Our children were never known to cry of hunger, and no stranger — red or white — was permitted to enter our lodges without finding food and rest. Our nation was respected by all who came in contact with it, for we had the ability as well as the courage to defend and maintain our rights of territory, person, and property against the world. Then, indeed, was it an honor to be called a Sauk, for that name was a passport to our people traveling in other territories and among other nations. Thus spoke Black Hawk, chief of the Sauks, before the war council on the Iowa River in 1832. That which was true of Black Hawk’s own Indian nation can be spoken of another great nation — the United States of America — within whose boundaries live a powerful, happy, and united people — whose children live in a land of plenty — and who opens the golden door for those yearning to breathe free.” The people of this nation have the courage, and the ability to defend and maintain their rights against the evil forces which may arise. It is, indeed, an honor to be called an American — one of a great nation respected throughout the world. So to this early American, Black Hawk, in whose mind took form so long ago these ideals of democracy which shall live as a burning torch for the future world, we dedicate this 1945 Blackhawk Annual.

ADMINISTRATION ☆ ☆ ☆ Superintendent Paul B. Jacobsou. When the last Blackhawk was published our sol- diers had just landed in France. As this goes to press we are preparing to celebrate VE day in Europe. In due season victory in the Pacific will be ours. After that we must assure peace in the world. In addition each of us must produce so that individually we all can earn a good living. Boys and girls who attend school are learning to understand the problems which confront world citizens and are preparing themselves to earn a living. Some will do so by going to college and by entering the professions. Others will do so as a secretary in business, as a machinist in industry, or in some other honest operation. The boys and girls in Davenport are to be con- gratulated in that they have continued their educa- tions and have assisted in solving the manpower shortage in the Quad-Cities area. You are studying and getting ready. You will be ready to accept your places as citizens and as producers in the years which lie ahead. OAdC-lAa'-v , Superintendent.

The past three years which you have spent in Davenport High School have been critical years in the history of the nations of the world. The future welfare of our beloved nation has stood at a crossroads not knowing what the final outcome might be for you as well as for your posterity. Now you begin to see a bright new star of hope for a lasting and just peace arising for all peoples and nations, although much pain and suffering may have yet to be endured. The high privilege of helping to mold a new world order will no doubt be given to you. May you em- brace every opportunity for such service to the end that such critical and chaotic world economic, politi- cal, and social conditions may never arise to harass mankind. May you help build a world order which shall bring peace and happiness for posterity every- where and always. Congratulations to each member of the 1945 D.H.S. graduating class. May you be granted health, strength, and opportunity to accomplish your fondest ambitions. Principal. Principal A. I. Naumann COUNSELING Miss Leona L. Soebren, director of counseling. Miss Balluff is helping counstlee Suzanne Kleinhen make out her schedule uhite Virginia Day looks over the program of studies offered. With age, comes wisdom,” and probably the most revered and respected men of the Indian clans and tribes, were the wisemen who were the counselors of the tribes. Their job was to guide the younger braves and maidens through maturity, and that same task is present in the high school today, in the counseling office. The position of a high school counselor is two-fold. First, to guide the student in his work at school and counsel him concerning the future, and second, to help the members of the office force by checking in late and absent pupils. Although the latter constitutes a major job in itself, the planning and supervision to help the student of today place his niche in the world of tomorrow remains the more important task. The counseling office maintains a complete scholastic record of all the students, carries catalogues from all the major colleges in the United States, and acts as a medium whereby seniors and graduates may meet the college representatives. Such is the work performed by the counselors ever)- school year—helping, advising, encourag- ing, and congratulating—all in a day’s routine. C seeking absences in the counseling office arc members of the counseling staff, left to right: Miss Lucille Bur- ianek, Miss Mabel Johnstone, Miss Adelaide Balluff, Miss lit a Bunk, coun- seling secretary, and Haney Voris.

Leonard Hofjmann. Charles McDonnell, Eugene Gedye, Robert Richardson. Like the Indians of early America, we have the opportunity to blaze any trail of achieve- ment which we desire. It is through wise voca- tional guidance that we achieve our highest degree of specialization in the occupation that we choose. Through vocational guidance we obtain high standards of living, opportunity to attain economic independence, and the fullest enjoyment from working at a job for which we are suited. Following the ninth grade social science course, tenth grade occupations classes learn how the white man makes his living; ex- amine their own capacities and interests; and analyze one occupation in particular that is suited to them. VOCATIONAL GUIDANCE Leonard Calvert, co- director of job place- ment service and occu- pations instructor. Taking part in the Great War, the braves” and maidens” learn about the 400 occupations essential to the war effort. To aid students in finding their place in the war effort, and to help secure them part time jobs, Mr. Calvert, director of vocational guid- ance, and Miss Cotter, occupational instructor, conduct a job placement bureau. Miss Pauline Colter, co-director of job placement service and occupations instructor.

Miss Hortense Finch, Miss Josephine Mir field, and Miss Florence Anderson. To promote better understanding between tribes, the braves” and maidens” study sign language.” Through a thorough knowledge of their language, members of the various groups can be in a position to pow-wow” intelligently. In order to receive tribal honors, the student must have two years of English. The choice he is offered is wide, includ- ing English, the study of grammar and composi- tion; business English, that the braves may carry on proper correspondence; and literature, in which they become acquainted with various authors through a study of their writings. In addition, elective courses arc offered in recent literature and creative writing. In the first, the aspiring Indians” learn of the works of their contemporary authors. The second is offered to those who wish to follow in the footsteps of the writers they have studied, as well as to those who wish to study it in order to acquire additional proficiency in the use of their language. Another field in which the symbol” student may concentrate is journalism. After taking the journalism courses, the student may secure addi- tional practice by taking part in the publication of the tribal documents,” the newspaper and the yearbook. Through the experience which they acquire in working on such publications, they may prepare themselves to pass on the tribal” records from one generation to the next. 12 Both the American and the English literature courses are divided into two groups, general liter- ature for those who seek only tribal honors,” and college preparatory for those who wish to pursue further the words of the wise men.” The differ- ence between the two groups lies in the fact that the college groups study the college placement books in the American literature classes, and the M. O. S. book in the English literature group. The American literature course includes the study of such poems as I Hear America Singing,” The Man With the Hoe,” Trees,” and The Old Swim- min’-Hole.” In addition, the course includes prose articles such as Just Short of Eternity,” and The Outcasts of Poker Flat.” English literature groups begin with a study of the first real piece of English literature, the epic Beowulf,” and progress up to 20th century writ- ings. At the conclusion of their courses in English, the braves” and maidens” have a thorough back- ground which will enable them to live up to the standards set by their predecessors. For without the ability to understand the views of others and express their own thoughts clearly, they cannot hope to carry on the cause of tribal” democracy.

MATH In the beginning, the Indian did not know much at all about mathematics. True, he could make rough estimates on the distance of places, or the size of an object, but when it came to practical use of mathe- matics, he was not able to comprehend its principles. Today students have progressed into algebra, plane geometry, solid geometry, advanced algebra, trigon- ometry, and college algebra. Heavy schedules of math are being carried by braves” and maidens” who realize that math is needed in their jobs vital to the Great War. The future army and navy medicine men and women” have formulae to prepare, chem- ical formulae to write up, and many kinds of experi- ments to do, all of which require much math back- ground. Future birdmen will find fundamentals of flight invaluable in their aerial training. This study includes sciences of flight, mctorology, aircraft identifiaction, plane construction, and instrument flying. Since aeronautics is a branch of higher math, a general background of plane geometry and algebra is essential. Some of the braves” and maidens” find that they should have more math in preparation for their war jobs, and so a semester refresher math course, in which general math principles are reviewed, is provided. The braves” and maidens” will use the know- ledge they have gained juggling logarithems, strug- gling with a slide rule, and solving complicated formulae in the future as engineers, scientists, avia- tors, and inventors in the postwar period when they will be called upon to help construct a better world.

