But some time, in the not too dis- tant future, the Kings and Queens will ally their forces. Then, will pawns, knights, bishops and mighty rooks sweep the board—but always under the guardian eye of King and Queen. At that time will we turn a lin- gering glance back to these days— and it is our hope, then, that we, the staff of the Blackhawk Year Book, 192G, shall not have toiled in vain—and that this little volume may mirror, as it were, the happy times enjoyed during our leisurely sojourn in Davenport High School.

The election of president resulted in a very close contest, Cable defeating Waterman by a margin of only a few votes. The class officers are: Wyatt Cable, President; William Waterman, Vice-president; Virginia Wingert, Secretary; and Marjoridel Hubers and Keith Mason, Treasurers. The Juniors have been prominent in the activ- ities of the school and their individual fetes have been noteworthy. The Basketball dance and the Junior Prom were well up to the standard and showed the work of a very active class. May they rise still higher and gain a position as Seniors, as high as that held by the Class of ’26.

Each dance was most attractive as to the decorations, attendance, and conduct of those attending. The football dance was a huge success for the Senior class. The basketball dance was indeed a credit to the Juniors as was their Prom, the last dance of the school season. For the first time in history the Seniors sponsored a Hop.

WINNING TEAMS DAY ROSING t BRIDGE BORNHOLT TRUMBO Page Sixty-six FOOTBALL A-]T the outset of the last football season, Coach Day’s initial call for candidates was an- I swered by a squad of nearly four-score. This was undoubtedly the largest squad that has ever turned out for football at D. H. S. Out of this group Coach Day had six stellar performers from last year’s squad: Captain Brookhart, Cable, Mosicr, Mastrogany, Wilhelm and Hakendorf. The first five named landed on the Tri-City dream team. Coaches Day and Trumbo drilled their squad for over three weeks in preparation for the opening clash of the season which was with Columbus Junc- tion at the Junction City. On September 26th, the local aggregation travel- ed down state where it met the Junction outfit on a muddy field. The game was a listless one but in the final period with only fifteen seconds to spare, Hakendorf nabbed an oppo- nent pass and scampered 10 m yards for a lone touchdown. I The win was a fine start for the season but it must, to some degree, be credited to Dame Fortune. The following week saw the opening of the new D. II. S. stadium, now proper- ly called the Public Schools Athletic Field, which was the battle ground for the Galesburg clash. The Illi- nois team came here with a strong outfit but were van- quished with a 12 to 0 score. The encounter was a wet one throughout, and owing to the soggy condition of the newly sodded gridiron, play of the best sort was lacking, and, too, it was only the second game of the season. Whether the day was wet, dry, hot, or cold, the game The 1925 Football Schedule Davenport 6 - Columbus Junction 0 Davenport 12 - Galesburg 0 Davenport 0 - Washington 0 Davenport 0 - Dubuque - - 3 Davenport 0 - North Des Moines 6 Davenport 7 - Iowa City 0 Davenport 33 - Rock Island - 0 Davenport 30 - Muscatine 0 Davenport 25 - Clinton - - 6 Total 113 15 i K — dry, hot, or cold, the game i j was a memorable one, as it y_________ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ marked the dedication of a long-looked-forward-to stad- ium, and the victory will always stand out as a headliner in Red and Blue sport annals. Washington furnished Davenport with opposition on October 10th, the former entertaining Captain McConnel and his men put up a stiff fight, and when the final shot of the timekeeper’s gun was heard, neither team had scored. This game was immediately forgotten and work began for the Dubuque tussle which came next on the local schedule. On October 17th, Coach Day and his men enjoyed an open date and were guests of the University of Iowa at the Hawkeye Homecoming. Davenport went up river to take on Dubuque and playing on a muddy field was defeated by the small margin of 3 to 0. Even though defeated the Davenporters played well and had they not held in the pinches the score might have been larger. North Des Moines came to Davenport on the 31st of October and took a hard fought game, 6 to 0. The day was ideal for football but the field was not. Frequent fumbles occurred and the attacks could not get under way on account of the slippery ground. The touchdown came in the third quarter when “Davy” Jones, the North Captain carried the ball over from the 30 yard line. This was the last downfall