• « « w m Ravelings 1930 Published by Senior Class of Decatur High School Decatur, Indiana FOREWORD To uphold the tradition of our school by flying a clean straight course through life, looking for the newer and higher things of life. DEDICATION To you, our mothers and fathers, who have made our graduation possible, we dedicate the Ravelings of 1930. A birdseye view of what we do and did in years gone by Each today becomes our yesterday the higher that we fly Higher, higher — faster, faster — up through the years go In the plane of life until we see a birdseye view below. Each little thing has a different slant and doesn ' t seem the same. Life takes on new meaning in a speeding lifeoplane. But dear old school you ' ll always be a poignant memory You ' ll stir my heart — I ' ll think of you — wherever I may be. So let this book — -I beg of you — be always near my eye. As a birdseye view in grand review of old Decatur High.

WORTHMAN, Superintendent Seniors, Commencement Seasons , present to you addi- tional problems for solution. As a bit of parting advice per- mit me to give you one more suggestion. Josh Billings says, There are just two kinds of people — those who can make up their minds and those who can not make up their minds. Please choose to be in the former class. First, check your endeavor and if it is correct, push it forward. The student who does his work without waiting for reinforcements is the one who conquers. George Eliot says: No great deed was ever done by falterers, who ask for certainity. You take the initiative ; decide quickly and then work. There is no grander sight in the world than to see a group of young people fired with a great purpose, dominated by one unwavering aim. Let obstacles and scattered pitfalls be considered stepping stones. Best wishes, M. F. WORTHMAN. Ten. WALTER J, KRICK, Principal Class of 1930: You are about to complete your high school education and start in pursuit of some honorable vocation for life ' s work. Your ability to advance depends largely on what and how you have trained yourself to think. A man mu.st be a student of his occupation. He must possess all of the available knowledge about one thing and a little knowledge about everything. Con- tinue to grow mentally and keep life around the things you like to do. When an opporunity knocks for advancement, accept it ; for the older you become the less opportunity knocks. Regardless of what may confront you keep up the desire to win and this will do much to make opportunity come your way. Yours for Success, WALTER J. KRICK. Kleven. — RAVELINGS R. A.

Life is just a picture, hung in light Or shade And our hand must hang it, steady, unafraid. In that endless gallery lined with works of men, Where will be our corner at the jour- neys ' end?

BYFORD MACY We love to call her just Angle. She is the bookkeeper to the Decatur School Board and Superintendent M. F. Worthman. She renders efficient service tor the board, teachers, and students. Angle ' s willing cooper- ative spirit makes her a very popular secretary. MRS. BYFORT MACY HELEN CHRISTEN Helen Christen has been our school librarian for the past two years. Miss Christen is very efficient in her work of helping the students finding their outside readings and references. She possesses a courteous, refined spirit and is liked by all the students. In addition to her library duties she has an assembly and keeps the attendance record. Miss Christen is one of our former graduates. HELEN CHRISTEN Seventeen. — RAVELINGS TO THE SENIOR I take off my hat to the Senior folk Their praises aloud do I sing To the boys and girls who are marching forward To receive their diplomas this spring. Yours is the bloon of youth untried And a future in long pleasant years On a meadow of life that is still fresh and green Unsullied by sorrows and tears. You have come to the edge of the Meadow of Life And have scaled the high school bars Keep your feet on the pa th that is sunny and bright And at night turn your gaze to the stars. At times comes the storms on your journey And your sky is cloud-covered at night But hold the torch of your youth ever high overhead To guide you afar with its light. Farewell and good luck to the Seniors On this journey of life you will roam Pluck wisely the flowers from the meadow of life And bring your treasures back home. Eighteen.

A tew weeks later we had our first class meeting at which time the following officers were elected: President, Gaynell Graber; vice-president, Dorothy Christen; secretary, Stanley Green; treasurer, David Heller. Miss Michaud was chosen class guardian. On October 31 the first party was held. It was in the form of a Hallowe ' en party and proved interesting to every one. At the beginning of the second semester new class officers were elected as follows: President, Madgeline Miller; vice-president, Dorothy Christen; secretary, Marie Kolter; treasurer, David Heller. Miss Michaud was again chosen guardian. The Kreshies ' enjoyed several parties during the second semester. Chapter II. In September of the year 1927 we assumed the title of Sophomores. We began to feel important. A class meeting was held and the following officers were elected for the year: President, Carl Gerber; vice-president, Gaynell Graber; secretary, Gladys Teems; treasurer, Beruiece De Voss. Miss Michaud was chosen guardian. The sophomores were well represented in athletics by Carl Gerber, Harold Shoaf, Chapter III. The Junior year opened with a great deal of enthusiasm because we could now be rightfully called upper classmen and we were ready to do big things. At the beginning of the school year the following officers were elected: President. Russel Jaberg; vice-president, Stanley Green; secretary, Kathryn Fritzinger; treasurer, Dorothy Christen. We were again represented in the various sports by George Roop, Stanley Green. Ivan Reynolds, Harry Hjebble, Dick Engle, Harold Shoaf, Carl Gerber, Robert Shraluka. Glenn Manlier and Rolland Ladd. The class play, a three-act comedy entitled, The White Elephant, was given March 20-21. Miss Whalen, our class guardian, successfully coached the play, and helped us to derive enough monev to give an excellent Junior-Senior reception. Chapter IV. On September 3, 1929, the class of ' 30 entered D. H. S. for the last year. A few weeks later we had a class meeting and elected the following officers to guide us through our last year: President, Robert Shraluka; vice-president, Carl Gerber; secre- tary, Anne Winnes; treasurer, Dorothy Christen, and Miss McCrory, guardian. The senior class sponsored the Redpath Lyceumc ourse which gave four fine pro- grams throughout the year that were ' enteitaining, as well as educational, to the large number that attended them. On December 20. the seniors had charge of the Christmas program. Santa appear- ed and distributed gifts among the teachers and pupils. The class play, entitled Climbing Roses , was given on February 29-30. The play was a huge success and enabled us to give a fine Senior reception. On April 11, the Seniors honored Mr. Worthman with a fine dinner party at the Rice Hotel. The party was on the occasion of Mr. Worthman ' s birthday. Robert Shraluka, class president, gave a talk on behalf of the class extending to Mr. Worth- man their best wishes for happiness and success. We were well represented in athletics by Carl Gerber, Harry Hebble, Dick Engle, Ivan Reynolds, Robert Shraluka, Harold Shoaf, Stanley Green, Glenn MauUer and Rolland Ladd. Carl Gerber has been a varsity man during all four years of his high school career and it will be mighty hard to find an athlete to fill his place on future Yellow Jacket teams. We were also represented in girls athletics by Marie Kolter, Martha Noll, Cleo Werling, Kathryn Fritzinger, Berniece DeVoss, Isabel Baumgartner and Anne Winnes. And now as we, the class of 1930, are about to say good-bye; we realize that we have only finished the foundation upon which that great ladder of success m ay be set and as we climb up that ladder round by round, step by step, we shall never lose sight of or forget those days spent at D. H. S. Adieu! Twenty-seven. — RAVELINGS SENIOR CLASS WILL We, the members of tlie Senior class of 1930, do hereby and herein will and be- queath our dignified and honorary positions in D. H.

