She was a great basketball enthusiast. She proved the old adage, Good things come in small packages. MARJORY DRUM Marjory had to have the misfortune of an appendectomy in her senior year; but things like that, I guess, can ' t be helped. JACK EADY Jake has that slow, lazy drawl and easy step characteristic of a true Southern gentleman, even if he isn ' t. We hear he ' s rather partial to a certain chubby. South-end gal too. Can ' t say as we blame you, Jake. NINA EICHAR Nina was always trying to collect for Schol- astics. We never found out if she s ucceeded or not. She was one of Mr. Anderson ' s targets for tough questions in shorthand. MARJORY FOUGHTY Marjory has a pleasing personality, and this statement can be proved if you will just walk in- to the 5 and 10c store and have her serve you. RAYMOND FRANZ When you order rolls from the bakery, more than likely Raymond will deliver them. You might mistake him for a grade boy. but he just never grew tall. VERA FRAUHIGER Vera was tops on the basketball floor which is shown by the fact that she was ciiosen to serve her class in that capacity for many years. She always measured up to all expectations, too. MARION FRIEDT Marion played on our football team and served the community by delivering local papers. Is writing themes fun, Marion? WANDA FRY Wanda will probably some day be giving guitar lessons to all the little kiddies in the vicin- ity of Decatur. She really can beat out a mean lick of guitar strummin ' , too. Of course there ' s that nice young man at Berne, too. EVANGELINE FUHRMAN Van usually had to run to get to school on time; but when she did arrive, there was never a hair out of place. She was one of those from the Glee Club who went to Fort Wayne to sing under the direction of Noble Cain. KENNETH GAUNT Kenny stood Ijy D. H. S. in football, basket- ball, and baseball. He was always in there fight- ing, and we all thought a lot of him. HARRIET GILSON Harriet helped to make the senior class play a success by her characterization of Penny . She also assisted Mr. Sellemeyer in the band with her drums. RUTH GRETHER Ruth upheld the Grether characteristic inas- much as she was always on the honor roll. She assisted Virginia in the candy stand whenever she was needed. RAYMOND HAKES Raymond did what he was supposed to do and very efficiently indeed .We need a few more like him. LA VERE HAKEY LaVere was another excellent helper, and we all appreciate the time and effort put forth by him. Fifteen

The Glamour JOHN ACHESON Jud was vice-president of the Color Wlieel Club, and he was interested in art. He came here from Willshire in his sophomore year. KATHRYN AFFOLDER Kate was one of oui- tiny girls in the class. Her engaging smile and cheei-y disposition made her one swell person. ARDIS BRINTZENHOFE Ardis, although she was always rather quiet, could never be caught without her lessons. We think it ' s a record she can well be proud of. ROGER ARNOLD Roger had what was known as the Roger Arnold Pencil Corporation, Incorporated. It surely came in handy when we absent-minded people forgot ours. MARY JANE BEERY Janey always had a smile for everybody. Her main interests were art, shorthand, dancing, and Bluffton. RUTH BEINEKE Ruth was an important figure in the band; for not only did she play bass in that organiza- tion, but she acted as its treasurer also. Nice work, we ' d say. ROBERT BOCH Three Loves Has Nancy and Bob had two. We mean airplanes and Van Wert. We hope it doesn ' t end up in bigamy. DONALD BOHNKE Don made his letter in tennis and proved to be outstanding because of consistent practice. That ' s the way to do it. FLORENCE BRANDYBERRY Florency was one of our best girl athletes, and we could always depend upon her when it came to sports. SYLVAN BRUNNER Sylvan kept the windows of the Economy Department Store shining when he wasn ' t slav- ing away at his studies. WILLIAM BUCK Bill and Mv. Brown tried to keep the civics class from getting dull by arguing over problems of current interest. BARBARA BURK Burky was one of the few people in school who was blessed with beautiful black hair. She will certainly be a wonderful secretary, for her al)ility in taking shorthand is astounding. JERRY CARPER Jerry was an outstanding member of the Glee Club, and his rich tenor voice helped to car- ry this organization to bigger and better concerts. JAMES CHRISTEN Jim , as president of the senior class, was kept busy trying to corral us seniors and at the same time be every place he was needed. Con- gratulations, Jim! ANNABELLE DOAN Anne look part in our junior class play and was always interested in dramatics. She has a nice personality, and she seemed to enjoy her school work. Fourteen

)agacious, BETTY HAMMA Betty was one of our small frys and a very nice one at that. We don ' t blame her because we don ' t like spinach either. JAMES HIGHLAND Big Jim made himself very well known since he was one of the mainstays on the foot- ball, baseball, and basketball teams. GILBERT HOFFMAN Gillie had all the earmarks of developing into a star basketliall player when he had to give it up for something less strenuous. Ask Don Bohuke; he usually held up the othei- end of the conversation. MARGARET HOFFMAN Margaret was an all around athletic girl with a personality smile. She was Speedy on the basketball floor and a Whiz at tennis. Nice work if you can do it. BETTY HUNTER Betts was one of our Hollywood actresses in the senior class play. She seemed to enjoy it all, even the pranks. Whenever there was an added English assignment, she was always ready to take it. FRED HOFFMAN Ask the girls around D. H. S. who Fred Hoff- man is; and after many soulful sighs and fluttering of eyelids, it will come to light that he is that tall, tan, terrific specimen who never gives the fair sex even a passing glance. What has Killer got that we haven ' t? WILLIAM HUNTER I know you are all acquainted with Bill , especially after seeing his performance in the play, Growing Up. It was appropriate, wasn ' t it? Be careful, Bill, some day Jim ' s going to mow you down. ROBERT KENWORTHY Bob is the strong, silent type, going a- bout doing what is asked of him with never a complaint. RUTH KIMBLE Although Ruth was shy, this by no means detracted from her ability when it came to play- ing basketball. Intelligent, she was also, in the classroom. FREDERICK KIRSCH f red is one of the most straightforward persons we ' ve seen in a long time. His sincerity commanded everyone ' s admiration. KATHERINE KNAPP Katy was always on the honor roll and was always willing to donate her talent for our pro- grams. On to DePauw, Katherine. HELEN JEANE KOHLS Helen Jean also added her aijility to our D. H. S. band; and although we think she would rather have been in Bluffton she did swell work for Decatur. GUY KOOS Guy hails from the South End of town. But this isn ' t his only place of abode; he serves the public at a local grocery store. He is noted for his rollicking nonsense. FLORA MARIE LANKENAU Gus took part in the junior play, and she did so well that she was selected to help direct the senior class play. I wonder who that could be. Mr. Brown said that someone with the initials P. L. was talking in the gymnasium. DARWIN LEITZ Dar along with The Big Four enjoyed cold weather swims. He was the Paderewski of our class inasmuch as he played in that famous Ted Mann ' s Band.