The Indians were contented with the history and ancestors of their own clan, and had no reason to learn the background of other tribes. However, living in a world that has an international basis and rapid communication and transportation, nations which had hither-to-forc seemed far and dis- tant, now have a direct hearing on our lives. There- fore, we need to know their past, present, and future. Required by state law is one year of American history, covering a period from the time of the first royal colonies, thru the Declaration of Independence, the War of 1812, the Monroe Doctrine, the Civil War, our participation in the first World War, and the aftermath of that war. Also a prerequisite to graduation, is one semester of civics in 12A, where modern, up-to-date problems are discussed, and the various functions and branches of the government arc studied. Students who major in social studies can also take a two-semester course in world history, where the growth of the Huropcan continent is explained. The right to vote is one of the most cherished rights of an American citizen, and the braves” and maidens” have a chance to take part in their own elections each year in the Boys’ State campaigns, which arc sponsored by the American Legion in cooperation with the social studies department.

They are. left to right: Bob Bebm, Bob Jones, Tom MacTaggart, Shir- ley Staff lebach, Vir- ginia Benfer, Bernice Kath, and Alberta Rogers. Whenever Indians got together music was a major part of their entertainment. While they were grouped about the camp fire in the evening enjoying its warmth, often they di- verted themselves by singing the old and beautiful Indian songs. Here in the tribal school, music, both vocal and instrumental, provides many pleasant hours of pastime. Mr. Morti boy, supervisor of instrumental music, rehearses the band. In vocal music, courses in music apprecia- tion and harmony are offered, plus beginning and advanced chorus and Girls’ Glee Club. Six of the best girls’ voices are chosen for the Girls’ Sextet, and four boys’ voices compose the Boys’ Quartet. Mr. Gannett, vocal instruc- tor, also organized a Negro Girls’ Quartet. Programs given by the vocal department during the year were the annual Hi-dc-Hi musical, and a portion of Handel’s Messiah’’ presented by a chorus of 100 voices with accompaniment by the high school orchestra. Instruction in almost any instrument is offered in instrumental music. If the tribal student becomes proficient enough, he may enter the orchestra or band. The concert band and orchestra present two concerts each year, and the band plays at football and basketball games.

ART Even the supposedly primitive Indian had a type of art that served to express his feel- ings, besides the purely functional purpose that it filled as a means of communication. In fact, some of the trinkets which certain tribes fashioned stand in a class by them- selves, even now, in the quality and type of workmanship. But art serves the D. H. S. tribe” to even greater extent. The three- year course which is offered includes instruc- tion in the fundamentals of art, drawing, painting, principles of design, sculpturing, commercial art, and metalcraft. One of the most popular courses, and the one most akin to the art of the Indians, is that of metalcraft. In this course, students make jewelry of their own design. In addition to their regular class duties, art students undertake additional tasks, such as making posters for Holy Week Services, school plays, and War Bond and Stamp drives, and making Christmas cards for sol- diers at Schick Hospital to send home. Students in Miss Simi's painting and still life class are. left to right: Bill Boeshaar, Melha Cline, Bob Wulf, and Shirley Frauen. COMMERCIAL The early Indian did not need to make provision for the study of commercial subjects. His world was simple, and within the borders of it there was no room for anything more than the bare necessities of com- munication. But the members of the D.H.S. tribe” arc in a different situation, and ample provision is made to train them in the things they need. At the conclusion of the three-year course in typing and two- year course in shorthand, students arc usually prepared to take over one of the many stenographic positions open in the Tri-Cities, or continue in college courses. Even while they are still in school, students in this course have many jobs to do, including typing all re- port cards, typing and mimeographing for the Boys’ State campaign, and typing out blanks for contests held here. In this present-day world, so much more compli- cated than that of the Indian, the importance of the role which the instructors play in training students in secretarial work can hardly be over-estimated. Commercial instructors, W. R. Baker, Wallace Evans, Paul C. Moon, and Clement Bridge, discuss texts used in the commercial courses. Above, left: Jim Nelson, working in a local store as part of the cooperative retail training course, decorates a window. Below: Miss Mildred Blair, retail training instructor. For those who intend to make a ca- reer of business, the courses offered in this line in high school are practically indispensable. Including such a wide variety as bookkeeping, office machine training, accounting, and commercial law, they furnish a complete back- ground either for further studies or for immediate practical use. With the ex- perience which they have acquired in high school, the students arc fully qual- ified to step into a business office and assume a responsible position, for the groundwork which they have received will enable them to quickly master any differences between offices. For those who are far along in their business training, actual experience in the business field is available, through the retail training program. In this, the students attend a half-day of school and spend the other half-day actually work- ing at one of the jobs they have studied, either in a retail store or in an office. In this way, they fit themselves for the job of their choosing. Above, right: Mr. Baker's office machines training class.

Instructors of the natural sciences examine bird specimens. They are, left right: J. M. Hitchings. Leslie C. Goss, Harvey Voris, and Miss M. Rae Johns. When the Redman lived in this country, he was not able to cope with his environment very effectively. His methods for knowing what kind of weather was ahead were primitive. He had no rifle, but had to be content with a crude bow and a stone arrow-head. He was always in doubt as to whether his family would be able to eat the next day. Today, thanks to the many triumphs of science and numerous inventions, everyone has his opportunity to live in a hap- pier, more secure world. Students of today, who will be the scientists tomorrow, learn their scientific lore” in such subjects as chemistry, physics, zoology, and biology. Many students take courses in the ologies” which help them understand something of the miraculous universe of living things around them. Even the tiny grasshopper has its talc of wonder. Much time is spent by students in dis- secting frogs and crawfish or observing the habits of snakes and of other biological speci- mens. The Indian, through his ignorance of many things scientific, allowed many supersti- tions and beliefs to grow up around the sciences. The Great Spirit” showed his anger by thunder and lightening as a warning to the Redman. If the year’s crops were successful the gods had been well pleased. Wendell Van Alta, Dorothy Winkler, and Marilyn Lynch—members of Mr. Hitchings' physiology class—look at a model of a human jawbone. 20 Natural and Physical Here in tribal” school the braves” who plan to follow the engineering profession can take semesters in physics or in chemistry, and then they may go on to college to continue their education. Biology is the foundation of farming and gardening, and upon its laws are based the care and breeding of all domestic animals and plants, and the conservation of natural resour- ces. Through the study of biology, the tribe learns about health and the care of the bodies —hygiene. Sbrltion Sitrick, lingerie Then bam, and Hob Garvey do a chemistry experiment in Mr. Money's college preparatory chemistry class. Too, the tribe learns about the science of heat, electricity, sound, light, and many other things through the study of physics. Here they learn the answers to, What causes the wind to blow?”, How is heat generated?”, and many other questions which arise in the inquisitive mind. The braves” learn that science” means knowledge and they are forever trying to gain knowledge of the world. In chemistry the braves” learn of the different elements that compose the earth and of their uses in the prac- tical sense. They perform experiments in the laboratories demonstrating principles they have learned. The tribe” derives much from the study of physics, chemistry, zoology, biology, and is sent on its way with a greater fund of knowledge to add to the developments science has made.

To the Indian, a knowledge of the languages of the neighboring tribes was essential, since he came in constant contact with their members. The same is true today, for with our constantly shrinking global dimensions, we come in ever closer relationship with members of fellow nations. In order to associate with them on an intelligent basis, we must be able to understand and appreciate their language and cus- toms. With this thought in mind, the big chiefs” of the high school offer courses in numerous languages, including Latin, French, German, and Spanish. Fu- ture medicine men” find the study of Latin of use in the pursuit of their studies. Besides the purely classical value of German and French, they can serve as vital links in the bands of friendship that must join nations if any basis for permanent peace is to be established between the tribes.” With our increasing interest in the culture of our friends to the south, the course in Spanish has become the most popular. Through a thorough mastery of this language, the braves” and maidens” can have a greater apprecia- tion of our friends across the border.” 22 LIBRARY When we need to know the history of our ancest- ors, or the customs of other villages, tribes, and nations, the library stands as an ever present refer- ence room with books, pamphlets, and magazines. During the time of the Great War, the library per- forms an even greater task in giving assistance. Special tables arc reserved for information on the opportuni- ties for advancement in Uncle Sam’s services, and books are purchased which deal with war problems and the various jobs that help the war effort. A new system by which students could obtain per- mits at the door of the library instead of making a special trip to the teachers was devised and put into effect this year. Books arc ammunition, today as in the past. Books proclaiming freedom and democracy and pamphlets revealing the functions of a democratic nation at work fill the library shelves and files. Know- ledge and understanding stand as a goal of free men everywhere, and the books from which they arc ob- tained stand as symbols of the faith and guidance that is needed throughout the ravaged world today.

