Hermes, take this opportunity to express our sincere appreciation of his untiring devotion and services rendered to the Catholic youth of Decatur. His faithful participation in school activities, and his paternal solic- itude, have given us proof of his interest and zeal. During the four yea1's that he has labored among us, his aim has been to promote higher Catholic education. May his hopes be realized! May all of his undertakings be abund- antly blessed! . ...... 22222222 RECTO RY GRADE FACULTY . HELENE, C. S. A. . HENRITA, C. S. A. . DOMINICA, C. S. A. . CARISSA, C. S. A. . ANGELUS, C. S. A. .

' lf'1l1ll w'- , 1- '-, - '.' , SENIOR CLASS HISTORY 'Twas a day in Indian summer, When the sun shone brightly down On the stores, the streets, the churches On the schools throughout the town. Lo, it kissed some little children Scampering off to school, To learn to read, to write, to count, To observe the golden rule. ' Little children, rosy-cheeked, Happy-faced, and gay, Plunging right into the game That Life would have them play. They learned of men, of days gone by, Of other things quite newg They learned that best of all it was To grow up good and true. With every day that swiftly went And passed into the years, The children had their little joys And shed their childish tears. But all those days are mem'ries now, That are treasured with the yearsg Today we view the happy youths As graduation nears. And as they trudge the paths of Life, The roads, both low and high, They'll always look with happy hearts On schooldays long gone by. When into the woods He came. SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY I'm old and gray and feeble now, My eyes are growing dim, It warms my heart to live again My schooldays, long gone by. We were a merry, happy lot, The Class of '34, We've fared quite well, since we Last saw the old school door. The most successful, I believe, Is Tater Knapke, He ably runs the nation's wheels, He's President, you see. Mary Wolpert, tiny maid, She of the mighty brain, She kept on studying chemistry, She's teaching it in Maine. Why, yes, there was a Robert Cook, Loved to experiment And after years of IIOIIQSI toil He's found an element. Alma Gabel's working hard, For children of the poor, She runs an orphanage, I hear, Upon a Scottish moor. Rosemary Rumschlag struggled on At poetry and prose, She wrote for magazines and such, And she to fortune rose. Johnny Carroll doctors ills, He cures all leprosy, And from the depths of his big heart, Does all in charity. Patsy Fullenkamp became, A dancer of renown, She danced in England, I am told, Before the king and crown. I often listen in with joy, He comes on just at noon, When Herby Foos' deep bass voice, Lets out a merry tune. Out of the Woods my Master came, Content with death and shame Helen Barthel, blonde-haired girl, Went into business big, She owns a score of hardware stores And drives a handsome rig. Then there was a Johnny Kohne, A handsome fellow, he, He is that dark, romantic man, Whom on the screen you see. Dorothy Lengerich has become A missionary nun, She works in Mexico, I hear, I4 rom dawn till set of sun. Edward Lose, that red-haired lad, So gay and debonair, He operates a barber shop, And bobs your pretty hair. Mary Keller's dressing hair In sunny Tennessee, She has a mansion and a car, She earns a lot, you see. Joseph Schultz still quietly Does farm his fertile lands, And he has made a fortune large, By use of his .two hands. Now, let's see, oh, Marceline, I saw her just today, She is the wife of Willie Lose, They live near Hudson Bay. Robert Wolpert loved the wilds, He's down near the equator, He wrote his mother just last week, He'd shot an alligator. Gne day I found a catcher's net, I learned 'twas Dotty Miller's, She said she runs an insect shop, Mounts bugs and caterpillars. Mercy me, I can't forget, That merry Johnny Hain, He settled down in Canada, When he'd married Allie Vian. Yes, we've had days of pleasure, While other days looked blue, But we can say today with joy, We've all come smiling through. Out of the