KIN G...A DVI S E R 1 J I The first, the basic objective of all education has been in ages past, and will be in ages to come, the attainment of factual knowledge. The door to the class- room is the door to all learning, all culture the door to the essentials of successful living. In cognizance of this fact, we devote the first division of the 1939 Argus Annual to the SCHOLASTIC SIDL. Mere knowledge is but one requisite of a well-rounded life. Of hardly less import is an appreciation of the beautiful—an appreciation of music, drama, art, good literature—of all things which help make life a finer, richer experience. In appreciation of the opportunities for cultural advancement given us. the students of today, we devote the second division to the CULTURAL SIDE. A sound mind in a sound body’ is a short but full description of youth well- endowed. Serving as a means to the attainment of both these ends is the physical development program of the modern high school. Aware of the important role which athletics play in school life—and of their benefits—we devote the third division to the PHYSICAL SIDE. K. Hilliard and R.

McElroy, Walter McLain EEoaxd oj- Education The Board of Education, composed of seven of Ottumwa's prominent citizens and business men. has full charge of the Ottumwa Public School System. The Board has the authority to manage all the finances of the district, elect teachers, provide supplies, purchase sites and build schools, hire custodians and all persons necessary in running and caring for the schools and make all the rules and regulations it deems necessary. Its members are Mr. Frank Raney, president; Mr. C. C. Lowenberg, vice- president; Mr. C. D. Evans, Mr. Walter McElroy, Mr. John Worrnhoudt, Mr. Ernest Manns and Mr. Eugene Wulfekuhler. The Board has made no major changes in the high school this year. Their greatest achievement was in connection with the grade schools, in bringing to the voters of Ot- tumwa, the opportunity to vote favorably for two new school buildings. One is to replace the old Agassiz school, the other to supplement the Lin- coln school. The first recorded meeting of the electors of the Ottumwa School District was held in the Court House in 1858. In the following year the first organized school board was elected. Our school system has progressed far since that year when those electors met. We have now a system of thirteen fine grade schools and a splendid high school. The at- tendance in these public schools is over six thousand. The annual ex- penditures of the system amount to more than a half million dollars. Much credit is due these seven Ottumwa citizens for their capable and con- scientious work in the interest of education. Page Should you wonder how fourteen hundred students and another half hundred teachers can work with smooth precision under one roof, the answer is the room to the right of the main entrance. Here, under the direction of the principal and assistant principal, is the staff comprised of Bertha Potter, clerk, and Evelyn Eaton, registrar. The day begins each morning when all teachers report before going to their rooms. Tardy students get their excuses here. Absences are reported and check- ed by Miss King. A switchboard connects the office with each one of the rooms to permit the calling of pupils from class rooms and the giving of messages. For the use of the teachers are a mimeograph and ditto machine to print test questions and other materials. On the side wall is a mail box for each teacher's personal use. At the end of the day we find the office no less popular. In the room are pupils who. reluctant to leave school, spend an extra hour on one of the chairs, gazing at the office walls with a somewhat placid expression.

It aims to teach coopera- tion. to make the student more self directing, to give him opportunity for developing leadership and initiative and to introduce him to democracy. This council consists of five members from the Senior Class, five from the Junior Class, three from the Sophomore, and one from the Freshman. These are elected each year by their respective classes. They must main- tain an average of B with not more than one C for the previous semester. They sponsor the Noon Movies. Lost and Found and Clubroom. Each period they inspect the halls, checking the reserves. The president pre- sides at pep assemblies and conducts the student court. Miss Rose Miller is the faculty adviser. 1— Q 90 L I U - 1 0 ■ (1 t ) 0 Pack II Row I -John McCarty, Bob Lowry, Joel McVey, Kenneth Corbett, Dick Carroll, John Hansel, Jean Coleman, Elsie Bristow, Virginia LaPoint, Betty LaPoint, Shirley Brody, Sybil Dockstader, Betty James.

