'lite BIguJzJuzwJz Davenport High School Davenport, Iowa Volume XXII We go to Classes We go to Gym and the Athletic Field We Socialize QteetistCfA,, jpUzA,, the staff of the 1939 Blackhawk introduces your guide and invites you to follow him on a year-long tour of the grounds and buildings of that part of Davenport known as the high school area and the athletic field. We have a long way to go so let us begin our travels at once by taking a walk to the administration building where all school business is transacted. Below the picture of the building are the trans- actors, the school board, which consists of Mrs. Elizabeth Griggs, Dr. Edward F. Strohbchn, Mr. John Baumgartner, Mr. W. L. Mason, Superinten- dent Irving H. Schmitt, Mr. Fred Gruenwald, Rev. Louis G. Krebs, Dr. Alfred J. Meyer, and Mr. William M. Brandon. All students of Davenport High School know that the third picture is a snap of the book room in the basement of the administration building. It is presided over by Mr. Walter Seiffert. P ieAe ttin(f, Mr. Irvin H. Schmitt, well known to everyone as the city’s superintendent of schools. Work- ing from his office in the Ad- ministration building, he forms the chief link between the schools and the city of sixty-one thousand. The school district has an assessed tax valuation of $55,718,901 in real estate. Owi P'UncU ial, Mr. A. I. Naumann, heads Davenport High School’s faculty of seventy-four teachers and supervises the six and one-half hour school day of the two thousand one hundred boys and girls who come from a district of seventeen and three-quarters square miles. High school prin- cipal for seven years, Mr. Nau- mann works with Superinten- dent Schmitt on Davenport High School’s educational problems. These pen and ink sketches were drawn from recent photo- graphs by the yearbook art staff. Mr. Schmitt has had an ex- ceptionally busy year as the city voted a $1,346,000 bond is- sue for the erection of new schools and repair of old ones. 6 Business and Health Leaving the administration offices of the entire school system, the little guide leads the way across the campus and up the main building’s wide stone steps. From the busy office on the first floor all the activities of the high school are directed. Taking care of the routine office work are Miss Hertha Hauptmann and Miss Viola Volkens, who in her extra duties as attendance clerk, often makes that perplexing and sometimes embarrass- ing inquiry, “Where were you yesterday?” Prin- cipal A. I. Naumann’s secretary, Mrs. Norma Post, is also registrar. Fully accredited, and maintaining a Class A rat- ing, Davenport High School has a student enroll- ment of more than 2100, 326 of whom pay tuition. In one semester Dr. Carl H. Mat- they, the city schools doctor, gave 2060 high school students physical examinations, and Miss Wilna Nash, D.H.S.’s first full time nurse, treated 978 patients for accident or illness, transferred 709 into the first aid rooms, and dismissed 943 from school. The numbers for the second semester were much higher, due to the flu epidemic in the spring. f ll t Above: Mr� . Principal A.

Young, who fill positions correspond- ing to a college’s deans of women and men. The advisers help solve all sorts of problems, and straighten out any social or scholastic maladjustments that may occur. One of their chief duties is giving guidance in the selec- tion of subjects and the arrangement of a student’s course in view of fu- ture occupations. Both Miss Soehren, who supervises all club work, and Mr. Young, sponsor of the Service Club and President of the Iowa Guidance Association, have worked in assembling a library of nearly two hundred books and more than five hundred pamphlets on vocational, social, moral and ethical guidance. I’il Above: Miss I,eona L. Soehr Kiris’ adviser. Center: Mr. A. Young, boy ' adviser. Below: Barbara Horton and Marjorie Griggs consulting books in the guidance library. 9 JANUARY - - Study Room A was home room for 147 seniors who graduated in January, eighty-eight boys and fifty-nine girls.

Most of the English teachers have their rooms here, although a few, including Miss Hortense Finch, the department’s head, are on the second floor. Instruc- tors in sophomore English and literature are Miss Jean MacDonald, Mr. Merle E. Makee- ver, Mr. Frank L. Madden, Miss Margaret West, Miss Gail Lapham, Miss Mabel John- stone, and Miss Josephine Mirfield. Although the greater part of their work is done in other subjects, Miss Flossie Bates, Miss Enid Burns, Miss Minnie Eskelson, and Miss Mae Elma Wicks are also members of the English division as they usually instruct some classes in composition or literature. This department has by far the largest enrollment, 1790 students the second se- mester, since English is one of the required courses at Davenport High School. Each stu- dent must take a year of English grammar and a year of either American or English literature, having the privilege of choosing college preparatory courses in the latter subjects. In addition, courses in English composition and business English are offered. Figure it out “If AB equals CD is often heard in I). U.S.’s mathematics de- partment, for there students can learn both plane and solid geometry, alge- bra, higher arithmetic, and trigonom- etry. For those interested in commer cial work a course in business arith metic is taught. Mr. Jesse E. Day, Mr. Paul Turner, Mr. Oliver Olson, and Mr. W. S. Ros- ing preside over classes in algebra, business arithmetic, and plane geom- etry. Miss Marie O. Rearick and Mr. Russell W. Bickford specialize higher math. Swilfd. Mix Reariek.

E. Keiber is the head man here. You can go from Los Angeles to New York and all along the way you will find former pupils of Mr. Keiber who have made their mark in the world. His specialty is debate, for this year he coached the state championship team composed of Hob Ray, Curtis Bush, Germaine Hotter, Charles Rehling and Joe Sitrick. On the debate squad this year were Charles Rehling, Germaine Hotter, Douglas William- son, Beverly Lieberstein, Joe Sitrick and Kenneth Dierks on the affirmative, while Jean Aldredge, Cur- tis Bush, Bob Ray, Jack Tunwall and Jane Shipton composed the negative. They participated in the Speech representative : Front row, Catherine Harmeier. Hob Hay. Germaine Potter. Second row. Joe Sitrick, Charles Rrhiing, Curtis Hush. Douglas Williamson, Alan Dipplc. Stanley Kroegcr. and Isadore Katz, not on this picture, also won the right to represent Davenport in contests. Iowa Nine debates and in the debate tournament at Augustana College. All in all there were sixty-eight debates this year; twenty-four of these were vic- tories for the affirmative while the negative has twenty-two victories to its credit. In original oratory Joe Sitrick, representative to Boys’ Iowa Nine, was given a superior rating and Leo Ziffren was state representative. In the Quin-City original oratory contests Joe again reached first place. His team mates were Alan Dipple, Wendel Ginsberg, James Hamre, Robert Kem, Beverly Lieberstein, Bill Shannon and Leo Ziffren. As National Forensic Lea- gue representative at Oskaloosa Joe Sitrick captured another first place. The Iowa Nine representative in his division was Alan Dipple.

L. contests Charles Rehling and Germaine I’otter con- tested for D. H. S. The team in the Quin-City ex- temporaneous tournament was composed of Curtis Bush, Germaine I’otter, William Puls, Bob Kay, Charles Rehling, Walter Sanford, Otto Schroeder, Jane Shipton, Ross Sidney, Jack Tunwall, Dwayne Wiggins, and Douglas Williamson. Curtis Bush and Otto Schroeder tied for first place. Oratorical declamation representative at the series of state contests was Joe Sitriek. Germaine Potter received the rating “good” at the Girls’ Iowa Nine contest, and Isadore Katz received an “excellent” rating at Boys’ Iowa Nine. At the N. F. L. district contests Joe Sitriek was the representative in ora- tory. The I). H. S. team for the Quin-City oratory contests was composed of Alan Dip- pie, James Hamre, Isadore Katz, Joe Sit- rick, Leo Ziffren and Charles Rehling. Charles took second place in the finals. Two dual meets with Muscatine in this division were also held. In dramatic declamation laurels have been won. Camilla Winchell was state series representative. Catherine Harmeier, Girls’ Iowa Nine representative won a superior rating. Representing I). H. S. at Boys’ Iowa Nine was Walter Sanford who received an “excellent” rating. Representatives for the N. F. L. district contest were Camilla Win- chell and Catherine Harmeier. In the Quin- City dramatic declamation contest, the team was composed of Jean Aldredge, Beverly Lieberstein, Belle Sirota, Germaine Potter, Camilla Winchell and Catherine Harmeier. Two girls' dual meets with Muscatine were conducted in this division. Those in need of a laugh should consult the humorous declamation department. Bob Ray was representative in the state con- tests, and Beverly Lieberstein and Stanley Kroeger both received excellent ratings at the Girls’ and Boys’ Iowa Nine contests re- spectively. At the N. F. L. contests for this district Camilla Winchell and Catherine Harmeier represented Davenport. Catherine took a first place at this contest. There were girls’ dual meets with Muscatine in humorous declamation also. Joe Sitriek, one of the best “Pub” students, re- ceived a superior rating in radio speaking this semester. This year Davenport High School sent Germaine Potter, Catherine Harmeier, Joe Sitriek, Bob Ray, Curtis Bush and Charles Rehling to the national contests of the National Forensic League at Beverly Hills, California. The contest dates were June 18-23. Germaine was a delegate to the Student Congress of the N. F. L., in addition to being a member of the aflimative debate team. Catherine competed in humorous declamation, Joe in oratorical declamation as well as on the negative debate team. Curtis was a negative debater. Charles an affirmative debater, while Bob was entitled to go to the national contest this year because he took part in national competi- tion last year. Humorous declamation and negative debate were his fields. Mrs. Keiber accompanied Mr. Keiber and the contestants. 47 In the music room, with its grand piano and its pictures and busts of famous composers, or in the main auditorium across the hall, three hundred songsters and songstresses warble at various times of the day. Their vocal efforts are directed by Mr. Kent Gannett, who often serves as a judge in musical contests, and Miss Clara L. Thomas, city supervisor of vocal music. Bill Kroeger accompanies and arranges for Miss Thomas’ groups, and Doris Gray plays for Mr. Gannett. The Girls Glee Club, active only the first semester, and both A’Cappella Choruses sang at school assemblies and on the Christmas program. A feature of this was “Sleepy Dreamy Time,’’ the words and melody of which were written and sung by Louis Feeney, a member of one of the latter groups. The audience joined in singing the second chorus and the Christmas carols which followed. A’Cappella members practiced long on such numbers as Dargomijsky’s “Vanka V Tanka,” arranged by Kibalchich, and “Beautiful Savior,” by Christiansen. “La Boiteuse (Grizzley, Grumpy Granny),” a Belgian folk song arranged by Deems Taylor, and Edward German’s “My Bonnie Lass She Smileth” were in the Girls Glee Club repertoire. Because the music literature for a mixed group is much better and of wider scope, the Boys Glee Club was discon- tinued last semester in favor of a second A’Cappella Chorus. The usual quartets and other small groups, however, contin- ued to give fine entertainment. Lyle Beresford was first tenor in the boys’ quartet. Hay Dismer second tenor, Bill Long was “barreltone,” and Frank Sley hit the bass notes. Lyle and Frank were also members of the mixed quartet in which they joined their voices with Bernice Fries’ soprano and Betty DeHaven’s alto. In the D. H. S. Harmonizers, the colored quartet which specializes in negro spirituals, the first tenor part was sung by Ed Davis, second tenor by Eugene Payton, baritone by Robert Peeples, and bass by Bill Garret. Mi� Clara L. Thom a� and Mr. Kent Cannrtt Do -mi-sol-do 48 SirUf, gmA be It fLfUf, Prances Cassling, Bernice Fries, Jane Ohlsen, Betty DeHaven, Arline Smith, and Betty Maxwell made up the girls’ sextet, district vocal contest winners, while soprano Marlowe Linke, mezzo- soprano Jane Ohlsen, and tenor Lyle Beresford carried away district honors in their respective fields, thus earning the privilege of representing I). H. S. in the state contests at Iowa City. All the mu- sical groups made many public appear- ances for such organizations as churches, I . T. A., Women’s Club, and on the radio. Since the contest plan has many draw- backs, among them the fact that only a few can participate due to transportation costs, and because the feeling of competi- tion detracts from the true beauty of choral groups, this year a non-competi- tive music festival was held at Waterloo on April 29, Davenport, Dubuque, and Fast Waterloo participating. A Turkey Hop Dance at Thanksgiving, a card party on March 3, and a dance on March 24 supplied funds for transportation. A two semester course in music appre- ciation is taught by Mr. Cannett in which students learn how to listen to good mu- sic and study the melodies of various countries and nations and the lives of great composers and illustrations of their compositions.

