The Staff, on behalf of the Senior Class, presents MYQ an E. bAV'l8 THE 1939 IU The Yearbook of TAMA I-IIGI-I SCHOOL TAMA, 1oWA IHZN NfH HE COINIPLETION of the Tama High School building is a realization of a desire of the people of Tama for a modern building adequate to meet the educational demands of the present day. Civilization constantly changes and places addi- tional responsibilities upon each succeeding genera- tion. Educational facilities must be so arranged that education may serve its purpose in a changing society. Just as office buildings, dwellings, and factories bc- come outmoded because of new inventions and better ways of arranging rooms and other areas to meet the needs and activities of the occupants, so do school buildings with the passing of time become inadequate for the modern educational procedures and the newer standards of pupil comfort and health. Aesthetic sur- roundings are a potent force in influencing the forma- tion of a child's character. School rooms that are well lighted and ventilated and that have artistic ap- pearances leave good and lasting impressions upon the minds of the pupils who occupy them. This line of reasoning and the realization that the children are the community's best asset, in whose welfare a community can make its best investment, guided the members of the Board of Education in planning the new Tama High School. The building is considered one of the most beau- tiful and modern school structures in Iowa. The peo- ple of our community, the student body, and the school faculty have expressed their satisfaction over its completeness and utility. Dr. Eugene A. Gilmore, President of the University of Iowa, who gave the main address at the dedication services, said, Here is this beautiful building, a thing of joy and pride. VVe share your pride and satisfaction in the successful completion of this great civic enterprise. It means li CHUDL much to you of the present generation. It will mean much to the hundreds of boys and girls of this com- munity in the years to come. The structure of the outer walls is reinforced monolithic concrete. The materials used for finishing are, as a whole, fire-resisting, which gives the build- ing a Class A fire rating. The combination gymnasi- um-auditorium, vocational homemaking and manual arts departments, and the rooms to accommodate in- struction in the academic subjects will adequately meet the problem of housing a program of studies for a secondary school which offers both cultural and vo- cational educational training. The building can readi- ly be adapted to fit future changes of the secondary school curriculum. The aim of combining beauty, util- ity, permanence, economy in maintenance, fire-resist- ance, safety and comfort for tl1e occupants, and adapt- ability to changes, has been successfully achieved. It is hoped that we have built more than a school, a place where young, growing boys and girls may devel- op in a wholesome environment and be prepared for life's work. Bruce Barton has said, In times like these, invest in boys and girls. Men talk about buying stocks at the bottom. VVhen you invest in boys or girls, you are always buying at the bottom. You are sure that the youngster is growing up and there is no telling how far. I invite every man and woman in America to take a flyer in Childhood Preferred. I predict a great future for their security. It has an investment merit combined with the most exciting speculative possibilities. You are sure to get a man or a woman. You may get a great man or a great womanf, This building is a tribute to the foresight of the Board of Education and to the progressive thinking of the people of Tama. DEDICAT UN Miss Jean Downing I9l2-l938 IT is with a deeper feeling than usual that the Senior Class approaches the dedicaa tion of its Iuka. .lust short of mid-year, death took from us our beloved class sponf sor and friend, Miss .lean Downing. 'l'llCl'C- by our task of dedication was made both easy and difficult, for what can one say that will do justice to SllCll a fine teacher, friend, and pal? VVe, the Senior Class, have felt the loss of Miss Downing keenly, both in class projects and in general school activities. YVe have missed her cheerful smile, her encouragement, l1er leadership. Our high school days have been so much richer, so much happier because of her work among us. Long after other memo- ries of high school days have left us, the many memories of the short time Miss Downing was with us will live on. It is our sincere hope that we have made in this book an object Worthy of dedication to so fine a person, and tr11st that as a class, we may be true to l1er ideals. This book, therefore, we respectfully dedicate to the memory of Miss Jean Downing. I cannot say, and I will not say That she is dead-She is just away! With a cheery smile, and a wave of the hand, She has wandered into an unknown land And left us dreaming how very fair It needs must be, since she lingers there. Hue:-I SCHOOL E. H.