Approximately two hundred meals are served each noon in the High School cafeteria. Mrs. Thompson, who is in charge, is assisted by Mrs. BottorfT and several students. They give their services to provide varied, wholesome and inexpensive meals to both students and teachers who for various reasons do not go home. Outside of school hours, the cafeteria is often used for school parties and dinners. The cafeteria, one of the out- standing features of the school, is run on a non-profit basis. A scrap of paper, carelessly thrown aside one day, will not be seen the next, for maintaining the clean and attractive appearance of the Ottumwa High School is one of the duties of the engineering force. Between the hour that school closes and the hour it opens the following morning, a great change takes place in both halls and rooms. Summer and winter repairs and all things dealing with the upkeep of our beautiful building and grounds are the results of the work done by this group. snlozi As a tribute to her four years of conscientious effort in behalf of the Senior Class, the Argus Annual dedicates this page to Miss Marie Schick, adviser to the class of ’39. President—Harold Lind Vice President—VIax Swaim Secretary—Wilma Shumaker Treasurer—Charles I.odwick At last! We are on the home stretch nearing our goal. But, as this, the first lap nears its finish—we realize that after a short breathing spell, the race will continue into our diverging destinies of the future. In school acti- vities our class has been well represented in every field. Some of our members have been outstanding in the vari- ous fields of endeavor. Our boys have had a share in bringing the state football championship to Ottumwa. Three of our members have won recognition in state-wide competition. Ludora Lindman won a superior rating in the contralto solo division at Iowa City last spring and qualifies for the national contest. Ruth Smith is the Iowa Women's Golf Champion. Jack Barber placed in the State Young Republican's Oratorical Contest. We would not forget that our attainments have been under the guid- ance of our adviser, Vliss Marie Schick. To her we can only say a heartfelt thank-you’ in appreciation of her fine work. 'Pep and loyalty we combine We're the class of'39.'' I Pack 23 {ZJfl£L Pojl utar 'i For the most {popular senior girl the student body elected Roberta Hilliard. Bobby as she is commonly known, came to our school from Fairfield, but she soon made her place here. She ac- quired the position of Humor Editor on the News, which she managed quite suc- cessfully. She became a member of Shark Club and took part in pageants sponsored by the Club. Bobby made friends easily. She well deserves the honor bestowed upon her. Norma Rhoads Eudora Lindman Marguerite Johnston Bette Ellen Jones ROBERTA HILLIARD A secret desire of every student is to be liked by his fellow students. With some this is a natural gift, but with others it is an achievement. By the time stu- dents are seniors, there are those in the class who because of their services and personalities have become popular with a large part of the student body. The selection of the two outstanding indivi- duals in the Senior Class is a matter of interest to every student, and recogniz- ing that fact, the Argus Annual sponsors each year the Senior Popularity Contest. Members of the Annual Staff super- vise the election in each advisory group, the entire student body serving as the electorate. The results of the contest are not revealed until the Argus is pre- sented—thus augmenting interest in both the Annual and in the contest. Page 2-1 The student body named Joe Celania as its choice for the most popular senior boy. Joe displayed his football ability last season by helping our team win the state championship. He won a place on the Iowa Daily Press Association’s first team. Joe played basketball also and he did well. However, his talents were not limited to sports. He has been a member of the mixed chorus for several semesters. He sang a solo in the Christ- mas pageant and was popularly acclaim- ed by the student body. JOE CELANIA Max Swaim Jack Barber Francis Taylor Harold Lind The list of runners-up in the popu- larity contest includes outstanding sen- ior students. Max Swaim won a place on the All-State football team. Jack Barber served as president of the Student Council and appeared in various Dra- matic Club plays. Francis Taylors passing ability on the football team was widely praised. Harold Lind was adept in basketball and was elected president of the Senior Class. Norma Rhoads showed great skill in Dramatic Club plays. Marguerite Johnston was the student body’s choice for the Homecom- ing Queen last fall. Ludora Lindman. who thrilled audiences by her singing in the Christmas pageant, won a superior rating in the state contest. Bette Ellen Jones as co-editor of the Argus News gave the student body an interesting newspaper every other week. Thus, the student body honors this group of eminent students. Page 25 Maxine Adams G.

Miller Life is real, life is earnest, and the dignified Juniors stalk majestically about the halls. For two long years, this class has toiled along the weary road to knowledge. It seemed almost incredible that some day one might be a Junior, soon to be looking forward to graduation. Most of the class now have covered that ground and find them- selves in that once revered category. Gone are the mys- teries and illusions of life. They have long passed the more juvenile stages of lower classmen—theirs is an ex- perience that has tasted of bigger things. Inspired by talented leaders, in the form of their class officers, the Juniors have risen to great heights this year, heartily sup- porting their many activities. Much credit is due also to Miss Charlotte Miller, their competent adviser, who has aided them in carrying out all their projects. The class can now look back over the trodden path to see others plodding along in their footsteps eventually to reach that hallowed stage that of a Junior.

[ Page 49 President—Joe Canny Vice President—Teed White Secretary—Buddy Kemble Treasurer Tommy Van Ness Class Adviser- Miss Ver Hell In the center of the great desert of Education we find the Sophomore Class. Despite the difficulties of the des- ert. these young students seem to be surviving astounding- ly well. Although they have passed the Freshman mile- stone. lying before them are the miles of the Junior and Senior years in which are the goals set by previous classes. We feel that this group of students will easily and efficient- ly tread the hot sands before them. They are proving to be a prospective, self-confident, reliable, and competent class. All things and many more are in store for him who takes advantage of the opportunities presented. ' When this class entered the high school as Freshmen, we thought them to be just another class of students, but as Sophomores they are proving to be an outstanding group. They have all shown a great interest in different fields; some in Dramatics, others in lVlusic, Debate, Football, Basketball and other extra-curricular activities. The ad- viser of this class is Elizabeth Ver Fleul. She has proved herself a most capable and conscientious leader. Pep and grades and lots of fun We’re the Class of '41. Page 5.

