Your Blackhawk ? • •• The Blackhawk Annual Publication of the Senior Classes of Davenport High School Davenport Iowa 1937 Vol. 20 foreword This, the twentieth Blackhawk, may well be called the green aeroplane number. The aeroplane is a symbol of power and beauty, progress and promise. Although it has suffered many reverses, great things are expected of it as better inventions are perfected to make safe the airways. Great things are also expected of Davenport High School with its two thousand students, a student body larger than the population of many towns. As one must look up to see the flying aeroplane, so does D. H. S. look toward and strive for greater achievement. dedication Dear Miss Bissell: You know all about annuals. You know about deadlines, finances, proofreading, and the million and one other details that must be carefully watched over. This is your first year away from annual making. If we may judge by our experience, you found annual work both a great burden and a great joy. We dedicate this annual to you, Miss Bissell. We know that you, more than anyone else, will understand the work, pleasures, worries, and fun we have had. Affectionately yours, The Blackhawk Staff. In Memoriam FRANK L. SMART Although the death of Superintendent Frank L. Smart on October 7, 1936, at the age of seventy-four was not unexpected, it was with a sense of real personal loss that the teachers and students of the Davenport schools learned that the head of the pubi c schools system for the past thirty years was dead. Frank L. Smart came to Davenport as high school principal in 1906 and was appointed superintendent the following year. Born at Mt. Gilead, Ohio, in 1862, he attended Northern Indiana Normal at Valparaiso, and was graduated from Harvard in 1896. He was listed in Who's Who and last year the name of West Intermediate was changed to the Frank L Smart Intermediate. MISS ELLA BEHNKE MATTHEW LAWRENCE Miss Ella Behnke, instructor in the Davenport High School since 1888, died on Docomber 7. 1936, aftor a lingering illness. Born in Davenport in 1866, sho recoived her education in the local public schools and was valedictorian of her class. She was graduated from Chicago Univer- sity and continued her study of French at Columbia University, New York City. Formorly instructor of Gorman, she began teaching French in recent years, and had been active in her work until February, 1936. when she retired from high school. Mr. Matthew Lawronco, teacher of sociology, history, and printing classes, died October 12. 1936, after a brief illness caused by a streptococcus infection. Born in 1889 at Hudson, Illinois, he received succes- sive higher degrees from Shurtleff College, Alton, Illinois, and the Univorsity of Illinois. While teaching in Butte, Montana, he enlisted in the First Division at the beginning of the war, and taught at the Officers' Training School in France where he was second lieutenant. Mr. Lawronce came to Daven- port High School in 1922. ► table of contents faculty seniors publications speech music clubs athletics r . o . t. c . HU|| fm THE MONUMENT The Monument is a landmark familiar and dear to all who have attended Davenport High School. How many thousands of students have seen it daily since it was first erected in 1880! Each year, on May 30, it is the site of impres- sive Memorial Day ceremonies, honoring especially the veterans of the Civil War. Of late there has been considerable agitation in regard to its being torn down. We sincerely hope that this will never happen. •--------------------------------------------------------------------------- Greetings From Our Principal To the Graduating Classes of 1937: The time has arrived when you have closed your books for the last time. Your tasks with us have been completed. Now you leave Davenport High School to take your place in life outside the school. Whatever your calling in life may be, you need to remember that the chief requisites to success are the old-fashioned virtues—accuracy, honesty, promptness, fidelity, the acceptance of responsibility—the virtues which we so often neglect as being out of date. They will go out of date with the multiplica- tion table and the alphabet, not before. Without them you cannot expect to climb to any worthy position whatsoever. The elevator to success is not running; take the stairs. Facts you have learned will soon go from you and often are not worth remembering. But methods, insights, appreciations, understandings, values—extracted from many studies, as attar of roses from many flowers—these will abide and travel with you through the years. My best wishes are extended to you for a happy and a successful life's voyage. May you find your greatest future joys in work well done and in a life crowned with good deeds. May you always experience that of which Robert Browning wrote:— I find earth not grey, but rosy The heavens not dull, but fair of hue; Do I stoop? I pluck a posy; Do I stand and stare? All's blue. Sincerely, A. I. Naumann 4 Mr. Young. Boys' Adviser, came to Davenport High School last year. Ho organized the Service Club, ond in his spare moments, if advisers have spare moments, he helps direct the wrestling team. May the memories recalled by this record of your high school days be ever happier as time goes on, serving to remind you of the high ambitions which are yours today as members of the class of '37. I appreciate the opportunities I have had of associating with you this past year. Paul A. Young Miss Soohrcn, who succcods Miss Esther Bissoll as Girls' Advisor, camo to us this year from Bluo Island. Illinois. Sho is also gonoral advisor of Student Club. The richest treasures you will know will be the friendships you have made. May you ever cherish the friendships you have formed here at D. H. S., and the associa- tions with both fellow students and mem- bers of the faculty. Just girls! Than to know them and to work among them, here is my own Alma Mater, what more could one desire?

