M5 'S VORTM ?cK'zamq Nine l.ive Ghostsf' or, Qh, What Fun We Had! was the title of the mid-year class play given on Jan- uary QQ. ln the first scene, which took place in a cemetery in QO13 A D., Robert Rund was presented as president of the ghosts, with Dean Arnold as a lazy ghost, Clay Peck, the spirit, Dick Tarrant, the goblin, Dominic Romano as the spook, John Longbons as the zombie, Ralph Schwab, the mummy, and Raul Retard, the vam- pire. The plot presented the ghosts assembled to plan for the initiation of a new member. but instead remem- ber whenn became the order of the night and at last they selected events that they would like to live over again. ln the second scene, a recollection of a scene in the Decatur High School auditorium on commencement night was depicted. The characters were Peggy Adams as Miss Goldinger, Karl Kohlbecker as president of the school board, and Charlotte Bourland, Mary Grove, Norma Wallace, Betty Rose Greenberg, Qpal Russel, Eva Mae Filchak, Ben Hardy, Ralph Schwab, Melvin Grabowski, Richard Chaille, and Harry Berland as students. The plot included the awarding of diplomas and the president of the school board speaking to the graduates as they exchanged diplomas. After the curtain was drawn, reopened, and diplomas were exchanged, a woman-stealeru was punished, and Ben Hardy dem- onstrated that his new invention, a sleep-at-ease ma- chine really worked. lhe third scene took place in the Royal Hawaiian Hotel in 1943 A.D. with Elmer Connors as host, Frances Shewmaker as hostess, Helen Crouch as singer, Clay peck the joker, Dominic Romano, Robert Gtt, and Dick Tarrant as hula dancers, Opal Russell as a waitress, and an orchestra composed of Jim Cussins, Bill Madden, and Milton Dippold. Beth Bloomquest, Ruthellen Rozanski, Jean Howard, Eunice Bingamon, Mildred Karloski, Ruth Rohman, Robert' Durbin, Paul Retard, Dean Arnold, Ralph Schwab, Richard Chaille, and Vale Newman were guests in the hotel. we This plot was that the mid-years who stayel in the land of swaying-girls alter the war invited their classmates from the States to a reunion An orchestra, a singer, hula dancer, and an unaporeciated ioker en- tertained the guests. The next scene took place in a campaign office in the year 1963 AD. lhe characters included John long- bons as campaign manager, Don Freeman as his assistant, Robert Rund, the timid man, Elsie Duncan, the girl with a microphone, Dean-Arnold, the presidental candidate, Louise Sadowski, a nurse, and Katherine Craig and Betty Rose Greenberg as the bearers of good news. The scene began with a mid-year running for presi- dent of the US. He was so busy Hkissing babies that he was almost late for his last pre-election broadcast, However the Macon County Morons voted and saved the day. Scene five took place in professor Hardy's home in the year 1983. Ben Hardy acted as professor, Harry Berland was the sleeper, Aileen Bauman, Bernice Vance, Eva l:ilchak, Melvin Grabowski, and John Hale were the aged guests. The scene was centered around the sleep-at-ease machine which was to release its sixty year hold on the sleeper. Upon waking up, Harry Berland learned that much had happened in the world and to his classmates since Hitler shot himself and Hirohito committed hari-kari. The final scene is again in the cemetery just before dawn, in QO13 A.D. The characters were the same as in the first scene with the exception of the new mem- ber, one Don Freeman, the phantom. The new member was initiated and the ghosts closed therir meeting with singing. l i 1 i Decainoid ?edfzamg Wamw BEN HARDY, Valedictorian .AN THOMAS HEAD, Sdlutetorlan 4 fu HARRY BERLAND, Oration 4. 1945 b-6' BARBARA CROSS, HELEN CROUCH Violin Solo Vocal Solo 'Q' 1 ELQISE HURTT, ROBERT RUND, Piano Soio - Qration VALEDICTORY ' . Youth just doesn't have a chancel There s no oppor- tunity for the young people, the high school graduates of today. Today their chances of leading a normal, suc- cessful life are wrecked by the war, tomorrow there'll be no place for them. They haven't got a chanceln l'm sure that all of you have heard statements like these. You have read them in your newspapers, and heard them over the radio, and in private conversations. ln almost every little group where youth and their problems are being discussed. No doubt you yourselves have at times had feelings like these. No doubt all of you young people have experienced times of terrible frustration, when you stood helpless and watched your favorite dreams and ambitions crumble before the necessity of war. Perhaps some of you have caught yourselves saying, Well, whatls the use of trying? And not without reason, for we cannot deny that many thousands of young people, girls as well as boys, are being deprived of the opportunity of getting as full or complete an education as they had planned. We cannot close our eyes to the fact that jobs will undoubetdly be much more difficult to secure after war production has ceased and the soldiers have come home, that competition will be fierce and keen. ln some respects, our generation is at a decided disadvantage. But dont despair. for l believe that we have one major asset that can far outweigh the total of our liabilities, and make us the most fortunate generation of youth the world has yet seen, if we make good, care- ful, intelligent use of it. That asset is the opportunity of building a new worldl Lets stop a moment to realize what an opportunity that is-what a great opportunity to do a great service to ourselves and to mankind. Think of what it means to have the chance to erect upon the fallen masonry, out of the rubble, dust, and ashes of a broken, burned, and plundered civilization, a bright, new, free, shining world. for after this war, a great part of the world will have to be rebuilt, socially and politically, as well as physically. And it will be up to us, the youth of today, to do the job. Yes, to us will fall the chance not only to build but also to design the world in which we, and our children, and their children, will live. And we will be unhamper- ed by cpnevntionalism, or custom. We must begin from scratch in our designing of the new social and political world, as well as in designing post-war cars, airplanes, and houses, because all the dies in which the pre-war civilization was molded are broken, and burned. As Ralph Waldo Emerson once said of war, The cost of life, the dreary havoc of comfort and time, are overpaid by the vistas it opens of eternall life eternal law, recon- structing and uplifting society-UO breaks up the old horizon and we see through the rifts a wider vista. Our only limitations in the designing of our new world will be the limits of our imingnations, the measure of the greatness of our heartls and soul the amount of willingness, or eagerness, with which we assail the task, and the chains of ignorance, hate, fear, and preju- dice with which we may have shack.ed ourselves. And there is a thousand times as much knowledge lying hidden. waiting to be discoveredc-by you, and mel Yes, ours is the opportunity to build a complete new world, to our own specifications, and the tools, the wherewithall to do it, are ours if we will just put out the effort to reach for them. Now, are we not truly a favored generation? J. 4.-a.- -z - D v Of course, we must realize that along with this opportunity comes responsibility. Each of us, individ- ually, has a responsibility to all his neighbors not to infringe upon or curtail their rights, to create a world in which we all can live in peace, harmony, and equal dignity. We have a responsibility to all our brothers in the great family of Mankind, to see that no one of them is downtrodden, underprivileged, or degraded in our new world. And we as a generation, collectively, have a responsibility to our children, and our brothers' children, to build a world in which they will be happy to live, in which they can live and work in harmony with one another. Qne of the best ways in which we can begin right now to prepare for the job of building the world of tomorrow is, figuratively speaking, to sharpen our teeth on the problems of today. ln other words, we must not assume the attitude that just because the world will be rebuilt tomorrow, we can let it go to ruin today. For by trying to solve the problems of the world here and now, the world around us, we gain invaluable training for the greater job ol solving tomorrow's problems. for instance, how can we expect to create a world in which peace and good-will will prevail among men and nations if we ourselves cannot get along with the people in our own community, right here and now? Before we can ever hope to solve the worlds prob- Iems we must learn how to conquer similar problems in our own lives. We must learn the art of settling dif- ferences through discussion and compromise, above all, we must learn to know and understand other people, and to recognize that their wants and needs are as im- portant as our own. for most ill-will and friction, be- tween nations and individuals alike. arises from mis- understanding'-fafrom mistakes of the mind, not of the heart. The best place to acquire these habits and attitudes, this knowledge of how to live with one another, as well as to acquire the scientific knowledge which we will need in order to rebuild the material world, is in school. for in school, more than anywhere else, you must work with other people, and it is while working with other people that you learn the secret of living and building togethercccooperation. for this reason l earnestly urge all of you who are just graduating from high school to continue your formal education as long as possible. l believe it is your duty to yourself and to the rest of the world to obtain as much education as you possibly can. And now, before we part for the last time, l want to leave with you, by way of a summary, two messages of advice, which l hope you will ponder and take to heart. ln the first place, always remember your opportunity. Never forget that your generation has a chance to do a great service to humanity, by creating a new world in which men may live on a higher, broader, and happier plane. Secondly, remember that you have a responsibility to fulfill, toward each other, and toward posterity. Ask yourself, What can l do? - Where will be my place in making this new world? - l low can l serve best? lhen, when you have cediced what you can do, and what you are willing to do, devote all your time and energy to preparing for that task. Prepare to do it well, for in your hands rests the decision as to whether we will go down in history as the Builders of the New World, or as the generation that muffed its chance, and bungled the peace.

