Superintendent ADMINI Another successful year has been completed for the boys and girls in Davenport High School. For the first time, and possibly the last time, large numbers of veterans have been enrolled in the day school to complete the work required for high school graduation. Many others have been using and will continue to use the facilities of the public schools for voca- tional training and upgrading” on the job. Dozens of other adult veterans have qualified for diplomas from the Davenport High School by demonstrating their competence on the tests of General Educational Development prepared for the United States Armed Forces Institute. Thus the Davenport High School fulfills its re- sponsibilities, not only to the teen age” group for which it is primarily established, but for many groups of the community. Good aca- demic work, emphasis on fundamentals, spec- tacular athletic contests, dramatic class plays, professional musical productions, and a host of other activities make for a good high school. Davenport High School has enjoyed another worthwhile year. Members of the School Board: left to right. Robert Alexander, Harry li. Schnoor, Bert li. Derry, Superintendent Jacob- son, Harry M. ISabsledt, president: John li. Baumgartner, secretary: Samuel G. Rose, William Blaser, and Robert li. Sass. fRATION To the Class of 1947: As you receive your diploma from the Presi- dent of the Board of Education, it will signify to each graduate that his secondary school work has been completed — that for you high school is out” forever. May you never cease to con- tinue your search for more knowledge and truth, for they will be revealed to you more completely and satisfactorily if you continue to work for them through college study, personal research, and honest work-experience. By the sacrifices of your parents and friends, by the planning of the Davenport Board of Educa- tion, and by the instruction of your teachers, you have had the opportunity to equip your- selves with good foundations for further train- ing in higher academic and professional fields, for jobs, and for more useful citizenship of the community, the state, the nation, and the world. To any work to which you may dedicate your individual lives, may you be a workman who needeth not to be ashamed. Remember that the changes that threaten you today and will threaten you in the years ahead also summon you. The world is waiting for your help and your message. It is alive and needs true live men to lead it. Do not moan like the nerveless Ham- let: A. I. Naumann, Principal but rather cry with Rupert Brooke, as he sailed to the hard campaign in Gallipoli: •Now God be thanked, who hath matched us with this hour. The best of everything to you always is the sincere wish for each of you from Your principal, The world is out of joint, O cursed spite, That ever I was born to set it right. r % Air. A. I. Naumann, Principal: Miss Ernes- tin Martin, office clerk; Miss Binline Steffen, attendance clerk; and Mrs. Norma Post, principal's secretary. 9 COUNSELING Miss Leona L. Soebren, director of counseling. Virginia I lac bet I receives counseling advice from Miss Jean McDonald concerning her schedule. The counselors of Davenport High School assist the students in every possible way. Their job has a two- fold purpose: first, the major task of helping the stu- dent in his high school work and to help him plan a profitable life; and second, to check in absentees, tardy pupils, and to perform other special jobs. A complete file of scholastic achievements, activities, and character references are kept in the counseling office. This may be referred to by anyone wanting in- formation on a former student who is seeking college entrance or employment. Other helps to the former found in the counseling office are the collection of cata- logues from all of the major colleges in the United States and the opportunity to meet the representatives of the various colleges. Discussing matters in the counseling office are members of the counseling stafj, left to right: Paul Still. Miss Lucille Burianek, Sam Doris, Miss Eva l:unk, seated, counseling secretary; Miss Mabel Johnstone and Harvey Voris. 10 GUIDANCE AND ACTIVITIES Lyle Kenyon and Miss P,inline ('.otter. co-directors of job place- ment service refer to the fdes. Both serve also as occupations instructors. In addition to the regular counselors, the high school has a vocational counselor, Mr. Doris. This special assistant has no assigned counselces, but is on hand to offer advice on questions of various indus- trial training programs. The vocational guidance office has helped many stu- dents decide on a job for the future. It is the busi- ness of this office to acquaint the students with the 29,000 occupations and analyze them for them. In the occupation classes Miss Cotter and Mr. Kenyon instruct the sophomores in learning how the people of the United States make a living, examining their own capabilities and interests, and analyzing one oc- cupation thoroughly which they think is suited to them. Several personality tests are given and var- ious movies are shown during the year to help in the fulfilling of the office’s purpose. By proper help early in life one can obtain the fullest enjoyment from working in a position for which one is suited. A job placement office has also been organized by this department to help students secure part time work. A great deal of planning must go into the extra- curricular activities. Mr. Makeever is given the task of arranging sports schedules, promoting school spirit, and supervising the pep auds. 11 Howard Makeever, activities director, receives instructions from bis prede- cessor, Leslie Goss. 9 ziea en and CLASSES The faculty . . . upon whom rests the job of presenting our work . . . and classes ... an everyday routine with a far reaching purpose.

English instructors: Frank L. Mad- den, Miss Margaret West. Miss Mabel Johnstone, and Miss Jose- phine Mirfield as they set up pro- tection equipment. ENGLISH Through conversation and literature, the nations of the world can become better known to one an- other. A thorough knowledge of one’s own lan- guage is basic in this plan. The English courses in our high school provide this knowledge. Two years of English are required for gradua- tion. This includes one basic year in tenth grade, and one elected course. This may be chosen in American, English, or recent literature, or in busi- ness English. American literature is the study of our prose and poetry from the time of the colo- nies to the present. The writing of the Anglo- Saxons through modern English writers are studied in the English literature course. Looking up matetial for English lit- erature projects are Dick Hanneman, Saucy Hall, Lorraine Pinnou, and Elsie Daduian. 14 The courses in creative writing and journalism offer excellent op- portunities for one to try his hand at writing. They are also valuable in acquiring additional skill in the use of English. In creative writing the students compose poetry, short stories, and skits for many purposes. The journalism curriculum deals with the writing of news stories and the study of modern newspapers’ composition. The courses in English give every student a thorough back- ground which will help him in later life, for without the ability to understand the views of others, and to express one’s own ideas clearly, we cannot hope to carry on a democracy.

Carol Linder, Hob Bryan, and Shirley Mangels present an original skit for a creative writing class. linglish instructors: Miss Hortense Pinch, Miss Evelyn Callendar, Aliss Claire Labi sky, and Miss fane Schmitz. 15 SOCIAL STUDIES Dick jobst, Geraldine Bormann. Dick Boll, and Mary Lou Hy in gate. It is often said that history repeats itself. During the war many people seemed to believe that events prior to this period were unimportant, but they soon realized that the war reproduced many of the exper- iences of past wars and that past experiences were helpful in determining present actions to be taken. The same is true, not only in wars, but in all rela- tionships within a nation or among nations. Much credit must be given to our instructors who help us recreate in our minds important events of the past. They help us understand the present, and they help us in making a pattern for the future. The study of American history should be regarded with enthusiasm. Stirring events and famous person- alities have helped mold this country into its present form, and it is we who will be molding the future America. The study of social sciences help us to understand the present and plan for the future. One year of American history is required by state law, and one additional semester of civics is also nec- essary. Other social studies offered arc world his- tory, sociolog), psychology, contemporary affairs, and economics. The students have a practical chance to apply dem- ocratic principles each year during the Boys’ State campaigns. This election is sponsored by the Ameri- can Legion in cooperation with the social studies de- partment of the high school. Social studies broaden one’s viewpoint in home and foreign affairs and a new understanding of others is the result. Social science teachers seated around the desk are Martin Schultz, Atiss Lucille Burianek, Airs. Helen Van Der Kamp. and Airs. Vera Pierce. Standing are A. E. Keiher, Douglas Atkins, Norman Ringstrom, George L. Potter, Denzil Nelson, and Boyd Collins. MATH Mat hematics instructors arc J. U. Day, William Rosin};, anti Russell Bid- ford. Davenport High School offers many and varied courses in the field of mathematics. These courses range from refresher math through to more advanced courses, such as trig- onometry, and advanced algebra. The recent war has made obvious the absolute necessity of knowledge of the fundamentals of mathematics. The study of math is applied to experiences of our everyday life. Engineering, medicine, avia- tion, and all sciences involving formulas or dimensions are based on the knowledge and practical use of math and its principles. For this reason, a mathematics competence test is given to all freshmen to determine whether or not they will be required to take an arithmetic course in their sophomore year. Those who pass the test may continue in math if they wish. Offered to students arc courses in refresher math, algebra, advanced algebra, plane and solid geometry, and trigonometry. In addition, sophomore arithmetic is offered as a supple- ment to the intermediate school course. The knowledge of these unchanging truths in a changing world will help us to build a better civilization for all men. Learning bote to survey are members of Mr. Day's geometry class. They arc Ted Fisher, John Bales. Becky Keboe. Sam Syverud, Instructor Day. Joy Wren, and Jim McC.lcnaban.

