The class consisted of live girls and twelve boys. The invocation was given by Reverend A. l.. Eddy. Superintendent I-larris opened the program by introducing the salutatorian, Rosetta Hicks. ln a well- worded, well-delivered talk, she welcomed the relatives and friends of the grad- uates who had come to hear the exercises. lnice NYilson charmed her hearers with a reading, T110 .Viglziiizgalv and the Rose, by XYilde. The male quartet sang Trail .lfafv by Clay Smith. Ll'Ilt'0llI, T110 Jian, an original oration, was delivered by Robert Blakeney. Evelyn Manley. the valedictorian of her class, made the class farewells in a very pleasing manner. One of the chief features of the evening was an address, ll'l1af Do Pnlvlir Srlzuols Tcarlz, by the distinguished Doctor L. C.

Mr. liox is the adviser whom Rotaro is very fortunate to have. Under his influence the society had many interesting and instructive programs by means of which the members were really benelited. ln the lntersociety Contest for the Deam Cup, Rotaro won third place. losing second honors by a close margin. Rotaro challenged Forum to a debate during the second semester. Forum accepted and the debate was held first on April 13 before the l'arent-Teachers Association, and later in the auditorium before the assembled school. XYilmer Lamar. james Pettee. and Edwin Crawford were the debaters from Rotaro. The presidents for the two semesters, XYilmer Lamar and james l'ettee respectively, showed commendable ability in conducting the meetings. ---- Puffc S0 THE DE NOIS Top Row tleft to riglitl--Ziese farlviserl, Narrainore, XYillis, Spitzer, Groves, livans, Rowe.

The excellent programs of the society put on before the school have been greatly enjoyed and appreciated by the students. During the hrst semester the club took part in the beautiful Christmas program which was given just before the Christmas holidays. The boys' quartet of the Glee Club sang at the mid-year commencement exercises, which marked the first mid-year graduating class in the history of the school. In conjunction with the Girls' Glee Club, the lloys' tilee Club. both under the direction of Miss Manchester, took part in one of the musical high spots of the year, the opera lr'inafore .

During this school year under the direction of Mr. Rees, it has added several new achievements to its already long list of accom- plishments. A jazz hand composed of the best players in the society and called The liedbandn, was successfully formed. It was eagerly received hy the student body and will surely become a permanent part of the band. Contrary to the opinions of outside musicians. the hand mastered the dif- ficult selection 18l2 , which it played at a concert in Niantic, Klarch 23. and hefore a large gathering of central Illinois teachers in the armory at Springtield on March 30. A third point of advancement was the playing of solos with hand accom- paniment. The soloists were llarold Roucher, clarinet: Nelson -laclc. saxo- phoneg Donald l'hilips. cornetg and Richard Rodgers, marimha. The lland Association gave a party for the hand and the orchestra at the Staley Clubhouse on Lake Decatur, April 0, ln addition. a hanquet was held hy the band near the close of school. The officers for the year were Richard Rodgers, Presidentg llarold Roucher, Yice-president: .lohn Kegan. Secretaryg Eugene Shyer. Treasurer. I ln' 59 Top Row lleft to rightb-Regan, Harrow, F.

Elie flbrrhestra The Decatur High School Orchestra during the year just completed has continued the standard set for it during previous years. This year an attempt has been made to create a line of promotion. There- fore the orchestra was divided into two groups, orchestra 1 and orchestra 2. The best players as a rule were in orchestra 2, however, there was not much difference in the programs carried out by the two groups. Although each played at different engagements during the year, in the annual concert, they played as a unit. Mr. Rees. the director, deserves genuine praise for his work in both the orchestra and the band. A fine school spirit has been shown by the band and the orchestra in playing for the various aurlitoriums, plays, l'arent-Teachers' Association meetings, banquets, and for the main ball games. The students of the school appreciate greatly the splendid entertainment so generously given by these organizations. -- l ur10 00 THE D NOI 1 . U . .-E.. .

