Therefore we have tried to represent here the life that is typical of high school days — the days you will want to remember in years to come as those good old days at D. H. S. Recorded in this book are all the phases of activity in which sometimes industrious, sometimes carefree, high school youths engage: trips with the debate squad; heated discussions in civics classes; dates to Homecoming, Spinisters Spree, the Military Ball, and the Victory Ball; training for baseball, football or track; col- lecting props, practicing lines, and building sets for the plays; marching at football games in the band; selling tickets for the Minstrel Show, Hi-de-Hi and public speaking programs; cam- paigning for Boys' State; going to Student Council meetings; be- ing elected president of Spanish Club; singing in a'Cappella; doing the wrong set of problems for trig; being tested for tuber- culosis; working on an English assignment in the library; staying late after school to fold Blackhawk newspapers; looking over yearbook pictures; receiving a diploma at commencement. Thus, with the activities of this past year as our central idea, we have tried to portray life at D. H. S. as you experience it. The theme is YOU, and to you we dedicate this 1946 Blackhawk Year- book. Right: Barbara Willott and John Ingwersen entering our school, center of student life.

The Civil War Monument. 11) III I Superintendent Paul B. Jacobson The most important event during the year 1945-1946 was the winning of the war and the cessation of hostilities. But peace brings with it many difficult questions which must be solved. Full production and keeping in- ternational peace are illustrative of the prob- lems which must be solved if our war sacri- fices are not to have been made in vain. Boys and girls who continue to graduate are equipping themselves to assist in the so- lution of these and other problems. In addi- tion many of the students in the Davenport High School are getting valuable work ex- perience on a part-time job while continu- ing in school. Most of our graduates are equipping themselves for some vocation as a homemaker, a stenographer, a printer, a future college student, or a machinist. The community has provided generously in buildings and equipment; we are proud to know that you make good use of the oppor- tunities. Below: Mombors oi the School Board: soatcd. loft to right.

In your high school days, you have felt the impact of a terrible war and you have experienced the joy which has come to many of your homes and to the nation because the shoot- ing has ceased. Treaties have been signed but much remains to be done to win the peace. You are to have a large share in bringing this to pass to the end that you and your posterity may live happily in your homes, your country, and with all men and nations of the world. As a class you have contributed your share to school activities and especially to the demands of your community and your country. Principal A. I. Naumann It is my hope that each of you may achieve your fondest dreams for success. I want to find in the daily task A durable sense of worthwhile work, No noted place in the sun I ask. Just the strength and will never to shirk. Sincerely your friend. Mr. A. I. Naumann.

With the thought of seeking advice, help, or en- couragement, students unhesitatingly seek the aid of those who are experts in such matters — our counselors. Even though the counselors liberally extend their assistance, they have another important as- signment — to issue absence slips, whether it be for tardiness, truancy, work, or sickness. They meet the demands of all students In the counseling office a file containing schol- astic achievements, activities, and the character of counselees is maintained. Catalogues from all the major colleges of the United States enable a student to intelligently discuss a college when its representative is brought to him by the coun- seling office. Striving to maintain the best principals of life — such is the work of the counseling office. Miss Leona L. Soehren. director of counseling.

To assist 2,200 students in finding their place in the world, to acquaint them with the 29,000 occupations, and to analyze particular occupa- tions is the task of the vocational guidance de- partment. Too, Mr. Calvert, former director of the depart- ment who has now become principal of Sudlow Intermediate and Miss Cotter, have in previous years established a placement service. Mr. Ken- yon has now taken over the directorship of the department. In extra-curricular activities, too, there must be guidance. The task of planning sports schedules, promoting school spirit, and supervising pep auds is carried on by Mr. Goss, director of sports activ- ities. Loslio C.

Yes. in a world where free speech is a principle of daily living, one must take the opportunities to learn such things as sentence structure, grammar rules, and the works of classical and modern writers. Not only do the rules of grammar and the stirring tales of authors remain with us. but all the ideas of the class room are indented upon our minds. Many and varied are the courses offered. Be- sides the one year of required basic English, there are English III, American Literature, a study of American writers from the time Virginia was planted until the present, and English literature, a study of English writers from the time of the Anglo-Saxons to recent years. Newly added to the English curriculum are the courses of recent literature and creative writing. Aside from the regular English courses, an out- standing feature is the journalism course. With a rush on deadline night and the hard work of the newcomers, the department has published the Blackhawk newspaper and yearbook for twenty-eight years. Barbara Mclby reports on an essay in Miss Mirtiold's English Literature Class. IS � 111II Abovo: Mathematics instructors: Wil- liam Rosing. J. E. Day. Russell Bick- ford. and Michael Dardis. The intricacies of math have probably caused more furrowed brows and the burn- ing of more midnight oil than any other sub- ject. Those courses which bring about such perplexity are: algebra, advanced algebra, trigonometry, plane and solid geometry, and refresher mathematics. High school math has laid the cornerstone of many an imposing career. Engineers, doctors, chemists, physicists, astronomers, pilots, navigators, all require a thorough knowledge of this subject. The math instructors at any high school, our own included, must sometimes turn in relief to the steadfast strength of theorems and plain, everyday figures — unchanging truths in a changing world.

Since December 7, 1941, events have had such a shattering impact on the world that it is difficult for us to realize that historical events prior to these years are important. Much credit must be given, therefore, to our instructors who have helped us to realize that we must look backward in order to un- derstand the present and to chart a course for the future. The study of social sciences aids us in set- ting a pattern for the coming world. Ameri- can history covers the years from the set- tling of America to the aftermath of World War I. World History makes us aware of the part other civilizations play in our social developments.

