FRENCH AWARDS IQ' Margaret Allen Ruth MUifleY The highest honor which can be given to a member of the senior class is that of being selected for one of the Mary W. French awards. Mary W. French was for nearly forty years a teacher in the Decatur High School. ln Decem- ber l9l3, soon after her resignation from the high school faculty, she estab- lished a fund of one thousand dollars with the Board of Education. The inter- est from this fund is divided at the end of each school year into two parts, one being three fifths of the amount, and the other two fifths of the amount. A committee consisting of the heads of the departments acting with the principal decide which members of the senior class shall receive the awards. The de- cision is based upon loyal support to the school, proper attitude to instructors, scholarship, and interest in school activities. Margaret Allen received the first award this year. During her sophomore and junior years she was first a reporter and then a special writer on the Ob- server. ln her senior year she has been editor of the Decanois. For three years she has been a member of Aristos and for two of Mask and Wig. Shel has received both a silver and a gold Delta for superior scholarship. Ruth Muffley received the second award. She served as reporter on the Observer her sophomore year, as special writer her junior year, and as co-editor her senior year. She has been a member of the Girl Scouts for the past three years and during her senior year, a member of Agora. She also received a silver delta and a gold delta. FOR l936 77 LINCOLN ESSAY CONTEST Elizabeth Duerr Monroe Meador Elizabeth Duerr and Mcnrce Meador were the winners of the Lincoln essay contest. This contest, which is open to any member of the senior class, is conducted in lanuary so that the winning essay can be delivered as part of the Lincoln's birthday program. Each contestant is judged not only upon the merit of the essay but also upon his manner of presenting the essay before a committee of judges and upon his own standing in school citizenship. The award for this contest is sixty dollars which is divided equally between the two winners. The late Mrs. Inez Bender made this contest possible by leaving one thousand dollars to the Board of Education. The interest from this sum of money is used each year for the prizes. Mrs. Bender stipulated that one win- ner must be a boy and one girl. The judges of the contest this year were Miss Robertson, Miss Stadler, Miss Giffin, Miss Parkinson, Mr. Paul LeMarr and Mr. Wilmer Lamar. IDA K. MARTIN CONTEST The Ida K. Martin contest is held during May so that its winners can take part in the Memorial Day exercises. lt, like the Lincoln contest, is open to any member of the senior class. Each contestant submits a patriotic essay of a thousand words or less. The essays are delivered before special judges. The grades for each essay and its delivery are averaged with the citizenship grade of its author. The awards of thirty dollars each are made to the suc- cessful boy and girl at the june commencement. The winners of the Martin contest for 1936 are loan Walraven and Charles Livingston.

SECTIONAL TOURNAMENT Decatur annexed their first game in the sectional when they squeezed out a 20-l9 victcry over an accurate shooting Athens five. ln one of the most wildly exciting finishes ever seen in the Armory the Reds came from behind to win out in the last few minutes. ln an almost perfectly played game Decatur gave Springfield the worst beating they have taken for several years when they trounced Peterman's five by a 36-l9 score. Dominating the game the entire way, Decatur rushed their taller rivals off their feet. Decatur finished their second lap of their championship drive successfully when they downed a plucky Macon team by a 25-l7 score. Decatur took an early lead and then dropped behind in the third quarter only to come back with a last quarter rally that clinched the game. STATE TOURNAMENT Decatur, plaving their first game in the state finals since l93l, topped Peoria Manual l7-l3. The game was close the entire way with never more than two or three points separating the teams. The Decatur Reds advanced to the semi-finals of the state tournament when they eliminated the little l-lull team 30-27. Decatur led at the end of every quarter but were forced to stave off a last quarter rally. The Reds gained the right to appear in the state finals when they upset a highly favored lohnston City team 20-l9. Gay Kintner's boys took the lead in the first quarter and held it until only seconds were left. With their foes leading by one point Decatur sank a basket as the gun was in the air. Gay Kintner's fighting Reds hung up their second state title in six years when they conquered an undefeated Danville team 25-22. Decatur had to overcome a first half lead their opponents had built up, and then with a four point lead stall out the remainder of the game. 98 Margaret Hllen Editor Winifred Diller Co-Plrt Editor Paul Lyon Business Manager DECANOIS HEADS at 'V 61 Iudith Hnn Mertz Photograph Editor Carolyn Schlie Co-Qrt Editor Robert Morris Hdvertising Manager Monroe Mecxdor Circulation Manager 99 Charles Burg Iune Class Editor Walter Flora Iunior lldvertising Mgr.

The book attempts to include all activities in the school, and as many student photographs as possible. The staff is composed of seniors with the exception of a few juniors who will, in turn, be given positions the following year. The style and content of the Decanois is governed by rules set forth by the Illinois High School Press Association and the National Asso- ciation of journalism Directors. Last November Margaret Allen and Paul Lyon were sent by the Decanois as delegates to the l. H. S. P. A. conference in Champaign. The Decanois campaign for subscriptions opened with the presentation of a Major Bowes Amateur Hour. Walter Flora, as Major Bowes, presented the performers who were Henrietta Dawson, Delina Fraser, Beatrice Dick- man, Maria Karelas, joan Walraven, Walter Obermeyer, Harry Harper, Errol Odor, Frederic Hachat, Francis Rogier, and Martin Hill. Each copy of the Decanois costs more than the subscription price of two dollars. This difference is made up by selling advertising, the small fee charged for individual and club pictures, dime dances, and magazine and paper sales. ln November the Decanois Business Staff published a directory of all the Decatur High School students, the address of each, and the telephone num- bers of those who could be reached by phone. This sold for the small sum of twenty cents.