I AGE 53 President Harvey Ware Vice President—Paul Ream Secretary—Wanda Shi elds Treasurer—Alice Mae Sheldon Adviser MissCreswell Today s Freshmen, the Seniors of tomorrow, rapidly fill the vacancies left by upper classmen. In the class- room. on the athletic field, in dramatics, music and clubs this youngest fourth of our school quickly comes into prominence. Perhaps a little awed at first, they soon gain confidence. Before the Freshmen lie four years of happy, promising and fruitful high school life. There will be disappointments and set-backs, but these can and must be taken in stride, as those of the upper classmen have been. There have been many who have lost their foot- ing. floundered and failed, but there also have been many who have kept a steady pace and reached their goal. It is the choice of each individual Freshman whether he will come out at the top or at the bottom. To these fellow students the torch of our Ottumwa High School, the torch of success, comradeship and loyalty, is handed down. It is their duty to keep it burning brightly, undimmed by failure and strife. On graduation day, may they look back upon four years of tasks well performed, duties ac- complished and happiness found.

Q f Q _ i i I i i I I u To be eligible for Torch Club a student must be in the last half of his junior or his senior year. His scholastic average must be 85 per cent or above to be considered. He must have been out- standing in various outside activities during his high school career. While membership in this club is obtained by the merit system, points alone do not serve as sufficient evidence to make one eligi- ble. The student should ever remember that character, person- ality, leadership, service and scholarship are also important. Page 6 jSoCLztLJ The goal of perhaps every student throughout his years in high school is to be elected to Torch Club, the highest honor which can be conferred upon him. The emblems of Torch Club, a flaming torch and a keystone bearing the letters S. L. C. S.. are symbolic of the four cardinal principles upon w hich the organization is founded: scholarship, leadership, character and service. A student chosen must show his ability to be a leader in school activities as well as in the classroom. He must show himself to be reliable in his relationships with teachers and students alike, and must be willing to cooperate in any school event. We sincerely hope that in the years to come their principles will always be as high as these. May their torch ever burn steadily and brightly!

May you feel that it is a book to be long cherished. We, the members of the staff, have tried to the best of our ability to make this year's Annual surpass any we have published in the past. Confidentially, we be- lieve that we have done so. Perhaps the one person most responsible for our suc- cess is Miss King, our adviser, whose efforts have made this Annual what it is to- day. Much credit is due also to Miss Enoch for her criticisms and corrections, and to any number of others whose cooperation has made possible the publication of this book. We have aspired to give you a yearbook of the students, by the stu- dents. and for the students. We have tried to give you something original and enjoyable in every section. How well we have succeeded is for you to determine as you behold the finished product. Staff Row I—Don Sauer, Dick Funk, Stephen Stoltz, Bob Peterson. Hall Koontz.

Ochs Jack Andkrson Bette Ellyn Jones Erma Dickey Adviser Co-Editor Co-Editor Managing Editor The Argus News Staff, composed of students interested in journal- ism and newspaper work, is in charge of two very important publica- tions The Argus News and The Argus Daily. The Argus Daily is a bulletin which is distributed to each advisory group. It is a very nec- essary part of the school program because it consists of the notices and news of the day. The Argus News is the school newspaper published semi-monthly. It contains all the news of school activities such as sports, society and entertainments. The paper also has a feature section, an advertising section and editorials. This year the Argus has a new front page feature entitled An O. H. S. Star Shines. In each issue a write-up of an outstanding student appears. Another special feature is the “Question Box. In this column are printed the answers, given by various students, to a question which has been asked. The creed of the Argus News is: The Argus is more than a newspaper. It is an educational experiment. It is published to give its staff mem- bers experience. Miss Ochs is the faculty adviser of the Arguseers. A bulletin board, on w hich is posted the current news, is also maintained by the staff members. Pace 71 Row I —Earl Scaburg, Frank Douma, Hal Beck. John Williams. Dick Punk. Charles Lodwick.

Under the capable direction of Miss Stover, it produces three or four plays annually and helps to pre- sent the Christmas Pageant. Each semester tryouts for membership are held. Any student interested may try out by giving a pantomime and a short character sketch. The members of Players' Club judge these tryouts and those who have shown themselves most capable are selected to become members of Dramatic Club. Students must have a scholastic average of eighty-five per cent if they wish to re- main in the club. Members must also make ten points a year towards Players’ Club. To obtain this goal, students are required to earn a total of seventy-five points by taking part in plays, serving on crews, and selling tickets. The officers of the Dramatic Club are: President, Martha Jane Kemble; Vice President, Wilma Starr; Secretary, Norma Rhoads; Treasurer, Phyllis Sherwood. U xarnatici Page 7 Row I—Jack Anderson.