that the locals suffered. Playing in a field of snow, Coach Day’s men came, saw, and conquered at Iowa City on No- vember 7th, when they downed the “Little Hawks,” 7 to 0. In this clash Hartman broke into the scor- ing column and he also came to the front as a real ball-toter. From this time on until the end of the season, the D. H. S. warriors were not to be denied. On Armistice Day at Douglas Park, Davenport and Rock Island battled. ___________________The Red and Blue enter- ed the fray doped to lose. When the final whistle had sounded and the smoke of battle cleared away Captain Brookhart and his men had amassed a total of 33 to the Islanders 0. By virtue of this win over Rock Island and the Islanders win over Moline, Davenport may rightfully claim the title of Tri-City Champions. The next game with Mus- catine at the local field and Davenport continued on its rampage by downing the “Muskies,” 30-0. In this counter the Red and Blue opened up with an air at- tack that completely baffled the Pearl City boys. Bringing the season to a close on Thanksgiving the D. II. S. gridders walked off with a 25-6 victory over Clinton. Wallace, Red and Black Captain was the sec- ond grid leader to cross the Davenport goal line. This game ended the season with a total of one tie game, six victories and two defeats. The coming season will find tough opposition to be faced by D. H. S. However it is expected that Cable and his men will be able to come through with the goods. Besides Cable on the line there will be good pros- pects in Cantwell and Hutchinson who are men of two years experience in the game. While the flash of the backfield of two years ago when Armil was in the lineup, will be lacking, nevertheless a good steady set of backs will in all probability be ready to do the running. Captain Brookhart, who played such a great game at back last year may be back to bolster up the backfield. I I - I Payc Sixty-seven CAPTAIN BROOKHART Fullback Buck, as Captain of last season’s team, has been the outstanding Red and Blue player for the last two years. He has great ball toting ability and is a tower of strength on the defense. Time after time it was “Buck” who was called on to put the ball over and he seldom failed. As Captain, Buck showed wonderful leadership qualities and always had a word of encouragement for his players. CAPTAIN-ELECT CABLE Forward The choice for next year’s football leader is popular with faculty, players and everyone else concerned. “Whitey” plays a consistent game although it is not a flashy one. He often breaks up plays before the opposing interference has formed and he is the main cog for the defense. Under his leadership D. H. S. is promised a very successful season. So “Lets see you go, Whitey!” Page Sixty-eight MERTON End Merton at end on the Red and Blue machine of 1025 was one of the most valuable members of the squad. His hard fighting and consistent performances helped greatly to keep the D. H. S. machine in fighting trim. HARTMAN..................Halfback “Dick,” playing his first season of High School football displayed the ability of a vet- eran. He is a consistent line plunger and a fine open field runner and he knows how to fol- low his interference. MOBURG.................Guard Moburg played a consistent game throughout the whole season. His defensive work, was especially brilliant in its spectacular blocking of line plunges. ___ RODDEWIG End “Dutch” was a consistent drop-kicker. He played a strong defensive game and the oppos- ing backs were often thwarted in their at- tempts to gain around his end. He was also on the receiving end of many of the Red and Blue forward passes. Page Sixty-nine MASTROGANY Tackle MGus”had a good football stature and he used it to a good advantage. He possesed a lot of strength with which to stop plays and open holes. He is a dependable player who keeps a cool head in case of a crisis. ALEX....................Halfback “Art” was the smallest man on last season’s outfit. He was a wonder at finding the holes and he was a clever field runner. He had the ability of a quick change in stride which made it hard for the opposition to dope. “Art” will be greatly missed next year. WAGNER.................Halfback “Gene” was handicapped early in the season due to illness but nevertheless he soon rounded out into great form and proved himself a great value to the team both on the offense and on the defense. When “Gene” hit the line it us- ually resulted in a gain for the Red and Blue. SHAIN.......................Center Shain at the pivot position on the 1925 squad was practically a fixture. His great defensive work was responsible for many a hostile play failing. His loss will be keenly felt