Wing (not in picture) BOARD OF EDUCATION In the Ottumwa public school system there is a highly important, and little known group called the Board of Education. This group of public servants is made up of six business and professional men and one lady. They are elected to work long hours without compensation, deciding matters of importance to the school system. Aiding these elected members are salaried helpers. Among these are Walter McLain, secretary; Frank W. Douma, superintendent of schools, and Clair Jones and June Clouse, secretaries. The work of the board is divided among five committees under President Sam Rickard and Vice-President Harry Wing. The personnel committee is composed ol I)r. G. W. Loerke, chairman, Mrs. Matt L. Lawrence and Mr. Rickard. Chairman of the athletic field committee, II. V. Wilson, is aided by Dr. Wing and L. A. Reedquist. The committee of finance and in- surance is headed by Dr. Wing assisted by C. I). Evans and Mr. Wilson. The purchasing com- mittee is composed of Mrs. Lawrence, chairman, Dr. Loerke, and Mr. Evans. The building committee is composed of all the board members with Mr. Rickard as chairman. Dr. Loerke is in charge of the Adams and the high school; Mr. Evans, Agassi , and Stuart; Mrs. Lawrence, Douglas and Ilerdick; Mr. Wilson, Fairview and Washington. Mr. Reedquist has Franklin. Garfield, and Orchard under his responsibility; Mr. Rickard, Horace Mann and Lincoln, and Dr. Wing, Irving and Jefferson. Wc are truly indebted to this group ol’ men and women, who, after doing their own work, take time to govern and guide one of the l est of public school systems.

The student officers, who are elected by the mem- bers. were in charge of the meeting. We were informed that this club is a part of the National I Ionor Society and that competi- tion is great for those who strive to attain membership. All of the members are care- fully selected by a faculty committee of which Miss Clara Enoch is chairman. The four aims or qualifications of Torch Club are scholarship, leadership, character, and ser- vice. Under scholarship comes the require- ment for an average of not less than eighty- five per cent. A student must be active in extra-curricular activities and have at least fifteen activity points. Participation in clubs, holding student offices, and assuming responsibilities of school life reveal charac- ter and may be classified under leadership and service. We found that onlv juniors and seniors are eligible, and that the new members are chosen twice a year. This club serves as a reminder for all students to do their best and to take interest in outside activities. We believe that it is a goal of many students and a high honor for those who attain this goal. Even though the qualifications of this club are rigid, it usually has a large membership. After learning about this club, we com- mem! those who have been selected as mem- bers. Each one who attains this honor, surely deserves it, for it is only through his own efforts that he achieves this goal which is the highlight of his school career.

While interviewing some of its members we found them to be very conscientious in their work. The members carry a heavy load of re- sponsibility upon their shoulders, for the duties of the council arc numerous. Pep assemblies, school clubroom, lost and found department, and a check room is under the direction of council members. The '‘Inner-council, which was formed only this year, consists of one student elected from each advisory group. One of the duties of this group is the supervision of “The Bull- dog Lounge ’ a recreation center for (). II. S. students at the Y. W. C. A. The Student Court, which we visited, proved there is democracy in our school. The court gives violators of school rules a fair trial. Much of the credit for the success of the council should be given to its adviser, Miss Rose Miller. Pack 20 RESERVE Row I Barbara Hulls, Mnrccne Harl, Louise Cald- well. Eleanor Mannam.

Shumaker Bob Nelson Bob Ask Adviser President Vice President Secretary Treasurer As we walked through the halls, it was very evident that many students seemed to have a certain air about them that the others lacked. It didn't take long to learn that these were all members of the Senior Class of 1944. After attending four years at (). 11. S.. these seniors have at last attained the high goal that every student seeks the goal toward which every un- derclassman looks with envy. After looking back upon the record of these seniors, we realized that theirs is truly a record to be proud of. Many students have won honors in such activities as debate and declam. Others have excelled in dramatics or speech work. Still others have become outstanding in music, whether it be in the band, orchestra, or in the vocal groups. Several of these boys held places in the unforgetable State Champion Basketball Team, and since then they have worked up to become the stars of today. Others have become widely known for their outstanding work on the gridiron, and several records have been broken by these boys in the track meets. When we inquired of the members of this senior class, we found it hard to find a single one who had not participated in some way in the production of the Road to Freedom , which was presented two years ago. Many students continued in this type of work by appearing in the student assemblies, or in a High School Night program. We also discovered that the members of this class were outstanding not only in the extra- curricular activities, but also in their regular school work. They have won just as much dis- tinction in scholastic achievements as in any other field. We marvelled at the progress which these seniors have made since they started into grade school many years ago. Now that their high school days are about over, we know that they will find it hard to leave the school where they have spent so many happy hours and have form- ed so many new lasting friendships. As we looked over the records, we saw that the seniors have been very fortunate in having as their leaders officers, who have led them brilliantly anti capably throughout the past four years. Each one has been competent and efficient, and has represented his class exceedingly well. The privilege of being an officer of the senior class is one of the highest honors in high school, and is one of which a student may be extremely proud. Miss Mabel Taylor is the adviser of the Senior Class. She is the worthy successor to Miss Audrcn Farrar, who was the adviser for the first two years. Although it is rather difficult for an adviser to assume her responsibilities after a class is half way through high school, we soon learned that Miss Taylor quickly adapted herself to her position and capably guided the Senior Class in all their accomplishments. We arc sure that if he were given the opportunity, each member of the Senior Class would personally wish to extend his thanks to the class officers and the sponsors, Miss Farrar and Miss Taylor, for so willingly and helpfully guiding him through his high school years. Open wide success’ door. We're the c’ass of '44! Page 23 SENIORS Dorothy Ache Mary Lee Allen Ruth Allen Robert K.