xx oods my Master went, And He was Well content CLASS WILL Know all men by these presents, that we, the honorable members of the Senior Class of Decatur Catholic High School, of the city of Deca- tur, in Adams County, in the state of Indiana, knowing that we are in as sane mind and memory as could be expected after our twelve years of ceaseless toil and unending rebuffsg Furthermore, realizing that we are about to depart from these restful abodes, we do hereby make this our last will and testament: First-We give and bequeath to our dearly beloved faculty our ever- lasting gratitude for their ceaseless toil in trying to infuse a little learning into our brains. Second-To those who come into our beautiful and quiet building for four years of rest we bequeath all our left-over chewing gum, erasers, and pieces of chalk. Third-We, the members of the Class of '34 do bequeath the follow- ing peculiarities patented and copyrighted: Dorothy Lengerich passes down her ability to translate Virgil to any struggling Latin student. Herman Knapke leaves his master key to Guy Tester. Mary Wolpert bestows her quiet, reserved ways upon Eloise Leonard. Mary Margaret Keller leaves her school girl complexion to Joe Tricker. Edward Lose leaves two flaming neckties, a well-pressed pair oi trousers, and a bottle of hair oil to Edward Ehinger. Johnny Hain's ability to shoot baskets goes to Bob Braden. Alvera Vian leaves her bashfulness to Loretta Rose Lose. Dorothy Miller bestows her merry little giggle upon Justine Spangler. Robert Cook leaves for points unknown. Alma Gabel leaves High School to live near Bryant. Helen Barthel leaves this book to futurity. Rosemary Rumschlag's exceptional ability to write poetry is passed on to Ruth Voglewede. Herb Foos bestows his eternal, not infernal, grin on Pat Murphy. John Carroll bequeaths a ton of Carroll's best coal to the High School. Joe Schultz leaves as quietly as he came. Marceline Gage leaves B-no, never! John Kohne leaves his bashfulness to his brother Jerome. Bob Wolpert leaves good study habits to William Borns. Bill Lose does not choose to leave schoolg it was too E-E-Easy. Patricia Fullenkamp bequeaths her dancing school to Marjorie Carroll. In witness thereof, we have set our hand and caused the seal of this senior class to be affixed. The Class of Nineteen Hundred Thirty-Four. When Death and Shame would woo Him last, D. C. H. S. SCHOOL SONG I. O you may travel all around this great, wide world, ln 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. II. 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. From under the tree they drew Him last: SENIOR CLASS SONG Melody: End of a Perfect Day I. When you come to the end of your High School days, And you glance back through the years, While the voices ring with a sound so gay, For the joy of the day that's yours. And you think what the end of the High School days Can mean to the graduates' hearts. Departing from school and their carefree days We as classmates have to part. I II. Now, this is the end of our High School days, And we are leaving our school, But we leave with a love that is ever strong, And a wish that is kind and trueg For rne1n'ry has painted these happy years With colors that never fade. And we say to our teachers and friends so dear, One last fond farewell to you. Twas on a tree they slew Him-last ROBERT COOK HERBERT FOOS VVILLIAM LOSE ROBERT WOLPERT SERVERS There is a group of noble youths of which Decatur Catholic High School is justly proud-its altar boys. For eleven years these young men have formed a Guard of Honor for Our Lord, Jesus Christ. To them is given a privilege of which even the angels are deprived-that of assist- ing at the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. Next to God's minister, the priest, these acolytes are the recipients of the greatest number of graces and blessings. These few lines serve as a rec- ognition of their service and a mark of esteem from the students of D. C. H Q .KJ- When out of the woods He came. A Ballad of Trees and the Master Sidney Lanier.

