The staff has done a fine job in compiling and editing the 1952 Blackhawk. High school life is a continual found of experi- ences. This annual will give you many reminders of these high school experiences. Your future will be determined quite largely by the result of your reaction to your experiences. We hope your high school life has provided you with the guidance and good judgement to improve yourself through these experiences. Many people have sacrificed and taxed them- selves to surround you with opportunities and ex- periences during your entire school career. These opportunities will soon be behind you. You are now about to join the large list of alumni of Davenport High School. We are proud of your record as students and are confident you will achieve the same high standards as adult citizens of this community and country as you have demonstrated in your school career. Our prayers and best wishes go with you. V Superintendent Director Members of the Class of 1952: I hope that each of you has secured a copy of this yearbook of 1952. No other school publication portrays so well and makes such a valuable perma- nent record of school life at Davenport High as does the Blackhawk Yearbook. Congratulations to those of you who have worked so hard to make this a truly fine book. The teachers and I all hope you feel that Daven- port High has served you well. We trust that your experiences here have been pleasant and most profitable ones, and that through the years they will provide many pleasant memories. From pleasant memories and knowledge of years well spent come strong loyalties, and we want you to be loyal to D. H. S. I am sure that every teacher and every adminis- trator in our school joins with me in extending con- gratulations to you upon the completion of your high school work. Our very best wishes go with you for your future success and happiness. Sincerely, Seated arc Superintendent Harold J. Williams, Presi- dent Richard LeBuhn, and Secretary John G. Baum- gartner.

The traditional saber arch ceremony preceded the commissioning which was followed by the im- pressive grand march, led by Cadet Lieutenant Colonel Fred Strieter, Majors Bob Brumfiel and Reed Phillips and the honorary party. The girls were honored guests at the annual offi- cers' banquet held in the Chamber of Commerce dining room, where Major Davis was the featured speaker. In attendance were members of the Offi- cers' Club and their dates, the military staff, and other special guests.

I he Mikado An old Japanese court garden provided the set- ting for Gilbert and Sullivan's light opera. ’ The Mikado.'' which was presented by the vocal music department. Tuesday and Wednesday nights. Nov- ember 20 and 21, in the high school auditorium. The story was a light and entertaining fantasy. One of the main actors. Nanki-Poo. portrayed by Jim DeKalb. fled from the court of his father, the Mikado of Japan (doublecast by Bill Sebolt and Hriyr Dadaian), to escape marriage from an elderly lady, named Katisha, played by Ann Winkelman. After assuming the disguise of a musician, Nanki- Poo fell in love with a beautiful maiden, Yum-Yum, portrayed by Carol Koelle; but he had been pre- vented from marrying her by her guardian, Ko-Ko. (Bob Smith), who wished to marry her himself. Ko-Ko, however, had been condemned to death for flirting: and, when the first act opened. Nanki- Poo had come to Ko-Ko's court to find Yum-Yum. Unfortunately, he learned that Ko-Ko had become Lord High Executioner, and was planning to marry Yum-Yum that afternoon. Then the trouble began. After many complica- tions, the situation was ironed out with the hero winning the lovely Yum-Yum in the finale. The supporting cast included Harold Jensen as Lord High Executioner: Arlene Metzger and Judy Nolen played Yum-Yum's companions. Peep-Bo and Pitti-Sing, and the A Cappella choir provided the chorus selections. Tho ontire cast potos following a successful performance. 46 Minstrel Show An antic-filled Gay Nineties theme was carried throughout the annual performances of the DHS Minstrel Show, sponsored by the Band and Orches- tra Parents Club, held Friday and Saturday nights, February 8 and 9, in the high school auditorium. Old-fashioned gowns and handle-bar mus- taches contributed to the keeping of the theme and provided a background setting for the amateur novelty acts. The traditional dance lines, trumpet trio, girls' sextet and boys' quartet numbers, were interspersed by selected solo numbers and chorus participation. Especially entertaining was the faculty-composed Herr Willie and His Hungry Five, who amused capacity audiences with their comic old German band renditions. Among the unusual attractions were Tamara Albrecht's Roller Tap. Frank Tre- nery's novelty dance, and others. Bob Smith and Larry Leonard handled master of ceremonies duties, and the complete show was under the direction of F. E. Mortiboy, instrumental music instructor, assisted by Miss Eleanor Pucci Miller and Kent Gannett. A few weeks after the performance, a cast party was sponsored by the Band Parents Club. The Swingsters provided music for dancing. iming out their rendition of The Bell in the Lighthouse is the Boys' Quartet. About to take off under his own power is Frank Trenery, tap dancer. Chorus lines just aron't what they used to be, as demonstrated by the Gay Nineties Girls. Going over lines preceding opening night are masters-of-ccrcmonies Bob Smith and Larry Leonard, while tho dance line rehearsos their steps. 47 Dramatics Introducing Alonzo Beal, jury member. Ho alto writes poetry. Mary Frank crosses fingers while Judy Nolen and Bob Smith try out for coveted parts in Dear Ruth. Although the schedule for DHS dramatic students was unusually heavy this year they still managed to produce a number of outstanding presentations. The highlight of fall entertainment was the all school play Ladies of the Jury. Performances were given October II and 12 in the high school auditorium to full houses both evenings. Mrs. John Regenmorter. speech and dramatic instructor, directed the play which had a cast of twenty-four students. Those playing lead parts were Joyce Foster. Debby Cassling, Gail Lester.

Good ratings were given to Lima Beans, directed by Debby Cassling. Miss Fannie's Bomb, directed by Joyce Arp. and Not Tonight. The play Sham. directed by Elmer Doak. received an average rating. Two Augustana students. George Haneman and Marjorie Anderson, judged all the productions. A Spring Play Festival was held this year. The plays presented were Modern Day Courtship. The Shirkers. He's Dead All Right, and Minor Miracle. Students again directed the plays. Throughout the entire year dramatic students were continually called on to help various other school productions. The students did the make-up for the Mikado and the Minstrel Show. Also at Christmas time the students were called upon to give Christmas readings at various civic organi- zations. The Senior Class play. Dear Ruth, was given in late spring. The true Thespian helps wherover and whenever he can as Elmer Doalt, Keith Moore. Carol Koolle, Joyce Arp, and Sandy Spurrier aim to prove.