SCIENCE Science instructors watching Miss Minnie Johns preparing a slide are: Hugh Woodrofje, Harold Money. Miss Gerlha Stark. Paul Still, Miss Johns, Mrs. Mary Vinje, Harvey Voris. Miss Cora Wilson, and Mil- ion Brenneman. Many of the science students of D.H.S. will no doubt turn out to be the famous scientists, doctors, chemists, and nurses of tomorrow. Each student has the right to know the discoveries of the past and present and how our human body works. These are a few of the many things we learn in the five elective science courses offered at D.H.S. These courses are biology, zoology, physiology, chem- istry, and physics. The names of these many ologies” may appear dull and uninteresting, but after cutting apart starfish, dissecting frogs, and handling life-size jaw bones and human bodies, many students’ minds are changed. Not only is the science curriculum one of the big- gest elective courses at D.H.S., but it has the largest number of teachers on the staff. 19 dV 3ac . SPEECH Speech ami dramatics instructors: Mrs. Mae Elma Tornc itisl, Miss Florence Clark, and A. E. Keiber. Learning lines, debating, and giving speeches are all everyday happenings in the life of a dramatics, public speaking, or speech student. The main pur- pose of these courses is to train the pupil to speak clearly and meaningfully. Aspiring young dramatists are given the opportun- ity in a two-year dramatics course to study the fund- amentals of acting and directing, stagecraft, make- up, and the history of the stage. During the school term, two three-act plays were given and a number of one-acts were presented under the direction of students from the advanced dramatic class. In this way the students are given the opportunity to put into practice what they have learned. Make-up classes are given the big and interesting job of applying the grease paint and finishing touches to those par- ticipating in the Minstrel Show. Throughout the year the public speakers of Dav- enport High enter various state contests and enter- tain at community gatherings. Mr. Keiber instructs the students in the technique of debate, extemporan- eous speaking, declamatory speaking, original ora- torical speaking, and parliamentary law. The fields open in contest work are debate, extemporaneous speaking, declamatory, and oratory. From the public speaking department a service squad is chosen. This group makes announcements of various school activities to the home rooms, and serves as ushers at the graduation exercises. Speak- ers for high school affairs are secured through this department and the three public speaking programs arc sponsored by it. The speech classes serve as a background for ad- vanced dramatics or as a class in which students can overcome a lack of confidence in themselves. The speech students not only gives speeches but also en- ter into the field of interpretative reading.

I ron left to right, they are: Miss Florence Anderson. Miss Dorothy Blackman. Miss Flossie Bates and Miss Minnie Fskelson. Miss Bates' first year Spanish class seems to find their lesson eery interesting. FI sombrero” hanging on the wall is the class trademark. In these days when friendly relations with dis- tant and neighboring countries means so much in securing an everlasting peace, it is necessary to understand their customs and languages thorough- ly. Only through an intensive study of these fac- tors can this be accomplished. Here, at Davenport High School, we are for- tunate in having an excellent language depart- ment in which we can acquire an understanding and appreciation of the languages and customs of those countries. This understanding will help in the bringing about of a world in united peace. With the interest of the people turning south- ward toward Latin America, Spanish seems to have become the most popular of the language courses offered. This, as well as French, German, and Latin will not only help us diplomatically, but in medicine, law, and commerce. We can read- ily appreciate an education in foreign languages, and in years to come, we will find them useful in all fields of the business world. Through the combined efforts of the language department, the interesting foreign world and its accomplishments is opened to us. A French war orphan adopted by the French classes and French Club will benefit by this box being packed by Judy Sue fames, Carolyn Klise, and Dolores Witt. Commercial training instruc- tori are: Miss Lois llillemey- er, Aiiss Sibyl Blaine, Miss Della May Taylor. Miss Mil- dred Blair. Miss Cecil e Logic, and Aiiss Lola Weber. COMMERCIAL TRAINING The two courses offered by the commercial de- partment, secretarial and business, furnish an ample background in helping one to be successful in his job. After a three-year course in typing and a two- year course in shorthand, students are usually cap- able of taking a stenographic position. These classes have actual training in the workshop where they type and mimeograph things for the various school events. Courses in bookkeeping, office ma- chines, accounting, and commercial law arc avail- able for those who plan to make a career of busi- ness. After completion of these courses the stu- dent will be qualified to step into a business office. The advanced business students are given actual experience in the business field through the retail training program. One-half day is spent in school and the other half in working at the occupation they have studied. An ad l anced typing and shorthand class does an assignment. 22 Shirley Luge, Frances Rohwer.

When one passes the Industrial Arts build- ing and hears the drone of machines and the continuous roaring of the presses, he knows that the future industrial workers are at work. This three story building is set off from the main high school building and is particularly proud of its foundry, the only one of its kind to be found in the high schools of eleven of the surrounding states. In the printing department one would find the advanced classes demonstrating their skill in putting out the school paper, running off play programs, P.T.A. programs and announce- ments, or posters for various activities, while the beginners are learning to set type. Boys who are seeking practical education in welding, blueprint reading, mechanical draw- ing, patternmaking, and molding use a great deal of their time in the Industrial Arts build- ing. Vocational instructors, left to right, are Miss Aiildred Blair, l.yle Kenyon, Forrest Sissel, Sam Doris, Robert Weblage, and iMiss Pauline Cotter. In the machine shop the main project is the construction of the C-clamp. By so doing the students use every operation that a machinist meets. The internal combustion and welding instructors educate the pupils in the care and maintenance of the car. Making linoleum block cuts are left to right: fames Bebr, Howard Stoll- enberg, Russell Hermann, fames Fee- ney, and jack Kyle. IATIONAL EDUCATION Three courses in drawing are offered: me- chanical, machine, and architcctual. When the student has completed the course in mechanical drawing, he may go directly into industry or use his knowledge as a basis for future study in an engineering college. Machine drawing con- sists of learning how to use standard tables in making a working drawing of a machine. The future homes of America may be designed by some of those who have taken architectual drawing at Davenport High. In the architectual drawing class the students gain a thorough knowledge of blueprint reading and finally make a complete plan of a house. Timeliness, exactness, carefulness, and pa- tience are a few fundamentals that must be per- fected before a student may achieve efficiency for work in later life as well as safety at the present time.

