CATHOLIC high FOUNDED IN 1919 (Continued from page _ thfe e > uer. "Rev. J A. Seimetz dreamed of some day having a Catholic High, and this dream was bound to materialize. In the spring vs 1919, Father Seimetz, with the assistance of Sr. Aloysia worked out a plan of procedure. Although Sr. Aloysia was not destined to stay in Decatur to See the dream take form and materialize; nevertheless. she has followed the success of the High School Department with the deepest interest. "Al this juncture, 1919. the pioneer days of the second era begin. Rev. J. A. Seimetz. Rev. A. J. Kroeger, Sr. M. Antonita and Sr. M. Odelia comprised the first faculty board of D. C. H S. That first year was wonderful. Everyone was zealous and eager to make everything a "go.” "The next year. Sr. M. Vera, our present competent principal, came to bless our school with her presence. She was so zestful, so full of ambition. that all of us mentally resolved to live up to her high hopes, and, to make a long story short, that second year was glorious, "Pioneering was great fun. Our assembly room was picturesque. We scorned the regular school desks, and gloried in the tables and folding chtirs that were provided for us. We

laughed, we learned, and w» came out winners. Our faculty that year included Rev. J. A. Seimetz, Sr. M. Vera. Sr. M. Antonita and Sr. M. Odelia. Rev. Otto Peters, our capable assistant, then made things look bright by injecting some athletic spirit Into our school; and Rev. Otto Peters by his splendid Initiative) and encouragement well deserves the title, "Patron of D. C. H. S. Athletics." "Our third and fourth years of High School, the trial years, went on merrily. Sr. M. Sylvester was added to the faculty in the third year, and Sr. M. Almeda in the fourth year. Sr. Sylvester left after the third year, accompanied by the best wishes of the scholars, for she helped us pioneer, and our hearts are warm with praise tor her. Sr. M. Almeda Is still with us. She also captured our admiration by the splendid way she goes after things. “In September. 1922, we had the distinction of being honored by affiliation with the Catholic University of America, which was a boon to teachers and students alike. “With the graduating of the live Pioneer High School Students: Aloysius Schneider, Andrew Appleman, Charlotte Niblick. Irene Holthouse and Margaret Mylott, the High School was a thing complete. It was a reality. "Today, the beautiful, new Catholic School, that will house both the grade and High School departments, is being constructed, and it is a wonderful monument to those who dream of things that make life worth while. “D. C. H. S. offers a classical course as well as a Commercial course. The present faculty of D. C. H. S.. is composed of Rev. J. A. Seimetz. Rev. O. J’eters. Sr. M. Vera. Principal; Sr. M. Antonita. Sr. M. Almeda, Sr. M. Beata and Sr. M. Claude. What can we say o express our appreciation of the efforts of these sacrificing teachers? Sr. M.xVera has devoted herself, heart and soul to the success of our High School and has succeeded wonderfully. Sr. M. Antonita, our first High School teacher, is still with us. Her splendid faith in all of us has always given us added impetus. Sr. M. Almeda's three years with our school has endeared her to all who know her. Sr. M. Beata is a new member of the faculty this year. She has already won a favored spot in the hearts of the students. Sr. M. Claude, who has been added to the faculty this year, has been her enthusiasm for music kindled a like love of harmonious sounds in the hearts of herpupils. Under her guidance, we are
