O. T. C AdVERTISI NG Foreword We, the Staff of the 1936 Yearbook, offer this volume as our contribution to Davenport s Centennial celebration. Through its opening pages we have en' deavored to portray the growth of our city from a few scattered dwellings on the banks of the Mississippi to the attractive city that it is today. It is also our hope to recall pleasant memories of past school days to the two senior classes of 1936. 'Dedication The senior classes of 1936 dedicate this volume to the City of Davenport. In cele' brating its Centennial, Davenport can look back with pride on one hundred years of steady progress that has made it worthy of the title, The City Where the West Begins. If one is to judge the future by the past, no phrase could hold a greater truth — Davenport Marches On! The Ballad of the Century By Maurine Keller Antoine LeClairc. a pioneer. Helped blase the trail for us. Of Indians, he had no fear. They were his friends to trust. 'Twas seventeen hundred ninety-seven Antoine LeClaire was born In Michigan, mongst red men’s homes He saw the light of mom. His father was a Frenchman, a Canadian was he. His mother was descendant of A Pottowottomie. The officers first saw LeClaire In Indian blanket true. When down Rock. River s treach'rous stream. He paddled his canoe. Antoine, it u-as, and Davenport. Attracted by the boy. Made friends with him and asl ed him then To join the post's employ. Antoine LeClaire was versatile. A linguist good, which meant That he could be of service to The U. S. Government. So he was made interpreter For off'cers at the fort; Became a dear devoted friend Of Colonel Davenport. He married the granddaughter of A coqua, chief of Sacs. The Indians seemed to think of this In making future pacts. He helped negotiate the one With Keokuk's warrior band. When to his wife the Indians gave A section of their land. A section of their land, they gave. With it a strict decree That on the land, a house be built; To this he did agree. Upon this land he built his home. And soon a town did start. He named it for his dearest friend. The Colonel Davenport. Throughout the years, some good, some ill. This sturdy man did live His friends and neighbors each to serve And of his wealth to give. 'Twas said, by all. He has no peer Of Indian or White. Intelligent, kind, honest, brave; To honor him is right. An Englishman was Davenport, A gentleman was he. His life began in Lincolnshire In sev'nteen eighty-three. When he was only seventeen They sent him out to sea. Upon his Uncle’s ship to learn A ship's master to be. For three years he did sail about; To Baltic ports they went. Until in Russia's port they docked. And were to prison sent. At lust, they were at liberty And started home again; A storm arose upon the sea And washed o'er board, a man. He saved the man. but brol e his leg. So badly hurt was he That to the hospital was sent. And ne'er again to sea. He soon came to America To J ew England, and thence To Philadelphia, where he met The young Custom Lawrence. Who offered him a sergeant's ran . Adventures, too, and grave; And Davenport the army joined. To fight the Indians brave. He first, to New Orleans was sent With General Wilkinson. They stopped Burr's expedition, there Arrested every one. Through years of strife with red men. He builded many a fort. Arose from ran of sergeant, up To Colonel Davenport. After many adventur'us years He'd served his country long. He left that tvor for private life. Came to old Fort Armstrong. He built a home quite near the fort. And moved his family there, Was l nown and loved by every one, Especially. LeClaire. A trader, he. called ''Saganash By Indians far and near; To the white men. protector strong. And friend both l ind and dear. • When Davenport a town became In thirty-six. you see. Eight men did lay it out in sites. They formed a company. Gordon. McGregor. Colton. Smith. Hambaugh. May. and LeClaire. With Davenport, each for a sum Did buy himself a share. Two thousand dollars was the price. The town was one mile square. Two hundred fifty dollars each. Col. George Davenport Did start the village fair. '36 YEARBOOK The first hotel or tavern came Into existence then. With Edward Powers manager. And other earnest men. James Mackintosh opened a store. Built by Antoine LeClaire. With general assortment of Provisions and hardware. i ii n D L A C K M A W K I 6 YEARBOOK For years, of course, there was no bridge. No railroad for the mails. Antoine LeClaire. himself did bring It in his own coat tails. Now D. C. Eldredge, Methodist. In spring