All of the service clubs and church organizations of the city threw their entire sup- port and prestige behind this drive, working as hard as the choir members themselves to this end. But the greatest tribute paid to the choir and Miss Doll was the Echaniz Concert sponsored by the Rotary, Lions, and Kiwanis clubs. Mr Echaniz donated his services. Although tired by their long and successful cam- paign for funds but full of confidence in themselves and their directors, the choir started on their longjourney Thursday, May 15, which was to end with so much honor. This honor, the choir felt, rightfully belonged to their directors-Miss Doll for her thorough and general supervision, Mr. Kortkamp for his work with the ensembles. alt was anything but a pleasure trip though lots of fun was enjoyed by the choir members. The days in Flint were spent in practice when the contests were not being held. The nights, supposedly spent in sleep, were given over almost entirely to foolery. The grand finale of this contest was held in a huge auditorium on Saturday evening, May 17. All of the choirs, singing as one chorus, were directed by Mr. Christenson, famed choral composer and director. Following this, the rating of the separate chorus groups was given. Decatur High School A Capella choir was granted the single first class rating among the Class A schools. When the decision was announced, bedlam broke out among the winners and raged until the return home on Monday, May 19. Then they were awakened to the cold realization that school was awaiting them.

Mrs. Bender arranged the contest to com- memorate her father who was a great admirer of Lincoln. This year the boy chosen for this award was James Wetzel and the girl Betty Pat Frye. The entrants were judged upon essays written about Lincoln, upon the delivery of these essays, and upon citizenship. This Man Lincoln was the title of Jim's essay.

The Greenwood house is de- serted, supposedly. But first a flashlight beams and then goes out. A man disappears up the stairway. Then Clair Greenwood and Bob Morris tumble into the dark room on a treasure hunt. Before long, the room begins to take on all the aspects of Grand Central Station, more people walk in and out of the place- appear and disappear, sometimes mysteriously, and sometimes for prefectly logical reasons. Miss Julia Greenwood CAunt Iulial has come out with her maid, Ellen, and her chauffeur, Leonard, to escape the noisy celebrations of the city. Kate Bagley and Eddie Bower have come on a ghost watch to get a story for the paper, since there is a story going the rounds that the old Greenwood place is haunted. Howard goes and comes out of a hidden door in the bookcase which leads to the secret room. When Mr. Smith turns up carrying an apparently unconscious Paula, there is no doubt about it-something not al- together on the perpendicular is going on here. Mr. Hardman has always been a faithful lawyer and friend, and when he starts creeping around with a gun and gets in a tangle with Joe, he looks a bit doubtful. Mr. Smith says he is a G-man, but Paula finds out he is something different. The secret room turns .out to be two secret rooms, the counterfeiting press is just a cover-up for more important things. In Shflffi 011 of the rooms has been used as a laboratory where experiments have been completed Cby the end Of the thlrdlactj on a powerful explosive made from peanuts. 'Ih1s was the desire of Grandpa Greenwood, and he had left specific instructions before his death that the work he had begun should be carried out. So, in the end, Mr. Smith is discovered to be a foreign agent trying to get information about the secret for- mula. Eddie Bower, thought to be a newspaper photo- grapher, turns out to be a G-man . . . and he nabs Mr. Smith shortly after the latter's escape from the house. The U.S. Government is in on the experiments with the peanuts, of course, and one of the most powerful of weapons possible is put in the hands of the Nation- al Defense powers when the story is hnally told in full. There is the love angle, too. There is happiness ahead for joe and Ellen, and for Bob and Clair.

Classes of 1909 and 1911, the Junior Art League, and a few De- catur citizens presented the mural to the school. 171 1 l l I i 'x 'Q' Q K iw! war, K i fbefwflfe Dehigile, Decatur High Girls' League, consists of representatives chosen from among the girls in each home room of the school.

