Page 78 IIII the decanois The Sophomore Class A thousand sophomores, approximately, came to Decatur High School this year. The majority came from Roosevelt, john's Hill, and Centennial Junior High Schools. A few entered from out of town schools. The sophomore class is not organized with officers and an adviser as are the junior and senior classes. In Decatur schools the 6-3-3 system is used: six years of elementary grades, three years of junior high school grades, and three years of senior high school grades. XVork in the first six grades is done at the following schools: Dennis, Dur- fee, Mary W. French, Garfield, Gastman, Grant, Lincoln, Oak Grove, Oakland, Oglesby, Pugh Street, Riverside, Roach, Ullrich, Warren, and Washington. The three junior high school grades are taught at Roosevelt, john's Hill, Centennial, and Oakland schools. In September of this year the new Woodrow NVilson Junior High School will be opened with an approximate enrollment of three hundred pupils. It will include the seventh, eighth, and ninth B grades. Xlfashington school has three health rooms wherein seventy-five children receive proper health care. The students in the seventh and eighth grades go to ,lohn's Hill Junior High School to recite and return to Washington school for their rest periods and lunches. There is a Deaf-oral room at Gastman school where the children so afflicted may receive training. The Crippled Childrens' Room at Gastman is in its third year of existence. It was instituted as a memorial to Miss Gunhild johnson. who died three years ago and who for twelve years was head of the health de- partment in the Decatur schools.

The second semester three boats were built. Four boats were made the following year. and in 1930-'31 four additional ones were built. This year's output was six. The boats go under the name of Shaffer Craft. because Mr. Russell Shaf- fer teaches the class that builds them. All boats made previous to 1931-'32 were known as Model 18, since they were eighteen feet long. This year's boats, Model 17-A and Model 17-B, are seventeen feet long. Everything but the machine work is done by students at the High school shops. There is no equipment for machine work. Boat building was originally offered for the purpose of interesting more students in manual training. Now the demand for that work is so heavy that numbers in classes are limited. A permanent boat display is maintained at ,lack Toombs' garage, and ex- hibits of these boats are held in St. Louis, Bloomington, and Springfield. The crafts compare with nationally known makes of boats and can be bought for less. X Statistics are as follows: MODEL 17-A, 50 horsepowerg speed, 32 miles per hourg price, S840 delivered in the water. MODEL 17-B, 70 horsepowerg speed, 40 miles per hourg price. S930 delivered in the water. MODEL 18, 85 horsepowerg speed, 36 miles per hourg price. S1125 delivered in the water. These boats are sold to the public, and the proceeds go to the school.

CI' he Libr-arg Staff Betty Bennett Zelma Snider Jack Enloe Edgar Michl Wilma Snider Roberta Smith Lenore Stephenson Betty Myers Cora Taylor Virginia Richardson jean Beall Miss Harper, Librarian Jane Cranston Opal Kreig Members of the library staff are chosen because of their interest in library work. They can hold the position only on merit. Several students of this yearis staff have had some library training in junior high school and are eager to con- tinue their studies along this line. Each member of the staff works one hour a day in the library, serving stu- dents at the loan desk. All this work is under the supervision of Miss Harper. In this way the staff is of much service to the school, while at the same time the members are learning the details of a librarian's work. A library assistant who fails to carry his regular school work is dropped from the staff. The opportunity to do work in the high school library has often led students to become interested in library work as a vocation for life. Former students who have had the privilege of being library assistants have, in a number of cases, chosen library science for their college work and have be- come library assistants in the colleges and universities in which they studied. Thus the opportunity to do high school library work has helped some stu- dents to choose a life work.

This is a larger number than was ever before enrolled. The department has put forth great effort to prepare its members well for every phase of business life, and to give them as much experience as possible in practical business affairs. A school book-exchange has been conducted by stu- dents, under faculty supervision, in order that actual experience may be gained. The commercial geography classes have studied the geography of the business world in relation to modern political situations as well as economic conditions. Stress has been laid on present day problems of the world. The typing classes this year have had the benefit of some new typing tests which make for efficiency. Proficiency in shorthand, typing, and bookkeeping was given a further stim- ulus by the selection of a team to represent Decatur High School in the Illinois State Commercial Contest. There were three members on each team. The dis- iiiiii trict and sectional tournaments of that contest were held in Decatur in April and May. Page ss 1 2 9264: IIII the decfanols iff vi Home Economics Department Foods and clothing make up the Home Economics department of Decatur High School. It is the aim of this department to provide a comprehensive and interesting course for students of household science. The Foods department is under the direction of Miss Troutman. Food values, the preparation and serving of meals, the making and following of butl- gets, and cooking for the sick are studied. Twice a week the girls have work with a nurse of the school health department, learning bandaging, bed-making. bathing of patients, and the care of babies. Included in the course is the study of dietetics, the providing of balanced meals, and the planning and furnishing of modest homes. In the clothing department the girls study clothing in its broadest sense. Special attention is given to designing, costuming, and the study of personality in dress. An exhibit of dresses made is held each semester either in the class room or in the auditorium. Clothes are also made for the Community Chest at Christmas time.

