Bird ' s-eye view of the high school. On these pages we present our building pictorially. Built in 1923, it is one of the finest institutions of its kind in the state. Though we may not re- alize it, we are indeed privileged to he able to attend such a school. Besides many large, well-lighted classrooms, it has two gyms, a swim- ming pool, a n auditorium seating thirteen hundred and fifty, and a cafe- teria feeding several hundred daily. There are also well-equipped shops for woodworking, m echanical drawing, and art work; three laboratories for experi- mentation in chemistry, physics, and biology; a kitchen for home-economics students, a large typing room, a fine printing shop, and a greenhouse for agricultural students. The Victory Bell The south entrance With the wide variety of subjects offered in our curriculum, it should be possible for every student to find something in which he is really interested. The mastering of that subject may take some work. It may mean that the student will have to put in a few hours on home work now and then. Although they may not seem so now, studies are good for us. They offer exercise for our minds, and thev teach us to think clearly. V. Darrell Parsons setting type. Bob Petermann at a lathe. Don Anderson, Keith Amiss.

It was their undying effort and inexhaustible patience that helped us through all of our troubles and trials. Theirs was the aid and counsel, freely and willingly given, that gave us the encouragement when it was needed. Theirs were the hands which guided us along the seemingly endless road to better and higher education. From these teachers we have received loyal support and great inspiration for all of our endeavors. Page 14 VAN ANTWERP. J. F.— Principal. B. A., M. A.. Hanover. University of Iowa. KING.

To this number must be added the four on the office staff, making a total of fifty-eight on our faculty. This year a change in the faculty was made necessary when Mr. Bollman was chosen City Physical Education Director. His place was taken by Fred Maasdam, who previously coached at Packwood. Other new members of the faculty are Mrs. Jean Alford, who is filling a vacancy in the commercial department and Mrs. Eleanor Alton, in the clothing department.

The fourteen members are elect- ed annually by the student body on the basis oi leadership, schol- arship, and character. Elec- tion to this is an honor. Some of the many duties oi the Student Council are: the management of the Lost and Found, Noon Movies, a check room for all high school activities, and the school club- room. The president presides at Pep Chapels and conducts the Student Council court. The council also directs the very efficient Reserve System in which students, chosen by the councilmen, are placed in the halls to enforce the pink slip rule during class hours. The officers of the Student Council are: Phil Darbyshire, president; Harvey Ware, vice- president; Ann Rowe, secretary; I3ill Bibb, treasurer. The fac- ulty adviser. Miss Miller, gives freely of her time in helping the council make its projects suc- cessful.

Page 19 ENGINEERS CAFETERIA Behind the scenes of our school are men and women of whom we are scarcely aware as being a part of our efficient system. These are the engineers who help keep the wheels of Ottumwa High School running; yet, it is to them we owe the cleanliness and beauty of the building. Every day and even at night some work to keep our building in order. No nov- ices at this work are these en- gineers, three of whom have been on our staff for about fifteen years. Each of these engineers has his part to play in keeping our school in perfect order. Many people probably do not realize what an important part the school cafeteria plays in our school life. Every day more than five hundred people eat there. About three hundred students use the cafeteria to eat the lunches which they bring from home each day, and approximately two hun- dred people buy lunches which have been prepared by our efficient cooks, Mrs. Thompson and Mrs. Bottorff. Mrs. Thompson has been with our school cafeteria for about eighteen years, assisted by Mrs. Bottorf who has been here for about eight years. Ernest Wilkinson.

Soon we, the 1942 class will have placed in our hands the diploma, cher- ished symbol of high school life. When we receive that diploma, the sudden realization that our high school career has come to an abrupt end will sweep over us. Memories will Hash before our eves, memories ol history, mathe- matics and other classes and subjects necessary to reach our educational goal. The social side of our school life will not pass by unnoticed. Memories of parties, picnics, the Senior Prom and other dances will linger with us. Re- membrances of athletic prowess, dramatic ability, musical talent, and dis- tinction in (he fields of speech and art will be cherished thoughts in years to come. ♦ Miss Cki:s yi:i i , Aik iser I Iakvky Wake, President Bob Williams, Vice-Presidenl Bii.i. Amos, Secretary Fkani i ■■ M n ii m i , Treasurer We are not unmindful of the teachers who have so willingly guided us through these four years. Under the capable and willing guidance of our class officers and under the leadership of Miss Creswell, our class adviser, we feel that we have attained a glorious ending to our four year high school career. Harvey Gabby Ware, as president, has guided our class through our four years in high school with distinction. Never before in the school ' s history has the same person been chosen as class president all four years. As teacher, adviser, and friend. Miss Creswell has never failed the class as a whole or as individuals. Without her aid our achievements might never have been attained. Her advice and counsel were always freely given. To her the Senior class extends a heart-felt thank-vou. Page 21 SENIORS Page 22 Dona A. Akerman Home Ec. Club Commercial Club 1-2-3 4 Margie Allen N. Y. Cltv H. S. 1-3 Evanston, III. H. S. 2 O. H.