This organization, formerly a part of the Y club, branched off from the Y club six years ago, and formed a club calling themselves Swastika, which means good luck . Swastika is now the local branch of the National Girl Reserve organization. The three-fold purpose of the members of the organization who assemble every week in the Y. XY. C. A. building is to develop the life of the girls spirit- ually, mentally, and physically. The aim of each member is to tind and give the best in both school and home. The members are divided into six different interests groups. Each member chooses the group in which she is most interested. Discussions within the groups are often held after the general meetings. No entertainment is planned as a pro- gram for the whole school year because they grow from the suggestions of the club members. The programs are always helpful in developing one of the three parts of the purpose of the club. In this way the programs help the girls. At every meeting of the girls repeat the code of the Girl Reserves, which is a pledge for each as a member of the Girl Reserves to try to face life squarely and to find and give the bestug to try to be gracious in manner, impartial in judgment. ready for service, loyal to friends, reaching toward the best, earnest in purpose. seeing the beautiful, eager for knowledge, reverent to God, victorious over self. ever dependable, and sincere at all times. This code influences the members greatly. It is through living up to this code that the greatest honor of Girl Reserves comes to a member. This honor is receiving a ring with the Girl Reserves emblem on it. Iiefore a girl is awarded the ring her associates and a committee composed of the president, the adviser. the secretary of the Y. XY. C. A. and a member who has already received a ring, are allowed to grade her in many different points. This year the presentation of the rings was perhaps the most impressive ceremony of its kind ever held. The whole program was carried out in a beau- tiful way by the girls and their adviser. Miss Zua Shoemaker, who for the last two years has given her time helping the girls, has been much more to the girls than an adviserg she has been always their friend and companion in their pleasures and undertakings.

Girlz' Athletic Azznriatinn Throughout the history of the Girls' Athletic Association the members have held as their creed, to make a fair and square sportsman of every one who can take her winnings without a boast and her losses without a whimpern. ln this way the association has produced many of the best athletes of the school. The organization sponsors such sports as soccer, hockey, basketball. volley- ball, baseball. tennis, swimming, and track in which all members take a part. Several athletic awards are oitered every year by the association. This year a loving cup award was instituted to be given to the girl who proves to be the best all-round sportswonian during her three years in the high school. Xlrs.

The prizes are given every year by Mrs. Inez liender, one for the best boys' essay and one for the best girls' essay written on some phase of l,incoln's life. They are judged on the thought and composition of the essay and on the citizenship of the student. A bronze medal, offered by the Springfield watch factory for the best essay judged on thought and composition, was won by Louise Schmidt. The contest is held for the seniors every year. The grades are given: the first by a group of outside judges, on thought and composition: the second. by judges chosen from the school to hear each contestant give an extemporaneous speechg and a third, given by a group of faculty and student judges on the citi- zenship of the student. The winners of the contest deliver their essays at auditorium held nearest to l,incoln's birthday. The lcla K.

The lntersociety Contest Rivalry between the tive literary societies for the intersociety cup probably never reached such a high point as it did in this, the fifth year of the contests. NYith the Hrst two victories for Agora and the last two for Aristos. not a trace of indifference could exist in any society. The evenness of the race held every- one in suspense until the very last. To the four usual events, namely humorous reading, dramatic reading. learned oration, and extemporaneous speaking, one other, interpretative reading, was added this year. First place winners were Alwilla Merrit of Aristos, humor- ous readingg Helen Mae Anderson from Agora, dramaticg XYilmer Lamar, Ro- taro, learned orationg Mary Kemmerer, Aristos, interpretative readingg Emily Montgomery, Agora, extemporaneous speaking. The friendly battle was desperately fought till the final adding of points. Agora came proudly out in the lead with Aristos and Rotaro close behind. This triumph has a silver lining for all. The contest is assured for at least two more years. Had Aristos won the trophy. it would have become her permanent pos- session unless she chose to present it back to the school. Pam' 101 THE D ANOIS The Mary W. French Honors Mary XY. lirench, who still lives in Decatur, was formerly a mathematics teacher in the Decatur High School. The hrst year in the new high school, she was adviser of 322.

