A class sets a new high in scholastic standards. An organization reaches a goal. An ac¬ tivity is an overwhelming success. A foot¬ ball player makes a new yardage record. The graduating class exceeds all previous ones in size. Homonymous to these records is the re¬ corded material, the backbone of our en¬ tire medium of education. We write into a book to preserve the material. This book contains the outstanding records of the 1963-64 school year at D.H.S., but perhaps it also contains your secret ones. We hope that we have recorded a record year¬ book—the 1964 Ravelings! Tom Baxter, Editor The 1963-64 school year has marked the retirement of one of Decatur High ' s finest teachers. Mr. Dailey has not only been an excellent and well-qualified teacher, but a hard-working golf coach, and a helpful friend to the student. Showing a personal concern for his students, we will never for¬ get the way he imparted knowledge and philosophy. The Ravelings Mr. Amos Ketchum Mr. Harry Dailey Staff Honors Also retiring, versatile Mr. Ketchum has handled both the disciplinary branch of our school and the student ' s governmental body, the student council. He has a reputation for exacting fairness and honesty which en¬ hances his ability for those two important functions as well as his industrial arts classes. 3 North Adams School Board NORTH ADAMS COMMUNITY SCHOOLS BOARD OF EDUCATION: Superintendent; Herbert N. Banning, President; Louis Krueckeberg, Dr. James Burk; Clarence Bultemeier, Secretary; Gail Grabill, Vice-President; Richard J. Macklin, Treasurer. For more than eighty years the Decatur High School operated as a part of the School City of Decatur. As of July 3, 1963, it is now operated as a part of the North Adams Com¬ munity Schools. During this more than eighty years, seniors have graduated from different buildings, which were used as the high school building. Planning is now going on so that students graduated from Decatur and the surrounding community can graduate from another high school. It is the superintendent ' s desire and that of the Board of School Trustees that the aca¬ demic standards obtained over the many years can be transferred to the new high school. Also, other areas of training must now be made available to the student, now not possible because of building limitations. This process of new building requirements for meeting the present day educational re¬ quirements has existed before as the high school has moved to different buildings since the original one. The over-all administrative set-up will re¬ main the same with but very few exceptions. The corporation will be operated under a five man board instead of three. The powers and duties of the board remain the same and and changed only as the state legislature changes them. The main responsibilities of providing buildings, equipment, and a track¬ ing force are the same as those of the origi¬ nal school board many years ago. 6 Principal Hugh Andrews Superintendent Gail Grabill Since the theme of this year ' s Ravelings is Records, may I, as principal, emphasize this from the viewpoint of the administration. Every day you are making for yourself some kind of record. On each new day you are adding something to the account of the days gone by. When you graduate, you leave with us a certain kind of cumulative record—excellent, good, poor, or indifferent. This includes scholarship, as indicated by your grades; your dependability, as indi¬ cated by your attendance, punctuality, and preparation of lessons; your school citizen¬ ship, as indicated by the way you get along with your schoolmates, teachers, and of¬ ficials. The administration must pass this, your record, on as colleges or e mployers request it. This record is very convincing! The depth of any program of a school re¬ flects the desire of the community. The edu¬ cational needs change as the social and economical needs change. The school must constantly be aware of the community edu¬ cational requirements. Thus local participa¬ tion and effort by the entire community is necessary for a good school. A good school is not only an asset to a community, but re¬ flects the attitude of the community toward education. Changes will come rapidly in the near fu¬ ture. The administration, faculty, and parents must work together for a good education for the students of tomorrow. I feel confident this will be accomplished and graduating students will go forward with the necessary training for making a living and being an asset in the community of their choice. 7 MERRITT J.

