N ,J With pride and pleasure Decatur High School honors Theodore Coleman, the first boy graduate of Decatur High School. In 1868 he received his diploma as a member of the second class to be graduated from this school. He was the first male graduate because the class of 1867 was made up entirely of girls. Mr. Coleman is now eighty-three years of age. With him in his class were four girls: Clara Alli- son, now Mrs. C. M. Imbodeng Fannie johns, later Mrs. Sedgwickg Ruth Crissey, now Mrs. Cornell of Streatorg and Jennie Newell, who became Mrs. Wilson. Mrs. Sedgwick and Mrs. Wilson are dead. Mr. Coleman's parents came to Decatur in 1855, and his father, john W. Coleman, established the first high school in the city. This was a private school, or academy, as that was the term applied to such a school in those days. This should not be confused with the original Decatur High, established a few years later by the late E. A. Gastman. Mr. Coleman gives an interesting' account of his high school days. He explains that the school room was in the basement of the Baptist Church, which at that time was located on the northeast corner of Water and William Streets. There were only three grade schools, known as ward schools, namely, the Sangamon, the Wood, and the Big Brick . The curriculum was planned by the principal, and the students had no choice but to follow it to the letter. The first year's work consisted of arithmetic, algebra, grammar, and spelling. Various forms of these, together with geography and the rudiments of historv, consumed the next two years. In the last year there was composition, geometry, trigonometry, bookkeeping, and Latin or German. 0ur Commencement day, says Mr. Coleman, was on june 2, 1868. The exercises were held in the evening in the old Powers Hall on the third floor above Greider's restaurant. I delivered an oration entitled, 'Illinoisz Its Past, Present and Future' Fannie Johns read a horoscope of the class, Clara Alli- son read an essay entitled, 'What Next,' which caused some merriment since she was married shortly after commencement. Mr. Coleman was one of the founders of the D. H, S. Alumni Association and of the Y. M. C. A. in Decatur. He is the oldest member of the Masonic Lodge in Decatur and at present is living in the Masonic Home at Sullivan. Miss Mary English was graduated from the De- catur High School in 1884. From 1901 until her resignation in 1932 she taught Latin is the high school, and served as head of the language depart- ment. For many years she was senior class adviser, So closely is the history and development of the high school identified with her that the senior class of 1935 wishes to express its appreciation of her service to the school. :sg r For thirty years Miss Olive Bear was a teacher in the Decatur High School. In 1929 she was forced to resign from the faculty because of poor health. At the time of her resignation she was head of the English Department. The high school regards her as a valuable friend and desires to honor her in this issue of the Decanois, for which she was a most capable adviser. atinual Svrhnlatatir Iirraa Aaanrtatinn 1954 ALL-AMERICAN YEARBOOK CRITICAL SERVICE m ay ' WZ 753 Q .

They grade these books according to their merits, issuing a certificate of rating to each. The All-American award is the highest honor to be given. This is awarded to a small number of annuals yearly but, as yet, has never been given to the Decanois. The second highest rating, that of Superior, was won by the 1934 Decanois. In scoring the annuals for awards, the books are divided into classes based upon the number of students in the schools represented. Each phase of the book is not only scored but a written criticism to explain the scoring is mailed to the school sending the annual. Printing, photography, and engraving are considered along with the financial rating of the book. The amount of space given to school activities, the kind of activities represented, the snapshots, and features are other items criticized. Each year the rating of the previous Decanois is of particular value to the 116W Decanois staff. D a U I . gy, v --, X W . A 1. , V 1 . m r' 1 , 4 ff , I, V, . . ,l,-'4 - . ,q.

Bachelor degrees equal to four years of college training are required. There are sixteen of Decatur High School faculty who have master's degrees. This fact tends to raise the standard of qualification for teachers. In a few years, a master's degree will probably be a requirement here as it is in many schools at present. Fifteen semester hours of theory of teaching is required, and the applicant must have majored in the subjects he is to teach. Thirty semester hours is needed to obtain a master's degree in education. There are 1,856 students enrolled in Decatur High School. The present faculty numbers sixty, excluding the principal and the deans. The average number of students for each teacher every day is one hundred and fifty. The English department is the largest, having twelve teachers. The social science, science, and business departments are next in size. N M. AS THE SOWING, THE REAPIN6 As a background for all group pictures, the Decanois uses the Sylvester mural in the high school library. The critics at the Illinois High School Press Association praised the group pictures because of their uniform and beauti- ful background. This mural, As the Sowing, the Reapingu, painted by Frederick Oakes Sylvester, covers the south wall of the library. It represents the Mis- sissippi River as Mr. Sylvester saw it from his home in Illinois. It is regarded as the most noble and poetic landscape mural-decoration ever produced in America. Mr. Sylvester was a poet-artist. He not only painted scenes of the Mississippi, but he also Wrote a volume of poems, The Great River , which expresses his love for this river. Two other valuable paintings were made of the Mississippi by Mr. Sylvester, but As the Sowing, the Reaping is con- sidered by far his greatest Work of art. F . J ,, 4 9 0 llu -ve. JA -7' J . a'.

The executive body is made up of a group of students called The Student Council . In their meetings they not only have business discussions, but they also have special programs. This consists of musical numbers, readings, etc. The sophomores also organized a sort of booster section to sit together at basket- ball games. The class published a small paper for its members. This, too, is a new idea in our high school. SOPHOMORE COUNCIL Back row: McClimans, Flynn, Loeb, Shelton.

Its objectives are: To promote taste for good literature, to study essay writing, to become effi- cient in the use of parliamentary law, to improve English, and to improve gen- eral culture. The first semester of the club was devoted to preparation for the inter- society contest. Ruth Ross placed first in the dramatic event of this contest. One of the most interesting subjects of the year was the study of famous nov- els and authors. Three motion pictures, The Barretts of Wimpole Street , l'David Copperfield , and The Last Gentleman , were attended by the so- ciety. In addition to the literary achievements of the society, the members as- sisted at the Decatur Day Nursery during the Christmas holidays.

By winning the Deam Cup for three consecutive years, the society gained its permanent possession. This year Forum won third place in the close-scoring inter-society contest. Two of the contests were won by Forum, oration and extemporaneous reading. Mr. Paul LeMarr is adviser of the society. OFFICERS Harris Beck . . . ....

So close was the competition between the two societies that Rotaro wished to share the honors with Agora. The Chief aims of the society is to improve the public speaking and the literary knowledge of its members. This is accomplished by oral reports and speaking within the club. During the year several speakers addressed the society among whom were Mr. XX'hite, Mr, Sprunger, and Mr. Robinson of Millikin University. Miss Romanus is the adviser of Rotaro.

INTER-SOCIETY CONTEST Joanne McDavid Interpretative Straley Heaton Humorous Ruth Ross Dramatic Paul Swarm Oration George Walraven Extemporaneous The inter-society contest of 1934 was an unusually close-scoring one. Rotaro won the contest by a margin of one-half point above Agora when the final scores were summed up. Forum literary society, although winning two of the contests, received third place, when Aristos placed fourth. Rotaro is the iirst society to gain possession of the new loving cup which Mr. Sayre procured for the contest. This cup is offered under the same condi- tions as the Deam Cup, to be gained permanently when a society wins it in three consecutive years. Forum won the Deam Cup permanently last year. The contests were judged alternately by Mr. and Mrs. McNabb of Milli- kin University. THE DECANOIS I935 THE PRlNCIPAL'S CUP Mr. Deam, who was principal of the Decatur High School before Mr. Sayre and who is now a teacher in the -loliet Township High School, started a tradition among the literary societies during his administration in our school. Each year an intersociety contest was to be held. Agora, Forum, Aristos, and Rotaro were to be the contestants. Humorous reading, extem- poraneous speaking, dramatic reading, oration, and interpretive reading were to be the subjects of the contest, The object of the contest was to promote friendly rivalry among the literary societies. The society winning the greatest number of points in the contest each year was to have its name engraved upon a beautiful silver trophy cup. If any society won the contest three years in succession, the cup was to be- come the permanent possession of this society. Last year Forum won the con- test for the third consecutive time and the Deam Cup became its property. For this year's contest, Mr. Sayre presented a cup to be held under the Same ruling as the Deam cup. 'f i- 3. r sp, '-. 103 MASK AND WIG Top row: Heaton, Hess, Deffenhaugh, Meador.