II. S. grads from starving, at least. To visit the language teachers the guide goes upstairs to the second floor, on which are most of their rooms. Spanish, German, and French may each be taken for three years, and four years of Latin are taught. Miss Florence Anderson’s query is “Sprechen Sie Deutsch?” Miss Dorothy Blackman and Miss Virginia Mapes, a faculty newcomer who also teaches Spanish and English, are pleased if you can answer “Oui” to “Parlez-vous fran- cais?” Miss Flossie Bates and Miss Minnie Eskelson help students learn about the travels and adventures of Caesar, Virgil, and Aeneas. Miss Bates and Miss Eskelson also instruct classes of 11B composition. SHELVES of BOOKS Miss Anne Jorgensen reigns supreme in the high school library, taking care of the classification and circulation of the eight thousand books and over seventy magazines which comprise its collection. English and social science students especi- ally find the library useful for reference work. The average daily circulation is between three hundred and four hundred volumes, mostly non-fiction. 54 SOCIAL STUDIES Goins upstairs and downstairs like “Goosey, Goosey Gander,” the little guide has to stop for breath in visit- ing all the social science teachers. Down in the basement Miss Inez Whitney, home economics department head, deals with the facts of crime, poverty, marriage, schools, and the church in giving students an intro- duction to sociology. Still on the lower floor, Mr. Boyd Collins and Mr. George Potter expound their views on American and European history, while Mr. Denzil Nelson on first floor and Miss Lucille Burianek on second also teach the same subjects. Since a year of American history and a semester of civics are required for graduation, Mr. N. H. Ringstrom and Mr. M. W. Schultz specialize in these fields, aiding in the department’s aim to make Davenport’s future vot- ers capable of handling the commun- ity’s problems. Discussing such sub- jects as capital, labor, prices, and taxes, Mr. Schultz also teaches classes in economics, and Mr. Ringstrom, head of the social science department, is the the newly inaugurated course in contemporary affairs. Mr. Merle Makeever joined the ranks of civics teachers this year. The Hawkeye Boys’ State election headquarters was room 59, and Mr. Schultz was in complete charge at the high school. Sealed: Mr. M. W. Schultz, Mi� � Lucille Burianek, Mr. N. II. RinKstrom. Standing:: Mr. Denzil Xel� on, Mr. Boyd M. Collin� . Mr. George Potter. SHE TEACHES TEACHERS Up on the top floor, the guide enters the room where Miss Elsie Wallace teaches English, methods, and school management, and supervises normal training, offered in D. H. S. since 1915. By far the greater number of the girls (excuse us, there is one boy enrolled!) taking normal training live in the country, and this year there were ten seniors in the de- partment of sixty. With a year each of algebra and domestic science as prerequisites, future schoolma’ams study psychology, school management, and teaching methods, and in addition take science, English, mathematics, history, geography, physiology, economics, agriculture, art, and music. The State Department of Public Instruction arranges the en- tire course. Senior girls receive previews of the trials and dilemmas of teachers during the week of rural practice teaching required for the graduation certificate, and those passing the exams given by Mr. H. A. Banze, county superinten- dent of schools, are honest-to-goodness teachers. Two- thirds of those enrolled travel on to I. S. T. C. for further training. YEARBOOK MAKERS Layouts to make, pictures to get, deadlines to meet — sometimes these seemed distant destinations to the year- book staff and Miss Enid Burns, the yearbook’s faculty adviser, and then suddenly they would loom with disturb- ing proximity. But at last each was met safely, and the result — the 1939 annual. This, the twenty-second “Black- hawk.” is the third yearbook published under Miss Burns’ direction and supervision. All the art work and layouts were under the direction of Miss Dorothy Doennecke as- sisted by Ross Sidney, Walter Korn, Otto Schroeder, and Mignon Beyer who made the pen and ink sketches of the little man who serves as a guide on this journey. Co-heading the editorial staff, Mary Loring did the departmental write-ups and those on vocal music, expres- sion and publications, and Kathryn Fleu took care of the senior sections, listing the activities of each graduate. Marjorie Messenger penned the words on instrumental music and girls’ gym, and public speaker Catherine Har- meier wrote on the high school’s official talkers. The sports section has a professional air because its editor, Walter Sieb, reports all the high school athletic events for the Davenport Times. The position of chief copyreader was held by Betty-Fay Barnes assisted by Joyce Pluckhahn, who interviewed the secretaries of the various clubs and wrote about their meetings and activities; Gwen Wade, Barbara Horton, and Helen Wichmann, who wielded paste brushes on the backs of the senior pictures; and David Frevert whose job it was to report the military maneuvers of Davenport High School’s army. Bill Bieg, head photographer for two years, took dozens of pictures for the book, and Betty Shaw saw to it that the names under each photograph matched the faces. For the second year money-maker David Duncan was the Blackhawk yearbook’s business manager, making trips to Davenport merchants for their support through ads. His assistants on the advertising staff were Joan Kleeburg and Curtis Bush. Secretary Mary Elizabeth Slaton took care of all correspondence and bookkeeping concerning the annual. This 1939 edition of the Blackhawk is featured by the introduction of informal pictures of the teachers and more action shots, plus home room pictures of the entire student body. Staff representatives of both the annual and newspaper attended the National Scholastic Press Association conven- tion in Indianapolis, Indiana. Above: Stuff of the annual. Kathryn Klru.

LOCAL NEWSHAWKS A trip around the campus would be in- complete without a visit to the Blackhawk room and journalism department. Miss Enid Burns, who teaches literature in addition to her .journalism classes, is the faculty adviser of the paper which is printed every other Thursday under the supervision of Mr. Celas G. Holbrook by the boys in the printing department, after being commercially lino- typed. The Blackhawk was founded October f , 1917, and its staff is made up entirely of students. In the fall Don Gould’s name was first on the mast head as editor-in-chief, and Joe Sitrick’s followed as assistant editor. With Jean Herman as assistant at- tending to clubs, Ann Lawton edited the third page. Bill Asbury, who was president of the Iowa High School Press Association and presided at the annual convention at Ames, held sway over the sports page. His assistant, Forrest Kilmer, wrote D. H. S. sports for the Democrat. Editing the fea- ture page and gossip column were Jane Strong and Howard Johnson. Floyd Allchin covered home rooms. Advertising manager Evelyn J. Goettsch and her solicitor Carol Kirk kept secretary Mary Elizabeth Slaton busy, Wallace Mai- sack took care of the exchange list of fifty schools, and Phyllis Conery supervised cir- culation. For the spring semester Clyde Patton took over the editorship, with Mary Lou Bowers as his assistant, Walter Sieb, who wrote high school sports for The Times, serving as sports editor, and with Jean Lay and Lorraine Mogren sharing honors as feature editors. Ruth Schultz was chief copyreader, Dorothy Lee Wilson write home room news, and Lois E. Meyer saw to it that club meetings were reported. Maynard Waxenberg “Took Up Space” and Bill Bieg snapped pictures for each issue throughout the year. Filling the positions of secretary and circulation manager respectively were Mary Elizabeth Slaton and Ardella Ben- shoof, while solicitor Joan Kleeburg helped advertising manager John Kerns. Jenny Howard was exchange editor. The Blackhawk newspaper received a superior award in the International Honor Rating of Quill and Scroll, and two first and one second prizes in the Drake Creative Awards. Jeanne Crump, former feature editor and Kenneth Warren, former editor- in-chief won first in the feature column, while Tom Kelly was awarded second place for his sports column of last year.