Oft' we longed for Friday eve, So that we might take some leave Of our books. And again on Monday morn We appeared here quite forlorn, As it looks. But We worked geometry, Till we thought that we could see Angles' sides, And we delved into our Latin, Had it down as smooth as satin, And besides: Studied history, then, too, Worked at English till we knew Most by heart, Silas Marner, poetry Shakespeare's dramas, don't you see Like a Chart. Two more years are left to spend In this schoolg oh, in the end May we say That we worked with all our might, That we tried to do what's right, Every day.

FRESHMAN CLASS HISTORY Oh, yes, our first year is overg We thank good fortune for that, For We shall no longer be victims Of others' satirical chat. g But we've had good times S regardless, We've learned of many new things, We've- studied our books with great vigor, From math to old Latin kings. Oh, We've shown those upper classmen How to lead the honor roll, And that is something, kind reader, For that was always our goal.

Experience in the publication of a yearbook teaches one to appreciate the effort it costs to make such a venture a success. Without the assistance of Sr. M. Vera, C. S. A., our staff advisor, the editorial section could not have ac- complished vvhat it has. The managerial division, under the direction of Sr. M. Helen Clare, C. S. A., has made THE TATTLER a success financially. We are gratified at the active in- terest displayed by the entire student body. We Wish to thank all who have cooperated with the Class of '34 in publishing this annual. And brought it away, and I have placed it in sight in my room, Kbkf? 6 Q ' - , .

C. H. S. with a membership of a- bout forty upper classmen. The purpose of the club is to develop a more general interest in dramatics and to acquire skill in stage perform- ances. Interest in dramatics has been growing, and as a result short plays were cleverly staged by the var- ious classes. By means of these productions, the members develop a taste for better drama, , .

C. H. S. was reorganized and held a social gathering on November 27, 1933. A banquet was served in the school dining room to the alumni and their guests, and old-time acquaint- ances were renewed. After the banquet the school song was sung by all present. Arthur Voglewede was toastmaster for the evening. Father Hennes gave a short talk in which he emphasized the necessity of the cooperation and support of the alumni in the sports of the school. Rev. Joseph Seimetz expressed his appreciation of the fact that the Alumni Association was making a new start and was thereby helping the priests in the parish and promoting Catholic Action. Our Holy Father has urged the graduates of Catholic schools to help their own community by promoting a genuine spirit of Catholic ideals and Catholic principles. He urged the graduates to eliminate personal feelings and to keep in mind the interests of the organization. Among the alumni and guests present were: Father Seimetz, Father Hennes, Arthur E. Voglewede. Al Schneider.

'Twas on a bleak November eve When we all got together. We talked of schooldays, jobs, and such, We talked about the weather. We roamed again familiar halls, And stairs we'd often travelledg To those we hadn't seen for years, Our lots gaily unravelled. That night we left with lagging steps Our loving Alma Materg Then each one vowed he'd ever be Her loyal son or daughter. Xxx xx XX .--f-if --1--Y... XKBCPU r. ,su v 3, .Qs W If 1' in , 117' Y .I C' .

GUY TESTER DONALD XVAIT DONALD XVAIT and CHARLES COOK Yell Lea-rlers Decatur Catholic High School's yell leaders, Don Wait and Charles Corky Cook, have worked hard to inake the base kethall games interesting and the fans en- tlnlsiastie.

The score at the half was 12-2. Commodores 23 Monroeville 20 The Green and Gold made it two victories by subduing the Monroeville Cubs at Monroeville. After a close first half, which ended in a 10-10 deadlock, the Commies pulled away to a 23-20 victory in the last quarter. Commodores 24 Kirkland 23 After leading at the half, 11-6, the Commodores eased up and were forced to play extra time to defeat a fighting Kirkland team. Lose and Baker featured with 6 and 5 points respectively. Commodores 15 Huntington 15 The Commies defeated their old rivals, St. Mary's of Huntington, by a count of 16-15. A basket by Bill Lose in the last seconds turned the tide of victory. Commodores 15 Berne 21 The Commies lost their first game to a fast Berne team by a count of 21-15. After trailing 10-7 at the half, the Commies threatened on sev- eral occasions, but couldn't stop the determined Bears. Commodores 17 Kirkland 19 D. C. H. S. lost their second game by virtue of a loss to Kirkland at Kirkland. The Commies led at the half 8-4, but were forced to watch their lead dwindle as Kirkland persistently hit the net. Commodores 19 Elmhurst 21 The Commodores dropned their third straight game to Elmhurst in a double overtime game. The lead changed hands many times during the game, with Elmhurst in possession when the gun sounded the end of the second overtime.