Through a gentleman's compromise, Mr. Barry agrees to let Eddie go to the school if Eddie can earn the two hundred fifty dollars necessary for the tuition before summer. It is now May. The Women's Civic Association announces an award of two hundred and fifty dollars for the best essay on the subject of Truth Today. Eddie writes an essay and enters it under an assumed name because one of the judges is Mrs. Granville. l-ler son, Tommy, and Eddie have fought over a certain Ann Sherman and Mrs. Granville does not lilce Eddie. George Jones, Eddie's uncle, finds an essay that Eddie has been studying. Uncle George enters this essay in the contest for Eddie and without his lcnowf ledge. George then departs on a three weelcs fishing trip. This essay receives the award. Eddie is much upset because he lcnows the essay is not his and cannot under- stand how his name can be attached to it. Soon after the award has been announced, Pro- fessor Merritt of Eddie's high school arrives at the Barry home to shoclc the entire family with the news that Ed has sent in an essay not his own. Just as a committee from the Civic Association are insisting upon Eddie broadcasting a public apology over the radio, Uncle George returns from his fishing trip. Everything is explained satisfactorly and it is ,then discovered that the next best essay is the one Eddie turned in under an assumed name. Thus Eddie wins the contest and can go to New Yorlc to become famous. 746 fame 644444 af f?45 ,edema If , n Decanocb LETITIA CARBERRY CTISHJ u11XE AGGIE 1943 ELLEN ,,...,..:..- U...-ga .- - ! ,.1 .I TlSH LEIGHTEN From Mary Roberts Rineharfs Stories By Alice Chadwiclce THE CHARACTERS LEIGI-ITEN ,.,.., ....