Dear Fellow Students: j ‘ Typewriters, adding machines, and calibrators galore (114 machines to be exact), are at the next stop on our travels, the commercial department. On the second floor Miss Adelaide Balluff, Miss Lois Hillemeyer, Miss Della May Taylor, and Miss Alta Warner teach six hundred potential secre- taries shorthand and typewriting, and almost as many learn bookkeeping from Mr. William Baker, Mr. Clem Bridge, Mr. Wallace Evans, and Mr. Moon on the floor above. Versatile Mr. Baker also has classes in sec- retarial bookkeeping, in which training for posi- tions as secretaries to professional men such as doctors and lawyers is given, accounting, and office machine training. In this course boys and girls learn to operate dictaphones. Burroughs and Monroe adding, list- ing, posting, bookkeep- ing, and calculating machines, and the Sund- strand accounting ma- chine and adding type- writer. Super salesman Mr. Moon teaches sales- manship. Another of Mr. Evans' subjects is com- mercial law, and Mr. Bridge teaches that and commercial geography in addition to his other classes. Around the hall on the other side of the third floor are the rooms where natural science is taught. Many stuffed and living animals and birds are in Miss Minnie Rae Johns’ biology and zoology room, while Mr. Harvey Voris, also a biology instructor, grows a variety of plants. Mr. John Hitchings shows stu- dents what makes them “go ’round,” and in his physiology classroom is a model of a human body, the parts of which may be detached for study. He and Mr. Woodroffe also teach biology, and Mr. Money and Mr. W. S. Rosing have classes in physiography and agriculture. Making his way through test tubes and climbing over experimental apparatus, the little guide shows us the physical science department. Mr. Harold N. Money helps the students to “blow things up” in the chemistry lab, and Mr. Milton Brenneman and Mr. Hugh B. Woodroffe teach the wonders of physics. Besides the usual year courses in these subjects, seniors may select semester courses in descriptive physics or chemistry, from which a good general knowledge of the studies is obtained.

At the head of the band in a black and gold uniform steps the drum major and baton wielder, Charles Elmergreen. A full Band of eighty-five members played for basketball games, entertained at auditorium and radio programs, gave a successful joint concert with the Orchestra in January, and appeared at the Capitol theatre in April. On April 28 and 29 both the Band and Orches- tra attended the Waterloo Music Festival which replaced contests this year, and the Band had the honor of being considered “super superior” by festival critic Frank Simon, director of the Armco band which broadcasts from Cincinnati. Just before Christmas both groups presented a program together, and Bill Henigbaum was soloist at a concert at the gym, playing Beethoven’s “Romance in F.” Along with many of these appearances were the three trumpeters, Stanley Schmidt, Dorothy Milversted, and Curtis Bush. Not to be outdone by the Band, the fifty-five members of the Concert Orchestra appeared on two radio programs, played for mid-year graduation, assisted in a children’s program given at the high school and sponsored by the city recreation department, and received high com- mendation at the festival. Money making projects to send these two organizations on their trips included a year round coat hanger drive, a Christmas dance, the theatre performance, and several card par- ties sponsored by the Parents’ Club. Along with these was the annual Variety Show which yearly discovers student talent through the skits and acts presented by clubs. Both Band and Orchestra are directed by Mr. F. E. Mortiboy. He is assisted in Band work by Mr. Tom Collins, who also instructs Band and wood-wind instrument work in the interme- diate schools, and by Mr. B. G. Schaefer who helps with Orchestra work at high school and teaches Orchestras, string, and percussion instruments in the intermediates. Winners of the local contest in solos and ensembles were allowed to compete at West Branch in sub-dis- trict and. then at district contests in Mr. Tom Collin� and Mr. Ii. G. Schaefer, instrumental music in- structors. and Mr. K. K. Mortiboy. director of band and orchestra in the Davenport schools. 60 Mt. Pleasant. Thirteen events survived these preliminary eliminations to be representa- tives at Iowa City in the state competition the first week in May. The solos that attained a superior rating at Iowa City, making the winners eligible for national competition at Minneapolis the third week in May, were Ivah Jean Crece- lius on the saxophone, Doro- thy Milversted on the cornet, and Herbert Grove on the oboe. Three brass, two string, and three reed ensembles were placed in the division one rat- ing. A saxophone quartet was composed of Ivah Jean Crece- lius, Charles Elmergreen, Wil- liam Wood, and Marian Fell- ner, and the winning brass quartet included James Bruns, Hoe Johnston, Dorothy Milver- sted, and Stanley Schmidt.

CftieoAe Pcu+it For the third successive time in the an- nals of D. H.S. history, the January grad- uating class presented a play. “Crab Apple,” the story of a fussy father who finally real- izes that young people must have their fun, was the 12A’s choice. Mr. Hunter, the father, was played by Paul Downing, and Roxana Campbell was his wife, while Lois Bashaw as their eldest daughter and Charles Baker in the part of Dr. John provided the love interest. Myra Baustian, or Paddy, was married to Bob Quigg, the Hunter’s oldest son, and through her happy good nature and quick tongue reforms her father- in-law into an agreeable person. The young- est Hunter, more commonly known as Ralph Lagoni, added humorous situations to this comedy written by Theodore Packard. Under the direction of Miss Mae Elma Wicks, “Crab Apple” was presented on January 27, to a capacity audience in the auditorium, which, incidentally, seats 1,115 persons. Every year all expression students and Dramatic Club members have a chance to try out for the annual three-act play, given in this instance on April 27. Mr. Don Torn- quist directed Eva Boughan as Patricia and Warren Burmeister as Tony Anderson in the leading roles in “The Patsy,” an amus- ing comedy about the trials of an average family. In the parts of Billy and Grace, Howard Rathman and Donna Geertz were lovers, and Jack Adams and Rose Marie Conkity were cast as Mr. and Mrs. Harrington. John Kerns as Mr. Francis Patrick O’Flaherty, Lois Hein as Sadie Buchanan, and Ross Chrysler as Trip Busty completed the cast. Barry Conners was the author. “Adam and Eva,” by Guy Bolton and George Middleton, ended Davenport High’s dramatic season. The three act comedy dealing with the reformation of a wealthy family from a love of silly pleasures to useful living, was given as the June senior class play on May 25. Under the guiding hand of Miss Elizabeth Andersch the play was cast and directed. In the title roles of Adam and Eva were Keith Kin- ner and Sally Zocckler, and Dorothy Lee Wilson and Dick Goenne played opposite each other as Julie and Clinton. Lord Andrew was taken by Jim Hiner, and David Wilder took the part of the family physician, Dr. Delameter. In the parts of Mr. King and Uncle Horace, John Kerns and Tom Byrnes supplied com- edy. Rose Margaret Spore and Ruth Miller were Aunt Abby and Corinthia, respectively. v-' ' ! Braving wintry winds or summer sunbeams as the case may be, the lit- tle guide leaves “Old Main” for the Industrial Arts building where 650 boys learn some of the school's most practical subjects. The smell of printer’s ink comes from the shop where Mr. Forrest Sis- sel and Mr. Celas G. Holbrook teach the boys the typesetting and press operation which enable them to print the school newspaper, the biweekly Blackhawk, do job work, and prepare for a life trade in printing, while in the foundry Mr. Charles Gesell dem- onstrates the art of pouring metal. He teaches woodturning and pattern- making, too. Mr. William Wood, industrial arts supervisor, who teaches forge, is di- rector of employed minors, and among the fifteen lathes and other machines in the machine shop, Mr. Elliott Swen- son instructs the mechanically minded. He also teaches fifty factory appren- tices and works under the State De- partment of Vocational Education in teaching evening extension courses. Mr. Swenson, Mr. Gesell, and Mr. Wood are in charge of some classes in mechanical drawing. Plans for en- gines and buildings are also made in Mr. Leslie Goss’ mechanical drawing classes. Mr. Goss is also athletic man- ager, and this year was appointed head of extra curricular activities. He is also in charge of the extensive pub- lic schools radio program.

Entering the main hall of the Home Economics building, with its fireplace, chairs, and soft lights, is like going into a beautiful home. The fifty-four year old building was formerly Kemper Hall, part of Davenport's first college. The office of Miss Inez Whitney, home eco- nomics supervisor of all public schools, the laundry, a large sewing room, and the home management and consumer education class rooms are on the first floor, while another clothing laboratory and the equipment used by 10A clothing classes for testing fabrics are in the base- ment. In addition to two well-equipped food laboratories, a dining room, bed- room, and bath on the second floor com- plete the “house” which the girls learn to care for. Miss Florence Soller specializes in clothing instruction and Miss Ida Haller in food work, while Miss Cora Wilson teaches 10A textile study. Dietetics, home management, and household sewing are Miss Mae Nantz’s subjects, and Miss Whitney has classes in sociology and home management besides her duties as supervisor. There are five hundred girls, nearly half of those in D. H. S., enrolled in home economics courses, all of which are en- tirely elective.

