To the Class of 1940: Congratulations to you upon your graduation! The world today appears to be in great con- fusion and turmoil. This situation offers a great challenge to young men and women who are com- ing into fields of leadership. Because you have learned many valuable lessons — not only from textbooks but also from school contacts, you should be equipped to do much constructive ser- vice in bringing about contentment. As you go from our high school to take your places in further fields of education or service, I wish you continued success, good health, and true happiness. Sincerely your friend, A. I.

Miss Leona L. Soehren and Mr. Paul A. Young- fill the positions of advisers for the girls and boys, respectively. Their jobs con- sist in solving any and all sorts of student problems that may occur, such as: social and scholastic maladjustments and the like. The advisers also give guidance in the selection of subjects, arrangement of a student’s course in view of future occupations (voca- tional guidance) and assist students in the choice of the college they will attend. Miss Soehren is the supervisor of all school club work. Mr. Young is the spon- sor of the Service Club. Mr. Leslie C. Goss has charge of the arrangements for the public schools’ extra-curricular activities which include radio programs and athletics. Miss Wilna Nash is the nurse who supervises the first aid sta- tions in the high school. Dr. Carl H. Matthey is director in charge of the schools’ depart- ment of health. 12 Km mi In order that we may make the acquaint- ance of our authors and their works and may speak and write our mother tongue correctly, we are supplied with a very able staff of teachers in the English depart- ment. They take us through the book land of our English world and train us in our gram- mar. Through the study of our literature we learn of the customs, manners and his- tory of other times and places and acquire the taste for good reading. For those of us who aspire to write var- ious types of news stories and to under- stand the newspaper better there is the journalism course. The library includes many references for class work as well as books for recreational reading. Stated: Misses Margaret West. Jean MacDonald, (•ail Lapham. Mabel John- stone, Josephine Mirlield.

LIBRAM 13 For those who are plan- ning to study engineer- ing and other scientific courses in their college career, a knowledge of German is an asset, and therefore an elementary course of this language is offered. Latin provides an ex- cellent foundation for other languages and also is used by anyone prepar- ing for a professional career. Any student with the wanderlust will find that a year or two of French and Spanish will be use- ful to him in his travels as well as in general life. Soiled left to right: Mis Flossie Hate.'.

Included in the high school’s lineup of social sciences are European history, American his- tory, economics, soci- ology and civics. Both American history and civics are compulsory in order that students may know the history of the foundation and growth of our nation and have a knowledge of the workings and laws of the American government. European history pro- vides a background for students planning to at- tend college as well as those with special inter- est in world affairs. Economics ties in with the math course, and one can take sociology to be- come acquainted with so- cial conditions as they exist. ■led: Mr. liny, Mi� � Kcnrick. Slandinx: Mr. Still.

Some try to solve the knotty problem by alge- bra, some by geometry, some by trigonometry. Solid geometry, higher arithmetic, and business arithmetic are also help- ful. Mr. Jesse E. Day, Mr. W. S. Rosing, and Mr. Paul Still teach algebra, business arithmetic, and plane geometry. The solid geometry, second year al- gebra, and trigonometry courses are led by Miss Marie 0.

Misses Adelaide Bal- luff, Della May Taylor, Lois Hillemeyer, and Alta Warner train the short- hand and typewriting students, most of whom are girls. The study of practical commercial work also in- cludes accounting, secre- tarial bookkeeping, sales- manship, commercial law, bookkeeping, office ma- chine training, and in- dustrial geography. Mi� Doennecke. Mr . Hnrri Bright colors, vivid designs, and gay patterns are the first things that meet the eye on entering rooms 49 and 50, which compose the art depart- ment. Puppets, clay models, and metal work line the walls, producing a confusing impression at first to the uninitiated. Mrs. Thea Bacci and Miss Dorothy Doennecke first teach the eager young artists the fundamentals, then advance to the principles of design, painting, commercial art, sculptoring, and metal craft. Miss Doennecke was in charge of all the art work and layouts of the annual. Mr. Keiber, Miss Wicks, Miss Holmes, Mr. Tornguist The speech department provides much colorful activity at Davenport high school. Mr. A. E. Keiber teaches public speaking, while the ex- pression classes are led by Misses Mae Elma Wicks, Olivette Holmes, and Mr. Don Tornquist. The “pub” students specialize in debate, ora- tory, and declamation. The students represent- ing Davenport in forensic contests are coached by Mr. Keiber. Dramatic work is dealt with by the expression students, whose productions are coached by their teach- ers. There is always music n the air at Davenport ligh school, whether it e fall, winter, or spring. Phe vocal department is mder the direction of dr. Kent Gannett, while he instrumental division s headed by Mr. F. E. dortiboy, with the as- iistance of Messrs. B. G. chaefer and Tom Col- ins.. The band and the girls’ extet appeared in NBC’s ‘Music and American fouth” series Easter norning. Both depart- nents participated in nusic festivals and con- ests, winning high rat- ngs.

Besides learning to cook and sew capably, they also may take courses in dietetics and home management. Miss Inez Whitney, home economics super- visor of all the public schools, teaches home management and soci- ology, Miss Ida P. Haller teaches cooking exclu- sively, while Miss Flor- ence B. Soller and Miss Cora I. Wilson have only clothing classes. Miss Mae Nantz teaches home management, household sewing, and dietetics. These courses are en- tirely elective, but are very popular.

In these classes are included mechanical drawing, pattern making and wood turning. Then there are also forge, foundry work and print- ing. In connection with the printing training, the school newspaper, the Blackhawk, has been printed once every two weeks for the past three years by the students. From the ranks of the industrial arts students will come carpenters, metal workers, architects, printers, and engineers for the industrial pro- jects of tomorrow. The man on the Hying trapeze has lothing on the boys who take gym. rhroughout the year they are constant- y training in one phase or another of jym work. A variety of sports is offered includ- ing boxing, tennis, track, wrestling, bas- ketball, volleyball, and work on parallel ars. Sometimes Mr. 0. E. Johnson, the in- structor, makes certain work, such as asketball, compulsory. When this is lone each boy must pass an examination o prove his skill, and, until this is done, his student cannot obtain a grade. Miss Deone Gibson is director of girls' fym and with an assistant, Miss Helen Jmelin, she plans the choice of various ports that the girls can enjoy. Iler program for the girls includes umbling, volleyball, basketball, ping- K ng, reducing, baseball, modern danc- ng, and individual sports. Standing: Mr. Johnston. Suited: Mist� Gibson, Mins Gmclin.

The first problem is the theme. Having picked the seasons as the theme, the next step was to enumerate or pick out the con- tents of each season. Our next act was to figure out the total number of pages, the number of pages for each season, and the advertising; thence to the making of the first “dummy.” The first “dummy” was a very rough plan of the book, page by page. This was the job of the three editors, who, after school, strained weary brows for ideas. Mean- while the advertising staff was “rolling,” hunting prospective customers, all this tak- ing place the first few weeks of school. In November a committee from the staff went to the National Scholastic Press Asso- ciation convention in Chicago, where they re- ceived hints and suggestions on the construc- tion and development of high school year- books. At last the Fall section was finished. What a relief! Then, up to Miss Doennecke for her students to begin work on the final draft. Here art students designed and added the vital color and layouts needed to help make the book a success. On to the Winter section. Hmmmmmmmmmm! Let’s see. Cut a few pages here; add one there; need one more for intramurals; better take one out here..... And so it went, day in and day out. All departments were running smoothly. The sports editor was busy with football, the class editor with data on graduates, the pho- tographer was bringing pictures regularly for page “layouts.” Then came Spring! In most cases ‘a young man’s fancy lightly turns-’ as the old say- ing goes, but the editors just heaved a sigh and rolled up their sleeves. For it is in Spring that things really “hum.” Now all the pic- tures of clubs, R. 0. T. C., and gymnasium classes were taken and most important, that old ‘deadline’ was creeping closer and closer. Club pictures were taken, the club editor worked at top speed; R. O. T. C., and gymna- sium pictures were taken and slowly but surely the book was being finished. Finally came the deadline. The copy was in, the advertising had been cleaned up, the pictures were in place, and the book was on its way to the printers. The result? A very satisfied staff and. well, see for yourself!