HE Class of 1939 is the first class to be graduated from the new school building. During the last four years we have had many happy times together. VVe have learned many profitable things and have enjoyed working with each other and with thelfaculty. In September, 1935, our class began its high school ca- reer. The most exciting event of our freshman year was the party at which the sophomores entertained and initiat- ed us. Our class was represented at Science Day, Veishea, the Home Project Confelrence at Ames, and at the State Home Economics Convention at Iowa City. Mr. Hunger- ford was class sponsorg Neil Scott, class presidentg Kay Tenhoff, vicepresidentg and .Ioan Booth, secretary and Dwarfs. Miss VVhitmore was again class sponsor, Clifford Porter, presidentg Meredith Hynek, vice presidentg and Janet Sweazey, Our senior secretary-treasurer. year was the year for us when the most important and exciting things happened. VVe were the last senior class to first to attend Club, Sextette- alyn Vobornik, district contest attend school in the old building and the school in the new. This year Tama's Glee including seniors, Janet Sweazey and Mad- and two soloists won superiors at the sub- in Vinton. Many seniors attended the Vo- treasurer. During the sophomore year, came the Lincoln Essays, Josephine Griswold winning first prize. That year we had our chance to entertain the freshmen gym. Many of our members helped Carnival. Miss VVhitmore was class presidentg Richard lVlcCaulley, vice at a party held in the at the Hubble-Bubble sponsorg Paul Pagel, presidentg and Mary Ellen Kupka, secretary-treasurer. The great event of 1938 was the Junior-Senior Dinner Dance. VVe sold candy and tickets to a movie and put on one-act plays to raise the money. The party was held in the gym, the theme being Snow VVhite and the Seven cational Conference at Marshalltown. The Iuka Staff with Helen VVilson as editor published the Iuka. The senior class play went into production the first part of April. Then the end of the year, with skip day,'l Commencement, Bac- calaureate, and Class Night. Miss Downing and later Miss Bond were senior class sponsorsg Richard Abbe, presidentg Ray Tenhoff, treasurerg Madalyn Vobornlk, secretary, Jack Spooner, vice president. Although this year was our happiest, it was also our saddest for it marked the passing of Miss Downing, our class sponsor and favorite teacher. During our four years in high school we gave our sup- port to athletics, music, scholarship, and school clubs. VVe feel that these have been profitable days. VVe hope that the classes that follow will appreciate and enjoy Tama High School as we have.

Just imagine, upperclassmen, if you can, no underclassmen crowding you against the walls in . the hall, jahhing you in the back, arm or elsewhere, with a sharp pencil or pen, pounding you on the back, slamming your locker slmt, fpoor you, already late to class and having to work laboriously over that combination againj and bothering you with their incessant giggling, Now, don't you honestly think it would seem strange? Maybe the strangeness would seem nice, but of course with your intelligence you wouldn't mention these shortcomings. All nonsense aside, the underclassmen form the majority of the student body and are really neces- sary and must be considered so by everyone. That the freshmen have proved as green as ever, sometimes a little more so, seems to be the opin- ion of the higher classes. But many have participated in Glee Club and all athletics. A small mixed vocal group was formed by freshman boys and girls alone this year under the direction of Miss Sher- man and Mr. Hurley. Another pat on the back for the freshmen is that they won over the Seniors in the inter-class basketball teams. Next in line come the sophomores. This class has been especially prominent in athletics because of its famous Blond Bomber. But Milo is not the only one who has proved excellent in athletics from this class, as many have worked to make the teams of Tama bring home the bacon. This class has also been well represented in Sextet, Mixed Chorus, and Glee Club. The Juniors falmost upperclassmenj have been excellently represented in every outside activity in school. They have given Tama two soloists, Louise Crumb and Roberta Lauderdale, who have won honors at the District Music Contests. They have been represented in Glee Club, Sextet, and Mixed Chorus. They have also produced exceptional athletes, as five major letters in basketball went to the Juniors. This surely proves that now and in the years to come Tama may well be proud of her under- classmen. 2nd Row: Q. Power, A, Neil. Bottom Row: M. Zhorne, Top Row: D. Burnes, E. Houdyshell, W N. J. Whitten Junior Class This vear's Junior Class is composed of fifty-eight enthusiastic students who figure prominently in most of the school activities. Among the outstanding class achievements, an excellent comedy, A Ready-Made Family, wasproduced. The junior class team won the inter-class basketballtournament. A large number of juniors were mem- bers of the Girls' Glee Club. The two soloists, who won superior rating, Roberta Lauderdale and Louise Crumb, were Juniors. As a climax to the year's work, the class entertained the Seniors at a very successful Junior-Senior Prom. Sophomore Class Having had the first taste of high sehool life last year, the sixty-six sophomores are showing signs of taking the place of the upper classmen as they move along toward graduation. The class is represented in music, athletics, and organization activities. A number of class members belong to the Girl Scouts or Boy Scouts. Many of them participated in a Lincoln lissay Contest sponsored by the American Legion. Alto- gether it has been a busy and profitable year. Among the talented musicians of the sophomore class is Catherine Power. Milo Quigley, the Blonde Bomber, is among the sophomore athletic stars. VVarren Robeson is one of the editors for boys' athletics on the News Staff. The winners of the Lincoln l'lssay Contest, lithel XViller, Catherine Power, and Eloise Church, were awarded medals. The class intends to keep on helping Tama lligh School in every possible way and hopes that Tama will always have cause to be proud of its class of WI. JVNIOR CLASS- Baek Row: C, Davenport, D.