Page 42 JUNIOR CLASS OFFICERS Miss Roth, Adviser; Jim McClure, President; Marjorie Stoltz, Vice Pres. Saralee Desper, Secretary Lucille Roberts, Treasurer We of the class of ’45 have now become well established in (). II. S., and we wish to thank the faculty as well as the upperclassmen who have helped us achieve this feeling. We will at- tempt to repay them by cooperating in all they ask of us and by following the rules and regula- tions they have set down, from which we derive many privileges and liberties. Under the guidance and leadership of Miss Ruth Roth, the new junior class adviser, our class is destined to be prominent in the school's activities. With the assistance of Miss Roth and our class officers we have accomplished much. With world conditions such as they are today, it is more important than ever that we make the most of our schooling in order to be better prepared for the work we will do after we have graduated from high school. The grades which we make and the fun which we have are mainly up to us. With this thought in mind, we shall do our best to make this year as successful as possible. As might be expected, more and more of our fellow classmates are coming into the lime- light of the school’s activities. There are some who are well known to all for their part in sports; some who are talented and do their bit in student assemblies; some who become prom- inent in the field of debate; and some who are known for their scholastic ability. Glory anti honor have come to those of us who are participating in extra-curricular activities and to those who have received election to one of the various honorary societies. The accomplishments we have made in our studies as well as in these extra-curricular activities will inspire us to do just as well if not better than we tlitl last year. This is not only thought but also voiced as we give our class yell: “Watch us work and watch us strive, We're the class of '45.''

Page 48 SOPHOMORE CLASS OFFICERS Miss Fast, Adviser Kenny Davis, President Don Ferguson, Vice President Fred Nydle, Secretary JoELLEN DRYDEN, Treasurer “Fame with wisdom we will mix We're the class of '46.'' The present Sophomore Class has proved its slogan, for already they have stepped into the light of fame with their enthusiasm and ability. We have found the Sophomore Class playing an outstanding and active part in extra-cur- ricular activities, including sports as well as other outside work. While interviewing some of its members we found that the ardent zeal in their work was partly due to the enjoyment which they found in the activities. They are firm believers in the saying that the sophomore year is one of the best years of high school. But, nevertheless, they are eagerly looking forward to the years which lie before them. A very firm foundation has been laid by the class of ’46 for their following educational years. Because of their ability in extra-curricular activities the sophomores have furnished competition for their upper classmen. We discovered that this class possesses many able leaders and individuals who will later play important roles in high school events. Since our city now has three Junior High Schools, the entire Sophomore Class is new to 0. II. S. These students are enjoying and following the leadership of their ellicient oflicers, but uppermost in their mind is their admiration for Miss Florence Fast, their capable adviser. The uncertain future which confronts all of us, also must be met bv these students. Be- sides their school work and activities, they have their patriotic duty to think about. We dis- covered with pleasure and pride that many of these students are contributing much of their time to the war effort. Many are air raid messengers, while others are working at the Red Cross centers. A large majority of them are backing our defense stamp sales regularly. These students have reached the half-way mark in high school. We wish them the best of luck in future years, and hope that they will continue to mix “fame with wisdom.

Clark, principal of the Stuart Junior High School, has been with the Ottumwa school system since the fall of 1940. Prior to coming to Ottumwa, he taught at Salem for three years. Leaving Salem he became coach and principal in Winfield. I Ic then came to Ottumwa, where he taught social studies. Mr. Clark did his undergraduate work at Iowa Wesleyan, his post-graduate work at the Universities of Iowa and Florida. For five years Howard C. Rasch has been the principal of the Franklin School. Last year, the ninth grade was added to his school; now, Mr. Rasch is truly the principal of two schools. Mr. Rasch graduated from the University of Iowa in 1956, and later, in 1959, re- ceived his M. A. degree there. Before coming to Ottumwa, he was teacher and principal at Lemar, and served in the same capacity at Dixon. He then taught in a rural school for two years. The principal of Washington Junior High School, O. W. Fauber, has resided in Ottumwa since 1920. When Mr. Fauber first came here, he was principal of the Emergency High School. Upon completion of the present high school in 1925, however, he became principal of the Wash- ington Junior High School. Mr. Fauber graduated from the Indiana State Normal School, and obtained both his B. A. and M. A. degrees at the University of Iowa. This is only the second year for a junior high school at Stuart. This school accomodates all eighth and ninth grade students on the south side, and eighty-five seventh grade students. All together, there are approximately four hundred and ninety pupils attending this school. The teaching staff is composed of seventeen teachers. Of these, six are new to the Stuart High this year. Besides a well-rounded sports schedule for the boys, there are intramural sports for the girls similar to the high school G. A. A. They play sockcr, kiltenball, and basket- ball. Like the high school, the students of this school publish a year book, which they call The Stuart Booster,” and they elect an active student council. Pagk 54 FRANKLIN This is also the second year for a junior high school at Franklin. Franklin’s system is unique since it consists of all the grades from kindergarten through ninth. Phis junior high school was established only for the pupils of the Franklin school district. In their junior high there are seven teachers. Of these, three are new to the Franklin. Because there is such a small number of pupils in the junior high, the students have many advantages. All seventh and eighth grade students are of- fered four periods, instead of the usual two, of industrial or home makingarts. Despite the size of this group, the boys and girls still have a well rounded athletic program. Here, the girls' chief sport is badminton. This school like the big high”, has a student council. Some of their extra-curricular activities are Drama- tic Club, Journalism Club, and Reading Club. Washington Junior High School, with an enrollment of five hundred and five is the larg- est of Ottumwa’s junior highs. This year, for the first time, there is a group of seventh grade students attending there. They have nineteen teachers; of these four are new to them. The pupils are very fortunate in hav- ing a well-rounded club program. Added to clubs such as Dramatic and Journalism are Personality, Basketry, Folk Dancing, and many others. ★ ★ ★ Row I Charles Brewer, Russell Smithart, Harold McElroy, Ernest Hoover.

