Seniors The first activity of the senior class of ’55 was to elect officers. Dana Dalzell was elected president; Fred McDougal, vice-president; Anita Smith, secretary; and Stanley Allison, treasurer. The first activity which the seniors sponsored was the Student Day Sale. With the help and co-operation of the whole student body, the senior class made more money this year than any other senior class has ever made. Many students also received permanent jobs from this project. After the first home football game the seniors sponsored a dance in the gym. During the basketball season the seniors also sponsored a dance called the “Senior Sno-Ball.” During the fall the seniors visited the Court House as part of their citizenship training. The duties of the various county officials were explained to them and they also saw the grand jury receive its charge from the judge. In February a trip was taken to Indianapolis where they saw the state legislature in action. The tour through the State House added much in making the trip interesting, as well as educational. Many seniors took part in the operetta, “Harmony Hall,” which everyone agreed was a success. One of the high-lights of the year was the Junior-Senior Prom. The Juniors did a wonderful job of planning and decorating around the theme, “Somewhere Over the Rainbow.” They made the Prom something that all the seniors w ill remember for a long time as one of the outstanding events of their high school career. Baccalaureate services were held on May 22 with Reverend Virgil W. Sexton of the Meth¬ odist Church giving the message. The Senior Banquet was held on May 23. Everyone had a good time dressing up as a secret desire or ambition. The final event of the year and the event towards which the seniors had been moving all year was Commencement. Dr. Harold W. Richardson, president of Franklin College, gave a wonderful speech, and then Mr. Irwin presented the seniors with their diplomas. The Com¬ mencement dance followed after graduation. After the dance entertainment was provided throughout the night by various civic organizations. Each senior has many wonderful memories, not only of his senior year, but of his whole high school career at Decatur High. It is a heritage to be proud of and work for.
