CLASS COLORS Blue -and Silver. Page Sixty-eight The Juniors BEING Inter than ever in organizing did not hinder the members of the Junior class from falling whole-heartedly into the activities of the school during 1923 and 1924. The club member- ships contain a goodly number of Junior namei while on athletic track, field or court, members of the class of ’25 indispensable. The Juniors kept up their traditional series of dances during the school year in a manner that docs justice to the past performances of previous Junior social committees. In fact the Blue and Silver of the Class of 1925 was kept bright by the work of its followers in the activities of the D. H. S. When the graduation of the Class of 1924 oc- curs this June and marks the time of the change of the Juniors to Seniors. D. H. S. will be assured of an excellent and capable senior class. Page Sixty-nine Page Seventy Athletics DAVKNPORT COACHING STAFF Page Seventy-two Athletics During 1923' 24 'I' A KEN all in all the three major teams of the X Davenport High school enjoyed successful seasons. The part played by Coach Jesse K. Day in making this a successful year can not be lauded too highly. He through his superior coach- ing ability placed football on a higher standard in D. H. S. than it had ever been before: through his faith and interest in track athletics the Red and Blue track team was made a real team. That phase of school spirit which makes toward whole-hearted support of the athletic teams was accented more and more only by the personality of Day, the new factor in athletics at D. H. S. Bas- ketball came in for its share readily enough and a powerful team, winners of the district tourna- ment and runners up in the sectional tourney, re- sulted from the efforts of Bornholdt and Trumbo. Davenport’s coaching stafT composed of Day, Bornholdt, Trumbo and Bridge deserve much credit for their efforts. The scope of Davenport’s athletic contests was broadened considerably. A powerful football team was broight from Chicago to play the locals on • Thanksgiving Day. the track team attended the Drake Relays for the first time in the history of the school, these facts are in themselves evidence of the growth of Red and Blue athletic competi- tion. Although “Athletics for all is not exactly the slogan of Davenport’s athletic department, it is safe to say that a larger number of students were engaged in rigid competition for berths than ever before. Sixty candidates stayed through the sea- son for football, a large number of candidates re- ported for basketball until the cuts were made, a squad of forty reported regularly during the five months of the track season, all of which facts go to show the greatly increased interest taken in ath- letics. CHEER LEADERS SKIFF DAWSON Page Seventy-four jf it n t h a 11 THE FOOTBALL SQUAD The Football Season THE football season of 1923 had for the Dav- enport team five victories, three losses nnd one tie. a very Rood record when the cal- ibre of the opposition is considered. D. H. S. had a total of 112 points to its opponents’ -18 counters. Coach Jesse Day, new to the Davenport school, opened up the season in what looked :g be cham- pionship form, the team winning the first four consecutive games without a tally chalked up against them. However, stiff opposition marred the latter part of the season. Day's men went into the first encounter on Saturday, September 29. with West Liberty on the locals' lot. Consistent gains were torn off by the Red and Blue backs from the first and it was in the initial play jf the second quarter that Rath, receiving Armil’s pass, went over for the first touchdown of tho season. Brookhart kicked goal twice out of three trials for the 20-0 score. Whirlwind style marked the Red and Blue’s form in the second game when they blew Muscatine to the small end of a 41-0 score. The first half was fought on a fairly even basis. Daven- port chalking up but one touchdown. In the sec- ond half, however, the Davenport backlicld com- pletely perforated the opposing line with short line bucks which characterized the locals' manner of play. The following week Iowa City, a tougher nut to crack, came to Bismarck Field to be laced with a 14-0 score. The habitual jinx which faces Daven- port when the Red and White outfit lines up was tucked away. The game was one featured by the good playing of every one of the twenty-two men on the field. When Iowa City was finally subdued Davenport team fans felt that at last they had a superlative crew. However. Coach Day did not allow his charges to get into that frame of mind; instead, he drilled them hard for the Washington clash the following week. Brookhart showed his worth when he put away two touchdowns for the locals. A high wind played havoc with punts and passes and penalties THE SEASON’S SCIIEIHT.E Svpt. !9 Davenport v . tint Liberty, here Oct. t -Davenport v . Mu «cat Ine, here -..... Oct. 13 Davenport v«.

