and customs of the Latins. A battle resulted, but our capable leader, Sr. M. Vera, guided us to victory, and we resumed our journey. Our ship now arrived at Geometry Bay under the command of Sr. M. Regina. The bay is shaped like an arc and the coast line consists of triangles, parallelograms, and many species of angles. When we arrived the bay was stormy, but it soon became smoother. Then we met Sr. M. Benigna, the commander of our ship, who was to take us through the Land of History . She introduced us to the Ori- entals, Greeks, and Romans. Although their customs were interesting, we breathed a sigh of relief when we could forget them. The Diet of Worms proved exciting but no Sophomore seems to be using this method to reduce. Our ship then sailed to England where we became acquainted with the customs and history of the English. After more traveling we grew tired of foreign countries and returned to America. For the Children of Mary meeting in October, the Sophomore boys presented a clever playlet, No Peddlars Wanted , directed by William Borns. At a meeting of the Student Association the Sophomore girls gave a clever playlet, Two Aunts and a Photo , in which two aunts, Madonna Ripberger and Justine Spangler, had each chosen a different husband for their niece, Ruth Voglewedeg but the aunts compromise at the suggestion of their niece's school chum, Rosemary Miller. The Sophomores are anxiously awaiting and eagerly planning their summer vacations. Fifty. 19- THE TATTEEP1 -33 SOPHOMORE CLASS NOTES Speck Hebble must be a privileged character. He usually gets in the front row for all the classes. Dick Ulman thinks it would have been easy for Cromwell to step into King Charles' shoes, if his feet weren't too big. Bob Colchin is recovering from his disappointment in Decatur, so he is going to Celina again. Never say die. Guy Tester's chief ambition is to get the highest mark in Geometry. He probably wants to teach it some day. The cat must have Al Rumschlag's tongue, for we never see him talk during class. Francis Shell must be a boot-black. His shoes are always shined. Hurrah! Jim Lose broke the reducing record. He claims to have lost three pounds in one week. How did you do it, Jimmy? CThis from the girls.J Ed Wolpert and Julian Parent must be delicate. They both suffered ill-effects from physical training. Ced Colchin and Dick Hess can't understand how a Ford could cross the Rhone River during Caesar's Gallic Wars, but Sister says, Truth is stranger than fiction . Since Bill Borns discovered that he is Ruth Voglewede's second cousin he is rather disappointed. We can't blame him, can we? Madonna Ripberger is getting plump. She must not be observing the Diet of Worms . Dutch Baker must be studying. He got two or three hundreds in history. Ed Schultz has the most beautiful curly hair. Where did you get the permanent, Ed? Justine Spangler has the Monday Blues on Thursday. The reason is that she stays out late on Wednesday night. F dWilbur Lengerich looks like a millionaire's son riding around in his or . Posey Miller studies Geometry so hard that she dreams of angles, chords and corkscrews in her sleep. The Freshman that jumps into Al Rumschlag's shoes next year will have a snap. Al's got big feet. We all wonder where Julian Parent gets all his pennies? Fifty-one. THE TATTLEP1 FRESHMAN CLASS ORGANIZATION President ......... Vice-President .... Secretary ....,. Treasurer ...... .

