Singles? The new social event at Decatur Central was the Singles Only club. This club was sponsored by new Home Economics teacher, Miss Nannette Patrick. The club was originally for Juniors and Seniors only, but Miss Patrick said it would later include Freshmen and Sophomores. The Singles Only club was started for the benefit of the students, both guys and girls; they all planned different activities and events in which they wanted to par- ticipate. Some activities which they had were, for example, the cookie sale. The club got together and baked cookies to sell as their fund raiser. Another activity which they planned was a trip to Union Sta- tion. Miss Patrick was excited about the future of the club when she commented, I ' m fired up to have a social club where students can plan their own activities and learn something in the process: It ' s a great time! Smiling at her results, Freshman, Ruth Ann Olson stirs her soup. Each group had its own kitchen for the cooking classes. Demonstrating, Mrs. Rose teaches Stacey Williams the correct technique in sewing the seam of her quilt. Singles Only Row 1 — Beth Patterson, Karen Adams. Rebecca Alexander.

Classes differ on higher level The Foreign Language depart- nent moved upstairs for the first ime. Another change included tew French teacher Karl Nowling eaching first year French. Foreign .anguages proved to be more dif- icult as students moved on to ligher levels. Third year French is nore difficult because third and fourth year French are together. We work mainly on conversational skills, said Junior Vicki Horrell. Some selected students took a first-year foreign language in eighth grade at the Junior High. I feel lucky to be in 3rd year because not many sophomores can be, said Sophomore Jeanie Reagan. Latin classes were also more dif- ficult in the later years. Third and fourth year are about the same on- ly we do a different poet each year, said Senior Gary Farney. The Latin Club was also one of the most active clubs. They had meetings, gave parties, and went bowling. «r- AT l 4T « A M Model UN Row 1 — Michelle Petty, Tracy Brent, Denise Strapes, Dee Anna Potter.