Davenport’s slogan of being unscored on” was stuck away in the cabinet in the following game when Davenport battled North Des Moines to « 3-3 tie. “That man Devine” proved the terror of the locals who saw in him the first real triple threat man they had been up against during the season. Brookhart. kicking from placement, tied the pnme in the third quarter. The final quarter saw both teams opening up with aerial attacks in the hope of netting a touchdown, but all were unsuccessful. November came and with it on Saturday, the 2nd. Davenport’s annual grid tussle with Clinton, this year on the Red and Black grounds. A large number of Davenport fens went up to sco the Clin- tonites wallow to a 6-0 victory over the Rod r.ud Blue. This was the first time in six years that Clinton had beaten a Dav- enport team and how they relished it! A wei and slippery field put the quietus on fanciful plays and heavy smashing was the menu for the m;.in part. se-o 41-0 14-0 IC.0 3-3 0-6 I -I3 0-6 The Armistice Day game this year was with Rock Island and ;after much dickering was played on Douglas field. Fumbles on the part of the Dav- enport backs, alternated with brilliant pieces of play, marked this as one of the most thrilling games of the season. Resulting in a 15-13 win for the Red and Blue, the game was a victory for Dav- enport in its only tri-city game. In a game which by a!! the laws of chance should have been a 0-0 combat, Ottumwa defeated the locals with a lone touchdown. Two Daven- port rooters witnessed the game which was played on Ottumwa's field. Within the last three minutes of play Ottumwa’s fullback intercepted a desperate pass of the locals nnd sprinted to victory. , A long period of training for tho big Thanksgiving Day game was then ahead for the Red and |K!ue. The (Continued on Page 96.) Page Seventy-seven CAPTAIN CLEO BROOKHART Captain Brookhart at half back was one of the hardest hitting backs in the squad. He had lots of fight and could in'still it in the team. He was. in fact, ideal for any combination of play whatever and was an excellent hackfield man whether on de- fense or ofTense. His speed and fight will be sorely missed next year. FOOTBALL COACH JESSE E. DAY Coach Day in his first month at D. H. S. taught the boys more football than they had learned in years and with prospects none to good built a team of superior quality noted for its fight (ask some- one who saw the Thanksgiving Day game) and ag- gresiveness at all times in the game. Coach Day established himself a reputation some years ago when he played half back on one of Grinnell Colleges “still spoken of teams. Not con- tent with drumming the theory side of the game into the heads of his players every morning and making them work in the afternoon, he came on the practice field himself in football togs and showed them how it was done. CAPTAIN-ELECT WUNSCHEL “Gus’’ Wunschel, one of the pillars of strength of the forward wall of the squad and who played left tackle for two years for the Red and Blue has great things expected of him next year. Through his great size he is a stumbling block to many line plays and his ability to crash through an opposing wall to smear up an opposing play is remarkable. Page Seventy-eight BAKER Guard “Slim” was one of the largest men on the team, and. towering above the majority of his opponents, he was able to pick great holes for the local backs to go through. At punting, when occasion called, the Red and Blue six-footer was sterling in qua- lity Baker played his last year of scholastic foot- ball in '23. HILL ......................... End Jim” was a consistent heady player who was especially adept at snatching passes out of the air. He worked well on the right wing of the Red and Blue machine and showed his real worth in the final game of the season. Speed in getting in an opposing backfield marked Hill as a dangerous op- ponent. KINTSLER Quarterback “Bowser at quarterback proved himself an able pilot as well as an individual player of ability. At running back punts he rated high among the Dav- enport backs and Kinsler was adept at passes. At all times cool and calm the Davenport quarterback was well qualified for the berth. RATH End “I efty” scored the first touchdown of the sea- son by being on the receiving end of a pass. This passing combination—Armil to Rath -was the cause of many gains for the Red and Blue colors. Rath was exceptionally good at stopping end rushes com- ing his way, and he was fast and good at running down punts. Page Seventy-nine BENSON Guard Bill” was one of the smallest men on the Hist string and was able to fit into a guard position an - time. He was fast on his feet and possessed of an ability to slip through an opposing line nine times out of ten. and then invariably mussed up a play in the opponent’s backfield. WALDVOGEL Tackle “Larry , playing his third year of scholastic football, was a tower of strength for the Red and Blue. Shifted from end. where he had played be- fore, to tackle, he was fast and aggressive and able to use his hands to advantage. Furthermore, he was a hard, accurate tackier. ARMIL Fullback Jim , the hardest hitting and heaviest back of the Davenport outfit, was responsible for a large part of the gains made by the Red and Blue team. Armil's chief prowess lay in his ability to gain through the line: in long passes he was good also. Armil was the heaviest man in the backfield. MILLER Halfback “Jerry proved of much offensive strength through his end runs, while on the defense and in open combat he was a hard, sure tackier. Miller was another of tho backfield that rarely lost his head in the game and through this quality was able to sense an opposing play almost uncannily. rage Eighty HOOYER Quaitcrback “Roy” alternated at quarterback and fit in well in any combination and play in the Davenport re- pertoire. He was good at end runs, although slow in getting started, he could increase his speed rapidly and was a hard man to stop when carrying the ball. Sure tackling was another of his qua- lities. JEBENS