IJJJJiniilJIU Administration Faculty Student Council Intramurals Before School Activities tFORE SCHOOL With ducGstia+i a fyosie Utbucjlit With the thought of the students always foremost in mind, the school board, composed of nine prominent pro- fessional people of Davenport, together with Superintendent I. H. Schmitt, decides on new measures which will aid the public school student from kindergarten to the high school senior. One of the recent tasks performed by this board was the condemning and tearing down of some of the old schools throughout the city. In their stead are now found the new- est, most modern schools in this vicinity. These new ele- mentary schools, which have been equipped with the latest in educational devices, will serve to make our younger gen- eration grow up into better citizens. All requisitions, which the teachers of the schools throughout the city turn in for new equipment and supplies, are sent to the board who decides whether the equipment is necessary. At their meetings, various matters are brought up which the originators think will aid, not only the students in school but the citizens of Davenport. The school board works with the principals of the various schools, who suggest matters which they believe will aid their school. Above. Irvin II. Schmitt. Super- intendent of Schools.

WO liam M. Brandon, Harry Hetty “Crowded unto the rafters.” This is our office. Not so much a place of punishment but one of lelp and advice. For instance, toward the end of a semester, Mr. Naumann is besieged by queries of ‘May I take this? What about taking this subject? May 1 take five subjects?” Each question is given due consideration by the principal. After working for weeks on schedules for the coming year, the office force is entitled to a rest, but none is forth- coming. When these schedules are issued to the student body, the office is filled with students again. Cries of “I don’t want this teacher for “I asked for [someone else for this subject” and last, but not least, ‘Can’t you change my schedule?” Any communication to students during school hours must be made through the office. Absences are checked by the office force, and, in general, it is a well-liked place although one word bothers the student body—“Detention!” Above: Mr. A. I. Xaumann. principal. Left: Mr .

Soehren and Mr. Paul A. Young. Through their help, many graduates have been placed as steno- graphers, secretaries, clerks, and also, in many other positions. Miss Soehren, besides giving advice to the “co-eds” about what to do after graduation and helping grad- uates to find work, is in charge of all student clubs and arranges all their meetings so that they do not conflict. Mr. Young also has duties other than just being a student counsellor. He is in charge of the R. O. T. C. Service club. Another innovation, which he has start- ed, has been the student vocation clubs, which have prominent lawyers, doctors, and other professional men as their guest speakers. Some of these demonstrate their work in that particular club. Another of the faculty members is Mr. Leslie C. Goss. Mr. Goss is in charge of the I). H. S. extra-curri- cular activities, which include radio programs given by the students, athletics, and other programs. Another of his duties seems to be the identifying of students at games away from home. in the position of health maintainer at the high school is Miss Wilna Nash, R. N., the school nurse. It is her duty to see if “colds” are on the up-and-up, and take care of the fellows and girls in general during the school hours. Dr. Carl H. Matthey is the director of the medical department and the health welfare of the high school and all of the public schools. Above: Mis� I.eonn L. Soehren, Girls Adviser. • Center: Leslie C. Goss.

We have a variety of courses available. We may learn the correct use of our language through English and Business English. Through this latter subject we learn the proper way of carrying on a business correspondence. One year of the study of English itself is required for graduation. Another of our courses offered is American Literature. In this subject, studies are made of famous American authors. The roster of writers includes Captain John Smith of Colonial days to Carl Sandburg of today. English Literature provides a study of the great English epics. One of the better known of these masterpieces is “Beo- wulf.” Because of the'importance of literature in a liberal education, either one year of American or English liter- ature is also required for graduation. Recently added to the English curriculum has been Recent Literature. In this entirely elective subject, we may learn about the contemporary authors, poets and playwrights. Another new course is Creative Writing. Anyone interested in becoming an author, play- wright or poet will find the information con- tained in this subject quite vital to his or her career. Journalism is also available to the student interested in newspaper or magazine writing. Laboratory work in this course is the composi- tion of the “Blackhawk.” “X” and “A” are not always math- ematical terms. In I). H. S., they are the study halls with Mr. Atkins in charge. These rooms, with a seating capa- city of 460 in X and 388 in A, serve as before-school gathering places for many students. Room X is frequent- ed, during the fourth and fifth per- iods, by those who, finishing eating early, decide to study or just to talk.

Besides the usual courses in cooking and sewing, the coeds may study dietetics and home management. On the teaching staff, Miss Inez Whitney is the supervisor of home economics in all the public schools. She also teaches home management and sociology. Did you know lessons on “how to forge” are given in high school? It’s a fact. Also, in the same line are classes in mechanical drawing, pattern making, wood turning, printing and foundry work. Actual practice is had in the printing department, as the school news- paper, the Blackhawk, is printed by the students. This has been done for the last four years. Dictatorships, communism, socialism, or words to that effect are being flung around the rooms in which social studies are taught. Both American and European history, economics, sociology, and civics are taught in order to acquaint us with the background of our country and to give us a better understanding of how we happen to have the privileges we enjoy today. Because of the importance of this information, the two subjects, American history and civics, are compulsory. • • • Future “atom busters” can get a firm foundation for their future from the courses available in our high school. Of course, this applies to any other scientific-minded student also. The “ologies” are in evidence, as seen by zoology, biology, and physi- ology. Displayed in room 51 is a model of the human body with detach- able parts. SEEKERS OF SOCIAL SOLUTIONS... Seated left to right: Mi� l.ucillr Bur- innek. N. II. Kingttrom, Martin W. Schultz.

Available to the student who intends to make business life his future are the courses in typing, shorthand, bookkeeping, office machine training and commercial law. Of course, these subjects do not give a complete education for a big business man but they are the foundation. But these courses have proven, time and time again, sufficient for an erstwhile steno- grapher to receive an office position. • • • All the world may be a stage, but we just use the auditorium for our actions. Both departments of speech, public speaking and expression, utilize the “boards” but in different capacities. The public speaking department specializes in debates and declamations, while expression students work on plays. The “pub” department won high honors in both their fields and the actors and actresses were well-acclaimed, although there were no contests for them to enter. “Our Town” was the featured play given by the dramatic department this year.

Comment allez-vous?” To save our five language teachers from having to translate further, we shall continue in English. Any further engineers, or any other scientific-minded students will find German a decided asset. Doctors, lawyers, pharmacists and others interested in professional careers, have found Latin vital. It also provides an excellent foundation for the other languages. French and Spanish will prove useful in general life as well as for those students with the wanderlust. • • • What is the value of X? The solution of this perennial problem is divulged in many forms. You may seek it in algebra, plane or solid geometry, trigonometry, business arithmetic or higher arithmetic. This training in mathematics is important, in fact, vital, to would-be engineers, architects and others who are interested in technical vocations. So you see, although the search goes on throughout the years, the most universally unknown and sought-after subject is not “Yehudi” but that little symbol X.

The units’ ability is tested each May by a rigorous federal inspection. There is a court in each company which tries and punishes all offenders. Also connected with the unit is the Rifle team, Drum and Bugle corps and the Service club. • • • MUSICAL MASTERS 20 Topped off by an operetta, a minstrel show and a festival held here in Davenport, the music department of Davenport high school has made itself prominent by its colorful activity. The two divisions of the music department, instrumental and vocal, took part in music festivals, and competed in contests in which both won high rat- ings. Led to right: K. Kent Gannett. B. G.

A great variety of sports is offered, including basketball, boxing, tennis, etc. When one of these subjects is made com- pulsory, each boy must pass an examination to prove his skill, and this must be done to receive a grade. The girls are also offered a choice of various sports such as tumbling, basketball, and modern dancing. MOULDERS OF MIGHTY MUSCLES . . . Scaled, left to right: Dconc Hh� on. O. K. Johnson.