They were given for two capacity houses March 26, and the pupils were able to see themselves in action. This time the theme was Trimmings VVhich Give Flavor to the Educational Diet. Lee Moorehead was the narrator for the movies, lnabelle Trueblood, the artistg and Iunita Russell, the pianist. Mr. Roy Taylor, a faculty adviser of the Observer, supervised the whole pro- ject and was assisted by Stanley Threlfall, Roger Pease, David Quayle, Gene Pluss, and Clarence Kalins in taking and showing the pictures. Requests for accounts of the movies have come from two national maga- zines and from other schools in three different states. The Observer is one of the oldest organizations in high school and has had a continuous printed publication for over forty years. Ruth Muffley and Lee Moorehead, and joanne McDavid, a special guest of the director, were sent to the l. H. S. P. A. conference this year where they attended lectures and re- ceived critical service on the paper. At the beginning of each year the Observer sponsors a stunt to acquaint the incoming students with the school paper. This year the play was written by Ioan Walraven and Peter Shugart. Another project of the Observer was to present Herbert Petrie's White Hussars on April 16.

TI-IE DECANOIS CHRISTMAS VESPERS The most impressive program of the year was given by the glee clubs. lt was the Christmas Vesper Service. The senior Mixed Chorus was as- sisted by the lunior Chorus and the A Cappella Choir making a total of one hundred fifty students in the combined choruses. The service opened with the old French Carol, Angels O'er the Fields sung from the skylight of the auditorium by a girls' double sextette. This was followed by the processional O Come All Ye Faithful. A Brass Choir accompanied the singers in both the processional and recessional. Outstanding numbers on the program Were: The Birthday of a King sung by a quartette in which Francis Rogier, bass, and Martin l-lill, baritone, were soloists, and Lullaby On Christmas Eve which was sung by four so- pranos with humming chorus and string ensemble accompaniment. Chimes were played by lack Coombe following the scripture reading from St. Luke by Richard Foster.

The Boys' Glee Club has accomplished many things this year under the leadership ol Miss Adelaide Pease. Three of its members, Errol Odor, Frederic Hachat, and Francis Rogier, were sent to the All State Chorus in Champaign in November. Besides the regular chorus, guartette and trio groups have been formed which have sung for a number of auditoriums and on other occasions. A double guartette was formed including Maria Karelas, Mariel Odor, Beatrice Dickman, and Evelyn Faught from the Girls' Glee Club, and Frederic Hachat, Dudley Davidson, Errol Odor, and Francis Rogier from the Boys' Glee Club This group was especially popular. The most outstanding event in which the boys sang Was the Spring Mu- sical. The boys sang Tally Ho by Leoni, and A Song of Ships by Flag- ler. An interesting ar'rangement of the Negro Spiritual Cro Down Moses and the Finnish Folk Song Lost in the Night arranged by Christiansen were two songs sung by the Whole chorus which were especially Well liked.

On Easter morning the Chorus sang for the Sunrise Service held at Nelson Park. The climax of the year's work was the Spring Musical which was given in May by the Combined Chorus. ln the first part of the program, choral com- positions Were sung by the mixed chorus and by the separate clubs. ln this the girls sang their favorites: The Wind's in the South by Scott, and Solvejg's Song from the Peer Gynt Suite by Grieg. The second part of the program Was made up ot Russian music. Selec- tions Were sung by ensembles and auartettes in addition to the chorus numbers. Two Ukranian Folk Sonks, A Violin ls Singing in the Street and The Cossackf' both arranged by Kosketz, were of particular interest in this part of the program. OFFICERS Dorothy Allen . . . ....

It is composed ot boys and girls who are preparing to sing in the Senior Chorus. The lunior Boys' Glee Club meets every Monday, the lunior Girls' Glee Club every Tuesday, and both clubs meet on Wednesdays and Fridays to form the Iunior Chorus. The Chorus has assisted in many programs this year. Perhaps the most important was the Christmas Vesper Service. In this they sang the beautiful' MidWinter ' by l-lolst and Ye Watchers and Ye Holy Ones arranged by Fisher. They also sang in the Easter Sunrise Service. Some ot the numbers sung there were Untold Ye Portals, by Gounod, Hosanna, by Christiansen, and Lutkin's The Lord Bless You and Keep You. OFFICERS Annie Harp . . . .,.. President . . . . .

