THE BLACKHAWK ANNUAL OF 1942 ERLING LARSON EARL LARSON editor-in-chief assistant editor NANCY SCHMIDT art editor WALTER NAVIN business manager DAVENPORT HIGH DAVENPORT, IOWA SCHOOL VOLUME 25 (huxi£co+ir the Ate ncil aj esnacA cy BUILDING for the future of America, all of us together: in the factory — on the farm — and in the school. Here is knowledge from which we draw our strength — wisdom which makes us powerful — truth that will keep us free. Freedom is worth fighting and dying for. Yes, and it is worth living and studying for. Out of the pages of our books, from the music of our band, from the roar in the machine shop and the sparks of the forge, girls in home economics, boys in mathematics classes — from all these comes young America's challenge to ignorance and dictatorship — we will be educated, and we will be free! So we dedicate this Blackhawk Annual of 1942 to those boys of the Reserve Officers' Training Corps, who are the future defenders of our country, to the armed forces of Uncle Sam everywhere, to all who are working for victory, and to America victorious!

GENERAL HEADQUARTERS I am pleased to greet the members of the graduating class of 1942 in this unusual period of our national and community life. The incidents that have given birth to the slogan “Remember Pearl Harbor” are not of ordinary import. You are the first class to leave our high school in World war number two. Your lives will be conditioned by the fact that we are participants in a conflict not of our making—a conflict waged to preserve the freedom our forefathers gained only after a long struggle. If your formal schooling has been effective, it has made you appreciative of all this, and consequently you should be strongly motivated to do your part in the cause. Indications are that most of the boys will engage in some kind of war activity—not a few in actual com- bat. It is possible, too, that girls will be required to perform services essential to winning the war. I am confident that, in whatever way you serve, each one will give a good account of himself. When the time comes to arrange the affairs of men, I am sure you will do your part in bringing about a permanent peace. Finally, wherever you are and whatever you do, in war and in peace, I wish for you a successful and worth- while future. Irvin H. Schmitt, Superintendent of Schools. Above: Mr. Irvin H.

Mr. Henry Nab- stedt and Mr. William Blascr succeeded them. 12 Sincerest congratulations to each 1942 graduate. For the time used and the efforts put forth, you are entitled to praise and recognition. On the other hand, those who have provided these opportunities for you are deserving much as a reward for their sacrifices in your behalf. What do you owe to your benefactors as a recompense and to your posterity as a heri- tage? The answer will be made by each of you in the way you will use the training you have received in bringing about a successful and happy life for yourself and in making a true contribution to the welfare of your home, your community, your country and to the world. This will mean a contribution to the building of a society that is built on the rock of respect for human personalities. May you be successful in every worthy ambition. Sincerely, A. I.

Miss Soller and Mr. Hitchings, faculty ad- visers, agreed that much was accomplished dur- ing the first year of its existence. Over one hundred gift boxes were packed by the privates of this military thought camp and sent to European countries at Christmas time to cheer the little folks “over there.” Some twenty different designs were put on 150 menu covers by the art battalion and shipped to the Navy to be used at their Christmas dinner. First aid classes to accommodate nearly 200 students were organized in the spring. Lessons taught to the tune of “Clicking Needles” were taken by both girls and boys to knit a sweater for that soldier friend in camp. The season’s climax was the benefit basketball game given to raise money for the War Relief fund. A total of $602.83 was realized. Enter- tainment included a Davenport vs Sterling var- sity game, faculty vs “B” team game, band con- cert, and Red Cross nurses’ review. Fall council officers were Marian Wuestenfeld, president; Rosemary Malloy, vice-president; Ruth Trainer, secretary-treasurer. Presiding in the spring were Patricia Jansen as president, Katherine Brownlie as vice-president, and Mar- garet Lord as secretary-treasurer. Council mem- bers consisted of one representative from each home room.

Under the command of Mr. Johnson, boys’ gym in- structor, the boys engage in boxing and fencing, learning how to defend themselves from their foes. Reading the orders of the day, Miss Gib- son, girls’ gym instructor, sends her squads off to duty on the gym-floor ground. The girls delight in fencing and playing badmin- ton and ping pong. The draftees of the home economics regi- ment, preceding their Christmas furlough, made stuffed toys for the orphans’ home. This regiment is in constant active duty be- fore assembly. Sometimes such special business as a press conference is held at general headquarters. All journalism students were ordered to be present by Commanding Officer Clarence W. Hach to hear the excellent instruction given by Floyd A. Arpan, professor of journalism at Northwestern University, and Earl Eng- lish, professor of journalism at Iowa Uni- versity.

September 5, 1941—Fifty conscripted journalists of the 29th regiment (all from room 29) were called to attention by Chief of Staff, Jean Krabbenhoeft. Orders were issued for the first Blaekhawk of the semester. October 14, 1941—Journalists from ten schools in Iowa and Illinois were guests in the barracks of Davenport high school for a Journalism conference. Summons were also sent to and answered by professors from the University of Iowa, Northwestern university, and the University of Wisconsin. Sometime in fall—The Blaekhawk passed inspection with flying colors and went over the top to capture the flag of honor. With pride, the 29th regiment remembers that it won the Quill and Scroll International Honor award given to papers of superior achievement. And with inflated chests it speaks of that second place in the Columbia Scholastic Press association after competing with 1600 papers. December 7, 1941 — Early Sunday morning Japanese planes made a surprise attack on Pearl Harbor. Journalists everywhere began to realize the worldwide significance of the “fourth estate.” January 31, 1942—The mid-year Quill and Scroll banquet was held at the Outing club. The details are a military secret, but pledges were informally reviewed before joining the ranks of full-fledged members. May 29, 1942—The last issue of the Blaekhawk was re- leased and the 29th regiment was given its leave of absence. Advber c. W. Ilarh.

THE 1942 When the General Staff met in May over a year ago to plan the strategy of the 25th anniversary edition of the Blackhawk, they de- cided to go all-out for victory and write themselves red-white-and blue with a military theme. Production plans began imme- diately as Chief-of-Staff Erling liai - son appointed Nancy Schmidt head of layouts and blueprints and named Ralph Bender as her orderly. An enthusiastic recruiting cam- paign was carried on until hundreds of students had volunteered to en- joy the Blackhawk and registered at their home room stations — no draft necessary here! Like the government, the staff must please everyone, and so the Public Relations bureau dispatched its representatives to find out exact- ly what was wanted by students, faculty, alumni, parents, and public! With typewriters for machine guns, books for bombs and paper for planes, we roared into action on • in-chief.

There’s no defensive strategy in this book. The staff was continually on the offensive, getting the jump on the Old Father Time for those precious minutes, as vital in journalism as in defense fac- tories — always scouting for news, its Secret Service working silently for scoops — ever a step ahead and on the alert! Above: Photographer Bob Oakes, Assistant Kditor Karl Larson, and Adviser Clarence W. Haeh planning pictures. You’ll notice the element of surprise attack in the candid shots. Our Press Corps crawled through desk and waste- paper entanglements, dangled from elec- tric lights and got the evidence! The Office of Censorship had only a mild workout as Administrator C. W. Hach applied the red pencil occasionally so that no copy disastrous to our educa- tional effort would be printed. And now after a year of work, marred by no more sabotage than a broken type- writer, the campaign is finished and our objective achieved.

Nurse Wilna Nash here helps protect the vision of a future far-sighted leader. To join our student army the recruit must pass a rigorous examination with tests for eyesight, hearing, teeth and general health. Home Defense has received enthusiastic support. The gym- nasium has been designated as an emergency hospital. A stret- cher-bearer corps drills under Dr. Carl Matthey, school sur- geon-general, and many students are studying to become first aid experts.

