7(il i c ?y THE BLACKHAWK YEARBOOK • DAVENPORT. IOWA • • • THE BLACKHAWK YEARBOOK • Editor-in-chief Associate Editor Art Editor Business Manager Eva Brauchle Delores Mingus Sidney Coles James Lindsay DAVENPORT HIGH SCHOOL DAVENPORT, IOWA Volume 34 v' U H '57 To the wide-eyed, anticipating sophomore; to the bold, undaunted junior: and to the satisfied, but apprehensive senior, we dedicate this book. We look back upon our active school year — a year which marks the start of a new half-century. Now we take time to reappraise our accomplish- ments: reflecting upon the past while gathering strength for the future. A few new faces appeared in our halls: a few others vanished. Uniforms replaced sweaters and jeans as world events summoned us to their needs. But for the most part, life went right on. We hold fond memories of school days filled with joy and with despair . . . days of classes and homework . . . days of club activities and of sport events . . . days of dances and auds . . . and days of meeting and making new friends. It was but another high school year . . . But we ll always remember DHS in 51.

Williams, Superintendent of Schools Siuperi n te n de n t Congratulations to the Blackhawk Staff and to all Members of the 1951 Graduating Class of Davenport High School: The splendid job done by the Blackhawk staff should make it easy for each of you to remember the days of 1951. You have had many opportunities for friendship, for study, for recreation, and for self-improvement. No one knows better than you just how well you have used these opportunities. Many people can paint a dark picture for the future, while others point to unlimited needs for well trained and well balanced men and women. The measure of success for each of you will be determined largely by your ability to remember and to apply the best that you have learned in Davenport High School. My best wishes to each of you. Superintendent The Administrativo and Supervisory Staff. Seated are J. E. Baumgartner, Secretary and Comptroller, Harold J. Williams, Superinten- dent. Standing are L. E.

Pi i n cipa I Graduates of 1951: I like the theme of this year book — We will always remember D. H. S. in 1951. In spite of the simplicity of this theme, it may be years be- fore you fully appreciate it. As time passes, the pictures and the editorial copy in this book and all they mean and imply will become more precious to you. I assure you that you will refer to it time and again with real pleasure. I hope, among other things, that you will be able to remember Davenport High as a place where you met and worked with dynamic, capable, understanding teachers, where you gained per- sonal and intellectual poise and stature, and where you were motivated to many of the things which have enabled you to become successful, happy adult citizens. Please accept my very best wishes for the future. Sincerely, The high school office staff. Seated are Miss Mary Jean Hayes, Mrs. Shirley Hugunin. Standing is Miss Viola Volltens. Don L. Hempstead. Assistant Principal A dm i n istra ti ve The Assistant Principal of Davenport High is Don L. Hempstead who works on problems with Mr. Berry and also assists in working with the student body. Among his many duties. Mr. Hempstead is the advisor to the Student Council, the chairman in charge of Study Halls, and the Director of the Guidance and Counseling Department. Under his supervision are nine counselors who assist the students in every possible way. These counselors help the pupils in solving any student problems which may arise: provide guidance in the selection of subjects: help in the plans for attend- ance at various colleges: and check up on absentees and tardy pupils.

Soehren, Dean of Students The Activities Office and its functions are under the direction of Mr. Orville F. Kahler and his clerk, Mr. Hollis Brown. The main duties carried on by this depart- ment are to sponsor pep assemblies, sched- ule school and sport events, and promote spirit at these activities. Associates When students of DHS need advice or simply wish to discuss their problems with one of the faculty, invariably they turn to Miss Leona Soehren. Dean of Students. Miss Soehren chaperones all of the school's social functions, and serves as the senior class advisor, as well as the college placement supervisor. Her responsibilities are varied and many. She is a member of the counseling staff, and is next in rank to Mr. Berry and Mr. Hempstead in offering counsel to students. The Activities Office staff. Orville F. Kahler. Activities Director and his secretary.

