V’ ’ ■ jij ‘l;‘v imiLWJmn: LiujLJiiiMJEnnr w wa gjr Ac Va ?: matt ■ Foreword And in twenty years they all came back. In twenty years or more; And everyone said, How tall they've grown! •'or they’ve been to the .akes, and the Torrid one. And they drank their health, and gave them a feast Of dumplings made of beautiful yeast; A nd everyone said, ‘ we only live It e. too, shall go to sea in a sieve. ” — .ear Though wc arc not going to sen in a sieve, our future is as uncertain ns if we were. When we do return, we hope that our welcome will be as warm and the dumplings «is good as those of the poem. The Class of 1925 offers in this little hook fin out- line of its history and a review of its activities. We trust that its pages may serve to evoke in later years happy memories of our life in D. H. S. k Prologue ••Now have come the shining days IVhen field and wood are robed anew. And o'er the world a silver haze Mingles the emerald uith the blue. The day looks new, a coin unworn. Freshly stamped in heavenly mint: The sky keeps on its look of morn: Of age and death there is no hint. ” “Blessed is he who expects little, hut works us if he expected much. Sufficient unto the day is the good thereof. I have invested myself in the present moment in the things near at hand, in the things all may have on equal terms. If one sets one’s heart on the exceptional, the far-off — on riches, on fame, on power—the chances iire he will he disappointed; he will waste his time seeking a short cut to these things. There is no short cut. For anything worth having one must pay the price, and the price is always work, patience, love, self-sacrifice—no piiper currency, no promises to pay, hut the gold of real service.” —John Burroughs “An Outlook on Life” We, the Staff of the Senior Annual of 1925, dedicate the eighth volume of this publica- tion to the memory of John Burroughs, a man who loved and understood Nature, and who revealed some of her secrets.

Yea, verily, and they prospered much. Lo, their colors were blue and gold; and their social committee was full worthy of praise. Behold, we cry out unto you that this class was wondrous wise. Its members were long standing even as Malcom Temple and William Stackhouse. This learned body was active in carrying on school functions throughout the year of nineteen hun- dred twenty-five. In as much as it has been revealed that within the near future these brilliant scholars shall for well nigh forty weeks reign supreme as the Sen- iors of the D. H. S.; and it has been proclaimed that by their works ye shall know them and they shall be prospered much—hear ye therefore, that, as the passing class of Seniors, our last wish is one for their coming success.