time of the year. Did bid his friends come to his home. A preacher there to hear. Antoine LeClaire. the first church built. As Catholic devout. ‘Twas in the center of the town. Four acres land about. The Presbyterians built a church In eighteen thirty-nine. Then came the Congregational And others in short time. September of eighteen-forty The citizens did rule That a stoc company be formed To build a public school. The town was in Wisconsin 'till In thirty-eight, they say. They changed it all and made a state. And called it Iowa. Since Davenport and Rockingham Were rivals then, and hot. Each thought its town should be the seat Of the new county Scott. To Davenport the honor came In February thirty-eight. Thus it has been Scott's county seat Up to this very date. The bridge was made eventually. And railroad, as you know. Crossed over it past LeClaire's house Which was then the depot. The house still stands, though old and drab. Reminder of that time; Today it's marked in reverence As an historic shrine. The river men hated the bridge. They tried to burn it down. That was the reason Lincoln came With Douglas to the town. It was a most historic trial A real test case, it seems. To find if they could henceforth bridge The navigable streams. The first newspaper of the town Was called Iowa Sun And Davenport. Rock Island News Of three it did forerun. The first graveyard was filled too soon. For life was cruel and hard: Some years, one out of every ten Went to his last reward. Among the early burials Was Doctor Emerson. The master of Dred Scott, the slave. Who famed decision won. November fourth, old papers state. The town had quite a thrill. For to Antoine LeClaire's house came The J ind Prince De Joinville. One hundred years have passed since then; LeClaire and Davenport. With spirit brave and true, these men Have made a city port. Today we praise these honored names. The men who l neui no fears: We hope to k P their spirit still As years roll into years. T.

Eugene Jobst The school year of 1935 and 1936 proved to he very eventful for the Dramatic Club. A number of varied and interesting projects occupied the attention of the members. At intervals throughout the year the expression classes presented improvised skits in the auditorium for the student body as a part of the advertising campaigns for The Black hawk subscriptions. The meetings are held twice a month. The first meeting is a business meeting and the second a social meeting, when various programs are enjoyed by the club. On the evening of January 22, two plays, The Clod, by Lewis Beach, and “Cabbages,” by Ed. Staadt, were presented in the auditorium by the fifth and eighth period classes respec- tively. They were sponsored by the Dramatic Club and were included in the public speaking speech program. The casts were as follows: L Jl to Right First Row Eugene Johst. Barbara Jane Reynold .

S. auditorium on May 15, as the albschool play. The play itself, a medley of mystery, farce, and intrigue, concerns the experience of William Magee, writer of lurid melo- dramatic novels, who has made a bet with his friend, Hal Bentley, that he can write a novel of ten thousand words in twenty-four hours. The place selected is a summer resort at the top of a mountain known as the Baldpate Inn. To this inn Magee repairs one bitterly cold night in mid- winter, satisfied that in this, the most lonely spot on earth, he will remain completely undisturbed for the time necessary to him. When he is left what is supposedly the one and only key to Bald- pate, startling developments occur. As the play comes to an end, he is found telephoning to his friend Hal that he has won the wager.

Davenport displayed excellent form by winning fifteen out of sixteen arguments to win the Iowa Nine debating championship. The affirmative won decisions from every Iowa Nine school except Iowa City, while the negative defeated every Iowa Nine team. Several dual meets were held during the 1936 season. A dual contest with the Cornell Col lege freshmen teams was held on February 14 in which no decisions were given because of the differences in debating styles between high school and college teams. Davenport split a dual meet with Monmouth at Monmouth on February 24, when its affirmative won and its negative lost. Davenport won both arguments of a dual meet with Geneseo on March 10. Moline lost two de- cisions to Davenport on March 18 in a contest at Davenport. Kewanee split a dual contest with Davenport on March 25. The local affirmative lost its debate while the negative won.