Halfback “Hap” was another end-running back who did much gaining for the Red and Blue. He could pass well and fit in Davenport’s short plays excep- tionally well. He occasionally piloted the crew and showed ability at this position too. Jebens wes an- other that played his last year of scholastic foot- ball in '23. WITTER Center Al” was a fixture on the forward wall of the locals and played a consistent game of good foot- ball in every clash. Witter did not have a bad pass from center chalked up against him all season and this fact coupled with his strength on the defen- sive, made him of inestimable value to the Red and Blue forces. HONORABLE MENTION CampbeU, halfback Maslrogany. tackle Fanth, guard Hagendorf, tackle ALBRECHT Guard Butch” on the left side of the wall was a main- stay and fixture upon which Coach Day could de- pend. His plugging and his ability to stop center smashes ofttimes forced an opposing pilot to try some other style of play. Albrecht showed his worth chiefly on the defensive. Page Eighty-one Minor Sports During The Year MINOR «port , of which there are but two wrestling and tennis did not have such a successful year as the three major sports enjoyed, although promise is given of greater ac- complishments in these fields next year. Perhaps the greater interest which was displayed in track, football and basketball accounts for the back seat accorded wrestling. A large squad however reported to Coach Dave Henschen at the beginning of the wrestling sea- son and after a long period of practice selected members of the team were pitted against repre- sentatives of Ottumwa in a dual meet there. The result was disappointing for all Red and Blue men except Baker lost their matches. Stanton. Knccht, Nath. Geertz and Chatman were the other men who made up the Davenport squad. When the time for the state wrestling tourna- ment at Ames rolled around, the team, so the re- port ran. was afflicted with boils, and consequently Davenport did not have a representation there. Thus closed the wrestling season of 1923-’24. but not without gain, for some good material was un- covered. Inter-study room basketball was a new thing last spring, designed to supplant the inter-class basketball games. Teams from all study rooms in the school in answer to an open challenge by Study Room L met during a week in March in a monster tourney held in the D. H. S. gymnasium. One of the Study Room B teams forced out Study Room A in the finals for the championship. Tennis had no official standing in the activities of the Red and Blue during the year, although it had been the hope of many students to stage a ten- nis tournament such as the one in 1922. Two stu- dents of the school however participated at their own expense in the state tennis tournament at Iowa City but found themselves in loo good com- pany to place. Stackhouse and Wolf were the Dav- enport students who were there. “Ye olde” sport of horseshoe pitching which dur- ing the past two years has been so popular with D. H. S. students that courts were erected south of the manual arts buildings for the tournaments gen- erally held in June, was another minor sport that failed to “repeat '. Nevertheless it is expected that these sports will regain their hold in the list of activities of the I). H. S. next year with the result that more stu- dents will be attracted into doing some thing con- nected with the school outside of the regular cur- riculum.

From a squad of fighting cagers. Coach Bornholdt whipped into shape a team that worked its way well up the scale towards cham- pionship honors, defeating on the way some of the toughest aggregations in the state. The opening game was on the local floor, the J. B. Young Intermediate gymnasium, and the Red and Blue showed good style when they laced the Geneseo quintet by a 16-6 count. Although 'he Davenport fellows weie unable to locate the hoop with great efficiency nev- ertheless their team work was of a good calibre. The following week spelled defeat for the locals when Wilton un- expectedly' gave them the small end of a 7-8 score. It was a hotly conte ted battle with tight guard- ing on the part of both teams. The smallness of the scores belies the shooting of both fives. Following this defeat the Red and Blue squad, having improved their basket eyes, wallcped Grinnell — quite unex- pectedly — 16 to 6, and three days afterward Rock Island which had__________ one of the poorest teams in its history by a 20-13 count. This spirt of vic- tories ended abruptly when on its first trip of the season I). H. was downed by Oskaloosa 29 to 16. Oskaloosa’s center was the main cog in the vic- torious machine. A quick rally was made and several teams suf- fered defeat at the hands of the Red and Blue quint, notably Clinton, which had invaded Daven- port with three hundred r'ooters. The ten pins which dropped before the locals were Clinton. 17- 14, Geneseo, 17-16, Iowa City. 21 17, and Rock Island again with a seven point margin. 15-8. The locals di played rare form in team work, shooting and floor work in all of these games.

Having swept aside four opponents in succes- sion Davenport dropped a game before the fast and furious Dubuque team on the local's floor. The game which ended 17 to 14 was played at a terrific pace and proved to be one of the most spectacular clashes ever, witnessed on this floor. By now. the middle of the season, the personell of the crew was fairly we'I established. Led by Captain Eggert, guard, the team was composed of Black, Armil, Tenenbom. Asman. Rath, Campbell and Mosier who had just entered school at the be- ginning of the spring se- mester. The crew now going in excellent form won the remaining games scheduled before the Mus- catine tournament with- out much difficulty. Mus- catine took a drubbing in spite of their excellent defensive plays, the Alum- ni, made up of Dau. Less, Jaeger, Frandsen, and sev- eral other ex-D. H. S. stars fell to a 22-13 count, revenge for the former beating was ob- tained from Dubuque con- trary to all