D U L C Y The major production which was the big ' hit” of the year was the three-act play Dulcy, written by Kaufmann and Connelly. It was presented in the high school auditorium Friday evening. April 16. t Beautifully staged and acted with almost professional ease, this hilarious comedy was enthusias- tically received by a large audience. Miss Elizabeth G. Andersch directed. The numerous laughter-provoking situations arose from the conflict of personalities assembled at Dulcy’s week end party. Scatter-brained Dulcy. with her ardent desire for furthering her husband s career and her equally rampant ideas on match-making, found her well-laid plans constantly going astray. The results of her helping were at times almost disastrous, but always comical.

These three speakers won first place in original oratory, extemporaneous speak- ing. and oratorical declamation respectively in the Iowa District Contest of the NFL at Oskaloosa. Bill Rivkin proved himself the twelfth best speaker in the nation at the Jacksonville meet. For the second consecutive year. Bill Rivkin won a state title.

This year, Rivkin, the Davenport representative in original oratory in the Iowa High School Forensic League, took first place in that division in the state finals at Iowa City on April 2. Sam Gilman ranked ninth in extemp. William Fravcr Robert Svcndten Wanda lee Carter Elaine Hummel Mary Jane Rivkin 61 THE 1937 The trophy for winning the greatest number of points in the entire Iowa Nine speech competition again goes to D. H. S. which captured 101 points compared to 80 for second-place Iowa City. The competition began in January when Davenport set a new record in the Boys' Declamatory contest. Sam Gilman, dramatic, and Bill Rivkin, oratorical, each received first place, while Bob Svend- sen took second in the humorous division. The Davenport representatives in the Girls' Iowa Nine Declam contest were Elaine Hummel, ora- torical, Wanda Lee Carter, dramatic, and winner of first place in Iowa Nine, and Mary Jane Rivkin. humorous. The concluding Iowa Nine contest of the year, extemporaneous speaking and original oratory, gave D. H. S. two firsts and a second. Bill Rivkin won first in the boys' extemp while Dorothea Guen- ther received first in the girls' extemp. William Fraser took second in original oratory. Affirmative DEBATERS The reps'' in the State Declamatory association were Mary Jane Rivkin in the humorous division, William Fraser in the oratorical, and Sam Gilman in the dramatic division. Fraser went the farthest, being eliminated at West Liberty in the District contest on March 30. Several dual contests completed the season. In an all girl contest with Muscatine, the D. H. $. speakers were Elaine Hummel. Dorothea Guenther. Wanda Lee Carter. Floy Latimer, and Mary Jane Rivkin. In the Boys' Declam contest with Muscatine, Merrill Baker, Oliver Hansen, Warren Engel, and Morris Tekosky spoke in the oratorical division; James Christensen, Louis Pannone, Harry Longenecker, and Donald Plumb in the dramatic division; and Stanley Kroeger, Bob Svendsen.