Theq Make Learning More Fun In every department the subjects become more vivid when the student is able to see and hear graphic embodiments of his studies. Through the many devices of the audio-visual department classes are enabled to see their field being applied in industry, services, and community life throughout the world. No longer limited by the materials readily ac¬ cessible to the individual teacher, the learn¬ ing process has been expanded and broad¬ ened to include heretofore unavailable equip¬ ment. Films, the overhead projector, tape record¬ ers, slide projectors, television, and the new language laboratory have facilitated the study of every subject, whether it be aca¬ demic, commercial, or general. Eager students have found the lessons easier to grasp, and those who must be prodded enjoyed the enter¬ taining facets of audio-visual education. Mr. Clayton uses the daylight projection box. Vour Problems Are Their’s As the growth of the school proceeds, the services and interests of the students is ex¬ panded; to provide an evaluation of the stu¬ dent and his talents and capabilities, and thus to instruct him in the available fields, this year D.H.S. has added a guidance de¬ partment to its faculty. Through this service, students are aided in the selection of their courses, their activities, their further training, and even their vocations and jobs. Having been specially trained to pro¬ vide guidance for young men and women, the counsellors have not only helped stu¬ dents select their studies and further train¬ ing, but have also offered their cooperation in procuring admissions and scholarships for the college bound. A C A D E M I C Expression—Language Arts English 9,10,11,12 Speech Journalism French 1,2 German Latin 1,2 Library Some Hammy senior boys give an interesting entertainment speech. This is how they dressed in Shakespeare ' s day. Through the ages man has recorded his ideas first in pictures, and finally in words with the use of language. It is our ability to communicate these ideas to people, whether through themes, poetry, speech, dramatic readings, journalism, books, or in the study of foreign languages, that will play a vital role in our future advancement. Perhaps no other subject demands so much learning in so little times as the study of our own language—the huge and varied study of literature, the building tools, grammar, and the creative composition. Speech class develops our English skills, but specializes in composition, voice, gesticu¬ lation, and involvement. Contests, plays, dra¬ matics, pantomime, and radio announcing make this course particularly interesting. A well deserved salute goes to the mem¬ bers of the Jacket Journal staff for working hard to print an interesting, progressive rec¬ ord of daily school life through journalism. The library and study halls provide the student a well supervised haven for study and thought. 14 Eager students take knowledge from shelves Rotary Speech Contest Winners American Legion Speech Contest Winner District Winner Zone Winner State - Fourth Hard workers put the Jacket Journal to press. John Custer Alan Kalver Jane Burk One of the student ' s most satisfying achievements is learning to speak a for¬ eign language. In order to peacefully co¬ exist with other nations it is imperative that we learn as much about these peoples as we can. Surely learning their language, and thus some of their history and char¬ acteristics, is the best way to accomplish a close familiarity. Astronauts? No, French students in the lab. Ugh! Me puer! You puella! German—the newest language at DHS. 16 Man’s Record—Social Studies Civics Sociology United States History World History In no study are records as important as those in the social sciences. Re cord¬ ing every act of man in every field, they present a concept of political and ethnic heritages from which to build a better world. To carry on the tradition of learning from the works of other nations and other cultures, modern man makes use of all the utilities at his disposal. Using tools of the times, the story of history is told as vividly today as though it were current news. Indeed, some of it is only the repetition of former times, and knowing the story of other types of gov¬ ernment, other ways of civilization, the students of tomorrow can evaluate the world they will create. : 1 j if j; j| , Iff «jj8 The Math and Sciences— Physics Chemistry Physical Science Biology College Algebra Trigonometry Algebra 1,2 Plane Geometry General Mathematics Judy and John use one of Trig’s big instruments. 18 KINGDOM PHYLUM CLASH ■MHAPTgi r«tPS;FT 5 t OOQHA TA p-.itorrn « nr. fiur ' XI From Frogs to Formulas George Gordon entered this year ' s science fair. John and Margaret take observations from the gas-law apparatus in Physics lab. Carol and Diane prove a geometrical theorem. Every time a satellite encircles the earth, a farmer reaps his crops, or a child brushes his teeth, the process used has been developed and improved by the studies of science and mathematics, and every time a scientist is produced, he has been encouraged and strengthened by a faculty and department like those of D.H.S. Offering the latest in scientific theories and practices, the science course has been ex¬ panded to a four year program to encom¬ pass all of the major fields, as well as a gen¬ eral study. Working hand in hand with science, math each year increases in its difficulty, preparing students to group the concepts of a highly technical world and to adapt the scientific principles to practical use.

Mrs. Clayton—student teacher at DHS. At Decatur High School, the business educa¬ tion department rises to meet the demands of industries, both preparing students to enter office capacities immediately after graduation and stimulating others to further their training to meet the requirements in the advanced mechanization of current processes. Working to equip each student to offer practical ex¬ periences and the theoretical knowledge to his prospective employer, the department had, through the years, managed to main¬ tain a standard flying high above the average. Selling class makes the halls more interesting. 20 Shop Welding Auto Mechanics Home Economics Mechanical Drawing Expanding-vocational Arts Some of the fine equipment and work done in shop class One of the primary functions of a high school is to prepare its graduates for em¬ ployment. The vocational arts courses help the student develop the practical skills and are in an increasingly greater demand each year. A school ' s worth is measured by how well it prepares all of its students. In shop class, the student learns how to use many tools and to make many things with them. Welding, and auto mechanics in the summer, offer more specific train¬ ing, while mechanical drawing is more or less theoretical. Of course we know the vital role home economics has in preparing for the prac¬ tical future. In the great thaw out age it is gratifying to see real efforts in home¬ making.