dope. Score, _ 32-13! The game was put on ice by a series of bas- kets in the first few minutes of play. Then came a period of prepara- tion for the Muscatine tourney. Dav- enport passed through the opposition in great style, defeating University High in the finals. All of Daven- port's four games in this tournament were decisive victories, no one-point affairs cropping up. A silver cup was given to the crew for their ef- forts. A week later came the sectional tourney at Ottumwa with keener competition, following th weeding out of a number of the ether teams (Continued on Page 96) 3S5-S7I Page Eighty-five ii I BASKETBALL COACH NEWTON BORNHOLDT Coach Bornholdt during this season turned out another good team to live in the annals of the Red and Blue. His years of experience in the coaching game have won him a name among the high school circles of Iowa and it is largely through his efforts that Davenport basketball teams can compete favorably with the be t and themselves have been, in the past, the best—state champions. CAPTAIN DON EGGERT Guard Captain Eggert was one of the steady depend- able guards who played a faultless game through- out the season and all in all proved himstelf an able captain. It was his excellent defensive work which stopped many of the fast teams in the district and sectional tournaments from putting the Red and Blue colors out sooner than was the case. Not only was he a bulwark of strength for the team but his work for two years has won com- mendation from newspaper critics when compar ing him with other players in the tri-citie-. Page Eighty-six BLACK Guard Captain-elect Black playing his second year of inter-scholastic basketball was a mainstay at one of the buard berths throughout the season. He i? a heady player, possessed of much knowledge of floorwork, dependable at all times, and totally lack- ing the desire to “take a chance and shoot for the basket rather than pass to a foiward up ahead. MOSIER Foiwa d Mosier broke into the basketball circle in the middle of the season and fit into the team like a nickel in the slot. His basket shooting ability was what earned his position and this, bolstering up the offensive department, made Davenport a team to be reckoned with. Added to his other qualities was much endurance. A. mil frcm a guard position to :he pivot berth. Armil catered to the spectacular and his long. f-uc ces ful shots from the center of the fioor as weli as his being a terror to forwards on the offense marked hi- as a major cog in the Red and Blue machine. RATH Forwai d A steady, dependable and consistent player is found in Rath who played his first year of high school basketball during the season ju t past. His scoring average as reckoned with tiials for the basket kept increasing as the season progressed and this forward soon became one of the big guns of Davenport’s scoring depaitment. Page Eighty-seven TENENBOM Poiward “Murphy” plays an excellent passing game as well as possessing a fetish for short, lucky shots from difficult angles. He is fleet and fits well into any combination and, though excitable at times, should play a brand of basketball par excellence in the coming season. ASMAN ....................... Forward “Dutch'' was the midget of the team whose work was hard to see because it was so fast; he was able to break through an opposing set of play- ers with lightning speed. Rather than being ham- pered by his lack of size he took advantage of it and ferreted the quintet out of tight holes when occasion demanded. CAMPBELL Substitute Guard Campbell rendered good support to the team and could be depended upon whenever he was injected in a game. His passing was flawless and he should next year be a mainstay at whatever post he chooses. EGGERT Substitute Forward Eggcrt showed the earmarks of r. good player throughout the season. With more experience in the court game Eggcrt should fit well in the quin- tet of the Red and Blue in the coming season.

Mollnr TRACK athletics during the sprint; of 1924 en- joyed a prominent place in the school’s av- tivities. Not only did a larger squad than ever before in the history of the school report and stay for practice but also was the calibre of the team higher than has been the case for some years past. The (quad led by Captain Leonard Hunn and coached by Jesse EL Day won one' meet, ranked high in the Big 8 Conference Meet and in the Clinton Invitational Meet, and also made good showings at the state meets and at the Drake Relays. The indoor season began early in January and by E'ebruary 22nd a squad was ready for the state indoor meet. Hampered by the lots of Coach Day for several weeks before the team of five obtained only two points. Hunn placing third in the mile run and Oney third in the 60 yard low hurdles. Coach Day returned to the squad about a week later and practice was again resumed in the cor- ridors of the third floor. The Augustana Invi- tational Meet in Rock Island a traded fourteen schools and marked the close of the indoor sea- son for the Red and Blue. Five runners of Daven- port by piling up 27 points were able to capture the meet, nary a point being made in the field events. Hunn tied with Whitfield of Rock Island for individual hon- ors by taking firsts in the mile and half mile. He negotiated the mile in 4:41, a new record there. Alex and Wunschel in the dashes and Rath and Speers in the quarter mile made the rest of Daven- port's points. The half mile relay of those four men then cut two and two fifths seconds oflT the record. Came next the Drake Relays at Des Moines with Davenport represented there for the first time in history. Although the teams failed to place Dav- enport runners gained experience which will stand them in good stead next year. Seven runners made the trip. Hunn. Rath, Wunschel. Alex. Speers. Campbell. Herd. Allison and Kulp, the last three at their own expense. The outdoor season with its larger number of field events, in which department Davenport was especially weak, forced the Davenport track men to go the limit.