In these classes we prepare ourselves to make the discoveries of tomor- row so that the world of science will continue to advance. Today we are inventing more powerful weapons of war. Tomorrow we will strive to create imple- ments of peace. Science will be bent toward serving humanity and making a safer, happier world. “Physical Fitness for Defense” is being empha- sized now so the classes in physiology are of special importance. “Phys” students are enjoying them- selves in the picture at top right, taking apart “Oscar,” life-size plastic model of the human body. Through the study of biology and zoology we learn the fundamentals of mineral, plant and animal life. A scene from a biology class is shown at the bottom of the opposite page, where students are examining newly sprouting plants in the acquarium and (lower-pots, while others busily scan their books for facts on leaves and buds. Periodically in the zoology room a furor is created by the girls as one of the snakes wriggles loose and goes exploring! During the winter the pet crocodile can be seen hibernating cozily in his comer, arid in spring the room is brightened by the presence of Huffy, yellow ducklings. Boys who hope to become engineers, aviators, doc- tors, chemists or pharmacists must study physics and chemistry. Shown on these pages are students making experiments with test tubes, diagrams and all the complicated scientific apparatus required. Girls who are proficient in these fields are sought after as prospective dietitians and nurses. Through science, not only the mysteries of nature are laid before us, but man-made miracles as well. 27 IND Industrial Arts teacher , left to right: First row. Forrest Sisrel. Robert Henning, W. C.

TO DRAW THE DRAFT FOR FIGHTING CRAFT In training to become the “man behind the man behind the gun” are all the industrial arts laborers speeding up their production to wartime levels! Machine and gen- eral shops, architectural and me- chanical drawing, wood turning, printing, forge and foundry work prepare future leaders for all-out production. The boys above are busy in ma- chine shop, and those below are intently bent over drawing boards, soon perhaps to l e draftsmen in vital defense industries. The I. A. department occupies its own buildings on the campus and is especially proud of its foun- dry, only one of its kind to be found in high schools of eleven 28 USTRIAL ARTS TO WORK A MACHINE FOR OUR COUNTRY'S ESTEEM surrounding states of this area. Cutting metal, setting type and working with wood lathes, as the boys shown on this page are doing, demonstrates the diversified work of this department. The first group enlisted is in the machine, the second in printing and the last in general shop. Through practical experience combined with theory, boys in printing learn to be capable users of “slugs and “thirty-dashes.” For the past five years they have bi-weekly printed the “Black- hawk,” school newspaper. Point- ing the way to the coming trend of women in war industries, this year one girl volunteered and was accepted for work in printing. Right: led to right.

TO STUDY OUR LIT AND DO OUR BIT GLISH Basic skills upon which to build — English and literature, classicists and moderns. We go on reading and writing all our lives, so we must acquire excellence in English, proficiency in punctuation, adept- ness in reading and adroitness in writing. Many courses are offered to meet the demands of every student. Two years of English are required for graduation. Col- lege preparatory classes in English and American literature and courses in busi- ness English and recent literature are con- ducted. Aspiring authors and poets re- ceive training in the creative writing classes. Journalism is offered to afford better appreciation of newspapers and magazines, and to give basic training in the skills of the “fourth estate.” Busy scanning current periodicals, the students pictured center left are keeping themselves well informed of world events. Below them we see English literature students who might possibly be listening to Lady Macbeth’s “sleep-walking scene.” Normal training students, tomorrow’s teachers, are concentrating on the diagram of a sentence in the classroom shown on the top of this page. A miniature modern library is shown in the picture below, where recent literature students can read the finest of today’s magazines. ★ ★ ★ TO TRAIN THE SONS BEHIND THE GUNS Above, left to right: Dolores Kavka, Phyllis Dresehler, and Dorothy Ix rber.

TO CONVERSE WITH EASE IN THE LANGUAGE WE PLEASE Good neighbors we will be — Si si, por supuesto! Oui, oui, bien entendu! Interpreting the mys- teries of Spanish, French, German and Latin, our five language teachers point the way to better understanding of our world neighbors through knowledge of their speech, traditions and customs. Future doctors, nurses and lawyers find Latin vital. To others it pro- vides a foundation for courses in modern lang- uages or improved Eng- lish vocabularies. The “South American Way” becomes increas- ingly popular, and so do classes in “espanol,” helping to pave the way to more lasting hemis- phere friendliness. French and German continue to be of class- ical value in literature, important to aspiring musicians and scientists. 32 Virginia Thom � on drliuiini a humorou� declamation to a public «peaking claaa.

We’ve learned the value of silver tongues and smooth speech, whether it be the dis- trict attorney’s final plea in a murder play or Lincoln’s Get- tysburg Address delivered by the school’s top orator. The four “generals” of the speech and public speaking departments lead their “troops” through a wide var- iety of theory, drill and man- euvers. In the former depart- ment are offered fundament- als, interpretive reading, one- act plays, makeup, stagecraft, directing and radio. Public speakers study debate, ora- tory, declamation and extem- poraneous speaking. Helping to build morale, Virginia Thomasson is shown at top right giving her inter- pretation of “Tovarich.” Pict- ured below is a gripping cli- max in the one-act play “The Man in the Howler Hat.” SPEECH MUSIC TO RAISE MORALE AS OUR VOICES CHORAL Right: Advanced vocal muvic da� .

D.H.S. too has discovered that music is magical, an age-old “cheer-upper,” and no classes are more popular than those in the vocal and instrumental departments. Enthusiastically rehearsing is the a’cap- pella chorus, shown on the opposite page. Below that scene “Mort” directs the 100 piece Red and Blue band in as stirring a march as they played on the football field this season. The vocal department offers courses in music appreciation and harmony, besides fundamental and advanced singing, girls’ glee club, boys’ quartet and other musical combinations.

TO STUDY OUR MATH OR FEEL DICTATORS' WRATH Mathematics is the truth! “Continually seeking it — searching for the value of “x” and the“unknown quan- tity—” we ponder over arithmetic, algebra, geometry and trigon- ometry. Soldiers go places quicker if they know their two - times - two. Sailors and marines find math invaluable. Aspir- ing pilots must be well steeped in P.vthagorian art. Future engineers and scientists realize mathematics is the foundation of those pro- fessions. Even aspiring singers and actors know there will some day be income taxes and telephone bills!

TO STUDY OUR HISTORY SO THE FUTURE'S NO MYSTERY As history is being made all around us every sin- gle hour, we realize that the study of social sciences is our key to the mysteries of the future. We ponder the old adage, “History repeats itself,” and question as to the type of social world we wish to create at the close of this world war. To prepare ourselves as coming citizens of the United States we study American history and civics, as required by state law. Courses are also given in European history, economics, sociology and contem- porary affairs. Tli rough the social science department Boys’ State is organized each spring and provides a practical experience in government for every youthful citizen. A two-party system is set up, and all voters are registered. Then ward caucuses are held to name 38 delegates to the general party conventions where candidates for office are elected. After a spirited campaign fifteen boys are chosen to take a week’s trip to Iowa Boys’ State at Des Moines. Class officers who appoint committees and super- vise all senior activities are elected each semester, and thus every student is given another lesson in practical democracy — free voting, the closed ballot, majority rule — government OF the people! These elections are conducted under the supervision of the social science teachers. By knowing our nation’s history and how our government is run, in comparison with totalitarian- ism, socialism or communism, we come to realize just how precious democracy is and that it is worth fight- ing for to preserve.