Its purpose is to give recognition for out- standing ability and accomplishments in acting or producing a play. It offers a challenge to every earnest dramatic enthusiast. The membership is small due to the fact that it is not a simple task to earn the requisite seventy-five points. These points may be obtained by taking part in a play, by working on a crew, by selling tickets, by serving as a student director and by performing various other similar duties. However, the points are not simply handed out. For example, only one point is given for every three tickets sold. One must work diligently and with results to receive credit for these efforts. Because of this, Players' Club is a diffi- cult goal to attain; but by keeping the standards high it is assured that only those worthy of the honor can become members.

L± u d(JE± The first Dramatic Club production of the year was a three act comedy entitled Remember the Day. The play opened with a prologue and closed with an epilogue, both of which took place in the present time, but the action of the play itself carried you back twenty-five years or more. The plot centered around a thirteen year old school boy who fell in love with his teacher. Two school scenes, pre-war costumes and a cast of twenty characters helped to make the play interesting and appealing. Second Dramatic Club production of the year was The Bishop Mis- behaves, a three-act play by Fredrick Jackson. A captivating old Eng- lish bishop addicted to detective stories was the erring ecclesiastic, whose battle of wits with a gang of flcsh-and-blood bandits furnished one of the most intriguing and amusing plays given in the O. FI. S. auditorium for many a day. A competent cast was headed by Jack Barber in the title role, ably supported by Dale Crone. Shirley Rich, and others equally capable. [ U r 1 [ f [ 1 H t I I v. L I Page 7- anizationd ‘Deciam” probably does more to develop one’s personality and ease before an audience than any other activity in high school. The boys and girls enthusiastically support their respective contests which are held an- nually. Intra-mural contests are held to determine who shall represent the school in the Iowa Nine. This work develops many of our good speak- ers of tomorrow and gives invaluable training in stage poise. Miss Stover promotes “declam” and much credit should be given her for her splendid work. The Debate Club is an excellent place to learn the art of persuasion or good salesmanship. It tends to break down that wall of fear which many students have built up against debate. It has made possible a de- bate program which consists of ten times as much debating and reaches ten times as many students as that of fifteen years ago. Mr Hamley. the sponsor of the club, directs the students through a year well rounded w ith tournaments, study groups, social meetings and debate conference trips. Row 1 Dale Crone. Jack Barber.

AGE 75 mia jDan The High School Band was formed to give the students an education in music and to give service to the school. Their principal aim is to play good music in a creditable manner and to entertain both the students taking part and the audience by their playing and marching. With- out the band the football games, basket- ball games, pep chapels and meets would seem like bread without butter. Mr. Cleveland Dayton, director of the band, spends both time and effort with the tal- ented students in order that they might be able to express themselves more clear- ly and fully. This year they entered both marching and concert band contests. CLEVELAND DAYTON Row I—Boh Reifsnyder. Elaine Vaughn, Eudora Lindman. Mary Mullenax. Shirley Rich. Jean Nelson.

The orchestra gives its service to the school many times during the year. It offers entertainment at the Dramatic Club plays. Christmas pageant and other school programs. In the organization are several small groups. These groups, besides playing often for their school, play before a number of so- cial and church audiences in the city. Each spring the orchestra, soloists and small groups represent our school in the annual music contest. w. E. SCOTT Row I Keith King. Dors Britos. I la Bcnn. Mary English. Alda Tullis. Patricia Nally.

The Girls’ Trio is one of several select groups chosen each year from the more talented members of the music department. This year we are fortunate enough to have two such trios. The well blended voices of the girls are marked by the ability to put themselves across in many differ- ent types of songs. The gratifying results and the approval and appre- ciation of their audiences have brought the trios many invitations to take part in special programs both in school and in the community. From the Mixed Chorus Miss Aas selects small vocal groups, one of which is the Girls' Sextette. The girls meet twice each week outside of school hours and practice on the lovely numbers which so many of us have had the pleasure of hearing at various social gatherings as well as at our assemblies. The girls have an enjoyable time informally together and at the same time gain an appreciation and a knowledge of fine music. I U [ 1 ( f ( 1 1 0 t Vi I I V I ] I Page d anizationi For a number of years much attention has been given to the Boys' Quartet of the Ottumwa High School. This group, under the direction of Miss Aas, presents a variety of songs in its repertoire. In tryouts held each fall the members arc chosen from among those having the best male voices. Besides giving their services to many school functions, they en- tertain on a number of programs throughout the city. They also bring distinction to the high school by participating in the annual music contest. The largest vocal group in high school is the Mixed Chorus, which is composed of the best voices in the school. Usually taken from the begin- ning music classes, the voices arc chosen so that they form a perfectly blended unit. Under the direction of Miss Aas. head of the music de- partment, the Mixed Chorus will present an operetta: two concerts, one with the instrumental department and one by the chorus alone: and to- gether with the Dramatic Club, w ill present the Christmas Pageant. The chorus also enters the music contest. Don Kjellstrand. Don W. Johnson. Charles Clift. James Milcy. Eloise Downing. R°w I Stephenson. Starr. Burtch. Simons. Cummings. Bartlett. Burton. Odenbaugh.