Those who spoke against Rock Island were Bill Rivkin, Sam Gilman, Julian Weigle, James Christensen. Stephen McShane, and William Fraser. The debaters of Davenport High have just completed another successful season of arguing. Start- ing the year with a rather mediocre team, Coach A. E. Keibcr turned out an aggregation which wound up fourth best in the state. Ames, the state champion. Iowa City, the runner-up, and Fort Dodge, third place winner, are ranked ahead of Davenport. The debaters captured two firsts, a second, and three fourths in six tournaments against the best teams in Iowa and Illinois. For the first time in history Davenport was represented in the tournament of the National Foren- sic League. The league, now in its seventh year, embraces over thirty states and includes all kinds of speech activities. To qualify for the national tournament at Jacksonville. Illinois, during the first week of May, the debaters had to win first place at Oskaloosa in the Iowa District Tournament of the NFL, or first or second place at Iowa City in the state finals. Since the team won second and fourth re- spectively in these tournaments, it failed to qualify for the national tournament. However, Davenport was invited to enter the debate team on the basis of its record during the year. That record stands at 57 victories against 21 defeats. D. H. S. emerged fourth out of twenty-three schools in the pre-season Augustana Tournament. The debaters took first place in the Iowa Nine Tournament for the second successive year. In the state series Davenport ranked fourth in the sectional, first in the district, and fourth in the state finals tournament. The debaters for the majority of the tournament debates were Bill Rivkin and Floy Latimer on the affirmative with Sam Gilman alternating, and Dorothea Guenther and Harry Longenecker on the negative with Oliver Hansen as alternate. Non-tournament debates with Geneseo, Monmouth, Kewanee, Moline. Princeton, and Burlington completed the schedule. For these debates William Fraser, Douglas Williamson, Dick Gadient, Nathan Ander. and Floy Latimer argued for the affirmative. James Christensen, Julian Weigle, Merrill Baker, and Curtis Bush debated on the negative. The debate question throughout the season was: Resolved: That all electric utilities should be governmentally owned and operated. Several outstanding individual performances were recorded during the season. Floy Latimer, first affirmative speaker, won nineteen straight debates before losing one. Dorothea Guenther, negative leader, is the first girl ever to become a team leader in Mr. Keiber's twenty-seven years of experience. Bill Rivkin, affirmative leader, was highest ranking speaker in the Iowa Nine Debate Tournament. This is the second successive year that D. H. S. has won that honor, Donald Krambeck, 1936 negative leader, having won it last year. 64 • •• Bob and Winfred in X. . . . Miss Johns explains. . . . Vera Babe'' Smith. . . .

In the latter part of May, under the direction of Miss Clara Thomas, Handel's ora- torio The Messiah was presented in the school gym. Over three hundred voices were used in this production. They were accompanied by the High School Orchestra and a Hammond electric organ. Davenport High School was fortunate in possessing a number of unusually fine singers who took the solo parts. Among these were Helen Mackenzie, soprano; Janet Heim, mezzo-soprano; Vera Schindler, contralto: Flora West, contralto; Stephen McShane, baritone; and Louie Maurer, bass. Kenneth Gfeller, tenor, was the guest soloist. He is a popular radio singer of Davenport. On the afternoon of December 18, 1936, the entire student body of Davenport High School en- joyed a program of Christmas music presented by the various choral groups. A few numbers were Lovely Appear,” sung by the Mixed Chorus, A Child is Born in Bethlehem sung by the Boys' Glee Club, Night Before Christmas sung by the Girls' Glee Club, and The Shepherd's Story, pre- sented by the A Cappella Chorus. After a Christmas tableau, the program ended with the whole high school singing Silent Night. Throughout the year our choruses, glee clubs, and quartettes have appeared on a number of pro- grams outside of school. The Girls' Glee Club and the A Cappella Chorus sang before the Business and Professional Women's Club, the National Commercial Teachers' Association, Rotary, and Kiwanis. They were also part of a Sunday afternoon concert at D. H. S., held on May 2, and they sang at each of the three intermediate schools. Some appearances called for a smaller group than the large, more unwieldy choruses, so Miss Thomas chose a small number for the informal semi-chorus. The semi-chorus sang for an A. A. U. W. meeting at Augustana College, for a meeting of Business and Professional Women, and at the Sunday afternoon concert at the high school. The First Quartette sang at the Davenport Woman's Club, at the Rotary Club, at Edward's Con- gregational Church, at the Calvary Baptist Church, and on a program for the Veterans of Foreign FIRST QUARTET Gut� Eastland Charles laucr Stephen McShane Louie Maurer Wars, and broadcast over WHBF. Both the First and Second Quartets appeared on the Sunday afternoon concert, and both quartets sang again at Commencement. The choral groups of high school practice and learn not only the numbers which they present on programs, but also many other numbers which they may or may not sing in public. A few of these are as follows: Girls' Glee Club 'Twas the Night Before Christmas A cantata by Lutkin The Snow........................................................