Its hrst public appearance was at the Macon County Teachers' Institute early in the year. Later it was callerl upon to play for several assemblies and a number of public functions, including the play given by the senior class and the two commencements, mid-year and May. Leah jane Seiberling was student leader and concert master. Each year a concert is given for the public in which both band and orchestra take part.

This year the club has laid especial stress on the theater in foreign countries. Several of the meetings have been devoted to talks by Miss Fike. As is the custom, the club was divided into small groups, each group giving a one-act play.

The play consists of a prologue and three acts. The first act takes place in the garden of Mr. John Carteret in 1914. Dr. Harding, Mr. Carteret's life- long friend, and Mr. Carteret are having their daily game of dominoes. Dr. Harding tries to slip a note to Ellen, the housekeeper, for Kathleen, Mr. Car- teret's ward. The note is from Kenneth Wayne. Mr. Carteret discovers this and is outraged. He hates Kenneth Wayne just as he hated his father before him and refuses to let Kathleen have any dealings with him. Kenneth comes to the garden to tell Kathleen goodbye, as he is going to join the army the next day. Mr. Carteret discovers them and orders Kenneth from the garden. He decides it is time for Kathleen to know the reason for his hatred, so he begins to tell the story. This story, which took place fifty years before in the same garden, is the theme of the second act. It is the night Moonyeen Clare, Kathleen's aunt, and John Carteret are to be married. Jeremiah Wayne, Kenneth's father, who was also in love with Moonyeen, comes to the garden to beg her not to marry John. Finally he leaves, but returns later to find Moonyeen and John both in the gar- den, He attempts to kill John but kills Moonyeen instead. In the third act Kenneth returns from the war and Mr. Carteret is finally persuaded to consent to the marriage of Kathleen and Kenneth. As Mr. Car- teret dies, Moonyeen comes back to him once more, '6Smilin' Through the mists that separate the life here and the hereafter. So there is a happy ending. The cast was as follows: Sarah Wayne Mary Clare .... John Carteret ...... Dr. Owen Harding . Ellen .............. Kathleen Dungannon Willie Ainley ......... Kenneth VVayne ....

The art editors used various types of light production, the sun, the moon, the stars, the ancient Greek lamp, the candle, the lanterns, the oil lamp, the electric light. This Light theme is carried out in lining pages, borders, division and sull- division pages, and in the ex libris and hnis designs. Thus each activity of school life is interpreted through light. The Art department of the Decanois is not merely a collection of miscel- laneous pictures placed in an indifferent manner but rather, a carefully planned and well worked-out division of the book.

Every member of the depart- ment contributed to the exhibit. These posters were displayed in the windows of the old Morehouse and Vtfells building. A dozen of them were taken to Chicago by Mr. Jacob, head of the advertising department of the 1933 World's Fair. Mr. Jacob will sponsor a poster contest, advertising the fair, open to all high school art students. He was especially interested in the work done by John Klinker. The Christmas exhibit this year consisted principally of original hand-made Christmas cards. Margaret Lyon, Evelyn Mack, Carolyn Hershberger, Marian Carr, Roberta Morris, and Marcella Srnka did outstanding work. John Klinker, Carl Gaddis, and Donald Robinson made a number of wood block designs for Christmas cards, and wood block monograms for stationery. Miss Troutman's classes and Miss Fike aided the art department in arranging a Christmas dinner table in red and silver, a tea-table in green, and a bridge table. The place cards for the dinner table, and the tallies, score pad, and prize for the bridge table were designed and made by the students. Emily Lou Stuckey and Virginia Valiton made clever place cards for the teachers' Christmas banquet. The members of the advanced classes made place cards for the banquet given early in the year in honor of Miss Florence Hale, President of the National Education Association. The Staley Journal cover design contest awards for last year were as fol- lows: First prize of fifty dollars to Frances Osborne, for a striking design of a drum-major in red and white against a black backgroundg second prize of twen- ty-five dollars to Carolyn Hershberger, for a pen drawing of a kitten with green eyesg third prize of ten dollars to Fritz Young, for a conventional design of the Staley viaduct for the Christmas cover.

The prologue portrayed the life of the actors backstage as they waited for the rehearsal to begin. Genevieve Auer and Elsum Hedges, editors of the Ob- server, gave full and final instructions to each actor and actress. Then the re- hearsal began. The characters in the play represented the various school activities which would doubtless be written up in the Observer during the year. The parts were played by students prominent in these activities. Then came an appeal from the Observer staff for the audience to sign sub- scription pledges. The assembly was in charge of Miss Gorham and Miss Parkinson. Pierrot, one of the dramatic societies, sponsored the play. The Football Banquet The annual banquet for the football and cross-country boys was held in the high school cafeteria, December 2. Mr. Sayre was toast-master. Several prominent people connected with the school attended the banquet and were introduced by Mr. Sayre. Each one gave a short talk, complimenting the boys on the work of the season. A trio from the boys' glee club, composed of Charles Tapscott, Ernest Has- kell, and Kenneth Black, sang several numbers. They were accompanied by Alan Easterling. After the names of the letter-men were read, the 1932 football and cross- country captains were elected. .lack Blackburn was elected captain of the foot- ball team. and Maurice Huddart, captain of the cross-country team. Mr. Sayre then introduced Mr. Wilson, the principal speaker of the evening, who is the freshman football coach at the University of Illinois. His speech was interesting, because he told of the circumstances under which he had been obliged to fight himself. There were twenty-one letter-men: Scottie McGlasson, Robert Leek, Hens- ley Dabner, Jim Heaton, Willard Ray, Paul Hill, .lack Blackburn, Kenneth Red- ding, Irving Dow, George Keller, Russel Little, Ross Bullard, Leonard Minick. Hershel Harrington, Edgar Michl, Junior Kohr, Paul Edgecomb, Roscoe Brown, Clyde Smith, Paul Perry, and Ernest Gentry.