THE Journalists Find New Advisor When the newly appointed lilack- hawk staff returned to school a week before school officially started last fall in order to put out an early edition, it found a new facul- ty advisor, Mr. Hach. The Mackhawk soon got under- way to report all the high school activities m a manner that im- proved with each succeeding issue. For Homecoming, the staff put out an extra that was distributed to all the students. Very unusual in the high school newspaper field, the Blaekhawk issued two full pages of pictures, used large color cuts, and put out several six-page edi- tions.

BLACKHAWK Staff Members Attend Convention In order to publish a paper with the advantage of being better in- formed, several staff members of the Blackhawk attended the Na- tional Scholastic Press Association convention in Chicago last Novem- ber. Here they took short courses conducted by outstanding men in the field of newspaper work — edi- tors, educators, executives. Knowing that many of the sub- scribers are interested in stage and screen personalities, the Blackhawk tried and succeeded in interviewing Francis Lederer when he was in Davenport. Quill and Scroll Chapter Organized A chapter of Quill and Scroll, the international honor society for high school journalists, was organ- ized during the Spring semester by Mr. Hach. Charter members were initiated into the Dr. Frank Luther Mott chapter at the publications’ banquet June 1. Deadline days often found the paper in the process of being writ- ten as late as 8 o’clock at night. Since all work and no play is not a good policy, the staff compensat- ed with several informal “blow- outs” this spring — the best of which was a pot luck supper held at Credit Island with the yearbook staff. Blackhawk Hated as Excellent” The Blackhawk has been award- ed another outstanding rating, “First Class—Excellent” bestowed by the National Scholastic Press Association. There were only three schools in the Blackhawk division (1600-2500 students) who outdid the Blackhawk for all around good journalism during the first semes- ter. The N. S. P. A. is an organiza- tion that exists for the sole pur- pose of raising the standards of high school journalism by author- itative criticisms with suggestions for improvement. The Blackhawk also expects a superior rating from Quill and Scroll which will not be announced until next fall. 7 4e beoiLi Upper right: Kipping holes in the opposing line is the job of Captain John Stank, stalwart Blur Devil tackle, and member of the I.

Throughout the season, the Blue Devils were led by the stalwart work of Captain John Staack on the forward wall, and Ronald Baker in the backfield. Starting the season off with a bang in their 28-0 triumph over a flashy West Waterloo eleven, the Imps looked like they were headed for a splendid season. The following game, how- ever, seemed to put a momentary stop to this thought when an inspired East Moline team subdued the seemingly powerful Davenport ag- gregation by a score of 7-0. Davenport returned to the “wins” column, when it managed to eke out a 6-0 victory over Rock Island, a perennial hazard to the Devils, and also a Quad-City title competitor. The game at Dubuque on October 13 proved to be one of the unexplainable disappointments when the Davenport team was given a decisive 12-0 beat- ing by the Rams. To get revenge for the 21-7 defeat handed to them by the Davenport team during the 1938 season was undoubtedly the keynote of the scrappy group of football veterans from Moose- heart, when they played the fighting Imps to a 7-7 deadlock, on the night of October 20, at the Brady street field. The following game brought sweet revenge to the Blue Devils’ camp when they outplayed and outscored a determined Iowa City team (the only team to beat Davenport during the 1938 season) to the tune of a 6-0 score. The night of November 1 saw the Daven- porters perform brilliantly when they entirely outclassed the Clinton River Kings 18-0 on the annual Davenport high school Homecoming celebration. It is best to speak only briefly of the remain- ing two games of the schedule, for the Imps again lapsed into a period of unexplainable dis- appointment, when they dropped a losing battle to a great De Vilbiss, Ohio, eleven by the score of 19-7, and then in the big Thanksgiving game with Moline, a game which the dopesters figured would be a nip-and-tuck battle, in which the valiant Blue Devils were literally snowed under by a barrage of touch-downs, and were glad to settle with a final score of 34-0 in favor of the Maroons. To prepare themselves for future battles which will be fought for the honor of the Red and Blue of Daven- port high school is the purpose of the sophomore football team who, during the 1939 season, played nine games, winning five, losing three, and tying one. In the opening encounter, the sophs lost a hard fought game to the Lyons’ varsity team by a score of 20-0. At Du- buque the next week, Coach Rosing’s boys beat the Little Rams 12-6. Play- ing the annual grudge battle with Rock Island, neither team could push a counter across the goal. Score 0-0. In the next four games the yearlings made a great record for themselves, whipping four tough opjxments in succession. They were Moline 13-0, Last Moline 7-0, Rock Island 13-7, and Clinton 19-0. In the remaining two games, the sophs met adverse condi- tions and lost both. Last Moline in a return game won 7-0, and Moline in the final game followed the Varsity’s example and beat the valiant sopho- mores 25-6.

The 1939 Homecoming; celebrations began with a parade through the business district of Davenport at 4:45 p. m., Wednesday, November 1. Miss Schar- lotte Junge, Queen, and her attendants were the stars of the procession, preceded by the R. 0. T. C. Color Guard and the I). H. S. Band, followed by a colorful parade of floats entered by the high school’s many and varied student organizations. The G. A. A.’s very original float won first prize, and second, third, fourth and fifth prizes were earned by the Student club, Dramatic club, French club, and Quill club respectively. Once again Davenport high school bowed to the reign of a fair-headed queen, and her attendants. The crown of monarchy rested this year on the beau- tiful head of Miss Scharlotte Junge, who reigned supreme over all of the many activities of the Homecoming celebration. She was sponsored by the R. 0. T. C. Service club and the Jane Addams club. Her attendants were the Misses Betty 28 Maxwell, Beverly Brown- lie, Ix)is Dietz, and Alice “Lietz” Braunlich. The Queen and her attend- ants were elected by the popular vote of the stu- dent body and the facul- ty. The royal party was entertained at a banquet in the Empire room of the Motel Blackhawk. Featured speakers at the banquet were A. I. Nau- mann, Principal of the high school,I.H. Schmitt, Superintendent of Schools, and Art Krop- pach, representative of the Mayor. A radio broadcast was arranged on station WOC. Following the Home- coming banquet, the queen and her attendants were escorted to the Pub- lic School’s Athletic field where they were seated in the royal box, from there to witness the Homecoming Clash be- tween the Clinton River Kings and our own Blue Principal A.

Queen Scharlotte reigned over the dance from her throne, and also led the grand march. The music for this fes- tive occasion was provid- ed by Jack Manthey and his orchestra. The Homecoming cele- brations are sponsored annually by the Daven- port Hi-Y Club with the advice of Director of Athletics Leslie C. Goss and the lx ys’ work secre- tary of the Y. M. C. A., Max W.