A 7943 WESLEY ANDREWS DENBY GRIMES TlSH irish , written by Mary Roberts Rinehart, depicted the Iitp ol Letitia Carberry, lish, a middle-aged spinster, blunt oulspolwn and entirely lovable She inlorms her two companions. Lizzie and Aggie, that she is de- termined to get closer to nature, to lead the simpler lile H So she buys a second-hand car and they start out with lish doing the driving, but not belore Lizzie has wirefl lishsvoung nephew, Charlie Sands telling him ol his auntis latest protect and advising him as to their destination Charlie llies down to the Southwest in his plane and stops oll at Ulhe Eagle l-lotelf' some- where near the Mexican border. Lizzie and Aggie come limping into the hotel shortly alter Charlies arrival. lish arrives in due time, alter having driven through the plate glass window ol Luther l-loplcins' store across the road. l-le makes a stormy entrance and demands damages. 'lish reluses to pay him anything and incurs his enmity and the battle is on. Events move last. When the hotel sale is looted lish is certain that she lmows where the stolen money is hidden and drags Aggie out with her to start a search. The result ol the search is that lish talces Aggie up in Charlie's plane, loses control ol the plane, drops Aggie oll on the raat ol the barn and then soars upward againl The lollowing day newspaper headlines proclaim that a lone lemale spy has been sighted llving over Mexico and lish be- comes the center ol international complications. lhere is great suspense and excitement until the linal curtain.

The Junior Red Cross Council was organized in Decatur High in 1941 when the war created needs that required an all out etiort by the students oi the nation as well as adults. Much oi the vvorlc oi the Council has been concerned with handling drives for the war eiiort. During its infancy it managed to carry on several very successful 3' ones, Service men trom Chanute liield to lceland en- joyed records, boolcs, and cribbage boards sent by Decatur l-ligh School. It also organized a First aid class under Miss Zita Spradlingls instruction from which several qualified 'iAld2FSH were graduated. This year it has been concerned, among other things, with salvage worlt. Scrap metal oi all varieties rolled into the collection boxes and was sold to the junlc dealers. The T943 Victory Boolc Drive netted a lot oi good reading matter for our lighting men. Junior Red Cross can be a vital instrument lor helping to win the war and, alter the war is over, to aid in im- portant community and national service. Qnly through this response can the Junior l2ed Cross Council carry out its aims oi helping our high school youth to accomplish the great work they are called upon to do in war and in peace.

Lilce so many other organizations in the Llnited States, A Capella Choir vvas obliged to change leadership this year. Mr. lvan Kortlcamp filled Miss Alice Dollls place so vvell, hovvever, that they scarcely felt the change. It vvent right ahead and kept its place as one of the best musical organizations in Decatur. A Capella got dovvn to business in September by electing officers. Bill Bliler became the President, Anne lomaras and Joe Allen, the co-Vice Presidents, and Merton lves, the Secretary Treasurer. After handl- ing this matter, the choir began practicing for the State Teachers Music Convention in Champaign at which it had been invited to sing. This event, which took place in November, was a great honor and a great success to the choir. Cf course it must not be overloolced that all the members vvho attended had an elegant time vvandering around the University campus and gloating over the fact that they vvere missing a day of school. The annual Christmas Vespers came next on A Capellas calendar. This meant a lot of time and vvorlc. The stage had to be decorated, the songs learned and vvorl4ed out, and a general feeling created. The finished performance vvas given to the students on the Toth, 'l7th, and 18th of December and for the parents and those vvho vvere interested on Sunday, the QOth. Choir then departed for a nice long rest during the holidays. I -vs 2' A .A -4' 'A 'D ' 4 ss fa 'S' i Y L 4 1. A LA' 0 L A 3 i 1 1 1 ' .- 1. Q x, L .1 'bl 45. LgA K A 5 y L 4, . L A N vw A 1 A u.