THE STUDENT COUNCIL “Meeting please come to order! Will the secretary read the minutes of the last meet- ing?” Such wording strikes a familiar ring in the ears of those students chosen to repre- sent the student body of Davenport high school on the Student Council. This council acts as an advisory group and assists Mr. Naumann in student problems and their solution. It has as its purpose, making the relationship among the teachers, administra- tion, and student body more democratic. When erring students “err” too much, or a group of the “kids” cut-up on the campus in excess, and Mr. Naumann feels that there is a problem, he calls a meeting of the Coun- cil. When these students, who represent I). II. S.’s approximately 2200 eflollimpt, meet, they discuss the problem witJJiinj|Rnd suggestasolution.

The results of the discussions are reported to the respec- tive home rooms where they are again dis- cussed. In other words the council acts as a go-between for the student body and Mr. Naumann. During the winter many of the “auds” were sponsored by these student-elected representatives and in the spring semester there was a conference held at D. H. S. con- sisting of representatives from Muscatine, Keokuk, Burlington, Clinton, Rock Island, East Moline and Moline.

Away from the glamor and glory of varsity basketball, football and baseball lies that group of activities classed as “intramural sports.” They furnish the fun for the fellows and girls willing to devote extra time to the pursuance of sports of a lighter nature. However, wrestling, morning basket- ball. fencing and apparatus are included in the boys’ program, which is under the direction of Mr. O. E. “Johnny” John- son, boys’ gym instructor. Also on his schedule are badminton, handball, vol- leyball and baseball. Primarily for acrobatically inclined males, the Gym club was tried experi- mentally by the girls during the spring. Many other activities are also handled by both boys and girls. The April 3-4 INTF Gym Circus featured about 600 students, most of them brilliantly cos- tumed. Highlight of the November gym program was the Gym Fest, de- signed primarily to en- courage wrestling. Co-ed parties on Tuesday and Friday are always well attended. Health lectures were introduced to both boys’ and girls’ gym classes. Mr. Johnson gave talks and conducted informal discussions during the periods set aside for the boys’ health talks. Under the direction of Miss Gibson, girls’ gym teacher, a sizeable sports library has been compiled for the 1100 girls under her supervision. Part of the girls’ proceeds from the annual Gym circus is used to further this collection which is one of the most complete li- braries of its type in this area. 24 Above arc pictured some mem- ber of the «word dancing group.

BEFORE ' OF Nlh Since each of you can’t be nine or ten places at once (it isn’t done), the Black- hawk has compiled a sort of album of pictures to let you know what goes on before your learned preceptors call their classes to order. A characteristic scene is that “airplane” shot look- ing down to the corridor. Some are just arriving, some wandering indolently through the halls; others are perfectly content to just stand and talk. While the less studious roam the halls, many prefer the peace (?) of their home rooms, where they can com- plete their day's work. The girls seem to have their “noses to the grindstone,” intent upon getting some- thing done. Miss West, left, English instructor and Miss Buria- nek, history instructor, ar- rive at school with contem- plative looks on their faces. Hope it isn’t a test they’re pondering over! The student body really does love dear old D. H. S., IE STROKE it seems. Notice the way all those in the lower pic- ture are running toward school. It couldn’t be cold out? In preparation for the noon day rush of hunger- stricken students, the kitch- en crew is busy early in the morning, and as you whis- per that secret to your pal, one of Mrs. Diver’s helpers has peeled another potato. “Harry” starts his day off with a sweep over the halls. Look at that smile! He must be enjoying him- self. Don’t think the students don’t realize the importance of report cards. The boy at the forge, Melvin Miller, and the two painters have arrived at school early to do some extra credit work. Every little bit counts, you know. Maybe they’re making up “U’s” but probably those girls in gym suits came to school before time to let off a little excess energy ac- cumulated over night. sc Publications Classes Public Speaking Instrumental Music Vocal Music R.

THE Hlackhawk Wins High Honors With the winning of the highest possible award given by Quill and Scroll, the Inter- national Honor Award, the Blackhawk newspaper staff closed another successful year of service. This award is given only to papers of super- ior achievements. Missing the All-American award of the National Scho- lastic Press Association by only five points, the staff had to be satisfied with an excel- lent rating from that organi- zation. Compensation for this fact was found in that all three judges commented on the superiority of the news- paper as a whole. The Iowa High School Press Association presented their award of “excellent to the paper upon three consecutive issues which were sent them.

BLACKHAWK Quill and Scroll Initiates Members The Frank Luther Mott chapter of Quill and Scroll, international honor society for high school journalists, held its formal initiation of spring candidates at the an- nual Publications banquet on June 7. The induction of the fall semester candidates had been held earlier in the year at the home of Mr. Clarence Hach, journalism adviser. This organization has been in existence only a little over a year, and has a total of twenty-nine members. To be eligible for membership in Quill and Scroll, a candidate must be in the upper third of his class in general scholastic ability, have done outstanding work in the field of journa- lism, be recommended by the journalism adviser, and be approved by the National Secretary. Pub” Banquet Closes Activity The second annual Publica- tions’ banquet, at which reign the stafTs of both the Black- hawk newspaper and year- book, was held at the Outing club on June 7 at six-thirty o’clock. The speaker of the evening was Mr. Harlan Mil- ler of the Des Moines Reg- ister and Tribune, noted for his column “Over the Coffee.” Mr. Miller was for a time Washington correspondent for his paper, and spoke on “Col- umns and Washington Cor- respondence.” Decorations were carried out in the jour- nalistic theme. Preceding the banquet, at five o’clock to be exact, the formal initiation of candidates for membership into Quill and Scroll took place with a can- dle-light ceremony, officiated over by active members of the organization.

Oh, well, roll up the sleeves, stiff upper lip and all that sort of thing. Thus sympathizing with each other, and bewailing the fact that there is too much work, the 1911 Annual staff gets under way on its yearly struggle to publish a yearbook and at the same time try to please the facul- ty and student body. After picking the theme as being “TIME, and deciding how the book was to be divided, the next job was to get the staff “in step with old “pappy Time and really get the work under way. Well, after the editors had finally whipped the number of pages together and where they were to be placed in the lx ok, (like four pages for R. 0. T. C., etc.), there came that little incident toward the end of the football season. Some called it Home- coming, others called it a miniature revolu- tion. The editors called it a headache. Be- cause it was so successful, it was felt that more pages should be devoted to it. So-o-o some more overtime was spent and a few more lines of worry appeared. Then came—no, not the dawn, but Spring! Ah, Spring! The little birds in the trees, grass on the ground, everyone in the out-of-doors enjoying life—except the an- nual staff. By this time, “Time had changed and that “New Year kid really “swung out with that scythe cutting off the days and weeks. The “dummy or rough draft of the book took shape under the competent hands of the Art Editor and his staff, pictures were finished up, and copy proof-read. Here are the steps to making a year- book: First the theme is picked, then a dummy which contains every page of the proposed book is made. This dummy has what is to 'JUAL Above, 'ruled left to right.

Then this is sent to the Art Editor who assigns differ- ent parts to his particular staff who “make-up” or design the pages. Next the pictures are taken and are placed. After this it is returned to the editor who assigns copy to the vari- ous other editors. About this time a delegation is sent to the National Scholas- tic Press Association conven- tion, held this year in Cleve- land, to get helps and hints on yearbooks. All is again checked the last part of April, and is sent to the printer. This process takes a com- plete year—from September to June. The results?