In overcoming the conjugations of verbs and the declensions of nouns, our four lingu- ists, Miss Blackman. Miss Bates, Miss Eskel- son, and Miss Anderson, teach us not only those grammar rules but also the customs, the habits, and beliefs of many other coun- tries. Through such a department, the entire world is laid at our very feet Too, engineers, lawyers, doctors, and physicists of tomorrow's world will find their work in the language department a founda- tion for their future studies. Therefore, the job of the language depart- ment is to assist those future workers and to help bring about the consolidation of a world linked together by communications and science and yet separated by various races that speak and live differently.

Americans are proud that no citizen need grow up in ignorance. This pride may not be apparent to the casual observer watching the average stu- dent use his library in the pursuit of knowledge. Even the least imaginative seeker cannot fail to appreciate that whatever information we are looking for is here. Through combined efforts pamphlets, source books, biographies, essays, fiction, encyclopedias — all the aids to education —are made available to us.

Those who expect to become metal workers, carpenters, architects, printers, or engineers will lind the industrial arts building an interesting place. Mechanical drawing, pattern making, wood turning, and printing are some of the classes of- fered by this department. Printing the school newspaper, tickets, pro- grams, and posters for school activities are the duties of the print shop. One of the main projects of the machine shop is the construction of the C-clamp. In making this clamp the student uses every operation encoun- tered by a machinist. The purpose of the internal combustion and welding classes is to teach the care and main- tenance of a car. Arc and acetilene welding is also done in this department. Students who complete the mechanical draw- ing course may go into industry, to engineering college, or use their knowledge for their own sat- isfaction. In machine drawing, students learn how to make a working drawing of a machine through the use of standard tables. Architectural drawing stresses blue print read- ing and eventually the student is able to make a complete plan of a house. 21 Members oi Mr. Sis- sel's print shop carry on their daily tasks. .

Here girls learn how to make a home more than a frame structure. Among the offer- ings are courses in: home management, dressmaking, household sewing, cooking, and dietetics. Young girls who leave the building at the end of the year are prepared to keep house for themselves or to take further training in the specialized fields.

There are always times when a student has his ups and times when he has his downs. If the level of feeling ever becomes too low a student may seek the aid and comfort of the health department. Upon entrance to D. H. S. students are re- quired to take a physical examination. Too, at the beginning of the fall term, a tu- berculin test is offered to new enrollees. There are always such minor incidents as nose bleeds, cut fingers, or skinned knees, for the nurse, Miss Wilna Nash, to treat.

I� II V SUM L Through a door marked Boys at the end of the tunnel go some 500 boys twice a week. The work done by the boys on the parallel bars is outstanding. These ex- ercises are muscle building and help build stamina in young men. So out- standing is the work done by these ath- letes that they put on exhibitions be- tween halves of the basketball games. Volleyball, basketball, tumbling, baseball and track are some of the other sports included in the gym pro- gram. The boys go through a vigorous training program in which they try to reach the rank of Commando The rank is reached by passing a program consisting of ten points. Points are earned for ten separate tests which in- clude scaling a ten foot wall, head and hand springs, a twenty-foot rope climb, a pull-over on a bar, running the quar- ter mile in seventy seconds, and the al- most impossible feat of performing the kip on the high bar. Several boys' squads play baskotball. Slimming their waists arc the members of a twelfth grade gym class. EIIII f IT III HI Going down through the tunnel and turning to the right twice a week (four times for some) is on the schedule for most girls. That is where you’ll find a door marked Girls’’ and a place of action. Sports offered in girls gym during the year include: volleyball, soccer, hockey, basketball, speedball, ping- pong, and badminton. The dancing program offers folk dancing and social dancing. Each gym class is divided into squads. Girls line up for calisthenics which frequently include everything from bicycling to push-ups. Classes are further divided into larg- er groups that rotate every six weeks. While one group plays volleyball, an- other ‘ is playing badminton, and an- other is learning such dances as the Virginia Reel and two-step. The rota- tion of groups gives all an equal op- portunity at the sports offered. Efficiency tests are given during the basketball, volleyball, baseball, and other sports seasons in order to formu- late class teams to carry on intra- murals. The champs’’ are given medals by the G.A.A. As soon as one season is over, practice immediately begins for another sport. The girls intramural program is car- ried on three time a week after school. This program offers volleyball during the fall, basketball in the winter, and baseball in the spring. Girls of the eighth period gym class playing basketball.