There is a tirst prize of thirty dollars and a second one of twenty. The students winning these honors are judged according to merits of schol- arship, membership in a literary society, loyal support of the school's adminis- tration. and leadership among fellow-students. The heads of the departments are the judges. The Mary XY. lfrench honor is among the highest of the school. There are no speeches delivered, hut the honors are awarded at commencement. This year the students chosen were .. ......... ..... . .. .. and The Millikin lnterscholastic Contest The Millikin lnterscholastic contest is very similar in organization to the Big Twelve Contest, the chief difference lying in the fact that the entrants are not limited to the size of the schools they represent.

The Boys' tilee Club, The fiirls' tllee Club, and the Mixed Chorus showed un- usual ability in their work in the contest.

Christmas Vespers Xyhen the curtain was drawn for the Christmas Yespers, the scene was very attractive. The decorations of wreaths and a huge hell were pleasingly simple. The mixed chorus, the young women in costumes of red and white and the young men in dark suits, completed the rather impressive scene. The difficult numbers given hy the chorus were perfectly rendered. A red-herried holly wreath whose centers were girls. a human, musical Christmas tree with its candles and gay tinsel. as well as a profusion of the usual Christmas decorations added to the holiday spirit. liefore the last number, Silent Night .

This is how the Decanois stall, seemingly enjoying in their stage setting, a pleasant day on Lake Decatur, allected those who attended the Decanois auditorium. where the 1928 annual theme. l.ake Decatur, was revealed to the audience. The music of the boys quartet as well as the singing of the entire staff created a gay atmosphere. Emily Rlontgoiiierv. editor, explained the hook in regard to content and introduced her stall. XYilmer Lamar. business manager. then explained the financial and business side of it and also the new method of subscribing. Many favorable comments were received from various sources. praising the novel plan of opening the campaign. Page 109 -' -l l ' il Suppressed Desires Suppressed Desires, a comedy in two scenes by Susan Glaspell, was given in the auditorium. Tuesday, March ZO. lt was sponsored by the Decanois. The characters were: llenrietta llrewster, Mary Kemniererg her husband, Stephen, llomer Henry: and Mabel, llenrietta's sister, Mary Rickards. llenrietta was a psychoanalyist and explained her husband's and sister's actions as suppressed desires of the subconscious mind. She bothered her hus- band, who was an architect, until he could not work. Finally he decided to take her advice and visit the psychoanalysis doctor. Mabel was visiting them at the time and because of various reasons, not eating breakfast, having a curious dream in which she was a hen with someone telling her to Step Hen , and a broken plate. llenrietta persuaded her to visit the doctor. liach came back with reports which worked havoc with llenrietta's belief in the theory. Stephen found his suppressed desire was to escape marriage, and Mabel's Step Hen was Stephen, her brother-in-law. llenrietta decided she was doing everything for psychoanalysis and was getting nothing in return. Therefore she gave it up. Moral-don't believe in things you can't apply to yourself-psychoanalysis, for example. The Shakespearian Sketches On a desert waste, midst thunder and lightning, three witches planned to meet Macbeth as the Scottish general returned victorious from battle. As was plotted, Macbeth and lianquo were stopped on the blasted heath by these un- earthly creatures in their wild attire. Each saluted him with a prophecy- the last bidding him All hail! king that shalt be hereafter. llanquo was pro- nounced to be lesser than Macbeth and greater! not so happy but much hap- pier! That he should never reign but his sons would be kings was their part- ing word as they vanished into the air. This was one of the sketches from Shakespeare given, on March 8, for that division of the lYoman's Club. The scene in As You Like lf in which Rosalind is banished and Celia tlees with her also found ready acceptance in the audience. Parts in .lfacbctlz were taken by: Alwilla Merritt, Marguerite McNutt, and Eileen Maloney, the three witchesg Macbeth, james Petteeg and llanquo, Rob- ert XYillis. :Is You Like If was well interpreted by: Rosalind, Sarah Ann l-lustong Celia, Yirginia llolbeng and Duke lfrederick, Kenneth Flint.