YVhile they did not have as much assistance in the process from the upper classiuen as might have heen expected, yet the passing months have conspired to wear off a few of the eighth-gradish rough edges. They have displayed a great deal of interest in school activities, and with a year's experience the school looks forward to increasing usefulness on the part of the lneinbers of this year's freshman class. The Freslunan-Sophomore party held in the spring was a social high spot of the year. Class Sponsors The Class Sponsors are elected fronianiong the lligh School teachers hy popular vote of each class. Their responsibility is to direct the activities of their respective groups, and frequently this requires much thought and time. The classes this year have been fortu- nate to have chosen sponsors who could con- trihute so much to the success of class ac- tivities. Miss Bond directed Senior activities dur- ing the second seiuesterg Miss Trcvett was the Junior sponsorg Mr. Vanderlinden saw to the Sophomore needs: and Mr. Miller piloted the Frosh through their uncharted seas. M 11.1.1-:R Boxn Tiuzvi-:1 r XYANDI-IRLINDEN RICHARD ABBE has been a student in Tama High School for only one year. In that time he has made many friends and taken part in many activities. He is President of the Senior Class. He has been a capable and dependable leader in student activities in his short time at T. H. S. MEREDITH HYNEK is the editor of the Tama High School News-Herald. She is ac- tive also in the Katherine McKay Club, of which she is secretary, Filmfanatic Club, Glee Club, and on the Iuka Staff. MARY ELLEN KUPKA is one of the highest ranking students in scholarship, at the same time being active in several organizations. She has kept busy, furthermore, as a reporter on both the News Staff and the Iuka. NEIL SCOTT has been a leader in his class throughout his high school days. He has been promi- nent in athletics, and this year, he has performed a real service as Business Manager of the Iuka. National Honor Society I939 The purpose of the National Honor So- ciety is to recognize outstanding student abil- ity and leadership. Fifteen per cent of the senior class is elected every year by the fac- ulty council. Membership in the society is based on character, scholarship, leadership, and service. The torch, which is the symbol of the society, signifies the high standards which the society upholds. On this page, we are presenting this year's members of the Honor Society. MADALYN VOBORNIK has been interested chiefly in music. She is a pianist, a mem- ber of the Girls' Glee Club, and the girls' sextet, and has also done some solo work. She was Secretary of the Senior Class. HELEN VVILSON is the capable and conscientious Editor of the Iuka. She has given largely of her time to the preparation of the book without neglecting either her other activities or her class work. She has been active in many phases of school life during her High School years. ACTIVITIES are very necessary in the scheme of modern education. Participation in the vari- ous organizations enables the student to become a well-rounded individual both socially and mentally. Furthermore, extra-curricular activities enable the student to develop personality. The ability to work with others is one of the traits that can be acquired. Some young peo- ple are unable to get along with those with whom they come in contact, but all students learn to cooperate and to work together in club projects. Those who are fortunate enough to have the capacity for leadership are able to develop and make the most of it. These students are given this opportunity as officers of organizations and in committee work. Some boys and girls are unable to make friends easily. Membership in organizations helps to solve this problem for the student comes in closer contact with a number of young people who have interests that are similar. These and other traits may be acquired if the student enters club work with a determination to work for the good of those organizations to which he belongs. Vi'e students of Tama High School are especially fortu- nate in that we have a large number of organizations repre- sented. Among them, every student is able to find some- thing in which he is interested, and for which he is willing to work. The entire school year is filled with the interesting work that is done by the organizations. Picnics, parties, suppers, and formal dinners fill the school calendar. Two organizations which are restricted to girls are the Kay McKay Club and the Girls' Ath- letic Association. The Kay McKay Club furnishes a four year social and educational program for high school girls while the G. A. A. provides an extensive program of physical development for girls. VVould-be rural teachers have their own organization, The Normal Training Club, which is open to all Junior and Senior Normal Training students. High School students who are interested in obtaining pictures and the developing and print- ing of those pictures may belong to one of thenewest clubs, The Filmfanatic Club. The News Staff enables the student to test his skill in preparing copy for the printer. Each year all of the senior News Staff members are given the opportunity to spend a week at the News-Herald publishing the paper. The Iuka Staff provides an opportunity to learn how an annual is prepared for the engraver and printer. Education is not only a process of filling the mind, but also a means of self-expression for the individual student. It is in fulfilling the second of these aims that the necessity of organi- zations and extra-curricular activities is so apparent. Activity is the key to modern educational efficiency. The students of Tama High School are very grateful to those teachers who give so gener- ously of their time and effort to these organizations and it is to be hoped that in the future more students will use the advantages and opportunities which are provided for them.

Plans were form- ulated in the fall to make this book one of the best. These plans included an increased number of pages, longer write-ups and many more pictures. Placing the pictures on the pages without the customary white bor- ders was partially continued from IIIJX Iuka in accord- ance with the modern trend. The new high school build' ing furnished many new and different subjects for snaps shots. The aim of the photographic staff was to include as many students as possible in thc snapshots, and to por- tray phases of classroom activity. IUKA STAFF Griswold, D. Dunlap.

A very interesting and amusing Iuka as- sembly was given, and explanatory speeches convinced a large percentage of the audience as to the wisdom of purchasing an Iuka. Mr. Hurley contributed to the pho- tographic work, page lay-outs, and the inclusion of new features, and supervised the production of the book. .X new departure was the appointment of Juniors as assistants to various Staff positions, in order that they might acquire experience to aid them in publishing the Iuka in lfll-U.