H. Walker Thomas Scanlon Walter McKinley Robert Skow THE DECANOIS ORCHESTRA The orchestra passed its twelfth year this spring under Mr. Rex Rees' direc- tion, a year that was filled with fine training for its members and much en- joyment for those whom it served. During the year the orchestra played for many programs. These in- cluded: Christmas Vespers, Mid-Year class play, Iune class play, Mid-Year class day, Iune class day, Mid-Year commencement exercises, fune commence- ment exercises, and the Macon County Teacher's Institute. Ioseph Flowers acted as student leader and conducted when Mr, Rees was not present. Phyllis Stephens, solo violinist, was concert-master. The orches- tra, as a group, developed fine intonation, attack, release and expression. This year there was a small number of orchestra members who made up a special group of approximately twenty-five pieces. This group studied dance music and played many fine arrangements. Their engagements included pro- grams for the Kiwanis Club, Rotary Club, and Transportation Club. This versatile group of musicians, many of whom doubled on various instruments, proved to be very popular at each place of performance. Karl Garrett, Dalbert Eglin and William Vest were librarians in charge of the orchestra music. The orchestra library contains selections for every oc1 casion. Contained in this extensive collection of fine music are overtures, sym- phonies, suites, and classical and semi-classical numbers. A season of many fine programs had its climax in the annual concert given for the people of Decatur. The selection of the numbers on the program was very different but their presentation was entertaining, interesting, and exceed- ingly well executed. Two suites composed by contemporary English writers were included on the program. These numbers enabled the audiences to es- tablish an idea of what our English composers are doing in the way of writing and arranging modern classical music. The pieces offered a fine opportunity for comparison of our modern American classical music with that of England. The first of the suites played was The Shoe. The feature of the orchestra program was a violin solo, Scene De Ballet, played by Phyllis Stephens. Miss Stephens displayed remarkable feeling, style, and tone quality, while the or- chestra showed fine judgement and understanding in the manner that it played the accompaniment. The other suite, Eour Ways, proved to be very enter- taining with its odd harmonies and rhythms. The four movements are each named for a direction, Northward, Eastwar'd, Southward, and Westward, and each one is characteristic and descriptive of its name. The entire program was played with professional skill and style and showed intensive study of the numbers. Surely a fine orchestra could not have closed a fine season in a more fit- ting manner.

Sixty-three members made up a fine unit which was a great asset to the school. This unit furnished music at many school activities. The Redcoats played at the football games, and made an impressive sight as they marched down the field in their red and white uniforms. A sharp ar- row with a D on its shaft made a striking formation as the band went through its maneuvers. The audiences at all the basketball games were entertained with lively marches and popular songs. The band also furnished music at the lllinois State Catholic Basketball tournament as well as Decatur's own sectional tournament. Much of the life at pep meetings and auditoriums was furnished by the band. Members of the band devoted much of their time to the community. Some of the occasions they played for included the lllinois State Farmers Conven- tion, Boy Scout Banquet, Armistice Day Parade, Durfee School Carnival, and the parade and Easter Service of the Knights Templars. Russell Larsen, student leader, was in char'ge of the band when Mr. Rees was not present. lack Cooper was assistant student leader. Aldwin Morris, as drum major, headed the band on parade. Karl Garrett, head librarian, was assisted in caring for the music of the band by William Vest and Dalbert Eglin. The band's library contains num- bers for every occasion and includes arrangements of musical comedy selec- tions, overtures, novelty numbers, suites, marches, and popular hits. A year of activity, service, and fine experience closed with the presenta- tion of the twelfth annual concert on May 15 and 16. Summer Nights, CI descriptive suite, was the first selection. The band performed this number with great feeling and fine intonation. A feature of the program was a clari- net duet, Two Little Bullfinchesf' played by Russell Larsen and lack Cooper. This piece exhibited fine technique by the soloists and able accompaniment by the band. The program closed with Henry I-ladley's Silhouette Suite. Each of the six numbers of this suite is descriptive of a different country and its people and customs. The characteristic rhythms of each country are carried out in the suite, and each movement is entirely different. The band closed the program with an exhibition of fine tonguing as displayed in the final movement of the suite. EOR 1936 l15 THE BIG TWELVE ABT CONTEST Harry Harper Kenneth Gandy The Big Twelve Art Contest was held late last spring at Pekin. For the fourth consecutive time Decatur High School won this event. ln 1930, when the contest was held at Danville, Mildred Norris was winner. The contests were not held during 193l and 1932. ln 1933 at Champaign Margaret Lyon won for Decatur. ln 1934 the contest was again held in Champaign and again the honors wer'e taken by Decatur with john Klinker's work. Heretofore the subject of the contest has been poster making. Last year the subject was changed to original industrial design. The judge was Mr. Hinslaw, head of the art department at Illinois Wesleyan. The basis of grad- ing was as follows: idea, 15 points, suitability, 15 points, design, 40 points, technique, 30 points. Harry Harper, graduate of the 1935 june class, won the highest grade in the contest-96. Kenneth Gandy and Beverly Calhoun each received a grade of 91. Peoria Manual was second in the contest with gr'ades of 93, 89 and 81. These two schools were placed in Class A. The high schools in the Big Twelve organization are Springfield, Bloomington, Champaign, Mattoon, Lincoln, Peoria Central, Peoria Manual, Pekin, Urbana, Streator, Danville, and Decatur.

SPRING EXHIBIT During May the Art Department held its annual exhibit at the Art Insti- tute. This exhibit, open to the public, included the regular class projects of the year. Each art student Was represented in at least one of the projects. The original pen and ink Work done by 'Winifred Diller and Carolyn Schlie for the division sheets of the l936 Decanois formed one of the most beautiful parts of the exhibit. The most striking posters ever made by the art depart- ment Were shown by Bex Smith, Paul Morrison, David Quayle, Donald Fluss, and Keith Robinson. The best figure drawings on display Were those by Doro- thy Mathes, Betsy Hatfield, and Bernice Young. A tea was given by the Art Department for junior high school graduates, their art teachers and principals, and members of the Art Institute board.

The members of the club, during their stated meetings, have studied diction and enunciation, character studies, stage settings, poses, stage terms, technique, and lighting. They have also studied exterior and interior decora- tion of stagescenery, costumes, groupings, color on the stage, emotions of character, and the rules concerning stage placement.