next year. HACKENDORF Tackle “Molly’s” weight and shiftiness helped much to strengthen the Red and Blue forward wall. He was named as one of the best guards in the state and it is certain that the opposition did not relish meeting up against him. Puge Seventy BASKETBALL ]HE basketball season of 1925-’26 proved to be a fairly successful one for the D. H. S. cnge- ____I men. From a large squad Coach Bornholdt whipped fnto shape a team that won thirteen out of twenty games. The opening game of the season was on the local floor, the J. B. Young Intermediate gymnasium. The Red and Blue showed good form when they beat Wilton in good style. They also took Geneseo on for a trimming the same night. The next week, however, spelled defeat for the D. H. S. basketeers. They journeyed up the river and met the classy Savanna five. The cagers next journeyed to Aledo and experi- enced little trouble in downing the Aledoites. Rock Island put the first real thorn in Davenport by staging a last minute rally and beating the Red and Blue. Davenport had maintained the lead dur- ing almost the entire play. The feature of the game was the aggressiveness shown by both teams. The team was shown little or no opposition the follow- ing Friday when they cleaned house on Iowa City to the tune of 26-5. The spirit of victory ended abruptly when Oskaloosa nosed out D. H. S. 13-16. Muscatine followed suit and beat the locals on our own court 21-22. The game was fast throughout but Davenport lacked the final punch to put the game on ice. Rock Island was the Red and Blue’s next op- ponent. The Islanders were doped 'to win this fray by virtue of their previous win over the Red J and Blue. The battle — was fast and furious, both sides fouling frequently. During the last two min- utes of the game the score was tied and just as the final gun sounded, Math, D. H. S. center, was fouled and he dropped in tho winning counter. Captain Mosier next led his basketeers to Gales- burg but found them, too tough a nut to crack as the game ended 28-16 in favor of Galesburg. Clinton came down here with a fine team and dupli- cating their last year’s trick emerged the victors by a score of 13-22. At this point in the season the D. H. S. cagers showed a decided improvement by winning the next eight games and dropping the final one to the team which afterwards proved to be state cham- pion. Geneseo was the first victim by a score of 36-19. The Red and Blue then turned the tables on the Button City lads and beat them 25-15.

The “Dubs” were doped to win this game but the locals secured an early lead and maintained it throughout the game. The crew was now hitting a fast pace, so fast indeed that the Alumni composed of ex-D. H. S. stars, such as Rath, Johns, Wilhelm, Eggert and Thomas were beaten 35-19. Coach Bornholdt en- tertained the crowd after the game by staging a dance on the J. B. Young floor. A good time was had by all. Then came the Muscatine Sectional Tournament. Davenport went through the first three games in fine shape defeating Wilton, Iowa City and Musca- tine, respectively. The last game of this series proved the most interest- ,� •« ing of the series. The i game was fast and much clever floor work was dis- played. Muscatine led un- til the final twenty sec- onds of the play when Davenport dropped a bas- ket and cinched the tour- nament title. A week later came the district tourney at Center- ville with keener competi- | tion, following the weeding out many of the mediocre ) teams in eastern Iowa. Davenport succeeded in d owning Oskaloosa but Newton (State Cham- pions) proved a bit too clever and fast for the lo- cal boys. The game how- ever was well contested as the score indicates, 26-18. This put D. H. S. out of running but the boys felt some consolation in being i put out by the state champs. M 'v After the close of the 1925-26 season, Coach Bornholdt for the last fourteen years basketball Coach at D. H. S., handed in his resignation to the High School Athletic Board. Mr. Bornholdt has been with the school a long time and we feel some consolation in that he will still remain with us as Athletic Manager. “Newts” is a bit bashful about telling about the days when he used to play football and basketball for the Red and Blue. He was a terror to his op- ponents on the gridiron and he played a wonderful game of basketball. We hate to lose “Newts” but we feel sure that he knows which is best for both he and the school. Davenport is again bent on defeating Rock Is- land, her traditional rivals. While the cross the river lads have no definite promise of a good team, nevertheless, a battle royal is looked for when the two teams meet. Page Seventy-one THE CAPTAIN