Page 79 This year's HiY is composed of forty-five members, nineteen of whom were inducted during the first semester of the school year. This group, however small, constitutes one of the most active organizations in the school. Perhaps their largest undertaking this year was the sponsoring, for the second time, of the annual Homecoming. When a boy becomes a member, like the others in the club, he pledges himself to create, main- tain, and extend throughout the school and community, high standards of Christian character.” Hi-Tri was organized to extend to each High School girl, regardless of race, creed, or color, an equal opportunity for membership in a club that will develop a well rounded personality and that will make a better citizen in the community, state and nation. Their only source of income is the money earned by selling at the games. There arc no dues. Miss Daniels is their faculty leader, although the girls themselves do the planning for all the parties, meetings, athletic meets and projects they undertake. Row I—Stephen Stoltz. Don Randall.

The club, organized upon the plan of the Roman govern- ment. strives to further the knowledge and appreciation of Roman life, people and customs. The meetings, conducted in Roman style, present to the Latin student a more vivid picture which, besides furnishing him entertainment, helps him in the classroom. The Latin instructors. Miss Nye and Miss Ver HeuI as co-advisers, do excellent work in making and keeping Latin Club what it is. Ottumwa High School's Spanish Club has a rather unusual aim—simply to have fun. Anyone passing in Spanish is eligible for membership. Former Spanish students are w elcome. The club meets once a month at the homes of various mem- bers. It is always interested in having people talk about their travels in Spanish speaking countries. Mr. Hamley is the sponsor of the club.

I his newly formed social organiza- tion aims to provide its members with interesting entertainment while imbuing them with a desire to learn more of the musical language of the I-rench people. I he club is open to any French student. Its appeal is enhanced by the fact that a number of its members are corresponding with boys and girls of France. The President of Le Cercle I 'rancais'' is Helen Louise Clark. How many times have you noticed the beautiful pictures about the building. I hey are the result of the constant efforts of the art club. Its purpose is to develop better understanding and greater appreciation of the various arts. Business meetings are held once each month and various social parties are held throughout the year. As a project this year the club plans to rotate the pictures in the rooms for the benefit of those students who enjoy art. Miss Daniels is the club sponsor. Pace 8: The Poultry Club with Mr. Troeger as the leader, is a part of the Agriculture Program sponsored by the Ottumwa High School. Its main objective is to teach its members the most desirable breed of fowls to raise, and to gain the greatest profit therefrom. By experimentation and co- operation of its members and outside breeders, the industry is thus ad- vanced. Any high school student who is willing to carry on a project according to the rules of the club is eligible for membership. The Printing Club of the Ottumwa 1 ligh School is under the super- vision of Mr. Webert. The club is composed of members of the printing classes who have had at least one semester of printing. The aim of this group of boys is to create a greater interest in printing. The club prints the Argus News, bulletins, programs and other school material. An excellent point system is used in the club; the honors of Apprentice. Jour- neyman. and Printer being awarded w hen specified numbers of points are obtained. Row I—Duane Stuhr, Elmer Kinsingcr.

Page 83 The Home Economics Club was formed to further interest in the home and school; to practice the niceties of home life, to develop social poise and to develop the ability and graciousness of becoming a good hostess. Any girl who is taking some Home Making subject and main- tains a B in that subject may belong. Among the many things the girls learn are to serve refreshments, to greet friends, to mix with others, to promote programs and carry on business meetings. Miss Clare Kasischkc is a most able leader. The aim of the Normal Training Club is both social and educational. Its main purpose is to aid girls in preparing themselves for the work of teaching others. Through the activities of the club, the members are given an opportunity to form friendships, build character and obtain ex- perienced advice. Meetings are held once a month and plans are organ- ized for carrying out their various programs. One of the features of the club is an annual tea at which the mothers of the girls are the guests of honor. Row I. Skated—B. Burkhaltcr. B. Daggett. B. MacKenzie. T. Martin. M. Monroe. P. Lcedom. A.