Through our freshman, sophomore, and junior years we have had fun with our studies and activities. As we think of our prep years, we have no misgivings. Our only regret is that we have but one more year in Ottumwa School. High Clark Wymore, President Miss Schick. Adviser Frank Markley, Vice President Don Farrington, Secretary I ' ml i Kcmblc. Treasurer Our class, the class of 1943, is the largest ever to be enrolled in our high school. Therefore, more responsibili- ties have been plac- ed upon us. In rec- ognition of this fact, we are going to do our best to fill the place left by this year ' s seniors. Already, we have proved ourselves in the fields of music, dramatics, athletics, and various other activities into which our school enters. Even though we have fun, we have not forgotten that we must be serious, also. Look- ing into the luture, we know that a sound education and healthy mind are going to be two of the greatest factors in saving de- mocracy. All of these things — studies, extra-cur- ricular activities, social life, and we, ourselves, when put together go to make up part of our success in the future.

With such a statement a b o u t them, the upper- classmen may teel confident in leav- ing the school ' s name and honor in their hands when they graduate. You will find them already out- standing in the many extra-curric- ular activities, lay- ing a firm founda- tion for achieve- ments in their last two years. As yet, many of them aren ' t stars of the basket- ball, football, o r track teams, but it is wise to bear in mind the fact that they will compose the greater part of these teams in I ( )45 and 1944. One can readily understand how this group deserves what has been said about it when one considers the leadership of their class officers and the friendly aid of their class adviser, Miss Farrar, who has helped them over the rough spots in their year as sophomores. As an adviser she is tops in the minds of all the sophomores because of her sincere interest in their studies and ac- tivities.

Belger, Secretary fames Price, Vice President Although the freshmen are only first year students, they have entered into high school activities with a will to work. Since the activities taken on in the first year have much to do in deciding an individ- ual ' s activities for later high school days, you can ex- pect to see these freshmen right on top in years to come. Because they know that All work and no play make Jack a dull boy, they do both with a determina- tion to get the most out of their school life. One of the greatest ambitions ol the lower class- men has been ful- filled. They are attending Big High. These freshmen, guided by their capable adviser, Miss Vinton, now begin the climb up that well-known ladder of success. In these unsettled times it will not be easy go- ing, but we feel sure that they will end right there on top. So when you hear the fresh- men yell Watch us work and watch us strive. We ' re the class of ' 45, you will know that to them this is not just a class yell, but the password to their future life.

However, only a few are chosen to be honored; they are students who have not only a high scholas- tic standing but also outstanding traits of character and leadership. If and when a student reaches the coveted goal, he considers this distinction one of the high points of his high school career. This organization is under the direction of Miss Enoch. S. Baker. M.

The Librarians Club, an important organization, renders special service to the school. The library opens at eight- thirty in the morning and at twelve- fifteen at noon. Students may make use of these precious minutes before class in an atmosphere quiet and helpful to last minute study. Many students use the library during sixth period for additional research and study. Among the im- provements in the library this year are additional stacks and many new fiction, biography, and travel books. The ad- ditions bring added enjoyment and aid to the student body. Students from the study hall now use the library more freely. Dining the study hours pupils may go back and forth from (he study hall to the library for books, magazines, or ref- erence material. Besides finding research and fiction books lor students, members of the Librarians ' Club check out books, take care of library slips, type, file, and give general help to Miss Gallanar, the school li- brarian. The officers are: Bernard Hamilton, president; Glen White, vice-president ; Ruth Palmer, sec- retary-treasurer. Under the capa- ble guidance of Miss Gallanar, this club will continue to be one of the most important in our school.