Language Arts All of us have dreamed of traveling to a foreign country someday. Yet, to visit a country not knowing its native language and customs would not be worthwhile, for we would miss many of the most interesting highlights of the trip. The same principle applies to our life in the United States. If we cannot properly express ourselves through reading, writing, and speaking, we miss the chance to make the most of our life. Reading and writing are stressed in Be- ginning English, English III and IV, American Literature, English Literature, Creative Writ- ing, and Journalism. Language Aft Instructors. Seated are Miss Hortense Finch, Frank L. Madden, Miss Helen Ludwig, Miss Dorothy Blackman. Standing are Miss Florence Clark, Miss Florence Anderson, Mrs. Mae Elma Tornquist, Robert Wilson. 12 Speech, Public Speaking, and Dramatics are concerned with training the student to gain speaking poise. A variety of languages is offered to those interested in learning to write and speak foreign languages. French, German, Spanish, and Latin are available to any Davenport High School student. Learning to read, write, and speak well is a necessity in the world of today. With- out these abilities, it is impossible to be a success in the world of tomorrow. The train- ing received from these courses is invaluable. And my screon is this big. That's what Marlene Hackner is telling other American Literature students while Ralph Thorman, Jim Watt, Katie Hatchitt, and Nanette Whistler await their turns. Language Art Instructors. Seated are Miss Jean MacDonald, Miss Flossie Bates, Miss Mabel Johnstone, Miss Minnie Eskelson. Standing are Mrs. Ollie Tuten, Miss Margaret West, William Perisho, John Regenmorter. 13 bocitll bt dh les Sonior Sociology studonts enjoy Mr. Devine's classes. People in the United States take great pride In what they call the American way of life, but only too frequently the actual fundamentals of our democracy are lost from view. Youth must be trained to understand the past and present so that they may become efficient citizens in the future. This is the purpose of the courses offered in social studies. World History, elective for one or two semesters, acquaints students with the historical backgrounds of many countries. American History reviews the important events in the development of our country. After studying American Government, one is familiar with the laws that govern the United States. All seniors have a choice of Sociology. Economics, or Contemporary Affairs, each subject lasting only one semester. Sociology is the study of man and his relation- ships with other men, while Economics deals with the framework of producing and consuming. Seniors studying contemporary affairs learn the back- grounds of various present day problems, and how they can be solved. Loading the Social Studios teachors in discussion is Norman H. Ringstrom. Seated left to right Miss Mary Jane Venning. Denzil Nelson. George Potter. Douglas Atkins, Miss Lucille Burianok, Boyd M. Collins, Martin W. Schultz, Richard Devine. 14 hlat hematics Although many of us may not plan to become the future's expert mathe- maticians. we all need to become pro- ficient in mathematics. Everyone should have a basic knowledge of this field, but to those who plan careers, especially in some branch of science, a thorough study of higher mathematics is ab- solutely necessary. By experience in everyday life we learn mathematics, but much of this experience can be gained in the class- room by mastering the courses offered in Davenport High School. Addition and subtraction are review- ed in Consumer Math and Business Arithmetic. The four semesters of Al- gebra acquaint a student with the methods of solving problems by equa- tions. Plane and Solid Geometry, and Trigonometry deal with proofs contain- ing formulas and theorems. Before graduation from DHS, a per- son must pass a standard test in mathe- matics or have completed one year in this subject. Four geometry students show the cless the correct way to draw and solve their varied theorems. The Mathematics Instructors. Jesse E. Day, Russell W. Bickford, and Willis S. Rosing. Jerry Jager measures the length of the window as Paul Stenger records his findings. In the meantime the other members of the class watch closely to make sure no errors are made. Science Members of Mr. Brennemen's Physic's class are intrigued with the wonders of Science. Whether studying atoms, amoeba, or anatomy, science courses at DHS offer a substantial back- ground for future technicians, lab assistants, or pharmacists. Because an understanding of physical and chemical science is important in this age of scientific development, it is re- quired that each student successfully complete one year of science. This year may be spent in either the study of Biology or Earth Science. Various phases of physical behavior of the human body are studied in Physiology. Students primarily interested in the functions of plant and Senior students of Mr. Money's College Prep Chemistry class are pictured above working on experiments in the laboratory. 16 The Natural Science Teechert.

Money. animal life would be most likely to study Bi- ology. Earth Science is a unit of study that deals with various soils and their composition. The specialized study of animals is undertaken in Zoology. Matter, energy, and motion are studied in Physics, while Chemistry deals in the properties of elementary and compound substances. This year the science department has been under the direction of Miss Orton. Mr. Brenne- man. Mr. Money. Mr. Woodroffe. Mr. Gillespie, Mr. Still. Mr. Voris. and Mr. Classon.

Moon, Mi Mildred Blair, Mi Loi Hillemeyer, Mi Cecile Logic, Mi Lola Weber, Clem E. Bridge. In many instances a student finds it fun and convenient to attend school part of the day and work the remaining time, still earning school credit toward graduation. This plan is made possible through the efforts of the Commercial Department in Davenport High School. The Commercial Department includes courses in Typewriting, Shorthand, Bookkeeping, Office Ma- chines, Clerical Practice. Merchandising, Industrial Geography, and Commercial Law. Actual business experience for interested students is provided by the Commercial Workshop activities. One period every day is volunteered by senior stenography students who find it impossible or inconvenient to work port time in the work exper- ience program. The courses offered by the Commercial depart- ment provide a beneficial background which enables students to take their places in business offices with the minimum of readjustment.

There's nothing unusual about these excla- mations — especially if they're heard coming from the nurse's office of Davenport High School. Always present to answer such a question is the school nurse, Mrs. Imogene Sandway. If such need arise, Nurse Sand- way is always ready to see that students receive proper medical attention. Joan Hays, a senior, serves as a student assistant to Mrs. Sandway. Dr. Carl Matthey. school physician, super- vises the general health of the entire student body. On registration day, sophomore stu- dents are given a physical examination by Dr. Matthey. All DHS athletes are also required to take the examination. Dr. Carl Matthey, School Physician 19 Mr . Imogero Sandway, School Nurse, checks up on the temperature and pulse of Marian Atkinson in the First Aid Room. The boys in general Machine shop work hard study- ing, operating and cleaning their own machines. Industrial The primary purpose of the Indus- trial Arts curriculum is to present a general knowledge of and to develop an active interest in industry and in- dustrial life. The program is designed to promote better consumers and technicians. The courses being offered are many and varied. IA Printing is offered almost every year. It teaches the student the fundamentals of type setting and the running of test jobs. Electricity, a comparatively new Tha Industrial Art Instructors. Seated are William A. Boland, Edmond A. Ames, Roger W. Feisner. Standing are Forrest D. Sissal, Clifton H. Mats, Robert H. Wehlage, Hermon S.