TO WIDELY READ WITH SENSE AND SPEED LIBRARY “Books are the keys to wisdom’s treasures!” For required reference reading and personal re- laxation we turn to the quiet atmosphere of the library where we find books fertile sources of knowledge and pleasure. For promotions in this student army we must work, and there’s no better place than the library where long tables are always occupied by ambiti- ous students, eager for advancement, and study- ing to achieve it. Guided by Mrs. Davie and Mrs. Rodler, we put to use the encyclopedias and source books for classroom reports; we read newspapers and maga- zines to keep jxisted on world events; we revel in the essays of Stephen Leacock and compile bib- liographies on silkworms. Questions asked in the library would make a unique book themselves—ranging from “How do you build a birdcage?” to “Who is the foreign minister of Paraguay?” Below: A studious scene in the library. Straight backs and sturdy muscles — quick reactions and physical prowess — all these are qualities vital to the pro- gram of building better, healthier soldiers and civilians, and are obtainable in the physical education department and Re- serve Officers’ Training Corps. Every boy and girl participates in either gym or R.O.T.C. training. In the former they participate in volleyball, basketball, baseball, ping-pong, shuffle- board and a wide variety of athletic activities under the leadership of the trio shown above. Inter-class and intra-mural tourna- ments are conducted in such sports as hockey, volleyball, and ping-pong. Stroll down to the George Edward Marshall gymnasium any morning or afternoon, before or after regular school hours, and you’ll see a table-tennis game in action, boys shooting baskets on the main floor and running record-makers busy on the practice track. Soldiers of tomorrow are preparing to- day. There can be no better training than basic science and tactics and actual drilling and marching as followed in R.O.T.C. Uniformed and alert are the command- ing officers of the unit, seen in the picture at the right. Below: R.O.T.C. Instructor : Sgt. Ter- rance Vangcn. Major John R. Clark. Mas- ter Sergeant D. II.

ORCHESTRA “Nero fiddled while Rome burned” and many fiddlers in the high school orchestra probably would enjoy doing the same thing today. While the orchestra had not directly con- tributed to national morale as the band has with its parades, it did present a concert in December. Many members of the orchestra were in string ensembles that entered the state contest at Oskaloosa May 1 and 2. “Mort”, as Mr. Mortiboy is known to his students, has command of the orchestra most of the time, but his assistant, Mr. Schaefer, is on hand to take over in case “Mort” is gone. Top Sergeant Schaefer gives special instruction to the strings. “American Unity Through Music.’’ Musi- cians at the Music Educators’ National con- ference recently adopted that phrase as their motto to be used during the present crisis. Not only do America’s maestros recognize the importance of their business, but the government says that music is an essential part in national defense, and twice President Roosevelt has asked for more parades of marching bands and more concerts. Keeping in step with the times is the high school band under the command of “General’’ Mortiboy. “Mort” announces that a band will be maintained this summer for one reason— to provide the needed music for this com- munity. “There’ll l e more parades, more public performances as the President has asked. It’s the least we can do,’’ he says. There are almost 100 enlisted in this or- ganization, and each semester many stand in line hoping to pass the rigid entrance exam- ination.

Though the sound of marching feet usually follows this com- mand, in D.H.S. it is answered by more than 120 voices lifted in song. This vocal army is under the command of “General” Kent Gannett who, by increasing the volume of the big guns (basses), or adjusting the direction of the rifle fire (sopra- nos), succeeds in getting the cooperation of all the forces. Vocal victories are won by contests and programs, and the department has received its share of them. In entertainment they are excel- lent; for achievement they strive. The crucial and most glorious vocal battle took place January 14, and is considered the best pro- gram presented. This was George Kleinsinger’s “I Hear America Singing” based on Walt Whit- man’s poem. In it the a’cappella and advanced choruses were the soldiers of the front trenches. The vocal department introduced two new cos- tume groups during the presentation. The madri- gal singers, dressed in costumes of the sixteenth century, are composed of the girls’ sextet and the boys’ quartet. The folk song singers wear cos- tumes that represent South Americans, Dutch, Indians, Russians, Spanish, Irish, Czechs, and gypsies.

This program added another success to the list of vocal victories. Again the advanced and a’cappella choruses participated. A meeting of the general staff (a contest for schools throughout Iowa), held at Oskaloosa, Iowa, April 30, May 1,-2 was attended by the madrigal singers, the boys’ quartet, the girls’ sextet, the girls’ glee club, and several soloists. The Davenport entries placed well in the event. On May 8 and 9, 120 members of the chorus and a’cappella at- tended a music festival in Burling- ton, Iowa. Here they were judged by Professor Van Duersen of the University of Michigan. They were also part of a mass chorus composed of students from Burlington, Waterloo, and Davenport.

Before the days of Pearl Harbor, we were already preparing for any emergency by pre- liminary army training, by studying the manual of arms and by rifle practice; and several, including Cadet Colonel Robert Kett- rick, couldn’t wait to get at the enemy, and joined the armed forces. Then during the off duty hours, the twelfth annual Military Ball on December 5 proved a complete success, and after the following fatal Sunday the whole unit “knuckled down” to more earnest study of theoretical subjects such as rifle marksmanship, military cour- tesy, sanitation, first aid, scouting and patrol- ling, musketry, map reading, and combat principles.

REVIEW The unit has been under the leadership this year of Major Clark, P.M.S. T.f his as- sistants, Master Sergeant Barlow and Ser- geant Vangen, who left for Fort Benning, Georgia, in February, and the cadet officers. Before reveille, the drill team and drum and bugle corps were up practicing new maneuvers and ‘did their stuff’ at the first annual Military Circus on May first. In preparing for the annual federal inspec- tion at Vandeveer park, physical training and general physical condition were consider- ed, as well as the regular theoretical require- ments and good appearance.

PUBLIC SPEAKING Through public speaking, students keep themselves informed, alert, and capable of intelligent discus- sion. To encourage the excellence which results from competition, many local and interscholastic con- tests are participated in during the year. Eighty members comprise the largest chapter in the school history of the National Forensic League, honorary speech organization. The fields of study are declamation, oratory, debate and extemporaneous speaking. Every student par- ticipates in all these and may also try out for special teams which make trips all over Iowa and Illinois. Opening the year was the annual girls’ declamation tournament here December 15. Out of over 120 entrants Virginia Thomasson won the dramatic division, and Louise Hilfman placed third in humorous. A similar tournament for boys was held January 24. The top places in oratory were copped by Don Rivkin, Fenn Horton, and Jerry Goldman. Herman Sitrick and John Vinall ranked second and third in dramatic declamation, and Duane Paulsen was third in humorous. After a week of competition, local finals were held November 25 to name representatives to the State and Iowa Nine contests. The former were Don Rivkin, Virginia Thomasson, and Beverly Ray. The lat- ter, in addition to Virginia and Beverly, were Rosemary Malloy, Barbara Chartier, Frances Hatchitt, 52 Louise Hilfman, Seymore Raben, John Vinall, Stuart Siegel, Duane Paulsen, Jerry Goldman, and Fenn Horton. Results of the state finals—a cham- pion for Davenport! Don Rivkin cap- tured his third state title in oratory at Traer February 6, Beverly Ray and Virginia Thomasson advanced as far as the sub-district and district con- tests respectively. First place went to the Boys’ Iowa Nine declamation team in the contest in Burlington December 8. Superior ratings and pins were awarded Sey- more Raben, Duane Paulsen, Jerry Goldman, and Fenn Horton. The Girls’ Iowa Nine team placed third February 2 in the contest in Oskaloosa with Vir- ginia Thomasson and Louise Hilfman winning pins. Pondering the question of compul- sory military training for all boys un- der 20, students “pro’d” and “con’d” 135 debates during December and Jan- uary. Top-notch persuaders were named to the tournament squad. It included affirmative—Seymore Raben, Beverly Ray, John Yager, Irma Sag- ner, Stanley Hill, Keith Doellinger, and Barbara Chartier, leader; negative: Don Rivkin, Rosemary Malloy, Warren Kuehl, Jeanette Johnson, Charles Witt, Duane Paulsen, and Louise Hilf- man, leader. A rapid-fire series of wins followed! Davenport took the second place tro- phy in the Galesburg pre-season meet on December 13. For the third suc- cessive year the feminine debaters emerged victorious in the Muscatine tournament January 10. Davenport won a dual meet with Maquoketa here January 14. Five ribbons for individual and team honors were earned at Waterloo Jan- uary 17 by Beverly Ray, John Yager, Irma Sagner, Patricia Jansen, and Les- ter ZifTren. The loss of one debate out of 14 cost Davenport the Augustana college tournament championship, and for the third consecutive year the squad has to be satisfied with the second place trophy. Over 28 schools entered the contest held February 6-7.