MOSIER..........................Forward “Walt,” by playing his third and last year at D. II. S. has made himself well known throughout the state. He played a fine floor game and he used good judgment in lead- ing his mates on the offense. He proved a good leader with his teammates. Page Seventy-two TOFANELLI Forward “Tuffy” was a steady, dependable and con- sistent player who played his first season of high school basketball during the past season. It was his excellent knowledge of floorwork that enabled him time after time to slip by his opponents and chalk up another marker for the Red and Blue. ST ROHM Forward “Jerry” played a fast floor game for the Red and Blue. He was a sure shot with the free throws. His lack of heighth did not ma- terially check his work but helped him prove more elusive. MATH....................Center At the finish of the season Math was rated as one of the highest scorers in the Tri-Cities. He proved himself one of the main cogs in the Red and Blue offense. He handled the ball well and was a good man to pass to. He was also consistent and steady. MAHER....................Guard “Pete” playing his first season as a regular showed that he is capable of handling himself even in the most expert company. He is a small man but he had a lot of endurance which enabled him to be in the game every minute of the time. MOBURG...................Guard George was a strong man on both offense and defense. He had a good eye for the basket and was a hard man to stop when he was drib- bling. He covered the floor well on the de- fense and there were few men who succeeded in out-witting him. MASTROGANY Guard “Gus” was a large man and he used his mas- siveness to the best advantage. He was excep- tionally strong on the defense. “Gus” was a three sport man and his loss will be keenly felt next year. Page Scvcnty-tlirce Minor Sports gb WIMMING, tennis and golf received the lion’s share of the minor sports this last year at I). H. S. These two events are rather new at high school and much enthusiasm has been shown in these lines The D. H. S. was donated the use of the Y. M. C. A. pool and Mr. A. M. Roach, physical director of the “Y” was secured to coach the I). H. S. water aspirants. The squad consisting of Liddle, Gordon, Corry, Pederson, Whalen, White, Crest, Naylor, Newell, and Murray worked hard and a very successful team was promised, only to learn that there was no competi- tion near enough home for the Red and Blue to compete with. The only meet entered in was the one with the strong Moline Y. M. C. A. team. Davenport emerged from this meet after submerging Moline to a count of 44-18. Boyd Liddle, star swimmer of the Red and Blue entered in the Mid- Western A. A. U. Aquatic Meet held at Iowa City, November 19, 1925. He entered in the 220 yard free style, 150 yard back stroke, 220 yard breast stroke and fancy diving. He had to compete with some of the best swimmers in this section of the country. He took fifth in the fancy diving and qualified for the finals in the 150 yard back stroke. Much may be expected from this man next year as he is one of the most noted swimmers in Davenport. In tennis, the D. H. S. players showed quite a lot of ability. In the match held down at the Credit Island courts twenty-five players entered. Howard Eckerman and Rex Denkmann reached the finals. In the final frame, Rex won the championship only after seven sets of hard tennis. From this group of players, Denkmann, Eckerman, Shumate and Carroll were selected to form the D. H. S. tennis team. Much enthusiasm has been shown in this line of sport and in a few years it is hoped that tennis will take its place along the major sports, football, basketball and track at the Davenport High School. In golf there was a tourney held on the Credit Island Links to deter- mine who should represent the school in this department. The following men who compose the D. H. S. Golf Team all turn scores under the “80” mark. They are as follows: John Dow, Peter Otteson, Clarence Paus- tian, Roy Mohler and Morris Marlin. Although none of these men are champions, they all turn in good scores and in the future ought to drag down a few trophies. of sport. Page Seventy-four THE TRACK SEASON I The Season’s Schedule I ______ I )RACK athletics, the final one-third of the I Davenport High major sports section, were I not quite on a par with the other two sports, football and basketball, for the 1926 season. Last year, Davenport boasted of one of the best cinder- path outfits turned out in many seasons, but this year, with only one letterman, Tofanelli, on the squad, Coach Day’s men did not rank so high. In spite of this, the Red and Blue artists finished well considering that the great