The Big “D” 22 The sophomore half of this year ' s Freshman-Sophomore Chorus. The music department aims to make a con¬ tribution to the cultural life of the school and community, as well as to give its students the opportunity to express themselves through the musical art, whether instrumentally or vocally. Highlights of this busy year of music were the combined music festival at Bluffton and the musical play, The Dreamer. We can be very proud of the musical education our stu¬ dents are receiving and happy to see such fine programs produced at our school. However, our musical groups 7 perform¬ ances all hinge on the ability of the individual, making musical knowledge a great asset for the future. Also needed is individual spirit and enthusiasm, a quality which often makes or breaks a musical group. Remember that school spirit includes all phases of school life and has the same effect for the musician. Make our fine musical organizations even better by giv¬ ing your support. The Dance Band: Richard Doty, Jean Swickard, Alan Zerkel, Marsha Sheets, Patty Collins, Tom Baxter, Karen Witte, Rick Humbles, Barbara Houk, Tim Singleton, Steve Doty, Dave Smith. 23 Expanding beyond limited conceptions of art as only drawing and painting, the art classes have also worked in such media as ceramics, wood, glassware, and textiles, as well as oils, chalks, pencils, water colors, and charcoal. The classes grasped new theories of structure and tone, depth and texture. Another graphic study related to artistic positioning is photography. To an alert pho¬ tographer shading and balance are as im¬ portant to the finished picture as the manipu¬ lation of the camera. Having studied both aesthetic qualities and practical care of the mechanism, photography students emerged as artists in their fields. Jim and Steve learn to use some of the photographers equipment.

Napoleon Bonaparte once said, Our body is a watch. Working on this premise, it is easy to note the similarity between the regu¬ larity of clockwork, and the functioning of body actions when the processes are trained to proceed properly and healthily. Like the artisans who make clocks, the teachers in charge of the physical strengthening of a stu¬ dent use great training and precision to de¬ velop their product. Applying the best of scientific principles, the instructors of physical education manipu¬ late the complicated mechanisms of bodies so that they will perform their best. In their work they stress not only the rigors of calisthenics, but also the joyous use of each student ' s body for his own recreation, for his relaxation in times of stress. With this reconditioning, the student learns to activate his body, to keep it running as smoothly as a finely made timepiece.

Christ is the Lord. Oh, praise His Name forever! His power and glory evermore proclaim. Gloria, gloria, gloria, Adoramus Domine. With the angel choir we pray, oh thou holy, oh thou joyful Christmas Day! DHS Commemorates Christmas And the shepherds said one to another: Let us go over to Bethlehem and see this word that is come to pass. When Jesus, therefore, was born in Bethlehem of Juda, in the days of King Herod, behold, there came wise men from the East to Jerusalem, saying: Where is he that is born King of the Jews? We have seen his star in the East and have come to adore him. And falling down they adored H im; and offered Him gifts: gold, frankincense and myrrh. n i ' 4 Emm 51 DH5 Takes an Assembly Brake Mr. Don Murphy shows Marilyn Knudsen a model of a complex hydro-carbon mole¬ cule whose formula is shown on the chart. Mr. Murphy presented a fasci¬ nating as well as educational program entitled, Frontiers of Biology. i Another educational but also interesting assembly program was the Space Sci¬ ence Demonstration, sponsored by the National Aeronautics and Space Admin¬ istration. The NASA representative is showing the relative sizes of our many types of rockets. The Ball State Choir, directed by Donald Neuen, provided one of our most entertaining programs. 52 Bonnie Hart, Jean Swickard, Margaret Kocher, and Barb Conrad assist Vic Hyde with his excitingly entertaining variety instrumental show, featuring multi-instrumental playing. Site Wm m i Vic Hyde tells Gary Schultz that you have to eat bananas side¬ ways before you can get your mouth to those horns. Sam Baumann introduced Rev. Charles Hill, one of many Decatur ministers who spoke this year. 1964 Prom—Fantasif of the Sea ■r ' ' p Carrying out the theme of Fantasy of the Sea, the junior class created a mermaid and her kingdom at the annual prom given in honor of the seniors. Upon entering the door of the ballroom, the prom guest viewed a mermaid, transplanted from her place in myths to recline upon a sandy isle in the Com¬ munity Center, guarding an enormous treas¬ ure chest, complete with the sparkling baubles pirated in the days of old. Around the room were other signs of the motif, giant seahorses on the walls, huge nets suspended from the ceiling, and over everything, the green and blue lights to lend an atmosphere of oceanic depths. Dancing amidst such marinal surroundings, the stalwart figures of the men and the gra¬ cious, lovely fashions of the girls created an image that would have been enjoyed by Po¬ seidon himself. Even teachers have fun at the prom! 54 The 1 964 senior and junior class officers: Alan Kalver, Margaret Kocher, Gary Schultz, Sally Schnepf, Bob DeVoss, Mari¬ lyn Harman, Jerry Egly, Jane Jacobs. Gracefully dancing couples enjoy the ex¬ cellent music provided at this year ' s prom. I wonder what the girls about while we ' re jugglinc and two cups? Anxiously awaiting the entertainment, this group certainly illustrates the success of the year ' s most important dance.