Students of Decatur High School: As I have just a few minutes before I leave for Mexico, I want to drop you a few lines to tell you of the very unusual experience 1 had yesterday. I found every member of the Senior Class of 1930 here in Hollywood. . I was walk- ing down the street the other day gazing at the many interesting sights when my eyea fell upon a beautiful building encircled by a high s:lver fence with a golden gate. I noticedia gallant looking man clothed in a magniticent uniform standing by the gate. Upon observing him more closely, I felt as though 1 knew the man. Suddenly I realized that the man was Harry Hebble. In my haste to get closer to Harry so as to talk to him, I lost my brief case. (Since my memory is rather poor, I can ' t remember what I was selling without my brief case which had my samples in it). Hello, Harry, I said, as I came within speaking dsitance. Not even noticing me Harry said, Move on please. We don ' t allow loafers here. But Harry, I said, Do n ' t you know me? Harry turned around, and I wish you could have seen the look of surprise on his face when he saw me. Smiling all over he said, What in heck are you doing here? Whereupon 1 replied, I don ' t know. What are you doing? Then Harry explained to me that Mr. Worthman and Miss McCrory had taken the money that the Senior Class of ' 30 made on their Lyceum course and started into the movieb usiness, and that they had hired all the Senior Class but one to work for them. He also explained that they had hired the actors in alphabetical order and since my name came last, they had run out of positions before they came to mine. I asked if I might see the studios. Harry pushed a button, and the huge golden gate swung slowly open. We walked inside and he pushed another button. Suddenly a small electric street car came to a stop in front of us. This car, said Harry, w:ll take you to the executive offices. I boarded the car and almost fell over when I noticed that the motorman was Harold Murphy. He didn ' t recognize me and I remembered that we had been on the outs isince 1927 when we were Freshmen, and so 1 didn ' t bother to introduce myself. (Just think what a treat he missed by not recognizing me.) As the car came to a stop in front of a building which I thought was the office, I slipped off the car and started for the door. In my haste I stumbled over a tricycle. (I later learned that it belonged to Carl Gerber). When I regained consciousness, I found that I was in the office of Dr. Ronald Parrish, studio physician. I was under the care of Mrs. Parrish, formerly Miss Berniece DeVoss, daughter of a well-known Decatur lawyer. The doctor said that I was suffering from a severe case of sinanitlcitius but that I was in no danger as long as I didn ' t eat any of his wife ' s cooking. After assur- ing Dr. Parrish that I would take every precaution to safeguard my health, he ushered me from the studio hospital and once again I started for the office. Disregarding the Private sign on the door, I walked in and found Miss McCrory pondering over a little column of figures. (It seems that her arithmetic is getting no better), and Mr. Worth- man was enjoying a new edition of College Humor. I surely got a warm reception and both Miss McCrory and Mr. Worthman assured me that the whole studio was mine as long as I remained. Just then David Heller stuck his head through the door and announced that director Stanley Green was ready to shoot a scene, the first of the new picture When Father Was a Boy. We walked over to the seat where the picture was to be made. Bob Shraluka was Thirty. RAVELINGS — busy cranking his Ford. Beg pardon, I mean lie was cranking tlie camera. We watched the procedure for some t: ' me, during whicli I recognized nearly all of my old class- mates. First we saw Alice Lake and Chalmer Fisher in a dramatic and gripping love scene. In a show window we saw Dick Engle demonstrat ' .ng the comfort of Sleep- Better-Beds. (He was peacefully sleeping as usual). As Dick slumbered he held close to his heart a picture of the Old Adams County Court House. Jerome Mylott, better known as Hocky was selling Eskimo Pies to a bunch of Eskimos who seemed very Interested ' n what he was telling th;m. Next we saw Carl Gerber in a show-window of a grocery store demonstrating how delicious the cakes were that had been baked with Aunt Isabelle ' s Cake Flour . You should have seen the bunch of girls that were watching him. As the scene shifted we found Marcia Martin in a circus side show as The Living Skeleton. Ne.xt we found Clay Hall laborng in a Ford Garage. He was installing radios on the Fords. (So that they can get out of town.) Then we found Dora Shosenberger, Mary Mcintosh, Erna Lankenau, and Cathryn Fritzinger as head nurses in a hospital for distracted dog; and cats. (The poor animals seemed to be in great misery.) Then came the end of scene one. Two big tough men came forward to shift the scenery. They were Ivan Heare and Bob Work ' nger. The next scene was in the country. First we saw John Newhard traveling from farm to farm selling his book (latest edition) Productive and Deductive Farming. In the distance we saw a group of artists under a tree painting a picture of an Old Crow (bondsd). On closer observ- ance we found them to be Gladys Whitwright, Pauline Shoe, Isabel Odle, Martha Noll, Cleo Light, and Martha Moser. A bit farther we find Rolland Ladd under a spread ng chestnut tree — sleeping. On and on the scene traveled and we saw many different things of interest and some- not so interesting. Harold Strickler and Anne Winnes are singing in a big time vaudeville. Cleo Werling has formed an independent girls basketball team that plays only teams from feeble m: ' nded institutions. Doris Nelson and Clara Ellen Mumma have established a chain of cut-rate libraries. Madgeline Miller and Glenn Mauller have formed an acrobatic company and are playing all the county fairs. Wilson Mann, Edgar Krueckeberg, and Marie Kolter are still working their way through college by malting tables in a Chinese restauran t. Rudloph Kiess, Nell ' e Johnson, Josephine Hill, Vearl Heller, Louise Gage, and Paul Frosh have formed a band of gypsies and are doing a rushing fortune telling business. Growing j-ather tired of the monotony o! the picture I pulled the morning paper out of my pocket and started to read the funny paper, but the first thing which my eyes fell upon was a new article telling that after eight years of work, Russel Jabevg, A.B., M. D., D.D., D.D.S., et cetera, had figured out what would happen ifa n irresist- able force meets an immovable object. I also read that Cleora Baker, Arl ' ne Becker, and Isabelle Baumgartner, The Three Bees, were to appear at a down town theatre that evening. Rosamond Gould, Helen Colchin, and Goldie Chapman have become Salvation Army Lassies, and are taking collections in HoUywoodt his week. Another ad in the paper said, It your glasses need rims, bring them in. We ' ll rim you. Signed Kathryn Archbold, Catherine Andrews, and Dorothy Christen. Then the work for the day was over and every one departed. Feeling that I have been cheated by not getting a position in the movie company, I am going to Mexico and become president so that someone will shoot me. Sincerely yours, FOREST ZIMMERMAN.