VVhite paper streamers and silver-decked Christmas trees with blue ceiling lights playing upon the scene made a pleasing picture. Snow in the form of confetti added gaiety. Faculty members and oflicers of the junior class were special guests. This year, contrary to custom, seniors were allowed to bring as their guests members from other classes in the school. Cleft Harkness and his band furnished music for the dancing. Amusing novelty numbers were presented by members of the band. Games were available for those who did not care to dance. ITlid-Hear Senior Class Parhg The 1nid-year class of this year was so well organized that it had more class spirit than any preceding mid-year class. Members joined the 1932 May- seniors in giving a Christmas party, and shared equally with them in honors and work. But on February 20 they gave a party of their own, thus establishing a precedent. Senior advisers and a few members of other classes were invited guests. The gymnasium was attractively decorated in gold and blue, the class colors. The color scheme was carried out by a lavish use of crepe paper and gay bal- loons. Music for the dancing was furnished by Paul Campbell and his orchestra. Ualenline Ball The school gymnasium was transformed into Valentine Valley on the even- ing of February 13 for the annual dance given by members of the glee clubs and the orchestra. The dance floor was enclosed by white trellises, on which was twined smilax, with hundreds of red hearts of all sizes. At one end of the hall, Lee Home- brook's orchestra played from a terrace enclosed by low stone walls, palms, and ferns. Above the orchestra was a large, paper-lace valentine, in the center of which was a single eighth note. Streamers of red and white were stretched from this valentine to the columns at opposite ends of the terrace. Red balloons were suspended from the ceiling and were released late in the evening. Charles Tapscott, president of the boys' glee club, was general chairman of the party. He was assisted by Roy Longbons, Frank Staley, and Cecil Madaus as finance committee. Charles Kippenhan was in charge of the orchestra, and .lean Livergood of the decorations. About seventy couples were present at the dance. Chaperones were Miss Betty Jo Eikenberry, and Mr. and Mrs. Rex Rees. Page 114 A i ws ft A EZ! 315' 5 22 ..5 .. X . A ,., S2 if S Si 3 Q . xx I 'I E13 Q L53 Q 'e Y! -4 . Fa gh 1 If 51 wi f gs fi .

To them it stands for the school itself, since it depicts accurately every phase of school life. It does not belong to one organi- zation nor to one class, but to the school as a whole. The work of every organi- zation is recorded in the book. It contains pictures of classes, clubs, teams, and also records memorable events of the school year. Formerly a senior publica- tion, the Decanois now represents the entire school, and all students may have a share in its making. Last year the Decanois received excellent, or first class honor rating by the National Scholastic Press Association in Minneapolis. It was also awarded distinguished rating by the Illinois State High School Press Conference. This year's staff, consisting of twenty-eight seniors, has worked hard dur- ing the year to produce an annual representative of the best efforts of the Deca- tur High School. The members have enjoyed and appreciated the experience they have had, and they offer their handiwork as a memento of the achievements of the school during the past year. Each year the Decanois of the previous year is entered in the Illinois High School Press Association contest, sponsored by the journalism department of the University of Illinois. For the past three years the Decanois has received the honor of Distinguished Rating in this contest. Last year for the first time it was entered in the National Scholastic Press Association contest sponsored by the school of journalism at the University of Minnesota. Animals are rated thus: all-American-superior-tirst class-excel- lent- second class-good-third class-high average-fourth class-no honors. The Decanois was placed in the second class-excellent-last year. Page 118 Illl the decanois CI' he Observer The Observer, Decatur High's bi-weekly newspaper, is truly the eye of the school. It sees all, knows all, and records accurately all school activities. Started in 1885, it has given continuous service since that time. It is one of the oldest, continuously printed high school papers in the United States. The staff, consisting of forty-seven students, has as its faculty adviser, Bliss Parkinson. For features. Miss Hambright is adviserg editorial adviser is Bliss XVyneg and business adviser, Mr. Ziese. The Observer reflects the life of the school, promotes good scholarship, encourages worthy school enterprises, builds up respect for recognized authority, and fosters love and loyalty for the school. At the Illinois State High School press conference The Observer' has won distinguished rating for the sixth successive year. At the National Press Contest at Columbia University, New York, The Observer has been placed in the second highest class for the third successive year. Fraqments and Fantasies Fragments and Fantasies, formerly separate booklets, were combined last year and were published as one book. The section of the book known as Fragments consists of bits of selected verse written by members of Poetry Club. lt is representative of the work done by these ardent enthusiasts in their flights on the winged horse, Pegasus. The purpose of this part of the book is to create among the students an interest in original poetry. Fantasies is composed of prose written by the members of Prose Club and the English classes. The contributions are the work of sophomores. juniors. and seniors. Fragments has been published since 19253 Fantasies, since 1927.