I II T The fundamentals of art, design, painting, commercial art, sculptoring, and metalcraft - all are courses that are offered to the aspiring young artist. Posters, paintings, metal works, and murals are in evidence anywhere one chooses to look around D. H. S. It has been the custom of this department to supply needy organizations and charities with such items as menu and Christmas cards, lap boards, posters and cartoons. This year prac- tically all the goods went to the Red Cross and Schick Hospital. There is music in the air of D.H.S. We are justly proud of the accomplishments of the vo- cal and the instrumental music departments. Under the direction of Mr. Gannett, vocal classes including beginning and advanced chori , a’Cappella, and Girls Glee Club meet several times through-out the week. Music appreciation and harmony courses are offered to those who wish to study the finer points. Mr. Mortiboy, on the other hand, directs the band and orchestra. By the perserverance of both he and the ensemble, he has produced numerous fine concerts. Probably his most try- ing task was that of presenting the Minstrel Show. Although the music department has many difficulties to overcome, it produces the finest in programs. 27 Geraldine Collier. Roscoe Hourigan, Don Edwards, and Doan Helble check re- sults ol an experiment by using the microscope in Mr. Money's college prepara- tory chemical class. Students of today will be the scientists of to- morrow! And the scientists of tomorrow must learn of the discoveries of the past and present day. It is the task of the science department to teach these people the technical side of such discoveries. Tomorrow’s doctors, nurses, chemists, and other scientists are offered the course of college preparatory chemistry with college prepara- tory physics as a prerequisite. Those who do not have the required math or do not wish to go into the subject so deeply may choose the courses in applied physics or in nurses’ chemis- try. Entirely different from any of the subjects listed above but still an important side of science are the ologies . The names of biolo- gy, zoology, and physiology to many suggest classes that are dull and uninteresting, but when a student comes to dissect frogs, to re- move appendages from the grasshopper, to scale fish, and to touch slippery shakes, he changes his mind. He also learns the construc- tion of the human body. 28 Right: Gerald Claussen and Ger- aldine Williamson point to a dia- gram of a fish as other membors of Miss Johns' biology class look on.

I L The complexities of the modern business world demand workers with specialized know- ledge. Our commercial department offers an abundance of courses to the student seeking to arm himself with such training before ventur- ing forth into business. Included are courses in office machinery, salesmanship, and commercial law as well as the more familiar typing, bookkeeping, and ac- countancy courses. In addition to the standard commercial class- es. a system has been devised in connection with the retail selling course whereby stu- dents can spend half a day in school and the other half working at one of the jobs they have studied. By this means they benefit through actual experience on the job. Joyce Henzcn works at a local retail store in connection with the retail training course.

These courses train students to speak clear- ly, meaningfully, and easily. During the school year Mr. Keiber's public speaking groups enter various contests within the state and with groups from the neighboring states. The fields open in such contests are: debate, extemporaneous speak- ing, declamatory, and oratory. As student actors appear they are given the opportunity to study the fundamentals of acting, makeup, history of the stage, and stagecraft. Makeup classes are given an ex- citing and big job when they apply the grease paint and finishing touches for those in the Minstrel Show. Further experience is gained when they apply makeup for the casts of the various plays presented through- out the year. Abovo loll: Lois McCord. Lois Winborn. lack Thomas. Barbara Fluhrer.

The instructing staff were as follows: Professor of Mili- tary Science and Tactics, Captain F. A. Nolan; First Lieu- tenant J. Y. Wallace; Tech. Sergeant D. C. Wood; Staff Sergeant L. A. Francomb; and Sergeant H. L. Meyers. A teaching staff of four was left when Sergeants Fran- comb and Meyers left at the end of the fall semester. The fall semester student staff officers were: Colonel Robert Concannon, Lt. Col. William Bredfeldt, Majors Roger and Robert Hedberg, Lieutenants Robert Jensen and James Smith. The company commanders were: Captains Robert Kel- ler, Robert Beckman, Merle Prinz, Richard Schneden, Everett Christiansen, and Robert Hourigan. The technical classes included such subjects as: com- bat technique, range firing, first aid. sanitation, and map reading. 32 Spring regimental offi- cers. Bob Concannon. Bill Brodioldt.

Results of the Homecoming election found Pat Hartman reigning as Queen with her at- tendants, Sally Burnett, Eileen Nagel, Colleen Lemley, and Marjorie Winn. Opening the fes- tivities was the walking parade, the first since before the war. The Empire Room of the Hotel Blackhawk served as the banquet hall where Bill Chris- tiansen, Hi-Y president, acted as toastmaster. At the athletic field the honored five, escorted by the Hi-Y officers, walked through an honor guard formed by the band for the crowning of the Queen by Mayor Kroppach. The royal party then viewed the game with Clinton from the royal box. Climaxing the celebration was the informal dance held in the gymnasium where her Majes- ty was presented with the Homecoming foot- ball. The entire affair was under the direction of the Hi-Y Club. The attendants were escorted by Frank Thoensen, vice-president; Jim Smith, secretary; Jim Soladay, treasurer; and Don Ne- bergall, chaplain. 34 Group of Hi-Y boys with entry for the Homocom- ing parade.

Duplicating their 1944 grid season, the Red and Blue 1945 football team completed the sea- son with seven wins and two losses, finishing in fourth place in the Mississippi Valley con- ference. second berth in the Quad City race, and Championship rank in the City League. The two losses came at the hands of the two top notch teams, falling 7-6 against Rock Is- land and 12-7 with Iowa City. Yet, the Imps accomplished a feat that no other Iowa team has done for two seasons when they marred a seventeen game winning streak of Clinton by upsetting the River Kings 6-0 on the local turf. The Clinton victory kept clean the Blue Devil's ten year record of Homecoming victories. Coach Jesse E. Day, who completed his twen- ty-third and last season as head football coach, saw his '45 squad total 194 points against their opponents 37 and average 21.5 points per game while 4.11 could only be averaged by their opponents throughout the nine game schedule.

Coach Wally Schwank brought his fighting Iowa City crew to the outskirted gridiron and dished out plenty of trouble for the locals as the invading Little Hawks triumphed over Dav- enport for the first time in thirteen attempts on the Demon field in the Imps' initial defeat of the year, 12-7. The Demons met their second and last de- feat of the year, 7-6, at the hands of Rock Is- land. Local fans got their money's worth in the following tilt when Clinton invaded the Brady Street field and fell to a 6-0 Red and Blue vic- tory.