Pagk 71 THE 1942 ARGUS ANNUAL COMES BUT ONCE A YEAR This, the Argus Annual, is your yearbook. It is planned with your likes kept in mind. The Annual staff has, in the past year, worked to present you with one of the finest year books in the history of the Annual. We feel that this goal has been attained and we are sure that the salient qualities of this publication will be fully appreciated. We have given subsidiary details the same degree of attention given to de- tails of major importance. This year we have expermiented with the divi- sions and instead of the usual four di- visions, we have only two, Curricular and Extra-Curricular. We are grate- ful to the students, the faculty mem- bers, and especially to our adviser. Miss King, who has cooperated so willingly with us. Our appreciation is most sincere. The Argus Annual advisory group was composed this year of the six staff heads for the yearbook. These stu- dents, with Miss King, worked strenu- ously on the Annual. During their advisory period the group worked on and carried out the plans for the year- book. The Advisory Group in 111 — I. Haller, J. Bren- neman, F. Douma, C. von Schrader, V. Michener, F.

To those interested in journalism this organization affords great enjoyment and valuable training. The News had a large staff this year, as those who really like this type of work always can gain admittance to the staff. In addition to participation on the News those persons outstanding in service, character, and scholarship are awarded membership in the Quill and Scroll, a national journalistic society. The adviser of the Argus News, Miss Ochs, has aided greatly in the pub- lication ot the paper through her help and interest. Also to the printing de- partment goes a vote of thanks for its aid.

It is among the largest of the organizations in school and one which does much to further public performances by the students. Under the expert gui- dance and direction of Miss Stover, they present three plays each year. In addition to the casts for the plays, there are many crews to take care of every detail in the produc- tions. Their stage and electrical crews are always present to help with stage setting and lighting at all high school and civic produc- tions presented in our auditorium. Every year the Dramatic Club officers are elected by the popular vote of the members. Officers for this year are: Jeanne Moore, presi- dent; Marjorie Strohauer, vice- president; Norma Metz, secretary; and Barbara Salter, treasurer. Page 76 PLAYERS ' CLUB MASTERS IN THEIR FIELD Within the Ottumwa High School Dra- matic Club there is a very select group oi dra- matists, an inner circle, known as the Play- ers ' Club. It is a sort of senior organization composed of the most competent and experi- enced members of the Dramatic Club. These students are usually only those who have been members of the Dramatic Club for at least three semesters. Any member of Dramatic Club is eligible for membership in the Players ' Club. In order to attain this honor, one must earn seventy-five points through hard work as actors, as mem- bers of the various stage, costume, and business crews, as crew managers, or by selling tickets. These members act as advisers or helpers to the new students of the Dramatic Club. They perform many responsible duties such as judg- ing the Dramatic Club try-outs. They also have charge of appointing the permanent crew managers. Every year the Players ' Club produces a spring play, which is cast from their organiza- tion. They carry on their own business tran- sactions. Since there is no need for either a secretary or a treasurer of the Players ' Club, they have only a president and vice-president. This year they are, respectively, Chandler von Schrader and Frank Douma. Their leader and coun- selor is Miss Bertha C. Stover, Dramatic Club adviser. lid I )enefe, I ' rank I )ouma, I ■•■ l Mai li ens, I Moore, Marv ( Isborne, Phil Peppei , Ri iger Poling, Alii c- Mac Sheldon, Patti Stoltz, Marjorie Sim- Chandler von Schrader, Evans, Carolyn [ohnson, Norma Metz.

FASHION SCENE: NEW YORK IN 1850 Something new! Something dif- ferent ! This was the theme of the first dramatic club play of the year. Such things as the actors ' poses, style of speech, old soliloquies and asides, which the actors used as a method of telling their inner feelings to the audience, made up the old fashioned play. Many of those in the cast were old hands, but there were new members also who showed that they, too, had out- standing talent. Everyone worked exceedingly hard, and Miss Stover was kept very busy to bring about the smooth, polished play that resulted.