HEALTH After receiving wounds from the Battle of Study Room B” and being mangled in classroom clashes members of the D.H.S. Indian tribe seek comfort in Chief Nurse Nash’s headquarters where they arc given first aid treatment. Before any brave” or maiden” is allowed to enter the tribal” school, he is given a physical examination and the results are hied in the nurse's office. Medicine men of the D.H.S. tribe are Dr. Carl Matthey, and Dr. W. G. Teegen, dentist, whose job it is to examine brave-athletes and keep con- stant check on the health of the school. The speech corrcctionist’s work has been dis- continued for the past year. Her work aids those students who have slight defects in their speech. They are trained in the correct pronunciation of the vowels and consonants in order to get a clear cut speaking voice. Lip reading is also offered for those who have a definite hearing loss. 24 Right: Holding a paneI discussion in Mrs. Torn- auist's speed) class are. left to right: Patience Sighsuander, Dick Uch- lorf.

SPEECH and DRAMATICS Black Hawk, Chief of the Sauks, knew the ad- vantage of being able to sway an audience by skill- ful speech. Students of D.H.S. have followed the advice of this wise counselor of a century ago by taking speech courses, which include beginning speech, dramatics, and public speaking. A two-year dramatics course is offered, covering acting, make-up, history of the theater, and stage construction. Beginning acting teaches the funda- mentals of stage techniques. Students learn to don war paint in the make-up course. History of the theatre teaches the background of modern drama, while stage construction is a laboratory course in building materials used on stage. Public speaking may be taken by the student for three years. Mr. Keibcr teaches pub” students the elements of original oratory, declamator)- speak- ing, debating, extemporaneous speaking, oratorical speaking, and parliamentary law. Original oratory gives the student opportunity to express his own thoughts oratorically, since he must compose his own oration. Declamations of various kinds arc practiced, including humorous, dramatic, and oratorical. Debate teams are or- ganized, debating on the national debate question, which this year was, Resolved: That the legal voting age be lowered to eighteen.” Extemporane- ous speaking is mastered as the student speaks in round robin” fashion with others in his class. Romeo Tom Cosgrove and Juliet Jack Kuehl give an exercise in pantomine for Miss Munger’s dramatics class. 25 Members of an eleventh grade gym (lass perform a pyramid. PHYSICAL Girls’ Miss Deone Gibson, girls gym instructor. The coming of the Great War made it necessary for the Indian” girls to com- bine physical fitness along with the regu- lar gym activities. Modeled after the National Victory Corps, the gym course includes many new features. The first five or six minutes of the class period are spent in doing various calisthenics. Sometimes this is followed by the obstacle course, after which aching muscles are suffered for a few days. Each girls' class is divided into teams throughout the semester with contests in basketball, volleyball, baseball, badminton, deck tennis, and ping pong. After the intra-mural class competition is over, the winners play in inter-class games to choose the final victor. Many types of dancing arc also pre- sented to the girls during the semester. Here they learn ballroom steps and intri- cate folk dances. Some of these dances are the Virginia Reel, the square dance, the schottische, and the rye waltz. 26 An eleventh grade gym class does tire chest lift as a uarming-up exercise. EDUCATION Building physical stamina and prowess, young braves in gym classes take part in strenuous exercises as preparation for the Great War. Health and fitness played a great role in the life of an Indian, and so today when strong bodies are needed for the preservation of Democracy, the accent has been put on this same toughening up” drill. As the young brave of yesteryear com- peted with his fellowmen in order to be- come a warrior, today young men partici- pate in the gym to reach the rank of Commando, attained by passing a ten-point program. These points are given for the fulfillment of ten separate tests including a pull-over on the bar, hand stands, twen- ty-foot rope climb, running the one-quar- ter mile in seventy seconds, scaling a ten foot wall, five dips on the parallel bar, head and hand springs, and the seemingly eternal stickler, the kip on the high bar. Ron Dat is scales the uall to earn points in the commando training course. The handstand is done in a boys’ gym class as part of the commando course. 27 INDUSTRIAL ARTS Now, as never before, the Indian braves” must carry their end of the production line in the Great War. It was only a few years ago that they were planning for their work bench or workroom at home. But then foreign tribes attacked our hunting ground and our warriors entered the Great War. It was then that the Indian” gave up his dreams to prepare for the tremendous task of supplying equipment to win the Great War. Industry came to the rescue, and soon the mas- sive wheel of production was rolling through- out the land. Factories converted, and thoughts of model airplanes turned to the actual planes. Ken Bull gen watches Earl Gould operate the linotype machine in Mr. Sitiel’t linotype class. It is here in the tribal school that braves learn to carry their end of the production line. Here they prepare themselves for jobs in the war plants. In the printing department the advanced classes may be found putting out the school paper. The Blackhawk, running off play pro- grams, P.T.A. announcements, or posters for various activities, while the beginning classes are learning to set type. When working on their projects and on pre- cision instruments, braves” must be very exact- ing. Mistakes may cost the life of some man Leonard Hoffman and Harley Webb operate the simper machine in the machine shop. 28 Left: Industrial arts teachers are. left to right: A. F. Wiegmann. F. N. Scapple, Robert Henning, and Robert Wehlage. on a fighting front. Of course, in the beginning the braves” must learn their jobs step by step in a trying, learning process. But each brave” knows that some day in the future he will be able to take his place beside his brothers on the production line of the Great War. Education along practical lines is provided through the courses in blue print reading, weld- ing, mechanical drawing, patternmaking, and molding. Girls’ classes in war training arc a later addi- tion to the war training program. In these classes senior girls receive training in checking precision instruments. By graduation time they are eligible for jobs inspecting instruments in the different war plants and factories in the Tri- Cities. Thus, the school prepares its citizens to do their part in the war while it trains them for ultimate peace. Industrial arts teachers are. left to right: Roland Krieh, Charles Gessell, II. W. Waffle, and Forrest Sissel. HOME ECONOMICS Back in the times of the Indians the homes or wigwams were kept up by the hard toil of the squaw. From morning until the setting of the evening sun she worked with what little equip- ment and knowledge was available in those primi- tive times. She did not have all the modern im- provements of today, nor did science give her new methods and inventions to help her with the work. The excellently prepared meal of today which has been scientifically planned by expert dieticians was completely lacking. Good homemakers have, and always will be, the foundation of the American nation. In home eco- nomics maidens” learn many important things about the homes which they will help build in the world of tomorrow. In the two-year course in clothing, a student learns about the various fabrics on the market and gains practical experience in making her own clothes. A onc-scmcstcr prepara- tory clothing class is offered to those who have not studied clothing in intermediate school. A course in household sewing is given which teaches the girls knitting, embroidering, crocheting, and rug making on the loom. One year of foods is also offered by this department. Delores Stephens, Marjoriedelle Nicholson, and Shirley lideus are shown preparing food in Miss Haller's dietetics class.

T. and his assist- ant Sgt. H. L. Meyers, the Reserve Officers Training Corps continued to give the D.H.S. regiment excellent military background. Especially valuable to those who must en- ter the service are the R.O.T.C. cadet studies of such subjects as combat principles, musket- ry, mapreading, scouting and patrolling, first aid, sanitation, rifle marksmanship, and mili- tary courtesy and discipline. In the march toward freedom for the world the cadets realize the part they are to play in the war and have buckled down” to theoret- ical work and drill under the leadership of Cadet Colonel Carl Machover in the fall and Cadet Colonel Joe Terr)- in the spring.