Although failing to win either the Mississippi Valley or Quad-City conference titles, the 1945-46 Blue Devil basketeers successfully com- pleted a tough 20 game schedule with a rec- ord of fifteen victories against five defeats. During the season the Imps rolled up 775 points to 617 for their opponents. The Demons polled their highest total of the season against the St. Ambrose Knights, hitting for 57 points, while the lowest mark was 20 tallies against Clinton. Gaining revenge for the previous year's loss- es, the Imps twice downed Muscatine, 25-14 in the season’s opener, and 36-25 in a return tussle. Opening the home season the Demons downed Franklin 43-32, and followed this with a topheavy 43-22 victory over Iowa City. En- tering Quad-City competition, the Moonmen dropped East Moline 54-49.

Clinton ended the Imp win streak with a lop- sided 51-35 victory but the Davenporters bounced back to top Moline 37-33. The Demons overwhelmed St. Ambrose and Dubuque before Roosevelt toppled the Blue Devils with a 27-23 win. A 34-31 overtime vic- tory over Rock Island put the Red and Blue back in the win column. Winding up the regular schedule, the Moon- men ran rough shod over East Moline, St. Am- brose, Muscatine, and Dubuque, while drop- ping games to Clinton, Rock Island, and Moline. In a post season tilt the Impsters edged out the Alumni 40-38. The Blue Devil sophomores were plagued by bad luck throughout the season, despite win- ning the Mississippi Valley conference, drop- ping five games by two points or less in com- piling a twelve and seven record. East Moline was the only Quad-City loop foe to fall before the yearlings, 44-22. while the Bridgemen won eight of their nine Valley conference games, dropping a close battle with Clinton 36-35. 51 11 It K S TU I It Coming through a tough eleven meet schedule with seven wins against four defeats, the Imp matmen topped off the regular season by capturing their third consecutive district crown and gaining two championships and fifth place in the State finals. The Demon grapplers suffered their only set- backs at the hands of West Waterloo's state champions, and Rock Island's strong squad, dropping two decisions to each team. The West Waterloo aggregation topped the Imps at Clin- ton and then repeated their win, downing the Demons 27-13 on the Waterloo mats. The Blue Devils were edged out again by the Rock Is- lander's engagements. The Imps broke into the win column as they stunned Maquoketa. Proviso High School, Illi- nois state champs from 1935 to 1945, fell before the Demons 22-14 in the season's third meet. Coaches Atkin's and Johnson's charges took the measure of Clinton twice, and of Vinton and Maquoketa once in a return bout before entering state championship competition.

January 1946 marked the first post war grad- uation since June, 1941. Even though the war was technically over, traces of it were felt when six boys received their diplomas in ab- sentia.

Sweater Swing the senior party held in the gym was under the direction of Janice Parke and Dick Schneden and the committee mem- bers Fanny Carp. Ann Goettsch, Bob Lange, and Lois Goetz. Many students began college careers before they received their high school diplomas. Others worked and postponed college until fall. Although the class was first in several items, it was last in one respect. This class is the last mid-year graduating class in the Davenport school system. With this culmination of firsts and lasts be- hind them 137 graduates depart for jobs, mili- tary service, and college. 54 Robert Roy Albrecht. Bob Majored in shop work. • De Etta Marie Ander- son.

After a disheartening start in which the Blue Devil trackmen lost the Mississippi Valley In- door meet by one-half point to Clinton, head Coach Jesse E. Day's charges sprinted thru a successful season. A shortage of long distance runners and con- centrated strength proved one of the Daven- port machine's weak points but superlative performances by various Demon thinly-clads made up the difference. Co-captain Joe Paulsen got off on the right foot by establishing a new Valley shot put mark with a heave of 49 feet. 11 s s inches. Tom Priester, Jim Hayek, and co-captain Bob Con- cannon gave the Red and Blue 1-2-3 strength in the spirts as well as combining in the short relay distances. Track coachos William Ros- ing.

Another victorious season was racked up by this year's baseball squad as they came thru 12 tough games in winning form. With numerous veterans on the squad roster, Coach Doug Atkins had many top-flight per- formers to choose from. Mainstay of the mound staff was Captain Don Hotop. who gave many stellar twirling performances. Holding down the catching duties for his sec- ond year was Bob Baker, senior. Returning in- field starter from last year was shortstop Don Schmitt, a junior. Patrolling the outfield were Bob Paulsen. Don Edwards, and Dick Hoecksema. all mem- bers of the starting line-up of the previous year. 0 CjfK Bob p. °u son Don Qrds PracHCo Baseball coaches Clem Bridge and Doug Atkins. 65 T Ii 11 I Loft: Members of tho '45-'46 boys' tennis team are: Row 1.

Bill Brod- feldt, and Coach Forrest Sis- sel. s The D.H.S. tennis team had a fall season well above average as the netsters captured four of five matches. The only defeat was suffered when they bowed to Moline with a close score. The team, captained by Bud Lusk, was coached by Forrest Sissel. The other squad members for the fall semester were: Bob Beckmann, Burke Dailey, Bob Mingus. Bob Hammes and Bill Bred- feldt. With the scores well evened up, the Daven- port girls' tennis team, coached by Miss Deone Gibson, girl's gym instructor, started the fall sea- son off with a bang. With only the Quad-city teams to worry about, the girls' blue team came out with a smashing spring season. Left: Gibby's Girls of tho '45 - '48 soason aro: Row 1 — Fanny Carp. Marilyn Korn.

