Career Day, the most extensive of its kind in the country . . . then the Senior Class Play, old-style melodrama . . . plus all the regular events of the year . . . Senior-Junior Prom, and dancing the night away . . . picnicking and frolicing . . . and, finally, the reward for years of faithful work ... the long walk across the stage, the firm hand clasp ... the rolled scroll, the coveted diploma . . . congratulations . . . 16 17 PorirMi iy Csruntta Studio These were the Grade-A leaders of the class of '55: Margaret Lindsay, Tom Murphy, Joan Pavel and Don Otto. The busy day of a senior's life included the planning of all the senior activities. In the fall, approximately 560 seniors elected Don Otto, president; Tom Murphy, vice-president; Joan Pavel, secretary; and Margaret Lindsay, treasurer. The next event was the class party, the Senior Sock Hop, this year called the Buckboard Bounce.” The all-important Senior Career Day was held April 27. All seniors were first inspired by a kick-off speaker and panel discussion, followed by an afternoon of visitation to an occupational field of their own choice. Over 300 seniors assisted in the planning. The Senior Class next presented The Great Diamond Robbery,” May 6 and 7, with a cast .of over 40. The never-to-be-forgotten senior assembly and picnic began to close the doors of high school. The climax was the Senior-Junior Prom on June 3, a night long to be remembered. Baccalaureate and Commencement sent the high school graduates on their own separate ways, each holding a different treasure chest of memories of DHS. 18 Charles Anderson Karolyn Anderson Dixie Lee Ackerman Sylvia Adams Richard Anderson Jacques Andre Walter Aerni Joseph Aguirre Betty Arp Dennis Arp Kenneth Albers Ronald Albers Edwin Arp Delbert Arps Jack Albrecht Norbert Albrecht Jack Avis Joy Bacon Shirley Alfred Jerry Allen Glenn Baggerly Richard Bargmann Pete Allers Marguerite Altermatt a Thomas Barnet Diana Bartosch Jerold Batey Shirley Baxter Phillip Bearbower Harold Beck Leo Behai.

The revealing of the Queen’s closely-guarded identity in the Blackhawlc sent the school into a whirl of Homecoming excitement. Coronation of Queen Marian Hastings and presentation of her court of attendants, Janet Fidlar, Jo Nelson, Joan Pavel and Mary Wicgmann, highlighted the all-school aud. At Ripley street field cheerleaders whipped up more pre-game enthusiasm among the celebrants. That evening the Blue Devils slipped past Moline 14-13 for the season’s most significant victory before a tense, but jubilant crowd. Queen Marian and her court made a final formal appearance the following evening at the Homecoming dance, when she knighted co-football captains Mike Dardis and Bob Ihlefeld in recognition of action on the field. Gathering in small groups, alumni exchanged pleasant memories of their days at DHS, and everyone danced until Homecoming 1954 became an event of the past.

STORIES TOLD IN SONG Dodging ladders and equipment, tripping over hammers and saws, and avoiding loose wires added to the danger and regular confusion of the operetta rehearsals. Disappointment ran high when the beautiful blue velvet curtains weren't ready in time for the production. Nevertheless using makeshift curtains, the operettas were termed a great success, and the christening of the remodeled stage was complete. Portraying Mary and Joseph for a tabloid in the Song of Christmas arc Nadine Latimer and Dale Bicbcr. The a Cappella presented the story in song with various members singing solos.