It meets every Tuesday with Miss Adelaide Pease as adviser. Each semester new talent is discovered at the tryouts for membership. Those who have vocal ability and are interested in singing are eligible for the tryouts. Some of the favorite compositions the girls sing are: Angels O'er the Fields by Davison, Rain by Curran, My Mother Bids Me Bind My Hair by Haydn, and Dark Eyes by Treharne. The girls in the Double Quartette, Norma Dotson, Ada Marie Heckel, Eleanor Brown, Beatrice Dickman, and Elsie Arnold, rehearsed the songs for the All State Chorus with Five boys. The Double Quartette sang for several auditoriums, the Lincoln program, the lnter-Society Contest program, and the members gave several selections on the Glee Club Concerts. Although both clubs accomplished a remarkable piece of work separately, as a unit they achieved a well-deserved record. Three large programs were given this year: The Christmas Vesper Service, the opera, Mlle. Modistev, and the Spring Concert, , OFFICERS Eleanor Brown ...... . . . President . . . . .

Although this was Miss Pease' first year at Decatur High School, with the cooperation of all the boys she pre- sented several beautiful programs throughout the year. The club sent Five boys: Kenneth Black, Paul Swarm, Frederic Hachett, Errol Odor, and Francis Rogier to the All State Chorus in Champaign last November. lt is a great honor for Decatur High School to have five boys accepted since only two hundred boys and girls are selected from seven hun- dred schools in the state. The club meets only one day a week, but a great deal is accomplished in that short period. Some of the most beautiful compositions they sang were: VVater Boy by Robinson, Street Fair from Sketches of Paris by Man- ning, and The Galway Piper by Fletcher. The club meets jointly with the Girls, Glee Club the last three days of the week. Kenneth Black acted as student director. OFFICERS Kenneth Black . .. .. . President . .. . .

Modiste , under the direction of Miss Adelaide Pease and Miss Edna Robertson. Performances were given on March 26, 28, 29 to capacity houses. There were eighty-nine in the cast including fourteen principals and choruses of milliners, soldiers, footmen, dancers, and flower and cigarette girls. Leading parts were taken by Maria Karelas as Fifi , Kenneth Black as Captain Etienne , Harris Beck as Count Henri de Bouvray , Eleanor Brown as Mme Cecile , Errol Odor as Gaston , Paul Swarm as Hiram Bent , and Beatrice Dickman as Mrs, Hiram Bent . The setting of the first act was Mme. Cecile's Parisian Hat Shop. The pastel costumes against the gold and silver background made the scene most colorful. Special lighting effects added to the beauty of the dance numbers. The French military uniforms worn by the soldiers lent zest to the picture. The first scene of Act Two was laid in the count's dining room where the Footmen were dressed in bright red uniforms. The last scene was the Charity Bazaar in the moonlit garden of the Chateau de St. Mar. Gaily decorated booths and elaborate japanese lanterns gave charm to the festive occasion where the guests were entertained with songs and dances. The characterization was extremely well-handled and the musical effects were very beautiful.

The clubs were assisted by a string and woodwind ensemble, a brass choir, and a clarinet quartette from the high school orchestra. Kenneth Black and Ada Marie Heckel were soloists, and the Double Quartette gave special numbers. Some of the outstanding numbers on the program were: In Mirth and in Gladnessw by Niedtg Ye Watchers and Ye Holy Ones , a seventeenth century German Melody, arranged by Fisher, Beautiful Savior , a twelfth century melody, by Christiansen, Oh, Blest Are They by Tschaikovvsky- Caing Virgin's Slumber Song by Regerg and a special arrangement of Silent Nightn by Grtiber-Wetzel. This year the program of beautiful sacred songs was brought to a close by a recessional, a fitting close for this service. THE DECANOIS I935 JUNIOR CHORUS The Junior Chorus, under the direction of Miss Pease, is a new organiza- tion this year. The boys meet on Monday as a Junior Boys' Glee Club and the girls meet on Tuesday as a Junior Girls' Glee Club. The two groups meet together the rest of the week and form the Junior Chorus. The purpose of this organization is to train singers for the mixed Chorus and to take care of the overflow from try-outs for that group. A number of persons from the Junior Chorus took part in the opera, Mlle. Modiste and the entire group was combined with the Senior Chorus to sing for the Easter Sunrise Service at Nelson Park on April 21. The follow- ing numbers were sung on that occasion: Untold Ye Portals by Gounod, Listen to the Lambs by Dett, and The Lord Bless You and Keep You by Lutkin. The climax of the year's work was the performance of the cantata, Lore from the Saga of Eric the Red by Paul Bliss. OFFICERS JUNIOR GIRLS' GLEE CLUB Barbara McMurry Alice Crane ......

As in former years the Red- coats played at all basketball and football games. They gave the team encour- agement during intermissions with our school songs and some popular selections. Robert Shelton, majestically maneuvering his baton, led the band in letter formation both of our school and the rival team. The band cooperated throughout the year with school functions. Their programs included: G. A. A. Tumbling Team auditorium St. Teresa's opening basketball game Numerous auditoriums Earl Huff again filled the position of student director when Mr. Rees was unable to attend. The annual Band and Grchestra Concert was a fitting close for the season. Cabins is an American rhapsody of modernistic version by Gillette. Williani Vest dedicated his saxophone solo, lily Regards , by Llewellyn, to his father. The modern tone poem Vistas by Gillette was dedicated to the Redcoats who have died. XValter Emch, head of the Theory department in the Millikin Con- servatory, acted as guest conductor of his composition Redcoat Alumni , spe- cially written and dedicated to all former Redcoats. The closing number was Headlines by Carlton Colby, dedicated to all Decatur newspapers and carriers. This is a modernistic rhapsody picturing an impressionistic reflection of the violent pact of modern life. The music reflects the pressroom, resounding to the rhythm of the daily human struggle, grinding out Headlines of war, fire, life, death, and crimeg Headlines -the rhythm of life!

Three numbers were played. The first suite, Prince Ado1 ', by Cornelius Rybner consists of four lovely tunes. The story of this suite is of Prince Ador and Princess Beane who are lovers. Prince Ador rescues Princess Beane from danger by using a sceptre of a wicked fairy. As a token of his love he gives Princess Beane the sceptre. NVhen the fairy finds this out she changes the princess into an ill-looking be- ing, but Prince Ador gets help from a good fairy, and saves Princess Beane. The numbers of the suite are, Dance of the Demons , Dance of the Gyp- sies , Pas de Deux , and Ballabile . The second number on the program was Poupee Yalsante' by E. Poldini. This number is a solo for the Hute and is very light and graceful. The third suite, The Mississippi Suite by Ferdie Grofe is a very modern number. The first number in this suite Father of the Waters portrays the majestic river rolling toward the Gulf. The second number Huckleberry Finn depicts Samuel Clemens character Huck with its tricky, lively rhythm. The next number Old Creole Days portrays the old South, and the last number Mardi Gras is a lively number describing the annual festival at New Grleans. Mr. Rees began a new orchestra this year. This orchestra consists of twenty-five members chosen from the large group. They practice on Monday and lVednesday evenings, after school. Qnly dance music is studied. This orchestra, as well as the large orchestra, played at many public gatherings. - 3 TRI-Y Top row: Schmitt, Richardson, Huston, Pieck, Hayes, Cashen, Flynn, Harp, Gunkle, Holderby, Collenberger.

It is open to all high school girls but because of a national scout ruling the membership is limited to 32. This number has not yet been reached. 1 The organization should be of interest to both old and new Scouts. The program is sufhciently advanced to appeal to anyone interested in out of door work. The most important functions this year have been the birthday party, the Mothers Tea, the hike for .lohns Hill girls and the overnight hike. Back row: Muffley, Staber, Banks, Yaegel, Turney.

To obtain this objective art of all nations and races was studied. This year modern art was studied. Several visits to the Art Institute were made this year to hear intersting lectures on exhibits of paintings, drawings, sculptures, and craftwork. A Halloween dance, Graveyard Shivers , was held in the gym, and proceeds from the dance went to purchase a Philco Radio for the drawing room. Elaborate decorations and a splendid floor show made this one of the outstanding dances of the year. OFFICERS XVilliam Kelley ..... President .. .... Harry Harper Henrietta Dawson .....

