CHAPTER 1, We. the iniomparaliles. entered High school in the year ' 19, with eighty-three members (the largest class ever entered D, H. S and also the most brilliant I?) Soon after our arrival we had a class meeting and the following class ofBcers were elected; President. Dwight Thornburg: Vice President. Gregg Ball. Treas- urer. Geraldine Everett; Custodian. Lawrence Linn; Guardian, Miss Rackstraw. Li.ght blue and gold were chosen as our class colors. During our infancy period we held two class parties. The first one at the Gym. and the next one at the home of Fred Ahr This second party was a farewell one in honor of Miriam Leach. Dwight Thornburg, and Errol P age, who were leaving us. Our first year was a great success both socially and educationally, CHAPTER 11, In the year of our Lord, one thousand nine hundred and twenty (having passed through numerous trials and tribulations in our first year) the name of Sophomore was bestowed upon us, of which we were at the time justly proud. Our ofBcers the second year were: President, Gregg Ball; Vice President. David Hensley; Seiretary, Geraldine Everett; Treasurer. Catherine Christen; Custodian. Auburn Tlfomas; Guardian Miss Mary Frisinger, During this term we had but one party, that being at the home of Alfred Beavers, About the middle of the term, Gregg Ball left us. and David Hensley became president; Margaret Moran was elected vice presiilnnt. Aliout this time we were lieginninii to get a small particle of dignity; and we also put athletes on the field of battle, to do or die tor dear old D. H, S. We, too, won many lionors in other branches of work, and lower classmen as well as upper classmen were beginning to staml up and take notice of the Sophomores . And so we continued to clinil). CHAPTER 111. In the year of our Lord, one thousand nine hundrnd and twenty- one, we were termed or rather given the title of .liinior ' and were very swiftly climbing the ladder of succss. In Septemlier we proudly accepted seats in Miss Ossenburgs assemlily and began to prepare for the worst. At our first class meeting we elected tliese officers: President, Lawrence Linn; Vice President, David Hensley; Secretary. Lois Peterson; Treasurer, Christian Macy; Custodian. Harry Yahne; Guardian, Mary Frisinger. Soon David Hensley put his books away and became a business num. and Dorothy Durkin became Vice President. During this semester a class party was held at the Iiome of Mary Suttles; we all had a grand and glorious time. Kind reader, allow us to give you an idea of a lu.xurious and elaborate affair, namely. The .Junior Senior Reception, piloted by Miss Mary Fri- singer, now (Mrs. Dwight Peterson). We were as busy as bee.s. planning the wonderful reception which was to be given to the Seniors who were leavin.g our midst. Speaking of festivals, why my dear reader, you never did or never will be able to lay your eyes upon such an outlay of Eats and gaze into such a glittering ex- posure of galaxy, as was seen that one wonderful night at the K. of P. h(uiie. The Senior class was enchanted and bewitched at the beautiful, picturesque decorations, and the entertainment J?nvE i ii G-S. lurnislu ' d tliciii liy tlie famous .lunior Class of ■ lil . We wish to take this particular moment to express our ap- Iireciation of having such a Kuarilian as Mary Frisinser (luring our Sophomore and Junior years; no words can express our thanks tj her tor all she diil for us. hut «!• will iilways holrl a warm spot iu our hearts tor her. The Junior Class I ' lay ' -Creen Stockin -s was a s- ' rand success; the memhers of the Cast displayed exellent talent. And so cuir .lunior year passed. C11. 1 ' TER IV. In the year of our I.ord. one thousand nine hundred and twenty- two, we ihavini; heen honiu ' ed hy the name of Seniois forced upon us I entered into our last happy term in clear old 1). H. K. Our officers tor this year were: President, Lawrence Linn; Vice President, Dorothy Kurkin; Secretary, Margaret Christen; Treas- urer. Fred Kienzle; Custodian. Harry Vahne; Cuardian, Miss How- ard. At the beginning of the year many Seniors went out for Foot Ball; and although the season was not a victorious one, these Seniors are very proud of the battle they put up tor the old school. Soon after this toot hall season was over, basket ball season opened, and we put many men on the l)asket liall floor. One of our distinguisheil men was elei teil captain, and also made the all district team. We had many delightful parties, too numerous to mention; Our class play The Broken Idcd was the best ever given in llc- calur and the members of the cast deserve much honor and [iraise. The success of the play was due to the untiring efforts ot Miss Howard, our guardian, and Mrs. Chalmer Porter. We cannot ex- press our thanks and apju ' eciation ot their services enough, but we can only hope that any project under their able supervision wiU be a success as was - ' The Broken Idol. We are mighty proud of our guardian. Miss Howard, and wi! hope she realizes licjw uiuch we appreciate all the hard work sno did for the class. We wish her much .ioy in her married life, and want liir to remember that the Seniors of ■■ ' 22 will never forget whai a peach ot a guardian she was. . llow us now to turn very solemnly to the final wind up of the year. We enjoyed the Junior-Senior Reception very much and we wish Ihis Junicu ' class as much success in their Senior year as we have had.

Her forehead in the sky. —Virgil On the beautiful Mt. Olympus sat the all powerful Jupiter. Thronged about him were hosts of beautiful maidens, dancing and singing. At his side sat the lovliest of all. but shewas weeping. The big tears stood on her youthful cheeks and her face was full of woe. Listen! and I shall tell you the reason. Only the day before she had not been in this land of the Gods, but on earth. But why is she here, you ask; here is the reason. To those on earh she is dead but alas I she is only dead to them, for now she lives with the immortal gods on Mt. Olympus. She is lonely because she is so young and was so happy on earth. You see her husband was a scientist and he invented a way. by means of an electric torpedo, to go to Mars. No one besides himself, and his beloved wife had any faith in this discovery so one of them must try it out. He was too long so the dear little wife must go, and risk her life for her husbands profession. It was indeed sad when Prof. Auburnus de La Thomas bid tare- well to his little bride, but for humanity ' s sake they must do so. And now you know why the little wife is weeping. The cupbearer appeared before .Jupiter brin.Kin.c him his nec- tar and as he .glanced at the maiden he dropped the cup and yelled; Naomi Harkless! what are you doing here? Harry Yahnel are you dead? Well. I ' m supposed to be but I don ' t feel very dead. But what did you die from? And having gone to a seat by themselves (with Jupiter ' s consent) she told him her story, and then: — But. Harry. 1 haven ' t seen you since May l!l. 1H22. when we left old n. H. S. Well. Naomi, after that 1 didn ' t stay long on earth. You know 1 got into a strap with a teacher in H. S. and after school was over 1 met him on the street (one dark and stormy night) and that was the end of me. 1 thought I was strong, but alas! the army had made him stronger. When 1 think back to those H. S. days it makes me blue. Here Harry wiped a tear from his eye. Say. Naomi, you didn ' t happen to hear what became of old Dizzy Lank did you? He was in college when I left earth. Oh. yes he bought Willard Steele out and is raising sun- flowers for bird-seed. Oh horrors! to think of the Pres. of the distinguished class of ' 22 coming to such an end. But 1 suppose he and Kiki are happy? Indeed not. Kiki sued tor a divorce soon after their mar- riage; her complaint was unfaithfulness; she is now betrothed to Prince Ferdinand of Himolulu and Lank is rushing Esther Mi In- tosh. Will wonders nevi-r cease? Do you know anything about the rest? Yes. I know all about them. Last summer, just tor fun. Auburn and I looked them all up. To begin with .Myron Franks is married to .Mable Bess; soon after school was out they started their matimonial career and it proved serious. They live in Cal- fornia. and their twins took the beauty prize of that state last year. I found this out from Billie Leonard who was home on a visit last month. She lives in California too, and is gaining fame as a movie actress. People say she ' ll be a second Mary Pickford. Oh. Naomi, can this really be true. I can ' t believe it? Yes. it is. absolutely! Whatever became of (Uenn Hill? HVEJl IJ G-S. Oh. he ' s still in niHatur hut has cluiii.Kecl th.- iKiTiie of .li-ss LeHnin-s to Hiirs Swell Service Cafe and .Mary Suttles Hill is assistant manaKer.