A verse choir is a group that works to give an illuminating interpretation of a poem. lt is conducted in the manner of the Glee Clubs. Some of the outstanding poems taken up were Lewis Carroll's famous Lobster Quad- rille from l'Alice in Wonderland and the first part of Vachel Lindsay's Congo, Another very important piece was Lew Sarrett's Squaw Dance, The choir is open to both boys and girls and had twenty senior mem- bers the last semester. The members were chosen by tryouts and the mem- bership limited to thirty voicesg twenty light voices and ten dark voices. The group worked out its own interpretation of the poetry and strove to give a definite balance in the artistic expression demonstrated. The numbers studied by the group were divided into parts of antiphonal numbers, rhythmatics, and refrains and ballads recitations. The aim of the group was to become experienced in Choric Drama. This verse speaking choir has made several outstanding performances during the last semester. It is the third choir in the city and the first among the Big 12 schools.

The only touchdown of the game was made by Baker on a plunge through the line. In the first Big Twelve game, the Beds tied Urbana with a score of 6-6. The Reds second conference game ended with a 6-6 tie between Decatur and Bloomington. This game was the second conference tie for the Reds. After postponing the game twice because of rain, the Decatur Beds crushed St. Teresa with a 26-U score to capture the trophy and city supremacy. For the third time of the season, the Beds played a 6-6 tie. It was a con- ference game with Streator. The Beds beat Lincoln by a score of l2-O. Walters and Baker accounted for the touchdowns. Although Lincoln is a Big Twelve conference member, the game did not count as a conference contest. The game with Mattoon, having been postponed once because of rain, was played at Decatur High field in a sea of mud. The game ended in a scoreless tie, the fourth conference tie for' Decatur. The Beds took their first defeat of the season with a 20-7 score from the Feitshans of Springfield. The Decatur High School football squad closed its l935 season with the annual Springfield Thanksgiving game. Springfield's almost perfect block- ing enabled them to drop the Reds with a 34-7 score. An aerial attack con- ducted by Bauman and Walters accounted for the Reds touchdown. lt was the first touchdown made against Springfield by Decatur since l928. FOR 1936 145 Harold Baker Curly was a good fullback. His plunges through the line often ac- counted for large gains. His ser- vices will be missed next year. Wendell Bauman KYindy was a stocky little full- back who was a big help to the Reds. His passing was outstanding. This year was his last for the Reds. Bob Campbell Bob also was a halfback. He could be depended upon to try to help the team come through on top. He will be back next year. lack Galloway jack was another good end for the Reds. He played hard and did his best whenever in the game. The Reds will have his services again next year. Donald Hamman Don played a guard for the Reds. His defensive playing often held the enemy from a large gain. He will not be back next year. 146 Iohn Ballinger Johnny is another guard who will be missed next year. His services have often held the opposing team back. He was always doing his best to get his man. Ralph Butts This is Butts' first year at high school and he received a letter in football. His services will be a val- uable aid to the team next year. Le Roy Crum Le Roy played the position of tackle. He was dependable, giving his best to the team. He will be lzack next year. Louis Grammer Louis is another guard who ended his football career at high school this year. His good defensive playing was outstanding. He will not be back next year. William Hammer Bill was a sturdy little quarter- back. His offensive playing was out- standing. His aid to the team will he missed next fall. Tl-IE DECANGIS Brown Hennon Brown finished his football career in high school hy playing at guard. He could he depended upon to give his best. Paul Lyon Paul played with the reserves last year but made the first team this fall. He always gave the best he had and will be missed next season. Robert Ray Bob was a very hne captain. He played his position at center very well and gave the team a lot of en- couragement, His activity as leader of the team will be missed next year. Hymie Rubin Hymie was another guard who got his start with the reserves. He was a valuable second-string man who could be depended upon. This was his last year. Thomas Spires Tom closed his career of football at high school by playing tackle for the Reds. His tackling and block- ing were both outstanding. FOR 1936 Lynn Landers l Lynn was a wide-awake and alert earl. He was one uf last year's re- ! serve players who made good this season, Ile will he hack next fall. Gardner Miller Speedy is another tackle who got his start with the reserves lint made the hrst squad this year. This was his last year. Raymond Rostek 'Ray was another halfback who will be back next year. His alertness and earnestness were marked. Melvin Smith Melvin played end for the Reds. He played hard football in a fine fashion.