After instructing vocal music for 29 years, Mr. Kent Gannett will retire from the Davenport school system this June. Many students have worked and sung under his direction in the various local organi- zations. The accomplishments of this season, however, have been on a larger scale than previous years, be- cause many efforts were made that the last year be the most important of all. The numerous vocal groups presented several additional programs along with the annual scheduled performances. In November, preceding Thanksgiving vacation, the A Cappella choir presented Gilbert and Sulli- van's The Mikado. Following approximately one month later was the traditional Christmas program with all four choruses and instrumental groups par- ticipating. These included the A Cappella choir, advanced chorus, beginning chorus, and the girls' glee club, totaling 250 voices. Past graduates of DHS who were active in the department, joined in with the groups on the Hallelujah Chorus. In February, the A Cappella choir, including solo- ists, participated in the annual Minstrel Show. Dur- First Row: Donna Duerre, Mary Louise Krukow, JoDeo Moore. Arlene Metzger. Joyce Lee.

On April 6, the combined choruses presented the greater number of selections from George Handel's famous oratorio. The Messiah. This Palm Sunday performance was the last of Mr. Gannett's major accomplishments. Four guest soloists, Jean Gressley, Richard Williams, Delores Witt, and Freeman Wild completed the program. Special programs were printed for the occasion.

Some of the music for baccalaureate and graduation services was provided by the vocal department, with the choir singing its traditional Allelujah. 53 Instrumental The 1951 Marching Band and drum majorettes on the practice field. Once again the DHS band and orchestra have completed a successful but busy year. Under the direc- tion of F. E. Mortiboy. the I 10 member band traveled to the Chicagoland Music Festival last summer. Competing with seven other outstanding bands from five surrounding states, our band was awarded first place in the contest. During the year the band as a whole played for all the home football games, at the annual Spring Festi- val, city parades, and a number of pep assemblies. Soloists and various ensembles also entered the state instrumental music contest. Among the many and varied pieces the band studied this year were Russian Easter Festival by Koskov, Prelude and Fugue in G Minor by Bach, Tunbridge Fair by Walter Piston, and the first movement of Grieg Piano Concerto. The Drum Majorettes. Pat Kurop, Betty Michael, Tam Albrecht, Dee Olson, Helene Jones. Department Composed of approximately 60 mem- bers, the DHS orchestra performed at the Christmas program, the Spring Festival, and its annual program. Also the orchestra provided music for the production of The Mikado in the fall and the annual Minstrel Show in early spring. Individuals also per- formed as soloists and in ensembles at the Spring Festival. The Hayden Clock symphony and Haf- ner's Symphony No. 39 were two of the major numbers to which the orchestra de- voted many hours of work. Advancing to the state music contest at Vinton in April were the following ensembles and solo members, representing both of the instrumental groups: Woodwind trio, wood- wind quartet, string quartet, clarinet quar- tet, trombone quartet, flute quartet, brass quartet, drum ensemble, brass sextet and soloists in the following fields, cello.

