PUBLISHED BY CLASS OF 1921 DAVENPORT HIGH SCHOOL The Blackhawk 19 2 1 VOLUME 5 THE ANNUAL EDITION OP THE BI-WEEKLY PAPER THE BLACKHAWK Foreword We have attempted to make this Blackhawk a book of memories, one which in later years will re- call to our minds pleasant moments of the past. If, when the days have lengthened into golden years, this book revives fond memories, we will feel that our efforts have been well rewarded. Davenport winning rather than losing, but winning or losing, Davenport e, the Class of 1921, re- spectfully dedicate this hook to George Edward Marshall, our mentor and friend, as a token of appreciation for the kindly way in which he has influenced us toward higher idsals. 4 Vr : � Mi « Bissell, who for tour years ha� patiently and ahiy rendered her ser- .1 L 1 II t • I W sm v; V ' f A Y$ 1 wjs vice� to the Biackhawk, we wish to acknowledge our appreciation jwgi fe?32§g£- 36 0s- tww : ?bs-wh V wSm W l ff I SfldlWD 3HX 4 4 When time who steals our years away Shall steal our pleasures too, The memry of the bast will stay And half our joys renew'. “ And what is so rare as a day in June? Then, if ever, come perfect days; The heaven tries earth if it be in tune, And over it softly her warm ear lays, Whether we look or whether we listen, We hear life murmur or see it glisten —Lowell.

This staff was able to assume and pay these debts only by economizing and saving in all possible ways. Had it not been for the earnest and sterling help and cooperation of this body of students, The Blackhawk would now be but a memory. “ is a very hard undertaking to seek to please everybody.’' Syms, The Class of '21 MMENCEMENT day once more is here. At last the time has arrived when the Seniors must take their leave of these venerable halls of learning where they have spent four of the most profitable and most en- joyable years of their lives. Since the time they first entered the old school, the Alma Mater has exercised a wholesome and guiding influence over them; she has molded, pro- moted, and encouraged their tastes and interests in different merito- rious kinds of activity; she has revealed to them the treasure of know- ledge and allowed them to take what they would; and she has furn- ished for them a life apart, a world wherein the individual student met his classmate on an equal plane, and wherein each one was judged and estimated according to his own personal worth. Now that the day of graduation has come, the Seniors do not experience that joy which the most of them thought, when underclassmen, would attend their leavetaking. Instead, indeed, there is a feeling of regret that old classmates, old interests, and the glorious times spent in the old school must be left behind. However, time waits for no man, and they cannot prolong their stay forever. The history of the Davenport high school is a history of meri- torious classes. The many groups that have been graduated in the past have founded and preserved traditions and principles which give to the school its present high and impeccable reputation. Each class has made it a rule not only to preserve and live up to the principles and high standards set by preceeding classes, but has also made it a point to raise the level to which succeeding classes must measure. The Class of ’21 is no exception to this rule. It has not only come up to the standards of preceding classes, but its conduct and attainments have been such that classes to come will find it difficult to maintain the high level established by it. The Seniors met early in the year and elected their officers to pilot them through the first semester’s activities. That the class con- sidered only personal worth and ability in choosing their leaders was shown by the excellent corps elected: George Marks, president; Robert Brown, vice-president; Helen Phillips, secretary; and Arthur Temple and Eloise Johnson, treasurers. President Marks at once appointed the following social committed: Helen Phillips, chairman, Gertrude Bird, Helen Kohrs, Paula Braunlich, Marie Struve, Richard Toll, Ercil Craig, Lawrence Evans, and Karl Voflmer. This committee at once set to work to plan entertainments that would be of interest to the entire student body, and it succeeded well in its work. Once more the Seniors displayed their good judgment in selecting leaders of ability for the second semester: Richard Toll, president; Arno Wiese, vice-president; Genevieve McGee, secretary; and Herbert Buck and Paula Braunlich, treasurers. Toll at once appointed a new social committee: Helen Phillips, chairman, Gertrude Bird, Paula Braunlich, Marie Struve, George Marks, Ercil Craig, Lawrence Evans, and Robert Brown. Later in the semester, several committees were appointed to provide for the announcement activities. These were as follows: Class Play committee—Robert Koch, chairman, Wendall Ames, Robert Heeschen, Donald Kern, Elizabeth Sala, Mildred Wood, Gene- vieve McGee, Robert Brown, Sara Louise Klein, Arno Wiese. Class Will—Herbert Buck, chairman, Eugene McKown. Lyman Knierem, Helen Kohrs, Marie Struve, Georgia ShafFer. Class Prophecy—Hortense Finch, chairman, Mabel Killey, Ed. Kaufman, Kenneth Kinsler, Carolyn Landauer, Oscar Pries, and Mar- guerite Allen. Announcement Cards—Waldo Regennitter, chairman, Eleanor Neb- ergall, and Wilma Petersen. Every one of these committees functioned in the best possible manner. Indeed, it was due to their indefatigable efforts that the activities of the class were so successful. The play, “The Big Idea”, was one of the most pronouncedly suc- cessful class plays ever given. The cast that made it possible to offer such a fine presentation was composed of Richard Toll, Eloise John- son, Helen Phillips, Lawrence Evans, Paula Braunlich, Gertrude Bird, Fred Fuchs, Richard Atherton, George Marks, Ercil Craig, and Erwin Sindt. The students who were honored by being chosen class speakers for commencement day were Arno Wiese, Charles Sellers, Mabel Killey, John Hinrichsen, and Theodore Emeis. These were all noted for scho- lastic standing and speaking ability, and were well chosen to represent the class on commencement day. A class is no better than the individuals that compose it, and per- haps it is in this way that the high standing of the class of ’21 can be explained. The individual members of the Senior class were, almost without exception, students of ability, ambition, and fine character. Their interests were many and varied. Many of the best athletes were Seniors; much of the best talent displayed in the forensic lield was contributed by Seniors; in fact, Seniors were prominent m every worthy endeavor- With such a membership, there can be no doubt as to why the class of ’21 succeeded so well in covering itself with glories, and in maintaining such a high level in conduct, scholarship, and in all school and social activities. Here’s to the class of ’21! May her high attainments and lofty ideals serve as a criterion for future classes to be graduated from the Red and Blue, and may her members realize that they have the repu- tation, traditions, and principles of the old school and of a glorious class to uphold in future fields of endeavor and may they act accord- ingly.