Miss Scharlotte Junge and Miss Betty Maxwell were named Honorary Cadet Majors. The awards were presented to the girls at the ball by Colonel Kamsey of the Rock Island Arsenal. Sterling silver insignias of their rank and miniature sabres with their names engraved were awarded to the honorary officers. While the presentations were being made, the R. 0. T. C. Guard of Honor composed of a group of officers stood at attention. The ballroom was decorated with flags of all countries and the entire program was carried on in true military style. 31 Jane lildams cMelfU+iCf Otlte iA, 1st row: Janette Mc.vcr, Juanita Kartel, Trula McCnrd, Kleanor I'aysen, June Hartman, Jette Karris, Joyce Farris, Helen Kraus, Bertha Spear.

Girls, if you’re domestically minded and interested in home economics, then Jane Addams club is the one for you! The club was especially active this year and increased its membership to ninety-five. The fac- ulty sponsor is Miss Inez Whitney, and Miss Mae Nantz is the leader. The officers for the fall semester were: Margaret Gravitt, president; Jett Farris, vice-pres- ident; and Bette Farris, secretary-treasurer. Those presiding at the monthly meetings during the spring semester were: Jett Farris, president; Bette Farris, vice-president; and June Hartman, secretary-treasurer. In September, the Jane Addams club initiated thirty-three members. The club entered a float in the Homecoming Parade, and Scharlotte Junge, its candidate for queen, was the winnah! At Christmas time, the girls enjoyed a party with the R. 0. T. C. Service club in the Home Economics building. One of the outstanding activities of the year was the annual Christmas party for the pre- school children at the Iowa Soldiers Orphans Home, at which time the club entertained thirty- seven children and distributed gifts. An interesting meeting was the one at which Miss Ebersole from the public library gave a review of the book, “Maude.” The customary “Big Sister” party for the Jane Addams club of J. B. Young Intermediate was held in March. In June, the meeting was in the form of the club’s annual picnic. Throughout the year the club had many original programs planned by the girls themselves. 32 lxl row: Virginia Vartanian. Alice Bcdcian. I.aura Farrell.

Jlit lG Uf, 1 UosJz Sli p, With each turn of the seasons, you will find the Quill club buzzing with new activity. Each page of the calendar means some special work or entertainment for Miss Johnstone, the advisor, and this group of budding writers. In the fall. Miss Margaret West, told the members about her trip to China and showed movies of various Chinese scenes. When Homecoming time came ’round, the Quill entered a float in the parade and was awarded a prize. Fall means election time and Catherine Harmeier became president and Bill Ede, vice-pres- ident. Jack Ogden served as secretary and Alice Bedeian acted as treasurer. Two highlights of the winter months were a Christmas party, given outside of school hours, and a talk given by Mr. Clarence Hach, journalism teacher, in January. Throughout the school year the writers of this club have contributed material to the Black- hawk, and this is the third year that the Quill club has been represented in the Variety show. When spring came, Bill Ede was elected president, Patricia Leonard vice-president, Dorothy Traeger, secretary, and Philip Lehman, treasurer. The ambitious scribblers wrote the continuitv for and put on a radio broadcast over station woe. Members of the club had an opportunity to enter their work in a writing contest which the club sponsored and cash awards were given to the winners.

Ant Glut . ™ ' smith- Marcia Mr� . Bac -'- jo� n fkcn. The I'iiinl NpiilJr If you’re an artist or a lover of art, you really should join the Art club and enjoy its activities with the other 23 I). H. S. art students who are all active members of this organization. The club meets on the fourth school Monday in the art room, 19 with its faculty advisors Mrs. Thea Bacci and Miss Dorothy Doennecke. The meetings, as one might suspect, are all connected with art in some way. Art programs are given and trips are taken to the art gallery to see the various exhibits. However, the club activities are not all spectator in nature, for some meetings are work-shop hours where work is done on various projects such as work on the school activity mural for the art room, and on the mural decoration for a new elementary school. The following oflicers presided over the club during the spring and fall semesters: Pres., Virginia Fidyke and Warren Clymer; Vice Pres., Bonnie Nighswander and Otto Schroeder; Secretary, Virginia Challis and Robert Harte; Treasurer, Marcia Izove and John Frevert; Program chairman, Bonnie Nighswander. tf-n ncU GUL Le Cercie Fnnuiiis To be very appropriate this should be written in French, n’est-ce pas? And no doubt Miss Dorothy Blackman, the faculty advisor for the French club, would have the job of translating some 1,000 annuals, so for her sake we’ll proceed in English. The French club consists of about 38 French-minded members who meet once a month in room 38. The officers for the fall semester were: President, Shirley Mason; Vice-President, Beverly Brownlie; Secretaire. Mariorie Grove; and Tresorier, Katherine Englehart. Last fall the members designed a float for the Homecoming parade which won third prize and supported Alice Braunlich for Homecoming queen. To enrich the treasury, the members sold candy at a football game, and pop and ice cream at a basketball game. The officers for the spring semester were: President, Alice Braunlich; Vice-Pres- ident. Katherine Englehart; Secretaire, Marjorie Soenke; Tresorier, Jean Hansen. The club enjoyed a potluck supper at Katherine Englehart’s in March. The last meeting, this June, was in the form of a picnic at which time the members almost forgot their French for potato chips. At the meeting all the members answer roll call “Present,” but the secretaire is the one who really puts her French to a test for she must not only write the minutes in French, but read them back as well. The programs consist of playing games and singing songs in French, and having reports on French customs. You can see that this club would be an aid to all you French students as well as a lot of fun. At one meeting the members enjoyed a dramatization of “Le Petit Chaperon Rouge,” (Little Red Riding Hood), which was directed by Anna Katz. Dorothy Frank- lin and “Lietz” Braunlich had the leading roles. 35 Atom fiuAteSiA,'' This club, as the name implies, is concerned with many phases of science and has about thirty-five members at the present time. The faculty advisors for the club are Mr. Harold Money, Mr. Milton B. Brenneman, and Mr. Hugh B. Woodroffe. The presiding officers for the fall and spring semesters were: Presidents, James Frevert and Robert Getman; Vice- Presidents, Frederick Minard and John Frevert; Secretaries, Mary Lou Gould and Betty Jane Montgomery; and Treasurer, Janette Meyer. In the fall semester the club enjoyed a theatre party at the Capitol. Another interesting program was an absorbing demon- stration on luminous paint given by a professor from St. Ambrose College. The Science Club exchanged parties with the club in East Moline during the Spring semester, attending a party in East Moline and had one at I). H. S. They also took a trip to the Ethyl Clinic in the spring. The club’s meetings consist of a business meeting and a program which always has a connection with some phase of science. This club is, therefore, educational as well as social. Scientifically minded? Then by all means you should join the Science club which welcomes all Physical Science Students. 1st row : Myron Fidlcr.

'leaohe iA Ik the McJzIkx A “weiner” roast was the fall outing taken by the Normal club. During the autumn the girls also enjoyed a demonstrated lecture on teaching of reading and science by Miss Dorothy Jugenheimer. Hallowe’en brought forth a party for these young ladies and they all supported Lois Dietz for their Homecoming Queen candidate. She was an attendant to the Queen and the club also entered a float in the parade. When winter blew its icy breath, the club planned inside fun and held a banquet in January. An original dramatization of a song was their contribution to the Variety show. In the spring a young man’s fancy may turn to thoughts of love, but the ambitious Normal girls, aided by Miss Wallace, planned a picnic and were entertained at an afterschool meet- ing by Miss Jane Kellenberger, speech expert. For the autumn semester, Clara Staggs was President and in the spring, June Stichter took over her duties. 1st row: Nclba .Moeller, Belly Miller, Inez. Smith. June Slirhler.

