ySN ei ALLEN COUNTY PUBLIC UBRARY 3 1833 01216 5509 RAVELINGS 1933 Published by THE SENIOR CLASS DECATUR HIGH SCHOOL Decatur, Indiana m f m FOREWORD THE theme, Trees , chosen for 1933 Ravelings perhaps can be best explained by the words of Charles Lathrop Pack: Knowledge of trees is more than a duty of good citizens. It is a joy to the one who has this knowledge. The tree is a living thing. It grows as we grow. It pushes upward as we push upward in life. It spreads its branches outward, as we spread the branches of our minds, broadened by experience in life. The tree is a constant lesson to humanity, — a lesson in erectness, in courage, in dignity and in steadfastness. It serves us in thousands of material ways, so should we know that it may serve us in many ways as a guide and a friend. DEDICATION WE, the class of Nineteen Hundred Thirty- Three, dedicate this, our 1933 Ravehngs, to the people who are responsible for the beautiful trees in Decatur for: The groves were God ' s first temples. ' Ere man learned To hew the shaft, and lay the architrave And spread the roof above them., — ' ere he fram- ed The lofty vault, to gather and roll back The sound of anthems; in the darkling wood, Amidst the cool and silence, he knelt down And offered to the Mightiest solemn thanks And supplication. — Bryan — A Forest Hymn. I think that I shall never see, A poem lovely as a tree. A tree whose hungry mouth is pressed Against the earth ' s sweet flowing breast A tree that looks at God all day, And lifts her leafy arms to pray. A tree that may in summer wear A nest of robins in her hair, Upon whose bosom show has lain Who intimately lives with rain ; Poems are made by fools like me, But only God can make a tree. — Joyce Kilmer. BOOKS ADMINISTRATION CLASSES SPORTS ORGANIZATIONS ADVERTISEMENTS ADMINISTRATION TWO tall oaks stand sentinel-like to the inner depths of the cool, dark forest where awaits much lore to be learned and manv ' mysteries to be solved. So stands ADMINISTRATION— as sentinels, not to bar us, but to encourage and guide us as we delve deeper into the mysteries of education while wandering along its intricate paths. The oak embodies the strength of ages. It has withstood the onslaughts of the elements and the ravages of time. It is the king of the forest ! How then can we pay greater tribute to members of ADMINISTRATION than to think of them as endowed with the qualities of the mighty oak, the sentinel of the forest? BOARD OF EDUCATION BURT MANGOLD.

RAVELINGS ■ LIBRARY We find it fitting to place the picture of the hbi-ary here in the faculty section for two reasons: recognition and appreciation. Have you recognized the library as one of your instructors? It is! You go there daily for recreation and study. Madam Library, through her diversified subject teaching, has solved many problems for you. Many a difficult and tangled educational skein has she unravelled for each stu- dent who has come to her guidance. Do you then, as a student, fully appreciate what the lilbrary as an instructor means to you? Do you pay this teacher the homage she de- serves? Do you come within her walls for the quiet recreation of reading and for the beneficial labor of study or do you come to mutilate and de- stroy ? Students, let us give Madam Library our full obeisance. Do not treat her lightly but regard her as sanctuary where in quiet study she helps you improve that most wonderful of God-given possessions — the mind! Seventeen M- .■ - r. P ' 2 ' ;-.- A PATH, flecked with sunshine and shadows, leads through the forest. A tree, now seen in the distance, served as a guide along this path. Looking into the perspective, it has grown smaller. It seems to wave a solemn farewell, for we shall not come back to it. Two other trees we pass. We rested at their base. We were sheltered by their shade. We carved our initials in their bark and signified we had paused there in the years, 1931 and 1932. Now we stand on the path near the last tree. The path ends at its foot. We listen to the gentle rustling of its leaves. They seem to say, Farewell — good luck and God be with You!

In the fall of 1929 the new freshmen numbering 59 entered Decatur High School. The class organized and elected the following officers: Carl Buff enbarger, president ; Roland Reppert, vice-president ; Hugh Engle, secretary ; Hubert Stults, treasurer. Miss Lewton was chosen as guardian, and lead the class through a successful year. The class was well represented both in scholarship and athletics. At the close of the year the freshmen did their part in putting on an act at the High School party by presenting several well-known pictures which were: Whistler ' s Mother , Song of the Lark , The Age of Innocence , and The Angelus . Chapter II. The class resumed its place in 1930 as sophomores, and reelected Miss Lewton as their guardian. The following officers were chosen : Marion Feasel, president ; Kathryn Hower, vice-president ; Dick Macklin, secre- tary; Miriam Haley, treasurer. This year the sophomores were well represented in all the school activities namely, athletics, scholarship and organizations. At the close of school on the class day program they presented, under the direction of Miss Lewton, a human pipe organ. Chapter III. In 1931 the class now as upperclassmen started the year by the elec- tion of officers: Tom Allwein, president; Marion Feasel, vice-president; Dick Macklin, secretary ; Vernon Hill, treasurer. Miss Whalen was chosen as class guardian. The juniors continued their splendid representation in every school activity. In scholarship the class was represented by Tom Allwein, Eileen Burk, Sara J. Kauffman, Minnie Moyer, Roland Reppert, Kathryn Hower, Mary G. Zimmerman, Frances Holthouse, Mary K. Toney, Virginia Miller, Wendell Mann, Dick Sutton, Theodore Sovine. The class was represented in boys ' sports by Tom Allwein, Glen Roop, Vernon Hill, Marion Feasel, Carl Buffenbarger, and in girls ' sports by Kathryn Hower, Charlotte Butler, Gertrude Brandyberry. On the debate team were Eileen Burk, Sara J. Kauffman, and Dorothy Little. The class chose as its play, Tea Toper Tavern, and under the direc- tion of Miss Whalen it was successfully presented two nights, April 7 and 8, to appreciative audiences. The proceeds went toward the annual junior- senior reception given May 13. Chapter IV. In the fall of 1932 the class, now seniors, continued its eventful career which it hoped would culminate in graduation at the end of the year and it came to pass that the members of the class realized their ambition. The seniors chose Miss McCrory to guide them their last year as high Twenty-eig-ht. R A V E L I N Ci S school students. The officers elected were: Tom Allwein, president; Marion Feasel, vice-president ; Minnie Moyer, secretary ; Vernon Hill, treas- urer. Due to the period of depression the senior class failed to sponsor a Lyceum course. According to custom the class had charge of the annual Christmas celebration. Santa Claus was present and handed out many presents along with a lot of good laughs. This year Santa had two helpers and as an unusual event songs were sung to the recipients of the gifts in keeping with their bestowal. They chose as their class play, 0 Kay , a mysterious three-act play with an amusing plot. The play was given February 14 before a large audience. Much credit for the performance was due to Miss Whalen ' s direction. The class carried out its usual fine record by having on the honor roll the following people: Tom Allwein, Eileen Burk. Kathryn Hower, Minnie Moyer, Mary G. Zimmerman, Roland Reppert. They were represented on the basketball teams, both girls ' and boys ' , by Laura Christen, Kathryn Hower, Gertrude Brandyberry, Charlotte Butler, Juanita Noll, Vernon Hill. Marion Feasel, Carl Buffenbarger, Marion Feasel, Tom Allwein, and Glen Roop. Kathryn Hower was again chosen as yell leader. The first semester at the annual high school party the class presented a very clever stunt. Miss Sara Jane Kauffman acted as a page and intro- duced each act. The class began its act by putting on a style show, the different parts of the country being represented by different costumes. The West was portrayed by a riding habit, the South by yachting togs, the East by evening dress and lounging robes and the North by tennis togs. The second part of the act was a dance entitled, The King ' s Horses, directed, originated, and outfitted bv Mr. Anderson. Those taking part were: Tom Burk, Franklin Hebble. Franklin Keller, Dick Macklin, Hubert Stults, Dick Sutton, Eileen Burk, Kathryn Hower, Edwina Shroll, Mary Kohls, Miriam Haley, and Virginia Miller as pianist. The class wishes to thank the juniors for the lovely reception they gave them. It will be remembered as one of the high spots of their senior year. As its parting word the senior class wishes to exnress its appreciation to the faculty and the school board for their help and unparalleled advice. In after years the seniors will remember the aid so willingly extended them by their teachers. The class leaves this building hoping that it has carried out its motto: They Can Who Think They Can , which they, as freshmen, chose as their golden rule. They have tried to think of things in such a manner that in whatever they attempted to do, they went at it with a feeling of confidence in themselves. The class has tried to live up to its motto and it hopes to continue living up to it in the years to come.

