Student Representatives Elected by Each Class Group
Promote Welfare ot Muslcy High in Varied Ways
Each class group ot the student body chose representatives to make
up the Student Council. Seniors elected tive, iuniors, tive, sophomores,
three, and treshmen, three. With the help ot l.. A. Schnaclq as taculty
adviser, this group exercised legislative powers throughout the year.
Still retaining the idea ot an honor study hall as in the old building, a
committee tormed rules to control and govern the library. This year,
however, the council conducted no trials. This governing group also had
iurisdiction ovor the halls through the hall monitor system, the order ot
procedure during assemblies, and the school dances atter games. They
promoted school spirit by designating an "M" day, at which time they
sold purple and gold badges to Musky students.
On November 27 this group ot students acted as hosts to council rep-
resentatives trom ,ten surrounding schools. The principal spealcer ot the N g X
day was Dr. l-larry K. Newburn ot the University ot lowa, who gave an
interesting talk on student activities.
The otticers ot this group were all seniors: Sydney Thomas was pres-
identg Curtis Deems, vice-president, and Jean Downing, secretary-treas-
urer.

Seco began this year's activities with an initiation of twenty-four new
members. Aprons, rolling pins, large hair ribbons, and red S's on fore-
heads have all become a familiar sight to Musky students on initiation day.

serious activities. The club aims to further the knowledge of girls inter-
ested in homemaking.
This year the girls learned and profited much from talks and discussions
on such subiects as personal grooming, styles, and household furnishings.
Jack Ficken, interior decorator, and Shirlee Glatstein, manager of a local
dress shop, were both guest speakers. The club held its regular meeting
on the third Tuesday of each month. In December they had a Christmas
party. Later they took advantage of leap year by having a true "Sadie
Hawkins" party.

were Maxine Furnas and Dottie McCullough, presidents: Carolyn Ruthen-
berg and Esther Schultz, vice-presidents: Lorma Gallaher and Jane Rich-

Future Farmers, Greenhands, Sponsor Club Exhibits
Compete in Rodent Contest, Have Corn Test Plots
The pictures on the mount below illustrate some ot the activities ot
agriculture students. Each year the vocational agriculture classes hold
an exhibit ot the truits and vegetables they have raised on their home
tarms. They sponsored the attair this season at the time the new building
was opened to the public, thus enabling the parents and triends ot the
boys to see some ot their work. One ot the visitors was Fred G. Messen-
ger, to whom Lindley B. l-loopes displayed a platetul ot tempting apples.
The boys divided into teams to compete in a rodent and pest ex-
terminating contest. They earned points tor each rat, mouse, gopher.
groundhog, Starling, and crow they killed. The losers in the contest had
to turnish the retreshments at an ice-skating party.
Another annual attair was the corn test plot experiment. Each ot the
boys cultivated several varieties ot corn on a ten-acre plot at his home
tarm. Thomas Watson won the corn grower's trophy, and Gale Nelson
was the winner ot the corn exhibition trophy tor l939.

A superior rating in the pre-state music contest in Muscatine was the
achievement ot the Muscatine High School chorus, under the direction
ot Clittord V. Thomas. The high ranking entitled the chorus members to
competition in the state contest at Fairtield, but they did not enter. The
plan tor state music competition was somewhat ditterent this year. Con-
testants earning superior ratings in the pre-state elimination contests
competed in one ot tour state contests, one in each section ot the state.
On May 2 the chorus went to Iowa City, where they participated in
the music testival conducted by the University ot Iowa. M. H. S. soloists
and small vocal groups also took part. Nationally lcnown critics judged the
music ot the outstanding Iowa high school groups who appeared at the
testival.
The chorus made several public appearances at schools and churches.
With the assistance ot tormer chorus members and other interested
adults, the chorus presented Handel's "Messiah" in the high school audi-
torium on December I7. They contributed to the beauty and ettective-
ness ot the high school Christmas assembly and Good Friday services.

Trip to National Tournament Serves as Inspiration
For Achievements by Members ot 1939-40 Squad
Four ot the outstanding members ot the I939-40 debate squad who
participated in the national tournament at Beverly I-IiIIs last June served
as an inspiration tor the achievements ot this year's team. Derrine Bieber,
Annette Lewin, Sydney Thomas, and Albert Goss, accompanied by Mr.
and Ivlrs. G. Bradtord Barber, made the western trip in a month, spending
eight days in Calitornia. They received a superior rating, debating the
question, Resolved: That the United States should torm an alliance with
Great Britain.
The question the debaters studied and discussed this season was-
Resolvedx That the United States should own and operate the railroads.
They debated this question at the Iowa Nine, N. F. L., district, and annual
girls' tournaments. They also traveled to Davenport and Galesburg and
to Augustana and Coe colleges to talce part in some heated arguments.
Each ot the seventeen students participating in this activity has taken
part in at least six debates, and all are members ot the National Forensic
League. Besides debate, some have tound time tor original oratory.

three otten held consultations during sixth
periods and betore and atter school. Musky
athletes always welcomed Wink and Kenny,
who brought them water and towels at vari-
ous intervals.
Art Causey connected with a torward
pass. The student body thrilled to the ex-
citing plays in last tall's tootball games. The
Musky team tinished third in the Little Six
Conterence. Sports authorities stated that,
owing to a bad start, the team was much
better than their record indicated.
Basketball squad members, Glen Bloom