Fleeted attendants to the princess were Carolyn Cook, Pat Chescbro, Patricia Foley, and Marianna Trckcll. The twelve candidates for the throne were chosen in a senior aud the preceding Monday and were voted upon in a schoolwidc election the following Wednesday. Other candidates for the honor were Shirley Robbins, Donna Dietz, Beverly Schoonhovcn, Jeanette Scg- hers, Donna Ford, Amber Rieckc, and Mari- lyn Johnson. Starting off the festivities was a ceremonial feast in honor of the princess and her at- tendants at the Empire Room of the Black- hawk Hotel. Joe Terr)', Hi-Y president, act- ed as toastmaster. Mayor Art Kroppach and Principal Naumann presented talks. Each of the girls received an identification bracelet. From the feast the group proceeded to the football tussle where the Blue Devils went on the warpath against Dubuque. Upon receiv- ing recognition from the D.H.S. tribe in the bleachers, the princess and her four attend- ants, escorted by the Hi-Y cabinet members, walked across the middle of the field, through an honor guard formed by the band in front of the grandstand. After Mayor Art Krop- pach crowned the princess, the group took its place in the royal box to view the war- game.” Climaxing the battle was an informal cere- monial dance in the patriotic Red and Blue theme.

STUDENT COUNCIL Just as the Indian people were represented in their tribal council, so arc the students of D.H.S. represented in their Student Council. At the beginning of every se- mester, each homeroom sends a representative to the council. Fall semester officers were: Joe Terry, president; Matt Thompson, vice-president; and Pat Foley, secretary- treasurer. The Student Council honored the school with the pre- sentation of a placque in memory of former D.H.S. stu- dents who are now serving in the armed forces. Pre- sentation of the placque was made to the school in a special patriotic aud, March 20. Roma Willcoxon was chairman of the placque com- mittee and aided in the designing of the 36 inch by 24 inch placque. After presentation the placque was placed above the cast entrance to the auditorium. In the spring the council carried on an extensive cam- paign in order to remind students to keep the lawns about school in good condition, under the direction of the new spring officers.

The Junior Red Cross spring committee con- sisted of Miss Simi and Mr. Potter as faculty advisers. The students appointed to represent the central council in the spring and in the fall were Esther Hintcrmeister and Roger Hcdbcrg. With the year’s total of $196 D.H.S. sur- passed the previous year’s total of $120. In the fall the Junior Red Cross campaigned to enlist 100 per cent membership. The students were asked to contribute to the Junior Red Cross service fund if they wished, but there were no dues or enrollment fees. However, all members were expected to participate in the Junior Red Cross service projects. The service program con- sisted of the production of comfort and recre- ational articles. Founded during the last war, the American Junior Red Cross today is the world’s largest youth organization with a total of 18,000,000 members in the schools of the nation. Some of the articles which were asked for were bedside bags, folding bed trays, lapboards, wall hangings, watch holders, writing boards, writing portfolios, cartoon books. Also in the list were recreational articles such as acey deucy boards, bridge score pads, bridge tallies, checker boards and checkers, chess men and boards, Chi- nese checker boards, comic strip booklets, crib- bage boards, and crossword puzzles. When we enter the era of which we hope will be a permanent peace the Red Cross will con- tinue to serve all mankind in the battle with the elements. Even in drought, flood, quakes, and pestilence the Red Cross will continue to bring prompt aid to the victims of catastrophe. In the true spirit of brotherhood the Red Cross admin- isters to friend and foe alike. Hear those drums beating? No, D.H.S. hasn’t gone on the warpath. It’s only the band which has gone through another successful year along with the orchestra at D.H.S. Directed by Mr. Mortiboy, the band and orches- tra gave their annual concert, playing such numbers as 1812 Overture”by Tschaikowsky and Knights- bridge March” from the London Suite by Eric Coates. The march was a descriptive piece pictur- ing carefree life of the Knightsbridge era. Variations had been prepared on ’’Pop! Goes the Weasel” by Caliet, making it appear as a fugue, minuet, lament, a music box, and in the jazz idiom. The orchestra presented the First Movement from the Symphony in B Minor, by Schubert. Besides giving concerts the band also performs at football games making a very striking picture in their red and blue uniforms. It is here that one of the main examples of school spirit is shown with the urging forward of the brave” sportsmen to the lilt of the school songs. In instrumental music, instruction in almost any instrument is offered. After acquiring sufficient skill the braves” and maidens” may enter the band, composed of over 90 pieces, or the orchestra.

VOCAL Mr. Kent Gannett, vocal music in- structor, and Air. Bill Kroegcr, accompanist. In the spirit of friendliness and relaxation the braves” and maidens” include vocal music in their courses in order to appreciate music and to learn to understand it. The Indian expressed himself more through works of art and music than by any other means. Like the Indian we, too, enjoy music and have learned to appreciate it through excellent per- formances of the vocal department. The vocal department at high school does its rehearsing daily and many programs arc given by it during the year. Besides the chorus and the girls' glee club, there is a girls’ sextet and quartet, and a boys’ quartet. Members of the Beginning Chorus: Herbert Alley, Doris Andrews.

WAR HOP Cadet Colonel Carl Machover and Honorary Cadet Colonel Carolyn Cook u alk through the saber arch. In honor of the D.H.S. braves” a war hop and a ceremonial feast were held at Hotel Blackhawk as the last moon of the year got underway. Following past tribal customs, the R.O.T.C. elected an honorar)’ cadet col- onel and two lieutenant colonels to carry on the feast and ceremonial dance traditions. Carolyn Cook was chosen to be the hon- orar)’ cadet colonel with Pat Chesebro and Madaline Bocck as the lieutenant colonels. The war banners in the gym were red in true Indian color and the music was tom-tomed” by that perfectionist of the Indian love songs, Hal Wiese. Features of the pow wow were the saber arch ceremony and the presentation of com- pacts to the honorar) cadet colonel and to the two lieutenant colonels. The tribe per- formed the Grand March, proving successful except for the casualty of Lieut. Colonel Chesebro who lost her moccasin in the scuffle. Despite the war, the Indian braves and squaws enjoyed themselves with what their wampum could obtain in these troubled times when older braves arc warring against one another.

He knew that at these important tribal meetings, only the intelligent, think- ing braves of the tribe, and the speakers and leaders were allowed to take part in the discussions. Students in speaking classes of today strive to attain such leadership by hard work and practice in declama- tion, debate, extemporaneous speaking, oratory, and interpretative reading. For the first time this year, active participation was held by the students in radio speaking. The work in speech training, headed by Coach A. E. Keiber, reaches its goal in interscholastic competition, where a brave’s training is tested as to its merit or failure. Starting off the long string of contests was the Girls’ Declam” Contest held at Davenport, Novem- ber 18, with entries in the three fields of declamation: oratory, humorous, and dramatic. With over 80 par- ticipants from Davenport, West Liberty, Ottumwa, Slate representatives are, left to right, seated: Belly Marlin, Ver- la lihlers, John Marron, and Sheldon Sitrich; standing: Jim Christensen, Wayne Brooks.

Other D.H.S. contestants were Norma Cope, Grace Damos, Ida Montgomery, Jean Ruchmann, Shirley Elman, Verla Ehlers, Lucille Foley, Pat Kroegcr, and Dorothy Nic- mand. Iowa Nine dcclaimcrs were chosen in December, and the boys’ team, consisting of John Marron, Dick Ya- ger, Phil Mayer, Denny Cope, Sheldon Sitrick, and Carl Machover, tied for third place in the contest at Davenport. Carl and Denny received final ratings of superior. Girl Iowa Nine dcclaimcrs met their match at Ot- tumwa on February 5, where Verla Ehlers, Grace Da- mos, and Shirley Elman received superior awards. Other D.H.S. representatives were Ruth Gold and Lucille Foley. Over the Christmas holidays, members of the de- bating team were hard at work, compiling quotations and outlining rebuttals. Leaders of the affirmative team were Sheldon Sitrick and Carl Machover, with remaining debaters, Jim Christiansen, Wayne Allen Brooks, Lucille Foley, Ida Caroline Montgomery, and Dorothy Nicmand. Negative leader was Phil Mayer, with Betty Martin, Shirley Elman, Charles Thodt, Howard 'Hiomasson, Lynn Schroeder, and Dick Baird.

