COLOR WHEEL CLUB
At the beginning of the 1946-47 school year, the
Color Wheel Club was organized under the super-
vision of Miss Kauffman. The members of the club
elected the following officers: president, Stanley
McBride; vice president, Dave Pollock; secretary-
treasurer, Claire Mowery.
At Christmas time the club worked with the other
departments of the school in presenting the religious
program. The large stained glass window, made by
the Art Club, was used in the program. The club
also painted Christmas scenes on two of the school
windows.
As usual the Art Club was busy painting the many
signs for the sectional tournament. Large signs were
made for each school participating in the tourney
showing the school colors and school emblem.
Decorations and scenery for the Spring Revue were
important elements in the work of the Color Wheel
Club during the year.
Each art student entered the county American
Legion Poster Contest advertising the sale of pop-
pies made by the Veterans of World War I and
World War II.
In April, near the close of a laborious school year,
the few students and their guests gathered in the
Home Economics Room where they held their an-
nual supper dance.

HOME-EC CLUB
The Home Economics Club of D. H. S. was re-organ-
ized at the beginning of the school term. The follow-
ing girls were elected officers: Mary Leitz, president;
Helen Baughman, vice president; Anna Marie Steury,
secretary; and Donna Jaberg, treasurer.
The activities of the Home-Ec Club are many and
varied. The first activity this year was supplying the
help to work in the canteen at the football games. The
“little women” also served at the annual band banquet.
A very interesting and entertaining musical chapel
was sponsored by the Home-Ec Club this season.
Something different was offered this year by the
Club. A Senior and Faculty Tea was given after school
in the Home-Ec room. Another tea of the same type
is being planned for this spring.
The Home-Ec girls also have many activities in the
classroom. The first semester the girls learned the art
of cooking. Many delightful confections were made by
both the beginning and advanced classes. Even some
first-class cakes were turned out. The second semester
sewing machines started whirring and many smart
fashions were produced. But, besides just sewing the
garment the girls first learned what goes into its mak-
ing.
All this is very good, but none of it could be ac-
complished well without the guiding hand of their
able instructor, Miss Worthman.

PEP CHAMPS
Pep Champs is the all-girl booster organization of Decatur High with its membership con-
sisting of girls who have purchased season tickets for either football or basketball.
In order that all classes might be represented, an officer is selected from each class. This
year Phyllis McClure, a senior, was elected president, Sue Harper, a junior, vice president;
Barbara Anspaugh, the secretary, and Betty Rose, the treasurer, were a sophomore and a
freshman, respectively. The organization operated under the sponsorship of Miss Weidler and
Miss Pumphrey.
Our first project showed the co-operation and interest of students and faculty in their
purchase of the booster buttons which the Pep Champs sold. These buttons could be seen
everywhere displayed on sweaters, coats, hats, and shirts.
The Valentine dance on February 7th was the social event of the year. The music room
was appropriately and sentimentally decorated in hearts and cupid darts. A very large crowd
danced to the music of a local teen-age orchestra.
It’s been fun to be a Pep Champ this year and to participate in the athletic activities of
our school.
Yea team!!! Yea Pep Champs!!!

IT'S A CIRCUS
And we of the 1947 Ravelings’ Staff hope that you enjoy it, and that you will have pleasant
reminiscing in leafing through its pages at some future date.
Our Snapshot Editors were “blessed” with new photographic equipment this year and
gained considerable experience in the finer points of photography while covering the “Four
Rings of Fun at D. H. S.” The Raveling’s Photography Editors were able to transfer several
of their responsibilities to the Snapshot Editors, since they were now capable of turning out
professional work. Mr. Smith spent considerable time and effort in studying the possible re-
sults with our new equipment and served as director and coach of our Staff photographers.
Mr. Smith is also the author of the poetry found on several pages of this book.
Every circus has a serious side, but we were kept happy by the competent manner in
which our Business Staff, under Miss Worthman’s capable supervision, managed our financial
relationships.
The varied athletic activities of D. H. S. kept our Sports Editors busily engaged in their
efforts to complete their write-ups. While their reports will show you the results of our sports
year, the articles by Stanley McBride, Helen Baughman, Sue Harper, Don Grant, Roger Gentis,
Betty Anspaugh, and Phyllis Kraft will give you a better idea of the many colorful
and entertaining social activities of our clubs and class organizations.
Miss Weidler volunteered her services as proofreader and accurately checked
and corrected any grammatical errors. Our Copy Editors then took over and trans-
formed the various articles into typewritten copy.
The entire Staff feels that the Art Editors did a unique job in decorat-
ing the pages of the 1947 Ravelings in a lively fashion. Their imagination
and ability has done much to increase the attractiveness of our book.
Miss Worthman’s all-round knowledge proved invaluable in encourag-
ing those worried and somewhat desperate people, the Editors, in their
attempts to improve the Ravelings. The Editors also appreciated the readi-
5. ness with which Mr. Brown assisted them in their sundry difficulties.
While we have mentioned the many persons most outstanding in the
publishing of this book, we sincerely appreciate the assistance of all who
have helped in making the 1947 Ravelings a livelier and more entertaining
yearbook.