FllE'SHMEX 19- THE TATTLER -33 FRESHMAN CLASS HISTORY Oh! I wonder what this big car is standing here for? , cried one of the crowd of boys and girls who stood waiting for the doors of D. C. H. S. to open on the morning of September 6, 1932. Just then one of the instructors, Sr. M. Regina, happened to pass by and asked whether we wanted to take a trip into the Land of Knowl- edge in this big car. We all shouted Yes , and immediately began to climb into the car. Then our guardian told us that if we wanted to make this trip a success we ought to have leaders. So we elected those whose names you have seen on another page. After we had received final instructions we started on our journey with Margaret Wertzberger at the steering wheel. The first place of interest was Healthful Living Town. Here we met people who lived and worked under all the rules of health. This sight alone proved to us that it pays to obey the rules of health. Leaving this clean, fresh, and delightful place behind us, we began to climb Algebra Hill. Deep concentration, undivided attention, and constant perseverance were the only things that helped us to climb this steep hill. Our work was rewarded when we coasted down the opposite side. In the valley was the City of Commercial Law. The place was popu- lated with law-abiding citizens, all trying to make the city more progres- sive. These citizens impressed upon us that the only way to progress is to make and enforce good laws. English Forest next claimed our attention. Here we met many promi- nent and noted authors and made friends with a few of them. We were delighted with the masterpieces of some of them and drank deep draughts of learning at this place. Several miles farther on we came upon the Roman Forum. We were delighted with the city, which was built by Romulusand Remus, and the tales which the Romans told us. Nine months of hard work left us feeling the need of a rest, so we returned home for a three months' vacation with just one-fourth of our journey over. Fifty-four. 19- THE TATTLER -33 FRESHMAN CLASS NOTES Margaret Wertzberger believes in the old proverb, An ounce of pre- vention is worth a pound of cure , for she's always eating cough drops whether she needs them or not. We all wonder where Helen Heiman got her curly hair. Emmy Bob Keller's favorite subject is algebra, Whereas, Paul Mur- phy's is English. Jack Holthouse gets a big kick out of horseback riding, especially when he teaches a certain Freshman girl. Elmo Faurote sits in the back of the roomg he claims he gets a good view. Dolores Leonard is the brightest girl in the room. If you don't believe it, look at her hair. Helen Gillig and Mildred Rumschlag are the most talkative Freshman girlsg that is, When there's no one else around. Ext1'a! Extra! Bob Braden made 992i in religion. Show us how, Bob. Mildred Miller's erudition became so weighty that she had to call crutches to her aid. Who wou1dn't, when she can't walk Without them? We Wonder how Don Wait would look in a size eighteen suit! About half the Freshman class had cold feet on February ninth and stayed at home to warm them, at least, they weren't in school. Bill has more Coffee than any other Freshman. Marjorie Carroll keeps Warm with Carroll's Coke. Jerome Kohne is the most industrious Freshman. Leo Miller's nickname is Lightning . Can you guess why? The hardest task Mary Schultz had this year was to collect 50 cents from the class. She ought to have a diploma for succeeding. Fifty-five 19- THE TATTLER -33 .

His absence through graduation will be felt by the team. EDWIN ED HESS Eddie, another veteran of the game, will be a loss to his teammates through graduation. His place as forward on the team will not be so easy to fill by the younger members of the team. ALBERT JOHNNY HAIN The small but mighty Albert who plays the forward position with Bill Lose, works as a main cog of the team. The fact that Johnny is a Junior promises his followers many an enjoyable hour next year. ' WILLIAM BILL LOSE Bill, another Junior on the team, has played in many of the games and proved himself a competent player. He has another year at D. C. H. S., and fans expect much from him next season. ' ROBERT BOB BRADEN Bob, a Freshman at D. C. H. S., gained entrance into almost all the games, because his size supplied a tall center. Bob played a great brand of basketball at jumping center and also handled the pivot position skill- full f. 5 DONALD DON HESS Another Freshie on the Commodore team, Don, proved himself a smart, cool basketball player. A little more experience will make him one of the main threats on offense next season. PAUL PAT MURPHY Pat playing at the guard position proved himself an asset to the team. A little more experience for all of the Freshmen will make this yearis Freshmen a future team worth having. HAROLD DUTCH BAKER Dutch, who is a Sophomore, played with the second team and in a few varsity games proved helpful. Since he has two more years before graduation, he will have plenty of opportunity to prove his ability. JAMES JIM LOSE Jim, also a member of the varsity club, had several occasions to break into the limelight during the past season. The fact that he is only a Sophomore, augurs well for the future of the team. HERBERT HERBIE FOOS Herbie has been playing guard on the Commodore reserve team during the past season. His strength and ability will be a great help to Green and Gold next season. EDWARD RED LOSE Red, who is a Junior in D. C. H. S., has displayed some fine points in basket shooting during the past season. His well-developed sense of landing the ball in the basket promises well for a future team. WALTER FAT BAKER Walter, another Freshie, a member of the reserve squad, will lend his manly size and strength to the interests of the team for three more years.

