D. MacNaughton, our principal. Since October of 1940, Mr. Mac- Naughton has been in defense training with the 126th infantry at Camp Beauregard, Louisiana. Upon his return next term he will again take up the task of leading his army of students.

Our own Mr. Sidney Eleveld has been in national defense service at Camp Livingston, Louisiana, since October, He has been active in the Nation.al Guards for many years and was recently promoted to the rank of Lieutenant- Colonel. just as he has guided many of Ottawa's boys toward a life-long vocation, he is now helping to guide many of the nation's young men toward .a fuller life and greater service to their country. L81 lllllllllll WTENTION! SQUADS RIGHT! Forward marchll' These commands are being heard daily by the young men whom America's defense program has called to army camps the country over. Company, halt! The steady tramp ceases as the officer's voice booms, Today's march ex- tends over familiar groundsf' With anticipation, the soldiers hear, Forward, march! With this command, we too, march off to visit familiar ground, our own Ottawa Hills High School. 1191 lflll A Editor ' Nor Associate Faculty Editor Senior Editor . Assistant . . Class Editor .

Shoulders back! Chest out! Chin in! Forward march! As Ottawa's army marches on, good posture is necessary. This is gained in the Physical Education classes. Here they also learn to continue the march through life as good sports ready to help another fellow in need. Miss Ellinger, the girls' gym teacher, is having a softball tournament in the seventh, eighth, and ninth grades this Spring. She is the sponsor of the Lewa Club, the girls' athletic club. Mr. Koets, the boys' gym teacher, also coaches the second teams in football and basketball and the first team in baseball. Art Stiff Patriotism Among Students ART IS ONE of the subjects that is very helpful in the school because they make all the posters for the football games, basketball games and other athletic activities and for the other activities given by the various organizations. They also help in the publications throughout the year. Miss Zellner's eighth grade art classes are working on oil paintings, and Miss William's does clay modeling, wood carving, and drawings. In the picture Miss Crego watches two girls doing wood carving. Benjamine Nord watches Miss Zellner criticize his picture.

Miss Barnaby gives her students office procedure projects and also has them enter national and international contests. Students in Miss Robinson's cl.asses work for typing awards and take Gregg transcription speed tests. Miss Barnaby and Barbara Huber ex- amine the record book. 5133 Patriotifm Leads to Good English PATRIOTISM tends to lead to good English and to help stu- dents, through literature, to become acquainted with people of other times. Miss Baloyan, who helped to organize dramatics clubs in three local high schools this year, has her classes partici- pate in creative writing and visiting civic institutions.

Ottawa teaches Latin and French and has a Latin club called S.P.Q.R.', and a French club Les Amateurs Francais. In the Latin classes taught by Miss Katherine Smith, a wall panel was made illustrating the costumes of Roman men and women. A model Roman home was redecorated and refinished and two recordings of class work were made. In Miss Horn's French class culture points are given when a student visits art and furniture exhibits, French movies, opera and ballet, lectures about France and French Canada, or reads magazine articles, and biographies.

Because Ottawa's student body is patriotic and happy a large number of its members participate in the vocal and instrumental music classes. All the students in the junior High grades are re- quired to take vocal music. When they enter Senior High School they may join the glee clubs or choir, or play in the band or orchestra. H. A.

Most of the stu- dents, however, go on and take more, some even taking enough to have it count as a major. In the chemistry classes many special projects are done by active students. They are chemical posters, molecular models, atomic models, and other original projects that deal with chemistry.

It isthrough history we gain our knowledge of the early struggles for democracy and it is in government and Civics that we learn the principles of. it and how to appreciate it. A student is required to take one year of history and one semester of government to graduate. In the Junior High grades the pupils take geography as well as history and civics. Mr. Ludwick points out places on the map of Michigan to George Morris. These places are studied in Civics. William I.. Fuehrer, Ernest Giddings, A.B., A.M U. S. History B.E., L.L.B., Ph.B.