Gay Kintnvr fifliletzl' Coach l Decatur High's success in athletics in the past few years has been due to the coach, Mr. Gay Kintner. His ability as a coach has been proved again and again because his teams came to the front and stayed there. After two years here, his basketball players had won the Big Twelve Conference title. The following year his boys won the state tournament. the highest goal any high school in Illi- nois can reach. This year his team finished third in the Big Twelve. In football his teams have been classed among the strongest in the state. All schools have learned to respect any team that Mr. Kintner puts out. Mr. Wfhite, assistant to Mr. Kintner and track coach, has also been success- ful here. His reserve football teams have made remarkable showings in their games. His track teams have been at the top, something that the track men of previous years haven't accomplished. This last year his track team finished third in the Big Twelve meet, the highest Decatur High has ever finished. Mr. Francis IVl1ite Assz'5!a11!

Mattoon, the winner of thc Big Twelve, was the only team to hold a victory over the Reds. Decatur's cross country team took victories over Peoria Central, Lincoln, Urbana, Danville and Springiield. Hallihan and Captain Bennington, in the meet with Mattoon on Decatur's ground, set a new course record. The record was previously held by Glenn Car- penter of Decatur High School, who a few years ago was one of the best cross country runners in the state of Illinois. Hallihan and Bennington came in, hand and hand, for first places in all but three of the meets. They were always closely followed by Huddart, Dillinger, Spitzer and DeLong, their teammates. The men who won letters in cross country are Bill Bennington Ccaptainb, Norris Huddart fcaptain-electj, Dan Hallihan, Wayne Dillinger, Glenn Spitzer, and Burke DeLong. Captain-elect, Morris Huddart, is the only cross country man who will be back for next yearls Work. Page 126 IIII the dedanols , First Row-C. Sandbcrgy, D. Hannum, R. Johnson. Svcorzii Rott'-P.

Johnson and Norton were entered in the singles. ,lohnson was beaten his first round, 6-O, 6-2, by Debner of Lincoln, the Big Twelve Champion. Norton was barely defeated in his match. In the doubles Johnson and Anderson were defeated by the doubles team from Danville. Sandberg and Norton beat the two boys from Springfield by the score of 6-O, 6-O. Next they met the team from Jacksonville. After a furious battle, the jacksonville boys won out with a score of 7-5, O-6, 7-5. The Decatur boys won 16 games to ,lacksonvilles 14 in the three sets, but they did not win them in the right order. Patil Burchell made the trip as alter- nate, but did not get into any of the contests. The team was made up mostly of boys who have had little experience and who were wholly new to Big Twelve competition. Page 127 fir' H l , , ,. l E . i ll if . 1 5 i .

CLYDE SMITH Smith played end. He was scrappy and could get around easily, a fact which made him ri hard man to keep out of the play. His splendid attitude and spirit will be missed next year. PAUL HILL CCaptainJ Hill was a consistent offensive and defensive player. He was always good for a couple of yards when they were most needed. He displayed the fighting leadership required of a Decatur High cap- tam. HERSCHEL HARRINGTON Harrington played guard. This was his first year but he proved his worth. He also is back next year. JACK BLACKBURN fCaptain-electj Blackburn was one of the best tackles Decatur High School has ever had. For his efforts he was chosen captain for next year's team. IRVING DOW Dow played end on this year's Reds. He also is passing on as one who has brought glory to him- self and to his school. Q ww it N I D XB , it - at at ' sa v F F ' X 1 X . J 4 1 fy RUSSELL LlTTLE Little played fullback and tackle. He was a handy man to have around, for he was able to play either in the backfield or in the line with due credit to himself and to his school. His fine spirit will be missed next year. ROSCOE BROWN Brown was one of those up and coming guards. He proved himself to be mighty tough for his en- emy to take out. Mr. Kintner will be proud to have a guard like Brown next year. FRANK LEEK Leek was a big and hefty guard. He played his best game when the opposing team made him sore. Then he was hard to handle. The age limit catches up with Buss, so his days of foot- ball are over. HENSLEY DABNER Dabner played end, and what an end! He was always a big obstacle for the enemy to get past. For his playing ability, he was chosen on the Big Twelve all-star team. PAUL EDGECOMBE Edgecombe played end and was quite at home in this position. His ability to get the interference men out of the way made him valuable to the team. He is the third member of his family to receive a letter in football.

KENNETH REIJDING Redding was another of the two hundred pound guards. Ile hurt his shoulder at the first of the year and was bothered with it the remainder of the season. Nevertheless he turned in several nice games. Much is expected of this boy next year. JUNIOR KOHR Kohr was one of the tackles. He had bad luck his last year by breaking his collar bone in the St. Teresa game. May Decatur have more men with the courage of Kohr. SCOTTIE MCGLASSON McGlasson was one of the pony halfbacksf' VVhat Scottie lacked in size he made up in speed. He proved this fact at Danville. He has two more years to play, so much is expected of him. ERNEST GENTRY Gentry played fullhaek and end.

This year he completed three years of hard Fighting on the grid- iron for dear old Decatur High. lie was always ready to make a hole in the opposing line for the hackheld nzen. LEONARD MlNlCK Minitk played guard, and what a guard! Ile was always in the thick of the lrattle and could al- ways lie depended upon to fly his share. He is one of the letternten hack next year and should do much to help the team to victory. GEURGE KELLER Keller was one uf those hard driving half hacks.