The Hi Y “Riding High” is the Hi-Y, one of the most active organizations in D. H. S. This club is the Davenport high school organization of the Y. M. C. A. and at the present time has a membership of about 45. The club’s advisor is Max Clowers of the Y. M. C. A. 'Hie officers for both the fall and the spring semesters are: President, Bill Mahood; Vice-President, Jim Hamre; Secretary, Jack Fisher; and Treasurer, James Frevert. Last fall the club sponsored the annual Homecoming activities — com- plete with a banquet, parade, and dance. This spring it won second prize in the Variety Show with a very clever radio skit. During Easter Holy Week the Hi-Y boys helped the Student club girls plan the services held at Trinity Cathedral every morning. And these lads really know how to give gala parties as shown by the success of their hay rack ride in December, the joint carnival party with the Student club in February, and their Senior party held in June. Last winter, ten of these boys journeyed to Cedar Rapids for a Hi-Y conference (and was it fun! according to the ten). 38 1st row: Joan Ixniisc Thucncn. Shirley Mason. Marxic Schiernbeok.

S. is the Student club, the high school division of Girl Reserves. This club is open to any girl in school who accepts the purposes of Girl Reserve and the Y. W. C. A. At the present time the membership is 125. Miss Willa Hind is the Girl Reserve secretary of the Y. W. C. A. and the faculty advisors are Miss Dorothy Doennecke, Miss Helen Gmelin, Miss Olivette Holmes, and Mrs. Virginia Rose- berg. The officers for the fall and spring semesters are: President, Velma Walliker; Vice-President, Ruth Ringstrom; Secretaries, Betty Bromgrem and Phyllis Hemming- son; Treasurers, Wanda Sadlick and Shirley Mason. In September the Student club gave a fall round-up party for all old and new members. The club went camping when it entertained the Five River City Girl Re- serve’s Conference at Camp Lincoln. In October, Miss Holmes talked on what it means to me to be a G. R. The club’s float in the Homecoming Parade won second prize. Velma Walliker was their candidate. During World Fellowship Week in November the club enjoyed a talk by Mr. James Peoples on the activities of the negro. In December a recognition ceremony was held for all new members, and Mrs. Roseberg was surprised at a shower in honor of her marriage. The club’s bit of charity for the month of December was a party given at the “Y” for Mexican children. The theme of the January meeting was “Beauty and Charm” and Miss Holmes spoke to the girls about “Personality and Charm” while they learned all about beauty from Mrs. Bussell. The new members were entertained at a Heart-Sister party in February and the March meeting was in the form of a style show. The club was represented by 22 girls at the Northeast Iowa Girl Reserve Confer- ence at Waterloo. This organization and the Hi-Y sponsored the Holy Week services at the Trinity Cathedral parish house. Vocational guidance talks were enjoyed in April and the highlight of the activities in May was a Mother-Dad-Daughter dinner. The climax was reached in June with installation of new officers, a ring ceremony, and the senior farewell. A unique feature of this Student Club is the club newspaper the “Co-Ed Times,” which is distributed at the meeting once a month. 39 Service Clui) The Service clui) is an organization of R. 0. T. C. boys who really live up to their name—They Serve! ! ! ! Within the past year the Service club has been placed upon a strict military basis, and since then, it has become an integral part of the extra-curricular system. Mr. Young is the faculty advisor for this club. The officers for the fall semester were: President, Gayle Randolph; Vice-President, Robert Kel- ly; Secretary-Treasurer, Alfred Keller; Sergeant-at-Arms, James Coolan. The club has been on duty at all athletic events and other school activities during the past year. Perhaps you remember the boys who helped to preserve peace and quiet at the football games, Homecoming Dance, Turkey Hop, and Military Ball. The Service club’s candidate for Homecoming Queen, Scharlotte Junge, was the winner. The officers for the spring semester were: President, Bob Kelly; Vice-President, Alfred Keller; Secretary-Treasurer, Robert Jones; Sergeant-at-Arms, James Coolan. Gayle Randolph acted as ad- visor during the spring semester. The Service club is not only very much in demand to help at all school activities, but is also being asked for by civic groups about the city. 40 Dramatic When bonfires, witches, football games and turkey, or fall in other words, drifted onto the scene, this year Dramatic club chose a cast for the play, “The Fatal Quest.” This play was then sent to entertain the Rock Island high dramatic club because they have a reciprocity agreement with them. Dramatic club’s entry in the Homecoming parade last autumn netted it a nice cash award. For the fall semester and for the spring semester the officers were: Bob Ray, president; Betty Fischer, vice-president; Dorothy Franklin, secretary; and Ruth Ringstrom, treasurer. When Rock Island high put on the play, “Spring Dance,” this winter, they invited the I). II. S. thespians to be their guests and Davenport returned the favor when they produced the play, “A Murder Has Been Arranged.” Comes spring, comes parties, and so the Dramatic club held a “Shindig” on April 15. From time to time throughout the year the club has sent out members to provide entertain- ment, such as plays and readings to local organizations. Miss Wicks, Miss Holmes, and Mr. Tornquist served as advisors. 41 GojttmeSicial Club 1 1 row: Helm ( hlmnn, Dorik I.othringcr. Marian Minfcldt. Arline Lamp. Dolore� Lukavnky, Dorothy Ander.

Slums 0nr (iiiiil During the fall months the programs of the Commercial club were centered around profitable ways to spend vacations. Among other interesting features of the monthly meetings were travel talks by Miss Eskelson on “Travels Through Europe” and by Miss Warner on “Mexican Journeys.” The following officers were selected: Douglas Bruner, President; I eslie Steel, Vice-President; Edna Mae I irenzen, Secretary; and Shirley Goodwin, Treasurer. One of the high spots of the winter months was a talk by Mr. Hach entitled “Story of a Story” — or “How a News Story Gets into Print.” The December meeting was in the form of a Christmas party held in the gymnasium. The spring programs were devoted to employment opportunities. At the February meeting Miss Soehren gave an excellent talk on “Do’s and Dont’s” in Your Job. Next month Miss Taylor followed up with “Stenographic Opportunities for Employment in Hollywood.” The second semester Dwayne Wiggins was elected president; Douglas Bruner, Vice-President; Marjorie Robbins, Secretary; and Lorraine Beagle, Treasurer. The Club has a membership of seventy. Faculty members of the Commercial department act as club sponsors, serving in rotation. Miss Warner, 1939-1910. 42 IU Q. i. The G. A. A. had a larger enrollment in D. H. S. this year than ever before, having about 150 members. Any girl in D. H. S. is eligible to belong if she has earned the necessary 50 points. The officers for both the fall and spring semesters were: President, Lillian Baele; Vice-President, Pat Wichelman; Secretary-Treasurer, Virginia Lindsay. Last September the club entertained 40 girls at a rushing party. The girls participated in various sports and re- freshments were served. In October formal and informal initiation was held for 40 new members. The G. A. A. entered the winning float in the Homecoming parade in November and its candidate, Betty Max- well, was an attendant to the queen. In January the girls went to town and sponsored a “Spinster Spree.” The Swing Stars furnished the music for dancing and other games were enjoyed. The girls even furnished vegetable corsages for the boys. It was such a sell out that the club is planning to make it an annual affair. In the spring semester the G. A. A. held another rushing party, and in February it won first place in the Variety Show with a school room scene which, if not quite realistic, was very amusing. In April, six girls attended the “Ship Ahoy” play day at the Dubuque high school. Girls from several different high schools took part in this play day, and they all enjoyed the games and various activities. 1st row: June Watson. Kthcl Miller. Doris Butman. Margaret Garcia.