Krieb, and Chester G. Anderson. 25 PHYSICAL The motto of the boys’ classes is phys- ical improvement”. In the gym classes, Instructor O. E. Johnson teaches his pupils how to build a strong body in preparation for their years of adulthood. Besides the many rugged calisthenics, the boys develop co-ordination and coop- eration by team sports in basketball, vol- leyball, and baseball. On the individual competition side of the gym course are the Commando tests. In order to attain the title of Commando, one must pass every point of a ten-point program. The list of the test includes a pull-over on the bar; hand stands; twenty- foot rope climb; running the one-quarter mile in, at the most, seventy seconds; scaling a ten-foot wall; five dips on the parallel bar; head and hand springs, and the old faithful kip on the high bar. Members of a gym class practice for a part of the Com- mando test. EDUCATION The girls’ gym is a busy place from morning ’til night. Since it is a required subject, all the females suffer equally from stiff legs or battered fingers. The former are the results of the numerous and varied exercises which start almost every period with a bang. The smashed anatomy could be the result of a fast and furious game of baseball, basketball, or volleyball. Each class is divided into either squads or teams for participation in the various activities which make up the year. These include badminton, tennis, ping pong, basketball, baseball, or dancing. When the inter-squad games of each class are over, the winners of each class play to choose the final victor. The champs” are given medals by the G.A.A. An intramural program is carried on three nights a week after school. This ac- tivity offers various games according to the season in addition to ping pong and badminton tournaments. MUSIC Examining the recorder are the instrumental instructors B. G. Schaefer, Robert Bales, and Forrest Mortiboy. The members of the music department find enjoy- ment and entertainment in singing and playing in- struments while they learn to appreciate the works of the world’s greatest composers. The choirs and instrumental groups are a living example of the feel- ing that our young generation has for music. A’Cappella Choir, Girls Glee Club, and the Ad- vanced and Beginning Choruses entertain at various functions as well as school affairs. Courses in begin- ning and advanced voice and music appreciation com- plete the curriculum of the vocal department. To those interested in instrumental music, lessons arc offered on the various instruments. After a stu- dent acquires sufficient skill, he may become a mem- ber of the band or orchestra. The band not only marches in several parades during the year, but also provides music at various affairs. It is through this group that the music at football and basketball games is provided. These two departments sponsor programs through- out the year to raise money for the improvement of the facilities of the groups. liach year a state con- test is held in both the instrumental and vocal fields. Members of the a'Cap pell a Choir prac- tice for the Minstrel Show accom- panied by Mrs. Paul Still. Left to right they are Bob Jones, Ed Fuller, Marianne Osborne, and Albert Lewis. ART Looking over designs are the art in- structors Mrs. Dorothy Gurry and Paul Johnson. Bright colors, vivid designs, and gay patterns arc the first things to meet the eye as one enters the third floor art rooms. Clay models, posters, and metal work, lining the walls, complete the picture. Other evidences of art work may be seen at various other places in the school. In the art classes the pupils are taught the correct way to put their feelings as well as their creative abil- ities into their work. The three-year course is com- posed of the fundamentals of art, drawing, painting, the principles of design, sculpturing, commercial art, and metalcraft. The curriculum of metalcraft consists of design- ing and making jewelry. Among the products that are turned out in this class are pins, various kinds of bracelets, barrettes, and rings. This seems to be the most popular of the classes among the students. The work in the other art classes is planned so that during the course the aspiring young artists will gain a knowledge of figure and still life drawing, textile designing, lettering, and free-hand script let- tering. Trademarks, book covers, wooden containers for various products, and pamphlets are made in Art IV. In addition to the regular class work, the students make posters and pamphlets for plays and various other activities. Poster contests are held each year for those who wish to enter. Those who plan to enter the art field as a profes- sion will find that the instruction given them in Dav- enport High School will serve as a good basis on which to place future training. HOME ECONOMICS The basis for establishing a successful home is taught to the girls in the home economics curriculum. Upon finishing these courses a girl may find herself equipped to do so. Home Economics instructors: Miss Florence Soller. Miss Inez Whitney. Miss Catherine Downing, ami Miss Cora Wilson. Below, right: Miss Haller's home eco- nomics class practice homemaking methods. Below: A household sewing class finds Freida Case, Darlene Beert. Lone!la Arp. Shirley Haddock, and Joyce Pyle knitting. The courses offered are sewing, cooking, dietetics, and home management. A two-year course in cloth- ing teaches the student the various fabrics that are on the market and gives experience in sewing her own clothes. Preparatory clothing and household sewing complete this part of the curriculum. In the foods classes the students learn the values of and prepare various foods. Dietetics can be useful not only to fu- ture homemakers but also to those who plan to enter the nursing profession. LIBRARY The library stands as the door to learning. Its many books, covering all subjects, reach out into all aspects of school life whether they be educational or purely for recreation. No matter what the cause may be for the student to use the library it is always ready for immediate day-by-day service. The library supplies information for the classroom and shop. Books may be found that are planning pro- grams for school clubs. The library encourages per- sonal hobbies, and stimulates the development of new interests. In these ways the library helps the student. Miss Myrtle Dnnlap, left, and Airs. Leslie Goss reviewing Mete hopks Tih tbo-dUfTary. HEALTH Always on duty is our efficient health staff, consist- ing of Dr. Carl Matthey, school physician, W. G. Tee- gan, school dentist, and the newly appointed nurse. Miss Imogene Sandway. A complete physical examination is given ever) student entering high school and the results arc filed along with other health records in the nurse's office. In the fall all new pupils are offered the Tuberculin Patch test. � g 20 hi - All students participating in any sports must first have a complete physical check-up by the doctor, and the necessary constant check on the health of the school body is followed by this staff.

RESERVE OFFICERS TRAINING CAMP Larger and more active than in former years, this year’s R.O.T.C unit consisted of five hundred cadets. Seniors were taught courses in infantry weapons, rifle marksmanship, battle tactics, and military lead- ership. Juniors and sophomores received instruction in weapons, sanitation, first aid, military courtesy, and discipline. Movies were shown to the cadets put- ting into practice what they have studied. The winners of the monthly inspections were awarded dark blue Neatness Ribbons, similar to the campaign ribbons of the regular army. The cadets were under the military leadership of Lieutenant Colonel G. L. Witt, professor of military science and tactics, and his two assistants, Sgt. D. C. Wood and Sgt. E. J. Cooper. The regimental staff consisted of Cadet Colonel Carl LeBuhn, Cadet Lieut Col. James Krumbholtz, Cadet Lieut. Col. Alan Jansen, Cadet Major Richard Barton, Cadet Captain Thomas Hammel, and Cadet Lieut. Clarence Hildebrand. The commanders of the six companies were Gunner Nelson, Thomas Ham- mel, Theodore Arp, Richard Barton, Bernard Kctcl- son, and James Conlon. The 17th annual Military Ball, doing double duty by replacing the mid-term senior prom, was held January 23. Elected by the members of the R.O.T.C. companies to reign over the affair were Honorary Cadet Colonel Marianne Osborne and the two Hon- orary Cadet Lieutenant Colonels, Georgia Powell and Mary Anne Springer. The candidates for these hon- ors were nominated by the various school clubs. A R.O.T.C. company drills. Members of the rifle team practice. Climaxing the season’s events was the federal in- spection on May 12, where the cadets were tested on drilling and for personal neatness and fitness. The gold and silver medals, awarded by the Chi- cago Tribune for excellence in R.O.T.C. work, were presented to Cadet Major Richard Barton and Cadet Sergeant Karl Schmidt respectively. In additon to these honors, the two boys were sent as Davenport’s representatives to attend a Chicago Theater of the Air broadcast at the Medinah Temple February 22. Honored for their splendid work in the R.O.T.C., the boys were guests of the Chicago Tribune. o.y;c . The members of the R.O.T.C. rifle team, who arc under the direction of Sgt. D. C. Wood, were entered in the National Inter-collegiate Tournament. This is an extracurricular activity of the unit. Below: Lieut. Colonel G. L.

W° illi- Faithful have been the band and orchestra of Davenport High School in providing entertain- ment for many high school activities throughout the year. The annual concert of the band and orchestra, directed by Mr. Mortiboy was given in November with its usual splendor. Both classical and semi- classical music were found on the program. Solo- ists were Marianne Osborne and Bruce Nichlsen. The band also provided music for the football and basketball games. The various clever forma- tions of the band were an added attraction at the football games. On March 7 and 8 the annual Minstrel Show was held providing entertainment for the three 44 The Davenport High School band, directed by F. E. Mortiboy. large audiences. The profits gained from this, com- bined with those of other years, will buy new uni- forms for the band and the orchestra next year. The state band and orchestra contest was held April 24 and 25 at Boone. Another contest may be entered by those interested in doing solo work. The winners of the local contest, held February 22, went to the district meet at DeWitt on March 28 and then to the state contest at Boone. ORCHESTRA AND To replace Thomas Collins, woodwind instruc- tor, the department was fortunate in securing Rob- ert Bates. Lessons for almost every instrument are given by the high school instructors.

Outstanding opportunities are offered in the music department of Davenport High School to those who find interest and enjoyment in participating in sing- ing or those who wish to become more appreciative and to gain an understanding of music. The choruses, a’Cappella Choir, Girls' Glee Club, and Advanced Chorus, participated in numerous school activities as well as entertained at several out- side affairs. This year the Girls’ Sextet, the Boys' Quartet, and Mixed Quartet also entertained at several events. The vocal department’s annual Hi-De-Hi show. presented on November 26 and 27, was based on the theme of a parade to the stars. Dick Baird served as master of ceremonies throughout the program and Jim Kepford was chosen as student director. In March the vocal department joined with the band and orchestra in presenting the Seventh Annual Minstrel Show. The music for both of these programs was dir- ected by Mr. Gannett. On April 26 the a’Cappella Choir and the Girls' Glee Club journeyed to Boone to participate in the state music contest.

