The Decanois
The annual of a school has two purposes.
The first and most important one is to record the history of the current
school year; to gi\ c a fair representation of the school as a whole; not just a
senior book, but a book that takes in all of the activities ancl efforts of all of the
classes. Pictures of classes, clubs, teams, events, honors won, games playccl, and
the work of organizations are all written in the pages of the annual to record,
as far as possible, everything of any importance. Those who have given of themselves sec the results of their efforts.
This year, through the efforts of the staff, the circulation has been increased
150 copies, and several new features have been added to the book.
The secondary purpose of the annual is accomplished by the business experience and enjoyment gained by the members of the staff. In compiling the
pages of such a book the staff has diligently striven to gkan material of interest,
ancl also to come in contact with the busy work-a-day world, the world for which
students arc now trying to fit them~el\'es. Althou~h the year·-. "ork is done, the
e:-;pcricnce remains a pricelc:-s background.

Activities
lkcat ur 11 igh ~chool has had unusual success in all ih tm1kr1aking-. during
thl· past year.
1n literary affairs Decatur High has shown intense intl·n·st. The intcrsoricty rnntest called forth the best speakers of the five societies to take part
in this annual classic. Aristos was the victor. '\'ot only those \\ho won places
but all who took part were benefited by the efforh expended on their sdections.
'I he Agora-Aristos banquet. an annual function, was very much appn'l'iated by
the junior and senior girls.
In both Big Tweh·e and :\Iillikin mecb the mu-.ic and public -.peaking- departmcnb of Decatur ''ere well reprc:-entecl. The debating dass dc,·cloped a
great deal of talent this year and entered in the triangular debate '' ith Urbana
ancl Danville and al..;o in the Dig Twelve Conference.
Two new clubs were added to the already long list in the 'chool this
year. Le Cercle Francaise, a French Club, ancl the .\ero Club, in whid1 aeroplanes were studied.
Under the coaching of :\Ir. Kintner, football and basketball aroused a splendid school spirit. Decatur High took fourth place in the Big Twelve and won
the D1-.trict Tournament.
~ot only did the band provide entertainment at the games but it also played
for school affairs, and received much recognition in the city. The orchestra,
too, was willing to lend its aid for plays and musical performances.
The combined boys' and girls' glee club presented with merited succe-;s the
Victor Herbert opera, ''The Red l\Iill." The cast ancl producing staff worked
unceasingly to make it a worth-while presentation.
Before the Christmas holidays the students in the art department made many
unusual and attractive gifts. The splendid work they did in painting the scenery
for the plays and operettas deserves unstinted praise. The audience in its appreciation of the performance often forgets the hours of labor that have been
utilized by the production staff.
Jn all kincls of activities Decatur High School ha" come to the front with
willing and hearty cooperation.

The work of Agora began with a membership drive this yl.'ar. The event
of greatest interest during the first semester was the intersoricty rontcst for which
the girls worked faithfully. Agora won two first places, but, much to her sorrow.
lost the cup. With the contest o\·er, plans were made for the Nebon )[emorial.
A roncert by the Olivar Filipino Concert Company was given in February. The
proceeds of this concert with contributions from former Agora members created
a funcl for a memorial to :\Irs. Lucy H. Xebon. a former member of the Dccatu1
High School faculty, and adviser of Agora.
During the year a number of one-act plays and . . ketches of the live-. of playwright... were given. :\fodern poetry, poets, short storil's, and short story writers
were -.tucliecl the serond semester.

It ha" been the chief purpose and endea\'Or of Fon1111 during the past year
to niltivatt• within tht.' minds of its members the art of speaking and selt-expre'>sion. The ideal has always been to make this society a continuation of the regular class-room activities. It has also been one of its aims to instruct its members
in parliamentary law, to promote high scholastic stanclarcls, ancl to bring to the
foreground those fine qualities of character and leadership which may some day
have a great influence in the affairs of our great nation.
This past year Forum has been under the very capable leadership of :\1r.
Le::\Iarr, whom all of the members learned to regard very highly. During the
year \'aricd programs consisting of speeches, and discussions of problems an<l
debates, were given.
Forum challenged Rotaro to a debate during the second semester. Rotaro
accepted. and the debate was held at a joint meeting of the fi'"e ~ocictics on ::\Ionday, February 18. John Parrish and Lyle Pierce reprc..,ented Fortun and won
the debate.
The pre:-idcnts of the society for the two semesters, John Parrish and \\'alter
Recd. showed very commendable ability in conducting the meetings and carrying
on other activities.