Herbert Foreman and Jerry Everett eloped to Hillsdale and were married but now live in- - - - (anything but peace). Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Beavers (formerly Dorothy DurkinI are touring the country in the interest of Chewing Gum. Arthur Breiner is running a peanut farm. Margaret Kienzie and Lo)s Hammond are cow-girls and put most of the boys to shame with dare-devil stunts. OhI Harry I just can ' t think of any more, can you ' . ' I ' m almost too stunneil to talk, I really feel like weeping but I do want to hear about Leona Hunsicker, Mildred Railing, Mary Rhinehart and Genevieve Leichensteiger. Oh: of course I remember now. Leona Hunsicker is keping a econd hand store where Charlie Brock ' s used to be and as yet she liasn ' t found a man to suit her. Well, Harry 1 must confess I ' ve forgotten the rest. But, look — Who ' s that ' . ' Well, bless my soul. exclaimed Harry, It ' s Esther Burkett. Oh dear. sighed Esther, I didn ' t expect to see two of my classmates here so soon. Why are you here? Each told his story. Esther and Ed Bochneck of lourse had married but he after- wards fell in love with a chorus girl and left Esther so she had killed hersef. ■i ' es, and I ' ll tell you kids 1 believe in tliat poem. Chan.ge the name and not the letter, cliange for worse and not for better. Say. Esther, can you tell us what Mary Rhinehart. Genevieve Leichtensteiger and Germaine Christen are doing ' . ' Yon bet I can. Germaine is teaching Public Speaking at Mon- mouth and is doing famously. Her class presented Three Nights In a Bar Room at Ft. Wayne not long ago and made some hit. Well Harry, why are you weeping ' . ' Asked Esther. Oh: Girls tins is sail. sad. sad. I ' m really disappointed in nVE l IJ G-S. our class. Have we named tliem all Naomi? No there ' s five more, Frances Borne. Albert Cramer, Lawson Lenhart, Melvena Butler and Margaret Christen. Oh I I know what they ' re doing. laughed Esther. Margaret Christen is playing the part of the bearded lady in a circus and last week a boy grabbed her beard and pulled it off so now she ' s out of a job because everyone knows she ' s a joke. Frances Born ' is suing her husband for a divorce and will sail for foreign land.? as soon as posible. Albert Cramer is a U. S. Senator and Lawson Lenhart owns a dance hall at Belmont Park. Melvena Butler has invented a new kind of hair oil for men and has made a fortune. It ' s a sicK.d thin.s tliere were ' nt any more in that ilass of ' :;2 or Harry would l e in tits. Just then a loud noise summed them to the banquet hall. It was none other than Jupiter who told them when to retire and now each of the three immortalss of the cass of ' 22 went to his restin.ff place. Then to their starry domes the girls depart.

One can only resort to the common plirasc It was wonderful I The scene was laid in tlie hcaiilifiil country hoiiif- of Mr. an i Mrs. Berkley. The part of .Mr. Berkley was admirably taken Ijv Lawrence Linn, who seemed at times severely hen-pecked. Germaine Christen as Mrs. Berkley was all that a good wife should be (she ' s practicinK early i and her acting was delishtfully done. The occasion for ihe gatherins at their home was a house-party, and the guests widely differed with regard to character and dis- position. There was Hazel Norwood, a very dear friend of tlie Berkleys and a protege of Phil Oleason. The inncjcence and swct disposition of Esther Mcintosh as Hazel, the leading lady, were apparent in every one of her speeches, and her great talent for acting was shown in the emotional parts of the play. Her epeech after she learned the true character of her daddy Phil when she declared that her idol was hrokn. was worthy of any professional. Also present at the house-jiarty was Phil Gleason, president of the (Jleason Construction Company and trusted friend of the Berkleys. Fred Kienzle. in the role of Phil, was a very convincin.? and kind dadily to Ksthi-r. He showed his willingness to improve liy :;i in.i; up. at Esther ' s urging, smoking, fishing on Sunday and iiihcr mild pleasures, in which he had always indulged. Two other noted members of this affair w-ere (Uenn Hill and Helen Swearinger, who had previously made a solemn pledge that I hey would a,gree to disagree. Their brilliant reportee was the liest ever, and was handled hack and forth with such vigor and vim. that everyone howled at their appearance. Bud Smith made a wonderful villain, a wortliy rival of Mr. — (there we almost said it.i Anyhow, he was a very villainous villain. Alton Hower was a typical Imsines man. and acted the part to perfection. He was a sort o( a trusty between Phil ' s friends and enemies and as such secured much valuable information. Then there was Cierald Cole, as Governor of New York, a vener- able white-haired gentleman, .gave a perfect interpretation of a public official. He was much bewildered and upset at the nen- dances urged upon him by Helen, and was exceedingly tliankfal to have escaped the ordeal alive.

