The long-awaited finish is reached with a little remorse as we begin to realize that it won't be long now until the responsibility of adult citizens will be on our shoulders. l believe we are receiving this responsibility in the same manner in which we have received other responsibilities during our life- time. We have always been eager to assume the duties of our parents and the adults with whom we have come in contact, but when even the lesser of these duties has been placed in our hands we begin to wonder if we are prepared to do them correctly and desire a little more time to be sure. lt hrs often been said that a little knowledge is dangerous and that knowledge without wisdom is by far worse than complete ignorance. We must be completely prepared to do the thing which we set forth to do and not just partially prepared. Gut education thus far should have taught us more than the every day assignments which we have learned. Since our beginning in school we have been handled patiently, and the thousands of errors we have made have been corrected in a manner to show us our own imperfection and yet to remind us not to be dis- couraged no matter how many mistakes or mishaps befall us, We are entering a period in which, l believe, it will be very essential for us to keep our wits about us. Cut world is changing from a world of school books to a world of business- and professions. Gut prosperity during the next twenty years of our lives will depend upon our own resourcefulness and initiative. We must be realists and not defeatists. No matter what ob- stacles befall us, there has never been a time in which determination could not overcome the thousands of major and minor difficulties that we may face. Every morning, when l open my eyes, the first thing l see is a small motto on my bedroom wall which says 'LNO MAN EVER BECOMES A FAILURE WITHQUT l-llS QWN CQNSENTH l feel that the thought in this motto has a message for everyone in our class. We cannot blame our own personal failure on bad times, poor luck, or any of the other minor excuses that can be used as much as we can put the blame upon ourselves and our own weak- nesses. Whether the future holds good or bad times for us depends on US. Because the education which has been granted us by our form ofgovernment is now completed, we should not feel that we are to stop learning. As long as we live, learning will he the interesting part of living. Not only informing our- selves of the current events and politics with which we will normally become interested, but constantly striving to make ourselves better and to be more pro- ficient in the work that we are to do. We will constantly have before us two paths from which we mustichoose. One will be the weaker, which offers us a life of performing a task that takes little mental strain and which can be performed without much effort. This path will constantly be a tempta- tion. But on the other side will be the thing which most of us will endeavor to strive for. Nothing worth having is gained without a great deal of effort. We have learned this lesson in High School. ln our elected curriculum we could choose a subject that would be easy and on which we could get a very good passing grade with little effort. But if we really wanted to learn something that wouldbe essential for our future use and which would take a great deal of effort, we were a little hesitant about choosing that subject. Those persons in our class who will be a success will be the ones who will attempt any problem and at least say they tried to work it rather than say it looked too hard. The problems that face the world internationally today are tremendous. Gut first impulse is to turn our head and comment that they are far away -too far to affect our lives to any great extent or to alter our way of living, yet we have just seen the effect which world disagreement has brought to bear on our every- day living in World War ll. lt seems evident that the only possible plan for world peace which will be a success and which will attempt to bring about a peace- ful solution to the disrupted condition of world poli- tics as it stands today will be through international cooperation. The underlying force in international co- operation is not only understanding the problems which confront our world neighbors, but understand- ing the relationship between nationalities. The educa- tion we have just finished has helped us to live peace- ably in our own community and should be an example for the conduct of the nati-on at large. Education has a basic role in international cooperation and this was realized by the United Nations when it formed ther United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Qrganizationf' This agency was formed for the ex- plicit purpose of stabilizing education throughout the world and to try to overcome the difficulties which have arisen in the differences in language, customs and tradition. We universally believe that all men on earth should enjoy equal opportunity to develop phys- ically, socially and intellectually. The education which we have today is the dream of men bound by the tradition of the Caste system in India and the laboring mane of China To improve foreign standards of living is to insure the stability of our own. This is the reason why all of us should be interested in foreign affairs because they do have a bearing on our way of life. And because of the modern improvements in trans- portation and communication, foreign problems ar'e placed on our doorstep. Perhaps none of us will ever be called upon to make decisions of international im- portance, and our own personal opinion will have little effect on the decisions which will be made, but if our generation, as a whole, can bear in mind the importance of our foreign policy and share a common interest with the statesmen of the future in striving to bring about the world peace which seems to be so unanimously desired, then surely we will have accom- plished much. Some of us will have the good fortune to further our education in a college or in a business school, but it is my earnest desire to impress upon you that no matter what we do we should endeavor at all times to do our best, There is no finer feeling than to know you have done the job right. l sincerely hope that all of us will enjoy the success and pros erity which we desire, and that we will look to the ffiture with the assurance that opportunity awaits us.