majority of the team was inexperienced. However, there are sev- eral things that stand in prominence for 1926. The first item, one that abounds with importance and which was brought about only by continual search- ing and interest-creating labor on the part of Coach Jess E. Day, is the mammouth squad of candidates which reported regularly at the new stadium for the daily grinds. At the initial call, nearly ninety men put in their appearance, but of course, as the season waned the rank and file decreased somewhat. Throughout the season, though, the local mentor handled between fif- ty and sixty aspirants for honors. Coming to the second leading factor in the track year for 1926, one discovers that this season’s team covets the paramount honor of inaugurating the new quarter-mile oval surround- ing the football field. The track, in its first year, equaled some of the tracks in the state and in a few more years with careful nursing, the path will oc- cupy a front seat for high school tracks in this section of the country. Third and lastly is the fact that the greater portion of the squad will re- turn for competition in 1927 and also, that nearly every member will be available material for the 1926 football team. At the beginning of the sea- son, Coach Day stressed the interdependence of the track sport to the popular gridiron game. Like last year, Davenport experienced only an outdoor season. But 1926 was the first year in many moons that a Red and Blue team did not compete for honors across the river. The Augus- tana Indoor meet was not held this year and the Big Eight in 1925 saw the withdrawal of Daven- port teams from that sphere of competative sports. The first affair for the local team was the Clin- ton dual meet on Saturday afternoon, May 1, at the new stadium. An extraordinary feat was ac- complished that day, both teams amassing 68 points. It was a nip and tuck program all the way, the lead see-sawing until the concluding event. Clinton dual meet Rock Island dual meet State Interscholastic meet - Muscatine dual meet Clinton Invitational meet - Iowa University Invitational Meet - • Points scored: Clinton dual, 68; Rock ■ Island dual, 50; State District meet, : 46 2; Muscatine dual, 99; Clinton In- . vitational meet, 8; no points at the Iowa I University meet. Total: 271 ' points. Davenport had Clinton’s “goat,” however, after the mile relay was run off, Davenport copping, as the locals held a five-point advantage over Coach Belding’s men and the chances in the remaining relay, the half-mile, did not seem so base for the Hill topers; but relays will be relays and Daven- port lost by ten yards to make a victory impossible and a defeat possible. On May 1 at the Red and Blue field, Davenport entertained the Rock Island hordes in another dual encounter, which the visitors took by an 87 to 50 score. Coach Kimmel’s men scored firsts in all but five events, and winning seconds and thirds right and left, their mark was never in danger, the local star taking first in the low hurdles. Mas- trogany grabbed two firsts in the shot put and dis- cus for high point honors for Davenport, Tofanelli place first in the javelin, and Merton in the high ™ .. jump. i Then on May 8, one of the ten first State District Track and Field meets was held at Davenport. Eight High Schools from this dis- trict competed for honors that day at the Brady street field and Davenport led the pack at the completion of the meet with a total of 46% points. Iowa City was Davenport’s nearest compet- ator with 27 points. Uni- versity High of Iowa City, Clinton, Muscatine, Wilton Junction, Durant, and Co- lumbus Junction finished in the order named. Coach Day had a team of 15 men entered in the big doings, whose united efforts were well-balanced enough to in- _ _ _ _ ________________ sure a victory. Sev- —' 'v eral marks were made on this day: Ralph Cozine of University High running away from the field in the mile run to cop in the time of 4:44.2; Burger of Iowa City High heaved the shot for a distance of 44 ft. 2% inches, which mark is likely to stand for sometime. Robert Brown, also of University High, stepped the century sprint in the fast time of 10.7. The State Meet was held at Des Moines on the following Saturday but Davenport was not repre- sented there, as Coach Day thought it more ad- visable to save the men for the Iowa University Invitational meet at Iowa City. Saturday, May 22, Davenport went to Clinton for the invitational meet there and a team of two was sent to Mucatine for that city’s invitational meet. At Clinton, the calibre of competition was just a little bit too strong for the Davenport team, the Red and Blue placing eighth with as many points.