Commercial Course Commercial Club Student Club Glee Club Le Cercle Francais 46 Juniors CTOBER 22, the Juniors met in Study Room A and organized “The Class of 1922”. The following officers were elected and headed the class for two semesters: Ralph Kloppenburg—President Helen Warner—Vice-President Alvord Boeck—Secretary Bernice Martin and Eugene Carlquist—Treasurers Miss Koch and Mr. Garlinghouse were appointed as faculty ad- visors. Since that time the lavender and purple has triumphed again and again. The first social stunt of the new class was a box social for Juniors. It succeeded in bringing all groups together for a pleasant evening. Then came the Masquerade dance, the first one attempted in years. It proved one of the best dances ever held in D. H. S. However, the Basket Ball dance, which was held the twenty-sixth of March at the Outing Club, stands supreme. A large crowd danced through the varied program of twelve dances to the enticing strains rendered by Miedke’s. The same success is credited to the remaining stunts. The social committee, which is responsible for these activities, is composed of Austin Goddard, chairman, Paul Krasuski, Ann Downer, Dorothy Evans, Geraldine Smythe, Vera Cox, Gladys Drury, George Schmidt, and Louise Nelson. But all has not been social. Junior names stand high in all school activities, athletics, dramatics, and forensic work, and on the Black- hawk. The members of “22” have been active since they entered the school as Freshies. They have given the seniors a close run all the way through, and some of the graduates carry with them lasting remembrances of “The Class of 1922 . Junior, listen! False sage counsel “ Dame and Hike are good for Thee. Bui if thou wouldst be a Senior, BRAINS are a necessity. Else the playful carefree Pleasure Will like magic, without bluster, Change thy twenty-two to three. Sophomores The Sophomore Class IRHS5 HE Sophomore class as usual has no organization and consequently no history. It has, however, not been a nonentity by any means. Since the publication of the last annual, the Freshman class has been eliminated through the open- ________________ n£ of the three Intermediate schools, and the change seems to have been for the best. The Sophomore class is now greater in numbers, because the school interest has been kept up through the ninth grade, or really the Freshman year of High school, at the Inter- mediate; it is better also from the scholastic viewpoint owing to the filtering process in the Intermediates; and its members accomplish more than did the old time Freshmen; because they are better able to choose courses of study and thereby waste less time in coming from one school to the other. 52 FOOT BALL O N STouts « � J N, J4KHSS MTCMC 19 2 0 n.HS FOOTBALL TEAM OHS « GIM«© O 0H6 7 ALUMNI A D MS OS OAUOMO O 0X6 I© VXXOHMCTON O DH� KJ IOWAClTY -6 OHS O N-DWHBW O DNS S3 CLINTON O OH O AOCK IKAMO VA dm� aa Mouw-.a E.N ftTUDIO Stokes (Coach), Jolinson, Schick, Kerns, Stetson, Krasuski, Layden, Marks, Quinn, Koch, Vollmer, Goddard, Curley, Craig, Kloppenburg, aud Koch Football Review T I® cessful from every angle, from the standpoint, of vic- tories and athletic development as well as from the attendance viewpoint. The team failed to win dist- inction in the way of state or tri-city championship, which fact was due to unfortunate accidents, for the most part, and the brilliancy of the team’s record is not tarnished in any way by the failure to win championship honors. Starting with the best material to present itself in the past sev- eral years, Coach Stokes did his unmost from the start to mold the material into a winning eleven. Members of the squad must be given credit for their earnest and continued toil throughout the season in order that this school would be represented by a victorious team. Too much credit can not be given to Elmer Layden, captain of the team, and one of the greatest football players turned out of the D. H. S. in recent years. Layden did not miss a practice during the season. In action he was one of the most feared men in the state, and it was to a great extent through his efforts that the red and blue finished in the lead. He was awarded the greatest of honors at the close of the season by being selected as captain and quarter-back of the All-State team. In running with the ball, punting or passim?, the speedy leader was unsurpassable. Geneseo was the first victim of the year, 13 to 0. Quinn inter- cepted a pass for the first touchdown of the year. The Shuler brothers proved too much in the Alumni game, the former stars winning by a 14 to 7 count. Galesburg same next and was handed an unexpected and decisive defeat. The count in figures was 63 to 0. Washington, another strong team, met disaster to the tune of 16 to 0, mainly be- cause of Layden’s work. Iowa City, through the specialized efforts of Layden and G. Koch, fell by a 16 to 6 score. North high was held to a 0 to 0 score in a hard fought game. Layden’s punts, and the strong work of every player featured the game. Clinton was beaten by a 33 to 0 count. Then came Rock Island, with Layden and Stetson out of the lineup. The Islander team played good ball as compared with the disorganized efforts of the D. H. S. and won 14 to 0.. Moline was van- quished in a wonderful close to the season by a 34 to 0 score. This was another game in which every player was at his best, and it was a 67 fitting close to the career of nine of the players who were serving for the last time for the good old red and blue. Those who are lost through graduation are Captain Layden, Schick, Vollmer, Curley, G. Koch, R. Koch, Kerns, Marks and Craig. ELMER LAYDEN, Football Captain One of the fastest and most reliable men to don the red and blue gridiron togs, Layden, will be long remembered for his brilliant end runs, unerring passes, and beautiful spirals. He proved himself a great football player, and it is not likely that another athlete of Layden’s calibre will perform for the D. H. S. for some time. As a leader Lay- den was hard to beat. His spectacular career was brought to a fitting close by his election as captain and quarterback of the All-State team. RALPH KLOPPENBURG, Captain-elect Football The choice for next year’s football leader is a popular one with everybody, the faculty, the students, the players, and every one con- cerned. Kloppenburg, who plays halfback, is fast and shifty. He is a veteran of two year’s service and a player who can be depended upon to make the 1921 team a successful one. I Basketball Review 'np HE record of the basketball season is an interesting and a varied one. Starting out in brilliant style, Captain Stetson’s five was looked upon as one of the best teams in the state. About mid-season the team went stale and lost among other things, the tri-city championship. The players came back in wonderful form, however, playing sensational basketball at the Iowa State tour- nament, winning the meet for the second consecutive time, and brand- ing the team as one of the strongest in the state. Besides the winning of the Iowa tournament, the decisive defeats handed the St. Ambrose Juniors at both meetings stand out in the season’s review. This was the first time that a red and blue five ever accomplished this feat. Coach Stokes’ squad started the season in perfect form, sweeping thru East Moline and Wiltorv, and defeating Cambridge 29 to 26. East Moline fell again, this time 24 to 9. The Juniors came next and were vanquished by a 29 to 15 count. The little collegians did not have a chance from the start. Moline put up a rough game, but hard playing by Schick and Layden enabled Davenport to win, 13 to 9. Rock Island, supposedly the strongest team of the quad-cities, was defeated by a 28 to 14 count. Iowa City was defeated 20 to 12 and Wilton was swamped before a deluge of scores the following evening. Then came the slump. Moline edged one over on us, score 19 to 18. Geneseo rubbed it in with a 22 to 17 defeat, and Rock Island won the quad-city championship by handling out a walloping, in numbers 23 to 31. Following this game the team braced, sending the Juniors home with another one-sided score, 22 to 11. Clinton had plenty of prize- fighters but few basketball players, accordingly she was beaten 32 to 15. The Alumni bowed to the tune of 37 to 17. Then came the Iowa State tournament held at Iowa City. Daven- port started out in invincible form, defeating University high of Iowa City, Wheatland, and Manchester by safe scores. The Iowa City game was the hardest of the tournament, the final score standing, 15 to 12. Indianola was beaten, and an 18 to 12 victory over Grinnell gave us the right to enter the finals. Anamosa, in the finals, put up a hard fight 61 and was beaten only after hard and sensational playing on the part of the Davenporters. The final score was 27 to 21. Captain Stetson, Krasuski and Schick were selected on the All- Tournament team. Layden was picked as a member of the second team, giving Davenport a majority of players on the All-Tournament teams. CLAUDE N. STOKES, Coach Coach Claude N. Stokes is the man who has piloted our athletic teams through a strenuous and eventful year. Altho not coming here with the intention of coaching football, Coach Stokes took the material and formed an eleven that met defeat but once. His team played hard from the start, in fact it fought with all its might right up to the closing whistle. It was in basketball, his chosen sport, that Coach Stokes displayed his true worth. Stokes worked his hardest right up to the close of the season. Several defeats during mid-season only served to increase his untiring labors. The winning