School DEDICATE this Year Book of 1927 to DL the memory of Colonel George Davenport who founded the city of Davenport in 1835. To his courageous and resolute spirit the present gener- ation is greatly indebted. Any appreciation of their reverence is inexpressible in words. FOREWORD HE STAFF of this publication and the Class of 1927 as a whole have endeavored to produce a piece of work which in the future will be appreciated. It is only when years have rolled by that a yearbook becomes a treasure; then it is that the dusty leaves are turned and their descrip- tions of bygone events studied. We hope we have succeeded in accomplish- ing this purpose. m QHQBQHQHQHQ CONTENTS CAMPUS FACULTY CLASSES ATHLETICS FORENSICS R. O. T. C ORGANIZATIONS HUMOR ononoHonono $£ «$ E Florence E.

Since the election of class officers on February 9th, with Walter Balzer as president, the Juniors have proceeded on their way in an admirable manner. The Basketball dance held at the Outing Club on March 25th was the first affair sponsored by the class. Here Greer’s orchestra was engaged and performed for about one hundred and forty couples. The decorations were carried through in the sport theme with individual basketballs bearing the names of lettermen as outstanding features. In the inter-class track meet on April 16th the Juniors though defeated by the Seniors took a close and meritorious second place with Balzer and Myers as stars. The Junior Prom culminated the season’s triumphs when about one hundred and fifty couples gathered at the Outing Club, on June 10th. The dancing was to the tune of Tony’s Iowans, an eight-piece or- chestra. Decorations were in blue and white, the class colors. According to all the advisers and officers of the class, the 1926-27 Juniors were as good as gold, therefore, they should produce a good future Senior class. SOCIETY ! HE social affairs of the Davenport High School have always been most eagerly looked forward to and largely attended. During the past year, 1926-1027. there have been given by the various classes and organizations five dances—the Foot- ball dance, the R. O. T. C. ball, the Basketball dance, the Senior hop, and the Junior prom. All those who were participants in the first social function of the year given in honor of the football team were most royally entertained. The treasured colors of Red and Blue attractively adorned the ball room of the Outing Club. Footballs, on which were printed the scores of every game scheduled for the past season, ornamented the hall and made especially appropriate decorations. Here and there about the hall were strewn blankets which the men had used during the year. In the center of the balcony was a large “D” which intensified the spirit of the occasion. Was Evans or- chestra good? “Well, I don’t mean maybe” is the only answer to such a question. Everyone stepped lively in order to keep up with the syncopated strains of the musi- cians. The committee in charge of this dance was as follows: Ray Peck, chairman, Ernest Heuck, Wyatt Cable, Harold Andre, Jean Ploehn, Marie Armil, Helen Cox, and Katherine Hayward. Too much credit cannot be given to this committee, for their efforts made the evening a most enjoyable one indeed. The R. O. T. C. ball was held March 11th, at the Outing club. Greer’s orchestra, one of the best known jazz syncopating groups around this part of the country, fur- nished the music for the evening. The only decorations were the American flag and the R. O. T. C. banner which were hung from the balcony. There were about forty couples and twenty stags attending the dance. Although the crowd was small, it was “plenty peppy” and everyone seemed to enjoy himself. Cards were played in the par- lors during intermission and frappe was served. A few minutes to twelve “The Star Spangled Banner” was played and everyone rushed for his coat exclaiming, “Gee, I had a keen time, didn’t you?” Thus ended the dance—a financial failure, but one of the peppiest affairs of its kind in the history of D. H. S. The annual Basketball dance which was held at the Outing club, Friday, March 25th, was a decided success both financially and socially. The decorations were especi- ally attractive. Balloons and paper streamers were cleverly arranged carrying out the well-beloved red and blue colors. Suspended from the ceiling was a basket con- taining a perfectly shot ball. Along the side of the ballroom were strung nine basket- balls on which were printed the names of each letter man. Greer’s orchestra played such “hot” music that the balloons all popped! Everyone upon leaving expressed him- self as having had a “grand time”. Although the dance is over now, the memory of it still remains in both the mind and feet of the participants. The Junior class, and particularly the social committee, is to be congratulated upon the success of the affair. The entire social season for the Davenport High School could not, as a whole, have been a greater success than that of 1926-1927. 3£ _ ■ FOOTBALL COACH JESSE E. DAY Coach Day has made athletics leap with bounds since his first appearance at Daven- port in 1923. He is liked by all and is a great man to have charge of a squad of foot- ball men. His teams have always been leaders, like this year’s, although playing the best of teams. There is a tough schedule awaiting the mentor for next year but we all have much confidence in Mr. Day and are sure he will be able to continue his good work. CAPTAIN CABLE—Tackle Cable in his third and final season led his mates through a successful season because of his fight and good leader- ship. “Whitey” kept his mates in the fighting spirit and in the game at all times. His stellar work on the line broke up many attacks of the opposition both on his side of the line and the other. The leader never stopped play- ing hard as was demonstrated in the Washington game, when he dashed eighty yards to overtake Turner and stop what looked like a sure touchdown. CAPTAIN-ELECT HARTMAN—Half buck “Dick”, who is an all-around athlete and a favorite among the students of the Davenport High School will lead the 1927 Red and Blue team on the gridiron. A hard, fighting type of game is played at all times by the captain- elect. He is a strong and good leader, always keeping his mates in a fighting spirit. It is going to be a hard schedule next year but we wish Hartman “lots of luck”. 