S., we present this lxx k. It is our earnest wish that the 1944 Argus Annual will faithfully preserve for you memories of hours spent in work and play within the halls of Ottumwa High School. There are numerous duties to be perform- ed by each staff before the book is completed. The art editor must draw up the “dummy, which serves as a guide to the staff and printer; editorials must Ik- written, typed, and prcxif read; pictures must Ik- taken and individuals identified; space for advertisements, which help finance the lxx k, must be sold; and lastly, the circulation manager must see that the Ixxiks are sold and distributed. All these staffs are under the much-needed guidance of Miss King. The student body also plays its part, for without their splendid cooperation when picture time arrives, a vital part of the book would Ik- missing. This year the staff has taen compelled to work under great difficulties. Due to the war, many necessary supplies have been cur- tailed. We have strived to make this book a success in spite of these difficulties. Page 63 THE ARGUS NEWS Row I Norma Johnson. Norma Sigcl. Doris Robinson, Phyllis Briggs. Sally Rodman.

Through this organization we learn of school events, forthcoming assem- blies, school gossip, and other affairs. With the capable staff doing its best at all times to make each issue better than the last, we may always be assured of a good paper. The News, organi- zed in 1915, has been popularly received bv all the classes of O. II. S. Miss Dorris Creswell, a new instructor in our school has undertaken the supervision ol the News. We are sure that it will be as popular and entertaining as before. Associated with the Argus News is the Argus Daily, a brief account of school-day affairs such as class meetings, student and pay assemblies, and other events. The Daily is distributed by News members during the advisory period Miss Creswell is also the sponsor for this, and Miss Burrish the critic for both the News and the Daily. An aim of each and every member of the staff is membership in the Quill and Scroll or the Arguseers, both national journalistic societies. Those who excel in scholarship, character, English, and service may attain this honor.

DECLAM Ol the numerous extra-curricular activities carried on in our high school, one of the most interesting is Declam. Declam is a great help in the development of a student's personality and his ability to speak with ease and self-assurance before an audience. This organization, we believe, is ideal for any student interested in dramatics. There arc three fields of declam from which a student might choose: dramatic, humorous and oratorical. Still a fourth phase is radio speaking. Not until just recently has this field been developed to any extent. We learned that the students who wish (o be in declam must take part in a local contest, from which the best speakers are chosen. These speakers, if successful, then advance to the county, the sub-district, the district, and the state contests. The final contest, of course, is the national, where those students with an extra amount of ability and talent are found. The Iowa Nine,” another series of contests, has separate sessions for boys and girls to determine the winners of first and second places. In these, O. II. S. is represented by its out- standing speakers. Two other contests considered of great importance are those held at Coe College and Iowa City. The preliminaries of declam contests are held early so that the winners may take part during the actual declam season which doesn’t start until later in the school year. Through- out the rest of the year these contests are held in various cities all over the United States. Under the expert guidance of Miss Dorothy Lindley, the members find that declam is truly one of the most worthwhile organizations in high school. We realize that the students have good reason to be proud of the records left by former declam students and hope that in the future the club’s membership will be increased. Page 66 DEBATE I hereby resolve.” Such an expression can often be heard, as it was heard by us when we visited the Debate Club. Visiting this organization was especially interesting to us, for it was surprising to find the number of things the students learn from debate. First the topic is chosen. After he has thoroughly studied it, the debater has acquired his working knowledge. He also learns how to assemble and arrange information which he will use throughout the debate season. Then he must learn how to deliver his speech in a confident and convincing manner. VVe also learn- ed that Debate Club members do much research work, which is of great value to them. Our visit to Debate Club increased our knowledge of certain subjects, for this club broadens the mind, not only of the debater, but also of the listener. We found this organization had many aims. Its chief purpose is to train the debate team which represents our school. Another aim is to hold together those especially interested in debate, and also those who arc interested in supporting speech work. The National Forensic League, installed in (). II. S. in 1941, is quite active in our school. This organization promotes the interest ol interscholastic debate, oratory, and public speaking. Miss Dorothy Lindlev is the very able adviser of the Debate Club. The following were elected as this year’s officers: president, Ted Gillis; vice-president, Lucille Roberts; secretary, Patricia Click: treasurer, Doris Robinson.