Then on the 27-28 came the district contest at Fairfield where Davenport placed second, thus qualifying for state finals. Ixxral contests were then conducted to determine state representatives in extemp and original oratory. The winners, Louise Hilfman and Seymore Raben, advanced to the district meet at Oskaloosa March 13 where Sey- more placed fourth and Louise second, also qualifying for state finals. Placing fourth in the state, the debaters wound up the season at the finals in Iowa City March 27-28. Don Riv- kin was the third highest individual speaker with a 1.6 average out of a possible 5.00, and Barbara Chartier re- ceived 4.00. Louise Hilfman finished third in state extemp finals, and Beverly Ray was named in the top ten radio speak- ers out of a field of over 120. Davenport’s other radio entrants were Stanley Hill and Rosemary Malloy. Second squad debaters had their “day” on March 21 when the annual tournament was held here. Davenport entered the winning team of Lawrence Dengler, Roger Nebergall, Jean Gillon, and John Yager, and the third place team composed of Warren Beenck, John Freund, Kathrine Dismer, and Bill Rada. The debate season over, extemp and original oratory took the spotlight in the meet here March 21, with Dav- enport winning both events. In oratory, Don Rivkin, Jerry Goldman, and Frances Ilatchitt were the top three. Barbara Chartier won extemp, followed by Beverly Ray in second place.

He won six successive rounds, including the state and regional titles, only to be eliminated by one point in {he sec- tional contest at Boon ville, Missouri April 14, thus finishing approximate- ly sixth in the country. On April 24 the Iowa Nine extemp and oratory contest was held at Fair- field. Davenport’s team returned vic- torious, permanent possessors of the league plaque by having won it for the third successive year. Superior ratings and Iowa Nine pins were awarded Barbara Chartier and Seymore Raben who competed in the extemporaneous speaking divi- sion. Stanley Hill and Beverly Ray won “excellent” ratings in extemp, as did Herman Sitrick and Lester ZifT- ren in original oratory. Besides participating in classes and contests, public speakers act as a Service Squad to make announce- ments and boost all school campaigns. They help organize Boys’ State cau- cuses and conventions. Four movies are sponsored during the year to raise funds for department activities. An auditorium program in May concluded the year with the formal presentation to the school of the tro- phies won, and the awarding of let- ters, pins, and N. F. L. degrees to out- standing members of the department. As we listen to the messages to the nation by our president, the crisp broadcasting of news by radio com- mentators, and the speeches of lead- ing Americans and patriots every- where, the importance of public speaking is continually brought to our minds. Now as never before is it important to “carry on” with speech work to prepare future congressmen, statesmen, lecturers, business men and citizens! The voice of America must be a powerful one!

Through the dark hours of the day, first, second and third class privates march through their mental maneuverings in eight divisions of scientific military re- search. At the sound of first call, 2100 “minute men” report for roll call at one of the 60 sub-headquarters (home-rooms) stationed at Camp D.H.S. where orders of the day are dispatched by commanding officials. The remaining time before actual combat fighting begins is spent in last minute cramming for intellectual knowledge as future ammunition. Frequently, orders of the day are dis- pensed with and the battalion gathers at central headquarters for recreation.

Morning maneuvers include the three sections devoted to drilling the soldiers in both body and mind. Recall is sounded at 11:44 and the troops gather at mess hall to gain brain food to help them carry on the battle for after- noon maneuvers. Afternoon conquests become too much for some combatants and they are caught napping while on duty (right). At 3:30 the bugler sounds recall and the privates leave for a 17 hour leave at the end of which they will” be back for the orders and battle of the next day. However, those draftees caught A.W.O.L. by commanding Officer Volkens are put in concentration camps for half an hour extra duty. A bat c: Sleeping dog pares Knglish literature class.

What better way is there to preserve both the fighting and civilian forces’ morale than to present shows to them that divert human minds from the awful thing that goes on about them? To the cause of helping morale then, the D.H.S. dramatics department might dedi- cate its efforts. The dramatics department is commandered by three leaders—Miss Mae Elma Wicks, Mrs. Olivette Holmes Kraschel, and Mr. Ronald Hopkins and they need no M.P.’s to enforce their orders. Three plays were presented this year. The first all-school play in D.H.S. history, “The Night of Jan- uary 16”, was presented November 4. The “stand- ing room only” sign hung in the auditorium that night. So great was its success, a second perform- ance was given later. mESPIANS MORALE Right: Mr. Ilopkin� giving in !ruction� to the cast of “Night Mint Fall. Another “first” in D.H.S. dramatics was the annual speech dramatics play, “Night Must Fall.” This play, the first ever scheduled for a two-night run, played April 14 and 15. May 22 was the date of the senior class play. It was Moliere’s “Imaginary Inva- lid,” a three-act comedy. For this “last act” the seniors did their best. War cast a shadow' over some plans for play festivals. Because of housing condi- tions at Iowa City, the Annual Iowa State High School play festival was cancelled. D.H.S. players had been preparing “The Duchess Says Her Prayers.” March 28 marked the date of an inter- pretive reading festival at the University of Iowa. Helen Kuttler, Jean Ann Zoeck- ler, and Patte Meahl represented Daven- port. The beginning acting class participated in the Civic Theater One-act Play Festival. They presented “Happy Journey” on May 7. In the dramatics course a student learns what goes on “back stage” as well as “out front.” For work as “spies,” the make-up course is a good starter. Both girls and boys learn to wield a mean hammer by practice in making and painting scenery. In D.H.S. dramatics doesn’t mean just acting, but learning all about the theater. The set builders of today will be the mor- ale builders of tomorrow. Above: A thrilling moment during the enactment of “Night Muit Fall , left to right: Janet Duff;-. Dick Steckel, Ann Neill.