TIME ON ANC Explaining word derivations to future linguists is a full time job for our language teachers. In this picture, Miss Meyer is explaining some interesting side- lights to her Spanish progeny. Decorating the wall of the Span- ish room are pictures, pottery and clothing from Spain and Old Mexico. Studying the small figurines in Miss Wicks’ room is one of her English classes. The guillo- tines and wigged figures are to represent episodes and scenes from the “Tale of Two Cities.” Also taught in this room, 35, is literature and expression. Lin- ing the top of the blackboard can be found book jackets which the English class made as a pro- ject. Changes in the map of Europe have been so numerous that we find David McFerren explaining the lay of the land. This social science class is studying history. MARCHES WE...... Often a student may have a teacher assign him work which requires special reference. To serve just such a student the high school offers its library. Although the library is almost entirely devoted to reference material, it owns many books to be read solely for enjoyment. This spring a new library plan was inaugurated which has been put to use effectively. To study room “A” with its 500 seats come over 1000 stu- dents each day. They bring with them their mathematics, their English, their shorthand, etc. For the study hall is a room for students to prepare their lessons. In the last year honor studies have proven themselves ideal. Mr. Young proposed the idea with the feeling that this type of hall would be more democratic and incite the students to self- discipline. . TRY ANGLES Before you can prove that two sides of an isosceles triangle are equal, you must have a figure with which to work. In this picture, Ann Bates is constructing the tri- angle on the blackboard while Donald Bein and Marilyn Iloersch draw theirs on pa- per, preparing to prove the theorem. Ge- ometry is, however, not the only subject in the mathematics department; some of the other courses are business arithmetic, algebra, higher mathematics and “trig.” . . RATIFY THE LAW OF GRAVITY Heat of vaporization has many practi- cal uses outside the Physics laboratory, but pictured here in the Physics “lab” are Henry Meyers, Warren Lee and Paul Eat- on, busy experimenting to find the heat of vaporization. Pictured from left to right are: Henry reading the thermometer on the steam generator; Warren at the beam scales weighing the water for the experi- ment; and Paul recording the readings on the data sheet. . . TRAIN IN PEDAGOGY Teaching would-be teachers is the main activity of Miss Wallace, head of the nor- mal department. Psychology, normal ge- ography, methods and other preparatory courses are the subjects taught to the future pedagogues. In this picture, Roberta Mohr is ex- plaining some interesting items about Col- orado to the normal geography class. Seated at the desk is Miss Wallace, who is intently watching the explanation of one of her hopeful progeny. Decorating the top of the blackboard is a sign which adequately describes the curriculum taught. 36 . . DISCUSS OUR DOMICILES Choice of lot and house con- struction is the central theme of the Home Management depart- ment, but part of the work is centered around household fur- nishings. Shown studying a small house model are, left to right, Ruth Jones, Vera Higley, June Stansberry, Irene Leyerly and Rosella Sothmann. Receiving an excellent chance to demonstrate their ability, students of Miss Haller’s cook- ing class entertained their moth- ers at a Christmas party, given in the “Home Ec.” building. In addition to planning the lunch- eon, which was served reception style, the girls festooned the room and decorated the table. Doing their part to make the party a success are, left to right, Betty Smith, Mary James, Glo- ria Jebens and Marie Baugh. 37 A regular zoo is room 53 with alligators, birds and foxes too. Below we find James Philbrook with notebook in hand jotting notes on the life in the aquarium which includes turtles, alliga- tors, frogs, clams, as well as crayfish. Robert Zesiger and Phyllis Sierk seem very inter- ested in the fish pond above the aquarium which contains gold- fish as well as other fish. This spring it was enlivened by baby ducks. Keith Burda and Stan Kolberg are very intent on their handmade notebooks. . . STUDY BUSINESS “Perfect practice makes perfect.” This principle is illustrated in the two scenes of the commercial department. Pictured as they pound on the typewriters are from left to right, Marguerite Adkins, Virginia Lee Cross, Nelda Stender and Stanley Hill. Prac- tical bookkeeping is exemplified by the fol- lowing students as they become better ac- quainted with just how an office works. First row, right to left, Viola Lindsay and Lois Eutsler. Second row, right to left, Marilynn Moore, Herbert Beitel and Bob Hamman. In addition to bookkeeping and typing, eight fundamentals of the business world are included in the commercial department. These are business arithmetic, shorthand, office machine training, industrial geogra- phy, commercial law, salesmanship, account- ing and secretarial bookkeeping. 38 Whether it’s a charcoal drawing or a silver ring you want to make, the art depart- ment has a class for it. At the right Miss Doennecke is helping Maxine Fliehler with her design for a decorated tray while Robert Williams thoughtfully contemplates the work done on his. Shown at the lower light are students of Miss Hall’s class designing posters for the operetta, “Pirates of Pen- zance,” which was presented by the vocal department. Mysteries of all life rapidly unravel. Ronnalee Hunt is seen below dissecting a cray- fish. Your stomach may be turning, but Ronnalee seems to enjoy it. Harlan Levich is studying the wonders of the hidden world through the mi- croscope. IMPROVE ON THESPEUS Although it appears Warren Burmeister, pictured above on the practice stage, is “just glow- ing” with his own personality, he is, in reality, quoting lines from a humorous play. Seated at his right is Everett Paget, who, along with Warren, won individual honor ratings for their outstanding performances in “Jacob Comes Home.” This one act play represented Daven- port high school at the annual play festival in Iowa City and brought home the top ranking of “Superior.” Spaniards, Hindus, Chinese, witches!! What’ll you have? The picture at right shows an advanced group of drama stu- dents experimenting with vari- ous types of make-ups. . . MAKE NEW FACES 40 . . SHALL HAVE MUSIC At the head of the class is Mr. Gannett, directing one of his choruses. The vocal group this year has introduced a new sys- tem. There is an a’cappella chorus, an advanced group, a beginners’ chorus and one class which helps singers to become better soloists. Topping off the year for the vocal department have been two major performances. In the fall semester an operetta, “The Pi- rates of Penzance ’ and in the spring a music festival with the instrumental department. “Music hath charms to soothe the savage beast” is a frequent- ly quoted expression. Proving this is shown a portion of the high school band during one of its daily practice sessions. The band is considered one of the best in the state and has won many contests. 41 . . PREPARE FOR INDUSTRY Bare chested boys work hard in the foundry of I). II. S.’s In- dustrial Arts building, the only high school foundry within an area including eleven surround- ing states. Bill Heuer, Noram Davis, Al- fred Aegerter, Bob Norton and Harold Gile are the rugged ap- pearing young men who typify a class of practical youth seek- ing practical education. Removing the small anvil pat- tern from the carefully packed mold are two boys to whom the fundamentals and technicalities of actual labor are being re- vealed. Mr. Gesell, surrounded by an anxious group of ready listeners, issues instructions that save many injuries and maintain a high standard of careful work done through trained efficiency. The necessary technique that comes with repeated trials and errors must be mastered. If the mold is good, an aluminum cast- ing of fine quality will be pro- duced and the owner made hap- py. . .

''%rV: sss -v s“ Victory and success are the two words that characterize the public speaking department for the 1940 and 1941 school year. Records were again shattered, while experience and better speaking ability were the rewards of each and every student of the department. The contest year started off November 16th with the Girls’ Declamatory Tournament at Davenport. Over 125 girls from eleven schools took part in this event. Bevery Lieberstein came out on top in the oratorical division, and Virginia Thomasson emerged as second place winner in humorous declamation, while Mary Watson was third in oratory. We had eighteen girls entered in the event. During the week of November 20th to 27th the local declamatory contests were held. Each student in the department participated in one or more divisions. Here representatives for future contests were determined. Davenport was the scene of the preliminary state declamatory contest December 4, 1940. It was a great day for D. H. S.! Bevery Lieber- stein, Leo Ziffren, and Virginia Thomasson all came in for first place. Beverly took part in the humorous division, Leo in the oratorical group, and Virginia in the dramatic division. The Boys’ Iowa Nine event was held this year at Iowa City for the declamatory events. Don Rivkin copped first place in oratory, while second place ratings went to Bud Vieth in dra- matic and Duane Paulsen in humorous. December 19th was another happy day for the pub department. Again Beverly Lieberstein, Leo Ziffren, and Virginia Thomasson received first place, only this time they were one more notch up the ladder. It was the sub-district declamatory event. A total of 135 debates were held during the months of December and January. The ques- tion for debate was: “Resolved, that the power of the federal government should be increased.” From these preliminary debates the team was chosen. Mr. Keiber picked Warren Beenck, Beverley Ray, Barbara Chartier, Seymore Ra- ben, Dave McFerren, Leo Ziffren and Beverly Lieberstein to do the affirmative speaking. He decided on William Rada, Rosemary Malloy, Don 44 SILVER TONGUED ORATORS Rivkin, Virginia Thomasson, Hal Kuehl, Bud Vieth, and Louise Hilfman as his negative speak- ers. Louise Hilfman and Beverly Lieberstein led the teams. At the Galesburg Debate Tournament we were represent- ed by Leo Ziffren, Seymore Ra- ben, and Beverly Lieberstein, on the affirmative, with Bud Vieth and Louise Hilfman doing the job on the negative. It was the first debate series of the season. January 11th we tackled two contests in one day. At the Girls’ Debate Tournament at Musca- tine, our girl teams composed of Beverly Lieberstein, Barbara Chartier, and Beverley Ray on the affirmative, and Virginia Thomasson, Rosemary Malloy, and Louise Hilfman on the nega- tive, clinched first place. The boys were busy out at Waterloo. The B team made up of William Rada, Don Rivkin, Warren Beenck, and Seymore Raben took another first place. The A team of Hal Kuehl, Bud Vieth. Dave McFerren, and Leo Ziffren came home with third place. Oskaloosa was host for the Iowa Nine Debate Tournament this year. Those making the trip for Davenport were: Bar- bara Chartier, Seymore Raben, Beverly Lieberstein, Bud Vieth, Hal Kuehl, and Louise Hilfman. Davenport emerged second place winner. Top.