H. S. COACHES COACH GAY KINTNER Decatur has enjoyed another successful year in athletics under the coach- ing' of Gay Kintner. This success is a reflection of the results Mr. Kintner has had with his teams since he began coaching. During the seven years that he has been at Decatur High School, his teams have won the Big Twelve tournament and the state championship. This year the Reds were runner up in the district championship, losing the final game by one point. Nr. Kintner's success is due largely to his method of training. He teaches his teams the science of the game, instills in them team spirit, and he pro- duces in them the desire to win. Not only does Mr. Kintner strive to build winning teams, but he also teaches them to play cleanly and sportsmanly. COACH FRANCIS WHITE I935 Much of Decatur's athletic success is due to Mr. XYhite who serves as track coach as well as assistant to Mr. Kintner. Each fall Mr. XYhite takes the sophomore candidates for football and drills them thoroughly in the fun- damentals of the game. This training is evidently a great aid, as may be seen by the fact that it is nearly always the recruits from the reserves who furnish material for Decatur's teams. Mr. XYhite has produced outstanding track teams since he has been v. ith Decatur High School. Much of Mr. XYhite's coaching ability was derived from his actual play- ing experience at the Illinois State Normal University, where he became a great athlete. lYhile at that school he earned two letters in football, four letters in baseball, and a blanket, which is the highest award given at I.S.N.U. 127 FOOTBALL ROSTER Quarterbacks A ubrey Taylor Victor Cressler Fullbacks Charles Kinney Floyd Hwrrison Tackles Farl Crabtree Fdward Delbridge Robert Ray .lack Sniick Louis Grainnier Leroy Crum bl acl: Galloway Cuard D nnald fii1'L11llll'OI1 Stralev Heaton lfrantis Markland john Pier Carol Ford Centers Neil Morgan Claude lnnian Howard Gould Halfbacks Robert Gross Fred Pennington Victor Wfalters .Tack Hurtt Guy Landers Clarence Kalins Ends Dale Deibert Donald Moreland Riley McDax'id .Tack Couglilin Sain .Tones Charles Ellis XYalter Schlie THE DECANOIS I935 l FOOTBALL SEASON Decatur High School Reds opened their 1934 football season away from home with a 7-0 victory over Centralia. The lone score of the game came in the first quarter as a result of a forward pass from Aubrey Taylor to Captain Deibert. Heavy rains before and during the game made it impos- sible for good ball carrying and ball handling. The Red's first conference game was with Urbana. In spite of un- favorable weather Decatur's line plays worked well. Early in the third quarter, after a determined drive, Taylor went over from the one yard stripe for the only score of the game, The third game was played in a sea of mud and water at Alton. After four rough hard fought quarters, the score still remained 0-0. The next encounter was with Bloomington. The Red's title hopes re- ceived a severe jolt as a result of the excellent running of Al Nathan and Ben Swartz. Each scored one touchdown. The score was 13-0 for Bloomington. The Red's third conference game was played against the unbeaten and unscored against gridders of Danville. Coach Whitesell's boys did not threaten seriously once, and Rusty Owens, sensational halfback, was stopped entirely. A sleeper pass' to Captain Dale Deibert set the stage for the lone score of the game. Taylor carried the ball over and the try for the extra point was good. A crowd of 3500 people saw this game at Danville. In the battle for city supremacy a hard fighting St. Teresa team held the highly favored Reds to a 0-0 tie. A touchdown pass to Brinkoetter, op- posing end, was not allowed as he stepped out of bounds to make the catch. In the last home game of the season, the Reds dropped a heartbreaking 7-6 decision to Charleston. The kick from placement for the extra point struck the goal post and this proved to be the difference between victory and defeat. Finally after two postponements the Peoria Central game was played. The Reds fumbled and gave the game to Peoria 1-1-8. This game was the first without Chuck Kinney and he was sorely missed. The Reds displayed a sensational fourth quarter passing attack in their encounter with Mattoon. The game tied with a 13-13 score. Taylor did most of the passing with Harrison and Hurtt on the receiving end. The Decatur High School football squad closed its 193-l football season with the annual Springfield Thanksgiving game. Playing in the muddy Springfield ball park, the Kintnermen went down on the small end of a 52-0 score. Springfieldls heavier and more experienced team proved to be too much for Decatur. However the Reds showed until the final whistle that they could take it. Dale Deibert Dale was an outstanding captaing his offensive and de- fensive play was the feature of Decatur's line. For his great work he was chosen captain of the All Big Twelve Conference second team. He is a senior. Charles Kinney Although Chuck was not with us at the start or close of the season, he more than made up for this during the games in which he played. He was always the best de- fensive man of the field, and his blocking was nearly per- fect. Don Grummon Don had an excellent sea- son at guard this year. He was the fastest man on the team, and his speed was evi- dent when he caught many ball carriers from behind, His services will be missed next year. Floyd Harrison Streaky played with the reserves last season but made good with the regulars this year. He excelled in off- tackle smashes. His services will be missed next year. Earl Crabtree Speedwell is another one of Coach White's graduates. Midway in the season he was shifted from the backfield to the line. He paired with Bob Ray at tackle. This vias his last year. FOOTBALL LETTERMEN Aubrey Taylor Taylor played his last year for Decatur High at quarter- back. He was the mainstay of the offense and his pass- ing featured many of the games. Straley Heaton Straley ended his football career at Decatur High as a guard. He played his great- est game at Danville, and his defensive play was always outstanding. He was honor- able mention for conference honors. Claude Inman Claude was the regular center this year. He rarely made a bad pass, and his de- fensive work was always good. He is a senior. Robert Ray Although Bob had just come up from Roosevelt, he made a great showing. He was a first string tackle all year. He will be back next year. jack I-Iurtt Although Jack was unable to play in the first three games because of a shoulder injury, he made a great showing during the rest of the season. His passing and offensive play were outstand- ing. He will be missed next year, THE DECANOIS l935 Donald Moreland Although Don is a senior, this was his first year of foot- ball at Decatur High. Even though he was injured dur- ing most of the season, he participated in nearly all of the games. Dorsey Humphrey Dorsey injured his shoul- der at the beginning of the season and was unable to play. Francis Markland Marky was a veteran of two years standing, but this year he got in enough quar- ters at guard to merit a let- ter. He is a senior. Walter Schlie Walt was injured most of the year and had very little opportunity to display his greatest asset-speed. XVhen he was able to play, he did well. He is a senior. Victor Cressler Vic played his last year at quarterback. When he was on the held, he was always outstanding for his stubborn defensive work. FOOTBALL LETTERMEN Fred Pennington Fred was a fast and elusive ball carrier. He could always be counted upon for some sort of a gain. He will be l:ack next year. Robert Gross Bob played the entire year at halfback. Although he was a good ball carrier, he ex- celled as a punter. In the Centralia game with a wet ball he punted three times over fifty-five yards. Riley McDavid Riley, who played with the reserves last year, was an end on the first squad this season. His aggressive, fighting spirit was a factor in his success. He will not be back next year. Jack Smick This was ,lack's second season on the first squad at tackle. His even steady play- ing throughout the year was very characteristic. He is a senior. John Pier John was another guard who got his start with the reserves. His quiet earnest- ness marked him. He will be missed next season. Edward Delbridge Ed was one of our tackles. His steady, depend- able playing was a factor in winning. He is a senior. jack Coughlin ,Tack is another senior who finished his career as an end. He always fought to the last and never gave up. Howard Gould 'Abe played his last year at Decatur Highas a center. His sincerity was his out- standing characteristic. Decatur 7 .... Decatur 6' .. Decatur O . . . Decatur O .. Decatur 7 ..

He proved his ability as a basketball player by making the All-conference team. Dorsey Humphrey Dorsey Humphrey was an- other one of the players that Decatur lost at the end of the first semester. For the first half of the season he was al- ways lighting hard for the team. Dale Deibert When Dale Deibert was on the Hoor he was always tight- ing for the ball. Many De- catur baskets were scored as a result of Dale's taking the ball from the other team. joe Murphy Joe Murphy didn't play on the first team until the sec- ond semester, but he played a good game at center. Dale Cochran Dale Cochran, although he graduated at the end of the flrst semester, helped the team out a great deal. Dale was always in the thick of the game, giving his best. BASKETBALL LETTERMEN Aubrey Taylor Last year's captain, Aub- rey Taylor was always a dan- gerous man for the opposing team to run up against. In losing Taylor at the end of the first semester, Decatur lost an excellent player. Fred Pennington Fred Pennington was the little boy who had such a good eye for the basket on one-handed shots. We are very fortunate in having Freddie back with us again next year. Junior Thompson Junior Thompson played a good game at center for the team this year. He will be back to help the boys out again next season. Scott Page Scott Page was that hard lighting little forward who played so hard for the team. Scott will not be back with us next year. Everett Adams Everett Adams was one of the last year's reserve players who proved to be very reli- able to the team. Everett did most of his scoring for De- catur on long shots. THE DECANOIS Robert Green Robert Green was another of last year's reserve players who made this year's varsity. Robert was a little man, but proved dangerous to his op- ponents by his expert ball handling and quick shooting. BASKETBALL LETTERMEN BASKETBALL SEASON Keith Henderson Keith Henderson, a swift and nimble forward, is one of the seniors whom the team will miss next year. He also played on the reserves last year. The Decatur High Reds opened their 1934-35 campaign on December Sth I935' i with an impressive 34-10 victory over the Illinois School for the Deaf. XVith four veterans and one newcomer in the lineup, the Reds presented a sturdy defense and a smooth offense. The outcome was never in doubt. Over 1200 persons witnessed the contest.