RAVELINGS Esther Sundermann, President JIXIOH ri.ASS Ruth Macklin, Vice-President ' FICEUS James Burlt, Secretary Harold Melchi, Treasurer JUNIOR RFXEPTION Friday the 23rcl of May, 1930, will long be remembered by the Seniors of Decatur High School, because it mai-ked the close of their High School career; and because of their contacts with their fellow students, they went forth into the world better for their experiences. The reception was a gala affair, thoroughly enjoyed by all. A delicious dinner was served by the Sophomores. The people who gave their services were: Helen DeVor, Wilma Case, Mary Coverdale, Laura Laukenau, Olive Teeter, Louise Haubold, Robert Brown, Dick Odle, Carl Buffenbarger, Roland Reppert, Robert Gay and George Helm. The decorating committee fulfilled its duties to such an extent that it might well be said that part of the success of the affair rested upon the decorations. The reception room certainly presented a pleasing appearance. Much honor and praise is due to Mr. Kidd, the Junior class guardian, whose efficient guidance helped the Juniors make the affair a great success. The feature of the evening was speeches from the presidents of the Senior and Junior classes. Robert Shraluka, Senior class president, and Ruth Macklin, on behalf of the Junior class, favored the assembled gathering with short talks. M. E. Mower, a member of the School Board, to whom the school owes so much gratitude, also gave an interesting talk. Mr. Richards, speaking for the faculty, sent the Seniors out into the world prepared for the troubles which they are bound to meet. The American public, as a rule, likes to reserve the best for the last. We, the students of Decatur High School, are no exception to this rule. Therefore, we saved Mr. Worthman, our Superintendent, for the final speaker. His address was enjoyed by all and gave the Seniors an add ed zest to go forth into the world and make names for themselves. The entertainment committee then took charge of the reception and furnished a very delightful program. The reception was a thoroughly successful affair and the Juniors hope that the Seniors will carry the memory of it throughout the days and will look back upon it as their most pleasant High School affair.

RAVELINGS JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY Chapter I. On September 6, 1927, fifty very green, yet dignified Freslimen entered Decatur High School. They were: Raymond Baker, Adela Blalcey, Rosa Blakey, Nora Bleeke, Ida Bienz, Fred Brown, Keith Brown, James Burke, Maynard Butcher, Bernice Closs, Donald Cook, Inez Cook, Mary Engle, Georgia Foughty, Paul Handier, Raymond Heller, Robert Hesher, Mary Hower, Marcile Johnson, Margaret Kitson, Helen Koos, Sherman Koos, Emma Krueckeberg, Mary Jane Kunkle, Ruth Macklin, Margaret Martin, Doris McBarnes, Harold Melchi, Perth Mitch, Ralph Myers, Mary Murphy, Lulu Ogg, Ray Osterman, Albert Peltz, Chalmer Reber, Edwin Reinking, Arthur Schamerloh, LaVere Shoat, Cecil Schaffer, Luther Singleton, Veda Smith, Richard Steele, Dorothy Stevens, Jesse Sutton, Gladys Thompson, Richard Ricker, Gretchen Winans, Dorothy Young, and Wayne Zerkle. After all the other classes had held their meetings, of course, our turn came. We were called into 202 by Principal Walter J. Krick. We were all very nervous at first, this being our first experience of this kind. After we had listened to the ' terrifying voice of Mr. Krick for a while, we at last left the room, having chosen the following as class officers: Arthur Schamerloh, president; Russel Jaberg, vice-president; James Engeler, secretary; Wayne Zerkel, treasurer. Miss Clark was chosen guardian. The class flower was the rose and the colors, crimson and gray. Our class motto was The Door to Success is Labeled ' Push ' . The Freshmen had as their representatives in athletics Debolt, Engeler, Brown, and Zerkel in basketball and Debolt, Butcher, Brown, and Heller in football. We were also well represented in scholastic standing. We held our class parties in the gym. After a very eventful year we closed the first chapter of our book of High School Days and bestowed our title freshies upon the new Freshman class ' . Chapter II. We now turn to chapter two of our great book and there we find, that after dis- carding the title of greenies and giving up our green ways, we had at last been classed with the upper classmen as Sophomores. At our first class meeting the follow- ing officers were chosen: Monte LeBrun, president; James Burk, vice-president; Esther Sunderman, secretary; Ed Musser, treasurer. Due to the fact that the president left us and went to Monroe we were without one during the second semester. Mr. Kidd was chosen guardian. Two parties in which all the classes ' participated were given at the Masonic Hall. We were represented this year in the various sports by Musser, Brown, Debolt, and Schnepp in football, and Debolt, and Schnepp in basketball As Sophomores we were very well represented on the honor roll also. Chapter III. At the beginning of our Junior year a class meeting was held and the following officers were chosen: Esther Sunderman, president; Ruth Macklin, vice-president; James Burke, secretary; Harold Melchi, treasurer. Mr. Max Kidd was again chosen guardian. A party tor all the classes was given at the Masonic Hall. We were very well represented in all activities this year. In sports we had Debolt, Schnepp, Zerkel, Hin, Steele, Engeler, Brown, and Snedeker in basketball. On the Lady Yellow Jacket team we were represented by Bernadine Schraluka, who was captain of the team, and by Ruth Macklin, star forward, and Margaret Kitson. Ruth Roop was trainer for the girls team, and Pat Coffee for the boys team. Ruth Macklin was chosen yell leader at a meeting of the Pep Champs. On the debating team we had Paul Hancher and Gladys Thompson. On the Ravelings Staff we were represented by Ruth Macklin, James Burke, and Bernadine Shraluka. At the meeting of the class we were forced to accept the resignation of our presi- dent, who graduated with the Senior Class. The Junior class play Anne What ' s Her Name was chosen and under the able direction of Miss Whalen was successfully given before capacity crowds on April 10 and 11. The proceeds went towards the annual Junior-Senior reception. The reception was given at the Country Club on May 23. At the reception James Burke was toastmaster, Robert Shraluka speaker for the Seniors, Ruth Macklin for the Juniors, Mr. Hower for the school board, and Mr. Richards for the Faculty. Mr. Worthman also gave a fine speech. As Juniors we decided to sponsor the lyceum course in our Senior year. We hope to do big things as Seniors and accomplish much for our benefit and also for the schooi. Thlrty-slx. RAVELINGS SOPHOMORE CLASS OFFICERS Olive Teeter, Fred Musser, Helen DeVor President Vice-President Secretary Laura Lankenau Treasurer Since first embarking upon tlie Great High Scliool Seas in 192S the good ship 1932 has been sailing surely and with steady keys toward that yet far distant port, Gradu- ation. The seas have not always been calm and serene. Once when passing through the rough and stormy Straits of History, several poor passengers were swept over- board and lost. The shoals in the Gulf of Latin took its toll, as did the wind-swept stretches of the bleak Sea of English. Upon many occasions deep despair and utter hopelessness were plainly written upon the youthful faces of the passengers, as well as on the storm-beaten countenances of the Chief Helmsmen, who attempted to steer the ship to smooth and serene waters, but some staunch seaman would strike up a cheering sea-chanty and the gloom and dangers were soon left disappearing in the misty horizon behind. Upon other occasions the barnacles of laziness and indisposition would fasten themselves tenaciously on the sides of the ship and greatly retard its progress. With sharp, keen instruments these growths were cut and scraped away and the good ship fairly flew over the water in the enthusiasm of its freedom from such deadening obstacles. Once or twice there have been mutinous whisperings amongst the crew when some Chief Helmsmen became too tyrannical, but for the greater part of th voyage there has been a cooperative and happy spirit between those in authority and the jack tars. May the two rema ning stages of the voyage offer nothing but clear and sunny skies, serene seas, joyful times on deck, and rich cargoes of the worthwhile produce of life! COLORS— Blue and Maize.