These made a most attractive display in the sewing room on Friday, December 16. Yisitors were pleased with the dresses made by the advanced classes. NYoolen ones predominated, but a few silk dresses had also been finished. Several gained special notice by their neatness and attractiveness. Other tables were arranged with silk, lace-covered, and embroidered pillow cases of exquisite neatness and pattern. Collar-and-cuff sets painted with sil- ver were very dainty. Also a mnnber of tea-towels and dresser scarfs had been beautifully hemstitched and embroidered. All of these make splendid Christmas gifts, and the girls were able to combine school work with practical accomplish- ment. Books! Un entering the library, November 17, the English classes were confronted with a vast variety of books placed artistically about the room. Some were beautiful. some historical. some new and others oldg all of them intensely inter- esting. Now of course every week is book week for us, but that particular one was for everybody. We owe thanks to llaines and lissick's for supplying us with the latest popu- lar editions. to Mrs. llacon and Mrs. Frank Evans for a donation of valuable old books. The occasion would not have been such a success without the interest of the teachers and pupils who lent their favorite books, or without the aid of bliss Gorham and Miss Sankee, who sponsored a systematic collection and ar- rangement of them. The purpose of the book display was to create a greater interest among the students for good literature. Ruskin tells us that the kings treasury was not composed of pecuniary wealth but of the wealth that is found in books. lt is of far greater value than material riches, and therefore a book week is recog- nized in order that we may dwell a moment upon his statement and appreciate it more fully. Prlflt' 11 THE DEC ANOIS - The Art Exhibit One glimpse inside of the art room just preceding Christmas vacation was enough to bring visions of Oriental art shops close at hand. An ordinary schoolroom had taken on the appearance of a gift shop. a mystic place touched by the mellow light streaming from shades painted in artistic colors. The beauty of the pictures on uglorihed glass caused many an exclamation of joy. Peter Pan with his pipes wandered through the woods, a mythical knight rode on his winged steed, and light winds carried swift ships over changing seas-all unconscious of admiring glances cast at them. A display of lovely scarfs next caught the eye. Novel pictures and hgures in water colors. stencil, and cone painting adorned them. just as every good picture must have its center of interest, the art exhibit had its special feature. Mrs. Meyer, the art instructor, proudly pointed out a framed piece of illuminated lettering lying on the center table. It is just like that which the old monks put in their manuscripts. The exquisite lettering of this Hymn of Alfred was well worth a second glance. On the wall hung unframed pen and ink sketches with short poems inserted in the centers. Guide lines of gold like those in ancient manuscripts were left under the lines of poetry. Perhaps the most suggestive of antiques were the hangings on the walls. The tirst one portrayed great, brightly hued birds sweeping down on a velvet painted landscape. An original picture of snow-covered mountain peaks and pine trees was drawn on black silk. All of the scenes were more or less fan- tastic-great white storks in an Qriental setting, mythical beings and monsters, parrots of striking colors. and the ever popular foaming seas carrying bird-like ships on the crests of the waves. The Community Store The girls of the domestic art classes made about forty dresses for the Com- munity Store. They were made for children of eleven and twelve years. A Millikin sorority furnished the materials. ginghams and challies. Some of the dresses were trimmed in the same materials and other in bias trim but no two were alike. The average price of these pretty dainty dresses was forty- one cents apiece.