KALTENBACH Over the past three years Head Coach Don Newell has proved himself worthy of the difficult position which is his. Ottumwa teams, organized under his guid- ance, have this year lived up to his fondest hopes. Our All State football team is ample proof of the fact. Coach Newell is an Iowa boy. He attended school at Iowa Wesleyan College. A major letter winner for four years, he was capable of gaining letters in football, basketball, and track. He was also active in campus and social life. Coach Newell came to us from Eddyville where he had coached for a year. H. Eugene Lister has had control of the Ottumwa Ereshman-Sophomorc teams for the past year. It is he who patiently works with the inexperienced boys, finds the diamonds in the rough and passes them on to Coach Newell to be polished. Like Newell. Mr. Lister is an Iowa boy. He attended college at Monmouth, Illinois, received a major letter in football and earned his Master of Arts Degree in Education. Mr. Lister came to Ottumwa from Monmouth High School, Illinois. Erwin J. Kaltenbach is the latest addition to the Ottumwa High School coaching staff. The assistant of Mr. Newell, Mr. Kaltenbach works with the line during football season and coaches the second team during basketball season. While in high school Mr. Kaltenbach was for one year an All State basketball player. He graduated from Iowa State Teachers College and received his Master s Degree from the State University. He came to us from Melbourne, Iowa, where he had been employed as a superintendent and coach. Page $ Row I—B. Conger. F. Taylor. A. Copcman. F. Lint . J.' Anderson. M. Swaim. C. Carlo. B. Hart. V.

The opening of the 1938 football season ushered into existence one of the best teams that Ottumwa has ever been able to call her own. Winners of the Little Six title, undefeated and untied—such is their record. After the opening days of practice, Line Coach Kaltenbach found himself confronted with the task of build- ing an almost entirely new line. He had two lettermen returning, Max Swaim and Don L. Johnson. He succeeded in developing what we have been proud to call the best defensive line in the state. They yielded only eighteen points to oppon- ents throughout the entire season. We were more fortunate in the backfield, where we had three lettermen returning to positions; Francis Taylor, a sticky fingered player who could catch almost any pass; Joe Cclania, who was due to gain fame as a great defensive as well as offensive player; Mel Patton, who had gained his experience as an understudy of Max Connelly. Phil Smith ably filled the re- maining backfield position. When the football season was over and the various All State teams were chosen, two of our players received first team positions. Captain Max Swaim was chosen as utility lineman on Jack North's team and Jarring Joe Celania was placed in the backfield of the i. D. I5. A. team. To these two and the others who also received honorary positions, we extend our best wishes and praise.

In football, basketball, every kind of sport, We ll cheer them on to victory, For dear old O. H. S. Rah! Rah! Rah! for Ottumwa. This year the yell leaders have aided us to give the team that certain something that insures them the support necessary to spur them on to victory. Up until two years ago. these few were selected by a group of faculty members. Mr. Snyder, the faculty adviser, decided that since they were to represent the student body and since the students, not the faculty, were to be led by them, that it would be proper for the students to elect them. Since then we have had a chapel each fall to give interested students an opportunity to try-out before their classmates. 'This year there were at least fifteen who tried out. From these were elected four, Zella Smith, Virginia Buell. Wayne Leach, and Leo Monroe. Upon the shoulders of these four is placed the sometimes seemingly impossible task of inspiring pep and loyalty into the student body at pep chapels and at the games. When the breaks arc going the other way, theirs is the difficult responsibility of arousing enthusiasm and loyalty among the students who in turn inspire the team. Pace 98 Row I—Donald Randall.

Mr. Newell’s proteges failed to de- velop into a first-class team. The members of the squad apparently possessed fine qualities but they lacked that all-important factor—the ability to hit the hoop. Harold Lind and Francis Taylor were the only members of the squad who finished at mid-year—victims of the eight-semester rule. Lind had previously been one of the league’s outstanding scorers; Taylor was one of the best defensive guards in the conference. Lven though the team was affected by the loss of these two. their places were ably filled by the substitutes who remained to take over their positions. In Little Six competition Ottumwa failed to win a single game. It is interesting to observe, however, that during the first semester of play the opponents' margin of victory was only approximately four points. The Bulldogs played three games in non-conference competition, losing two to Albia and winning one from the Oska- loosa Indians. When it comes to reviewing the Bulldogs’ record, it is clearly seen that Ottumwa suffered from one of those years. Regardless of all else, the im- portant thing to be remembered is that it’s not just the score that counts, but how the game is played. To the graduating seniors, Francis Taylor, Harold Lind, Al Copeman, Clarence Carlo, Bill Yingling and Earl Hamilton, we wish to express our appreciation for their loyalty and perseverance. age 99 Coach Newell Harold Lind Francis Taylor Assistant Coach Kaltenbach Bill Yingling A1 Copeman Earl Hamilton Clarence Carlo Ottumwa 19 Oskaloosa 12 SCORES Dec. 2—Albia Opp. .. . 26 Ott. 19 Dec. 6—Oskaloosa. .. . .. 11 19 Dec. 9—Fairfield . . .16 13 Dec. 16—Mt.

