WINNER OF ThE cOSTUME cONTEST at the band’s Halloween concert was Troy Juenemann.

Great halloween funMusic, costumes, super heroes,

artwork — all at a band concert. Yes, a band concert.

The Decatur Community High School band performed its first con-cert on Monday, Nov. 2. Throughout the concert, a slide show created by different band members was pro-jected onto a screen. While the band played the theme songs from Bat-man, Superman, and the Addams Family, the audience could watch images from the movies.

During the song “Headless Horse-

man,” eight original watercolors painted by sophomore band mem-ber Amanda Marshall were shown on the screen. Amanda painted the watercolors for her Independent Art Class.

At intermission, a costume con-test was held for anyone dressed in costume, including the majority of the band. In the adult competition, Debbie Rief as a whoopee cushion won first place. Troy Juenemann as a three-headed man won the child category.

Students work togetherto clean up fall leaves

Sixty-seven high school students worked with fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth graders to clean up yards around town for the annual Hallow-een Clean-Up.

Decatur Community High School students chose Jessica Fredrickson as the Clean-Up General, and she, along with captains Kortnie Fisher, Ashley Horton, Chance Marble, and Nolan Wasson, organized the event, which dates back to the 1930s

The Freshman Class had the high-est participation rate with 20 of the 27 participating or 74 percent.

Eighteen sophomores helped out at Halloween Clean-up, or 69 per-cent of the class. The Junior Class had 52 percent participation or 15 out of the 29, followed closely by the Senior Class with 50 percent.

Superintendent Duane Dorshorst treated the 67 students with donuts and juice last week and thanked them for the leadership and hard work.

Each group of students also had two adult supervisors. This included Mark Bricker, Caleb Howland, Terry Ream, Jeff Jones, J.D. John-son, Tim Breth, Jason Ketterl and Kenny Black.

Students and facultywelcome new teacher

By TOBY PETERSWhen he went to school, he was

just Josh. Now in the same school he graduated from, he is Mr. Williby.

New industrial arts teacher Josh Williby graduated from Decatur Community High School in 2000. He is married to Kari Stanley, anoth-er DCHS graduate, and they have a seven-month-old son, Gage.

He is the son of Doug and Shayla Williby. He has a twin brother, Jus-tin and a sister, Cammi Dickinson.

Mr. Williby’s hobbies include wood-working, hence the Indus-trial Arts teaching degree. He also enjoys hunting, fishing and golf. His college life included school at Goodland, Colby, and Fort Hays

State where he graduated in July of 2009.

Some of his former teachers are now colleagues, and when asked how he feels about that, he said, “Good, I feel very welcomed, and it’s good to be back in the com-munity.”

How has our school changed in the last ten years? “The overall size is very different. My class graduated with over 40 students. And if you wanted to park in the parking lot, you had to come to school early.”

His friends in high school were his brother Justin, Carl Larson, Tanner Lincoln, Bart Macfee, and Matt Farr.