VVe are grateful to our staff typists who have worked faithfully in preparing copy. News Staff THl'l News Staff carries on one of the most popular activities in the school. More than that, it has proved that it gets things done. Each week of school finds a page in the Tama News-Ilerfvlrl reporting all the assemblies, sports, and other activities of the school during the past week. Coming events cast their shadows in the High School Calendar. Things you didn't know about your classmates and teachers will be found in So They Sayl' and the feature stories. If your friends say with that knowing grin, Did you see your name in the papers? you head straight for the T's Column. For bits of well-worn advice see the Editorials. For news of sports see that column weekly in the school page of the 'Hmm News-Herald. Reports of all school assemblies appear in the paper. Grade school news is also featured weekly. A popular new feature of the school page this year was the column, Senior Snapsj' in which seniors were described each week. Over a period of years, Miss Stevens has guided the destinies of the school page, and kept it at a high level of interest and information. Under her guidance, Tama High School students have gained a great deal of valuable jour- nalistic experience. M. Hynek E.

Normal Training Club THE girls who are preparing themselves as rural teachers form the Normal Training Club. This year, under Miss Sturmls leadership, the Club has had most interesting meetings, both professionally and socially. Superintendent Nel- son gave a talk at one of the meetings. At another Miss Anderson, the county nurse, spoke concerning the Country School Teacher. At the April meeting, the Tama club entertained the Toledo Normal Training Club at dinner. The President this year was Josephine Griswold, Vice President, Evelyn Houdyshellg and Secretary, Madolyn Vobornik. Filmfanatic: Club TIIE Filmfanatic CCameraj Club is an organization made up of about 25 members whose common interest is to learn the fundamentals of photography. The officers this year are: President, Marshall Stimsong Vice President, Ray Tenhoffg Secretary-Treasurer, Catherine Power. Although the club's activities did not commence until late in the year, it has studied the types of cameras and films, the use of the printer and enlarger, and dark room technique.

Kay McKay Club OllG.XNIZl'llJ in 1933 for the purposes of promoting friendship among the girls, of making each girl a better home- memher, and of developing personality, the Kay McKay Club is the center of many activities in the Homemaking Department. Among the club's projects were a 'fpenny supperf, proceeds of which helped to buy the shelf covers in the trophy cases, the purchase of a picture, Interior of a Cottage, for the Homemaking rooms, and a club dinner party on March 29. The officers this year were: President, Mary Ellen Kupkag Vice President, Josephine Griswold, Secretary, Meredith Hynekg and Treasurer, Mildred Crane. These officers, together with Miss Hauswirth, the club sponsor, have made this a most enjoyable and successful year. Commercial Students THIS group, under the direction of Miss Stevens, is aiming toward proficiency in commercial subjects. Short- hand and typing speed and accuracy are stressed, and high standards are required of a student before he or She can be recommended for an office position after graduation. G. A. A. Back Row: O.

Arts, as well, hold a place in the life of society, a well-rounded individual, or a school. It is true that a person needs some of these diversions if life is to return to him what it should. I Music, unlike some other things, must be a product of some natural talent. In other words, it cannot be developed as an active art in every individual. But an appreciation of music can be cultivated in every person. That is what public school music attempts to do, along with its training of many in active participation in musical activity. In Tama High School for the past several years, a process of building has been going on. For musical excellence is not the product of a weekis activity, nor of even a year's ef- fort. It is the result of a slow, careful process of training and experience. This year, we have begun to see results from this process, and our impatience gives way to a realization that progress was being made all the time. Appreciation of music is quite a different matter. There are many agencies by which tl1e ability to understand and appreciate good music can be im- proved. The radio is an outstanding example of such an oppor- tunity, although that is often abused so that it presents nothing but trashy music. In our new High School, we have the advantage of a won- derful auditorium in which to have musical programs, and this year the opportunities to hear good music have been greatly in- creased. Visiting organizations have included the Philharmonic a capella choir from Parsons College, the Toledo Little Symphony, the Parkersburg High School a capella Mixed Chorus, the Coe Military Band, and our own proficient musical groups and soloists. Another feature of this program is the music assemblies in which the students them- selves participate in folk music and the national music of the various races of the world. These well-planned and interesting assemblies contribute their part to the all-around musical program of the school. In a different but very important way, music contributes to the enthusiasm of pep as- semblies and games. Everyone thrills as a band strikes up a lively tune while enthusiasm runs high at a game, and how much the songs contribute to a pep meeting is known to all who have participated in them. It is a well-known fact that a school is better known in the community and in the state for its outside activities than for its scholarship. The school is judged by its accomplish- ments in music, athletics and dramatics. It is the hope of Tama's students that, in the fu- ture, Tama will be as favorably known for its outstanding musical ability as it has been known for its keen, clean, athletic teams, and its interesting plays.

The entire group numbers about -L0 girls, which for contest purposes had to be cut to a group of 28. The activities of the club included singing for many school functions, out- standing of these was the Dedication program on March 21, and the Commence- ment exercises on June 1. The success of this year's group is largely due to the capable direction of Bliss llargarct Sherman, the music instructor in the Tama Schools. Her work during the past three years has been directed toward building up tl1e music groups in the High School, and the results of her careful, patient work are becoming evi- dent this year. The Girls' Glce Club won a superior rating in the Sub-District Music Con- test at Vinton on March 25. Other superior', ratings reflecting credit on the Girls' Glee Club are: The Girls' Sextet, composed of .lanet Sweazey, lladalyn Vobornik, Catherine Power, Roberta Lauderdale, Vliilma Shope and Louise Crumb, in the mezzo-soprano class, Roberta Lauderdaleg and in the alto solo class, Louise Crumb. Since a superior rating entitles a contestant to participate in the District meet, Tama was represented in four events at Monticello on April 13, 1114, and 15. Again successful, superior, fNo. lj rating was won by Louise Crumb and also by the Girls, Sextet. No. 2 ratings were won by Roberta Lauderdale and by the Girls, Glee Club. Those receiving No. 1 rating competed in the State hfusie Contest at Iowa City, May -'11-6.