Father Julius Seimetz, Marcellus Miller, form- er Student Manager, was called upon to assist Rev. J. J. Hennes in his duties as athletic director. He fulfill- ed his duties very faithfully and much credit is due him for the success of the team, both in the way of achieve- ment and Hnancial enterprise. We take this means of thanking him for his painstaking and willing service. Sixty- two. GEORGE LAURENT Coach George Shorty', Laurent has been the efficient coach of the Commodores for the past six seasons. Shorty by his ability and interest in athletics has succeeded in turning out some wonderful teams during his term of service. In all probability Shorty will again act in the capacity of coach during the coming season. MARCELLUS MILLER 19- THE TATTBLER -33 JULIUS BAKER Student Manager Julius Baker. the capable student manager, handled his position with ability. His whole-hearted interest and co-operation could be depended upon on every occasion. Julius is a seniorg consequently, we can hardly expect him to be with us next year. He will be greatly missed in school activities as student inanagfer. HERMAN KNAPKE Sixty-three. JULIUS BAKER HERMAN KNAPKE Student 1IHllilfJ.'9l' Hernian Knapke, assistant student manager during the past season, prov- ed a great help as assistant student manager when Julius was absent or unable to be on the job. Since he is Ll junior we are quite sure that he will hold the position of student inan- gager next year. He has proved his ability to fill the place by his disinter- ested service in the interests of the team. 19- THE TATTLER -33 JOHN SCHURGER GUY TESTER Yell Leader Guy Tester, a SODllS1'1l01'S, was again chosen by the student body to act as Cheer Leader. Fans enjoyed his an- tics. If he does not become too digni- Hed as a Junior we may enjoy him again. DONALD WAIT Sixty-four. JOHN SCHURGER Yell Leader John Schurger, a graduate of the class of 1930, kindly consented to in- struct the Cheer Leaders chosen by the student body. He worked with them the entire sports seison and we wish to take this means of thanking him for his labors. GUY TESTER DONALD WAIT Yell Leader Donald Wa.it, a freshman, was unani- mously chosen by the Student Asso- ciation to fill the position of Cheer Leader left vacant by Red Lose. Don displayed some real leadership, and we are looking forward to have him with us next year. 19- THE TATTEER -33 HEIGHTS OF SEASON'S PLAY D. C. H. S. 26: JEFFERSON 31.

The Commodores were successful in winning a game from Delphos on December 16. The Decatur team lead at the half 6-4, and again as the final gun sounded 19-17.

S. 113 NEW HAVEN 30. The Commodores accepted another defeat at New Haven from the Bull Dogs. The game was a fight from start to finish but the Decatur team had tough luck scoring and could not get under way in the game. DECATUR 21: DELPHOS 31. Decatur was upset by the St. John's Delphos quintet in a fast, well- played game on January 20th. The score was tied at the half 12-12. Sixty-five. 19- THE TATTLER -33 DECATUR 26g FORT WAYNE 29. The Commodores gave their old rivals from Fort Wayne a great battle but were nosed out in the closing seconds of the game 29-26. The game was flast and provided great excitement and much entertainment for the crow . ' D. C. H. S. 165 MONROEVILLE 22. The Monroeville Cubs invaded the Commodores gym and defeated the Decatur quintet 22-16. The Commodores promised to rally in the second half but fell short. The score at the intermission had Monroeville out in front 14-4. DECATUR 27g LANCASTER 24. The Commodores ended their long losing streak by trouncing the Lancaster team 27-24.

The Commodores ended the season on their own floor in a rough, defen- sive battle. Their opponents, C. C. H. S. of Fort Wayne, were the victors and held the winning end of a 29-25 score. STATE CATHOLIC TOURNAMENT February 24-25, 1933 DECATUR 15, C. C. H. S. FORT WAYNE 30. The Commodores lost their chance for the State Championship by bowing in defeat to their old rivals, Central Catholic of Fort Wayne. They played the opening game of the State Catholic Basketball Tournament held at Indianapolis on February 24 and 25, 1933. After fighting two tough battles during the season and losing by a narrow margin, they dropped the game at the tournament by a score of 30-15. Thus ended the basketball season of 1932-33, a record of many defeats and a few victories: yet we shall not call the season an unsuccessful one. There were fewer ineligibilities for dficiencies in scholarship this season than was the case in previous years. After all, success or failure in a basketball game is largely a matter of being pitted against a stronger or a weaker teamg whereas, success or failure in scholastic standing is a matter of personal ability, enthusiasm, and perseverance. Au revoir until we meet for the 1933-34 season. Who will be with us then? LEADING SCORERS OF THE COMMODORES Player Games Played Total Points Player Games Played Total Points P.