Nat'l Honor Society SENIORS WITHOUT PICTURES Harold Bostelaar Earl Cornelisse Gerrit Hoeksema Earl jackson Peezce Pipe Omfcen This Peace Pipe, which to the eye appears to be but a simple, carved piece of wood, has behind it a tradition, which has increased each year that this emblem has been handed down to the succeeding class. It not only symbolizes the achievements attained and the standards set in scholarship, ath- letics, and good will, but also embodies the senti- ments felt in the hearts of all the seniors under its influence. We, the senior class of 1941, feel we have upheld and furthered, to our greatest ability, the customs and ideals set forth in this Peace Pipe, and we now charge you, the senior class of 1942, to do your utmost to carry on to a higher degree the tradition we and our predecessors have established. This is the responsibility we place upon your shoulders. We sincerely hope and truly feel that you will do your best, and that you will demonstrate the char- acter, scholarship, leadership, and loyalty of which you are capable. - JOHN KETT i381 Peezce Pipe Acceptance It is a grave and serious responsibility that we assume when we accept this peace pipe, symbolizing the achievements of Ottawanians for over 15 years. These traditions have been well forwarded by this graduating class, and truly present a challenge to carry on in your footsteps. Benefiting by your splendid example, we shall continue to uphold the high standards of our school, so that, a year hence, we may be able to pass on this token, knowing that we have added to its prestige and honor. Ottawa will feel a loss in your parting, but we sin- cerely wish you success in any Helds that you may enter, and we hope that the chapters yet to come in your life will be written with the same vigor and character which you have displayed here. Thus it is with best wishes for the class of 1941, and a sincere resolve for the future of the class of 1942 that I accept this peace pipe on behalf of the Junior Class. -- REED ROBERTS HHH-CUHHHISSIUHED OFFICERS l n x x 51' X .

The interesting atmosphere of a session of history, brought about by the charts and wealth of pictorial material that Mr. Cook and students of former classes have collected, makes his classes extremely interesting. Many stu- dents look forward to history class, for history is made vivid by an interesting discussion with Clever stories and illustrations. FjI'.lf rouz' DI. Fduiato, F. Ed wards, T. Elferdink, J.

This year the senior English classes have studied Shake- speare, Milton, Carlyle, Pope, and other famous authors and poets. The classes have been unusually interesting because of group discussions and debates. The subjects of these class discussions arose from theo- ries of well-known writers, and the classes found that these old theories were also modern ideas. Firft rozrx' C. Swank, A. Sweet, D. Tausend.

Advancing to the front with sure and steady marching, the tenth battalion will soon take the positions that the eleventh division has left. All year they have worked, trained for the time when they would be the junior class, and later, seniors. That training for leadership, though it is begun long before reaching the tenth grade, is most important then. The democracy that today is a vital issue to every citizen is being developed in these classes, in round table discussions. with everyone taking part. From this training will come the governing forces of a world democracy such as we want. Fin! muff D, Ackerman, D. Addison, B. Allen, E. Alyea, M. Andresma, L. Annatoyn. Second row: D. Athouse, B.

Movies, lectures and reports help to stimulate interest--in scientific projects and give the students a chance toitlelve further into subjects that are of special' interest to them. Two projects, the Pond project and the classification of insect families, were suc- cessfully completed by the club as a whole this past year. The club maintains a supply of science magazines which may be used by anyone in the 'science department. , Social activities also hold a part in the club's program. Many very successful spreads were held throughout the year at the homes of various members which proved to be a pleasant way for the members to become acquainted.

There are many things to be considered by the faculty committee in selecting these stu- dents who are to be honored. First they must rank in the upper twenty-five per cent of their class scholastically. Leader- ship, character, and service to the school are held just as important as scholarship. These membershave proven themselves superior to their classmates in many ways and it is for this reason that We look up to them now as our leaders and wish thern success as the future leaders of our country.

Membership is open to all students having attained an A record in their first semester of work or to those receiving B grades in their first two semesters. French V pupils auto- matically become members. The yearly activities are numerous and varied, covering plays, puppet shows, movies, games and songs .all done in French.