Shortly before eight o ' clock those attending the affair began to arrive resplendant in beautiful evening gowns, modish spring suits, white flan- nels, and dark coats. The colorful gowns of the girls added to the beauty of the reception room which was tastefully decorated in lavendar and silver, the senior colors, along with the junior colors of green and yellow. The class flowers, pansies, and tea roses, contributed their charm as a part of the decorative scheme. The hostess of the reception was Barbara Krick. She introduced Marion Baker, junior president, who gave the junior welcome to the guests. Tom Allwein, senior president, responded in behalf of his class. Miss Vance and Mr. Ketchum represented the faculty with their clever talk while Mr. Worthman and Mr. Hower, main speakers of the evening, re- sponded for the school board. Two clever playlets, The Taylor ' s Dummy, and Tom Interrupts, were then presented. These playlets were coached by Miss Whalen to whom a large measure of credit must be given for the success of the re- ception. The sophomores who assisted in serving the delicious refreshments during the evening were: Pauline Aff older. Dale Newhard, Martha Erma Butler. Vance Fenimore, Evelyn Kohls, Roger Stoneburner, Mary Kathryn Tyndall, Clark Smith, Martha Calland, Carl Sheets, Corolene Townsend, and Dick Sheets. The latter part of the evening was devoted to dancing. Swirling gowns, twinkling toes, and the smiling faces of the dancers as they moved in syncopation to the harmonious music of the orchestra proved that the farewell party for the seniors was a success. Another yearly event ended, another junior-senior reception became history, but the class of 1934 was proud to lay claim to the fact that they were able to climb seemingly insurmountable financial bamers of the era in order that they might be able to carry on tradition.

Although they were inclined to be rather green, they put forth their best efforts. They organized and elected the following officers: Paul Strickler, president ; Mary Cowan, vice-president ; Harold Blythe, secretary ; Marion Baker, treasurer. Miss Wertenberger was chosen as the sponsor of the class. During the year the class was well represented in athletics and schol- arship. The freshmen assisted in putting on the annual high school party. Chapter H In 1931, having left their greenness to the oncoming freshmen, the class resumed its studies with great zeal and enthusiasm. As a result of their organization meeting the officers were elected as follows: James Cowan, president ; Gerald Strickler, vice-president ; Virginia Miller, secre- tary ; Margaret Campbell, treasurer. Mr. Dorwin was selected as class guardian. This year, as sophomores, the class was well represented in scholar- ship, athletics, debating, and various other school activities. At the mid- semester term twenty-two mid-year sophomores were added to the class roll. Chapter HI This year, 1932, the class again undertook the customary tasks of upperclassmen in Decatur High School. Following the organization of the seniors, the juniors met with the following results: Marion Baker, presi- dent ; Ida Mae Steele, vice-president ; Glenn Dickerson, secretary ; Gertrude Brandyberry, treasurer. Miss Whalen was chosen class guardian. The class, as usual, found its way into many of the school activities. On the boys ' basketball squad there were the following: Jim Cowan, Gerald Eady, Charles Ehinger, Ned Moser, William Sanders, Paul Strick- ler, Gerald Strickler, David Wynn, and as trainer, Burt Townsend. On the boys ' football squad there were: Glenn Dickerson, Gerald Eady, Charles Ehinger, William Sanders, Gerald Strickler, Burt Townsend, and David Wynn. On the girls ' basketball squad there were the following: Mildred Acker, Gertrude Brandyberry, Ruth Foughty, Pauline Hakey, Ida M. Steele, Thelma Whitright. There also was in our class one of the yell leaders, Marion Baker. In scholarshio they were well represented by: Mary Andrews, Mar- garet Campbell, Mary Cowan, Marjorie DeVoss, Virginia Dolch, Charles Ehinger, Kathryn Engeler, Ruth Foughty, Marcella Gilbert, Mildred Hesher, Josephine Ivetich, Esther Koenemann, Barbara Krick, Mary Meyer, Helena Rayl, Ida Mae Steele, and Max Zimmerman. The Junior Class Play, Be Yourself , was selected after much debat- ing. Following several weeks ' practice the play was successfully given under the direction of Miss Whalen on April 20, 1933. The proceeds went towards the annual iunior-senior reception which was given on May 12, 1933. By their experiences through the past three years the members of the junior class feel that they will be more able to handle the reign next year and reach the goal of success for which they have strived. , ■ Thirty-four.