For six years the acquiring of an athletic field was the definite project of the alumni, students, and friends of the high school. Four of these years were spent in raising sufiicient funds, and in making plans for the field. Two years ago, work upon the field was started, and it was ready for use during the 1926 football season. The 1927 Big Twelve Meet was held on the field, but the work was not completely finished until the fall of 1927. The field was formally dedicated the day of the Urbana game. Thomas Rl. Deam, former principal of Decatur lfigh School and instigator of the move- ment for a high school athletic field, was the chief speaker of the afternoon. Mr. Deam told of his early visualizations of a high school athletic field in Johns' Park. and he expressed his appreciation of being able to see his dreams realized. Frank Lindsay. head of the Alumni Association and the man who probably did more than anyone else for the attainment of the field, spoke of the work done to raise money for the project. lle publicly thanked and complimented those who had so ably assisted him in the campaign for finances. He then formally presented the field to Reverend R. 12. lfenry, 1'resident of the lloard of Educa- tion, who in behalf of the board, accepted it for the school. After two members of the United States Navy had raised the American fiag. Reverend G. A. Rapper- man delivered the dedicatory prayer. The field. as it is. is one of which any school might well be proud. lly the time present plans are carried out, it should be as good as any high school field in the state. The playing field is well tiled and has a good stand of grass. A baseball diamond is to be laid out. On the east side of the field are jumping pits and on the west two dug-outs. Around the gridiron is a quarter-mile oval track which will very satisfactorily fill any needs of the track teams. Three thousand spectators may be easily accommodated by the bleachers on the east side of the field. A score-board is erected on the top of a beautiful slope, which in time will be covered with fiower-beds and shrubbcry. At last we are proud possessors of an athletic field. : I L 4 Page 116 THE DE NOIS Top Row tleft to right?-McNally, Iligclon, Cassel. Yan Sycle, Leathers, Major, Alward, Ass't.

It was they who carried on for the school during the entire season. The rest of the squad were essential to the building of a team, but these were the players who revealed sufficient ability to play the required number of quarters for letters. Claude Smith was elected to captain the 1928 eleven. Claude, more famil- iarly known as Red , acted as captain of the 1927 team during the latter part of the season. Besides Captain-elect Smith, eight of the lettermen will be back for the 1928 games. The seven men in the front row above will be lost through grad- nation. Page 118 l,bq5 70 Ea T. ..

Mark Cowen. the team easily won all of their three dual meets. be- came llig Twelve Champions by winning the Big Twelve Cross Country Meet. won the Quincy Invitational Cross Country Run, and was second at an inter- state meet at Iowa City. At the latter, Glen Carpenter and Howard Burnsides finished first and third respectively, Carpenter setting a new record of 102208 for the lowa Cross Country run. In all other meets Carpenter and Durnsides ran equally good races and always broke the tape hand in hand. In the dual meet with Champaign. jimmy johnson, captain-elect, tied with these two for first place. George Sock Evans effectively captained the team and was continually urging his men to greater efforts. The fifth member of the team, Louis Mason. displayed an Irish fighting spirit throughout the entire season. Pane 119 THE DEC. ANOIS Reminders Kenneth Flint, before the ninth semester rule withdrew him from high school athletics. was the backbone of the basketball team. Chosen by his team- mates as captain, Kenny in no way disappointed them. He always clamped down on his man and often came through with a couple of baskets. Flint received honorable mention for llig Twelve All-Star guard. Flbert Good-lookin' Dodson was the scoring ace of the team. He was high point man in most of the games. During the season he collected a total of one hundred and fifteen points, an averge of almost seven points per game. Dodson had a beautiful shot from near center which always gave spectators a thrill and which frequently added two points to our score. Al quite capably acted as captain during the second semester. District Tournament officials se- lected him as captain of the second All-Star team. XYard Wagoner, forward, was especially noted for his exceedingly grace- ful t?t eight-foot pivots. which left the opponents' guards looking for him. XYard made baskets from all angles and with all manners of shots. Guard, Center, Forward Johnny Hanson played each position equally well. lilesides closely guarding his man, he was fast and elusive on offense. lohn's big game was at Danville. He not only held his man to three foul goals but was the mainspring of Decatur's offense and scored six points. -lohnny will captain the l928-29 quintet. Harry lellackburn could always be counted on to play a good game at back- guard. He held his man to a minimum score and always took the ball off the opponents' backboard to start the offense. Harry got hot in the Arthur game. At one time he had scored tive of the team's eight points. l.ouis Newt l'ryde, who took Flint's place, guarded his man well and trailed the offense like a veteran. Newt received a severe blow when he was denied the privilege of playing on the team with his side-kick, Albert hlewell, who became ineligible with Flint. The Hashiest forward on the team was Frank Larson. Fast on his feet, l rankie was an important cog in Decatur's offense. At Urbana he got so hot that every time he shot from center the girls would scream and the score- keeper would prepare to mark up two more points for Decatur. Clyde Bud llorter, the midget forward, made opposing guards look sick by dodging between their legs. llesides goat-getting , the scrappy forward alternated in trying to knock the backboard to pieces, and in making baskets in the first game of the season, llud starred for the team by scoring six points. lfrom lforsyth came Everett Cassell. forward. to earn a place on the Decatur lligh team. Although it was his first year in high school athletics, he made his team-mates step in order to keep ahead of him. Lloyd justice llaird was a good defensive man. lsle could play defensive forward, running guard, or standing guard. ln the Peoria Central game Lloyd played excellent basketball. His attitude throughout the season was of the best. Page 170 T' Top Row Cleft to rightl-Coach Crooks, Trainer Eickenauer. Flint, Little, Doolen, Ass't Trziiner Leslie, Ass't Coach NVard.