The local dash men came through in fine shape, and Alii on by winning the high hurdles and taking third in the lows aided materially. One and one-seventh point was scored by Davenport in the field events, while the runners of the team piled up almost fifty points. Ten members of the team only two of whom were seniors were selected to uphold the Red and Blue at the state meet where six points were garn- ered: Hunn second in the mile run. Allison third in the high hurdles; the mile relay team placing fourth. Many more points should be obtained next year by the Davenport team. Then came the Clinton Invitational Meet on Friday. May 23rd. closing the season for Davenport. Seven schools were en- tered but becau e of the downpour of rain only four ran. not preventing another hotly contested meet. Dubuque with a galaxy of good perform- ers took the meet, while Clinton, after nosing Davenport out in the mile relay, was second, and ------------------------- Davenport third, all with- in a range of seven points, with points being given for the first four places. Hunn, running his last races for Daven- port, took first in the mile and half mile for indi- vidual honors. Brownlie flashed into prominence by getting seconds in the fifty and hundred, while Alex and Wunschel failed to score any points. Allison. Rath and Oney. placed in the hurdle events and several other points were picked up in the track events. In the field events however Davenpoit made a brighter showing than had been expected. E'eldhahn and Hartei. third and fourth in the pole vault, Wareham getting seconds in the dis- cus and shot put, Campbell a second in the javelin and fourth in the broad jump, Herd and Roddew-ig tying for third in the high jump. Too much credit cannot be given Coach Day for his developing the 1924, of which only thrie members were seniors, thus givingjpromise of � strong group of performdis next year. Page Ninety-one TRACK COACH JESSE E. DAY Coach Day. in his first year at Davenport, de- veloped a winning track team, of a calibre superior to that of D. H. S, teams for the past several years. His scorers were for the main part the run- ners rather than those in the field events although next year a better balanced team should represent the Red and Blue than in ’24. The policy of Coach Day for training his run- ners was that of work, and plenty of it. A man who can run a good quarter mile is good at almost any event, said he. Hence each night the team finished up their practice with a good stiff quarter. It told. CAPTAIN LEONARD HUNN Mile, Half Mile Captain Hunn was one of the flashiest runneis to don a Red and Blue uniform for many a moon, in fact winning first places was his specialty. He placed third in the mile in the indoor state meet, second in the outdoor meet, first in the Big Eight Conference Meet (within a fifth of a second of the record) and took two first at the Augustana Indoor Invitational Meet. That he possessed an unusual amount of endur- ance was indicated by his performance in the Big 8 Meet. He captured a first in the mile, then ran a half mile as anchor man in the medley team which took third, and right afterward he placed third in the half mile run, finishing within a yard of the winner. Page Ninety-two CAPTAIN-ELECT RATH 440: Huidles Rath, in the middle of March, rapidly developed into the fastest quarter miler in Red and Blue togs, and shortly afteiward lowered one record in this event. It was his first year of track. He lit� well into any length relay team and next year should add the half mile to his li-t of events. ALLISON High Hurdles Alii on waited until the outdoor season before showing his true prowess in his event by capturing the Big Eight conference high hurdle event ana the following week placing third in the state meet, pressing with another man, the holder of the na- tional interscholastic record in the high hurdles. His rangy build is ideal for this event. SPEERS 440; Broad Jump Speers was always one of Davenport's two en- tries in any quarter mile race, and after which was ready for any relay event, either mile or half mile. When the outdoor season opened he showed talent at the broad jump. Speers is one of the few veterans who has run in every meet for Davenport for the past two years. HERD 220; High Jump Herd late in the season showed marked ability in running the 220 and was a mainstay of the half mile relay team, this year's champions in the Big Eight Conference Meet. He was an excellent baton passer and fans say he ran his best race in the 440 yard relay event at the Drake Relays. Page Ninety-three ALEX 50; 100 Alex flashed into glory early in the season. He is tmall and has an exceptionally fast start which next year should be the cause of many counters rolling in for I). H. S. Alex covered a hundred yards indoor on a curved track in 10 4-5 second in his first meet. WUNSCHEL 100; 220 Wunschel came out for track orimarily to de- velop speed for football and he developed so much that he stepped into the front ranks of Davenport’s sprinters. He not only runs the shorter dashes but is also a cog on Davenport's mile relay team, thus showing also ability at the quarter. CAMPBELL Mile and Half Mile Relay Campbell rapidly turned out to be one of Daven- port quarter milers thus earning i berth on the local mile relay team. He was adept at passing the baton and, not content with being on one relay team, was generally on the half mile relay quar- tet. He ran his best quarter mile at the outdoor state meet when on the mile relay team. ONEY Low Hurdles; Broad Jump Oney stepped into prominence in the indoor state meet by taking a third in the 60 yard low hurdles. Althoigh he failed to repeat in the out- door state meet in the 220 low hurdles he should next year be a scorer. That he was also a broad jumper is evidenced by his placing in the Big Eight Conference Meet. Page Ninety-four BROWNLIE 220 Brownlie in his first year of track showed good ability at the darhes and with the expe. ience earned this year should be an important cog on the 1925 squad. He could step a fast 220 race and fit well on half mile or medley relay. HARTER Pole Vault Although Harter failed to place in many of the meets in the earlier part of the season he kept right on working and cinched the title of Daven- port’s best in the pole vault. With experience and practice he should do much scoring next year. FELDHAHN Shot Put Feldhahn rapidly showed ability in the shot put in spite of his rather small size for one in this event. He piled up much experience and practice which should stand him well in events next year for Davenport’s chief entrant in the shot put in an- other who will return next year. RODDEWIG High Jump Roddcwig'9 showing at the high jump in gym- nasium classes led him to try his luck at this event with the track team. Although his only placing in the early May meets was to tie with seven others for third place in the high jump and ‘.he Big Eight Meet he next year will probably be a point earner of ability. Page Ninety-five BASKETBALL (Continued from Pane 85.) in the eastern part of the state. Davenport’s visit at Ottumwa was however, shortlived. The crew worked their way into the finals where they fell before Fairfield 21 to 10. This put Davenport out of the running for the state championship in rather decisive fashion. Checking up the game one finds that Da en| ort's squad won 15 games out of 19 played, an excellent record. FOOTBALL (Continued from Page 77.) game which was originally intended to be with Tilden Technical High School of Chicago, was played with the Hyde Park crew of that city. Hyde Park, a Class A team, was rated as one of the most powerful teams in the Windy City. 'Ihe clash was held on Bismarck Field before more than two thous- and spectators. On grounds slippery after a drizzling rain. D. H. S. battled heroically in its first game which ap- proached inter-sectional importance. Time and again the giants of Hyde Park battered into the Red and Blue forward wall for first downs. Superb playing twice enabled Davenport to hold the Heavy Chicago backs on the Red and Blue five yard Mne. Baker's punts equalled those of Horton, visitors' fullback, and occasional duels between these two varied the line smashing. Thirteen points were garnered by the visitors in the first half and another touchdown in the last quarter made the final score 20-0, favor Hyde Park. Thus closed Davenport's football season of 1923 with a showing of the old-time Davennort fighting spirit of which the old-grad speaks.