Established in 1940, it has as its purposes that of promoting a democratic spirit among the girls of the school, providing for social contact of all classes, and being of service to the school and community. The active executive work of the organization 'is carried out through a council composed of one repre- sentative from each home-room, which meets weekly, the proceedings of which are carried back to the home- rooms. To enable the members to become acquainted, a party was held soon after its semester organization, in which Bingo and getting-acquainted-games be- came the cheif entertainment. During the past year, the activities have been varied. One of the first undertakings has been the selling of tickets for the P. T. A. play day and for the National Honor Society play. Then there was the courtesy campaign with its playlets and posters, ushering at contests, and at the dedication of the new gymnasium. At the beginning of the semester, Dehigile Council members assisted at the information desk and served as guides for incoming sophomores, followed a little later in the term by a party given in honor of these new girls. Each semester at its close, Dehigile members volunteer to be Big Sisters to the new girls and continue to assume that responsibility throughout the semester. Since the girls seemed interested in helping war- torn countries, Dehigile sponsored a very successful sale Of Chinese stamps. 173 1 5 ,- - l a l ' 7 W faiilmieiziil This year at Christmas, Dehigile Council adopted a family of eleven for a project and supplied them clothing, food, and gifts. YVith war-service becoming so prominent in the Decatur lfligh School the Council has undertaken the making of scrapbooks on varied projects, for the men in service. At a ceremony presented in the auditorium last spring the following officers were installed: President-Mary Jones, Vice PresindetkBlai1ne Edwards, Secretary-Jola Kuntzg Treasurer-Pau ricia Schanielg Parliamentarian-Candace ,Kesterg Adviser-Miss Schropp. DEHIGILE LUCKY PEIIY , F, 044, ' ' C 6 LUCKY PENNY Ns- 4, 09 ,. .M .-, FMDKY Q 'LQQ-ii i E' G 'dmv ,wg 6.4- E 1 'we-P5 , 4 in 41 H , S' , ., V 1 1 5 ae , , ia-f 1 lf M N Gheu GM' Reading around the letter C , members of Chess Club are june Drum, Theodore Knuth, Jack Parker, Bill McArty, Dave Sober, Dale Pogue, Phyllis Hoh- rein, Dick Foltz, Virginia Telling, Alfred Deverell, Dale Causey, Mary Dillinger, Ruthellen Rozanski, Earl Ose, Robert Baker, Marvin Bell, lla Smith, and Helen Leech.

L . as The debate season 'started off with a bang last fall when the club had a wiener roast at Fairview Park. The members soon learned that there was considerably more to debating than weiners, however. Hours of pondering over heavy volumes in the library seemed to be necessary. This year's question, Resolved-that every able- bodied male citizen in the United States should be required to have one year of full-time military train- ing before attaining the present draft age, was of special interest because current affairs were changing so fast, every day brought a new light on the subject. Mr. Lamar had to start from scratch this year and develop a debate team that would at least make an attempt to uphold the school's previous record. Almost all the members of last year's team and even the alternates graduated in June, 1941 or January, 1942. It is essential to start debating when asopho- more or a junior. The members of the club debated each other for practice at first, and then about November the teams started debating other schools. They participated in debates at Lincoln, Newton, Charleston, Vandalia, Y and Lauphier High School in Springfield. The negative and afHrmative teams had each participated in 13 debates by the end of February. I The significance of debate lies in the fact that it gives those interested a chance to develop public speaking ability. Debating helps one to think clearly, speak Huently, and make a pleasing appearance. Not only is the art of debating developed, butstu- dents learn to do various other things after experienc- ing a debate trip. Since Mr. Lamar is never without his sack of apples, the debators must either develop a taste for the fruit or go hungry. It seems that de- bators often express themselves through music. fOr at least we'd call it that to be polite.D At any rate, many have developed a lengthy repertoire of songs that last from here to Newton! . Decatur High School has the great satisfaction Of having a debate coach who can produce a champion- ship team if he is given the material. This same coach can make fun out of hard work, an art which, needless to say, all the debators greatly appreciate.