RAVELINGS AuRust Kelly President SOPHOMORE CLASS OFFICERS Clark Smith Evelyn Kohls Vice-President Secretary Richard Brodbeck Treasurer SOPHOMORE CLASS One of the definitions for a sophomore is One next above a fresh- man . That is the definition the sophomores generally like because it seemingly gives them that much superiority over the freshmen. No sopho- more likes to be reminded of the time when he was called a Freshie . It rather mars the new superiority and dignity which he has just obtained. Another definition is pretentious or inflated in style or manner . Per- haps they are a little pretentious, but does not brief glory and newly ac- quired station make the best of us vain ? Freshmen generally look forward to that sophomoric era as a time vhen they will be more highly regarded and brought into closer contact and companionship with upperclassmen. Sophomores are inveterate crys- tal gazers and spend much of their time peering into the future. What will happen the next two years? Will their plans work out? What will they be doing in 1935? These and many other questions arise in their imaginative minds. The class flower, the tea rose, means love ; consequently the class naturally and unerringly appropriated it for their very own. The colors, honeydew and emerald green, were chosen in order that they might cor- respond with the junior class colors. Such is the spirit of sophomore co- operation! When the time comes for the sophomores to meet the juniors at gay social functions their honeydew and emei ' ald green will bring out a pleasing contrast with the junior colors which are light green and canary. The tea rose corresponds with the colors of both classes. The sophomore thereby lays claim to artistic ability in color harmony. The motto, They can who think they can , expresses the feelings of every sophomore. There is no doubt in their minds as to a successful career for them.selves as a class. Before they can have success they must have faith. The class is not lacking in faith or in confidence in their own ability to successfully carry through any venture they may undertake. Success shall be theirs ! Colors — Honeydew and Emerald Green. Flower — Tea Rose. Motto: They Can, Who Think They Can.

Tyndall, Edgar Thieme, Billy Tutweiler, Lloyd Wagner, Charles Whitman, Lester Workinger, and Kenneth Worthinger. At the f rst class meeting Miss Lewton was chosen class guardian. The class oflicers which the class elected were: Clark Smith, president; Evelyn Kohls, vice-president; Mary Kathryn Tyndall, secretary; Corolene Townsend, treasurer. The class flower, motto, and colors were chosen at this time. The freshmen had a good representation of people in both scholastic and athletic activities. The people who represented the class on the honor roll were Marceil Leatherman, Mary Kathryn Tyndall, Evelyn Kohls, Martha Erma Butler, Eula Myers, Corolene Townsend, Harriet Fruchte, Martha Jane Linn, Madeline Spahr, Elmer Schultz, Harold Sauer, William Elston, Mildred Koldewey, Alice Jane Archbold, and Pauline Affoider. The freshmen were also proud to have one of the yell leaders, Carl Sheets, in their class. In the second semester thirty-one more freshmen were added to the list making a total of ninety-eight in the class. The fall of 1932 was started with an enrollment of eighty sophomores. After getting settled into the daily routine of classes they had their first class meeting. At this meeting Miss Lewton was again chosen as the class guardian and the class officers elected were as follows : August Kelly, president ; Clark Smith, vice-president ; Evelyn Kohls, secretary ; and Richard Brodbeck, treasurer. This year the class was again well represented in the various iictivities. The students on the honor roll were: Alice Jane Archbold, Martha Erma Butler, Robert Coffee, WiUiam Elston, Harriet Fruchte, Mildred Cause, Jack Grether, Evelyn Kohls, Mildred Koldewey, Marceil Leatherman, Eula Myers, Elmer Schultz, Ruth Smith, Madeline Spahr, Corolene Townsend, and Mary Kathryn Tyndall. Carl Sheets was again elected as one of the yell leaders. The sopho- more girls who were on the girls ' basketball squad were Pauline Affolder, Martha Erma Butler, and Evelyn Kohls. Richard Brodbeck, Robert Coffee, Clois Eichar, James Harkless, Harold Kolter, Jacob Moyer, Elmer Schultz, Dick Sheets, and Clark Smith represented us on the boys ' second team squad. Thirty-eight. 0B R A V E L I N G S Robert Engeler President FRESHMAN CLASS OFFICERS Agnes Nelson Russel Butler Vice-President Secretary Ruth Porter Treasurer FRESHMAN CLASS HISTORY September 6, 1932, added ninety-two freshmen to the enrollment of Decatur High School. There were thirty-four mid-year students from last year. Twenty more freshmen entered at the mid-term, malving a total of one hundred and forty-six. The third week of school, the freshmen organized and elected officers : Robert Engeler, president; Agnes Nelson, vice-president; Russel Butler, secretary ; Ruth Porter, treasurer. They also chose Miss Vance as their guardian. The year started out slowly in the way of scholastic ability with only four on the honor roll. The class pi ' oved its ability to be better, however, by having seven on the honor roll the second six weeks, and eight the third six weeks. Those receiving this honor at least once this year were : Agnes Nelson, Marie Grether, William Tutweiler, William Schafer, Ruth Porter, Mary Ann Baumann, Eileen Wells, Albert Keller, and Ellis Squires. Agnes Nelson and Marie Grether received a perfect record several times during the year. William Tutweiler came next with three A pluses and one A. The freshmen also took part in many other activities. Sevei ' al of the boys played in the Decatur Junior Band conducted by Mr. D. M. Rice. They were: Billy Schafer, Harry Moyer, Bill Schrock, Bob Ashbaucher, Ellis Squires, and Bob Engeler. The freshmen were proud to ha ' e two of their boys, Russel Butler and Ralph Peterson, on the first basketball squad. A group of the freshmen boys were coached by Mr. Andrews and played several games with Central, winning three out of five games. On November 11, the High School Party was held. For the stunts, the dift ' erent sections of the country were portrayed by the sophomore, junior, and senior classes, while the freshman stunt, in the form of a patriotic drill, showed how all sections of the country are bound into one solid unit. The class has worked hard to outgrow its so-called greenness and hope that by next year it may stand side by side with the upperclassmen in the school activities, and may do its part for dear old Decatur High School.

R A V E L I N G S Mfc - M qJ [s Carl Sheets Yell Leaders Kathryn Hower Marion Baker YELL LEADERS Decatur High School ' s trio of lively yell leaders were again chosen by the student body to lead the school in songs and cheers. There was much discussion as to whether we should have two or three leaders, but it was decided to continue the well-matched trio. Katy , one of the veteran members of the snappy trio is a senior this year. The whole school is sorry to have Katy leave as she has always stood by both the team and the school, praising them in victory and cheer- ing them in defeat. The student body will miss Katy next year and will find it a rather difficult task to fill her place. Bake has been with the school three years, and previous to that, he led Central in pep and spirit. The school will have Bake still another year, tho ' it is doubted if he could ever have much more pep. Bake has been taking public speaking, and can he talk to the students ! When he turns fiery red, you ' d better watch out. He never minces words but talks to them straight from the shoulder, and the students seem to like it. Carl , the third member of the trio has improved by experience to the pleasure of all the students. The school had faith in Carl , and he has caught the spirit of the job. The student body will find a dependable, peppy cheer leader in Carl . As he has two moi e years in school, every- one expects great things from him.