Band 1928-1929
"Boost the Band" was the motto of band this year. Rex Rees. who has
been in charge of the D. H. S. instrumental organizations for the last five years,
is director.
I ast year the band won the Big Twelve contc!->l held in Decatur on ~lay
4 and 5. The cup was presented to the school for safe keeping by Richard
Rodgers, the president of last year's Band Association.
Owing to some being graduated, dropping out of school, and entering other
activities, the group lost twenty-three members who made the trip to Springfield last year. By the second semester this year it "as again built up to a total
of fifty-eight pieces. In spite of this loss. this year's organization is one of the
best C\'cr produced in the school.
Definite plans ha\'e been made to secure an ohoe, an E flat clarinet. and a
bas,oon a~ sd1ool property. The member!'> who pla) l'd the.;e instruments were
taken from the overcrowded section~ of the organization.
A special feature was presented in the annual conct.'rt. whit-h was gi\'en two
nights, once for the public and once for a special city dub.
During the year the band worked on a number of standard O\'l'rtures and
~c\'eral ... uite.... This work was helpful to the member!'>, ~ince it ga\'e them a wide
range of experience.
I:and ktters were gin n out to the tl\'c !Joy-. \\ho were digihll'. To lie eligible
to rcn•iye a letter a IJOy must play four semc-.tl'rs and he of a high moral type.

An Axi·om
for Success
Experience has shown that the business
-or life-which is most likely to sueceed nowadays is that business-or life
-which aims to give something more
than the mere commodity-or servicein which it deals.
Th us, we strive, as a public utility, to
do more than furnish good electric, gas
or transportation service. We are convinced that it is equally important to
build a reputation for fair dealing, fai r
rates and true public spirit.

The Decanois
The annual of a school has two purposes.
The first and most important one is to record the history of the current
school year; to gi\ c a fair representation of the school as a whole; not just a
senior book, but a book that takes in all of the activities ancl efforts of all of the
classes. Pictures of classes, clubs, teams, events, honors won, games playccl, and
the work of organizations are all written in the pages of the annual to record,
as far as possible, everything of any importance. Those who have given of themselves sec the results of their efforts.
This year, through the efforts of the staff, the circulation has been increased
150 copies, and several new features have been added to the book.
The secondary purpose of the annual is accomplished by the business experience and enjoyment gained by the members of the staff. In compiling the
pages of such a book the staff has diligently striven to gkan material of interest,
ancl also to come in contact with the busy work-a-day world, the world for which
students arc now trying to fit them~el\'es. Althou~h the year·-. "ork is done, the
e:-;pcricnce remains a pricelc:-s background.

Activities
lkcat ur 11 igh ~chool has had unusual success in all ih tm1kr1aking-. during
thl· past year.
1n literary affairs Decatur High has shown intense intl·n·st. The intcrsoricty rnntest called forth the best speakers of the five societies to take part
in this annual classic. Aristos was the victor. '\'ot only those \\ho won places
but all who took part were benefited by the efforh expended on their sdections.
'I he Agora-Aristos banquet. an annual function, was very much appn'l'iated by
the junior and senior girls.
In both Big Tweh·e and :\Iillikin mecb the mu-.ic and public -.peaking- departmcnb of Decatur ''ere well reprc:-entecl. The debating dass dc,·cloped a
great deal of talent this year and entered in the triangular debate '' ith Urbana
ancl Danville and al..;o in the Dig Twelve Conference.
Two new clubs were added to the already long list in the 'chool this
year. Le Cercle Francaise, a French Club, ancl the .\ero Club, in whid1 aeroplanes were studied.
Under the coaching of :\Ir. Kintner, football and basketball aroused a splendid school spirit. Decatur High took fourth place in the Big Twelve and won
the D1-.trict Tournament.
~ot only did the band provide entertainment at the games but it also played
for school affairs, and received much recognition in the city. The orchestra,
too, was willing to lend its aid for plays and musical performances.
The combined boys' and girls' glee club presented with merited succe-;s the
Victor Herbert opera, ''The Red l\Iill." The cast ancl producing staff worked
unceasingly to make it a worth-while presentation.
Before the Christmas holidays the students in the art department made many
unusual and attractive gifts. The splendid work they did in painting the scenery
for the plays and operettas deserves unstinted praise. The audience in its appreciation of the performance often forgets the hours of labor that have been
utilized by the production staff.
Jn all kincls of activities Decatur High School ha" come to the front with
willing and hearty cooperation.