Springfield: From the starting whistle to the final gun the Springfield game was a thriller. The Reds did well against their highly touted rivals and were ahead 14-13 with two minutes to play. However a one handed shot by Springfield's center decided the contest. - Bement: The night after the Springfield battle the Reds appeared again and defeated Bement 28-20. Charleston: The Reds celebrated the Christmas holidays by trouncing Charleston 27-13. This avenged the heartbreaking 7-6 loss in football.

The Reds jumped to an early lead and the outcome was never in doubt after the first quarter. Danville: The next game was with the league leading Danville team. The Reds made a great stand but finally lost 29-24. This was Danville's ninth straight victory. Urbana: Urbana furnished the opposition for the next game. The Reds jumped to an early lead and piled up eleven points before Urbana finally tallied. The score was 39-24 for Decatur. Beardstown: The following night the Reds fell before Beardstown by a score of 20-12. This was the last game for Aubrey Taylor, Dorsey Humph- rey and Dale Cochran. With the help of these three basketeers the Reds' record at mid semester was ten victories against four defeats. Brocton: The next game was a charity contest with Brocton High School. These visitors, who have one of the greatest records in the state, proved a little too much for the Reds and annexed an 18-17 victory. The boys who graduated during the week were sorely needed. Bloomington: The Reds reentered Big Twelve competition and were defeated by Bloomington 20-19. This was the second game in a row to be dropped by a one point margin. Rantoul: The night after the Bloomington game Rantoul was defeated by Decatur 27-22. St. Teresa: In a return game with St. Teresa the Reds were defeated 23-22.

The game was close throughout but Joe Murphy's free throw made the margin of victory. I. S. D.: In the last scheduled game of the season the Reds flashed great form to win from the I. S. D. 22-18. District Tournament: The Red men romped through their first games in the district tournament by an easy margin, having only four field goals scored against them. However, they seemed to have spent their luck before their final game with Clinton. Clinton played a slow game to come out the winner of a hard fought 12-11 battle. The fans had plenty of thrills when Fred Pennington had three winning baskets drop in only to roll around and come out. BASKETBALL SCORES Decatur 34 ...... I. S. D. Decatur ....

MISS VANCE Miss Edith Doloras Vance, teacher of physical training for girls, has finished her first year in Decatur High School. Miss Vance is a graduate of the University of Illinois. During her university life she took part in volleyball, apparatus, soccer, baseball, bowling, ping-pong, and tennis. For two years she was captain of her soccer team and for the same length of time captain of her apparatus team. In 1933 she not only won the singles championship in ping-pong but the doubles championship in bowling. The XYomen's Athletic Association awarded her the Gold Seal that same year for successful and consistent participation in activities. Miss Vance was a member of Terrapin, honorary swimming organization, for three years. During the summer of l934 she taught swimming at the Y. XY. C. A. pool in Springfield, Illinois. THE DECANOIS G. A. A. SPORTSMANSHIP AWARD I935 l Achievements in girls' athletics, sportsmanship, scholarship and leader- ship-these are bases for the G, A. A. Sportsmanship Award presented each year to a senior girl. Faye Collins was chosen this year because of the variety of her achieve- ments. Not only should the girl be a leader, but she must also co-operate with her teachers and her classmates. And in all phases of G. A. A. work she should show herself to be a good sport. Faye has proved outstanding in all of these requirements. Besides her ath- letic ability, she has also maintained her scholastic standing. Faye has served as president of G. A. A., has won the first and second awards, the state numeral and letter, and she has acquired her points consis- tently from year to year. She has been chosen as an all-around good sport. VOLLEYBALL SENIOR VOLLEYBALL First row: Beck, Cruse, Livesey. Second row: Brady, Johnson, Corrington. There are three girls' volley ball teams, one for each class in school. In order to have a place on a team, a girl must have passing grades and practice twice a week for eight weeks. At the end of this term of practice the teams are chosen. Each girl qualifying is placed on a team and a tournament is held. This year's tournament was played in November in the high school gym- nasium after school hours. The method of conducting the tournament let the team having the most victories win. The Winners were: nrst place, senior team: second place, junior teamg third place, sophomore team.

A great deal of time and practice is required to prepare for the series of tournaments held each year. About ten weeks is spent in tournament training. During this time each girl who wishes to be on a team must practice twice a week. Then three teams are choseng a senior team, a junior team, and a sophomore team. The round robin system of play was used in this year's tournament. The Senior team nosed out both of the other teams Without much trouble. The scores at the end of the tournament stood as follows: Sophomores 7 . . . . . . Juniors 29 Juniors 15 .... Seniors 45 Sophomores 11 ..................................

Quite in- tensive practice is necessary in order to perfect the difiicult stunts these girls perform. The main program of the year by the tumblers was given late in the first semester. A double auditorium was held so that all students could enjoy the really professional entertainment. The same program was given for the P. T. A. in the spring. THE DECANOIS The different pyramids formed by the girls are: Human Span , Balance Pyramid , You Name It , and The Big Stride . The members of the tumbling team are: Faye Collins, Dorothy Beck, VVanda johnson, Dorothy Shroat, June XVinholtz, Elaine Lancaster, Kathleen Corrington, Roxie Witts, Marjorie Ambuehl, Callie Cruse, and Margaret Brady. 1935 - 145 i E PHYSICAL EXAMINATION For the iirst time in the history of the Decatur High School the girls in the physical training classes were given physical examinations early in the term to determine what type of training each needed. From the results of these physical examination reports, Miss Vance organized a corrective physical training class. Some of the girls in the class were there to gain weight, others to lose Weight. Miss Vance has stressed proper posture in her corrective class, how to Walk correctly, stand correctly, and sit correctly. She also spent some time with corrective foot exercises to stengthen arches and ankles.

The book planned for seniors especially, attempts to include all worth while activities in the school, as many student photographs as pos- sible, organization pictures with brief accounts of each organization, and whatever else the Decanois staff feels will make a valued memory book. In comparison with the bi-monthly Observer, the Decanois is a very young publication. The Observer passed its fortieth birthday in 1933. The Decanois is about twenty years younger and is really an outgrowth of the Observer. Once, when the Observer was a monthly publication, the june issue each year was called the commencement number. This issue contained a group picture of the faculty, a group picture of each literary society, one of the graduating class massed in front of the old Central building, and pos- sibly a group of those chosen for the commencement day program. What was lacking in the number and style of pictures was made up in elaborately written class histories and prophecies, stories, and jokes. Bound in a paper jacket and tied with a silk cord, these little magazines were sold to the com- mencement day audience at twenty-five cents each. As the high school grew, a larger and more elaborate record of high school life seemed necessary. The earlier Decanois issues were paper covered and somewhat like those june Observers in content. Today, the Decanois is a two hundred page volume, handsomely bound in board covers, a fair example of the change in educational times. Each volume of the Decanois costs more than the subscription price of two dollars. This difference in cost and sale prices forms one of the largest problems of the Decanois Business Staff. Advertising is one source of in- come, a small fee for individual class photographs is another, an organization fee for picture and write-up is a third. In 1934 the Decanois started a very worth while method of earning money. A directory of all Decatur High School students was compiled with the address of each and telephone numbers of those who could be reached by telephone. This little book was sold to the student body and a good profit realized. This project was repeated by the 1935 staff. The style and content of the Decanois is governed by rather strict rules set forth by the Illinois State High School Press Association and the National Association of journalism Directors. The suggestions and criticisms of these organizations help to make it possible for the Decanois to rank among the outstanding high school publications in the country.

VVith the marked withdrawal of advertising by local merchants in every community, high school and college newspapers have been at a loss to find means of support. Many papers have stopped publication entirely and others have met the depression with smaller issues at higher rates. The Observer has weathered the present conditions, publishing an excellent paper at its usual subscription price, and contributed a delightful and entertaining feature to the school and community besides. Last year the Observer thought of this unique way to aid its business man- agement. Harvey Sellers and his movie camera were seen at every important activity the school gave. Early in the spring the results of this photography were shown in a dime auditorium. The auditorium was filled twice for the student audience and again in the evening for the general public. While these showings paid for the filming and left a balance for the Observer, their real value lay in the experience gained for 1935. A definite plan of procedure for filming activities in and about the Decatur High School by the Observer business staff with Harvey Sellers as cameraman resulted in a really finished production in the auditorium on February twenty- second. Harris Beck was narrator for the show and Jack Price was the accom- panist. All major functions and activities of school life lived again. The first day of school with the incoming sophomores, the impressive mid-year class day, the beautiful Christmas vespers, the tumbling auditorium, all of the interesting and entertaining bits of the year delighted the audience. Again the Observer earned money and gained experience. Miss Ethel Parkinson, adviser of the Observer editorial staff, at the request of The Scholastic Editor , wrote a very complete and entertaining description of the Observer movies for the February issue of that magazine. Since The Scholastic Editor is the official organ of the National Association of Journalism Directors for secondary schools, the fame of the Observer movies has spread rapidly. The American Boy , an outstanding magazine for young people, has requested the use of Miss Parkinsons article. The Observer is already planning its 1936 production with the help of student and faculty committees.