Decatur High's football team played a heavy ten-game schedule. It played best teams in the Big Twelve, besides Mt. Vernon, Centralia, and George- town, three of the toughest teams in Illinois. The Reds managed to outscore their opponents by the total score of 82 to 64. The Reds battled to three scoreless ties this year. Urbana, one of the strong- est teams in the Big Twelve, barely managed to eke out a 7 to 6 victory. Deca- tur played the worst football of her season against Mattoon and Centralia. Mat- toon won a 27-to-6 victory, while Centralia took the Reds to the tune of 21 to 7. Decatur defeated Danville 22 to O. In the first meeting between the two schools. Decatur took a one-sided victory from St. Teresa, 34 to 0. In the Turkey Day tilt, the boys displayed their best football of the season against Springfield, the Big Twelve champs, who won a 7-to-O victory. .lack Blackburn was chosen captain for next year.

The team lost more games than is customary for a Kintner coached team, yet it finished third in the Big Twelve Conference. Decatur's greatest vic- tory was defeating Springfield. who had earlier in the season defeated the Reds. Those who won letters this year were as follows: Captain Keller, XfVilson, McGlasson, Cochran, Kush, tl. Hill, Keys. Spies. Michl, and Hill. The three lettermen who will be back for next year are Wlilson Mcfjlasson, 7 and Kush. Kush will be eligible for but one semester of playing. Franklin, a member of this years squad, will be back next year and should strengthen the team. Page 1.31 Cc S f . , ,. I Y V. If 4 , . ri ,. , 11 1: I ii .,., JU- H . 1 g ,...

The Armorq Decatur's new armory, the home of the Headquarters and Service Companies of the 130th Infantry, Illinois National Guard, is now the official basketball floor for all D. H. S. games. The building, which is less than half a block from the high school and seems therefore like a real unit of Decatur High School, is new, having been dedicated by Governor Emmerson February 25, 1932. The Decatur Board of Education was given permission to equip the large drill hall for basketball games. Bleachers were set up, boundary lines were painted with alspastine. and basketball standards, costing 3200, were erected. The playing court is 50 by 88 feet. Un january 2, an athletic assembly was held in the new armory. This is only the second time in nfteen years that the entire body of Decatur High School students has met in one assembly. The band played, the students sang and cheered, and visitors made short talks. The St. Teresa-D. H. S. game was the first one to be played on the new iioor. It was fitting that two Decatur teams should play the first game. The bleachers were packed, the Red-coats played, the glee clubs led the singing of the loyalty songs. Decatur High appreciated its new basketball gymnasium. Page 132 IIII the decanols Tournament Decatur, 395 Maroa. 11. Decatur, 193 VVarrensburg, 24. Decatur appeared in only one tournament this year. Instead of competing in a Christmas holiday tournament, as has been customary, the Reds journeyed up state to take on the strong Joliet quintet. Decatur was beaten in a close battle. Taking an inexperienced group of boys and making them into a classy little ball team was the work Mr. Kintner, the coach, did this year. The boys were trained well for the district tournament. In their first game the Reds defeated Maroa. In the semi-finals Decatur met 'Warrensburg and was defeated by hve points. The 'XVarrensburg team was playing its best basket- ball Of the season. 1Yarrensburg won the tournament by beating Clinton one point. Three Kintnermen made the all-star district tournament team, as follows: Forward-Keller. Center-lYilson.

Hill McGlasso1z l3oq's Basketball Letterman Leonard Kush was certainly no fake as a basket- ball player although his fake passes often opened up a hole for the Reds. He was a real fighting guard, and he was a great deal to the team. Vere Cochran was the outstanding guard on the team this year. He played a good clean game and put everything into it. His ballfhandling and scor- ing put the Reds on the map. George Keller was captain of this year's team and played forward. Although he was out for a time because of an accident, he was an essential man to the team. His cool ball-handling will long be remembered. Paul Hill was another of those state champs who put Decatur on the map last year. His fast, cool playing was an important part of the team. He was ruled out at mid-year, and his loss was keenly felt by all. This was Scottie McGlasson's first year, and he took it.fly1ng. His alert mind and fast plays in the position of forward were great assets to the team. Edgar Michl was one of those fast and hard playing guards who took keen enjoyment in the game. He was a real asset to the team both in. playing and in his fighting spirit. Joe Hill was a fighting red-head, and in his po- sition at center he made a real blockade for the opposing team. He was the best jumper and often gave the Reds the tip-off. Herbert Wilson was another one of those fast thinking forwards and centers that help to make a winning team. His heart was in the game and he really played it. John Keys was the tall combination of center and guard that served the Reds so well against Uni- versity High of Bloomington. John took a number of balls off the bankboard to Decaturis advantage. Robert Spies had the kind of determination and fight that makes a real basketball player. Though quiet, he was a good guard and saved D. H. S. many griefs. Miclil J.