The picture on the left inside is Gene Wetherell, on the right inside is Sterling Boyer. All have successfully met the rigid requirements for getting in, and keeping in the club. While a knowledge of music and a naturally good voice help a boy to pass entrance examinations, the chief requirement is the good physique and alert mind upon which all good singing depends. Ability to use good judgment and taste is required to a degree usually found in older men. These boys have demonstrated their ability and teamwork in carrying out many stiff assignments in the way of public performances. Willingness on the part of each boy to pull his own weight and take only his share of the spotlight has accounted in a large measure for the club's success and has made it one of the most sought after D. H. S. musical organizations. Meeting everyday fifth hour, the boys have rehearsed faithfully ever since the club's origin three years ago. Two and one-half credits are given each semester. The first year of its existence the chorus worked under ad- verse conditions, with no rehearsal room except the old auditorium. from that humble beginning, gradually a vision of superior work formed in the minds of the boys. Music of a more and more difficult grade was tackled until now they sing only the best. x, K .

Under the direction and instruction ol Mr. lvan Kortlcamp, this group is one ol the many outstanding musical organizations here due to the fact that this is such a large chorus. It is divided into two separate sections that meet at ditlerent times lor practice. The standards that these singers adhere to are not easy and their hard worl4 produces the fruits of their labor. ln music, as in other social activities, a certain amount ol give and talce teamworlc is necessary. They have a line room lor practice in the newest wing ol the high school building, with permanent raised tiers lor better sight oi the director and with a special ceiling to reduce echo. The students in the groups are always the last ones to be confident ol success by taking honors as a matter ol tact, and it is through this philosophy that they are able to achieve this success. perhaps the smallest but one ol the mightiest classes in D. l-l. S. is the l-larmony Class. It is such an advanced course that few music students even in Decatur have the necessary prerequisites For electing this subject. The Five students who completed the first semester, Joe Allen, Jane Barr, lna Ruth Beecher, Eleanor Anne Brown, and Jola Kuntz, are all top-notchers in the various music organizations oi the school. Jola, who is accompanist for A Capella Choir, worlcs at the piano, Jane takes the soprano, Eleanor Anne, the alto, Joe the tenor, and Mr. Kortkamptries to sing the bass. Needless to say, there are some weird combinations of tones resulting. Joe specializes in trying AJ' to write music so difficult the class can't sing it, and the Z rest also do some surprising things at times. But it s good clean lun and all seem to enjoy the period. Before one semester had gone by the class had com- posed an 8-part choral arrangement of the old h,mn ,I A I H ' I . Y 1 Abide With Me, which is now in the hands of the , 4 publishers. Second semester was spent in delving 5 further into the mysteries of harmony and scoring for M orchestra.

After the holidays a new idea was presented to A Capella. They were to have lessons in singing from rather famous music teachers lrom in and around Decatur. The First was Mr. New from Bloomington. l-le spolce to the choir about such necessary things as breath con- trol and tone quality. Then he tested some of the voices in the choir and ottered his suggestion to them. Mr. Van Buslcirlt from Millilcin came to the choir next and brought with him two ot his own students who gave demonstrations. Near the close of the First semester Bruce Foote came from Springfield to give choir a lesson. l-lis tallc was not only enjoyed but his own sing- ing also. Then came the end of the semester, which brought another change to the choir. The members were divided into two groups. One group met every third hour and the other group every Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday the titth hour and on Monday and Wednesday the girls and boys met separately. This change was made because choir had grown to the place where perfection ot singing on the part of each member was hard to work out with such a great number ot students simultaneously.

Today, as you file out of your school, diploma in hand, you face a different lcind of world, a world torn apart by greed, hatred, and barbarism. Your duty is to find some useful worlc and prepare yourself to talce your place as a citizen in our great land, ready to do your share in malcing this a better world. And the only tools you have are a pair of hands guided by a trained mind. Let those hands of yours be hands that build and not hands that destroy. Remember, too, no matter what the station in life to which you finally come, all honest worlc is honorable. The simple virtue of doing your best at each taslc assigned you is still sound philosophy and will bring you ultimate success. For 86 years, we of MUELLER have believed in this homely principle. Baclc of every product bearing the name MUELLER is the sincere determination of every employee to put the best of his slcill into the worlc he is doing. Therefore, it is a natural result that MUELLER should produce only QUALITY GOODS. And so it is that a pair of hands become a symobl of products that are fine and enduring-the emblem of expert craftsmanship and long experience in our chosen field.