French Awards. Comparable to the valedictory, the French honors are chosen by a faculty committee composed of the principal, the deans, and the department heads. Miss French, for forty years a member of the Decatur High School faculty, presented i'61,ooo to the school to make possible these awards. She stipulated that those honored must have achieved more than high scholastic standing. They must have served the school in some outstanding manner, they must have been good and loyal citizens ofthe school, and they must have been active in school organizations. To those Decatur citizens who knew and admired Miss French, these winners of the French awards hold very special interest. Miss French lived to see many boys and girls receive her gift. Elaine, whose father also received this honor when he graduated from Decatur High School, won first place. She was student director of the senior play During all three years of her high school career she worked on the Dbserver and acted as the Directory editor in her senior year.

From lack of funds, the girls are forced to rent it for a month, although it isn't just what they want. Later, they find it offers them little privacy, be- ing a basement apartment with a large window level with the sidewalk with no curtains, and a back door with a broken lock. To make matters worse, the girls discover a subway is being dynamited beneath the studio. Their landlord, Mr. Pippopolous, agrees to furnish curtains and hx the lock, but somehow he forgets his promise. The girls waste no time in attempting to find jobs. Eileen looking for an acting position, manages to rrieet many interesting men including: Frank Lippencott, a drugstore operator, Chic Clark, a reporter, and Robert Baker, editor of the Manhatter. Chic Clark sends Ruth, interested in a newspaper iob, on his assignment in order that he will be able to' visit Eileen alone. Ruth's assignment turns out to be the story of a brazilian training ship. She not only gets the story, but the Brazilian Trainees aboard, a so. They follow her home and amusing complications arise in -trying to get them to leave, as they are unable to understandEnglish,and the girls are unable to under- stand Portuguese. The girls father comes for them and attempts to take them home. They refuse, however, when Ruth is offered a job on the Manhatta by Mr. Baker. Eileen wishes to stay because of heart interests and thus Father finally agrees to let them. They even sign a lease for the studio, after Mr. Appopolous promises to redecorate it to their liking. an T' 1947 ' I f5.,12,,z1 31,1:Q'Iil?l7F1ff.'.-QEi'4!13 'Zu 1 1 DECANOIS.

'-Q' Members of the Decatur High School A Cappella Choir may well be proud of an organization which they have worked so diligently to produce. Under the leadership of Mr. Morris Noland, the high goals and standards of an outstanding choir have been attained Those in the choir realize the task that is theirs to establish a feeling of unity and tone blending within the choir, and to make unselfish, generous contribuf tions to the musical life of Decatur. The most outstanding performance of the year was the annual Christmas Vespers. For the first time they were held in the Kintner Gymnasium in order to capacitate a larger audience. The vespers this year attained a peak of beauty never before reached and they were indeed an inspiration to the listeners. Another performance that has just become a tra- dition is the Christmas program for the Kiwanis Club. Some of the vesper music and additional solos were used for a program that was greatly appreciated by the audience. Social life has not altogether been forgotten. In the fall of the year a picnic was held in Fairview Park. Weiners and marshmellows were roasted over a blazing fire while all kinds of other good food awaited us. This provided a wonderful time for all. 1941 :fl Cappella Glam , if-f-qu-.qw Q 'A - Q' 'ar '5 . ,, . 'f K+ '-1 1 og, . 4 Z ,, . A f , . 'ssl 'NX Y '-.