Her life work was helping to bring about appreciation of home life, friendliness, hospitality, and a spirit of cooperation. These ideals the club hopes to emulate. The club is open to all girls who have had work of any kind in the home economics department. The club colors arc green and yellow. Two interesting talks were given at club programs, one by Mrs. Frank Court on Home Life in Japan,” and one by Mrs. John Teague on “Experiences at the Peace Conference in Wash- ington, D. C.” The club members inspected the Federal Bake Shop experimental kitchen and made visits to the Wonder Bakery, the Antoine LeClaire house, and the octagonal house. The service committee collected magazines and playing cards for the entertainment of the people at the County Home. L(ft to Right -Firtt Row Faith Patton, Helen Keller, Maurine Keller.

The club was formed in the first semester of 1935, and there have already been 110 rolls of films developed and about 4500 pictures printed. For some of the main programs, demonstrations of developing and printing pictures were shown. A representative of the Eastman Kodak Company exhibited different types of cameras. At other meetings, proper methods of taking pictures were discussed. I ft to Right Fit i Row Patrici Wright. Betty Leake. Georgia Orcutt. Elnore Hunt. Janice Hunt. France White. GlaJy McDonald.

Carl Postcl Richard Bornholdt The present Senior Chapter of the Hi-Y is one of the most outstanding chapters in the his- tory of the Davenport organization, which fact is due largely to the good leadership and coop- eration of the members. This club has endeavored to create, maintain, and extend throughout the high school and community high standards of Christian character among boys of the teen age. It meets at the Y. M. C. A. on Thursday evenings of each week at 7:30. One of the important events of the year and one that made an indellible impression upon the minds of those attending was the Interstate Older Boys' Conference at Rock Island. The confer- ' 3 6 YEARBOOK THE BLACKHAWK cncc keynote, Thinking Straight, was sounded by Dr. Frank Slutz of Dayton, Ohio, nationally known educator. The Senior HiY, in conjunction with the Student Club, successfully carried through the Holy Week services at the Parish House. The most talkcd-about event was the first annual high school homecoming, which was spon sored by this club. In the morning there was a spirited parade of high school students through the business section of the city. The homecoming queen, sitting in a beautiful new car brought to Davenport from Chicago especially for the occasion, led the parade. All of the high school or- ganizations enthusiastically cooperated by competing for the prizes awarded to the best floats and cars. The bright spot of the homecoming was the dance in the evening at the Rock Island Arsenal auditorium, where 350 couples received appropriate favors. During the intermission the grand march was led by Sergeant and Mrs. Barlow. A substantial sum to be used for future homecomings was given to the high school by the Senior Hi Y. Sleigh rides, swimming parties, dancing parties, and wiener roasts were other social events of the year. That the members of this club are outstanding is shown by the fact that three out of the four boy senior class officers are Hi Y members.

The Davenport' ers failed to get a share in the Quad City title, and, although they were undefeated in the State, they were not considered for the State title, since they played only four Iowa foes. In the selection of the All-State teams, four members of the Davenport squad were men- tioned: Bob Jones, center on the first team, and George “Sonny” Franck, end on the third team. Russell Parsons and Dick Lorenzen were given honorable mention. L | to Rijtfil Fir� i Row IX-an Dor«, EJwin Tyler. Mark Gencrulaner. Charles Cummins. Robert Kincaid. Jack Alderdicc. Charles Brady.