Tiny has all the qualities that go in the making of a real football team. MR. CURTIS Herb has completed his, seventh year as head coach. He specializes in basketball. Herb is well liked because of his determination to turn out winning ball clubs and also for his loyalty to his team. SEPHUS JACKSON Sephie , nearly the smallest boy in school, tackled the job of trainer for the football squad. Although he was small he proved to be a very efficient trainer in performing his duties. BURT TOWNSEND Bud assumed the responsibility as trainer for the basketball boys after the football season had been completed. He certainly did a good .job of taking care of the boys and equipment. EILEEN BURK Eileen, who was chosen as girls ' trainer for the year 1932-1933, is to be congratulated on her success in filling this position. She was very effi- cient and dependable. It is wondered if there is someone else who can take her place and fulfill it as well as she? JEANETTE CLARK Jeanette Clark has .iust finished her third successful year as coach of Decatur High School ' s Lady Yellow Jackets. No matter whether they win or lose, Nettie is always there to encourage and pep up the team. It has been due to the hard work of Miss Clark that they have been able to maintain a girls ' team.

FOOTBALL Two weeks before school started Coach Horton and Manager Seph Jackson dug up the pigskin and other equipment, and thirty-six men re- ported to workout under that hot August sun ; so as to get in condition to avenge the defeats administered to them last year. With only three weeks in which to prepare for the first game, the boys worked hard and often practiced twice a day. There were eleven letter men reported and also a number of other men who had had experience. The experience of these men proved valu- able and enabled Coach Horton to have an experienced team developed at the beginning of the year. Although winning only two games out of eight is not considered a good record, the fact that the Yellow Jackets defeated their ancient rivals, the Bluffton Tigers, made it a successful season. The members of the team were good fighters and gave some of the best teams in this section a real battle. Coaches say that a team is only as strong as its reserves. The re- serves are never given much credit although they are greatly deserving. They are the ones that furnish the opposition and competition thereby building up a team. Without these forces there could be no team. They are the foundations. The boys deserve praise for coming out to practice. They took many hard knocks, and even though they did not receive letters they are just as important as the regulars. Forty-seven. • ' 1 S ' R A V E L I N G S Marion Feasel Jonathon Furd Vernon Hill Glen Roop DECATUR-CENTRAL CATiHOLIC The Yellow Jackets opened their football season, during the first week of school, with a sparkling 6-0 victory over a powerful Central Catholic team. The Yellow Jackets outplayed the Irish throughout the game and scored their six points in the third quarter. A pass from Buffenbarger to Eady put the ball in scoring position, and then Eady hit the line for the touchdown. The Yellow Jackets returned from Fort Wayne a tired but happy football team. DECATUR-AUBURN Decatur was defeated by Auburn in its second game of the season in a very close contest. Tiny ' s men started in a nice way but Auburn proved slightly superior. Their star, Williams, was able to collect their eighteen points while Buffenbarger and Feasel each scored for Decatur. Williams of Auburn, was the outstanding player of the game. DECATUR-SOUTH SIDE Decatur journeyed to Fort Wayne to play the South Side Archers in the first game of a double header. The Jackets fought hard but the Arch- ers proved too powerful. The Yellow Jackets held the Archers until a fresh backfield was inserted in the second quarter, and Lundy Welborn ' s griders reeled off two touchdowns. The Archers scored again in the third period ; while the Yellow Jackets made their lone marker in the fourth period when Feasel caught a long pass behind the goal line. The final score was 19-6, but the Archers had to make a hard fight to earn their nineteen points. DECATUR-GARRETT Decatur lost a thrilling game to Garrett by a score of 12-7. Garrett started the scoring by collecting six points in the second quarter. They again scored in the third quarter. In the fourth quarter Decatur started a drive for a touchdown but was held on the five-yard line. Garrett started the ball back down the field, but Hill intercepted a pass and again put the ball in scoring position. Hill then went through the line and scored. Buffen- barger made the extra point. Hill of Decatur, was undoubtedly the out- standing player. DECATXTR-PORTLAND The Portland Panthers scored a 19-12 victory over the Yellow Jackets in the Jackets ' first and only night contest of the season. The Jackets Forty-eight. SP? :Sfi f ' ' R A V E L I N G S Tom Alhvein Carl Buffenbarger Russel Butler Charles Cloud were not able to hit their stride in the night game while the Panthers made consistent gains. The Portland kid rooters proved rather cocky, and dur- ing the half the field looked like a communistic meeting. Decatur scored her two touchdowns on recovered fumbles and threatened to score several other times but seemed to lack a scoring punch. DECATUR-CENTRAL Coach Mendenhall brought his aggregation of thirty-five Tigers to deal the Yellow Jackets a decisive defeat of 23-8. Morton ' s small reserve strength proved incapable against the larger selection of men which Men- denhall had on hand. Feasel of Decatur, was the outstanding player throughout the entire game. DECATUR-NORTH SIDE The Yellow Jackets lost their final home game to the xNorth Side Red- skins by a score of 20-0. The Horton men started strong, but North Side ' s reserve strength overcame Decatur. The score at the half way point was 14-0. Decatur again threatened in the third quarter but was again stopped. In the final period, Mark Bills, confident of victory, sent in the reserves who played until the final cjuarter was over. DECATUR-BLUFFTON The Yellow Jackets wound up their football season in a blaze of glory by defeating their ancient rivals, the Bluffton Tigers, by scoring a touch- down in the last three minutes of play. Two successful passes put the ball on the eight-yard line. Then Buffenbarger and Butler tore through the Tiger ' s line to the one-foot line where Butler on fourth down smashed through center for the touchdown. The Yellow Jackets outplayed the Tigers throughout the game although the Tigers put up a great fight. TOM ALLWEIN— Tom, as center, was a very steady player and possessed the nerve and determination that is required of a good football player. RUSSEL BUTLER— Russ , a freshman, played most of his season at guard. He proved to be very efficient in helping build up the stone wall defense that Decatur had. He was shifted to fullback in the Bluffton game, and he proved to be very successful in aiding the defeat of our old rivals, Bluffton.