At our first class meeting we elected the following officers; Mr. Smith, guardian; Irvin Steele, president: Deane Dorwin. secretary; Josephine Suttles, treasurer; and Roljert Brandylierry. custodian. The class colors chosen were Old Rose and (iray, and tlie class flower. Violets. The first party was at the home of Harriet Myers. It was tor the purpose of getting acquainted, and before the evening was over every one knew everybody, and all had a very good time. The second class party was given out in the country at the home of Florence Magley. near Monmouth. Some of us went out in cars and otliers on the interurban. We surely had a good time. We had plenty of room to play games, especially Black Man, and Tag. Delicious refreshments were served. We left at a late hour reporting a very good time. We had a big part in the program on Class Day. Alfred Bu.x- ton, a former member of the class, gave a speech, after which the entire class went on the stage wearing little green caps. We sang clever songs, gave yells and to a suitable yell we ton ' up our green caps to signify that we w ' ere ready to give up green caps, et ., and ready to go on with our school career. Everbody said our stunt was the best of all the other classes, and of course we were glad for the praisi ' . and thought we deserved it. Wlit th. High school gave the bard time party at tile C.yui, loth decorated in our class colors and sold candy, pies, and all good tilings to eat. We also had a room where we sold kisses, and tobi fortunes. We made a good sum of money for the High school. We entered tile Soplionion ' year with an enrollment of lifty- five. We had the following class meetings and parties October 10, 1921, at :j:30, we elected the following otticers; Miss Selemeyer, guardian; Deane Dorwin, president; Harriett Myers, vice presi- dent; Margaret Zwick, secretary; Florence Biggs, treasurer; and Robert Brandylierry was elected for custodian. Xovemlier 14. 1H21. we held a class meeting to decide on class colors tor the following year. After much discussion green and white were chosen. November ifi 1921 we had a party at the home of Harriett ilyers. All reported a very good time. At the end of the first semester twenty-tive Sophomores were ailded to the class. We were very glad to have them ami to make our class as large as possible. February 14, the girls gave a Valentine party [or the boys at the home of Jestine Hocker. The house was beautifully decorated tor the occasion. Delicious refreshments were served. The lioys departed at a late hour saying they had a wonderful time. April 7, 1922, the boys, to show their appreciation tor what the uii-js had linni ' fnr tli.-iu. gave a party at the Masonic Hall in honor (d the girls. ( lames and dancing were the chief features of the evening. Wafers and punch were served. The girls gave nine rah ' s for the fellows and reported a wonderful time. We are very proud of the fact that our class had a bi - part nvEji ij G-S. - in the athletics this year. We liad two men on tlie Varsity liasliet- Ijall team and we feel that they need honorable mention. They are Deane Dorwin and Irvin Steele. Yea Sophomore ' s Let ' s 1:0: !

They then called a meeting for the election of class officers, those whom we elected were: Don Hunsicker. president; Clyde Cline. vice-president; Eloise Lewton. secretary; Ruth Tinkham. treasurer and James Leonard, doorkeeper. Crimson and silver were selected as the class colors and the sweet pea as our class flower. We chose the following motto. The joy that you give to others is the joy that comes back to you. to guide us not only through our school work liut through our life ' s work as well. Our new studies were not found to be as difficult, as some had anticipated, although we frequently got swamped on Latin. Abimt eight years ago we learned our A B. C ' s and tho ' t we knew them, but in Algebra we learned for the first time that the values of some of these letters were known, and some unknown. We tried to keep our standards after the semester tests. This we succeeded in doing in a somewhat creditable manner; but to do so we had to forgo many an hour of pleasure. At the beginning of the second semester our ranks were in- creased liy the addition of thirteen recruits. Tliey were: Ma.r- .garet Bell Atz, Helen Eady, Edna Foreman. Xellie Johnson. Ernest Lake. Richard Miller, .- udry .Moser. Catherine Nichols. George Reynolds. Mary Shackley. Rol)ert Striikb-i-. Robert Thorp and Karl Tucker. On the evening of Halloween we had a party at the home of Herliert Fuhrman. who lives north of town. The evening was spent in .games of all kinds, and last but not least, of the evening ' s en- joyment, we partook of a most delicious lunch.

Porti-r. was organized in Xovember. 192U when a meeting Avas called in the Latin room and the following officers were elected: President, Nellie McGath; vice president. Lois Peterson; secretary. Roliert Daniels; treasurer. Kathr.vn Dorwin. The purposes of the Latin club are many, to promote a .greater interest in Latin. Then about the customs and lives of the Romans; English words from Latin and numerous worth The chief one is too. we learn all the derivation of things. In 1922 the Latin clul) was reorganized under tlie direction of Hiss Dunathan with the same officers excepting the chairman of the committees and with the usual pep. Lois Hammond was appointed chairman of the entertainment committee and Gerniaine Christen whose place was later taken by Mar.garet Christen was appointed chairman of the program committee. Our first meeting was held at the home of Gretchen Graham and with the new members present we had a fine meeting. Each member of the program committee performed his duty with the utmost care and the program is never lacking in any respect. The entertainment committee never fails to have some new Latin games which are especially interesting. Everybody has a good time and no one knows what it is to have a dry time at the Latin Club. One of the best features of our meetings is the delicious lunch which is always served before the meeting adjourns. If you think anyone ever goes away hungry ask the Soph and Junior boys. On April 21, 1922. the Latin Club gave a party and dance and invited the students of the neighboring Latin departments and the friends of the Latin Club members. Eevryone had a grand time. The Latin Club has a large membership. Only Sophs. .Juniors and Seniors of good standing are eligible.

IlUunni J otcs The Decatur High School Alumni Association was organized in Fehruary iri21. by a group of graduates and former students who clearly saw the need of an organization of this sort to keep in closer touch with the school, and to lend its help in times of need. The response to the membership drives was gratifying, a membership of 176 being secured. This membership should be increased to seven hundred, and it can be done if the graduates and former students would enter as whole-hearteilly into the work as they might. The cdass of 1921 will will go on r ecord as the first class to join the Decatur High School Alumni Association as a whole. It is to be hoped that the class of 1922 will keep up the work and create a precedent that will become traditional. Space does not permit of a detailed acccmnt of the purposes of the association, or of the effort that has been made in its organi- zation — of the work it has done — and what it hopes to do. Fur- ther publicity will be given soon, however, and details of the plans for the future will be made public. Below we give the names of the officers and memliers of the association: Chalmer Schafer.

Of course, i ' ops was jusi a little mixed, as Spiff an l Masli. with their superior intellit;enet. realized. For the snn. you know, is always brilliant, some place or another. They, however, decided not to inform Pops of this very evident fact, for they needed his help to carry out their plan, and peace must be kept, at any price. The idea had occurred to them while they were discussing the stranpe disappearance of their pal, Hally, who had gone with a fnited States pilot. I ' or a jaunt in an aeroplane, and had nevi-v since been seen. We ' ve searched this whole wide world. narrated .Mash, ami haven ' t found them. They can ' t be on this earth!