No doubt they lacked experience, but they trained faithfully, tried hard to improve themselves, and had extraordin- arily good feelings toward their teammates. -Charles li. Crooks, Coach. Mr. Crooks' tribute is one of the greatest that can be paid a team. Con- sidering victories and defeats, the team won live of their eighteen games, the season was poor, but their coach's statement shows that the members of the squad received from their participation in the sport the qualities which are in- tended to be developed by athletics. Contrary to the indications of the season's scores, there was some flashy basketball displayed by the team. ln the two games with Maroa and in the games with Arthur, Urbana, Danville, and Champaign, though we lost the last four by close margins, better playing could not have been asked of the team. ll. XY. Lev XYard, because of his good work as assistant coach, deserves a good share of the credit for the showing made by the team. 1 Iii' Ifl - THE DECANOIS Standing Cleft to rightj--Trainer Hoendorf, Veech, Resh, Blue, Peyer, Pryde, VValden, Hanson Coach Rotz.

Baseball '-Elettermen, 1927 Decatur High School baseball teams, due to the coaching of Lawrence Rotz. have consistently won honors for the school, and the 1927 team was no excep- tion. Qt' the iifteen games played, twelve were won and three were lost. Peoria Central. Springfield, and Waukegan, all of them powerful nines, were the teams conquerors. Captain Julius Resh was the mainstay of the team. He batted well above four hundred, and not infrequently did he complete the entire circuit of bases before the sphere could be returned to the home plate. Oral Swede Campbell, who shared the pitchers box with Louis Newt , Thomas Mason, George Blue. George Veech, and John Hanson, will help make up the 1928 team.