William Meier. The 1935 season was played under the leadership of Walter Swanson and Harley Moore as captains. For 1936 Walter Beckmann was selected to lead the Red and Blue gridders, the elec- tion taking place at the annual football banquet. The Blue Devils felt their mettle at the beginning of the season and ran off with the first game, 14-0, playing Ottumwa on September 21 at the Brady Street stadium. The big, fast Davcn- port team made its debut in a thrilling game which left Coach Van Antwerp's Bulldogs gasping after the first defeat the Ottumwa team had suffered since 1932. Galesburg was the next foe, giving the Davenportcrs their first trip of the season to play on September 28. The uneven contest ended with an 18-0 decision in favor of the Daymen. Win ter. Junge, and Lorenzen crossed the chalk line for the three scores of the one-sided tilt, all threr of the touchdowns being made in the initial half. Coach Day substituted so freely in the second half, after the locals had their lead settled, that the bench was cleaned of substitutes. Expecting a tough game, the Davenportcrs were surprised to take their third tilt of the year on October 5, at the Davenport stadium, with a lead of 31-0, against East High of Des Moines. The crushing defeat of their visitors was a complete revelation to the Red and Blue, who were expecting a plenty hard assignment. Coach Mike Augustine's lads gained only 86 yards in rush- ing, while the Daymen were engaged in piling up 280 yards. After remaining unscored upon for three games, the first defeat of the season came to the Davenportcrs when they ventured across the creek to meet their arch-rivals, Moline, on October THE BLACKHAWK 3 6 YEARBOOK 18, under the lights, at Browning Field. The 5,500 fans, who packed the stadium to watch the nip-and-tuck affair, saw one of the fastest games ever played in Quad City circles. The Moline attack was a case of too much Cliff Petersen for Davenport. “Sonny” Franck's long punts were an outstanding feature of the Davenport game. Davenport's first big-time homecoming on October 26 was the occasion for the defeat of Clin- ton, 7-0, in a slow moving tilt. A pass from Lorenzen to Parsons was the sole touchdown made by Davenport against the stubborn guests from up the river. The crowning of the homecoming queen, Miss Floy Vogt, was an additional entertainment of the game. Hoping to get a better foothold in Quad City standing, Davenport journeyed to East Moline on November 2, when the Orange greatly surprised the former, and the tilt ended in a scoreless tie. The Davcnporters had a distinct edge over their enemies on the cold, rain-covered field, gain- ing 137 yards from scrimmage, while Coach Holmes' gridders took 77 yards. A crowd of 2,500 fans braved the inclement weather to sec the tilt. The longest trip ever taken by a Davenport athletic team was the occasion for the second Red and Blue defeat when they fell victims, 7-6, to the onslaught of the classy Maplewood, Missouri, team, at Maplewood, November 11, on a rain-drenched field. Maplewood issued a na- tional challenge for competition since, due to the quality of their ball club, their own local teams refused to play them. Junge, in the third quarter, made the first score of the game, this being the first time in the 1935 season that the Maple Leafs had trailed any team. In the fourth quarter, the hosts converted a touchdown and extra point to take the tussle. On November 16, at the Dubuque Homecoming, and before 2,000 fans, Davenport t«x k on the Key City lads, 9-0, with Franck and Lorenzen doing the scoring. Tilden Technical High School from Chicago visited the Davcnporters on November 23 to be defeated 20-6. Thanksgiving Day gave Davenport the last game of the successful year in the final Quad City tussle against Rock Island at the Public Schools stadium, where they won, 6-0, in the coldest game of the season. The victory was merely a case of being better Eskimos than the Crimson. All during the game, the wind howled, the snow fell, and the temperature dropped. Lorenzen went over for the only scoring of the cold, cold game. The football banquet was held on December 9, at the high school cafeteria and was at- tended by ninety-six football boys, the coaching staff, the Athletic Board, and several guests from the Orpheum, the newspaper staffs, and WOC. The letter awards were announced and Walter Beckmann, center and tackle, was chosen to lead next year's team. The whole group then attended a show at the Orpheum—and the 1935 football season passed into history. THE BLACKHAWK 3 6 YEARBOOK Sophomore Squad Left to Right—ftnt Ron HdwjrJ Haul. Manager.