Day and his assistants, Coaches Clem Bridge and Paul Turner, girding the Davenport High School football aspirants for a busy fall campaign. Time flies quickly in these autumn months. The open- ing of the schedule comes and goes; September passes, the season moves on into October, reaches an early climax in the homecoming clash, and then heads into the final lap in November, hitting its peak on Thanks- giving day in the concluding game of the year. This is all a matter of history now, and the 1938 foot- ball season has gone down on the Davenport high school record books as a campaign of success in all respects. Season’s record, attendance, and other factors were outstanding. A ten game schedule, one of the most difficult in recent years, showed six victories, only one defeat, and three ties. These latter mishaps were for- gotten. however, in reminiscing. They were overshad- owed by two superb triumphs, which the gridmen achieved over favored foes, Mooseheart, appearing here for the first time in history, and Moline, powerful rival from the Illinois side of the Mississippi. Leaping from an underdog role in each case the Day- men smashed the favored invaders before record break- ing crowds. Mooseheart fell, 21-7, when the Daven- porters struck with cyclonic fury in the second half to sweep to a thorough and convincing two-touchdown margin of triumph, after wiping out a seven point lead, which the Red Ramblers amassed in the first quarter. Strewing the dope again in the Thanksgiving classic, the Red and Blue eleven, playing brilliantly through- out, spurned the touchdown advances of Moline and then climaxed its performance by marching 50 yards in the fourth quarter to count the touchdown that meant victory. When Mooseheart, the school maintained by the Loyal Order of Moose at Mooseheart, Illinois, ten miles out- side of Chicago, came to town for the homecoming tus- sle. 7,000 spectators turned out on an ideal October night, and when Moline performed here on the clear, wintry afternoon of Thanksgiving Day an estimated throng of almost 8,500 fans jammed the Brady Street gridiron, the seating capacity of which had been in- creased by the erection of extra bleachers. All in all, an estimated 33,000 watched the high school footballers in action in the six home games last fall, five of which were played at night under the flood- lights, which were installed in 1937. By virtue of the stirring 7-0 victory over Moline in the finale, the gridders carried the Quad-City champion- ship back to the Iowa side of the Mississippi River for the first time since 1934, thus ending Moline’s reign of supremacy in Quad-City football circles. Although nosed out in the race for the Mississippi Valley conference flag by a 14-6 defeat at Iowa City, their lone of the season, the Daymen added the city championship to their list of accomplishments for the second consecutive year since its renewal with a 22-0 trouncing of St. Ambrose Academy. In the Mississippi Valley the gridders finished high in the final standings with two victories, one defeat, and a tie. Wins were achieved at the expense of Dubu- que and West Waterloo, but Clinton pulled a surprise party on the locals at the upriver city, Davenport com- ing from behind to gain a 6-6 tie. Davenport was unbeaten in Quad-City competition, but East Moline’s fighting Orange, always one of the toughest foes on the Red and Blue card, battled with neither team able to score in a crackling duel. Both teams entered the tilt unbeaten and both came out of the struggle with only the untied phase of their perfect escutcheons marred by the scoreless deadlock. Each team had brilliant scoring opportunities, but in every case alert defensive play prevented the threats from materializing. Against Rock Island in their other Quad-City strug- gle the Blue Devils flashed some of their best form of the season to smother the Crimson by a 26-0 count at the Islanders stadium. It was an easy victory with the proteges of Coach Jesse Day galloping to four touch- downs, while limiting the Rock Island eleven to a lone threat, which was stopped short of the goal. Injuries, the bug-bear of every football camp, struck the Davennort team in no uncertain terms but reserves rose to the occasion. The injury jinx made its first ap- pearance on the Red and Blue premises midway in October when Harry Lancaster went out of the line-up with a knee injury never to return to the fold. Johnny Welchman, stellar end, followed Lancaster to the sidelines when he twisted his knee in the Clinton game as he attempted to cut back in the open field after receiving a forward pass. Welchman was lost for the remainder of the season, including the East Des Moines, Iowa City, and Moline tilts. Further handicapDing the Blue Devils was the fact that almost every other member of the starting line-up was out of action for a day or two with minor injuries. Davenport also lost Chris Swanson, powerful guard, via ineligibility due to the age limit for the last two games of the season. When Davenport invaded Iowa City for the Missis- sippi Valley conference title game, the Daymen were weakened by injuries and after taking a 6-0 lead with a touchdown in the opening minutes, they saw this advantage melt away in the second half when the Little Hawks unleashed a power display which pulverized the Red and Blue defense for two touchdowns and the coveted 14-6 victory. This game was originally scheduled for November 4 but it was two weeks later before the two teams were able to get together after heavy rains and snow twice forced the postponement of the fracas . . . this was the most unusual feature of the 1938 schedule. In the other non-conference encounter played on the home gridiron the pigskin-toters fought East High School of Des Moines to a 13-13 deadlock in a tilt that was one of the most thrilling of the season. Ixmg runs and sustained marches were the features of the offen- sive battle, with a Des Moines halfback racing 63 yards through a broken field to knot the final count. Leading the Blue Devils through this successful sea- son, blond Bob Bender, who captained the locals, was the all-round, outstanding star. His powerful runs, able passes, and great punts from his left halfback position featured the offense, and in addition to his triple threat offensive ability Bender’s defensive work was also es- pecially noteworthy. A regular first string halfback for three straight years, Bob leaves behind a record that will long live in the minds of Davenport gridiron enthusiasts. He was honored on the all-state team for the second straight year. On the I. D. P. A. he received honorable mention and on Jack North’s ratings he was picked on the second team. Aiding Bender in the backfield were Ronnie Baker, fullback. Tony Wulf, quarterback, and Everett Boett- cher and Dick Goenne, who alternated at the right half- back position. Ralph Pilgrim, dynamic guard, was one of the out- standing members of the forward wall. Other stalwarts in the line at the end of the season were Warren Porter and Tot Kennefick, ends; Johnny Staak, next year’s captain-elect, and George Kloppenburg, tackles; Char- ley Baker, guard, and Wayne Williams, center.

The trek is from the Brady Street field to the George Mar- shall gymnasium where Coach Paul Moon and the Davenport High School basketeers hold forth. Winners of the Mississippi Valley conference championship, undisputed kings of the Quad-City Thynno and Spcnccr at contor jump 74 league, city titlists, invulnerable in ten consecutive home games, the 1938-39 cagers brought prestige to Davenport. The lone dismal episode of the season was the failure of the Blue Devils in the state tour- nament when they were ousted from the annual prep title chase in the sectional tournament. It was a new sensation for Paul Moon as he watched his team go down in defeat before Clinton’s powerful River Kings, 23-16, when the Blues made only three field goals in the final round of the sec- tional meet at Clinton, for it was the first time in his eleven years at the helm here that a Red and Blue quint failed to survive the opening tourney. Captained by lanky Dave Spencer, the quintet was paced offensively by blond Dick Jensen, who was by far the leading scorer. It could almost be said “As Jensen went, so went Davenport!” Other members of the line-up, which was altered at vari- ous times, were Milton Montgomery, Dick Gadifl Bill Long, Jack Schlueter, Tot Kennefick, and Jim Gadient. At mid-year the team was weaj££B D the loss of Bob Bender and Dick Loren T Take a look at some of the scores. They speak for themselves. A one-point, 28-27, victory over Mo- line; a 28-23 win over Dubuque; a brilliant 31-28 triumph over Sac City in a battle which Tfeany ob- servers considered easily the standout gam HBBl season; a spectacular 33 to 31 overtime triumph Rock Island; and in conclusion a 41-35 victory over Clinton in a sparkling scoring duel. Behind each triumph lies a story that indicates the tenseness of the frays. The one-point victory over Moline, which was the key verdict toward gain- ing the Quad-City crown, was so closely contested that one second meant the difference between victory and defeat. As the clock ticked off its final second with Daven- port holding a 28-27 lead, the desperate Moline cag- ers made a last lightning-like stab for victory, Fred Staack, Maroon center, uncorking a pivot shot that went true to its mark simultaneous with reverbera- tion of the final gun. but unleashed a fraction of a second too late, officials ruled, to give the Moliners a 29-28 decision. To defeat Dubuque’s rampaging Rams who blew into town with an eight-game winning streak, the Red and Blue hoopsters were pressed to the limit. After leading 22-10 early in the third stanza, the Moonmen saw this advantage melt in the face of a Dubuque spurt which closed the score to 25-21 with V� r i« - Coach Paul Moon and Sophomore Coach C. E. Bridge four minutes left in the game. However, the Blues refused to yield and spurned the Dubuque victory bid for a 28-23 decision. Sac City came to Davenport in mid-February boasting of an unbeaten slate of 15 straight victo- ries. but when the Indians left the city they were holding a broken record. The Moonmen had shat- tered their winning streak with a 31-28 victory gained on a spurt in the final two minutes. It was the first regular scheduled game which Sac City had lost in two years. Coming as a bolt out of a clear sky, the Rock Island game was an, electrifying struggle, as the Crimson invaders from the Illinois side of the Mis- sissippi. surprising even their most optimistic back- pit for point with the Moonmen, who favorite in the pre-game prognosti- batt cations. With the score deadlocked at 31-all at the end of the regulation playing time, the game, which fea- tured some' of the wildest action ever seen on the local floor, went into a sudden death overtime. For one minute and ten seconds th.' teams battled for those coveted points when Tot K nnefick, dark-haired Davenport guard, grabbed the rebound of a missed shot and hoisted the ball through the hoop for the winning basket. V A-- To close the regular season Coach Raul Moon’s cagers put on a fourth quarter scoring rush that swept Clinton off its feet for a 41-35 verdict. Clinton in front all the way, went into the fourth quarter holding a 31-27 lead but the Blues poured on the heat in the final to score 1 1 points while holding the River Kings to four. This enabled the Moonmen to annex the Mississippi Valley title for the second con- secutive yeaV and the seventh time in the last eleven years. ' The Blue Devils had their ups and downs during the season and at times were inconsistent, their offense faltering measurably in the three of the five defeats. In these flosses the Davenport scoring dropped below 20 points each time, while in five other games against strong teams, to show the con- trast, Davenport came through with more than 40 markers r Moline, Iowa City, Clinton, Muscatine, and Sac City were the teams defeating the Blue Devils, but each of these setbacks was evened. The defeat by Moline on New Vear’s Eve, 34-30, was the lone loss in Quad-City competition. Davenport owes Vast Moline a vote of thanks, for it was Coach Ray Holmes’ Orange cagers, who act- ually deposited the Quad-City title in the laps of the Moonmen bv propping Moline when a Maroon vic- tory would have given the Moliners a tie with Dav- enport in the final standings. Iowa City surprised the locals with a 20-17 set- back, the lqpe one in Mississippi Valley play, but the LitUe Hawk victory could hr truthfully discounted somewhat due to the fact that the Moonmen were tired from the previous night’s hectic struggle with Moline. Davenport’s last Toss in the regular season came at Muscatine when Bobby Kinnan’s Muskies HWdltzed an eight year ambition by toppling the Blues, 24-17, limiting the losers to the meagre total of five baskets. 75 Front row: No. 32.

