)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.

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

Sophisticated Seniors EVELYN LOBSIGER Although Evelyn was small in stature, she was a very ardent worker and a loyal booster for D. H. S. She and Wanda Fry were insepar- able. ROBERT MALONEY Bob played on our football team. It yoti are looking for him. he can usually be found buzzing around in his little gray coupe. ELVA JANE MARTIN Elva seemed to like her typing and short- hand, and we have every reason to believe that she would make a very good stenographer. MARJORIE MASSONNE Midge was our 100% girl throughout her high school career, and we are proud of her. Could it be that she studied? LEONARD MERRYMAN Leonard was always popular at dances since he was up-to-date on all the latest steps. He worked hard and tried to be friendly with every- one. LA VERA MEYER LaVera left the senior class befor e gradua- tion, and we were sorry to lose her. She was always jolly and friendly in all situations. GLADYS MILLER Daisy ran her legs off as Editor-in-Chief of the Ravelings. and we all agree that she had that certain something that helped to put it over in a big way. HARRIET MILLER Harriet was always inclined to be on the bashful side; and she, too, was troubled with illness during her senior year. She was the type of person who would do anything to help others. FAYE MAULLER The teachers had some difficulty at first with these Mauller twins. Faye and Mae were so similar that they usually had to say, I mean the one with the dark hair, when talking to Faye. MAX MOSER Yes. maybe Max did get a wee bit sleepy at times; but if there ever was a person who had a sense of humor, it was he although he didn ' t like to admit it. MAE MAULLER Mae was one of our best honor roll students. Every time someone said that she wished she had red hair, she always added, like Mae MauUer ' s WILLIAM MELCHI Bill played on the tennis team. Even though he is small of stature, with that red hair and his smile, he is sure to acquire future success. MARTHA MYERS Mart was president of the Pep Champs this year; and she had a good knack of putting that pep, vim, and vigor into those gals. Martha, are you chewing gum? FLORENCE McCONNELL Flo was in the junior class play and help- ed direct the senior play. She proved to us that she had talent when she won the Psi Iota XI short story contest.