The curtain rose March 7 and 8 on Davenport High School’s Seventh Annual Minstrel Show Revue. The Minstrel, which this year was in true minstrel style, is sponsored by the Band and Orchestra Parents' Club. The minstrel show tradition started in 1940 as a small project designed to raise money to help defray the expense of uniforms and trips, and has grown into a gigantic production eagerly anticipated by the citizens of Davenport. The 1947 Minstrel featured two stages. A small stage, built immediately above the chorus, was used by the dance line and for other special acts. Several beautiful backdrops were also featured on this stage. The program revealed a variety of entertainment, making this show one of the most colorful and fast- moving Minstrels yet produced. Numbers of special interest were Dinah, Ed Puller and Ruth Plambeck; Summertime, Pat McGannon; Honeysuckle Rose, Dar- rel Boyer; Kentucky Babe, Dads’ Quartet; Three Jacks, Cornet Trio; Mah Lindy Lou, Girls’ Sextet; Chatta- nooga Choo Choo, Grace Harter and Paul Bohnsack; When It's Sleepy Time Down South, Barbara Ott; Era and Topsy, Jolly Ann Horton; Floating Down the River to Cotton Town, Betty Barstow; Without a Song, Marianne Osborne; Impersonation, John Bish- op. A cantata of Des Bones Gwine to Rise Again was given with Ed Fuller as narrator and Jay Terry, Mari- anne Osborne, and Albert Lewis, soloists. The finale presented the chorus singing Louisiana Hayride, Great Day and Down South with the entire cast on the stage. The amusing side of the program was presented by the black-faced endmen, Alan Jansen, Bill Schlacks, Don Van Atta, Art Ehlers, Albert Lewis, Carl I.cBuhn, Ed Fuller, and Roland Schweinberger. Serving as interlocuter was Grover Vonder Heyde. Minstrel fans will surely agree that they keep getting better every year!” 53 1947 YEARBOOK Typing copy for the annual arc members of the sports staff, Jim Conover, Bob Nincr, ami Bob Peavler. Editor-in-chief of the '47 yearbook, Charlotte Bates. Once again April 1st rolled around and once again the yearbook rolled off the presses. Night after night, Satur- days, and Sundays found the staff working — sometimes in joy and sometimes in despair — to combine copy, pictures, and underlines in double page spreads. Organizing the copy and fitting it into the layout space was Joan Thompson, associate editor, and her staff. More Above: Judy Sue James and Virginia Hansen, class editors, mount the senior pictures.

Georgia Powell and her assistants, Marg Ott and Cay True, put out the club section with the million words of copy and a confusing number of underlines. Throughout the year copy writers Jim Conover, Bob Niner, and Bob Peavler pounded out the happenings in the sports world. And right beside them was Anna Dittmer sending in all other activities copy. But it was Blaine Fidlar and Lynn Schrocder, art co- editors, and Betty Benesh and Cay Turnbull, art staff mem- bers, who carried the real load. They measured and cropped pictures, drew up layouts, traced them, and occa- sionally tore them up and made new ones to suit the editors. And so the yearbook was put together page by page and section by section. And finally the glad words came, It is completed!

At the beginning of the school year the Blackhawk combined with the intermediate school publications, The Sunset, The Tiger, and The Youngster. The three Davenport junior high schools each had one- page in every other issue devoted to news from their respective schools. News gathering and make-up was taken care of by the intermediate students. The journalism department received a new adviser when Miss Jane Schmitz joined the faculty. Mr. Sissel continued as publications adviser. Through the cooperation of the print shop and Mr. Sissel and outside assistance from photographers, en- gravers, and linotypers, eighteen issues plus two ex- tras were put out. Vera Haberer served as editor-in-chief for the fall semester. Other staff members were: Patience Nighs- wander, feature editor; Evelyn Carthey, club editor; Bob Niner, sports editor; Anna Dittmer, picture ed- itor; Sue Nehlson, exchange editor; Marilyn Rosenc. general page editor; Hcrtha Socnke, circulation man- ager; Tom Hanimel, business manager; Marjorie Prig- nitz, advertising manager.

Jim Kepford was the student di- rector and Dick Baird, as master of ceremonies, pre- sided over the show which had a parade of stars as the theme. The show combined semi-classical and popular mu- sic with comedy. The theme was carried out by the chorus singing Stairway to the Stars as the soloists descended a stairway in the center of the stage. The soloists were Albert Lewis, Felix Medina, Marianne Osborne, Mary Alice Day, Marguerite Courtney, and Richard Allen. The Girls’ Sextet, Boys’ Quartet, and Mixed Quartet also helped to provide entertain- ment. A surprise act featured the Barbershop Quartet , consisting of the dads of some of the vocal students, with a true rendition of old barbershop songs.

Represented, right, are the carious clubs of high school, in pins and symbols, that students are proud to wear or carry. ■ G. A. A. Over one-hundred seventy-five active girls belong to the Girls’ Athletic Association, making it one of the largest clubs at D.H.S. The purpose of G.A.A. is to provide a constructive and well-organized ath- letic program for all high school girls. The club began the fall semester with a bang” by initiating approximately one hundred new members. The new members had to go through a series ol stunts at their first meeting, and they had to wear long red and blue paper streamers pinned to their sweaters with the words I’m in G.A.A.” The girls nearly burst with pride when their float was awarded first prize in the homecoming parade- They felt that their hours of long hard work were amply rewarded by this honor.

Probably the most important event occurred when the gals put their heads together and planned a su- perb Spinsters’ Spree. The work was assigned to sev- eral committees and each girl did her bit to make the affair a success. Over three hundred fifty tickets were sold to the dance, and everyone was proud and happy when it was pronounced a huge success- At Christmas time these ambitious girls thought of those less fortunate than themselves, and filled sev- eral boxes with canned goods and sent them to needy families in the city. To the tune of the Skaters Waltz”, the club mem- bers went out to the Prom for a roller skating party in January. Weather permitting, they had planned to go ice skating, but old man sun wouldn’t cooper- ate, so the plans were canceled. With spring in the air the gals became busier than ever. They held a swimming party at the Lend-A- Hand club, and the officers attended the annual Play Day. The closing activity for the year was the annual picnic which was held at Duck Creek Park in May. G.A.A. girls receive four points an hour for parti- cipation in various sports either here at school or out- 83 , lAary oU; ’tea� 0 %orotbl U� g .

The first award for five-hundred points is a G.A.A. let- ter; the second award for one-thousand points is a state pin; and the third award for one-thousand seven- hundred fifty points is a three stripe letter. It is quite an honor to receive any one of these awards and all the girls work towards this goal. The G.A.A. also buys all the awards for inter-class tournaments. There was plenty of activity and stiff competition this year for tournaments were held in baseball, volleyball, badminton, basketball, and ping- pong. All the girls look forward to these inter-class games and competition runs very high. Each team longs to be the champ”, so good team-work is exhib- ited in all the games. The officers for the year were: president, Margaret Huntington; vice-president, Grace Rhoads; secretary, Martha LeBuhn; treasurer, Janie Redden; and news reporter, Esther Little. The girls’ gym instructors. Miss Deone Gibson and Miss Marion Williams served as advisers for the club. 84 The Tri-Y cabinet members are seated left to right: Sally Y.oecklcr, Jean Lowe, Charlotte Hates, Marjorie Ott, and Jane Gierke.

TRi-y Every club must have a committee of some kind to plan activities, and this is the job of the nineteen girls who make up the Tri-Y cabi- net. The girls met every other Thursday night at the Y” with their advisers, Miss Rosemary Lacquemont, Miss Dorothy Blackman, and Miss Lucille Burianck. At these meetings they plan- ned their programs, social events and service activities. Chairmen and co-chairmen of the various committees compose the cabinet. The commit- tees are: program, service, social, publicity, re- ligion, finance, music, and membership. At the first regular meeting of the club each girl chooses the committee on which she would like to work. It’s not all work for these girls, however. They enjoyed their own private parties and they were privileged to attend the Illowa Confer- ence in Dubuque. A sneak preview of the Tri-Y cabinet ”slumber part, held at the Y.W.C.A.