Through the efforts of Miss Patricia Teeple several teams were organized. At the first practice the girls elected Mary Catherine Leonard as the captain of the first team. Marceline Gage was elected as student manager. Marceline Gage scheduled two games each with Hoagland and Mon- Htiuth. Only single games could be secured with Kirkland and Pleasant 1 s. With the help and advice of Miss Teeple and the co-operation of the girls, the team was able to purchase new suits for the first team players. These suits are made of green and gold material. The blouses are gold, trimmed in green, and the trunks are green trimmed in gold. The season closed with a tournament between the Senior girls and the underclassmen. The senior girls won the first game of the series of three games and lost the following two games. This looks bad for the present senior girls but speaks mighty well for the coming team. The underclassmen who played against the senior team included the following girls: Mildred Miller, Rosemary Miller, Mary Margaret Klepper, Madonna Ripberger, Ruth Vogelewede, Margaret Wertzberger, Eloise Leonard, Dolores Leonard, Julia Parent and Marjorie Carroll.

THE TATT'LIiR Zin jllilemuriam ln the death of Dr. Frank W. Lose, athletics at D. C. H. S. lost one of its most enthusiastic supporters. He was president of the athletic association for the past three years, and in that capacity he served the cause to the best of his ability. Nothing that could be said by others about his character would be a more fitting eulogy than the words he himself wrote on the last day of December 1932: Thus ends a disastrous year. Its fondest hopes blasted: its worst fears realized. Yet hope spring eternally in the human breast. So today we renew our hopes: we banish our fears, and we look to the future with courage and confidence. A drooping chin seldom wins, but a stout heart, a brave soul is victorious even in defeat. His Christian spirit is manifest in the following prayer that emanated from his own heart and was written by his own hand, but read by few save his Maker. It is a more fitting memorial than any monument of stone or brass ever built by human hand: Oh God! Give me the will to desire, the ability to do, the strength to achieve. Help me to realize that my work is useless and in vain without Thy divine aid. Crown my efforts with success: but if it be Thy will that I fail, help me to take defeat in a true Christian spirit: realizing that Thy will must be done in all things, for Thy greater honor and glory forever and ever. Amen. ZS Sixty-nine. THE TATTLER SCENE OF ATHLETIC CONTESTS S r jj A Q I , :Fi-A , I X ff jf I -1,02 l 4 35,5-.K 'L Tj , L 1 -...t-fi 3 -L-S., , :fp x'I3 '. - f X -T ' iff' , 'NPT ' .'

The school children attended a Requiem High Mass at 7:30 for Rev. J. A. Seimetz. They were asked to attend this Mass instead of the funeral Mass, because of the crowds who would attend the latter.

Ten years seems short when one thinks of the span of a lifetime, and yet that ten years has wrought many changes in the lives of the first graduates of D. C. H. S., the class of '23. Decatur seems to hold an allure for the members of the first class, for four out of the five have stayed on in Decatur. It makes one think of that famous slogan, Four Out of Every Five Have It. Several years ago Miss Charlotte Niblick moved to Chicago, and at the present time Charlotte is employed as supervisor for the Bell Telephone Company of Chicago. Charlotte has evidently lived up to her qualities of leadership, for she would not be contented with anything short of a super- vision job. Andrew Appleman is associated with his father in the grocery business. Andy is married and has three children. However, Andy is not too busy to take an active interest in the doings of his Alma Mater and is still a real basketball fan. Aloysius Schneider for years has been employed by the local General Electric Plant. All the hours he used to put in in the old Chemistry Lab came in good stead, for Snitz is credited with some clever mechanical improvements at the local plant. At the present time Snitz is inactive, due to the shutdown of the local plant. Miss Irene Holthouse for several years was employed in the offices of the Waring Glove Company of this city, as secretary to Mr. L. C. Waring, and held that position until the dissolution of the firm at Mr. Waring's death. At the present time, Irene is trying her hand at the culinary art, and the family reports great success. Miss Margaret Mylott has surely proved her faith in the dairy industry of the country, for she has stayed on at the Cloverleaf Creameries, Inc. For several years Margaret has been acting as secretary to Mr. W. A. Klepper, vice-president and general manager of the local company. She believes intensely in the future of that industry. Class of 1924 On June 3, 1924, three young ladies received diplomas from Decatur Catholic High School. They had worked twelve years to earn these cer- tificates of proficiency and, armed with the knowledge the good Sisters had imparted to them, they faced life. For nine years they have been walking the pathway of life, taking for- tune or misfortune as it comes their way, and so far they have come out on top. Each day brings new problems to try their mettle, but, with their class motto always in mind, they are continuously struggling to attain a higher goal. One of the girls, Marie Foos, has changed her name to that of Mrs. York and is engaged in the duties of motherhood. The other two, Anna Baker and Anna Dowling. are following the careers they chose at the close of their high school period: the former is occupied in the nursing professiong the latter has responded to the call of journalism.