And so golf coach Russell Bickford once again took his best foursomes out to tour the links in the traditional Davenport winning fashion. Divot-digging relations were established with two new foes, Peoria Central and Bloom- field, during the spring term. The other mem- bers of the Quad-city loop, Rock Island, Mo- line, and East Moline engaged the Imps in the traditional Velie cup rivalry, while Iowa City, Franklin of Cedar Rapids, and Dubuque fur- nished Mississippi Valley opposition. St. Am- brose challenged the Demons for the city title before Davenport closed out the season in the state tournament. Top Blue Devil foursome consisted of return- ing monogram winners Jim Fahmer, Chuck Hanssen, Bob Dittmer, and Jack Lambrecht. All proved worthy of defending local laurels gar- nered when Bickford's Boys captured runner- up honors in the 1944 state tournament.

One of the democratic projects D.H.S. annually undertakes is the election of senior class officers. This year the returns found Dave Thoensen elected president and Jerry Shipton, vice-presi- dent. The position of class secretary was filled by Fred Jacobi. Eileen Nagel was chosen as girls' treasurer and Wayne Micheel became boys’ treasurer. Aside from the election many senior activities were carried out. June 7 found D.H.S. couples dancing at the Coliseum. Baccalaureate followed on June 9. The last good time for the senior class was held at their final fling'' at Credit Island on June 11.

It is their job to make sug- gestions that will benefit the student body and the school. These ideas are put to a committee which irons out difficulties and formulates plans. The proposition is then presented to Mr. Naumann for his approval. If it is a much requested bill it can be taken to Dr. Jacobsen, superintendent, for final action. Elected as president for the fall semester was Bill Teegen, with vice-president, Bruce Neilson, and secretary, Arleen Plambeck. The Junior Red Cross members made articles through the year that were distributed to conva- lescent hospitals. Among the articles included in their projects were slippers, utility bags, and wash clothes. During the fall term elected officers were: Ro- ger Hedberg, president; and Alice Lutz, secretary. The Red Cross drive was conducted and a total of $148.13 collected. The main project for the second term was filling boxes for hospitals. Members also made caps, napkins, posters, nut cups, and table favors for all holidays. Members of the Student Council listen to a few facts givon by their advisor.

The Bible verse “Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth” Eccl. 12:1 is carried out with hymn singing, scripture reading, and special speakers at the morning meetings. Speakers who gave inspiration to the students included Mrs. Pierce, The Reverend George A. Magnuson of the Grand Avenue Baptist Church, and several ser- vicemen. mimiiiiius Intramural sports for girls are of two varieties, inter-class tournaments and after school activities Inter-class tournaments sponsored by the G.A.A. are held in volleyball, basketball, baseball, ping- pong, and badminton. Medals are awarded to winning team members. The after school activities consist of volleyball in the fall, basketball in the winter, and baseball in the spring. Thirty to forty girls take part in each of these activities which are held after school on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday evenings. Volleyball inter-class champions aro: Row 1: Pat Hartman. Lois Rathjen. Betty Duiiy, and Marilyn Korn. Row 2: Gerry Coilior. Barb Rulion, Camilla Dannacher. Joan Plambeck, Lois McCord, and Betty Lou Juergonson.

That's all wrong, start back at k-k for kitty, shouts Mr. Mortiboy as the orchestra re- hearses Haydn's “Clock Symphony for the Spring Festival in Dubuque, their biggest event of the year. In collaboration with three other state high schools, Burlington, Clinton, and Dubuque, our own music department showed its aptitude as a leader. Other selections chosen by the band and orchestra were: Yankee Doodle by Gould, ’’Iphegenia In Aulis by Gluck, and Russian Sailors Dance by Gliere. The state contest at Grinnell, April 25-27, was also on their traveling list which meant hours and hours of practice and short intervals of leisure. But the time was well spent. Both the orchestra and band rated highest honors with the horn quartet, brass quartet, trombone quartet, and woodwind quintet groups receiving firsts in the instrumental division, and seven students gain- ing solists top ratings. Another important event of the band and or- chestra this year was the sixth annual Jubilee Ministrel Show, which netted over $2,500. The band performed in the interests of the com- munity when they gave the public the Dear Joe Concert. The band, besides traveling to the above men- tioned contest, will journey to Chicago in late August to enter the contest at WGN studio. In the evening, with approximately twenty-five bands from the mid-western states, they will perform en masse at Soldier's Field. Also, the band played a prominent part in the outdoor ceremony in May, commemorating Iowa's Centennial. Although both band and orchestra members admit that belonging to these organizations call for many extra morning and evening rehearsals, the fun and experience they derive from them more than compensate for the disadvantages!

L r Music lover or not, everyone agrees that music hath charms. For those who wish to actively par- ticipate in producing such music, or merely wish to study it for better appreciation and understand- ing, there are outstanding opportunities in D.H.S. Performances of the vocal department through- out the year were varied. A major event was the presentation of a portion of Handel's Messiah ’ featuring 100 voices. Hi-De-Hi, presented Novem- ber 21-22, was a semi-classical and popular music program. Group participation was plentiful when various vocalists joined the band and orchestra in the an- nual Minstrel Show. Music plays an essential part in our lives just as it has from the earliest centuries. Without it the everyday humdrum of life would not be near- ly as durable. 94 Members of Ihe a'Cappella Choir rehearse. Above: Members ol tho advanced chorus.