E661 There is no better time than the present for students to learn to value the rights existing under democratic rule. It is this organization, The Student Council, made up of representa- tives from every class and organization in the school, which lays down the laws of our par- ticular school concerning the student body. It is at the meetings held every other Monday that problems of all sorts are brought up and discussed. The Council is very much interested in making the students more appreciative of the conditions of Government existing in America today. Throughout the year it has been responsible for keeping us aware of our duty to our flag by sending a member to at least one session room a day where the pledge to the Hag was given. The Student Council has patterned itself after our United States government. The Presi- dent has as his cabinet a group of line chairmen V: At the right are members of the Council who participated in a George Washington skit as a part of the Washington-Lincoln Day assembly program. of various committees. The chairmen of the committees are as follows: Social, Mary Ulrichg Handbook, Bob Landstra, Financial, David Potts, Welfare, Minerva Guerin and Stanley Fuehrerg and Activities, Bud Koranda. Every member on the Student Council is a member of at least one of the committees just mentioned, thus the organization can be operated more efficiently without burdening a few people. Our Council has been most active this year under the excellent sponsorship of Katherine Smith. A delegate, Stanley Fuehrer, was sent by the Student Council to the National Youth Red Cross Convention held at Washington. There have been many assemblies for your pleasure and education brought through the Council this past year, of which the most out- standing were the Washington-Lincoln Day program and the Exchange assembly. A new Indian Guide was edited by the'Handbook Committee with the aid of Miss Holmes and Mr. Buboltz.

U01 Senior Ziflr Continue just as there is a League of Nations so is there a League of Senior Girls. Last year Miss Seegmiller suggested a league to be formed to further friendship of the senior girls as a group. The league proved such an interest that this year the girls organized in the early fall again.

This year there are five instead of four groups each with its respective student leader and faculty advisor. Lois Burns and Miss Zimmer have charge of group lg Mary Mastenbrook and Miss Seeg- miller of group 2g Sue Allen and Miss Bader of group 3g Norma Heyer and Miss Tenhaaf of group -4g and Mary Zwald and Miss Baloyan of group 5. A group such as this one certainly helps the girls to become better acquainted and to en- hance the democratic feeling among them, Their Democratic Ways Once each month each group has a spread at a member's home. Ways of earning money are discussed. The groups contribute to a sum of 3550 which is given to an outstanding senior girl to help her continue her education. The girls have enjoyed giving bake sales, cake sales, rum- mage and paper sales, and other means of rais- ing money for this worthy cause. A tea is held the Thursday following the spreads in the English room. Each group has its turn being responsible for entertainment. The speakers talk on subjects that are of interest to young ladies. Among those who spoke were Dr. Masselink, who told about the world conditions of todayg Mrs, Folkman gave a very inspiring message on the attitude toward lifeg Miss Baloyan read a Christmas story at the Christmas tea.

Among the many places they were called to serve was the annual P. T. A. Dinner of Ottawa Hills, the Grand Rapids Business W0men's Club, the Womenls City Club at a Christmas Program, Immanuel Re- formed Church, the West Side Ladies, Literary Club, broadcasts over Station WLAV, All-City Vocal Concert at South High School, and Central Reformed Church. They also assisted at Graham C0ok's organ recital. They sang in the May Festival, and at the Armistice Day assembly at Ottawa. Their purpose is to seriously study choral works of superior quality. The members receive credit towards graduation. One senior student each june receives a silver cup as an award for superior characteristics of cooperation, musicianship, and achievement. On their way to sing at the Lenten Service at East Congregational Church U31 we see the choir members with vestments. 9 Members of the Girls' Glee Club are from left to right: Fint row: E.