The public speaking classes under the direction of Mr. A. E. Kcibcr were more than mediocrely successful in the clashes with re- presentatives of other schools. The season opened with declamations. Three teams were chosen and the D. H. S. team which opposed Geneseo was victorious while the oppon- ents of Hock Island and Clinton were defeated. The three teams were Craven, Moorehead, Paul, Neuman, Palmer, and Ley (which team lost to Clinton) and the team which lost to Rock Island was composed of Allison, Foutz, Smith. Craven, Lebo, Dunning. Davenport’s team which conquered Geneseo was composed of Beeson. Behrens. Carroll, Brubaker, Cannon, Schmidt. Joyce Craven was chosen to represent the school in the Big 8 Declamation contest held at Kewnnce but he failed to place. Victor Schmidt represent- ing Davenport in the Iowa Nino Declamatory con- test at Fairfield also failed to place. Davenport likewise had a poor season in the girls' declamatory branch of forensics. The girls’ team was composed of Velma Beal, Blanche Krei- tcr, Eloise Neuman, Helen Hall, Dorothy Geertz, Lucille Scanned, and Inez Hearn. Helen Hall was entered in the Big 8 contest at Canton and Velina Beal in the Iowa Nine contest at Davenport. Both were unsuccessful. Debating was next on the list of forensic activ- ities. The Iowa Nine affirmative team (see preced- ing pages) defeated Washington in the prelimina- ries but failed to place at Fairfield, losing out with 3-0. The negative team of the same league lost to Muscatine, 3-0, but won in the finals from Iowa City. Debating teams from Davenport entered in the Big 8 league shared a similar fate. The affirma- tive team defeated their opponents in the preli- minaries but lost out in the finals held at Gales- burg. The negative team of this league however completed the season undefeated and Davenport was able to place 2nd in both leagues. Davenport had most of its success in extempr- aneous speaking. The two extempcrancous teams defeated both Rock Island and Clinton. The speak- ers were Ley, Allison, Beeson, Foutz, Lebo. Behrens, Smith, Carroll, Neuman, Dunning and Bassett. Foutz took first place in the Iowa Nine contest held at Grinned while Joseph Lebo placed second in the Big 8 contest at Davenport. In the State Extemperaneous contest James Carroll placed sec- ond. This year Davenport sent a man to the National Oratorical contest. George Strathman, the repre- sentative, won his district contest at West Allis, but failed to place at Chicago.

TL S, Organizations such as clubs and societies have enjoyed a successful and active year since September 1923. Mushroom clubs which flourish for a month or so and then die a quick death have been lacking while on the other hand a steady growth of interest and desire to become identified with some of the clubs in the school has been noticed in the student body. A large range of activities is covered by the organizations in the Davenport High School. The Rifle Club, which as the name suggests, is for those interested in shooting. Its members arc obtained largely from the ranks of the R. O. T. C. and some of them have attained national reputations by sue- cestfully meeting the keen competition offered by similar clubs of schools all over North America. The Science Club, one of the old standbys of the school, has perhaps the largest membership list of any club composed of boy and girl students. In- teresting experiments, lectures, and trips make membership in it pleasant and diverting. The Nor- mal Club for girls in the Normal Course is a newly formed organization and it seems to be assured of a permanent place in the school’s activities. The Pierian Society for girls is the only literary club in the school. The work of the Hi-Y and Student Clubs is very similar in that it is to “create and maintain a high standard of Christian living among the stu- dents of the school.” The Dramatic Club at times gets a prominent place in the eyes of the student body by its offering of occasional one act plays, and sometimes larger ones, in the auditorium of the school. Two clubs for those interested in athletics exist; the “D” Club and the Girls’ Athletic Club. The I)’’ Club's membership is reserved exclusively for those who have earned an athletic D” and its chief function is to create and stimulate a larger interest in athletics. The G. A. C. supports and backs the girls teams of the school and holds oc- casional “spreads in the gymnasium or out-of- doors. The FYench Club (Le Cercle Francais) is for students of French only and through its programs, etc., the members gain a greater insight In the ways and customs of the French. At its meetings only “la belle langue de la France may be spoken. Several organizations for the musically inclined students exist. The Glee Clubs and the Orchestra members receive scholastic credit for their work hence interest in them may at times be artificial but nevertheless some interesting programs are given in the auditorium by their members. The Music Club is made up of students taken largely from the ranks of the music classes and solos, du- ets and selections by its members compose its pro- grams.