While the varsity gridders drill at one end of the spacious practice field, Coaches Bill Rosing and Har- old Money guide the destinies of the sophomore foot- ballers at the east section of the practice grounds. We trot across the field and pause to review the accomplishments of the yearling eleven. After a slow start, the sophomore gridders, gain- ing in experience game by game, hit a triumphant stride to score four successive wins before tasting defeat again in the season’s finale. Four victories, three defeats, and a tie constitutes the 1938 record. Two of the three losses, however, came in the first two games before the Imps snapped into winning form, and from there on in they were tough to beat. Starting with the handicap of being the first group of sophomores without intermediate football exper- ience, they picked up knowledge rapidly. Lyons, an- nually the strongest opponent on the card, and Rock Island slapped a pair of 7 to 0 setbacks to the Imps in the first two games, but East Moline, Moline, Rock Island and Clinton fell in that order before Moline's powerhouse gained decisive revenge in the closing game of the campaign. Flaying each of the Quad-City schools twice, the sophomores amassed three victories; took it on the chin twice; and were held to a tie by East Moline when overconfidence seeped in. This slate was good enough to earn the Blues a tie with Moline and Rock Island for the title. Highpoint of the season was the 18-12 upset of Moline at the local gridiron in October. Stan Kolberg was elected honorary captain at the conclusion of the season. Other mainstays were Al- bert Antoniotti. Junior Franck.

Undisputed champions of the Mississippi Valley conference for the eleventh consecutive year, co- holders of the Quad-City crown, and unbeaten in eight home games, the Red and Blue yearlings came through an 18-tilt schedule with colors flying. Fifteen victories and three defeats was the record for the 1938-39 season. In running off with the Mississippi Valley title, the Imps racked up eight consecutive triumphs and finished far ahead. Leading the sophomores was Kenny Popp, who captured the sophomore individual scoring champion- ship of the Mississippi Valley conference. Other standouts on the squad were Bill Johnson, Dick Kell- ing, Jack Rogers. Jack Spencer, only a ninth-grader, Bob Murray, Bill Rissmann, Jack Olds, and Jerry Seiffert. Popp, Kelling, and Spencer were named on the varsity tournament squad with Popp being drafted into the starting line-up for the sectional meet when Milton Montgomery was ill.

Wrestling, in its second year as a major sport at Davenport High School, continued on the upward trend during the 1938-39 season. Meeting the strongest teams in eastern Iowa, the grapplers lost only to Dubuque and Clinton in dual competition, although Fulton and Rock Island scored decisions over the Davenport “B” team. The regular squad later avenged these losses by convincing mar- gins. Hitting the season’s peak, the matmen built up a consecutive winning streak of six matches, a string which started in mid-January and which was broken the second week of Februarv. Victims were Stock- ton. Rock Island, Fulton, Clinton, Vinton, and East Waterloo. Easilv the standout contest of the home season, the performance of the locals against the powerful and favored Waterloo team was noteworthy. It was a distinct unset when the Blues came out on the long end of a 22-15 score. Two triumphs over the strong Vinton squad from the Iowa School for the Blind were another feature of the schedule. In the first Mississippi Valley conference wrestling meet in history at Cedar Rapids in December the Davenport grapplers finished in third place behind the league’s two powerhouses. East and West Water- loo. The Blues copped the annual Eastern Iowa quadrangular meet here from Dubuque, Rock Island, and Clinton. After the regular season, the mat artists entered the state tournament, competing first in the district meet from which first and second place winners advanced to the state finals at Fort Dodge the fol- lowing week. At Clinton in the district, the locals encountered Co-cnptainx Jerry CuttinK and Rob Alexander; last Kcaxon captain Kuncnc Warner difficulties, with only one entrant, Glenn Orcutt, sur- viving the final round after seven Blue Devils had swept into the semi-finals. In the finals standings Davenport ranked fifth. Orcutt, red-thatched 85-pounder, who was the out- standing grappler, pound for pound, won his first bout in the state finals but fell by the wayside in the semi-final round. In addition to the district title, Orcutt copped the Mississippi Valley crown. Other outstanding members of the 1938-39 team were Co-captains Bob Alexander, 135-pounder, and Jerry Cutting, 125-pounder, along with Eugene Warner, 115 pound veteran. Regulars in the other weight division were 95 pounds, Dick Nobis; 105 pounds, Rometo Macias and Bob Newell; 145 pounds, Jordan Murray and Bob McIntosh; 155 pounds, John Gebelein; 105 pounds, Ralph Pilgrim, who graduated at mid-year, and May- nard Waxenberg; and heavyweight, Don I’aget, Clarence Burnaugh, and Charles Breinich. 78 BASEBALL Co-Cnptninx Ernie Frlxtrd and Monty Montgomery. The latter pitched a no-hit game. To the athletic field once again we go. This time not to the stadium proper but across the way behind the buildings of the Battery B where the baseball team establishes its practice headquarters. It’s the third year of existence for the diamond sport, known as America’s national pastime, in the hearts of D. H. S. athletes. Born anew in the spring of 1936, baseball at the hilltoD institution has been a story of a steady upward trend. Gaining more popularity yearly, each new season brings an increase to Coach Merle “Midge” Makeever in the number of anxious aspirants. This season slightly over 1(M) hopeful candidates answered the mentor’s call, more than ample to build a powerful nine. A sophomore team was organized and went through its schedule with a successful record. Following in the footsteps of the 1938 team which upon entering the state tournament for the first time advanced to the Iowa title encounter before suffering its lone defeat, the 1939 squad started off Back row.

With cold and rainy weather proving an early obstacle and a good equalizer, it took the current team only four days to lose two more games than the 1938 team suffered during the entire season. After opening the schedule with a 9-4 victory over Bennett, the Blue Devils hit a snag and dropped three straight tilts to Wapello, 9-8, in a tussle which they would have won easily except for the rule of no player reentering a game; to Oxford Junction, 7-4, under adverse playing conditions; and to Ben- nett, 7-6, after blowing a five-run first inning lead. Then the Red and Blue diamond performers ex- ecuted an about-face, found the power which was early latent, and snapped into a winning streak which had reached six straight by May 1, press time of this publication. It took the Blues only three innings to annex the county championship as they buried Buffalo under a 44-6 avalanche. Calamus, St. Ambrose Academy, conquered by a 20-2 tally, Maquoketa, and Durant, defeated by a 32-2 score, were other victims. Milton Montgomery, 1938 all-stater, Dick Williams, Cliff McAdams, and Dick Leabo formed a quartet of experienced hurlers. Ernie Felsted at first. Tot Kennefick at second. Everett Boettcher at short, and Dick Jensen at third comprised an all-veteran infield. Bernie Swift, all-stater in 1938, Warren I'orter. Harry Lancaster, who dropped the sport midway in the season, and Clell Hatfield, sophomore comer, were the mainstays of the outfield. 79 TcnnU Team—Brins on the ten- nih tram in just a “raegurt ’ with I'aul Hee chrn.

QoH astet “In spring a young man’s fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love” reads an adage, but to make the saying applicable here it would read “In spring a young man’s fancy turns to thoughts of sports.” Spring, the busiest of the school sports seasons, now offers athletes at Davenport high school an opportunity to compete in four various sports with golf and tennis included in the extra-curricular field in addition to track and baseball. Golf and tennis players also see action in the fall, but the spring schedule which is longer, is regarded as the more important. Dual and triangular contests in addition to the Quad-City meets comprise the golf and tennis cards. These sports are handicapped slightly due to the fact that they possess no regular practice fields. The golf team plays its home matches on either the Davenport Country club course or the Credit Island links, while the netsters hold their local matches on the city’s public courts. Under the direction of Coach Russell Bickford the golf team enjoyed a successful season. During the fall campaign the club swingers had fair success, but the results during the spring schedule were more outstanding with three of the four fall regulars re- porting with added experience. Of the quartet which usually carried the Red and Blue banner in the autumn season only Wally San- ford, who became ineligible at mid-year, was miss- ing for the spring campaign. Jack Schlueter, Jack Fleck, and Tom Bates were the veteran holdovers. Schlueter and Fleck were the pacesetters but they received valuable support from LeRoy Noack, who scored his share of points. Others who saw action when Coach Bickford used larger teams were George Ramsey, John Murphy, and Bob Hayes. The cold and rainy weather of early spring held the golfers back but the mashie wielders got the season underway the latter part of April. They opened the spring schedule auspicuously with a 13-9 triumph over Rock Island and continued their win- ning ways by defeating Rock Island, 15-9, and Ke- wanee, 8-3, in a triangular contest in the second match. Tennis continued on the upgrade during the 1938- 39 school year. With Coach J. M. Hitchings in charge, the netsters brought prestige to D. H. S. by winning the majority of their matches in competition mostly with the Quad-City schools. The Davenport mentor had to rebuild his team at the start of the fall sea- son, but with most of the regular players back in the spring Davenport boasted a strong team. Bert Lee, small but mighty junior, headed the racket-swingers. Ranking behind him were Bill Johnson, Don McDonald, Bob McIntosh, Stan Schmidt, DuWayne Beckmann. Bob Kem, Tom Nobis, I’aul Heeschen, and James Terry. Inclement weather also handicapped the net team. Rain and cold temperature early in the season forced the rearranging of the first weeks of the regular schedule after several postponements. The team finally started the season on April 25, but ran into trouble in the form of a strong Rock Island squad and absorbed a 7-2 defeat at the Crimson courts in singles matches. 80 Top: Harold Redshaw. 0 Middle: Howard Rathman. 0 Bottom: John Welchman and Jim Zabel, co-cap- tains.