In the fall of 1928 the Freshman Class started its eventful voyage on the Sea of Books In D. H. S. Unlike all previous Freshman, we did not enter D. H. S. in a cring- ing manner, but strode into the awful presence of the Seniors, with a bold air and a very decided manner wliich showed that we had come to make our presence felt. After entering the ship, the eighty-two Freshmen organized and elected the follow- ing officers: Ina Anderson, president; Mary Coverdale, vice-president; Kobert Brown, secretary; and Ethel Shady, treasurer. Miss Clark was elected Captain of the ship. During the year we were well represented in scholarship and athletics, leading D. H. S. in scholarship. In the latter part of the voyage, the lower classmen gave a farewell party for the Seniors. Chapter II. The fall of 1929 found us continuing our voyage as: Sophomores hoping to reach Port Graduation in the next two years after faithful sailing on the Sea of Books. After entering the ship, we organized and elected Olive Teeter, president; Fred Musser, vice-president; Helen DeVor, secretary, and Laura Lankenau, treasurer. We elected Mr. Richards Captain oft he ship. Our voyage as Sophomores was excellent in regard to scholarship and athletics. In scholarship, we were represented by Ina Anderson, Margaret Blakey, Mary Cover- dale, Elizabeth Frisinger, Lydia Lehrman, Ival Newhard, Sylvia Ruhl, Louise Haubold, Olive Teeter, and Woodrow Wilson. In atliletics we were represented by Charles Busse, Dick Odle, Richard Parrish, Carl Hurst, and Otis Baker, in football; Marcella Brandy- berry, Ina Anderson, Mary Coverdale, and Olive Teeter in basketball. At the High School party which took place Febiiiary 7, the Sophomores presented a clever act called The Old Family Album. While the pictures of the wedding group, the baby, Uncle Ben and Aunt Matilda were shown, Otis Baker and Harold Mumma sang a duet. In reviewing our past voyage, we can say that D. H. S. has felt the strong uplift of our prsence. Through our efforts we have won credit and honor in all school activities. With pl easure we review the past voyage, with hope we look forward to our future sailing, trusting that wherever our lot may be cast, we may be an honor to our good ship D. H. S. Forty. RAVELINGS — Carl Buffenbarj President FKKSHMAX CLASS lloland Iteppert Vice President OFFICERS Hugh Engle Secretary Hubert Stultz Treasurer FRESHMAN CLASS HISTORY On September 1, 1929, fifty-nine of us entered Decatur High School to continue oui- liigher education. We were the usual verdant Freshies getting Into wrong rooms, stumbling over our own feet, and smiling feebly at some dignified Senior thinking that she was a new member of the faculty. However at mid-year we felt better for we were a half year more advanced than the twenty Freshmen who had just entered. After the upperclassmen had selected their officers we were permittd to choos? ours. We selected Carl Buffenbarger, president; Roland Reppert. vice-president; Hugh Engle, secretary; Hubert Stultz. treasurer; and Miss Lewton, class guardian. Silver and orchid were selected as class colors and the pansy as the class flower. With our new motto in mind, They can, who think they can, we started out to make a brilliant name for our class. We think we have succeeded tor we have been highly honored to have two of our girls, Eileen Burk and Kathryn Hower, lead our high honor roll twice. Others who were placed on the honor roll at least once were: Minnie Moyer, Dorothy Little, Crystal McKinley, R ' chard Sutton, Mary Grace Zimmerman, Mary Catherine Toney, Theodore Sovine, Sara Jane Kauffman, Mary Maxine Brown, and Maxine Manley. We were also honored by having three members of our class, Carl Buffenbarger, Vernon Hill, and Marion Feasel on the second basketball team. After a year of hard work, we hope that next year we shall be Sophomores. Then, we too may take on the air of upperclassmen and leave the name of greenie for others entering D. H. S. for the first time. FLOWER— Pansy. COLORS— Silver and Orchid. MOTTO— They can, who think they can.

After being outplayed by the Yellow Jackets in the first three periods of the game, the Alumni opened a passing attack and Briener snagged one of Bell ' s passes over the goal line for the only touchdown of the game. The point after touchdown failed and the Jackets were defeated 6-0. Twice during the game the Yel low Jackets had the ball in scoring territory, once on the Alumni 3-yard line and once on their 10-yard line, but they were stopped both times by the timekeeper ' s gun. Even though defeated the Yellow Jackets made a fine showing against their heavier and more experienced opponentsi. On the week following the Alumni game the Yellow Jackets met Auburn at the Country Club field and were de- feated 23-0. The Jackets outplayed Auburn in the first ten minutes of the game but a sudden fumble seem- ed to dishearten them and Auburn soon scored a safety and two touch- downs in the second quarter. In the second half Auburn continued their drive. Their speedy backs ripped off some long runs and soon had scored a touchdown and a drop kick. Debolt, Brown, and Hain played best for De- catur. In the first half Hain inter- cepted a pass and ran 40 yards into Auburn territory. After the Auburn game Decatur de- feated Columbia City 30-13 at the Country Club Field. It was the first victory in two years for the local eleven. Led by Simmie Hain, who scored three touchdowns, the Jackets scored a touchdown in the first three minutes of the gan e and continued to do so through the remainder of the game. The Jacket ' s ' line seemed much stronger than in the two pre- vious games, the linemen opened large holes for the backfield men to go galloping through. They also broke through the opponent ' s line and tackled their runners in their tracks. Debolt and Roop scored Decatur ' s other points. Early in the game De- bolt broke through the opponents line for a touchdown, and Roop caught a blocked punt and raced down the side of the field for another counter. Cap- tain Gerber playd a stellar game at end where he had been shifted from fullback. Ltn ' i ' is Lri-TiOKEi; HAROLD MELCHI EDWARD MUSSBR RICHARD PARRISH Forty -SIX.