The Davenport High Band of eighty pieces has made the school proud this year by playing up to all of these qualities. At the football and basketball games it has faithfully represented the school. On October 23. the athletic department financed a trip to the Clinton football game. Several concerts and broadcasts were given. The concerts. November I. 1936, January 17. and April 4, 1937, were on Sunday afternoons in the auditorium. The organization also appeared in concert April 30 on the stage of the Capitol Theatre. The broadcasts were November 6, 1936. over WOC • •• January 27 over WOC, and a number of fifteen minute programs broadcast during band period over WHBF. With the cooperation of the Band Mothers' Club, the Band acquired the attractive red and blue uniforms, which received their first spots in the Homecoming parade of October 30. The Band led the R. O. T. C. units to Vander Veer Park for drills on several occasions, and it also took part in the Armistice Day Parade. November II, 1936. A Vodvil Show was sponsored by the Band on February 8. to help pay for its contest trips during the year. This is the second year for this popular show. To be a member of the Band, one is now required to pass perfectly an entrance test. To retain membership a minimum of six hours practice per week is necessary. Those who expect to play in con- test Band must pass all contest material at least ninety per cent perfectly. On April 9, which happened to be Mr. Mortiboy's birthday, the Band travelled to the district contest at Washington on a special train accompanied by Mr. Naumann, Miss Soehren, Mr. Young, and a number of band mothers. There, playing Colonel Bogey by Alford, and Overture to Phedre by Massenet, it gave Mr. Mortiboy his most valuable birthday present, a superior rating, which entitled it to participate in the state finals at Iowa City. Mr. Mortiboy is ably assisted by Mr. B. G. Schaefer and Mr. T. C. Collins who is a faculty new- comer this year. The instrumental music teachers insure that the high quality of the Band and Orches- tra will be maintained by teaching instrumental music in the intermediate schools of the city. Following the custom of the past two years, Mr. Mortiboy is giving the members of the Band the opportunity for summer band and orchestra training this vacation. THE BAND MOTHERS The band mothers were invaluable to the Band and Orchestra in all their undertakings. It was through their work that the organizations were able to attend the various contests throughout the state, and be attired in their flashy new uniforms. The Band Mothers' Club sponsored various social events and an extensive drive to make enough money to uphold the traditions of D. H. S. by having a fine appearing Band and Orchestra.

A play written by Marian Hansen, entitled “Sisterly Love, which was given at the Amateur Show, was presented by the girls at another meeting. There were also interesting excursions through the Sunlight Creamery and the Cheese and Macaroni Factory.

Girls who became members in the spring semester were initiated at a George Washington party held at the new Y. W. C. A. In addition, there were three other parties, a Hallowe'en Party, a Christmas Party, and a farewell party given by the 12B's for the l2A's. Normal Club membership is open to any girl pursuing the Normal course. Meetings are held on alternate Tuesdays at 3:45.

Nancy Simmons Comitium Romanum centered its program for the fall semester about the construction and furnish- ing of a replica of a Roman house. Boys of the ciub built the house, and various members helped to equip it. Wood. soap, and modeling clay were used to fashion couches, tables, altars, and lamps. The pools in the atrium and peristyle were of mirror. Velvet hangings shut off the rooms surrounding the atrium. The shops before the house were complete even to miniature vegetables, fruits, and bread. When the house was finished, several programs were devoted to explanation of how it was constructed, and to descriptions of the lives of its inhabitants. Programs for the spring semester featured travel talks on important Italian cities. Each program was presented in the form of a radio broadcast. This year for the first time honor awards were given to students in recognition of scholarship, interest, and participation in club activities. The awards are gold pins in the design of the Roman fasces. The regular Comitium Romanum pin is a miniature Roman lamp in gold with a D guard.

C. boys who were inter- ested in giving their services to Davenport High School in any manner which would assist with the activities program. It has been a voluntary organization not directly connected with the R. O. T. C., but under its supervision, in that only R. O. T. C. members in good standing, and having passing grades in at least three subjects, may be active. The group ushers, sells, and takes tickets at programs: ushers and does guard duty at football, basketball and wrestling events: and sells tickets, ushers and performs guard duty at school dances. The club has also taken charge of a checkroom in the gymnasium, the proceeds of which are deposited in the general activities fund of the high school. Officers of the day have charge of all members when on duty and are elected by the members themselves previous to the day of the event. All members are under military discipline while on duty, and infractions of the rules are settled by club court martial procedure. The R. O. T. C. Service Club entered a float in the home-coming parade last fall and won first prize in the most unique entry classification. Service to our school is the club motto, and the phrase fits them well. i Hl-Y Left to Riqht—First Row: Vincent McDonald, Joseph Matous, Tom Kelley, Ralph Lagoni, Robert Keller. Alton Selby.