The sophs made a conspicuous start by defeating DeWitt varsity, a feat no previous sopho- more squad had accomplished. In the first game in defense of the Quad City title they defeated Rock Island. East Moline provided the toughest competition of the season, Davenport win- ning by one point and only by a last quarter spurt. In the next game the sophs received their first defeat of the season at the hands of Moline. Playing a curtain raiser to the varsity home- coming, Davenport won over Clinton. The game with East Moline was called because of rain, and, in the next game scheduled, Moline again beat Davenport. In the final game of the season Davenport defeated Rock Island, making a seasonal total of five wins and two losses. Paul C.

The Clinton cagers, unprepared, since they were fresh from the gridiron, fell an easy mark. Warnken at forward scored 16 points. Davenport opened the Quad City season and their own away-from-home schedule simul- taneously when they handed a 42-20 defeat to the Orange and Black of East Moline. This was their first step toward the Quad City title, which they later won. Simmons handed in the scor- ing honors for the victors with 16 points. Meeting them on the George Edward Marshall Gym floor, Davenport plastered a 32-27 decision on the Iowa City lads. On New Years Eve, the Red and Blue, meeting their traditional rival, Moline, romped to a “Happy New Year over the highly-touted Maroons. Captain Lenvil Simmons shot 'em high, low, 'n everywhere to collect 22 points in the 45-32 decision. Grinnell, the runner-up of the state in 1935, scheduled as a new addition to the Red and Blue schedule, fell to the triumphant onslaught of the locals in their game of January 4. Winter scored 12 points for scoring honors in a 51-24 game. The excellent Mason City powerhouse. State champions of 1935, entertained the Mcxinmen on January 10. Both teams played almost perfect ball before a packed gymnasium where the fans were turned away a full hour before game time. Parsons, with 12 points, outplayed Stoecker, Mason City’s All-State center. Turning in his best game of the year. Parsons led his team to a 42-30 decision over their hosts. Judge Grimsley, the upstate coach, rated the playing of Bud Koehnke, guard, as one of the best performances he had ever seen. The following night, the tired Davenporters were entertained by a strong West Water- loo team. Davenport, playing much slower ball than on the previous night, eked out a 31-28 vic- tory for their seventh straight win. Journeying to Dubuque through a storm of snow and ice, Davenport expected to come home an easy victor, but the Red and Blue were handed the surprise of their collective lives when an inspired Dubuque team handed them a 39-33 defeat in an overtime game. Miller, the tall Key City center, was the destructive cog in the Dubuque offense with 20 points to his credit. In the last game of the first semester, the Blue Devils played host to Rock Island, whom they defeated, 38-21, allowing the Crimson only a brief six-minute taste of the lead in the early part of the tilt. This was the last game for Koehnkt, who was graduated with the January class. In the initial game of the second semester, Davenport proved that their earlier defeat of Mason City was no fluke when they defeated the State champs for the second time of the year in a thrilling see-saw game, won in the last two minutes, 34-29. The new combination which was used following Koehnke's leavetaking was that of Simmons and Cox at forwards. Parsons at center, and Warnken and Strassburger at guards (in reality a team of five forwards). THE BLACKHAWK 3 6 YEARBOOK Varsity Squad Lift to Right—Pint Row Lotii� StraMburgcr. Ruucll Par� on� .

