FORWARD A HUNDRED YEARS AGO, a small band of pioneers settled in the area which is now Decatur. With a bright vision to the future, they gallantly struggled against many difficulties to establish a suitable habitation for them- selves and their posterity. Although they have passed on, their efforts have been rewarded in Decatur ' s reaching the one hundredth year of its existence. This is an important milestone in the history of the town, and we wish to record this memorable event by using it as the theme for our year- book. In its early stages Decatur consisted of a grist mill, gen- eral store, church, log school, and a few simple dwellings.

BOOK ONE Administration Classes The school was a one-room log structure with plank seats, oiled paper windows, and a wood burning stove. Contrasting this, Decatur now has paved streets, modern school buildings, various recreational facilities, and the mod- ern utilities of light and water. It is reputed to be the best lighted town in Indiana. Decatur also has several modei ' n industries. It claims the distinction of having a sugar beet factory, the only one of its kind in the state. Decatur has thus emerged from an Indian inhabited wilderness to a prosperous town, and we feel that the past hundred years have truly been a Century of Progress.