DRAMA ON STAGE.. COMEDY AND TRAGEDY Presenting the All-School Play, Harvey,” was the first big undertaking excellently performed by the dramatics department January 13 and 14. From this the drama-inclined students turned to the Winter Play Festival which was staged in February. Festival awards were voted to Janet Jugcnheimcr, Best Play Director; Nancy Erickson and Janice Peterson, Best Actresses; and Ruby Chatman, Honorable Mention. The Spring Festival was held in April and the Senior Play, The Great Diamond Robbery, an old fashioned melodrama rounded out the season in May. Most of the dramatic productions were delayed by stage construction, but the convenience of the remodeled stage more than compensated for any temporary inconvenience. 62 Going over their lines in Harvey for a last time before going on-stage. Jo Nelson and Joan Pavel tensely search their memories. They didn't forget cither. biwood P. Dowd, better known to DHS students as Roy Flul poses with his friend Harvey after All-School Play. Althc Harvey is rather evasive, he kindly conse to just one photo, the way, a rumor that some of the viewers of the didn't actually sec1 the Tall C was circulated, proves that he really was there. Better I your eyes checked. The heavenly pie on the table was the main character in This Way To Heaven, presented at the Winter Play Festival. Supporting players were Jan Wiedeman, Carol Ives and Bob Eckcrman. Which part to try out for? is the ?|uestion here at the tryouts or the Senior Class Play, The Great Diamond Robbery, directed by Mr. Marston and presented May 5 and 6th. The art of make-up is aptly demonstrated by Alice Fulk on Jan Peterson as Mrs. Tornquist supervises the operation. In dramatics classes students study make-up techniques and practice them on each other. Sounds like fun. 63 Mister Mortibo)- and Tom Fisher look over the score for one of the acts. ■ WHILE WE DANCED iT THE MARDI HP Ac Luring both young and old, the 1955 Minstrel invited all to Come to the Mardi Gras.” Complete with southern jazz band and the blues, the cast provided an evening of merriment and complete entertainment. Called by many the best Minstrel ever, the house was packed both Friday and Saturday evenings, February 25 and 26, with SRO Saturday night. The colorful and bright extravaganza of vocal and instrumental and dance acts, M.C.ed by Tom Fisher, was directed by F. E. Mortiboy, while Milton Anderson assisted by directing the a Cappella. As in the past, the DUS Band and Orchestra Parents Club sponsored the show and did most of the behind-the-scenes planning and preparation. The opening cha MARDI GRAS . . .

Gaining additional experience and poise in contest speaking situations are two of the benefits extra- curricular public speakers derived from the program. Hours of hard work, with the criticism and advice of Mr. Ralph McGee, public speaking advisor, were spent preparing for contest work in humorous, dramatic, and oratorical declamation, extemporaneous speaking, television, radio speaking, original oratory, interpretive reading, student senate and discussion.

Approximately ten active speech students constituted the membership of the National Forensic League, an honorary speech organization. Officers for 1955 were Emily Conklin, president; Tom Fisher, vice-president; Nancy Erickson, secretary, and Jay Rohwedder, treasurer. 67 VOCAL MUSIC The a Cappclla Choir Being in a Cappclla is an honor held by only seventy-five DUS pupils. A lot of time and energy was put in by each member, but they were rewarded with a trip to Ottumwa for the spring festival and with singing before various civic organizations in Davenport. Selected groups also attended state contest, both in the fall and spring. These various groups are Madrigal, Girls' Sextet, Boys' Quartet, Girls' Quartet, Mixed Octet, Double Quartet, and Mixed Quartet. Most songsters who aspire to make a Cappclla first enroll in one of the other vocal courses. These courses are Girls' Glee Club, Beginning Chorus and Advanced Chorus.

Bringing national acclaim to Davenport, the Davenport High School Band, under the capable direction of F. E. Mortiboy, appeared December 17 at the Mid-West National Band Clinic to highlight the Chicagoland Music Festival. Playing before thousands of directors and critics from all over the country, the organization drew praise from all for its outstanding performance: the reward for diligent daily practice by the 111 members. No less busy has been the orchestra, which performed publicly several times, notably accompanying the operettas and the Christmas program. Special groups also played for various occasions, such as the Minstrel Show. The 53 members practiced every day as a group, besides individual preparation. The Spring Concert and the Ottumwa Music Festival, in which both instrumental groups participated, also highlighted the year.