On the following night, February 1, the locals trekked to Grinnell where they won 45-32, the reserves playing three full quarters. Traveling to Iowa City, the Davenporters flashed to a lead of 26-9 at the half and then loafed through to an easy 36-22 win. Behind 17-8 at the half, Davenport was saved from defeat only by a fourth quarter rally the next night when they trailed East Moline in the entire first three quarters of the tilt only to grab a thrilling 28-26 finish to advance their Quad City cause to the fourth straight win. Warn- ken came through with the winning goal in the last minute. On February 13, Davenport cinched its Quad City title by taking on Rock Island 33-23. After a 12-12 score in the first quarter, the Blue Devils' defense held Rock Island to three points in the next two quarters while stretching their own lead to 29-15. A game scheduled late in the season gave Davenport plenty to worry about when, on the night following the Rock Island game, they entertained the Maplewood aggregation from Mis- souri. Despite their advance publicity, the Leafs, led by the Orf twins, fell before the high-step- ping Hilltoppers, who grabbed a 37-28 verdict. The Missouri team was an hour and a half late in arriving and labored under the handicap of stepping from their train to start playing in the gym. Strassburger was the spark plug of the Davenport offense, dropping in five out of five tries at the free throw line, while Griffin, a reserve guard, turned in a sparkling performance. Clinton gave Davenport a terrible scare in the up-river gym when the Blue Devils, with Cox missing from their lineup because of sickness, had the narrow squeak of 33-28, which they suc- ceeded in landing in the closing minutes. Daurer, substituting for Simmons, dropped in two goals in the last two minutes to clinch the victory. In the return game of the year, Dubuque furnished little opposition to their hosts, who took turn about with a vengeance as they defeated their guests, 42-19. The packed house saw Sim- mons take 15 points as high scorer. THE blackhawk 3 6 YEARBOOK With four seconds to play, Strassburger dropped in a bucket to win the wild thriller of the Moline-Davenport game which was tied eight times. The score was 32-30. This was the last game of the regular season for the locals. Davenport was one hundred per cent accurate on the free-throw line, making six out of six tries, thus setting a mark for future teams to shoot at. In a post-season game, played for the band uniform fund, the D. H. S. alumni took the varsity, 38-36, when Lyle Nickle, 1930 player, defeated them with three final baskets in rapid succession. SECTIONAL TOURNAMENT On March 13 at the Jefferson Junior High gym in Clinton, Davenport opened its sectional tournament activities when it took on Lyons, despite the absence of Parsons with a sprained ankle. Clinton was the other team to fall before the Red and Blue, who defeated the former, 29-24, to grab the Class A sectional honors. DISTRICT TOURNAMENT The Davenport gym was the scene of the district meet on March 19, 20, and 21. First, Dav- enport put away Iowa City, 28-23, although Parsons was still out and Strassburger sick with ton- silitus. With the score tied three times in the last quarter, the Red and Blue were hard put to win from the smart University City team. With the score 30-27 and 59 seconds to go, Davenport came from behind to win the most thrilling game of the entire season, eliminating Burlington (the Little-Six Champions) from the district meet by the close score of 31-30. Parsons and Strassburger, the two cripples, were the luminaries of the tilt as well as Simmons, who took in 17 points. In the finals of the district, Fairfield fell easily before their hosts, 40-15, allowing a breathing spell after the close Burlington decision. STATE FINALS Journeying to the State finals at Des Moines in the Drake Field House, the Moonmen had high hopes of taking Webster City in the opening game to advance on towards the State title, but they were foiled, and the fighting Webster City lads defeated them, 32-29, in the upset of the State finals. For the third successive year Davenport won seventeen and lost one game during the regu- lar season. Davenport won the Quad City championship with six victories and no defeats. They were sectional champions for the eighth straight time and won the district title for the sixth time in the last eight years. Captain Lenvil Simmons was selected as forward on the Iowa Daily Press All-Star team, a place he deserved due to his outstanding play throughout the entire season. Louis Strassburger was selected on the third All-State team for the second year, and Russell Parsons received hon- orable mention among the many outstanding centers of the year. Davenport, handicapped all year because only one regular was barely six feet tall, made up for this lack of height by speed and clever ball handling. Using a fast break and zone defense, the 1935-36 team won recognition throughout the State of Iowa as one of the outstanding teams of the year. Varsity letters were awarded to Captain Simmons, Cox, Parsons, Strassburger, Warnken, Koehnke, Winter, Beckmann, Griffin, Junge, Lybarger, and Captain-elect, Lloyd Daurer.