Maxine Roberts was captain of the successful junior team and with brilliant play led her team to victory. Mac was a wiry, speedy forward who caused opposing guards a lot of worry and constant hard work. She could sink a basket from almost any angle and was high point scorer of the tourna- ment. Christine Tartar was a quick guard whose hand shot out for the ball every time it was near. and not in vain. She guarded closely, and seldom did a player slip by her to ma.ke a goal. Esther Heavy Harlan's heavy guarding was a big reason that the junior team won the cham- pionship. She fought a fair and honest ganze and held her opponents to a few points. r I Rebecca Spec Kellar seems to have been un-ler a basketball jinx for two consecutive years. Ap- pendicitis was the cause of her absence from the team on tournament days this year. The champion- ship team missed her fast Hoor work and appreci- ated her helpful work during practice. Marie Finley was la fighting member of the guard family.. Her stick-to-it-iveness was an out- standing quality of the tournament. Mary Helen Yannier was another flashy for- ward whose heavy scoring piled up against the opposing team. Morphy was known as a scrappy forward, and she played a rapid game. Olive Ruth Martin was the tall center whose ability to get the tip off contributed much to the championship.

The Sophomore I team was victorious over the Sophomore H's. In the second game of the series, the junior team won from the Sophomore H team. The champion- ship game was a battle, and although the final score was 30-19, the sophomore girls kept the juniors on their guard during the entire game. Of the losers in the linal game, the outstanding players were Lauriene Roberts and Gladys Rob- erson. forwards, and Mary Pillnik and Jean Sattley, guards. Un the senior team were Merle Stringheld, captain, Charlouise Foster, Georgia Mae Horney, Dorothy Leonard, Annabelle McEvoy, Frances Eddy, Mary Gallagher, and Marie Robinson.

It was featured in the girls' advanced physical education class this year. This was a class of twelve girls, just large enough for two teams, and they took advantage of this opportunity to learn basketball more thoroughly. The girls who wished to be on the class teams for the tournament began practicing after school in November. At iirst they practiced shooting baskets from various angles and distances and also practiced methods of passing the hall: then they divided into temporary teams. The iinal step was the forming of the class teams. There were two sophomore teams, while the junior and senior classes each had one team. Practicing was continued between the class groups to improve team work and general ability until time for the tournament. The type of basketball played during the tournament proved that their drilling was not in vain. More time was given to concentration on basketball practice ht-cause of the necessary elimination of a few other sports.

Helen was chosen to receive the award by a committee composed of two' faculty members and a senior girl who is not a member of G. A. A. The selection was based upon sportsmanship, scholarship, and citizenship. Helen is an active member in the Girls, Athletic Association, having held the oflice of sergeant-at-arms during her senior year. Her willingness to co- operate, her leadership in whatever she undertakes, her unusual athletic ability. her dependability, and her excellent record in sportsmanship are some of the things which distinguish her and point her out as the winner of the award. Her ability to play and to cooperate with others and her perseverance have won her a place on teams-volleyball, baseball, basketball-and consequently enough points in G. A. A. to receive her D, H.

This year the girls are proud of the fact that they won recognition in the Illinois High School Athlete, a state publication. During the first semester members played soccer, tennis, and basketball. Second semester was devoted to the playing of volley ball and baseball. In addi- tion to these games, the girls won merit marks by tramping and swimming. At the beginning of the year, following the usual custom, the club gave a party to welcome the incoming sophomore girls. At Christmas time, before Mrs. Mearns, the adviser of the club and physical director of girls in the school, left Decatur, G. A. A. gave a party in her honor. Miss Sowden has now taken her place and is in charge of the organization. Page 139 CJ u . ii El' rl E 12 :i ' A is 5 .Q I l .12 ffl '3 - .

The advanced class of the first team devoted a great deal of its time to practice. Other classes also worked on a few of the simpler, beginning stunts. Since they had no mat-4, all classes had to give up their tumbling practice in the second semester. Forming pyramids was one of the most difficult features. Another one of the main accomplishments was diving over obstacles. A number of the advanced class acquired the skill of diving over seven girls. Many individual stunts. such as the Eskimo roll, Hips, high diving, diving through hoops, hand-stands. anl bend-backs, were also performed with dexterity. Cutstanding girls in the field of tumbling were Mary Gallagher, Marie Roh- inson, Olive Ruth Martin, Maxine Roberts, Merle Stringfield, Dorothy Radk,-, Charlouise Foster, and Rebecca Keller. No exhibition was given this year as in former years, but undergraduatts will continue practice during the coming year and strive to achieve more in this line of athletic work.

A. A. adviser in Decatur High School from 1925 until Christmas vacation, 1931, when she left to go to California. Under her the girls' athletic Work has attained a high standard. Miss Sowden, from Streator, has been appointed to take the position. She has had training at the University of Illinois. The girls are very happy to have such a capable instructor. Class work under both teachers has included fundamental or Danish gym- nastics one day each week. Learning folk dances is another part of the physical education course. Two of these are Little Elves and Gathering on the Green. The girls also spend some time in tap dancing. Threes, fives, sevens, and eights are the steps they learn. Dances to familiar tunes, such as Turkey in the Straw, are learned as well as a number of Waltzes, fox trots, and soldier dances. On some days the girls are allowed to play games such as end ball, dodge ball, jack, and drop-the-ball. This adds variety to the Work of the physical edu- cation classes. Page 142 IIII The deC'Ei'n0lS s ii.. . 1 l R fi Boqs' Phqsical Education Classes Class work that the boys do in the gymnasium does a great deal to help them develop their bodies. They develop not only their muscles but their minds as well. 'XYhile playing their games in gymnasium they learn good clean sport. Mr. Kintner had 230 boys under him in his physical education classes. They learned to obey orders in their exercises and to work in unisong as a result they developed the mind to think and work fast. The boys played basketball and indoor baseball. These games tended to strengthen the muscles and to put new ones into use. This work also trained them to control their bodies and to play the game hard and square to win. A basketball tournament was begun and held at noon during the boys' lunch hour but was never completed. XYhile it was going on a great deal of interest was shown from the other boys, the gymnasium being crowded for these games. Competition for some two hundred boys was allowed through these games.