The play concerned the mixed-up relations resulting when a widow with three children married a widower with twn children. The marriage was opposed hy the households of hoth principals because each thought that the other was a mercen- ary group and was only after the money of the other. Highlv humorous difficulties arise from the efforts of all the children to hreak up the marriage, However, as all good comedies do, misunderstandings are eventually cleared up and they all lived happily ever after. Miss Margaret Trevctt, who directed this play, deserves commendation for the wise choice of cast and the very cred- itable manner in which the play was presented. Mildred Minor was student director and Beulah MCFate was property manager. Credit should be given to Miss Miller and Miss Sturm, who helped with make-up, and to Mr. Vanderlinden for his assistance back-stage. Back Row: J. Spooner, N. Scott, R. Zhorne, J Griswold. M. A.

GIRL-SHY WITH unusual suitability, the Senior play this spring was Girl-Shy, for the play deals with school commencement-time. Supposed to be a woman-hater, Tom Arsdale was about to be graduated from Col- lege. He heard that Babs Sanford was set on meeting him, and being girl-shy he didnlt know what to do. Babs traded places with the chambcremaid. Tom's father came for Commencement with his choice of a girl, and a merry mix-up was on. Oke, Tom's room-mate, furnished contrast for he has been faithful to more girls, one after another, than any man in college. Character parts in abundance enlivened the play, and made it one of the best that a Senior Class had ever presented. This was the first Commencement play to be given in the New Auditorium, and was well received by an enthusiastic audience. To Miss Bond, for excellent casting and direction, and to each member of the cast and crew, goes the highest praise for the success of the play.

When properly undertaken, athletics will refresh the mind, enlarge and strengthen the muscles, and develop individual initiative and leadership. In America, more than any other country perhaps, young men and women show a great love of sport for sport's sake, rather than for its military value. And it is only natural that fierce loyalties arise around the teams of our high schools where the students are being pre- pared for higher education and leadership in later life. In no other place can cooperation, coordination, and sportsmanship be more readily practiced than on the athletic field or gym floor. Great elevens have existed without great quarterbacks but never without cooperation. Sports stress the fact that team play, rather than indiv- idual grandstanding',, is the desirable thing. Tamals athletic de artment is one of the finest. It represents the cooperatildn, interests, and ambitions of the student body. The willingness of the students to help with the work connected with an organization of this kind readily shows their interest in, and their apprecia- tion of, the department. Athletics at Tama is a year-round activity. In tl1e fall the pig-skin sport wins the pop- ularity vote, as enthusiastic crowds go from school to school accompanied by sporty cheer- leaders and brilliant banners. In the winter, basketball is the seasonal sport and with Tama's new gym it is a fast, exciting, and colorful game. It calls for a fresh mind, speed, endurance, and coordination. The picture changes now, the weather is warmer, the snow is melting, the ground is thawing, and soon the grass turns green and our pet robin builds his nest in the little house by the front porch, It puts new life into us, it sends us off on a new course, it makes us want to get out-of-doors and work and play hard. Baseball, one of Americais most popular sports, just satisfies this craving. Spring and most of tl1e summer it is baseball, accom- panied by track, golf, tennis and swimming. , As far back as we have any record of man he has participated in athletics of some kind. In every village, town, or city, and in every nation regardless of its location we find some kind of sports. They are like the winds, they have existed since the beginning of the world, they have touched every nook and corner of the earth. Athletics can be tl1e foundation of good citizenship and the builder of strong bodies. It teaches good sportsmanship, the value of hard work, the necessity of persistence if one would succed at a hard task. Coach Van g the cheer leaders, Ruth, Jean.

After a O-0 first half, the Hawks weakened and Grinnell scored two touchdowns, winning 13-0. The following week the Hawks met Grundy Center, setting them back 7-0. This game proved later to be Grundyis only defeat of the season. Next came Colfax, which had been rated as a hard team to beat. Nevertheless, Tama sent them home with a 20-0 defeat. Belle Plaine, rated as the best team in the confer- ence, was next on tl1e list. At the end of forty minutes of play, the Plainsmen upheld their rating by de- feating the Hawks 6-0. The following week, with greater determination, the Hawks journeyed to Brooklyn, annexing their first conference win, 14-0. Then Tama played the strong Montezuma team, building up an ex- cellent 1-11-O lead the first half. Contented with this lead, the Hawks coasted to a 14-2 win. The next victim was mighty ltfarengo. Starting with a rush, Tama passed over a touchdown before Marengo was warmed up. After rather hard going the Hawks counted again in the fourth quarter after marching sixty yards down the field. Tama won 13-O. This was the worst defeat Marengo had experienced in three years. The Traer in their annual Armistice Day Battle, stopping Traer's blond Ericson, and pushed over downs, winning 13-0.