VVith the downpour of rain came the downfall of curls, ruining those important first impressions. SEPTEMBER 3 With the return ofgridiron practice, we welcome the new football coach, Maynard l'Pat O'Brien, and the new captain, Ev Inman. SEPTEMBER -1 Boys, have you noticed these cute nee sophs, Jane Norris, Gen Howell, Joan Clark, and Carolyn lxuny? But then, how could you help it? SEPTEMBER 5 The Omega club celebrated the first week of school bv giving a nifty nickolodean dance. Mary Myrvold and Archie Chilton, Helen Cushing and Virgil VVard, and Virginia Osborne and Harold Lindsay were among those happy hep-cats present. SEPTEMBER 8 Bill Franklin came to Trig class this afternoon with the remains of his lunch splattered all over him. It seems those clever CPJ senior boys, Roy Mudspeth, Bob Kirby, Jack Huss, and several others staged a blitzkrieg with food for amunition. SEPTEMBER 9 A Cappella announced its new ofhcersz Robert VVilliams, president, Sam Nelson, vice-presidentg Annette McDonald, secretary, and Jim VVetzel, treasurer. SEPTEMBER 10 Girls took advantage of the sudden drop in .temper- ature by blossoming out in their new fall skirts and sweaters. SEPTEMBER 11 . Betty Ficker, the new Observer editor, is being as- sisted by a very capable staff. SEPTEMBER 12 Everyone bumped to-night to the booms-a-daisy which was introduced by Jack Coombe and his orches- tra at the Job's Daughters dance. The slick Hoor seemed to be causing Fred Carrier some trouble. Bet- ty Shaw and Gene Chilton, Ethel Goad and Harold Deakins, Beverly Busher and Bill Olendorf, and Mae McFadden and Fred Leech didn't seem to mind though. SEPTEMBER 15 Someone should really investigate the goings on of Miss Connard's fifth hour speech class! SEPTEMBER 16 The senior constitution committee met for the first time to-day. SEPTEMBER 17 The fall tournament of candidates for the tennis team is under way. SEPTEMBER 18 The clock-watchers didn't have such a long wait to. day for school was out forty minutes early. SEPTEMBER 19 Yea red!! Yea white!!-The football season began today with a pep meeting in the new gym where we met the players and the new coaches. Lady Luck ran out on us at Rock Island tonight, however, for the Reds were defeated 18-0. SEPTEMBER 22 Time: Blue Monday Place: Halls of D. H. S. Characters: Students with bags under eyes, fallen arches, and drooping shoulders. Reason: Weekend of dances, namely, Demolay on Friday and Debonnaire on Saturday. Incidently, that man-about-town, Dale Long, seemed to be enjoying himself immensely both nights but with different girls. SEPTEMBER 23 Current fads: ear rings, rims of glasses painted red with nail polish, pearls reaching way below the waist. SEPTEMBER 24 Class oHicers were nominated in the first senior meeting this morning. SEPTEMBER 25 Bake has been buying nothing but Hollywood shoes since Dewey started working in the new shoe store. SEPTEMBER 26 First home football game. Decatur triumphed over Mattoon tonight, winning the game with a 12-7 score. Just everyone was at the Delta Debs' dance after- wards.

Jim Davis declining and then reentering the list of candidates for treasurer. fbecanaia OCTOER I Fire! Fire l-false alarm, it's only a fire drill, OCTOBER 2 J The Dodger and Yankee fans are beginning to get all het up over the World Series games. OCTOBER 3 Dark themes seemed to be carried out to-day. The Hrst dime dance of the season held by Verse Choir was called a black-out'l dance. Also, Whiting de- feated our football team 6-O. To top it all off, the weather was dreary and damp. OCTOBER 6 Some of the lucky people who swung and swayed to Sammy Kaye tonight were Judy Sly and Jack March, Helen Armstrong and Keith Peters, Patsy Temme and Harold Deakins. OCTOBER 7 The new June Senior class ofiicers have been an- nounced. They are: Roy Hudspeth, president, Gus Manoff, vice-presidentg Beverly Busher, secretary, Jim Davis, treasurer.

OCTOBER 14 Mrs. Magnuson has stirred all English classes by her reading of Alice Duerr Miller's book, The White Cliffs. OCTOBER 15 Last night lots of D.H.S. students danced with joy to Jimmie Joy's orchestra. His jive combo really had a kick and was sendin' 'em solid. OCTOBER 16 The love bug has really hit Betty Kellogg and Roger Snelson! They've been going steady for almost two weeks now. OCTOBER 17 The spirits of our football team were not dampened by torrents or rain and slippery mud for in tOnight's game they defeated Urbana 26-O.

OCTOBER 21 The new ofiicers of the Honor Society are: president, Betty Fickerg vice president, Pauline Robyg secretary, Gus Manoffg treasurer, James Wetzel. OCTOBER 22 First report cards today.