Decatur High opened its basketball season successfully with an easy 46-15 victory over Sullivan. The entire squad of sixteen players saw action with all but four of them breaking into the scoring column. ln the first Big l2 conference game of the year, the Beds downed Bloom- ington 25-l7. Decatur used its height to advantage on the tip off and in cap- turing rebounds, The Decatur High cagers chalked up their third straight victory as they defeated Monticello 2U-4. Using a man-to-man defense, Decatur held their opponents without a field goal during the entire game. ln the first of their two intra-city tilts with St. Teresa, the Beds whipped their rivals to the tune of 23-8. Decatur set a new record for intra-city com- petition by holding the Bulldogs without a field goal. The Decatur Beds stretched their winning streak to five straight victories by trouncing Charleston 35-8. The game opened slowly but Decatur soon built up a lead that was never overcome. Decatur Highs winning streak came to an end when a strong Edwards- ville five downed the Beds by a 32-23 score. Edwardsville took the lead in the first quarter and protected it throughout the game. ECB l936 149 The Decatur quintet resumed their Winning Ways When they defeated Be- ment 24-12. The Reds again let their defense carry the biggest part of the load as their offense seemed to lag. Decatur was eliminated from the Pontiac tournament when a r'angy Fair- bury team nosed them out by a score of 32-26. Although ousted from the major tourney, the Reds remained in consolation play. Olney eliminated the Reds from Consolation competition when they de- feated Decatur 30-18. Kintner's team dropped behind in the first quarter and were never able to close the gap. ln a slow game the Decatur Red lads overcame Canton 19-ll and scorecl their seventh victory in ten starts. The game was tied at the half and Decatur had to stage a last half rally to annex the victory. Notching its second Big 12 Win of the season, Decatur High defeated Ur- bana 31-22. The game was the most thrilling one seen at the Armory this season with the Reds holding a slight edge all the Way. A rangy Quincy five turned back the Decatur High team by the slim margin of 26-20. The game was in doubt until the last quarter when the visitors rallied to win the game. Decatur tripped Springfield, their most bitter rivals, by the score of 19-15. The victory enabled the Reds to keep their conference record clean with three victories and no losses. The Decatur' cage team chalked up another victory by scraping out a 26-19 Win over Monticello. Their opponents were in the lead at the half but the Reds rallied and overtook their foes in the third quarter. Marking up their fourth straight conference victory, the Reds nosed out Mattoon 26-22. Decatur was in the lead throughout the game although their opponents were always within striking distance. Led by foe Murphy, who was playing his last game for Decatur high, the Reds defeated Sullivan 36-24. The game was close the first half and with the lead changing hands several times but Decatur finally forged ahead and stayed there. Playing before the largest crowd of the year, Decatur high was downed by Bloomington 26-19. It was the first conference defeat for the Reds and dropped them from a first place tie with Danville. T1-IE DECANCDIS 150 Decatur high lost its second game in a row when a strong Brocton five, flashing a neat offense, dropped the Reds 30-19. The game was close the first half but Kintner's team could not keep up after that. For the second time of the season, the Reds romped over St. Teresa by the score of 38-15. Nineteen players saw action for Decatur as they tossed in one basket after another. The Decatur high cagers dropped their second conference game in a row when Urbana bowled them over' by a 31-17 score. Urbana went on a scor- ing spree in the last quarter that netted them fifteen points. Springfield, Decatur's old rival, invaded Decatur long enough to eke out a 19-18 victory. With the score 19 to 14 and three minutes to go Decatur sunk two baskets, but a shot just before the gun went off fell short. Decatur won its fifth conference game when it overcame an early Mat- toon lead and went on to win 32-23. The Reds had their most successful evening of the year at the fr'ee throw line, sinking twelve charity tosses. The Reds dropped their last conference game of the year when Streator edged them out 23-20. Decatur took an early 9-1 lead but could not keep up the pace. Quincy High downed Decatur 21-19 in a very close game. Quincy led all of the first half but the Reds took the lead in the third quarter only to have Quincy slip ahead again and win the game. Decatur High took its worst beating of the year in their final game when a powerful Edwardsville team routed them 37-15. The Reds held an early lead but once their opponents started clicking, the game was no longer in doubt. PCR 1936 151 Harold Baker Curly was one of those fellows who have an unlimited amount of energy and fight. He was always in the thick of the scrap and never let down for a second. Although he barely measured six feet, he secured more than his share of the rebounds. He has another season of play and is expected to help the team a lot. Dean Butt Dean's favorite shot was a drib- ble-in, which he very seldom missed. He was a good rebounder and de- fensive man. He worked hard for two years trying to help the team and he succeeded when he earned a place on the tournament squad. Dean is a senior and will not be back next year. Robert Fisher Smiley was a real ladies' man but even this couldn't compare with his basketball ability. He had a dead eye for the basket and if his guard let up only for a moment Bobby would plunk in a long shot. Although he was not very big, one could often see him rebound a missed shot for two points. Robert McDaniel Mickey was a fast little forward with a keen eye for the basket. He was a good dribbler and passer but was a little too small to make the tournament squad. Mickey was faithful to the team throughout the season and deserves credit for stick' ing to the squad. Ioe Murphy Joe, who finished his career in mid season, was acting captain the first semester. His departure was a great loss to the team 'and he was not easily replaced. Good on both offense and defense, Joe was a hard driver and a good reboundcr. He was the coolest fellow on the team and many times kept the rest of the team from blowing up. 152 Sri 19? I. ,I Wendell Bauman Windy was a fellow who just wouldn't give up. He worked hard and was successful in earning a place on the squad. Although he did not stand out in any one par- ticular thing Windy was a good all around player. Even though he wasn't a star he had plenty to do with winning the championship. William Dearth Bill was a scrappy little forward with speed and ability. Last season he received a broken arm during practice and was lost for the rest of the year. Showing determination he came back this year and earned a place on the tournament squad. He was a big help to the team and had his share in earning the title. Richard Hawkins Dick was a smooth little player with a good eye for the basket but he lacked height which was needed badly on the squad. Only ten play- ers could dress for the tournament and he was one of the unlucky fel- lows who did not flress. 'w , JA Wyw litf 'inane Minick Flat was Decatur's ace high scorer. Throughout the season his consistent scoring helped the Reds tremendously. He was a fine pivot man and in addition a good re- bounder. Almost all of his baskets were made on rebounds and one handed pivot shots. Dale is only a sophomore and will be back for two more years of competition. Kenneth Park Kenny was the best ball handler seen at Decatur High for several years. His dribbling, passing, and ability to work the ball into scoring position were some of the main reas- ons for Decatur's successful season. Kenny will be back next year and is expected to do great things. THE DECANOIS Edwin Reynolds liddie was the smallest player 1.n the squad but he made up for his lack of height by his speed and eye for the basket. lid was not eligible until the second semester but he im- mediately gained :t startling position and became an important cog in the team. He will return for the tirst semester only. Victor Walters Smokie Joe, the fastest player on the squad, was always on his toes ready to grab a loose ball or go in after a rebound. Always a hard tighter and one of the best defensive men. Vic will be eligible for the first semester only next year. William Brown Bill is one of the best cheer lead- ers Decatur High has had for sev- eral years. He seemed able to make the crowd yell against their own will. At the state tournament it was generally agreed that Decatur had the best yell leaders on the ROOT. Bill will be hack next year to help the team. I 21+ 7 .