HOWLING HOSTS
Shortly after school start-
ed the boys of D. H. S.
banded together to organize
once again the Howling
Hosts. Our roster was well
filled with freshmen, sopho-
mores, juniors, and seniors.
The election then followed;
the results were as follows:
Gene Moser, president; Jay
Barnett, vice president; Don
Grant, secretary; and Bill
Lichtenstiger, treasurer.
Mr. Andrews and Mr.
Dailey were elected co-
sponsors.

of the Howling Hosts, we
backed our teams to the
limit to create a spirit of
victory in them. All games
home or away were well
represented by the “Howl-
ers” of D. H. S.
Once again the Howling
Hosts sponsored a dance. It
was after the Pleasant Mills
game and was held in the
Music room. We hope to
sponsor several more such
dances in the near future.
In the future years we
hope the “Howlers” do as

Mr. Morrison was a very ver-

many excellent pieces on the
harpsicord, Mr. Morrison dressed
in costumes of other days and
impersonated some of the world’s
great musicians.

D. H. S. BAND
The High School Band, composed of sen-
iors, juniors, sophomores, freshmen and a few
eighth graders, is one organization in D. H. S.
which is up and coming, now that we have
brand new uniforms. Prior to their arrival,
we did not make many appearances because
we were not outfitted properly, but now the
band members are all ready to participate in
out-of-town parades and other events.
The band had several dances. Once a year Mr. Sellemeyer gives the entire band, includ-
ing those taking lessons, a dinner with everything “fit for a king.” Oh, yes, we also manage
to remember November 3 as the birthday of a certain Albert Sellemeyer, and we also manage

to surprise him. Whether it’s a real surprise or not, we still enjoy doing it. May our director
have many more birthdays!
The High School Band is made up of the older and more experienced members. It presents
most of the public performances. However, the Combined Band is standing very well on its
own merits.
The officers of the High School Band are—president, Phyllis Kraft; vice president, Karl-
ann Striker; treasurer, Kathryn Ann Edwards. Officers of the Combined Band are—president,
Bob Smith; vice president, Gerald Schultz; treasurer, Don Smith. As a committee of six
the officers of both bands were the deciding group for the new uniforms. We are proud of
their choice.
We wish to express our deep appreciation to the various organizations which made do-
nations for the new uniforms.
Among the activities of the two bands are playing summer concerts, playing for political
rallies, participating in the Calathumpian Parade, Spring Concert at school, Navy Day pro-
gram, and above all, playing for football and basketball games and our Sectional Tournament.
I should also mention a group of sixteen band members chosen to form the well-known
“Drum Corps.” It is, in a sense, a part of the band, and it does credit to the band. It partici-
pates in playing for the tournament and the Spring Review.

GLEE
“Music Hath Charms,” especially when
rendered by the Glee Club of 1946-47.
The Glee Club under the direction of
Miss Haubold consists of sixty-six well-
blended voices.
During the school year the Glee Club
met three times each week—one meet-
ing for the Girls’ Glee Club, once for the
Boys’ Glee Club, and once for the com-
bined group.
The Boys’ Glee Club and Girls’ Glee
Club decided to combine as one organ-
ization in electing officers. The follow-
ing were chosen: Tom Sharp, president;
Betty McGill, vice president; Roger
Gentis, secretary; and Kathleen Butler,
treasurer.
The enjoyable accomplishments of the
Glee Club are credited to the untiring
and talented efforts of our directress, Miss Haubold.
In October the Glee Club gave a short program on Navy Day. Also in October the seniors
again represented D. H. S. in the All-District Chorus held in Fort Wayne.
The first public appearance made by the Glee Club was in November when they presented

their annual fall concert. It was given
before a capacity crowd in the high
school auditorium. Songs by each Glee
Club, as well as the combined group,
were included on the program.
The glee clubs were very fortunate in
having Kathryn Ann Edwards as their
accompanist. Katy Ann spent many
extra hours memorizing our many songs.
The Glee Club again took part in the
annual Christmas program by present-
ing several songs.
During Spiritual Emphasis Week the
Glee Club consented to sing a few songs
for the Union Church services. In Janu-
ary we presented a short program for
the Lincoln Grade School.
Due to public appreciation in the past,
it was again decided to have a Musical
Revue. It was entitled “America Celebrates'
Accompanist
’ and was based on the different holidays of America
It was presented on March 27 and 28 and was a tremendous success. The Glee Club sang sev-
eral suitable selections for the Baccalaureate services, for the graduating class. Their final ano
earance was made for the Commencement Exercises. This ended a year of hard work

In order to raise money, a party was
planned for the evening of April 11, 1947,
and tickets were to be sold to defray ex-

In previous years the Commercial Club
edited a gossip paper known as the “Gab-

we were unable to publish one this year.