It was a lucky day for Beverly Lieberstein and Virginia Thomasson, but Leo Ziffren received second place. The result was that state competition was over for him. Davenport played an important part in the Boys’ Declamatory Contest held here the 25th of Jan- uary. Davenport entered 18 fellows in the event. Six of them managed to make the finals! In the oratorical division Don Rivkin took second place and Bill Puls took third. In the humorous group Dave McFerren took first and Duane Paulsen second. The dramatic group saw Wayne Rostenbach win third place and Bud Vieth fourth. At the district state event at Centerville, Iowa, Virginia Thomasson won another first. Beverly Lieberstein was eliminated with a second. A two day session of debating was held at Augustana College January 31 and February 1. There were thirty schools present from both Iowa and Illinois. All of Davenport’s fourteen debaters took part in the series. Davenport took one debate after another, but then on the last round, there was a 46 defeat! It meant that we were given the second place trophy. Davenport has taken the second place trophy two years in a row now. Still quite an honor. The Girls’ Iowa Nine Declamatory Contest was held February 3rd at our home grounds. Mary Watson won first in oratory, Beverley Ray first in dramatic, and Dorothy Keller third in the humorous division. Another highlight of the year was the debate tournament held at Coe College during a three day session in the first part of February. Twenty schools took part. Leo ZifTren, Beverly Lieber- stein. Bud Vieth and Louise Hilfman showed them Davenport’s “smoke” and really came out on top. We took first place in the event. All of our speakers received superior ratings! Louise Hilfman was judged the outstanding woman de- bater over the entire group of speakers. At the same time Mr. Keiber and his only remaining contestant in state competition were “trecking down” to Corning, Iowa, clear across the state. Here Virginia Thomasson won first place with her selection, “When the Sun Rises.” It meant that she had gained the right to attend the national contest! March 22nd the second squad debate tourna- ment was run ofF at Davenport. The members of the affirmative were Duane Paulsen, Lester ZifF- ren, Albert Petersen, Stanley Dill, Bonnie Nighs- wander and Mildred Rohwedder. The negative was made up of Wayne Rostenbach, Victor Sayer, Marian Wuestenfeld, Margery Solady, Richard Paulos and Mary Watson. We took a second. At the state finals at Iowa City March 26-29, our debate team took sixth place, Don Rivkin took first in oratory, and David McFerren took second in radio speaking. This entitled Rivkin to go to the national event. The next journey taken by the department was to Fairfield, Iowa. Here was held the N. F. L. district event. The debate team was not quite able to win first, but did the next best and took second. Don Rivkin won first place in oratorical declamation. Beverley Ray took first place in dramatic declamation and Virginia Thomasson captured first place in humorous declamation. The result was that Davenport brought back a shining plaque. Iowa Nine Extemporaneous Speaking and Original Oratory contests were held at Ottumwa this year. Louise Hilfman took first in extemp and Bud Vieth second. Leo Ziffren brought back a second in oratory. The last local contest of the season was the extemp and original oratory events in which six schools took part. Second place went to Daven- port. Again we had a large representation going to the national event. This year our students went to the land of the “Kentucky Colonels,” Lexing- ton, Kentucky. Seymore Raben made the trip as representative to the student congress. Beverly Lieberstein went as senator to the congress, Bev- erley Ray made the journey to give her dramatic declamation, Virginia Thomasson represented us in humorous and dramatic declamation, while Don Rivkin and Leo ZifTren took part in the oratory events.

BAND Woodwind Trio: F.lna Thor en, Dorothy Keller, Ardi� Jones. Playing host to 1,500 musicians from ten different cities constituted the major activity of the year 1941 for the band department. This huge festival was staged on April 25 and 26 requiring the use of the high school auditorium, gymnasium, and the Masonic Temple auditorium. On Friday evening short concerts were given by the bands of Dubuque, Bur- lington, Waterloo, and Davenport, after which the combined musicians of these three schools were divided into the “Red” and “Blue” bands, each giving concerts under the direc- tion of Glen Cliff Bainum, of North- western University. After these per- formances, a party was given for all participants in the high school gym. The big money-raising idea this year was to stage a colorful minstrel show in which appeared many mem- bers of the faculty as well as band and orchestra members. The show went over with a ‘bang’ and the audi- torium was packed for two successive nights, making a profit for the band well into the four figures. The band appeared at every home football game of the season, and also made a special trip to Clinton to ap- pear at their Homecoming game. “Illack and white and admired by everyone” could well describe the new uniforms acquired by the orches- tra this past year. The boys look very ‘swanky’ in white mess jackets while the girls look very formal with white blouses and black floor length skirts. It was the first time in the history of the school that the orchestra has been uniformly outfitted. The new ensembles were worn for the first time at the spring concert given March 26. The orchestra shared honors with the band in a huge festival given April 25 and 26. Musicians from many cities attended this festival and the orchestra played a prominent part in the program. Saturday eve- ning the massed choruses, accom- panied by the orchestra, and directed by Mr. Herman Genhart, of the Kast- man School of Music, presented a stir- ring rendition of “The Heavens Are Telling” by Haydn, which virtually “brought down the roof” so thunder- ous was the applause. The orchestra attended the Iowa City High School music festival held May 1, 2, and 3 and had its audition before Karl Krueger, conductor of the Kansas City Philharmonic or- chestra, on Friday afternoon, May 2.

Today, with all the troubles of this mad world, the most soothing thing to a man’s mind is music. To make music mean more than just an interpretation of the composer’s thoughts, words have been added. When sung properly these lyrics not only interpret the thoughts but tell a story of devotion, of disappointment or of religious fervor. In charge of the vocal music department at Davenport high is Mr. Kent Gannett. He teaches all music classes, which do not deal with instrumental instruction. In his classroom, he numbers a special chorus, an a’cappella class, advanced chorus group, be- ginning chorus, soloist class and a session in music appreciation. These classes in vocal instruction are taught the music of the great masters. The works of Rimsky-Korsakov, 50 Jan Sibelious and Palestrina are among the repertoire of these classes. In the fall semester of 1940, the chorus students competed for parts in a Gilbert and Sul- livan operetta, “The Pirates of Penzance.” This operetta was put on under the direc- tion of Mr. Gannett and Mr. Hopkins, expression teacher. Leading roles were taken by Frances Cassling, Bernice Fries, Francis Hauer, Dwavne Wiggins, Everett Paget, Mar- vin Bashaw and Warren Bou- dinot. Members of the cast who had competed for parts made up the chorus. As usual, there were solo contests held throughout the year, and, to repeat, as usual, high honors were taken by the vocal department. The class for soloists, which Mr. Gannett started in the fall, has proved a great boon to the students who wish to enter contests. They learn better enunciation, better posture and good personality for the contests. Another thing in which the Davenport vocal department took part was the I). H. S. (continued) Top.