Zreriir The citizens of America would be unhappy if the freedom of singing favorite patriotic songs of love and loyalty to their own country were forbidden. Anyone who has a desire to sing with others may be in these clubs. It is very necessary that the members are punctual and regular at their rehearsals. The pur- pose of the organizations is to provide opportunity for students to sing choral music. It is an activity preliminary to choral music. It is an activity preliminary to choir membership. They also sing in assemblies and school concerts. The members of the junior Girls' Glee Club receive a certificate for perfect attendance, and the boys receive an Indian Head Seal for the same. The Senior Mixed Glee Club members receive credit toward graduation. The May festival was a great inspiration to those who attended. The seventh grades gave the cantata, The Walrus and the Carpenter by Fletcher. The eighth grade sang the song Home, an arrangement of Largo from the New World Symphony by Dvorak. The Junior Boys' and Girls' Glee Clubs sang and so did the Senior Mixed Chorus. The beautiful concert ended with a combined choir of all the vocal organizations rendering The Heavens Resound by Beethoven. i751 Senior Band members are from left to right: Firfz row. D. Schied, W.

T761 Music plays a large part in the army of Ottawa students as well as the army of the United States. The Instrumental Department of Ottawa Hills is made up of several divisions, the Senior Orchestra, the Senior Band, the Junior Orchestra, the Junior Band, Beginning Classes, and Ensembles. Their commanding officer is Mr. Merwyn Mitchell. Each member of each division must have certain qualifications. He must have a liking for music and ability to play an instrument well! enough to profit by playing. , These divisions have a certain purpose and a certain ideal. It is: to learn about music as an art, from the listeners' viewpoint, as well as the Senior Orchestra members are, from left to right: Fifxrz ww: B. Hester, P. Cook, J. Stricklen. A. Gane, M.

The musical department has many oppor- tunities to put its talents on parade. They play for assemblies, concerts, festivals, march at football games, and ensembles and solos are prepared for small gatherings, and also for radio broadcast. Faithful practice and talent does not go un- rewarded. Band letters are sought after by every student.

The squad was eventually narrowed down to two teams, a first and second squad, composed of those boys who, in Coach Palmerls mind, possessed the willingness to engage in this sport whole-heartedly. After three weeks of practice, during which the recruits gained from experience and the teachings of their coach, the first trial of the team's ability was on September 21. Ottawa 27, East Grand Rapids 0 The opening game of the 1940 season resulted in the Ottawa team routing a light East Grand Rapids team to a toppling victory. The Pioneers fought hard, but in vain. Ottawa O, Creston 14 The Indians suffered their Hrst defeat at the hands of the Polar Bears. Scoring was made in the first half, with the Indians lacking the punch to win. Imlioidtml j1itft1re.r.'

City league results now showed that Ott.awa had won two, lost two, and tied one. Ottawa 135 Central 7 The last game of the 1940 season found a Central homecoming the victim of a smash- ing Ottawa victory. Ottawa's touchdowns were made in the first half, while Central succeeded in the last period. City league showed: three wins, two losses, and one tie. Therefore, out of a total of eight games played, Ottawa won four, lost three, and tied one. A season sparked by the outstand- ing play of Jack Grant, captain and all-city halfback, was finished, much to the regret of the graduating seniors. Grant will turn over his captain role to Bob Read, an outstanding tackle and chosen on the all-city second team. Coach Palmer, whose teams have always been rated .as outstanding, will find many prospects and letter winners returning for next year's campaign. Out of the second team's ranks the first team of later years is produced. Evidence has been uncovered showing that our teams to come will rate among the leaders by the spirit and all-around good play of the second team in the 1940 season. Although the gladi- ators of the second team do not receive any glory, they prove to the coach that they are playing football because they love the game, which is a very important factor in produc- ing a championship football team. The 1941 schedule looks like a tough sea- son up against good competition, but refer- ring to former years the Indians should rate with the best. Izzdividzmlr at ride: J. Hodson, J. Horn, J. Kett, B.