Football Dance, Outing Club Friday, December 12 “Pep Dance,” Gymnasium Wednesday, November 26 Basket Ball Dance, Outing Club Friday, March 27 Junior Prom Friday, June 5 Society ♦ zgHE social affairs of the Davenport High School are always eagerly anticipated, and are always largely attended. One reason for the interest is that the social functions are few and famous. Princi- pal Marshall has found that we need fewer social “outings” and more school “innings.” That ac- counts for the “few” affairs. The past year the “Football Dance” came through with a touchdown on the financial goal. The same was true of the so-called “pep” dances. The “Basket Ball Dance” on March 27 was a de- lightful success due to the splendid work of the Junior social committee. The Senior social com- mittee was equally efficient in their “blow-outs”. As a whole, the social season could not have been more successful in any high school. Page Seventy-one Page Seventy-two HE ALUMNI of the Davenport High School have carried on in their college life the keen spirit that characterized their work and activity here. In athletics, forensics, dramatics, and academic work, the wearers of the Red and Blue have brought honor to themselves and to their school. Elmer Layden, one of Notre Dame’s “Four horsemen” as full back on the great eleven of 1924 was an athlete of outstanding ability in the high school. Harold Phelps is another of whose work we are justly proud. Phelps was a United States repre- sentative in the distance runs of the Olympic games which is a high achievement. Henry Dunker at Harvard, the Claypool boys at Purdue, Hunn at Iowa, the Makeever boys at Coe, are a few of the many who are claimed by D. H. S. Otis Wiese and Alva Rorison at the University of Wisconsin, Philip Adler and Charles Sellers at Iowa City, and Eugene Carlquist at Ames, have in their college activities brought glory to the Red and Blue. Payc Seventy-four Page Seventy-five i rj CAPTAIN-ELECT BROOKHART- Fullback Fern has proved to many fans that there is more than one Brookhart in the family who can play football. Cleo, of two seasons’ past, captained the Red and Blue, and the same honor is bestowed upon Fern for the team of “25”. Fern hits the line hard and low, and with regularity. As a defensive man, he backed up the line in a faultless man- ner. It was partly through his efforts that Rock Island failed to score after having the ball on Davenport’s one foot line. In addition to his playing ability he has the leadership qualities which makes a good captain. CAPTAIN WUNSCHEL—Tackle Gus, as captain of the past season’s team, has been the outstanding player of the Red and Blue line for the past three years— shown by the fact of his winning a tackle position on the All Tri-City team for the past two years. Great strength, size, and a lot of speed helped Gus display a real brand of football throughout his High School ca- reer. Not only was he a hard man to try a play through, but with his speed he often stopped plays destined for the other side of the line. As a leader of the Red and Blue, Gus was unbeatable. COACH JESSE E. DAY Mr. Day has just completed his second year as a Daven- port High School football mentor. The Red and Blue teams turned out by him were of the successful type, and in his coaching of last year’s team he developed several men on whom he expects to rely for the team of “25”. Every practice found Coach Day on the field in a football suit, showing the men just how the game should be played. He is a man who holds the respect of every fellow on the field. That he is capable of instilling the fighting spirit into a team was shown in the games of last season. Page Seventy-six FOOTBALL IT the beginning of last season Coach Day had built a team which looked I like a real championship aggregation. The first three games with Columbus Junc- tion, Muscatine, and North Des Moines were won easily, a total of 122 points being run up to the opponents’ none. Following the North Des Moines game, a sad blow was handed out when a serious upset in the form of the eight semester ruling disquali- fied Armil, Hill, Evans, Zoller, Asman, and Rashid. Coach Day however rebuilt his crippled machine in less than Davenport 50 Davenport 53 Davenport 19 Davenport 7 Davenport 6 Davenport 0 Davenport 12 Davenport 24 Davenport 6 one week’s time in order to meet the Washington team the following Satur- day. Everybody felt downhearted at the break of the game, but when Rath cross- ed the goal in the last quarter for the only touchdown, hope began to rise for an- other winning team. Tenenbom made the extra point after touchdown to make the final score read 7-0 for Davenport. This -was the fourth game of the season for the Red and Blue, and they were still unscored on, but the next Fri- day Dubuque came here to break the record and to admin- ister the first and only defeat at the same time. Davenport went into the game as the underdog, but the final score shows differ- ently, and to anyone who witnessed the game, the balance seemed to swing in Dav- enport’s favor. The Red and Blue scored first in the opening minutes of play on a touchdown. No more scoring was done un- til the last minute of the second quai-ter when Teuting slipped through the Daven- port line and sprinted to the goal line un- hindered. Dubuque ended the scoring for the game when they made the extra and winning point of the game. The last out-of-town game of the season for Davenport came when the team jour- neyed to Iowa City. Captain Wunschel played a whirlwind game again but could not lead his men to victory as the game ended in a scoreless tie as hard luck pre- vented the virtually made scores from counting. The Armistice Day game with Rock Is- land was played on a poor field and under a high wind which at times made punting and passing impossible. Rath completed a pass back of the Rock Island goal for the first points. Tenenbom scored a touchdown a short time later on the recovery of a Rock Island fumble. The Davenport stonewall defense prevented Rock Island from scor- ing after having been on the one foot line t w i c e. Desperate .. — f The 1924 Football Schedule - Columbus Junction 0 - Muscatine - North Des Moines - Washington - Dubuque - - Iowa City - Rock Island - Ottumwa - - Clinton I Total 177 0 0 0 7 0 0 0 6 13 I i passing attempts on the part of the Is- landers in the last minutes of play to enable them to score gave Rath the chance to show his ability in intercept- ing passes. Daven- port left the field with a 12 point ad- vantage and another victory added to the list of Davenport- Rock Island tilts. The next game found Davenport the host of a large ag- gregation of strik- ingly - clad players from Ottumwa. The actual progress of the game demon- strated that size did not count and found the Red and Blue scoring immediately after the opening of the game. Davenport frequently used plays and formations sim- ilar to those of Ottumwa’s, but the latter could not check them, so the scoring climbed to 2-1-0 for Davenport. A large aggregation of loyal supporters followed the Clinton boys to Davenport to watch them put over one on Davenport. Perhaps they were a little surprised to find the Red and Blue were not so easy as they had anticipated, and even more so when Winckler scored a touchdown from a Clin- ton fumble in the early stage of the game. The extra point was not made and the score was just large enough to tie the Clin- ton score which Moore had tallied in a later part of the game. This ended the season with a total of two tie games, six victories, and one defeat. __________________________________________________________I Page Seventy-seven Pay e Seventy-eiyht THE SQUAD RATH—Halfback “Lefty” was frequently punting 60 yards and his specialty of intercepting passes was a thrill. These facts coupled with his ball toting, his interference run- ning, and his defensive play- ing confirmed his appoint- ment as an All Tri-City man. HOSIER— End In Hosier—-Coach Day had a consistent and dependable player who could be shifted to any position if necessity demanded. Fol- lowing the enactment of the Eight-Semester Ruling, Walter was shifted from the back- field to the line where an end was very much needed. BLACK—End Ray played his third and last season and was quite at home at an end—even though a heavy player, he showed speed in getting down on punts and alertness in stop- ping end runs. He was chosen as an end on the Tri- City dream team. MASTROGANY—Tackle Another “Gus,” and a good running mate of Wunschel. He is of good size, and pos- sesses much strength with which to stop plays and open holes. Since he has one more year of competition, he will help strengthen the line of next year’s team. WINCKLER—Center The true worth of Cliff’s playing did not show up un- til after the third game of the season when he was com- pelled to take the duties of center upon his own shoul- ders. An accurate passer and a good defensive man marked him as a real center fixture. Page Seventy-nine SI EMSEN—Guard It seems as if the standard size of Red and Blue guards was small as Siemsen, Cable, and Grimes were light but shifty players. An injury slowed Siemsen down, but he soon placed himself on par again. One more year of competition is ahead of him. GRIMES—Guard Totally inexperienced, but having a fond- ness for the game and the fight to put into it, probably gained Grimes his position. Com- pared to the size of his opponents he was light, but being much the scrappiest, he put many of the heavyweights out of the way. CABLE—Guard A light lineman with fight and speed with which to baf- fle opposing players. “Whitey” frequently stopped plays on the other side of the line af- ter having broken through. In the coming season he should prove a valuable man to Davenport. PICKINS—Guard An abundance of guards caused Pickins to use his weight to fullest extent in order to replace any of the others at that position. Charley played his first game of football this season and should use his experience to add to the strength of the Red and Blue next year. HAKENDORF—Guard and Tackle Ineligibility at the first of the season slightly handicap- ped Marlin’s showing. His shiftiness and his weight en- abled him to be used at eith- er of two line positions— which experience will be of real value next year. KULP—Halfback John was probably the smallest man on the team, but the lack of weight did not seriously slow him down. A good defensive half, and a fast runner earned him the utility post as he could play either half. When injected into the game he was depend- able and bore constant watch- ing by opponents lest by his speed he elude them. TENEN BOM—Quarterback “Murphy,” an All Tri-City quarterback is a good exam- ple of persistence. Handi- capped by weight, but con- stantly on the job, he earned the position of field general on the Red and Blue. In this position he made a splendid showing both offensively and defensively. He could carry the ball as well as direct plays and made many points as a result of his runs. CAMPBELL—Halfback Bob was of the flashy type and when hitting his stride was a menace to opponents. Being especially strong on the defensive end of the play, he was a sure and hard tackier who stopped many runs. Al- though light, he used his speed to full advantage in hitting the line and skirting the ends which marked him as a man for other teams to watch.