Participating in this was a chorus of sixteen, the girls’ sextette, and Dwayne Wiggins, Warren Boudinot, and Bernice Fries singing solos. This show ran for two nights. On May 2 and 3 the special chorus, which is a selected group from all the chorus classes, went to Iowa City for the state-wide festival. At this gathering the vocal and instrumental groups and soloists were criticized instead of being judged and rated in contest form. Facilities of stay- ing over night were given to the partici- pants by the residents of Iowa University. I Just Uie week preceding this state-wide Hng at iwwa City, there took place in Daveffort a musi Jestival sponsored by Davenport Wibuque and J ast Water- loo high schools. TTFsides theSjj hree sponsors there were sevei ther hin schools participating. In this festiv P only vocal groups took part, but bands oT all these schools also were invited. Mana- ger of this festival was Mr. A. I. Nau- mann, principal. Many well known and famous musicians participated in the clin- ics and in directing the various massed units. A party and dance was held for all par-i ticipants on Friday night, April 25. huge crowd was out for this eastern Iowa festival and the crowd enjoyed the group recital of pieces by Christiansen, Brahnj Haydn, and others.

Day’s 1940 grid machine to steam-roller through a formidable 10-game schedule and flatten all but two foes. The first tilt on the schedule proved to be the first, last and only contest dropped by the Blue Devils in the course of the season. After succumbing to the always powerful Mooseheart, 111. eleven in that inaugural en- counter, the Daymen ran up against the Orange of East Moline and battled this touted foe to a scoreless stand- still. Functioning with clocklike precision and with Junior Franck, Kenny Popp, the Blues’ dependable signal- caller, and Horace Peeples, dusky backfield artist, lead- ing the parade, the Imps went on to average better than 21 in the remaining contests. Coach Day’s performers brought home the proverb- ial bacon in every one of their three title quests. Late FOOTBALL in the season a real scare was thrown into the high-flying: Blue Devils when a plucky St. Ambrose Academy team went down by a hairline 2-0 decision in the City title fray. The rampaging- Daymen roared through Mississippi Valley conference opposition and overwhelmed West Waterloo, Du- buque, Iowa City and whitewashed a hapless Clinton high eleven to top the conference heap. After the encounter with Dubuque, the Blue Devils admin- istered their most terrific lacing to a newcomer to the schedule, Central high of St. Louis. Coming as a fitting climax to one of Coach Day’s most suc- cessful seasons at I). II. S. was the 7-0 whitewash of favored Moline in the campaign’s finale. The victory came on a wind- swept, snow blanketed Public Schools’ stadium field and came as sweet revenge for the 34-0 drubbing handed to the Imps by the Maroons in the 1939 Thansgiving Day classic. Quad- city honors went to the Daymen by virtue of this win. . . . Although not boasting as good a record as the powerful varsity gridders, Coach Bill Rosing’s sophomore crew managed to wind up a mediocre season above the .500 mark. Outstanding performers developed by Coach Rosing were immediately swallowed up by the varsity management—one of the principal reasons for the yearlings’ fair showing. In the three home games sandwiched between six away- from-home contests, the Little Imps whitewashed East Moline and Rock Island and took it on the chin from the other Quad- city conference foe, Moline. The Moline sophs again humbled the D. H. S. yearlings in the campaign’s wind-up. Only two Mississippi Valley conference foes were encoun- tered by the Davenport sophomore squad, thus eliminating them from the official title chase. They rolled over both of them and may claim, however, the unofficial Valley crown. SOPHOMORE SCHEDULE Ours Opp. September 13 Lyons (There) 0 28 September 27 Dubuque (There) 12 0 October •!

Quad-city champs! Mississip- pi Valley champs! Sectional, District, Sub-state and STATE CHAMPIONS! That’s the sensational record compiled by the 1940-41 Blue Devil cage squad. Co-ordina- tion and balance were at a peak with this “dream team” which brought Coach Paul Moon his third state title in 13 years as head basket- ball mentor at Davenport high. The twelve boys who comprised the tourna- ment team were feted at various civic gather- ings and caused huge student demonstrations through downtown thoroughfares. Jack Spen- cer received recognition as the state’s outstand- ing tournament player and placed on every All- State team. Iowa City vanquished the Moonmen in the season’s inaugural, but that loss was avenged when the Imps rolled over the Little Hawks in the deciding battle of the Mississippi Valley con- ference race. Mason City’s defending champs were defeated twice by the Blue Devils as was the St. Ambrose Academy quint which failed to wrest the City championship from the rampag- ing Blues. Mid-year graduation took Coach Moon’s three stellar performers, Kenny Popp, Jerry Seiffert and Dick Kelling. However, instead of lagging.the team developed into a smooth work- ing machine from which was fashioned the best balanced tournament squad in the state. Much stiffer opposition was put up by a scrappy Cromwell five in the Blues’ semifinal match in the Drake fieldhouse than was shown by touted Holstein in the pay-off contest, which was dominated throughout by the Moonmen. “I’ve never coached a finer, more unselfish group of boys,” declared Coach Moon.

Tennis provided the fun and thrills for 32 of the I). II. S. net advocates during the 1911 season. Among these were four lettermen who formed the nucleus around which Coach Forrest Sissel developed his squad. The 1911 aggregation was paced by two veteran netmen, DuWayne Beckmann and Captain Bill Johnson, both stars of the Blue Devil state champion basketball squad.

Howell, another of the team’s stellar per- formers, was out of action in the early season with a troublesome appendix and his return bolstered succeeding perform- ances. It was live and learn during the cam- paign. After suffering a grand slam loss to the flashy Burlington courtmen in the opener, Coach Sissel’s team found itself and swept to a 6 to 3 victory over Dubuque on the local coui;ts. In the return meet at the up-river courts, an identical win was registered by the Imps. Clinton was then trimmed by Coach Sissel’s “racketeers.” Consistent improvement was shown by the squad as the season advanced. Accord- ing to Coach Sissel, the only predominant shortcoming was the lack of necessary ex- perience. 66 John Murhn clearing the bar. Paul Koprucki pole-vaulting. CINDER ARTISTS . . They may have been running around in cir- cles but the 1911 Blue Devil tracksters really got somewhere. It was Captain Junior Franck and Bob Roemer who paced the Blue Devils in the low hurdle events. Relay events were the specialty of the Imps throughout the season. The two- mile foursome consisted of Koprucki, Hoffmann, Pearson and Baxter. Harrison, Meier, Peeples and Franck comprised the crack half mile quar- tet. Sprinters for the speedy quarter mile crew were Bassett, colored sophomore flash, Roemer, Mucha and Harrison. First of all the Davenport trancksters sped to victory in the 11th annual Mississippi Valley conference indoor meet, at the Iowa University field house. One week later, Coach Jesse E. Day again took the squad to Iowa City for the State Indoor track carnival, where a fancy Ames high school dethroned the champion Blue Devils in the Class A division. The Blues finished in fourth place, 12 markers behind the new champs. Outdoor competition was furnished first by Rock Island. The Blue Devil cindermen easily outpointed their Crimson foe. Davenport took Class A honors in its own nocturnal relay car- nival by finishing well ahead of the second place Clinton squad.