Wrestling if Top Rnmkmg The completion of the wrestling season of 1941 brought one state champion and four city champions into the Ottawa camp. Dan Decker took first honors in the 137-lb. class, while Ed Schnieder and Warren Townsend were second in their divisions. The city meet resulted in Ottawa taking four first place honors. Dinny Hams took his fourth city championship in as many years. His division this year was 130-lb. division. Schnieder, Townsend, and Decker placed first in the 112-, 122-, and 137-lb. classes respectively. This year's c.aptain and defending state champion, Ray Lang, suf- fered a defeat that was greater than the loss of a match. During prac- tice before the city meet, he broke two bones in his hand which kept him from defending his city championship and also depriving him the satisfaction of gaining more recognition at the state meet .at Michigan State College in East Lansing. Coach Palmer developed many good and promising wrestlers during the season that will carry the Ottawa banner on to victory in years to come. Union, defending city champions, was Ottawals first opponent, The result of this dual meet was a 23 to 23 tie. The next meet saw the State 'Champion East Detroit wrestlers hand Ottawa a 24 to 14 setback. The tribe then overwhelmed South to a score of 32 to 8. Again meeting Union, the Indians were defeated, 26 to 14. Ottawa placed several men on the winning list in an invitational East Detroit tourney, which was held Saturday afternoon and night, February 22, at East Detroit. Ray Lang took a HISY place in the 170-lb. class, Doug Sterns took second in the 137-lb. class, Dick Townsend w.as second in the 150-lb. division, and Ed Schnieder won third in the 112-lb. weight. Seventy boys from eight schools competed in this meet. Although Coach Palmer has always produced winning wrestling teams, he will undoubtedly find a difiicult task next season in filling the shoes of three graduating seniors. These boys, Ramon Lang, Dan Decker, and Dinny Hams, have counted considerably in the winning and placing of the Ottawa matmen.

The score was 40 to 26. ' Harold Botts, co-captain with Norman Krombeen, received recognition in city play by being placed on the all-city squad. Statistics of the past season show that Ottawa marked up 437 points to the opponents 445. Harold Botts was the high scorer with 118 points to his credit. Reynier made the greatest number of points during one game and also had the highest foul-shooting record. He made 17 points in the Creston game and maintained an average of 60 per centfrom the ever- important foul line. Coach Ludwick has produced many first rate teams during his era as basketball coach here at Ottawa. Although the past season was not by far the best, it did prove to be a fine, suc- cessful season for the boys who participated in the sport. The second team, under the supervision of Coach Koets, had its winning streak of thirty-three games broken by a defeat at the hands of Holland Christian. The reserves showed throughout the season that they would be capable of taking over the honors of first team next season. Paced by Allen, Martin, Horn, Montgomery, and Sluiter, the second team showed plenty of good spirit and teamwork. Good material is developed through the ranks of the reserve team. Without a reserve squad, the coach would find a difficult job in trying to develop new recruits into first-team material every season. The second team, therefore, is a very im- portant factor in developing the teams for city league races of future years. Individual pirlw'eJ'.' N. Krombeen, C. Reynier, A.

Two dual meets opened the season, the first with Kalamazoo Central and then with Union. Next was a triangular meet with Muskegon and Muskegon Heights at Muskegon. Coach Palmer planned to take some relay teams to the Central State Relays to be run at Mt. Pleasant. The last dual meet of the season was with Catholic Central at our home field. Next came the City and State meets. Many veterans returned along with a large number of first year track men. This year's season found consistent point winners in Atman, Gillette, Papke, Streby, and Van Kuiken, dashes, Bilderb.ack, Ernst, Okke, hurdles, and Lewis and Read in the field events. fS7fl , XF Gay Teezm Shows Abilezy his back- Tau- Lindhout are juniors.