Although they were paced by a record breaking two mile relay team, the mem- bers of the 1938 O. H. S. track squad had only an average season. The squad, under the supervision of Mr. Newell, opened the season at Iowa City. Here, in the Little Six Indoor Meet, thev placed third out of a field of seven. The two mile relay team, composed of John Deiters, Keith Sedore, Harvey Grooms and Kenneth McDermott here showed their potentialities by taking a first place. Next came the State Meet, but Ottumwa failed to place. In a dual meet with Oskaloosa we were defeated by a close margin. At the Osky Relays our two mile team again showed promise by taking second place against a strong field. At the Drake Re- lays the two mile team again placed, this time taking a third. Next came the Little Six Outdoor Meet. Fort Madison won top honors. Ottumwa emerging with a fourth place. The culminating event of the two mile team came in the State Outdoor Meet, when running against a strong field, they broke the state record for that distance and established a new mark for future Ottumwa teams to strive to break. The Freshman-Sophomore track squad, also under the guidance of Mr. New- ell. shows promise of developing into one of our best track squads. This year they won the county meet, even though they were competing with older opponents. Pace 10 Karl Sauer Keith Sedorc Dan Smith (1x06,5, dountxu Ottumwa’s 1938 Cross Country Team consisted of three men: Keith Sedore, Daniel Smith and Earl Sauer. These three boys ran in every meet that Ottumwa entered. Owing to the inexperience of the boys, the team got off to a bad start by losing a dual meet with Oskaloosa. With a greatly improved trio of runners. Coach Newell and the boys proceeded to take second place in the state mile race, with Sedore taking second place, Smith, eleventh and Sauer captured seventeenth position. Incidentally, there were one hundred and seventy-five boys running. The big meet of the year was, of course, the State Cross Country Race, in which Ottumwa finished in second position, with Sedore taking fourth place. Smith placed seventh and Sauer finished thirteenth. The Cross Country Squad takes a back seat to such sports as football and basketball. It is a sport which is seldom dis- cussed, a sport in which few are interested. Although they do not need the power driving force of a football player nor the alertness of a basketball player, every one of Coach Newell’s proteges has to have the strength and stamina to stand up under the gruelling distance of a mile or more. Surely they deserve more credit than they receive. They practice faithfully every night and keep in rigid training. They are giving the best they have for the school, just as arc the football and bask- etball players. In the future, give them a little more credit and have more in- terest in this so-called minor sport. [ m Each fall the G. A. A. sponsors intra-mural tournaments in such games as hit-pin ball, volleyball and baseball. Every girl has an earnest desire to be presented with an “O, which may be obtained after earning five hundred points in the participation of the various sports. Some ol the more athletically minded girls gain five hundred extra points for a state membership. The officers of the club are: President, Zclla Smith; Vice-President, Wilma Shumaker; Treasurer, Ruth Gary. Miss Comp- ton is the club adviser. One of the various activities of the G. A. A. is volleyball. Captains are chosen by the girls and each captain selects her own team. Tourna- ments are held in which regulation volleyball rules arc observed. These games are played after school in the large gymnasium. Any girl who so desires may participate. Most of the girls are members of the G. A. A., but it is not necessary that they join the club. G. A. A. members have an opportunity to earn points toward a letter by engaging in these contests. Row I Betty Burkhaltcr. Jenny Smith, Dorothy N'ickell. Helen Whitmore, Donna Dobratz. Irene Chism.

In the Ottumwa High School are thirty-two girls, interested in sw imming, w ho arc members of the Shark Club. Having passed the entrance tests these girls are striving toward their aim, the creating of interest in girls' swimming and diving. Their standards are high, and through the girls' loyalty to their club, they are kept high. The annual water pageant, under the coaching of Miss Ernestine Davidson, the girls' swimming instructor, brings to the public outstanding entertainment as well as a fine example of skill, cooperation and beauty. Every year the members of the Shark Club present a water pageant. It is always an interesting and colorful affair, as well as an exhibition of fine swimming. Those taking part spend weeks practicing for it. The pageant is presented to give the public an opportunity to see just what this girls' swimming organization can really do. The program includes drills, stunts, floating, diving, relays and form swimming. It is staged by the entire club under the direction of Miss Davidson. Organization! GE 105 Row I—Jack Redman.

