Barbara Gauger and Harriet Gill planned the division sheets with Dean during the sum- mer vacation of last year. Jack Holloway, Alfred Tick, and William Kileen ofthe 19-10 staff have done almost the entire photographic business of the book except for the portraits and the individual basketball pictures which were made by the Lindquist Studio. Lindquists also made the choir picture, the publications picture, and the scholarship picture for the view section. Alfred Tick made the band picture and William Kileen the program and the ath- letics pictures. DECANOIS 4 ,W N - Q v n 1 P x W w r E 9 1 940 ABBOTT, IRA ADAMS, GENE ADAMS, PEGGY ADAMSON.

Jack, also a charter mem- ber ofthe honor society, served as its president until he graduated in the mid-year class. At that time he was chosen salutatorian of his class. He played one of the roles in The Imiginary Invalid, was first place winner in the inter-society oration contest, and was a photographer for the Decanois.

DECANOIS LINCOLN HONORS JEAN JOHNS 1940 MARY W. FRENCH HONORS NANCY DOWNING 'I15 JED TUCKER Jed Tucker and Nancy Downing were chosen winners, respectively, of first and second honors in the Mary VV. French awards. This is one of the highest honors given to any two members of the senior class. Jed has been very active on the Observer staff' and was editor of it during his senior year. He had one of the four leads in the senior class play and has been very active in many of the extra-curricular activities. Nancy was vice- president of the sophomore class, treasurer of the junior class, and has served on the Decanois staff for two years. Both are members of the National Honor Society. These awards are made possible by the gift of Miss French of 51,000 to the school board when she resigned after forty years of teaching in Decatur High School. Jed will receive S30 and Nancy, 220 at commencement time. These students must have not only a high scholastic average but must be good citizens, serving the school willingly and unselfishly.

The dance club was organized early in the spring of 1939 and the name, HR. YY. D. R., was chosen by the members. The name stands for this motto, Red and White dance rightf' The organization was composed of a group of students who had finished their required period in the beginning dancing class. They felt that they wanted to continue meeting together to become better dancers through practice. Thus the dancing club was formed for that purpose-to improve dancing technique through weekly meetings. The club meets every Wednesday afternoon ninth hour in room 331. Dues pay for dance records and the party given at least once a semester when the dancing class are guests. Membership is limited to fifteen boys and fifteen girls chosen by vote from the beginning dancing class. Miss Dorothy Wilhelmy advises the club.