As you we; ' e saying. he continneil, Hally and the pilot might be up on .Mars. Wc ' ve got to lind out. or I ' ll never rest again. Ditto, hut how ' ll we gel there? (piestioned Mash. •■(). then ari ' lots of ways! loftily declared Spiff. Fo- instance? We-ll, as I said there are plenty of methods. Plenty. Why. we — we might even have some one shoot us three. That ' s it. we ' ll have Pops shoot us there in a canon ball! This extraordinary statement was duly reported to Pops who then made the aforementioned remark. But the spirits of Spiff ' and Mash were not at all dampened by Pop ' s laik of ardor. They made plans tor the construction of a spei-ial cannon hall, which would be large enough to hold the two of them. Pops reluctantly gave his aid and plenty of free advice, and finally the huge ball was finshed. Before sunrise the next morninu (tliey didn ' t want everybody gaping at them 1 the boys wen ' ready for their trip. They climb- ed into the car.non ball, and adjusted themselves to its shape as best they could. Pops shouted the majio words, Ready! Aim! Fire! and oft ' they went just as swift as greased lightning. It was no more than sixty five minutes until their journey was over. The ball landed with a terrific thud, and was completely smashed. Spiff and Mash were not hurt a bit. for the heavy lining in the ball absorbed all shocks. They glanced up, and saw before them the ciueerest crowd of liiiman beings imaginable. There was something apish in their faces, ami their hands were compltely covered with a growth of coarse, blue hair. Their eyes were star shaped, and were a gleam ing, piercing red. Their clothes were of a pure, intensely bright, snow-like material. As Spift ' and Mash gazed upon this gorgeous display of colors, they involuntarily cried, Hurrah tor the Red, While and Bine! J?nVEJl II G-S. Then a que :- thing happened. Two of the natives stepped for- ward, and gave the American salute I At this, some of the others blew a smoky sort of stuff in a jerky manner through their nostrils. The rest responded in the same way. and finally Spiff and Mash divined they were giving signals, and that this was their language. The boys approached the two who had stepped forward, and glanced hopefully at them. But there was nothing in the looks of the strangers which suggested Hally or the pilot to them. They mournfully shook their heads and looked at each other. And then, they could not tear their eyes away. For the luvva Pete! sputtered Mash, you look just like the rest of ' em. Humph! exclaimed Spiff, I couid say the same thing if 1 wanted to be a copy-cat. But look at them two monkeys. The two natives had been acting very strangely. They would open their mouths, force their tongties up and down, and gesticu- late wildly with their hands. Finally, one of them was able to make a squeaky sound, and then he formed the words. Si)ift and Mash! The boys were dumfounded. ed him. rushins; up to them, and wn, and joyfully thumped Hally! they cried, and wildly embra The other one who was the pilot, canu they fiercely pumped him arms up and d( him on the back. Hally and thi ' pilot had now fully gained their power of speech. The four then discovered ways for immediate departure, but could think of no practicable plan. Hally ami the pilot decided to call in the natives for a consultation. They smokily conversed with them, and the king said he knew of no way their escape could be accomplished except by use of the flowers of the rope-grape. These blossoms were coils of a heavy rope-like material, grouped in lusters, and when pulled off, could tie unwound. They tied several thousand of these ropes together and, under the king ' s guidance and with the help of several natives, drove a huge stake in the ground. It protruded far over the edge of Mars and on it they tied the rope. Then, after affectionately bidding goodbye to the king and his subjects, they were ready to depart. Spiff and Mash insisted that Hally and the pilot go first, so that they would not lose them again. So each In turn swung his legs around the rope and slid down, landing safely on the earth. They looked at each other with wide grins of happiness upon their faces and saw that they had again changed to earth people. Hally and the pilot gave them a brief account of their escapade. They had been caught in a cyclone and it had tossed the plane up and up until it had hit something with such force that they were thrown out of the plane and fortunately landed on Jlars. They had made friends with the natives, who thought they were gods, and had treated them very royally. The Marsians were never able to unfasten the rope. How do I know? Look through any astronomers telescope and you will see Mars, lieautiful. stately, majestic Mars — and thereby hangs a tall. CATHERINE CHRISTEN, ' 11. ?nVEJl IJ G-5 MYSTERY ISLAND. ■Hclln Iiarl.