THE BEE CLUB Bee Club members, under the leadership of Mr. Hitchings, spent a great deal of their time early in the spring in making Bee Veils. They had an observation hive, glass-enclosed, in the biology room. The club entered a float in the Homecoming parade last fall and won fourth prize. Mr. Hitchings was also adviser to the Skating Club. He's tops......... Yow— Tarzan! .... Today I yam a man .... What's going on here? . . . . Study hall enthusiasm — yeah, onthusiasm..........

Any number of pictures might have been selected as representative of its work—the forge and foundry, carpentry, printing, drafting—but the tables and lamps of this picture were chosen because they represent a new type of manual training. They show the possibility of combining wood and metal. There is no other high school in the United States, or perhaps in the world, that presents this course. Indeed, even commercial manu- facturers do not make articles that combine the modern finishes of chromium and nickle with polished wood.......... Work with pewter and combinations of metal and cork were introduced in the metal craft class of the art department this year. Some of the interesting projects of this course are shown below. , 90 THE COACHES ATHLETIC MANAGER...................................... LESLIE C.

Edward Schneider was awarded a position of guard on the mythical third team, while Warren Junge was given honorable mention as a fullback. An added attraction of the grid season was the playing of three games under the arcs of the Municipal Stadium. Ottumwa Coach Day's Blue Devils opened the grid season by walloping Ottumwa's Bulldogs to the tune of 32 to 0. Frequent substitutions were the only factors that kept the score from mounting even higher. The locals featured the game with long runs, brilliant line drives, and long forward passes. Touchdowns were scored by Griffin, Winter, Mahoney, Schlueter, and Chrysler, while Lucier and Pitts added the extra points. Dubuque In the first night game of the season more than 2,000 fans watched the Blue Devils score a last minute touchdown that knotted the score at six all, never to be broken. Hamann saved the game when he grabbed Winter's partially blocked pass on the five yard line. Loomis then smashed through the powerful Key City forward for a touchdown. Evanston On October 3. the team met its first defeat at the hands of the powerful United High football team of Evanston. Davenport's lone score was made in the first quarter when Chrysler connected with Pitt's aerial heave on the five yard strip and crossed the goal line. East Moline On a muddy battlefield a revised hilltop squad met East Moline in the initial game of the Quad City conference competition. Winter and Griffin scored touchdowns for the locals while Lucier made good two place kicks for extra points. Moline On October 16, a strong Moline team swept through Davenport, downing a stubborn Blue Devil eleven by a score of 19 to 6. The Moline defense completely baffled the local backs until late in the final period when Loomis almost single handed led an attack that was climaxed with a touchdown. The light rain that fell before game time failed to stop the brilliant Plow City backs, but made footing slippery enough to halt the aerial attack of both teams. Clinton Playing on a muddy field, the Blue Devils were overpowered by a speedy opposing team. The tight Clinton defense prevented the hilltoppers from penetrating far into the hosts' territory. Maplewood In the homecoming game Coach Day's gridders gained revenge for the Maplewood defeat of 1935 by trimming the Leafs 14 to 0 at the Brady Street Athletic Field. From start to finish the locals completely outclassed the Missourians. The powerful Davenport line continually opened large holes in the invaders' forward wall. Lucier and Bender scored the Blue Devil touchdowns, while Lucier added the extra points with a pair of place kicks. East Des Moines Playing on a soggy field and numb from the cold weather, the Blue Devils' plan of attack failed to function as a light shifty East Des Moines team pushed over a line touchdown on their own field to win by a 6 to 0 decision. Rock Island The Davenport gridders ended the '36 season by upsetting Rock Island s Crimson grid warriors with a 13 to 12 score in a thrilling turkey day tilt on the latter's lot. Davenport took a 13 to 0 lead but saw the advantage dwindle in the second half when the Illinois team scored two touchdowns. Winter and Loomis went over the cherished line for the Davenporters while Lucier converted the deciding point of the game. The 1936 football season passed into history a I the annual football banquet in the D. H. S. cafe- teria December I 7, when Leonard Lucier was elected to succeed Walter Beckmann as captain of the Red and Blue. Afterwards the group were guests of the Orpheum Theatre. Major letter winners for the season were: W. Beckmann, Alderdice, R. Beckmann. Bender. Bridge, Chrysler, Griffin, Hamann, Harmon, Hoenscheid, Junge, Kennefick, Knouse, Koester, Langan, Loomis, Lucier, Mahoney, Maas, Meier, Pitts, Schneider, Winter, and Bronner.