It was written by Robert Planquette. The setting of the operetta was Nor- mandy, France and deals with eighteenth century life. This produc- tion was one of the most eagerly await- ed events of the school year. Directing the production was Selma G. Aas, music supervisor, who was as- sisted by Bertha C. Stover, dramatic coach. The student directors were Norma Metz, Mary Osborne, and Mar- cielle Terrill. Jacqueline Rankin and Robert Miley. Jack Bullock. Alda Tullis, A .,i Alice Ratcliffe, John Brenneman. Page 79 DECLAM MY FRIENDS Declam is undoubtedly one oi the more helpful activities in school for the development oi one ' s personality and one ' s ability to speak before a large audience with poise and selt-assurance. Each year the members of Declam take part in several local contests, which are held to determine the most out- standing speakers of the club. They go to the county, district, and state declamatory contests. The state win- ner may even go as far as the national contests. Our school sends several repre- sentatives to the Iowa Nine, which has separate contests for the boys and for the girls. Miss Dorothy Lindley, the organi- zation ' s helpful adviser, does splendid work in keeping Declam what it is to-dav.

AND FURTHERMORE- II you are self-conscious or nervous when speaking before an audience, par- ticipation in the Ottumwa High School Debate Club will help you overcome the fear of public speaking. Under the direction of Miss Lind- Iey, the members have practice debates, go on trips out of town, and have the concession at football and basketball games. The National Forensic League, national forensic society, has in recent years been installed in O. H. S. Mem- bership to this inner society is gained by an accumulation of twenty points for various activities. The officers of Debate Club are: George Schleicher, president; Walter Johnson, vice-president; Barbara Sav- age, secretary; John Stansberry, treas- urer. Page 81 BAND ■ PROFS PARADERS Our band is a volunteer organiza- tion and although the members do have a few trips as a reward, they work very hard to become as expert on their re- spective instruments as possible. As large as our band was this year, there was no driftwood, no silent or dummy horns; each person realized that his particular part was important and played it accordingly. Much credit should go to Mr. Dayton for his patient work with the organization. We were also blessed with a very fine drum major, Wallace Michener, and two very capable drum majorettes, Barbara Jean Pherigo and Jean Collier. Row I C. Baldridge. M. Ralcliffe, D. Caster. M.

Any student who has displayed sufficient talent to become a member of the orchestra receives valu- able training and experience under the guidance of Mr. Scott. The orchestra plays a prominent part in the activities of the school year. It furnishes musical entertainment for all Dramatic Club plays, for the Christ- mas pageant, and various other activ- ities. Each year this organization takes part in the state-wide musical festival in some neighboring city. Within this organization there are numerous small groups who are always willing to entertain outside audiences. Row I— L. Donaldson. D. Walker, B. Doup, G. Boyce, B. Loerke, K. Moore- head, J.

It is one of the most popular and one of the largest organizations in the musical department of our extra-curricular ac- tivities. It is also very prominent in public performances as many civic organizations call upon it lor entertain- ment. The Chorus is made up of ap- proximately seventy-five students who participate in the annual operetta, the Christmas pageant, the spring concert and either the State Music Festival, or the State Music Contests. Their instructor is Miss Selma Aas, and their accompanist is Betty Stockberger. Pace 84 SMALL GROUPS TRIO SEXTETTE Jean Click, Jacqueline Rankin. Wanda Shields, Mary Elizabeth Wilson (accompanist). Seated: Alary Elizabeth Wilson, Mary Osborne (accompanist), Betty Burkhalter. Standing: Barbara Proctor. Frannv Michael, Ellen Belle Baker, Ruth Dickson. Another such organization is the girls ' trio. They very capably present old and modern compositions, beauti- fully and effectively done. They are much in demand among the various civic clubs of the community. They sing, also, for church gatherings and school assemblies. The girls meet twice each week for rehearsals under the direction of Miss Aas. Here they gain an understanding of the music which they sing so well. Every year one of our small vocal groups is entered in either the State Music Contests or the State Music Festival. Sometimes this trio is chosen. Among the small vocal groups within the Ottumwa High School music department, there is an organization known as the girls ' sextette. The six girls composing it, along with their ac- companist, are well-known in the com- munity for their artistic representa- tions of best-loved songs and ballads. All of these girls sing in the Mixed Chorus. To become a member of this group, a student ' s voice need not be an exceptional one. However, it should have a clear quality and an accurate pitch. This group is under the expert direction of Miss Selma G. Aas. Paoe 85 HI-Y CLEAN SCHOLARSHIP AND LIVING Row I — B. Kemble, P. Burggraaf, Carlson, R. Davidson, E. McGuire, Poling, G. Soteropulos, D.