of the Iowa State basketball tournament was a crowning reward to his efforts. In track, altho handicapped by lack of material, the coach deve- loped a team that won the Quad-City indoor meet and put up a desper- ate fight in the outdoor meet. Mr. Stokes believes in clean sportsman- ship to the nth degree, and drills his teams to play clean all the time. He will be back next year as coach of the basketball and track squads. CLIFFORD STETSON, Basketball Captain The unusual records made by the basketball team during the past year is due to a great extent to the work of the leader, Stetson. The fighting player is one of the best guards to serve on high school teams in the past several years. He is a hard fighter and is in the game every minute of play. He has one more year in which to add to his PAUL KRASUSKI, Captain-elect Basketball Krasuski, the giant hero of football and basketball encounters, as well as a track athlete, was the unanimous choice for captain of the 1921-22 basketball five. Paul, who has served as center for the past two years on the basketball team, is well fitted to lead his team to a record that will stand out in the athletic history of this institution. Miss Long, Vivian Hooyer, Alberta Brandt, Sara Louise Klein, Marguerite Allen, Hazel Craig, Mabel Killey Girls’ Basket Ball ' | 'HE girls’ basket ball season this year was a wonderful success. Four fine teams were turned out, and although they were somewhat evenly pitched, the Seniors, with more years to their advantage, won the championship. Some outside games were held and, in one instance, the champions were defeated by a team composed mostly of the faculty. The return game, though, was more to the liking of the girls. The championship team is composed of: Marguerite Allen (g) Vivian Hooyer (f) Hazelle Craig (g) Mabel Killey (c) Sara Louise Klein (g) Capt. Alberta Brandt (f) 63 The ninth Annual Track meet was held during April. The Sopho- mores, who were well supported, won the meet, the Seniors and Juniors following respectively. Two remarkable records were made, all the credit of which be- longs to Margaret Hallauer, Senior, who already has broken records. New records for the hop, step, and jump and for the running broad are twenty-nine ft., eight and three quarters in., and thirteen ft., three in. respectively. Leone Weetz, Sophomore, tied with Margaret Hal- lauer in the first named event. The Sophomores have a very promising bunch, many of them placing in the meet. They are liable to win the next track meet un- less the Intermediates turn out as good material as they did this year. Track Review NDOORS our track athletes carved “1921” deep in the records, but the cinders had a deadening effect on their speed. Oscar Pries, a veteran of two previous aggregations, captained this year’s cortege. Augustana college gymnasium was the scene of gg the Red and Blue’s triumph in the Quad-city indoor congress. Three records went to the block: Schick navigated the half mile in 2:10, Lowell Phelps advanced the standing high jump record 5 inches, and the relay team annexed 2-5th of a second. With the heaviest entry, the Seniors won the inter-class indoor meet in the D. H. S. gymnasium. The Juniors placed second, while the Sophomores were among the “also ran . May 7 went far to prove that “united we stand, divided we fall” when Davenport blanked at both the Big 8 outdoor frolic at Moline, and the Iowa City invitation meet. Davenport was instrumental in securing the Big Eight for Moline, so was compelled to send an entry. Custom sent Schick, Toll, Layden, and Kern to uphold our prestige in the state meet. Kern worked into the final in the 100 yard dash. Rock Island took the Quad-City outdoor meet at Browning Field, Moline, followed with 43£ digits, while Davenport trailed with 42£ Simon of Davenport was foremost among the milers, breaking the pre- vious record by 2-5th of a second. Layden and Krasuski led all in the broad jump and the shot put. But Davenport had to be contented with second and third positions rather than first in this meet. BORNHOLDT It has been stated that the past year in athletics was one of the most successful in a financial way in the history of the school. That this is true is due to the splendid and efficient management of this year’s teams by Newton J. Bornholdt. Besides managing the affairs of the teams, Bornholdt assisted Coach Stokes with all of the team at various times. He took charge of the football eleven at the Moline game when Stokes was called from the city. OSCAR PRIES, Track Captain As captain of the track team, Pries made a splendid record. A hard worker and consistent trainer, he was a real leader for the track atlhetes. In the meets he was a sure point winner, his specialties be- ing the 440 yard dash and the hurdles. 66 Top Row: Warcham, Fletcher, Meyer Second Row: Goddard, Woldvogel, Krasuski, L. Phelps, Nordstrom Bottom Row: Koch, Berg, Henschen, Vogel, Feddersen 8MSSS mem® HIS was the first year that Wrestling was backed by the school authorities, but judging from the progress made by this year’s squad, the Davenport High school will have to be reckoned with as an important factor in this fascinating sport in the future. Dave Henschen was secured to coach the candidates. He worked with the athletes for over two months and developed several youthful wrestlers who show promise of unusual ability. Henschen dealt prin- cipally with the rudiments of the sport this year, but intends to go into the “inside” points of the art with next year’s class. The climax to the period of instruction came with the interclass meet. The winners in this meet were Bob Koch, heavyweights; Harold Vogel, welterweights; Frederick Fedderson, lightweights; and Virgil Welch, featherweights. All of these men, with the exception of Koch, will return next year to form the nucleus of the team. It is the plan of Coach Henschen to enter teams in both the Ames and Iowa meets. Cheer Leaders Here they are! The pep” artists supreme—Arch Nichols and Bob Pollock, who are largely responsible for the backing given the football team at the season's games. As everyone knows, successful cheering is very essential to a successful team; and it is due considerably to their strenuous efforts that the team was given such splendid support, laurels.

Wiese Coach Keiber AFFIRMATIVE Shorey Stolley Coach Keiber O. Wiese Forensic usual, Davenport’s forensic year was a howling suc- cess. We started out early in the fall by winning the Tri-City Boys’ Declamatory contest. The team was composed of Charles Sellers, Eugene Carlquist, Philip Adler, Ben Simon, Otis Wiese, and Richard Toll. Simon was chosen to represent the school at the Big Eight contest at Geneseo and took second place. Toll went to the Iowa-Nine contest at Grinnell but did not come home with a medal. Following this came the Girls’ Declamatory contest. The team com- posed of Alma Macrorie, Sylvia Pedersen, Ruth Yocum, Ethel Eldridge, Dorothy Davis, and Dorothy Wohnrade failed to win the Tri-City con- test, but Ruth Yocum won third place at the Big Eight contest at Mon- mouth. Alma Macrorie did not quite land among the medal winners at the Iowa Nine contest at Fairfield. Declamations over, the debating season started in earnest. The Iowa Nine team was composed of Eugene Carlquist, John Hinrichsen, and Richard Toll (leader) on the affirmative, and Harry Daasch, Theodore Emeis, and Charles Sellers (leader) on the negative. The question was “Resolved that more defi- nite and restrictive immigration laws should be enacted by the United States.’’ Great interest was attached to the Iowa Nine because we had already won a silver cup two years straight, and the third year meant permanent ownership. In the first debates, the affirmative de- feated Muscatine 2 to 1 and the negative won from the same city by a 2 to 0 score. Two weeks later the affirmative journeyed to Ottumwa and won a 2 to 1 decision after a hard struggle. The negative battled with Iowa City, won 3 to 0, and the cup was ours. Winning the de- bating championship three years straight is one of the greatest tri- umphs Davenport ever had and signifies excellent coaching and ability. The Big Eight question this year was “Resolved that a federal arbitration law should be enacted to settle all labor disputes in public utilities.” The affirmative was composed of Robert Shorey, Carl Stolle, Otis Wiese (leader) while the negative was made up of Richard Ather- ton, Arno Wiese, and Louis Carroll (leader). The affirmative won a 3 to 0 decision from Moline but the negative ran up against some crude judging and lost to Rock Island. Extemporaneous work followed debating, and after a series of eli- mination contests a team composed of Otis Wiese, Eugene Carlquist, 76 Louis Carroll, Richard Atherton, and Philip Adler was chosen and de- feated Rock Island in a dual contest by a lop-sided score. Otis Wiese spoke at the Iowa Nine contest and won first place. Eugene Carlquist, who spoke in the Big Eight event, placed fourth. This finished the work for the yean As we look back we find that Davenport’s forensic reputation has once more been kept at the standard set in preceeding years. Too much credit can not be given to our coach, Mr. Keiber, who worked incessantly to keep us in the running and to whose efforts all our success is due. 77 “ And still they thuoght and still the wonder grew That their small heads could hold all they knew” LAST September marked the beginning of the first REAL High school band. Previous to that time several such organizations had existed for a longer or shorter time, but the present one is the only one which has stood the test. This June it