Auto Mechanics, Graphic Arts, and Machine Shop are also offered to interested students. In many cases a student is interested in specialization. Vocational Machine Shop and Vocational Printing are of- fered to handle these students. Driver Training, another comparatively new course, has been an aid to students who wish to acquire a working know- ledge of the obligations of driving. The Industrial Art Teachers. Joseph H. Carr, Charles F. McCoy, Albert F. Wiegmenn. Standing are Chester G. Anderson, Roland G. Krieb, Richard Davit. 21 The Music Teachers. Robert Craton, Forrest E. Mortiboy. Kent Gannett, Bert E. Schaefer. Music Music hath charms —it is impossible to count the number of hours spent in just listening to music. How many times have you thrilled to the notes produced by an artist's swift fingers on the keyboard, or the sound of a violin? How many times were you fascinated with the synco- pated rhythm of a popular jazz band? Music provides relaxation and enjoyment for all. ginning Chorus. Music Appreciation. Advanced Chorus, Girls' Glee Club, and A Cappella are all under the direction of Mr. Kent Gannett. Mr. Forrest Mortiboy, Mr. B. G. Schaefer, and Mr. Robert Craton supervise the many activities of band and orchestra. The Red Mill, the Minstrel Show, and many con- certs and contests are on the curriculum. Devotion Davenport High School offers many courses in th vocal asd instrumental. Be- of time and talent, plus the interest of both faculty and students constitutes the DHS music department. Mr. Gannett gives the loud signal to his Advanced Chorus class as they practice one of their many songs. 22 Everywhere we go in the world, there is evidence of beauty and art. Although many of us may lack the natural talent to recapture what we see, some of it may be gained through study and experience. Much of this can be achieved through the courses offered by our art department, headed by Mrs. Dorothy Garry and Mr. Paul Johnson. Because it familiarizes one with the basic skills. Art I is a prerequisite to all succeeding art courses. Art II presents a study of design, and Art III helps to develop skill in painting and drawing. Art IV deals with advertising and other units pertaining to commercial art. while students in Art V. metalcraft, design jewelry. Art VI is a workshop course, where art projects are made for the school. The Art Instructors. Mrs. Dorothy Garry and Paul Johnson.

Pat Green, Barbara Schroadar, Jerry Hulman, Joyce Lewis work hard to get thair plaster boxes ready for display. Physical i- Tho Boy ’ Gym Instructors. Burt Seidler and James F. Fox. While helping to maintain a strong, healthy body, physical exercise can be both stimulating and relaxing. Participation in some sport relieves the tension in mind and muscle alike; physical competition can be an outlet from a busy, hurried life. Everyone should learn to make a hobby of some sport. For this reason an adequate physical education program is maintained. The boys’ physical education classes, meeting three times a week, are supervised by Mr. James Fox and Mr. Burt Seidler. The year's activities include track, badminton, wrestling, volleyball, handball, ping-pong, soccer, apparatus competition, and baseball. Many boys enter extra-curricular competition which includes volleyball, ping-pong, and baseball. 24 4 Education Girl 1 Gym Instructors. Miss Reno Hutchins, Mis Shirley Yermasek, Mrs. Bess Thoensen, pianist. Miss Rena Hutchins came to Davenport High School last fall to join Miss Shirley Yermasek as instructor of the girls’ physical education classes. Mrs. Besse Thoensen serves as piano accompanist. all girls have the chance to participate in hockey, volleyball, badminton, baseball, basketball, and track. Intramural teams for all sports are formed by the gym classes for those who are interested. In addition to the usual equipment replacements, new supplies were received for golf and archery classes, a new project which began in the spring. Although the girls’ gym schedules are set up so that each girl attends gym class only twice a week. Motorability tests are taken at the beginning of each semester. These tests denote the physical abilities of a student, and help to determine her semester grade. Squads are formed of girls having similar results of the test. The sophomore Gym girls demon strafe a popular Square Dance step. 25 The Horn Economic Instructors. Seated is Miss Catherine A. Downing. Standing are Miss Cora I. Wilson, Mrs. Lucille Stanley, Miss Ada Malueg, Mrs. Helen Diamond. Home B conomics Just a short distance from Old Main lies the home of Davenport High School's branch of Home Economics. The Home Eco- nomics building, once Grinnell College, has the atmosphere of a real home. Decorated to suit the needs of the course, the interior is supplied with modern facilities, such as the new fluorescent lights that were installed this year. Our Home Economics staff conducts courses in Clothing, Foods. Dietetics. Home Arts and Crafts. General Homemaking, and Home Management. Clothing offers instruction in basic and more advanced principles of the construction of garments, cloth composition, and design. Foods I and II and Dietetics help students to plan and prepare meals economically, and study the composition of foods. Home Arts and Crafts offers lessons in knitting, crochet- ing. embroidery, and textile painting. The various units of Home Management are de- signed to show students the best methods of child care and guidance, and living com- fortably on an economical budget.