When the curtain was rung- down on the 1940-’-! 1 wrestling season, all concern- ed agreed that it was highly successful. Veteran Dick Nobis and Co-captain Dob Roemer were the kingpins of the Blue Devil grappling squad throughout the cam- paign. Both went through 10 dual meets, two quadrangular meets and a Mississippi Valley meet with spotless records. Roemer, 155-pounder, dropped his first match of the season against Greco of Oel- wein in the district tourney. Nobis copped the Imps’ only first place at the district. The other “grupt and groan” co-captain, Bob Newell, lost a hairline overtime deci- sion to Andrews of West Waterloo. How- ever, all three qualified for the state finals. Russ Till, Bill Hutchins, “Skip” Slaton and Melvin Bowker captured third places for Coach 0. E. “Johnny” Johnson’s squad. Nobis, 112-pounder, suffered his first loss of the season in the opening round of the state finals when he was decisioned by McCorkle of Algona. Roemer was the only member of the Davenport trio to place. After dropping his first round match, he came back to beat Cast of Osage but lost the battle for second place to McCullough of Roosevelt high of Des Moines. Newell was decisioned in the opening round by Olson of Eagle Grove. BONE BREAKERS Pitcher Kd Francis ready for the pitch but keeping a wary eye on first. Catcher Lyle Kbner and Swede Hatfield, bat- ter, awaiting the old pill.” DIAMOND ACES.. A power-studded lineup with po- tential dynamite in every player’s bat was the big factor in establishing the 1940 baseball season as another of the many successful campaigns en- joyed by Head Coach Merle Makeever in his tenure at Davenport high. There was power in the outfield, power in the infield and power in the batteries of this team which was claimed to be greater than the previ- ous state championship Blue Devil squad. Even the pitchers, notably stocky Ed Francis and lanky Jim Hogue, were terrors at the plate. Because of the ease with which most opponents were subdued. Coach Makeever substituted practically at will. Bulwarks of his various infield combinations were Co-captain Swede Hatfield at the hot corner and Brownie Veach on the keystone sack. Backstop duties were handled chiefly by slugging Co-captain Lyle Ebner and Pee Wee Day, sensational sophomore hitting star. Outfield positions were held down by some of the team’s ablest hitters, including off- duty pitchers. Mediapolis was the victim in the season’s opener. The Blues had a field day while amassing 11 runs to the visitor’s three. Monticello was next in line for Coach Makeever’s well-balanced crew and was handed a 16 to 1 lacing. A plucky, experienced Letts nine put up stiff opposition before succumbing, 7 to 2. Superior hitting power and clever twirling supplied the victory punch through the remainder of the Blue Devil season. Tho 11 11 baseball .squad. Front row, left to right: llau.schild. Sass, Schultz.

C. drun: and bugle corps and the high school band acting as guards of honor, the homecoming celebrations for 1940 began at 1:80 p. m., October 18 with a parade through th€ downtown district. The pa- rade was set off by the pres- ence of Queen Dora Crissey and her four attendants. Al- so in the marching were floats which had been as- sembled entirely by the vari- ous clubs and student organ- izations at the high school. After the procession had broken up, the queen and her attendants rode to the Or- pheum theater where they went to the studios of WHBF. While there, they made a transcription which was broadcast later in the evening. The royal entourage was entertained royally at a homecoming banquet held in the Walnut room at the Ho- tel Blackhawk. Prominent speakers at the festivities were A. I. Naumann, princi- pal, Art Kroppach, alderman, who represented Mayor John Jebens, Irvin II. Schmitt, superintendent of schools, and Clarence W. Hach, jour- nalism director at the high school who acted as toastmaster. This year, Davenport high school students paid homage to a lovely bru- nette and her four attendants. The majestic crown rested on the head of Dora Crissey, who reigned supreme over all the numerous homecoming ac- tivities. She was sponsored by the La- tin Club. Her attendants were Evalee Boughan, Betty Farris, Fern Schneck- loth and Marjorie Wiese. The Queen and her attendants were elected by the popular vote of the student body and the faculty. Starting at 9 o’clock with a huge pep “aud.” the students’ spirits started bubbling and continued to increase un- til they completely “effervesced” at the WING Upper right: The Normal Club prize winning float.

The people in the fifth period lunch hour began their march around the school until joined by a large majority of the rest of the student body. Alter parading around the campus twice, the mob surged down Main street, through the down- town district, cheering all the way, and winding up at the court house where, amid the cheers of the group, several short speeches were made by student leaders and members of the football squad. The entire mass of students wound their way back up Harrison street to the high school where they entered the school and went through the halls cheering, “We Want the Queen.” However, Queen Dora was safely locked in an Art room closet. After a thorough, but fruitless search for the Queen, the students dissembled and returned to their seventh period classes. Following the aforementioned ban- quet at the Hotel Blackhawk, the queen and her attendants were taken to the Public Schools’ Athletic field where they were escorted to the royal box, from which thev witnessed the Homecoming clash between the Du- buque Rams and our own Blue Devils.

The royal party was escorted across a long car- pet, across the football field and into the royal box, from where they watch- ed the Davenport gridders down the fighting Dubuque eleven, 32-18. The same enthusiasm that had been seen all through the day was evident at the game as tumultuous cheers helped the team along. During half- time, the winners of the first three prizes for homecoming floats paraded around the oval. After the game, the enthusiasm had not ceased as is evi- denced by the attempt of several stu- dents to steal the goal posts at the south end of the field. Despite their heroic efForts, all was in vain as the steel posts defied pilfering. The celebrations were topped off by the annual homecoming dance which was held in the George Edward Mar- shall Gymnasium immediately follow- ing the game. Queen Dora reigned regally as she led the grand march and danced among all her devoted subjects. The homecoming celebrations were under the direction of the Hi-Y, stu- dent organization, and Mr. Leslie C. Goss, director of extra-curricular ac- tivities. • • • Upper right: An exciting moment in the homecoming game. Middle right: Dancers in the annual festivities.

A number of things could, but in the last year these pic- tured were probably the most widely attended and heard of. Not so long ago the Spanish club held its banquet at the Lend-A-Hand. A good dinner was served and entertainment (in Spanish) was presented (above). Erling Larson is shown dancing blissfully with his date at the Jan- uary Senior Prom. “Swing your partner” and the “far- mers” at the Gym Circus did a regular old square dance with everything except their ’’corn likker.” Bud Vieth and Eva Mae Shewry take time out for a “coke” during the Prom inter- mission. Another feature of the Gym Circus was the sword dance with the girls in their pert little mon- key caps. “May I cut in?”—Eva Mae Shewn- asks Frances Cassling at the Spinsters’ Spree. Warren “Red” Bou- dinot is the lucky boy.— (P. S. He’s a good dancer, too.) Above. “Ladeez and Gentlemen” shouts the ringmaster with whip in hand. You’d never guess (would you) but it’s re- ally Dave McFerren working at the Gym Circus. Jack Ogden, Albert Antonetti and Junior Franck were the leading characters in “The Men,” an original play. They did it for Quill club. My! what beautiful legs you have Goldilocks!! Several perfectly dignified teachers and band parents presented a ballet at the Band’s Minstrel Show. That’s Coach Moon with the golden tresses. Also in the Minstrel Show was the Girls’ Sextet, looking sweet in their old-fashioned dresses. mu on 75 It was a great day for the high school when the I). II. S. state champs came home. School was dis- missed at the end of the fifth period and the whole school paraded through town. And there’s the school mascot “Nickie” with Louise Fidyke, one of the cheer leaders. A kind of telescopic view of Europe was present- ed at the band’s minstrel show last February. Art Kroppach (blackfaced) was pretty disgusted with Stalin, Mussolini and Hitler. Pictured here is “Sarg” Barlow pulling one of his famous “seegars.” Looks like a mighty big job for anyone to undertake. I)-a-D-a-v-------How those cheer leaders do work to keep up the school spirit. They are from left to right: Kenny Anderson, Louise Fidyke, Helen Kraus, Audrey Kelly and Pat Callahan. “Our Town’’ was presented by the expression de- partment to finance the trip of “Jacob Comes Home” to the national play festival. The cast consisted of Don Cassling, Bob Getman, Bev Wilson, Jim Seward, Joyce Day, Warren Burmeister, Ed Fleming, Everett Paget, Eva Lee Boughan, Ann Neill and Dick Prose. When “Jacob Comes Home” was given in Nation- al contest at Bloomfield, Indiana, the cast represent- ed the whole state of Iowa. The cast included Bob Getman, Evalee Boughan, Everett Paget, Bev Wil- son, Janet Duffy and Warren Burmeister. And here is “Junior” the faithful mascot of the champs. See “Old Man Mose” peeking around the corner. There was a hot time in the old town Sunday afternoon when the basketball team returned home. Crowds milled over the campus for some time. MILITARY BALL To reign over the annual Military Ball festivities December 6 in the George Edward Marshall Gym- nasium, the R. 0. T. C. students elected I )ora Crissey as Honorary Cadet Colonel. As her subordinates, the cadets also elected Betty Farris and Marjorie Wiese as Honorary Cadet Lieutenant Colonels. The awards were presented to the Colonel and her colleagues at the ball by Principal A. I. Naumann. Sterling silver insignias of their rank and miniature sabres, upon which their name was engraved, were presented to the honorary officers. While Mr. Nau- mann was awarding these trophies, the R. 0. T. C. Guard of Honor, composed of a group of oflicers, stood at attention. The ballroom was decorated to suit the military theme. Flags of all nations were displayed. R. 0. T.