Greg Ladd is again complimented for his award, this time by Mr. Phil Eskew, commissioner of the Indiana High School Athletic Association, who was the fea¬ tured speaker at the spring D-Club ban¬ quet. Fred again changed three athletes into happy award winners. Alan Kalver and Sam Baumann were named co-winners of the most valuable player award in wrestling. Arthur Ybarra was honored for winning the sectional wrestling title in his weight division and for advancing to the regional contest. 58 D.H.S. ' s first German party is eagerly enjoyed by these studems of die deutsche Klasse, who are dancing the schottische. The theme of the party was The Green Owl, a German res¬ taurant which provided the students with food and song reminiscent of the father- land. The gods and goddesses assemble in all their glory at the Latin banquet, descending from their home on Mount Olympus. Marilyn Knudsen, emcee and chair¬ man of this year ' s French party, loud¬ ly proclaims the coronation of King Bob DeVoss and Queen Margaret Koc- her. The students carried out the theme of the party, Mardi Gras, by wear¬ ing French costumes.

Each staff requires different qualifications. The copy staff is in charge of typing all the print in the yearbook. Soliciting businesses for ads is the job of the advertising staff, which requires a good deal of salesability. The interesting art work you see in the book is drawn by the art editor, while the photogra¬ phy editor prepares pictures for submission to the editor. To write the sports section material, the sports editors must be well versed in their subjects. The editor must organize the work, write, plan, and layout the book. The assist¬ ant editor helps the editor as much as pos¬ sible, lends aid to any lagging staff, and gains knowledge for preparing next year ' s book. Supervising, editing, advising, and helping wherever possible are the jobs of the faculty advisors. Even if you are not on the yearbook staff, we hope you will take an interest by offering practical suggestions and cooperating if you are called on to help. A special thanks goes to Marilyn Knudsen for her literary contribu¬ tions. We hope you enjoy this year ' s Ravelings.

Of, bq, and for the Student The student council set records by striving harder than ever before in an attempt to raise the standards of our school and make it a better place to receive an education. Be¬ sides having the initial assembly, several members of the council talked to the under¬ classmen on proper conduct and behavior in school. Following the midterm exams, the student council introduced an innovation, the student dress-up day. It is hoped that this practice will continue throughout the years as a D.H.S. tradition. It is felt that these efforts, plus encourag¬ ing students to keep the building and cafeteria in a neater, more pleasant atmosphere, will aid every student in obtaining the proper background for his later life. Student council officers are, as pictured at left: Alan Kalver, President; Bob DeVoss, Vice- President; Amos Ketchum, Advisor; and Sally Schnepf, Secretary. 68 First row: Tanya August, Carol Hoverman, Margaret Kocher, Sally Schneph, Jane Jacobs, Michelle Jones, Sally Fletcher, Marilyn Harman.

The D-Club, in operation since 1952, when it represented only five sports, now has a new system for giving letters and represents eight sports. The new system, effective for this year ' s underclassmen, has the following rules: 1. Recommendations for athletic awards should be made by the coach and approved by the Athletic Council. 2. Awards shall be given on a point system: one point for participation, two for earning a letter, making a possible of three per sport. 3. These points may be used to receive a sweater (9 pts.), or a jacket (15 pts). 4. No sweater or jacket may be purchased by a student.

The club was started through the efforts of the cheerleaders, who felt that the school spirit at DHS was not quite up to par, and that maybe an organized cheering block could bring about more sup¬ port for our teams. Rules were adopted for the group and everyone was assigned a special seat. The cheerleaders are to be com¬ mended for the enforcement of these rules which paid off in a real fine looking group at the sectional. To help make their cheering more visually effective, the girls wore long-sleeved white blouses, white gloves, and dark skirts with purple suspenders.