HARRY CLINE Page Eighty-two BASKET BALL Page Eighty-four THE SQUAD BASKET BALL .. DHE Red and Blue enjoyed a success- ful season of eleven victories and but five defeats. Starting the season in line shape, the Davenporters won the first four games, from Durant, Geneseo, Aledo, and Rock Island respectively. The opening attraction on the schedule was Durant. The visitors caged but one field goal during the entire game although “Newts” used a number of subs to get a line on his material. The total score rung up by the Red and Blue completely sub- merged the losers. The next game was with Geneseo, and as is usual, the contest between these two schools was close. The lo- cals led throughout the game, but were forced to the limit to hold the lead when Geneseo started a teriffic rally in the last quarter. At Aledo the next week, the Red and Blue won the third consecutive game, although handicap- ped by a small gym. It was a hard strug- gle throughout, with Davenport showing much fight to win by a 17-11 score. Rock Island came to Davenport deter- mined to advance in the Tri-City stand- ing. By piling up a comfortable lead in the first half, Dav- enport copped the tilt. This put the Red and Blue in the lead for Tri-City honors. On the following evening at Galesburg, the Red and Blue could not stand the strain of the trip and two successive games, and met the first defeat of the season. The game was listless and ended with a victory for Galesburg by a three point lead. The proverbial jinx helped the lanky Wil- ton ites administer the second defeat in as many years. The game was much faster than the score indicates. Close guarding was the feature on both sides. Preceding this game, Davenport handed DeWitt a 15-11 defeat. The double-header provided a real card for the evening. Two games were played with Muscatine and each was a victory for D. H. S. Be- tween these two, was the Clinton game in which experienced Clinton players wore down the Davenport attack and established a small lead in the final minutes of play. In the best game of the season, the Red and Blue held Oskaloosa to a 16-13 score. The victors did not lose a game on the reg- ular season's schedule and were only elim- inated in the last rounds of the State tourney. The 1925 Basket Ball Schedule ----- i i Two more return games were played. Geneseo again lost to D. H. S. on their own floor and Rock Island dropped all hopes when Daven- port walked away with a 33-11 game and cinched the Tri- City title. The Red and Blue can lay just claim to the ti- tle by virtue of Rock Island’s victory over Moline. Over confidence nearly marred a good record when Iowa City was trail- ing the Red and Blue score until the last few seconds of play. In that time the visitors sank two free throws and a field goal over half the length of the floor and gained a lead of 3 points. Davenport travel- led to Dubuque for the last interscholastic game of the season and won by a 15-12 score. The dope was upset in this game since the Dubuque team was featured as winners. In order to finish the season with a home game, “Newts” arranged an Alumni game, following which was a dance to revive the spirits of the defeated “grads.” The Red and Blue placed two men on the Tri-City team, Mosier and Black, the latter to cap- tain the team. Mosier was also honored by gaining a like position on the All-Tourn- ament team at Muscatine.