GRADUATE CLASS OF JANUARY Left to rixht: Warren Hinkle, boys’ treasurer; (ierlrude Codd, Kirin’ treasurer; Art Parke, vice-president; Klixabeth Kloppenburx. secretary; Stan Kolbcrjc. president. Something entirely different in the matter of graduation exercises took place in January when the program consisted of an historical pageant. This innovation in the commencement exercises was under the direction of Miss Holmes, Miss Hall, Mr. Morti boy and Mr. Gannett. The Industrial Arts, Art, Vocal and Instrumental Music classes took part in the arrangement and in the giving of the program. The reason for having a pageant for this mid-year program was to allow more seniors to participate in their final commencement exercises. Many parts were open to the seniors; narrator, models for the scenes, etc. Also participating were poetry readers, a choral reading group, soloists and small vocal groups (not necessarily seniors). The solos were sung by Dottie Jean Kortum, Warren Boudinot and Everett Paget while Phil Goettsch took the narrator’s post. All in all, the scenes presented numbered twelve. Each one dealt with some phase of American life or history. For example, students in costumes represented dif- ferent eras in American life. There was the scene of the signing of the Declaration of Independence; an episode showing the negroes picking cotton; another depicting life in the west; still another showing the glamorous “gay nineties”; one episode pictured Lincoln as a young man splitting rails and for the finishing scene Arlene Mel by portrayed peace and liberty. All of these scenes were viewed through a large frame which had been con- structed by the Industrial Arts classes just for this occasion. The scenery in these views had been done by Miss Hall’s art classes. Immediately following this pageant of American life, commencement exercises took place. In January, 1941, there were 133 graduates. 79 BETTY ANN A1LES. Interested in collecting statues. Hobby is dogs. • JEAN IRIS AL- DREDGE. Quill club, Debate team.

This club started in 1934 and has grown until it now boasts of a membership of over one hundred. Any girl in high school who has earned the necessary fifty points is eligible for membership to the club. Presiding over this active group of girls this year were Betty Seaton, presi- dent; Dorothy Nabor, vice-president; Louise Fidyke, secretary-treasurer. Special activities of the year included the spring and fall rushing parties, ini- tiation and, oh yes, the colorful Spinsters’ Spree when every girl is given a chance to ask the “man of her dreams” even if she does have to foot all the bills including the quaint vegetable corsages. The Gym Circus found the girls in a military drill costumed in classy cadet uniforms. Hard work in this organization is well rewarded. Two points an hour are given for various kinds of athletic activities. After the first five hundred points have been chalked up, a one stripe “D” is awarded. Anyone earning one thousand points can claim a pin which is the state award. A three striped letter is pre- sented to the girl who can boast of 1,750 points. Miss Gibson and Miss Patterson are the faculty advisers. 86 OW I. Scaled left li right: Albert I'clemcn.

This club, estab- lished in 1937 by the students with Miss Johnstone as adviser, provides an outlet for pupils with a flair for writing. A poem, essay, short story or any other composition accepted by the club and adviser is all that is necessary to admit a student interested in joining. Besides, “Quill” means fun. Last autumn the club entered a float in the Homecoming parade. The officers for that semester were Herbert Beitel, president; Jack Ogden, vice-president; Dorothy Traeger, secretary, and Albert Petersen, treasurer. The club is also one of the first in the high school to authorize the purchase of an official club pin. The officers for the spring term were Kathryn Schroeder, president: Carol Casey, vice-president; Richard Prose, secretary, and Albert Petersen, treasurer. In March, members and non-members alike saw the presentation of a play, “The Men,” written by Fred Hunt and dramatized by boys from Miss Johnstone’s creative writing class. Occasionally through the year, programs consisting of the work done by the students were given.

As one of the high school’s larger clubs it accomplished much during the year of ’40 and ’41. Together with the Art club, the Spanish club took fourth place in the Homecoming parade. “Furthering of Pan American Relations’’ was the theme of the club’s radio broadcast, with Richard Corbin as master of ceremonies. The club also undertook the task of planning a Spanish club banquet for all the Spanish students in the Tri-Cities. This was held at the Lend-A- Hand club in March. In spring eighteen members from the high school were sent to a region- al conference of the Student Pan American Union at Quincy, Illinois. “Buenos Dias Carmelita,” an all Spanish movie, was shown to the mem- bers at a spring meeting. landing left lo right: John Frevert. president; Marcella Warner, treasurer; Grace Carson, vice-president: Joan Uken. secretary; Miss Hall, sponsor.

S. it makes up in spirit what it lacks in size. Miss Hall is the new faculty adviser replacing Mrs. Bacci (Miss Marquardt) who left last spring. In the fall, under the direction of Warren Clymer, president; Bonnie Nighswan- der, vice-president; Joan Uken, secretary, and John Frevert, treasurer, the Art club, together with the Spanish club, took fourth place in the Homecoming parade and supported a candidate for queen. At one of the meetings in early winter, Miss Lucille Wagner, textile designer, talked to the group. During Christmas week a party was given for the members after school. As the spring semester rolled ’round again, the following new offi- cers replaced the old: John Frevert, president; Grace Carsen, vice- president; Joan Uken, secretary, and Marcella Warner, treasurer. As a part of the public schools’ broadcasting, the Art club pre- sented a sketch on the life of Leonardo de Vinci and his famous paint- ing of the “Last Supper.” The manuscript, written by John Frevert, was dramatized by the club members. At a meeting in early spring, Mr. Hammes of the Industrial Arts department, spoke to the club on “Etching.” Decoration of the proposed club room will be the next project of the club. 89 Foreground, left to right: Corporal Jimmie Little, vice-president: Lieutenant Melvin Allenxworth. president: Corporal Hubert Seward, rcrordcr-xrrgrnnt-at-arms.

This unique club has donated its services at almost every event under school sponsorship. The last season has found the boys “on hand” at football and basketball games, wrestling meets, track meets, dances, plays and all special programs. Ushering, ticket selling and check rooms all come under the line of duty. Besides the work connected with membership there is fun in the form of parties and picnics which show that they believe in the old proverb “All work and no play-----” Mr. Young, boys’ adviser, is the club sponsor. 90 Seated left to rinht: liarbara l.armcr, Marjorie Kehoe.

QUILL and SCROLL Newshawks at Davenport high school have a chance to congregate at the meetings of Quill and Scroll, international honorary journalism society, which was organized only last year. Dr. Frank Luther Mott, Director of the School of Journalism at the State University of Iowa, spoke at the Publications’ banquet last June. At this time the local chapter of the club was named after Dr. Mott and twenty-five charter members were initiated at an impressive candlelight service. Initiation of eight new members last semester took place at the home of Mr. C. W. Ilach, faculty adviser. Officers for this year were Dick Corbin, president; Kvalee Boughan, vice- president; Marjorie Iioss, secretary-treasurer. Activities for the year included the publishing of two election extras, a pic- nic last fall and the big project of the semester, the Publications’ banquet held June 7 at the Outing Club. Mr. Harlan Miller, noted writer of “Over the Cof- fee,” a daily feature of the Des Moines Register, was the guest speaker. 91 FRENCH CLUB Le premiere mardi de la mois. The first Tuesday of the month and here we have another French club meeting. Miss Blackman, the faculty adviser, has charge of its thirty French- minded members who meet once a month in Room 38. The officers for the fall semester were: President, Jean Hansen; vice- president, Mary Ann Morris; secretary, Barbara Larmer, and treasurer, Belle Sirota. Last fall the club members won third for their float in the Homecoming parade, and supported Jean Hansen for Homecoming queen. For the spring semester the officers were: President, Mary Ann Morris; vice-president, Barbara Larmer; secretary Dora Crissey; and treasurer, Jean Ann Zoeckler. One of the outstanding activities of the French club this year was the presentation of a program over radio station WOC on French Christmas customs. At one meeting the members enjoyed a dramatization of “Les Trois Ours,” (The Three Bears), which was directed by Barbara Larmer. The roles were played by Mary Ann Morris as “Goldilocks,” Dora Crissey as the “Papa Bear,” Patte Meahl as the “Mama Bear” and Virginia Johnson as the “Baby Bear.” Row 1. itrnlcd. left to rich!: Kloisr Jamra, Marilyn Davi� .