A committee composed of Mr. Abell, Miss Foran, and Miss Yoder were appointed to select the winner of this award. Last year the busi- ness men of Decatur contributed a number of these scholarships to be given to worthy students. This year Millikin hopes for an even greater contribution. The faculty's scholarship, awarded to .................................... , not only helps Millikin in her drive for these scholarships but draws Millikin and the high school into closer relationship.

The story centers around Herbert Kalness, a self-made business man who likes plain living. He objects to his son's going to a construction camp and then to college, and he also objects to the engagement of his daughter, Alice, to Andy Goodrich, a Harvard man. Much humor is furnished by Herbert's wife who gives him an overdose of plain living. This cures him of his selfish ideas, and his family manage to make him give in to their desires.

The program was given by the girls in the clothing department dressed in costumes made by themselves. Miss Robertson assisted Miss Murphy in preparing the enter- tainment. During the past school year the clothing classes have taken an active part in school life. At Christmas time, they dressed sixty dolls for Toyland. They have assisted in making and altering costumes for both the opera and the Senior Play. VVhen the vocational meeting was held for the P. T. A. in April, the clothing Classes exhibited their work. At the james Millikin University state contest for Home Economics students this spring, two girls from the clothing class Won places. Marie Hall received recognition for a school dress which she designed and made herself. Annabelle Dovvell placed in the contest for art in homemaking. THE DECANOIS I935 HOME NURSING During' the third semester of Home Economics, home nursing, care of the sick, home planning, and dietetics are taught. Miss Troutman has a trained nurse demonstrate important phases of nursing to the class. The care and feeding of babies and children is stressed. Other work aside from the regular cooking lessons is accomplished by the home economics girls. During the fall meeting of the Macon County Teachers' Institute, girls from these classes were asked to serve the animal banquet in the Masonic Temple. They purchased material for uniform caps and aprons and Miss Murphy's sewing classes made them. Again, later in the year, these girls were waitresses for an evening party and dance at the Ma- sonic Temple. The home economics dining room is always kept in order for the use of any organization desiring it. The girls in charge are efhcient and artistic in their arrangements and are taught to be delightful hostesses. BIG TWELVE ART CUP ART DEPARTMENT I934 BIG I2 ART CONTEST The Big Twelve Art Contest was held in the Urbana High School in May, 1934. The subject chosen for the contest was travel posters. Decatur High School won first place through john Klinker, adding another beautiful silver trophy cup to its collection. John Klinker was art editor of the Decanois last year and associ- ate editor the year before. Third, place in the contest was taken by ,lohn Smith and fifth place by Theodore Sharpes. POPPY DAY POSTER CONTEST Each year the American Le- gion Auxiliary sponsors a Poppy Day Poster Contest. The prizes are three dollars and two dollars. Several honorable mentions are given. The students do not consider the prizes in making these post- ers. Their interest lies in design- ing posters which will urge others to buy these poppies. The poppies are made by disabled veterans of the NYorld lYar. The sale of these paper flowers on Decoration Day is the only way many of them have of earning money. ln the 1934 contest, Kenneth Gandy won first prize and Harry Bloom- cuist won second prize. Honorable mention was given to Wfilliam Kelly, Paul Morrison, Frances Hays, and Donna Dawson. The prizes were awarded these contestants in an art auditorium by Mr. Ziese, who represented the American Legion. THE DECANOIS I935 l BIG TWELVE ART WINNERS ART DEPARTMENT The students in the art department planned and made the decorations for the Macon County Teachers' Institute Banquet held in the Masonic Temple during the Qctober Institute. The theme for the decorations was based upon a quotation from Theodore Roosevelt which urged us to carry on the torch of our forefathers. The large torch decorating the wall behind the speakers table and the individual torch nut cups for the tables were the work of the students. Girls from the Foods class, under the direction of Miss Troutman, did the serving. The orchestra, with Mr. Rees directing, played before and during the banquet. Twenty-four high school girls dressed in white classical robes and carrying lighted tapers led the guests to the tables and stood at either end of the room while the guests were being seated. The art department also assisted in the planning of another party when the Order of the Aniaranth entertained at the Masonic Temple, French dance programs, menu cards, and other decorations were made in the art classes. Again the Home Economics girls acted as waitresses. MEMORIALS Hobart Hoots painted the Roman alphabet on the front blackboard in the art room and a modern poster alphabet on a large panel over the black- board. These are to serve as permanent gifts to the department. Harry Harper, another advanced art student, made two panels of nu- merals and one of punctuation marks to be hung on the side wall as aid to future students in the art department. b BIG I2 POSTER WINNERS John Klinker John Smith Theodore Sharpes ART DEPARTMENT I CHRISTMAS EXHIBIT At Christmas time the annual exhibit of original craft work was held by the art students in room ZlS. The exhibit lasted three days which enabled every student in school to see it. The English classes visited the exhibit on a schedule arranged by Miss Parkinson. Many parents, the faculty, and friends of the school attended also. Vlfall hangings of dyed silk pongee were exhibited by Eileen Ritchie, Eutana VVolcott, and Mary Beth james. Dorcas Ward displayed illuminated lettering and painted pictures on parchment. Howard Gould, Dorothy Mae jones, Mary Knapp, and Carolyn Schlie designed and painted colorful wall plaques. Henrietta Dawson made scrap books covered with checkered ging- ham. Harry Harper and Hobart Hoots excelled in phone book and maga- zine covers of book-binders linen. Williani Kelly, Kenneth Gandy, and Mary Beth James displayed some very fine block prints. Each student in the three art classes had at least one thing in the exhibit and many displayed several types of handicraft. Some of the advanced art students acted as ushers at the exhibit and told the guests about the Work on display. Qthers demonstrated Wood block cutting and the use of the press in printing. All of the art students wore bright colored smocks which added much to the attractiveness of the exhibit. THE DECANOIS .I935 ART DEPARTMENT EXHIBITS The annual May exhibit was held at the Art Institute. The exhibit was mounted on green boards against the ivory walls of the display rooms. One feature of the exhibit was the art work for the 1935 Decanois by Harry Bloomquist. A new subject exhibit was industrial design, old-fashioned and modern. Examples of figure drawing, composition, color harmony, designed perspective, lettering, and other craft work were exhibited. An exhibit of industrial designing was held by the art department for the vocational meeting of the P. T. A. Each student was represented in the display. Mrs. Meyer and some of the students acted as hosts and hostesses during the evening. MASKS Some interesting masks were made and decorated in the art department this year. The Pirate, a grotesquely painted head with a knife in its mouth, was made by lVilliam Pusey. lVilliam Kelly made Lee Ling Lo, a Chinese mask with a huge headdress. Cleopatra, by Emogene XVeakley, and Nai- retete, by .Iohn Hartley, were very good. Eleanor Schudel and Carroll Banks made French models. XY. .-X. Dipper designed a clown mask. There were two dramatic masks- Tragedy and Mirth by Monroe Meadors and a little Dutch boy and a little Dutch girl by limogene XYeakley. IX X 1 X J' 3 9 its . . . . ART DEPARTMENT POSTERS Almost every department in school calls upon the art department for help with signs, charts, arrangement of exhibits, or for posters at some time or many times during the school year. The department does its best to give excellent service. Clubs, lodges, and committees of community affairs call on the depart- ment almost constantly for help. This help is given when it is possible to combine it with school work or to give it as extra Work to an advanced student. School departments that have had help with posters or other help are: athletics, Observer subscription, Observer dances, Observer Movies, Ob- server auditoriums, Decanois auditoriums, Decanois subscriptions, mid-year senior play, June senior play, commercial department, home economics de- partment, and cafeteria. Civic affairs represented are: Community Chest, Art Institute Benetit Card Party, Masonic Temple, and American Legion. All students in the department have helped with the Work but an extra amount of superior quality was done by Hobart Hoots, Harry Harper, Car- olyn Schlie, Frances Hays, Evelyn Williains, Dorcas Ward, William Kelly, Kenneth Gandy, Mary Beth James, Vlfinifred Diller, Darrel Roberts, June McClure, and Paul Morrison. THE DECANOIS I935 MANUAL TRAINING The manual training department of the Decatur High School is housed in what used to be the car barns one block east of the school. Before the department was moved into this building it occupied the space where the cafeteria of the High School now is. This was not satisfactory because of the noise made by the saws and because the quarters were too cramped. The present building permits plenty of space not only for the manual training boys but for Mr. Birkhead's boys in mechanical drawing as well. Last spring, the manual training boys made cedar chests. These were beautifully hnished, polished v.ith brass mountings. During this year the boys worked on tables, smoking stands, and other articles of furniture, 'fd .., b f. 17 78 SNAPSHOTS One feature of the Decanois always is viewed with great interest by its readers. This feature consists of the pages of snapshots. The material for these pages is solicited during the year from the students of the school. The members of the staff who work on these pages have great difficulty in arous- ing sufficient interest in contributions to insure the kind of snapshots wanted by the subscribers to the Decanois. After the mass of snapshots has been obtained, the sorting begins. Each page has its own theme. The pictures on this page must not only carry out this theme but must contain figures of relativity the same size. Often good material is set aside because the figures in the pictures are too small. Then, pictures are handed in which are blurred, or too indistinct. The selection being completed, the snaps are pasted on card boards of either the same size as the page which is to appear in the book or on boards similar in shape but larger. The larger boards are reduced to the proper size by the engraver when he prepares the plates from which the snapshot pages are printed. This cutting and pasting of the pictures is very laborious as well as difficult work. It is done in the art department by members of the art classes who are also on the Decanois staff. The Decanois has received much praise for the neatness and skill shown in preparing this portion of the book. Because the Decanois must use the snaps which are handed in by the students, it always finds a lack of the best material. In order to remedy this condition, the Dccanois offered prizes for good snaps this year. The first prize was donated by Mr. Pease of the Rembrandt Studio and consisted of an enlarged photograph of the member of the Senior Class handing in the best picture. The second and third prizes were donated by the Decanois it- self. The second was a copy of the Decanois and the third was one dollar. The winner of the first prize was Jane Oakes with a picture of herself when a baby. Baby pictures are always of great interest especially when they resemble their owners at the present time. The second prize went to David Quale. David's picture was of himself fishing in a pool. The picture was interesting and beautifully taken, with attractive shadows and lights. The third prize went to Henrietta Good. This picture was also of the one winning the prize. This was more of a portrait but had good posing and background. THE DECANOIS ff ' P-lv I 1 . '-.