Quite clever tricks to these are taught.
They juggle figures, dates acquire;
They spell, they read, their songs inspire;
And each school year they climb a round;
From class to class, Commencement bound.

FOOTBALL
The Yellow Jackets opened their gridiron campaign at Bluffton. Decatur bowed to the
heavier, more experienced Tigers, 38-7.
Decatur’s home-coming was spoiled by Garrett, 40-3. Holmes saved a shutout with a drop-
kick from the 20 yard line.
At Auburn, Decatur found a team with plenty of reserve power. McBride ran 47 yards
for Decatur’s only score. Score 34-6.
Playing against Portland at Decatur, the Jackets looked like a different team. Portland
won in the last 3 minutes. A pass from K. Grant to Holmes was Decatur’s first score. Baughn
scored the second touchdown. Score: 19-13.
Decatur lost a “heartbreaker” to New Haven, 7-6. D. Grant scored for Decatur. With two
key players out with injuries, Decatur plunged for the extra point but was stopped.
Long runs by Columbia City featured the Eagle’s victory, 40-6. Holmes’ pass to Wefel was
Decatur’s only score.
Decatur traveled to Warsaw only to be defeated, 33-12. Bogner and K. Grant, both on off-
tackle plays, went for touchdowns.
Decatur blew a 14-12 lead during the first half when the Hartford City Airdales raced for
three quick touchdowns before the half ended. K. Grant scored once and Baughn scored
twice while Holmes converted 3 times. Score: 42-21.
BASKETBALL
The Yellow Jackets really fell short in their opening game at Garrett. Decatur lost
the game at the charity lane making only 7 of 17 tries. Score 47-41.
The Jackets opened their home season with a 42-34 win over Hartford Township.
Failing to score a single point in the first quarter, the Jackets were handed a sur-
prise defeat by Geneva, 37-30, at Geneva.
A third period slump, in which Decatur tallied only 4 points to Bluffton s 15, proved
costly as Bluffton won 41-30 on the latter’s floor.
Although Hoagland outscored Decatur only 6 points from the field, the “Allen Coun-
ty Champs’ hit 19 of 25 free throw's while Decatur hit only 5 of 21, making the score
57-37.
Monroe came to town and took home a 35-26 victory from Decatur.
The Jackets came back after trailing for three quarters to defeat New Haven, 37-33.

The New Year Day tourney proved very disastrous for Decatur. The Jackets lost
to New Haven 34-30 in the second game in the afternoon and then to Berne 51-29 in the
consolation. New Haven defeated Bluffton in a thrilling double-overtime, 46-44, to take
the tourney crown.
Huntington, rated in the state’s top ten, came mighty close to their first defeat of
the season. Seme sharp sniping from the field finally turned the tide for Huntington,
although it took an overtime period. Score 49-46.
Columbia City defeated the Jackets 41-31 here at home.
Bluffton beat Decatur for the second time this season 46-35.
Warsaw came to Decatur and won 43-28.
Decatur snapped a six-game losing streak by defeating Pleasant Mills 53-42.

The Jackets closed the home season with a 34-28 win over Hartford City.
After playing on an even basis the first half, the Jackets wilted badly in the second
half allowing Berne to win 49-33.

Decatur opened the Sectional Tournament with a 46-35 win over Pleasant Mills, and
then they lost to the Sectional Champs, Monroe, 35-30.