It is a nation-wide organization and, therefore, you will find the Ottumwa branch carrying on correspondence with branches in distant cities getting ideas from them as well as giving them in- formation as to meetings, etc. During the year the Hi-Y enters into many school and state activities. Probably the highlight of the club ' s work is sponsoring the annual homecoming day. This year the club had fine officers to lead it in its work. Mr. Hamley of the high school and Mr. Hickman of the Y helped greatly with the club. Page 86 HI-TRI TO FACE LIFE SQUARELY Every year physical and mental health is being stressed in connection with school, and here in O. H. S. the organization of Hi-Tri aids. Weekly at the Y. W. C. A. the members of this girls ' club take part in various kinds of sports such as basket- ball.

This club was formed for the purpose of creating greater interest and keener ap- preciation of drawing and other phases of art. Any art student and any other pupil having talent for this work may belong to the club. The Art Center in our community has been of great value to this club. Many meetings are held there as the members study various works of art. LeRoy Terrell in Art Class.

LET EM ROLL Certain members of Mr. Webert ' s printing classes who want to do such out- side work as printing the stamp cards and Argus News compose the Printing Club. The members, to do such work, necessarily have to put in extra hours and show great interest in the art of printing. As a reward they gain much valuable experience under the expert supervision of Mr. Webert. In later life it they want to continue this type of work it is all the more valuable to them. We should appreciate them all the more because of the fact that their efforts go quite unheralded; so here ' s a million (hanks to a fine organization. 1 Bf JTj ™ ' -( ig$id 4| m m ■ — , ™ ..

FUTURE TEACHERS In Ottumwa High School there has been formed a group which is beneficial to the members not only now but also after graduation. This is the F. T. A. or the Future Teachers of America. Under the supervision of Miss Standing the pupils in this group pre- pare for their future vocation by study- ing methods of teaching both in this locality and all over the nation. They also study lives of great teachers and educators. Many people graduate from high school without even a fundamental knowledge o f their vocations, but through this association and training these future teachers will have a work- ing knowledge of professional teaching, which will be of great benefit to them.

Page 99 hacLL urn J Eciiaation NIGHT FOOTBALL FOR OTTUMWA On the evening of October 2, 1941, Ottumwa High School dedicated the new ninety-thousand dollar stadium. As the high school band marched down the field to stand at attention before the United States flag, the powerful lights surround- ing the stadium were slowly lowered, until, they were completely extinguished. The (lag remained lighted only by a number ot red flares as the cheer leaders raised it. During this time the band was playing the national anthem. In the first hall of the game played between the Ottumwa Bulldogs and the Fairfield Trojans, our boys showed unusual football skill. At the half, short speeches of dedication were made by Mr. Walter H. McElroy, president of the Board of Education; Mr. Ray Murray, W. P. A. director; and Mr. H. V. Wilson, School Board member and chairman of the athletic field board. The evening ended in triumph for the mighty Bulldogs by defeating the Trojans, 24-0. Donaldson im Swan- son raise Hag.

Fred Maasdam A newcomer among 0. H. S. coaches is Fred Maasdam, who serves as coach of the Freshman-Sophomore athletes on both the gridiron and the hardcourt. Mr. Maasdam also assists Don Newell in track ac- tivities, and is boys ' physical education director. Mr. Maasdam attended Parsons College where he let- tered in football and track. Coach Maasdam started his coaching career at Richland, later moving to Washington. He also coached at Packwood before coming to Ottumwa. Although he has served but one year at 0. H. S. Mr. Maasdam has become exceedingly popular with the students and his fellow facultv members. Don Newell continued his fine record at 0. H. S. by again turning out excellent squads in both football and track. He also served as an invaluable assistant coach in basketball. Coach Newell himself drew much acclaim as an athlete, when he lettered in football, bas- ketball, and track for four years at Iowa Wes- leyan College. Since receiving his diploma at Iowa Wesleyan, Mr. Newell has served as coach at Fenton, Eddyville, and, of course, Ot- tumwa. Coach Newell ' s thirteen years at 0. H. S. make him dean not only of Ottumwa High School coaches, but also of all the coaches in the Little Six Conference. Don Newell E. J. Kaltenbach E. J. Kaltenbach has served his third suc- cessful year as head basketball coach at 0. II. S. and his fifth year in the system. Besides his basketball duties, Butch invariably turns out tough forward walls in performing his duties as line coach in football. In the spring Coach Kaltenbach turns to golf, his linkmen having captured the Little Six Championship both years he has coached the sport. After obtaining his B. A. degree from Iowa State Teachers ' College, Mr. Kaltenbach be- came superintendent of public schools in Clermont. Later he served in the same ca- pacity at Melbourne. Butch also taught at East High, Waterloo, before coming to Ot- tumwa. Pace 102 FOOTBALL SQUAD •LITTLE SIX CHAMPS The 1941 football edition of 0. II. S. ' s Battlin ' Bulldogs finished with one of the greatest records ever to he produced by an Ottumwa eleven. Last fall ' s squad has been ranked with (). II. S. heroes of the days of Ralph O ' Dell. Don Newell ' s powerhouse met serious trouble just once when they were held to a 7 to 7 tie by Ft. Madison. Musca- tine was the only other aggregation able to penetrate the Bulldogs ' stonewall - ' defense tor a touchdown. I lowever, this was scored after Ottumwa held a margin of eighteen points. 0. H. S. rolled over the rest of their opponents, amassing a total of two hundred sixty- two points to their rivals 13. Row I— C. Taylor, P. Schertz, D. Math- ews, D. Lawson, J. Sheets. D. Doolittle, R.