The first tournament of the season. Daven- port girls' declamation, found Lucille Foley on top in oratory. Roy Keller captured first place in the boys' invitational which was also held here. The teams annexed second places in Waterloo’s an- nual contest. In the Iowa Nine Conference, the de- bate team posted a second, a scant point behind Muscatine. The boys' declamation team register- ed a second place while the girls’ team main- tained Davenport’s winning ways with first hon- ors. The latter tournament placed Davenport on top of the conference with Burlington In the Coe College tournament the debate team won superior ratings and Wayne Brooks led the field of original oratory with the only 100 per cent. Across the river the entire debate squad register- ed fourth in Augustana's tournament. In Moline's invitational the debate teams resumed their stride by annexing first places in A and B divisions. It was a gala ninth year for the National Foren- sic League chapter as Norma Cope, Virginia Day.

The initial pop-off was heard on November 29-30, with three high-powered, one-act bombs for ammunition. These were Lima Beans, a verse fantasy by Alfred Kreymborg; Happy Journey, a modernistic experiment by Thornton Wilder; and Hands Across the Sea, a witty, sophisticated, English comedy by Noel Coward.

Sizzling with wit and bub- bling with hilarity, this frying pan cooked up as tasty a dish of comedy fare as ever tickled the palates of Davenport audiences. Throughout the year the dramatic classes aided in supplying additional plays and pro- grams for high school and civic organizations, giving make-up demonstrations, and doing technical work for the high school Minstrel Show and the one-act play festival.

II LACK II I W k Beginning with the football extra in September, the Blackhawk started another season of news gathering for the benefit and pleasure of its student readers. In critical survey the Spring '45 Blackhawk received an All-American rating from the National Scholastic Press Association. At the Moline Press Conference in the fall of 1945, the Blackhawk received professional rating for front page lay-out and feature material. The paper also received the Medalist award in a judging contest spon- sored by the Columbia Press Association.

The occa- sion? Deadline night for another section of the Black hawk yearbook. The hands of the clock continue their jerky way around the hours and still the staff works on. It's not unusual to find them, weak from hunger, still valiantly typing, drawing, and identifying pic- tures by the hundred until 5 p. m. These other- wise normal students somehow let themselves get tricked into working on the Blackhawk staff, and when deadline comes they even have to spend their Saturdays in room 28. Nothing can stand in the way of Blackhawk work because printers and engravers, like time and tide, wait for no man. Staff members can take a bow for all the work they did. June Poison, Elaine Fidlar, Phyllis Miebach, and Lynn Schroe- der measured layouts and created cartoon char- acters.

Char Bates, Vera Haberer, Kay Hargrove, Pat Nighswander, and Mary Alice Walker ground out the thousands of words of copy. Miss Weeks was always on hand to check on things and correct copy. Last but not least. Mr. Sissel served as trouble-shooter for all the hard jobs. Whenever the book's prog- ress was halted by a bottleneck, the by-word was let Sis do it. No one person has any idea of the total work done to put out the 120 pages of the ‘46 book. Many hours of planning precede all the work. Pictures must be arranged, themes worked out, and background material for copy gathered. Then come tedious hours of measuring, cropping, reducing, and enlarging pictures for page lay- outs by the art staff. The writing staff writes, types, corrects, and re-writes copy to fit into the finished page layouts. Underlines for the pictures must be written and hundreds of names checked for spelling. But when April came and the book had safely found its way into the hands of the printer, en- graver, and binder, the staff remembered the fun they'd had in room 28. They looked with pride at the book they helped make a reality and decided it hadn't been so bad after all.

During the year, monthly meetings were held, and talented members participated in skits, talks, plays and make-up demonstrations. The club lost one of its sponsors when Mrs. Mae Elma Tornquist resigned from her position as speech and English instructor. However, her place was aptly filled by Mrs. Julia Krieder who did a fine job and was ably supported by Miss Opal Munger. Bouquets must also go to the officers who, for the fall term were: president, Jack Kuehl; vice- president, Sue Linihan; secretary, Barbara Fluhr- er; and treasurer, Ed Clay pool. Spring officers were: president, Sue Linihan; vice-president, Leon Hilfman; secretary, Barbara Fluhrer; and treasur- er, Joan Taylor. Many of the members are quite skilled as make-up artists, electricians or stage designers. The sets used for department plays were con- structed by crews composed of members of the different dramatic classes. A one act play entitled Weinies on Wednes- day was staged before the club. The cast in- cluded Catherine Mandas, Jean Decker, Nancy Hall, Wayne Eppard, and Dave Berg. Leon Hilfman gave his interpretation of Poe’s The Telltale Heart, at one meeting, and Tom Conover and Jean Decker also gave readings. The high point of the year was the Dramatic Club banquet in May. Who knows—someday members of this high school’s dramatic club may see their names in lights. 105 Seated. Icit to right: Jane Ann Gierke. Alice Lutz, Joannine Ahlgren. Shirley Frauen.

The organization had its first meet- ing on April 11, 1921, and on April second of this year, a grand birthday party was held to com- memorate the twenty-five years of the club's exis- tence. At this special program Miss Priscilla White, a former member of French Club, related her ex- periences in France with the American Red Cross. The fall semester saw Emily Phillips as presi- dent, with Shirley Mayer, vice-president; Jane Martin, secretary; and Phyllis Miebach, treasurer. Taking over the gavel for the spring semester was Louetta Petersburger. Assisting her. were vice- president, Phyllis Miebach; secretary, Janet Frank; and treasurer, Elaine Fidlar. Le Cercle has started a collection of French rec- ords. One of the most prized contributions made was an album on the liberation of Paris. Some of these records were made while the city was still under the yoke of the Germans. The members of the club promoted a drive to collect funds so that our school could sponsor a French child who was desolated by the war. The French club members of twenty-five years ago were also making plans to adopt an orphan of war. It makes an interesting parallel. 106 Seated, loft to right: Honry Moritz. Richard Boidor- bockc.