You'll find a large variety of books there; books of travel, science, history, sports, fiction, and many others. Miss Dunlap and Mrs. Goss are always present to offer additional information. To assist them, they usually have fifteen to twenty students each semester, each student earning a credit for his work. In one semester this year, the library received about three hundred books. Some of these are three books containing the most famous works of art by El Greco, Van Gogh, and Renoir. To keep up with the demands of today, the library always has current publications on hand, such as the new books, The Effects of the Atomic Weapon and Survival Under Atomic Attack. The librarian . Mitt Myrtle Dunlap and Mr . Gladys Got . Various students in the library use the many research materials. Bernice Ekstein, Jane Frick, and Bonnie Anderson check the maps in the almanac, while Bob Brandt reads a magazine and Diane Tenenbom looks up a big word in the dictionary. Facial expressions vary as the students work hard in third period library. 27 ROTC Tho Battalion Officers. Soatod are James Lindsay. Ed Gehlo. Standing are David Sass.

Standing are Sergeant First Class Chester Fee. Master Sergeant James A. Bergman, Sergeant Firs Class Guy G. Jensen. The Reserve Officers Training Corps is a course designed to lay foundations of leadership and citizenship. At Davenport High School, it may substitute for the physical education requirement for graduation. ROTC is run by the Cadet Officers themselves, while the regular army personnel act only as super- visors. Less emphasis is placed on purely academic subjects with more time being spent in developing individual leadership qualities. A rifle is issued to each cadet and he is made liable for its care, thus instilling within him, a sense of responsibility. To increase the effectiveness and appearance of the Cadets. DHS has an assortment of medals, ribbons, and awards which are presented to out- standing ROTC students. All uniforms and equip- ment are furnished by the U. S. Army. The year's program includes: a parade in the fall honoring the newly designated Cadet Com- mander; the presentation of ribbons and medals for scholarship; participation in the Armistice Day Parade downtown; the Military Ball; participation in the Armed Forces Day Parade; review for annual inspection by the U. S. Army; awards for semester honor Cadets, including the presentation of school letters to the rifle teams and Service Club. 29 Officers Baccalaureate Commencement Seniors The Senior class officers.

Xlu (i (t 'i itu Homecoming There is at least one DHS'er who will always remember a certain Friday, the thirteenth. For charming Gerry Rust, Friday. October 13. 1950. meant her coronation as Homecoming Queen of DHS. Miss Rust served approximately nine hours in a fantastic wonderland as bands played in her honor. A parade weaved its way through town with her as focal point. For Gerry Rust this was no unlucky day. The queen and her attendants were chosen by vote of the entire student body and were presented at an aud that same eventful Friday. Immediately following, Queen Gerry and the Attendants Lois Braaclc. Carol Miller, Joyce Rose, and Eleanor Frick were poised atop an open convertible slowly making its way to Hotel Blackhawk where a banquet for the royal party was in making. Jim Lindsay, president of the Hi-Y club that sponsored Homecoming weekend, served as toast- master and honored the queen and her attendants with a pre-game dinner. The royal party witnessed the Davenport-Dubu- que football game from a reserved box seat. Roger Berry, principal, formally crowned Miss Rust and presented her and her party with golden trophies. Highlighting the evening, Coach Anton Butch Stolfa presented Her Majesty with the traditional Homecoming football — a symbol of the Blue Devil triumph? . J , tii ts.irs j, .t f Photos by Frank A.

Joanne Guyer and Al Wagner say good- night as they hurry off to the Spree, as Mr. and Mrs. Oscar Guyer watch them leave. Later . . . Sue Derry and Jill Diamond cut in on Myrna Buttschau while her date John Kirby looks amazed at his sudden popularity. A little later the program m begins highlighted . . . 54 at the dance held in the George Edward Marshal! gym. Shirley Villinis checks her date's coat as Paul Bookidas stands by and Dee Jehring pins on Frank Tucker's corsage. Later when they go in to dance . . . Dale Buhl. Arlene Brix, Judy Benfer, and Vaughn Knapp decide to get some refreshment so they stop to drink cokes and talk about the dance. Then . . . by the appearance of the royal court. Pictured under the archway are King Ed DePootor and his Bachelor Court composed of Ed Gehle. Tom Rowland, and Tom LeBuhn.

Approximately 125 girls were initiated in October by the process of paddling, nail polish, and spaghetti walks. This year for the first time the annual Spinsters' Spree featured a King and his Bachelor Court. Ten candidates were nominated by GAA members and the entire number of high school girls were able to vote for the honors. Eddie DePooter was crowned King and his court consisted of Ed Gehle, Tom LeBuhn, and Tom Rowland. The theme this year was based on an old Southern plantation yard. Southern Fantasy was the name given to the dance held December I with Hal Weise and his orchestra.