JANUARY GRADS CITIZENS OF TOMORROW Marching onward onto a new phase of their lives, one hundred and eight graduates last January portrayed their ambitions and hopes for “tomorrow” by presenting a pageant, “The Temple of the Future,” on January 23, in the high school auditorium, when com- mencement exercises were held. The temple was built of fourteen blocks representing various character builders in young men’s and women’s lives. These blocks were: Home, the cradle of civilization; School, the second cornerstone in our lives and America’s noblest contribution; Love, one of the great- est needs of our lives; Health, which concerns all people; Tolerance, which grows out of love for our fellowmen; Truth, without which life could avail us nothing; Ideals, that in- fluence all life; Skill, which starts the road to success; Faith, giving us a purpose in life; Brotherhood, the spirit of teamwork; Citizenship, the backbone of the nation; Culture, mental and moral enlightening; Character, the keystone for the building of the future; and Democracy, our very way of life. Nineteen seniors participated in the pageant writ- ten by Mrs. Kraschel, expression instructor. Immediately following Commencement was the glorious finish to graduation—the Sen- ior Prom. On the committee for planning the dance were Dick Maehr, chairman; Phil Leman, Ed Ohland, Bob Kettrick, and Dick Froeschle. Dean Philbrook conducted Baccalaureate services at the Trinity Cathedral, Sunday, Jan- uary 18. There was a senior class mixer, January 20. The theme of the party was “Hard Times,” and all the “guys” and “gals” arrived in overalls and calico dresses. 62 EDWARD B. ACKLEY, Esquire”. Majored in journalism. JEANNE ALTER, Jo”.

Queen Charlotte was presented her royal Homecoming trophy during the pep “aud” at general headquarters. The remaining eleven girls, including her four royal attendants, were given gold compacts for their achievements. Large yellow chrysanthemums were presented to the royal mistress and her four attendants to wear as marks of distinction and honor. In spite of the rainy and chilly weather the annual Homecoming parade began at 3:30. Queen Charlotte and her four attendants ma- jestically headed the procession with a police Ili-Y Prr id«nt Art Dai- ley and Quern Charlotte Thuenen. escort.

Student battalion’s float carrying girls holding good luck symbols won second. Privates dressed as Blue Devils stirred up Clinton’s River Kings with their evil forks for Art club’s third place. Spanish troop’s float carrying pri- vates dressed in native clothes won fourth. Fifth place was awarded to the Dramatic’s divi- sion for their float representing a Hollywood set. At four, the queen and her attendants were rushed to the broadcasting station to be heard by their loyal subjects. Each was given an opportunity to talk over WOC. The royal Homecoming banquet, in honor of the queen, was held at the Outing Club at 6:30. Queen Charlotte invited all her subjects that were interested to join her and her attendants in the royal dinner. Koyal parly pausing through Ihc saber arch at the Homecoming dance.

When the bugler sounds “retreat” the young soldiers’ fancies turn to thoughts of recreation which is furnished to the cadets in the all troop activities maneuvered in the evenings at camp recreational rooms. Mass production was in full swing at the year’s annual minstrel show (upper left) sponsored by the band. Blackouts were prac- ticed on the battalion’s faces and they gave out with the latest songs and jokes. Com- manding Officers Collins, Hopkins, Nelson, Sissel (middle left) took active duty in the production by demonstrating what happens at women’s card parties. First class privates are pictured (upper right) in their uniforms as they are being presented their hard earned honorable dis- charges from service at Camp D. H. S. by Mr. Henry Jebens, president of the school board. A pageant demonstrating the build- ing blocks of democracy was presented at the January Commencement exercises. Drilling pep into the ranks at camp audi- torium periods are the cheerleaders shown going through part of their maneuvers. All divisions turned out for the Military Ball at the Masonic Temple. Girl cadets wore formals and boy cadets were attired in R.O. T.C. uniforms, tuxedos, and civilian clothes. Decorations filled the room (lower right). Call for duty summoned retired first class privates (right lower middle) to their hard times party where the usual camp uni- forms were replaced by some old ones that were dug out from the home barracks.

Using typewriters and skill in writing as their main line of defense, this corps of Journalistic geniuses advances to the front with a blitzkreig of words against enemy propaganda. Only privates of high journalistic rank are inducted into the Frank Luther Mott chapter of this club. New members were drafted in January and June, and passed through the line of fire into formal initiation. Official duties for this honorary society were carried out by President Jean Krabbenhoeft, assisted by staff officers Genevieve Bruns, vice-president, and Bev- erlie Young, secretary-treasurer. Major campaign of the year was the Press Conference in October, held in the barracks of D.H.S. with ten visiting schools and twelve discussion leaders. D.H.S. went over the top in capturing two firsts and two second prizes in the news con- tests. The corps also sponsored the annual Publications’ banquet in June. Behind the lines of the D.H.S. armed fighting forces, these “gentlemen of the press” carry on with official communiques and dispatches — a regiment of citi- zen soldiers ready for action with a battery of words and phrases. 2uiU and Scnxdl 76 How 1. left lo right: Dolores Hnnbc.

In their crusades for high ranks these writers of tomorrow march through the ordeal of battle and emerge with few casualties. The forty-five privates, with Miss Johnstone and Miss Kahl in command, spon- sor and write their own programs. Officers of the first semester were Ann Neill, president; Orville Rennie, vice- president; Ruth Stremlow, secretary; Albert Petersen, treasurer; Dick Steckel, program chairman. In the spring the following were promoted to fill the respec- tive offices: Warren Kuehl, Lois Buhmann, Teddy Casey, Richard Prose and Walter Navin. These proficient propaganda-killers uphold camp tradition by entering contests and coming out victorious. At the call to arms they march on the warpath of words and pitch their tents on all fields, including poetry, essays, plays and short stories. With banners flying, several members’ dispatches won prizes and recognition in newspapers and school programs. Because of this flying banner of intelligence. Quill club deserves a snappy salute from each D.H.S. private. 2uiU 77 Row 1. front to bark: Carl Campbell. Ed Fleming. Joyce Day. Don Caullng. Kenny Anderaon, Brian Hinton.

Familiar to every member of the Dramatics club are these call words. They symbolize tactics of hard work, as amateur players come from behind the lines and advance to tented fields of pro- fessional dramatics. CALL FOR ENLISTMENT — Under the official name of Dramatics club, this training unit of volunteer forces includes only privates of high rank in dramatics. For enlistment and initiation, new members need to show ability in speaking, reading and acting, for the regulation of lines plays a major part in defensive dramatic action. CALL TO ORDER — Thirty “sentinels of the stage” were called to order at monthly assembly by Presidents Katie Schroeder, fall, and Ann Neill, spring. Other official duties were carried out by Vice-president Betty Christensen, and the official record guard for two semesters, Sally Hiegel. CALL FOR DRILL — Besides fighting battles of brains on the stage, club members have other maneuvers for the duration. They reached highest rank this year in being rated as members of National Thespians. To this unit of intelligent stage interpreters goes a salute to uphold the tradi- tions of the theatre and army — “Carry on!” DRAMATICS CLUB 78 ART CLUB Row 1. left to right: Donald Clymer.

Composed of approximately thirty-five privates and commanded by Miss Sue Simi, they proudly advance to the front and call themselves “art promoters.” Passing in review, officers of the first semester were Grace Carson, president; Bonnie Nighswander, vice-president; Gerald Williams, secretary; Georgia Nighs- wander, treasurer. During the year, morale of the art-illary was boosted by visiting officials. With eyes to the front and chests out, the battalion received important dispatches on their art campaigns by such guests as Miss Ella Preston, Miss Meyer and Mrs. Fred Hinrichsen. Other maneuvers included decorating a Homecoming float, taking “leaves of absence” to the Art Gallery, and learning the regulations of maneuvering mar- ionettes. The color guard of the spring semester was Gerald Williams, president; Betty Knecht, vice-president; Grace Carson, secretary; Louise Peterson, treasurer. Spring tactics included a drill in cartooning and a talk by Mr. Wallace Ger- hardt, of the Blackhawk Camera club, who bolstered defenses by speaking on “Art in Photography.” To this regiment of “strategy sketchers” goes the duty of commanding an un- breakable line of art defense in the important war maneuvers of camp D.H.S. 79 hauurn.