The sophomores chosen were Charlotte Dickson and Jayne Anderson, the juniors, Bessie Kerwood and Betty Kiemer, the seniors, Honey Christison and Annette McDonald. OCTOBER 24 The DeMolay dance tonight again had Jack Coomts and his orchestra. Many balloons were tied to the center of the ceiling. During the course of the dance they were let down. When a loud bang inter- rupted I Guess I'll Have to Dream the Rest nobody was surprised, as the excitement of the evening was in seeing who could pop the most balloons. At the right is the Halloweien queen, Honey Christison Ccenterj, with her attendants, Annentte Mc- Donald and Charlotte Dickson. Due to rainy weather, the scheduled Hallowe'en festival had to be can- celed. The coronation was held in- doors and broadcast over WSOY. Each of the girls was given a gold locket and a large bouquet of chrys- anthemums. Even though the pa- rade was called off, the queen and her attendants dressed in the usual robes and capes. They are pictured here as they looked while the coro- nation was being broadcast. OCTOBER 27 The newly elected junior oHicers are: president, David Catlin, vice president Robert Bohon, secretary, WVilliam Barnes, treasurer, Delbert Smithg and parlia- mentarian, Geraldine Hamilton.

OCTOBER 29 The National Honor Society is launching a program to promote organized school spiritg consequently, the seniors met in the auditorium today to rpactice some yells together. The juniors will do the same tomorrow. OCTOBER 30 The past two days have been dark and rainy and there seems to be no let-up in sight for tomorrOw'S Halloween festivities. OCTOBER 31 The Painter's Panic , a dime dance, was given by the Junior Art League this afternoon. The Halloween parade scheduled for tonight was rained out, so the coronation of the queen was broadcast over VV.S.O.'I. The lovely queen was Honey Christison, and her equally lovely attendants were Annette McDOnald and Charlotte Dickson. NOVEMBER 3 Members of the junior and senior classes are be- ginning to be heckled by persistent collectors of class dues.