After being outplayed most of the second half Br,van rec )vered two Decatur fumbles near the goal line and converted them into touchdowns. The Decatur line played good football but the back- field ' s playing was not up to that of previous games. The Yellow Jackets then journeyed to Port Wayne and were defeated by the North Side Redskins 37-13. Harry Leeper, stellar North Side halfback, shook off several would-be Decatur tacklers and galloped 70 yards and 72 yards for touchdowns. The rest of the Redskin backfield also did its part. Barley scored late in the first quarter and again in the second quart- er. Miskel, North Side fullback, also scored two touchdowns. Debolt play- ed best for Decatur. He scored in the second quarter and again carried the ball over just as the gun ended the game. Facing one of the strongest teams in the state, the Yellow Jackets bow- ed to Fort Wayne Central there by the score of 46-0. The Jackets fought hard throughout the game and kept Central ' s score down the lowest so far th ' s season. The Yellow Jackets played the Tigers on fairly even terms the first half and as the half ended the Tigers were leading 18-0. Coach Mendenhall sent in a fresh team in the second half and they soon ran up the score. After a severe shake-up in the line- up the Yellow Jackets lost on a muddy gridiron at Portland to the Portland Panthers 20-0. The Kiddmen showed considerable offensive power in the first half. Twice they carried the ball into scorng territory only to lose it before crossing the goal line. Port- land led at the half S-0 by scoring a touchdown and a safety. ' The Jackets failed to get together in tbe second half and Portland scored twi) more touchdowns across the Decatur goal line. In the next game of the season the Yellow Jackets lost to their ancient rivals the Bluffton Tigers at the Country Club field here S-7. It was a great game full of thrills from the Forty-seven.

Roop, Hain, Green, Engle, and Reynolds, Jacket backfield men toi p through the Bluffton team time after time for large gains only to have many of them called back. During the first quarter Bluffton scored a touchdown on a pass from Pyle to Myers. The point after the touch- down failed. The Kiddmen autplay- ed the Tigers in the second quavt?! and as the half ended had the ball on the Tiger 4-yard line with tour downs to carry the ball over. After an ex- change of punts Bluffton had the ball in midfisld. A pass was intercepted by Debolt, who raced 45 yards for a touchdown. Hain hit the center of the line and took the ball over for the point after touchdown and gave De- catur the lead 7-6. Early in the fourth quarter with the ball on the 12-ya-d l:ne Roop got off a beautiful punt to the Bluffton 32-yard line. The referee b; -ought the ball back and penalized Decatur for holding. On the next play the lin ; weakened and Roop ' s punt was blocked. The ball went beh.nd the Jacket ' s goal line and the rsferes announced a safety for Bluffton, mak- ing the score S-7 in Bluff to. I ' s favor. This failed to check the Yellow Jac- ket si and after an exchange of punts Decatur carried the ball to the 7-yard line due to several long runs. On the next play Hain can-ied the ball about a foot across the goal line, the referee claimed that Hain pushed the ball for- ward and it was returned to the Bluff- ton six-inch line. Five seconds of play remained and a mixup on the play caused Hain to fumble the ball and fall on it on the Bluffton one-Inch line just as the game ended. The Yellow Jackets next game was at Garrett and they were trampled by the Railroaders by the score of 2G-6. Both teams- displayed ragged football. The Garrett team scored two touch- downs in the first half and both trys half-back scored the Jacket ' s lone for points were good. Roop, Decatur touchdown and the point after failed. It was the last game of the season for the Yellow Jackets. CAPTAIN GERBER— Davey — End Gerber has played on the team four years. He made the team when a freshman and has been outstanding since then.

