Ultra! PAUL NEIDIGH We always knew when Paul changed his shirt because he was always without a pencil on the next day. He played on the football team. too. EILEEN ODLE Blacky helped out a lot in the office; and whenevei ' you saw a teacher looking tor Eileen, you knew that Eileen would have some more stencils to cut or some dittos to run off. A great help. Eileen. ROBERT OWENS Bol) liked the good old summer time far better than winter because he appreciated a visit at the lake. We hear that he really has tech- nique when he hauls his fish in. LOUIS REINKING Louie was our speed demon. No, it ' s not in driving but in typing — • More rapid than eagles his fingers, they flew. We ' re mighty proud of him. HELEN ROOP Helen wants to be a beauty operator. We think she ' d make a good one because we ' d ad- mire one of the non-gossiping type. Please roll this curl a little tighter. Helen. CHARLES ROSS, JR. Red had a little trouble with his sentences in senior English class, but he was a hard work- er. Someday he wants to be an engineer. ANNABELLE RUPERT Annabelle always liked to drive to school. Sometimes she could be seen in a blue Chevrolet and at others in a black Ford. But we heard she was a very good driver. WILLIAM SCHNEPP Bill pitched, oh no, not woo. but balls on our baseball team. He was one of our tall heroes — 6 feet, 2 inches, in fact. How about it, girls ' : ' lONA SCHNEPP lona had an interesting hobby. She was very good at knitting, and she made many of her own clothes. You should teach the rest of us how, lona. ROBERT SCHNITZ Bob always had the correct mathematical calculations for everything right on the tip of his tongue so that Mr. Brown would not be bothered with having to look them up. RALPH SCOTT Ralph was kept busy on the Ravelings Staff; and sometimes we thought he wasn ' t going to get his work in on time, but he always managed. Did you recognize him in the German Band ' ? VIRGINIA SHADY Gini was everyone ' s friend. She took care of the candy stand and for some reason always seemed to draw a crowd. Which bar ' s the best, Virginia ? VIRGINIA SHOAF Virginia, a quiet efficient little miss, stood high in the sight of her superiors. She was one of Mr. Anderson ' s advanced shorthanders. RICHARD SCHAFER Dick slung hash in his spare time down at that famous People ' s Restaurant, and we will admit that he could sling pretty good hamburgers. He always kept up-to-date on the news for Mr. Brown ' s sake. LEWIS SHOE Ootsie , the woman hater, influenced many of our football and basketball games. He was always trying t o turn our team into one similar to the House of David team. He was president of the Howling Hosts. Eighteen

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.

H. S. in football, basketball, and last, but not least, baseball. He was a good sport about it all whether his team won or lost. We all think he ' ll make a swell coach.

We don ' t blame you, Betty; we ' re just jealous because we haven ' t one to take care of. WILLIAM SPAHR Bill was usually standing on his head try- ing to get odd snap shots for the Ravelings. Ex- cellent finished products, eh what? He usually succeeded in getting out of almost any class he wished. ROBERT STALTER We heard that Bob did good work in the CCC camp last summer; and from his work in school, we have no doubt about it. He is also a whiz on roller skates. CLARENCE STAPLETON Stape was still another football and basket- ball addict. We all thrilled to see him sink those baskets, and he certainly will be missed next year. Won ' t he, Little Stape ? HELEN STEELE Helen took an active interest in her school work and even seemed to enjoy it at times. We hope she is as successful in the future as she has been thus far. MARY STEELE When it came to beating a drum. Mary really knew how. She played in the band throughout her high school years and we ap- preciated those booms . THOMAS SUMMERS Tommy was a swell scout. Whenever there was any work to be done, he was right on the job even though he was slightly bashful. LUCY ANN TERRELL Lucy Ann came to us from Lancaster School in Huntington County. We are very glad to wel- come her as a graduate of our class; and we hope you liked our school, Lucy. JACK TRICKER Jack , as well as taking part in the senior play, acted as one of our yell leaders this year. We are all yelling for his future success with a zis, boom, bah! ANNA JANE TYNDALL Anna Jane could always be found at all the football, baseball, and basketball games. Why? She is talented in music even though she plans to be a nurse. MARY WEBER Mary hopes to be a public speaker after she graduates this year, and she had a lot of fun practicing on the students of D. H. S. On to bigger and better speeches, Mary. ROBERT WOODHALL Killer had a terrible time convincing Mr. Anderson that he really could use only three fingers on one hand in typing. Even with this handicap, he seemed to get along O. K. ETHEL WORTHMAN We ' ll have to hand it to Ethel. She really borrowed in a swell way in our senior class play. Ethel thought enough of our school to come In every morning from Preble. MARY WORTHMAN Mary was another amI)itious person who came from Preble, and we aie glad that she could see fit to help us out here in Decatur. Although she was rather quiet, she did what she was sup- posed to do. KATHRYN YAGER Kay came to us from the school in South Bend, and the minute she came she seemed to fit right in with the rest of us. She demonstrat- ed her ability and talents when she played one of the leading parts in the sen ior class play. HUBERT ZERKEL Zeke was one of our heroes when it came to being high point man in basketball. Did you know that he was right half-back on our football team and was president of the Commercial Club, too? Nineteen