Confident that they'll be able to take over next year are juniors Lisa Rabedeaux, Carolyn Uhlinger, and Jan Bender. Sonior Jan Crouch shows them a recent issue of the BLACKHAWK. The Blackhawk newspaper went through a revolu- tionary change this year under the supervision of H. H. Wubben, editorial advisor, and Frank Tank, publications advisor. With only a minimum of the previous season's staff remaining, the first few months were spent in improving the paper and stimulating its readability and appearance. Judy Nolen headed the editorial staff during the fall semester by serving both as editor-in-chief and news editor. Assisting were Jan Crouch, feature editor; Marilyn Koenig, club editor; John Wood- ward. sports editor; and numerous reporters from the journalism department. By January, an effective arrangement was worked out so that when the new second semester staff was announced, each page editor was assigned an as- sistant, who could share the work, thus making the efforts of all more profitable. Marilyn Koenig replaced Judy as editor-in-chief, with Carolyn Uhlinger assuming the duties of news editor. The feature position remained the same, with Jan Bender assisting Jan Crouch. Larry Wyrick was added fo the second semester sports staff, and the club editorship was eliminated. The system as it now stands puts the editor and news editor in charge of pages one. two. and three with the feature department handling four and five. Sports continues to rule over page six. Other changes made during the year were a bigger and bolder nameplate on page one, com- plete change of type on the second page, includ- ing switching all incidental columns and designing Mr. H. H. Wubben, editorial adviser, points out some changes in make-up to members of the staff. Listening care- fully are Ron Carlson, Charlono Groth, Lori Bruckman, Sue Huber, and Sue Lane, with Myra Wanok in the foreground. Assistant Sports Editor Larry Wyrick gets some advice from his superior, Sports Editor John Woodward. Ad Managers Carol Miller, Janie Richter, and Jack Hinkle work placing mats for advertising, using a past issue of the paper for reference. Mr. Tank, publications advisor, and his crew chiefs examine a paper just off the press. Newspaper clever and large, boxed-in nameplates for these columns. Improving quality of all regular sections was also among the objectives. New style headlines, the use of bold face print and subheads, bylines, and general color were also incorporated into making The Blackhawk a more attractive publication. On the other end of the joint staff, were those who handled advertising, business, exchange, and circulation. Starting out the year with Carol Miller and Jack Hinkle as co-advertising managers, the offices were soon reassigned, due to the many activi- ties of each. Jane Richter and Marvin Spivak com- pleted the semester. During the last part of the year, Pat Decker took over Marvin's duties. Marion Bailey handled circulation and exchange, with Hazel Crowl working as her assistant the second semester. Gilbert Ragan kept the books for the newspaper in his position as business manager. An advertising staff was kept busy securing a sufficient number of ads, and the complete paper was finished by the printing classes of the industrial arts de- partment. The paper hopes to continue improving its stand- ards, increasing its subscriptions and living up to its motto of many years, Streamlined as tomorrow, complete as yesterday, and timely as today. Circulation Manager Marion Bailey addresses a paper to bo sent out, as her assistant, Hazel Crowle, glances through an exchange paper. 57 Editor-in-chief Dee Mingus. The Senior Editors, Sue Lane, Joy Fraser. Judy Nolen, and Dave Williams, planning what picture goes where. Art Editor Marlene Hammill is seated at her desk display- ing the title pages of the annual. Art staff members are Jan Ashton, Janice Ficke, and Joan Bonham. In a stage production many long hours of work are dissolved into a composition which hopes to achieve success on opening night. Such is the duplicate blueprint of the 1952 Blackhawk yearbook which has patterned its theme after a typical stage- play, hoping to please its audience and actors upon presentation. Heading the staff was Dee Mingus, editor-in- chief, who, with the assistance of Dot Schwengel, associate editor, has not only had complete charge of one of the main sections, but has also supervised over all other divisions, down to the most minute details. Senior Editors Judy Nolen, Joy Fraser, Sue Lane, and Dave Williams were responsible for the meticu- lous work involved in arranging all the senior pic- tures and copy associated with each print. Checking activities, arranging and pasting down the glossies received from the studios, and alphabetizing the whole section, were their principal duties. The Art staff had many jobs this year. Under the direction of Marlene Hammill, editor, the staff of four worked on the cover, insert designs, and club insignias, plus all the odds and ends that needed in- dividual creative touch. Joanne Bonham, Janice Ficke, and Janet Ashton, representatives of all three classes, completed the staff. Assistant Carol Uhlinger and club oditor Marilyn Koenig look up from their work to smile for the photographer. Mr. H. H. Wubbon. editorial advisor, checks pictures and copy with Dot Schwengel, associate editor. John Woodward and Ron Carlson look at a group of action photos to bo included in the sports pages. John is the Sports Editor, and Ron servod as his assistant. Advertising Staff mombers organize their campaign. Seated is Dick Graham; standing are, Nancy A. Wells, Sue Soydel, Diane Tenenbom, Dave Kinser, Fred Stricter. Carol Miller, and Bevc Hunter. Picture Editors Barb Hull and Lori Bruckman organize photos and copy. Yea rl ?ooh The activities section was managed by Jan Crouch, editor, and Janice Bender, associate editor. An interesting composite of jobs, it included writing all copy for the various high school extra-curricular activities excluding clubs, and planned pictures for this section. Like sports, a wide selection of ideas could be used for the varied action pictures. Marilyn Koenig edited the clubs department, with Carolyn Uhlinger working as her assistant. All club pictures had to be arranged by these two girls, at which time they had to be present, to check the seating arrangements for the underlining caption. Also, as in the other sections, layouts had to be made, and copy written in advance. The sports staff followed much the same general plan, although they received later deadlines be- cause of the conflicting spring sports schedules. John Woodward served as head of the staff, and was assisted by Dave Fleming. Kirk Boyd and Ron Carlson. Working along consistently with each department were the picture editors. One or both had to be present when photographs were taken, to make sure there would be no mistakes, as to who,’’ when and how. Lori Bruckman was chiefly in charge of this particular duty, while Barb Hull wrote captions for all pictures. Seeing that the yearbook was a financial success, was the job of Dick Graham, business manager, and Fred Strieter, advertising manager, and his staff. Bob Brumfiel, Marion Bailey, Jane Richter. Dave Kinser, Jack Hinkle. Sandy Spurrier, Carol Miller, Diane Tenenbom, Nancy Ann Wells, Sue Seydel. and Beve Hunter worked under Fred's direction. H. H. Wubben acted as editorial advisor, while Frank Tank supervised as publications advisor. Assistant Janice Bender end activities editor Jan Crouch compare last year’s annual with their work. The Studont Council Officer , as thoy first began the year, are seated. Barb Stuhr, secretary, and Frank Sebolt, presi- dent. standing, Walt Martens, treasurer. Don L. Hempstead, adviser, and Eddie Kline, vice-president. Student With the interests and welfare of the student body in mind, the DHS Student Council has com- pleted another year of service. Various projects have been promoted and others have become a reality. Under the leadership of Frank Sebolt, president. Eddie Kline, vice-president, Barb Stuhr. secretary, and Walt Martens, treasurer, such plans as the Athletic Ticket, pep committes, and a safety in- vestigation were brought into being. Chairmen for the standing committees were: Murial Lindsay. Constitution; Charles Schellenger. Service: Ron Carlson. Program: and Carol Miller. Social. The year's activities again included the tele- cast of the world series in the cafeteria, extensive investigation of possible honor study halls, and al- most complete solution to the parking problem. The four officers attended the Iowa Association of Student Councils Convention held at Ames. Iowa. From this meeting the local student council received new ideas and helps to solve the existing problems. 60 Red Cross The DHS Junior Red Cross is an organization which promotes student participation in aid for the needy, here in America and all over the world. Under the leadership of Mrs. Imogene Sandway. registered nurse. Vernon Puck, president. Don Ralfs, vice-president, and Marion Bailey, secretary, led the DHS student body to another goal, successfully. Frankie Moser and Bill Schroeder represented the Junior Red Cross at the student council meetings. During the annual membership drive, one hundred fifty-five dollars and seventy-nine cents was col- lected through the various homerooms. This was an increase of Forty-five dollars and sixty-two cents over last year's total. Later one hundred boxes were packed by the high school for shipment to school children overseas. Through the Junior Red Cross five hundred Christ- mas stockings were filled and then given to the Annie Wittenmeyer Home. Ladies Industrial Relief Society. Juvenile Home and Pine Knoll Sanitarium. The officers of the Junior Red Cross not only plan and assist the Red Cross in promoting national causes through the schools but also serve as repre- sentatives to the Senior council of the Red Cross. This year four DHS boys helped the senior Red Cross by distributing posters to local business concerns. Mrs. Imogene Sandway, adviser, shows Secretary Marion Bailoy some pertinent material, as Don Ralfs, vice-president, and President Vernon Puck watch. 61 Now that the whole thing's over, Co-Chairmen Dave Shricker and Signe Poison smile. The occasion was the Sophomore Western Round-Up. The evening's just beginning at tho Junior Cotton ball, where a casual atmosphere pervados. The first of the school social events was the New- comers' Round Up held Tuesday night, October 2. in the George Edward Marshall gymnasium. The western motif was carried out in the decorations, re- freshments, and casual dress of all the new students. Home talent, together with the movie Westward Whoa, provided the entertainment. Joanne Schmidt and Carl Widseth were selected as co-chairmen for the annual senior class party. Saturday, October 6. A costume masquerade theme replaced the sock hop this year. A grand march of costume contestants and a program by out-of-town Was it measles or freckles that broke out in a rash at the Senior Costume Party? Parties entertainers were featured during the evening. The Junior Cotton Ball was held March 28. in the gymnasium. General chairmen for the event were the four junior class officers, Lyn Makeever, Dot Schwengel, Muriel Lindsey, and Bill Soltau. A local talent floor show provided the entertainment, and dance music was by the Swingsters. who were pres- ent at all school parties. Substituting for the regular all-school party was the Coed Carnival, sponsored by Hi-Y and Tri-Y, which was held April 19 in the George Edward Marshall gymnasium. Decorations going Up! And they soon came down, following the Co-Ed Carnival. 62 Swinging out to the leadership of Bob Raap are Norm Stein, Bill White, Bud Johnson, Harold Zindel, Dean Warnecke, and in the second row, Dick Hovor, Arliss Whisler, Dale Warnecke, Tom Phares, and Bob Sousy. Swing sters Familiar melodies with enlivening new arrange- ments blended together into a smooth, mellow tone became the theme of the 1952 DHS Swingsters band. Under the leadership of Bob Raap, cornet instru- mentalist, the Swingster group went under some revolutionary changes from previous years. At the opening of the school season, dance enthusiasts noted the new matched outfits of navy sport coats, light grey trousers, and navy and white pin-striped ties. Bob wore the exact opposite in a grey sport coat and navy trousers. Besides the standard tunes, the band offered a series of medleys and novelty numbers, including the striking arrangement of Elks Parade, and a special Happy Birthday encore. Various arrangements also provided male chorus solos, and regular solo numbers, with Bill Sebolt, bass, in the spotlight. Other specialties included Tom Phares on drums and Norm Stein at the piano. Comprising the remaining ensemble were Dick Hover, bass; Arliss Whisler and Dean Warnecke. trombone; Bob Seusy and Delmar Albrecht, cornet; Bill White. Bud Johnson, Harry Zindel. and Dale Warnecke. saxophone. The Swingsters provided an evening of music at most of the class parties, Y dances, for private and out-of-town events, cast parties, after-the-game Deck dances, and for other recreational centers. 63 I • .!