The work of Agora began with a membership drive this yl.'ar. The event
of greatest interest during the first semester was the intersoricty rontcst for which
the girls worked faithfully. Agora won two first places, but, much to her sorrow.
lost the cup. With the contest o\·er, plans were made for the Nebon )[emorial.
A roncert by the Olivar Filipino Concert Company was given in February. The
proceeds of this concert with contributions from former Agora members created
a funcl for a memorial to :\Irs. Lucy H. Xebon. a former member of the Dccatu1
High School faculty, and adviser of Agora.
During the year a number of one-act plays and . . ketches of the live-. of playwright... were given. :\fodern poetry, poets, short storil's, and short story writers
were -.tucliecl the serond semester.

It ha" been the chief purpose and endea\'Or of Fon1111 during the past year
to niltivatt• within tht.' minds of its members the art of speaking and selt-expre'>sion. The ideal has always been to make this society a continuation of the regular class-room activities. It has also been one of its aims to instruct its members
in parliamentary law, to promote high scholastic stanclarcls, ancl to bring to the
foreground those fine qualities of character and leadership which may some day
have a great influence in the affairs of our great nation.
This past year Forum has been under the very capable leadership of :\1r.
Le::\Iarr, whom all of the members learned to regard very highly. During the
year \'aricd programs consisting of speeches, and discussions of problems an<l
debates, were given.
Forum challenged Rotaro to a debate during the second semester. Rotaro
accepted. and the debate was held at a joint meeting of the fi'"e ~ocictics on ::\Ionday, February 18. John Parrish and Lyle Pierce reprc..,ented Fortun and won
the debate.
The pre:-idcnts of the society for the two semesters, John Parrish and \\'alter
Recd. showed very commendable ability in conducting the meetings and carrying
on other activities.

Band 1928-1929
"Boost the Band" was the motto of band this year. Rex Rees. who has
been in charge of the D. H. S. instrumental organizations for the last five years,
is director.
I ast year the band won the Big Twelve contc!->l held in Decatur on ~lay
4 and 5. The cup was presented to the school for safe keeping by Richard
Rodgers, the president of last year's Band Association.
Owing to some being graduated, dropping out of school, and entering other
activities, the group lost twenty-three members who made the trip to Springfield last year. By the second semester this year it "as again built up to a total
of fifty-eight pieces. In spite of this loss. this year's organization is one of the
best C\'cr produced in the school.
Definite plans ha\'e been made to secure an ohoe, an E flat clarinet. and a
bas,oon a~ sd1ool property. The member!'> who pla) l'd the.;e instruments were
taken from the overcrowded section~ of the organization.
A special feature was presented in the annual conct.'rt. whit-h was gi\'en two
nights, once for the public and once for a special city dub.
During the year the band worked on a number of standard O\'l'rtures and
~c\'eral ... uite.... This work was helpful to the member!'>, ~ince it ga\'e them a wide
range of experience.
I:and ktters were gin n out to the tl\'c !Joy-. \\ho were digihll'. To lie eligible
to rcn•iye a letter a IJOy must play four semc-.tl'rs and he of a high moral type.

purpose of \\ hich is to stimulate a greater interest in aviation. The mt:mbers
of the society built model aeroplanes. and each had a chance to put his O\\ n ideas

An Axi·om
for Success
Experience has shown that the business
-or life-which is most likely to sueceed nowadays is that business-or life
-which aims to give something more
than the mere commodity-or servicein which it deals.
Th us, we strive, as a public utility, to
do more than furnish good electric, gas
or transportation service. We are convinced that it is equally important to
build a reputation for fair dealing, fai r
rates and true public spirit.