T. C. Activities m THE Reserve Officers Training Corps of the Davenport High School has been in existence since the year 1919. During this brief period of years it has become quite a factor in our school life. The past year’s work in this department has been very successful. Af- ter some difficulty uniforms were furnished to everyone and on Armistice Day, the unit made its first public appearance. There were almost three hundred and fifty high school students in uniform marching in the parade and they were led by a band consisting of thirty-two pieces. During the past year a new system has been put into effect by Colonel West. This system might be called a marking or a point system. It pro- vides a certain number of points for each required military principle and at the end of the semester the grade depends upon the number of points. Whenever the weather was unfavorable during the past year, regular classroom work was taken up. This work was conducted by Sergeant Car- penter. Recitations were made, just as in any other class and a record of the individual work of each man was kept. The rifle practice was taken up by Sergeant Larson. In this work an effort is made to pick the men best suited and best qualified for firing on the R. O. T. C. rifle team. This Rifle Team participated in two important matches this year. The first of these was the 7th Corps Area Match in which sixteen different schools competed, representing the states of Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, Arkansas, North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska and Kansas. Davenport placed first in this match. William Burch was not only high point man on our team but was also the highest scorer in the Seventh Corps Area. The team also entered the National R. O. T. C. Match, and won eighth place. Peter Ottesen was high point man on our team. On Monday, May 3, the Davenport Unit was inspected by Colonel A. B. Dockery, of Omaha, Nebraska. He has charge of R. O. T. C. affairs in the Seventh Corps Area. The inspection was not a very strict ono and was given to each individual company in the regular drill periods. Colonel West and his assistants, Sergeant Carpenter and Sergeant Larson have made a special effort to persuade more boys to go to Military Training Corps during the summer. The result has been very encouraging, in that a great number of the fellows have made application. On Wednesday, May 26, the competitive drill was held at Vander Veer Park. The judges were: Col. Harry Ward, Col. C. R. Terry, Decker French and Lieutenant L. M. Eckland. All of the men were thoroughly capable to decide on the winning company. However they had some diffi- culty because the companies were fairly evenly matched but their final decision awarded first honors to Company F. This company exhibited an excellent drill and well deserved its reward. It was led by Cadet Captain Peter Ottesen. On Monday, May 31, the Davenport R. O. T. C. of 1926 appeared for the last time as a unit. The occasion was the Decoration Day parade and the boys put over an excellent drill. The band led the marching and played some good, snappy music.

KEIBER 44 ATA HE year’s record and the general interest of the students again justifies the | policy adopted some years ago, of using as many members of the classes in interscholastic contests as the number of contests and the standard attained by individual students permits. Nearly one-half of those enrolled in the course have had the opportunity to represent their school in some interscholastic contest. “A new incentive to achieve excellence and an additional means of attaining that result is now available in the newly adopted annual oratorical contest of the Iowa Nine Association. This gives a well-rounded list of events to make a well balanced course. “The generous support of the student body and faculty, the co-operation, enthusi- asm and hard work of the public speaking students has added another successful link to the chain of excellent years in D. H. S. forensic history.” A. E. Keiber.