H. S. has earned a state-wide reputation. His head work and playing qualities combined with great endurance earned him the place of guard and captain of the All-Tri- City team. He proved a real leader and was the object of much favorable commendation during the past year. “NEWTS” BORNHOLDT—Coach “Newts” has been coaching Red and Blue teams for many years and during his period of coaching has turned out teams that were greatly feared. The record of the past season will go down as a successful one, thus swell- ing the list of Bornholdt coached machines. CAPTAIN ELECT MOSIER—Forward Mosier made a name for himself by breaking into the Red and Blue lineup in '24, his first year in High School. His playing during the past two seasons has shown that he is capable of shouldering the responsibilities of a cap- tain. His dependability and consistency have placed con- fidence in the Red and Blue. His playing landed him an All-Tri-City berth and a like position at the Muscatine Tournament. Page Eighty-six RATH—Guard Rath’s ability to play dif- ferent positions made him a valuable man to the Red and Blue. His speed and guard- ing ability made him a dan- gerous man to the opposing forwards. “Lefty,” a three sport man, equally good in all will be sorely missed next year. WILHELM—Forward “Butts” was a small man with a lot of endurance and a good eye for the basket. His ability to sink goals from a great range of distances bolstered up the offensive well. Lack of height did not materially check his work, but helped him prove more elusive. THOMAS—Guard Pat had “fight.” That characteristic was his chief mark and was quite evident in his playing. Since he played the back guard posi- tion his great responsibilities were in defense. His suc- cess should be attributed to his true devotion to the game. EGG ERT—Center “Speed” was a dangerous man on follow-up shots. On defense and offense he used his rangy build to good advantage. He had much endurance and was constantly on the job. either breaking up the advancing passes or working the ball to the Davenport basket. Page Eighty-seven Minor Sports ♦ JCTIVITIES in the minor sports of D. H. S. were not so pronounced this year as they have been in seasons past. Only two sports—boxing and wrestling—were I on the minor sports card for the past year. Lack of interest was probably due to the fact that no meets were carded for the wrestlers and boxers and that the major sports took up much of the time and attention of the fans. Boxing was re-introduced this year after a lapse of a few seasons. “Newts” Bornholdt coached the boxers and laid par- ticular stress upon the importance of boxing to football and other activities. Several pairs of gloves have been purchased and it is understood that some time will be spent at the first of next football season coaching the men in footwork and other principles of the science. Wrestling was the other phase of the manly art of self-de- fense and interested a goodly number of candidates. Although there were no meets scheduled, the experience from the work- outs cannot be called worthless. For the first time in the his- tory of the sport at D. II. S. a captain was chosen to lead the wrestling squad. Allen Baker of the 145 lb. class received this responsibility and proved to be a diligent and efficient worker. T. Nath, E. Chatman, Rufus Elliott, Richard Elliott, L. Geertz, J. Zimmerman, L. Honeyman and J. Gordon were the mainstays with which Dave Henschen had to work. The second annual Inter-Study Room basket ball tournament followed the regular basket ball season. Various of the study- rooms entered one or more teams and by the elimination process the title at length rested with Study Room A. Since no first team members were allowed to participate, more athletes were brought into activity in the game of basketball. Page Eighty-eight f CAPTAIN RATH Throughout the season “Lefty” was a source of many points for the Red and Blue by scoring in every meet of the season. The 4-10 was his favorite, but the high-hurdles, the high-jump and the shot put were among the other events he could ably do. He was also a member of the winning half-mile relay team which set a new record in the Big-Eight meet and won first place in two other meets. He was a capable leader, and an earnest trainer with much endurance. This was proven by his performances in the meets in which he ran hard races in quick succession. “Lefty” grad- uates this year after having led one of the most successful Red and Blue track teams in the history of the sport at D. H. S. COACH DAY A great amount of the success of the track team was due to Mr. Day who spent his second year as a coach at D. H. S. and virtually brought the sport of track into the limelight after it had suffered a slump at the local school. Besides developing a team of winning calibre which copped three meets out of five entered, he was quite instrumental in securing the new stadium and field for the Red and Blue which is now under construction. The track which is to enclose the field will be one of the best high school tracks in the Middle West. Coach Day was handi- capped by the fact that the space alloted to training this year’s team was very small, but disregarding these obstacles he turned out a well balanced, point winning aggregation. Page Ninety THE SQUAD I ayc Ninety-one THE TRACK SEASON IAVENPORT can boast of one of the best track teams ever turned out at ____I the local school. The Red and Blue started the season with but four lettermen, but under the leadership of Captain Hal- oid Rath and the coaching of Jesse E. Day, turned out to be a well balanced team of point winners. Due to the fact that the Augustana In- door meet was called off. the Red and Blue experienced only an outdoor season. The Moline High School sponsored a meet to compensate for the loss of the Augie meet and invited practic- —■- ! ally the same schools which were invited to the latter. The meet was held on April 18th and under ideal weather condi- tions the Red and Blue won first hon- ors by amassing a total of 13 points. The meet was a close race for first place by Davenport and Rock Island and un- til the relay race was run off the meet was quite undecided. Rath garnered 13 points by two firsts and a tie for first with two other men in the high jump. The 440 and high hurdles were the source of his other points. Alex came next with 9 points in the dashes followed by Brownlie who won 6. Doud, Brookhart, , and Derry each made 3 points by virtue of second places in the half-mile, low hurdles, and mile respectively. Toffenilli earned a point in the javelin, and the relay team composed of Alex, Wunschel, Rath, and Brownlie copped 5 pointers. The Red and Blue next attended the Iowa University Invitational meet and secured 12 points through Doud, who won second in the half mile. Rath who won second in the high hurdles and third in the 440, Wilhelm third in the javelin, and the half mile relay team which placed third. For the last time in history the Daven- porters competed in the Big-Eight meet and left that Association with great laurels. Many records fell in this meet, among them being the half mile relay event which rec- ord Davenport has held since 1911. The Red and Blue bettered the old record of 1:39 by 2 seconds. Alex led the scoring for Dav- enport with firsts in the 50 and 100 and third in the high hurdles. Captain Rath annexed first in the high hurdles and second in the 440, while Brownlie took first in the 220 and second in the broad jump. Sebelein, a sophomore, placed third in the mile while the remaining points came through Wilhelm with a first in the javelin throw, and the relay team. The next meet was at Clinton in which the highly touted Cedar Rapids team easily proved victorious. Davenport finished third to Clinton. Doud was the only man on the Red and Blue to win a first, this coming in the half mile. Rath placed fourth in the 440 and fourth in The Season’s Schedule j Moline High Invitational - April 18 I Iowa University Invitational May 2 j • “Big Eight” Conference Meet - Clinton Invitational - ■ Muscatine Invitational - !