Margaret Lindsay, Jackie Lindahl and Don Otto, and Shirley Eller, secretary. who were responsible for Christmas decorations. Open House- planning. the rearrangement of trophies, and obtaining a TV set so loyal fans could watch the World Series. Striving for betterment of high school conditions and activities was the objective of the 1955 Student Council. DHS was instrumental in organizing the Quint-City Student Congress, comprised of representatives from all high school student councils. The Code of F.thics. proposed by the DHS delegation, was adopted by all. Much time and thought were given to the revision of the trophy arrangement. The Council initiated a student collection to finance a foreign student next year. As in the past, the organization assisted the Athletic- Parents’ Club in its program. 72 if STUDENT PROGRESS Glancing at a Red Cross publication arc the Red Cross officers: Winnie Rook, president; Evelyn Shippy. secretary, and Donna Stewart, vice-president. Opening the year with a membership drive, the Junior Red Cross collected $160. Projects included gift boxes for foreign children, Christmas sacks, tray favors, and cards for shut-ins. The Senior Council, composed of two representatives from every high school and junior high in Davenport and Bettendorf, met bi-weekly to plan projects for the Red Cross groups to carry out. Mrs. Imogcne Sandway directs Red Cross representatives Janet Kelsey and Annabcllc Corcoran in the packing of gift boxes for children in foreign lands. i r BY-LINES AND DEADLINES Dashing, colorful, and hard-hitting might describe the 1954-55 Blackhawk which from time to time departed from the staid ways of high school journalism to delve into subjects of worldly interest. Feature- editorials presented food for thought on the extensive topics of teachers’ salaries, driver education and racial discrimination. The paper also received a modernistic layout with shorter stories to produce a sharper, more clear cut and more interesting paper for the student body. John Ronncbcck.

However, this achievement required endless hours of thought and digging for material. After writing, copyreading and proofreading, the Blackhawk was printed on DHS’s own presses, a feat few high school papers can claim. The staff rejoiced when the news was received of the Blackhawk winning a first place award in the annual contest sponsored by the Scholastic Press Association of Columbia University. Mr. H. H.

The larger, more modern book has a new style hard cover and a more streamlined layout throughout. The impish little figures seen meddling in various activities throughout the book were created by Mary Lou Wiegmann, Art Editor. For the first time in the history of DHS all graduating seniors had their pictures taken for the annual a real accomplishment! Another change was the inclusion of individual pictures of the faculty members, in place of group pictures. Most DHS students would question the sanity of anyone coming to school on Saturdays, but yearbook staff members worked Saturday mornings as well as before and after school. Working early and late, the staff writers racked their brains to liven-up” copy, and deadlines were an ever-present threat to the sanity of several as they put together the memories of another eventful year at DHS.

The military ideal is secondary, but contributes to the achievement of the basic goal. Most activities of the cadets arc extra curricular, including the ROTC band, drill team, color guard, and various rifle teams. ROTC's social event of the year culminates with the commissioning of the Honorary Cadet Colonel and Majors, this year Janet Fidlar, Joan Pavel and Barbara Bowers, respectively. A rather unusual feature of the color guard this year is that two sets of twins carry the colors for the DHS ROTC battalion. They are George Ashton. William Ashton. Steve Frederic ksen and Barry Fredericksen. The ROTC Drill masters execute the Queen Anne’s Salute. Members of the drill team practice faithfully to perfect the precision maneuvers. Cadet l.ieut. Col. Howard Goettsch is the leader of the Masters this year. Blue scarves, white helmets and distinctive foot gear demote their special position in the ROTC program. To the Buckboard Bounce! Toasting this grand event are the co-chairmen, Sarah Derry and Arno Lafrenz, who put in a lot of hard work to insure the party's success. And a success it was! Shoes were checked at the door, so it was truly a sock hop. Bales of hay, corn stalks, and a barnyard atmosphere set the scene. The net result of the evening? Tired feet and happy smiles. Fine entertainment was a major attraction at each of the class parties. The Junior Cotton Ball, April in Paris, was no exception as Dave Dengcr proves here. The Cotton Ball featured a Parisian setting, strolling accordianist, can-can line of shapely fellas, plus the danccable rhythm of the Swingsters. 80 CLASS PARTIES ... FUN FOR ALL Musical Hits provided an appropriate theme for the party that made a hit with the newcomers. Responsible for tl� e success of the Newcomers' Party were the sophomore committee chairmen, Jean Berg, Julie Gibson. Anne Cummins, Mel Harper, Bob Curnan and Jim Wilhelm. Nice job, kids. Chaperones are a necessary evil, but in this case they were merely necessary. The seniors also entertained the parents of the co-chairmen.