DRAMATIC CLUB The Dramatic Club of 0. II. S., with its approximate membership of one hundred and twenty-five, is one of the busiest extra-cu ricular activities of the school. This club is noted for its ceaseless cooperation to make everything it undertakes a success. The career of a dramatic club member begins with his try-outs. We found this very en- tertaining to watch, due to the number of amusing pantomimes and interesting readings. After being accepted into the club, there are various branches which one may enter; namely, stage craft, make-up, costuming, and stage lighting. Each play production is made possible not only by the cast, but also by the tireless effort the various crews put forth. Many of the club members have never performed before the public.—The only way they can earn the needed five points a semester is to work on one of the crews. At the meeting which we visited we learned how a stage production grows from the ground up. We also learned how the club plans for its other activities, such as the student assemblies. We recall with pleasure the great successes of the plays which were given last year, “Dul- cy, with its light entertainment, and “Best Foot Forward,” with its very large cast, which gave many members an opportunity to show their acting ability. The officers of the present year are: Joan Cummings, president; Virginia Williams, vice- president; Maurine Yoerks, secretary; Bill liinseyv treasurer. Page 68 PLAYERS’ CLUB Among the various organizations in our high school, one of the best known is the Players Club, an inner branch of the Dramatic Club. This club is open to all Dramatic Club members who have earned seventy-five points through their work in this organization. They command the respect of Dramatic Club members whose foremost desire is to attain membership in Players Club. This Club is sometimes referred to as the select group of Dramatic Club, because of the high position it holds. The activities of this honorary club are varied. Three of the most important are the selection of crew managers, the judgment of Dramatic Club try-outs, and the presentation of a play, cast from the members of this group. The officers are: Roger Dalin, Beverly Bragg, Elaine Corbett, and Johnny Dryden; presi- dent, vice-president, secretary, anil treasurer respectively. Miss Arlene Danielson is the adviser for this group.

'flic theme of the play centered around a young automobile salesman who inherited a girls’ school and decided to introduce a new course of education. However, the plot be- came involved when the president of the senior class fell in love with him. The ensuing dif- ficulties furnished first class entertainment for everyone who saw the production. Much credit should Ik given to Constance Morrell and John Drvdcn for their portrayal of the leading roles. Other members of the cast whose excellent performances cannot be over-looked were Joan Cummings, Albert Bruce, and Bill Hinsey. Cast of Characters Austin Bevans.. . David JlacKenzic.

The pageant was especially beautiful this year. The chorus sang as the night of Christ's birth was portrayed in the various tableaux: Worship of the Shepherds, The Holy Family Worship of the Angels, “Worship of the Magi and Adoration of the World. ’ The central theme of the set was Peace on Earth, and the stage crews deserve much credit for their artistic presentation of this theme. We were pleased to note that the chorus had added many new songs to its repertoire. The special vocal groups added their bit by singing several carols. Along with all the students in (). II. S., we laud Miss Aas, the chorus director, and Miss Danielson, the dramatic coach, for with- out their expert direction, the pageant would not have been the success it was.

MIXED CHORUS One of the most outstanding organizations in Ottumwa High School is the Mixed Chorus, composed of approximately one hundred stu- dents. We learned that to become a member, a student must have a good voice and a sense of pitch. Under the expert direction of Miss Aas, the chorus presents numerous programs for the public. For each appearance, whether it is a school program or a performance be- fore a civic organization, the chorus members receive a certain number of activity points. Miss Aas explained that if a member ac- quires one thousand points, he is awarded a letter for his efforts. The faithful accompanist is Doris Wood- rich. The officers are Bill Shumaker, presi- dent; Iris Weekly, vice-president; and Pa- tricia Click, secretary. Miss Aas works out some hard spots in the operetta. Page 72 Trio Dorothy Yoerks. Marilyn Vaughan. Betty Lecdom. Barbara Thurlow, pianist. In the Small Vocal Groups we found the more talented students of the music depart- ment. From the members of Mixed Chorus the three selected this year arc the girls’ trio, quartette, and sextette. It is not necessary for the members of these organizations to possess exceptional voices, but upon hearing them, we Knew that the quality must be especially good. These girls are constantly in demand to furnish enter- tainment for civic organizations in our city as well as performances at school. After hear- ing their fine artisitc presentations of best- loved songs and ballads, we learned that it is the result of enthusiastic practice. We also discovered that we had not previously realized the time and effort pul forth by the members. O. II. S. is fortunate in having such select groups, which are under the expert direction of Miss Selma Aas. SMALL VOCAL GROUPS Sextette Marjorie Greenwood, Bobby Jean Bailey, pianist; Donna Rac Peter- son.