Ottumwa High School athletic de- partment ' s most consistent performers, the golf team, had another successful season. The divot diggers ' greatest feat was accomplished when they took the Little Six title for the fifth successive year. Coach Kaltenbach ' s crew was also very successful in dual and trian- gular meets, winning seven of their eight engagements. The lone deteat, at the hands of the Albia Demons, was later avenged by the 0. H. S. pellet pounders. That the Ottumwa Bulldogs have gained fame in statewide golfing circles was shown when they were invited to the Cedar Rapids invitational golf tour- nament. Competing against twenty of Iowa ' s finest high school golf teams, the 0. H. S. golfers were a credit to the school by gaining third place. Chan von Schrader warms up for a tough meet.

INTRAMURAL FRIENDLY ENEMIES For boys who like competitive athletics and are not yet large enough physically or not quite good enough in ability for the varsity teams, an intra- mural league is formed each year. In this league the boys have their own teams and compete for the champion- ship of the league with just as much en- thisiasm as if they were fighting for the championship of the Little Six. There- is one positive element, and that is, al- though every team cannot be the cham- pion, everyone has a lot of fun. That is the principal idea behind the league, along with the idea of promoting good sportsmanship and clean play among bovs. Page 113 G. A. A. A SOUND MIND IN A SOUND BODY Row I— A. Young, M.

HOMECOMING One of the most ' eagerly awaited events of this year more than ever was the Home- coming which is held every fall. This year ' s homecoming was a great success due to the tireless efforts of the Hi-Y. Several days before the Homecoming, enthusiasm ran high throughout the school as the student body voted for the queen and her attendants. The festivities began with a colorful and lengthy procession which wended its way through the business district and moved on to our new athletic stadium. iMusic was furnished by our high school band, which was followed by floats, bicycles and the Home- coming Queen and her attendants. Prizes were awarded to the various clubs for their novel floats. After the parade came the football game between the Ottumwa Bulldogs and Burlington ' s Greyhounds. A huge crowd filled the new stadium breaking all previous attendance records. In honor of this glorious event out team gave us a 20 to victory over the Greyhounds. As a conclusion to a perfect day, a dance was held at the Y. M. C. A. The mem- bers of the victorious O. H. S. team were the special guests at the dance. It was here that Jean von Schrader, candidate of the Argus Annual, was crowned queen by Gust Soteropulos, president of the Hi-Y. Her attendants were Betty Jean Loerke, Spanish Club candidate, and Jeanne Neiswanger, Student Council candidate. The music for this gala occasion was furnished by Art Reifsnyder ' s orchestra. All in all it was a perfect Homecoming.

They are words from Ralph Waldo Emerson, words we all should try always to remember. You, Class oi 1942 of the Ottumwa High School, are stepping out into a world, the like of which time never belore has recorded. A world which none of us imagined, even so recently as the day you entered the high school course of study. Emerson, true and tried counselor, announced quietly: The first lesson oi history is the good of evil. Good is a good doctor; but Bad is sometimes a better. These things you may ponder: The good of evil; wars breaking up immovable rou- tine; a tendency in things to right themselves; a war-wise system shattered, opening a fair field to new men. That, Class of 1942, is where you fit in, as once more we have the answer to our doubts and questions. THE OTTUMWA COURIER. John Huston, Publisher.
