This year the Class of '71 faced the anxiously awaited event - their last year ofhigh school. They selected midnight blue and silver as their class colors, the honeysuckle as their class flower, their mottog Hands that work, brains that think, hearts that love. Mr. Foreman had the pleasure of being selected as their sponsor. Looking back on their past ll years at DHS, they find the memories of all the fun they've had, the friends they've made, and also, the friends they've had to say good-bye to. Re- gardless of the bad times that can't be erased, we still have the enjoyable things to re- member. A Donnie Cook and Patsy Knox were chosen as Senior Class favorites. At the beginning of their Freshman year 11967-685, they had 36 Freshman present and accounted for. Down through the years, their class has dwindled and lost many of the classmates that were once an important part of their group. Twenty-three students now characterize the Senior Class of 1971.

As there isn't enough time in each school day to in- clude a period exclusively for band, they have to meet during a different period each day. This means extra work for the students in the band in the classes they miss as well as their band work.

This year's Senior High Football Team started off with a bang this season beating Elkins, Colcord, and Mountainburg. They just didn't seem to come out ahead in some other games even though they played superb football. The team played hard and hustled all year and we are very proud of our team and coach!! The team developed some fine players this year with all the seniors, juniors, and most of the sopho- mores on the main team. Decatur will have most of it's team back again next year and will surely have another fine team. We owe a lot of credit to the seniors who were the team leaders and gave the team alot of spirit. We will hate to see them go this year.

THE BULLDOGS DE VELOPED BLUE PRIDE The Decatur High School Bulldogs were all pride this year. The boys played a few games away from home to start the 1970-71 season off. This was good be- cause it gave the Boys time enough to get used to the gym. The opening night in the new gym was a real thiller, but the Bulldogs came up a little short as Cedar- ville took home a 47 -43 victory. By the time the Homecoming came around the Boys were rolling right along and to prove it they won the game with a 81-40 victory over Farmington. At one time during the season the Bulldogs supported a 10 game winning streak. All together, Seniors, Juniors, Sophomores and Coach have worked to develope the pride of the Blue. There will be five Seniors leaving the team this year but this shouldn't stop the Bulldogs next year from having another great year as they have had this year. They know what its like to win and they like it. The leaving Seniors will be missed and all the Boys will remember them.