We learned that anv student demonstrating enough talent and ability with a musical instrument is permitted to be a member. Many times during the school year, the orchestra is heard by both the students and the public, since it is asked to play before and between acts of Dramatic Club plays, for Open I louse, 1 ligh School Night, Christmas and Flag Day Programs, Baccalaureate, Commencement, and lor many civic organizations. In normal times, the orchestra makes an annual trip to Iowa City for the State Music Contest, and, if granted an invitation, attends the Iowa State Music Festival. We believe that these trips olTer great opportunities to the students. At the music festival, the orchestra is given an audition and is judged by some well-known orchestra leader. This audition is not the only advantage of the music festival, however, for here the orchestra members have the privilege of listening to other high school orchestras and the excellent music of (he University of Iowa's Orchestra; thus, members are inspired to get down to business and strive for a place in the world of music. We were surprised to note that only on Tuesdays and Thursdays are all the members ol the orchestra present; other days section rehearsals are held. This year the orchestra, as well as playing the standard classics, is playing a new type of music—classical jazz ' Gail Boyce is the very capable student director. Pace 74 BAND The Ottumwa High School Band is very large this year; there are approximately eighty members. We believe that the students are eager to be band members, although it sometimes means marching in all kinds of weather and being late to classes due to early morning prac- tices out at Schaefer Field. The band’s playing at pep chapels, marching in parades, perform- ing at football games, and presenting spring concerts thrill the musicians as well as the specta- tors. We do know, however, that the band is not all work and no play, for in normal times, Prof (their patient and capable leader, Mr. Dayton) and his paraders attend the state musical festival. When the war is over, it is probable that trips to the state festival at Iowa City will be resumed. Then, too, in the spring, the Band Mothers sponsor a gala party, con- sisting of games, dancing, and most important to band members —food. Junior high and grade school students also receive valuable experience under Mr. Dayton's baton. Roger Dalin, the drum major, is assisted by Gene Allender. Bcttimac Barton and Lola Orman exhibit their ability as majorettes. The officers for this year, elected by the band members are: Roger Dalin, president; Harry Trigg, vice-president; and Bobbie Jean Bailey, secretary. Row I Lola Orman.

Their purpose: “To create, maintain, and attain throughout the school and community high standards of Christian character, is carried out to a “T by most of the fifty boys. We also learned that this pledge and spirit is not merely a local affair. Nearly every community in America has a Hi-Y club. A topic of this year's national convention was: “Mow to extend Ili-Y to foreign countries after the war. This year twelve Ottumwans attended the district conference at Oskaloosa where they elected Earl Winkelmen 1 c 44 convention chairman. These district conferences offer to clubs all over the state the activities of other clubs. New ideas are authorized, and all in all the representatives come back better equipped to face life's problems. Then too, Ottumwans plan to attend the national Ili-Y conference if transportation is available. In addition to attending these conventions, the Ili-Y bovs give other time and labor to the school and community. Thev have some very bright social spots on their calendar also. Parent-son banquets come annually. A Hi-Y party and picnic are never left out. With all this to do we noticed the boys' delight when time for sponsoring the homecoming arrives. They organize committees for the parade, queen election, and dance; then they swing into “full shift. Even though the job is big, the boys nevertheless enjoy doing it. The planning of all this comes under the cabinet and advisers, Paul Hickman of the “Y. M. and Mr. Hamlcy of 0. H. S. Pack 76 HI-TRI Ili-Tri is the girls’ equivalent of Ili-Y. This year the club offers much in the way of en- tertainment and recreation for every girl in this high school. This, perhaps, accounts for the fact that the membership this year exceeds that of any other year. We learned through Mrs. Bennett, the club adviser, that most of the girls are active par- ticipants in many sports and are equally interested in developing their personality and char- acter for future leadership. Meetings are held every two weeks, with Mary Louise Glattfelder presiding as president, Patricia Young as vice-president, Betty Crosson as secretary, and Mary Cassat as treasurer. The Candlelight Service, given by the old members to welcome in the new, is an outstanding event of the club. The many parties held each year enable the girls to become better acquainted. Of these parties, probably the best liked is the Mother-Daughter Banquet given at the close of the school year. We feel the Ili-Tri is a very worthy organization, and we urge the girls in (). II. S. to sup- port it. Row I Brooks. Lov, Garrison, Smith. Mottet, Buckley, Anderson. Lasley, Lynch, Lundhcrg. Brown, Agee, Curran. Shelton, Savage. Briggs, Lcwzadcr, Hansen, Ask, Hodges.

ART CLUB This year the Art Club has a new director. Miss Eighme, who is Miss Daniels’ successor. During an interview with her we were told concerning the interests and amusements of tlie club. It seems that the club is not organized for the sole purpose of studying art, but also for the purpose of developing one’s talents more fully. In this way a better appreciation of art is acquired. Each member of the club learns to express his own ideas and interests in his work. The encouragement of originality tends to make each student more aware of its importance. In producing a masterpiece, a student must spend much time and patience in order to accomplish what he has undertaken. Their drawings are displayed in our halls at various times during the year. The only reward for the student is his own satisfaction and enjoyment. Perhaps many of the members will be our future artists. We were also informed that there has been an increased enrollment during the last few years. This club is a haven for every artistic-minded student in high school. Many of their meetings were formerly held at the Art Center, when it was one of our civic enjoyments Besides the art work, tlie members enjoy parties held at various times during the year. Their social chairman is Evelyn Swift With tlie help of Miss Eighme several social functions were planned for the year. The officers are: president, Beverly Weems; vice-president, Ramona Areingdale; secretary- treasurer, Robert Davis. Pack 78 COMMERCIAL CLUB While attending a meeting of the Commercial Club we learned that it was organized for students who are enrolled in the various commercial classes, and who wish to learn still more about the intricacies of business This is accomplished by discussing business problems at the club meetings held twice a month. To gain more knowledge about business life, many of the members work in the down-town stores This gives them experience and training of prac- tical value Many of the students who volunteer to work in the stores continue to do so after the school year has ended. In this way they come into contact with civic life, which is a part of their training. We were also told about the Iowa State Commercial Contest, which is held each year for the students who wish to compete against others in typewriting and shorthand contests. Members who are outstanding in either or both are given a chance to test their versatility against other students. We believe that this arouses in them a competitive spirit, which is essential for them to become outstanding in the business world. This club is not all work, however. For the past few years, parties have been given which do much to further a student's interest in the club. The adviser of the club was Mr. Bell, who was called into service. Mrs. Wilson, who takes his work is now the club adviser. The club's officers are: president. Helen Pottorff; vice-president. Iris Wceklev; secretary. Jack Townsend; treasurer, Katherine Dorothy.