These disciplinarians of tomorrow’s ranks are enrolled in the D.H.S. training corps, re- ceiving important dispatches on teacher training from their commandant, Miss Wallace. Official duties were performed at General Headquarters during the year by Darlene Cale and Lois Hoffbauer. As vice-presidents, Ora Mae Moeller and Phyllis Drechsler took office, with Nelda Holland and Dorothy Oelerich in charge of the official records. Other posts were filled by Catherine Yocum and Dorothy Lorber, historians, and Phyllis Baustian and Roberta Mohr, treasurers. Field and battle tactics for the duration included campaigning for Homecom- ing, with Darlene Cale as Queen candidate, and programs planned by the Intel- ligence department. As an order of battle against hostilities, morale was bolstered by recreation in the form of parties. An initiation and picnic was held at the YWCA barracks in the fall, and during the Christmas leave, official duties were forgotten as the teacher cadets answered mess call at a Yuletide party. From taps to reveille, this corps of future teachers is on the march, maneuver- ing drills in Normal training, and getting the disciplinary situation “well in hand.” NoswugI Club 80 Kow 1, led to right: Marjorie Muh� .

The right Hank, through drill maneuverings and practice K.P. duty, turns domestic-minded privates into super- efficient mess sergeants. The left flank believes in fighting their own battles with the department sewing machines. In command during the fall were Betty Robison, president; Inna Sagner, vice- president; Marge Hoffman, secretary-treasurer. During the spring the following were promoted from the ranks to preside over the monthly meetings: Beulah Nelson, president; Beatrice Glaspell, vice-president; Margaret Finch, secretary- treasurer. The major event of the year was the annual Christmas party for Orphans’ Home children, who were given stuffed animals made by the club. In the fall, the members successfully carried out a campaign and sold 1,000 D.H.S. book covers. At the Press Conference banquet in October, sixteen members served as waitresses on K.P. duty. Acting as mess sergeants for 2,000 privates and 50 field officers in the D.H.S. army is a big order, but leave it to the Jane Addams club to “Keep ’em Cooking!” fjatte Addlcunl Club Kow -I: Helen Cherry.

Old Latin songs fill the air and toga-clad figures greet the soldiers. In 1942 there is again the sound of marching feet. This time the column moves toward room A, military base of Latin club. One hundred privates assemble for Comitum Romanum, with Latin skits and songs during the meeting. In charge of these non-combatant “milites” was a corps of Latin scholars headed by Charles Schorr in the fall and Marian Wuestenfeld in the spring. Assisted by a staff of field officers, they carried out official duties and “res militaris” for the club. The fall staff was Agnes Crissey, Teddy Casey, Virginia Hinrichsen, and Bar- bara Fischbeck. During the spring Ann Bates, Betty Lou Schmidt, Virginia Hin- richsen, Marilyn Ruth Miller and Deloris Newell took command of the forces. Major maneuver of the year was the Roman-style banquet in April to com- memorate Latin Week. For four years of distinguished service Betty Christensen, Ruth Trainer, Marian Wuestenfeld, Agnes Crissey, Earl Roberts and Barbara Fischbeck were honorably discharged and awarded pins.

Heading this corps of senors and senoritas for the fall semester were Lawrence Howell, and his staff officers, Phyllis Crowl, vice-president; Jacqueline Urmy, secretary; and Charles Schorr, treasurer. Orders from headquarters installed Charles Schorr as president and Ernest Howell as treasurer during the spring semester, the others remaining the same. Comprising the largest unit in the D.H.S. armed forces, under the command of Miss Meyer, the club has gone through ordeals of battle and emerged with victory and banners flying in several major cam- paigns.

Ready for any action that confronts Camp D.H.S. is the French club, “Le Cer- cie Francais.” With thirty privates behind the guns, the club is ready to combat on any blitz of brains. It bravely survives hostilities by remaining “on guard”, but is always prepared for troop mobilization. In command the first semester was Eleanor Rodgers, president, with “aides-de- camp” Genevieve Bruns, vice-president; Jean Krabbenhoeft, secretaire; and Phil- na Jacobi, tresorier. In the fall these learned linguists fortified defenses by holding a pot-luck sup- per at Patte Meahl’s. In Homecoming operations, the club was represented on the parade grounds with a French float made by the construction crew, and cam- paigned for Helen Nickless for Homecoming queen. The club is a division of the Quad-City French Council, composed of eleven quad-city units. Major event of the year was the annual banquet, sponsored by the Davenport unit, at which Mile. Marjorie Holbert, 16-year-old French refugee, was the guest speaker. From the line of vision, defensive drills included two French movies at Council Headquarters. “Camaval en Flandres” and “La Vie de Beethoven” were dis- patched to units of these fugitives from French, in October and April. Sentinels of the language in the spring were Philna Jacobi, president; Lois Fahrner, vice-president; Marijane Purvis, secretaire; Ann Bates, tresorier. Upholding their unit’s tradition was the picnic held at Credit Island in May, with enemy observation and defensive campaigning forgotten as the privates as- sembled at final call to arms. Semester reveille found a thoroughly exhausted army of French-fortifiers on parade grounds of Camp D.H.S. At the last call-tc action, reports were favorably dispatched and members were dismissed from active duty until first call again in September. fyn nch Club 84 Row 1. left lo right: Mr. ftou. faculty advUcr; Albert Rodrigo.

The first meet- ing in the fall, and the service corps of the D.H.S. armed forces was summoned to military duty. ROLL CALL — With forty service-minded R.O.T.C. cadets present at monthly meetings, the club this year almost topped all previous memberships. ORDERS OF THE DAY — At every meeting, orders were given by the officer- of-the-day, who had charge of all martial law within the ranks. Don Thenhaus had chief command during the fall, and Al Aegerter during the spring. Other officers for the two semesters were, respectively: Vice President, Mac Heysinger, Don Thenhaus; Sec’y-Treasurer, Ed Lamprecht (two terms); Sergeant-at-Arms, Al Aegerter, Kenneth Geiger. First semester faculty adviser was Mr. Young; Mr. Goss took over in the spring. DRILL MANEUVERINGS — The most important duty of the club members is acting as sentinels doing “guard duty” at the doors of the aud, gym, and Brady St. stadium for most of the major events at D.H.S. throughout the vear. The boys also served as military escorts. CAMPAIGN DRILLING — Campaigns were mapped out for the annual Home- coming celebration during October. In April, plans were made by a six-man com- mission for transferring the club into a more social organization. At this time, a Constitution was drafted. RECREATION — During the Christmas “leave of absence' the club members were guests at a Yuletide party given by the Jane Addams club. During the year, the monthly meetings took the place of social activities. Service for the en- tire school seems to be their motto. B uuce 85 STUDENT CLUB Row J. left to right: Jeanette Stott� .

