DECATUR HIGH i By Gwen Hllyard ; Well, tonight i» "it!” After eight o’clock tonight, the class of ; ’55 will.be part of the alumni of ~ D. H. S. Sixty-four seniors will receive their diplomas In the Bev-enty-fourth annual Decatur high school commencement ceremony. The students and faculty of D.H.S. < have all extended their congratulations to these students, and the seniors in turn would like to thank all those who have had such an important part in making these past four years "the best of our lives.” A special note of thanks is extended to Miss Vera who has been the wonderful senior class sponsor this year. • « e • The baccalaureate exercises were held at the school last Sunday evening, and Rev. Sexton gave the seniors and the entire audience too, a lot to think about. In conclusion of his topic “It's your move next,” he urged the graduates to make their next move a dedicated one in the presence of Cod. Everyone who attended this service shall remember his words for a long time to come. “Glory to God" was sung by the high school choir, and a solo “The Lord is My Shepherd’’ was sung by a member of the graduating class, Bob Sprague. a •—•—* —— Starting a new tradition, the members of the sophomore class have ordered their class rings already. They were ordered earlier this week, and by doing so. they should arrive early in the fall. In past years, the ordering was not done until early in the junior Lydar. • • • • The annual high school party was held last Friday evening in the high school gym. The evening began with a program featuring skits, instrumentals, and vocal groups, all presented by members of the upper four classes. Following the program, the chairs were pushed back and dancing began. Refreshments were served later on in the evening. The M. C. for the evening was Fred McDougal. • • • • Monday evening was the senior banquet, and the seniors were appropriately outfitted as “what they wanted to be in the future” or as a “secret desire." Some of the characters present were: a typical old farmer Jones and his wife (complete with pitchfork and milk pail, too), little boys, little girls, a policewoman (even with a billy club!) a race car driver and i his wife, a basketball player of f the early twenties, servicemen,

Sheila Ahr then sang the torch song, “Temptation” and “Dance With Me Henry.” The entire group then joined in on "D. H. S.” and “ ’55, *55 and we’ve survived!” Following the party the Seniors gathered together and marched down Second street, singing the various school songs. • • • e The Ravelings, the D.H.S. yearbook was received earlier this week and the distribution was started on Tuesday and practically completed yesterday. They are bound in a beautiful yellow weave with purple engraving. D. H. S. would like to thank the editor Ron Robinson, the entire staff, and their sponsor Mr. Smith for doing such a marvelous job this year, and too, for getting it out before the close of school. This has made it possible for the students to get their classmates and teachers* autographs. The most heard expression -this week has been “does anybody have a pen?” .** * * Os course for the seniors, the I most heard words were groans and moans, and “O, not another test!” The tests were finally completed Tuesday, however, and now the seniors are all ready to take the “Icrwg walk” (graduation that tel)