This year he is back to take up where he left off. A good re- bounder, his services were needed on many oc' casions and he played well at those times. He will not return next year. BANGERT, DALE: Dale, a senior completed his third year of high school basketball for D1-l.S. this season. Tall and slender, he proved to be a very helpful man around the basket. Dalels services will be missed next year. He was on the starting five several times during the season and he saw considerable action and played Well. lQ.1, 1947 s K f DUNCAN, TCM: Playing his first year on the A squad after a year on the Little Reds, Tom proved to be a valuable reserve. Although he wasnyt very tall, he made up for it in ball- handling and rebounding. Torn, a senior, com- pleted his high school basketball days with the close of this season. BRADY, ROGER: Standing an even six feet, Roger was one of the rnain cogs in the Reds attack this year. Because he was a good ball handler and an even better shot, Rog earned a place on the starting live many times. Rog will not return next year as he is a senior. 1 DECANOIS GABRIEL, SAM: Sam, a sophomore, certainly proved his right to he on the HA squad in his first year. ln many instances when height was needed, Sammy was called on and he always made a good account of himself. Next year and the year after, Sammy will be with D.l-l.S. GALKA, DON: Dong a regular this year and last, was the mainstay of the team on many occasions. His long one handed shots were specf tacular and his speed and drive were outstand- ing. Although not exceptionally tall, he often outrehounded his taller teammates, thus mak- ing him douhly dangerous to the opposition. Don. is a senior and most certainly will he missed next year. Y ' gi' 5 X1 196 1947 l l LEWIS, DICK: An excellent clribbler, good re- bounder and a good shot, Dick was a very valua blereserve this season. A senior, he hn- nished his high school basketball career this year after playing on the B squad his juniqr year. Dn many occasions when the opposition was pressing Dick was called on to render his services. LAWSON, DON: Don was the tallest boy on the team, standing 6 ft. 5 in., which is tall on any team. Because of his height, few members of the opposition surpassed his rebounding power. A good shot around the basket, Don was alf most always in the scoring column. He was a regular most of the season and as he is a senior, his services will not be available next year. 1 DECAN U15 LQGUE, CHARLES: As he was one of the smallest members of the squad, Charlie didn't see too much action this year. This was his second season on the A squad and it was a successful onefscoring unexpectedly when points were needed. With the experience gained this season and last, Charlie should be a big help to next year's team. MURRAY, ART: Art, also playing his first comf plete season on the Big Reds after being moved up in his sophomore year, was one of the best all around players on A squad. Not only was he a good shot but an excellent ball- handler and rebounder thus making him a key man for the varsity. A junior, Art will return next year. 1947 RICHARDSON, CURT: Although he was the smallest boy on the team, Curt made up for it with his speed, ballhandling, and rebounding, and shooting. Playing his third year for D.l'l.S., Curt was one of the chief reserves and he played very well when called on. A senior, Curt's services will be missed next year. RICH, CINEY: Playing his second year of basket- ball for D.H.S., Ciney was a yery able ref bounder and a good shot. Whenever the game got a little rough, Cincy was right in his prime. A junior, with two years experience behind him, Ciney will be welcomed back next season to aid the team. 1 ZOO DECANOIS YlA -iii' RICHARDSQN, DAVE: Very few hoys make the A squad in their sophomore year but Dave did it and rightfully so. Tall and rangy, Dave had a good eye and this together with his rebounding power made him very dangerous. With two years ahead of him, Dave should make a good name for himself. ! .fix ,V ini! WILLIAMS, DUAlNE:,ln this, his hrst complete year on the A squad, Duaine was in the start- ing lineup almost all the time. An excellent ballhandler, Duaine was responsible for many plays which resulted in the margin of victory for the Reds.