NOVEMBER 13 The Midyears have selected Sunshine Twins by Dana Thomas for their class play. Bob Heneghan and Mary Lou Carnegie have the leads. NOVEMBER 14 Decatur High was well represented at the game in Bloomington this afternoon. However, the Reds were defeated 6-O in spite ofthe moral support given by the students. NOVEMBER 17 VVell, it's happened again. Orchids Ashemos says-quote-this time it's the real thing-unquote. The object of this affections is that lucky CU girl, Patty Nuckols. NOVEMBER 18 Beverly and Bill were certainly well chaperoned at the Y dance tonight for their devoted parents kept an eagle eye on them from the balcony. What can this mean? 184 2 .I NOVEMBER 19 Old D.H.S. throbbed with excitement and school spirit today as everyone celebrated old clothes day. Many were politely requested Cwell, ordered, thenj to leave school. In the evening almost a thousand students stopped traffic, scared innocent pedestrians, and caused quite a riot as they snake- danced from John's Hill to High School. NOVEMBER 20 VVell, we did it at last! In today's Thanksgiving game we beat Springfield for the first time in twelve years, the score being 19-O. NOVEMBER 21 Rural Forsythe's hot band supplied the music tonight for the highlight ofthe vacation, the Inter- sorority Dance. Just everyone and a few more be- sides were there. Some ofthe funny coms were- Lane Mosby and Audrey Bradfield, Jim Wetzel and Jane Kinnaird, Marvin Seats and Julia Magnuson, Jessie Calfas and Helen Cushing, and Dewey Lemings and Ruthie Dunn. Buster Wilcox's spon- taneous comments about the dance were embodied in the following declaration: Swe1l! NOVEMBER 24 Everyone's basketball spirit was aroused by a prac- tice game which took up all the morning hours. ln addition, the football boys received their letters. A sudden outburst of wild clapping issued from the corner occupied by Dair Denz as Jack Huss was given his award. NOVEMBER 25 A new couple has crashed exclusive D. H. S. society - Goldie Gill and Jessie Calfas. They're cer- tainly hitting it OE well. It seems that absence doesn't make the heart grow fonder. 1944.2 NOVEMBER 26 A very informal senior meeting was held today to encourage Cor discouratej the paying of dues. During the scufiie, Bob Lloyd raced madly around the audi- torium trying vainly to escape from the persistent collectors who were hot on his heels. jim Davis was rewarded for his corny jokes by having a cabbage thrown at him by one of his admiring OJ classmates. As you might have guessed, the impromptu skit was fashioned after the Hellzapoppin show on Broad- way. NOVEMBER 27 ' This little Kiemer gal sure gets around. The latest addition to her list is Bob Thornell. NOVEMBER 28 The basketball season began with a bang tonight in an overwhelming victory over East Aurora. One of the most outstanding players was Dave Catlin. DECEMBER 1 Fred Leach and Mae McFadden seem to have bumped into unforeseen difficulties. Anyway, Fred has been looking very downcast to us recently. DECEMBER 2 Our basketball team won its second victory tonight over the St. Teresa Bulldogs. Judy Sly and Fred Froelich and their dates celebrated their birthdays in the Mill afterwards by giving away birthday cake. DECEMBER 3 That Casanova of the sophomore class, Bill Rotz, has really been Hknockin' 'em cold. He has more than what it takes. Oh! to be a sophomore! Ah me! DECEMBER 4 The midyear play, The Sunshine Twins, kept everyone in stitches. Especially outstanding for per- formances were Mary Lou Carnegie, Bob Heneghan, and Glenn Catlin. DECEMBER 5 Decatur High was so far ahead in their first confer- ence game against Bloomington that it proved almost boring. The final score was 41-27. DECEMBER 8 Feelings and sentiments were strong today because of yesterday's bombing of Pearl Harbor by the laps. The students as a body listened over the radio to President Roosevelt's message to Congress. Congress later almost unanimously declared war. DECEMBER 9 Wanted, a man with a gun! Why? Connie Daniels needs to resort to force to squelch Jack Graves' persistent advances. DECEMBER 10 Another sophomore lady-killer is diminutive but dynamic Jackie Patterson. He has two reserved seats for the basketball games and makes a practice of tak- ing a different girl each time. DECEMBER 11 The Illini tonight was filled almost to overfiowing as the orchestras of both Joe Sanders and Herby Kaye were the attractions. DECEMBER 12 In our most exciting and hair-raising game yet, the Reds defeated Fast St. Louis by a small matter of two points, one small basketl Lee and Dee Alberts, the twin stars of the opposing team, were the chief causes for the thrills. DECEMBER 15 A certain someone at Northwestern must really be something to be worth the letter that Sally Millis sends to him every day. DECEMBER 16 The Christmas spirit reigns high, and everyone is scrambling to get dates and plans made for the holi- days. DECEMBER 17 An assembly was held sixth hour to award prizes to the Herald and Review story contest winners. Harry Picknell's The Thinker won first prize. DECEMBER 18 The A Cappella Choir presented its annual Christ- mas Vesper program. It was as lovely and as impres- sive as ever. 185 DECEMBER 19 Phillip Tinch and Gene Adams have been selected Valedictorian and Salutatorian, respectively, of the midyear class. JANUARY 5 Back to the old grind after a wonderful vacation. Seniors have the prospect of writing Lincoln essays staring them in the face. JANUARY 6 Bob Kiser and Mary England have had sixty dates in three months. That's really a record! JANUARY 7 Cold weather has hit us at last, and everyone has been going ice-skating for the first time 1'n two years. JANUARY 8 Bob Deffenbaugh is in real dilemma trying to choose between Mimi Geiger and Elaine Reedy. JANUARY 9 The game with Mattoon tonight was very different from the Centralia game. Decatur was so far in the lead that it Wasn't very exciting. Centralia, you know, is the only team so far who has been lucky enough to defeat us. JANUARY 12 Our favorite triple date combination is Evelyn Zipprodt and Bob Straude, Helen Zipprodt and Jack Murphey, and Elaine Reedy and Otho Mendenball. JANUARY 13 Here's a choice bit picked around town: I tried to kiss her by the mill One starry summer night She shook her head and sweetly said, 'No, not by a dam site. ' JANUARY 14 D.H.S. is buzzing with defense spirit. Everyone is bringing books for the soldiers and buying defense bonds and stamps. JANUARY 15 A cute new couple is Virginia Holloway and Bob Harmon. Another popular pair is Don Yatsko and Iecanaid Shirley Luster. JANUARY 16 During the first half of the Sprinfield game played on enemy ground, it looked as if Decatur would be defeatedg but when the boys came back at the half, one basket followed another, and the game ended successfully for the Reds. Loyal fans almost lost their voices, the game was that exciting! JANUARY 19 Even the male portion of D. H. S. has taken up knitting. Was Dick Metger's face ever red when Mr. Kunze caught him knitting in Physics lab! Eugene Chilton's pride andjoy Cother than Pauline, ofcoursej is a gorgeous GD scarf made from any remnants he finds lying around. JANUARY 20 Voting took place today for student council presi- dent. The candidates were Jean Scheiter, Bill Olen- dorf, Jack Graves, and Jim Wetzel. In the final vote Jim Wetzel had the majority. More power to him.