Then he prepared to leave the room. n(dores. or Si otty as she was called by her friends, knew that it was best not to (luestion her father any further. If there was any more to tell her father would do so. He always told her everything. Mr. Scott had been a regular pal to his daughter since the death of his wife four years previous. ly Scotty. during the course of the next day. forgot all about the trouble anil agitation at Wainwright ' s Tire and Rubber Co. But it all came back very vividly to her when she reached home about four o ' clock and saw her father in the living room looking very troubled and preoccupied. He greeted her laconically. Scotty went to her room and remained there until her father called her down about si. o ' clock. There were three other men in the ball. They were introduced to her as Maddox, Cadwell and l,;indis Scotty had heard of Mattox before. He was employed in Wain- wright ' s office. Some weeks before she had heard lier fatbei- say Mattox was promoted to the heart of one of the departments. Scotty for some unaccountable reason felt uneasy, I don ' t like them. 1 don ' t like them. she murmured over and over to herself. Why is Dad with them ' . ' Tlien she awakened from her reverie by the sound of her father ' s voice. ■Tm .i;oing away. Scotty lu-aid hint saying. Don ' t wait for me. It will be late. That night Dolores fiuind it impossible to concentrate on any- thing. The swarthy face of .Mattox was in her mind continuously. . t last worn out she had fallen into a troubled sleep. Scotty had not been asleep long when she was awakened by her father ' s steps in the hall. While she was wondering what time it was the hall clock struck four. Dad surely hasn ' t been out all ni.ght, she thought to herself. He never stays out late. Tlie next morning at six o ' clock .Mattox was waiting in front of the Scott home for .lack Scott. He was saying goodbye to his daugliter. You look ratlier pale. Uolores. Yes, answered Scotty. Troubled witli insomnia last night. Y ' ou weren ' t worryin.g about me, were you ' . ' 1 guess that was the trouble. Scott frowned then answered li.ghtly. Don ' t do it. I ' m all- right. Scott again I ' eached home a little after four. Dolores was decidedly worried. Then there was three days wlu ' U be was not home at all. When he reached home Scotty announced that the Kennedys hart asked her to spend the summer with them in Arona. Maine. To say the least, Mr. Scott seemed very much delighted and relieved. Dolores was hurt but she tried FnvEji ij G ' S. not to show it. Of course she woukl go with the Kennedys if her father desired. She had always spent her summers with them. Three weeks later the Knnedys accompanied by Dolores Scott, alias Scotty. arrived in Arona. Maine. Arona was a small town where many people came to spend their summers. Out in the lake were many islands. Directly in front of the Kennedy cot- tage some distance out in the lake was a small island. So dense were the shrubbery and trees that one could not see the interior of the island when rowing around it. I ' d like to go to that island. announced Scotty. oneday, to Sam Gray, a fisherman who occasionally, worked around their cottage. I ' d be glad to take you. iliss Scott. he answered. But all trespassing is forbidden. It is owned by an out of town man. Then it he is not here why can ' t we go anyway ' . ' she per- sisted. Reason enough. There are two scoundrels who hang around there all day with guns. But why should the owner want to guanl an island on whii h there is nothing but shrubs? 1 don ' t know, answered Sam. Dolores did not, entirley, forget the issland. It was quite near, so one day she swam over to it but did not land because she caught sight of two malicious looking men seated in a low tree whose boughs overhung the water. The same evening some old friends of the Kennedys called. They were urged to stay all night. Mrs. Kennedy asked Dolores to sleep in the small room at the front of the cottage. The ceiling sloped and the room seemed small and stuffy. Having changed rooms Scotty was unable to sleep. She arose and went to the window. It was yet dark out- side. Suddenly she was attracted by a light out in the lake. It was on the island. But why should there be a light at this time? It was nearly three thirty. Scotty watched the light until it went out. U m. eight luinutes till four. she murmured, looking closely at her watch whicli was on the table near the window. When Dolores again looked out of the window, the dim figures of several men could be discerned. They were rowing away in a boat. She watched them until she could see them no longer. The next day Scotty spoke to several people about the light but no one had been up at that time, however, within the next three weeks nearly everyone had seen the light on mystery island as it was now called. Sam Gray had seen the men come from the island and take the four o ' clock train to the city. He did not know them. ■Sometimes there were three and sometimes four, Sam in- formed Scotty. .And sometimes. he continued the fourth one took the trolley car at five thirty-five. Scotty was intensely interested. One morning she arose verv very early to take a walk. Just as she was going down the main street of the village she caught sight of her father boarding the five thirty-five trolle.v car. Scotty was greatly surprised for she supposed her father was back in Oakdale. Then the memory of Mattox, Cadwell. Landis and the missing money rushed to her mind. Could lit be that the men who left the island every morning were Mattox and her father? All the villagers suspected these men of some grea crime. Surely it wasn ' t possible that her father was implicated in the theft at Wainwright ' s. Scotty could see no F JV L IJSZ S. other ssciluticin. However, slie was iletcM ' mineil to find out the truth. The next niorninu she arose at three thirty. She watrhed llie lisht until it went out at eight minutes till four. The lour men none other than .Mattox, Scott, Cadwell and Landis rowed to the shore. Althou.cih Siotty was practicaly tonvinced that her lather had committed some wrong, she was bound to unravel the mystery. That night, clad in knickers and tennis shoes she sat on the shore watching the island. About nine o ' clock the two men who guarded the island during the day rowed toward the main part of the village. Scotty quickly shoved a light canoe into the water and in a few minutes she reached the island. If 1 bring the canoe ashore the ' would lie sure to run into it and thus find out that someone was on the islanil. she reasoned to herself. 1 can swim it it is necessary. So site left the canoe drift. With much diHiculty she made her way tlirough the den e brush and shrubbery. Much to her surprise she found the interior of the island cleared. The moon was shinin.g brightly. A small cottage which stood in the center of the island was plainly visible. Scotty walked over to the cottage. The door was not locked. She stopped and listened cautionsly. She could hear someone row- ing near the isand. Dolores quickly and quietly opened the door and stepped into the house. She could hear men ' s voices. She concealed herself back of a cupboard which stood across one corner of the room. Immediately the men entered. There were three, the largest of which came over to the cupboard took down a lamp and lit it. Scotty shivered as she saw the face of Matto.K in the lamplighl. The others were Lanilis and Cadwell. Her father was not there. Matt(i. seemed an.my and worried. He spoke in r(Higli tones, Siott ' s (liming down on the trolley at ten tliirty. 1 don ' t know what to make of him. After that night in Wainwright s office 1 xvas convinced that he was a crook. He has helped us a whole lot in tile last month. But to-day I saw him shaking hands witli Wainwright. There iis .iust (me of two things. He is either pullini: something that he is not letting us in on or lie is betraying us. Then Cadwell answered him. 1 don ' t think we can trust S.dtty.

Scotty. crouched in her hiding idace. only heard tlie hrst jiart of the speech, those awful words. we ' ve got to fix S( ott to-night. She was growing desperate. She must escape to warn lier father. -Again she heard the voice of Mattox. iMi.ght as well go in and have a game of cards until Scott dimes. The three moved to the front part of the house. Noiselessly Scotty slipped from her hiding place and through the door. As she began making her -way thru the brush she saw a man ' s figure concealed there. Scotty became almost paralyzed with fright. Her first thought was of Charley and Don. The dim figure turned JFjJV£7l IJSZ S. - you here, Dolores? are going to kill you.

They Who, demanded Scott. Mattox said he would fix you. Is he there now? Yes, but don ' t go to the cotage. I ' m not going alone, Dolores. Mr. Scott then gave a low whistle and six men, coming from their various hiding places approached. He then prepared to take his daughter back to Kennedy ' s while the officers raided the cot- tage. After Mrs. Kennedy, who was half frantic with fright at Dolores ' absence, was assured that everything was allright. Scotry and her father settled down for a long talk. It was impossible for either of them to sleep. But Dad. how did you sun They are such experienced crook; il in getting their conlidenc The first time, Dolores, that missing nothing was said about it. I great amount of money was I was squite sure that Mattox was guilty. Mr. Wainwright did not think so. I could not rest until it was cleared up although I knew Wainwright did not sus- pect me. About that time Mattox was promoted. One night 1 knew he was coming back to his office to finish some work. I secretly, went back too. Wainwright ' s office is next to that of JIattox. 1 went to his office, opened the sate and took out ten thousand dollars. Just as I was in the midst of the act Mattox entered. I acted very contused and emberrassed and tried to make excuses for myself. He said it was all right and nothing would be said if 1 would only put it off till some other time, for Wainwright might suspect him as he knew he was there that night. I became quite familiar with Mattox. One night when he was rather drunk he became confidential. He confessed ot the haul he had made at Wainwright ' s. Of course, I confided this to Wain- wright who agreed that i should go on with my plan until we found out more aliout liim. When the last money disappeared, I supposedly was discharged. All those nights that I was out I was with Mattox and his gang, everything that was stolen was taken to mystery island which is owned by Jlattox. It will all be returned now. I hope I shall never have an occasion to turn crook again, especially if my daugh- ter feels that it is her duty to clear me. —LOIS HA.M.MOXD. nvEji ij G-S.