Jack was probably our most outstanding performer this season. His brilliant performances through the season won him a tackle berth on the All-State team. This was all the more remarkable because of illness and numerous injuries. He also handled the kick-offs and the signal calling for the last two games. DECANOIS 1. CHARLES MOORE. Charlie was hailed as one of the iron men of the squad because he competed in every minute of every game. He was one of the most consistent ball carriers and handled most ofthe signal calling. He has climaxed three years of play in a versatile, brilliant fashion. 2. EDWARD GRIESBAUM. Although he was one of the smaller fellows on the team, he proved that size is not indicative of power. Ed played blocking back for the major portion of the season till he was moved to the end position because of injuries on the team. This was his last year of play. 3. EVERETT IIIMAN. Ev. is one of the more promising prospects of th-e coming year. He got in his quarters at both the wing half and tailback positions. He was a very fast runner and should develop into a fine ball-carrier. He has two seasons yet to play. 4. JOSEPH JONES. Joe was also one of the better backs this year. His abilities as runner, kicker, and passer were a great asset to the team. He was a steady performer and known for his hard tackles. joe has played the last of three good seasons for D. H. S. 5. VVILLIAM HADLEY. The heaviest regular on the squad was Bill. He had the ability to crash through an offensive line by brute force. Bill was a standout performer on the B Squad team of 1938 and returned this season after a year's absence because of ineligibility. His services will be missed greatly next year. 6. ELMER I-IARSHBERGER. One of the largest boys on the squad, he proved that weight was a great advantage. His Strongest point was his defensive play. He was a sophomore this year and should have two highly successful years ahead of him. He played the other tackle position and should be able to fill Capt. Butt's place very capably. 7. BOB OSWALD. Bob, better known as Monk of Tyrone played a very smashing game at guard. On defense he backed up the line in a most spectacular fashion. Typical of his alertness, he intercepted a pass and raced 40 yards for the winning touchdown in the Mattoon game. Bob will graduate this spring. 8. ROBERT SWIFT. After playing on the B squad all season, Bob was moved up to the AH team and was called upon to play the major part ofthe three remaining games. Bob played end and was a standout on defense, his specialty was snagging passes just over the line. He will be a returning letterman. 9. BILL MCFADDEN. As a reward for a line season of play, Mac has been elected to serve as co-captain for the coming year. Although bothered by an early knee injury, Bill played a bang-up game at end. He could always be counted on to keep up the spirit ofthe team by his peppy chatter and fiery spirit. 10. FRANK MILES. Frank is a football player of the scrappiest order. He played a hard driving game from the blocking back position. As defensive safety man, he would always be counted upon for an excellent punt return. Frank can also play at half-back and can do an excellent job of signal calling. He will return next fall. 11. BOB DANSBY. Doggy Dan the basketball man is also a dandy football player. His great size and speed were of value to him in playing the vital left half position. To his deadly accurate passing can be accredited many of the long gains of the season. Bob will be around to do his stuff next year. 12. RUSSELL OPLINGER. Op was our fullback this season. He is a Stockily built fellow with a pair ofhard-driving legs. His special- ty was short gains through the line, but could break away on occasion. Russ handled most of the kicking, and at times uncorked some phenominal bouts. We are looking forward to a great performance from him next fall. 13. BOB HALE. A tall, rangy boy, Bob was ideally built for the end position he played. He was an excellent blocker at offensive, and the enemy found him a hard man to get around on defense. He was especially adept at getting down the field under punts. Bol:'s good nature will be missed around the field for the coming campaign. 14. PAUL JETER. Although he lacked -he size generally attributed to the position, Paul turned in a very ssrappy game at guard. He was a dandy blocker and on defense was always a threat at breaking through the opposing line. His usual calm attitude was decidedly changed on the playing field. Paul can be counted on to turn in a great game next year. 15. JAMES R. SMITH. The other iron man of- the squad is co-captain elect, jim Smith. He not only played every minute of the season, but played each one of them well. Much of the success of the back field can be traced to his fine passes from center. Together with the other returning .11 lettermen, he will be a great aid in forming a powerful forward wall. Vi l I I I I i l I l .I 5 .l l 1 'I ,l .Il ll .ll I 4 QI X.

He got into several games playing at end and may develop into a regular at that position. He has also had ex- perience as a back. RooER WEBB. Roge was a tall, lanky, re- serve end. His happy-go-lucky nature has won friends for him both on the Held and orf. Shot- sie's chatter and play were equally enthusiastic. Inexperi- enced intil this season, he be- came a good blocker and tackler and should make his place next year. ROBERT KIRBY. Before he was forced out of the game, in mid-season by a broken linger, Bob showed great prospects of becoming an expert blocking back. Bob, as a soph- omore, is well built and should develop into a splendid gridder. RALPH HERSHFELT. Ralph is large in build and was worked in occasionally at tackle. There was an enthusiasm in his tackling and blocking that is seldom excelled. Not lacking in spirit, he was a valuable reserve to have around if for no other reason than his cheerfulness. He is a graduating senior. JAMES VVILLIAMS. ,lim is a light-footed, shifty ball carrier. Due to his lack of size, he saw little action. With the proper seasoning he shoald become an A-1 back for next, his senior year. His pluck demon- strates the faithfulness needed in a good reserve. DARRELL CASSELL. Cassell, though he saw no action, showed to all that he had the necessary spirit that comes in a good football player. Ample proof of this was his regular attendance at practice despite the fact that he lives in Forsyth. He earned his D his senior year by playing in the line. 911 N 3-1 ' if , . 52 i , wiki' PHILIP OSWALD. Phil had the disadvantage of being a reserve center, a position in which there were no sub- stitutions. He did make an occasional appearance at guard. Though small compared to his brother Bob, he turned in an excellent performance. He, too, is a senior. RALPH PIERSON. Although he made no appear- ance this season, we are looking forward to two more years of fine play from Ralph. Though he had very little previous experi- ence, he has the size and ability to make a fine letterman. ELMER MAJOR. Despite the fact that an in- jured ankle kept him from break- ing into the line-up, Elmer show- ed lots of ability on the gridiron. He is one of the fellows who has received little glory for playing an important part. He is graduat- ing in June with high-honors. JAMES M. SMITH. One of the fellows that never seemed to hit his best stride is Jim He is a fast elusive back field man and his tackling is hard to beat He is now enrolled in St Teresa Academy and is unlikely to return to D H S 6 I J: iw 4 '03 H 1 u if Zh.:-51' V- ar. , fp my Sept.