Wilhelm and Brown- lie each secured a fourth in the javelin and broad jump re- spectively. The mile relay team finished third. In this meet five new records were established and one old record tied. The season ended in fine shape with the Red and Blue winning the third meet of the season by copping over 60 points in the Muscatine Invitational meet in which Iowa City High School, University High, Muscatine, Wilton, Conesville, and Durant were entered. The Red and Blue copped 6 out of a 7 possible firsts in the track events and 9 out of a possible 13 firsts in the entire meet. Rath made his best time of the season in the 440 by running it in 53 flat to cop first place. He also placed third in the shot and tied for third in the high jump. Alex came through with a win in the 220 and second in the 100. Both relay teams copped first points. Brownlie won the broad jump with a leap of 19 ft. 10 in. and second in the 220. Doud ran his usual race to first place in the half and has hit 2:06 during the season. Derry ran the mile in 4:40 2 5 to win a first place, while Sebelein, a sophomore, took third, thus giving much promise for next year. Briggs in the shot and Wilhelm in the javelin each won a second place as did Mastrogany in the discus. Toffenelli took the javelin with a heave of 153 ft,, a good throw for a high school athlete. Dannenfeldt tied for second in the pole vault while Brookhart scored the remaining points by taking third in the pav- elin and tieing for third in the high jump.

Many of the girls who came out for basket ball did not finish the season, but stopped before the work was half finished. If these girls had finished the season, all would have been quite satisfactory. There are three class teams. The sophomore captain was Jane Abell; the junior captain, Bunny Beth Scott; and the senior captain, Madeline Cawley. In a final tournament every team played every other team. The juniors won the championship. Every member of the winning team was awarded a gold D pin. The teams th:s year were pretty well balanced. There were some stars on each of the teams. Good sportsmanship was noticeable throughout all the games. They were satisfactory both from the point of spirit and playing. This season there were several weeks of hard track practice followed by a class meet. The competition was individual, but the scores went to the classes. Gold D’s were awarded the winners. There were seven track events: Running and standing high jumps, running and standing broad jumps, hop, step and jump, 35 yard dash, and the class relay. Page Ninety-eight MILITARY Page One Hundred THE BATTALION LIEUT. COL. EMORY S. WEST UTT has been said that, ‘He who would command must first learn to obey.’ Cheerful X obedience, quick thinking, leadership, respect for law and constituted authority, are some of the benefits derived from the training in the Reserve Officers' Training Corps. In addition to whatever value there may be in the purely technical training of this department, the advantages from the standpoint of citizenship training cannot lie over-estimated. It makes men—if they have the makings in them. “The very foundation of National Defense is the right kind of citizenship. If we have the right kind of citizens there need be no fear regarding the future of our country. “Preserve the roster of 337 young men enrolled in this department and twenty years from now you will find in it the names of your leading men in this and in other com- munities.” LIEUT.