GERMAN CLUB To study and learn to appreciate German culture has been the main object of members of the German club this past season. Prog-rams were furnished by various club members who talked on different phases of German music, cos- tumes and education. An honest to goodness German band made its ap- pearance at the December meeting which took the form of a Christmas party. This club which meets once a month was headed this last season by Betty Bielenberg, while Patricia Burkhalter recorded the minutes, and Helen Simpson held the purse strings. Miss Florence Anderson is club adviser. 93 DRAMATIC CLUB Time marches on but the Dramatic club members have the opportunity of turning back the pages and playing the role of almost anyone their choice dictates. Entrance to this club is reserved to those who pass a test given in a sample reading from a play. Under the direction of Miss Wicks, Miss Holmes and Mr. Hopkins, the club officers for the year were Everett Paget, president; Evalee Boughan, vice-president; Anne Louise Johnson, secretary and Jean Hall, treasurer. Projects for the year included a series of radio broadcasts and a one act play “Loving Lunatics” which was given for the Minstrel Show. The cast included Duane Paulsen, Anne Louise Johnson and Jean Hall. The cast of “Happy Journey,” another one act play, included Everett Paget, James Seward, Evalee Boughan, Catherine Liljequist, Anne Louise Johnson and Edward Fleming.

Heading this branch of the Y. M. C. A. for the first semester were LaVerne Paulsen, president; Jerry Seiffert, vice-president; Mike Fidler, secretary; Jack Fisher, treasurer; John Frevert, sergeant-at-arms, and Bill Johnson, chaplain. Second semester officers were Bill Johnson, president; Bob Getman, vice-presi- dent; Alton Selby, secretary; Dane Lennon, treasurer; Jim Frevert, chaplain, and Art Dailey, sergeant-at-arms. With a membership of approximately forty-five, Max Clowers, “Y” adviser, and C. W. Hach, faculty adviser, they have completed another year full of ac- tivity. The first undertaking of the year was the sponsoring of Homecoming which included the parade, banquet and dance. A get-to-gether with Buffalo Hi-Y at Camp Abe Lincoln was an event of last fall. The holiday season found the fel- lows distributing gifts of the various charitable organizations to the needy. A series of personality development talks, annual Holy Week services spon- sored in collaboration with the Student club, and a party for departing Hi-Y seniors appeared on the calendar for the spring semester. 96 Organized in 1919, the club adopted the blue triangle as their symbol to signify growth in body, mind and spirit. The club slogan is “Face life squarely.” Heading this group of “young moderns” were: President, Glenelyn Lawless; vice-president, Phyllis Hemmingson; secretary, Betty Priester; treasurer, Patricia Burkhalter. Miss Helen Kahl and Miss Olivette Holmes served as faculty advisers with Miss Willa Hind, Girl Reserve secretary. The group pictured above is about to receive refreshments at the annual party for new girls which took the form of a Valentine party this year. Also high lighting their activity calendar of wide variety were the following special meetings. A talk by Mr. Jack Neary, manager of the Orpheum theater on “Who Chooses Your Movies.” In December a Christmas play, and in January a Tin Can Supper. In the girls’ own words, “We had just gobs of food. The March meeting found a style show in progress with Marian Westenfeldt. Charlotte Thuenen, Letitia Butler, Agnes Crissey, Marian Guldner and Glenelyn Lawless acting as models. In addition were a series of talks on timely subjects as movies, hobbies and personality development. The annual Holy Week services held at St. John’s Methodist Church were sponsored jointly with the Hi-Y. 97 Seated, left to right. row- 1: Corrine Stockman, Marilyn Rntnm. program chairman; Mary Jayne Block, secretary; Betty Robi- son, vice-president; Virginia (iasser, president.

The club, under the facul- ty supervision of Miss Whitney and leadership of Miss Nantz, will help you get acquainted with many of the other girls taking home economics subjects. The officers for the fall semester were: President, Virginia Gasser; vice-president, Betty Robison; secretary- treasurer, Mary Jane Block; program chairman, Delores Kavka; and publicity chairman, Alberta Boyd. Betty Farris, nominated as the club’s candidate for Homecoming Queen, won an attendantship and was hon- ored at a Victory dinner by the Jane Addams club and the Service club together. An annual event is the Christmas party given for the pre-school age children of the Iowa Soldiers’ Orphans Home when the club paints and repairs old toys as gifts for the little children. Another annual event is the joint Christmas party of the Jane Addams club and the Service club. This spring the officers were the same with the exception of Marilyn Ramm taking the place of Delores Kavka as program chairman. The meetings are almost always planned by the girls themselves and one of the interesting programs was a talk by Marilyn Ramm on “Nursing.” Another interesting program was furnished by Leona lllian, a 4-H club prize-winner, when she told of the trip to Chicago given her as a prize. 98 LATIN CLUB Here it is the third Tuesday of the month again and time for another meeting of the “Comitium Romanum,” more commonly known as the Latin club. The club under the faculty supervision of Miss Minnie Eskelson and Miss Flossie Bates has a membership of ninety members and holds its meetings in Study Room A. The officers for the fall semester were: First consul (president), Marjorie Tennes; second consul (vice-presi- dent), Donald Boege; scriba (secretary), Flora CofTelt; questor (treasurer), Marian Wuestenfeld; and aedile (in charge of refreshments), Betty Jane Johnson. One of the important festivities to the Latin club was Homecoming when a float was entered in the parade and their candidate for Queen, Dora Crissey, came out the winner. The members answer roll call “adsum” or with a Latin quotation. The minutes, however, are written in English. For the spring semester the officers were: First con- sul, Betty Christensen; second consul, Timothy Warner: scriba, Ann Neill; questor, Marian Wuestenfeld; and aedile, Faythe Kuhlmann. The programs of the club have to do with the classics and most of them are presented by the students them- selves. A gold pin is the reward for the four-year students who have made E or G records. This year Marjorie Tennes was the only one to receive such an honor. On stage left to right: Ann Neill, scriba; Marian Wuestenfeld quaestor; Hetty Christensen. first consul; Timothy Warner, second consul; Richard Prose, gladiator. Row 1.

The “big event” in the lives of four hundred and seventy-two seniors occurred on the night of June 10,1941, when they were awarded their diplomas after twelve years of hard “labor” cramming their heads full of the three “R’s.” Presiding at the commencement exercises were the class officers: Bob Hoffmann, president; Roy Fisher, vice-president; Evalee Boughan, secretary; Beverly Lieberstein, girls’ treas- urer, and DuWayne Beckmann, boys’ treasurer. Working with Mr. Goss on the Senior Prom were Jerry Seiffert, committee chairman, Don Schutter, Ray Rice, Eva Mae Shewry, Bud Vieth, Ben Mueller and Barbara Larmer. The invitation committee was under the direction of Lois Hein, aided and abetted by Bob Getman, Bill Johnson, Dick Corbin, Fern Schneckloth and Wayne Rosten- bach. Miss Wicks was in charge of this year’s Senior Class play, “Young April.” As- sisting her were Dwayne Wiggins, student chairman; Warren Burmeister, Everett Paget, Marjorie Kehoe, Mary Ann Morris and Mary Watson. Jim Seward was in charge of publicity. This play, a light comedy about college students, was given on May 29. The Senior Party committee did a swell job this year and to them go our thanks. Chairman of this group was David McFerren, and his erstwhile assistants were Louise Fidyke, Leo Ziffren, John Mucha, Hal Kuehl and Frances Jugenheimer. The Senior Prom was held this year on June 10 at the Coliseum ballroom.
