SENIOR HISTORY HIGH SCHOOL YEARS v A Four Act Drama. LEADING ACTORS: Sister Regina, Class Guardian, William Borns, President, Edward Ehinger, Vice-President, Richard Ulman, Treasurer Ruth Voglewede, Secretaryg Rosemary Miller, Historian. Motto: Upward Flower: White Rose The first act of our drama, High School Years, began with the en- trance of twenty-eight freshmen in 1931. Although we were inexperienced actors, we knew that to make our drama a success, we must conquer our studies during the first year: and conquer we did. As we look back over that fresh- man year, we think of the happy periods that were spent in laboring over Latin, English, algebra, and science. We especially think back with pleasure to the bell whose ring- ing, just as Sister called upon us to recite something we did not know, changed the scene opportunely and prevented many embarrassing mo- ments. A bit of tragedy entered our dra- ma during that first act with the death of one of our classmates- Mary Daniels. Mary was very dear to all of usg her death brought sor- row because we missed her friend- ship and help. Roman Brite and Agnes Gase also left us that year to enter religion. We are very proud of the fact that two of our classmates have given their lives to the service of God. After a short intermission, nine- teen actors resumed the play. Dur- ing the second act, more and more difficulties presented themselves. One of the greatest complications was geometryg but basketball vic- tories, Children of Mary programs. and student body meetings enliven-- ed the scene. Tragedy again entered the scene when our beloved pastor, Reverend J. A. Seimetz, was touched by the finger of death, In losing him, we lost a very dear friend and loving father. The second act had required much hard work, but when the curtain 21 Colors: Coral and Silver fell in June, we felt that our efforts had not been in vain. Our third act featured two unu- sual events in lighter vein. Eighteen eager actors participated in a suc- cessful class play, Aunt Billie from Texas, and a most enjoyable, first social venture-Junior-Senior Prom. Another new element was our ac- quaintance with Reverend J. J. Sei- metz, the new pastor, who came fu help us in our spiritual as well as our school life. During this act, eyes turned even more hopefully toward the goalg and minds began to plan seriously for the days that would follow the climax-graduation. In preparation, many chose to begin work which would prepare them for a business career. Our fourth and final act had be- gun. We were only sixteen actors to play the part of those dignified seniors, but we all agreed to make this last act the best. It was up to us to publish The Tattler this year. Early in October, Sister Rosemary appointed Rose- mary Miller editor-in-chief and James Lose business manager. With the cooperation of the entire class. we made the publication of the 1935 edition of The Tattler a pleasur- able and successful one. Clubs were organized, and sever- al parties were enjoyed. Events moved on toward the climax. For four years, we had looked forward to the presentation of our Senior Class Play, Commencement Play, Senior Prom, and finally grad- uation. All of these are now over, and our school life at Decatur Cath- olic High School is ended. But be- fore the final curtain, we give to our dear Alma Mater our heartfelt grat- itude and best wishes for the years to come,