The first consul will preside. The Latin club ranks among the larger clubs, having about seventy members. Any student who is taking Latin, or has taken it, is eligible for membership. Fall, winter, or spring the club meets on the third Wednesday in each school month. The faculty advisors for the club are Miss Flossie Bates and Miss Minnie Eskelson. The members answer roll call “adsum” or with a Latin quotation. The minutes however, are written in English. The officers for the fall semester were: First Consul (president), Beverlie Brownlie; Second-Consul (vice-president), Dwayne Wiggins; Scriba (secretary), Susanne Bush; and Quaestor (treasurer), Adelaide Arndt. For the spring semester the officers were: First-Consul, Joe Lee; Second- Consul, Dwayne Wiggins; Scriba, Marion Johnson; and Quaestor, Donald Boege. Joyce Keith held the position of Aedile, in charge of refreshments for both semesters. The club sold candy at a football game last fall and pop and ice cream at a basketball game in December. At Christmas time the club again contributed five dollars to the Student Aid Fund. The programs of the club have to do with the classics. Sometimes the mem- bers sing Latin songs, or present a skit in Latin. One of the meetings was in the form of a radio program. The Latin Club sponsors the giving of awards to the four-year students who have made E or G records. These awards are gold pins in the form of the Fasces. Beverlie Brownlie and Joe Lee received awards this year. . Bostic. Margaret Finch. Flora Young. 2nd ,row:D thy WiUon. Da� M« iHtgMarU„ Sol.to. B.rb.r. ,,„„.1,1 11««., Tr.l .'- Jl L Zi xcutaleA.

On January 20, at 8 o’clock in the D. H. S. auditorium before their friends, parents and rela- tives, the 186 in the January graduating class of 1940 received their well-earned diplomas. They heard I)r. Dale D. Welch, president of the University of Dubuque, (in Dubuque, Iowa) on the appropo subject of “Whither Bound.” As always, and as is the tradition, the president of the Davenport School Board, Dr. Edward F. Strohbehn, called the seniors and presented them with their diplomas. After the commencement ceremonies were completed, the semi-annual Senior Prom was held in the Coliseum ballroom. Baccalaureate services (farewell address for the graduates) were held by the Rev. F. D. Codd at the Cavalry Baptist Church, Sunday, January 21, at 4 o’clock that afternoon. In their gray caps and gowns, they presented an impressive sight to those attending the sermon.

Students have fun in the winter’s sea- son, for it is then that the outside activ- ities have reached their highest peak. In fall, the activities get ofT to a rather slug- gish start; and in the spring, that old de- mon Fever has slowed them down again, somewhat. Hut in the winter--------! Well, we shall show you what occurred in the long winter of ’39-’40. The mid-year grad- uating class presented their play, “New Fires,” directed by Miss Olivette Holmes! The seniors also held their prom, at the Coliseum, as usual, and danced ’til the wee sma’ hours to the music of George Sir Venka and his orchestra. Actutiti i And what a love- ly dancer Kleanor Kynn is! The 12A mixer was held in the gym this year on January 16, in the form of a hard times party. Everyone attended this queer social event arrayed in their very worst clothes: ragged shirts, patched trousers and dresses, and the like; looking very much like “Okies” from Steinbeck’s “Grapes of Wrath.” On January 31, Davenport high school celebrat- ed a sort of mild “Sadie Hawkins” day, in the form of a Spinster Spree. This year being leap year, the G. A. A. decided to give the spinsters a chance to get a man, in the best Brenda and Co- bina style, and take him to the dance. The dance was held in the gym; music was furnished by the Swing Stars. Then, there was the Variety show, with most of the student organizations taking part. It was truly a variety show this year: many different stunts being performed. The G. A. A. took first prize with their skit “A Washington’s Birthday School Party.” The Hi-Y copped prize number two, while the Dramatic and Student clubs won third and fourth places.

At various seasons of the year the high school Public Speaking department partici- pates in inter-scholastic contests and a Na- tional Speech Tournament. Preliminary contests for the National For- ensic League Tournament are held first to determine the school’s representatives in the district meet which was held April 12, this year at Waterloo, Iowa. The Affirmative debate team for D. H. S. was composed of Louise Hilfman, leader, and Bob Kay; the school was represented on the Negative by Bob Murray, leader, and Jane Shipton. In Dramatic declamation Virginia Thomas- son and Catherine Harmeier were the con- testants, Leo ZifFren and Beverly Lieberstein competed in Original Oratory, Don Rivkin and Beverly Lieberstein in Oratorical declam- ation, and Jane Shipton and Bob Murray in Extemporaneous Speaking. Numerous outside contests have also been arranged. Thus far there have been three: In the Boys’ Oratory Tournament Don Riv- kin placed first and Bob Ray took second place. The Girls’ Quin-City Tournament included contests in Oratorical, Dramatic and Humor- ous declamation. Davenport won the meet be- cause of the fact that Beverly Lieberstein won the Oratory, Catherine Harmeier the Dramatic and Virginia Thomasson the Hu- morous contest. Two dual meets in the Dramatic and Hu- morous phases of declamation were held with Geneseo, Illinois high school. In the contests held in Davenport, Virginia Thomasson and Beverly Lieberstein were the Dramatic re- Don Kivkin. Richard Froesch- Ir.

When the contests occurred in Geneseo, Catherine Harmeier and Louise Hilfman con- tested in the Dramatic division and Loretta Lage and Myra Flenker were our Humorous Contestants. In the State Declamatory contests this year, I). H. S. distinguished itself by captur- ing two seconds and a first when the State Finals were held at Cherokee, Iowa, February 9, 1940. Our representatives in the Dramatic, Ora- torical and Humorous declamations were Vir- ginia Thomassan, Beverly Lieberstein and Bob Ray respectively. Bob rated first and Virginia and Beverly second. The Boys’ Iowa Nine met last December 11 at Muscatine. I). H. S.'s Dramatic and Ora- torical declamers, Otto Schroeder and Don Rivkin, respectively, won Superior ratings, while Richard Froeschle was ranked Excel- lent. The girls in the “Pub” department made a clean sweep of the Girls’ Iowa Nine at Bur- lington, February 5, with all three represen- tatives in the three types of declamation ob- taining Superior ratings. These girls were: Jane Shipton, Oratory; Catherine Harmeier, Dramatic; and Loretta Lage, Humorous. Jnnr Shipton. Cath- erine Harmeier. Lor- etta Lage. Hob Ray.