(Say, kids, you didn't know as much French as you thought you knew, did you?)

Mike Fcnn turns on the stean trying to elude the grasp of Moline tackier. Corning up to giv him a hand is Bob Sanders (44) FOOTBALL Davenport football coach, Anton J. (Butch) Stolfa, and his assistants looked forward to the 1954 season with mixed feelings. We knew we had a lot of good, experienced material coming back from the year before, said Stolfa, and we anticipated a pretty good season. But we didn't want to count our chickens too soon. All we could do was work hard and hope that the experience and talent we had in our hands would perform as we knew it could.” If ever a team fulfilled a coach's hopes, it was this 1954 squad. The Imps copped all the titles in sight, the City, Quad-City and Mississippi Valley Conference. And, in addition, they gained statewide recognition, placing second to Roosevelt of Des Moines in the final Iowa sportswriters' balloting to select the states top eleven. Triumphs over St. Ambrose,. 10 to 0, and Cedar Rapids McKinley, 48 to 0, were previews of good things to come in the early fall. It was not the fortune of the Imps to rack up a spotlcss season, however, as they fell 13 to 0 in their next outing at Iowa City for their only setback of the campaign. With this behind them they rolled through their next three games on the schedule blanking Dubuque 35 to 0 and Ivast Moline 34 to 0, and ruining Clinton's homecoming 40 to 14. Bob Beardsley's second extra poipt kick spelled the difference for the Blue Devils as they edged Moline 14 to 13 in the DHS old grad celebration the following weekend. Victories over Franklin of Cedar Rapids. 27 to 0 and 14 to 7, wound up the season's gridiron activity. Team play carried the Davenport representatives through their schedule in successful fashion. Backficld stalwarts included Bob Hebcler, Mike Fenn, Mike Dardis, and Bob Sanders. All four received either state mentions or all-city recognition. Hebcler gained third team all-state honors. The Blue Devils' stellar line was led by All-Stater Vivan Ragusa. Others who sparked the drive of the forward wall included Bob Ihlcfcld, Bob Garman, Bob Hain, Sam Bowlby, AI Cartee, Louie Black, Bill Brookstra, Joe Gomez, Fred Kocstcr and Tom Murphy, many of whom also gained all-state mention or who placed on all-city squads. In addition senior lettermen, Dick Kreiter, John Micheel, Stan Miller, Andy Graaf and John Nickles ably backed up the starters. Despite preseason pessimism by Coach Bob Williams, the sophomore football squad came through with a fine season, winning six games and losing only one. In the process, the yearlings copped the Quad-city and City championships. Bill Roberts. Ted Zeincr, and Don Wyatt spearheaded the Implet attack most of the year.