Summary Following its usual trend, the membership of the High School Regiment has increased. Last year 475 cadets were enrolled; this year, there are 498. By a gradual chain of orders, the olive drab serge uniforms with the blue lapels and gold buttons arc now worn continuously by all cadets. Last semester the Junior Reserve Officers Club decided that since all cadets were wearing dress uniforms, officers should wear different collar orna- ments from cadets. Accordingly officers now wear crossed rifles, signifying infantry, on the blue part of each lapel, and the letters “U. S. in gold with the superimposed black letters “R. O. T. C.” on the olive drab part of the collar. Shields of blue with a wide red stripe running diagonally from the lower left to the upper right corner arc now worn on the left sleeve near the shoulder. The shields are the Davenport High School Regimental insignia. Each shield has a yellow “D,” signifying Davenport, on the upper right side, and a yellow ear of corn, signifying the State of Iowa, on the lower left side. The unit was visited informally on January 15, by Colonel R. H. McMaster, R. O. T. C. officer for the Seventh Corp Area. Colonel McMaster expressed general satisfaction with the condition of the Regiment and the progress being made here. The rifles of the unit were subjected to a federal inspection on March 11 and 12, with a federal ordnance officer as the inspector. The condition of the rifles was rated “above average. As the Yearb x)k goes to press so early, it is impossible to record the results of the annual federal inspection which took place on May 12, with THE BLACKHAWK 3 6 YEARBOOK Captain Harold H. Elarth of the 17th Infantry at Fort Crook, Nebraska, as the inspecting officer. An honor rating in this inspection entitles the members of the unit to wear a red star on their right sleeve. During last summer. Captain Lewis E. Reigncr was promoted to Major in the Field Artillery of the U. S. Army. Major Reigner will be transferred at the end of this school year to Fort Hoyle, Maryland, and with the beginning of the fall semester, Captain Kenneth S. Swcany will be the P. M. S. and T. here. The unit regrets the leaving of Major Reigner, as during his four years with the Davenport High School, he has done much to improve the standards of the Regiment. Competitive drill was held at Vandeveer Park on May 6, and the squads, platoons, and companies competed for the various honors. The winning groups were presented with placqucs, on which were engraved the names of the winners. The squad from Company C, Corporal Wil- lard Webb commanding, was awarded the placque for being the best drilled squad in the unit. The first platoon of Company D, commanded by Second Lieutenant Russell Zach, won the placque awarded to the best drilled plattxm in the unit. Company D, with First Lieutenant Wayne Shannon commanding, was adjudged the best company in the unit. In addition, the school presented the commander of the winning company with a regulation army sabre, which, after his name has been engraved upon it, becomes his permanent possession. The Davenport Chapter of the Reserve Officers Association presented the Regulation Silver Medal to the most outstanding cadet below the grade of officer. First Sergeant Edwin Burnett was the winner of the silver medal. To promote more interest in academic studies, blue bars, worn on the left sleeve, arc award' cd to the holders of ”E semester records. In addition, Kars for exceptional service, company conv petition, platoon competition, squad competition, liaison service, honor, military topography, per- sonal appearance, and rifle team were presented to those cadets who fulfilled the necessary requirements. The R. O. T. C. also sponsored the annual Military Ball which was held on January 10, at the Coliseum. The Centennial Rifles, a crack squad of sixteen men, formed this year, was the best drilled individual unit in the Regiment. Under the command of Lieutenant Eugene Johst, the squad per- formed before a gathering of the American Legion at the Rock Island Arsenal on April 21. The squad also performed before Major-General Johnson Hag xxl and his staff at the convention of the Reserve Officers of Illinois. The Girls' Rifle Club fired a match with the team from Iowa City on May 16 at the local range. The Boys' Rifle Team competed in the Little Camp Perry matches on March 13 and 14 at Kemper Military Academy, Booneville, Missouri. Seventy thousand rounds of ammunition were fired by the cadets of this Regiment and the rifle teams. Cor. Main and Second Sts.