Day, assisted by W. S. Rosing and Paul Turner, moved outdoors to more spacious quarters at the athletic field on North Brady Street. Headed by Co-Captains Jim Zabel, quartermiler and relay speedster, and Johnny Welchman, ace shotputter, the Davenport team was off to a slow start but crowned the indoor season by ascending to the state interscholastic track throne for the first time in history. Many times Coach Jesse Day’s proteges had come close to copoing the cherished title, but never before had they been able to attain it. Making the triumph even more sparkling was the manner in which the Blue Devils achieved it. Amassing a total of 42 6-7 points, one of the highest totals made in the state indoor contest in recent years, the locals finished almost 14 points ahead of their nearest competitor. Fort Madison’s Little Six champions, who garnered 29 1-2 markers. Davenport’s powerful showing surprised critics who rated the Blues little more than an outside chance of taking the state title after finishing third in the Mississippi Valley conference indoor meet on the University of Iowa fieldhouse oval the pre- vious week-end. Other stars in addition to Zabel and Welchman were Bill Garrett, dusky junior speedster, wlio won the state indoor title in the 50 yard dash and ran on the relay teams, and Ronnie Baker, 440 yard dash man and another relay veteran. Harold Redshaw, high hurdler, Bill Scharnberg, shot putter, Sam John- son, quartermiler, and Dick Kling, sprinter, were other consistent point-getters. Six Red and Blue runners represented Davenport in the prep division of the thirtieth annual Drake relays at Des Moines on April 29. Bill Garrett, Jim Zabel, Dick Kling, Ronnie Baker, Sam Johnston, and Johnny Welchman raced on the Davenport relay teams which captured third in the 440 yard and 880 yard relays, and fifth in the mile baton contest. After copping two firsts and a second in 1988, the Davenport stars, in the face of faster competition, were shoved into the background although their performance on a time basis was almost as good as last year.

PHYSICAL Again we find ourselves in the gymnasium, this time to become acquainted with the boys’ physical education department which is under the direction of Mr. 0. E. Johnson. Comprising a total of 5(H) boys, this group ranks as one of the largest in the school. Its classes meet twice weekly. Gymnastic work consists of apparatus drill and sports participation. Among the sports included during the year according to the season are handball, volleyball, basketball, baseball, and track. In order to test the progress of the boys Mr. Johnson holds examinations of various kinds at regular intervals. Among these physical exams is a track test of Mr. Johnson’s own invention which Track Coach Jesse Day employs as an ac- curate prediction on the cinder ability of the boys. Other activities of the boys’ physical education department include participation in the annual Gym Circus in the spring and the annual Gym Fest in the fall. One of the highlights of the Circus was a group of Indian dances presented by James Hiner, Arnold Feiler, Dick Rossmiller, and Art Wellendorf. Intramural sports form another phase of the gym schedule. Competition is held in basketball, volley ball, and handball. Interclass tournaments take place in handball and basketball. Arthur “Buck” Miller reigns as the handball champion. The morning intramural basketball league team captained by Dick Williams annexed the cham- pionship.

EDUCATION For those interested in wrestling, ample opportunity is offered to gain experience in the grappling art through a class which meets every morning before school under the direction of Mr. Johnson, who reports that much of the talent for the D. H. S. wrestling team is active in this class. Another division of the physical education program is the Gym Club, an organization, composed of both boys and girls, which meets two mornings each week for the purpose of practicing apparatus work. Gym classes meet twice a week under the supervision of Miss Deone Gibson. There are approximately ten squads offering instruction in basketball, ping-pong, badminton, roller skating, tumbling, ballroom dancing, and shufflle board. In the spring golf, tennis, and baseball are enjoyed outside. An interclass track meet was held this year in May at the athletic field. With the money obtained from the Gym Fest of November 10, about sixty books were purchased' for the new sports library, a new radio attachment, and some mat covers. Girls on the committee for the successful Gym Circus of March 31 were Mary McClelland, Betty Wellendorf, Scharlott Junge, and Dorothy Milversted. This circus is given in conjunction with the boys’ gym classes under the direction of Mr. O. E. Johnson. Co-ed parties on Friday nights, with dancing in the gym lobby, and competitive sports in the gym, fencing lessons after school, interclass and home room basketball tourna- ments, the girls’ basketball and tennis squads, and health and posture instruction all went to make up a well-rounded gym program. Six representatives from each neighboring town in the southeastern part of the state were present at the G. A. A. spring play day, the theme of which was “A Preview of Sum- mer SDorts.” Top, winning intramural basketball team composed of Leslie Bates, Dick Williams. Warren Porter. Victor Kodenburg.

C. quarters beneath the gymnasium, and begins a tour of inspection of the indoor drill field, the armory, supply room, office, and rifle range of the high school army. Led by Major Polk J. Atkinson and Master Sergeant David II. Bar- low, cadets completed an exciting year striving to improve them- selves in drilling and theoretical subjects for the annual Federal In- spection held at Vander Veer Park on May 10, 1939. Since the unit was rated tops in the two preced- ing years, each cadet now has a red star on the right sleeve of his blouse, announcing to all the world that he has helped capture a hard- earned honor rating. After arriving in Davenport in the fall, Captain Atkinson was awarded the rank of major on October 1, 1938. Sergeant Barlow, formerly having held the grade of staff sergeant, was promoted to master sergeant on June 1, 1938. It was the aim of military in- structors to promote cadets on a competitive basis with neatness and efficiency as standards. With these ideals in mind, Richard Goen- ne became cadet colonel on the opening day of the fall semester. Assisting him in his duties were Cadet Lieutenant Colonels David Duncan, in command of the First Battalion, Walter Sieb leading the Second Battalion, and David Fre- vert, regimental executive officer. From time to time surprise in- spections were held and cadets were graded by their officers on posture and neatness of clothing and equipment. High ranking cadets were awarded blue four- rageres, or citation cords, to be worn on the left shoulder of their blouses, and the best cadet in the regiment received a fourragere of red, white, and blue.

Second con- secutive merit of the red, white, and blue award entitled a cadet to the privilege of wearing the gold citation cord, the highest possible honor for personal appearance in military dress. Cadet Staff Ser- geant Otto Schroeder received the red, white, and blue cord in the second semester competion, and Cadet Corporal Lloyd Wayland was the winner of the gold fourragere. Among the brilliant social af- fairs of the school year was the annual R. O. T. C. Military Ball, held at the Coliseum on December 2, 1938. For the rank of colonel, Miss Lu- cille Hobart was selected. Second and third in the election, Miss Sally Zoeckler and Miss Lois Geisler, were commissioned as lieutenant colonels. These officers were award- ed bracelets and led the grand march, escorted by Colonel Goenne and Lieutenant Colonels Duncan and Sieb respectively. With the opening of the spring semester, and an all time high en- rollment of 521 cadets, came an- nouncement of Warren Booth’s pro- motion to the rank of commanding cadet colonel. Leading the First Battalion was Cadet Lieutenant Colonel Donald McDonald. Cadet Lieutenant Colonel Robert Peirce took command of the Second Bat- talion. The position of regimental executive officer was awarded Cadet Lieutenant Colonel Thomas Nobis. Marching to the music of the high school band, the regiment held parades at Vander Veer Park. Climaxing an eventful year came the Competitive Drill held in the park in May. Here the outstanding company, platoon, squad, and in- dividual cadets were selected and received awards for their accom- plishments. Appreciation is expressed to Major and Mrs. Forrest C. Shaffer who presented an R. 0. T. C. award each year to the outstanding mem- ber of the class of 1939, in memory of their son, Forrest, Jr. John Lamp received the honor in 1937, Curtis Bush was the recipient in 1938.

Lucille Hobart and Dorothy Milversted presided over the group this year. Dorothy was vice president in the fall and in the spring Betty Wellendorf took over. The two girls who had the double duties of secretary and treasurer were Arlene Dau and Anna Marie Nicholson. Miss Deone Gib- son is the club’s faculty adviser. At its meetings, appropriately enough, the club members play games such as ping-pong, volley ball, badminton, basketball, and hock- ey. During the winter the organization spon- sored a home room basketball league. That D. H. S. is basketball-minded is proved, as sixteen home rooms entered teams. The members of the winning team were awarded individual medals by G. A. A. Some more of the club’s activities were its combined entry in the Variety Show with the Art and Puppet Club, which won second place in its division, and the floats entered in the homecoming parade by the club itself and by its little sister, the Pep Club. These floats copped two prizes—first for G. A. A., and fourth for the Pepsters. The complete story would not be told with- out mentioning the awards given by G. A. A. during the year for athletic achievement. There are three classes of awards, the first is a letter given for five hundred points earned. This year Lillian Baele, Ruth Bell, Gloria Davies, Lois Gerdes, NaDean Keeffer, Mary Louise McDonald, and Sis Wilkinson received a one-stripe letter. The second award, a pin, is given for one thousand points. Lillian Baele and Lucille Ilobart were the only two lucky ones to get this recognition. Dorothy Milversted was the lone girl to re- ceive a three stripe “D” for piling up seven- teen hundred and fifty points. 94 I cJlaJda uAted astol ? The Spanish Club is perhaps the baby (in point of age) of all D. II. S. clubs for it was organized only a year ago and is already progressing rapidly. To start the year off right, an election of officers was held at the first meeting. Hill Puls was unanimously elected el presidents, Betty Klop- penberg was named vice president, Hetty McGinley was given the double job of keeping the club’s money straight as well as recording the activities of the group. Madelyn ScharfT and Roy Fisher made up the committee re- sponsible for programs and entertainment. At the beginning of the spring semester this year the club members and their faculty adviser, Miss Virginia Mapes, decided that the club should be officially named. After due deliberation and discussion, the name “I OS Espanoles Aficionados” was chosen. This is the Spanish way of saying that the members are as yet only amateurs in speaking Spanish. More necessities for proper club functioning, namely colors and mascot, were selected. The official colors of the club are, quite appropriately, those of the flag of Spain—red and yellow. Their trusty mascot is none other than that celebrated horticulturist—Ferdinand the Hull! In the fall five members of the club presented an adaptation of the fairy story, “Goldilocks and the Three Hears.” Hill Puls was Goldilocks, Hetty Incze was the Hig Hear, Jimmy Coolon was the Middle-sized Hear, and Joyce Pluckhahn was the Little Hear. The story was read (in Spanish) by Virginia Hansen. Another, a more serious type of program, featured Mexico. Miss Mapes talked informally on her vacation there last summer and showed snapshots of Mexico City and other Mexican spots. In the spring a young man from Mexico, Martin Diaz Garay, who is studying at St. Ambrose, spoke on the history of Mexico and its people. First row. left to right. Adelaide Arndt. Jean Beckwith.