Dennis went on to become the 153 pound champion of Illinois. 119 ______A The Varsity Wrestling Squad With eight members of last year's state championship team gone, wrestling coach Jim Fox and assistant coach Burt Seidler were faced with the task of rebuilding the sejuad. Vince Garcia, Bob Ihlcfcld, and Morris Barnhill were the sole carry-overs from last season's first eleven, with Garcia and Ihlcfcld being elected co-captains at the start of the campaign. Starting the year in fine fashion, the Imps won first place in the Davenport Quadrangular Meet. After polishing off Roosevelt in their next effort, 36-3, the Demons took first place in the Davenport Invitational Tournament, in which seven other teams, both from Illinois and Iowa, competed. A week later, the Blue Devils suffered their only defeat of the year, losing to West Waterloo, 27-13, the team that eventually won the state title. For eight dual meets following the loss to West, the Red and Blue couldn't be stopped. They walloped Iowa City 49-0, East Moline 49-3, and Franklin (C.R.), 37-6. In their next meet, against Clinton, the Imps encountered the only stiff opposition they were to run up against in the eight-meet skein. The River Kings lost a 20-19 decision to the Demons, who by then had established themselves as contenders for the state title. McKinley's Golden Bears were next on the Blue Devil's list, as Davenport racked up a 35-6 win over the Cedar Rapids outfit. In what was touted as a tournament preview, the Davenportcrs tangled with East Waterloo. If there was any doubt as to the Imp's worth, it was dispelled in tliis meet, as they tied with the northern crew, 19-19. East had been the only team to tie West Waterloo all season. Along the way Davenport added the usual Quad-City Conference and Mississippi Valley Conference titles to its laurels. In the district meet, ten out of the eleven Blue Devils who participated qualified for the state tourney, and. seven days later, Davenport closed out its season with a 32-3 defeat of Clinton. The co-captains. Bob Ihlefeld ami Vince Garcia, started out the season by showing the newer members of tl� e squad sonte of the more elementary wrestling holds. By the narrowest of margins, the Red and Blue missed doing a repeat on the state championship, 55-54. The Demons held a 22-20 edge going into the finals and had four wrestlers still in contention. Bob Hain, Bob Ihlefeld, Vince Garcia, and Jim Craig were the four who were bidding for championship honors. Garcia was defeated by Orlo Otteson of Osage, and Craig lost a heartbreaker to Jim Hoewison of Clarion, 3-2. Ihlefeld and Hain, however, survived to become state champions, the former at 154 pounds, and the latter at heavyweight. Hain won his laurels by virtue of a 2-1 win. while Ihlefeld pinned his man in 5:55 to win his twenty-fourth consecutive match of the year, and remain undefeated. Morris Barnhill picked up a third and Richard I'oens a fourth in the consolation finals. Nineteen boys won varsity one year awards; Wayne Spahr, Tom Ramirez, Francis Freeman, Harold DufTicld, Jerry Sturms, Dennis Smith, Clifford Stubbs, Bob Elliott, Bob Brunk, Wilbur Frahm, Ed Kauffman, Leonard Frauen, Larry Frauen, Jim Martens, Mike Bewley, Fred Welzcnbach, Bob Garman, Dick Dunsworth, and Roy Simpson. Grapplers who gained letters for the second time were Dick Foens, George Wetsell, Jim Craig, Don Pfanncnsteil, Jim Barton, Bob Leach, Arno Lafrenz, Tom Murphy, Jack Greenlee, and Bob Hain. Bob Ihlefeld, Vince Garcia, and Morris Barnhill won three year awards. Both the sophomore and reserve wrestling squads went undefeated again this season. The yearlings had a 10-0 record, while the reserves won eight, losing none. Coach Scidlcr's soph squads have- lost only two meets since he took over in 1949. Jack Hill, Ron Borgstadt, Tom Choate, Jim Dixon, Tom King, and Bob Theer received reserve letters, while Jim Beck, Gary Fuller, John Miller, Ron Tuggeburg, Roger Waddell, John Curtis, and Jack Zuber won soph numerals. Larry Wolffe and Bill Young received manager awards. The Sophomore Wrestling Squad Ken Denger and Sam Bowlby watch a� Mike Fenn steals a rebound against Franklin of Cedar Rapids. Chuck Roberts leaps high to shoot over the outstretched hand of a Rock Island defender. Mike Fenn and Tom Keyoth get ready for a rebound. BASKETBALL Four Iowa Citians move in trying to stop Mike Fenn. but the peppery Demon guard is up and away for a layup. Starting off the season in rather dubious fashion, the eagers lost a 51-37 decision to Keokuk but they bounced back to down McKinley, and upset Iowa City. After an 83-53 loss to hast Moline, the Imps went on to win five out of their next seven contests before losing a return engagement to Iowa City. By far the most thrilling game of the regular season was played during this stretch. It was the Rock Island game, in which, with the score 50-50, Lee Frandsen was fouled as the final buzzer sounded, and sank has first free throw for the win. Following the loss to Iowa City, the Imps gained revenge against East Moline for the early season rout the Hilltoppers had scored, beating the Illinois quintet, 58-55. February 18 in Marshall Gym met Dubuque for the MVC title. The fact that the Imps had even gained the stature of contenders surprised the experts,” most of whom did not concede Davenport even a chance to finish in the first division. They were even more astounded when the Demons won the tilt, 68-62, to wear the crown for the seventeenth time in the school’s history. With all five of last year's starters gone, the basketball team, and new coach Paul Eckert, were faced with a rcbulding job as big as that of the wrestling team. Eckert, who was the sophomore coach at Centralia High School in Illinois, was picked to succeed Paul Moon, who retired last year. Coach Eckert introduced the man-to-man defense to DHS basketball, and also incorporated the extensive use of the jump shot in his offense. Having only two senior Iettcrmcn returning from the '53-’54 squad, he concentrated on developing his juniors, hoping to build a seasoned club for next season. As it turned out, those juniors carried the bulk of the scoring load, with Chuck Roberts, junior guard, making the third team of the IDPA all-state selections. Mike Fcnn, senior, made Jack North s Des Moines Register Tribune 4th all-state team. Tom Keyoth shoots a hook shot over the heads of two Iowa City defenders as Sam Bowlby (34) and Ken Denver (partially obscured by 45 of I.C.) dose in for the possible rebound. The 1954-55 Blue Devils: Left to right Handing: Jerry Block, John Villinis, Ken Denger, Tom Hamilton, Mike Fenn, Chuck Roberts, Dick Pohlmann, Don Otto, Lee Framlscn, Dick Kaut , Kelvin Sidney.