Bill Curran's ten-piece orchestra played. Decorations consisted of a large Christ- mas tree at the north end of the room. After the dance the tree was brought to the high school and placed in the hall by Room 322. It was left here until Christmas vacation and was the First tree to be used in the high school in this way. Blue lights and tinsel covered the tree and artificial snow was placed around the bottom of it. All lights around the wall were covered with blue paper, and the grandstand was also decorated in blue. Those not wishing to dance were entertained with ping-pong and cards. Tables for these games were placed along the walls outside the dance floor. Punch was served during the dance. The table was in the northeast cor- ner with a large white cloth on it, blue tapering candles, and a large cut-glass punch bowl. Small fancy wafers were also served. The junior-Senior Party and Dance on May eleventh was held in the Armory. Decorations were very elaborate and a fourteen-piece orchestra played. This dance proved to be one of the outstanding and successful proms of recent years. The last big social event for the Class of 1935 was the picnic and dance at Mueller Heights on May 31. 1-. - 2 INTER-SOCIETY BANQUET AND DANCE Amid such ill omens as broken mirrors, black cats, and skulls and Cross- bones, the high school cafeteria was transformed into a real hoodoo chamber for the annual Inter-Society banquet. The theme of superstition was carried out in the speeches. The Rev. Mr. Cutlip was the main speaker, with George VValraven serving as toastmaster. The toasts from the four societies were given by Paul Swarm, Forumg Robert Vance, Rotarog Betty Grubbs, Aristosg and Ruth Ross, Agora. The dance was held in the Gold Room at the Armory with Lee Home- brook's orchestra playing. The Inter-Society banquet has been a tradition since the early days of the Inter-Society contests, and for the last three years it has been held in the form of a dinner and dance. THE DECANOIS I935 l JUNIOR ART LEAGUE DANCE The junior Art League sponsored a Hallowe'en dance, The Graveyard Shivers, in the gymnasium on the afternoon of October 26th. The decoration committee: Keith Robinson, Hobart Hoots, Howard Gould, Mary Beth James, Frances Hays, Henrietta Dawson, and Eleanor Schudel, created a very realistic cemetery about the dance floor. Tombstones with humorous epitaphs, skeletons, and similar decorations bathed in blue lights added to the weird atmosphere. A Hoor show was furnished by Harry Bloomquist, Eutana XYolcott, and Bette Clendenning. Fred Pennington and Emogene NVeakley dressed as gypsies gave out fortunes. Harry Bloomquist acted as master of ceremonies. Bill Taylor's orchestra furnished the music. Tickets were block-printed by Kenneth Gandy from a block designed and cut by Wlilliam Kelly. Enough tickets were sold to clear thirty dollars. The receipts were invested in a Philco radio for the drawing room. DANCES Nearly every organization in Decatur High School sponsored at least one dime dance this year. Such dances are held in the high school gymnasium from three-forty o'clock to live o'clock. A small orchestra is engaged and any high school student is allowed to attend. The most elaborate dance of this kind was Graveyard Shivers given by the Junior Art League. The decorations and program were furnished by the art students. These dances always have very unique and appealing names. Some of them are: Barnyard Shuffle, The Turkey Trot, VVinter Wrestle, Spring Festival, and Witches Frolicf' Quite elaborate advertising announced these dances. Mrs. Meyer's art students make colorful posters which are placed in the front hall and in nearly every home room. The main object of such dances is to get money. The most made on any dance this year was thirty dollars. The average amount made is about twelve dollars. Not only did the smaller organizations such as clubs sponsor these dances, but also classes and publications. They have proven to be the most popular means for student organizations to build up their treasuries. THE DECANOIS V ' 4 1 n L 5 M rl I 85' N K 121 f, Y I . W . u , W. A.. n 41 S A I ..--. .,.