It’s rag-time cowboy Joe!” Singing this cow'boy song and others like it, the Tri-Y gals began their year’s activities with their annual Ranch Party last September. At this, the first meeting, they welcomed all new girls into the fun and companionship that Tri-Y offers to girls of every race, religion, and creed. The girls not only get the companionship of others in their own club, but they also meet girls from all over this part of the state at the two annual confer- ences. This year members of the cabinet journeyed to Dubuque for the Illowa Conference in October, and on November 2, the Davenport Tri-Y Club played host to the District Conference. Each sum- mer two or three lucky girls are elected by the group to attend the state-wide conference which is held at some college or camp site. Tri-Y had reason to be proud of itself this year for pledging and raising one hundred dollars for the World Reconstruction Fund. The money is to be used to rebuild the Y’s” in Europe that were de- stroyed during the war. The girls raised the money by selling at the football and basketball games, by giving a St. Patrick’s Day date party, and by holding a bake sale in April at one of the department stores. Several social events were enjoyed during the year. The cabinet held a slumber party at the Y”, and the girls brought their dates to the Bubble Ball and the Shamrock Shuffle.” Tri-Y and Hi-Y collaborated again this year in the traditional Holy Week Services the week before Easter. The services were held at St. John’s Methodist Church before school, and each day two members from the clubs served as the leader and the chaplain. For one of the April meetings the girls planned and put on a style show. They modeled all types of clothes ranging from bathing suits and play clothes to evening gowns and date dresses. Later in the spring when the weather became nice, the girls held a picnic in place of their regular meeting. In June the girls donned their prettiest outfits and attended the annual installation banquet. At this time the officers for the coming year were installed at a lovely candle-light ceremony. The officers for the year were: president, Charlotte Bates; vice-president. Marge Ott; secretary, Jean Lowe; and treasurer, Jane Ann Gierke. These offi- cers were supplemented by a cabinet composed of committee chairmen. Miss Dorothy Blackman and Miss Lucille Burianek were the advisers, and the club welcomed their new Y” director. Miss Roseman Lacquemont. 87 DRAMATICS CLUB Hoping some day to see their names in lights, these Dramatics Club members are learning the ins” and outs” of the acting profession. They participate in activities ranging from backstage work to actually taking part in plays. The club is one of the largest in the school and meets the first Tuesday of every month. At one of the first meetings in the fall a technical director from radio station KSTT talked to the group about radio. He explained the many different types of jobs there are connected with radio. Many of the members were delighted when he recorded their voices and later played them back. A scries of one-act plays was presented at various meetings during the year. The plays were a project sponsored by the dramatics III class, and they were entirely student directed. Some of these plays were: Sham,” Andante,” Nobody Sleeps,” Dust of the Road,” and If Men Played Cards As Women Do.” A sophomore production that was presented was Three’s A Crowd.” Overtones,” another one-act play, was chosen to represent the school in the state dramatics contest. It is a psychological, social drama in which the under- 88 tones, or sub-conscious minds, of two women express their true feelings toward each other. The cast in- cluded Jolly Ann Horton, Mary Breault, Irma Stol- tenberg, and Nancy Hall. It won first ratings in the district contest and continued on to the final state contest. Another phase of work that these dramatics stu- dents enjoyed was interpretive reading. Ten stu- dents prepared selections, and of these ten, three were selected to represent D.H.S. at the pre-district contest. Nancy Shamon, Alan Hoovler, and Jeanne Decker all won superior ratings in the district con- tests and then proceeded to the state contest- This year a talent bureau was established for both the dramatics dub and the dramatics depart- ment. Their job was to select plays and readings to send out to the different civic and church organiza- tions. In March some of the club members took charge of the make-up for the Minstrel Show. Another club that is closely associated with the Dramatics Club is the National Thespian Troupe. The Thespians is a national honor society for dra- matics students, and in order to become eligible for membership, a student must earn ten points which represent approximately one hundred hours of work. These points are earned by taking part in plays or by working on the back-stage crew. In January an ini- tiation banquet was held to initiate those who had earned their ten points. The students who became Thespians were: Nancy Hall, Catherine Mandas, Ro- land Schweinberger, Anna Dittmer, Jim Conover, Alan Hoovler, and Mona St. George. For the first year since 1942 a National Drama Conference is to be held this summer. The week-long conference will be held at Indiana University, and the Davenport High Dramatics Club accepted their invitation and sent several delegates. In March the club held a tea-dance, and the annual spring picnic brought the activities to a close in June. The officers elected to serve for the entire year were: president, Jeanne Decker; vice-president. Bill Schlacks; secretary, Arlene Ortiz; and treasurer. Jack Thomas. Miss Florence Clark and Mrs. Mae Fima Tournquist acted as the advisers. SPANISH CLUB HI Circulo Espanol, better known as Spanish Club, has had another busy and interesting year learning more about the language and customs of their Latin American neighbors. Students serving as club officers were: president, Sally Zoeckler; vice-president, Marx Ann Hersom; secretary, Marilyn Axland; and treas- urer, Jim Conover. Program chairman, Jean Lowe, was responsible for the interesting programs, and Marian Gray, chairman of the refreshment commit- tee, had charge of the ordering and the serving of the refreshments. Miss Flossie Bates, who was the club’s adviser, was always ready to lend a helping hand to the group. The high spot of the club's activities was the Christ- mas party that featured the old Mexican custom of breaking the traditional pinata. When a blindfolded member had finally succeeded in breaking the beauti- fully decorated pinata with a long pole, the members all scrambled for the peanuts and candy that came tumbling out onto the floor. To Erma Castro, who is of Mexican descent, goes the credit for making the beautiful pinata, which was patterned after the real Mexican ones. Continuing with the Mexican theme for this meeting, the members all joined in singing some of the familiar Christmas carols in Spanish. Everyone enjoyed celebrating the Yuletide season ir. true Mexican style. April 14, Pan-American Day, was a red letter day for these Spanish students, because especially at this time they realized the need for better understanding and co-operation with their Latin-American cousins. In observance of Pan-American Day, a film about Latin Row I. left to right: Jack Watt, June Benton, Mary Ann Boland. Marilyn Axland. Jim Conover. Sally Z.oeckler. i'ay Wagner. Joan Campbell.

America was shown at the April meeting of the club. Also on April 14, several members attended the an- nual Tri-Cities Pan-American Banquet which was held at the Fort Armstrong Motel in Rock Island. Each school had to present a part of the program which could be anything with a Spanish theme. Dav- enport’s contribution to the program was some beauti- ful Spanish songs sung h Felix Medina. The club members put their heads together ant! worked hard in planning and setting up a booth for the Hi-Y carnival which was held in the high school on April 19- They had as much fun running their dart game as those did who tried their luck at throw- ing the darts. Have you noticed the cute little pins that the Spanish Club members arc wearing so proudly? The) ordered these pins from the corporation formed b Mr. Kenyon’s occupations students. The pins consist of the letters F. C. F. which stand for FI Circulo Fspanol. the Spanish name for the club. The club would like to keep their own pin to denote member- ship in the years to come. The May meeting, which ended the formal activi- ties for the year, took the form of a nice tea. The club wound up all its affairs and wished their senior members good luck. Also at this meeting the officers for the coming year were elected. In June the members held their annual informal meeting at Duck Creek Park. They combined their picnic with the other language clubs and everyone en- joyed the food, fun, and games in the great out-of- doors. 91 Rou 1, left to right: Harry Orr. Paul Burnteister.

The big activity that all the fellows look forward to is the sponsoring of the homecoming festivities. This year the club planned the parade, the banquet for the queen and her attendants, and, of course, the big dance. For the first time since the war, the stu- dents were able to have a motorized parade with beautifully decorated floats. In the realm of service, the boys put on a benefit in the school gym May 3, for the purpose of rais- ing money to contribute to the World Youth Fund. The gala evening included a dance, game booths in the gym lobby, and the election of a king and queen. Other clubs at D.H.S. were invited to take part by sponsoring a game booth. At Easter time the club co- operated with the Tri-Y Club in planning the annual Holy Week Services. Social events also made up a part of the club’s pro- gram . On New Year’s Eve a Sock-Hop party was held at the Y” for members and their dates. In May the boys took their moms to the annual Mother-Son Ban- quet, and in the same month the senior party was held at Camp Abe Lincoln. The club welcomed a new sponsor for the year, Mr. L. B. Kenyon, who, together with Mr. O. E. Johnson and Mr. Vern Harper, helped the boys over all the rough spots. The officers for the fall semester were: president, Ed Cassling; vice-president, Don Van Atta; secretary, Alan Jansen; treasurer, Jim Conover; and chaplain, Dick Jewell. Dick Jewell later joined the army and was replaced by Jim Hagan. The spring semester of- ficers were: president, Don Van Atta; vice-president, Jim Hagan; secretary, Dave Makeever; treasurer, Jim Conover; and chaplain, Bill Becnck.