Davenport dropped its next game, against Rock Island, but rebounded with a district tourney win over Clinton, 59-52. The Imps wound up their regular season with a 60-58 victory against Muscatine. In the sub-state tournament, the Demons were knocked out in their first contest by upset-minded Wheatland, 61-59- I:our seniors won letters this year, with Fenn and Jerry Block receiving two year awards, and Don Otto and Tom Keyoth receiving one year letters. With the emphasis on youth this year, six juniors won first year letters. They were Sam Bowlby, Ken Denger, Lee Frandsen, Tom Hamilton, Chuck Roberts, and Kelvin Sidney. Rounding out the lineup of letter winners were sophs John Villinis and Bob Cassatt. Reserve awards went to Don Chalupa, Dick Kautz, Bob Lunardi, Dick Pohlmann, and John Sebolt, while Tom Fry, Gary Simpson, Dennis Dietz, and Jim McPherson won manager awards. Coach Clem Bridge's sophomore team compiled a fine 9-1 record in MVC play to cop the league crown. A touch of humor was injected into the winning of the championship, as Bridge, whose soph teams have won the title with monotonous regularity, couldn't remember offhand whether it was his 22nd or 23rd league championship. The team's overall record was 13-6. The Junior Varsity cage team compiled a respectable record of seven wins and six losses. The JV's, or reserves, are coached by assistant coach, Paul Still. 124 Grabbing for the ball arc John Villinis (41) and an All-State Clinton foe.

First Row: Jerry Frei, Bill Carter and Chuck Hulsc. Second Row: Coach Clem Bridge, Jim Blohm, Sandy Hook, Jack Lcabo and Bob Curnan. The 1955 Davenport High School Track Team Inclement weather kept the track team from getting outside for practice until late in March. However, the squad began getting in shape on February 2, in preparation for their first meet, the MVC indoor. They did handsomely, copping first place, and finishing 46 points ahead of second place Clinton, 83-37. In their second effort of the season, they won fifth place in the State indoor meet, the highest ranking Eastern Iowa team. In the MVC meet, the Demons copped eight first place finishes out of twelve events. Ron McDermott finished first in the high and low hurdles to lead the way. LeRoy Crawford took the first section of the 880 yard run, while the third Imp runner to win a first was Alex Stamos in the fifty yard dash. Dean Maas tied for first place in the high jump, with the fifth individual winner for Davenport being Gale Parks in the broad jump. The Blue Devils also came in first in the mile and 440 yard relays. In the state meet Crawford took third in the 880, Stamos and Barry Braack finished third and fourth respectively in the fifty yard dash, McDermott and Maas were fourth and fifth in the high hurdles, Stanton came in fifth in the 440, Parks won third place in the broad jump and tied for third in the pole- vault, and Dave Hcnschen was third in the high jump and fifth in the shot put. After seeing his team in action twice, Coach Day felt that this year's performance would see a definite improvement over that of the '54 squad. Senior letter winners who returned from last year were Ralph Boden, Mike Fcnn, Arno Lafrenz, John Michcel, Chuck Holman, I-'red Fcidler, Parks and Crawford. Crawford and Fcnn were the year's co-captains. Synchronizing their watches arc coaches Mike Dardis, Jesse Day and Loci Fredcrickson. Warming up, Gary Stanton, Lee Crawford, Terry Tingwald and Charles Leptien run a lap across the field.

