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.

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!
