There are many publication classes offered at Decatur which included the newspaper, yearbook, and D.C. mag- azine. All have been improving greatly over the years. The school newspaper, better known as the Outlook, sent many staff mem- bers to I.U. for a two-week camp which helped them in writing and page de- signing. Terry Obermeyer said, The quality of our publication has improved greatly. One big reason for this is the new Macintosh computers. They made Growing Stronger! my job as business manager easier and the ads more professional looking. The Hawkeye, which is the school yearbook, had many big problems to overcome, according to editor J ' Lynn Mayes. The staff was very young and inexperienced, but with lots of help from me and other returning staff members, the year went very well. D.C. Magazine is a show produced by students from the high school. This year it was shown in both itie North district and Decatur Township for the first time. Many of the north district students said that was nice to finally get to see one of the shows.

Venimus Vidimus Vicimus Slave Auctions, Chariot Races and More A foreign language was studied by many students at D.C. These languages also had clubs which students could join. One of these was the Latin Club. The Latin Club consisted of students who were enrolled in Latin and wanted to explore a little more past school hours. The purpose of the club is camaraderie and fun, giving students an opportunity to enjoy themselves safely, stated spon- sor Nancy Wilson. The club enjoyed many fun activities such as holiday outings and fundraisers. A traditional slave auction was held each year. New members entered the club as slaves. A date was set for the auction and the slaves were presented to the returning members or masters. Each slave was given a task such as singing a song or acting like a dog. From these performances, the masters judged and bid for the slaves of their choice. The slaves went for anywhere from 504 to $20. The money raised from this activity went to the treasury. Once the slaves had masters, every command had to be obeyed. Other activities included a Christmas party with ice skating at Union Station, chariot racing at the Indy Motor Speed- way, a bowling party and a trip to Kings Island. The officers of the Latin Club were President Matt Stanfield, Vice President Danny Reynolds, Secretary Alison Rob- bins, and Treasurer Preeti Saini. Our officers have dedicated themselves tol making this a great year, commentedj President Matt Stanfield. All and all, Latin! Club was showing how they were| conquering D.C. and rising above the| rest. Students in a second-year Spanish class take a test. New vocabulary words and verb tenses were taught during the year. A piiiata hangs in Mrs. Susan Leonard ' s room. Piriatas could be constructed as a part of the second-year Sponish doss project.