Commodores 24 Anderson 34 A smart, fast-passing Anderson team defeated the Commodores at Anderson. The game was close till the last few minutes, when Anderson pulled away to a 10-point advantage. H-A-R-D Blind Tourney A blind tourney was staged at Decatur on January 7. The teams competing were Huntington, Anderson, Richmond, and Decatur. The tourney was won by Huntington. after they had nosed out Anderson in the afternoon and defeated the Commodores in the evening game. The Commodores advanced to the finals by a win over Richmond in the after- 110011 game. Commodores 27 Huntington 26 The Commies gained sweet revenge by defeating the Huntington team a Week after they had captured the blind tourney. It was an exciting game, with the two teams both employing a fast break. Decatur trailed at the half, 11-12. Commodores 24 Delphos 22 The Commies won a close game from Delphos at Delphos by the score of 24 to 22. The Commodores could not get going, and only a last quart- er rally saved them from defeat. Commodores 18 Ossian 27 The tall, rangy Ossian team took a fighting team of Commodores ove1' the line in a fast, well-played game. The game was closer than the score indicates, Ossian pulling away in the last few minutes to a comfort- able margin of victory. Commodores 17 Jefferson 27 The Adams County Champions defeated the Commodores in a good game at Decatur. Handicapped by the loss of Braden and Murphy, the Commies fought gamely, but finally were defeated. Jefferson led at the half, 10-7. Commodores 22 Central Catholic 34 Displaying a woeful weakness at the foul line, the Commodores lost to their old rivals at Fort Wayne. The Commies missed 14 fouls out of14 attempts. The game was much closer than the score indicates. Commodores 35 New Haven 25 The Green and Gold took revenge for an earlier defeat by trouncing New Haven on the local floor.

The Commies led at the half 14-10, but Lancaster came back strong to win by a two-point margin. Commodores 23 Central Catholic 22 The high-light of the season was the defeat of C. C. by the Commies. After playing good ball the first half, the Commodores wilted, but man- aged to throw up a strong enough defense to protect their early lead. The Green led at the half 16-10. D. C. H. S. RESERVES The reserve squad enjoyed only a mediocre season. Lack of exper- ience, probably more than anything else, caused them to fall down in pinches and lose games that ought to have been won.

PROSPECTS The Commodores are exceptionally lucky in losing only five seniors from the first squad: Bill Lose, John Kohne, Bob Cook, Bob Wolpert, and Johnny Hain. Coach Laurent has from seven to ten experienced men from Which to choose his team for next year. Braden and Murphy will probably be the nucleus of this team. With them he has Don Hess, a speedy forward with a dead eye for the basket, and Dutch Baker, big left-handed for- ward. Jim Lose will in all probability be Murphy's mate at guard, with Braden jumping center. For reserve strength, Walter Baker, Bob Colchin, Dick Hess, Bud Hain and Eugene Daniels, will adequately fill the bill. Supporters of the Commodores are looking forward to a successful season next year. Here's wishing Coach Laurent and his players all the luck in the world. AYX N- I I m.m.X.... CAL... i!,r'f.,1.a The Girls of D. C. H. S. again organized a Girls' Basketball Team. At the beginning of the season they elected Marceline Gage captain and Rosemary Miller manager of the team. Through the untiring efforts of Miss Patricia Teeple and the co- operation of the members of the team, the team has succeeded in keeping a perfect record by winning every game in which it competed this season. Games were played with Alumni, Monmouth, and Kirkland. LADY COMMODORES o ri V 1934 BY HELEN BARTHEL EditorfinfChief 2 W I L L I A M L O S E Business Manager L 19, I L?

Huntington and Anderson played the first game, Huntington being winner in an overtime 21-20. In the next game, C. C. of Fort Wayne played Decatur. After trailing all the Way, the Commodores staged a thrilling rally to win by one point 21-20. Although defeated in the final game by Huntington 21-12, the Com- mies received an invitation to the Tourney at Chicago. NATIONAL CATHOLIC TOURNEY The Commodores failed to uphold the reputation earned by former quintets of D. C. H. S. The Green were defeated by a big team from Youngstown, Ohio. The Commodores put up a great scrap, but failed when size counted most. In the consolation round, the Commies again failed their supporters, and lost to Niagara Falls, N. Y. It was a close game throughout, but lacked the interest which is of paramount importance to a good game. The Tourney in general was a huge success. Several old time sup- porters of the Tourney say that possibly the strongest teams represented in the history of the meet were present this year. The Joliet five, pro- bably the strongest team present, won the Tourney. The Commies hope to have a good team next year, as practically all their material will be back. We sincerely hope that they make a good showing.

BUT before extending accommodation conservative banks desire a thorough acquaintance with the borrower. Such an acquaintance is best made through an account with the bank, whereby it becomes familiar with the business and financial habits of the future borrower.
