First and second year algebra, plane and solid geometry, and iriganomewy are available. The math students engage in ntany activities besides the regular class- room pragtice such cis field trips, actual construction of models of the solids, and the writing of research themes on various phases of mathematics. Quick and analytic thinking and an appreciation ot the beauty of geometric fcirm are stimulated in these classes. Page Fourlren Eqzaxpimeni Al llfll: B. O. Sims, ll. Gillespie, A Kinilurough, l-l.

Brown as instructor. Limited to seniors the two classes have a gay informolity that helps to create the atmosphere of the stage. The first principles of dramatic art are acquired, as well as those of public speaking and debating. Besides the experience a student gets in acting and producing plays, he also loses self-consciousness in address- ing an audience. That emphasis is not right. Do it againln Mrs. Brown says as she listens intently to ci student reading on the stage. Always first to volunteer, S. Ellner mounts the steps to read her selection. The glove is thrown, the leap is made as these students enact The Glove and the Lion for the members of the class. C. Gaines, VV. Kemmitzer, F. Petty, J. Pitts, and F. Cshenault take time out between readings to recuperate. Swords flash cis l-loratius defends the bridge. lvl. Worley, E. Little, L. Reeves, and H. Cobb dramatize this famous deed. MU ..

It keeps the girls busy learning to beautify their lzornes and improve their surroundings, They study color scheme, furniture, and remodeling in order to plan well balanced, attractive rooms. Several months are also spent in sewing and cooking when Miss Cochran teaches the students every thing troni sewing on a button to preparing a rneal. The experience gained in these classes is always useful to the girls in their everyday activities. Miss Cochran scents to like the ntodel rcont which M. McClure has made. F, Allgood and D.

Our librarian, Mrs. W. T. Jordan, and her staff of workers ntalqe it easy for dubious students xo find their desired material. Have you seen the bulletin board? Six new books arrived today . ln tlie library the students find a large and varied collection of fiction as well as a splendid so'ection of periodical literature to read in tlteir spare tinie. F. l-lodges, T. McRae, and H. Wlwitmire enioy an nour of relaxation in the read- ing room, Sign your name on the card, please, says S. Coleman and P. Stroud readily complies. F. Tucker is busy looking up the unknown words lie finds in liis reading. On the library mantel stands the loving cup won by tlie annuals of '38 and '39, Mrs. Jordon, our ever-helpful librarian, assists E. Nance in finding ntaterial in the reference books. Pirgc llln wily-fnrcr ANGUAGE DEP RTME Learning to know other people by learning their language is one ot the obiectives of this department. Miss Aileen Pope, instructor in this section of our curriculum, teaches first and second year French and second and third year Latin. A study is made of the lives and customs ot the early Romans and the influence their culture and language have upon our civilization today. In the French classes, when students have become relatively familiar with the mechanics of the tongue, they probe into French literature, art, and government in order to understand ond appreciate the people ot that nation, This department provides a cultural background that is ot as much value as the lcnowf ledge ofthe language itselt. Each notebook Miss Pope grades holds new interests and new facts, J. Weaver tells us that French is interesting. Try it. in the sentence she writes on the board.

TAGE TRUTTER To be or not to be f- members of this club wander up and down the halls of school with far-away looks in their eyes and recite with varying degrees of emotion these famous lines. The group is organized from the dramatics classes and has been in existence since I932. They meet twice a month in the auditorium where their business is conducted and pro- grams are presented to give the members in- formation about drama, acting, and how to be at ease before an audience. Each year the club has some worth-while undertaking which they sponsor. This year's project was to help in purchasing longeneeded scenery for the stage, This is a great benefit to the whole school and will remain useful for years to came. Pag Toward the end of this semester the club held a sports banquet. Leaving their dra- matic art behind, they motored outside the city limits and enjoyed the infcrmality of the occasion. Mrs, Brown, the sponsor, is a pro- motor of good will and fun as well as an excellent dramatics instructor and under her direction all the group's activities are affairs of interest and entertainment. For this year they chose as president, Frank Richards, vice-president, Madge Eustace, sec' retary, Eugenia Hodges, treasurer, Marie Lconey, and scribe, Faye Lewis. Since this club is a strongehold of laughter and good cheer the students of high school feel fortunate in having it as one of their or- ganizations ancl hope that it will never change in spirit or endeavor.

Page Forty-nrm' GLEE CLUB The students' desire tor more school music was answered in part this year by the organ- ization of a long-hoped-for Glee Club. Under the able supervision of Mr. Kenneth Hennessy it has proved most successful. A large group of interested students ap- peared on the day of organization. The first step was a voice test given to each individual in order to place him in the proper section. Then came an extended study of the funda- mentals ot vocalization, including scales, har- mony, and sight-reading. All this was neces- sary before the club was ready to make a public appearance. One of the mcst enjoyable as well as worth- while projects the club undertook during the year was that of singing carols a few nights before Christmas. Armed with candles and hymn-books they carried out their plans and brought happiness and cheer to many shut-ins. Part ot the membership dues was used to pay for the placing of the picture in our Golden Memories . The remainder of the money went for the purchase of music books which are to become the property of the club itself. Although the Glee Club is but one year old, it shows promise of becoming one of the most helpful and constructive clubs in school. to Right, First Row: M. Buchanan, J. Wohl, B. B. Beatty, N. C.