Christmas was cele- brated in the traditional manner around a lighted tannenbaum . The program included the story of “Silent Night” and the singing of favorite Christmas songs. Christmas cookies with anise and spice completed the party in the best Ger- man fashion. During the second semester Fred Jacobi again directed the activities. Nancy Hall was vice-pres- ident; Austin Healey, secretary; and Robert Peter- sen was again treasurer. The customary picnic ended the year's activi- ties.

Vim, vigor, and vitality are fitting adjectives to describe G.A.A.'s Amazons . The Girls Athletic Association has well over 150 members which makes it one of the largest clubs of D.H.S. Beginning the year was a welcoming party at the Bowlmor for the sophomores. In November a skating party was given at the Prom. Also held was the Spinster Spree, an annual high school dance sponsored by the G.A.A. During the spring months club officers spent a Play Day” at Iowa City. Members went on bowl- ing and roller skating parties. An interesting side- light was the showing of sport films in April. In May a picnic at Duck Creek Park ended the activ- ities for the year. Girls who received 500 point letters this year were: Donna Zinger. Peggy Peel, Barbara John- son, Marian Asher, Virginia Day, Audrae Witt, Jackie Hauschild, Edna Vanderbeck, Dorothy Stapp. Lucille Tuerk, Jeannine Ahlgren, Dolores L Carpenter, Geraldine Collier, Lucille Fisher, Pat Fries, Evelyn Kallenbach, Barbara LaDage, Flora- mae Gates, Martha LeBuhn, Amber McGuire, Elaine Miller, Shirley Mohr, Betty Owens, Dolores Pauly, Betty Peterson.

State pin winners of 1000 point holders were: Marilyn Korn, Betty Perry, JoAnn Ahrens, Dorothy Dietz, Margaret Huntington, Betty Laschanzky, Es- ther Little, and Marge Winn. Highest honors went to Betty Ann Denniston and Helen Schnoor. who won three stripe letters for their 1750 points. These points were obtained for participation in various sports either inside or outside of school. Spring officers elected were: president, Lois Mc- Cord, vice-president, Dorothy Dietz, secretary.

J i n: i ii ii i ii s m u To carry on social welfare, the Jane Ad- dams Club was organized in 1935. It was named in honor of the one who became known internationally as a great social wel- fare worker. Among the outstanding projects carried out were the purchasing of Christmas gifts and their wrapping for veterans at Schick Hospital. Other important events were the December Christmas party, a visit to the Davenport Public Museum, a style show staged in April by the clothing classes, and a playlet on the advisability of wearing cer- tain outfits. Prominent speakers of the year were Mr. W. S. Rosing who talked on life in Italy, Miss Catherine Downing who spoke on gracious living and Miss Catherine Illian, 4-H club president of Iowa, who gave a summary of her trip to a 4-H conference at Chicago. To climax the year's activities a picnic was held in May to bid farewell to the sen- iors. Officers of the fall semester were: presi- dent, Rena Kovitz; vice-president, Arlene Swiedom; and secretary-treasurer, Vera Pol- lock. Spring semester officers were, presi- dent, Joyce Elmegreen, vice-president, Irma Stoltenberg; and secretary-treasurer, Helen Timm. The activities of the club were carried out under the direction of Miss Cora Wilson. 112 LATIS CLIU Venerunt, viderunt, vicerunt . . . which translated means—they came, they saw. they conquered. These words made lomous by Julius Caesar, have become the by- words of the Latin Club. Comitium Romanum was organized in 1933. The purpose of the club is two-fold. Not only does it strive to acquaint its mem- bers with ancient Rome, its language, cul- ture. and customs, but it also endeavors to interest the students in modem Italy. To this end the club had as its speaker on March 12, James Christianson, a returned veteran and former student of this school, who dis- cussed his experiences in the Italian theater of war. Members of the Roman Assembly meet every second Tuesday under the supervision of Miss Minnie Eskelson and Miss Flossie Bates. Interesting programs are presented at each meeting and refreshments are served. Membership is open to sophomores, juniors, and seniors who are taking Latin or who have studied it. The regular Comitium Romanum pin is a miniature Roman lamp in gold with a D guard. Beginning in 1937, honor awards have been given to students in recognition of scholarship, interest, and participation in club activities. The awards are gold pins in the design of the Roman fasces. Selected to take over the official duties of the club for the fall semester were: First Con- sul, Jim Conover. Second Consul, Margaret Huntington; Scriba, Grace Harter; and Quaestor, Joan Paulsen. So well did these officers fulfill their duties that the Consuls were re-elected. The Scriba was Nancy Rohlfs, and Donna Zinger was elected to serve as Quaestor. Row 1. loft to right: Shirley Ficlc.

