Has it been years or only days ago Since first we came To fan the smouldering embers into bright flame? How eagerly we gathered all our hopes To build the fire And laid on it ambitions, energy And heart's desire. it served us well, the flame burned bright and clear Throughout our day, We owe to it a debt that we Can never pay. Now we must go to tend those other fires, Work, and waiting, and war, On hearths less friendly, that we have Not known before. This tended fire that we must leave, Once bright and free, Now lies cherished in the embers Of our memory. But even as we leave it, other feet Will come this way, Other eager hands will bring fresh fuel And on it lay Bright new plans and hopes until the blaze Springs high With the traditions of our school That can never die.

WVhen Susan high-pressures herself into the position of assistant editor, things really begin to pop. Before the curtain falls on the second act, Susan, with the best possible intentions, has almost bankrupt the Penquin, shaken the friend- ship ofthe musketeers, and given them the measles. YVhen her innocent enthusiasm involves all three in an illegal pinball game, which almost lands them in jail, Johnny's mother steps in. She saves the day not only for the young people, but also for the high school principal and the pretty journalism teacher, whose lives have been disrupted by the meddling, but ever adorable Susan. fl.

Merton is a small town boy who decides he wants a career on the stage instead of a job in Mr. Gashwiler's general store. He saves up his money and, in the course of time, he has enough to get to Hollywood. He has many difiiculties but finally gets a job playing what he thinks are serious parts, but really he is being played a sucker by Jeff Baird and the Montague Girl. They lead him to believe he is a great hero ofthe screen such as his idol, a certain Parmelee. He finally finds out that he is not in the type of pictures that he thought he was and so thinks that his career is ruined. The Montague Girl meanwhile has fallen hook, line, and sinker for Merton, and she makes him see that he is muqh better at making comedies than he is at serious work. - Finally Merton discovers his place is in comedies, and he finds he can be contented with them, that is, if the Montague Girl is still around. ..4....l gb?

Highlighting the activities were the beautiful and impressive Christmas vespers, given for students and adults, and the annual Easter sunrise service. A trip was made to Springfield in March to provide the music for the teachers' conference which took place in the Orpheum theater. This provided good entertainment for the teachers and excellent experience for the singers. The choir has sung for various civic organizations and has kept its reputation for fine music. Gayle Garton was accompanist for the choir. Singing a variety of numbers, choir mem- bers have learned to sing as a group, sacri- iicing their individualism for the sake of the choir. Some students have sung in the choir for three semesters. Those who have spent only a short time in the organization will remember their experiences as interesting ones. The curtain is rung down for another year on the A Cappella Choir, and hasn't it all been fun! The members are, counter clockwise: Jayne Anderson, Marilyn Andrews, Joe Bailey, Dale Baldridge, Roy Bartrem, Phillip Batson, Betty Bissey, Eunice Bolz, Eleanor Ann Brown, Pauline Brown, Joan Clendennings, Bill Cullins, Sharlee Davis, Keith Dean, Raymond DeLaughter, June Drum, Ann Ecklund, Bob Eifert, Lois Ellegood, Gary Florian, Gloria Galley, Betty Gammon, Gayle Garton.

The Girls' Choir is another one of the many active groups of singers at D. H. S. It consists of 36 girls directed by Miss Keyl. Standards that these singers adhere to are not easy. In music, as in other activities, a certain amount of teamwork is necessary. VVillingness on the part of each girl to take only her share of the spotlight has accounted for the club's success, and it is one of the most sought for D. H. S. musical organiza- tion s. Girls' Choir is commonly known as a build-up group for the A Choir which is the highest musical group in D. H. S. Many of its members, after one or two semesters of rigid musical work, are eligible for the A Choir. Throughout the year, the Girls' Choir plans to give various public appearances.

On the next Thursday, the Discussion Club heard the same topic that they intro- duced to the Kiwanis Club discussed over the radio program, Town Meeting of the Air. The Discussion Club meets every Thurs- day at 1:30 in either the Y.M.C.A. or the high school to listen to Town Meeting of the Air and then to discuss the topic after- ward. Topics such as How Must YVe Deal with Japan After the WVar to YVin the Peace? and Should NVe Conscript Women for Military Service? were also discussed by the members. In the fall the club had a Weiner roast in Fairview Park. After eating, the group gathered around a glowing fire to sing songs. The only thing different about that was that one fellow knew all the words to the new song Pistol Packin' Mama. Officers of Town Meeting were elected in the fall and held ofiice the entire school year. They were Catherine Snow, president, Robert Coutant, vice-president, Doris Emg mons, secretary, and Darlene Bradley, treasurer. Mr. Hillis Staley is the adviser.