T881 April fourth marked the initial meeting of the 1941 golf team, with fourteen boys turning out for tryouts, four of them succeeding in securing berths on the team. iCoach Ludwick was faced this year with picking a team to replace the three vacant positions that were filled last year by seniors that graduated. Although only one regular was returning to play this year, all four of the team have seen experience in team play. Harry Allen, a junior, saw service last year as number three man. He is the only returning regular from last season, but Bill Tausand, although he didn't play on the team last year, was a member of the team in 1939. Bill Lindhout and Claude Petchauer were members of last year's team, although they didn't play regu- larly. These four boys constitute a far from inexperienced squad, but will produce a good team next season as all but one of the members are juniors and will still have one more year of play with the team after the completion of the present season. W Tennis Teezm Shows Teelent Mr. Mitchell, the coach of the tennis team, had virtually all of the 1940 team back for service on this year's team. The only regular of last season who did not return to play was Tom Blackburn, long a steady player for the team. Returning for singles competition were a number of boys who saw action in that rank last season. Don Frans, last year's number one man, Ed Mack, Robert Hilarides, and George Evans. Don Frans played one and George Evans played number two man on this year's team. The crack doubles team of Carl Frans and john Oom also returned to increase the strength of the team in that division. Also playing doubles are the teams of Bill Coleman and Alex Martin and Bill Brown and Ed Mack, completing a good dependable list to carry the banner for the Ottawa Indians. Mr. Mitchell has produced many winning teams during his commission as coach of the tennis team. Many players to receive statewide recognition have been taken from the ranks of the Ottawa Hills Tennis Team. Feminine Sporty March On Ottawa came back to par this year and emerged victorious over the enemy again at the junior College Volleyball Tour- nament.

Lewa I5 Governing Body This year, more than ever, the feminine branch of our maneuvers, Lewa Club, has been in the limelight. They have become the military staff, or managers of our Girls' Athletic Association. Although there was no Girls' Meet this year, a great deal of the girls' time was occupied in helping Miss Ellinger fwho is' incidentally, their sponsor nowj get settled here. Other things that kept them on the march were bowling, bicycle hikes, toboggan parties, and spreads. Any girl who has maintained a C average in studies, and has earned her athletic numerals is eligible for membership in Lewa. Girly Pei aim Viiifioiif Activities just as an army has a wide variety of duties to perform, so have the girls of Ottaw.a where sports are concerned. Ottawa has always held a high place in athletics, and our girls are no exception. The members of the Archery Club, of which a good percentage are girls, are fast becoming expert at .a difficult sport. As for the old favorites, soft- ball and badminton, we have many participants who may be classed as veteran soldiers. This year, for the first time, junior high girls were rewarded for their efforts in sports. It went over big with the girls, and will undoubtedly be made a permanent part of the athletic program. Top: Mary McDonald and Mary Ellen Gill are two of our outstanding badminton players. Second: Archery Club members pictured are: R. Runnels, P. Rathbone, B. Vander Veen, T. Rahill, G. Hersman, B. Kurtz, M. Ornee, and B. Janis. Third: Here we see a group of girls engaged in a fierce battle of softball. These girls are very proud of the athletic awards Miss Ellinger is presenting them.

There were various types of activities in the gym classes this year, among them duck pin bowling, dancing, indoor, and the ever- popular volleyball, which was taken up this year on a really scientific basis. This year saw for the first time in quite a while a change in teachers in the girls' athletic department. Although we regretted seeing Miss Sheehan go, Miss Ellinger is doing .a most satisfactory job of taking over the general's post, and has already, be- cause of her willingness to cooperate in all things, and her genial nature become a big favorite with the girls.