In 1937 they won the Little Six Championship and retained it in 1938. During last season’s campaign the boys lost only one encounter out of eight. John Stoltz, Bob Reif- snyder, Hal Beck and Jack Redman compose the team. Other members of the squad are Roger Poling. Eddie Rupp. A1 Redman and Anthony Canny. This year the fellows are on the trail of the State title and their third Little Six Championship. After struggling through an unsuccessful season, the 1938 tennis team looks forward with high hopes to the coming year. At that time they will be able to place on the courts a team composed entirely of veterans. The team, under the supervision of Mr. Snyder played four matches: one with Centerville, two with Oskaloosa and one against a strong Burlington team. Jim Leonard acted as the team’s captain. The destruction of the local court by the August hurricane ” made fall matches impossible. atuzationi The word intramural when translated from Latin means between the walls. So, intramural sports are those conducted between the walls or within the school. The intramural program is a varied one. as contests in baseball, basketball, volleyball, touch football, boxing and wrestling are conducted every day after school and during the noon hour, with students acting as officials. Intramural sports give those who are not of varsity caliber and who wish to take a part in school sports a chance to display their wares. One of the latest projects of the Ottumwa High School is Archery. It was started last fall and by now is in full swing. In order to obtain membership in this class, one must have had one semester of dancing and one semester of sw imming. I 'or the more interested students a club was formed, thus providing time for more thorough study than was possible in class. A tournament was held this spring under the supervision of Miss Davidson, their faculty adviser. Row I—John Roberts. Henry McDaniel. Ed Denote. Wayne Young. Bill Davis. John Albrecht. Don Anderson.

After much preparation, the festivities began with a parade, which toured the business district and moved on out to the athletic field for the game. In this parade was featured the Homecoming queen. Marguerite Johnston, the candidate of the Dramatic Club and her attendants. Bcttina Baker and Alda Tullis. The floats, which were entered by the clubs of the school, showed a va- riety of novel ideas. Prizes were given to the Shark Club and Commercial Club for the best decorated floats. Prizes were also given for the worst wreck” still running under its own power, the best decorated car and the best decorated bicycle. After the parade, a large crowd attend- ed the football game between Ottumwa and Keo- kuk. the score of which was Ottumwa 6, Keokuk 0. The Homecoming ended with a dance held that evening at the Y. M.

Care and judgment . . . . two mighty meaningful words to consider when you or- der printing. Care and judgment signify the skill, the training, the experience, the talent of the printer who does your work. Paper, ink, type, and other ma- terials that the printers use are standard, but the finished pro- duct depends upon . . . . . .

If you have had to get down and dif to learn your lessons during the four years now closing, you have laid the groundwork for further advancement. If you have found learning an easy job, you arc fortunate, are equipped to take additional educational hurdles by merely applying a little more steam. If you have taken a dillydally attitude toward your work, you have some hard days ahead of you. Opportunities neglected will look alluring as new ones appear and you find your attack weak. Life makes few distinctions when a new recruit for battle api ears. It is a leveler, it plays few favorites, it hints little of the outcome. Results rest largely in the hands and mind of the individual. Make your life worth the effort.

IN APPRECIATION Few students realize the part our advertisers play in the production of this book. Their cooperation is essential to the book’s success and we, the staff, appreciate that spirit of cooperation which so many Ottumwa business establishments have manifested. Their financial assistance has made possible this book a book planned with the thought in mind of enter- taining you; a book which, we hope, will prove a source of hours cf pleasant reminiscences. We appeal to the students of O. H. S. to trade whenever possible with the merchants whose advertisements are in this book there is a no more tangible means of express- ing your appreciation and approval of the 1939 Argus Annual. The Picture Story of Getting an Argus Annual Advertisement I—Richard Funk, the Advertising Manager, completes the first step in the ad- vertising work when he persuades Mr. Harry Cousins of Cousins Men’s Shop to sign a contract for Argus Annual Advertising. II Jane McCune, a staff mem- ber. completes the second step as she gets the “copy from Mr C. C. Thompson of the Daisy Do Nut Shop. 111—Don Sauer, the Business Manager, completes the third and last stqp when he collects the money for an Argus Annual Adver- tisement from Miss Charlotte Dalin of Arnold’s jewelry Store. ce 151 d fnnuat Advertisers.....................110 Archery.........................107 Argus Annual.................... 68 Argus News...................... 70 Art Club........................ 82 Band............................ 76 Basketball...................... 99 I3oard of Education............. 12 Boy's Quartette................. 79 Cafeteria....................... 20 Cheerleaders.................... 98 Coaches......................... 92 Commercial Club................. 85 Cross Country...................103 Debate.......................... 75 Declamatory..................... 75 Dramatic Club................... 72 Dramatic Production............. 74 Engineers....................... 20 Faculty......................... 14 Football........................ 93 French.......................... 82 Freshman Class................ 55 Freshman Officers............... 54 G.