closes a year of brilliant successes. The present band is made up of both high school and intermediate students. By admitting the intermediate students, a larger and better band is possible. Throughout the entire year there has been an attendance of over twenty at every rehearsal. The members have shown marked interest and too much credit can not be given to the most capable director, Mr. J. E. Miller. His abilities have been proven by his efforts to give us a real band. Several auditorium periods were presented during the year which were keenly appreciated by the audience. They were delivered with life and pep, yet were artistic. Like the orchestra, the band also gave programs at the Intermediate schools. Each school remembers that deilghtful period and awaits more of such entertainments next semes- ter. Judging from this brilliant beginning, there is a bright future ahead. D. H. S. awaits the time when it will have a uniformed band marching with its R. 0. T. C. battalion. Commercial Club HE Commercial club dates its first appearance back to April, 1919, but because of the war, the meetings were discontinued. It was finally reorganized Nov- ember, 1920 and since theen has been flourishing. A novel meeting was given this semester under the supervision of Mr. McClun. A mock trial, Layden vs. Layden, was the main feature. The meeting, which was an open one, was held in Study Room A, and the audience was so great that every seat in the front section was filled with two or more. The club's purposes are to promote public speaking, to gain an intimate knowledge of parliamentary law, and to learn more about business. These purposes are carried out in the meetings. Extempo- raneous contests are held and the winner is awarded one dollar. Sight- seeing trips are made among local factories and industries. The club, composed of commercial students, is enthusiastically backed by the commercial teachers. ARKED success attended the paramount effort of the Dramatic club in the presentation of the comedy, “Nothing But The Truth”. Over a thousand people attended the performance and expressed their ap- proval. The first act takes place in a Wall Street broker’s office. The hero- ine enters and requests the hero to double ten thousand dollars for her in a few days. The three partners enter into a discussion on the merits of truth in business, and the hero finally wagers the other two the ten thousand dollars that he can tell the absolute truth for twenty- four hours. Here, as the dime novel says, the plot thickens. The second and third acts are devoted to the attempts of the two partners and a fellow conspirator to make the hero lie. After many anxities the twenty-four hours are finally up, the ten thousand is won, and everything ends happily with the heroine in the hero’s arms. The play occasioned one salvo of laughs after another and all members of the cast shared in the compliments extended to the coach, Miss Barlow. 82 Hi-Y HK school year which is just closing goes down on rec- ord as the year in which the Davenport Hi-Y club was started. In previous years, so-called Hi-Y clubs have existed, but they were not recognized as such by other Hi-Y organizations. This year a group of D. H. S. fellows, influenced greatly by the Older Boys’ conference, which some of them attended last November, felt the need for a Hi-Y club and so the Davenport Hi-Y club was born. From the first there has been an attendance of about twenty at each meeting. Regular devotional services are held and a talk is given by some man who is recognized in the community as a Christian leader. One of the factors which is responsible for the success of the organi- zation was the help given by Mr. C. E. Gilman, the chairman of the advisory committee, with the help of Mr. Colletti and Mr. W. R. John- son, who were also on that committee. The importance of the Hi-Y club in the life of a high school boy can not be overestimated. It is there that he is brought into contact with higher thoughts, and it is there that his character is developed. The Hi-Y club was created for uplifting the standards of the school. From the spirit shown so far, this club is surely on the right track. Following are the officers who have piloted the club through its year: President—Donald Kern Vice-President—Robert Koch Secretary—Alvord Boeck Treasurer—Paul Krasuski Review of Pierian HE Pierian Literary society is one of the most pro- minent societies in the D. H. S. Ever since Dec. 1, 1908 it has been an organization of great interest to the girls of the school. It started with twenty-four charter members, and has grown year by year until it now has fifty members. The past year has been a record breaking year in the history of the society, this fact being due largely to the efficient leadership of the president, Hortense Finch. The object of the society is to provide programs which will be both entertaining and helpful from a literary and informational stand- point; and the results have been exceedingly gratifying during the past year. Some of the most interesting programs of the year were the fol- lowing: the history of Pierian; the initiation of new members, this last being the first of its kind in the history of the society; a talk on birds by Mr. Paarmann, which proved to be very interesting as well as in- structive; a talk on art by Miss Elizabeth Putnam; newspaper work as a vocation by Miss Kinnavey; and the entertainment of the members by the cooking classes. BOYS’ GLEE CLUB Review of Our Glee Clubs HOSE of you who have chanced to hear the soft bird- like warbles escaping from the Music room and echo- ing in the north corridor, perhaps have formed an idea as to the exceptionally fine work in our Junior and Senior Girls’ Glees and Chorus are doing this year. The Boys’ Glee club also deserves much credit for its earnest work. These clubs are under the faithful direction of Mrs. Holliday, who deserves much credit for her splendid coaching. Her ability as a director has served to produce for us an excellent Girls’ Glee, a Boys’ Glee and a large Chorus. The performance of the Girls’ Glee club on our Christmas pro- gram was a very good representation of what the club can do. The Boys’ Glee club will have an opportunity to display its ability at the Commencement exercises. At that time it will appear in sev- eral selections which will be appropriately blended with the other numbers of the Commencement program. The Girls’ Glee club, together with the Girls’ Glee clubs of Rock Island and Moline, will form a combined Glee club and have a part on the Biennial program. The Glee clubs this year have had the largest membership of their history. It is to be hoped they will always be as successful as they have been during the past twelve months. 87 Orchestra HE D. H. S. orchestra has just completed its banner year, its enrollment having tripled in the last ten months. Progress, however, has been shown not only ) in quantity but also in quality. Due to the fine directing of Miss Johannsen, the orchestra succeeded in working up some very good selections even before the first month had passed. It distinguished itself as being the first musical organization this fall to present an auditorium period and has the largest number of auditorium periods to its credit. Each new appearance has been greeted by the school with more enthusiasm, and everyone who has heard the orchestra play has been loud in his praises. In addition to these auditorium periods, the orchestra had its part on the program of the Southeast Iowa Teachers’ convention which met here in March. Later a tour was made of the Intermediate schools, a well selected and varied program being presented at each place. The D. H. S. orchestra formed the nucleus of the combined orchestra which is scheduled on the Biennial program. Other public appear- ances have been equally fine. Another accomplishment was the organizing of the “Philharmonic Society”. However, this society is merely in its infancy and will prove its worth later. 91 Review of Student Club T % I HE Student club was organized in October 19iy. with forty charter members. It has had difficulties to can- tend with and hindrances to overcome, but under the vigilant care of the officers and the advisors, the club has grown in membership, in interest, and in pur- pose. The purpose of the club is to unite its members in a spirit of friendliness and service, and to stand for the highest ideals at home, in school, at work, and in the church and community. The Student club has enjoyed a most successful year. The social service committee has been active. Baskets were packed for needy families at Thanksgiving, the poor kiddies of the city were remem- bered at Christmas, and the Mexican children were made happy at Easter. The social Committee has earned a high reputation in regard to peppy parties. All Freshmen girls were entertained at the open- ing of the fall and spring semesters. An April Fool’s party was given. The membership committee has figures to prove its progress. Starting with forty charter members, the club now boasts of approximately two hundred girls. The program committee has held a number of in- teresting meetings. Among these are a recognition meeting for new members, a discussional, and a Style show which the mothers attended. The cabinet of the Student club for 1920-21 is as follows: President _____ Vice President Secretary------ Treasurer ----- Social Service- Social — Program------- ___Pearl Weaver ___Mabel Killey ___Dorothy Evans Genevieve McGee ___Elizabeth Sala .