Seniom Show United piffif Few students, when they returned to school in September, realized what fun was in store for them during the future school year. After the election of its officers, the Senior class became very busy holding meetings and pl.anning activities that would be enthusiastically received by the students and faculty alike. First there was the Senior Mixer, held in the boys, gym, with the pur- pose of promoting friendship and unity among the seniors. This was followed by a dance called the Drumstick Drag, spon- sored by them during the festive Thanksgiving season. Along with the fear of foreign difficulties, a deep sense of patriotism pervaded the school classrooms, and perhaps it was this feeling of uniformity and equality that caused the Senior Class to turn from tradition and choose to graduate in the uni- form caps and gowns. At any rate, the school year passed swiftly and happily leaving the sole regret that time could not be length- ened in order to crowd in more pleasures. C931 The seniors were well satisfied with their class ring shown here on Bud Korandals hand. 3 FALL FESTIVAL Aa October Attraction Premitea' Aririaalbf By Ottawa Bariaf fi??gu?,,'a 'A Milton Sharp, Don Boyd, Harry Palmer, Red Grant, Don Rutstein, Ruth VVilliams, Reed ARoberts, Betty Schnel, Chuck Reynier, and Gerry Erhardt are all at the festival having a good time. Many Clabr Participate Much of the credit for the success of the annual Fall Festival, held October second and third, for the benefit of the school band, was due to the fine cooperation of the various school clubs and organizations. In- deed, the true Ottawa loyalty and patriotism showed itself at that time. In addition to the many booths and con- cessions set up and run by the student mem- bers of the clubs, the band, under the direc- tion of Mri Mitchell, hired a carnival com- pany which provided such amuse-ments as a ferris wheel, merry-go-round, and the very popular loop-o-plane. The designs on the tents and the Indian head above the night club were done by Miss Crego's art classes. One of the biggest events of the festival was the Mimes Western Night Club. The senior class sponsored the pony rideg the sophomores made and sold recordsg while the freshmen had a booth where they sold hot dogs and coffee. With its usual spirit of all for one and one for all, Ottawa turned out in full force for this successful event. Spencer Morton was the master of ceremonies in the night club at the festival and Ruth Parks was featured. Working at the booths selling candy, hot dogs, pop, andlchances was an experience many will never forget. I94I The ferris wheel was one of the more popular ainusements for everyone. Here we see some band members. Phyllis Truckle and Doris Darling were two of the many who received B. thrill- ing ride on the loop-o-plane. Dave East, Dan Hill, Bill Burger, and Russ Dooge are four of the outstanding cheerleaders who lead the fans in yells at football games. Fall Acfivitief With the beginning of Autumn the reg- ular routine of school was interrupted by thoughts of the coming sports and activities. In collaberation with the football season the group of cheerleaders under the guid- ance of Miss Baloyan, conceived new ideas for pep yells and rallies. This year's team of eight consisted of Russell Dooge, Earl Burger, Dan Hill, Dave East, Forest Fowler, Dick Tennis, George Hersman, and Roger Ryskarnp. On almost any pleasant fall day one could see the agile drum majorettes strutting their stuff at the head of the band out on the school grounds. The drum majorettes who so deserved the compliments paid them were Arlene Luikes, Marilyn Hoel, Anna- belle Lawson, jean Schneider, and Betty Marchant. Horseback riding, one of the favorite out- door sports of this season, was indulged in by a considerable number gf equestriennes under the auspices of the Riding Club. Arlene Luikes, Marilyn Hoel, and Annabelle Lawson were only three out of tive very capable girls who led the band in marching and directing the fans in the singing of football songs. i951 Mia-Iii Riding this year has been one of the greatest sports for Billy Brunson, Pat Wilmartli, and Barbara Sailors. Dorothy Dilley is riding Mike, one of Miller's favor- ite horses. .5 Bruce Vinkemulder, Bob Landstra, and Bob Hilarides are three ofthe six debaters who took part in the state tournament. Putting their suitcases in the compartment of the bus before leaving on their trip, are Lilian Peterson, Pat Wilmarth, Barb Sailors, and Norma Heyer. Here four of the girls are seated in the lounge at the Hotel Cleveland where they stayed during the convention. Tap row, left lo Viglilf L. Koranda, B. Vinkemulder, B. Jensen, B. Landstra, B.