Vharlie is a senior and will graduate this year. Paul Weingcmd Patil was by far the tallest player on the team. He was able to reach up in the vicinity of the backboard and boost the ball into the basket. He was not a star at tirst but near the end of the season his rebound shots pushed the team to victory. Paul's height and clear thinking made him a very valuable player to the team. He is a senior and will not be back next year, Robert Weiner Bob was Bill Brown's partner and the two of them made a pair that is hard to beat. Bob was a state champ when it came to leading cheers. At every home game one could see Bob and Bill out on the floor leading the crowd and spurring the team on to greater effort. Bob will be out on the floor next year. . , . Monticello ..

September 3 Everybody ankled down to the ole mau- soleum just to say, Good morning, dear teachers, immediately putting one and all in a most angelic mood. Thus making the atmosphere even more mausoleum-like. Wednesday. September 4 Honestly, this place is rank with green Sophs-one of whom asked the Williams gal if she had ever been up here before. Nank replied, Oh, once or twice! Which, no doubt, is too true to be funny. The lower hall is iammed with people wanting their programs changed. We wish to express to Miss Hickey our sincerest sympathy. Thursday. September 5 The Observer auditorium went off with a bang-simply lousy with puns fwhich, by the way, seem to be quite popular these daysl. Iean Condon Went into a perfectly divine dance, all dim lights and chiffon. Get the idee? Friday. September 6 Hnd then there's the one about a cer- tain dignified senior, Kyle by name, who almost went home at the end of sixth hour. When finally dawn broke, she dashed clear up to Miss Fike's English class. Poor thing, she was probably a little confused by the first week of school! Monday. September 9 Iudging by sounds fthat is stating it mildlyl issuing from the Masonic Temple last Friday night, the De Molay Hobo Dance must have been quite a success. Several quaint little dances were exe- cuted on the front steps, and if you can think of a more public place fexcept the transfer housel just bring it forward. Per- haps certain people wanted to display their glad ragsl Tuesday. September 10 Several remarks have been made as to why the fire Wagons always pass dur- ing first hour. It has been discovered that the siren-like sounds come not from little red wagons but from little red lanes-just the G-lee Clubs starting the day off right. Wednesday. September 11 The chemistry department is off again. The worst odorsl Hlso, people are al- ways burning holes in their clothing. Hsk FOR 1936 Elizabeth Duerr about a certain blouse. Rnd maybe Bette Patterson will tell about her experiences with sulphuric acid. Thursday. September 12 Out riding this afternoon the pride and joy of the house of Mackey mooed chum- mily to a cow in a pasture by the road. Everyone was quite surprised when the cow replied in kind. Lois pretended to be quite proud, but she seemed just a little embarrassed-you know-one cow to an- otherl Friday. September 13 Hnd all the teachers are giving tests! Oh, well, an excuse for flunking. The Glee Clubs and Ole King Cole are throwing a brawl in the gym tonight. Ev- eryone will probably be black as cole!! Oooohl Eee-naughl Monday. September 16 The Seniors of '36 held their first meet- ing this H. M. and it was snappyl The business lasted every bit of five minutes -temporary chairman Iohn McKeown ap- pointed Ioan Walraven, Elizabeth Duerr, and Monroe Meador to the constitutional committee. Wonder who the new officers will be? Tuesday. September 17 Pill the little football boys sat upon folding chairs upon the stage while the junior high coaches and Mr. Kintner and Mr. White pepped, Mr. Nelson implored everyone to buy a season ticket, and Ken- ny Parks and his mates inspired us with absolutely vicious yells. Flfter which Mr. Stearns called us all pansies! Oh, well, life has its ups and downsl Wednesday. September 18 The new shorthand teacher arrived to- day. When informed that her name was Miss Poynter, Iudy Nertz Mertz said, Now maybe you'll all get the point! Hnd they hang picturesll Thursday. September 19 Mr. Sprunger told Bud Bissey and Doro- thy Stivers that they were getting too friendly. What ever gave him that idea? Not Iames and Hnnabelle, by any chance? Why does that other flower of the Sti- vers family always drop into chorus look- ing like somebody had taken an egg- beater to her hair?