T. C. Rifle Team which this year represented the R. 0. T. C. battalion is composed of fifteen men, the scores of the ten highest being counted for the total score. The team competed in three matches: The Seventh Corps Area Gallery Match, the William Randolph Hearst Trophy Match, and the United States Interscholas- tic Match. In the first match mentioned, the Davenport shooters placed second, being nosed out by seven points by St. Thomas College. Forty-eight teams competed in this match. In this match, First Lt. William Lage was not only high man on our team but also the second high point man in the whole Corps Area. In this same match last year, Daven- port placed fifth. The final returns of the Hearst Trophy Match showed that Davenport had placed thirteenth. A picked team of seven, five highest scores to count, composed of Lage, Weber, Stibolt, Decker, Ottcson, Burch, and Neil competed. The United States Interscholastic match is held to determine the best Junior R. O. T. C. team in the country. The five teams in each of the nine Corps Areas who placed highest in their respective Corps Area Match compete. Our men in this event placed seventh, higher than ever before. The fact that Davenport placed twenty-second last year shows a marked improvement under the expert coaching of Col. West. The R. O. T. C. team which shot the United States Match and the Seventh Corps Area match is as follows: Captain Stibolt and Weber; Lieutenants Lage, Cram, Otte- son, and Parmele; Privates Decker, Burch, Neil, Reeves, Lorenz, Alter, Gordon, Ser- geant, and Berger. Because of their excellent shooting in the Corps Area match the fifteen members each received a silver medal from the Corps Area Commander. Though some of the best marksmen will be graduated this June, there remains the nucleus of a strong team for 1926. With the exception of Otteson, the men left on the team are those to whom rifle shooting is somewhat a new game. They can be relied upon to better their scores in the future because of the experience gained by this year’s shooting. Page One Hundred Nine IT is a well known fact among the members of the R. O. T. C.f that the good work of the unit is due to the hearty efforts of Lieuten- ant Colonel West, and his two assistants, Sergeant Carpenter and Sergeant Larson. It is always hard for an officer, coming to a new unit, to bring about good results, but in this case the results were never in doubt. The weekly Tuesday drills have been held all through the year except during the winter months. These drills have been conducted in a slightly different manner from the preceding years. Before Colonel West came, there were five companies drilling without respect to the grouping of the men in their daily periods; but now there are six companies, each one representing an R. 0. T. C. drill period. This arrangement has allowed the men to become more familiar with their respective companies. The cadet’s first public appearance was on November eleventh, Armistice Day. Considering the short period of training the parade was conducted creditably. After the parade was over a short exhibi- tion drill was held in front of the Court House. On the next day the annual fall inspection was held. Colonel C. H. Muller, Seventh Corps Area R. O. T. C. officer was the inspector. It was an informal inspec- tion for the purpose of pointing out the errors in drill. In the same month a military banquet was held at the Chamber of Commerce. A number of the leading citizens were present both as guests and as speakers. On May eighteenth, the band drilled for the first time along with the rest of the battalion. Their playing helped the men considerably to keep in step. On the following day the two big events of the year were joined as one; that is the inspection by which our rating in the Corps Area is determined, and the competitive drill. Major C. P. Titus was the inspecting officer, and also acted as one of the judges in the competitive drill. The competitive drill was won by Company “F,” captained by Wilfred Herd. Herd and his company won the first three honors, the best drilled company, the best drilled platoon, and the best drilled captain. Two swords and a number of wrist watches were the prizes. One sword was presented by Colonel French, the other formerly owned by Captain Robert French who served in the Spanish American War, was presented by Mr. Decker French. The wrist watches were pur- chased by subscription of a number of business men. Captain Herd was presented with a sword and wrist watch. The other sword was given to the battalion to be carried by the present major and by subsequent majors on special occasions. First Sergeant Hickey received a watch for being the best man in the band.

KEIBER ff'T'HE policy adopted a few years ago, of extending forensic activities in two direc- J. tions, namely—entering a larger number of interscholastic contests, and using a larger number of student in such contests, has been still further broadened this year. We may not always win so many contests by this policy, but we do raise the average standard of work throughout the classes, which is more important than win- ning contests. When one-third or more of the entire enrollment measures up to the standard required for interscholastic contests, and when that third brings home the large number of victories, as listed elsewhere in this volume, we believe that our policy is a success from more than one standpoint.” Page One Hundred Thirteen Iowa Nine Debating Teams Affirmative EMIL EMEIS FRANK SMITH JOE ALLISON, Leader Resolved: That the United States should join the other nations of the World in a World Court.

Repre- sentatives selected from the Public Speaking classes under the direction of Mr. A. E. Keiber and the Expression Classes under the training of Miss Louise Ross have entered broader fields and have shown there the ability to carry the Red and Blue to victory. Declamation Contests initiated the season. Allison, Beenk, Ley, Grimes, Hacken- dorf and Schmidt crushed two Rock Island teams by a margin of thirty-six points. Six representatives of Geneseo capitulated to Cannon, Carroll, Sass, Bassett, Smith, and Vollertsen, giving Davenport an advantage of forty-two points. Joe Allison was selected to carry Davenport colors in the Iowa 9 lists at Iowa City, but failed to place in the three honor positions. Marlin Hackendorf representing D. II. S. in the Big 8 Contest at Geneseo also did not place. In girl’s declamations Davenport received a pleasant surprise. Six teams com- posed of Bonita Bookwalter, Katheryn Smith, Cecelia Schick, Dorothy Petersen, Louise Propst, Virginia Wingert, and Zella Clapp lost to Clinton but defeated Geneseo by twenty-four points and Rock Island by twenty-one points. Dorothy Petersen failed to place in the Big 8 Contest at Rock Island. However, Virginia Wingert lifted the Red and Blue from years of dust in the Iowa 9 contest by taking second place. Davenport High School debating teams (see preceding pages) engaged in more contests this year than ever before. The affirmative World Court team lost by a 2-1 decision to an Alumni team composed of Joseph Lebo, Russell Beeson, and Horace! Smith. Both the affirmative and negative defeated Washington teams in a dual debate. In the Iowa 9 league the district debates were forfeited, Clinton and Muscatine failing to furnish opponents. In the finals Davenport’s affirmative lost to Oskaloosa 3-0 but Davenport’s negative defeated Fairfield 3-0. Oskaloosa lost to Fairfield 2-1, thus obtaining the cup, while Davenport finished second. The negative Iowa 9 team completed the season undefeated. Both Big 8 teams won the decision in a special dual debate with Geneseo. In the first clashes of the Big 8 league, the Davenport affirmative defeated Moline 3-0 and the negative won over Rock Island 2-1. In the finals the affirmative lost to Kewanee 2-1. However, the negative won a 3-0 decision from Galesburg, thus placing Davenport first. Davenport obtained signal success this year in extemporaneous speaking. Evelyn Christiansen, Vollertsen, Littig, Bassett, Boostrom, and Cannon defeated Rock Island extemporaneous speakers by 26 points. Geneseo representatives bowed before Carroll, Sherris, Hanssen, Benthin, and Maack, losing by 43 points. Ley, Smith, Allison, Emeis, and Carroll (substituting for Schmidt) buried Iowa City under the margin of 67 points, taking the first five places. Joe Allison took fourth place in the Iowa 9 Extemporaneous Contest at Ottumwa. James Carroll, representative to the State Extemporaneous Con- test, placed third in the district. Jack Vollertsen planted Davenport’s standard in sec- ond place in the Big 8 contest at Galesburg. Edward Bassett, Davenport High School’s representative in the National Ora- torical Contest, won first in the district contest at Cedar Rapids and tied for second in R the newspaper semi-finals at Madison, Wisconsin.