BASKETBALL THE Tama Hawks did not enjoy a very good basketball season this year, but did obtain plenty of experi- ence which will be of great use next year. The Hawks finished down in the League cellar, winning one League game all season. In spite of this, the boys played a good brand of basketball, many of the games being very exciting. The best example of this was the game played with Belle Plaine, on the Tama court. Belle Plaine barely managed to win by the score of 23-21. One of the bright spots in the picture is that the boys will all be back next year. Paul Pagel was the only senior on the squad and due to injury, he was not a regular. Tama started out tl1e season by losing to Gladbrook and Dubuque, then beat Chelsea but again lost to Gladbrook. The following week they beat Gilman and Garwin in order, but came right back and lost to Davenport, Marengo and Belle Plaine. The following week they won what later proved to be their last win- ning game of the season. They beat Brooklyn 18-17. The Hawks then started on one of the worst losing streaks that a Tama team has experienced in years. They lost ten games in a row. They lost to Montezuma and Toledo twice and one game apiece to Brooklyn, Belle Plaine, Marengo, Melrose, Dysart and Grinnell. This does not sound like a very impressive record, but in truth the Tama Hawks showed much improvement as the season progressed. Late in the season the Hawks played Melrose. Melrose, as you remember, won the State Tournament in 1937 and l1ad a very good record this year. Melrose won by the close margin of 35-29. In the County Tournament the boys did not have a chance with Dysart and were eliminated in the first round by Dysart 45-19. In the Sectional Tournament, Tama drew a bye the first round and played Grinnell in the finals, losing 37-28. This game was very exciting and the winner was not decided until tl1e last four minutes of play. The end of this game marked the close of another Tama basketball season.

To date they have played nineteen games, winning sev- enteen. The Red Sox won the County Tournament this year for the first time since baseball was revived in 1937. They went on to win the District Tournament at Laurel, beating such teams as North High of Des Moines to enter the State Tournament at Manson May 18, 19, 20. The Sox have had some very excellent pitching from Dick Tesar and Keith VValker. Dick has won five games and Keith has won nine. Mike Quigley has done some very fine relief pitching for the Sox this year, winning three games. There are only two members of the Senior class on the team this year. They are Delmar lVlcFate QField Captainj and Paul Pagel, Little Pat Patterson is playing third base for the Sox this year and is doing a very good job at it. Mike Quigley is playing shortstopg Delmar McFate, second baseg Don Burnes, first baseg Dick Tesar or Keith Walker, left fieldg Douglas Dunlap, center fieldq Paul Pagel, right fieldg Dick Tesar and Keith VValker, pitchers, and Ray fGabbyj Hardon, catcher. Orville Vail has been substituting at shortstop, Kenneth Overturf at shortstop, Bob Burnes in right field, and Don Carnal at second base. The Sox are improving as each game is played. The boys are looking forward to the day when the State Tourna- ment begins and are determined to make a good showing in it. The Coaches A SCHOOIIS athletic program depends primarily upon Vanderlinden, who assists with the sports program. its coaches for its effectiveness. Regardless of games They have worked untmngly for the welfare of the won or lost, athletics should build strong bodies, coopera- tion, cmwdination, and Clmmcter' In T. H. S., the Students school and the individual students. VVe think our coaching are one hundred per cent back of Coach Miller and Mr. staff is tops , judging by any standard whatever. R. G. lNIILLER L.

No better monument could stand for its activity than the New lligh School Building. The Tama P. T. A. had a large share in making it possible for the city of Tama to have such a school. The Study Club first pressed the matter, pre- sented it to the entire P. T. A., which, in turn, placed the proposition before the voters by circulating a petition. The P. T. A. is valuable as a link between the school and the parents, making possible a better and more coopera- tive school system. In Memoriam AllIJREY .f1le.rauder came to Tama in 1932, and enrolled in our sixth grade. She had a 'very pleasing personality and could always make friends easily. Everyone was her friend. On May 1, 1934, Audrey was taken from us by death. The loss of one so active was a great misfortune. Wle wish Audrey were here to graduate with us this spring, although she is not, she will always be remembered by the class of '39. Audrey Alexander nqzl-lqau Whence Iuka POSSIBLY many students of T. H. S. have wondered at some time or other, f'VVhat is the origin of the word 'Iuka'? or t'How does the Annual happen to be called that? To answer these questions we must go back into the last century, to the beginnings of the present city of Tama. In 1862, the real beginning of Tama occurred, and thereby hangs the tale of the name Iuka g for on September 19, 1862, a battle of the Civil VVar was fought at Iuka, Mississippi. A Federal force of 10,000 men fought a Confederate army of 12,000, with the Federal force winning a rather indecisive victory. n ionor 0 me owa men w u ou 1 in fs a 2 1 nun V sea 1 Tushomin o I I ftl I lmf glt tll bttle it tlecv tl t if g County, Mississippi, the new village here on the Iowa River was named Iuka. About four years later, the postoffice department changed the name from Iuka, to Tama Cityg we are perpetuating the old name in our High School Annual from year to year. VVhile there are other fanciful or legendary stories of the origin of the name, the above story is the one which historians relate as the beginnings of the curious and unusual name which adorns the cover of this book.