The club’s programs, informative and varied, include contests, games, movies, and slides all pertaining to various phases in the field of art. At many of the meetings a speaker was featured on the program. In serving the community, members of the Art Club often assisted at activities of the Davenport Art Gallery. This year a new point system was introduced, by which members may earn yearly awards for participation in art activities. The first year award is a pin, second year, art materials, third year, a ring. Any student interested in art may join, but only those taking art may hold office. Art Instructors, Mrs. Dorothy Garry and Mr. Paul Johnson were advisers of the group. Camera Club Because photography is a popular hobby with high school students, the Camera Club was formed in order to provide those interested with practical experience and adult instruction. The complete facilities available to the members aid them in producing pictures of fine quality. A special asset of the club is its excellent darkroom equipment, including developing trays, tanks, chemicals, a new enlarger for prints, and a contact printer. The club carries on many valuable activities to further the experience and knowledge of photography among the members. Throughout the year the group engages in portrait photography, developing and printing their pictures, taking field trips in order to photograph objects of nature, color photography, enlarging, slide shows, and many contests. After the Christmas vacation, a contest was held among the members to compare and discuss the members' pictures and to choose the best photograph taken during the Christmas vacation. Gene Gerdts.

In January. 1950, it was organized under the direction of Mr. Wally Schwank, who has since left the faculty. The adviser for the D-Men's Club is now Mr. A. J. Stolfa. Athletic Director and varsity football coach. Any boy who has been awarded a major varsity letter in any interscholastic sport by the Davenport High School is a member of the club. The purpose of the club is three-fold: to raise the standards of athletics, to promote fellowship among athletes on and off the field of contest, and to create a greater interest in athletics at DHS. Among their other activities, the D-Men assisted in the collection of money at a basketball game for the March of Dimes, ushered at football games, sold football programs, and sold concessions at major athletic events. The club meets every other Tuesday morning in the Activities Room at 8:00. Morning Fellows owsnip President ......... Vice-President Secretary-T reasurer Pianist............ Fall Loretta Carney Jerry Kriner Joyce Lee Donna White Spring Jerry Kriner Audrey Henderson Loretta Carney Donna White The Early Morning Fellowship is an unique group in the fact that it is the only organization in DHS which is based purely on a religious phase. Every Thursday morning at eight o'clock the Fellowship begins its program by singing hymns and reading the scriptures. The service usually centers on the speaker for the day. During the fall, Carl Olson, a special youth evangelist from St. Paul. Minnesota, spoke to the group. Many times, instead of having a speaker, the group holds its own devotionals. Because the group is without a faculty adviser the members plan the programs, meetings, and activities. The Early Morning Fellowship was formed to help the members broaden their knowledge of the Christian Diety. First Row: Jano Fishor, Sandy Williams. Nancy Ormsby, Carol Middleton. Loretta Carney.

Musical selections of Christmas carols were given by Carol Koelle, vocalist; Bob Smith and Joan Culp, vocal duet; and Marcia Sloane, violin solo. Many of the club members were initiated into the National Thespians Society during a Thespian banquet, Fantasia, in December. In January, three girls from ICA came to the club meeting to present for the members the three selec- tions they had entered in the Thirteenth Annual Churchill Memorial for Senior Students in Immaculate Con- ception Academy.

Approximately seventy members attend the club meetings held in the Activities Room on the third Thursday of each month. To increase their knowledge of people from other continents, the club invited several persons to be guest speakers to discuss the various countries with which they were well acquainted. The October meeting was concerned with the better under- standing of the Chinese people: Mae Rohlfs. missionary to China, was the guest speaker. Miss Dorothy Blackman presented an interesting talk and showed colored slides of France and Spain at the January meeting of the club. Mrs. Olsen was the guest speaker at the March meeting of the club: she spoke on Sweden, and smorgasbord was served as a special refreshment to go with the occasion. Mrs. Lucille Stanley was the supervisor of the club. 76 German German Club strives to instill an understanding of the German people, and create an interest in their language and customs. Any member of a German Class or anyone who has an interest in the language may join this organization. Former students of German are also eligible for membership. Programs usually pertained to the customs, songs, art, games, dances, and music of the country enabling the members to have a more practical knowledge of that land. Early in the first semester colored slides were shown to the club, which included many typical German land- scape scenes. The group's adviser was Miss Florence Anderson.

Membership in Hi-Y has united many boys in worthwhile activities which shall surely be remembered all through their lives. This active organization, which is sponsored by the YMCA with cooperation of the high school, was established in order to provide opportunities for boys to work together and develop leadership, while taking part in activities that will be of service to both their high school and community. The club is divided into three independent chapters; the sopho- more, the junior, and the senior chapter. Each of the three chapters carries on its own program of meetings, social events, and service projects. But often, the three combine for the major Hi-Y events. The biggest fall activity for DHS, the alumni, and Hi-Y is the annual Homecoming, which Hi-Y sponsors. The active Hi-Y com- mittees helped to make the Homecoming such a success. The chairman and adult advisors of committess for this year’s Home- coming were as follows: School decorations. Mr. E. M. Ames and Ken Collins; queen, Mr. Allen Slickers and Dave Williams; parade. Captain Eaton and Fred Strieter; publicity, Mr. John Regenmorter and Allen Paarman; dance decorations, Mr. Assasmith and Dick Thode: dance arrangements, Mr. Dick Carey and Jack Barker; home- Spring Dave Williams Jack Barker Dick Thode Fred Strieter Hi- Y 78 coming buttons, Mr. L. B. Kenyon and Walt Martens; tickets, Mr. Kahler and Jim DeKalb; and assembly, Mr. Dick Carey and Tom Richards. During the fall, the Hi-Y held a one day retreat at Camp Abe Lincoln to begin the activities of the organization with its new members. On December 15. Hi-Y and Tri-Y organized joint committees for their winter dance. Hi-Y assisted the Y's-men in selling Christmas trees: the sophomore chapter led the ticket sales. The group used the $200 earned to further its World Service program. On New Year's Eve all the Y” clubs, including Tri-Y, Hi-Y, Y-Teens, and Club Co-ed. sponsored the annual Club Sahara, a dry” night club for all youth and adults. The Co-ed Carnival on April 19 was sponsored by the Hi-Y and Tri-Y members. Another joint ac- tivity was the annual Holy Week Services held at Trinity Episcopal Cathedral. During the school year, the Davenport Hi-Y chapters met monthly with the Quad-City Council of Hi-Y to discuss problems, activities, and advances of the YMCA work in the high schools of this area. In May the annual Mother and Son Banquet was held at the YMCA. Hi-Y isn't all work and no play, as it may seem by this list of events. The boys are rewarded with fine speakers from throughout the country to speak at their meetings. They also make good use of the Y facilities by going swimming and playing ping-pong and basketball. The guidance of this active organization is executed by Mr. E. M. Ames, adviser to the chapter. Mr. L. B. Kenyon, adviser for the junior chapter, and Mr. G. R. Steffen, sophomore chapter adviser, Dick Carey, YMCA secretary, also assists the Hi-Y in their many activities. Hi-Y Juniors and Sophomores. First Row: Rodger Boley.