Bob Kinnan, Lefty Schnack, Skip Weber Produce Cheers
On Musky Football Field, Basketball Court, Track
The successes and tailures ot Muscatine l-ligh School athletic teams
lay in the hands ot Bob Kinnan, Letty Schnack, and Skipper Weber. Long
hours ot coaching and watchtul waiting predominated in the work ot these
men.
Bob Kinnan has completed his ninth year as head basketball coach tor
the Muskies. l-tis state-wide reputation tor tine teams speaks well ot his
superior coaching. I-lis superstitions, his nervous antics during close
games, and his being just one ot the team make Bob a typical coach.
I-lead ot the gridiron and cinder paths was one Skip Weber, tormer
iylusky pertormer and Iowa U. letterman. Skipper has tour years ot
coaching tor the Purple and Gold to his credit and an impressive record.
With good material returning next year, Skip will be gunning tor his tirst
Little Six tootball championship.
g gfxs an assistant to Bob and Skip, Letty Schnackgolayed no minor part
in the successes ot the M. l-l. S. athletic program. We may sately call
Letty the right arm because the question ot tuture material lies wholly
with him. The main iob ot Schnack was to teach the rules and tundamen-
tals to the up-and-coming stars who composed the so-called B squad.
Coach Schnack assisted with baseball and had complete control ot the
tootball and basketball B squads.

pects Teatured the Turnout at The beginning ot the Tootball season last
Tall. An impressive victory over Lone Tree opened a season which looked
Tavorable to the Webermen. The game at Keokuk the tollowing week
proved that too much contidence isn'T a good policy. Battling a high-
pitched bunch ot Chiets, the Muskies emerged onthe short end ot a I4-7
skirmish. Seven days later The Muskies and the Trojans Trom Fairtield bat-
tled to a scoreless Tie at Jetterson Field. Not Tully recovered trom the
tray ot The previous week, The Purple and Gold took The only hard blow ot
The season Trom Burlington. The Grayhounds ran and passed all around
The Muskies to win 20-6 on The Burlington gridiron.
Finally hitting The stride that was to be expected, the Webermen
Turned on Tull speed and Trounced Mt. Pleasant 37-O aT The Muskies' tield
and a week later ran over The FT. Madison Bloodhounds 3 I-O aT The Prison
City Tield. ,
Beating Ottumwa lthe score 6-Ol was The one goal above all others
that The Muskies wanted and obtained This year. Showing a desire and The
heart to win, The Webermen tinished Third in The conterence standings.

Kinnan's Muslcy Cagers Progress to State Semitinalsg
Win Undisputed Little Six Conference Championship
"One ot my best teams as tar as all-around pertormances and coop-
eration are concerned," said Coach Bob Kinnan ot this year's team. Win-
ning the tirst six games was encouraging to the team ot veterans. Atter
losing a game to Mason City the Kinnanmen added another string ot eight
straight victories to their record. A let-down which almost proved tatal
occurred about this time and the Muskies bowed to Ottumwa and Fair-
tield in succession. Still in the running, the Muskies downed Ft. Madison
and clinched the Little Six championship by beating Mt. Pleasant 37-27.
Advancing through the sectional to the district tor the tirst time in
several years, the Muslcies began to get their courage baclc once more,
and tollowers ot the team began to rate it as one to beat in state com-
petition. From the district, held here at Muscatine, the Muslcies ad-
vanced tothe state meet at lowa City. Winning over Sergeant Blutt and
Waverly, they again met Mason City in the semitinals, which they lost
34-30. This game was really the climax ot the tournament as shown by
the enthusiasm ot some 8,500 spectators. All in all, Muscatine tans will
remember the Muslsies ot '39 and '40 tor their courage and will to win.

Pepsters Organize To Promote Better Cheering
For Encouragement ot Athletic Trophy Winners
Fitty-seven Muslqies organized the Pep Club with the idea ot stimulat-
ing more enthusiasm in the student body and developing new and better
yells. The group occupied one tull section ot bleachers at the basketball
games, adding much color and pep tothe scene. They participated in or-
ganized yells under the direction ot the tour cheerleaders, Belle Lamb,
Wilma Mardoclc, Darrel Miller, and Norman Weis. Underclassmen who
aided in leading the cheering were Carl Paetz, Margaret Swiclqard, Belly
Mohnsen, Marion Edmonds, Harriet Olatstein, and Herman Oriesen-
broclc. Throughout the year the club held scheduled meetings in the gym
under the supervision ot Miss Louisa Jericho, who served as taculty adviser.
This year the high school cheer leaders helped organize a pep club
at iunior high school. Possibly these seventh and eighth grade students
will be the ones to lead the cheers lor Muslcy athletes in tuture years.
Some ot the cheer leaders traveled to the sectional basketball tourna-
ment at Durant and the state bout at Iowa City to help Muslcy tans in en-
couraging the boys.

Petersen directed the girls in a program of health-building games, exer-
cises, and good times.
Outstanding pleasures of the year came in participation in three out-
of-town events. A group of the girls went to Washington, Iowa, where
they took part in the annual Cowgirl Round-up. Members of the organi-
zation were guests of Burlington girls at their annual G. A. A. play day.
Girls interested in swimming and diving accepted the invitation of the
Seals Club of the University of Iowa for a day of exhibitions and contests
at the university field house at Iowa City.
G. A. A. members ioined in a local program of swimming, hiking, pic-
nicking, and sports. They cooperated as captains and leaders of basket-
ball, volleyball, tumbling, and deck tennis groups at the Y. W. C. A.
Among these girls were a number who were active in urging the introduc-
tion of a girls' physical education department in the high school.
Officers of the Girls' Athletic Association were Betty Timm, presi-
dent: Margaret I-Ieitz, secretary, and Mavis Koepping, treasurer.