Let's watch out for such cuties and new men as Jodie Weilepp, Nancy Hayes, Sue Shields, Jeanine HofTman, Tommy Hostetler, Bob Neuendorf, and Frank Byers. Keep your eyes on them. SEPTEMBER io Tonight our super-man football team brought home the first victory, over East Aurora, 6 to o. Don Lindsey was so embarrassed at the Slateboard Shufiie when everyone sang Happy Birthday to him, but Katie only smiled and looked on. COUNCIL OFFICERS SEPTEMBER 24 Wedowned Mattoon 44 to 13. What a team! A new combination I elect for a twosome of this year is Todd Davis and Dick Roos. They seem to be everywhere together of late. SEPTEMBER 25 A Cappella hayride was really fun, according to Mary Margaret Nichols and Ed Ewing, and Betty Lou Stoune and Bill Tombaugh. Bet the chaperons, Miss Kyle, Miss South, and Miss Helen Holland, were sorry they didn't have dates. SEPTEMBER 28 Ro Oplinger was sooooooo surprised to find herself' in a dark closet instead of3o3. She didn't even want to come out. Can you blame her? l X ' f X, , .1 J! I .. FIRST FIRE DRILL SEPT?-IXIBER 16 Excitement!! A pep meeting in the big gym and Chuck fMr. Whitej Boyle told the team just how to beat Hillsboro tomorrow night. The whole team put on a very amoozing skit. Tommy Allen had eyes for only Ruthie Richardson and vice versa. SEPTEMBER 17 Vile did beat Hillsboro, too, 20 to o. The popular opinion is that Peg Montgomery and Liz Mahaney make pretty near perfect cheer leaders. SEPTEMBER 21 4 Eighth hour the second Student Council meeting of the year was held, Norman Sanders presiding. Dick Roos was elected vice president, Mary Leigh, secre- taryg and George Myer, treasurer. This looks like an ambitious group which should do great things. JUNIOR MEN rf ik' 183 OCTOBER OCTOBER 1 Some last minute rushing was done by a couple of our seniors, jean McCormick and Evelyn Zipperodt, to hnd dates for the Harvest I-Ioe Down. They turned up with Jimmy VVetzel and Bob O'Neil, and so we now believe in last minute planning. Who wouldn't! Our winning streak was halted last night when Streator defeated our team in a close game. OCTOBER 5 4 4 We all rushed out for a hre drill today. It was a pleasure, too, as it was a wonderful day. OCTOBER 6 I Senior meeting, the first, was held today to ratify the senior constitution. It was ratified unanimously! Good work, Jimmy Stollard and committee. Officers were also nominated. From the looks ofthe nominees, whoever wins will do a good job. OCTOBER 7 AND 8 Two days of bliss! Meaning, of course, Teachers' Institute. On the eighth the Taylorville Tornadoes took another victory from Decatur, 26 to 13. Speaking of football, Chuck Boyle is still infatuated with BOHHIC Schmeig. My-my! VVho could have sent two dozen beautiful roses to Jody Hinds? VVith them was only a card saying, A tribute to Jody. OCTOBER I2 An all school assembly was held under Miss Kyle's direction in the new gym today, third hour. From where did all that talent come? Thatls right. Our very own school. Attention could have been much better. ALL SCHOOL ASSEMBLY 184 THE DECANOIS HALLOWEEN OUEEN OCTOBER I4 One of those fall rainy days. Our Little Reds lost to Assumption I9 to 6. jack johnson and Pat Edwards were among those present. Seems as ifsome of our girls are taking their lunches this year and eating on such places as the Masonic Temple steps. Some people have the funniest ideas of fun. OCTOBER 15 The Decatur gridmen were back on their running feet tonight. They won their second Big I2 conference game over Urbana in a very close fight and tallied I4 to 13. Janet VVestland and Jimmy Linder, Mary Mc- Laughlin and Bob Murray Cthis last couple, incidently, looks like a permanent pairj were among those present at the Cow Cow Boogie dance. OCTOBER I7 The midyear class play, Ever Since Eve, is under way. Jackie Bowman has a lead and is surrounded by football players all the time I hear. Am I talking about a play? In life she doesn't do so badly, what with Tommy Hoggins, David Long, Bob Young, and Marvin Seats, who's in the navy. This could go on forever! OCTOBER 18 Jim Eckman and Lois Brown are at last back to- gether again. Thank goodness. We can all breathe a sigh of relief now. VVe wish Mack Kile could make up his mind with whom he's going steady. Toody is every- one's favorite. OCTOBER I9 Senior oficers were elected, and they look like the best ones ever. Johnny Cochran is president CCarolyn is so happylg Nancy Cannon is vice-president, Char- lotte Dickson, secretary, Don Lindsey, treasurer, and Bill Dickinson and Chuck Boyle, sergeants-at-arms. OCTOBER 21 Editor of this year's student directory will be James Curry. Margaret Record will be the business manager. We congratulate both of them for helping put out this directory which is a great aid. 1 944 OCTOBER OCTOBER 22 Shirlev Merritt and .lack Dawson and Sue Richard- son and Dick limerick were couples attending the dance after the game tonight.