Mr. Giddings, the sponsor of this organization, coached these students in some really fine debates, and in the tourna- ment held at junior College, in which twelve schools participated, Ottawa won two out of their four debates. Dave Potts, LeRoy Koranda, Bob Hilarides, Bob Landstra, Bruce Vinkemulder, and Portia Fox were the representa- tives at junior College for this tournament. Nation-wide conventions for school students are annually becoming more popular as they provide an unequalled opportunity for the students from one section of the country to become acquainted and friendly with those of another, resulting in a closer bond among the many sections and states of our country. One of the biggest conventions this year was the National Scholastic Press Association convention held in Cleveland, Ohio. Norma Heyer and Lilian Peterson were representa- tives for the Legend. Pat Wilm.arth, Barbara Sailors, and Kathryn Gregory were the representatives for the Spectator. i961 Dave Potts as Romeo and Barb Hatch as Juliet seem to be having a little trouble in succeeding in their balcony scene. Review Shower Hemi Week emei Teelem' Ottawa's streamlined version of that old classic, William Shakespeare's Romeo and Julietf' was rechristened, Romey Owed What Juliet Et, brought up to the minute in style, and presented the memorable evening of January 24 by the Class of '41. Ottawa's own Orson Wells, more popularly known as Dave Potts, played the role of author, director, and star, of this first Qand onlyJ night production. Barbara Hatch, turning in an unforgettable performance as red-headed Juliet, was able to keep her cool composure even while perched atop a decidedly flimsy balconyf?J. The cast, including everyone, consisted of about thirty members in all. Sue Allen, Dick Ernst, Barb Schmidt, and Lud Daniels were running around the stage a good share of the time trying to make love, but rather unsuccessfully. The supporting cast, who provided a good share of the many laughs, and the entertainers, backed by Curt Bunt- ingls band, were heard for many days taking liberties with Nathan Hale's famous remark, Ah, my only regret is that I have but one set of nerves to give for my 'Senior Review'. T971 One feature at the Senior Review was the three Drummer Boy singers, Beth Hester, Pat Krause, and Lois Burns. Curt Bunting and his band provided the musical background for the senior review. The authors of the review were Bud Koranda, John Ward, and Dick Ernst who should get a big hand for their work. zmiom Complete Succefffu! mr The Junior Class have cer- tainly lived up to their nick- name of jolly juniors, for into this past year they have crammed a great deal of fun and activities, much of which was due to fine cooperation of their class officers, Warren Davenport, president, Yvonne Behler, vice-presi- dent, Patricia Rathbone, sec- retary, and Theodore Elfer- dink, treasurer.

Prom Colon me With a huge flag overhead, red-white-and-blue favors, and silhouettes of George and Martha Washington on the walls, this year's junior- Senior Prom inspired a sense of loyalty, not only for school but for country also. In addition to one of the largest crowds ever present at an Ottawa prom, there were many out-of-town guests and alumni who attended also. K F at i . Standing in the receiving line to greet Lud Daniels and Pat Lawrence are Mr. Giddings, Dave Potts, Dorothy Snider, Pat Coryell, and Warren Davenport. Leaders of the grand march are the officers of the Junior and Senior Classes and their guests.

The other class hasn't turned in enough copy yet, worries the news editor. iiWe haven't enough .advertising for this issue,'l complains Shirley Smith, advertising manager. In that case I would suggest get- ting some and quick, continues the adviser. i'You accepted a responsibility to get a good magazine out orz lime. That's all, now get to work. The two Spectator classes did get to work, and not once this past year did the Spectator come out late. Following the example of the journalism students, the annual publication staff studied hard the Hrst few weeks and concentrated solely on putting out the Legend for the next few. This book, with its patriotic theme, being the result. Assemblies Feature Red, White and Blue Assemblies Spotlight Paztriotifm Ottawa has been very fortunate in having some excellent assemblies through- out the school year of 1940 and 1941. At one time or another, almost all stu- dents and teachers have participated in one or more assemblies and consequently appreciate the amount of work connected with putting on each one. However, it is gratifying to the participants to know that the performance in which they take part is enjoyed by the student body. Through the cooperation of the Stu- dent Council, Newton Dilly was able to preside over many of our assemblies, and acted as Master of Ceremonies in the exchange assemblies, which were pre- sented at the various schools in the city. Throughout the football season weekly pep assemblies were conducted with the purpose of inspiring interest in the forth- coming games. One of that sort which met with great approval by the students was one given by the Cordelier Club in which a mock trial was held to determine whether or not Ottawa possessed enough school spirit and loyalty. QFinal verdict- affirmativej Other popular assemblies were the Chicago Philharmonic Quartet and the Senior Play assembly. Mr. Frank Sparks was one of the speakers at the Washing- ton-Lincoln Day assembly. Mr. Shillinger, speaking at the Honor Society assembly.