After the Oskaloosa Invitational Dedam” on Jan- uary 27, the debating teams went to Augustan i to cap- ture first place, winning all twelve debates over 21 schools from Iowa and Illinois. State contests ended the season in all but two fields of speech. After surviving three rounds of competi- tion at Davenport, Oskaloosa, and Atlantic, D.H.S. representatives emerged with fine records. The de- baters, Sheldon, Jim, Betty, and Phil, won all their debates straight through to the finish to capture state championships, climaxing a winning streak of 28 straight debates. Wayne Brooks received superior, an equivalent of first place, in Original Oratory, Dick Yager won a like rating in Extemporaneous Speaking, Howard Thomasson in Dramatic Declamation, John Marron in Humorous; all received either first or tics for first in state finals. Jim Christiansen won excellent ratings in Oratorical Declamation, as did Howard Thomasson in Radio Speaking. Rounding out the highly successful season was a first place win in the Iowa Nine Extemp and Oratory Meet at Iowa City, Betty Martin achieving superior in Extcmp, and Wayne Brooks in Oratory. The Invita- tional Extemp and Oratory completed the interschol- astic season's competition. The National Forensic League’s local chapter cele- brated its eighth birthday on March 23, and initiated eight new members, Denny Cope, Everett Christian- sen, Ruth Gold, Pat Kroeger, Lynn Schrocder, Doro- thy Niemand, Dick Baird, and Jim Christensen. Serving on the Speech Service Squad, providing en- tertainment for various local clubs and organizations, and appearing on radio programs were the active functions of the D.H.S. tribe of public speakers — today's students; tomorrow’s leaders!

Coming through victorious in the battle of the paste pots and copy, D.H.S. braves” and maidens of the ’45 Blackhawk Annual staff have completed, after much stress and struggle, another yearbook. Sometime in the far distant future when the annual of 1945 has been laid away, almost forgotten in the dusty recesses of various attics, the members of the Blackhawk Annual staff will look back to those days of copy writing, planning layouts, picture taking, and proofreading, and wonder how they ever pulled through in the time allotted. Deadlines, deadlines, and more deadlines weighed heavily on them. There were last minute shots to be taken, copy to be written, and a million other things to be taken care of under the careful supervision of the editors of the produc- tion. Pat Chesebro, editor, and Virginia Day, her assistant, worked on into the night, at the brink of nervous break- downs, urging their sometimes inactive staff on to more and more copy, more and more layouts. But one day, one unbelievable day, the copy all went down to the printer) and everyone was happy again, especially copy writer Bar- bara Hinrichsen, activities editor, who with her assistants Dick Yager and Jim Christensen, had an excellent case of writer’s cramp at the end of the task. Thinking that the entire job was done, Helen Weir and Shirley Robbins, class editor and assistant class editor, were shaken out of their contentment with the sad news that their section had to be remade. Their job was to see that all the pictures were in for the graduates and also write copy and underlines.

Taking over the positions of sports editor and assistant when Ed Sieb was called to the service, were Bob Hedberg and Wayne Michcel who carried on with sports pictures and copy. Handling club pictures and copy by the carload was the job of Carolyn Cook, club editor, and her assistant, Phyllis Ohland. It was Louise Roscberry who managed the financing of the annual with the assistance of Janice Parke, Shirley El- man, and Bob Jacobs. Surrounded by their works of art was the art staff, composed of June Poison, Nancy Turnbull, Jean Stoltenbcrg, and Claire Stoltenberg.

The scribes who worked to put out the tribal re- corder found that war had placed limitations on the products necessary to their publication. The paper, metal, and labor needed were all scarce. However, with patient help from linotypists, engrav- ers, photographers, and Mr. Sisscl, printer, the staff put out 18 issues and two extras during the year. Entering the Columbia Press Association for the first time in some years, the fall semester Blackhawk was given a Medalist rating, the highest awarded by Colum- bia University. National Scholastic Press Association gave the Blackhawk a rating of All-American.” N.S. P.A. gives only one award higher than All-American. The judge in criticising the Blackhawk commented on the attractive make-up of the sports page, complete news coverage, and interesting feature material offered.

Determination and hard work plus laughter and good times symbolize the Dramatics Club. This year for the first time the club awarded letters for outstanding work in the department. This was brought about through the combined efforts of both the ’44 and ’45 club seasons. The letter design was sketched by Claire Stoltenberg and Mrs. Garry, supervised by Mrs. Tornquist. It was then submitted to the club and approved. On the committee to decide who would merit the fifteen letters presented at the close of the club year were Virginia Day, Bill Struve, Mrs. Tornquist, and Miss Mungcr. Included in the club are seven members of the Thespians, National Honorary Society of High School Dramatics. Those who have successfully fulfilled the requirements for membership arc Jeanne Hinkle, Dick Lemberg, Jack G. Fleming, Bob Cameron, Virginia Day, Jeanette Kinncr, and Merle Crow. Two one-act plays were presented for the club dur- ing the year. At the February meeting Finger of God” was given, student directed by Shirley Boden. Dorothy Schmidt, Wayne Eppard, and Arthur Adams were in- cluded in the cast. Farewell Cruel World” was the feature of the April meeting. Dorothy Falk, Bill Ames, and Joan Taylor comprised the cast, while Claire Stol- tenberg was student director. Mrs. Tornquist aided in the production of both one-acts. The Dramatics Club members demonstrated their abilities beyond the limit of high school. They put on makeup for P.T.A. programs and answered other calls for makeup around the city. It was they who applied the makeup in the minstrel show. Climaxing the years’ activities of the club was a pic- nic at Duck Creek Park in May, where officers for the following semester were elected. 62 man, Ann House, Catherine Mandas, Mary I'I ad lien.

A. know that it is absolutely necessary to be well in order to enjoy life. They have this idea, coupled with comradeship, in mind when they join the club. Holding ceremonials every other Friday, members earn points playing basketball, volleyball, and roller- skating, since most meetings are active.” In the spring swimming parties were held at the Lend-A-Hand. At the roller-skating-rushing party in October, new- comers became acquainted with older tepee-tenants,” and worked toward their fifty points needed to enter the club. Dec. 20 a Christmas party became the scene of trading” small gifts. Dragging their braves behind them to the Spinster’s Spree, which G. A.

LATIN CLUB In order to pow-wow intelligently at peace confer- ences, the braves” and maidens” of today realize that Latin is still essential. Through their study of the clas- sic language, they get a good background in vocabulary, grammar, and a history of the old civilization. About seventy-five Latin students, under the guiding influence of Tribal Chieftain Eskelson, assemble at the turn of every thirty days to hold the habitual cere- monies. They also turned out at the football and bas- ketball games to sell candy for wampum for the tribe. It was a Latin Tribe member, Vic Ahrens, who por- trayed Don Quixote” in the Language Department’s auditorium for the school. In September the new members were initiated and tested on their knowledge of Latin at a Quiz program. The masculine voice of Vic Ahrens boomed in the role of Bluebeard” in a skit of the same name at the Octo- ber meeting. At the December meeting Christmas carols were sung in Latin, and Christmas in Other Lands” was presented. February being the month of hearts, Latin Club turned romantic at its meeting even having heart shaped Valentine cakes. Love stories in mythology constituted the program. In celebrating the Ides of March, Latin Club held a special program honoring Caesar. The program included reports given by the following mem- bers: Snapshots of Caesar” by Nancy McClenahan; Famous Sayings of Caesar” by Beatrice Davidson; Caesar’s Clemency” by Alice Lutz; and Caesar, the Art of Command,” by Betty Jean Hennen. Bob VanOlst illustrated his amazing hypnotic powers at the April meeting. Bob, a sophomore, showed his unusual powers of mental concentration as he proceed- ed to put his subject to sleep before the Latin Club. Also on the program there was music by the boys’ quar- tet who sang Taberna Est in Oppido.” (For the bene- fit of the non-classic-conscious students, Taberna Est in Oppido” is in reality the familiar There’s a Tavern in the Town” camouflaged for the occasion.) Eight girls sang Pastorale” and On the Lagoon.” A skit was presented at the May meeting, and a picnic in June triumphantly closed the season for Latin Club. Officers the fall semester were Jean Wagner, first consul; Bill Teegen, second consul; Zella Smith, scriba; and Amber McGuire, quaestor. Officers in charge the spring semester were, First Consul Amber McGuire, Second Consul Vic Ahrens, Scriba Elsbeth Schmahl, Quaestor Mary Fladlein, and Aedite Magarct Hunting- ton. 68 Row I, left to right: Rosalie Allen, Madelyn Ritchie, Rose Alarie St. John, Doris Lemberg, Shirley Robbins, Alarilyn Wesson, Barbara Hin- richsen, Beverly Sigg, Shirley Boden, Atiss Johnston.