LIBRARIANS’ CLUB One of the chief educational assets of our school is the library, which is under the expert management of the Librarians' Club. We soon learned that fiction anil research lx)oks, biographies, in fact, almost any type of book can lx found in our library, plus a wide assortment of magazines and newspapers. Miss Gallanar, the head librarian and director of the Librarians' Club, told us that the club members give their time freely to library work; they issue books, type, file, and sec that the books are kept-in order. Even though the library is a place of much activity, the library courtesy of silence is al- ways observed. Students have access to the library at almost any time of the school day. The officers of the club for this year are; president. Bill Frazer; vice-president, Ted Metz; secretary-treasurer, Caroline McElroy. Librarians—D. Frcshour, P. Kcltner, M. Lane, M. Welch checking out books. Pace 80 One of the most flourishing clubs we found in (). M. S. was the Home Economics Club, under the supervision oi Miss Clare Kasischke. It is perhaps one of the most practical and educational clubs in our high school since it deals with homemaking in every sense of the word. The girls who are members of this club will have useful knowledge to adapt to later life. The I lome Economics Club was founded to develop interest in the arts of domestic science. Those who are taking the home ec- onomics course are free to join the club if their average for the first six weeks of the semester is at least eighty-five. To aid Miss Kasischke in the club's ac- tivities are the following officers: president, Elva Lou Buckley; vice-president, Ro .ella Bower; secretary, Mary C. Mottet; treasurer, Betty Breckenridge; program chairman, Donna Caster. HOME ECONOMICS CLUB Row' I -Clara Collin. Phyllis Heady. Wilma Free, Dorothy Agee, Daphine Brown.

SPANISH CLUB Because of the increased interest shown in our South American neighbors, we found the Spanish Club has grown rapidly during the past few years. Many times during the senool year this group gets together and has entertainments of many kinds, both educational and social. Whenever they have the opportunity, the club members hear lectures and see motion pictures concerning Spain or countries whicn speak the Spanish language. If a member has ever been so fortunate as to visit Mexico, or some country “south of the border,” reports of his experiences and observations are greatly in demand by his fellow members. Along with these educational programs, the members follow a course of study about the life and customs of Latin American Nations. Besides their more serious pro- grams, this club has always had many parties and picnics. Upon visiting one ot these parties we heard the students speaking Spanish only. This is a great asset in learning to speak the language as well as to read and write it. We knew that Mr. Hamley, adviser of this club, had long been known for his Spanish songs. This year we were favored with the opportunity of hearing some ol them. With the singing of these songs, the Spanish Club contributed to the program in Open House night. The membership in this club requires only a passing grade in Spanish. The motto of the club, “once a member, always a member,” applies to the former Spanish Club members. We found this club very fun-loving, but still very educational. Page 82 FUTURE TEACHERS of AMERICA Upon interviewing Miss Standing, the adviser of the F. I . A., we were told much about this club. The F. T. A., which is the abbreviated form of Future Teachers of America, was organized for students who are planning to be our future teachers. There are few schools that do not have a group of students who are interested in this profession. This club furthers a student's interest in teaching and provides additional knowledge along this line. The club is a part of the state organization called the Iowa Federation of Prospective Teachers of Ameri- ca, and also a part of the national teachers’ organization. The sending of representatives to the district meetings offers, we believe, a grand opportunity for some of the members. The program followed by the local chapter is that of the national teachers’ organization. We were also informed that to be eligible for membership in this club, a student must be in his junior or senior year and must be taking a normal training course. Educational pro- jects and practical experience in teaching offered bv the club help acquaint students with the responsibilities of being our future teachers. One of the projects which the members have undertaken this year is the making of scrap- books for Sunnvslope. Many of the students volunteer to be in charge of the story hour held once a week at the public library. Appearing before groups of children gives them practical experience of no little value. Though the purpose of the club is to learn more about the teaching profession, there is also a social aspect. Parties and picnics are held at various times during the year. This year they planned a Christmas party for young children. The ofTiccrs of the club this year are: president, LaVonne Wilkinson; vice-president, Paul- ine Bacon; treasurer, Dorothy Right; secretary, Betty Guthrie.