Smith, Doane, Cannon, Capt. Scntman, Resh, Killiorn. Eirark Elettermvn, 1927 The track team of 1927 was made up, for the most part. of inexperienced men. However. through the patient coaching of Charles F. Crooks, and through the efforts of the members of the squad, the team completed a fairly successful season. Captain Lee Sentman, perhaps the greatest track star Decatur High has ever produced, was the leading scorer for his team. In practically every meet. Sentman was high-point man. He usually won first place in the high hurdles, low hurdles. high jump, and broad jump. Glen Carpenter, the 1928 captain, was a consistent winner in the half mile. His points, added to Sent- man's, were enough to win a shield or two for the school. The other members of the team worked hard. and now and then added some appreciable points to our score. Page 123 THE DEC. ANOIS C6irl5'I5a5ketha1ll nurnament Under the leadership of XYanda Glazebrook, the juniors upset the bucket by winning the 1928 championship from the seniors and sophomores. The win- ning team was fast and showed excellent teamwork. Captain tilazebrook, together with good fortune and a mean eye for the basket, took the honor of high scorer. Florence Harnish, senior, copped sec- ond place. Marge tlambrel, junior, and Yirginia Good, senior, took third and fourth places respectively. Marge and XYanda's spectacular shooting caused many gasps from the spectators as well as from the players. Loretta liailey. the lanky center, was always there on the tip-offg few could outreach I.ettnce . Myrtle Xiiiekersham. llelen lslotfliein, and Maddy Carrel were demon-like lighters, while .luanita ltleynen and Donnalee llammel also did their part in helping to bring the crown to the juniors. The outclassed seniors were left with second place, having been defeated twice by the juniors. The games between these two teams were perhaps the most interesting of the tourney because the players were so evenly matched. The spirited rivalry caused the contests to be hard fought from beginning to end. Part of the blame for defeat was placed on Fee NYee llarnish for losing the Holy Rabbit Foot of the upper-classmen. Captain Yirginia tiood and Florence Islarnish were the outstanding senior marksmen, while Frances XYilson helped in getting the ball into play and con- tributed her share of baskets. lAleinie llailey. Clara Uhl. and Mart Cough- lin prevented many a forward from getting that whirling sphere into the bas- ket. The three ponies, Thelma Miller, Frances Miss l'haroh Sauner. and .lane Dickinson did their best to uphold the past record of the senior class. The rivalry was keen between the two sophomore classes. The sophomore l's, however. won over the sophomore ll's in fast and furious games. Although they did not win many of this year's games, they have two more years in which to prepare for battle and look forward to taking the championship. The sopho- more teams were composed of-Sophomore l: ti. Usterloh tcaptaini. lf. Se- bring, ti. l.ehn, l. l'eters, A. NYhite, T. Qurr, M. Cooley, li. XYheeler. Sopho- more ll: M. Dial tcaptaini, M.

All turned to exclaim at the beauty of this palace of the far North. The silvery snow-banked balcony rested on great pillars striped with red, white, and green. Electric candles illuminated a huge ZS on the wall at the end of the fairy land hall. A Christmas tree in all the glory of brightly colored lights was elevated in one corner. Huge colored lights shone down on the red bells in the center of the room and on the snowtiakes Hoating in mid air, casting a weird light over the assembly. Beginning ceremonies, Mr. and Mrs. Fox strutted off at the head of a grand march in which everyone took part. As soon as the march ended, social danc- ing commenced to the strains of the orchestra. lietween dance numbers Richard Rodgers played the .wlzzeil Chorus and a Russiazz Lullaby on the Xylophone. A quartette consisting of Eugene Pettitt, Xlilmer Lamar, Ben Aiken, and Alfred Miller entertained with several carols during an intermission. Tables of games where younger days were renewed in dominoes. checkers, and tiddledy-winks attracted those who did not dance. The warmth of friendship and pleasure persisted in spite of the chilly atmos- phere of a fairy palace till the guests regretfully left the last class party of the 1928 seniors. The Junior Barn-Dance The class of '29 stepped from the usual run of parties and held a rousing medicine show on Saturday night, December 3, 1927. The audience was kept in an uproar by the witty remarks of the barkcr, Norville Crain. After being entertained in the town hall by a banjo solo by Erwin Hill, a solo dance by Elizabeth lleiderman, songs by George lsllue, and an Indian war dance by 'lesse llagus, lfarmer llrown tllob lfriendl invited the crowd to a dance in his barn fthe Gym. J. There the revelers danced among cornstalks and bales of hay, with wise old owls looking on from their nests above. An orchestra provided gay strains to which the merry-makers beat a lively tattoo upon the floor. In the lower corridors all sorts of games were provided for those not wishing to dance. Refreshments consisted of great stacks of doughnuts and kegs of cider. All in all, it was a huge success for thc juniors. Pune J 0 - THE DEC ANOI I The Agora-Aristos Banq uet None of the unlucky traditions popularly attributed to Friday, the thirteenth of january, marred the beauty and dignity of the Agora-Aristos banquet. The guests were received in the school library, which played the role of banquet hall. Tall candles illuminated the tables which were decorated in pink and pea green. The speakers' table was placed across the south end of the library. while the others were arranged in rows. one on either side of a central aisle. A great basket of roses stood at the back of the former table. The River of Life was the theme for the evenings program. The center- piece of each table was a miniature lake with a tiny boat afloat. tiuests found their names on canoes. the paddles of which were Agora and Aristos, respectively. The First half of the program was presided over by Miriam Akers of Aristos. and the second part by Geraldine Tohill of Agora. Xlr. Sayre and two of the girls responded to the toasts, T110 Soizrrv, The CQIILYIIIICI, and The Dam. three phases of the River of life . A vocal solo: .loyce Kilmar's T1'cc.v, and a piano solo. Yictor llerbert's ,lfarrlz of flllf To-vs. were heard. Mrs. llostetler gave her version of Our I.Iift'l'Ul',l' Life. A girl from each society expressed her ap- preciation of her society. Two features of the program were Silinfizy Fisliin' and The Frrrklrd Farr Girl. The curtain of ten years rolled back for a glimpse of what each girl will be doing at that time. As a strain of prophecy often provokes serious thought of the future. par- ticipants in that banquet left with the hope that this delightful and almost tra- ditional custom will bc continued by succeeding members of the societies, lift-1.51 l The Sophomore Frolic This is station SQPH broadcasting the Sophomore l'arty from Decatur liigh School.