As Caesar said . . . Glut- Comitium Romanum, as the organization of Latin students in I). H. S. is officially known, is consistent throughout; even the officers are known by their Latin names. First consules were Patricia White and David McFerren; second consules were Beverly Brownlie and Jane Shipton; scribae (those who write, or more simply, secretaries) were Glenna Forbes and Barbara Horton. Adelaide Arndt was quaestor all year, that is, she was treasurer. 'Diis year’s aedile was Joyce Pluck- hahn. Miss Flossie Bates and Miss Minnie Eskelson are the club’s counselors. During the year there were many inter- esting programs. In September, Joe I ee, Betty Bielenberg, Jane Shipton, Ralph Smith, Susanne Bush, and David McFerren present- ed a highly dramatic play, “And the Light Went Out,” in which there was but one speak- ing part—that of the narrator. In October Miss Elizabeth Andersch told the club about her North European tour last summer and exhibited beautiful examples of the silver- smith’s art and some pictures of typical Scandinavian towns. November brought two more brief plays, “The Schoolboy’s Dream,” with John Wolff and Dwayne Wiggins and “A Dialogue from Lucian,” with Jean Han- sen and Anna Louise Johnson. At many of the meetings the club sang familiar songs in Latin and at the Christmas meeting the carols were sung in that lauguage. Beverly Lieberstein, the club’s entrant in the annual Variety Show, won first place in the B division with her amusing declamation. The organization entered a float in the home- coming parade and chose Patricia White as the club's candidate for Homecoming Queen. Two of the club’s constructive deeds of the year were the purchase of two much needed Latin dictionaries, one placed in each of the teachers’ rooms, and the presentation to the girls’ and boys’ advisers of five dollars for needy students. 96 Quill Poets, playwrights, writers of short stories, song writers, and other amateur exponents of the finer arts foregather once a month to view and criticize the work of their fellow club members. Bill Asbury presided over these aspiring writers in the fall and Mary Loring carried on in his footsteps this spring. She was “pro- moted” for she had been vice president the first semester. Mary's first assistant vice president was Floyd Allchin. Carrie McCoy and Donna Geertz recorded the meetings and Catherine Harmeier and Elden Rudbeck held the club’s money. Miss Mabel Johnstone guided the club’s destinies. At the first meeting of the year Mr. Don Tornquist told the assembled neophytes how plays are prepared for radio broadcasting. In October the constitution was read and accepted and at the same meeting Germaine Potter amused and entertained the club with a humorous declamation. High points of other meetings was original work by rising Club poets and poetesses of the school. Stories, essays, of a scientific nature occasionally, skits, and themes were presented during the course of the year’s meetings. A dance by a fully accoutred Indian enlivened one gather- ing and at another the members were fortu- nate enough to hear Louis Feeney introduce his song “Sleepy Dreamy Time” with the com- poser singing the lyric, and Donna Geertz at the piano. At a spring meeting Mr. E. E. Buchner of the Daily Times addressed the club on “The Associated Press.” Some activities separate and apart from the regular meetings were the club’s float in the homecoming parade and the campaign carried on for Lois Wade, the club’s candi- date for Homecoming Queen. There was the Hallowe’en party at the Wonder Bakery that will be a long remem- bered occasion in Quill Club annals. The skit the club entered in the Variety Show, “We the Pupils,” won third prize in conjunction with two other clubs. WieldleSiA tlte P n rOH , unu. c lf HmmZ?

A'lt and Punnet Lovers of the fine arts gather up on third floor once a month for a meeting and again during the month for a workshop period when they carve and paint and dress their brain children — puppets. Head string-jerkers this year were Virgin- ia Fidyke and Geraldine Bentler; their as- sistants were John Rider and Shirley Bieg. Bill Haver and Rose Margaret Spore kept the minutes and Germaine Potter and John Fre- vert kept the money. Miss Thea Marquardt is club adviser. The twenty-two active members banded together with a laudable purpose in mind — that of having all I). H. S. students interest- ed in art get together to promote their knowl- edge and skill in puppet-making. Members will long remember the exhibit of marionettes they saw one meeting. There was every conceivable type of puppet there — rod puppets, hand puppets, shadow pup- pets and string puppets. They were con- structed of all types of material — cardboard, cork, rubber, oilcloth, papier mache, wood fabrics and plastic wood. In the fall the organization entered a float in the homecoming parade. Later the famed Rufus Rose Puppet Show came to D. II. S., thanks to the Art and Puppet Club and the public schools art students, and old and young alike sat enthralled before the witchery of lighting, costumes, and story. The club’s entry (with G. A. A.) in the annual Variety Show walked off with second prize in its division (class A). It was a clever parody on that well known—very well known —Disney cartoon, Ferdinand the Bull. 98 Firtil row. left to right. Oliver Larrabre. Paul Mas . Dale Duffy. James Coolon.

Spring semester president was Rob Getman, his vice president was Rob Kelly. John Ciesielski was secretary and treasurer and James Frevert was recorder and ser- geant-at-arms. Mr. Paul A. Young is the club’s sponsor along with Major Polk Atkin- son and Master Sergeant David Barlow. To crash the sacred portals a boy must be accepted by the old members. He must be neat, clean, and eager to serve. Once in the organization, he must watch his merit marks. If his number of merits decreases too much, he must watch himself carefully, although the Service Club boys are always given a second chance. The second semester’s officers were elected as follows: president, Gayle Randolph; vice president, Louis Mass; secretary and treas- urer, Rill Mapes; recorder and sergeant-at- arms, Eugene England. To save confusion, scarlet and blue arm bands were secured in February to be worn with the uniform when the member was in active service, and in March all qualified members received sweater emblems. The ser- vice bars given by the R. O. T. C. department at the annual competitive drill in May carry honor and distinction for the wearers. They are given for exceptional service. If you are wondering just what services the boys render, think back to the last bas- ketball game or the last school program, such as the Variety Show, and remember the courteous boy in the R. 0. T. C. uniform who took your ticket, gave you a program, and escorted you to your seat. Remember? He was a Service Club member. As a reward for service given, the athletic department entertained the club with a ban- quet and movie. 99 The great land of France is represented in Davenport High School by the French Club. Marjorie Griggs and Jean Watson were the two presi- dents this year. Their vice presidents were Ardella Benschoof and Julia Eiler. The secretaries, Mildred Gamber and Shirley Mason, had the difficult task, to most of us, at least, of writing the minutes in French, a very appro- priate and sure way of preserving the records of the club from the gaze of those unfamiliar with French. Lois Bashaw and Carol Kirk were in charge of the club's income and outgo. The French Club has four standing committees and efficient chairmen thereof. This year Marilyn Shapiro campaigned for new members, Carol Kirk was grand potentate in charge of initiations, Shirley Mason took charge of the social end of things and Ardella Benschoof publicized the club. The thirty-eight active members meet monthly in room thirty-eight. The order of business includes the singing of “La Marseillaise,” the French national anthem, in PTench, the business meeting, and finally, entertain- ment which usually included French games. A French version of the tale of the three bears was presented in January. In December the club mem- bers present sang French carols. Dan Cupid was remembered in February with a Valentine party. September’s bright blue weather brought a potluck supper at Lois Bashaw’s home and in October an initiation ceremony was enjoyed.

Heading the dramatists this year were Genevieve Jacobs and Bob Easterbrook; second in command were Dorothy Lee Wilson and Marian Hansen. Dorothy Franklin recorded the doings of the not-so-amateur actors and the club’s money was held by Bob Easterbrook and Douglas Bruner. Miss Mae Elma Wicks, Miss Eliza- beth Andersch, and Mr. Don Tornquist were the club’s guides, philosophers, and friends. This year opened with a grand hayrack ride on October 18. In Novem- ber any wanderers near room 65 would have heard the aspiring actors and actresses performing individually and nervously before a critical audience of old members. Pursuing the custom of the club, the members visited the Orpheum Theater in December. After an interesting and highly instruc- tive tour backstage, they were invited by the manager to remain for the show, after which everyone stopped downtown for refreshments. The organization entered a float in the homecoming parade and se- lected Dorothy Lee Wilson as its candidate for Homecoming Queen. For the annual Variety Show the club prepared two short plays. The first was a nursery skit in the style of Baby Snooks, “Who’s Afraid?’’, in which Betty Fischer and Bill Haver were the actors. A drawing room comedy “Two Boys Meet Girl” was the second with Donna Geertz, Joe Lee, and John Kerns as the comedians. 105 SCVAOOL DAZE, SCHOOL DAZE All the hopeful future pedagogues in I). H. S. are welcomed to the Normal Club by Miss Elsie Wallace, the club's adviser, and the girls of the club. Some of these were Roxana Campbell, president the first semester, Janette Kuehl, vice president the first semester, Beulah Barr, secretary the second half of the year, who succeeded Clara Staggs. Clara was the vice president during the spring semester. Marjorie Meade and Nora Paulus were custodians of the organization’s funds and June Stichter and Frances Jugenheimer were the efficient historians. This year the club’s activities were as varied as they were interesting. For example, at the first meeting, Miss Alta Warner told the assembled teachers-to- be of her last summer trip to Mexico. Then, to go from the sublime to the near- ridiculous, at the wiener roast September 27, the initiates were taken in. In Octo- ber, the club celebrated I Iallowe’en with a party at the Y. W. C. A. In November, it learned all about dairying from the trip through the Superior Dairy plant. In- cidently all present enjoyed an ice cream cone. The December meeting was par- ticularly festive—Mr. Russell Bickford told the group about his summer traveling in the Great Lakes region and the Gaspe peninsula. At the December meeting, the girls got right into the Christmas spirit and exchanged gifts. Everyone likes the cine-mah so everyone present at the January meeting enjoyed a movie. For the February get-together, the teacherettes enjoyed a day that the whole world antic- ipates before its arrival and remembers after its departure—Valentine’s Day. In the way of extra-clubular activities there was the float for the homecom- ing parade. Roxana Campbell, the club’s president was one of the Homecoming Queen’s attendants.