S. was still in its infancy, the well-named Bachelor Class ended its regime. Six boys constituted this class. Reminiscing over those school days, the writer was reminded of many incidents and traits which stood out prominently. Bob Voglewede, our elongated basketball center, had to straddle his seat, his knees were so high, Gerald Mylott and Hugh Holthouse competed with each other in snoring duels during English and Latin, Earl Christen, so determined he was right on a certain subject, readily used his mighty left in defenseg Fritz Schulte would tackle his weight in Wildcats, but had to use a tele- scope to see the blackboardg Shorty Laurent, small in stature but con- trary as the tallest, tackled anything his larger classmates would. Eventually, three of these boys have seen fit to uphold their traditional name of Bachelor , whereas, the other three saw fit to go Benedict Class of 1926 Since our graduation in 1926, many of our class have pursued their studies in various colleges and universities. To Marquette University went Cedric Voglewede and Theodore Knapke. We are proud to say that Cedric received his A. B. degree there in 1931 and was awarded a scholarship, which permitted him to return and study for his Master's degree. He is now associated with his father in the shoe business. William Holthouse studied medicine at Loyola for two years. He now assists his father at the Elks' home. Eugene Durkin attended Notre Dame and then entered the insurance business. He divides his time between the latter and sign- paintingg he is also, we hear, quite an addict of bridge. Art Voglewede went to Notre Dame and two years later to Georgetown to study law. He graduated in 1932, and, pending his entry into law, he travels for his father in the interest of the National 5 and 10c Stores. Donald Gage has been employed at the General Electric Company for the past six years. Four of the six girl members decided they had a leaning toward the nursing profession. Ida Baker, Alice Clark, and Anne Murtaugh all entered St. Vincent's Hospital at Indianapolis and graduated from that institution. Ida is now following her profession at Indianapolis. Alice is at home with her mother. Anne had to give up her work as a nurse because of illness, but is now fully recovered and will probably be able to resume her former work in the fall. Bernardine Christine attended St. Mary's College, Notre Dame, for one year and then studied nursing at St. Mary's Hospital, Rochester, Minn. She is enjoying California's balmy climate, being located at Pacific Grove, on Monterey Bay. Seven years of faithful service in the Schurger Abstract Office is the splendid record of Anna Nesswald, the baby of our class. Helen Holthouse is employed in the credit department of Schafer's Wholesale Hardware since her graduation in 1930 from St. Mary's College, Notre Dame, Indiana, where she also taught for a short time. Class of 1927 If anyone in the class of '27 has ever had a desire to see his or her name printed in the headlines of a newspaper, just write to Richard Miller and he'll see what he can do about it. Dick is editor of the Southwest Wave newspaper of Los Angeles, California, and he writes that nothing would please him more than to be able to print something in his paper about his old classmates. We may be able to give you that pleasure some day, Dick, but at present Eighty-tive. THE TATTLER . E Q ' I f .,. . 1.