Keep it up and some day you ' ll be a regular heart-breaker. Maurice walked oH with a heart full ot eonflicting emotions. He longed to see Evelyn, yet he was afraid not to heed Jack ' s advice. Advice is a great thing sometimes. That night a very dignified and smartly dressed Maurice led a wondering Beverly thru ' the crowded uptown streets. As they wended their way they talked — that is Beverly did. Maurice an- swered in monosyllables. Lots of peop le down town. she ventured. Always is, Maurice said indifferently. I wonder why? ■W ' hy what? asked Maurice. Why so many people are up town. Oh it ' s just natural, just like turkey on Thanksgiving. Then a sigh. Why is that natural. Maurice glanced at her and a cloud passed over his face and he managed to control his temper. If Evelyn had asked the self- same riuestion he would have been tickled to death to answer. Well, I don ' t know why, but it is anyway, he answered with an air of finality. Beverly regarded him with lowered lids. What ' s wrong with you and Evelyn? she asked. We ' ve quit. When. asked the inquisitive Beverly. Last night. Oh. she murmured. She understood now. Maurice had had a spat with Evelyn and was only with her to make Evelyn jealous. She was a tool. The idea struck her hard. She gave her head an indignant toss. Well she tho ' t tools are expensive. Let ' s go to the Alhambra she suggested. A chill passed down Mauriice ' s spine, it was the most e.xpen- sive show in town. But he couldn ' t refuse. It wouldn ' t look right. All right, and at the theatre Beverly helped to select the seats. Let ' s sit in the Orchestra circle. We can see and hear lots lietter there. Another chill— and an ashen hand reached into his pocket to deduct a five dollar bill. It looked awfully sick after the ticket seller was through. It was a .good show but spoiled for Maurice by the knowledge of what it cost him. I ' m almost famished. gasped Beverly shortly after they had emerged. So am I. answered Maurice for the sake of politeness. Which restaurant shall we go to? I think they have such cute little dishes up to Henri ' s, let ' s go there, imparted Beverly. All right, said Maurice but his jaw sogged as he remembered what one friend said of Henri: — and he just shut his eyes and said: ' Seven dollars and twenty cents, please. They joined the crowd and were carried along with them until they liroke away before the alluring sign Henri ' s. They entered and checked their wiaps. Maurice was busy fig- uring.

Then he happened to think Evelyn never compelled him to spend that much. Yes, Evelyn was the only girl for him both amorously ami economically. Finally he reached home. He walked slowly up the steps and fumbled with the latch key. It was not there. He reached out desparingly and pushed the door liell. After two or three attempts he was ailuiiiiteii by Mrs. Burton who handed liini a note. Maurice tore opin tin- envelope feverishly. Dear Maurice: 1 just came from Evelyn ' s and she is wuri ' ied to death over you. She says she is sorry she treated you sn badly and all that bunch of dope. Now is the time for you to op off a bunch of Mowers and beat it down to her house. I told her I ' d try to talk you into the notion of ciuning back. She told me how much she liked you and all that stuff and told me if I ever told you she ' d never rest till she got to dance at my funeral. What do you kno.v about that ' .

I ' ll not do it. stormed Mary. 1 haye neyer been bossed about like this in all my life, and I ' ll not permit it no y. So there, burn the old will and see if I care. Such were the words of Mary Dunson to the gi ' ey haired attor- ney, who had just tinished reading; the will of her guardian. liichard Law, ilary ' s Mother had died when Mary was a wee baby, and when her father died. La. y cared for her as his own c hild. Now he had died and left a disagreeable will behind him. He reall.v should have known better than to leave such a wiill. for he had many times been compelled to deal with contrary, little Mary. He should have thought of her willfulness and scheming ways, before he added that condition to that most important legal paper. But why try to make Law over, or why try to change his will? Law was dead, and the will said as plainly as man might wish, that all Law ' s money and property be given to charity unless Mary marry Watson Blaire liefore the first of May. But Mary did not propose to mary Blaire. First of all, she had never seen iiim. Second, she didn ' t want to marry any one. Third, the eternal contrary streak was abrood again. But, my dear girl, what do you propose to do? interrupted the poor old man. You surely realize that you are penniless, vithout a lioiu , and unal)le to support yourself, unless the will is olieyed. This young man is of e- cellent family, or Law would not force you to marr him. That is just just it. she interrupted. I do not intend to be forced to marry anyone. I do not intend to marry him. I would rather marry the poorest pauper of my own choosing than a prince of some one elses ( ommand. And, what is more. I do not intend to obey this will. I am Lining to leave this detestable place, and never come liack. With those words .Mary hastened out into the street and on to her lovely home that was soon to be given to charity. A slender little figure boarded the 11:2(1 e.xpress that nite and was carried far away to a quiet little home among the friendlv hills w ' here friends gladly received her. Let us turn to a Xew York apartment house. A young man is seated before a small stand. He has a long envelope in his hand, and seems greatly agitated over something he reads over and over again.

S. has completed a basket bail season to be long rememi)ered and incomparable to any previous, due to the intensive training and non-dissapation on the part ol; the participants. The season opened the same day that D. H. S. bowed to defeat on the Gridiron at Ahr ' s field. D. H. S. defeated the fast Kirkland quintet by a large score in the opening game. Later in the season D. H. S. continued their winning ability by defeating the Bluffton H. S. at BUittton the first time in nine years and from this time on D. H. S. was ranked as among the best. Next they defeated the fast and furious Fort Wayne H. S. quintet which were termed as one of the fastest in their part of the state To show the pluckiness of the D. H. S. cagers after l)eing defeated hopelessly on their home floor by the incomparable brilliant out- fit from Kendalville they in a return game won from the above mentioned team at Kendallville without the presence of Teeple and Me.vers our Guard and Forward. About this time D. H. S, began to realize their importance in the basket ball world. Many teams who were of reputalile nature holding a long strin.K of vic- tories were waterlooed liy the H. H.

Ne.xt D. H. S. nocked Liljerty Center five off the map. Ah. at last kind readers, listen to the tale I have to tell. ' D. H. .s. defeated Bluffton in a ten minute overtime game. Xever was such an exhibition of physical strength and courage displayed to the general public as was this game of wit and skill. The next town to pin crepes on themselves was the Monroe aggregation which is noted for basketball players. Having defeated the Mon- roe team. D. H. S. won the honor of representing this District in the Regional tournamnt held at Purdue. However, owing to various hindrances and lireaks of the game, D. H. S.was defeated by the team of Whiting and were eliminated from the State race for honors. Neverless we are .justly proud of our B.

Nevertheless, the iianie was played and lost due to inexperience of D. H. S. men and inaliility to cope with Stamates the fast and dashing quarterback of Warsaw. However. D. H. S. was not to l)e disheartened by a small thing of this type. Next we were beaten by Fort Wayne High school at Fort Wayne, but nevertheless, the old light v as not taken away. After various defeats, which were due to hard ' Uck and otlier things, too numerous to mention, the season ended. With the experience the men have had this year, next year will be a winner .

The entire backfield remains. .John Teeple. this year ' s captain remains to battle for honors. With Squire Engler as Captain and pilot, and coach Moore putting the team in shape H. H.

