r Commercial Club , . Again this year, the Commercial Club met for its twenty-fourth year of organization. The first thing ac- complished was the election of officers. Those elected were Mary Alice Bein- eke, president; Bill Whittredge, vice president; Wanda Busse, secretary; and Lois Chronister, treasurer. Some of the activities for the year included the publishing of the gossip column, better known as the Gab- Fest. Those in charge of presenting this little tidbit were Mary Lou Robin- son, editor-in-chief; Ted Hill and Phil Thomas, assistant editors. Also the sponsoring of a chapel program, fea- turing Jesse Phillips Robertson and his Song Hits of 1945, B. C, was an enjoyable feature of the j ear. Then too, one of the nicest activities which the Commercial Club with the aid of the Glee Club presented was the semi- formal dance held March 22, in the auditorium. The music was furnish- ed by Woody Neff ' s orchestra frcrn Fort Wayne. This eventful and prosperous year was further made possible by the club ' s sponsors, Mr. Hetrick and Mr. Millikan, who so capably guided our ways in the business world. Busy. Girls?

,INGS BUSINESS MANAGERS Karl Kolter Medford Smith Mary Leitz SNAPSHOT EDITORS Dale Smitley Jerry Ketchum ART EDITORS Hubert Feasel SPORT EDITORS Tom Ahr Ted Hill Joan Cowan It has been the policy of Decatur High School to let its students manage the publishing of the year- book, and this policy has been carried out to no less degree this year than before. However, all the Staff heartily agree that the assistance of Miss Worthman, Staff Advisor and director of the af- fairs of business, Mr. Smith, director of photog- raphy, Mr. Hetrick, typing director, and Miss Weidler, proofreader, were invaluable. We of the Staff hope the splotlight has given you a clearer picture of D. H. S. and that its beam may never fade from your memory.
