Roy Kalver a Booster for Association.

William Linn received the following letter from Roy Kalver, former Decatur boy anil a graduate of the Decatur high school: Zeta Beta Tail House, 309 E. John street, Champaign, Illinois. February 17, 1921. D. H. S. Alumni Ass’n., Decatur, Indiana. Dear Friends: I’m mighty glad to hear that that which should have been undertaken years ago—the formation of a Decatur High School Alumni association —has been started. No institution can hope to do its best work without the support of its alumni, and ■they can only be effective through a strong organization. I’ve often speculated as to why D. H. S. never had such an association and am now happy to learn that a bunch of live wire

A , 'Xi I fp & /f Onmsl The XZi douole-service ’ | tooth paste, . b- A keeps teeth clean AND GUMS HEALTHY. Keeping the gums healthy and the mouth sweet is very important to health; more teeth are lost through the loosening of the tissue that holds the teeth in place than from decay. Dental science to-day demands that a tooth paste must keep the gums healthy as well as clean the teeth. ’ Senreco was formulated to meet this requirement. Hundreds of dentists are prescribing and using Senreco because they have found that it does measure up to that standard. SENRECO IS A WONDERFUL CLEANSER. In addition to its remedial properties Senreco is a wonderful cleanser; acts directly on the mucin film, the basis of tartar; leaves the mouth cool and clean-feeling. As some one has expressed it—Senreco gives one a new idea on mouth cleanliness. Get a tube to-day at your druggists or toilet counter—enjoy the healthy, cleanly feeling its use gives your mouth and gums. Notice how brilliantly white Senreco makes your teeth. It performs this two-fold service for you and yet costs no more than the ordinary, old-fashioned tooth paste that simply cleans the teeth and leaves a pleasant taste— r IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD THERE IS A FAMILY THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN LEFT DESTITUTE, HAD IT NOT BEEN FOR A LIFE INSRANCE POLICY IN The Western Reserve Life Insurance Co.

alumni are back of the project. It’s quite a coincidence that the University of Illinois Alumni association is also right now in the midst of a drive among members of tho senior class to join that organization. They are goiut to make the class one hundred per cent, members, and I hope you are just as successful. After the organization has been perfected I would suggest that some sort of publication lie issued periodically in order to keep the alumni actively interested in the old school. Enclosed you will find a check for two dollars for my membership. If I can help the organization out in any other way, let me know and I’ll be glad to do so. Best, wishes for your success in making Decatur High the best in the state. Yours sincerely, ROY L. KALVER.