Janice Bender .............Stuart Gord Second Consul............................Don Magnusson Sandra Ladehoff Scriba...................................John Kress Marsha Brubaker Quaestor Janet Aston Sandra Smith More than seventy members of Comitium Romanum met monthly in the Activities Room. Many of the programs featured the club members presenting skits and stories relating to Roman life, literature, and settings; thus the purpose of instilling a better understanding of the Latin language in the members was accomplished. To give the pupils a wider interest and greater knowledge about the practical and cultural benefits of the Latin language is the objective of the club. At the October meeting of the club, Miss Dorothy Blackman presented colored slides which she had taken during her recent summer vacation in Europe. Twelve members of the club presented a skit, The Meaning of Thanksgiving, at the November meeting. Later in the fall semester, Mr. Doug Atkins entertained the club by revealing some of the mysteries of hypnotism. Highlighting the spring semester programs was the music talent show of which the participants were members of the club. Acting as adviser to the group was Miss Minnie Eskelson. 80 President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Fred Berger Jack Hinkle Bob Brumfiel Reed Phillips One of the main winter events of the school year is the annual Military Ball, sponsored by the Officer's Club. This year the twenty-sixth Military Ball was held in the American Legion Ballroom on the evening of January 23, at eight o'clock. Committees of the club directed the election of the Cadet Colonel and her attendants and planned the club banquet at the Chamber of Commerce. Fred Berger, president of Officers' Club, was general chairman of the Ball. In cooperation with the Army Staff, the Officers' Club is responsible for the planning and training of the Corps of Cadets of Davenport High School. The club develops ideas and projects for the improvement and welfare of the Corps. The thirty members meet with their adviser. Captain Robert L. Eaton, every other Tuesday in the ROTC Armory.

(Ippo rtu n ity CIu t Dedicated to the understanding of better salesmanship, the Op- portunity Club was organized this year at Davenport High School. Whether a student expects to be- come a salesman as a livelihood or not is not a prerequisite to membership, since the practice of good sales approach would add to the enjoyment of the person's everyday. The club meets every other Fri- day to hear a talk on a subject in keeping with its purposes. The speakers are members of the Dav- enport Chapter of the National Sales Managers Bureau. Coordin- ation was under the direction of Mr. S. W. Sanford, Education Com- mittee Chairman of the Bureau. Faculty sponsors were Mr. L. B. Kenyon and Captain R. L. Eaton. High school boys interested in outdoor activities such as hunting, canoeing, fishing, and other varied sports find that the Outdoor Club fits into their interests in an inform- ative and constructive way. Al- though the club was formed the second semester, its membership is increasing rapidly. Under the co-directorship of Mr. Orville Kahler and Mr. Roger Berry, the group engages in dis- cussion and movies pertaining to outdoor activities.

Today the club operates on a similar system of helpful criticism. Stories, essays, plays, and poems written by the members are presented before the club for suggestions for improvement of gram- matical construction, authenticity of plot, and originality. By correcting each other s work and explaining their errors and favorable qualities, better work can be produced. The organization has increased its treasury by selling refreshments at home athletic events, such as football and basketball games. In turn, the money is used to provide refreshments for the club members at each of the monthly meetings, special parties, and for financial aid to back their many projects. The November meeting featured the reading of two original short stories written by members of the creative writing classes. They were Four Years Old by Sue Tate and The Dairy by Joyce Foster. A highlight of the year was the Christmas program which included the reading of The Littlest Angel by Joan Culp and a skit by the officers of the club. A tape recording was made of the program and sent to Miss Johnstone. Mrs. Edith Friske acted as adviser to the group during Miss Mabel John- stone's absence.

The purpose of this international honorary society is to bring to- gether all journalism students throughout the world. They then exchange ideas of various publications by a monthly magazine circulated to every member. In order to become a member of this organization, it is necessary to have one hundred inches of copy appear in school publication. New requirements have also been added this year. The annual Publications Banquet was held in the spring and featured a guest speaker. All those who had participated in some journal- istic work on either school publication during the year were invited to attend. The main event of the evening was the presentation of the completed yearbook to the group and to Mr. Roger Berry, principal. New members initiated into the organization this year were: Carolyn Uhlinger, Lisa Rabedeaux, Jan Bender, Lori Bruckmann, Sue Huber, Larry Wyrick, Ron Carlson, Jean Brown. Barb Hull, Nancy Wells, Dot Schwengel, Jane Richter, Fred Stricter.

This organization also serves the school by publicizing events of interests to the student body. Many of their meetings are devoted to planning scripts for tape recordings to promote school activities. Another project was the tape recording of basketball games. By listening to these recordings, the members gain applicable experience by the helpful criticism of other members.

Membership is limited to seniors enrolled in the Retail Training Program. Because all of the club members work in the afternoon, club meetings are held twice monthly before school. While a number of meetings were planned by the club officers, there was also the opportunity to hear speakers from various merchandising fields. Several films concerning merchandising were shown during the year. Outstanding among the club's activities was the Homecoming promotion program and the Christmas gift wrapping display which both involved many hours of preparation. Miss Mildred Blair was the club's adviser. Rifle Club President ..........................Donald Kraft Vice-President..... ..........Patsy Dawson Secretary ..........................Connie.