He plays the guard position and evei v ounce of him spells fight. He has the physical build for his position. He never has much to say, but he certainly has the true school spirit. CHARLES EHINGER— Sonny , plays one of the halfback positions. He proved outstanding in many of the games. Sonny was noted for his grit and his ability in keeping up the team spirit. He is a junior this yeai ' , and he will probably be one of our best men next vear, due to his ability and his experience. CARL BUFFEXBARCtER— Buffy , was one of the big threats of the Purple and Gold. He can either pass, punt, or run. He filled the quarterback position and was right there to call the right play at the right time. CHARLES CLOUD— Charlie , was one of the fastest men on the squad. At end he was a great defense player and took pleasure in breaking up the oppositions plays. Although Charlie had a leg injury he proved very valuable. GERALD EADY— Jerry , started out as regular fullback but because of an injury was forced to alternate in this position. He played his best in the Central Catholic game, making long gains and scoring the only touchdown of the game. HOWARD ELZEY— ' Skinny , is one of the smallest men on the squad but this did not prevent him from earning his letter at halfback position. He proved that small size is no handicap but rather a thing to be desired. They say Skinny ' s open field running against Portland was uncanny, but perhaps they thought Skinny was too small to be of importance. He gave them a real surprise. JONATHON FORD— Johnny , was a big man and he made the opponents know it. He was in everv plav, and he used his size to great advantage. VERNON HILL— Peaches played at end position last year, but this vear he was con- verted into a halfback. He distinguished himself by his speed and his Fifty. R A V E L I N G S Lloyd Conrad Gerald Eady Charles Ehinger Howard Elzey ability to carry the ball, but his stellar punting kept Decatur out of danger many times. Because of an injured knee he was out of several games and was greatly missed. MARION FEASEL— Dave turned out to be one of the scrappiest, hardest hitting line men on the whole team and was awarded a letter for his fine work at end. He was a mighty hard man to get down and he managed to stay in the game at all odds. Dave was always down under punts, and he also proved himself an excellent pass snagger. WILLIAM SAUNDERS— Wiggs saw service at both tackle and fullback positions, and he filled these positions capably. Wiggs is one of those players that be- lieves that actions speak louder than words. Wiggs never said much but he always showed plenty of action. GERALD STRICKLER— Strick was one of the boys that maneuvered the team on the field. Besides being a field general Strick also did some passing and punting that proved a great asset to the team. Strick has another year to play, and he will, no doubt, be better than ever. GLEN ROOP— Glen was elected honorary captain of the team, and a more deserving man would be hard to find. He was always in the game, smashing up interference and making end runs from behind. Glen has given three big seasons to football and his place will be hard to fill when the roll is called for the 1933 sciuad. ALBERT SCHEIMAN— Butch , although one of the smallest men on the squad played guard. He made up for his lack of size in speed and courage. Butch always seemed to come face to face with a giant in the opponenl ' s line; but size didn ' t matter to Butch , and when the play came around, that big guy was alwavs where he would be of the least service to his team. BURT TOWNSEND— Bud was an end with dogged determination. He was a great de- fense man and took pleasure in breaking up the opposition ' s plays. In spite of his lack of weight, he proved himself equal to most tackles that opposed him. He not only was a deadly tackier and blocker but was al- ways one of the first to get down under punts.

BASKETBALL— BOYS Basketball is another sport in which all boys are not successful in attaining the honor of being on the varsity five. These are the boys who are most valuable in making a good ball-club , since they must aid in coaching the varsity five in establishing their offense and defense. Un- doubtedly all of them came out for the team with the desire of obtaining a position on the first squad but, as time wore on their outward hope van- ished. Nevertheless they fought on with the hope that they might be on that first five . Those who did not make the varsity were placed on the second team where they obtained valuable experience and were taught the fundamentals of basketball. Perhaps they will be the back-bone of the next year ' s varsity. At least it is hoped they will be successful in their attempts to carry the Purple and Gold further in the field of athletics. The team won 10 and lost 9 games this season. Next season there should be a marked improvement since there will be more good material from which a team might be developed. At the tournament, most games were close and hard fought. Several were won in the last seconds. This goes to show how well matched most of the teams were at the Fort Wayne sectional. Decatur ' s scores at the tournament were: Decatur 23, Elmhurst 15; Decatur 27, Huntertown 24 ; Decatur 26, Lafayette Center 24 ; Decatur 12, North Side 40. The Decatur Yellow Jackets in their first game of the season turned back the New Haven Bulldogs 33-20. In the final quarter the Bulldogs lost three men and Decatur gained a comfortable lead. This was the first game played under the new rules, and the game was more or less hap- hazzard, although the official refused to permit injunctions of the rules. im: Fifty-three. - ' .f-i ' - di;:. R A V E L I N G S Vernun Hill James Cowan Marion Feascl Carl Buffenbarger , Decatur suffered one of its worst defeats in recent years from the Hartford City Airdales by a score of 31-12. Hartford City ' s well organ- ized team seemed to score at will against Decatur ' s futile attempts to stop their drive. The officiating for both sides became monotonous to both teams since it was below the quality which could be expected. Decatur continued its winning streak by defeating the Winchester five by a score of 33-20. The Curtis-men collected an early lead and held it throughout the game. Feasel of Decatur was the outstanding player of the game and also high point man. For Winchester the scoring honors were evenly divided. Decatur defeated Moni ' oeville in an exciting net tilt by a score of 36-23. During the first half of the game neither team was able to settle down, but when the second half started it seemed as though two new teams had come onto the floor since there was such a marked difference in the type of game the two teams used. Decatur pulled away from the Monroeville team which was leading 9-11 at the end of the first half to a safe lead and kept it throughout the remainder of the game. Decatur made an excellent start against the Archers but their lead was soon torn down by the South Side net men ' s smooth running offense. At the opening of the third quarter Decatur proved not to be discouraged by their noble attempt to rally but the Archer ' s defense was well prepared and thus Decatur was unable to cut down that 13 point lead. The fourth period ended with the Archers on top, 29-18. The Yellow Jackets piled up a 9-1 lead on the Tigers only to falter and go down in defeat 29-21. The half ended 14-14, but during the second half the Tigers piled up a decisive lead. The Yellow Jackets suffered a decisive defeat at the hands of the Auburn Red Devils, 31-17. Dave Whataman Williams, Auburn center, led his teammates with a total of fifteen points. It was during the third quar- ter that the Red Devils ran wild, piling up twelve points while holding the Yellow Jackets to a single free throw. The Yellow Jackets put up a fine game against Rochester although losing 25-20. Rochester gained a 6 point lead over the reserve lineup started by Coach Curtis during the first half. The lead proved too much Fitty-four. '  ■ R A V E L I N G S Gerald Strickler Charles Ehinger Russel Butler David Wynn for the regulars to overcome but Decatur showed great improvement over the last few games. Decatur lost a thrilling game to Central of Fort Wayne by a score of 23-19. The Yellow Jackets were unable to connect with innumerable easy shots and that undoubtedly caused their defeat. Decatur held a two to six point lead up to the final minutes of play when the Central Tigers nosed into a four point lead which they held until the final gun sounded. After having lost seven straight games the Yellow Jackets came back to score a brilliant 26-20 victory over the Columbia City Eagles. Only once did the Eagles lead the Yellow Jackets and this but for a few minutes in the second quarter. The Yellow Jackets rallied during th e fourth quar- ter and buiit a six point lead. Out to avenge a defeat handed to them by the Bluffton Tigers earlier in the season, the Yellow Jackets displayed uncanny accuracy from the charity line and won a real thriller, 32-29, in an overtime period. Feasel sent the game into an overtime by scoring a foul shot making the score 28-28. During the overtime Ehinger sunk two field goals, while Blufl ' ton counted a free throw. The Yellow Jackets met without doubt the toughest team they have played all season and were defeated by Peru, 41-19. The Circus City boys lived up to their advanced notices and played a fine brand of ball. The Yellow Jackets hung right on until the last quarter when Peru pulled away to a decisive lead. Failing to hit their stride, the Decatur Yellow Jackets in their last road game of the season were defeated by the Garrett Railroaders 19-9. Garrett took the lead at the beginning of the game and the Yellow Jackets were unable to overcome it. In the final scheduled game of this year the Yellow Jackets defeated the Kendallville Comets by a score of 34-21. The Comets furnished little opposition for the fast Decatur team. The decisive victory was not ex- pected from the well-spoken-of team but nevertheless it happened. At the end of the first half Decatur led the visiting team by a score of 20-6. With a fourteen point lead Decatur finished the last half with ease.