It was a terribly hot day, hence the numerous umbrellas. The elaborate services” as a newspaper clippirg of that day termed them consisted of the singing of “Iowa” by all the school children of Davenport, lengthy talks by prominent speakers, chief among whom was Joe R. I.ane. Among the people on the platform is Mr. J. B. Young, while in the crowd at the base of the platform arc to be seen many children who were later worthy graduates of the D. H. S. Below is a reproduction of a picture of the Pierian Club during the early years of is existence; this picture is of the club as it was in 1910. Dur- ing those days the club was of a much more liter- ary calibre than it is now. At that time the mem- bers not only devoted themselves to brightening up on literature but also they frequently gave plays. The Pierian Club in those days and for several years afterards was what might be termed a sister society” of the Athcneaum Club which was for boys only. n Page One Hundred Thirty-two U nun «t tics MISS ROSS. COACH A SUCCESSFUL season was had by the Dra- matic Club during the past year. Several One-act plays were presented which were well received by the audiences. The initial effort of the club was the presentation of The Neigh- bors at an auditorium period. Following this came “Six Who Pass While the Lentils Boil”. This was afterwards given at Eldridge. The members of the Senior Class Play were chosen largely from the Dramatic Club’s enroll- ment.

The first social event on the calendar given by D. H. S. students was the Football Dance held at the Outing Club on December 7 and in the charge of the senior social committee. A large attendance was had of Davenport students and alumni The Basketball Dance on March 21 was the first dance given by the Juniors. It was a very success- ful afTair with striking decorations in the class colors. Several pep dances after school in the gymnasium were given and a good time was had by all.” The gym was also the scene of several minor dances, one given by the Seniors and another, a hick” dance, given by the Juniors. Both of these were pleasant and successful affairs. The social season closed with the Senior Picnic, a new affair corresponding somewhat to the Senior Excursion in 1922, at Credit Island, and the Junior Prom, which by tradition is the last social “affair”.

All coine together in all sorts of weather And loud her praise proclaim, Let every voice ring to the sky Until the echoes answering true Give prai.-e again in joyous refrain To our dear old Red and Blue. So it's hail to old Davenport. And it’s hail to our colors true. We will honor thee forever: Hail to the Red and Blue.” Let us recount our victories. And read with pride our honor roll; We must admit that they make quite a hit With every game a goal. And may our triumphs so increase With every honest hard-won score Another cup will promptly be put up In the cabinet by the door. Oh. let us work for D. H.

C. one is bound to find almost every type of manhood and in our company there were several who would believe almost any thinjr one would tell them. It was due to this fact that our famous Field Corporal was instigated. It was one evening in November while I was working in my office that one of our distinguished privates came in and said he would like to speak to me on an important question. I told him to go ahead and thus the fol- lowing story. He told me in a rather quiet tone that he was larger around the hips and that the flunkies in the Q. M. room would not supply him with breeches. He named said flunkies and I saw at once that their was something in the breeze so I coaxed him on and told him to go back to the Q. M. room and I would follow immediately. That night was an eventful one and one that I will never forget for if any three or four men ever spread a line it was that night. We made said private a field corporal, a distinction which anyone can at some future date hope to attain. It was necessary to explain the duties and rank of a field corporal to the pri- vate and we surely got him told. The responsibili- ties of a field corporal are not daily but it is on pomp and stated occasions that he jumps in the limelight and saves the day. It is the privilege of the F. C. alone to salute with the commander of the regiment and it is very seldom that a man with an eagle on his shoulders salutes. I do not think many people could tell a F. C. if they saw one. so I shall explain his drecs. He always wears a cap which, is of peculiar design and seems to droop over both ears: his blouse is double-breasted and across the front in screaming red boldness may be seen the letters F. C.; his breeches are tight-fitting and should fit snugly in his white leather puttees: his shoes are always immaculate and may be either white or black, depending on the oc- casion. Across his back appears his chevrons and became a F. C. chev- rons are so large, it is only natural that a man of great physique should be honored with this merit. He should wear a white bow tie with a stick pin to corre .pond to his rank. It is the field corporal and the field corporal alone who is permitted to use the right oblique salute and I think that] if any of our military authors had ever seen our F. C. do the right oblique salute he would immediately put it in his book, for of all the beau- tiful military ceremonies, none is so pretty and significant as a regiment of well trained soldiers executing the right oblique salute. Generals may come and generals may go, but the field corporal goes on forever. It was not until early in December that the enemy began to push us hard. Our food supply was getting low and we at last realized that the great- est battle was soon to be realized. It was one night about 