Although held down somewhat during the first half the Jackets opened the second half with a deluge of baskets and soon held a wide lead over the Allen County team. The next week Decatur met New Haven in what proved to be an excitin g game. New Haven presented a scrappy and well coach- ed quintet which pushed the Yellow Jackets hard throughout the game and as the final gun sounded Decatur was leading by one point, 23-22. After the New Haven game the Yellow Jackets journeyed to Auburn where they defeated the fast Auburn five, 2S-25. De- catur led by Debolt, who sunk several long shots, gained a lead of 17-9 at the half. Following a long journey to Winamac the Jackets were defeated by that team, 39-17. The Yellow Jackets were badly off form and the Winamac boys were said to have been playing over their heads. On the way home Decatur stoppsd over at Bluffton long enough to trim the Bluffton Tigers by the score of 33-23. The Yellow Jackets took an early lead and were lead- ing at the first halt 15-12. In the second half Decatur led by Hebble and Engle came back and completely outplayed the Tigers. The Yellow Jackets came back to their own gym and gave the fans a treat by trouncing the Berne Bears, the team which eliminated Decatur in the sectional tourney last year, by the score of 4S-13. The Jac- kets presented a strong offense with Capt. Gerber working pivot play and Reynolds, Debolt, and Engle cutting under the basket for many open shots. In the second half the Jacket defense led by Sclinepp held the Bears to one lone field goal and a foul. The night after the Berne game the Yellow Jackets went to South Skle where they won their sixth game of the season by the tune of 26-21. Led by Reynolds, who scored fourteen points and played one of the best games of his career, the Jackets piled up a lead of 22-7 and then were con- tent to lope along maintaining a safe lead. The following week the Jackets played another Fort Wayne school. They doubled the score on Mark Bills Redskins, 34-17. The Yellow Jackets held the upper hand during the whole game. Huntington visited the Yellow Jackets gym on January 1 and Decatur started the niliU BUOWN CHALMER DEBOLT DICK ENGLE Fifty-two. RAVELINGS New Year right by downing the Vikings 45-27. Every player on the team was pass- ing and shooting the ball in classy form and had hardly any trouble in running up the score. The Jackets made a trip to Angola and came home on the top-end of a 35-14 score. The Yellow Jackets combined a powerful offense with, a stiff man-to-man defense They piled up basket after basket and held Angola to five field goals and tour fouls. The Yellow Jackets went to Columbia City and drubbed that city ' s basketball team 61-13. The Jackets cut loose time and again for twenty-two field goals. Dick Engle led the local snipers with 19 points while Gerber and Debolt were collecting 10 points each. After the Columbia City game Decatur returned home and defeated Mishawaka 4S-27. The Mishawaka players were long shot artists but most of their shots ' were smothered by the Jacket defense. This game marked Decatur ' s eleventh win out of twelve games played. The following week Auburn played a return game with Decatur and they were defeated again by the score of 32-23. The game was fast throughout and Decatur snatched a scant lead of 15-13 at the half. They gradually increased this lead during the second half. Then the Yellow Jackets played the strong Fort Wayne Central team and de- feated them 33-30. Decatur held a lead of 18-11 at the half but the Tigers, led by Jennings, their colored forward, who made six baskets, soon gained a two-point lead. However, Hebble who was sent in, retaliat- ed with a field goal and a foul which put the game on ice for Decatur. The following week the Jackets defeat- ed another strong team, the Kendallville Red Devils 33-25. The Jackets led by Gerber, who scored four basket, s made a rally in the second half that the Kendall- ville defense could not stop. It began to look like Decatur was headed for the Butler Field House. The Yellow Jackets continued their bas- ketball slaughter and tunied back North Manchester high school netmen 54-20 on the local hardwood. Decatur ' s superiority in every phase of the game was outstand- ing throughout the tilt. Schnepp, Decatur backguard, pushed the ball through the net for a total of 18 points. JAMIOS ENGLEi; CAUL GERBER HARRY HEBBLE Fifty-three. RAVELINGS In the next game the Jackets played host to their old rivals, the Bluffton Tigers, who they defeated 39-29 for the second time of the season. The Jackets, although slight- ly off form maintained a 19-15 lead at the half. In the next halt they came back and completely baffled the Tigers. In their final game, which was played on the home court, the Yellow Jackets ovsr- whelmed the Garrett quintet 63-36. The Garrett team was unabls to cope w ' th the Jackets at anytime during the game. The Jackets presented the best offense seen here for some time. Captain Gerber, Hsbble, Reynolds, and Engle, all who were playing their last game for D. H. S., played except- ionally good ball. Gerber, the rangy center of the Yellow Jackets has played for D. H. S. four years. Hs added much strength to the team by his ability to control the tip-off against each of his opponents. His work on the pivot play ranked him with the best centers in the state. Gerber will be missed greatly next year. Reynolds, one of the fastest men on the team played the forward position. This was Reynold ' s first year as a regular. He added much power and drive to the Yellow Jackets with his fighting spirit. Reynolds as a senior and he also will be missed next year. Engle teamed at the forward position with Reynolds. These two players worked together in precise manner. D;ck was one of the leading scorers on the team due to his uncanny basket-eye. This is his last year and he will be missed next year. Debolt was another fast man. He was an exceptionally good guard. Dee was a long shot artists and whenever the Yellow Jackets could not break through their opponents defense Debolt would connect with a long shot. Chalmer has another year to play for D. H. S. Schuepp was the backguard on the team. This marked his second year on the squad. He always took care of the ball down under the basket and usually pushed several long shots through the net. Snap- per has another year to play on the team. Hebble was one of the best reserves Decatur has ever had. He did not start in many games but before they were over Harry had been in and made an account of himself. Every time he was sent in the Jackets could count on four or more points. VOYLE HILL HAROLD SHOAP IVAN REYNOLDS Fifty-tour. RAVELINGS— Harry ' s ability to start rallies caused the defeat of many good teams this season. This was his last year on the team as he is a senior. Zerkle was a substitute this year. He could be sent in and play either the center or guard position. We expect to see him fighting on the hardwood next ysar for D. H. S. Hill, another substitute who plays the forward position. Voyle is one of the best shots on the squad and we expect to see him win a regular position next year. Brown, another of the fighting Yellow Jackets played at the guard position. Fred showed great accuracy with his long shots this year and we expect much from him next year. Steele has played the guard position this year. He was a fast man and with a years experience we are looking for him to help represent the Jackets on the hardwood next year. Coach Curtis, better known as Herb to Decatur students, has been at Decatur for the last four years. During that time his teams have been considered the strong- est in Northern Indiana and he as one of its best coaches. The Yellow Jackets had their most successful season this year. They played one of their hardest schedules and came through the season with only one defeat in eighteen games. Which is a rec- ord few teams in the state can boast. The varsity was not the only squad at D. H. S. to have a successful season. The Yellow Jacket Reserves, under the tutiledge of Steve Everhart, finished the season with fifteen wins and three defeats. Steve was a new man at D. H. S. Last year hs coached at Monroe High School. The re- serve squad was cut in two on January 25, one squad was sent to the Huntington Sec- ond Team Invitational Tournament and the other played in the County tournament. The first squad fought its way to the finals and were defeated by the Peru Reserves 32-12. The other squad tucked the County championship under its arms for the sec- ond consecutive season by defeating the Kirkland Seconds in the final game. Members of the squad are: Shraluka, F. Brown, Steele, Voyle Hill, Snedeker, Shoaf, Engeler, Green, Buffenbarger, Feasel, and V. Hill. Of these Shraluka, Shoaf, and Green are the only ones to graduate. l VIGHi ' .SCHNEPP VANFAN SNBDEKEP WAYNE ZERKLE Fifty-flve RAVELINGS Lest to Right — Call Gerber, Harry Hebble, Dwight Schnepp, James Engeler, Wayne Zerkle, Vaufan Snedeker, Ivan Ilevmild.s, Dick Engle, P ' red Brown, Voyla Hill.

E. I. conference this year by winning nine games and losing none. They defeated South Skle, North Side, Angola, Columbia City, Auburn, Central, Kendallville, Bluffton, and Garrett. Each team in the conference schedules games with the other nine teams. It it happens that one of these teams appears twice on a schedule, the second game be- tween the two teams is considered as the conference game. Decatur played Auburn and Bluffton twice and defeated them both times. This year the sectional tournament, which was held at Decatur in former years, was split up. Seven Adams county teams were sent to the Bluffton sectional and two to the Fort Wayne sectional. These two were Decatur and Monmouth. The Yellow Jackets drew the strong Port Wayne Central team. These two teams were the strongest entered in the meet, and Decatur was favored by many critics to win this game and the tournament. The game started very fast and continued so throughout the game. The two teams appeared evenly matched, but Central received most of the breaks of the game and were leading at the end of the first half 11-7. In the second half both teams took the floor and played excellent basketball. Late in the half Central was leading 17-16 and Reynolds, Yellow Jacket forward, scored a long shot which would have put Decatur in the lead but the basket did not count. On the next play Franke, Central guard, slipped away on a sneaker-play for a basket and the game was over making the score 19-16 in favor of Central. The Yellow Jackets played a fine game and did not fumble the ball onoe during the game, and had the odds not been against them we believe they would have defeated the Central aggregation. Fifty-six.