It offers training in parliamentary law and extemporaneous speaking. It also develops leadership among the students and promotes sports- manship. The programs of the club have been varied.

' W Miss ROMANUS ....................... Adwscr ....................... MISS ROMANUS Se- The Deliberators, the School debating club, had a very successful Season and accomplished much toward the furtherance of good debate, despite the fact that ' only one member was a veteran debater. The question this year for the Big-Twelve debate was: Resolved, That the several States should enact legislation providing for compulsory unemploy- , ment insurance. The afitirmative was upheld by Dorothy XVilhel1ny, Eldon Strong, and Burke Coonradt. Charles Romanus acted as alternate for Burke Coonradt. The nega- A tive team was composed of Henry Bachrach, Henri Goldfinger, and Richard Bennett. Each team had debates with three other members of the Big-Twelve con- ference. The aftirmative debated against the negative teams of Urbana. Dan- ville, and Champaign. The negative team debated against the afilirmative teams of Mattoon, Springtield, and Peoria Central.

Prose and Poetrq Clubs PROSE CLUB First Semester Second Semester Miss BARNES . ......................... Advixcr ......................... .. Miss STAP1' Prose Club had two new advisers this year, Miss Barnes during the first semester, and Miss Stapp, the second. No officers were elected since the meet- ings were carried on very informally. The members brought original prose com- positions to the meetings. These bits of prose, in the form of essays, short stories, or editorials, were read and discussed. Much constructive criticism was offered, which roused members to their best efforts in production. Prose Club sponsors Fantasies, a booklet of prose selections written by students through- out the school. POETRY CLUB First Semester Second Semester RALPH GREGORY .... .............. P resident .... .. RALPH GREGORY Miss STAPP ........................... Adviser ......................... Miss STAPP This year, Poetry Club had Miss Stapp as its adviser. For the first time in many years the club elected a president, Ralph Gregory serving in that capacity both semesters. The meetings were held in the domestic science dining room, and were conducted rather informally. The members brought original poems to the meetings. These poems, some serious, some humorous, were read and discussed in round-table fashion. Each year Poetry Club sponsors the publica- tion of Fragments, a booklet containing the best poems written during the year by high school students.

These gay garments were called j'oseph's coats. This was their sewing project. Then they studied food-values. Many interesting talks were given, and the uses of various foods demonstrated. I At Christmas time the girls held a candy sale in the school building. They also hlled baskets for the needy and sent them to the Salvation Army for dis- tribution. Social activities consisted of a Christmas party and a tea each semester to welcome new members. Following the usual custom, the club presented a gift to the Home Econom- ics Department. The gift this year was curtains for the kitchen. Page 154 First Semester BURKE COONRADT . GREGORY LIARKLEY .lUNIoR LIAIENTHAL LUc1EN FREEMAN . JOE HENcs1' ......

To win this cup the society must be successful for three successive years. Rotaro missed it by one year only. The boys spent much time the first semester in practising for a basketball game with Forum, and preparing for the annual literary contest. Second semester was given over to creating and developing among the mem- bers an appreciation of literature. The general topic was Great Men in Lit- erature. Biographies were read and reports made. There was also a debate with Forum on Resolved, That chain stores are detrimental.

The good ship Dee 'ache Ess at last is embarked and is already fioundering about the sea of Edu- cation, which includes hunting elevators, puzzled looks, et celery. just nine more months and all will be o'er-we hope. Wednesday, Sept. 9. Sophomores, soph- omores, everywhere, and hardly a soul one knows. All last year pals are sichi- ated on another fioor or at the opposite end of halls. Sophs are unusually large and these retiring seniors could easily hide behind a couple of them. The eter- nal cooers are all busy hunting each other's lockers. Hain't luff grand? Thursday, Sept. 10. Ah mel Our pro- gram looks like a Chinese puzzle. After standing in line for three hours and half a lunch period we find the Geography class full up. Oh, well, not so bad, as we eat fourth and fifth hours, both. Friday, Sept. 11. And still the people flock for changes. Of course Mr. Sprung- er dusted off his annual proclamation about no changes after Monday, but this old sage knows better. It just ain't possible to put 68 or 5 in an English class, and it is very much against the law of personal pride for a boy to find him- self in the cooking room. Monday, Sept. 14. The noses seem to go to the grindstone today, in dead earn- est. And isn't American history great sport? Oh, Yeah! Miss Larimore is speaking English with a French accent, due to an extensive vacation on the Con- tinent. A-hem. Tuesday, Sept. 15. jean Livergood has gone native, or plebian, or something, with a new automobile Caccent on the mo, we learn from Sally McEvoy, who finds the North more suited to her tastesj. The Ford, for such it is, is a brilliant red, and runs like any other machine its age. Wednesday, Sept. 16. Ain't there no depression? Gertie McLean also has a car. CThe word really isn't used sarcas- ticallyl. It's a charming number, named Elmore -a back one to say the least- and it sits out in front with the best of em. Thursday, Sept. 17. NYhen sophs ask where they can find that popular English teacher, Miss Arbuthnot, we can only say that devil Cupid shot a fexv arrows during the summer and she is now Mrs. G. A. Papperman of Chicago.