REID, President C. E. IJAVIS, Secretary F. A. JONES, Treasurer We Appreciate-H THl'l work of the members of the Board of Education and Superintendent Nelson! Vl'hile it is true that they could not l1ave secured our present High School building without the cooperation of the townspeople, yct their foresight, effort and diligent attention to detail, gained for us the lrind of a building that we now enjoy. 'l'o say that the planning and supervision of a building such as ours is a major task may seem to be trite, but it is true, nevertheless. Hours of thought, consultation, and planning preceded the turning of a single shovel of dirt, or thc pouring of concrete. VVe, who are using the building, realize that they did their work well. Quality has been built into the structure, and yet the financial interests of the taxpayer have been carefully guarded. An enduring build- ing, beautiful and useful, has ceased to be a dream, and has become a reality. Everyone who comes to in- spect the new building is amazed at its size and its completeness. It is something of which the townspeople of Tama may be justly proud. It is a source of pride to us, who have spent both pleasant and profitable times within its walls these past few months. ive Seniors feel that praise frequently is not given when praise is due. Hence, we have reserved this page to give credit to these men who so richly deserve the praise of every student of Tama High School and every citizen of tl1e Tama community-the members of the Board of Education, and our Superintendent, Mr. E. H. Nelson-for a piece of work, well and faithfully donevan enduring service for education and the betterment of the entire community. GIRL SCOUTS Back Row: A. R. Kupka, E. Houdyslwell, H. Wilson, N.

Miss Sturm, as captain, was in charge of the Junior and Senior girlsg Miss Trevett, as lieutenant, was in charge of the Freshman and Sophomore girls. It is hoped that the Girl Scout troops are so well established that they will remain a permanent organization in Tama High School. Boy Scouts Tlll'l available records of the local Scout council do not tell us when the first Boy Scout troop was organized in Tama. Reliable sources, however, do tell us that the first Boy Scout troop in Tama was organized in about 1911 un' der the leadership of Mr. J. G, Ennis. The first records show that Tama had two troops in 1924- with a total membership of fifty-seven boys. Later, a third troop was organized which increased the total enrollment in all three troops to approximately eighty-five Boy Scouts. Scouting has been continuous since 19144. lt has been under the direction and supervision of Mr. Ben Jones since 1926. During these years, seven lmndrcd and fifty Tama boys have enjoyed from one to four years of fun and fellowship as Scouts under his leadership. For his uninterrupted service to Tama boys through Scouting, for his fine Scout-like example, and for his sincerity of purpose, the Central Iowa Area Council, at its annual meeting in January, 1938, presented Mr. Jones with The Award of the Silver Beaver, the highest award or recognition the two hundred and seventy-five men of this council can confer upon any of their number. The results of the fun, the fellowship, the example, the high idealism of Scouting as presented by Tama's Scout- ers is evidenced today in the lives of hundreds of boys who are now successful and highly respected men of business and affairs in the fields into which they have gone. It is great to be a Scout. Ye Editor puts an Annual together Down the 4-orrirlor to the Sturly Hall Ray Tenhoff lookefl like this to his opp0m2ntffWhat's this! Harry and Elmer stuflyimr'!