Siegel's field goal, with but 20 seconds of play remaining, tied the score, and Mahoney's basket gave the Davenporters the decision. East Moline In a nip and tuck affair, with the score tied six times during the last half. Davenport won the firs game of Quad City competition by a 27-24 score from East Moline. Goals by Dohse. Daurer, and Winter in the last quarter won the game. Clinton The Red and Blue had little trouble overshadowing Clinton’s River Kings by a 31-18 score. Fre- quent substitutions on the part of Coach Moon were the only factor that kept the score from mount- ing even higher. Mason City With accurate shooting and fast floor work the Blue Devils completely outplayed Mason City in winning the 25-16 encounter. Siegel. Winter, and Daurer led the scoring with 7 points apiece. Waterloo 'Twas the night before Christmas Eve when the Blue Devils met their Waterloo at the hands of a strong West Waterloo quintet by a 28-15 count. This loss was the first in five starts of the season. Lucier's play was outstanding for Davenport. Moline Davenport's Blue Devils suffered a severe jolt New Year's Eve as a speedy Moline team ushered out the old year as well as Davenport when they romped through a bewildered Red and Blue quint with a 43-16 score. This win was the first for the Maroons over Davenport in seven starts. Rock Island Rock Island continued to humiliate the Blue Devils as they gained a 36-24 victory. A dazzling third quarter, in which the Islanders counted 16 points, sank the Davenport hopes. Hamann's playing was our only bright spot. Dubuque With Captain Daurer on the injured list, Bob Hamann and Lucier provided the necessary punch that ended a three game losing streak as they collected 9 and 8 points respectively in a 30-15 win over the Key City five. An almost air tight defense held the up-river team to one field goal in the first quarter and 6 points, the most in any quarter, came in the second period. Iowa City After getting off to a fast start, the Blue Devils were unable to continue the hot pace and slipped behind in a thrilling battle that saw the lead change time after time and finally fall to Iowa City with a 24-21 score. Lucier paced the Davenport attack with 8 points. This was the first victory for them in eight years, and especially sweet because Coach Merton is a former Davenport High athlete. Burlington The Blue Devils lost to a fine team as the Burlington Greyhounds, the lads of the flashy suits, grabbed an early lead and protected it throughout the encounter, winning 37 to 28. Hamann's 8 points looked best for the Red and Blue. East Moline The tight defense of the Blue Devils helped to gain a 33 to 24 decision over the East Moline team. Captain Daurer. with 10 points, paced the Davenport team. Mason City Again, with a perfect working defense, the Blue Devils got off to an early start and had little trouble keeping in front throughout the contest. Hamann and Siegel each contributed 10 points to lead the scoring. Burlington A powerful Davenport team easily downed a graduation-stricken Burlington quintet by a one sided 40 to 26 margin. The play of the two guards, Griffin and Dohse, was outstanding. St. Ambrose In a game with the referees calling fouls close throughout the contest, the Blue Devils won from St. Ambrose Academy by a 26 to 20 count. Hamann played his last game for Davenport High. Siegel was chief scorer again as he accounted for 16 of Davenport’s points. Dubuque After trailing for three quarters, the Blue Devils put on a spirited rally, netting eleven points in the final period to cinch the struggle with Dubuque. It was Dohse who was responsible for the Blue Devil s sensational rally, driving through for throe goals and a free throw in the last few minutes of the game. Wilson High In a wild scoring spree the Blue Devils met little resistance from Wilson High of Cedar Rapids as they massed a total of 48 points against their opponents' 15. Siegel with 20 and Mahoney with 10 points scored twice as much as the Cedar Rapids aggregation could tack up