SENIOR CLASS HISTORY Year 1931 On September 2, seventy freshmen entered Decatur High School to become acquainted with the higher phases of education. By midyear they had made a total of one hundred and two in their ranks. The class organized and elected the following: Miss Wertenberger, sponsor; Paul Strickler, president; Mary Cowan, vice-president; Marion Baker, trea- surer. The class was given a real start by the officers, and it came through the freshman year with flying colors. Year 1932 There were eighty sophomores who returned to their second year of high school work. They started the year by electing the following off- icers: James Cowan, president; Gerald Strickler, vice-president; Vir- ginia Miller, secretary ; Margaret Campbell, treasurer. Mr. Dorwin was at the same time chosen sponsor of the class. The year rolled by rapidly because of the great variety of activities including the parties, examinations, and sports. Year 1933 After a summer ' s vacation, the class undertook the difficult task of assuming the duties of upperclassmen. They met and elected the follow- ing officers: Marion Baker, president; Ida Mae Steele, vice-presi- dent ; Glen Dickerson, secretary ; Gertrude Brandyberry, treasurer. Miss Whalen was chosen as class guardian, a position which she care- fully executed. The class participated in all school activities and was well represented in scholarship. Those on the football squad were : Glen Dickerson, Charles Ehinger, William Sanders, Gerald Strickler, Burt Townsend, and David Wynn. The class was represented on the basketball squad by James Cowan, Gerald Eady, Charles Ehinger, Ned Moser, William Sanders, Gerald Strickler, Paul Strickler, David Wynn, and trainer, Burt Townsend. The girls participating in basketball were: Mildred Acker, Gertrude Brandyberry, Ruth Foughty, Pauline Hakey, Ida Mae Steele, and Thelma Whitright. The class was also proud that one of its members, Marion Baker, was elected yell leader of the high school. Wilma Andrews, Margaret Campbell, Mary Cowan, Marjorie De- Voss, Virginia Dolch, Charles Ehinger, Kathryn Engeler, Ruth Fough- ty, Marcella Gilbert, Mildred Hesher, Josephine Ivetich, Esther Koenemann, Barbara Krick, Mary Meyer, Helena Rayl, Ida Mae Steele, and Max Zimmerman represented the class on the honor roll. The junior class, on April 20, presented the play, Be Yourself , which was given under the able direction of Miss Whalen. On May 12, the junior-senior reception was given. The class felt sure that after all its experience it could handle the position of seniors with due reserve and dignity.
