D.rtS. j RVELINGcS. ' 20. p«j ' Senior Class History WE, the cla?s of 1920, entered the Decatur High School in Sep- tember, 19] 6. Although we did not create much excitement by our entry, nor arouse any special interest in this scholastic world; nevertheless, we now hold the honor of being an all aroun.l class. A lew of our members have become quite renowned through their ingenuity of mind and a great many have won basket ball, toot ball and base ball laurels for the High School. During our Freshmen year, we were so busy getting accustom- ed to High School that not much more was done than to select offi- cers which were as follows: Dick Heller, president; Herman M. ' - ers, vice-president; Helen Dugan, secretary; Dorothy William.5. treasurer. Our class guardian was Professor Sarig. Our Sophomore year was taken up by extending our authority over the Freshmen. Of course we had our usual class parties and took part in athletics. Our Junior year started out with a rush. In the first place, we elected an able body of officers, who were: President, Herman My- ers; vice-president. Bee Leonard; secretary, Dick Durkin; treasur- er, Esther Reynolds. With the help of many live wires in the class, several class parties were held during the year, which prov- ed a complete success in bringing the class together. Although we were the first Junior class for years in the history of D. H. S. not permitted to give a play, we proved entirely original and com- petent in giving a Hop at the Masonic Hall, This proved suc- cessful and enabled us to carry out the established custom of giv- ing a reception for the Seniors. ' Twas in the fall of ' 19 that we realized that we were the Sen- ior class of the coming year. Hermrn Myers again headed the class, with everything favorable for our success. The school sea- son began with a number of new events and features. The names of Kern, Teeple, Myers, Keller and McConnehey will long be re- membered on the foot ball and basket ball records. We are proud to have a good showing on the girls ' basket ball team, whose name was widely made known throughout the athletic world. Dick Heller, who was yell leader during the year, was made editor-in- chief of the Senior High School paper Ravelings. The Rave- lings this year has been quite a success through the .hard work of the staff and the able outsiders of the Senior class. At the close of our last year we gave a play entitled Eliza Comes to Stay, which proved a howling success both as an entertain- ment and financially. Now we are bestowing on our never-to-be- forgotten High School the much needed lamp-posts, for which our play was given. Perhaps the brief sketch of our four years has seemed rather egotistical, nevertheless, we think we have a reason to be! DON ' T YOU? It has been the good fortune of the class of ' 20 to have Mr. Worthman as a helper and director wihenever opportunity pre- sented itself, and whose spirit and endeavor will long be remem- bered. SO. although the activities of this class in high school are at an end, they are leaving behind them an enviable record and de- parting with the certainty of success in all fields which they may enter.