Yellow and green crepe paper streamers gave the effect of a cool summer evening sky. The stage was decorated by Magnolia trimmed pillars for the orchestra and dewy grass hills led down from the stage to a white picket fence effect. To the left of the trimmed trellis at the entrance were lawn chairs and tables with umbrellas for the chaperons. Lace trimmed lavendar parasols were made by the decoration committee as programs and little favors. 84 The floor show included the Girls' Trio, Nancy Witt, soloist, and dance impersonations by Sue and Bob Smith. The December meeting was a Christmas banquet to which members were asked to bring a can of fruits or vegetables to be distributed to needy families. Throughout the year parties were held in the form of rollerskating, swimming, bowling, ice- skating and other sports.

The purpose of this organization, sponsored by the YMCA with co- operation of the high school, is to provide oppor- tunities for boys to work together and to develop leadership, while taking part in activities that will be of service to both school and community. This year the club was divided into three chapters: the sophomore, the junior, and the senior chapter. A special group consisting of three members from each chapter was also organized. Perhaps the biggest event of the year, not only to Hi-Y but to the whole school is Homecoming, sponsored annually by this club.

An all-chapter hard-time party was held in March. Hi-Y, in coordination with Tri-Y, sponsored the annual Co-ed Carnival in April. Earle Florence was Hi-Y general chairman. Hi-Y and Tri-Y spon- sored the Holy Week services preceding Easter and held several joint meetings throughout the year. Other activities included attendance at a joint Hi-Y Quad-City meeting in Rock Island, representa- tion at the Southeast conference of Hi-Y at Fair- field and the Nation conference in Cleveland. Annual Retreat was in May at Camp Abe Lincoln while the Mother and Son Banquet was also held at that time. The club supports, as one of its projects, worthy boys at camp in the summer and aid to a Japanese student in attending SUI. They also lend a hand during the yearly YMCA membership drive. For their hard work, the boys are rewarded with many fine speakers from all countries and outstand- ing citizens of this city. The boys go swimming, play ping-pong, basketball and even have dancing lessons at the Y following their meetings. L. B. Kenyon, high school counselor, and Dick Carey.

Each of the cadet officers are given certain duties to perform and in this way the corp of cadets is run smoothly. Their main activity of the year is sponsoring the Military Ball. Committees for the dance are com- prised of the various members of the club. They also sponsor the banquet at the Chamber of Commerce for the Honorary Cadet Colonel, her attendants, their dates, and the officers of ROTC.

In turn, the money is used to provide refreshments for the club members at their monthly meetings, spe- cial parties, and for financial aid to back their many projects. The Quill club s Homecoming display featured a football goal post with the traditional Blue Devil on one standard and a Dubuque Ram on the other. The mighty Devil was delivering a swift kick which sent the Ram over the crossbar. The club operates on a system of helpful criticism. Stories, essays, plays, and poems written by the members are presented before the club for sug- gestions for improvement of grammatical construc- tion. authenticity of plot, and originality. By correct- ing each other’s work and explaining their errors and favorable qualities, better publications can be produced. Various programs highlighted each meeting. Larry Wyrick and Bob Smith often kept other members laughing with their imitation routines, and Paul Atkins provided some entertaining moments with his superior guitar playing. Original stories written in Creative Writing classes were read by Carol Krebill. Lila Frutiger. Nancy Wells, and Kay Smith. Carol Krebill's radio play.

The purpose of this inter- national honorary society is to bring together all journalism students throughout the world. They then exchange ideas of various publications by a monthly magazine circulated to every member. One hundred inches of copy in one of the school publications is necessary to become a mem- ber. They must also be recommended by the club advisor, Mr. Forrest D. Sissel. The Davenport High School Quill and Scroll chapter had eight members at the beginning of the year to which these were added: Dave Fleming. Jan Crouch, Dee Mingus, Jack Hinkle, Carol Miller, Katie Ohland, Nonie Titus, Lora Klindt, Judy Nolen, John Woodward. Bernice Ekstein, Sue Derry, Pam McKillop, Mary Lou Jones, Bob Sass, Mardel Herzberg. Janet Larson, Sidney Coles. The annual Publications Banquet was held in the spring and featured a guest speaker. All those who had participated in some journalistic work throughout the year were invited to attend. The main event of the evening was the presentation of the completed yearbook to the group and Mr. Roger Berry, principal. After this the book was distributed to the entire student body.