XVe also note that Vere and Mary Frances are quite inseparable. Tough luck, ladies: 'stoo bad. T.-Q...- Tuesday, Sept. 22. Boneeruslier Gregory has found a way to exercise his 10 inch muscles. He tosses a pretty pink yo-yo about in the ozone. Even that doesn't decrease his popularity. He's narrowed his PUBLIC down to about six, as we gits it. Wednesday, Sept. 23. The last of the away-to-schoolers have wended their way out of our fair city. Our school lost a popular red-head in Emily Jane NVood, popularly known as Ollie, Also reports float in from out at Millikin that all isn't so easy as it was up at the public insti- tute. Thursday, Sept. 24. Ch-Ch-Chapman is grejully getting over the thought that there is a good looking gel in the corner drug store at Notre Dame. It is reported that she bought a few yards of purty blue baby ribbon so she could tie up 'er epistles. Friday, Sept. 25.

XVe is no better nor they is, and they is no better nor we is. Translated: Decatur, 03 Peoria Cen- tral, 0. Monday, Sept. 28. Dale Hamilton is giving his most radical opines on the world-wide economic policies just about every day, much to the utter distress of Mr. LeMarr.

Gaylord Tohill and Virginia lYeiss believe that lockers should be ten feet wide, that the library, pooblic and school both, should be unfrequented at certain hrs. of the day, and that at least a half hour per day should be set aside for romancing. As we half re- marked, lufif is still grand. Friday, Oct. 2. The much-looked-for- ward-to Observer at last has appeared. The Sophs take it all in while the Jrs. and Srs. know enough to turn at once to Betty's letter. They soon learn that to crash the Letter is a mark of rateship, or something. Saturday, Oct. 3. Another scoreless tie! XYillard Ray, the big ol' uncouther, humped on a poor itty bitty Lincoln man's necky-wecky, causing a flurry of roughy ol' words and meanie ol' looks. Again Peggs is popular, and the athletic board considers electric fans and showers for every one's comfort. Monday, Oct. 5. XVell. well, well! El- oise is following in the steps of Nank Brown. And Paul Hill, uneligible for basketball the second semester, has been somewhat pacitied by being made Sports Editor of the Dec. And much to the Decanois' good luck, Carolyn and Mar- ian will take care of the art work. Tuesday, Oct. 6., Miss Foran is quite the nertz, if ye don't mind. Popularity plus for the former English teacher and adviser! Present observations, if they can be depended upon, mean bigger and better English classes. don't have a vacation thrust upon us while the teachers are out stuting. Dean Coffman has formally announced that he will be an All-American football end at Alabama during 1933, '34 and '35. Paul Doolen also suggests that Alabama will have a terrible Irishman playing fullback during those three years. Thursday, Oct. 8. This vacation has forced followers of the old Scottish game to dig out the clubs hid away last Septem and again battle the bunkers and sand- traps. Among the most persistent divot diggers are Charles Kost XVhite. Char- lie's got a new set of clubs during the summer and has been abusing them ever since. Friday, Oct. 9. The weiner roast-dance at Mueller's was a big success, with ev- erybody dancing with everybody else's date. That Homes gel does not dance to suit Chas. so she is tossed aside like a Page 163 worn out doll fsobs and sound of run- ning water from the wings.l The same nicht Mr. P. Hill was reported to have skinned his nose as Urbana defeated the Reds, 7 to 6, but it was later discovered that the skinned nose story was an old newspaper fantasy. Monday, Oct. 12. Back to the grind. Cec Coffin sez it's easier to get some shut-eye on the library tables than on a study hall desk 'cause there aren't so many drawings and names to look at crosseyed. Tuesday, Oct. 13. Jim Heaton has shaved his cooky cutter. XYhether this will be for better or worse remains to be seen. VVith cold weather comin' he's liable to be hunting for an upper lip muff- ler. Wednesday, Oct. 14. Nathan Hayes fthe plus-fours boyl is giving Marian Logan's home room door a lot of atten- tion and exercise-perhaps he thinks it's a garden gate. Thursday, Oct. 15. Bob Holiday Cplus eights for himl is still taking care of the new sophomore fems. And by the way, are there ever some neat girlies up from the Junior Highs? It's been a month since they arrived, having their inning. Friday, Oct. 16. ball team traveled Eggwipte and let but they are surely Our big, burly feet down into Littwell a leetle feller run around, under, across, and about them for a 21 to 7 victory. Tskl Tskl Monday, Oct. 19. Lots and lots of New Guinea savages dashed about the audy as the Observer staf:f's money-making pic- ture busted a few dozen times.