Tiede Looking back over the years we find that Coach Marklev graduated from Grinncll College We also discover that lor ten years he was head coach in Oskaloosa. After Coach Newell went into the service. Marklev accepted the position a Ottumwa’s head football coach. They tell us that lie is well liked in (). 11. S. halls for his ever-present smile anil words of encouragement. As we look around in the athletic department of O. II. S. we sec Fred Maasdam, who is the boys' physical education director. I le tells us that he is a graduate of Parsons College. Mr. Maasdam coached at Richland, Washington, and Packwood respectively, liefore coming to Ottumwa. I le is line coach in football, and assists Mr. Marklev. Our winning sophomore basketball teams have him to thank for their success throughout the year. We find that Mr. Bollman graduated from Penn College. Since then he has coached Ottumwa teams for several years. The sophomore football teams, under his guidance, have had many suc- cessful seasons. When Mr. Kaltenbach left O. 11. S., the duties of head basketball coach fell to Bud . In the latter half of the 42-'43 season, he proved that he was able to take Butch's place. Mr. Tiede is the financial and business manager of O. II. S. athletic teams. He is in charge of arrangements for out-of-town contests, ticket selling, reserved seats, ushers, officials, and the many pre-game duties. Mr. Tiede can be seen hurrying about, taking care to see that all goes smoothly. He deserves a lot of credit for our school's athletic success. Page 90 FOOTBALL SQUAD Before the opening of the 1945 season Ottumwa looked to be “just another outfit. Some had them winning, if they were lucky, only half of their games. Came the close of the season and the critics were humming a different tune. Ottumwa had to its credit nine wins, without a defeat or a lie and hail become one of the twelve high schools to claim a share of the mythical state champion- ship. Only once during the season, and that due to a mental letdown, were the Bulldogs pressed for their victory. Many spectators would like to see this team continue in a state championship series. It was under the able direction of the coaches, Marklev and Maasdam, that the ’45 version of the Bulldogs attained the Little Six and mythical slate championships. To attain these honors was not a simple job. During the season five members ol the starting line were lost from the team. Uncle Sam took two good ends. But! Fredrickson and Dallas Traxler; Ken Bailey left school; Ice- land Guiter was put out of action because of a broken leg and Bill Shumaker was kept out because of a knee injury. Other boys were worked into starting berths and the end of the season found the team no weaker than it was at the start. The Ottumwa fans as well as the high school students take their hats off to a successful team and its coaches.

On February twenty-second our school was saddened by the death of James Line- baugh, a senior member of the football team. Jim was very quiet and his football ability was not discovered until his senior year. Go- ing out for football for the first time this fall, he made remarkable progress as a guard and earned a varsity letter. I le was very well-liked by his classmates, and his loss is very keenly felt by all who knew him. Sidney Yahn James McClure Charles Eckroat Dave Williams Clare Farrington Jack Davis Bob J.

TRACK As we look back on last year’s “thinclads” we see that Coach Maasdam’s boys had only an average year. At the Fort Madison Relays Carnival. Ottumwa captured fifth place; however, Dave Williams, Ottumwa’s number one track man, broke the twelve pound shotput record with a throw that gave him first place. Other clippings tell us that in the Little Six Outdoor events Ot- tumwa tied with Muscatine for fourth place. “Big Dave again shattered records bv spinning the discus to a point, inches farther than the existing Iowa prep record, and boosting the shot to a mark never l efore equaled in league history. Joe Wilford took first place in the mile, while “Chuck” Eckroat won first place in the pole vault Although Ray Davidson took only third place in the broad jump, his leap marked him as a “comer” in this event. The two mile relay record set by Ottumwa in 1941 was shattered by Fairfield. In the District Meet held at Oskaloosa, second place went to Ottumwa. As before, Dave Wil- liams look first place in the discus and shotput. In Dual Meets the Maasdam-coached team seem- ed unbeatable. They managed to roll over such teams as Albia, Oskaloosa, and Fairfield. Mr. Maasdam, accompanied by several of his best lads, made the trip to Ames. I Iere Dave Williams performed the best of the season. He took first place in the shotput and the discus. The steel plate sailed over a foot and a half farther than in the former meet. That's quite a record for one man, and he'll be back this year. Page 94 BASKETBALL (). I I. S. cagers rang up another successful year on the hardcourt by capturing twentv-one out of twenty-four games against the toughest competition in the state. Phis consistent, high caliber playing brought us three coveted crowns: a tie for the Little Six, and both the sectional and district. Those three losses on the Bulldog ledger can also be explained. Two were to the Muscatine Musk- ies and they were later avenged in the sub-state tournament when the Bulldogs fought their way to a 22 20 victory. The other was in the sub-state to a Burlington team, which we had previously topped twice. The 1943-44 season was one of many thrills for 0 IIS. fans. It will be a long time Ijefore this season's Conference race will l e forgotten. 'Tight as a closed vise throughout, the Bulldogs finally finished in a three-way tie with Burlington and Muscatine. During that race, Burlington beat Muscatine twice. Muscatine beat Ottumwa twice, and Ottumwa beat Burlington twice. We will also not be likely to forget the uphill struggle of the Bulldogs in their first game with Burlington. Trailing 26 20 at the third quarter, the Bulldogs led with a score of 32 27 at the finish. The same was true of the third Muscatine scrap. In that game the Bulldogs were trailing 18 7 and still they finished with a victory. Five boys have donned their uniforms the last time for Ottumwa High. Two of these, Ray Davidson anti Dave Williams, are probably the greatest guards that ever worked on one team at the same time. The other three seniors, Ted Simpson, Keith Wymore and Bill Shumaker, served faithfully as reserves. Row I -Bill Toole, student mgr.; Paul Hagglund, Ted Simpson, George Boone. Jim Van Antwerp.