Formerly the club was only for boys, but it was soon reorganized to include girls. Every Monday the girls fired at the rifle range, and on Tuesdays the boys met to try their luck. The dues this year were fifty cents to cover the cost of ammunition used in firing. During the week ending December 21. members of the Rifle Club went to Iowa City to compete in a match with the Iowa City High School squad. The DHS boys’ team returned victorious with a lead of 200 points, as Donald Kraft was high scorer with 377 individual points. The girls' team lost a close decision by only two points to Iowa City. Carol Aerni led the DHS scoring in the girls' division with 96 points. On January 19, ten boys traveled to Iowa City again to compete this time in a National Rifle As- sociation shoulder-to-shoulder rifle match. Weekly meetings and sectional tourneys aided the members in the improvement of their target shooting. Adviser and instructor of the Rifle Club was Sgt. Chester Fee.

They met the first Tuesday of each month in the Activities Room to carry on their many projects. The purpose of the Spanish Club is to better acquaint the students with their Latin Ameri- can neighbors. Any high school pupil who is a student of Spanish or who has studied the language is eligible for membership. Spanish Club presented many different and interesting programs throughout the year. The October meeting featured Miss Dorothy Blackman, who showed colored slides of Spain taken during her recent summer vacation in Europe. Edith Robison entertained the club with piano selections at the December meeting, and Christmas carols were also sung by the members. He's Dead All Right, a one-act play, was presented at the March meeting. The cast included: Barb Berman. Leslie Mercer, and Larry Guy under the direction of Bob Smith. This particular play won a superior rating in the Spring Play Festival. Small silver pins with El Circulo Espanol inscribed on them were available to all members this year. A picnic was held at Duck Creek Park in May with the other lan- guage clubs. This is a yearly event sponsored by the language arts department. To earn money for refreshments and their treasury the club’s mem- bers sold concessions at the various sports activities during the year.

An active DHS girl who enjoys being in the center of activity both at school and at the YWCA, will find herself as a member of Tri-Y. The numerous projects and social affairs sponsored by Tri-Y are interwoven with all of the school functions to form a continually in- teresting and varied program of extra curricular activities. The club strives to develop a fellowship of girls devoted to the task of realizing in our common life those ideals of personal and social living to which we are committed by our faith as Christians. Regardless of race, creed, or color, Tri-Y offers unlimited oppor- tunities to its members. 90 This year the club got in full swing with their huge membership drive in September aim- ed at acquainting sophomores and newcomers with the club and its activities. The total count at the end of the first semester showed that Tri-Y had 215 members. After club functions began in earnest, the annual fall dance was held on November 10. The theme of the dance was Fall Fantway with vivid fall colors and waxed leaves as decora- tions to carry out the atmosphere of autumn. November also brought with it a bake sale at the First Trust and Savings Bank which helped the Tri-Y treasury gain about $45. With Thanksgiving near at hand, the members joined together to help less fortunate peo- ple within Davenport to have a better Thanksgiving. Canned goods were donated by each member and distributed to several families. Sixteen members of Tri-Y traveled to Des Moines for the fall Y-Teens Conference. As winter approached, the usual feeling of good cheer and helpfulness furthered Tri-Y winter plans. First, the Winter Wonderland dance was held on December 10 at the YMCA under the co-sponsorship of Tri-Y and Hi-Y. The service committee, under the di- rection of Jean Brown and Ellen Ritchie, made tray favors for those aged people at the Scott County Home. Tri-Y also had a project called Chocolates for Christmas, when each member brought Hershey chocolate bars to be sent to Spain. Sue Lane was chosen as the Tri-Y candidate for Cadet Colonel of the Military Ball on January 23. Tri-Y Seniors. First Row: Joyce Lee, Barbare Hull, Sandy Spurrier, Lois Underwood.

During the first semester Miss Blackman, French and Spanish teacher at high school, told about her trip to France and Spain this last summer. Mr. Niles from Parkers gave a demonstration at the meeting of the proper way a high school girl should cut. care for, and wear her hair. During the remainder of the school year, Tri-Y held two other dances. The Deep Purple was held on February 15 and the annual Klem Kadiddle Hop was held at Duck Creek Park. During February, Dr. Lydia Jordan spoke at two Tri-Y meetings on the subject of venereal diseases. In April. Hi-Y and Tri-Y held a joint meeting centered on the topic Civil Defense with Attorney Clemens Werner as speaker. 92 The Rose Banquet was held in June at which time the new officers were initiated at the candle-light ceremony held at the Lend-A-Hand Club. The advisers of the club this year were Mr. Francis Papenbrock, Miss Shirley Orton, both DHS teachers, and Mrs. David Walker, the Y consultant. The meetings are held every other Wednesday after school at the Y. Tri-Y officers are chosen each year by popular vote at a regular meeting designed for that purpose. Two girls are nominated for each office previously by the members of that year's cabinet. After nominations are received from the floor, the candidates for offices introduced, and the ballots cast and counted, the president announces the officers for the next year. A style show was held on March 26 sponsored by Scharff’s department store. The April programs included a movie entitled Are You Prepared for Marriage? and a conference election. In April the Co-ed Carnival was held with Hi-Y for the entire school. Sophomoros. First Row: Pat Kurop, Barbara Heeschen.

