MASTER MILITARISTS Left to riitht: Col. Folk J. Atkinson. I’.M.S. T.: Master Sergeant David Barlow. The uniforms of the R. O. T. C. are quite a familiar sight around Davenport high. The cadets are taught theoretical studies and drillings. 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. Schaefer, F. E. Mortiboy. and Tom Collina.

LEARNED LINGUISTS I.«• ft to ritcht: Mix Dorothy Blackman. Mi Florence K. Anderson, Mix Min- nie Kxkelxon. Mix Kloxxic Kate . Mix Martha Meyer. “Buenos tardes. 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.

“He floats through the air with the greatest of ease. But he has nothing on our boys’ gym classes. 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. Mi» Catherine Patterson. Paintings are merely petrified music. You will certainly believe this when you go in the art rooms, 49 and 50. Puppets, models in clay, and metal work line all the walls in vivid, bright- colored designs. The art students are first taught the fundamentals of the subject, then the principles of painting, design, commercial art, sculptoring and metal craft. FINE ART- ISTS” . Left to right: Mi»» K.