Membership is limited to those seniors enrolled in the Retail Training Program. Because all of the club members are out-on-the-job afternoons, club meetings are held on the first and third Tuesdays of each month at 8:40 a.m. This year there are thirty members of the club whose purpose is to promote further interest in the problems of retailing, and to provide a social program for students who have common interests. While a number of meetings were planned by club members themselves, there was also the opport- unity to hear speakers from the various merchandis- ing fields. An opportunity for members to hear their own voice recordings, a discussion of the Fair Trade Law, and a demonstration of the necessary know how in operating a florist's shop were among special program features. Outstanding among the club's activities were the homecoming promotion program, a gift wrap- ping display and open house held for students and faculty members as special guests. It is planned to make the popular gift wrapping display and the commencement breakfast annual affairs. Miss Mildred Blair is the club advisor. 96 Rifle Club President .............................Bob Brumfiel Vice-President......................Joanne Guyer Secretary .....................Donna Price Treasurer ...............Jeanette Doering Rifle Club at DHS is an activity which is enjoyed by both boys and girls. The original club had only male members but about three years ago, it was reorganized and a special section for girls added. Meeting on Thursdays, the girls fire on the regular ROTC targets on the rifle range. Friday is the night the boys congregate to try their luck with the guns. $1.00 per year is a required due which is used to cover the cost of ammunition used in firing. The purpose of the club is to teach students how to use rifles and to improve their target shooting. On February 24, a district meet was held here in Davenport with boys and girls participating. Moline was the main opponent at that meet. The boys rifle team also went to Bloomfield. Missouri, for another meet in which they finished in sixth place.

The annual fall Round-Up was held in September. It started off the membership drive with a bang. This year Tri-Y had one of its biggest memberships. Twenty-one girls attended the Southeast Area of Iowa Y-Teen Conference in Burlington. The girls had a great time. A bus was chartered for the trip and to top off the wonderful things that hap- pened. Debby Cassling was elected secretary of the area. November brought with it a variety of events, among them a bake sale! This netted the Tri-Y treasury $60.00. This money was donated by the club to the World Fellowship fund. At Christmas time, all clubs feel they would like to do something for those who are not quite so fortunate. Tri-Y is no exception. When Christmas rolled around, the service committee made tray favors for the folks at the Scott County Home. At the fall dance, The Rickshaw Ramble, a Chinese theme was followed. Admission included a Hershey chocolate bar per person. These bars were sent overseas as a part of the National Chocolate For Christmas program of the Y-Teens. In January a series of meetings were held on the three major faiths. Meetings were held at various churches with talks by the ministers of these houses of worship. A movie was also shown. The purpose of this program was to help the girls to better understand the way of worship of people of other faiths. 101 Other dances of the year included Tinsel Twirl in December, Cupid Capers in February to corres- pond with a Valentine holiday theme, and finally in May, the annual Klem Kadiddle Hop, which was held at Duck Creek Park. Tri-Y had many joint programs with Hi-Y. A movie and panel discussion on the Atomic bomb was held at the First Presbyterian Church. The question was What we as young people can do about the atomic bomb. Near Easter, Holy Week services were held every morning at 8:00 a.m. at the Trinity Cathedral. Again various ministers from local churches were the speakers. In April, Tri-Y with Jeanette Doering as general co-chairman, helped Hi-Y in their Co-ed Carnival. The affair was held at the YMCA and the purpose was to make money to send as many girls as possible to the summer conferences held annually at Grinnell College. In June, the Rose Banquet was again held at which time the new officers were initiated at the Tri-Y Juniors. First Row: Jane Richter, Barb Stuhr, ShirUy Shewry. Katheryn Soudcr, Diana Tananbom.

Later in June, the Iowa Y-Teen Conference will be held at Grinnell College campus. Last year, 10 girls were sent as delegates while others went on their own accord. The advisors of the club are Miss Frances Schultz and Mrs. Tuten from DHS, and Peg Albrecht who is the Y consultant. The officers of Tri-Y are elected by popular vote at a regular meeting especially set aside for that purpose. Two girls are nominated for each office previously by the members of that years' cabinet. At the election meeting, other nominations are received from the floor. Each nominee is intro- duced to the club, and each member then casts a secret ballot for her choice. As soon as the ballots are counted, the president announces the officers for the coming year. At a private officers meeting, selected repre- sentatives discuss their choices for the coming year's cabinet. Their final decision is announced at the annual Rose Banquet. Sophomores.

Any member of a German class, those who know some German, or who are interested in the language may join this organization. Programs usually follow the customs, songs, art. games, dances, and music of the country so the members will have a more practical knowledge of that land. Mr. Clem Bridge.

They recap- tured the City Title, while failing to retain the Mississippi Valley crown or to win a game in the Quad-City Conference play. The Demons opened the season by whipping Whiting, Indiana, 38-12 at Brady Street Field. Franklin of Cedar Rapids was next to fall, 35-7. McKinley s Golden Bears proved to be no match for the Imps as the locals ran up their largest score of the season 47-0. Davenport won its fifteenth victory in sixteen tries in Homecoming competition as they downed Dubuque 27-14. Rock Island was the first stumbling block for the Imps as the arch rivals battled to a 7-7 deadlock. The Red and Blue suffered their first of four straight setbacks at the hands of East Moline 14-6.