While other school events lean to the serious side, this club, from taps to reveille, also keeps up its aim of satisfying the members’ social and recreational desires. ON DUTY — Members kept to the serious side with meetings conducted in the form of personality discussions, vocational studies, and religious forums. Once a month officers’ call was held with four officers and 16 reserve members holding council with club adviser Willa Hind at the Y.W.C.A., the club’s military base. Officials for the year were Charlotte Thuenen, president; Marian Wuestenfeld, vice-president; Gertrude Siegmund, secretary; Betty Christensen, treasurer. OFF DUTY — Getting official leave from regular duties, the girls enjoyed vari- ous social activities during the year. Maior events were: a V-Conscription party for new members. Tin Can Supper with the Hi-Y, Pa-Ma-Me banquet, Christmas Pageant, and Slumber party held at Headquarters in January. In March a style show was presented by the quartermaster corps, proving that modern design is not only found on land, in the air, and on the sea, but also at D.H.S. During Holy Week, Student club and Hi-Y together conducted religion in the ranks with church services held at St. John’s Methodist church. 86 Like a Hag of truce, the Hi-Y, with headquarters at the Y.M.C.A. stands out like a military mast and proudly waves its banner for ability as a service organi- zation. Its purpose is to create, maintain and extend throughout the high school and community the high standards of Christian character. It defends the tradi- tion of clean speech, sportsmanship, scholarship and living. REPORTS: Action commendable; troops exhausted .... By tactics of the regiment, flanked by other divisions, the Hi-Y mobilized all man power and blitzed Homecoming on the combat field. This maneuver, spon- sored by Hi-Y, is responsible for the camp spirit which puts soldiers behind the guns to finish off the enemy at the game. Carrying out their purpose, these snappy-shooters blasted away by sponsoring Club Sahara on New Year’s Eve. Still ready for action and on the offensive, they issued an “appeal to arms” and held the “Defense Stomp” in April, boosting their rating by donating proceeds to the Red Cross. Joining the crusade with Student club, the Hi-Y co-sponsored Holy Week ser- vices, as well as attending mess call — a Tin-Can supper with the Student club privates. Company dismissed; officers recalled .... After being on the march all year these fighting fortifiers” took leave to Camp Abe Lincoln in June, where all senior orderlies were honored and the 1942 Fall Staff was elected. Passing in review, the staff officers, commanded by C. W. Hach and Max Clow- ers, were: Fall semester, Art Dailey, president; Bob Lothringer, vice-president; Elmer Copley, chaplain; Art Burry, sergeant-at-arms; Don Montgomery, secre- tary; Bill Mulford, treasurer. Spring semester: Don Montgomery, Dave Lennon, Dick Pearson, Paul Peters, Don Shawver, Roger Olson. Program chairman for both semesters was Homer Fleming. After two semesters of extensive drills, campaigns, and maneuvers, all privates received 3-month furloughs, with orders to be ready for immediate action on all fronts at furlough’s end.

This girls’ unit is the only club that goes over the top on physical fitness. To enlist, girls must have regulation 50 points earned in athletics, and are presented with awards at semester reveille for reaching the 500 mark. AT THE BARRACKS! — Monthly meetings were called to order by President Nellie Sampson and her “aides-de-camp”, Shirley Beckman, vice-president, and Alberta Anderson, secretary. In command of these citizen soldiers are Miss Pat- terson and Miss Gibson. In January and September, freshmen were inducted at rush-parties with the new recruits marching through the line of battle to become members. Major campaign of the season was the “Spinster’s Spree,” held at the barracks, which was a financial success. Girls bought everything for their dates from a novel corsage to refreshments at the canteen. ON MANEUVERS! — To the sound of martial music and tramping feet the G.A.A. float, “V for Victory and D.H.S.” blazed its way to the front in the Home- coming parade. G.A.A. went over the top with Gwynne Portwood elected as an attendant. Units of G.A.A. privates broke the defenses of civilians by selling tickets in the downtown district for the Red Cross game and football drive. Final “appeal to arms” was at Credit Island in the spring where awards were presented to those who had escaped casualties and gone through the line of fire to earn sufficient points.

H. S. football history— that’s the modest claim of the 1941 cam- paign. Capping the many outstanding achieve- ments was the fact that the Blue Devil gridders waded through a tough campaign unbeaten and untied for the first time in Jesse Day’s enviable 18 year regime. Nine opponents fell by the wayside as the powerful Davenport aggregation paced by two all-staters, Dick Meier, hard-run- ning back, and Co-captain Lyle Ebner, brilliant guard, swept to titles in every conference in which they performed for the second straight year. L«ft to right: Co-captains Lyle Ebnor and Bob Lemm. Picking up where the ’40 gridders left off, this “dream team” hailed the tops in Iowa’s prep football circles, extended the D. H. S. win- ning streak to 17 straight. They took the title in the Mississippi Valley confer- ence, the Quad-city confer- ence and the City crown through their win over St. Ambrose academy. Alert quarterbacking, speed to bum, backfield power and a stonewall line were the prime attributes of the starting eleven. Re- serve material was so plen- tiful and of such high cali- bre that Coach Day could have started either of two veteran teams for practic- ally every contest. Much of the credit for such an out- standing season is due to the four-man coaching staff and Notre Dame style of play, both introduced here at the start of the ’40 sea- son and producing spectac- ular results.

An average record of four wins, three losses, and a tie went into the record book as the 1941 accomplishment of the Daven- port high school sophomore football eleven under the tutelage of Coaches Bill Rosing and Doug Atkins. John Thomas, stocky Negro halfback, and “Big Bill” Paulsen, operating both at tailback and in the signal-calling slot, were the running stars of the Blue Devil yearling team. Paulsen was elected honorary captain. A solid front line supplied the backfield men with capable interference throughout the tough, eight game campaign. Bob Shulz and Bill Hofer stood out at the wing posts while Jack Hammond, Tom Loufek, Kenny Imming and Bob Spalding per- formed ably in the center of the forward wall. Dick Nelson and Richard Rodriquez also shared the ball-handling spotlight. Lyons’ varsity spoiled the season’s opener, 12-0, and things looked dark following a 6-0 setback at Dubuque, but then the Imp underclassmen rolled up three wins around a 7-7 deadlock and split even in the final two contests.

An exciting moment as Dick Meier goes high for a rebound. Jack Spen- cer. 2t, is in the foreground. 93 Coach Paul Moon sent his charges through a gruelling, 21 game regular season with but three blots on the slate, dropping close ones to Rock Island, Moline, and Nevada, all of which were later aveng- ed. They annexed the City cham- pionship, a tie for top in the Quad City Loop, and fin- ished undefeated to rule the Mississippi Valley conference.

The Bulldogs couldn’t miss the hoop and astounded even their most ardent rooters with a 37-30 victory. Jack Spencer landed a berth on the first All- state team for the second straight year to salvage « '9 4 considerable of the fallen prestige. Other key members of Coach Moon’s top dozen included Pee Wee Day, Wayne Kelling, Dick Meier, Eugene Baker, Roger Crow, and Bill McGuire. Jim Hogue played stellar ball until his mid-year graduation. Lawrence “Fats” Day, Dick Anderson, Bob Shulz, Bill Paulsen and Hank Andrew—the latter three in their sophomore year—also figured prom- inently in the finals at Des Moines. The Blue Devil soph squad went the varsity cagers two better during the regular campaign, dropping just one contest in a lengthy schedule, that a two-pointer to Moline. Bob Shulz, Bill Paulsen, and Hank Andrew led the charges of Coach Clem Bridge to the local mentor’s most successful season at D. H. S.