The officers are: presi' dent, Frank Richards, vicefpresident, Edwin Little, secretary-treasurer, Everett Powell. Their efforts have helped to make this club cne of Decatur t-ligh's most successful clubs. This organization eniphasizes both strength ef ideals and sportsmanship as well as devel- opment of physical slcill. They enter into all of their undertalangs with a will to win by fair means. By participation in many athletic activites the sturdy boys and girls of this club are bet- ter fitted for parts in other school enterprises. They indulge in games in which all may take part, such as softball, social games, and run- ning contests.

They have made a distinct place tor themselves both in our school and in the community. Theirs is a dual purpose: to maintain ci high standard ot ethical conduct among its member- ship, and to practice the art of public speak- ing. To become ci Lambda Pi Sigma one must be able to qualify in religious interests and per- sonal habits. Neophytes pass through a period ot rigid testing before they are admitted to the rank of tull-fledged brotherhood. Mr. Carlton Kelly organized the fraternity in T929 and has been its faculty adviser since that time. The Decatur Rotary Club has re' cently accepted the sponsorship ot the club, an honor which is highly appreciated by its mem, bers. Olticers tor V939-40 are the following: grandmaster, Leon Reeves, assistant grandmas- ter, NN. T.

What a record! This football season was the pride and ioy of Decatur, Crowds swarmed to Benson Field despite rains and blustery nights. The town turned out in its best regalia to watch history being made on the Raiders' grid- iron. The faint aroma of pop corn added spirit and zest to the colorful atmosphere. Enthusiastic cheers rose from both grand- stands and excited faces peered over the sidelines. The thrill of the first kick-off was surpassed only by the grandness of a touch- down. The score board told stories of vic- tory and success while a throng of specta- tors praised the Red Raiders' record. On Friday, September 29, l939, De- catur's Raiders opened the season by play- ing Jacksonville High School. Our boys made six touchdowns and three extra points, while the Jacksonville squad failed to score. A week later the strong Huntsville team beat the Raiders l3 points. Joe Bradley, our third opponent, gave the Decatur sub- stitutes a chance to see service. When the whistle blew the Red and Black eleven had four winning touchdowns. In the uncertain game with Cullman, Decatur made three touchdowns in the last quarter and finished with a score of 39-O. Athens, the Raiders' next victim, went down in defeat to the tune of 25-O. Then on our schedule came Florence. The Raid- ers, playing hard ball, did all the goal- crossing and made 39 points. On November lO Elkmont fell before the strong Decatur team with the latter making an appreciated 31. The Signs above were placed on our fair campus by Huntsville fans before our game with them. Here is a picture at our now-famous gate flooded with foot- ball advocates. While below, O. D. Tucker and S, Gamble watch eagerly as Decatur scores another touchdown. Pane Sixty-av Wm, am cw Saw ....

Page Sixty-nine n xv '27 ' v . .Mn -fr. 1+-4 The Decatur boys had plenty of spirit! They played with pep and vigor, but their lock of experience kept them from running up scores high enough to beat the opponents. Despite the team's bad record, we are proud of them because they are all iuniors and sophomores and have never played on a regular team before. It's only the beginning, folks. Just think what our record will be next year when the same boys pound the hardwood, Since they gained experience this year, we are looking forward to several Decatur players making the all country team in '4l. They always put up a good fight and never stopped trying until the final whistle had blown. ln view of this fact we know that the following ten boys are true basketballers. JOE BRAZLETON--Forward-Joe gained for himself the name Star Forward. JIMMY ROBINSON-Guard-ln the few games he played he learned to handle the ball. Y DAVlD MOTHERWAYfForward-David was fast on the floor and we missed him when he moved away. SCHUYLOR PRYOR-Guard-ln his first year Schuylor proved himself worthy of recognition on the court. MORGAN MARKHAM-Center-There's plene ty of action in Morgan's size l3 shce. We are counting on him for next year, tco. HAROLD SELEwCenterfl-larold's interest in the sport made him an effective player. EDWARD JOHNSON-Guard-Edward was a small flash with a good eye for the basket. CLYDE SMITH--Guard-l-le was willing to play and liked the game. WILBUR KIMBRELL H-Forward -'Shooting goals was Red's specialty. VALJGHN FRANCIS - Forward - Although small, he proved to be a good ball player.

The builders al this firm lourdrition arrr: EDWARD JOHNSON--Left Field. Ed was ri man that every right-handed batter feared. He has :niss- ed only one fly in two years. 'WALTER TODD Pitcher, Sonny threw a fast ball that was hard to hit, He was largely respon' sible for our opponents' low scores. JIMMY ROBINSON Third Base. Jimmy knew hovv to play his position and was a good nwan behind the bat. WILBER KIMERELL Second Base. Red could reach out and get them. He was a level-headed player and seldom made an error. MORGAN MARKHAM-First Base. Morgan, who was an initial baseman, always snriggerl thc' ball when it was within reach. JOE BRAZELTONW Pitcher. Our opponents soon found out that Joe Could pitch a soft ball and we are depending on him again this year. CHARLES BREWER-Out Field. Opponents were al- ways sorry to see Chesty pick up a bat for his batting average was higher than any other player on the team, CLYDE SMITH-Right Field. We are looking for- ward to his help this year lor he never missed a hall that came in his territory. DAVID MOTHERWAY--Short Stop. No man dared to hit a hall into the field for David could always be depended upon to get it. NOLAN SANDERS -Center Field, Nolan rarely missed any of those long, high flies.