The 1955 DHS Baseball Team BASEBALL After seeing his charges knock off Moline, 10-6, and St. Ambrose, 4-0, in their first contests, coach Doug Atkins was somewhat optimistic as to his club's possibilities for the year. Atkins felt that this year's team was as good defensively and better offensively than last year's. The Moline game bore out his statement, as all but two of the Imps who played collected hits. The Blue Devils hit safely fifteen times in garnering their ten runs. Against the Knights, Roger Jordan turned in a fine 3 hit performance with St. Ambrose contributing four errors to the Demon cause. Seniors who figured prominently in the Blue Devils' plans as the season got under way were pitchers Roger Jordan, Dale Natzke, Lou Black; inficlders Dick Likeness, Lou Shirlaw, Dick Kay and Jerry Block; and outfielders Harry Radeke, Nade Wiese and Stan Miller. Rounding out the squad were juniors Iiarl Osterberg, Tom Hamilton, Dick McKee, Bob Garinan, Bob Lunardi, Kelvin Sidney, AI Cartce, Larry Lambert, and Ken Denger. It doesn't really take four Demons to catch one ball. Jerry Block. Dick Likeness, Karl Osterberg and Louis Shirlaw arc posing during a practice session. 128 Outfielders Stan Miller. Nade Wiese.

The golfers, nder Coach Russell Bickford, won seven out of eight of its regular season matches in the fall, and also finished first in the Quad-City medal play following completion of its regular schedule. Squad icmbers who contributed heavily to the Demon effort were Jim Blohm, Chuck Hulsc, Ed Shumann, Scott (look, and Jack Risley. ob Martin, Dick Munro, and Willis Hogan also figured prominently in the Imp link action. Vk - ' The boy's tennis team: First-Row: Bill Hawkins, Ed Brody, Jim Wallace. Dave Iltcn, Jim Hussett. Second Row: John Thomas, Bob Curnan. Don Peteet, Jim Davis, Don Moeller, and Roger Shafer. TENNIS Without a single letterman returning from last year, the DHS tennis team did not figure to win many matches this season. Coach Paul Moon felt, however, that the campaign would afford valuable experience to the six sophomores and one junior who comprised the bulk of the '55 sejuad. Bob Curnan, Ed Brody, Jim Davis, Bill Hawkins and Dave Buhl, all sophs, showed a lot of promise as the season got under way. With them as a nucleus in '55-’56, the team's fortunes will probably be better next year. In addition to the five players already mentioned, Dave Iltcn, Roger Shafer, Don Peteet, Jim Hussett, and John Thomas participated in the net sport. The girls' fall tennis team improved over last year's team with the girls taking 2nd place in the Quad-City tennis meet September 25. Nine old members returned to strengthen the team's five new members. The spring team faced their usual rugged schedule under the direction of Mrs. Rena Driggs, coach. Through this program, sportsmanship has improved among the girls of the Quad-City area. The East Moline and Davenport team members have a picnic each year.

The best marksmen in the ROTC Battalion are eligible for membership in this organization. Jacques Andre captained the team. This year’s National Rifle Association team was made up of fifty members, both boys and girls. Membership was open to any interested student attending DHS. Members competed in two matches against Burlington, Vermont and also the NRA National match. In this National match, each school team was given a rating and the first ten teams received medals. Each member received a rating from among the 3000 individual entries. An Inter-Club match was held late in the year, in which medals were given to the high scoring boy, girl and team.