Ottumwa has always come up with a successful golf team, but never before have they been able to win the title, though several times they have come close. This jyear was a bit different; paced by Charlie Taylor, the Bulldogs went into the meet “underdogs,’ but came out with a new state team record, plus an individual record set by Charlie Taylor, state medalist. The championship was won over a course which had the reputation of being the toughest in the entire midwest, the Iowa State College course. The Bulldogs had been working toward the state title all spring by going through a rough schedule, unbeaten, and by setting a new team record, three hundred and one. During their schedule the Bulldogs shoved aside both Oskaloosa, and Keokuk in dual meets. In a triangular affair they smothered” two Des Moines teams and won the Keokuk invitational. They then took their seventh straight Little Six Conference title, and “Chuck” Taylor received his fourth consecu- tive medalist crown. In qualifying for state tournament play they easily captured the district meet. One highlight of the (). II. S. ’43 team was the large amount of reserve power. There were always three or four boys fighting for the fourth position, and each eventually got his chance to play in a meet. Another highlight was Taylor's magnificient play throughout the year. In winning the Little Six medalist honors he fired” an even par, seventy-one, and in capturing the state medalist honors he “fired” an eighty, which is the lowest score ever shot on the Ames Course by a high school student. Page 98 CHEER LEADERS We noticed this year that many novel ideas were introduced by the new cheerleaders. In the first place the manner in which they were chosen was changed. Before, any student who wished to become a cheerleader was required to lead the student body in a yell at a pep assembly. The students then voted for the four they thought best. This year the candidates were “weeded ’ out at an early trial befor a group of faculty members, then they were elected by the student body at a pep assembly. Instead of having just four leaders, as has been the custom, eight were chosen; four on the first team and four on (he second. There is very little distinction between (lie two teams since they have many similar duties. The new leaders were coached by Mrs. James. We believe (hat she did her job exceptionally well. With her help the cheerleaders worked out several new yells, which they introduced to the students at various times during the year. They also presented a number of amusing skits at pep chapels. We especially noticed the first team’s attractive new uniforms. Even more outstanding was the conduct of the entire group at the games. These cheerleaders, with one supreme idea in mind, that of winning the annual Little Six good-sportsmanship award for Ottumwa, did an exceptionally fine job. They immediately ruled out “booing” and jeering in the student section. They started applause for the opponents as well as for the home team. The purpose of the cheerleaders is to inspire enough pep to help carry our team to victory, and we feel justified in saying that the leaders this year certainly did achieve their goal.

The purpose of this club is to pro- mote athletics not only for enjoyment, but also for excellent health training. Miss Bernau. the physical education teacher, supervises approximately seventy girls in this local chapter. All the members work hard to obtain a letter “0”, which is awarded after a girl has earned live hundred points. She may earn these points by taking part in any sport she desires, but only one-third of these points may l c earned in any one sport. We were told that points also may be earned by the display of skill in American Red Cross swimming tests, self-testing, leadership, and sportsmanship. When a girl has been awarded her letter, and has earned five hundred additional points, she may obtain a state G. A. A. pin. One night after school, we watched the girls engaging in their different activities in the gym. They played table tennis, hit-pin ball, badminton, volley ball, and did some folk dancing. We discovered that basketball was just recently added to the list of the girls' sports. For their games the girls choose teams, elect a captain, and play in tournaments similar to the boys' intramurals. We were told by the president that some of the girls perform in the water pageant which is given annually, although it is not sponsored by the club. The officers elected for this year are: Dorothy Cloud, president; Betty Leedom, vice-president; Lois Donaldson, point-president; Marcella IIalloerg, secretary-treasurer; and Jean Shelton, his- torian. Pack 100 SHARK CLUB Included in the few organizations dealing with girls' athletics is Shark Club, which is an honor swimming society. We found it consists of girls who are especially outstanding in that field of sjxirts. 'Phe tryouts which are held at the beginning of each semester are very rigid. Thus we learned the reason for the club's high standards. 'Phe membership this year was large, as fifteen new members were taken in, making the total membership thirty-five. These girls arc required to pass Junior Life Saving tests during the first year of their membership, thus enabling them to act as life guards, or as assistants in one of the girls’ swimming classes. We also learned that this year the girls have had competitive swimming meets, in both form and racing swimming. This gives them an incentive to improve their strokes. We can easily recall that the annual water pageant is the highlight of the club's activities. The show is planned along a definite theme. The costumes, decorations, and music all blend to- gether, adding to the success of the show. Included in this pageant are stroke drills and rhythm swimming, plain and fancy diving, water formations, floating, humorous stunts, and life saving demonstrations. We consider this to be one of he most outstanding entertainments during the school year. Miss Faye Wensel, a newcomer to 0. II. S.. has been very successful in her first year as the in- structor for this group.

In every worth while product, there is one indispensa- ble element. . . the sincerity and fidelity of its maker. And that, wc believe, includes the selection and training of men and the skillful use of raw materials. The men who transform pork anti beef into the finish- ed Morrell Meat Products are craftsmen just as surely as those who work with wood or metal, only their skill is keyed to standards of fine flavor, expert trimming and cleanliness. These Morrell craftsmen have the priceless guidance of Morrell's 117 years of experience, which began in Bradford, Yorkshire, England, in 1827. They work with the most modern facilities and equipment. But, most important of all, they have constantly l e- fore them the traditional ideals of the 1 louse of Morrell which have always placet! quality and craftsmanship far above mere volume.