His playing was of a speedy type and he was always on the go. VERNON HILI Guard Peaches was a guard of the highest calibre. His defense was a thing pleasing to the eye and he was a dangerous man on the offense. MARION FEASEL— Guard Dave ' s defensive playing was great, his floor work equally good, and he had a perfect eye for the loop. GERALD STRICKLER— Forward Strick started the season as a sub but in a few days he was a for- ward of first string quality and much is expected of him in the future. GERALD EADY— Center Jerry is a big boy and with the experience he received this year he should prove very valuable next season. CHARLES EHINGER— Center Sonny along with Jerry held down the center position. Sonny played many good games this year and will undoubtedly play many more next year. PAUL STRICKLER— Forward Although handicapped by size Paul was always ready to do his part when called upon. JAMES COWAN— Forward Jim has plenty of talent, and he uses it to a great advantage. Jim has another year and should hold Decatur ' s colors high in basketball. WILLIAM SAUNDERS— Guard Wiggs is not flashy but steady and dependable. Wiggs did not play regular bu Ae is expected to fill one of the vacancies left by the seniors in the year he has remaining at D.H.S.

TRACK The games held by the ancient Greeks marked the beginning of our present day track and field meets. The Olympic games that were held this year were originated by them in their efi ' orts to obtain physical health and fleetness of foot. This sport of ancient Greece is growing in popularity every year, and it has gained a strong foothold in the colleges and high schools of America. Decatur High School did not possess any fleet-footed sons of Mercury when the season first began, but before the season had ended many boys appeared to be wing-footed as they flew down the cinder path. Coach Curtis issued a call for track men, and a large number of men reported. Few men were lost by graduation and with some new material that was uncovered a good track team was developed. In the distance runs there were Stults, Saunders, Knodle, and Cloud ; in the pole vaunts Buff enbarger and Elzey; in the high ,iump Buff ' enbarger, Cloud, and Hill ; in the high hurdle Hill ; and in the low hurdle, Elzey. All of these boys have had experience in their respective divisions and helped to gather up points for Decatur. The schedule contained a triangular meet with Auburn and South Side of Fort Wayne, a meet with South Side, a triangular meet with Hunt- ington and Auburn, and the team also entered the North Side Relays, the Conference meet and the Sectional meet. % S mm I ' .:. v,- Fifty-seven. a z ' ' -, . .

BASEBALL X- w i ' h Kt ■ When the first bright days of spring appear any number of boys may be seen in the street before the high school and at the north end of the building. They are all potential Babe Ruths as evidenced by the number of baseballs flying through the air, the crack of the bats, the baseball paraphernalia lying around. There is the hope in each boy ' s heart that he may become a member of the team that represents America ' s national sport — Baseball ! Almost as soon as the basketball season was ended Coach Horton made a call for the baseball candidates. Several men were lost from last year ' s N. E. I. C. championship, and although the pitching staff was con- siderably weakened by the loss of Harmon, veteran mound ace, the pros- pects for this year looked good. The battery men turned out for practice in the gym several weeks before the rest of the candidates so as to get their arms in condition and also for Coach Horton to get a pitching staff lined up for the season. Feap l, Buffenb arger, and Wynn saw service on the mound and Conrad and Shultz alternated at back stop. There were also a number of other men that looked good on the mound even though they did not have much experience. Men from last year ' s championship team were available for the in- field and the outfield. These included Feasel, Bufi ' enbarger, Strickler, Kaufi man, Macklin, and Harkless for the infield and Ehinger, Scheimann, Saunders, Jackson, and Roop for the outfield. 6 Fiftj ' -eight.

TENNIS Tennis is a new sport in tlie high school but nevertheless it is rapidly gaining popularity within the student body. During the summer months it is quite a popular sport in Decatur, but it was not introduced as a part of the school athletics until recent years. Since that time D.H.S. has had a winning team each year. Only two of the last year ' s team were lost by graduation but these were replaced by eager candidates who responded when Coach Dorwin issued his first call. Early practice was held in the gymnasium where a full court was set up and with the coming of spring rains the work re- mained inside. Most of the matches were played on the home courts. The boys worked hard in building up the city courts and made them suitable for the matches. The courts were new, but through the efforts of Supt. Worth- man they were rolled and have become the finest in Decatur. This year the tennis team was composed of the following boys : Hol- land Reppert, James Cowan, Jacob Moyer, Tom Burk, Robert Odle, Vance Fenimore, and Franklin Hebble. Last year Rolland Reppert again won the N. E. I. C. single champion- ship. This is the second year Rolland won the cup from our other confer- ence opponents. As an indication of our strength, Jim Cowan was the other finalist as he had been successful in the other bracket. Matches were played with the following schools: Huntington, Gar- rett, Winchester, Dunkirk, the Fort Wayne Schools. The conference meet was also held at Decatur in May.

