Pitnl B. Jacobson. 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.

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