—Bernice Martin —Hortense Finch 93 Le Cercie Francois NDER the thoughtful guidance of Miss Behnke and Miss Koch, our two French instructors, a French club called “Le Cercle Francais” was organized in April of this year. A committee was chosen to draw up a con- stitution and at the next meeting officers were elec- ted, and members of the various committees were appointed by the president, Robert Brown. The purpose of the club is to promote and foster a greater interest in the French and their language, and to show their respect and love for them. The social organization will minister to the pleasure of its members and give them additional opportunities to put their know- ledge of French into practice. All students of French in the High school who are recommended by the membership committee are elig- ible for active membership. 95 The Science Club HE Science club at the present time, with approxi- mately thirty-five paid up members, is undoubtedly in the best condition that it has been in for years. Over ten programs have been given during the past year, and on the whole they were very interesting and profitable. Some of these programs even attracted as many as sixty or seventy students. During the first semester of the year under the leadership of Arno Wiese, the club was extremely active. During the last semester Rob- ert Heeschen, also an able leader, has had under him a good working group of student members. The club is mainly constituted of upper classmen, although any- one who has studied a science is eligible for membership. The new president will have a good nucleus with which to form a new organi- zation when the school reconvenes. The Science club, at the present time, is not sufficiently appre- ciated by the students of the D. H. S., but it is hoped that during the succeeding year many more may become interested, and that it will grow and prosper. Review of Dramatic Club Activities RAMATICS, since 1917, has been a dormant activity of our D. H. S., but during this last year, it has awak- ened, grown, and flowered, and sent its fragrance abroad. It is now one of the most lively clubs we have. It has made itself known not only throughout the school and Davenport itself, but also throughout many of our neighboring high schools, who have been decidedly in- terested in its performances. Miss Edyth Barlow, with the hearty cooperation of Mr. Garlinghouse, has effected this change. The three act comedy, “Nothing But The Truth” by James Mont- gomery, was the best representative of what our dramatic work has been this year. It was considered, by good authorities, one of the finest high school productions ever offered the Davenport public. A packed auditorium enthusiastically affirmed this statement. There were also two one act skits presented during the year, which deserve much applause, for they show what can be done with the proper training. We wish to extend our heartiest congratulations to Miss Barlow and Mr. Garlinghouse for their splendid success, and sincerely hope that they will both return to us next year. 90 Girls’ Athletic Club ‘HE first thought the letters G. A. C. bring to mind is SPREAD”. How well does a member hark back to the days when Miss Long announced a spread. The Girls’ Athletic club was organized in 1912 by Miss Mabel Long, physical director. The member- ship, which is made up of girls who have excelled more or less in the art of physical culture has had an average of from fifty to seventy girls. The spring semester of 1921 has exceeded them all by a membership of ninety-five. Hikes and picnics of all kinds are held, but the favorite get to- gether is the monthly spread which is held in the gymnasium. Here the girls throw aside their maidenly reserve which is characteristic of them during the day, and act like wild Indians. There is no doubt about the immortality of the club when one beholds the spirit which is behind it. Democratic Country Club N 1919 a number of D. H. S. students were called to- gether in an attempt to frame up a picnic of some J sort. Luckily a group turned out which did stage § one of the best picnics ever hoped for; so they imme- ) diately organized as the Democratic Country club. Since then the club has made a name for itself as one of the pep- piest organizations in school. It has made some trips and staged some outings which will long be remembered for the delightful time which everyone enjoyed. These outings include trips to Anamosa and the Maquoketa caves, the Spring Brook Country club. Wild Cat den, to track meets, and a multitude of other interesting places. At every stunt the aim has been to show a democratic spirit at all times—and this purpose has been accomplished. Membership is controlled by the vote of the club itself, any mem- ber being permitted to present names of candidates. The present ac- tive membership is over fifty. Following are the present officers: Alvord Boeck—President Bernice Martin—Secretary Otis Wiese—Treasurer Eugene McKown is chairman of the social committee. The O’Neil-Peyfon Club HE O’Neil-Peyton club, a new organization in the high school, has been very active since its inauguration last fall. It is composed entirely of men who attended the R. 0. T. C. summer camp at Camp Custer, Mich. Approximately twenty men constitute the organiza- ____________tion as well as several honorary members, men who graduated last June. The officers of the organization are as follows: Robert Pollock, president; Wendell Ames, vice president; Carl Stolle, secretary; and Kenneth Beeson, treasurer. The work of the club under the general supervision of these officers has been varied and beneficial. On February 26, the first affair, which was in the form of a dance, was staged. This was free to all students of the school and was a tremendous success. During the past few months the club has been holding benefit dances for the Hoover relief fund. Four of these dances were given, the last one being held the 22nd of April. Thus pleasure was changed to profit for a very worthy charity. Altogether, about fifty dollars has been realized from these affairs and every penny of it has been donated to the fund. Probably much of the success of the club is also due to its spon- sors, Georgia Shaffer and Anne Downer. Without their help and guidance the club might have been at a loss. The O’Neil-Peyton club is an organization, which, although it is new, is very active and whose influence is already being felt in the school. u 'HIS June marks the close of a somewhat fatal year for the Davenport High school Mandolin club. The club started the year with a bright future but soon hit the shoals. The masculine and feminine members of the organization, for some reason or other, decided to divide the organization, having a Boys’ Mandolin club and a Girls’ Mandolin club. The larger per cent of the members being girls, this organization was the only one to survive. However, both before and after the reorganizing, several public appearances were made, and judging from reports, it is positive that the club did itself justice. Mrs. M. Silberstein was the club’s leader. At present it seems that the mandolin is not as popular as it has been. Several years ago the Mandolin club, then made up of boys only, delivered some of the finest musical treats heard in our audi- torium. It would be a fine thing for the school, if this old spirit were revived and a new Mandolin club started next semester. It is hoped that this step will be taken. Rifle Club Review T the close of the National Rifle Association High school match, the Rifle club witnessed the end of its most successful season, notwithstanding the fact that this year’s N. R. A. competition was the hardest and most grueling course that has been shot since the matches of 1909. When the last shot of the tenth match was fired, the club found itself in the remarkably high place of fifth in the United States,' notwithstanding the difficult course of fire which called for Ten shots offhand and ten shots prone”. The offhand stage of the match being discontinued in 1909. When the conditions of this year’s competition were announced, it found the team woefully deficient in offhand practice. Because of the ability of the offhand shooting to pull down the scores, only one member of the team received a War Department medal for making a ninety per cent score. This was Ballard who tallied with 91.1%, his nearest competitor being Boeck who finished with 83.7%. The club armament has also had a great improvement in the last year, the number of guns being increased from eight to twenty-two. A team of ten journeyed to Fort Des Moines on May 28 and re- turned on June 2. This was for the purpose of selecting a team to represent Iowa at Camp Perry in August. At the date of going to press it is not known definitely whether any of the Davenport aggre- gation made the team, as the Governor selects the team, and its fate rests in his hands. 