Basket Supposedly overshadowed by the court feats of their graduated predecessors. Davenport's 1951 Blue Devils surged beyond everyone's expecta- tions to successfully defend the State Cham- pionship of Iowa and annex Coach Paul C. Moon's sixth state title in his 23 years of coaching at DHS. It was the third time in the 40-year old history of Iowa tournaments that a team has repeated as Champions and the second time for a Daven- port cage outfit. The Imps of 1929 and 1930 also attained this distinction. Perennially recognized as a tournament wise ball club Davenport opened its defensive of the State Crown with a 74-47 win over city rival St. Ambrose in the District Meet. Carl Widtefh lot fly with a jump hot for two points in the Roland game. Carl Widseth attempts to elude the opposition in a Sub-State clash with Franklin of Cedar Rapids. Franklin was next in line to feel the force of the Demons power, 68-42. Clinton’s River Kings gave Davenport their usual opposition before bowing 65-54 in the finals of the Sub-State tourney. The Red and Blue entered the finals in Iowa City as a favorite to repeat. Waverly's Go-Hawks furnished the Imps little trouble and came out on the short end of a 60-46 score. Carl Widseth set a new individual scoring record for DHS by dump- ing in 31 points. In the Quarter-Finals DHS victor- ed over a stubborn Sioux Center five 47-35. Semi-Final pairings found the Imps matched against the Keokuk Chiefs. The local cagers whip- ped the downstate lads 55-41. Roland, a class B entry from Central Iowa, faced the Moonmen in the final contest. The Blue Devils grabbed an early lead and held on to it by a slim margin at the half, 25-22. The Rockets proved what Cal Burnett mixes it up in the Quarter-Finals of the State Tourney against Sioux Center. Merle Jensen and Carl Wid- seth gang up on Sioux Cen- ter' Ver Hoef in the second round of the State Tournament. a great team they were as they fought back to retain the upper hand at the end of the third quar- ter. 35-31. But the fired-up Demons were not to be denied as they came roaring back in the final stanza in true championship style — at one point in the final period they scored nine points in 90 seconds. As the field house horn sounded ending the game the Imps sported a 10 point margin of victory 50-40. and Davenport had defended its coveted crown. The Imps went through the regular season with- out a loss to an Iowa team as they captured the Mississippi Valley Conference title with a record of 10 wins and no losses. They amassed a total of 16 wins and three losses, all to Quad-City teams during the regular season. Rock Island stopped the Devils twice while Moline did the trick once as the locals finished in a tie for second place with the Maroons in the inter-city loop race. The overall season record for 1951 was 23 wins and three losses. Tradition held true of form as Davenport contin- ued to retain the City Championship from the St. Ambrose Knights. The Imps downed the Locust Street boys 60-46. The DHS Sophomores' 13 year reign as title holder of the Mississippi Valley Conference came to an end this year as the Implets finished out of the running. Coach Clem Bridge s squad ended the regular season slate with a record of I 3 wins and six losses. They placed second in the Quad-City race with three victories and three defeats. The sophomores retained the City Championship by stopping St. Ambrose 32-26. Varsity mainstay Carman Carpenter, Calvin Burnett, Frank Schwengel, Frank Sabolt, Carl Widseth, Marla Jensen.

Larry Bartels, Merle Jensen, Gary Howard. Davenport's baseball team, State Champions of Iowa for two consecutive years, winning the title in 1949 and 1950, opened their defense of the crown with five returning major lettermen back from last year's squad. The veterans were Co-Captains Bob Huntington and Merle Jensen, Larry Bartels, Bob Clapp, and Gary Howard. The Demons took it on the chin in the season opener, losing to Moline 7-4. Highlights of the campaign were the second annual Davenport In- vitational meet in which the Quad-City teams participated, and the State Tournament. Opponents on the regular season schedule were Roosevelt and Franklin of Cedar Rapids, Loras and Senior High of Dubuque, Alleman of Rock Island, and the four Quad-City foes. Positions for Coach Doug Atkins’ nine were filled by Carl Widseth. first base; Spencer Harris, second base; Gerald Hatfield, third base: and Bob Hunt- ington, shortstop.