The question for debate this year was: “Resolved: That the Federal Government should own and oper- ate the Railroads.” The first squad was composed of: Bob Ray, Bever- ly Lieberstein, Louise Hilfman, Bud Vieth, Dave McFerren, Leo Ziffren, Duane Paulsen and Fran- ces Rock on the Affirmative and Jane Shipton, Bob Murray, Ross Sidney, Jean Aldredge, Bill Shan- non, Jack Tunwall and Wendell Ginsberg on the Negative. On the Second squad Affirmative were: Sitting: Kos Sidney. Jane Shipton. Bob Murray. Standing: Bill Shannon. Jack Tunwall. Jean Aldredge, Wendel (Ilns- berg. Bill Puls, Art Parks, Otto Schroeder, Glenn Suiter and Bob Carroll. The Negative mem- bers were: Belle Sirota, Myra Flenker, Ken- neth Schumann, and Everett Hageman. Competing at the State debate tournament were: Louise Ililfman, Bob Ray, and Dave McFerren on the Affirmative and on the Neg- ative: Bob Murray, Jane Shipton and Ross Sidney. In the District debates of the N. F. L., the D. H. S. debaters, Louise Hilfman, Bob Ray, Bob Murray and Jane Shipton, placed first. Each year Augustana college sponsors a debate tournament. This year, when the Davenporters participated, they walked off with second place. In both the Girls’ Tournament at Musca- tine and the Invitation debates at Waterloo, first place was awarded to our teams. The girls who represented our school at Musca- tine were: Frances Rock, Beverly Lieber- stein, Jean Aldredge and Jane Shipton and the rest of the first squad competed at Water- loo. First place went to the Davenport Debat- ers when they also entered the Iowa Nine Contests. All in all, the Davenport squads have par- ticipated in 105 debates this year. 60 High-lighting the school year for the Public Speaking students is the National Speech Tournament which was held this year during the week April 28 to May 3 in Terre Haute, Indiana. Having placed first in the district contests, these people represented our school at the National contest: Humorous declamation, Bob Kay and Catherine Harmeier; Original Ora- tory, Leo Ziffren and Don Rivkin; Student Congress, House of Representatives, Bud Vieth; Extemporaneous Speaking, Jane Shipton; Debate: Ix uise Hilfman, Bob Ray, Affirm- ative; Bob Murray, Jane Shipton, Negative. Bob Ray went to the National for the third time this year because he won the district meet when a Sophomore. The same rule permitted Catherine Harmeier to go in the Humor- ous this second year.

At the Nation Speech Contest held in Terre Haute, Indiana on April 28 to May 3, Davenport representatives brought our school additional victories. Bob Ray, last year’s national champion, placed fourth in hu- morous declamation and Jane Shipton tenth in extemporane- ous speaking. Our debate team, composed of Louise Hilfman, Bob Ray, Bob Murray, and Jane Shipton was also awarded tenth place honors. Donald Rivkin was successful in reaching the orig- inal oratory quarter finals, while Virginia Thomasson in dramatic declamation, Leo Ziffren in orig- inal and dramatic declamation represented us through the pre- liminaries. Student Congressman Bud Vieth gained recognition in the House of Representatives with the introduction of a bill. Left to right: Leo ZilTrcn.

Investigating the science of the mind is only one of the interesting projects taken up in this course. Other things are matching words and a general psychological background. This course under Miss Wallace is taken almost exclu- sively by seniors who plan to go further in Normal Train- ing. te technique of business learn For future secretaries and businessmen, a course in DIIS’s business course is one of the best. It includes bookkeeping, office machine training, typewriting, shorthand, dictaphone and mimeographing. Students are trained in the use of these machines and the general tech- nique of business life. Many of the typists be- come staff members of the Blackhawk paper and annual. 63 % e the exactness of science Straining brows for elusive answers and pounds that just won’t come are these scientists to be and future Ein- steins. Subjects such as these increase the use of logic and in many cases the use of self control. In ad- dition to its invaluable- ness to future engineers, architects, militarists, etc., it provides a better understanding of modern problems for the ordi- nary citizen. 64 to use the microscope Fondling reptiles is not to the liking of some, but, in spite of this it teaches stud- ents to understand them, their place in the world, and to bet- ter understand nature’s crea- tions. Peeping at bacteria under the microscope also is includ- ed in this course, plus the care and proper use of it. 65 of Caesar's journeys changes of the map In days of old, Caesar changed the map, and now the map is changing again. All this caused and causes a furor in the social science depart- ment. In spite of these changes students still must be and are taught the essence of good English and good speaking. to use good EnglLs 66 to build sets to present plays “On set!” a cry rings out, and the young Thespians of DHS do their bit. The Expression department includes the training of pupils for plays, radio work, and build- ing scenery. The presentation of plays is a class project, and the results in most cases a group of fairly experienced and talented boys and girls. the problems of decoratior block printing The art of cutting lino- leum blocks and the painting of murals are but a few of the many projects in the art class- es. These classes make many of the pictures ap- pearing in the school paper and design a great deal of the annual in ad- dition to the development of fine talent. 68 to string along to harmonize In addition to the actual class work we learn to appre- ciate music, to develop a great deal of talent, and to develop a better understanding of music. 69 to test fabrics Due to better education, girls are slowly but surely probing into fields hereto- fore strictly reserved for men. Girls in Home Eco- nomics classes now test fabrics in addition to learn- ing to make dresses, etc., of them. Housewives will be able to tell their husbands just why the material is less ex- pensive or why it costs more. 70 To plan and then build is taught in Industrial Arts. In the future, boys will be able to draw fairly ac- curate plans of objects and make them from wood or metal, to cut them from lathes or mold them, to make the molds true, etc. In brief, to have a better use of their hands. the industrial arts to plan homes 71 Above i the 1939-40 Davenport basketball s iuad.

Winning the Missis- sippi Valley Conference Title, tying with Rock Is- land for the Quad-City race, and splitting with St. Ambrose for the City Championship are the out- come of four months of hard work by the Red and Blue hardwood artists. Led by flashy Dick Jensen for the first semester, and by Captain Jim Gadient for the remainder of the season, the team ended with a remarkable record of 16 won and 5 lost; annexed the Sectional Crown, by beating De Witt 50-19, but were unable to conquer a tournament jinx and were subdued by an unpredictable Dubu- que team 33-27, thereby being eliminated from the district race in the first round of play. Having such boys as Dick Kelling, Kenny Popp, Jerry Sieffert, Jack Spencer, and Bill Johnson as mainstays, the Blue Devils started the season by Above left in Paul Moon, varsity Blue Devil basketball roach, and on the right, Clem Bridge, sophomore tutor. swamping Iowa City 39-19. Next week they again hit the loop for a win over the Dubuque Rams 35-17. The Alumni, however, proved too much for the Moonmen when they were beaten 41-32. They regained the win column in the next two games beating East Moline 31-23, and Clinton 37-28. The game with Mo- line on December 30 proved to be one of the most exciting of the season with the Moline Maroons eking out a 38-37 win over the Dav- enport high team. The next seven games proved easy pick- ings for the Red and Blue when they succes- sively defeated Mooseheart 36-33; St. Am- brose, 30-25; Dubuque, 46-21; West Waterloo, 38-19; Rock Island, 41-20; Iowa City, 32-21 and East Moline 24-21. Sweet revenge was gained for the Blue Devils when Jerry Sieffert's free throw ended a hectic overtime battle with Moline, Daven- port on the long end of a 26-25 score. This great triumph undoubtedly took the life out of the Devils, because the next week they fell before the inspired Rock Island forces 35-20. The Clinton River Kings were beaten 31-21 in the second game of the season be- tween the two. The last two games of the scheduled season were tough on the Daven- port team, when they lost to St. Ambrose 24-16, and to East Waterloo 32-27. In the sectionals, Davenport subdued Clin- ton for the third time by the score of 34-22 to advance to the finals. There they swamped De Witt 50-19 and gained the right to pro- ceed to the district contest. Davenport was unable to conquer a third game jinx which the Dubuque Rams held over them, and consequently lost to the Rams by a 33-27 score, thus ending their fight for the coveted state title, and also bringing to a close the 1930-40 basketball season.