Francis Wertzberger is working for his father at the Wertzberger Con- fectionery. Bud sure knows how to hand out the dope. Tom Dowling hasn't given up the hope of being a great chemist some day, but in the meantime is busy helping his father on the farm. Raymond Miller, formerly employed by the Bell Grocery, is at present unemployed. Fred Connell is employed by the Cloverleaf Creameries, Inc., at Fort Wayne. Fred is married and has one little girl. Mrs. Othmer Smith, formerly Ann Colchin, and Mrs. Carl Klepper, for- merly Rose Marie Smith, are quite accomplished housewives, and inci- dentally very proud mothers. Ann has one little girl and Rose Marie has two little girls. Miss Margaret Bremerkamp and Miss Mary Harris are still eligible young maids. Margaret at present is employed as secretary for a firm of lawyers at Dayton, Ohio. Mary is bookkeeper at the Fisher Sz Harris Grocery in this city. Class of 1928 Alma Mater looks out upon the world and wonders what has become of the class which left her portals on June 10, 1928, and stepped into a world almost at the peak of prosperity. Predictions were in our favor and oppor- tunities were not left unheeded, but, great as they were, they did not last. Today, 1933, only three have definite futures. Mrs. Luzern Urich fHelen Schmitzl and Mrs. Dale Koos Clsabel Nep- tune? have taken on the role of parenthood. Elmer Sorg has accepted a position in a large department store in Cleveland. John Dowling, who aspired to the medical profession at Indiana University, was last heard of as residing in western Indiana. Margaret Voglewede has completed her college studies at Mount St. Joseph, Cincinnati. Winifred Arnold spent several years at the College of St. Marys of the Woods and is now in New Castle, Indiana. Surely our Alma Mater can never overlook the great efforts put forth by her former students. For all our deeds, good or evil, will reflect upon her to some extent. Time has not changed our love for her. But, wait, we have passed up two-Fred Foos and Severin Schurger are still in Deca- tur, keeping busy while they hope for something to happen. We feel that their watchful waiting will not be in vain. Time passes on and one class after another is graduated, but, taking everything into consideration, the Class of 1928 still remains the pride of Alma Mater-Decatur Catholic High School. Class of 1929 Four years ago the class of '29 left dear old D. C. H. S. and started out on its voyage through life. Up to now, each one of the class has chosen to remain his own captain, drifting from one post to another, meeting new acquaintances, acquiring new habits, each experience affording its own peculiar measure of joy or sorrow. As the members of this class steer their life boats about, they learnfrom day to day to a somewhat fuller extent the meaning of the old saying, It's all in a lifetime. This class numbered three boys and eight girls. The boys, Carl Kohne, Arthur Miller, and Robert Rumschlag, have been busy within the confines of the home town.

Octavia, both having joined the Sisters of St. Agnes: Dolores Omlor, Margaret Eiting, and Mary Vir- ginia Hyland have taken up nursing as a careerg Agnes Baker, Elsie Brun- negraf, and Patricia Teeple have spent most of their time in the commer- cial world. Class of 1930 Viola Schmitz, Edith Lengerich and Helen Finan have entered nurses' training at Indianapolis and Fort Wayne. Mary Fisher is working at Fisher 8: Harris' store, so is George Harris. Helen Voglewede is Working at Voglewede's Shoe Store and in her spare time attends the Indiana Uni- versity Extension in Fort Wayne. Rosemary Holthouse works part time at the County Auditor's Oiiice. Margaret Schumacker is working at the Cloverleaf Creamery. One of the members of our class, John Schmitt, has joined the Brothers of Holy Cross at Notre Dame, and is now at South Bend. Bernard Wemhof and Fred Mylott are attending Detroit Univer- sity. Leo Schultz, Lawrence Beckmeyer and John Schurger are assistants to their dads on the farm. George Foos and Gerald Gage are also at home waiting for the end of the depression. Class of 1931 Two years ago the ninth and largest class of graduates of D. C. H. S. crossed the threshold of their Alma Mater curious as to what Fate might be holding in store for them. At present, some have chosen their path in life and, we are glad to say, they are progressing in the walks they have chosen. Others are temporarily employed pending the selection of their vocations. We are proud to claim as former classmates Sister M. Julianna iMary Kohnel and Sister M. Christine CEdna Schultzj, who have joined the Sisters of St. Agnes. Two are following the medical profession: Teresa Baker, in nurses' train- ing at St. Joseph's Hospital, South Bend, and Leo Dowling, working for an M. D. degree at Indiana U. Flothilda Harris and Richard Wertzberger have been busy since gradua- tion working in their dads' stores. Several of the girls lill stenographical positions: Margaret Vian was employed at the State House during a recent session of Legislature. Mary Helen Lose has been steadily progressing and now holds the position of clerk-stenographer to the adjutant-general at the State House at Indian- apolis. Rose Marie Schurger also has been fortunate in being employed, and is still at her work at the Treasurer's oHfice at the Court House.