110 i IMEflS The R. (). T. C. HE Reserve Officers’ Training Corps unit which the D. H. S. possesses is indeed an organization of which the school may well be proud. Founded under the auspices of the government, the organization has had as its purpose not so much the making of warriors and future combatants as the making of erect, dis- ciplined, strong, and clear headed youths, and loyal, patriotic citizens. To this end it has been successful. Last year, under the capable and effective guidance of Major Peyton, the unit was carried through the difficulties incident to the first steps in organization, and was rounded into such excellent shape that it was placed first among all the junior units of this district. This year, the unit, since it did not have to go through the pre- liminary steps of organization, made more rapid progress. During the year, over a hundred new recruits were enrolled. They quickly overcame the awkwardness natural to “rookies”, and were soon able to drill with the Sophomores of the course. Under Capt. Byrom the unit was organized into two companies, and temporary officers were appointed. Drill progressed smoothly and rapidly until Capt. Byrom was promoted to the rank of major, and was removed to his former position in Virginia. Robert Carmody, major of cavalry, was assigned to fill the place left vacant by Major Byrom. Major Carmody at once proved his ability to take over such a unit as was established here, and under his leadership the organization received new impetus. The unit was organized into a battalion of four companies. To provide officers for the new form of organization, examinations were given. These tests confirmed the following appointments: Battalion Commander—Major George A. Marks. STAFF First Lieutenant—Robert F. Brown, battalion adjutant Second Lieutenant—Harold Feers, battalion quartermaster NON-COMMISSIONED STAFF Sergeant Major—Philip D. Adler Color Sergeant—Richard W. Ballard Color Sergeant—Hugh D. Bradford COMPANY “A” Captain—John C. Johnson First Lieutenant—Charles R. Sellers Second Lieutenant—Robert A. Hender First Sergeant—Richard H. Atherton Sergeants—Harry T. Petersen, Jack K. Mason, Enoch and McKinley Jordan. in MAJOR CARMODY AND HIS STAFF COMPANY “B” Captain—William C. Rust First Lieutenant—Wendall D. Ames Second Lieutenant—Eugene V. Carlquist First Sergeant—Ralph H. Kloppenburg Sergeants—Alvord L. Boeck, Loring F. Pollock, Charles E. Korn, and Roland L. Schmidt COMPANY T Captain—Herbert J. Buck First Lieutenant—Harold M. Linton Second Lieutenant—Theodore A. Emeis First Sergeant—Kenneth C. Beeson Sergeants—Elroy R. Goodell, Fred R. Fuchs, Lloyd R. Nordstrom, and Jack C. Harper COMPANY D” Captain—Austin J. Goddard First Lieutenant—Robt. D. Heeschen Second Lieutenant—Waldo D. Regennitter First Sergeant—Donald Kerns. Sergeants—Robert W. Pollock, Francis L. Hinchliffe, George M. Heeschen, and Robert A. Fuchs The unit has made material advancement this year, in spite of the fact that drill has been seriously handicapped during the latter part of the season by a lack of grounds suitable to drill on. The work of last year was carried on into more advanced phases, and more involved and complicated movements were practised. Several expert riflemen were turned out at target practice, and the Davenport rifle team won eighth place in a contest between all units, both junior and senior, of this district, and first place in the class composed only of high school units. As a whole, the work and progress accomplished by the R. O. T. C. unit this year has been very satisfactory indeed, and there is every reason to believe that more rapid advancement will be made next year. 113 MAJOR ROBERT CARMODY Major Carmody, who also served meritoriously during the World War, was appointed to succeed Major Byrom.. The major worked his way up to his present high position by means of his ability as a leader, his keen foresight, and his indefatigable perseverence. From the very outset, the major proved to be very popuplar among the members of the R. 0. T. C., and it was due to his personality as much as to hi's expert direction that the unit was characterized by so much pep”, enthusiasm, and cooperation after his arrival. It is hoped that Major Carmody will be with us for some time to come. CAPTAIN JAMES F. BY ROM Captain Byrom was appointed to succeed Major Peyton. He is a West Point graduate, and served overseas during the World War in the capacity of major of infantry. After his return, he was appointed inspector of the fourth district of the R. 0. T. C., and was later de- tailed to the Fishburne Military Academy as professor of military sci- ence and tactics. Capt. Byrom took up the work where it was left oft by Major Peyton and carried it along creditably until he was promoted to the rank of major, and was removed to his former position in the Fishburne Military Academy. SERGEANT HALL Everyone knows Sgt. Kail. The Sergeant has been with the unit from the time it was organized, and he has come to be looked upon as indispensable. He has proved to be very popular, not only among those who come into direct contact with him as members of the unit, but with other members of the student body as well. The Sergeant is an excellent instructor, and is rightfully known as the rookie’s friend”. The entire school desires the old soldier” to have a per- manent connection with the local unit. SERGEANT GREGORY Sergeant Gregory although a very new addition to the staff of instructors, has already gained great popularity among the members of the unit. The Sergeant came here from Jefferson Barracks, Mis- souri, where he was in the recruiting service. He at once made him- self at home with his new duties, and has established a reputation for being a competent and able instructor. There is hope that Sergeant Gregory, too, will be allowed to remain by the government next year to help the unit along and to keep it a real live and “peppy” organi- zation. Class Play, Will and Prophecy “The Big Idea” Class Play Cast Top Row: Ercial Craig, Gertrude Bird, Fred Fuchs Second Row: Paula Braunlich, Lawrence Evans, Irwin Sindt, Helen Philips Bottom Row: George Marks, Richard Atherton, Eloise Johnson, Richard Toll 115 “The Big Idea” «BBS! T I § E class play for this year is “The Big Idea”, a drama with a cast of eleven characters. Richard Toll takes the part of Richard Howard, son of a New York banker who has lent twenty thousand dollars of the bank’s funds to a friend. The friend turns out to be a crook who escapes without for embezzlement. When Dick learns of his father’s trouble, he decides to kill him- self so that his twenty-five thousand dollar insurance policy may save the family from the disgrace which would surely follow a visit of the bank examiners. He has just made his intention known to his friend Bob Coswell, when Eloise Johnson as Elaine Foster, Elsie Howard’s chum, comes to the rescue with the idea of writing a play to raise the money. Accordingly the two begin the work, and after many interruptions from Dick’s family, finally succeed in completing the play, and in sel- ling it to Charles Gilmore, for the necessary amount. The required “heart interest” is supplied throughout the play by the young people, Dick, Elaine, Bob. and Elsie, so that al the close of the play the “happy ending” is made possible. All in all, with its humerous and dramatic moments, “The Big Idea” is a delightful play. The cast is as follows: Richard Howard-------------------------------------Richard Toll James Howard-----------------------------------------Irwin Sindt Robert Coswell -----------------------------Lawrence Evans Mr. Byrne -----------------------------------------Richard Atherton Chas.

(Rising curtain discovers Judge Sellers sleeping at desk.) (Enter newsboy.) Newsboy: “Big Riot at the Ramona Paarman Dance Hall! City editor badly mangled!” (Judge wakens and buys paper. Exit newsie.) Judge (reading): The Daily Blowout” is bemoaning the sad fate of its city editor, Mr. Lawrence Evans, who was killed in a riot at the Ramona Paarman dance hall last night. It seems that Kid Claypool, pugilist of American Legion fame, upon entering the hall, found Evans in the arms of Mrs Claypool, formerly Laura Coss of the D. H. S. During the free-for-all that followed, “Candy” was rudely thrown to the pavement, and Viola Nelson, the ivory tickler, grabbed the piano and rushed out undetected, followed wildly t y Lucile Walrod, Margaret Adams, and Alice Kuehl, the ball room favorites. Mrs. Evans, nee Eloise Johnson, was last seen rushing to the bank for the insurance money.” (Judge hunts wildly for the cuspidor, which is supplied by porter, just entering.) Judge: “Schmidt, bring in the cases!” (Policeman enters with speeder.) Judge: What is the charge against this man?” Police: “Speedin’, yer Honor.” He hands a written report to the judge.) Judge: “Your name is Kenneth Kinsler? Have you anything to say for yourself?” Kinsler: “I was speeding down to the Katherine Behrens Beauty parlor, where Bob Koch is demonstrating Peach Bloom rouge. My wife wanted a jar of it, and my rusty old Overland was hitting 15 Pries, Ed. Kaufman, and Kenneth Kinsler CAST OF CHARACTERS Judge ___ Newsboy Porter __ Policeman Herbert Schmidt Charles Sellers .Elmer Layden Ercil Craig SCENE I. Time Place Early morning __Police court miles per, when I was arrested by Officer Waldo Brandt, right in front of the Clement Watts Dry Goods emporium. “Pete” Knierem of the law firm of Knierem and Pollock was with me, but he jumped out and went up to his office.” Judge: “Ten dollars and costs!” (Speeder dumps the contents of a small satchel onto the floor. The Judge, seeing an enormous roll of bills, appears dizzy.) Judge (rapping): Contempt of Court! You’re fined fifty dollars extra.” (Speeder pays and exits.) Judge (to porter): “Well, Craig, how’d the little party at Pete Phelps’ new place, the “Greasy Spoon”, come out last night?” Porter: Boss, we had a rude time, all right. Pete’s got the B. U. M. quartette down there now.” Judge: “That so? Who’s in it?” Porter: “0, Milly Woods, Liz. Sala, Lee Kohrs, and Marie Struve.” Judge: “Say, Steve, how’s their line?” Porter: Judge, they sure have swell voices for cooling soup.” (Enter policeman with accused; hands Judge written report.) Police: “Another case, yer Honor.” Judge (glancing at report): “Mr. McKown, you are charged with carrying concealed weapons. Guilty or not guilty?” McKown: “Not guilty.” Judge (to policeman): Have you any evidence?” (Cannon is brought in.)