Flem- ing, Vice-President Doris Lemburg, Secretary Joyce Donahue, Treasurer Jim Christensen.

Pan American Day was observed by the annual Pan American Day banquet in the Empire Room of the Blackhawk Hotel April 14th. The event was semi- formal. This year the Davenport High School club acted as host to the other Quad City Spanish groups. Representatives from all of the schools and colleges were present. Eloise Hawes was chairman of the ar- rangements committee assisted by Diane Moeller, Don- ald Nebergall, Austin Healy, Marge Ott, and Barbara Hinrichsen.

Moline presented the Mex- ican hat dance and marimba numbers. A Rock Island student spoke on Pan Americanism. In the fall, the club held a skating party at the Prom. The feature of the Christmas meeting was the breaking of the Pinata. This old Mexican Christmas custom was enacted in full. Mysterious little slips were passed around to determine who would break the student- made Pinata filled with candy and nuts. The Christmas story was related in Spanish, and Christmas songs were sung. The March meeting featured an Easter program and talks on Easter customs in other landswerc given. Ap- ril 8th saw the Tribe holding a big pow-wow.” A social party with group singing, dancing, and refresh- ments was held in place of the regular monthly meet- ing.

We face life squarely to find and give the best,” is the slogan Tri-Y girls have endeav- ored to put into practice this year, for it is the national slogan of all Girl Reserve branches — or junior members of the Y.W.C.A. With Willa Hind leaving to take up a Y.W.C.A. post in Colorado, Miss Blackman, Miss White, and Mrs. Gladys Maher, Girl Reserve Secretary, were initiated into the club as the new advisers. They supervised the 204 members of varied social, racial, religious, and economic backgrounds, and helped in mak- ing it a small Democracy within itself. October 13 and 14, conference was held at Camp Archie Allen, Port Byron, Illinois. The cabinet of Tri-Y was in attendance with Rock Island as host. Reverend Divine spoke on the history of hypnotism and gave a demonstra- tion of its powers at the October 25 meeting. Several members were put under” his influence, and instructed to carry out various commands. A Valentine’s Day party took the name of Kupid’s Kapers.” The recognition service was also held in February, with the beautiful candlelight ceremony.

March 29 the girls held a Platter Jamboree” at Melody Mill. Two interesting outside speakers listed on the program schedule of the 1944- 4$ yCar were Agnes Menges, Yeoman 3 c, local recruiter, who spoke on life in the Waves organization, and Mary Alice Bowers, local librarian, who gave a book review of Hrnie Pyle’s Brave Men.” Joining with Hi-Y, the girls sponsored the Holy Week services at St. John’s Methodist Church. Tri-Y members assisted the boys in giving the prayer and leading the services. Prominent Davenporters addressed these early-morning worshippers. Cabinet members held a slumber party with the Rock Island officers at the ”Y,” renewing acquaintances made at the lllowa conference. In June, the year’s activities calendar marked as final meeting the ring cere- mony, where club rings were awarded, and next year’s officers were installed.

QUILL and SCROLL Ready with their pad and pencil and their noses for news” to record tomorrow’s events arc the members of Quill and Scroll, international honorary society for high school journalists. Newcomers to this journalistic organization found the going a bit rough at the informal initiation staged by the old members. Dressed as hoboes, kids,” sirens, and the like, the pledges downed raw oysters and eggs without a murmur. Ten pledges survived this initiation and were admit- ted formally in a candlelight ceremony at the Quill and Scroll banquet in January. They were Nancy Turnbull, Phyllis Ohland, Pat Northington, Marian Oakes, Jan- ice Parke, Barbara Carlson, Shirley Elman, Jeanne Wolf, Jim Christensen, and Dick Yager. The pledges were accepted for the qualifications of outstanding work on the newspaper or yearbook, being juniors or seniors, and ranking in the upper third of their classes scholastically. The program at the annual banquet featured Ed Sicb as toastmaster introducing all the speakers. A Non- Agrarian Policy,” one-act skit, was enacted by Jim Christensen and Dick Yager. Carla Schmielau spoke on Scraps from the Hell-Box,” Virginia Day on Day by Day,” Pat Chescbro on “A Leg Man’s Busy Day,” and Bill Wundram on Chronicles Concerning a Copy Boy.” The 1945 Blackhawk yearbook was presented to the club at the June Publications Banquet. Alumni from D.H.S. and room 29 attended this red-letter event. Officers for the fall semester were: Carla Schmielau, president; Ed Sieb, vice-president; and Carolyn Cook, secretary-treasurer. Those installed for the spring se- mester were: Pat Chcsebro, president; Barbara Hin- richsen, vice-president; and Jim Christensen, secretary- treasurer. 74 GERMAN CLUB Row I, left to right: Virginia Hansen, Nancy Hall.

GERMAN CLUB NORMAL CLUB Although it is the smallest in high school, German Club can truthfully say that it makes up in quality what it lacks in quantity. Miss Anderson is the big chief of this tribe, acting as adviser. Wise counselors of tomorrow — these are the Indian maids of the Normal Tribe who have majored in nor- mal training throughout their high school years. Their aim is to become future teachers. During the hunting season” several interesting pro- grams were presented to the group. Various mem- bers took part in short skits on telephone and street conversations designed to give the members a more use- ful working knowledge of the German vocabulary. Dec. 20 a Christmas party was held in the Activities Room, which was decorated after German tradition with candles arranged upon the tree. German cookies and a hot drink were served. A Christmas party comprised the December meeting while Mr. Banze, county superintendent of schools, ad- dressed the club at the February meeting. The mem- bers took a museum trip in April under the supervision of Mr. Bailey, museum director. He explained the ex- hibits of the early history of Davenport and the Mis- sissippi River. In May the club turned out to honor the departing senior club members at their annual picnic at Duck Creek. President the first semester was Elinor Kehoc assisted Leading club activities in the fall were President Bill Potter, Vice-President Wayne Hiersemann, Secretary Fred Jacobi, and Treasurer Roberta Lorenz. Officers held their positions through the spring semester, with the exception of the treasurer, which office Rosemarie Hess took over. by Vice-President Klaine Harper, Secretary Iona Apple- by, Treasurer Mavis Puck, and Publicity Chairman Ruth Whcatcraft. Officers during the spring semester were Esther Hintcrmeistcr, president; Iona Appleby, vice-president; Elinor Kchoe, secretary; Margaret Picn, treasurer; and Elaine Harper, publicity chairman.