LADY YELLOW JACKETS The Lady Yellow Jackets have successfully finished their fourth year. This year the team will lose Kathryn Hower, Laura Christen, Miriam Haley, Jaunita Noll, and Charlotte Butler. Kathryn, forward, and Miriam, running center, have played for the first time on the varsity, while Laura, guard, has completed her second year. Jaunita and Charlotte, guards, played for the first time on the squad although this was Charlotte ' s second year out. Next year we will have many experienced players. Gertrude Brandy- berry, center, and Milly Acker, forward, will be seniors on the team. Evelyn Kohls, guard, will play as a junior; and although Pauline Hakey, another junior, was absent the first semester because of illness she will be a valuable player next season. Lenore Teeple, Mart Butler, Ida Mae Steele, Ruth Foughty, and Naomi Ladd, we hope, will be valuable in the coming year — as they have all had some experience at sometime during the year. The team experienced a lot of hard luck this year. Pauline Hakey, guard, was absent the first half because of illness. Mart Butler, forward, was absent the latter part because of a sprained knee, and Charlotte Butler, guard, sufl:ered a wrenched collar bone at the close of the season. The 1932-33 schedule was as follows: Hoagland, there, November 19; Monmouth, here, December 2 ; Hoagland, here, December 10 ; Willshire, here. December 17; Garrett, here, December 22; Monmouth, there, January 11; Auburn, there, January 13; Garrett, there, February 7; Alumni, here, February 6. =iNty.

The game was close throughout with Decatur rallying in the fourth quarter. The starting line-up was: Mildred Acker and Kathryn Hower, forwards; Gertrude Brandyberry, center; Miriam Haley, side center; Laura Christen and Evelvn Kohls, guards. Substitution : Martha Erma Butler, forward. On December 2nd, the Lady Yellow Jackets, playing on their own lloor, ran away with the Monmouth team to the tune of o ' to 2. What a fighting spirit in a team ! The first half seemed a whistle blowing contest but closed with a score of 15 to 0. In the last half, our two veteran for- wards, Hower and Acker, kept the goal hot with beautiful shots until the Monmouth aggregation gave up hope. Decatur ' s combination worked smoothly, scoring from the field again and again while our visitors counted for their points with two free throws. Every player out entered the game for a few minutes and gathered some valuable experience. The return game with Hoagland, played at Decatur, on December 10th, was a great disappointment to the squad. Play was very even throughout and the outcome of the game was undecided until the final quarter was over. The game ended with Hoagland winning by one field goal. The final score was 26 to 24. forward. The Ladv Yellow Jackets went Substitution: Martha Erma Butler, to Wiltshire on December 17th and ( ame home victorious.

In the second half which was three court Decatur piled up the score. The game ended with the count of 34-9 in favor of Decatur. Substitutions: Hakey, Steele, and Brandyberry. Friday night, January 13, the Lady Yellow Jackets bowed down in de- feat before Auburn ' s fast six. This was the second defeat of the season. Decatur was handicapped by the absence of one of her forwards, suffering with a bad knee. Acker for Decatur and Reinhold for Auburn were the two outstanding players. The score at the half was 11-12 for Auburn. Decatur slackened pace in the final half, and the game ended 31-19. Sub- stitutions: Teeple, Christen, and Noll. On February 4th, the Lady Yellow Jackets bowed down in defeat to the Garrett Clippers. This game was a big surprise to both teams as De- catur had defeated Garrett earlier in the season by a substantial margin. Acker, forward for Decatur, counted for nineteen of Decatur ' s points while Alford and Sargent divided the honors evenly for Garrett. Garrett led at the half by a score of 17-9. The final score was 37-21 in favor of Garrett. Substitutions: Noll, Hakey, Teeple, and Christen. The Lady Yellow Jackets ended their season successfully with a vic- tory over the alumni on February 7, 1933. The girls ' team began early in the game to pile up the score against the alumni ; they all played a good game and several reserves saw action. The alumni girls were rather handicapped from lack of practice, but they gave the girls good competition. The score ended 35 to 9 in favor of the school team. Sixty-two.

In order that the girls from the country might participate, these games were played at noon. Five teams were organized under the head of noon girls, freshmen, sophomores, jun- iors, and seniors. Any girl in school was eligible to play on her class squad, except the girls on the regular high school team. All games were under the supervision of Miss Clark, and different members of the varsity squad acted as referees. The schedule was arranged so that each team played four games. The teams were numbered 1-2-3-4-5 according to their rank and each noon a team was eliminated, until the sophomores emerged victorious, having de- feated each of their opponents. Thus they won for themselves the title of Inter-Class Tournament Champs . It seems fitting that Mary Kathryn Tyndall should give greater honor to her class by presenting them with another title, that of High Point Girl . Her total number of points was 64 with Marcella Williams, a junior, cl aiming second place with a total of 42 points.

COLOR WHEEL ART CLUB The Color- Wheel Art Club was organized in 1928, by Catherine Martin who was then instructor. The purpose of this organization is to create a deeper and more appreciative attitude toward art. The organization held its first meeting this fall, under the supervision of the new art instructor, Miss Kathryn Kauffman. The renewal of mem- bership to the state federation of art clubs was proposed. The following oificers were elected : Edwina Shroll, president ; Wilma Andrews, secretary ; Lela Palmer, treasurer. There were 20 active members in the club. This club has taken on some extensive activities, such as the poster contest and the traveling Colonial Art Exhibition. Three members of the club were entered in the state poster contest which Avas held at Blooming- ton, Indiana. The subject for the contest was Children of All Nations. These posters were made in the art classes and the best were chosen to represent our schools. The traveling art exhibit of Colonial prints was the outstanding work during the year. There was an exhibition of 150 prints of famous masters from difl ' erent countries. From the proceeds of the exhibit the art club was able to obtain a famous print which the club in turn presented to the school. In the spring an exhibit of the high school work was held together with the glee club concert. This was well attended and enjoyed by every- one. Seventy-two.