Athletic Assiutatinn A tew (lays after school started, a meeting was called for the election of officers, of the Athletic Association. Aliout ever.vone responded and joined hands to make the Athletic Association a great success. The following were elected: Harry Yahne. presi dent: Clarence Miller, vice president: Kathryn Dorwin. secretary: .J. D. L. Cline. treasurer. Each memher was taxed the small sum of 25 cents for the pur- pose of helping to ohtain new football paraphnalia and basketball suits also track and baseball equipment. Those who belong to this organization should be proud, for every loyal school boy or girl belongs and arc putting every bit of push into it they can. We. the class of ' Tl. wish better success and spirit toward this nol)l)le cause and may the High school students of D. H. S. wake up to the fact that pep is an essential element to winning a victory. We. the officers of the A. A. of D. H. S. who must tender our resigna- tion, do hope and pray that Athletics may take a more prominent place in High school activities and students may become more interested in this noble cause and get behind it and boost, rather than knock. Also may the students who stand on the side lines and knock and crab rather than leave a kind word, get into a suit and show your ability and if this is all wcukeil nut systemat- ically, then D. H. S. will be a school noted for its athletics. Yea, D. H. S. Yea! ' Fnv ' Eji iiszG-S. FRED KEINZLE Although the fairest of our sex and most handsome the Kirls say, Fred is sure a heart breaker not only among the femin- ine sex Init among the others as well. When he started those yells that thrill ones soul through and through he especially ef- fected some of Monroe ' s spectators who went home with a hrokeu heart. They all take notice when Fred starts acros the floor. His marcelled hair waving in the air. and an odor of Djer Kiss filling the air is sure to get the best yells from everyone. This is Fred ' s last year and we are sure it will lie hard to find anyimo to fill his place. JERRY Jerry is a persim. little in size, liuiie in voice, frail as a field mouse, kind like a lamb, gentle as a mule and possessing a personality which commanded respect by all who knew him. He is no doubt one of the most popular in D. H. S. When everyone said good-bye to D. H. S. like a sunbeam on a cloudy morning, Jerry would appear on the floor and in an instant D. H. S. would begin to score on their opponents. Jerry was always on the job and only through his influence and that of a few others did D. H. S. attain success. Jerry has another year in D. H. S. and will no doubt prove a valuable athlete it nature allows him to take on a little weight and liulk. Yea Jerry Yea! RED STEWART Hit ' em high — hit ' em low — Yalil Deiatur. Let ' s go! These encouraging and happy words would rin.i; throughout the hall as a liright flash darted across the floor. With every ounce of energy and with a true heart he would lead an aggregation of sev- eral hundred people in one yell after another. Such is the likeness of Red Stewart who was known at the District Tournament as an exceptionally good acrobat when it comes to starting the yells and bringing them to an end with a snap. Red has another year to display his voice and many extraordinary movements. MUGS She ' s Irish, she ' s pretty, she ' s charming. She loves a certain barber who is on the team. She has a bautiful voice, she is not very large but is a member of the State Champion Basket Ball team. She is very sociable, she has a smile for everybody. She is a girl full of pep and for the good of everything and liked by all who know her. She is ready to stick up tor the right and her Irishness stands out as a leading characteristic. She is a girl who can make the most quiet man oi.en up his face and sing or yell for his school. She led the singing at the District Tournament and sure did a wonderful job of it. yhen D. H. S. would .go behind she would yell, Bobby and a basket was made. We greive to tell you she graduates this year and her place will not hhe easily filled. Rah, Mugs ' ,, Rah. MR. FRANCE CONTER kx this time, in this place allow us to give to one man who is a booster for D. H. S. and a man who is much iu ' rested in High school activities a small part of tlfe credit due him. He is a man who sort of kept a fatherly hand over the football team of n. H. S. He is a man who also knows football, having assisted in coaching at Indiana University. Mr. France Conter, your as- sistance is appreciated and only you can reap the pleasures duo you and all we can say is We thank you and will always be a friend to you and we liope you may lontinue your good work as it is a great help to high scliool alhletics. Yea, Conter Y ' ea! Class of ' 22. IFnVEJL,IJ G-S. COACH A. G. ■■TOMMY MOORE Kind readers, patient reaiiers at this particular moment alio v us to eulogize one who is dear to us in many respects. In other words allow us to say a few things pertaining to our small but mighty Coach A. G. ■ ' Tommy Moore. Mr. Moore came to us as a sunbeam out o( a dreary day last fall tor the sole purpose of put- ting D. H. S. on the Athletic Map. He immediately proceeded tn whip a football team into shape. People all du. ' ing the season said Mr. Moore ' s coachin.g was spectacular as well as e. traordinar . Although not having as successful a season as possible, we place Hard Luck and inexperience as the main drawbacks, never the less the love for this redblooded American boy ' s game was in- stilled into the hearts and souls of many D. H. S. boys, and may this love continue to live when the game of football applies, which is under the capable superintendency of Mr. Moore. Mr. Moors came from a T ' niversity of Athletics and has coached at many high schools throughout the state. -Alay wc turn our eyes toward the Basket Ball season. D. H. S. won honoi ' s this year that were never attained before by the old Alma ilater. D. H. .S. also very easily downed old victims such as Fort Wayne. Bluffton. Jlonroe and Kendallville. Folks, many may say this is due to luck hut the upri.eht man will not hesitate to say that the power behinil the team and the spirit of it all was Mr. A. n. Moore, the coach. Mr. Moore is at present coaching traik and we are safe in saying that he will hold his own and capture his share of the honors. Jlr. A. G. Moore has awakened an athletic spirit that will exist through the ages and we are deeply indebted to him and the satisfactions of a VICTORY are felt only by him. Yea! D. H. S. Let ' s go! With such a man as pilot, you must succeed. GIRLS BASKETBALL TEAM JF jv i ijsz S. GIRLS ' ATHLETICS Our Basket Ball siil; , the State Champions of last season flfi2ii- ' 22 ) had high aspirations ot winning every game this year. The fait that they suffered ony one defeat in three years gave them still more hope of accomplishing this. They started out with every girl out to practice every night until their first game Xovemlier 21, which was played on the home floor with Kirkland. The game ended 29-14 in favor of the locaW and this, of course, made them all the more determined to win the rest. In every game they worked very hard and always managed to he on the top at the hnal whistle. They have won every game and are to he congratulated upon their good work throughout the year, not only in the result they obtained hut also tor the friendly man- ner and clean sportsmanship which they showed. D. H. S. is very proud of this team and surely hates to see three of its regular members and two subs leave this year with the class of ' 22. They are: Melvena Butler, Captain.

BASKETBALL The liciy ' s B. I!, seascm was surely a most successful one this year, due to .Mr. .Moore ' s efficient coaching and the unusual ability of the boy ' s for playing. Decatur won the District Tournament — the first time in it ' s history Surely this is a great honor. Next year with such a .good place to play — the new gym — D. H.