Under the direction of Burt Scidler and Jim Fox, the Davenport High boy’s intramural set-up is one of the largest and most complete in the Midwest. It encompasses both team and individual sports and affords an opportunity for athletic achievement to more than 400 DHS boys. Starting off the intramural program for the year, thirteen teams, including both the Junior-Senior and Sophomore leagues, vied for touch football honors. Danny White’s team copped the title in the Junior-Senior league, while Gale Parks' squad took the laurels in the Soph division. White won the school championship in a playoff against Parks. During the winter, wrestling and basketball took over with 70 boys participating in the mat sport, and almost 250 players on 24 teams engaging in cage activity. Jerry Ralfs' team won the Junior-Senior loop crown, going undefeated in thirteen contests, and Conrad McWilliams' team took the Soph Championship. Ralfs defeated McWilliams for the school title. In volleyball, 20 teams participated. Competition in horseshoes, ping-pong, badminton, handball, track and field, and softball in the spring wound up the year's activities. An unsuccessful spike sends the opposing team into frenzied action. Team spirit and friendly rivalry reach a high point in intramural championship games. Apply the old adage, May the best team win.

Starting off in the fall, the girls engaged in field hockey and archer)’. During the winter, 90 girls on various teams competed in basketball and volleyball. With the coming of spring, golf, softball, table tennis, badminton, shufik-board, aerial darts, deck tennis and tether ball took over. Bowling, which was carried on during the winter, was, in the opinion of Miss Holderness and Mrs. Driggs, the most successful activity. Seventy-eight girls actively participated in tw’o leagues. Medals were awarded to the girls who ran up the highest single game total, the highest total over the whole season, and to the members of the teams that amassed the best over all point totals. Pat Morris scored the highest single game total for the one league, with Maxine Stuhr taking honors in the other. Marking up the highest season's point total were Judy Mohr and Shirley Roscnboom. The best team performance was turned in by Shirley Albers' team for the first league and Phyllis Border s for the second.

SWISS STUDENT Financing a year at DHS for a lucky (we hope) foreign Student has been a joint project of Tri-Y, Hi-Y and the student body. Plans for this first venture into the foreign field were begun in 1954 and then extended into the Co-ed Carnival, the Hi-Y car-wash, and the sale of Christmas tree tickets to raise the necessary revenue of approximately $700. Through the American Field Service, a student in Switzerland was located, processed” and finally delivered in September of '54. He, Simon Wchrli, resided with DHS'er Dick Kreiter during his year in Davenport. Here he has lived the active life of any high school fellow, and has, in turn, left his mark upon the students: A great majority of the latter could easily point out Switzerland on a map and even inject some information on the subject. During his short year at DHS, Si has seen a true picture of American life, has experienced commonplace events and met countless people. We hope that when he returns to his home he will be able to share with his family and friends what he has gained with us, and that we too have benefited from the student plan.

SENIOR CAREER DAY Mike Dardis, general chairman for Career Day, finally gets a chance to sit down . . . pretty big desk, too! Mike is shown visiting the office of a local lawyer who happens to be giving him some tips on the profession — no fee. Engaging in an activity as extensive as the DHS Senior Career Day is a more than admirable project for most schools, but DHS is unique in one respect in this undertaking: it is the largest high school to attempt such a vast project. Career Day gives the seniors an opportunity to obtain an insight into the field of work they plan to enter. Their visit gives them a first hand experience and information . no book could offer. The 1955 Career Day, April 27, opened with an address by a top-notch guest speaker, and a panel discussion in which DHS students participated. Two periods of conferences followed. Seniors had a wide range of occupations from which to make their conference choices. In the afternoon, they were actually guests in the offices of industries they selected. Sixty-nine occupational fields were available for visitation. Almost all of the seniors served on committees along with many teachers to prepare for the day. Mike Dardis had the prodigious job of student chairman. Reactions to the event were unanimously in favor, and all enjoyed the day immensely. On the job observation proved the highlight of the day.