They don't like it either, so the other night they slept in the car down by the Herald and Review. ln spite of all they overslept and a police- man had to wake them up. Monday, September 23 The Senior Class adopted the constitu- tion in the meeting this morning. The Reds certainly took Charleston for a ride Saturday-8 to 0. Everybody knock on wood! Tuesday, September 24 Nank Williams has a habit of sneezing in 322. Maybe it's something in the air- Hnyway it seems to be quite upsetting. Fred Gilman likes lipstick so Well he tries to eat it-Walt Murfin, on the other hand, does his best to remove it-wait, that sounds badl tlt wasn't, really.l Wednesday, September 25 Flbout half the students are sleep-walk- ing today. Kay Kyser was the cause. It is our private and very humble opinion that he was worth it. Walter Flora lost his bet on the Baer- Louis fight. Consequently he ate a ham- burger in Miss Eike's English class. Hm, sounds kinda goodl Thursday, September 26 Ioan Walraven's shoe was passed around 322 study today. Gregg is so play- full That Larsen boy is more polite every day. He even says, Pardon me, when he runs into chairs. Three chairs for Rus- sell! Friday, September 27 Speaking of brainy people, tif you Werel, Susie Stivers wrote Holy Roller instead of Holy Roman Empire on a re- cent test paper. Bad as Sloke insisting that Germany and France are the best sources of nitrates in the United States. Monday, September 30 Iudging from some of the speeches made in senior meeting the elections are going to be hotly contested. We were forced out into the cold, cold blast this morning by a fire drill. Rnd it only took fifteen minutes! FOR 1936 Tuesday, October 1 Decatur High School grieves over the death of Miss Edith Vance, girls' gym in- structor. Miss Vance's death resulted from injuries received when she was horse- back riding Saturday. Wednesday, October 2 Memorial services for Miss Vance this morning. Thursday, October 2 Russell Larsen was elected senior pres- ident, with Ioan Walraven for vice-presi- dent, loan Gregory, secretary, Paul Lyon, treasurer, and Roy Swartz and William Kelley, sergeants-at-arms. Margaret Flllen paid out a whole nickel this noon to inform her mother of Russell's victory. She was so excited she could hardly speakl Friday, October 4 Poor Little Natt Hammer wrecked his bi- cycle today. He says he tried to move a truck and his bike couldn't take it. Neither could he, evidently-he's all bunged up. Decanois Dime Dance, and Harold Wish- er drew the door prize-a sketch by Caro- line Schlie. Bet he hung it right over his bed. Monday, October 7 Community Chest drive began this morning. Lois Van Deventer and Monroe Meador, the big-hearted souls, contributed tokensl Tuesday, October 8 Saw Miss Pease at the show the other night, and-gentlemen, hushl - she was cracking her gum! Wednesday, October 9 Red and White Day - Gardner Miller blossomed out in white plus-fours lor eightsl and White shoes painted a deli- cate pink. Maybe his patriotism was fadedl Flbout noon we got our hankies-the St. Teresa game was postponed on account of rain. The rain didn't keep Flristos and Hgora from holding their annual Weiner roast, however. The best pep meeting ever this after- noon-such a lot of enthusiasm and no game to use it on. l 167 PUBLISHED BI-WEEKLY TTHEOBSERVER News Editorials Pictures Cartoons Betty,s Letter 25 Cents per Semester .

Tuesday. October 15 Chick Irish is quite the sailing enthu- siast. Ht least he was. Perhaps his ar- dor was a little dampened by a spill in the lake when his boat overturned.

We are sometimes forced to wonder Whose brain-children these titles are. Tri-Y also overreaching itself tonight- scavenger hunt and dance. We're getting up in the world! Monday.

October 25 Senior committees appointed-including social, floral, scholarship, and play com- mittees. The Iunior Flrt League gave a very ef- fective dime dance this aft. The Blue Masque, they called it. Monday. October 28 Some say that the reason Bard Lyon looks so happy is that Harris sent her six -count 'em-six chrysanthemums for her birthday.

We're all prepared to lick Spring- field tomorrow night. Oh dear, hope Ken- ny Parks will be able to play. Incidental- ly, Lee Moorehead certainly has a lot of credit coming to him for his school spirit. Friday. February 14 Nobody can talk 'cause they all lost their voices, yelling at the game. Even if we were one point behind at the finish, it was a mightly good game. Monday. February 17 Lavendar and old lace Coughlin broke another rib yesterday. Skiing this time- the big cow. Hnyway it's a better story than running into a telephone pole. Tuesday. February 18 If you can think of anything less tasty than a week-old doughnut stuffed with glue, just tell Elizabeth Duerr. She'd like to feed it to Monroe Meador. Wednesday. February 19 Dress rehearsal for The White-headed Boy. Noise and confusion. Nobody can find their clothes. Nobody can find Miss Foran. Sad. Thursday. February 20 lt's thawing and it's very sloppy out. Bette Patterson fell down and got her tum- my all wet. Friday. February 21 The White-headed Boy was a major success in every respect. ln fact, we were told that it was the best play the high school has ever produced. Monday. February 24 You'd never believe it, but Little Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad Wolf are two of Flristos' new members. Ht least their names were on the membership list. We might suggest a couple respectable sen- iors . . . Tuesday. February 25 This hyar book what you're reading put on a swell show this morning over station D. H. S. in the Decatur High Theater. Wal- ter Flora as Major Bowes really had some good amateurs-Ioan Walraven, Maria Ka- relas, Bea Dickman, Walter Obermeyer - FOR l936 lah, when the birds begin to twitter and the ducks begin to wobble-wobble.l We might add that a couple of very important seniors took some front row seats and were ejected TWICE by insignificant sopho- moresl Wednesday. February 26 Mask and Wig had a tea today. Half the club was amazed when the other half broke out with Happy Birthday to You until they saw Delina blush. Thursday. February 27 Does that little Lloyd gal ever rate the attention. She got a telegram telling her that a special was on its way, and when it came-twenty pagesl Friday. February 28 Happy Birthday againl Sloke and Lee Moorehead celebrated together. Lee gave Flnne a chisel and she presented him with some goldfish. Both presents were beauti- fully wrapped but still faintly suggestive. Monday. March 2 Some fun Saturday night-the 29th, you know. There was a big leap-year dance and several private parties. For once the fellows got to fool around upstairs and make the gals talk to their folks. Tuesday March 3 Coughlin looks too sweet with a bunch of pansies pinned to his heaving bosom. Don't ask me what the point is. Wednesday. March 4 Poor little Willy Hamrnerl Was he ever sore when some unknown gallant stole his gal the other night. Took her home 'n' ev- erything. We didn't think any girl would two-time you. Bill. Thursday. March 5 We had a cute little poem all picked out to print here and the Observer stole a march on us. Friday. March 6 Scene: Chemistry lab.