June 29, 194-9 Mr. Ben Jones, No. 14-96 Home for Aged, Room 13 Tama, Iowa Dear Mr. Jones: VVe thought you might be interested in the doings of the members of that outstanding class of 39, and because of an unexpected incident, we can give you this information. It was only yesterday when we were walking down Fifth Avenue, that we saw Richard Abbe and his great in- vention, The Space Conqueror. For the small sum of ten cents you can locate any one of your friends. After talk- ing over old times with Richard, we hit on the idea of find- ing all our old classmates. He called his assistant, Helen Schroeder, to adjust the machine. First, looking around in New York, we found ltay Ten- hoff at the Municipal Airport just ready to take off for a trip to Detroit as Meredith has finally decided to become an aviator's wife. By the way, Meredith is located in De- troit because of her interest in big cars. Mary Ann Dumbauld now models for a company which puts out bigger and better hair ribbons. Tama has practically taken over the VVheaties program for Jack Armstrong is now Harry Hodina, Betty Fairfield is Kathleen Tomlinson, and Billy Fairfield is Marshall Stim- son. Millions of children now listen to them every night. Virginia Larson is now taking Arthur Murray's place as a dance director and is writing those dance books for Fleischman's Yeast. Jack Spooner, now a prominent lawyer in Chicago, is still saving the coupons to send for his copy of Dainty Dancing. And believe it or not, Lola Meek, now a happy house- wife, is trying to reduce by exercises given by Josephine Griswold on her Lose VVeight Quick broadcast from nine to ten every morning. Then we focused the instrument on VVashington, D. C., where we saw more old friends. Jean Lauderdale, who is now the first lady senator from Iowa, drives a car with brakesg but because of her infrequent use of them, Con- gress has recently appropriated money to surround the VVashington Monument with a protective fence. Jean is not our only politically minded classmate. Ar- thur Timm is Secretary of Agriculture, and his able assist- ant is Dale Duffy. . A customer came by, but we ignored him and turned our attention to Hollywood where, among the other glam- our girls we found Phyllis Uldson as Scarlett 0'Hara in the reproduction of Gone VVith the VVind. The handsome hero, Rhett Butler, is played by Neil Scott, whose appear- ance on the screen causes millions of feminine hearts to flutter. VVe also got a passing glimpse of Meta Marbo, whom you probably remember as Mary ltedmon. According to the papers, she likes to be alone. Coming back to New York, we looked over Greenwich Village. There, living in so-called atmosphere, we rec- ognized Mark Metcalf, who turned out to be a poet of dis- tinction instead of an All-American half-back. VVe also saw Curtis Youngbear, now a famous painter of landscapes. VVe proceeded back to Tama, and on the way we got a glimpse of Arthur Groves at Marshalltown, still looking for the girl who smiled at him when we went there once in 39 for a vocational conference. VVe also saw Joan Booth happily married and residing at Grinnell. She was hanging out the family washing as we passed. You probably know about those in Tama, but when wc glanced that way, we saw Paul Pagel headed for the mar- ket to get the meat, so Beulah could prepare dinner. VVe also saw a small boy in a football suit reminding him to get some candy on the way home. Eleanor Moyer now has a half interest in that car with the radio, as she married the owner. Charlotte Collinson is also married and is living in Mon- tour. Her husband is mayor of the city, but we wonder if perhaps Charlotte doesn't have a voice in city affairs. After leaving Tama we decided to take a hurried glance again over the country side to pick up the others we might have missed. Just darting around, we caught sight of Pat Abbott. His occupation was a great surprise to us. He is now a urember of the Highway Patrol! At Ames, we sighted Mildred Crane. She has taught Home Ec. for several years, but has now decided to end her professional career, for, after a long courtship, Delmar has finally won out. Belonging to the ranks of VVomen Aviators we found Lillian Kazda, who recently broke the non-stop cross-coun- try record. Well, this was certainly a surprise. Of all the class we would least expect these three charming Misses to become Main Haters. I am referring to Arlette ltugg, Ruth Zhorne, and Janet Sweazey, who have lovely Spinster quarters in Los Angeles and seem quite content. Helen VVilson has taken the social problems of our country quite seriously. She has joined the Salvation Army. The little caps they wear are quite becoming. Looking over the professions chosen by the members of the class of 39, we found that very few have chosen to work in the more conunon and widely known fields, how- ever, we find a few conservative members. Beatrice Marlowe has become a nurse. Her work has done as much for the Negro population in the South as Florence Nightengale did at the time of the Crimean VVar. Doris VValraven is teaching a country school south of Tama. She has changed very' little except that she wears spectacles now. lt had been so interesting looking into the lives of our classmates that we didn't realize how rapidly the afternoon had sped by. There were only a few more of our old friends to find, so we thought it well to sacrifice our sup- per and complete the list. Glancing over the entertainment in New York we found MadalynVoborniknow in Metropolitan Opera. At the time they were presenting The Tales of Hoffman. VVe were just remarking that none of the class had taken up surgery when we happened to spot Mary Ellen Kupka at Rochester. She is one of the greatest brain specialists in the world, and her assistant nurse is none other than Pearl Brownell. VVe had located all of our classmates except Helen Mc- Queen, but much to our dismay we couldn't locate her any- fC0llflii1l'bL0d on Page Forty-eightj fx if. we -was- T , wf' vi M uf, fi.:-.am 5 'eaa45'f ,Wim A nm n' 'i 5, N? ag W ff W Our Gallop Poll IN-February, the Iuka Staff sponsored a poll of the student body, for the purpose of determining the students who typified certain things to the student body.

DED CATIUN 0 N ILDI I3 I-IALF-IiUI,lD.-XY, new building cleaned up slicker'n a whistle, flood lights, many ushers, large crowds, flowers ev- erywhere in the rooms and auditorium, important people-to what does it all add up? Dedication of the new building, of course. ln order that the building might be cleaned and polished, rooms put in perfect order, and final arrangements completed, the lligh School was given the afternoon off on Tuesday, March 21. During the afternoon, various dignitaries who were to be on the program, inspected the building, Then, early in the evening, the crowd of interested townspeople and students began to assemble. The building, shin- ing white under the flood lights, presented a beautiful sight. Complete and accepted, it stood as a monument to the edu- eational ideals and foresight of the Tama community. At eight p. m., the interesting program commenced, and held the attention of the large audience until almost ten. At the conclusion of the program, all parts of the building were thrown open to public inspection. The unanimous opinion was that Tama had not only a very beautiful building, but also a very practical one. On every hand was heard comment to the effect that the interior beauty and completeness of the building was beyond all expectation. Indeed, it was a very successful program, fitting to the dignity of the new home of Tama High School. The program of the evening follows: flVlr. ll. J. Ferguson presidingj Invocation--liev. l. J.