168 l@l 161 I8l 32 -®x®- Sx S5 a5x WALTER MOSIER—Quarterback “Walt” is one of the best athletes that the Davenport High School has ever placed on the gridiron. His leader- ship, his kicking, his passing and his carrying of the ball was unsurpassed. Many was the time that “Walt's” un- canny ability to carry the pigskin pulled the D. H. S eleven out of a hard game with the long end of the count. Mosier, in his third and final season on the grid- iron made the second all-state team and first Tri-City team. GEORGE DECKER—Fullback Inexperienced but eager to make the eleven George set out at the beginning of the season with the needed fight to make a football team. However, he had a more experienced and hard man as a competitor for the fullback berth, in Wagner. This was his first year of football at the High and his last. ROLLO HUTCHINSON—Halfback “Hutch” although one of the smallest men on the squad was one of the scrappiest. After working for three years in an effort to make his “D” he came through in his final season and earned the signia of the Davenport High for his work on the gridiron. It was his hard hitting, smash- ing that made up for his size. Many a time the little back broke through the line of opposition, which was made up of a string of heavyweights. GENE WAGNER—Fullback Gene was the kind of athlete that coaches and schools regret to loose. He was a hard, earnest player on the gridiron. His punting was a big tiling in the playing of the Red and Blue eleven throughout the year. He was not only a football player of much ability but also a good student and well liked by all students and fans of D. H. S. RAYMOND RO DDE WIG—End A hard fighting end, who was aways in the game will describe “Ray”. He was a great man at pulling down a pass from the hands of any of his mates in the backficld or breaking up opposing aerial attacks. He was also a wizard at getting down the field and tackling the man, receiv- ing the punt, in his tracks. WILLIAM BOLLES—Guard “Bill” although another one of the smaller linemen was always in the game with full “pep”. He was a hard man for the opposition to stop and was always helping his mates break up the opposition’s plays before they reached the line. This was Bolles’ first and last year on the eleven. RALPH TOFANELLI— Halfback A fast and clever back, was the marking placed on “Tuffy,” throughout the season. The little back was very elusive and hard to stop. His running and passing gained much ground for the Red and Blue eleven and his drop- kicking gained many a point for the Davenport crew. He will be back next season. MORRIS MARTIN—Guard A hard fighter, who was always in the game for his school was the type of player Coach Day had in “Morrie”. He was a hard worker and his success as a player should be attributed to this characteristic. This was Martin’s last season on the grid team. GERALD FOSTER—Tackle “Jerry” saw his first year as a regular on the Red and Blue eleven this season, when he held down a tackle berth, opposite Captain Cable. Here he played a great game, using his 200 pounds to good advantage. Many a time did the “little boy” completely demolish the opposing line, and this characteristic should make Foster one of the strong- est men on the line of the 1027 eleven. FRED SCRIRNER—Center mpet much ability as a performer of the gridiron. He developed at a rapid pace as a center. He was not only a good offensive center but on the defense, his ability to break up opposing plays was a big feature of the Red and Blue team. His “scrap” and playing at the pivot position should be a big factor in next year’s team. WALTER BALZE R—Quarterback A dependable man, when he was in the game, was the type of player Coach Day had in “Walt”. The hard hitting back improved steadily as the season progressed and when the season was nearing its end Balzer was able to do everything that could be expected of a back, in good style. He will be a strong man on next season’s eleven. WAYNE ROUSE—Guard Although he did not have many chances to show his ability on the gridiron, Rouse was always in the battle, when in the game. He developed fast as a lineman and as this was his Junior year he will be back to fill a post in the front wall of the team, next season. BILLY MASON—End An end of much ability was the type of player Coach Day had in Mason. This lad did not get much of a chance to perform this year but his experience should make him a valuable wing-man for the 1927 season. His ability to drop-kick should also be of much value during his final year. HENRY DAHL—End ‘ Heinie” was a strong man on the wing position. His ability to “snag” passes gained much ground for the D. H. S. crew during the season. One of the big features in Dahl’s game was his ability to get down the field on punts, to stop the receiver from returning the oval very far. This was Henry’s first season, so Coach Day may look for two more years of playing from this boy. JAMES STELK—Guard Coach Day had a strong dependable player in “Jim”, who saw his second year on the D. H. S. eleven. In his first year he substituted at a guard position and this sea- son this post found the husky boy playing regularly. Stelk should be a tower of strength in the team next season. 63 ■' ‘I’Wrfn.