Winning the Mississippi Valley con- ference title and taking a two game series from St. Ambrose to clinch the city title are the major accomplish- ments of Coach Clem Bridge’s sopho- more team. Starting the season off with a bang, the sophs won the first two by deci- sive margins. They beat Iowa City 40-17, and Dubuque 24-15. The next game, however, found them against a rangy East Moline outfit who forced the Davenporters to absorb a 24-17 beating. Clinton was subdued 24-21, then the sophs ran up against a su- perior Moline team, who beat them 35-27. The sophomores won the next four games, beating St. Ambrose 22- 20, Dubuque 30-19, West Waterloo 24- 19. In the next game, the Little Hawks from Iowa City turned the tables on the Little Devils, and won by a 28-19 margin. Revenge was gained for a previous defeat, when the ponies beat East Moline 30-27 in the second game of the schedule. However, Moline again proved too strong for Coach Bridge’s boys and whipped them 37-17. The sophomores had smooth sailing the remainder of the season, and won the last four on the schedule, defeating Rock Island 26-19, Clinton 35-15, St. Ambrose 26- 19, and East Waterloo 25-19. The “grunt and groan” artists of Davenport high school established a favorable reputation for themselves when they won 13 out of 16 matches during the 1939-40 season. Led by co-captains Glen Orcutt and Rometo Macias, the grapplers won the Quadrangular meet, beating Dubuque, Rock Island and Clinton. In the district meet Bob Roamer won first place in the 145 pound divi- sion. Second places went to Macias and Orcutt in the 105 and 95 pound class- es respectively. Pilgrim took a third in the 135 pound class. In the state meet, all four of the above boys received third places in their various divisions. All in all, Coaches Orrie Johnson and Doug Atkins classify the season as very successful. Kontcto Marins mid Hob Newell mix it up in a practice match while the rest of the team looks on.

Apparatus, wrestling, basketball, handball, baseball, track, and volleyball are the sports offered. New basketball leagues form con- stantly; thus, there is always com- petition. Wrestling classes are held before and after school. Handball, volleyball, and baseball tourna- ments are played during the year. At the end of each fall semester, a triple test for determining each boy’s speed, strength, and jumping power is given. The high scorers are then added to Mr. Day’s track squad. Hoys and girls participate to- gether in many activities. The Gym Fest in November was primarily to promote interest in wrestling. Nearly 300 students, most of them brilliantly costumed, were in the sixth annual Gym Circus on April 5. The student committee in charge of arrangements consisted of: Lil- lian Baele, Hetty Maxwell, Hette Westphal, Hetty Fischer, Dick No- bis, Walter Swallow, and Ray Rice. The ringmaster was Bill Ede. The Gym club brings together students interested in acrobatic work. Co-ed parties every Friday after school feature dancing in the gym lobby and various sports on the gym floor. These are well at- tended. in K Jean Joan g.cat 1' Lillian Left to right: Leila Kasdall, Kllen .Mohr, Louise Fidyke, Helen Tippy, and Clenelyn Lawless. Left to right: Norma Colbert. Betty Wicks.

Roe Johnston and Carol Johnson were victors in the mixed double ping pong; tournament. Over 1000 girls take gym under Miss Deone Gibson and her new assistant, Miss Helen Gmelin. A wide variety of sports are offered: aerial darts, basketball, baseball, badminton, duck pin bowling, deck tennis, hockey, golf, tennis, mod- ern dancing, volleyball, ping pong, speedball, tumbling, shuffleboard and reducing. At the end of seasonal sport, there is Inter-Class competition. Basketball, golf, and badminton tournaments are held. 'Hie girls on the tennis squad may challenge each other in a ladder tournament to determine the ten top players. By selling 2000 red and blue bas- ketball pencils, the G. A. A. girls bought a rowing machine for the use of the whole department. With the money from the Gym Circus additional equipment and books for the growing sports library will be purchased. Besides Miss Gmelin, who teach- es dancing, Mrs. Fern Wren has been added to the staff.

Their primary purpose is to make the relation- ship between the teachers, administration, and student body more demo- cratic. They meet on the call of Mr. Naumann and discuss and suggest solutions with him in affairs concerning the welfare of the student body which they represent, (into such things as the campus conditions, study hall problems, etc.). Results are reported to their respective home rooms, and, in most cases new viewpoints and interesting discussions take place, furnishing more material for the next meeting. In other words, they act as a go between for the principal and student body. Within the council itself, committees are picked to act on the problems discussed. One such committee acts with the faculty committee in contact- ing talent for paid auditoriums. Others take action on campaigns to better the campus, etc. Members are picked by the homeroom teachers according to the leader- ship and ability. Organized a few years ago by the Daveni ort high school student coun- cil is a group including the cities, Muscatine, Clinton, Burlington and Keo- kuk, that meet each year to discuss various phases of student activity and problems arising in the schools. From these meetings a variety of views is assimilated and brought back to high school for application. Without a student council relationship between the school administra- tion and the student body, a misunderstanding arises. With the council, both sides are expressed. Following this student council are the students of the gym classes, in- cluding the boys not in R. 0. T. C. The Council represents these students. (;iKI.S' (iYM (Ith Period.

The mixed chorus, which includes about 120 students, meets twice a week. This is the largest vocal group. The boys’ quartet was dis- continued the second semes- ter. However, during the first semester, they were fairly ac- tive. Ray Dismer was first tenor, George Ondrusek sec- ond tenor, Everett Paget, baritone, and Dwayne Wig- gins, bass. They sang for the Women’s club October 9. Boys’ Quartet: Dwayne Wiggins. Everett Paget, George Ondrusek and Robert ShalTnit. Vocal MmAac With the coming of spring, the melodies which issue from Room 10 seem gayer and more live- ly. Here, Davenport’s future opera singers, as well as the ones who will sing for pleasure only, all strive for harmony under the direction of Mr. Kent Gannett. Bill Kroeger and Doris Gray accom- pany the groups. Mr. Kroeger plays for the first period A’Cappella chorus and Doris plays for the eighth period chorus. Both of these choruses have approximately 75 members. They sang at assemblies and the Christmas concert, as well as making public appearances. Mr. Gannett selected a third chorus from the two A’Cappella choruses. This picked group of outstanding singers from the two groups sang at the non-competitive music festival held at Dubuque on April 18 and 19. The participating schools were Davenport, East Waterloo, and Dubuque. The two numbers the special chorus sang at this time were: “Dark Water,” by James, and “Were You There,” by Burleigh. The money for transporting all the local participants to the music festival was earned by dances, skating parties, the Christmas concert, and by making private collections. This money was also used for transporting Davenport’s entries at the district, state, and national music contests. Besides directing all the vocal music groups, Mr. Gannett teaches a full year course in music appreciation. This course makes a study of the good music of all nations, including characteristic folk music. The lives and music of the great comjxjsers are also included.

Richard The band and orchestra, under the direc- tion of F. E. Mortiboy, had a busy year. In August, 91 members of the band trav- elled to Chicago, and participated in the Chicagoland Music Festival. They played the required number “Der Freischut” by W eber, and their chosen selection, “Procession of the Nobles” by Rimsky-Korsakov. When the annual convention of the Iowa State Teachers Association was held in Nov- ember at Des Moines, thirteen musicians of our band took part in a large band made up of selected students chosen from high schools in all parts of Iowa, to furnish entertainment for the convention and to try new music and acquaint teachers with it. Then there was the annual band concert in March, and the orchestra concert in April, with selections by such famous composers as Korsakov, Dukas, and Wagner; and including all types of music, from a South American rumba to the Williams C Minor Symphony. The local solo contest, the beginning of the national series, was held in the high school auditorium on February 23. Twenty-two con- testants who expected to enter the district contest held at Tipton had to appear in this contest. The state contests this year were divided into four sections, thereby breakin the tradition of only one state contest hel at Iowa City. Instead of the contest at low City, an Iowa City Invitational Festival wajS held and this pursued the sameddea as old contest. The state contest Tor this at was held at Fairfield. n The judges of the local contest this were Mr. 1 limey Voxman, wood-wind instr tor at the University of Iowa; Lois former string teacher in the Iowa Ci school; and Mr. William Gower, di instrumental music in the Iowa C school.

