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.

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.

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.