Two outdoor picnics were held; one in October to welcome the new students and one in June to bid farewell to the seniors. The April meeting fea- tured a trip to the Museum. One of their most in- teresting and informative meetings was held when Mr. Harry Banze, county superintendent of rural schools, spoke on problems of present day teaching. A Christmas party was given in De- cember. A new unit was introduced this year. Various girls at each meeting presented games that could be played in school. They have found it to be quite satisfactory. Fall officers elected were: president, Lois Drech- sler; vice-president, Velma Keppy; secretary, Ruth Wheatcraft; treasurer, Marilyn Fahrenkrog; and publicity chairman, Elaine Ewoldt. Taking over the duties in spring were: Elaine Ewoldt, presi- dent; Margaret Pien, vice-president; Lois Drech- sler, secretary; Ruth Wheatcraft, treasurer; Mari- lyn Schmidt, historian, and Marilyn Fahrenkrog. publicity chairman.

II HILL CLUB Pen and pencil are their tools. Imagination is their food. That is a vivid description of one of the oldest clubs in D.H.S. In 1908 the Quill Club, then known as the Pierian Society, was organized with twenty-four charter members. Today forty members belong to this distinguished club. Outstanding writers of the year were: Bob Min- gus, who wrote an essay entitled Why Are Girls That Way ; Naomi Miller and Floreine King, who wrote a number of original poems, and short story writers Lorraine Ingalls for The Decision , Mav- belle McCubbins for the Wishing Buddha , and Charles Colgan for Dark Waters . Betty Clapp's radio play, The Challenge was dramatized be- fore Quill Club. Sitting in the president's chair during the fall term was Pat O'Day with Dick Doolen as vice- president, Dick Barton as secretary, and Jim At- kinson as treasurer. Spring officers were: Bob Mingus, president; Julia Burkard, vice-president; Louis Scott, secre- tary; and Dick Doolen, treasurer. Special service recommendations went to Tom Koehler, Julia Burkard, and Mary Alice Walker. The club's advisors were Miss Mabel Johnstone and Miss Helen Thomas. 115 Row 1. left to right: Ann Mcinort.

By learn- ing to speak the language of our Latin American cousins and thereby understanding them better, they will endeavor to strengthen Pan American relations in the future. Under the planning of program chairman. Sally Zoeckler, the programs were delightful and edu- cational. There were musical solos by Pat Jacobs and several of the band members. Katherine Har- grove led a lengthy discussion on South American customs. The observance of the Yuletide season was of special importance with carol singing in Spanish and participating in the other Mexican traditions. One of the most colorful activities occurred when one of the braver members broke the pinata. This is a large jar hung from the ceiling and filled with Christmas goodies. Someone is blindfolded and given a stick with which to break the jar. On April 13 several members joined other Tri- City Spaniards” at the Pan American Day ban- quet and dance at Andreen Hali, Augustana Col- lege. Elected to govern Spanish Club for the year were: Virginia Benfer, president; Jim Conover, vice-president; Georgia Powell, secretary; and Myron Levetzow, treasurer. Miss Flossie Bates guided the club over any rough spots that oc- curred during the year. 117 Row 1. leit to right: Flora RobertB, Betty Roberts, Dolly Edwards, Pat Titus, Luciann Smith, Beverly Dahlin, Gwen Norton, Dor- othy Knecht, Pat Wron, Naomi Moore, Barbara RuLon.

Each month of the school year Tri-Y girls are doing something. September found them welcoming new mem- bers in a bang-up western fashion at the Round- Up party. With wartime restrictions on travel removed. Cabinet took advantage of the situation by first attending the Illowa Conference in Muscatine. October 13-14 and later both Cabinet and mem- bers journeyed to the district conference at Iowa City. November 24 Hi-Y joined the girls in a date par- ty at the YMCA. The year's activities centered around a drive to revive the verse of the school song which was presented in its entirety to the student body at an aud in December. Janucfty 23, Tri-Y held a mid-term date party at the YMCA. A notable addition to the club was an electric sign with the symbols of the Girl Reserves on it. March 13 found Cabinet at a chili supper cooked up by the club advisor, Mrs. Gladys Ma- her. Cabinet meetings from then on took the form of supper meetings. April was Tri-Y's most eventful month. Included were the traditional Holy Week Services, April 15 through 18 and a series of after dinner forums on Boy and Girl Relationships . In June the final curtain was drawn on a grand banquet. Here, officers for next fall were installed in a candle-light setting. Officers for the year were: president. Lois Mc- Cord; vice-president, Kay Green; secretary, Char- lotte Bates; and treasurer, Jane Martin. Charlotte was also elected as the district recorder. 119 v ei' T'ghl (IIIILL iinil SCROLL With pencils behind their ears and the live W's and the H filling their brains, these Quill and Scroll members are ready to take their places in the newspaper world of tomorrow Quill and Scroll is an international honorary so- ciety for high school journalists. Its members are selected for outstanding work on the newspaper or the yearbook. They must also be juniors or sen- iors, ranking in the upper third of their class schol- astically. It's not easy to get in Quill and Scroll but the going is even tougher after the primary require- ments are met. You see, then comes the informal initiation! Four pledges survived their raw egg and oyster diets to take part in the formal initia- tion at the annual banquet in December. They were Dick Balzer, Aldena Snyder. Bob Hedberg, and Roger Hedberg. Dick Baird was borrowed from the pub de- partment for the occasion to entertain the diners with a humorous reading entitled, My Symp- toms . Joe Boll was the feature speaker of the evening, giving the history of photography. Leading the group for the fall semester were: president, Barbara Hinrichsen, vice-president, Shirley Elman; secretary. Virginia Day; and treas- urer, Janice Parke. Those installed in the spring semester were: president, Virginia Day; vice-pres- ident, Joan Kell; secretary, Joan Taylor; and treas- urer, Dick Balzer. 120
