Please note the abbreviations used.
B=Board of Education, F=faculty, FR=freshman, JR=junior, SO=sophomore, SR=senior
ALL references to each student or faculty member are not listed, but most have an individual picture, but they do not scan well (or my scanning skills are just not up to speed. My dad, Raymond V. Roop, was a freshman at Decatur High School in 1932 and I have thoroughly enjoyed going through his first high school yearbook. The advertisers are listed below the students. If a name was included in the advertisement, that is also listed. Since there is no index for yearbook, I have created one.

I would like to learn more about the following folks who are listed in the yearbook:
Andrews, Hower, Kauffman, Roop, Steele, Strickler, Teeple and Williams.
We might be distant cousins!
