R. A. ADAMS SIGURD ANDERSON HUGH ANDREWS HARRY D. DAILEY DEANE DORWIN GLENNIS ELZEY SYLVESTER L. EVERHART ELIZABETH FRISINGER HELEN HAUBOLD KATHRYN KAUFFMAN These Must Be The freshmen knew very little about the members of Decatur High ' s faculty. On the first day of school, Mr. Brown introduced the teachers individually. After they became better acquaint- ed with the students, the teachers got along very well with nearly all the scholars. Each teacher has his or her subject; let ' s learn more about them. Then too, algebra and physical education are in the line of duty to jovial Andy . Mr. Dailey: Mr. Dailey chose a wife for his Christmas present. In Decatur High he teaches physics and higher mathematics. In the spring of the year Harry Dailey ' s thoughts turn to the tennis team. Mr. Adams: The serious gentleman from South First Street. In D. H. S. his favorite haunts are the chemistry lab., biology room, and the geometry room. All those subjects are right down his alley. Mr. Dorwin: Now, isn ' t he the sober one? But definitely Mr. Deane Dorwin is a good history teacher and baseball coach. His efforts at assist- ing in the coaching of football and basketball were certainly not fruitless. Mr. Anderson : FFF space, JJJ space. Aw, this drives me nuts, quoth the beginner in typ- ing. This and the groans of shorthand students are old to Mr. Anderson. He was the Ravelings ad- visor and had a hand in the Commercial Club. He also put over the junior class play. In fact, he was the dir- ector and writer of it. Mr. Andrews: The good-natured Mr. An- drews coaches the D. H. S. Yellow Jackets. Miss Elzey: Words just don ' t rate with Miss Elzey. It ' s next to an impossibility to talk your way out of the library or have her take off some seventh periods. There ain ' t no justice. Mr. Everhart: This year ' s eighth grade basketball team was exceptionally tough. And why not? Look who ' s the coach. It is Mr. Ever- hart. Besides this, the teaching of health and safety and physical education keeps him busy. Miss Frisinger: If everybody would forget about Latin, I ' d feel much better. This is the idle chatter of Latin students addressed to Miss Frisinger. She also teaches English to the sev- enth and eighth graders. Ten

MANN the Teachers ♦» Miss Haubold: All who participate in vocal music in D. H. S. seem to enjoy it. This is un- usual, but one look at Miss Haubold explains it. Miss Kauffman: Kauffman plus paint plus brush. This composes color in a literal sense for Decatur High School. And well it should ; Miss Kauffman is the art teacher in this institution. Mr. Ketchum: The man with the hammer and saw: He constructs new articles and repairs the old. The manual training class is under his guidance. Miss Lewton: A lady of literature is she. The teaching of English to the three upper class- es in the senior division keeps her very much oc- cupied. Mr. Millikan: Those who make up seventh periods in the noon hour are under Mr. MiUikan ' s guidance. All questions on bookkeeping are dir- ected to him. Teaching mathematics is his duty also. He ' s quite a jokester, too. Mr. Mumma: No, freshmen, he isn ' t a fellow student. Mr. Mumma is an English teacher. If you enroll in business English, you will have him as your instructor. Miss Pumphrey: When the fems of D. H. S. wanted exercise, they entered Miss Pumphrey ' s physical ed. class. The Pep Champs followed her instructions and fared well. Mr. Sellemeyer: Three bands hath Decatur, and Mr. Sellemeyer directs them all. All unex- cused absentees quake at the sight of Selley. Mr. Smith : The motion picture camera is operated by Mr. Smith. Oh, of course, he teaches history and geography. Miss Worthman: Ah, the aroma has me drizzling at the mouth already. It ' s no wonder; Miss Worthman presides over the dishes in the home economics room. Mrs. Kern: Gee, that lady ' s busy. I don ' t believe Mr. Brown ' s office would be the same without her. Be- ing the principal ' s sec- retary keeps Mrs. Kern busy. Mr. Mann : An old hand at teaching is Mr. Mann. Still teach- ing at D. H. S. is a novelty to him. His- tory rates with this J man. Eleven