All the future homemakers, dress de- signers, dieticians, and other types of Home Ec’ers in I). II. S. gather once a month for the meeting of the Jane Addams Club. Joyce Pluckhahn was the president the first part of the year and Margaret Hynes, vice president, succeeded her in the spring. Juliann Quelle was the secretary-treasurer and June Schnoor was the program chairman for the year. Earline Lorraine took care of the Club’s publicity and Doris Longenecker recorded the club’s history. Miss Inez Whitney and Miss Mae Nantz are the club sponsor and leader, respectively. The new school year was launched with a talk by Miss Virginia Mapes about Mexico and an exhibit of lovely glassware, serapes, and pottery from our southern neighbor. During the year there were many interesting pro- grams. For example, in the fall some members of the club presented a short skit showing the right thing to do at certain times, and the following month a series of talks were presented by the girls on how to give a party, interesting games to play, and other points about which a good hostess is informed. The annual Christmas party was held in December, and in Jan- uary Miss Alice Faust of the public library gave a book review on “The Song of the Years,’’ by Bess Streeter Aldrich. In the spring were the Washington tea and the customary Big Sister Party for the similar clubs in J. B. Young and Sudlow Intermediate schools. The club entered a float in the homecoming parade and a candidate in the race for Homecoming Queen. Perhaps the outside activity that will be longest remembered was the party which the club holds every year for the little children at the Iowa Soldiers’ Orphan Home. 107 lite Blue Student Glut- Student Club, the high school division of Girl Reserves, is under the guidance of Miss June Strohmeier. This year’s president was Julia Eiler and her vice president was Elinor Bein. Shirley Bieg recorded the club’s activities and Betty Wellendorf held the purse strings. Triangle Among the interesting programs to be remembered are Mr. James Peeple’s talk on the negro recreational project in connection with Negro History Week, Miss Jacqueline Rehling’s on grace, and Miss Harrison’s about puppets which she illustrated with some examples of the puppet- maker’s art. The programs were not limited to speakers, however, for in November there was a style show and beauty demonstration in addition to the Recognition Service. In October there was a hike to Duck Creek and a wiener roast. February brought a trip to the public library and tea afterwards at the Y. W. C. A. Some of the club’s other activities during the year were the Christmas party at the “Y” for Mexican children, the waffle supper in January, and the Holy Week services at the Trinity Cathe- dral parish house which the organization sponsored jointly with the Hi-Y.

His first vice president was Bob Mahood. Chan (not Charlie) Hayes was secretary, Bob Danico held the club’s funds, Wayne Williams was sergeant-at-arms, Dick Miller was chaplain, and Bill Haver had charge of entertainment. Mr. Don Tornquist and Mr. Max Clowers were the club’s advisers. The organization has packed a lot of accomplishments into the short space of a year. It conducted a successful homecoming, with its candidate, Virginia Fidyke, reigning as Homecoming Queen. Her attendants were Dorothy Lee Wilson, Lucille Hobart, Jean Hoepner, and Scharlott Junge. 'lite HI-Y The club organized a new Hi-Y at Buffalo, Iowa, assisted the Y.M.C.A.’s Mothers Club in sponsoring the picture “Wings of the Navy’’ in order to raise money to send worthy boys to Camp Abe Lincoln, helped the Student Club with the Holy Week services, helped the Jaycees with the Tin Can Derby, sent delegates to the eastern Iowa Hi-Y Conference, to the National Hi-Y Congress at Berea, Kentucky, and to the Hi-Y Congress held at Camp Iduhapi, Minnesota. Then to add to its success, it planned an all-scl dance, a party for departing Hi-Y seniors, and a Martin-McCoy act for Variety Show that won first prize. During the year the organization 1 joint meetings and had joint parties with the Student Club. All these sides regular meetings. Busy people, these Hi-Y boys! V' Bottom row. left to riitht.

'■«I� c tll H',f’ Xy C: Wf l, rJi0ln b -rr? X bn te . : §« � '?.. Uo .S’ rU,-. The future pillars of the business world banded together this year to form the Com- mercial Club. Lois Bashaw and Marcella Tan gen were the club’s first presidents. Their assistants were Douglas Bruner and Doris Demling, and Mr. W. R. Baker was the club’s sponsor. Charles Furchbrich and Lois Ilel- frich recorded the organization’s doings, and Anna Marie Till and Mary Elizabeth Slaton had charge of financial affairs. There are two standing committees — cre- dential and entertainment — whose chairmen work with the executive board. The creden- tial committee has charge of the honor roll and presentation of certificates and pins. There were thirteen secretarial certificates, one first honor pin, and two second honor pins awarded this year. Ruth Buck and Rose Darell were chairmen of this committee. Duties of the entertainment committee are quite obvious — it plans parties and secures speakers for the meetings. This was done under Vivian Arp’s and Rose Margaret Spore’s guidance. Among other interesting programs they arranged to have a represen- tative speaker from the Morris Plan Bank and the county attorney talk. Mr. Clark Fil- seth, county attorney, spoke on “The Prose- cution of a Case.” Young as the club is, it has established a fine custom, that of bidding farewell to the departing seniors at a party. It intends to make this a semiannual custom. The club observed the Christmas season by entertaining itself at a super special party. Last fall, for the homecoming parade, the group entered an appropriate float — a cari- cature of an office, gum-chewing stenog, feet- on-desk boss and all. I Bottom row. left to right.

Sci lence Club The Physical Science Club welcomes not only students of chemistry and physics but also anyone in high school, student or faculty member, who is interested in science. Head welcomers this year for the two semesters were Bill Bieg and Fred Minard. Their assistants were Jack Shea and James Frevert. Thoburn Enge and Bob Hronek held the combined post of secretary and treasurer. Mr. Harold Money, Mr. Milton Brenneman and Mr. Hugh B. Woodroffe are the club’s faculty advisers. Science Club’s interest in science extended further than its name, for at each of the meetings some phase of practical or theoretical science was unfolded. In October Mr. Samuel Fetter of the Bettendorf Air Reduction Sales company demonstrated the properties of liquid oxygen and dry ice amid the popping of frozen rubber balls and chilled (very chilled) cran- berries. Captain A. G. Matthews came from the Rock Island Arsenal for the November meeting to tell the club about the construction and operation of the locks and dams of the upper Mississippi. To illustrate fully he showed several reels of film on the subject. Everyone was stargazing on the way home after the December meeting. Mr. Carl Gamble of Moline gave an absorbing talk on the stars, the sun, the moon and the planets. The club’s entry in the homecoming parade which was a float repre- senting an operation upon the rival team, won second prize, and Scharlott Junge, the club’s candidate for Homecoming Queen, became one of the Queen’s attendants. 112 Bottom row, Eva Mac Shewry, Connie Maybach, Sally Zoccklcr, Donna (irertx.

It’s prob- ably the arrival of the Bee Club’s third col- ony of bees. The club was organized to study bees and their habits, and experience being the best teacher, it has gradually acquired three colonies of bees. Mr. John Hitchings is leader of the ten boys interested. The president is Bob Felder- man, vice president is Edward Frandsen, and secretary and treasurer is Harlan Dennie. The royal and difficult game of chess possesses twelve faithful admirers in I). H. S. who banded together to form the Red Knights. President of the organization is Ken Schu- mann, and the secretary and tournament director is Ian McIntyre. Mr. Denzil Nelson is the club’s sponsor. The champion of the last tournament was Ken Schumann and his runner-up was Maurice Betzel.

Truly printing is the Mother of Progress and Edu- cation, for without it knowledge would still be the possession of a favored few. Think of the educational advantages that are yours today through the aid of printing. WAGNER PRINTING HAS BEEN CONTRIBUTING TO PROGRESS AND EDUCATION IN DAVENPORT FOR OVER 60 YEARS WAGNER'S PRINTERY, 315-317 WEST FOURTH STREET, DAVENPORT, IOWA Photo-Engraving and Education The great call today is for men of vision to lead us out of our stupidity — men who have an historical perspective — men, who with such enlightenment, can coordinate the things of the past and the present into a mosaic of the future. Thus may we achieve that greater understanding which leads to wisdom. So. with the aid of education, we are being trained to see what we did not know before and to enlarge our vision. The world is wide. We cannot all travel— we must tell of things that are far away. If we rest on verbal descriptions we know well that the listener might gather false impressions. With a picture before us. we have a sense of the whole, rather than a memory of unrelated parts. For such pictures we are indebted to the art of photography and photo-engraving. The Making of Photo-Engravings This is a most specialized job which requires skill and intricate mechanical equipment. The engraving department of Bawden Bros. Inc. located in Davenport has this combination of men and material available. The pages of this Davenport High School Annual constitute a display of Bawden Bros.' engraving. BAWDEN BROS. INC. 121 E.