Kenneth Poarch, Dale Cochran, Albert Hunter Albert Hunter, Don Smith john Imbodcn Norman Russell Midyear Art Students Alice Regan and Mary Hawes I935 MIDYEAR GRADUATES 1, 'Vs li LX 5 if-6 K W i S, ILS u-...S Wednesday, January 9 These after school dances get the duck- iest names-the Observer is having one called the Winter VVrestle. Tlfursday, january 10 Miss Zona Gale, a novelist, spoke in the auditorium to many of the juniors and seniors. Friday, january 10 The Forum dance was quite a success with Danny Dreamer and Kyle Hing- ing the light fantastic. But 'they were just guests-you should have seen the members go at it. Monday, January 14 Carolyn and Eutona sure looked sleepy this morning. They just got back from a round of dances at dear old U. of I. Do they rate! Tuesday, January 15 Bettie Quinlan got back tpday after set- ting at home all day yesterday to read detective stories: so now we'll continue the calendar. CShe blushed and protested vehemently to this, but that's all the good it did.j Wednesday, January 16 Don't you think Bob Fox talks an aw- ful lot? I guess that's the reason he likes Miss Olson-no competition. Thursday, January 17 Gregory came in with bright maroon socks on today. Were her feet red!! Friday, January 18 The Mid-years look charming in their bathrobes. They had a swell class day program-boy, can jack Scharnberg croon. Monday, January 21 Exams today. Everyone went in gloomy and came out gloomier except the midyears. Why even Fletcher Carson and Bob Thimens led smiles on their faces. Tuesday, january 22 These teachers are spoiled. just 'cause they give exams one year, they think they can get away with it every year. Wednesday, January 23 Had the G. A. A. auditorium today. Gee, we thought Elaine Lancaster and Margaret Grady were going to break their necks. Thursday, january 24 VVe played Urbana tonight and we won 39-24. Play another tomorrow night, but what are we going to do without Taylor, Humphrey, Cochran and Harrison? Friday, January 25 There must be a Hu epidemic or some- thing because there were 200 absentees Cskippers to youl on the list this morn- ing. Monday, January 28 What a conglomeration of new sophs, sophisticated seniors and midyears that came back as P. G.'s Cas per usualj. Tuesday, January 29 Glory Be-The greenies have something we didn't have-numbers on all the doors and signs leading everywhere-maybe 303 wonlt be lost this year. Wednesday, January 30 I guess we seniors just don't rate the President's Ball. About the only ones were under-grads such as Martha Eileen Blakeney and Jimmy McQuinn. THE DECANOIS 1 At Your Servx e 2 Miss Murphy and Miss Troutman 3 Sewing on Opera Costumes 4 Planning a Fac- ulty Banquet 5 Sewing for Christ- mas Exhibit I935 HOME ECONOMICS Thursday, january 31 Comedy in jr. Meeting-Kenneth Black sings Trees while a dog barks in the background. FEBRUARY Friday, February 1 Somebody told us that all they read the calendar for is to see their names, so here goes-Jack Shaw, Aileen Madden, john Brown, Elizabeth Geiger, Robert Whitaker and Frances Rogier - etc. How's that? Monday, February 4 It seems a Bachelors' Club ?? has been organized in our institution. They have to come to school barefooted at least once in June. Wish they'd have more pity on the rest of the student body. Tuesday, February 5 Barbara doesn't live at home anymore. She and Ruth and living together. We wonder if this isn't a game. Eutana and Carolyn aren't the only ones. Wednesday, February 6 St. Teresa beat us tonight, by one point. The score was 23-22, and boy, was it exciting. Thursday, February 7 The DeMolay Minstrel is over at last. Did you notice Toots Slocum's funny expression when she danced? Thelma Simms shot someone in the show, but surely, Carl, you can do better than to associate with a criminal. Friday, February 8 Harry Sacriter and Bill Hamman are giving a swell subscription dance at the Orlando tonight.-Saw Paul Swarm ask- ing Sue Stubbleiield to go. Monday, February 11 For several long weeks Earl Crabtree has been courting Martha Collins down by her ol' locker. Tuesday, February 12 Tom Crawford is seen every noon talk- ing to a flock of girls-mainly Roberta. Wednesday, February 13 Jane Oakes has a terrible time. She is so little that she has to stand on a stool to turn a gas tube upside down in a water pan. Thursday, February 14 We would say that as for laughs-Dick Stratman and Roy Hale take the cake. Friday, February 15 The Observer is literally covered with ads-Wonder what their line is? Maybe it's due to Ed Rodgers-that big business man. Monday, February 18 From the looks of things we think an absentee list better be made for teachers, there were about eleven absent from school the first of the week. Tuesday, February 19 We wouldn't be gossipy or anything but have you noticed the new romances blooming now that it's getting near spring-Helen Wilson and Harvey and Mae and Dale Miller, for instance. Wednesday, February 20 Lots of the gals got invitations to a dinner tomorrow night. We're gettin' out the old etiquette books and looking up a few things-believe you me. THE DECANOIS Tiny Tim and Sampson Spirit of '76 If at first you don't succeed Hi Shorty! What a figure! All agreed Laurel and Hardy I 9 3 5 Thursday, February 21 ,W , I , We think the Dec should sponsor a beauty contest and as for contestants, what do you think of those Erisman gals, Helen Madiera or perhaps the blonde venus -M. S. Friday, February 22 The Observer sponsored the movies today. Did Dorothy Cannon ever rate with that swell close-up-we didn't even have a chance. Monday, February 25 Have you heard about our latest couple?-Mary Mucker and R. L. Moore! Molly O'Dell is playing cupid and car- ries their little love notes back and forth. Tsk! Tskl Tuesday, February 26 Oh, dear! I've thunk, and thunk and I just can't think of a thing to write. VVhy doesn't somebody do something in- teresting once in a while. Wednesday, February 27 Miss Foran forgot to ring her little bell this morning, and about half the people in 322 were late. Bettie Quinlan was in such a hurry to get her seat that she came rushing in with her lock hang- ing over her linger. Thursday, February 28 The poor soldiers in the opera had to be here at 7:30 this morning. Wonder what time they had to get up? Must have been about the crack o' dawn. MARCH Friday, March 1 We thought only little kids get measles, but it seems that the whole school is catching 'em-Joan Gregory, Jean Light, Phil Miller, Elizabeth Geiger, Kenneth DeFrees, and even Miss Wynel Monday, March 4 Mr. Ziese's bright and shining face is back among us again, and he won the nomination, too! Tuesday, March 5 Gee, I itch all over. Maybe I'm catchin' the measles, too. Quick, where a mirror? Wednesday, March 6 Saw Paul Swarm flashing hundred dol- lar bills around here today-Surprise! It's just stage money for the oprey. Thursday, March 7 Hurtt and his basketeers won from Argenta last night and Wright played Stonington and Won for dear old alma mater 53-9. Deah, deah. Friday, March 8 Mr. Taylor was escorted to school in a police car with two policemen! Sounds bad. Wonder if he has joined the strikers? Monday, March 11 Blossom Weilepp has hnally found her Don Juan in the shape of a T. K. E. pledge. She told us that she can't eat or sleep-it must be grand! Tuesday, March 12 Push off ye lads! for the cold wastes of Alaska with Slim Williams. Joe Hengst has decided to go up and put a few excess pounds on those manly shoul- ders. Wednesday, March 13 We wonder what will be next-some- one asked Miss Orr, in all sincerity, to buy a ticket to Milly Modest ! THE DECANOIS 1 Library Staff and Miss Harper 2 Miss Rader, High School Secretary 3 Miss Cope. High School Secretary I935 ALWAYS BUSY Thursday, March 14 When Bettie doesn't write this Jessie does, and when Jessie doesn't it isn't written-where's Barbara? P. S.-This clever thing was written by Miss Quin- lan. Friday, March 15 This weather seems to be bringing lots of illness for maybe it's Spring Feverb -E. Chodat, Frances Johnson, and Sut- liff sure have it-at the Mill. Monday, March 18 You'd be surprised to know how many of the seniors imagine themselves Clark Gables and Claudette Colberts, but then so it goes when the seniors have play try-outs-. Tuesday, March 19 Got an invitation to a formal on May -ith. Gee, gosh, am I thrilled. Now I'll have to break the news gently at home, and if I handle the situation diplomatic- ally, maybe I'll get a new dress. Wednesday, March 20 You should have seen what we saw during rehearsal-four Cwhat ought to be dignihedj seniors playing school on the front steps of this honorable institution. And the chawming teacher was-Helen Louise-VVattsie to you. Thursday, March 21 Have you ever noticed the Rogues Gal- lery on the walls outside of 322-I even found my Dad's picture and is it a honey! Friday, March 22 Free, free-sumpin' for nothin'. All of us little seniors are invited out to Milli- kin some time in the near future to see The Late Christopher Bean. Monday, March 25 The auch-tors for the senior play have named-Harvey Sellers, the dashing hero, Doris Sayre, the gentle maiden, Sandy Carroll, Helen Louise Watts, and Barbara McMurry just act and act some more. Tuesday, March 26 All the opera cast ran around with a haunted look in their eyes and circles un- der them-Martha Quinn says she hasn't slept for weeks just for thinking about it. Wednesday, March 27 Some of the gals are going to have a house party out at Southside. The Dec staff plans to work all week so you can see what you can see. Thursday, March 28 The opera, Mlle. Modisten was simply Uscrumptousf' Mary and Kenneth sang grandly and Beatrice Dickman had a beautiful French accent. God rest ye merry gentlemen!-go home and sleep. Make good use of your ten days vaca- tlon. APRIL Monday, April 8 Horrors, the same old story about the first day after vacation with every one looking the worst from the wear. We wonder what Judith Ann Mertz was do- ing at the transfer house fishing out of a fish bowl? Tuesday, April 9 Peg Smith will have lots to tell when she comes home from the hospital-what with being fed oxygen and all. Wednesday, April 10 Mrs. Meyers must have the dropsy or something because Mr. Sprunger gave her a basket to carry her bulletin up stairs in-sarcasm or gallantry?