ART CLUB Art Club was formed in answer to the popular de- mand of many of the art students who felt that such a group would he a definite addition to the art de- partment and a help to the individual student. To- day some twenty or thirty aspiring young artists meet the third Thursday of each month to further their appreciation and understanding of art- Outside speak- ers who know a certain branch of art work thorough- ly are often featured at the meetings. Their talks provoke a lively question and answer period and much discussion. Other programs arc student pre- sentations. This year the club has had the advantage of hearing several outstanding speakers. Miss Hli .abeth Moeller, director of the Art Gallery, reviewed a recent book. A Wall to Paint On. This is a story of a teen-age girl who wished to become a success in the field of mural painting. At the December meeting, Mr. Arthur Griggs, former D.H.S. pupil, showed colored movies which he took while he was stationed with the U.S. Army in China. An interesting and informative talk on Japanese lacquer was given by Mr. A. C. Kastman of the Davenport Public Museum. Father Catich, head of the St. Ambrose College art department, spoke to the club members on a subject which touches many of them: how to be a success in the field of art work. He stressed originality which, he stated, is far better than the best copying. The April meeting was a stunt” program presented by the members. The following officers were elected for the fall semester: president, Charlotte Curtis; vice-president, Charles Myers; secretary, Charles Bixby; and treasur- er, Pat Corry. Those who held office in the spring se- mester were: president. Bob Stock; vice-president, Charles Bixby; secretary, Lois Corwin; and Pat Corry, treasurer. 94 FELLOWSHIP One of the newest and most unique clubs at D.H.S. is the Early Morning Fellowship group. At first this club met every Wednesday morning at eight o’clock, hut changed their meetings to Tuesday mornings during the spring semester. The club is a devotional one and its membership is unlimited because everyone at D.H.S. was invited to attend the meetings. The purpose of the club is best revealed in its text which is taken from the Scripture: Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth.” The meetings consisted of a short devotional talk given by a number of different speakers, hymn sing- ing, reading of the scripture, and prayer. The mem- bers all agreed that the devotional talks were very inspiring and gave them something to think about for the week. The average attendance was about eighteen stu- dents every meeting. Each week an offering was tak- en and the money was sent to be used for some work in the mission field. The club is directed entirely by the students, and officers elected to conduct the club were: leader, Don Hall; and assistant leader, Richard Six. 95 Row I, left to right: Miss Dorothy Blackman, Shirley Sioltenbnrg, jane Ann Gierke, Elaine Fitllar.

FRENCH CLUB Now that the war is over in Europe, conditions are beginning to return to normal. However, the yoke of poverty still hangs over many heads in strick- en France, and realizing the great need the French Club gave a helping hand. The members of the club packed and sent boxes to the French children whom they adopted last year. They were delighted when they learned that one child had improved so much that he no longer needed their help. His portion of the money has been transferred to another child. Members of the club have carried on correspond- ence with pupils of France. They were surprised to find out how much harder the school children work there than those of our high school. The American soldiers had aroused the interest of the French stu- dents, and they were very anxious to learn of Amer- ican life. French current events and old points of interest were some of the topics discussed during the year. During the yuletide season a French war bride talked to the club about Christmas customs in her native land. They were also interested in hearing her opin- ions of America and Davenport, in particular. The annual picnic was held in June at Duck Creek to complete the year’s activities. Miss Blackman was the sponsor of the French Club, and the officers for the first semester were: president, Flaine Fidlar; vice-president, Jane Ann Gierke; sec- retary, Pat Gray; and treasurer, Shirley Stoltenbeg. President, Elaine Fidlar; vice-president, Nancy Me- CIcnahan; secretary, Pat Gray; and treasurer, Jane Ann Gierke took charge of the club for the spring semester. The program chairman for the first semes- ter was Shirley Keding and Judy Sue James served the second. Refreshments were provided by Betty Ann Schmidt and Roz Matthey during the respective terms. 96 JANE ADDAMS CLUB The girls of the Jane Addams Home Economics Club are constantly endeavoring to live up to their motto of Service to Others”, following the example of the well-known social welfare worker for whom the club was named. The group has been active this year with an average membership of twenty-five girls who are under the leadership of Miss Catherine Downing. The officers for the fall semester were Irma Stolt- enberg, president; Dorothy Ann Maag, vice-president; and Nadine Meewes, secretary-treasurer. Those pre- siding at the monthly meetings during the spring se- mester were Shirley Pick, president; Frances Rohwer, vice-president; and LaVonne Dreyer, secretary-treas- urer. At one of the meetings a former club member. Miss Roberta Mohr, who was voted the most outstanding 4-H club girl in Scott County, gave the girls helpful suggestions for caning chairs. At another meeting a highly informative movie on Home Arts and Crafts was shown. Many of the interesting programs were planned and presented by the members. One of the most out- standing of these was the Christmas program in which the main feature was entitled The Christmas Story with Song”. Darlene Wessell and June Pollock served as narrators. Following the program all the girls joined in the singing of carols. The float which the club entered in the annual Homecoming parade won third prize for its attractive- ness. The annual picnic in May closed the year’s activi- ties. Homemakers of tomorrow are the members of the Jane Addams Club.

LATIN CLUB Commitum Romanum was organized in 1933 to supplement, for all interested Latin students, their study of that classic language. Ever since then, it has been a group of high membership and student inter- est. Gold club pins, which arc in the shape of mina- ture Roman lamps, are available for all members de- siring them. A new feature in the club this year was the award- ing of small diplomas to all those who achieved per- fect attendance. This experiment was a success, for thirty-three of the eighty members received this re- cognition. These members found the programs to be enter- taining as well as educational. They learned painless- ly about the lives of the ancient Romans through short dramatizations put on by fellow members. The singing of Latin songs helped to make the language- more real and quizzes sharpened their wits. An unique meeting was held in October in the form of a birthday celebration for the Roman poet, Virgil, while for- tune telling highlighted still another meeting. However, not ail of the club activities were mere- entertainment for the members. Latin Club proved it- self to be of real sen-ice to the community when, at Christmas time, instead of the usual gift exchange, each of the members bought a toy for some underpriv- iledged child. These toys were collected and contrib- uted to the Jaycec Christmas Fund for underprivileged children. The group received recognition for this act in both of the local papers. Representatives from Latin Club sold candy, pop, and ice cream at the football and basketball games. Proceeds from these sales went into a growing fund which will eventually buy a screen and slides for club use. Guiding the year’s activities were Miss Minnie Esk- elson and Miss Flossie Bates, Latin teachers. They were assisted in the fall semester by the following student officers: Nancy Rohlfs, first consul; Betty Kick- hoff, second consul; Joan Thompson, scriba; and June Bender, quaestor. These offices were taken over in the spring semester by Mary Anne Springer, first con- sul; Herbert Hendricksen, second consul; Meg Mac- Taggat, scriba; and Dconc Lee, quactor.

Only students taking the normal training course are eligible for member- ship in the club. The most outstanding program for the year took place at the November meeting when Mr. Benze, county superintendent of schools, spoke to the group. The meeting honored the 1946 grads because of the outstanding work they had done teaching in the coun- ty schools this past year. They discussed with the club members some of the problems they had to face, and the solutions they found. All the members enjoyed the Christmas party and exchange which was held to celebrate the holiday sea- son. The Activities Room was decorated in the tra- ditional Christmas red and green for the occasion. The next big activity was the spring picnic which was held at Duck Creek Park. The picnic was plan- ned and sponsored by the juniors in honor of the sen- iors. To close the year’s activities, the annual banquet was held at the Lend-A-Hand Club in June. Raymond Schult acted as the toastmaster, and the program in- cluded the reading of the senior class will and pro- phecy. '['he officers for the fall semester were: president, Adeline O’Connell; vice-president, Erna Mart .; sec- retary, Marilyn Schmidt; treasurer, Angela Anoton- polis; and historian, Lucille Rochau. The spring se- mester officers were: president, Lucille Rochau; vice- president, Lucille Blondell; secretary, Erna Mart .; treasurer, Claire Thompson; and historian, Angela Antonopolis. Mrs. Vera Pierce, who teaches the nor- mal training course, was the adviser of the group. 99 Row I, left to right: Kent. Betts, Jim Krumhholtz, (.art Bubo. Richard Ratliff, 1 h cod Arp.

Bill Gress, Dick Ban OFFICERS CLUB Perhaps the most exclusive club around D.H.S. is the R.O.T.C., Officers Club. Only officers of the R.O. T.C. are eligible for membership in this club, which holds its meetings every other Wednesday after school in the R.O.T.C. room. The purpose of the club is to review the R.O.T.C. programs and discuss any problems which might arise. They handled all details for the annual federal in- spection which was held in May. Each spring the regiments march to Vander Veer Park for maneuvers, and the officers must take charge on these occasions. They see that each boy does his part in making his company one of which to be proud. It isn’t all drill, inspection, and military tactics for these young men. They also planned and enjoyed sev- eral social events during the year. These included stag parties and parties for the fellows and their dates. The biggest job that the boys undertake each year is the planning of the annual Military Ball. Commit- tees were appointed to arrange for all the details of the big event so that every thing would run smooth- ly. They conducted the election for Honarary Cadet Colonel and Lieutenant Colonels, and then Cadet Col- onel Carl LeBuhn and Cadet Lieutenant Colonels Jim Krumhholtz and Alan Jansen escorted Honorary Col- onel Marianne Osborne and Honorary Lieutenant Colonels Mary Anne Springer and Georgia Powell to the military banquet and ball. Credit should be given to these boys for the excellent job they did in plan- ning the officers banquet and for taking care of all the important details for the dance. The boys could turn to Colonel George Witt, their adviser, for any help they might have needed. The officers for the club were: president, Carl LeBuhn; vice-president, Theodore Arp; secretary, Dick Barton; and treasurer, Jim Krumhholtz. 100 Row I, left to right: Virgil Dil- lon, Carl Aiders, Theodore Arp, Ray Sutton, Roy Gerbcrick.