Davenport had 24 entries, solo and ensemble members of the band, in this contest. Several days before this contest, an ensemble recital and contest was held in the high school auditorium. Every ensemble appearing in any contest, including those eligible for the National by last year’s vic- tory, appeared on that program. On Easter Sunday morning, March 24, the band had the honor of performing for a large radio audience on a national hook-up program “Music and American Youth. ’ The Larghetto from William’s Symphony in C Minor and the Spanish Caprice by Rimsky-Korsakov was the program. Mr. Mortiboy and his musicians received post cards of congratula- tion from California to Vermont. The annual spring concert of our orchestra was held in early April in the auditorium. There were two soloists appearing on the program taken from the ranks of the orches- tra. Selections by Gounod, Haydn, Weber, Johnson, and Dasch were played. The big Dubuqueland Festival of Music held at Dubuque in April was attended by both the band and orchestra. The orchestra, leaving in the early morning of April 19, played for the criticism of the judges in the morning, and then took part in the huge mass orchestra concert in the evening. A party for all participants in the festival was held. The morning after, the band played for the judges’ criticism and in the evening played one individual number in the even- ing’s concert. So, you see, the band and orchestra had a very busy fall, winter, and spring. 101 B A S E B A L L 102 l� t row: Dyer. Mohr, Carney. Krell, Wanner, Anderson. Canti en� . Boettcher. Sitrick.

Prowess in pitching, hitting, and fielding were the chief components of the veteran 194(1 Davenport high school baseball team. Coach “Midge” Makeever’s cohorts proved their ability early in the season, when they routed Bennett twice 28-5 and 16-2. They then proceeded to beat St. Mary's of Iowa City 12-0, and Letts 4-0. Probably the best game of the early season was the one with Letts in which Bob Collins, pitching a full game for the first time, allowed only one hit. The Letts group was a tough bunch of customers to handle, and held the rampaging Blue Devils in check surprisingly well for the full seven innings. All throughout the season the hurlers were well supported by the good batting eyes of the Devils. “Rusty” Rathjen, Russ Gallagher and Bob Collins all pitched great ball for the duration of the schedule. Captain “Mike” Boettcher, “Swede” Hatfield, Ora Veach, “Vic” Rodenburg, Lyle Ebner, Warren Porter, Kenny Wagner and Eddie Frances were the mainstays of the team. All did splendid hitting and in general provided the winning punch in a great 1940 baseball season for Davenport high school.

In the spring, at Davenport high school, all thoughts seem to focus on the renewal of out- loor sports. Every afternoon the athletic-minded take a trip to the Brady street field for the � urpose of sharpening their ability in the duo sports of field, baseball and track. The track enthusiasts of Davenport, during the 1940 season, will be remembered as a truly rreat group of boys. Led by Co-captains Ron Baker and Bill Garrett, the cinder artists garnered a great mass of laurels. With strength untested in a meet, the Blue Devils took the Mississippi Valley Indoor Crown, by a decisive margin. They then pro- ceeded to conquer Clinton and Rock Island in dual meets. Probably the most notable achievement of the season was the winning of the State Indoor Track Crown. Captain Bill Garrett was the leading scorer of the meet. Cracking the 880 yard indoor relay record was the noteworthy accomplishment of “Ding” Schricker, Junior Franck, Ron Baker, and Bill Garrett. At the Davenport Relays, the Blue again took top honors by a very safe margin. Encountering hard luck early in the season kept “Bullet Bill” Mueller out of the roster a large part of the season. The field division was largely taken care of by Bob Lemm, Don Schneckloth, Bill Nichols, and “Aug.” Mueller. “Bud” Braunlich did a major part of the pole-vault- ing, and Mucha was the shining light in the high- Iowa City Clinton Davenport Iowa City Davenport Des Moines Clinton Determined by State Hoard Cedar Kapids Ames Davenport jump.

The first match of the season resulted in a 1-4 tie with St. Ambrose. On April 23, the Blue Devils conquered Rock Island 10-1 and Clinton 6-5. They then proceeded to conquer East Moline 7-3. Notably missed during the second semester was first semester captain, Lee Barnard. However, the season undoubtedly can be classified as a very brilliant one. Paced by such veterans as Bill Johnson, Bert Lee, Duwayne Beck- man, Stan Schmidt, Jim Gadient, and Jim Terry, Coach Forrest Sissel’s net stars placed themselves in the Daven- port high school hall of fame when they racked up a great season for 1940. They started the season by winning from Hast Moline 3-2. The Blue Devil tennis aggregation next succeeded in decisively whipping a Kock Island team 7-1 and then beat Moline 5-1 to take the lead in the quad-city tennis race. Coach Sissel should be compliment- ed for his great efforts in turning out a top-notch Blue Devil tennis team.

On the program were various feats of skill such as roller-skating, tra- peze, cycle, parallel bars, and tum- bling acts. Novelty dances by Dutch- ies, Irish dancers, clowns, and a trained dog act completed the show. Afterwards there was social dancing. Coaches and trainers for this “Big- top” performance were Miss Deone Gibson, Miss Helen Gmelin, and Mr. O. E. Johnson. Each year a Boys State election is held. These junior politics are held with the purpose of training boys and girls from sixteen to twenty to be better citizens of America. After city and county elections have been held, delegates are sent from various towns and counties to Camp Dodge at Des Moines for a week. Here the Boys State Governor and officials are se- lected and take oaths of office. Civics teachers and history teachers, with the help of some other interested Davenporters, sponsored and super- vised the elections. A murder mystery, guaranteed to make your teeth chatter and your flesh crawl, was committed on the stage of our school April 26. “A Murder Has Been Arranged,” the all- expression class play for this year, was directed by Mr. Don Tornquist. “What a Life,” June seniors’ class play, was presented Friday, May 31 to a capacity audience, climaxing a successful year for the dramatic department.

It was in the year 1440 in Mainz, Germany that Johannes Gutenberg conceived the idea of movable types and an industry was born that shaped the destinies of nations. Printing brought enlightenment to the world, education to the masses, and through advertising built our marvelous American Business structure, made possible the mass production and low priced comforts, which raised the American standard of living to the highest in the world. It is fitting then that we should pause a moment in the enjoy- ment of these comforts to commemorate this 500th Anni- versary of the industry that made them possible.

HEAVY DUTY WHEEL FOR INDUSTRY tc, IF SO, you will be interested in the many practical advan- % tages gained by mounting wheelbarrows on French Hecht pneumatic rubber tired wheels. Heavier loads are handled with better balance, faster travel and lessened fatigue. The tires absorb the usual arm and shoulder shocks: eliminate the need for planking over rough ground, turf, soft ground or slopes. Thousands of these wheels are going into service in industry and around the home each month. They are in demand because they pay their own way in savings made. A Convenience Around the Home You'll find plenty of use in your garden work and for miscellaneous chores about the home for a wheelbarrow mounted on a French Hecht Yard and Garden Wheel. Convert your present barrow or order a new barrow with one of these time and effort saving wheels. You'll soon agree the small investment required delivers a lot of real satisfaction.