ON THE 50 The hills of the Mississippi Valley echoed and re- echoed the salvoes of outstanding gridiron combat during the ’44 football campaign, and only two sali- ents, in the territory of what most sources considered the top teams of Illinois and Iowa, marred Daven- port’s nine game pigskin record. Little was left to be desired in home engagements, as the Imp gridders spread devastation among five foes by at least a three touchdown margin. Two other road triumphs featured the Red and Blue fall program. Statistically the Demons sparkled even more bril- liantly by rolling up 235 points over the nine game season, to 70 for the combined efforts of the opposi- tion. The Daymen piled up 100 first downs in estab- lishing their 1,776 yards by rushing, while the Dav- enport defense limited the opposing elevens to 940 yards by rushing and 64 first downs. Despite the success of the season, conference titles were lacking and only the City championship re- mained in the Davenport camp. Rock Island, com- piling its greatest record in history and chosen with little dispute as the No. 1 team in Illinois, tagged the Demons with their first defeat and waltzed on to the Quad-City crown. Clinton, which also recorded an outstanding undefeated season as well as taking the majority of mythical state honors, shattered the Blues’ spotless Mississippi Valley slate and shared the Valley circuit flag with Last Waterloo. Top individual honors went to Bill Steele, center, who was named on the Iowa Daily Press Association first all-state team at a guard position. Honorable mention was afforded Bob Perkins, end; Jack Ham- mond, tackle; Jens Nielsen, guard; and Bill Brase, halfback. Unleashing one of the most well-balanced offen- sives conceivable, the Blue Devils scored from almost The seven members of the Davenport forward wall that spelled t-r-o-u-b-l-e for the Red aud Blue opponents over the past sea- son.

Touchdowns were marked up by four line plunges, a double reverse, a 38-yard punt return by Russ Makccvcr, and a forward pass. Tipping off Mississippi Valley warfare, the Red and Blue gridders were forced to rely on a 15-yard touch- down run by Bill Brase in the first quarter to trip the Franklin Thunderbolts 7-0 on the Cedar Rapids field. Iowa City was next by a 32-6 margin on the Little Hawks field. Joe Paulsen’s 75-yard touchdown re- turn of a pass interception highlighted a ragged contest. In the classic of the prep campaign, as nearly 14,000 spectators looked on in the Rock Island Bowl, the Crimson eleven handed the Imps their first defeat 13-6. Bill Cribbs gave Davenport a momentary third quarter lead with a brilliant 64-yard scoring sprint. Gaining revenge for a '43 defeat, the locals then racked up their tenth consecutive Homecoming tri- umph by lashing the Dubuque Rams 45-0. The Blue Devils boasted a 32-0 halftime advantage. The parade of home victories continued the next week as Fast Moline fell before the Davenport on- slaught 27-8. Bill Brase starred by connecting for three touchdown passes. With their ace halfback Dean Burridge scoring four touchdowns, Clinton pushed the Imps aside 25-6 on the next week-end in the up-river city. Joe Paulsen gallopped 90 yards on a kick-off return for the only Davenport score in the fourth quarter. Not to be counted out, the Daymen rallied on the home field a week later to trounce the Moline Ma- roons 33-12. The curtain came down on the campaign as the Demons annexed the City championship by blasting St. Ambrose Academy 34-0. Bob Hollin’s 71-yard scoring jaunt featured the year’s finale.

Earmarked as important targets by all foes as a result of their ’43 undefeated eight-game record, the Blue Devil sophomore gridders encountered stubborn resistance throughout their entire ’44 pigskin program and emerged with a two-victory, four-lost, and two-ties record. As defending champions in the Quad-City loop, the Little Imps were the center of interest and were not able to affect the standings noticeably from their second position slot. However, in the final tilt of the campaign on the Brady Street field, the Blues rose to seemingly insurmountable heights to upset the Moline Maroons by one point and throw the conference standings into such turmoil that it was impossible to award a trophy. Davenport’s final Quad- City record was two wins, two losses, and two tie games. The Red and Blue underclassmen attack was led by Bob Jones, fleet Negro halfback, who accounted for most of the scoring. Jones broke loose for several long scoring jaunts and showed promise of developing into a dangerous runner. Dick Mickelson assumed the power duties of the backfield from his fullback spot and scored the majority of the extra points throughout the season on line plunges. The sophomores opened their year in a drizzling rain at Browning field in Moline as the Little Maroons vanquished the Red and Blue 13-0 with a two touchdown last quarter rally. The Imps bettered their Quad-City defense somewhat the next week-end, as they fought the East Mo- line Hilltoppers to a scoreless tic in the Orange stadium.

However, after closing the margin to 7-6 in the third period, the Rocks scored in the final minutes of the fourth quarter to win 12-7. Lyons of Clinton proved to be too strong in the next game as the West Enders enjoyed an undefeated season and knocked off the Demons 32-7 on the up-river gridiron. Victory No. 1 was chalked up the next week as East Moline fell 14-0, but DeWitt smashed the Devils’ winning plans on the next week-end with a 6-0 defeat on the local field. Rock Island was forced to be satisfied with a 7-7 draw in the return encounter on the Davenport gridiron and Moline was sur- prised the next week-end 7-6 in the football finale. Bernard Perkins plunged for both touchdown and the extra point after Mickelson had set up the score with a 60-yard dash.

UNDER THE HOOP Penned as one of the teams not too hard to beat” in the ’45 cage program, the Davenport basketball quintet finished a hard season with a record of 9 vic- tories and 13 losses, winning many times against high- ly-touted opponents when classed as the dark horse. Statistics show that the Imps totaled 699 points, averaging 31.82 points per game, while their oppo- nents' total was one mark higher with 701 points, av- eraging 31.87 points per game. The locals’ highest game total was against Roosevelt of Cedar Rapids, when they tallied 56 points to their rival’s 25, while their lowest setback came in a second round with Clin- ton when they fell 29-13. Other statistics show that the Imps were allowed 704 minutes of playing time, mak- ing an average of one point per minute. The 22-gamc season started off with a defeat handed the Blue Devils by the Purple and Gold of Muscatine, 35-23, and then the Imps hit for four straight games, winning over Franklin, St. Ambrose, Iowa City, and Clinton. Moline provided the Blues with their first Quad-City competition of the year on the Maroon court, when the Moonmcn engaged in a battle that put them on the lower side of a 39-38 tilt. Dubuque followed as Demon conquerors, 36-27, and then Rock Island stepped in for a victory', 45-34. After six games had been checked off their date book, the cagemen were faced for the first time in the history of D.H.S. basketball against Decatur of Illinois, one of the strongest teams of the cross river state and later Illinois prep state champions.

After having already been beaten by the Dubuque quintet on the Marshall boards, the Devils trccked to the Ram city with a possible undisputed third place in the Mis- sissippi Valley Loop in view, and fulfilled their wishes with a win, 32-18. By trimming St. Ambrose, the Devils captured City League first place. Completing an under par basketball picture at Dav- enport this winter, the Blue Devil sophomores limped through a 14-game schedule with only four victories to their credit. Although the Little Imps’ showing in Quad-City play was far from perfect, the Demons provided plenty of opposition for all foes. During the season they lost some close decisions that could have gone cither way up to the final minutes, but height disadvantage and the usual case of inexperience hampered Coach Bridge's charges greatly. The only teams to fall before the Sophs were Rock Island, Moline, and St. Ambrose, twice. The Moline underclassmen gained revenge in the return match as they dumped the Bridgemen 29-24. Rock Island’s loss at the hands of the Blues came in the return of the Rocks to the Marshall gym after they had rolled to an easy 67-44 victory in the first meeting earlier in the sea- son in Rock Island.

In the initial tussle of the season the Blues led with the wrong foot as Muscatine defeated them 32-24. After this, St. Ambrose was defeated for the first Soph win of the season, but Iowa City took the measure in the following game, and then Clinton eked out a 26-25 victory. Rallying from this close decision, the Little Imps clambered back to the win trail with a 29-28 vic- tory over Moline.

AT THE FINISH LINE Keeping their record high, the Blue Devil trackstcrs ran through a victorious schedule by triumphantly capturing the Davenport Relays title and taking two of three relays in the high school section of the Drake Relays Classic at Des Moines. Clinton gave the Demons their biggest opposition of the season, proving to be too tough for the Blues in the Mississippi Val- ley Indoor meet and the Clinton Gateway. At the Drake Relays the squad of 11 men came through in typical Davenport manner as they annexed three firsts, one second, and a fifth position. Big Joe Paul- sen set a new state record for the football throw when he heaved the pigskin 207.79 feet, and Bill Cribbs placed second with a 203.9 throw.