NO GOLF ................................ I M Nine victories in ten games, three championships and ten all-state awards were the products of Coach Anton Butch Stolfa's second season at the Davenport helm. Coach Stolfa made three important shifts at the beginning of the season, the moving of Wager to fullback from guard, Jones to center from fullback and junior Vern Wulf from guard to end. In the toughest competition of Eastern Iowa and Western Illinois, the Imps totaled 187 points in their final nine contests, after the 19-0 loss to Proviso, while allowing their opponents only forty-five markers in the ten contests. Davenport line stalwart Bob Wellendorf was awarded a position on Jack North's Register and Tribune all-state first team after receiving a second team post on the International Daily Press Association selections. The Imp offensive leader, fullback Dick Wager, copped a second team back position on North's selections after being awarded an honorable mention by the IDPA. End Harold Potts gained a seventh team end berth as a result of his fine offensive and defensive wing play throughout the campaign. Tackle Ken Stratton, guards Jack Wells and Andy Stewart, center Steve Jones, quarterback Dave LeBuhn and halfbacks Eddie Kline and Hank Philmon all received honorable mentions. The season’s climax came in Davenport's title tour — the final three games of the season. In the game that decided the Mississippi Valley champions, the Blue Devils gained a hard-fought, 7-0 win over the Dubuque Rams. The victory in the up-river city continued Davenport's monopolization of Valley championships, tallying their third in a span of four years. 98 Wager laid claim to the all-state berth with a great ground- gaining performance in the Dubuque win. The 170-pound fullback took the ball over on a sweep of left end with two minutes to go after he had set up the pay-off plunge on an eight yard sweep of the same left end. Wager carried the ball five times in the 68-yard drive for 33 yards and the winning tally. Altogether, Wager carried the ball 105 yards in twenty-two trys to outplay Ram fullback Rog Nebel. The best team and individual performance of the year came in the final game as the Blue Devils wound up the title tour by thrashing the St. Ambrose Knights, 47-0, behind the touchdown dashes of Hank Philmon. Philmon scored four touchdowns in the worst beating ever handed the cross-town rivals by a Davenport team. The pay-dirt jaunts covered 39 (twice), 31 and three yards as the Imp left halfback totaled 158 yards in nine carries. Wellendorf clinched his all-state berth with a great offensive and defensive line performance in the St. Ambrose game. Another highlight of Wellendorf's 1951 line play was the Moline game, when the 180- pound tackle outplayed a 220-pound Illinois all-stater. The 19-0 win over the Maroons not only revenged last year's 39-0 trouncing, but it also produced the longest Davenport run of the season, a 96-yard gallop by Wager, the first of his three touchdowns in the opening Quad-City conference win. Wager was the leading ground-gainer of the season with 752 yards in the games, while Philmon's 6.59 yard per try average topped the Blue Devils in that department. The team that walloped St. Ambrose in the season final had little resemblence to the crew that lost to Proviso in the season opener and then squeezed past Wilson of Cedar Rapids, 13-6. It took a lot of planning and that's where Coach Stolfa and his assistants Nick Avelchas and Mike Dardis came in. For the first time since 1948, the Blue Devils scored a grand-slam in the championship field — winning the Quad-City, Mississippi Valley and City titles with perfect records in each race. The season was the third best the Demons have enjoyed in the past thirty years. booth all THE 1951 VARSITY FOOTBALL SQUAD Coaches Butch Stolfa, Mick Dardis, and Nick Avelchas plan out the strategy for their week end rival. Tho 1952 varsity cheerleading squad. Barbara Nelson, Bev Bell. Pat Wood, Shirley Levetzou, and Sherril Keyoth, work on a new cheer. 100 The DHS sophomores finished their 1951 season on the upgrade with a record of four wins, three losses, and one tie. After looking like a mediocre ball club, the little Imps turned on the steam late in the season and looked like champs in the last few games. In their first encounter of the season Coach Jim Fox's charges were downed by Calvin Coolidge in Moline 19-0. but the sophs rebounded the following week by edging their city rivals from St. Ambrose by a 14-13 count. Iowa City was the next to fall as the Blue Devils tri- umphed 13-7. The Demons dropped a rugged battle to the little Muskies in Musca- tine 7-6 and were held scoreless in a grueling struggle with John Deere which ended in a 0-0 deadlock. In a high scoring battle the Imps finished on the short end of a 32-28 battle with the little Rocks of Rock Island. Then the tide began to turn as the Foxmen ran roughshot over the unbeaten Clinton sophs 39-0. The season was climaxed by a 19-6 victory over East Moline as a scheduled game with Dubuque was cancelled. George Stiles and Jim Behnke. the quarterback and halfback respec- tively, were named co-captains for the year as the sophs amassed a total of I 19 points, an average of 14.6 points per game. They held their opponents to 84 tallies, a defensive average of 10.5 points per game. The 1952 sophomore cheerleaders, Bev Brinkman. Nancy Windier, Jo Albrecht, Nadine Blackledge, and Donna Goettsch, get in the swing of things.

The Blue Devil basketball team went out against the state of Iowa again and copped an unprecedented third straight title. The Blue Devils did not waltz to the crown as they have in previous years. Many high hurdles had to be taken before filling the display cases with more gold trophies. Keokuk's Chiefs, headed by big Bill Logan and inspired by the quitting of their three top subs the day before, gave the Imps the toughest battle they have ever experienced in a title game, as they pushed the Davenporters to a 48-45 win. However, the Demons had experienced plenty of trouble getting to the title game. Little Danville scrapped hard but fell 47-20. Ames (64-47) and Dinsdale (54-47) gave Mr. Paul Moon's team some anxious moments. St. Ambrose, rated second only to Davenport in Iowa cage circles, gave it's cross-town rival the scare of its life in the district battle. The Knights had a 33-22 halftime lead, but Davenport, sparked by Carl Widseth, rallied to nip the Academy bid, 50-47. Despite their sweep in the state of Iowa, the Quad City conference title went across the river to Illinois for the third time in the past four years as the Blue Devils lost twice to Rock Island, Illinois' fourth place team, and once to conference champion Moline. Widseth joined repeaters Logan and Roland ace Gary Thompson on the Des Moines Register's all-state team. Marion's Hugh Leffingwell and Ambrose s Bill Weiman completed the top five. Frank (Ott) Sebolt made the IDPA fourth team and the second five on the Register selections. Guards Carm Carpenter and Don Robbins and forward Gerald (Red) Hatfield made the honor roll selections. The season ended with much more than a third state title to rave about. The previous lack of competition that hurt the Imps when they had to face Moline and Rock Island, may be overcome with the scheduling of several of Illinois' top teams, including the state champions, little Hebron. 102 Demons lit Crown Oblivious to a chorus of wide and uncalled for boos, unfortunately invisible in the picture below, the three-time champions receive their just re- ward after displaying the highest caliber of basketball available in the Hawkeye state. With another great season terminated, four proud Davenporters, Coach Paul Moon, Carl Widseth, Ott Sebolt and Principal Roger Berry, strike an appropriate pose — beaming over an- other golden crown. Thro© stat© championship trophies, a sight only attainable at Davenport high, stand as mut© evidence of a basketball empire unmatched in th© history of Iowa.

The Implets made almost a clean sweep of all available championships taking the city crown and tying for first place in Quad-City competition. Coach Clem Bridge's yearlings opened the season against the Keokuk sophs, downing the Little Chiefs 52-37. The Demons kept up their winning through the next three tilts but were tipped by the Little Hawks at Iowa City 45-39. Eleven straight victories followed their lone defeat including a 68-36 win over the same Iowa City quintet. Rock Island then pulled a surprise 52-35 decision over the little Demons as the two teams tied for the Quad-City title. By virtue of their 65-37 conquest of St. Ambrose they annexed the city championship and closed the season with successive victories over East Moline and Muscatine.