During that time he also has had charge of the track squad at D. H. S. He is well liked by the student body and is very popular with other Decatur fans. This year Mr. Curtis not only turned out one of the best teams in the state but one of the strongest teams ever to represent D. H. S. on the hardwood. This year ' s edition of the Yellow Jackets, under the tutelage of Mr. Curtis, played through a diffcult schedule of eighteen games and won all but one of these. We certainly are very proud of Mr. Curti; and hope to see him in D. H. S. next vear. HERBERT L. CURTIS MAX E. KIDD Mr. Kidd has been at D. H. S. for two years as football coach. He has an exceptionally good knowledge of football and has made a very com- petent coach for the Yellow Jackets. Max , as he is known, is very popu- lar with the student body and Yellow Jacket fans. Although his teams have not been so successful in games won and lost, they have always entered the game with a fighting spirit and determination which is of tar more value to the players. The team this year under Mr. Kidd ' s guidance im- proved steadily throughout the season and won its first game in two seasons. Whether his team was winning or losing lie was always standing behind them urging them to fight harder. Fifty-nine. iiAX E.

RAVELINGS — The Decatur High School girl ' s basketball season opened November 22 on the local floor when the girl ' , played the New Haven girls in the preliminary to the Yellow Jacket-New Haven game. There were fifteen girls on the squad, and there was some doubt as to who would start the opening game, but Janette Clark, girl ' s coach, start al Werling and Macklin as tordwards; Shraluka and Kolter as center and side- center; and Brandyberry and Anderson as guards. The girls made a very fine showing, and got away t a good start; the score at the halt being 17-10 in favor of Decatur. In the second half the New Haven girls came back strong, but the Decatur grls played a good defense and emerged at the top of a 25-14 score. The Lady Yellow Jackets journeyed to Auburn November 27 with the Yellow Jackets. This was the girl ' s first appearance on a strange floor, and they played a good game against the Auburn team who for several years have been state champions. The same lineup was used as in the New Haven game. Isabelle Baumgartner was substituted for Ruth Macklin in the second quarter, however, but Macklin returned in the fourth quarter. The Auburn girls held a decided advantage over the Decatur girls owing to their height. However, the De- catur girls made a good showng; the score at the half being lS-5 in favor of Auburn, and the final score was 31-lS; anotheT victory for Auburn. The Lady Yellow Jackets again suffered defeat on Friday night of the Thanksgiving holiday, November 29, when the Garrett girls went home with a 39-30 victory. The Decatur girls got away to a bad start and in the second quarter Shraluka, captain, was taken out because of an injured knee, and Olive Teeters was substituted, who made a very good showing in her first appearance. The score at the half was 28-19 in favor of Garrett. In the second half the girls got back their fighting spirit, and started a rally, but it was too late. Baumgart- ner was substituted for Macklin, and she played a very good game. Another hard-fought battle was staged in the De- catur High School gym, when the Decatur Lady Yellow Jackets again suffered defeat at the hands of the Auburn girls, by a score of 35-33. The local six led throughout the first part of the game. In the second half both teamc. c .nre back strong, and the score went from one side to airother, the score being tied five times in the last hal . The score was tied at 33-33 with six minutes to go. Both teams fought hard for at least one more point. With only two miirutes left an Auburn forward sank a pretty field goal making the score 35-33 in favor of Auburn. Witli one minute to go the local team fought hard for a field goal, but had to go down to a second de ' ' eat from Aubunr. The Decatur fairs w ' itnessed a secoird victory over the New Haven girls by the Lady Yellow Jackets. The game was played on the local hardwood, and was very close Sixty-one.

It looked at times as if the Lady Yellow Jackets would go down under the brilliant rally of the New Haven girls, but the local girls won by a score of 41-39. The Alumni furnished interesting competition for the local girls during the holidays. The game was played Docember 27; it was very close in the first quarter, but the Lady Yellow Jackets soon ran away to a comfortable lead, and held it throughout the remaining part of the game. The Alumni included some of the recent gradu- ates of Decatur High School, Mildren and Lillian Worth- man, Mary Jane Fritzinger, Glennis Elzey, Florence Ander- son, and Helen Moeschberger. This was. the Lady Yellow Jackets second victory, and was won by a score of 31-16. Another victory was marked down on the Lady Yel- low Jackets ' score-book, when they returned from Hunter- town with the lead of a score of 37-16. The local girls led from the very start, but was very close at times. Sally Brandyberry and Ina Anderson were removed on per- sonals a few minutes after the start of the second half. With five minutes to go, Shraluka went out on fouls, and as there were no substitutes, the Decatur girls finished the game with only five members left, and made two more field goals under this handicap. The Lady Yellow Jackets went to Wabash on January 1(1 to compete with the Wabash Snowballs. The Wabash team completely outplayed them throughout the entire gyme, and led from the very first. The Waba?h Snow- balls, who have been state champions for the past several years, won their 33 consecutive game, by defeating the local team 34-10. The Wabash Snowballs again trounced the local girls January 25 by a score of 35-23. The local girls held the Snowballs down to a seven-point lead at the half, but were unable to hold down a brilliant rally made by the Cuowballs in the last few minutes of the game. Tliis was Wabash ' s 35th consecutive victory. In spite of the extreme roughness of theg iris game at Wren, on January 31, the local girls came home with a 19-10 victory. The game was a rough-and-tumble match from the very first, and the score at the half was 6-5 in favor of the local squad. After the intermission the local girls rallied to a 9-point lead, and held it throughout the rest of the game. The Decatur girls were again victorious over the liuntertown girls on February 20, in a game played here. The local girls were greatly handicapped by the absence of their star forward, Cleo Wierling, who broke her wrist v.-hile skating on Tuesday evening. Isabelle Baumgartner, however, was a very efficient substitute, and helped Toots Macklin pile up a score of 28-19. The Decatur Laay Yellow Jackets finshed their seas- on on February 22, with a brilliant victory over the Wren squad. This was the local girls second victory over this Sixty-two. RAVELINGS — team, and a large crowd witnessed the game. The same lineup that started the first game ot the season on November 22, saw the season to an end, with the exception ot Cleo Werling, who was unable to play because of he. wrist. The local team led throughout the entire game, and although the first half was very close, the Decatur squad rallied in the second hal; ' to a 19-S victory. Marcella Brandyherry, better known as Sally, ' liEO certainly loaned some good basketball ability to the squad this year. Sally still has two more years and will be a needed player. Ina Anderson believes in the saying Small but mighty. But just the same Ina has displayed some very fine guarding this year and she, also, has two more years. Cleo Werling, the fast little forward on the Lady Yel- low Jacket ' s squad is about to leave us, but she certainly has made a name for herself in the basketball field, and v.-e certainly are very sorry to lose her. Ruth Mackl. ' n, better known as Toots, played some very good basketball this season and has helped Werling do the scoring for the team. Toots still has another year with u; and we ' re sure she will make good aga:n. Marie Kolter, the efficient side-center of D. H. S., is also about to leave us. Marie has been a big help this year and is responsible for some of the good passes which resulted in baskets for the team. Bernadine Shraluka, better known to the girls as Berny, ha?: served as captain this season, and as she has another year with us we are expecting much out of her again next year. Isabelle Baumgartner has played every position on the floor this year and has made good every place. She, too, will leave us in the spring. Olive Teeters, substitute center, has played very good in the games in which she has been substituted. Olive still has another year with us. Mary Coverdale, substitute guard and center, has been very faithful to the team; and we are sure counting on her tor her two more years in D. H. .S. Ruth Winnes, sub forward and guard, has been very faithful to the team and as she has another year, we will count on her again next year. Berniece DeVoss, substitute forward, has participated in several games. Berniece is a Senior this year, another faithful member gone. Martha Noll, substitute forward, played in several games this season, and has shown some good ability, but she, too, is a Senior th ' s year. Anne Winnes, another Senior who gave a part of her time to basketball will leave us in the spring, and we certainly hate to see her go. Oathryn Fritzinger will also leave us in the spring, but she deserves a lot of credit for her support of the team. Margaret Kltson will be back again next year as she is yet a Junior. She was taken out of basketball at the end of the season but has helped support the team all year. Si.Kty-three.