They are in league with Rev. Herbert Buck, Veterinary surgeon Donald Guy, Professor Ed. Kaufman, and R. R. engineer Art 'Meyers. These afore- 123 said persons are accused of receiving goods stolen from the Dishinger and Regennitter grocery store.” Judge: “Dismiss the case to the grand jury.” (Exit police and two women. Enter Richard Atherton.) Dick: Well, if it isn’t my old friend Chuck Sellers!” Judge: Well, if it isn’t my old friend Dick Atherton!” (Shake hands.) Dick: “I just returned from a trip around the world. Thought I’d drop in and talk over old times.” Judge: Yes, Dick, the good old days at the D. H. S. By the way, old man, what’s Arno Wiese doing these days? And Dick Toll, and old Johnny Hinrichsen?” Dick: Last time I saw Wiese he had painted a prize picture called “The Height of My Ambition”. It was the figure of Georgia Shaffer standing beside a measuring stick that registered six feet. Toll, they say, is utilizing his shaggy locks by demonstrating Tiger” hair tonic at the Emeis and Ohlsen Five and Ten Cent stores. As for Hinrich- sen, after his fine training in “Emigration” debates at the D. H. S. he was able to procure a position in the delousing plant at Ellis Island. By means of his influence in this direction, he is able to contract for a lot of cheap foreign labor in behalf of the George Marks Railway Combine.” Judge: But you haven’t told me anything about Hoppe and Daasch! What became of those two speed demons?” Dick: “Well, Daasch is quite a favorite with the women these days. He lectured before the Ladies Aid on “Improved Methods of Dish Washing”. Hoppe is now working at the Sindt brewery.” Judge: Have you heard the latest? Sarah Louise Klein and Karl Free have opened the Freak-Line studio in the Malonnie Houvenagle building. Claude Brown has made a name for himself by posing as little Dan Cupid, and Wendell Ames makes a heart-breaking Romeo. Bob Schick is washing windows in this establishment. And say, what do you think’s in town? The Famous Vern Wortman bathing beauties.” Dick: “Bathing beauties? Who are they?” Judge: Bessie Friday, Arline Voss, Eda Engel, Lila Harrington, Virginia Williams and Carrie Ade.” Dick: “Say Chuck, where they showing? Let’s go ” Judge: “At the Charlotte Opperman Opera House.” Dick: I’ll be ready about (takes out watch) er—say,—” Judge: “When do we eat?” Dick: “Where do we eat?” Judge: “Let’s try John Johnson’s wienie palace in Bettendorf.” Dick: “Naw, I never did like him.” Judge: Well, I don’t know. He has surely some wicked looking waitresses out there. You must know some of them: Gertrude Bird. Paula Braunlich, Mary Concannon, and Marjory Taylor. Dick: “All right. I'll meet you at Van Patten’s boarding house at 6:30. Good-bye, old scout.” (Exits.) Judge: “S’long.” (Rings the bell.) (Enter an old woman raving.) Woman: “Give me justice! Give me justice! My nice clean side- walk! 0, the contemptible wretch—and red-headed at that!” Judge (bangs on table): “What is your plea, madam?” Woman: “Plea? Plea? 0, the wretch!” Judge: “Calm yourself, madam.” Woman: “I am Gertrude Burmeister, sir. I used to know you. And now this far famed Kenton Vickery, the aesthetic dancing teacher, takes his exercise right before my house—on roller skates!” Judge: “Have you any evidence?” Woman: “Evidence? Well er—my boarders, Katherine Greer and Mabel Killey, his star pupils, know this to be true.” Judge: “Produce the evidence and I will hear the case.” (Exit woman.) Judge (musingly): “Kenton Vickery a dancing teacher! That’s as good as Hortense Finch’s turning to mechanics. Some one told me yesterday that Hortense had invented a shoe horn that will facilitate the trying on of hats for the customers of the Nebergall millinery establishment.” (Judge sighs and takes up morning paper.) Judge (reads): “Arthur Fleming and Harold Buckley have opened a shoe shining parlor. Mr. Fleming and Mr. Buckley advertise that any one-legged man can have two shines for five cents.” (reads) “Situ- ation wanted by experienced fast driver; can dress to conform to speed: no bad habits except mania for sonorous neckties.—Applicant, Herbert Wagner.” (reads) “A man with a wooden leg desires position in a restaurant as potato smasher.—Applicant, K.