CVVe gather that she acceptedj Tuesday, April 16 Sprig is here! But we dodice thad sev- eral of our well dowd students have a code in the head. Ah be! Such is life. P. S.-If you want to get any sense ouL of this, you'd better read it out loud. Wednesday, April 17 The Observer surely got us some grand entertainment when they brought the VVhite Hussars. We must admit our dear old newspaper brings as good audi- toriums as the Deo Thursday, April 18 Doctor Lindberg gave his annual talk to the seniors. He really relieved our minds a lot about the T. B. test when he said it wouldn't hurt. From what we heard from some of the seniors last year. it was almost as painful as a major op- eration. Friday, April 19 Guess what they asked us for-to dec- orate South Side for the opera cast dance. Cut grass from our lawns and any fruit blossoms. lt sounds kinda funny, but they say the effect is quite Marty. Monday, April 22 Hi de ho-some doin's, You should just have seen Elizabeth Geiger, Ellie Shell, Ginger Peery, Gregg and a few other energetic youngsters toddling out of bed at dawn yesterday morning in or- der to attend the sunrise service. They also honored several other religious spots with their presences during the day.- Such ambition deserves some reward- Tuesday, April 23 Sure felt like a cow being branded when I got the T. B. test this morn. Lit- tle 'XVilly Clannin kind of folded up on us! Wednesday, April 24 Carolyn Hilligoss and Maude Eichman made Sweet girl graduates when they modeled ye old cappes and gownes this morning. Thursday, April 25 More branding for the seniors-this time Doc read the little red marks- some guy!!! Friday, April 26 The spring fever seems to have gotten quite a few of our students -? Saw Bob Long and young Dave Simpson over at the drug wishing for a car and some swimming suits-the spring, the beautiful spring. Monday, April 29 These people that get easy money make me sick-Harris Beck and Ruth Ross came thru with flying colors and won the Mary W. French award. Tuesday, April 30 Vilas terrible sorry to see in the paper last night that Mrs. Hostetler is going to give up the ship as dean of girls- VVe'll miss you and we wish you lots of happiness.

MODISTE of X. 4 viii 2 Qi' , Wednesday, May 1 Scandal! Scandal! The pride and joy of the house of Woodward went riding with Helpy and Clyde Tearnan last night in her nite-gown and bathrobe. Can you imagine that? Positively inde- cent, I calls it! Thursday, May 2 Senior honors popped out yesterday in the meeting. Mr. Walraven was chosen salutatorian by a unanimous vote. Mr. Swarm is to orate for us. Friday, May 3 Yesterday a girl was knocked down by lockers and today little Imogene Hop- kins fell over in a dead faint. Maybe a few nails, carefully placed. would help to hold the place together for a few more years. Monday, May 6 The senior play was quite a success and did Wattsie ever look elegant in that little pink number. Did we get scared-in the forest. Tuesday, May 7 Proud and haughty, Good not naughty, Her glance is apt to freeze: She's very coy, The pride and joy- Lib Williams if u please. Wednesday, May 8 News and more news-you know that digniF1edC?J sophomore, Helen Madiera -Well, children, she had a great surprise the other night when that big he-man Oder, ups and spanked her a few. 'Twas really quilte touching fpuny punj. It must be nice to exercise such manly strength over all the gals-n'est-ce pas? Thursday, May 9 May we sorta acknowledge a little help from Gaddy or in other words Joan Gregory. Friday, May 10 Saw all the De Molays up in Bloom- ington some time ago. That little Carl Swartz was practically weighted down by a big medal on a red ribbon which he was wearing 'round his neck. Monday, May 13 Such an elegant affair that them thar juniors gave us the other night. Weren't the little concession stands just too cute for words-in fact so cute we'll drop the whole matter. Tuesday, May 14 Have you ever noticed Evelyn Gver- ly's beautiful blonde locks? We just wonder how many hours it takes her to curl it all up. Try counting them some time. Wednesday, May 15 I would say, rite off hand, that the ice cream cone season is here. People go around hiding behind regular mountains of the stuff. There's a little place around the corner that seems to be permeated with old Southern generosity. At least, they give you all u want for a nickle. Thursday, May 16 Believe it or not, but We have a human fish in our midst. She got so lonesome for the H20 the other nite that she went wading in it, and as a result is now suf- fering from tonsilitis. The scaly one's name is Slocum. Friday, May 17 Mr. Rees and the boys and girls came thru with flying colors again and pre- sented a line concert. Music was espe- cially entertaining.

Tuesday, May 21 Virginia Vandy Van Deventer had the mumps about two weeks ago and our spies tell us that a certain curly headed chap came every night and stood under her window-what would'cha call that? Wednesday, May 22 We had so much to tell you awhile back that we forgot to mention the way in which the shorthand team won all the first places in the district-quite a fast bunch, eh, what? Thursday, May 23 Tommy Crawford has absolutely the 'fswellestn grin of anyone under the sun. Sorta have an idea that a few of them shine on a certain gal called Sweetie Friday, May 24 You should just hear Jack Smick rav- ing about not having to take finals, specially a law one-course he's not the only. Monday, May 27 So here hath been dawning another blue day. Think-there are only four more for our dear friends the seniors-the lucky dogs. Tuesday, May 28 Tomorrow's the big day, what with the senior picnic, class day, 'n everything. Can't you just see that handsome Arthur Lutz with a luscious grey robe on. Wednesday, May 29 Honors! honors! and more honors! These honor days are not for the poor dumb under-dogs like us but just imagine what a wonderful feeling it must be. Thursday, May 30 Memorial Day is another day we are thankful for-no school! Friday, May 31 We wonder just how things will turn out for our sweet graduates-it was a swell class day-in fact so swell we al- most blubbered all over ourselves. So long-be seein! you at the picnic this af- ternoon. Monday, June 3 The pic-a-nic was really quite an af- fair. Even if a few sandwiches and dev- iled eggs were used for paper wads-oh, well, it's all in a day. Tuesday, June 4 Billowy clouds lying in an Azure sky: little birds- Oh don't let it bother you, school's al- most over, summer comin' and all that, it's almost bound to go to one's head a little bit. Wednesday, June 5 Here it is the first of June and we just noticed those black numbers which were painted on all the doors about a month ago. Course we were awful busy and all-They always start doing things just when we leave. Thursday, june 6 Last year some of the childish little seniors tied the row in front of them to- gether by taking a tassle out of their caps and winding it around the button on the robe of the senior in front-Such em- barrassment-sure hope it doesn't happen this year.

Commencement was lovely and it was certainly something which will forever linger in our memories. ODES TO THE SENIORS Adams is tall and superior KI am speaking of Sylviaj. Too, She gives one a complex inferior. Has she ever tried working on you? B is for Burcham the Silent, The maiden with beautiful eyes, If it weren't for her discrimination, You would find me in Joy's paradise. Crawford is the name of twins As like as camel's humps. How do we differentiate? Tom wears bow-ties and Marge wears pumps. De Frees is a lad in our midst Who is noted for fiuttering hands. When he talks and continues his talking, All hope of escape one disbands. Eichman's other name is Maude, A girl we all revere. And when we sit by Maude in class, Our grades fill us with cheer. Farrar is the name of an opera gal, And her namesake is in our class- Our own Geraldine doesn't yodel so well But sheis one nifty lass that will pass. Geiger's art at drawing mugs Will someday bring her money. Once she drew my own pan and Attempted to be funny. Henry. Paul, is quite a lad- I think he'll make his mark. He gives a good impression when His face is in the dark. Iiams is a damsel fair With quiet ways and flaming hair. But don't let that give you a scare- Her eyes are blue. Jones is quite a common name, It doesn't sound like fire. Alice Marie is not a lamb, I know, I raised her ire. Knotts is a landmark of ours, VVe all know good ole Marge. We like her guile, explosive smile, Her atmosphere at large. Lindberg is a name of note Held here by quite a worthy chap. We know him by his manly stride, His deadly, murderous back-slap. Miller is a little man, A little man but mighty, And slay the girls, I'll say he can With ha-cha-cha and hi-de. Nelson, Forrest, takes the cake In saying something silly. While playing 'round some profs, he gets An atmosphere quite chilly. Oakes is such a little bit Of sugar and of spice- And when she looks at me and smiles, I think she's awfully nice. Powell is at times so wise He somehow makes me fidget But in the good ole senior play, He's just a simple idjut. Quinlan, Betty, cuts some figure, Walking down the street. All the dandies whisper sideways, Boy, ain't cookie sweet? Roger's child is quite a man- Neil knows what he's about. When victims make a wee mistake, He promptly bawls them out. Swarm is so ambitious that He makes me feel so funny, I s'pose when he grows up he'll have Just piles and Piles of money. Toney Cthat's Byron to youj Is quite on the hefty side. And if he knew who wrote this ode, He'd hurt more than my pride. Uhler is a bashful boy Who knows mechanics well, I'm told. He knows just what a piston is, And what the clutches hold. Vance has a jaw of steel, He needs be slightly gayer. To finish his biography, He goes with Doris Sayre. Watts is just too cute for words I like to hear her giggle. But with the males of her set I fear that she is iiggle. Xcuse me, plizz, there is no X So I'll just say, Wisconsin! I don't know why I said it But it rhymes with Frances Johnson. York, of course I mean Bob, 'Fore school takes stand in the hall. He can tell you just who goes with whom And who's mad at whom and all. Z's I have none But Ozee will do. With Raymond I'm done.