AT HOME PLATE A second straight successful baseball season was witnessed this term when the Blue Devils, under the leadership of Coach Doug Atkins and Captain Bill Brase, continued a winning streak carried over from the '44 season. Lowdcn High School, in the second round of the sectional state tournament, broke the Blues’ 19-game winning spur. The season's biggest opposition was offered by the weather man, as many scheduled games were postponed, but the bigger portion of these contests were played after the state setback. Iowa City and Moline were two new opponents for the Imps, when both schools inaugurated baseball this season. Scores like 20-0 and 14-0 were handed by the Demons to the Maroon team. Russ Makecvcr left for the United States Marines at mid-season, which reflected full time catching duties to Bob Baker, junior.

ON THE FAIRWAYS Jim Fahrner dims for the cup as. left to right, Mel Foster, Ralph Riedesel, Bob Dittmer, ami Glen Gierke await their shot. With the aid of four returning lettermen, Coach Russell Bickford's Red and Blue linkstcrs rolled through a successful season. In an invitational meet held on the Duck Creek course, the locals took top honors by defeating Moline, 10- 3, Iowa City, 13 1, and Franklin of Cedar Rapids, 11- 2. Last season Moline was the Devils' toughest con- tender, but this season the Imps were a little advanced over the Maroons. However, in the first Vclie Cup Match, Moline took the upper hand with a total of 132 points to Davenport’s 104. This cup tournament was the first of four with all Quad-City schools participat- ing. The one with the highest total of points at the end of the season was the winner of the cup. In the fall the Imps were unsuccessful in rewinning the Quad-City Medalist match held on the Short Hills fairways, when Moline carded first place with Daven- port second. Three of the famous five” will not be on hand for any more play with the Blues. Ralph Riedesel, Glen Gierke, and Mel Foster graduate this June. James Fahr- ner, Bob Dittmer, Loren Sloane, and Chuck Hanssen will be back next year for the Demons. The Imps finished their season with the state tourna- ment at Ames.

Victor) winning was the course of the Blue Devil tennis squad as they blasted through a fall season with only two setbacks and started the spring term with a smashing win. The nctmen opened the fall season with a win over Rock Island on the home court. In the next meet Mo- line, one of the season’s toughest opponents, gave the Demons their first defeat. A quadrangular meet found the Blues spinning hard, but able only to tie with Moline and Iowa City for second place while Franklin of Cedar Rapids copped the first rate honors. Next, Burlington met defeat at the hands of the Devils, 5-4, and every Demon doubles combination managed to nab a win. With only Quad-City competition faced against them, the Davenport girls’ tennis team, coached by Miss Gibson, girls’ gym instructor, found opposition about fifty-fifty. The tennisettes started the season with a defeat handed them by the Moline outfit, and also bowed to Rock Island, but then came back to even things up with Moline with a win, 4-3, on the Credit Island court. Thos who qualified for the '4 5 girls' ten- nis squad are. left to right, front row: Doris Lem burg. Barbara llinrichsen, Roseanne Mackensie, and Virgene Penne- well. Back row: Fanny Carp.

Bolstered by the return of five of last year’s letter- men, the Blue Devil wrestling team completed one of the best seasons in the school’s history as they rolled through an 11-meet schedule, copping 10 victories against a lone defeat. ON THE MAT The only school able to take the measure of Coach Johnson’s charges was West Waterloo, perennial stronghold of Iowa prep grappling. The Red and Black, defending state champions, eased by the De- mons, 27-13. Coach Doug Atkins, left, and Coach 0. li. Johnson, wrestling heads, look over a self defense clsart seeking new ideas and grips for their wrestling squad. In the season’s opener against Rock Island, the Rocks fell, 42-26. After the initial win, Rock Island and Clinton were defeated in a quadrangular held in the cross river city, and Maquoketa was downed be- fore West Waterloo ended the perfect record. Rallying, the Blues smashed Burlington and Rock Island before setting a Davenport record as Gales- burg was held scoreless while D.H.S. amassed 34 points. After this display of power, the grapplcrs finished the season by trouncing Clinton twice, Ma- quoketa and Burlington again. Entering into state championship competition, the Blue Devils had little trouble in taking their own dis- trict meet as they rolled up 41 points to next-in-line Maquokcta’s total of 23. Unfortunately the Demons could not keep up their torrid pace in the finals and could do no better than a fifth place tic with Fort Dodge and Clarion, as West Waterloo won their fourth consecutive state cham- pionship. 90 HUI Side Football Don Ferrell Track Hill Hrase Baseball Dale Burton Basketball Ralph Rietlesel Golf T ennis MEN OF THE YEAR Jim ! ares Wrestling 91 JANUARY GRADUATES January senior dan officers are, left to right: Fred Czichas, boys' treasurer; Annabdle Micheel. girls' treasurer; Carl Machover, president; Beverly Schoonhoven, secretary; and Glenn lossi, vice-president. Receiving their chief’s feathers” for three years’ membership in the tribal clan, 120 graduates left D.H.S. to take their places on college campuses, in business, and in the aimed services January 26, 1945. Dr. H. G. Harmon gave the commencement address in the high school auditorium. Five days before, January 21, Reverend Wesley Perry delivered the baccu I aureate sermon at St. Johns Methodist Church. Seeing the braves” and maidens at their barn frolic party in the gym January 17, where they were dressed in motif suitable to the occa- sion, one would have found no resemblance between them and the neatly attired dancers at the Senior Prom January 25. Planners of these affairs were: social committee: Chairman Marianna Trckcll, Helen Koos, Annette Cochran, Jeanette Kinner, Bob Lamp- rccht, and Dan Petruccelli. Prom committee: Co-chairmen John Shenk and Ed Sieb, Marjorie Burmcistcr, Marg Schuldt. and Bob Riepe. An- nouncements were chosen and ordered by the committee with Carla Schmiclau as chairman, and members Bob Bawden and Jean Wagner. Working on publicity and tickets were Chairman Ed Sieb, Jean Morris, Janet Brown, Lcnore Breaw, and Bob Kerr. A day with Joe D.H.S. was portrayed in a senior auditorium pro- gram where the seniors presented their impressions of the three years they had spent at D.H.S. 94 VERDA ANDRESEN, Skeeter . ★ ROBERT BAWDEN, Boh”.

Bravely bearing the revelation of horrible middle names and hoping not to trip up the steps as they received their diplomas, 377 graduates lined the George Edward Marshall gym at the commence- ment exercises June 13. Blame for all dozing can be placed on the Senior Prom of the night before, where senior braves” and maidens” swung out” to Hal Wiese’s music. By then they were all over the too much pop” of the party given on the seventh. Dr. Alfred S. Nickless delivered the bacculaureate address at the service held in the First Presbyterian Church. Senior activities were planned by the commence- ment committee with Joe Terry, chairman; Carolyn Powell, Glenn Mattie, Vicky Jones, and Pat Foley; the social committee—Glenn Gierke, chairman; Ruth Twigg, Bill Brasc, Carolyn Cook, and Bob McCosh; picnic committee—Marjaleen Boeck and David Stubbe, co-chairmen; Marilyn Johnson, Jack DeSort, and Bob Lage. In charge of tickets and promotion were Bob Cameron, chairman; Clara Asher, Matt Thompson, Jeanette Seghers, and Sheldon Sitrick; decorations—Nancy Turnbull, chairman; Marvin Mulford, Hilda Willers, Wayne Sinkson, and Mar- joricdellc Nicholson; senior aud—Sally Erwin, Bill Baker, Leona Liska, and Jim Christensen; senior party—Ruth Lynch, Barbara Bowman, co-chairmen; Bob Bellcss, Eleanor Lagoni, and Henry Crambcck; announcements—Muriel Cohn, chairman; Don Hull, Eleanor Kchoe, Arthur Adams, and Marilyn Grim- scll. The end of the trail” of their high school career has been reached. If things did not always seem rosy these have been overshadowed by the memories of all the good times—giving the Big D” at games, jiving” at Homecoming dances, campaigning for Boys’ State, noons at Supcs, band, pub, room 29, plays—they will all live in the hearts of these 1945 graduates.
