Williams, Superintendent of Schools Admini Congratulations to the Rlackhawk staff, spon- sors, and to all members of the 1954 graduating class of Davenport High School. High school graduation is a big step. Much of what you do in the future will be deter- mined by your high school experiences. If you have learned how to study, to work with others, and to assume responsibility, you have good promise of success. If in addition you have developed a healthy body with moral and spiritual fiber, you are destined for leadership in your community. The class of 1954 has great possibilities. We hope and pray that each of you may enjoy the full measure of your abilities. Life will be full of opportunities for you. Be sure you accept those which will bring credit to you, your family, and your school. My best wishes to each of you. Superintendent of Schools Tha Administrative and Supervisory Staff. Superin- tendent Harold J. Williams. L E. Wats. Industrial and Adult Education Director; Leslie C. Goss, Director of Purchasing and Mainten- ance; and J. E. Baumgartner, Secretary and Comptroller. 8 ration Graduates of 1954: There are some events during each school year that enable us to remember a particular year for a long time. I suspect that you seniors will remember this school year as the one when the new concrete stands for 5000 persons and the dressing rooms were built at Brady Street Field, when Davenport High School was selected by Life magazine as an outstanding example of a good comprehensive public high school, and the year when the big “bulge” started in senior high school enrollment. In addition, I trust that you will remember with real pleasure and satisfaction many of the social events and the stimulating academic ex- periences in which you participated during 1953 - 1954. I trust that this has been a splendid year for each of you and you feel that Davenport High School has served you well. Congratulations and best wishes, Rogor Borry, Principal The Board of Education shown seated around the conference table are Mrs. Rhea Cornelius, Mr. Wal- ter Vieth, Mr. Les Jones, Superintendent Harold J. Williams, President Rich- ard LeBuhn, Mr. John G. Baumgartner, Mr. John Burrows, Mr. Albert Block and Mr. W. W. Brubaker. Don L Hampstead, Assistant Principal Don L. Hempstead, assistant principal of Davenport High School, in co-operation with Mr. Berry, lends a helping hand in solving both problems of the administration and of the student body. Mr. Hempstead’s duties are many. Acting as Director of the Cuidancc and Counseling De- partment, advising the Student Council, and serving as chairman in charge of the Study Halls, are only a few of the many tasks which he so ably performs. Nine teachers comprise the counseling staff who, under his direction, assist the student body in every possible way. All matters of atten- dance, scholastic and social curriculum, and personal problems of the students are given their individual attention. Miss Jeanette Keppy is secretary of the coun- seling office. The Counseling Staff. Seated are Miss Elizabeth Schaller, Miss Mabel Johnstone, Miss Lucille Burianelc, and Miss Jeanette Keppy, secretary of the Counseling Office. Standing are Allen Slickers.

When students of DHS need advice or simply wish to discuss their problems, whether they be those of the present or the future, Miss Sochren is the one to whom they invariably turn. Miss Soehren serves as the senior advisor, supervisor of college placement, and chaperones all of the social functions of Davenport High School. She is a member of the counseling staff and ranks next to Mr. Berry and Mr. Hempstead in offering counsel to the students. Mitt Leona L. Soehren, Dean of Students Tho Activitiet Office Staff.

Barbara LeBuhn and Dennis Fahrenkrog before a Student Council meeting. 51 Barbara Rodenberg Jayne Barker Joyce Beal Joan Bearbower 52 HOMECOMING Queen Pat Masonholder was crowned by Principal Roger Berry in the annual Home- coming and Friday, October 16. Her attendants were Jayne Barker, Jody Beal, Joan Bearbower, and Barb Rodenberg. The Queen was escorted to her throne and pre- sented with a scepter and crown. A skit was then giwen and the two co- captains were knighted for the Homecoming game. Trophies were awarded for the most original Homecoming displays that decor- ated the DHS halls. Following the program, everyone was invited by an impromptu faculty band to attend the pep rally held at Ripley street field. The royal party attended a banquet, held at the Lend-A-Hand Club, after which they left for the game. The Queen and her attendants were presented to the adults at the game. A huge Blue Devil head was put up at the North end of Brady street field. The players on the Davenport squad were intro- duced as they stepped through the Blue Devil’s mouth. The nineteenth annual Homecoming dance was held Saturday, October 17, with music furnished by Hal Wiese and his orchestra. The royal procession and the presentation of the victory football high- lighted the evening’s festivities.

If any reminder of high school days has become a traditional and treasured keepsake through the passing years, it has been the an- nual Blackhawk yearbook. This photographic essay of DHS life began to formulate in the minds of the editors and advisors even last summer. It grew through the school days until it is now a completed record of the past year. But after the yearbook is fin- ished, despite all the hard work or headaches, the entire staff is still grateful for the opportunity of making such a record possible. Surveying one of the products of their combined efforts are Picture Editors Signe Poison and Gary Benshoof.

This was the last season for Paul Moon. Ix oking hack over the past 26 years nothing can be found but a fabulous record of success. Under Mr. Moon the Imps have advanced to the state finals sixteen times, and three of the seven state titles came in a row, 1950-1952. In the sub-state field, Davenport has won eight titles. They also have to their credit seventeen dis- trict crowns and fifteen sectional titles. In the Mississippi Valley Conference the Imps have been undefeated eight times, and won sixteen out of twenty-five possible league crowns. Thirteen times in twenty years the Imps have won the Quad- City crown under Mr. Moon’s guidance. The overall record of Mr. Moon, often referred to as Mr. Basketball, stands at 538 victories and 110 losses. This gives the gentleman in spats a very satisfying 83 percent with which to retire. This year the Imps tore into their schedule winning the first four games before being dumped by East Moline 58 to 54. They then won three more before they lost another to St. Ambrose, 52 to 51, in a thrilling game in which Ambrose pulled fire in the last seconds. Coach Paul Moon’s basketball squad was run- ner up in the Mississippi Valley, and also in the Quad-City competition. The Imps compiled a record of 16 wins to only six defeats during the season of play. Time out gives Moon a chance to brief the boys on the plan for action. 119 Varsity Basketball Teem.

For the first time in the history of Davenport High School a wrestling team has brought this coveted title to Davenport. Co-captain Simon Roberts and Vince Garcia emerged as State champions at their respective weights of 133 and 95 pounds. Altogether Davenport placed ten men in the tournament, they were Jim Behncke, Bob Wulf, Jack Fahl, Jim Seusy, John Hennings, Morris Barnhill, Bob Ihlefeld, and Tony Rameriz in addition to Roberts and Garcia. The other Blue Devil co-captain, John Hennings, finished second in the meet. The Blue Devils lost only one dual meet during the entire season, that being to West Waterloo, who finished second in the State finals. The Imps also tied with Moline and East Waterloo. Much of the suc- cess of the team lies with their fine coaches Jim Fox and Burt Seidler. In the six short years that Coach Fox has been at Davenport he has led the Blue Devils from obscurity to the best in the state. The sophomores lost only one meet during the year, that being to Maquoketa, by the score of 21 to 20. In the thirteen dual meets that the Blue Devil grapplers participated in they accumulated a total of 379 points to their opponents 166. Dur- ing the course of the season the Imps entered a total of five tournaments winning all of them. They were victorious in the Quadrangular tournament at Rock Island, the Mississippi Val- ley Conference, the Davenport Invitational, the District tournament, and the state finals. Quite a record!