Wrestling With o veteran squad and fine coaching from Jim Fox and Burt Seidler. the DHS wrestling team came the closest in the history of the school to winning the coveted state wrestling title, being nosed-out of the championship by West Waterloo by one point. Unblemished in dual meets, the Imp grapplers raced through 14 dual events amassing a total of 476 points to their opponents 99. giving them an offensive average of 34 points and a defensive average of 7 points. No other Iowa team equalled this unbeaten dual record, and the Blue Devil mat- sters proved just as invincible in tournament compe- tition winning the Quadrangular. Invitational, and Mississippi Valley Conference meets. In their dual meets three opponents failed to even score against the potent Demons. Maquoketa. Franklin, and Wilson were shut-out, losing 49-0. 37-0. and 47-0 respectively. In the closest and most exciting battles of the year, the Blue Devil matsters edged East Waterloo, a perennial powerhouse, 19-16. Dan Segura gained the decisive points in the final 16 seconds of the match. Osage provided Davenport with their sternest home match, losing 26-14 before the largest crowd of the season. The match featured a prelude to a state final thriller, with Philmon and Bailey matching their skills. Bailey edged Philmon, but Hank gained his revenge in the state meet. The Imps grabbed the district championship and traveled to the state finals where Bob Trauffer emerged as state champ and Dick Goetz, Leon Lopez, and Hank Philmon took runnerup positions. The Demon point total for the finals was 14. just one behind West Waterloo, the defending champion. Trauffer. Goetz, and Lopez all completed their second consecutive season without a defeat in dual meets. Trauffer and Goetz were captains for the year. Prospects for the coming year look bright, since the sophomore squad under Bert Seidler completed an un- defeated year. As crowds increased and more enthusiasm raised, the season was the most encouraging in the record book. Thus, wrestling truly gained popularity throughout the year. Propare tor a crash landing.

The Fall cross-country track team which was composed of Don Hansen, Dick Kerr, Loren Wulf. Del Dryer, Merle Wessell and Ira Dunsworth won the MVC cross-country run and topped off their season by captur- ing the State mile run championship. The big events of the year were the Drake Relays, the Clinton Gateway Classic, Davenport Relays, in which approximately twenty-five teams participated, and the state meets. The Blue Devils rolled almost unopposed to the state class A indoor track meet at Iowa City, piling up 64l 2 points to 37 for Clinton, their nearest rival. Seven records fell in the I 7th annual Davenport Relays as the Imps swept to its 15th Relays victory, scoring 106 points to Clinton's 86 which clinched second place. The veteran two mile relay team chopped two seconds off the old mark and bettered their state meet mark by seven seconds. Dunsworth, Kerr. Wulf, and Hansen set the new mark. Highlight of the meet was a record smashing high jump of 6 feet 4 inches by DeWitt's Jim Stewart to set an all-time new state record. Assistant coaches to Mr. Day were Mike Dardis and Bill Rosing. Dunsworth and Wulf were team co-captains. Ccach Jesse Day's cross country track championship team: Ira Dunsworth, Loren Wulf, Don Hanson. Dol Dryer, Merle Wcssoll, and Dick Kerr. The 440-yard rolay team, Eddio Kline, Bill Meyer. Ott Sebolt, and Bob Brumfiol. show a victory smile after notching tho Davenport Relays title. Coach Doug Atkin's 1952 baseball team opened the season with a 2-1 win over the Moline Maroons at Brady St. Field. The squad included seven return- ing lettermen and a smooth working in- field that helped carry the 1951 Daven- port Junior Legion club into the regional eight tourney in Oklahoma. The veterans were co-captains Bill Gude and Carl Widseth, Don Robbins. Walt Martens. Harold Potts. Spencer Harris, and Lyle Moomey. Martens hit .380 against Legion ballclubs last year. Bill Gude and Don Robbins, aces of the moundsmen, carried the heavy load of the pitching chores. Highlights of the campaign was the third annual Davenport Invitational Tourney in which Quad-City teams par- ticipated and the State Tournament. Opponents on the regular season schedule were Roosevelt and Franklin of Cedar Rapids. Dubuque. Moline. East Moline, and Rock Island. Positions for the Imps were filled by Phil Huber, first base; Spencer Harris, second base; Lyn Makeever. third base; and Dick Hahn, shortstop. Outfield posts were handled by Walt Martens. John Coughlin, Don Robbins, and Bill Gude. Carl Widseth and Red Hatfield han- dled the catching duties while Gude. Robbins, and Jack Dittmer handled the greater part of the pitching chores. Handling the load of the pitching chores were veterans Bill Gude and Don Robbins with junior Jack Dittmer.

Having fair seasons, two inex- perienced tennis squads spent their seasons building for next year. The boys squad under Coach Dick Devine, were winless in the fall matches, but showed improve- ment during the spring. With four sophomores seeing considerable action, the Demon squad compet- ed in the Iowa City Invitational, MVC meet and state tournament, plus nine dual matches during the spring. Action was limited to Quad-City fall competition. John Woodward. Dave Kinser, Bob Beckman, Howard Hendrick- sen. Gary Capen, and George Frost comprised the first six. Mrs. Rena Driggs tutored the girls' squad which was also handi- capped by graduation, losing their entire first six. The girls opened their spring schedule April 19 with May 20 ending their campaign. Golf Fielding an experienced squad. Coach Russell Bickford's 1951-52 golfers displayed some su- perior shooting during the fall and spring campaigns. The short fall season was limited to Quad-City action, with Rock Island. East Moline. Moline, and St. Ambrose being the opponents. St. Ambrose's strong squad was the only team the Demons failed to conquer, although they did gain a tie with them once. Moline edged the Blue D3vil linkstcrs two matches to one. as Rock Island and East Moline failed to outpoint the Demons in the fall matches. With graduation taking Dick Van Alstyne. Tom Lindburg. and Jon Carle, main clogs in the team last year, the load fell on the shoulders of lettermen John Evans. Bob Wells. Don Oline, Tom Peters, Frank Trenery, and Jim Morton. The Spring schedule was highlighted by the District and State Meet. Iowa City played host to state finals. May 24. while Davenport entertained the district competitors at Duck Creek, May 17. With weather conditions improved over last year's, the golfers reached their peak quite early. Next year's outlook appears quite encouraging considering Oline, Peters, Trenery. and Morton will be back for action, plus a promising group of sophomores. The 1951-52 Golf Toam.

Opening night marks the climax of the stage production. The days of exhausting, hard work and hours of planning are over. The finished art is ready for the critics the mo- ment the curtain lifts. Whether or not the play will be a success and enjoy a long run depends solely on the audience's reception of it. So it is with our production. Although few can possibly understand the work that in- volves the making of a yearbook, it is ap- preciation enough for the staff if the book meets the approval of those who see it. and Encore brings hours of enjoyment to those who own one. As evidenced in the book, several new ideas have been incorporated into this year's BLACKHAWK. For reasons of over-all im- provement, more effective layouts, and to emphasize those things of importance and general interest to all, these plans have been innovated. We hope that these changes have more clearly and effectively presented the scenes of fifty-two to you. The Editor Boosters T. Fred Bailey- Dr. J. E. Berney Dr. L. J.