9 o’clock that Major Ballinger called a meeting of the line officers and it was at this time that we realized that our chance for which we had been waiting was soon to be realized. We outlined our plans, which read as follows: First, Pilots Newman and Voglcr were to scour tbe country and learn whether the enemy was in ambush around the foot of Main street hill or on the chimneys of the Home Economics building. These brave and hazardous human birds were to be followed by the Balloon Corps, consisting of Schroeder and Uhle. They were to carry the my- sterious ciliated wamps by means of which the enemy was to be exterminated. Next to appear was the infantry under the guidance of Colonels Skifl and Corry and following the infantry the cavalry under Major Wm. Herd and lastly the heavy artil- lery under Brig. General Rashid. The council was dismissed in true military form and told to appear again at 5 A. M. to carry out instructions, Little :.leep did we get. for no one knew what the mor- row would bring. Finally 5 A. M. arrived and ac- tivities began. I was detail officer and it was up to me to get things started. First of all, Newman was still out on a date and Vogler said he would not fly until he could get some Camel cigarettes. Newman came in shortly and I was able to find Jake some American Pall Malls, so I bid them good-bye and good luck. Next on the program Uhl was busy cleaning his field corporal chevrons and Schroeder was playing pool in the gymnasium. I finally succeeded in getting them going, although it was a risky job getting the wamps into the bal- loon. Then I asked myself where were Skiff and Corry. I found Corry in front of the office seren- ading Mi -s Soehrn. strumming on a guitar and singing to the tune of “Why I am so popular no one knows. I took him back to the barracks and on the way back met Skiff, amusing several squir- rels on the cast campus. So finally at 5:45 the in- fantry was on its way and as the boys went march- ing away I wept softly for who knows -maybe in ten minutes they would be riddled with bullets and dying true patriots. The cavalry was ready and Page One Hundred Sixty The Home of the Insured INDESTRUCTO TRUNKS Indestructo Trunks and Bags are nationally recog- nized as the peer of all Lug- gage.

Brig. General Ra hid. Our plans were not succe s- ful. Vogler lost his cigarettes. Newman started to shimmie in his plane and in so doing crashed to the earth. Wm. Herd could not give commands fast enough and Rashid had to stop and talk to a couple of girl friends of his. Finally at 6:30 sharp we charged the enemy and many of our brave boys went thumping to the terrapin dead heroes. Three times a bullet lodged in the bugle and three time; the life of James Hill was saved. It was due to the courage of Donald Uhl, our distinguished Field Corporal, that we wen the day. for it was due to his courage, his strength and cheerfu'neas, that, by strategy, we defeated our hated enemie . So the Battle of Kemper Hall was won and its memory will forever penetrate the minds of those who underwent that terrible ordeal. TAPS. WHAT (JOES ON IN FACCI.TY MEETING (Editor’s note After getting premnes from about six different members of the faculty to en- lighten us on this rubject, each and every one of them pondered over the matter for about two weeks and then cooly informed us that such .� writeup would not be interesting to the students. The students would not understand it. so we were advised, but as we felt that there might possibly be a few of these said dignified professors who had attended often enough to get the hang of the subject (and as we had to fill up space) we re- sorted to foul tactics as a last resort—we :et a dictagraph back of the radiator.) Mr. Marshall--“The difficulty with this whole discussion of how to provide adequate and elevat- ing intellectual occupation for the entire time of each student is that the present day students are mentally not properly constituted. They seem to prefer the most trivial emplo ments. Look out on the campus this afternoon: a boy-girl pair every- where! Just a few moments ago, coming over here. I fell over a pair on the front steps, and Bridge (eagerly)- Did that separate them’” Mr. Marshall- “No. it only perfected their amal- gamation.” Miss LeClaire (of all people!)—“But their phii osophy is good they are striving after unity.” Voice (probably Potter’s) I say they are. All the attitudes I have noticed were classical. It is the old. old story coming back in spring.” Masculine Voice (supposedly that of Schultz)— This fuss is all tom-foolery. When I went to school I had to call on the principal every time I wanted to go out....” Miss Bissell (evidently)—Mr. Marshall. I do not feel that these activities would not be objection- able if the couples were provided with a sedate and trustworthy chaperon unless, of course the couple is engaged.” Marc. Voice (undoubtedly that of Kuttlcr) That however would put a premium on engage- ments. (Profound silence). A small clearly enunciated voice: guess who - Mr. Marshall, it seems that we are failing to arrive at the crux of the matter and I deem it expedient to mention in this connection what Spencer so forcefully said It was too much for the dictograph, it curled up and refused to work.

He tried to assume the air of a bravado as he lifted his hand to his mouth to quell a seeming nonchalant yawn. Pat. pat, pat. came the feet. The sounds ceased to ring to his ears. The figure of Disaster stood by his side. He coughed and the lump in his throat grew larger. Beads of sweat broke on his perturbed brow. He swallowed once, twice, thrice and then a calm passed over him. The figure moved on. He smiled. Again he had fooled the prof. He has swallowed his exam pony.