The Decatur High School Band, under the direction of Richard Collins, can chalk up another year of great progress, for this year the band received sharp new uniforms. The marching uniform was used at football and basketball games, and at parades, while it was converted to a concert uniform for the more formal occasions. In addition to the ball games, concerts, and spring musical, the band members have many fond events to remember. The members en¬ joyed a trip to Indiana University, a band party, the dance band ' s appearance on tele¬ vision, and many fund-raising drives.

The main goal of this scholastic organiza¬ tion is proficiency in commercial subjects for all of its members. In the typing classes, ten minute timed writing tests offer the chance to win awards. As a result of these tests a speed pin may be obtained. However, only a certain number of errors may be made. The pins range in value from 40 to 70 words per minute. Shorthand students receive awards by tak¬ ing a dictation test over unfamiliar material. The transcription must be 97% accurate and neatly arranged on the paper.

This year August ' s practices were begun under the new head coach, Wally Yeoman. After two weeks of practicing twice a day, Decatur warmed up for the season by travel¬ ing to Bluffton for a jamboree with Berne, Hartford City, and Bluffton. Decatur showed its fans the team was out to play football by scoring 34 points in two quarters. After this, Decatur opened its regular season with a victory over Auburn. Following this game De¬ catur lost two games in a row, against Gar¬ rett and New Haven. Not to be denied, the Jackets scored three straight victories over Portland, Bluffton, and Columbia City, scor¬ ing 101 points in the process. Next they lost a heart-breaking decision against Kendallville. They closed their season by defeating Con¬ cordia and Angola. The Jackets ' 5-3 record was good for a third-place tie in the N.E.I.C. Greg Ladd was named captain of the team. Decatur placed two men on the all-confer¬ ence team—All-State halfback Max Elliot and tackle Steve Hazelwood. Tom Macklin was chosen to be on the third team, and Jerry Egly, Buster Melchi, and Greg Ladd were given honorable mention.

This year the basketball practices started a day after the last football game. Mr. McColly ' s boys had only ten days to get in shape for the season opener with Adams Central. The first six games brought disappointment for the Jackets and their fans. They won their seventh game, which was played against Bluffton, then lost three in a row before beat¬ ing Auburn. After losing five more games, three by less than three points each, they pulled one of the biggest upsets of the year by beating the Regional champions, Garrett. They closed the season by losing three close games in a row and by losing to Berne in the semi-finals of the sectional. Although the team did not win many games, they showed the Jacket fans that they really could play basketball. Greg Ladd and John Custer were co¬ captains. Greg Ladd made the all-conference first team and Craig McEwan received hon¬ orable mention.

With the great emphasis being placed on the importance of our youth being physically fit, it is very important that the girls of De¬ catur High have the opportunity to participate in an athletic organization. Unfortunately, we have only one such inter-school competing group, the girls ' volleyball team. However, it is quite a successful one. Playing many teams from the surrounding area, the girls went un¬ defeated throughout the entire season. We hope that in the future many other such suc¬ cessful girls ' athletic organizations will be formed, enabling more girls to participate and to develop talents in other sports. Girls not on the inter-school volleyball team are urged to participate in the girls ' intramural program. Both of these activities are under the super¬ vision of Mrs. Worthman. 96 ADVERTISING Prescription 7 ) Come ln Specialists W OUR Quality Photo—Finishing fe pizza HOLTHOUSE DRUG CO. 2 Stores for Your Convenience VKT ,s THE ib est DICK ' S PIZZA PALACE 100 E.

Phone 3-3028 Just for the Thanks To Our Advertisers Who Helped Make This Book Possible. Record Tom Scu s: I have finally reached the last page. It is a page completed with relief, but with regret mailed in for publishing because it means the end of two great experiences for me—work¬ ing on the Ravelings, and attending DHS. I can only hope that you receive the same satis¬ faction reading about these high school days as I have received from recording them. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of you who helped to make this book possible—my excellent staff, my assistant Janet Winteregg, the faculty advisors, and especially Mr. Clayton and Mr. Smith for their patient guidance. On behalf of the 1964 Ravelings Staff I would like to wish for the Class of ' 64, the best of luck in future endeavors; for all re¬ turning DHS students successful future school years, and for Janet and the 1965 Ravelings Staff all the fun and work enjoyed this year! ’ .