Page Ninety-three Public Speaking Activities THE Public Speaking Department of the Davenport High School has completed a most successful season this spring. During the past year our speakers have participated in declamatory, debating, extemporaneous speaking and oratorical contests with many other schools. In the Iowa Nine Association Davenport re- ceived a plaque for first place, according to points earned in three various ways; Iowa City and Fairfield tied for second and third places. In the other activities of the sea- son, we have received high rank. In accordance with the custom, the individuals who have shown themselves sufficiently valuable in participating in these contests, have been awarded letters. One of the most outstanding stars of the year is Miss Virginia Wingert who was awarded a gold “D” as school representative in the Iowa Nine Girls’ Declamatory Contest, at Clinton, in which she took first place. Her victory there added five points to Davenport’s standing in that association. The other members of the Public Speaking Department who met the qualifications were given the standard letters. Their services were of various natures. Marlin Hakendorf was a member of the Boys Declamatory Teams and the school’s represen- tative in the Boys’ Iowa Nine Declamatory Contest at Burlington. Murray Ley was a member of the Declamatory and Extemporaneous Speaking Teams and the school’s representative in the Iowa Nine Extempore Speaking Contest at Clinton. Horace Miller was a member of the Extempore Speaking Teams and second affirmative speaker on the Debating Teams. Emil Plambeck was a member of the teams in oratory and declamation and second negative speaker on the school Debating Team. Grant Barber was a member of the Declamatory, Oratorical, and Extempore Speking Teams, as well as first negative speaker on the school Debating Team. Arthur Hoepner was awarded a letter as a member of the teams in Declamation, Oratory and Extempore Speaking, and was also first speaker affirmative on the school Debating Team. Neal Rohlfs won a letter as a member of the school teams in Declamation, Oratory, and Extempore Speaking and was first negative speaker on the Debating Teams. A letter was given to Howard Littig as a member of the teams in Declama- tion Extempore Speaking and Oratory and as second speaker negative on the school Debating Team. James Carroll was a member of the Declamatory Extempore Speak- ing, and Oratorical Teams and was leader of the negative on the Debating Teams. Ix ris Thomasson was a member of the school teams in Declamation, Oratory, and Ex- tempore Speaking and the second affirmative speaker on the school Debating Teams. Jack Vollertson was a member of the school team in Declamation and Extempore Speaking and was school representative in the Iowa Nine Oratorical Contest at Daven- port. He was also the leader of the affirmative on the Debating Team. Rolland Maack, a member of the school teams in Declamation, Oratory and Extempore Speak- ing, the affirmative leader of school Debating Teams, and the school’s representative in the District State Extempore Speaking Contest at Centerville. Edward Carmody was a member of the Declamatory Oratorical, and Extempore Speaking Teams, the first speaker affirmative on the school Debating Teams, and the school representative in the Oratorical Contest on the Constitution of Davenport. He was also a member of tlje Oratorical Declamation Team, thus surpassing any other member of the public speaking classes. Honorable mention was accorded to Albert Dawson, William Vita, and Rex Denk- mann, who made two of the three teams necessary to secure a letter. Many others, through interest and diligence have helped to raise the standards of the teams offer- ing strong competition for places. The Davenport Debating Teams were defeated in the Iowa Nine Association by Fairfield, although our points were sufficient to give us second place over Iowa City. The other Debating Teams had a completely successful season. In a dual debate with Geneseo, Davenport won both affirmative and negative. In a triangle debate with Rock Island and Dubuque, our teams won again. Of thirty-two contests entered by Davenport teams, we won first place in twenty and second in seven. In view of the large number of participants in the contests, we may truly look upon our record as worthy of pride and a goal of achievement. Page Ninety-four dramatics LOUISE K.