during the entire thirty-two minutes. Roosevelt High Going into the game, conceded but a slight chance in upsetting the loop leading Roosevelt five, the Blue Devils played one of their best games. Throughout the contest neither team led by more than one basket, the score being tied eleven times. The regular game ended 18-18. The first over- time period ended 20-20, and the second overtime 24-22 as Griffin and Dohse dropped in the win- ning goals. Rock Island Coach Moon's Blue Devils avenged an earlier defeat by downing the Islanders by a 36-23 count. The Red and Blue displayed remarkable ability at the free throw line as they dropped in 16 out of a possible 19. Lucier led the scoring with I I points. Clinton In a thrilling battle Siegel swished the net in the closing seconds of play to give the Blue Devils an 18-16 win over Clinton. Siegel and Lucier paced the Davenport team in scoring with 7 and 6 points respectively. Moline The Moline boys handed the Blue Devils their first defeat on the home floor since 1935 and also broke a nine game winning streak when they piled up 17 points in the opening period, winning by a score of 29-20. Sf. Ambrose The Red and Blue men ended their regular schedule by demonstrating their superiority over St. Ambrose Academy in a 26-13 win. Daurer led the scoring with his II points. SECTIONAL TOURNAMENT In the first game of sectional play the Blue Devils had a narrow escape as they outscored Clinton 27-25. Siegel chalked up 13 points in this free throwing contest in which thirty-four personal fouls were called. After defeating Clinton, the Blue Devils had little trouble disposing of Lyons as Siegel tacked up five field goals to lead the scoring. Lucier scored 9 points. At the sound of the timer's gun the Red and Blue were ahead by a 33-16 score. Beckmann s sensational scoring of three successive goals was the high point of the game. Davenport won their ninth successive sectional championship and earned the right to participate in the district tournament when they eliminated De Witt by a 28-20 score. Mahoney's passing and all around play stood out from an otherwise tired and listless Davenport performance. DISTRICT TOURNAMENT In the first round of the District Tournament the Blue Devils won a thrilling overtime battle from a powerful Muscatine quintet as Bender tied the score in the closing moments of play, and then came back to win the game with a field goal in the extra period. Griffin's playing was without doubt the best game of his career. Led by sharpshooting Siegel who scored 20 points. Davenport finally came from behind late in the third period to take a one point lead. In the final period Dohse and Siegel dropped in four baskets in rapid succession to cinch the victory from West Liberty by a 37-31 score. The Blue Devils added another district championship as they put on a final period drive, scoring I I points, to insure them a 35 to 25 win over Monticello. Mahoney's four goals in the last quarter rally put the game in the bag. STATE FINALS In the most thrilling game of the opening round of the tournament Davenport lost an overtime game to Newton. With only three seconds to play Newton made a free throw tying the score 29-29. In the breath taking overtime period Newton went on to win 33-30. Again the all around playing of Dohse and Siegel stood out for Davenport. Davenport was sectional champion for the ninth straight time and won the district title for the seventh time in the last nine years. Victor Siegel was honored by being placed as forward on the second All-State team selected by the Iowa Daily Press Association. Both Captain Lloyd Daurer and Kenneth Dohse received honorable mention for their superior playing throughout a long and successful season. At a meeting of the Iowa High School Coaches Association in Des Moines Coach Paul C. Moon was elected president for the ensuing year. Varsity letters were awarded to Captain Daurer, Griffin, Lybarger, Siegel, Winter. Beckmann, Bender, Dohse, Hamann. Jensen, Lucier. Maas, Mahoney, and Meier.