The junior oiiicers welcomed them in the midst of Howering wistaria and oriental lanterns. The entertainment of the evening opened with a reading and some solo dances. Then the upper classmen were treated to a Heeting glimpse of the future beckoning to them in the class prophecy. Following this came a period of social dancing, after which the guests took leave of their gracious hosts. - - 1 - - I - Paar' 137 i,,.,7 ,,. i' V151 , 7 N! in N f J nf l-4 I.

XYe sat on the shelf, hung over the ledge, and ceased to worry about assemblies. XVe had class meetings, moved and seconded, voted, and acted really grown-up. After considerable discus- sion, Ralph Fowler and Roselyn Pease were elected to control our class. VVe seldom clashed in our opin- ions, and we sailed along smoothly. Hermoise got her first taste of Florida and fell in love with it. A few of us rated positions on the publication staffs. XVe dis- cussed rings and pins and ended, as junior classes al- ways do, by voting for the most ostensibly expensive style. XYe entertained the seniors in an old-fashioned rose bower and were our- selves entertained at an ln- dian Pow XYow. Rosie and her committee worked hard that year. The next year opened with a fight against a politi- cal machine which was bent on controlling our elections. Our ire was aroused, our reverie was broken, and we were an active senior class. XYe hung on each other's lockers, congregated in groups on third Hoor. XVe controlled the publications and had desks and ofiices of our own. XYC re-elected Ralph and Rosie: Rosie and Ralph, the only head officers our class ever had, and we liked them. XYe elected a Memorial Committee. NVe had dates and our folks did not insist that we be in at 9 or cven 10 o'clock. As a part of our privilege as sen- iors, we carried light sched- ules of work. XYe joined so- cieties, entered contests, tried out for plays, made speeches in auditorium. said Good morning to Mr. Sprunger and Mr. Sayre without hesitating. XVe lunched in parties at any place in Decatur and laughed a great deal. XYe sat in 322 and remained through long and stormy meetings. NVe went to another of Rosie's parties, more beautiful than any before. XYe studied Hamlet and essays. XVe subscribed to the Literary Digest. As seniors, we produced a mid-year graduating class. the first in our history. XVe also broke custom Cand some of our classmates' hearts? by adopting caps and gowns for Commencement. VVe published a Decanois with a flexible imitation leather cover, the first ever. XVe were entertained by the juniors in a fascinating Chi- nese Garden. XYe had a senior class play, all our own. XVe had a class day and a senior picnic and at last-a Commencement. So this is the end, the attain- ment of the ideal. The old school, having sheltered us for three years, is happy at last to pawn us off on the world. Pam' 155 THE DECANUIS Jann 1+-f-if 5- -4 a 5 . 2 . -is Q fx!