NOT SO BAD Bow: “Yes, I once had a no- tion to marry Gladys.” Wow: “What put the notion out of your head?” Bow: “Gladys.” WHY? The Girl—“I didn’t like the way you smiled at that girl over there.” The Boy—“Neither did she.” ONE FOR VOL STEAD And Gump: “Not going to the Prom?” Uncle Bim: “Nope, I’ve sworn off.” Andy Gump: “Me too, but let’s dance without it.” “There are jokes that make us laugh, There are jokes that make us groan, But the jokes that seem most funny Are the jokes that are my own. —George Duvall. HUMOR PLAY BY PLAY ACCOUNT OF GAME, JUNE 4TH (Mob Assembles Early.) “Doc” Wrixon’s eight-piece band comes on the field playing “Dardenella.” Entire crowd aris- es and claps as they approach the stadium. Prom team trots out on .he floor led by the dashing Soller. i.incup for Signals. In practice Richter calls the signals from left half! It is reported that De Armand has a bad eye which will interfere with his whirling, swinging attack. Miss--------, his running mate is plainly married. Dawson calls a conference. Or- rick explains that he has left his arch supports at home. No oppo- sition snows up so they decide to choose up sides and play. On the flip of the coin it was decided that the band play, “Home Again Blues” on the kickoff. With a sweeping crash- ing start Hanssen kicks off. Lage comes down the floor on a double- shuffle pushing his lady friend in fine style. Soller comes next with good interference before him. Dawson breaks into the limelight by holding his lady’s shirts rath- er high. DeArmand attempts to double-shuffle but is thrown for a loss when the chaperons call him for Charlestoning. Rush comes down the field yelling madly. Play halted. On inquiry it was found that this was Rush’s nat- ural position. Howe tries it. He gets away for a thirty-step gain. Everybody pushing hard at the end of the first half. Score 0 to 0. Between halves Hanssen hits the long trail for the sticks. Rum- or has it that his interference left her vanity case home. Richter leads grand push to Maher’s. Lage comes back looking fresh- er than he did the first half. Goes over and kids the band leader. Wrixon’s boys start out playing “Poor Papa.” In the mad rush, Lage forgets step number two and his support almost falls. Orrick, with his head down, comes push- ing along while his friend gives him perfect interference. Game becomes wilder and rougher, loud- er and funnier. Vollertson calls twice out—the strain is too great. Produces comb and replaces misplaced hair. Crowley tells the boys he is up there to get a story for The Blackhawk on the students’ loan fund. All of them chuckle and chip in a quarter for the starving students. Hostilities resumed. By magnificent stiff-arm work and tearing five hair nets, Richter goes the length of the field for a 90-yard gain. Whistle blows. Score 0 to 0 with Hanssen $9.85 (including war tax) ahead. “Do you think colleges turn out the best men?” “Sure, they turned nie out my first year.” She—“What do you fellows talk about after the dance?” He—“The same things you girls talk about.” She—“Oh! You horrid things.” “Bill’s lost his hat again.' “How do you know?” “I can’t find mine.” Wet—“Where is Nellie tonight?” Dry—“She caught colt in her bear calf and she’s too horse to speak.” Wet—“I believe your lion.” Bill—“Can you swim?” Jack Soller: “I don’t know.” Bill: “Why not?” Soller: “I always sink before I find out.” “I hear a swimmer is suing his wife.” “I see—a bathing suit.” “What’s your idea of a brave man?” “A boy who goes to Colletti’s class with golf knickers on.” “It’s a good thing for Orrick that the looking-glass can’t laugh. Cable—“There’s something in my shoe that hurts.” Shumate: “What is it?” Cable: “My foot!” Kate Clausen: “I have a book you ought to read, my dear. Shall I lend it to you?” Bus Armil: “Heavens no, I can’t even find time to read the books I ought not to.” Page One Hundred Twenty-two Fidlar Chambers Co.