Reporter: “I am Roland Schmidt, representing the Strobehn Scan- dal sheet. What’s the news today? Judge (handing him the bundle of papers) “Here, look ’em over yourself.” (Goes on sorting mail.) Reporter: “Ah, here’s something for my marriage license column: George Petersen of Walcott, Wilma Petersen of Fishtown, Harry Peter- sen of Watertown, and Helen Petersen of Mount Pleasant, figure in a double wedding.” Judge: “What’s this? Here’s another petition for the admittance of a carnival, “The Mary MahafTey Musical Mess”, to be exact. That’s a pretty rough sounding name. I doubt whether we should let them in. Do you know anything about them?” Reporter: Know it? Sure, I saw it when I was in Squashville re- porting the speech of Senator Donald Kern. Some of our old gang are in it. Let me see. Violet Feustel is the human skeleton, and Meredith Waite is Tubby Tilly. Then there’s Margaret Craig, the wild woman of Borneo, Earl Larson, the sword walker, assisted by Robert Heeschen the fire eater. 0, and as to the diving darling, you should see Irma Goettig who has made a name for herself by her diving act. They say she can dive into five inches of water and never come up again.” Judge: “Well, well. Here’s a letter from Edna Asplund, the poe- tess, who writes for the Rube Goldberg cartoons. Let me read it to you: “Friend Judge: Received your letter of the twenty-fifth. Will say That I met Miss Alberta Brandt in town the other day. She’s working in a harness shop for a couple of Irish jews. And having a little time to spare, she told me all the news. It seems that Margaret Hallauer and Genevieve McGee Now run a lady-barber shop in Podunk-by-the-Sea. It is said that every other day they have a piece of pie R something in the restaurant that’s run by Alice Meyer. Tessie Doellinger, she says, is performing at a Fair, Doing the aeroplane-jumping stunt, the same as Ethel Dare.” Reporter (still rummaging with papers): “Pardon me, Judge, that reminds me of something Marguerite Allen, the usher at the Crystal theatre, told me. She thinks you’ll be interested to know that Lydia Wells and George Boege are making good on their onion farm near the Iowana Dairy, and that Clara Eckerman and Etta Rohwedder are tak- ing turns at playing the grind organ at Coney Island.” Judge: “Fine, but how did this letter remind you of that?” Reporter: “0 well, you see it’s so different.” Judge (looking flabbergasted): “Well, let’s finish this letter”— (reads): “Well, I must close now and go down and get a bite of dinner. 0, by the way, Bill Jennings has become a chronic sinner—” Reporter: “Yea, I heard he is hanging around the cabaret where Helen Caniff scratches the floor for a living. Guess he’s got a job in a boiler factory, polishing monkey wrenches.” Judge (throwing letter on desk): Great Scott! Nothing turns out as we expect it. I suppose some one will tell me that Mike Phillips is a million dollar movie star or a snake charmer in a side show!” Reporter: “0. no! Mike Phillips and Thelma Camp have gone to the Fiji Islands to civilize the savages to the point where they will wear spit-curls. Hazel Craig is Nazimova’s understudy.” (Judge slumps—exhausted.) (Curtain.) 126 WONDER SON OF PHYSICS’ PROF. W. ARCH NICHOLS (The Untied Press Service.) Nahant, Iowa, June 64, 1942 — A son was born to Mr. and Mrs. W. Arched Nichols. The boy opened its eyes and after blinking awhile gave a cry that was close to “Seven”. Me- dical men from all over the state are present examining this wonder in- fant, who imitates his father’s very actions and words when but a few hours of age. For the first time yesterday the babe cried for nourishment. The lad was given several loafs of sugar but did not eat. Instead, it fumbled with them in an odd manner in his right hand and cried to be put on the floor. There the child picked up a burnt match and nervously dotted geome- trical figures on the faces of the sugar cubes, at the same time utter- ing “Seven’ and “Horsie”. Medics account for the lad’s in- tense cradle knowledge of geometry through his father, who is a professor of physics. “Horsie” is an archaic term, and especially the last words which the child connects with them, “Horsie on you”. Today the boy rattled his freckled cubes to his delight, gracefully let- ting them glide from his right hand and once emiting what might be as- sociated with profanity. MISS HELEN HOURS DISCOVERS NEW METHOD Nahant, Iowa, Sept. 1, 1935. (Spe- cial) Miss Helen Jurisprudence Kohrs, the famous scientist and inventress, who won success through her inven- tion of rustless corset stays has added another laurel to her already herbi- vorous crown by the invention of a process to condense meat by distilla- tion. Miss Kohrs is a graduate of the Davenport High school and of the Rock Island Barber college. After completing her education, she landed a job down at the slaughter house putting the hogs through a system of calisthenics to keep them in condi- tion for butchering. From this posi- tion she was promoted to the throne of door tender in the bone drying department. Through this sedentary position, she is rapidly assuming the rotund proportions of the well-known Congressional pork-barrels, and it is hoped that she may profit by the example she set the swine in the palmy days of her prime. 12ft JOHN JOHNSON ANSWERS CALL Swedona, III., May 32, 1961. (Spe- cial)—John C. Johnson, the noted “snus” manufacturer, died at his home at 3:30 A. M. after a lingering illness which has been lingering since he was eleven years old. This ail- ment was in the nature of a mental derangement which resolved itself into a kleptomania for frankfurters and wieners of all flavors. John Claus Johnson was born on the banks of the Mississippi at an early age. After getting the pink sheet from the LeClaire grade school, he drew lots to see which school he would grace with his pres- ence, and the fatal one fell to the Davenport High school. His great uplift to mankind was the improvement of the brand of Co- penhagen breakfast food used by the Minnesota lumber jacks. Previous to his advent to the North Woods, the jacks chewed the famous “Brown Gravy” brand, but confident that he could improve the functioning of this confection, he added ammonium va- lerianate and potassium nitrate. Finding that his idea worked to per- fection, he built an elaborate factory and at the present writing is dead, defunct, extinct and without life. He is survived by fourteen sons and three daughters, his wife, Arrah Bella and numerous grandchildren we know not of. $. 000 REWARD—DEAD OR ALIVE!! Sing Sing, N. Y., Aug. 6, 1948. (Special) Richard Constantine Ather- ton, known to the underworld as “Pash”, escaped today by sawing the bars of his cell. It will be remem- bered that he was put up for an in- termediate sentence, “from one to twenty years,” in 1940. In 1944, he was about to be par- doned on account of his good beha- vior, but he was nearly saved the trouble by the fact that the women’s infirmary caught fire. During the fire he distinguished himself by conspicuous bravery. While the building was burning, he carried out thirty-seven nurses, but when the fire was over he wanted to carry them back in. He was re- strained with difficulty. Queer as it may seem, this hard- ened criminal has had a fairly good education, having graduated from the Davenport High school. While there he established and maintained a re- putation as a lady charmer, and to this day holds the title of champion male vamp of Scott county. Atherton was also noted for his craftiness. To illustrate: before es- caping the toils of the law, he took great pains in destroying all pictures of himself, including those in the rogue’s gallery. Therefore the only likeness available is one taken many years ago, after a canoe ride around Credit Island. Following is a description of the fugitive: Born: yes, once. Nativity: Baptist. Married or single: Has been both. Hair: Thin. Eyes: Two. Parents alive yet: Not yet. Voice: Weak. Healthy: Sometimes. 129 2+sa SENATOR VAN PATTEN IN RE- FORM LEGISLATION EMILY VAN PATTEN (By the Agraphic Press) Reno, Nevada, Feb. 30, 1932—Under the class of crank legislation, went two reform bills introduced in the Senate chamber today by Senator Van Patten, former contributing edi- tor of “Saucy Stories” and erstwhile proprietress of the LeClaire, Iowa, gallery of terpsichore. The virginal countenance of the author of the bills helped materially to secure their introduction. The first sections of the bill are as follows: “Be it enacted by the General As- sembly of the State of Nevada: “Section I. That every male adult of the age of 18 or over be compelled by law to wear smoked glasses on days when the mean velocity of the wind shall exceed 15 miles per hour. “Section II. That any alley or by- way be prohibited from running into a city street.” In urging the adoption of her first measure, Miss Van Patten stated: “I was an innocent girl, knowing noth- ing of the evil ways of the world. He asked me to bob my hair; I meekly obeyed. He said I appeared more like “Innocence’. Then my husband departed for work. Soon after, he was brought home as thin as a blot- ter. They said a steam roller had done it. While he was watching two girls at a crossing, a gust of wind had come.” JOURNALIST ANSWERS CALL KENTON FRANK VICKERY By the Assassinated Press.) East St. Louis, Missouri, Jau. 0, 1988—The journalistic profession and the musically charged of America mourn the loss of Hon. Kenton K. Vickery. Vickery attempted song in his early life, but his unruly passion was newspapering. His first ditty was yelept “He Didn’t Like Her Apartment, So He Knocked Her Flat”. He was also the composer of “We Moved Next to the Jail, So We Could Be Near Father” and “It’s a Wise Fish that can Read Between the Lines”. He never went before an audience—they went before him. The staff of “Life” was elevated by Vickery. When still a youth he committed matrimony. But few years turned those auburn tresses of hair to white. Vickery was a lay inventor, having originated the folding dice. To honor his memory every pool hall in East St. Louis will close its doors five minutes today at 11 o’clock. All pool rooms having no doors must comply with the mayor’s order by nailing boards over their portals. In 1956 Kenny was nominated by a caucus of nine to become assistant police matron. 130 A SHOUT HISTORY OF THE WAR By Sergeant Kali Now cough. Sign here. “When do we eat? Haven’t any 8’s.