She was ably attended by Doris Kashefska, Beverly Bliler, and Marilyn Riter of St. Teresa. OCTOBER 30 ' Seaman Dwane Moss was home and looks just fine, just fine, indeed. Doris Gibbs is all smiles and so is Dwane, for that matter. Wonder just who does keep his heart tho ------- ever heard of Webster Groves? SENIOR OFFICERS SXO ,A ao -5 SKIRTS AND FLIRTS TNOYIQMBER 6 The Junior Red Cross collected 586 in their drive, and they're now asking for scraps of wool and yarn with which to make lap robes for convalescent soldiers.

Orchids to .loan Odor and Bob King for such fine performances. The entire cast turned in some excep- tional acting.

It served as a badly needed holiday for all of us to recuperate from the Skirts and Flirtsn dance held last VVednesday night in the Masonic Temple. Chalk up another suc- cessful dance for Our Student Council. A new twosome attending was Pudie Wilber and Bob McCann. NOVEMBER 12 Today sophomores elected Helen Humphrey, presi- dentg Carol Miller, vice president, Alice Ferry, secre- tary, Eugene Borders, treasurer, William Tomlinson and Pete Nash, sergeants-at-arms, and Tom Hostetler, parliamentarian.

Bows were in order for the entire cast, in case yOu're interested. NOVEMBER 22 Remember a long time ago, we talked about a student lounge? VVell, ten members of the Student Council met at the Y.W'.C,A. to talk to some organizations anxious to help us get it started! This student lounge looks as if it is going to be a great thing. NOX'EMBER 23 Yes, the traditional old clothes day at D.H.S., and all 'the girls sported pigtails and blue jeans, and all the boys- well, they just sported.

Of course she can tell you only about the correspondence part now. DECEMBER I5 The other morning in chemistry Mr. Westland had to turn out all the lights for an X-ray experiment. CVVe all know these-dark, early morningsj. The experiment was interrupted when one of the janitors came rushing in with a light bulb-seeing that there were no lights inside. Even though he was very embarrassed, he showed thar our janitors are Johnny on the spot. DECEMBER 15, 16, AND I7 Annual vespers were given on these days, and they were something we won't soon forget. In a word, they were perfection. Bob King, who read the Scripture, never fails to please the audience.

Virgil Byers Guard This was Virgil's first year out for football, and although he saw little action, he received valuable experience for next year.

Even though he was slowed up by an injured leg near the end of the season, Bill led the team to six victories.

Al- though he saw little action this season, he shows promise of playing a very good game in his next two years. Charles Fonville Taclcle Charles is one of the graduating players whose loss will be felt. Being one of the largest boys on the team made him a valuable lineman.

He earned his letter, and from all appearances will be the pride of the squad in '45. Vernon Greene Baclc Vernon is another one of the small boys on the team.

And those who adhere to this philosophy will achieve the success they rightly deserve. The same thing can be said of MUELLER CO.

We believe in honest workmanship, and so build only QUALITY products of the best materials. We employ the most skilled worlcmen, and because we have believed in fair treatment to all, many of them have been with us for years. We believe in giving our customers a square deal-in going to the very limit to be of service to them. Because of these high principles the MUEL- LER CO. today stands as the leader in the manufacture of water, gas and plumbing goods-a fact proved by the many thousands of satisfied customers all over America.