Here ' s wishing you luck, and plenty of it, you next vear ' s athletes. F JVE7L IJSZ S. CHAPEL NOTES The chapel hour has always been looked f orward to as the period for a jolly good time. The chapel programs have been especially interesting this year tor several reasons. First, the teachers were always on deck with plenty of good suggestions and good material; second, the pupils were very willing to help entertain, and many showed real ability; third, the townspeople were so willing to contribute their time and their talents to help us along. We greatly appreciate their kindness and interest, and are better because they have been with us. September .5, was a very exciting day for the new principal and the teachers, both the new ones and those who had lieen with us before, were introduced. September 9, ilr. Worthman talked to us on Will It Pay Me to Continue My High School Life. ' September 16. Mr. Cline talked to the pupils aliout The Ne- cessity of Doing the Little Things Right. September 23. Mr. Quinn talked on the sub.iect He Best Serves Who Works Best. [). L. Vance told a wonderful story with a October 14. .Mr. ( moral lesson. Mr. Lutz favored Cheerfulness. November 11. a good prosram of Armistice Day. with a delightful talk on the Art of given in commemoratic Mr. Walters gave a very interesting lee ture concerning Com- mon Sense. December 6. Rev. Saunders gave his farewell address. Dr. Boyers talked to the boys and girls in the interest ot nurse ' s campaign. Mrs. Holthouse entertained us by singing some very beauti- ful songs. Miss Virgene Smith delighted us with two selections she read. The Pul)lic Speaking Class gave a very clever play that was full of laughs for everyone. April 28. Miss Tyner gave the story of the life of Ulyses S. Grant in a very pleasing way. The Cirl ' s Glee Club has furnished good mu. ic many times this year. The High School Orchestra also delighted us with its won- derful playing. It is only possible to give brief mention of the many good things we have en.toyed this year, and to really enjoy them yoa must be there in person. Next year we hope that the Decatur people will be able to enjoy the Chapel period with the pupils in the new auditorium that is to be built. Durini; the second semester literary sections were organized for the purpose of training the boys and girls to debate and to make a good appearance before an audience. Many good pro- grams were given and we feel they served their purpose. 9 d WT ] c □ FD u out. F nvEji ij G-S, Our Exchange Departmeut this year has been very interesting and helpful.

Miss Harriett Meyers was a hostess ot a Sophomore party given at her home November 25, 1921. The Sophs enjoyed a good time and at a late hour delicious refreshments were servea. The .lunicirs wanted to share these but the Sophs couldn ' t be liothered. The Sophomore girls gave a Valentine party for the Sophomore boys at the home of Jestine Hocker, Monday evening. February 12, 1922. The house was beautifully decorated in red and white repe paper and hearts were strung about the room. After the refreshments were served all departed saying they had en.ioyed a wonderful time. The Sophomore boys, to show their appreciation feu- the par ' y the girls gave for them, gave a party Friday evening, April IT, 1922 at the Masonic Hall for the girls. Games and dancing we-e the main features ot the evening. Punch and wafers were served. On Friday. October l. ' ;. 1921, the Juniors had their first party which was a weiner roast on the Lutz faiun. The girls hiked out vhile the boys rode in machines and had the fires started and everything prepared for the big time. They played .games ii: work up an appetite. I Can you imagine the .Juniors without an appetite.) After the Eats they returned home tired but happy. November IGth the Junior girls entertained for the .lunior boys at a dinner party at the home of Katy Dorwin. The gir ' .s kept the boys guessing as to where the party was until they all met at seven o ' clock at Katy ' s home for the feed. It shure was a scrumptuous one. There was fruit cocktail and wafers, ( reamed chicken, mashed and sweet potatoes, baked beans, picdiles, olives, cranberry sauce, rolls, salad and individual pumpkin pie with whipped cream.

The night of February 3, 1922. the Junior boys gave a dance in honor of the Junior girls at the Masonic Hall. The Paramount oi ' chestra furnished the music. Light refreshments were served and an enjoyable time was had by all who attended. A delightfu l class party in the form of a weiner roast was en- joyed by the Senior class Friday night, October 14th, 1921. They were taken out to the home of Margaret Christen in machines. There a large fire was started and soon the delicious smell ot roasted weiners and fried eggs filled the air; dill and sweet pickles and roasted marshmallows completed the menu. After the feed the Seniors made use of the spacious yard in ?nVEJIL,IJSZG-S. front of the Christen home by playing out-door games. Later ca Margaret asked us into the house and a regular party was en- joyed there. Singing, dancing and various stunts were the fea- tures. But the hit of evening was a beautiful vocal duet given by the distinguished president. Lawrence I inn and the custodian. Harry Yahne. Admiration and awe held the guests spellbound for a minute after it was finished but when they recovered th whole room rang with applause. After singing D. H. S. and giving fifteen rahs for the Christens the party disbursed. Did the Seniors have a good time last St. Patrick ' s Day ' . ' Well. I say they did. The day w-as celebrated by a party given at the country home of Alfred Beavers. The Seniors met at the Sut- tles ' and Avere conveyed to Ireland in machines. The lunch was a regular Irish one and all liked the idea of being Irish just for the nite. The Kid party at Harry Christy ' s home and several other occasions of festivities will lonsr be rememhliered by the ' digni- fied ' Seniors. The Senior girls of D. H. S. assisted by Jliss Howard, their guardian, gave a delightful Halloween party at the home of Chuckles Suttles on Fifth Street. The rooms were artistically decorated in keeping with the season, cornstalks, oakleaves, pump- kin faces, and black cats added to the beauty of the party. All came dressed in fancy costumes, varying from the beauti- fully and cleverl.v designed to the most ridiculous and fun-provok- ing ones. Atterthey had .given the password they unmasked and were invited into the spacious dining-room to find their places at two long tables where covers were laid for about forty, including our teachers and : Irs. Worthman. Each found her ghostly plao- card liearing her nick name. A delectable three course dinner was served. It consisted of fruit cocktail, chicken, scalloped corn, liaked Ijeans. sweet and Irish potatoes, pickles, olives, pocketbook rolls, coffee, pumpkin pie with whipped cream, cherry pie. candy and plenty of all. Between courses a number of conundrums were the cause of much merriment. The teachers gave interesting descriptions of plays and told of their thrilling experiences. Dancing and fortune- telling were also features of the evening. When all were ready to leave, a rousing cheer was given in appreciation of the Suttles ' hospitality. On Wednesday evening. October 19, 1921, a six o ' clock dinner was given by the Senior boys at the home of their honoralde presi- dent, Lawrence Linn. The affair was a brilliant om- and everyone enjoyed himself to the utmost. A two course dinner was the main object. Among the talde decorations besides the crockery and place-cards were spring chicken, fried a delicious brown: the kind of potatoes yor.r mother used to make, trimmed in scrumptuous brown gravy: then came in scalloped oysters, which were fit for a king; up from the end of the table walked the olives and celery, which accessories never to be forgotten — even the bananas and oranges camped in the middle envied their many delicious neighbors: the cherry cock- tail and dressed lettuce, the coffee and tea all went to make this ' some ' meal. French pastry, Jello with whipped cream and wal- nuts, three kinds of pie and tooth picks made up the second course. After the Eats came an outburst of song which didn ' t last long as someone ssu.ggested a ride, and a ride it was— .Monroe, Berne, ?nvEji ii G-S.
