EDICATION WE, THE SENIOR CLASS of 1936, dedicate this edition of the Ravelings to the founders of Decatur, who so unselfishly spent themselves and their possessions to transform the primeval forests into fruitful fields, thus blazing the trail for succeeding generations.

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.