GRAPPLERS Wrestlers at Davenport high enjoyed a mediocre season during the 1941-’42, listing no out- standing achievements in the state tournaments but managing to make good showings against powerful opposing squads throughout regular season meets. The number one man on Coach 0. E. Johnson’s squad on the basis of winning consistency was Co-captain Eddie Bachelder who spilled 15 consecutive opponents in dual competition before Han- son of Oehvein decisioned him in the tough Oelwein district meet. In spite of this defeat, Bach- elder qualified for the state finals at West Waterloo. The veteran 123-pounder was the sole Blue Devil in the finals and lost out to Behrens of Osage by one point in a gruelling double overtime match. Coach Johnson and Assistant Coach Doug Atkins, following the loss of several outstanding grapplers of the previous campaign, sent a largely rebuilt squad into the season’s grind. Among the other dependable “grunt-and-groan” specialists were Don Palmer, Richard Rodriquez, Kenn Imming, Walter Cast, Ken- ny Perkins, Bob Allmen- dinger, Werner Kroeger, and Jim O’Connor. Melvin Bowker, star 112-pounder, lessened the team’s strength with his mid-year gradua- tion, a like occurrence tak- ing the 145-pounder Don Johnson. Two of the best meets from a Davenport stand- point were the return en- gagement with powerful Maquoketa and the encoun- ter with favored East Wa- terloo. The Blue Devil wrestlers upset both of these squads with impres- sive demonstrations. Keeping up the tradition, they won their own quad- rangular invitational to pre- serve their unbroken vic- tory string in that annual afTair and start the season out right.

ALONG THE CINDER TRACK The 1912 Blue Devil track aggregation proved itself one of the top outfits in the state, in keeping up to the standard developed by all D. H. S. athletic teams dur- ing the outstanding 1942 season. Paced by a trio of captains and their leading point snatcher, Wally Peterson, the thinly-clads of Coach Jessie Day ran circles around most of the teams that they faced. John Kroeger, one of the three leaders, turned in some enviable demonstrations in the shot put and dis- cus throw during the fruitful campaign. Dick Pearson, plagued early with a pulled muscle, nevertheless was the backbone of the strong two-mile relay foursome besides standing out as a half-miler. The other tri- captain, John Baxter, picked up in the mile run where he left off last year with a record breaking race in the State Indoor carnival. He also ran on Day’s track mile relay quartet. Peterson starred in the hurdles, century dash and broad jump to rate number one man on a well-balanced veteran crew. Other ace performers on the squad in- cluded the two Negro stars, Horace Peeples in the high jump and relay events, and Clarence Bassett in the 100-yard dash and relays. Delmar Riefe, Don Glenn and John Markham also starred on relay teams. Right. I«ft right: Bob Ko- prurki, Dick Peanmn.

From the returning veterans of the previous state cham- pionship nine, Baseball Coach Merle “Midge” Makeever again fashioned one of the classiest prep baseball teams to grace an Iowa high school diamond. The 1942 aggregation was studded with seasoned per- formers who put together their famed hitting power and brilliant pitching ability to terrorize the ranks of the oppo- sition. Captain Eddie Francis proved himself every bit a capable leader with stellar pitching demonstrations no less effective than his prowess with the old shillalah. Francis was not alone in the twirling limelight, however, as Coach Makee- ver’s mound corps also included the veteran portsider Art Goettsch, hefty Don Dietz, and Jack Spencer of basketball renown who was in his initial year with the baseball team. An excellent backstopping duo of Dick Ceperly and Don Makeever guided the moundsmen through the campaign. The Blue Devils’ “murderer’s row” consisted of the practic- ally flawless infield combination. John Brooks was the regu- lar third-sacker and clean-up man Bob Erps played out- standing ball at shortstop. Kenny Perkins alternated at the keystone corner with Pee Wee Day, who vacated his normal left-field post. and Makeever held down the ini- tial sack along with Wayne Hauschild who also patrolled right-field. Dave Showalter played considerably in left- field, while Wayne Kelling rounded out this fearsome aggregation with regular duty in center field. Although most of the Blue Devil foes were vanquished with ease as usual, a host of capable understudies were on hand to do their bit. The Blue Devils entered the 1942 season sporting the state championship crown for the two previous years and with a record of 21 consecu- tive wins. They extended this to 22 with an 11-0 con- quest of Calamus in the opener, roared on at the expense of a ’41 state finalist, Packwood, 18 to 6, and in their third encounter made it 24 in a row by blanking Olin, 9-0. Captain Kd Francis delivers a fast one to his catcher. Shortstop Bob Krps does a little stretching to recover a wild one in practice. 98 T E N N I S The tennis squad, after getting off on the wrong foot because of a 9-0 grand slam loss to Burlington in the season's opening match, picked up from there and went on to record a better than average record during the 1942 campaign. Coach Forrest Sissel had scant seasoned players from which to develop his team and fashioned the top combination around the nucleus of only two aces — Captain Paul Imig and Don Moeller. The Blue Devil “racketeers” bounced back from the Burlington rout to outpoint Rock Island 5-4 for their initial victory of the cam- paign. While those two turned in stellar perform- ances, another veteran star, Lloyd Koehler, was carding himself a fine record during one of Davenport’s better years. Among the lesser lights, but still bulwark- ing the top foursome, were Alex Matheson and Ted Lorenzen, both hitting a consistent pace in their two-man struggle to land the fourth spot for each meet.

On the whole, though, Coach Sissel ranks the '42 campaign among the most successful enjoyed by D. II. S. net enthusiasts. ★ ★ ★ A veteran studded golf team carried the Red and Blue aspirations through a prosperous 1942 campaign that saw the linksmen of Coach Russell Bickford take the measure of most of their touted opponents. After only a mediocre season the previous year, Coach Bickford brought his team up as a respected power in state golf circles with their decisive, clear-cut wins. Ray Bawden, a seasoned performer of many an eventful links campaign, proved to be about the best that the Imps could display with his steady, season-long playing always not far from the master round, par. Long-hitting Bob Antonopolis, another vet- eran links star, was also one of the top men on the powerful D. H. S. greens organization with dependable, point-producing exhibitions throughout one of the most lengthy schedules with which a Davenport golf squad has con- tended. ★ ★ starters, and during the course of the season waylaid more than one highly regarded second squad of opposing schools. Jack Theodoropoulas will probably, through virtue of steady rounds in the ’42 schedule, be the top man for Coach Bickford's 1943 ag- gregation. Bob Gardner and Bob Waterman were the next best bets during the season. June cluas officer� : Top center. John Baxter, president: middle left. John Kroecer. vice president; middle rich!.

JUNE GRADS LEADERS OF TOMORROW On June 2, 1942, four hundred fifty-six seniors trod their last steps in Davenport High School. Before proud mothers and dads and uncles and aunts, each paraded across the platform, groped at the “sheepskin” tied with red and blue ribbons, and prayed he’d get down the opposite steps without tripping. It was the happy end to a story of 12 distinct chapters. Two days before, “the 456” had heard their Baccalaureate address. After commencement was all over there was one mad rush for home and “Prom” clothes. On the committee for planning the Senior Prom were: Ed Higgins, chairman: Helen Nickless, Don Sitz, Bettie Westphal, Don Montgomery, and Philna Jacobi. The announcement committee consisted of Paul Josinger, chairman; Marian Wuesten- feld, Lois Eutsler, Agnes Crissey, Don Thenhaus, and Dick Pearson. For the ticket committee, Don Rivkin, chairman; Charles Schorr, Helen Kuttler, Bob Lothringer, Rose Day, and Bonnie Nighswander. Tad James and Warren Boudinot headed the social committee with Delmar Riefe, Mar- lin Fellner, Roger Krakow, Bob Lemm, and Virginia Thomasson assisting. “The Imaginary Invalid,” a three-act costume comedy by Moliere, was presented Fri- day, May 22, in the high school auditorium by members of the senior class under the di- rection of Miss Wicks, English and expression instructor. 100 FLORENCE ADAMS.