Service Club. These boys arc always ready and willing to lend a helping hand, and they find themselves working on all sorts of jobs. The club met every other Tuesday after school, and the meetings were devoted to discussing service pro- jects which they had been asked to undertake. The officers elected to serve for the year were: president, Theodore Arp; vice-president, Carl Meiers; secretary, Virgil Dillon; and treasurer, John Korgcl. Colonel George Witt of the R.O.T.C. staff was the adviser for the club. The Service Club starts to work each year with the opening of the football season. Before every game the crowd stands at attention while members of the club raise the stars and stripes.” Between halves these boys can be seen busily working at the conces- sion stands. The dances at D.H.S. would not be so enjoyable if these ambitious boys did not help. They arc always on the spot to check coats, sell refreshments, and to help organize the grand march. At other school fun- tions the club members take over the job of ushering. In the way of social events the club decided to try something new this year. On April 9, a banquet was held at the Davenport Hotel for the members and their dates. A banquet committee was chosen to make the arrangements. Virgil Dillon served as the chair- man of the committee and he was assisted by LaVerne Dohrman and Bob Thiessen. D.H.S. is proud to claim an organization like this Service Club. 101 QUILL CLUB Frank Plambeck arrests Jay Terry as Bon- nie Shir law and Patsy Isaacs look on dur- ing a tense scene from the play The Simple Life’s the Best.” With a number of aspiring young writers among its membership, the Quill Club presented many origi- nal plays, poems, stories, and radio skits at its meet- ings. Those who contributed to the programs were Bob Bryan, Carolyn Klise, Shirley Mangels, Bob bar- ber, Mary Kelley, Carol Linder, and Marilyn Wil- liams. The outstanding piece of work for the year was an original play, The Simple Life's the Best”, which was written by Marilyn Williams and was presented at one of the meetings. The play is about two spinster sisters who live in an isolated part of New York State. These two innocent old ladies are nearly swin- dled out of their inheritance by a city slicker”. In the line of social activities, the members planned a Christmas program and party, and, in the spring, the annual picnic was held. The officers for the fall semester were: president, Lois Hutson; vice-president, Ardella Banta; secretary. Bob Bryan; treasurer, Shirley Mangels; and program chairman, Arlene Ortiz. The spring semester officers were: president, Joyce Tedford; vice-president, Shirley Mangels; secretary. Bill McGlauthcn; treasurer, Ar- lene Ortiz; and program chairman, Frank Plambeck. Miss Mabel Johnstone was the adviser for the club. Row I, left to right: Roger Dahms, Maurie Rosen. Herb Henderickson. Carol Chowning, Lois Pagel. Dorothy Loeding, Melra Kardel, Ramona Stoner.

QUILL SCROLL The members of Quill and Scroll proudly wear the little gold pins that signify membership in this Inter- national Honorary Society for High School Journal- ists. They spent many a long and weary hour in Room 29 before they became eligible to be initiated into the club. Membership is only open to those who have taken or are taking journalism, and it is based on the individual’s scholastic record and the number of inches” he has had published in the school paper. The purpose of the Quill and Scroll organization is to draw together journalism students from all over the world. This enables them to exchange ideas and to receive help from other clubs on the problems of editing and publishing a school newspaper and year- book. Most of this contact is made through a monthly magazine which is sent to all club members. The members enjoyed planning and holding two informal initiations for the students who were eligible to become pledges. The poor unsuspecting pledges had to wear crazy costumes, serve the members, and plan some form of entertainment for them. It was all in fun and after the initiation was over, refreshments were served to the new club members. Those who were initiated in February were Jim Conover, Marilyn Rosene, and Anna Dittmer. Several more pledges were made members late in May. The annual publications banquet, which was for the whole journalism department, was held in June. The high spot of the evening’s program occurred when the 1946-1947 yearbook was presented to the group. The officers for the entire year were: president, Vera Haberer; vice-president, Georgia Powell; secre- tary, Charlotte Bates; treasurer, Patience Nighswan- der; and initiation chairman. Bob Niner. The club’s advisers were Miss Jane Schmitz and Forrest Sissel. 103 Row I. left to right: Cknits Koehler. Nancy Hull, Jim Res nick. Marianne Oshorne. Ron 2: Miss Florence Anderson.

GERMAN CLUB HORIZON CLUB Members of German Club strive to improve their knowledge of the language by such activities as play- ing word games, listening to German records and singing German songs. The festive Christmas program was highlighted b Nancy Hall’s recitation of Why the Chimes Rang.” To conclude the program Marianne Osborne sang several of the old German Christmas carols. Nancy Hall served as president for the entire year. She was assisted in the first semester by: vice-presi- dent, Charles Koehler; secretary, Virginia Hansen; and treasurer, James Resnick. For the second semes- ter the officers were: vice-president, James Matsen; secretary, Henry Moritz; and treasurer, Harvey Prinz. Offering fun and fellowship to all girls, the Hori- zon Club has completed its second year as a D.H.S. club. The club, which is the senior division of the Camp Fire Girls, meets twice a month; one is a busi- ness meeting and the other a social gathering. The girls have a well-balanced program including both service projects and social activities. They have made place mats, valentines, and Christmas decora- tions for the patients at Pine Knoll Sanatorium. The adviser for the club was Miss Florence Ander- son, and the officers for the fall term were: president, Lorma Collier; secretary, Lois Corwin; and treasurer, Virginia Hansen. The officers for the spring semester were: president, Beverly Coffelt; secretary, Dorothy Ann Maag; and treasurer, Ella Nora Honeycutt. Rote 1, left to right: Grace Hard- er, Virginia Hansen.

The cheering section, the con- gratulations for the team or an indi- vidual, the last minute pep rallies make a team come alive and pull in high scores. And after the game comes the inevitable shower .... right, Tom Sten- ger soaping up after a basketball game. Yes, through all the years, it is the sports activities that bind the school in spirit. FOOI Right: Another touchdown uas chalked up for the Blue Devils as this Davenport player entered the end zone. 108 Above: Mel Guenther, Herman Walters. Wayne Bucks, and Dick Colson represent the re- turning veterans on the 1946 football squad. Booth,til Coach Wally Schu auk instructs Joe Paulsen and l:red Ruck in a hidden-hall play. Coach Walter F. Schwank returned to Davenport High after an absence of sixteen years to succeed his former coach, Jess E. Day, as football coach and to become the head athletic director at his alma mater. It seemed no hard job for him to become accustomed to the scene as he led the Blue Devils through the season with only one setback. They won seven and were tied twice. Despite a twelve point handicap in the second quarter, the Demons were able to break through and win the sea- sonal opener with Burlington 26-19. The second tilt proved to be no contest at all as the Imps entertained a supposedly powerful eleven from Tilden Tech in Chicago and bowled them over with a 34-8 onslaught. Having gained the con- fidence of a two game winning streak, the Blue Devils pre- pared for a contest with an unbeaten, untied, squad from Iowa City. The Little Hawks bounced the Red and Blue out of the Mississippi Valley title as they walked off with 3ALL Bill Wanzt l poses before throwing a pass in an Imp practice session. He is being capably guarded by fim Rock and Don Paulsen. a 7-0 win. This proved to be the only setback of the season for Coach Wally and it put them one loss out of first place behind the Iowa City team. The Maroons from across the river at Moline High School felt the rebound as the Imps got back on the band- wagon to win their third game by trouncing their oppon- ents 25-6. The fifth game of the season pitted Davenport against the Rams from Dubuque in the local’s twelfth an- nual homecoming festival. The Imps showed their true colors by turning back the Rams 20-7. This was Dubuque’s fourth attempt to blot the homecoming record that has been kept clean since its origin in 1935. Having once again collected a winning streak of two games, the Demons traveled across the river to meet the Crimson from Rock Island who were downed by the Imps 19-6. As had happened previously, the winning streak was ended. The Rocks came from behind and knotted the score Above: I:red Ruck, Blue Devil quar- terback, leaps into the air to let loose a long pass in one of the Davenport games.