JUNIOR BAND .-t ■ ■ ' ■■ ' The Decatur Junior Band has again helped to increase the interest and enthusiasm of many Decatur High School activities. The band was proud to have four members in the Northeastern Indi- ana High School District Orchestra. The members were: Vera Porler, Roselyn Foreman, Richard Wertzberger, and Edward Martz, who was the president. In October they took part in the concert given at the Teachers ' meeting held at Fort Wayne and also participated in a concert given at the Shrine Auditorium. David Rice, who has been here for several years, is the supervisor of the band. He has about twenty new members under his dire!:l;ion, who will be able to take the places of the older members. The band played a series of eight concerts last summer on ttie Centra; School lawn. It also represented Decatur at the Peony Festival held at Van Wert, Ohio, and played one night at the Indoor Circus. The band consists of twenty-seven members all under the leadershij) of Mr. Rice. In it are seven clarinets, four alto saxaphones, two C melody saxaphones, one tenor saxophone, four cornets, two snare drums, one bass drum, two Isaritones, and one bass horn. The officers are: Harold Teeter, president; Edward Martz, vice-pi ' esident ; Vera Porter, corresponding sec- retary; Bernadine Kolter, secretary, and Mr. M. F. Worthman, treasurer. ■ :::.

HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS ' TRIO At the beginning of this school year, our new music supervisor, Miss Haubold, organized a High School Girls ' Trio. The members were: Sara Jane Kauffman, Mary Kathryn Tyndall, and Edwina Shroll. The trio sang at many social functions outside of school as well as in school. At their first performance which was at the Northeastern Indi- ana Teachers ' Convention at Fort Wayne, they sang: Songs Mv Mother Taught Me — Dvorak, Wind At Night — Zameknic, Loves a Merchant — Carew. They next sang for the American Legion banquet; the numbers which were offered there were: Recessional — De Koven, Sylvia — Oley Speaks. The Woman ' s Club then invited the girls to sing Christmas Carols at the Christmas program, and they accepted. They also helped the Senior Christmas Committee by singing theme songs for the students as they received their gifts. In the fall the Girls ' Glee Club gave a free fall concert where the Trio sang: Trees — Rashbach, Songs My Mother Taught Me — Dvorak, Wind At Night — Zameknic. At the Glee Club spring concert which was given April 6th the girls sang: Mah Lindy Lou — Lily Strickland, I Bring You Heartsease — Gene Branscomb. The girls sang for the Civic Section of the Woman ' s Club for their program about the subject of Beautifying the City . The songs that were sung pertained to nature. The girls have certainly enjoyed Avorking under the supervision of Miss Haubold and appreciate everything she has done for them. Sara Jane and Edwina are both seniors this year and they will be greatly missed next year, however, Mary Kathryn has still two more years to sing in the trio. The trio has enjoyed its work immensely this year and hope that it may be continued. Seventy-four. nfil: %. R A V E L I N G S GLEE CLUB Front Row: Evelyn Reber, Eileen Byerly. Mary Kathryn TyniJall.

It creates a spirit of rivalry between the boys and girls in which all try to see who can do the most yelling. The boys send forth their cheers from the east end of the gym on the north side. To be a member of this organiza- tion, the initiation fee is the purchase of a season basketball and football ticket. The dues require that a member be at every game to root for the boys to win. The basketball and football fellows are always taken into the organization as honorary members. The membership of the club is made up of about seventy-five members. The following officers were selected at the first meeting: Hubert Stults, president; Carl Buffenbarger, vice- president ; Gerald Strickler, secretary ; Charles Cloud, treasurer. Carl Sheets and Marion Baker were elected as yell leaders and they did their job to a tee this year. A group of the fellows at one of the games all agreed to bring some- thing that would really make a noise. All that could be heard that night in the gym was the blowing of tiny horns, the ringing of bells, and, of course, in the distance could be heard the band playing some tune that could not be distinguished because of the racket made by the Howling- Hosts.

PEP CHAMPS The Pep Champs again were suc-cessful in encouraging athletics among the girls. During the basketball season the organization completely filled the girls ' section of the gymnasium, where its enthusiasm for the team did its best to bring victory. This organization has as its purpose the promotion of school spirit in athletics. The only reciuirement for membership is the purchase of a season ticket for either the football or basketball games. At the beginning of the school year of 1932, the Pep Champs held a re-organization meeting for the election. of officers and the choosing of a guardian. Miss Jeanette Clark remained as guardian for the ensuing year. Laura Christen was elected president : Mildred Acker, vice-president ; Mar- garet Campbell, secretary ; and Mary Kohls, treasurer. In the fall a dance was eriven at the Masonic Hall for the public after the Central football game. The girls also have a candy stand at the high school to defray the expenses of girls ' basketball. A special Christmas candy drive was made before the holidays when boxes of Christmas candy were sold. The Pep Champs have helped to sponsor the gii ' ls ' basketball teams since 1929, have successfully done so this year, and hope to do so next year. Seventy-seven. % ■ ' kv-4? , ;«:: m ?■•«§ H tiV .

SODALITAS LATINAS Sodalitas Latinas was reorganized this year in order to further in- terest in the study of Latin among its students. Approximately ninety students became members. Minnie Moyer was elected consul; Evelyn Kohls, pro-consul ; Gertrude Brandyberry, scriptor ; Waldo Grey, praetor. Last year Sodalitas Latinas sponsored the Latin contest and they spon- sored another this year. Last year Dorothy Summers won the freshman contest in our high school and later she also won the county. Dorothy, along with Mary Grace Zimmerman and Minnie Moyer, who won the fourth year contest at our high school, represented us at the state contest in Muncie. The first meeting this year was in charge of the juniors and seniors. Two plays, In Gallia and The Judgment of Paris , were presented. A Latin vocabulary contest was held which was won by Helen Gay and Dorothy Summers. The next meeting was in charge of William Elston whom the sopho- mores had chosen to be king. The meeting was in keeping with the Roman Saturnalia, as their gift day was called. The fourth and last meeting was in charge of the juniors and seniors. They initiated the freshmen at that time. At this time hopes were ex- tended to a successful future for Sodalitas Latinas. Seventy-eight.

The organization sponsored all commercial contests which the school entered. The former members of the club met for the first meeting of the year on September 19, 1932, in Miss McCrory ' s room. The following officers were chosen : Oscar Werling, president ; Miriam Haley, vice-president ; and Edgar Werling, secretary and treasurer. Miss McCrory and Mr. Anderson were on deck again as sponsors of the club. A committee of three was then appointed by the president to secure new members for the club. To be eligible for membership, a student must include two commercial sub- jects in his schedule, and must receive an average of B plus. The first party of the year was a Christmas party on December 13 Many games and contests were played and the entertainment came to a climax with the appearance of Santa Claus with gifts for all. Nearly all members were present and everyone seemed to enjoy himself immensely. The organization sponsored a Chapel program, and was verv fortunate m securing Mr. Jonas Tritch, principal of International Business College, as a speaker. His talk was very interesting and inspiring to everyone. Both the members and sponsors feel that this year has been one of the most successful years and are confident of a larger, stronger, and better organization next year. Seventy-nine.