Bickford, had only two returning letter- men at the start of the fall season, yet came through with eight victories to four losses during the entire period. Bob Wells and John Evans were the only letter- men to return from the preceding year's squad which lost its first six men due to graduation. The spring team was much better experienced, however, with golfers as Dirk Van Alstyne, Tom Lindburg, Tom Peters, and Don Oline, all of whom received fall letters. The high points for the fall season were achieved when the Demons won over St. Ambrose and Moline, both schools sporting highly rated veteran teams. This season, the team had 18 events scheduled, but due to the late start, several of these were either canceled or delayed. Play in the spring started April 9 with a Quad-City meet. Approximately twenty-five boys turned out to try and make the spring golf team. Wells, Evans. Lindburg, Peters. Van Alstyne, Oline, and Jon Carle were the mainstays of the first spring squad. Firtt Row: Fred Berger, Jon Cerle, Ken Sindt, Bob Wells, Don Oline, Don Jensen. Second Row: Dirk Van Alstyne, Earle Braaten, Tom Lindburg, John Evans. Third Row: Don Kanss, Gordon Beguhn, Jack Schroeder, Tom Petors, Coach Russell Bickford. 117 Boys' Tennis Boys' Fall tennis experienced a rather disappoint- ing season, losing all four contests against Quad- City opponents. The Demon netsters participated under the helm of Coach William Parisho. who made his debut as tennis coach. The following eight returning lettermen bolstered the squad: Jerry Jager, who competed for his fourth year; Jim Lindsay, a three year letter winner: Jerry Jacobs, Armand Andre. Bill Linihan, Pete Fronk, Tom Rowland, and Jerry Kerr. John Wood- ward and Dave Kinser also saw action. Moline and Rock Island set the Blue Devils down in their initial matches with scores of 9-0 and 7-2 respectively. The Davenport netsters concluded their campaign by succumbing to the Rocks again, this time 8-1. It was more than evident that the Imps missed their stars, Jager and Lindsay. Iowa's doubles' champions were out of action for the regular season. In the Quad-City Fall tennis meet at Riverside courts Moline. Rock Island proved their superiority in Quad-City tennis by walking off with the title. Davenport's Jager annexed the Quad-City singles championship. The tennis squad completed a spring schedule, with Jager and Lindsay spearheading the squad. Besides competing in the Mississippi Valley Confer- ence Meet and State tournament. Parisho’s team met thirteen other opponents. The season was opened against Burlington, April 17, on the Credit Island courts. The state meet on May 26 brought the curtain down on the spring schedule for the boys on the team. First Row: John Woodward. Dave Kinser, Jerry Jacobs, Hal Rayburn. David Errion. Second Row: Jerry Jager, Armand Andre, Bill Linihan, Jim Lindsay, Tom Rowland. 118 Girls' Tennis Although the 1950-51 girl’s tennis team was daunt- ed by a jinx-lilce losing streak, they were able to finish the season with high hopes for next year's team. Miss Rena Hutchins, a new member of the Dav- enport High School teaching staff, handled the tennis coaching job this year. The job was formerly taken by Miss Shirley 'Jean Yermasek. The girls' team accomplished one triumph in singles’ competition but met defeat in all of their doubles' matches. The squad, was composed of six experienced letter winners: Jill Diamond. Judy Benfer. Betsy Cline, Ruth Schabilion, Gerry Hoard, and Jeanette Doering. Betsy Cline obtained runner-up honors in the Quad-City singles' matches. Moline's highly rated Betty Hasson, who was seeded in the Quad-City Invitational this summer, provided too much ex- perience and dexterity for Davenport's gameful player. The Moline triumphed 6-0. 6-1 for the girls' honor. The girl netsters inaugurated their spring season against Moline's Maroons. April 17. A match against the Rock Island squad on May 24 brought the spring schedule to a close. Throughout the sea- son, the team faced each Quad-City team twice. Although it was felt that any court situation could be handled, it was soon observed that former experience was not enough to carry the team on to victory. But the girls' team put on a wonderful try to win their many matches. First Row: Jill Diamond, Judy Benfer, Ruth Schabilion. Second Row: Miss Rena Hutchins, tennis coach, Jean- ette Doering, Gerry Hoard, Betsy Cline. And thoy're all $at for the relays. Waiting for the rosults of their race are John Kirby. Dick Wellman.

The DHS Track team opened the 1951 season with a plentiful supply of talent boasting the re- turn of seven two year major lettermen and fif- teen one year major lettermen. Second year men were Bob Adrian. Ed DePooter, Bill Hood. Dick Meyer, Louis Oscarson. Jerry Thordsen. and Frank Schwengel. The Blue Devils first test was the Mississippi Valley Conference indoor track meet at Iowa City on March 23. The Imps successfully defended the 1950 crown as they outpointed all contenders by a wide margin to win the meet with a total of 90' 2 points. Four big events in which the Cindermen com- peted in were the Drake Relays and the Clinton Gateway Classic on the road and the Moline Dual and the Davenport Relays, in which approximately thirty teams participated, at the Brady Street Oval. The squad was coached by Jesse Day and his assistant Mike Dardis, while Bill Rosing handled the sophomore thinclads.

Composed of fourteen returning lettermen. the wrestling squad, under the coaching of Jim Fox and Burt Siedler, concluded one of their most successful seasons. Only diminuitive Osage could conquer the Demon grapplers in dual competition, and spoil an unblem- ished year. Twelve teams were overthrown on the mats by potent Blue Devils, and four meet cham- pionships were added to Davenport's victory slate. Nine of Fox's grapplers gained Mississippi Con- ference titles, four winning for the second consecu- tive time. Other meets taken by the Demons were Quadrangular. Davenport Invitational. District, and State. As their teammates look on, Co-Captains Joe Sharoian and Louie Oscarson demonstrate a hold. Nine Davenport representatives journeyed to Cedar Falls for the State finals, but finished in a disappointing position. Co-captains Louie Oscarson and Joe Sharoian advanced into the semi-finals before being elimi- nated in very close matches. Following the season, the wrestlers nominated Jack Wells and Bob Trauffer for next year's captains. Eight veterans, who competed on the first team will return for action next year.

Called the Swingsters as in previous times, this year s band has been under the direction of B' Borbeck who also plays the clarinet and saxophone. Composed of ten members and the leader, Swingsters are without a sponsor and do their prac- ticing strictly on their own time.
