E l m a 44- mm: 'fs n? Greetings from the staff, to all who may read this, our Decanois. the annual of the Class of 1915 of Decatur High School. Wfe offer our work to your cen- sure, praise, or criticism, and we hope you may read in the same spirit in which we have written. Our Decanois is published to fulfill many worthy purposes. and we hope, at least, to accomplish some of them. There has been much pleasure in editing this annual, in spite of the labors. perplexities, disappointments, and struggles involved. As we passed through these experiences, we could not forbear fostering that ever-growing desire that this annual might bring pleasure to many. For every class of readers, this pleasure may be of a peculiar nature. To you, citizens of Decatur. we wish to show the many opportunities which the Decatur High School offers in courses of study and student activities. To you, alumni, we wish to bring back the glad memories of the days when you were high school students and when you enjoyed all the pleasures of high school life. NVe hope that you may see signs of progress since that time and that you may be proud of your old alma mater. Lower-classmen of D. H. we wish to leave with you a brief record of events in your early high school days, but our main hope is that. through the medium of this book, we may arouse a long-lived interest in the class of 1915. To you, juniors. we send the wish for your success. You will soon take our place. May you be as fortunate as we have ever wished our class to be. Fathers and mothers of the members of the senior class, this annual is intended to picture a brief of the years your children have spent here, their activities. development. and attainments. We hope that they may seem worthy of your sacrifices and that you may feel a just pride in your childrens success. To you, our faculty, exceeding gratefulness is tendered, for it is through your help, kind interest. and encouragement that we have gained so much from our years in high school. Last in mention, but not last in mind, is the Class of '15, and each individual member. Together we leave our high school and all its activities. And so. class-mates, our greatest desire is that this book may serve as a connecting link between the scenes of your high school days and whatever the future holds for you. May these days never be forgotten by any member of the '15 class. and. strengthened by the experience and knowledge gained, may you develop into men and women capable of meeting life squarely. Our ambition Hys high, but whether we have satisfactorily accomplished our purposes we cannot ourselves estimate. 1121