Once again the Demons rebounded and this time it was the Clinton River Kings who felt the revengeful comeback as they were topped 19-6. And once again Coach Wally hung up two in a row as he rolled his powerful eleven over the Hilltoppers of East Moline by the score of 32-14. This was the fourth straight victory for the Blue Devils on the Brady Street Field and the eighth of the ten- game schedule. For the third straight time the Imps went into a contest with a two game winning streak. This time it was the Thunderbolts from Franklin High School of Cedar Rapids who stemmed the tide by pulling a sur- prise and holding the strong Davenport eleven to a tie. The final game of the schedule was played against the Knights of St. Ambrose on the Brady Street Field. The Imps had an easy time of it as they once again rebounded 38-12. At the season’s end Wally’s squad received a statue for winning first place in the Quad City race and also the one for copping the City title. The Demons came in a close second behind the Little Hawks of Iowa City for the Mississippi Valley Conference crown. Joe Paulsen topped the scoring parade at D.H.S. as he racked up eighty-seven points. Fred Ruck and Rog Warnock were the only other players to come close to this mark as they made thirty-six and thiry-five points respectively. Squad members preparing to go into the backfield are Joe Paulsen, Bill Wanzell. Fred Ruck, and Lavance Moore. 110 foe Paulsen drives through the line for another Daven- port touchdown.

In the Sub-State tourney at Iowa City, Muscatine fell by the wayside 42-26, and Franklin High of Cedar Rapids was defeated for the second time 43-29, giving the Imps the Sub-State tournament. Surging into State tournament competition, the De- mon powerhouse overwhelmed Diagonal 59-33, and rolled over Alton 42-22, and staged a furious battle with a hard-fighting Ottumwa five in the semi-finals. Surg- ing from behind, with 45 seconds left in the game, Fred Ruck, center, flipped in two free throws which gave the Blue Devils a thrilling 31-30 victory. Fntcring the State finals at the Iowa fieldhouse, the Blue Devils met up with a highly regarded Sioux City Central five and subdued them without too much trouble, 42-23, to bring home the State Championship. Concluding their Mississippi Valley conference schedule, the Imps managed to place fifth with 6 wins and 5 defeats. The Blue Devil cagers copped the City Championship by downing the St. Ambrose squad twice and climaxed the season’s play with a 63-32 victory over the Moline Maroons, tying for the Quad-City title with the Fast Moline Panthers. Bill Jones, Skip Greene (back to camera), and Dan Hadaway look disappointed as the Imps lose a val- uable two points. The sophomore squad captured the Mississippi Valley Conference crown for the twelfth consecutive time with ten wins and one loss. Davenport was definitely knocked out of the Quad-City race as they dropped contests to Moline, Rock Island, and two to East Moline. Art Kenyon took first place and Ward Shawver, sev- enth, in the Mississippi Valley scoring parade with 144 and 84 points respectively. 114 SOPHOMORE SCHEDULE We They Nov. 29 Muscatine 29 19 Dec. 6 East Moline 25 34 Dec. 7 Iowa City 38 34 Dec. 13 Clinton 46 21 Dec. 20 Franklin, Cedar Rapids 54 13 Dec. 21 East High, Waterloo 52 25 Dec. 31 Moline 34 36 Jan. 3 Dubuque 36 29 Jan. 11 Rock Island 31 24 Jan. 17 St. Ambrose 26 27 Jan. 18 Muscatine 36� 12 Jan. 24 West High, Waterloo 41 28 Jan. 31 Clinton 44 41 Feb. 1 East Moline 27 29 Feb. 7 Iowa City 26 28 Feb. 8 McKinley 21 18 Feb. 14 Roosevelt 37 17 Feb. 15 Rock Island 37 47 Feb. 21 Dubuque 27 24 Feb. 22 St. Ambrose 29 28 Feb. 28 Moline 34 36 The long, one-handed push shots by guard Did Keyoth. proved a valuable asset as the Imps emerged victorious in the Stale tournament.

TRACK With many boys starting practice early in the win- ter under the gvm, the Imp tracksters started out the season by revenging their last year’s loss in winning the Mississippi Valley Indoor meet. A squad of over a hundred boys donned the spikes for Coach Day, including a large number of letter- men. Joe Paulsen turned out another sparkling sea- son which he started out in the Mississippi Valley In- door by breaking his last year’s shot put record with a heave of 50 feet, 7| 2 inches. Davenport entered all the big track meets during the season: the Drake Relays, the Gateway Classic at Clinton, the Davenport Relays, and the Mississippi Valley Outdoor meet. 116 Getting set for the two mile relays are Virgil Voss, lul Kellenberger, Jim Hill, Victor Ahrens, and Don Lange.

Nine major lettermen, brand new uniforms, and a stock of new equipment greeted Coach Doug Atkins as he entered his fourth straight season as head base- ball coach at Davenport High School. Five reserve lettermen were also on hand when Atkins opened the door for prospective baseball material. The Blue Devils entered this 1947 season with hopes of topping their last season’s performance in the state tourna- ment. Last year this Blue Devil squad ranked among the top twelve teams in the country when they represented the Davenport American Legion in a nation-wide baseball tourney. This fact proved no hindrance to Doug when he touched on the subject of experience.

Back row: Jim Eabrner, George Smiley, and Ivan Hansen. The D.H.S. golf team, coached by R. W. Bickford, turned in a good performance during the fall season considering the fact that only two lettermen, Jim Fahrner and Jack Lambrecht, returned from last year’s squad. Jim Fahrner, one of the outstanding players on the golf team, captured the Mississippi Valley crown for the Blue Devil linksters during his junior year, and was not only elected captain of this season’s squad, but ranked as one of the best golfers in the state. By virtue of Fahrner’s and Lambrccht's performance, the Imp golf team won the Quad-City Medal Tournament held in the fall at the Blackhawk Hills course. The Davenportcrs rounded the course in 344 strokes fol- lowed by Moline with 349, Fast Moline with 352 and Rock Island with 369. Jack Lambrecht turned in a sizzling 81 while Jim Fahrner fired an 84. Two other members of the Blue Devil golf squad, Paul Wulf and Earl Simons, par- ticipated in the match and came through with good scores of 84 and 85 respectively. When the season got underway Coach Bickford cut the golf team to twelve men which includes a squad of four seniors, three juniors, and five sophomores. The four men who will be lost to the squad when graduation rolls around in June are Jim Fahrner, Jack Lambracht, Earl Simons, and George Smiley. Three juniors, Charles Dau, Decker Mc- Kim, and Ivan Hanssen, and five sophomores, Paul Wulf, Jay Dockterman, Bob Schrocder, Don Rosche, and Virgil Keller, constituted the rest of the squad. Russell Bickford, golf coach. 118 TENNIS Members of the tenuis team, front rou left to right: Burke Dailey, Herb Tbarber. Jim McClenahan. and Coach Bill Mohrhusen. Back row: Dick fobs!, Dick Wolfe, Dick Ehlers, and Leon Vick. Clifton Matz, tennis coach. After starting out with several defeats, the Imp netsters managed to push their way into the win col- umn as the season came to an end. Spurring the team on to victory, Captain Burke Dailey also captured the boys’ singles title in the Quad-City tournament. During the fall season the squad was coached by William G. Mohrhuesen, replacing Forrest Sisscl. The spring team again had a new coach, Clifton H. Mat . The girls’ team was undefeated during the fall. At the Quad-City tournament Martha LcBuhn won the girls’ singles. The team was again coached by Miss Deone Gib- son, girls’ gym instructor, assisted by Miss Marian Williams. On the squad were, Grace Rhodes, Barbara Korn and Bette Korn, letter holders, and Betty Lou Meyer, Margaret Huntington, Martha LeBuhn, Flor- amae Gates, Peggy Foley, Barbara LcDage, Bonnie Smith, Betty Lamb, and Barbara Conover.

WRESTLING Compiling a record of eight wins, three defeats and one tie the Davenport matmcn pulled through a difficult schedule satisfactorily. Clarion, Proviso High School of Illinois and West Waterloo were the only schools to mar their clean slate during the regular scheduled season. Aside from regular season wrestling, the Imp grap- plers captured their fourth consecutive district crown, seized the quadrangular championship, but finished third and seventh in the Mississippi Valiev and State meets respectively. Downing the Rock Island aggregation three times dur- ing the season play proved the outstanding feat in their 1946-1947 schedule, for Rock Island stands as Illinois' state champion. The highly talented Proviso High School, state champs of Illinois from 1935 to 1945, revenged their defeat of last year by a decisive margin.

All are given the same careful attention; all are produced by expert craftsmen who are continuously required to meet the highest standards. Since 1927 the editors of The Blackhawk have brought their annuals to Wagner's to be printed—and this year your editor, Char Bates, met the editors of Augustana College, Moline, East Moline and Orion high schools, and St. Katharine's school, all working with Wagner's staff to produce their yearbooks. You will find a cordial welcome, expert guidance, and prompt attention to your needs when you bring your printing requirements — large or small — to Wagner's.

We will honor thee forever. Hail to the Red and Blue!
