NONY civics, and music. The enrollment of Decatur Cath- olic High School has kept pace with its development also. From the thir- ty-five students in 1922, when the first senior class of five was gradu- ated, the number of students has grown to ninety-six with a senior class of sixteen this year. In 1920, the first basketball team was organized under the direction of Father Peters, assistant pastor. Since that time athletics has played a big part in the the life of Decatur Catholic High School. Today Deca- tur Catholic High School boasts baseball and track teams. The Com- modores, its basketball squad, have had many successful years, This team is considered one of the best in the state. The year 1925 saw the erection of a beautiful, well-equipped Cath- olic grade and high school in Deca- tur. This school is serving its pur- pose and is a monument to those who labored so hard to provide us with a Catholic education. At the beginning of our present school year, 1934-35, Sister Vera was taken from us. We were ex- tremely sorry to lose the splendid influence of her careful guidance and the inspiration she always in- stilled in our hearts. We wondered if school could ever seem the same again without her presence. However, Sister Rosemary, Sister Vera's capable successor, has prov- ed herself a true friend. She is loved by the entire student body, and she has spent much of her time helping us with the difficulties of school life. S i s t e r Rosemary has truly found a place in our hearts during this one short year. Our fondest hope is that she will be with us for many years to come. Decatur Cath- olic High School needs her. The present faculty of Decatur Catholic High School is composed of Reverend J. J. Seimetz, Reverend J. J, Hennes, Sister Rosemary, Sis- ter Regina, Sister Helen Clare, Sis- ter Agnes Terese, Sister Edwardine. Sister Gertrudis, and Sister Barb- ara. How can we express our grati- tude to these d e v ot e d teachers '? They have given their lives to help us grow spiritually and intellectual- ly. We are truly grateful for their interest, encouragement, and sacri- fice. Decatur Catholic High School has grown and is still growing, We are fortunate to have had the opportun- ity of attending a truly Catholic high school. May the ideals implant- ed in our hearts by a Catholic edu- cation long endure! I have labored, And with no little study. that my teaching And the strong course of my authority Might go one way.