March I2 The sectional tournament opened last night and we played Hthens this evening -and wot I mean we really played 'eml Downed them 20-19. Friday the Thirteenth It's a lucky day for us-pep meeting at the armory this afternoon and we beat Springfield tonight 37-l9l Monday. March I6 Wheel We play in the state tournament. We beat Macon Saturday night and were going to lick the tar out of our opponents at Champaign. Tuesday. March I7 Not as much green around the room as we expected. Our next-to-the-last pep meeting was held this H. M. The last one will be after we win the state championship. Wednesday. March 18 This DeMolay minstrel show does bring out a lot of Eleanor Powells and Ginger Rogerses. Thursday. March I9 Played Peoria Manual at the state tour- nament and won l7-13.

March 21 Dale Minick saved our necks this after- noon by making a basket in about the last three seconds of the game, leaving the score lohnston City 19, Decatur 20. HHIL THE CHQMPIONS ll! Danville hadn't lost a game all year but we CWED were too much for them. The final score was 24-27. Monday. March 23 More excitement than this town has ever seen. The school was in an uproar till 9:00 o'clock when we all leaked over to the Lincoln for a celebration. We more than filled the place up, too. Everybody made speeches, and clapped at the end of every sentence if they could wait that long, and Mr. Heinle even read us a poem he wrote. Then Kenny presented the trophy to Mr. Sayre and we all rode around town for hours blowing horns etc. It was a holi- day-no school 'tall. Tuesday. March 24 Maybe those boys aren't heroes around here! Park, Weingand, Baker, Reynolds, Minick, and Dearth are trailed every step by-oh, anyway hundreds of Decatur's fairest flowers. Wednesday. March 25 Double auditorium for H Cappella and Verse Choirs. Don Hamman, Bill Ham- mer, and Rupert Harlow very much regret that they failed to join Verse Choir this semester. Thursday. March 26 We payed out our money to see ourselves in the Observer movies and what did we see? Everybody else. Considering the way everybody else looked, however, we're rather glad we dicln't see ourselves. Hh, me, 'twas some fun, I'll say. Friday. March 27 Teachers' Institute today. Spring vaca- tion next week. No school till Plpril 6. Monday. Hpril 6 Talk about the day after the night be- forel This day is after eleven nights be- fore and maybe we-all aren't showing it. Of course were having lovely sunshine after wading through snow and rain all vacation. 195 Do You Know . . . ? That young people of Decatur can attend Millikin at less expense than would be involved in attending any other institution? That Millikin is rated Class A by the University of Illinois and has been a member of the North Central Asso- ciation since 1914? That Millikin's credits are accepted by any institution of higher learn- ing? That no small college in the Middle West offers so wide a variety of courses? That you will find Millikin alumni prominent in almost every business and profession in Decatur? THE JAMES MILLIKIN UNIVERSITY THE DECANOIS Row I.

We think of them as big-eared, tough creatures that hail from Hfrica and live to be hundreds of years old. Not so-Few elephants in Hmerica come from Hfrica. and only the specie from the dark continent have large ears. Their span of life is about that of average humans and as for toughness-a diminutive mahout. or a tiny mouse can cause them to quake with fright. Such beliefs about elephants can cause no one diffi- culty. unless. perhaps he is a circus employee, but mis- beliefs about the engraving business can be expensive and disappointing. Photo Engraving is not mechanical. It is an art, and a very exacting art which requires many years of apprenticeship and a thoro study of the fundamentals of printing. If you would be interested in seeing engravings made. and learning more about this business of making repro- ductions for printing. we would be glad to have you call us for an appointment. Note: The elephant illustrated above was executed in clay by one of our artists. KANE ENGRAVING COMPANY -- Bloomington and Decatur Tuesday. Rpril 7 Hail the curbstone sitters-Hllen and Hall.

He said he just learned that West Point is in the east and during the Civil War the north was in the south-can you blame him? Wednesday.

Pill very much like spring. Thursday.

Better be careful, they send some people to Dun- ning for that. Tuesday. May 19 Say, does anyone know who Roy Swartz' little gal friend is? They're seen everywhere together, and the rest of the gals are jealous. Don't be selfish with yourself, Roy. Wednesday.

Eleanor Schudel: Oh, I had on a black beret, tan shoes, and a tweed sports dress. Annie Slocum: I can't go to school today, mother, I don't feel well. Mother: Where is it you don't feel well?

FOR 1936 201 Mr. Nelson was trying to get his class to understand something about the ether. What is it that pervades all space, he asked, something which no wall or door can shut out? The smell of boiling cabbage, spoke up Hymie Rubin. Business Man: Before I can engage you, you will have to pass an in- telligence test. Katie Seibert: Intelligence test? Why, the ad said you wanted a steno- 'grapher. The man who gives in when he is wrong, said the orator, is a wise man, but the man who gives in when he is right is - Married, said Bussell, meekly.