The play “You And I,” which was presented by the Dramatic Club for the public as well as the student body of the school, proved well worth seeing. Also “The Florist Shop” given before the school body was ex- ceptionally good.

The Rifle Club has distinguished itself in the various shoot- ing matches it has entered. These matches have been national and international in scope. Those taking science or interested in it find much in the Science Club lectures and excursions to please them. The Girls’ Athletic Club is composed of girls particularly in- terested in athletics. The G. A. C. sponsors the various girls’ teams in the school. The girls taking the Normal Course have formed a Normal Club. Many of us have not known much about this organiza- tion, but we find upon investigation that it is doing real things. At the club meetings, various speakers have talked on subjects along cultural lines, and along lines of particular interest to the girls taking the Normal Course. The programs and the conversation at the French Club meet- ings are entirely in French. The musical organizations of the High School have done splendid work this year. The Glee Clubs, the Chorus, and a special orchestra put on “All at Sea,” the first operetta the school has ever given. The Music Club is for the study of music and the promotion of interest along that line. The members of the Hi-Y and the Student Club have somewhat the same aim and purpose, namely, to live school.

Bissell Page One Hundred Fifty-six Page One Hundred Fifty-eight BLACKHAWK ANNUAL SALES PEOPLE Family jewels were an edition of brass knuckles. When his parents needs fire wood he toddles forth and pulls up an oak tree, roots and all. Then he bites off chunks for the stove. He was once fined by the town committee of safety for allowing his canary bird to rattle through the streets unmuzzled. He prob- ably will die at an early age from hardening of the knuckles. At the age of eight Ralph was sent away to a den of wolves to get educated in the finer things of life. He had all the ad- vantages of early life that counterfeit money could buy. It is due to the element of “City Island” that he became so hard. Down there the citizens thought, out in this suburb of culture and fine art, that a cyclone was used only to cool hot soup. If they wanted to cook anything they would wait for a prairie fire. When a bride got married they would give her a police whistle for a wedding present. The mayor was defeated for a second term because he got a broken nose in Rockingham and the board of trade impeached him for violating home indus- tries. Volunteer Fire Department No. 6 was laid ofT a month without pay for using water instead of gasoline on the orphan asylum fire. Jesse James’ birthday was a legal holiday. The babies were so tough they had to put bars on their cradles and handcuff ’em in order to teach them the alphabet. Ralph says he is quitting those side door pullman trips be- cause they are becoming too effeminate. Well then, we will have to admit that if you ain’t tough then the world war for democ- racy was fought in vain. Page One Hundred Sixty The Convicts Line O’Type Vol. XIV Issued Yearly June 19, 1925 MR. MARSHALL COMMITS SUICIDE Taken From the Police Reports for March The popular school executive had hecn despondent for many days over the thought of the 267 leaches he was supposed to graduate from the Davenport High Institute for the feeble minded. Many of these 267 had the common disease of brain vacuum and were unable to get through Kuttler's Math. Classes. Early Monday morning when Officer Snider, a personal acquaint- ance of many of the school fellows, was toddling up Main Street on his two-wheeled gas buggy, he saw a ladder leading from the ground to Mr. Marshall's Iasi room window. Upon further investigation it was found that a large portion of the rat poison had disappeared from the shelf, and it was this no doubt which, administered in some lone- ly spot far from the care of the school for the empty headed, that produced the desired results. The school authority’s remains have not been located yet. However all this was only circum- stantial evidence and other clues were sought. Detective Bissell was at once set upon the case and has laen spar- ing no effort to ferret out the facts about this bloodcurdling incident which concerns everyone so greatly. Many theories have been advanced ind the detectivoss has run down ev- ery clue which it has been possible to initiate. First of all. every one thought he hail been kidnapped. But by who? Perhaps by Kneupple and Harkness. Inc., to whom he failed to issue slips on Monday morning. But after a desperate grilling nothing was ex- tracted from the enraged Mary or the sullen Ray. Very soon after the news of the disaster had reached High School. Miss Bissell was seen interviewing several of the girls in Study Room A. This however, was not out of the ordinary and was considered alarming by no one. She could re- ceive no suitable clues to follow as to whether any of the would be Zicgfcld girls had lured Mr. Mar- shall from his hitherto happy and peaceful home, so the work contin- ues in vain. Information was received that Mr. Marshall was found to have re- turned home and he must have l een at the National Convention at Cin- cinnati for he is wearing a red. black and white striped shirt as a souvenir of that city. You cannot tell to what extremes even educa- tors will go when they go away, even though they teach temperance to their pupih. Compulsory Home Study P. D. Q.