GIRLS GLEE CLUB The Girls Glee Club of Decatur High School has completed a very successful year. The Glee Club was organized at the beginning of the school year with sixty-two mem- bers, and soon after the plans for the year were discussed and the following officers elected: President, Marie Kolter; Vice-President, Brna Lankenau; Recording Secre- tary, Dorothy Christen; Corresponding Secretary, Esther Sundermann; Librarians, Gretchen Winans and Helen DeVor. The last of November the Girls Glee Club planned to give the Christmas cantata: Chimes of The Holy Night, by Holten. Three per- formances were given of this cantata, as a part of the chapel program on the Friday preceding Christmas vacation, again before the Women ' s Club of the city and at the Sunday evening vesper service at the Presbyterian church. It was acknowledged the most beautiful cantata given in recent years. Much of its success, however, was due to the able directing of Miss Dessolee Chester, the head of the Music Department in Decatur High School. In February the members of both Glee Clubs decided to give the operetta College Days, by Dodge. Tlie operetta was given on Thursday and Fri- day evenings, March 20 and 21, with the following leading parts taken by members of tlie Girls Glee Club: Dot, Ruth Macklin; Helen, Kathryn Fritzinger; Dean of the Girls, Anne Winnes , first night) and Mary Madeline Coverdale (Friday night).

At the first meeting the worli for the year was outlined by Miss Chester. At the next meeting tlie following officers were elected: President, Ed Musser; Vice-President, Harold Melchi; Corresponding Secretary, Forrest Zimmerman; Recording Secretary, Harry Hebble; Treasurer, Harold Mumma; Librarian, David Heller. Russell Jaberg agreed to act as pianist, and served very efficien tly throughout the season. During the year the Glee Club gave several programs. They gave a Christmas program at the Central Building and also sang at the High School Christmas program. The boys ' quartette composed of Paul Frosch. James Engeler, James Burk and Harold Melchi gave programs at the Central building. Lions ' Club and Woman ' s Club. They also sang betwe.en acts at the Senior play. Although the Boys ' Glee Club, seemingly, did not do so much outside work this year, the training received from Miss Chester should prove very valuable to the organ- ization next year. The talent for the operetta was selected from both Boys ' and Girls ' Glee Clubs. The fellows ' chorus proved to be one of the most attractive features ot the operetta. Much credit is due Miss Chester for her never-ending efforts toward better music. The knowledge of music received in any of her classes is very valuable. Miss Chester is always willing to help anyone who needs help and her smile has won for her the hearts of the entire student body. The future for music looks very promising, as nearly 250 students were enrolled in music classes and they have received training which should enable them to do finished work next year.

The following officers were elected: President, Artliur Scliamerloh; vice-president, Cleora Baker; recording secrstary, Vivian Lynch; corresponding secre- tary, Helen Gray; business manager, Harold Mumma; assistant business manager, David Heller; librarian, Edward Martz. The purpose of this organization was to create a better understanding and appre- ciation of music. The members were mostly Freshmen and Sophomores, but a few upper-classmen entered also. This organization met every Tuesday and Thursday, and from these meetings we derived a better understanding of good music and feel that we are better judges of music as a result of this organization. At the close of the first semester, new officeTs were elected for the remainder of the year. They were as follows. President, Harold Melchi; vice-president, Miriam Haley; recording secretary, Harold Mumma; corresponding secretary, Ruth Macklin; treasurer, Vivian Lynch; business manager, Carl Buffenbarger; librarian, Edward Martz. At our meetings we worked on the songs that were used in the operetta, given by the Glee Clubs and Mixed Chorus. Many new discoveries were made in the Freshmen class and we are sure of a good music section next year. Seventy.

He has taught during the past two years. Through the proper co-operation and proper practice the Junior Band will soon render classical selections. Under Mr. Rice ' s tutelage one hundred thirty-nine boys and giris have received instructions. Many students move out during the year and quite a number are lost through graduation. The pnesent enrollment is forty-seven. We are certainly glad to see the creative inter- est in the musical instruments. Instrumental music trains for cit zenship, therefore, it liecomes a neces- sary part of the daily school work. Many of our leading educators say that music put- on the tlnish- ing touches to the academic work. To mak° the Junior Band complete.

At the close of the s.eason they gave a dance and entertained the boys ' organization, the Howling Hoists. Later the girls sponsored a benefit show in order to make monay to buy tams for the members and the girls ' basketball suits. During the basketball season each seat in the girls ' section of the gym balonged to season ticket holders, each member attending all the games. They even succeeded in creating enthusiastic and organized cheering, which was an incentive to the Yellow Jackets in winning the Northeastern Indiana Conference championship. Seventy-two.

One girl told of his life and the others explained some of his pictures. The Art Club held one party. This was a Cliristmas dinner and was held in the art room in the high school. The room was decorated by the ait students as a class program. For the dinner each girl brought a guest and exchanged gifts with her guest. They also brought gifts for children which were given to the Good Fellows Club. After the dinner a sliort proram was given. To be a member of the Art Club, the students must take two years of art and con- tinue to take it all through High Scliool.