As the yearbook goes to press, only a few of the meets have been run off. There are still seven meets in which the varsity squad will compete and six for the sophomore squad. Baseball was introduced into the athletic set-up this year and a tentative schedule planned for the spring with cities of Iowa and Illinois. Coach Merle Makeever is in charge. ..........if you prefer WRESTLING Among the wrestlers, coached by O. E. Johnson, Carl Garcia was the captain of the squad this year.

Recognized for the first time as an official sport in the high school athletic setup, the D. H. S. golf team planned a full season, including an invitational tournament with more than 100 entries. Russell W. Bickford is coach of the team. In the fall of 1936 the team won three out of four matches, defeating Rock Island twice and splitting two engagements with Clinton. It is hoped that this spring meets may be scheduled with most of the schools in the Mississippi Valiey Conference as well as Quad City schools. Students who have competed in this sport are Jack Alderdice, Art Bedeian, Earl Blunk, Randolph Drish, Henry Finch, Charles H. Kruse, and Victor Siegel. BOYS' INTRAMURAL SPORTS During the past year over three hundred boys have participated in an extensive intramural sports program. Morning leagues of volley ball, basketball and apparatus were formed. Intramural wrestling and handball, a sport of growing popularity, were also offered. The Gymnastic Club, a group composed of squad leaders was organized this year. D's are awarded to boys who earn eighty-five points during one semester or one hundred points a year. A forty-five minute period of activity constitutes one point. Students receiving their D's the first semester were A. Garcia, C. Garcia, Cutting, Trost, Gebelein, Heidel, Huss, Jobst, Judisch, Powell, Pulde, Smithiger, Warner, and Wolfram. TENNIS The tennis team of Davenport High School has also had a place on the calendar of sports events. Last fall it had a short schedule, but one which was filled with a list of strong opponents. The team opened the season with a Quad City meet held at Riverside Park in Moline in which Rock Island placed first, Davenport second, Moline third, and East Moline fourth. The Davenport boys played the Rock Island boys in two matches, the Islanders winning both encounters. The Davenport girls met the Rock Island girls in two matches, tying one and losing one. The spring of 1937 will see several interesting matches between the Quad City schools. Students who competed are Robert Jensen, Robert Bates, Robert Milversted, Howard Kennedy, Janet Burmeister, Dorothy Milversted, Marian Baw- den, and Marian Soenke.

C. unit in each of two high schools in New York City. Shortly after the opening of the new semester a series of examinations covering all phases of the R. O. T. C. training was given to all officers and noncommissioned officer candidates. Appointments from Colonel down to Corporal were based on these examinations and demonstrated ability. This policy of promotion on merit and ability has been strictly adhered to throughout the year. The winter months were devoted to theoretical training for all classes. Lectures, quizzes, rifle range work, and comprehensive examinations filled the schedule. During the fall and spring semesters, a series of colorful regimental reviews and parades were held in Vanderveer Park. This year the High School Band has played at all regimental formations, greatly adding to the colorfulness of the occasions. Parents and friends have been cordially invited to be present at these ceremonies. According to custom the regiment, 500 strong, participated in the Armistice Day parade cere- monies held in Le Claire Park. One of the big social events of the year was the Military Ball, given by the R. O. T. C. Friday evening, December il, 1936. More than three hundred couples were in attendance at this gala occa- sion. High ranking army, Iowa State National Guard, and city officials were invited as guests o? honor.

These young ladies, escorted by Cadet Colonel Hass and Cadet Majors Lagoni and Krauss, led the grand march. The Honorary Colonel and her two Majors were presented with attractive trophies donated by leading jewelers of the city. Monday evening, March 8, 1937, Captain Gweany entertained the members of the Reserve Officers' Club at his home. Moving pictures of the life of a West Point Cadet, and the defense of the Hawaiian Islands, were shown by Captain Barth, U. S. Army Engineers. Rock Island Arsenal. In May, the Reserve Officers reciprocated with a dinner held at the Blackhawk Hotel. Captain and Mrs. Kenneth Sweany, and Sergeant and Mrs. David Barlow were the guests of honor. On May II, 1937, the annual federal inspection took place. The regiment was striving for an Honor rating. As this book goes to press the results are unknown, as are also the results of the annual competitive drill. 107 COMPANY A CAPTAIN FIRST LIEUTENAN1 GEORGE TOWNSEND ROBERT EARL PETERSEN (Attachod) LIEUTENANT COLONEL MARVIN KRAUSS SECOND LIEUTENANT .

BOYS' RIFLE CLUB The Rifle Club is part of the R. O. T. C. department. Under the direction of Sergeant Barlow the group has performed very creditably this year in spite of the fact that it is a newly organized unit. The riflemen shoot each week at the range under the gymnasium practicing the standing, kneeling and prone position shots required in match firing. Activities of the year included competition in the Hearst trophy matches and a meet with cadets from a Missouri military academy who came to Davenport High School for the occasion. According to Sergeant Barlow prospects for next year are excellent as there are a number of out- standing members in the club who are returning in the fall, and who should do good work in the series of rifle meets and telegraph or mail matches which will be scheduled. • •• ----------«I The solicitation of the ads for the succeeding advertising section is due to the efforts of these people.