FADS What are fads? Fads are some- thing which people take up because they are something different. For instance, one girl had part of her I ear torn off: she wanted to hide it. so she wound up a ball of hair and stuck it over her ear. The next day there were thousands of girls with hair puffs over their ears. Pretty soon almost all girls in the United States were wearing puffs over their can—something different. In about the same way pompa- dours became fashionable: one boy couldn't get his hair to part, so he greased it and combed it back over his head. Very soon all the boys in the country had greasy hair and a pompadour. Next thing to come along was short skirts; one girl didn't have enough goods to make a long skirt, so she left the bottom off. It wasn't long until one could hardly turn Two Seniors of 1878 Class are Married An important wedding was sol- emnized in matrimonial bliss last night at the Methopi.vcopal church by Reverand Begood. Miss True Blue and Mr. O. C. Foam were the participants. The bride was robed in a satin fillegree dress, trimmed in black georgette. The bride’s train was held up” by two flower girls. The grooms trousers were upheld by two safety pins. Misi Blue was very beautiful and her features were impossible to des- cribe. Her teeth shone like pearls. Both of them. Some of the out-of-town guests were Mr. and Mrs. Wolf, of Prop- stci, la., and Mr. Fish from Brook- ville. Miss. Refreshments served were tomato soup and spaghetti. After the sup- per. it was noticed that Mr. Fish had a very beautiful tie. It was red with white stripes. Mrs. Dubnut will give a rain- shower for the couple to-morrow night. I around witheut seeing a short skirt. Then came bobbed hair, not bad. but it's a fad : one girl's hair started coming out. so she had it bobbed. Now almost all girls wear it that way. There are many other fads, and more are coming all the time, be- cause most fads have a short life: one fad is at its highc-t for about a I month, and then it gets old and a new fad comes to take its place. So after all a fad is nothing but a time taker in every day life. Weather Report For Dav., R. I., and Moline: An extremely cold wave will come to- morrow with a sudden rise in temp- erature. It will probably rain two or three days before tomorrow morning when the cold wave reaches here, so due to the dryne.w of the earth, the cpld will be more noticeable.

After you have stayed out all night and she asks you the next day where you were, tell her it is none of her business—and see whether it is or not. 3. If you do not believe in gamb- ling tell her you will not allow her to go to the bridge club. Write and tell us how long you had to sit in the fliver in the driveway by the club waiting for her. 4. Tell her you positively will not go to a drama with her and that she must go to a girl show or stay at home. Call us up the next day and tell us how you enjoyed the drama. 5. Announce that you are tired and want to rest up and positively will not go to church. We will glad- ly print your criticism of the pas- tor’s sermon. 6. Be your own boss.

LESSONS IN ETIQUETTE 1. Do not place wads of chewing gum on the under side of the tables, ns they are weak and will not stand the strain. If you have not a handkerchief in which to roll it. use a napkin. 2. When you unfold the napkins, do not wave them in the air as this disturbs the flies on the ceiling. 3. Never wave the knife around in the air—have some regard for your neighbors. A knife is only supposed to eat pease with, anyway. 4. Never talk with a mouth full of food, as you then miss the full flavor. As Recommended by the School Bo«rd Teachers: please don’t read this. Here is the system: After having installed apparatus as shown in the drawing (this can be done the night before the exam.) come to class with a nice pocket full of live mice. Carefully deposit a mouse on the floor in the direction of the cheese—The animal with a voracious hunger will race towards the cheese, and will accidently step on spring and will be shot up into the air. The platform upon which said mouse is reclining will hit the lever to which the spring is at- tached. Lever will turn on fan and pages of the text book will turn. SOME CINCH.

If you cannot find room enough on the table for your elbow and your knife at once, balance the knife on the shoulder of your neigh- bor. 6. Never drum on the table with your fingers or the silverware as you can make more noise with less effort by scraping your chair back and forth. 7. You are not supposed to eat the lemon in the finger bowls and you cannot expect towels and soap furnished with them without extra charge. 8.

OVER Fifty years of service is a record to be proud of, as few stores live to pass the half century mark. Years bring distinction to a man or an institution. To have reached a mature age and to hold the respect of three generations, is a privilege. The gaining of this privilege carries with it an obliga- tion to do well whatever we undertake. This obligation is ever before us—in all our plans of buying and merchandising—to give a little better ser- vice, a little better quality of goods, at a little lower price, than you would expect.

They’re trying to collect Black- hawk subscriptions and competition is pret- ty keen. Wear your loudest clothes and pull your hair down over your nose the first few days, then go back to normal. It’s the surest way to fame to make it possible for people to exclaim, “You can already see the effects of a high school education on her.” Remember your first invitation to a fra- ternity informal means nothing more than some man with an eye for business is lead- ing you to the block to be knocked off to the highest bidder. Don’t enter High School brimful with “simply corking ideas.” The faculty is hired to quell just such disturbances. At least be a good sport and announce upon entering that you can’t decide wheth- er to take mathematics to fit you to be a doctor or an engineer. After your first year a clerkship will look pretty good to you. Make it a point to walk around the first floor halls, for the faculty heartily endorse the present traffic conditions found there. And then, no telling when your going to meet “her”. For if she’s like all the others, that’s the only place you can be sure of find- ing her.