Congratulations to Coach Dorwin for having his fifth
N. E. I. C. champ. The tournament was held at Worthman
Field. The Yellow Jackets swamped Bluffton 17-1 and
whipped New Haven 12-3 in the final game.
Last year's record of 11 wins and 1 loss is something to
shoot at for this year's team. With six lettermen from
last year’s squad and some promising new talent, Decatur
should have a fair season.
This year there will be no conference tourney. Each
team in the conference will play one game with each of
the other teams. The one with the highest percentage of
wins will receive the trophy.
The Jackets traveled to Geneva and trounced the Cardi-
nals 8 to 1 in their opener.
The remaining schedule is as follows: April 11, Geneva
—H; April 14, Berne—T; April 19, Convoy; April 21,
Bluffton—T; April 25, Willshire—H; April 28, Warsaw*—T;

TRACK
The games held by the ancient Greeks marked the be-
ginning of our present day track and field meets. The
Olympic games were originated by them in their efforts to
obtain physical health and fleetness of foot. This sport of
ancient Greece is growing in popularity every year, and it
has gained a strong foothold in many high schools, in-
cluding our own D. H. S.
Coach Daily issued a call for track men, and about 55
candidates answered the call ready for practice.
Returning lettermen from last year included Sharp,
Baughn, Lehman, McConnell and J. Heller, with Sharp
being the only senior.
The most probable for this year’s track and field events
are as follows:
DASHES and RELAYS—Kingsley, Baughn, Lehman, Gil-
bert, Bayles, Reynolds, Mills, Hesher, Stingley and Fos-
naugh.
DISTANCES—Sharp, Bogner, Merriman.
HURDLES—Heller, McConnell.
FIELD EVENTS—Doyle Meyers, B. Hutkcr, Foley, Don
MacLean.
A complete schedule of nine track and field events in-
cludes the N. E. I. C. Meet May 8, at Columbia City; the
Sectional Meet, May 16, at Fort Wayne; and the State Meet
at Indianapolis, May 24.
Sharp, Kingsley, Baughn, Heller, McConnell, Lehman,
D. Myers, Stingley, Reynolds, Foreman, Bogner, Gilbert,
Bayles, Mills, and McBride received letters this year.
The County Track Meet was held at Worthman FielS',
April 28. Decatur took the meet by racking up 96 points.
Decatur won a dual meet at Bluffton, 64-53.
The N. E. I. C. meet was held at Columbia City. Sharp
won the mile run. Kingsley and Gilbert placed in the dashes.

CROSS COUNTRY
The newest thing in sports at Decatur High
School is the cross country team coached by
Mr. Dailey. Although it is in its first year, it
is off to a good start for the future.
The first meet was held October 1 at Hanna-
Nuttman Park. Tom Sharp, fast Decatur track
man, added no small amount of glory to De-
catur High when he led a field of 12 runners
in the Decatur-Fort Wayne Central Catholic
cross country meet. Sharp defeated one of
Northeastern Indiana’s ace runners—Voorhees
of Central Catholic High School. His time was
11:12. Voorhees finished second; Chrisman, C.
C., third; and Jim Helm came in fourth. The
Central Catholic team won this meet, 35 to 20.
The next meet, held October 9 with North
Side of Fort Wayne, one of the outstanding
teams of Indiana. They defeated Decatur, 38
to 20. Simon finished ahead of Sharp, whild
both were setting new course records of 10:30
and 10:35. Last year Simon of North Side
finished second in the state meet held at Indianapolis.
The third meet of the season was with South Side
score of 32 to 23. Johnson and Shane of Fort Wayne
Helm came in third and fourth. The time was 10:22.
of Fort Wayne. South Side won this meet by a
took first and second, respectively, and Sharp and
The State meet was held October 26 at Indianapolis. Sharp, Helm, R. Johnson, Stingley, and B.
Hutker were entered in this meet. Decatur placed 15th in a 37-team meet. Sharp, Decatur’s best run-
ner, placed 11th in individual running. Although the record was not impressive, we are hoping for a
better season next year.

The Long and the Short of it
JUNIOR HIGH
Probably the most important stage of any athlete’s career is the be-
ginning of his training. In Decatur High School it is coach Steve Ever-
hart who starts the potential D. H. S. basketball stars on the road to a
successful sports career. Coach Everhart’s Junior Yellow Jackets are
taught not only the fundamentals of good basketball but also the good
rules of sportsmanship.
Four boys who played last season were back to form the base of this
year’s team. They are Bohnke, Bair, Fruchte, Petrie. Sautbine, coming
from Monmouth, finished the first five. Four probables who will carry on
their work next season are; Kolter, K. Everett, Moses, and N. Pollock.
These players are the future varsity team and therefore Coach Ever-
hart had to do a good job of teaching his boys not only fundamentals but
defensive and offensive plays.
The Decatur Junior Jackets got started in the victory column this
season; they were crowded out df that column only twice, once by Port-
land and once by Willshire.
The feature of each season is the City Series between Junior High and
St. Joe. For the third straight year the prized Wemhoff Trophy has been
awarded to the Jr. High team of Decatur Jr.-Sr. High School. Junior
High took two straight games 30-7 and 36-18.