That is j the reason Davenport High School and Coaches Day and Trumbo had the right of pride at the close of the 1926 football season. The Ited and Blue eleven of the last season went through a schedule of ten games, undefeated and scored upon hut twice. A total of 139 points was scored against their opponents 10 points, to make the year a success insofar as figures are concerned. Coach Day had before him a long schedule, that opened early at the beginning of the season, so he set in with the remains of last year’s team, to round out a team that could stand a long and hard grind. He succeeded. The first game was an even break for the D. H. S. outfit. They traveled to Fairfield to meet a team of gridders from that city. It was the first meeting of these two schools on the gridiron for many a year. The Davenporters had scored a field goal in the earlier stages of the game and seemed to have the battle on ice. However, in the final minutes of play, the down-state team worked the pigskin down within distance for a drop-kick. They took their chance and failed, but the few seconds remaining gave them time for another attempt, which was made good. This tied the count and forced the Daymen to open the season with a tie game. The following battle found the home season being opened with a team that was another newcomer on the schedule. The Lyons eleven invaded the city, for the first time in many a moon. They had a hard fighting team but they were no match for Captain Cable and his mates. The local mentor used a total of twenty-four men in this fray and they all held the up-stream crew at bay. The Davenport goal line was threatened but once and that threat was stopped with haste, to find the locals start another drive down the field for a touchdown. The final count found the Red and Blue eleven with a lead of 33 to 0 to make it a big victory, for the opening of the home season. After this over-whelming victory the mentor took his men on a short jaunt into Illinois where the Galesburg grid team was encountered. The Siwash eleven opened the game with a “bang” and looked like sure winners. They scored a touchdown, in but a few minutes time after the opening kickoff. However, this sort of game was short lived, and the Iowa crew soon came out of their daze. Mosier and Hartman started to hit their stride and the other members of the team followed. Before the last whistle was heard Mosier had dashed 85 yards for a touchdown and Hartman had made two short runs over the last white line, which when added to Tofan- elli’s three points after touchdowns, gave Coach Day’s men a 21 to 7 victory. This was the second and last team to score on the Davenporters during the season. The two battles that followed found the team on home soil and hitting their stride in good form. The Iowa City team gave the locals a hard battle in the first of these two struggles but were unable to score. The Little Hawks made the Davenporters battle all the way, for they gained a great deal of ground. However, that drive and fight to score when the right time came, enabled the D. H. S. eleven to take the game. A fea- ture of this battle was McGuire's run from out behind his own goal line, on a kickoff, for 45 yards. He looked like a sure scorer but Tofanelli cleverly awaited the runner and stopped him with a beautiful tackle. The final whistle found Davenport with a 19 to 0 victory in hand. The Washington High outfit was next encountered and again the locals had a hard battle. Although the score gave the locals a 28 to 0 victory, it does not indicate the type of game played. Both teams played on even terms throughout he first half and it was the final quarter that gave the D. H. S. crew the victory. Captain Cable per- formed in a sensational manner in this battle, when he dashed practically the entire length of the field to stop an opposing back from dashing the same distance, for a touchdown. The following two battles found the Davenporters out of town. The North Des Moines gridders were handed a good trouncing as the Daymen left the Capital citv with a 21 to 0 victory. A passing attack that was unable to be stopped by the Pink and Gold eleven counted much in the victory for the Davenporters. The linemen also functioned neatly in this tussle and their opening of holes and interference to backfield men was a big factor in the win. The old foe from up-stream. Clinton, was next met by the Red and Blue gridders. This game was played on a Friday so that the team may attend the Iowa-Minnesota game at Iowa City the next day. The Clintonites were said to be “easy stuff” for the Davenport crew. But they had this game in view all season and were primed for a hard battle. They gave the D. H. S. men just that, and a 7 to 0 win was gladly taken by Captain Cable and his followers as they emerged from the city. The annual Armistice Day affair with Rock Island found another one of those battles in which the teams are predicted so uneven in strength. Again it turned out as many of them do. The Islanders were well prepared to seek revenge for their 33 to 0 defeat of the season before. The elevens took the field amid all the customary noise and cheer and opened a tilt that was a battle from beginning to end. The 4,000 fans enjoyed a great game filled with thrills and good football. Mosier made the only touchdown of the game, after the ball had been worked down to the 1 yard line by a series of line plays. Tofanelli made the extra point. Thus this keenly watched game ended in a 7 to 0 win for the Red and Blue team. The Muscatine game which was the next scheduled battle was canceled because of heavy snowstorms of that week. Blankets of snow many inches thick covered the grid- iron and it was unbelievable to attempt a game on such a field. The final battle of the season was the Dubuque struggle which was played on Thanksgiving Day. A bad field accompanied with rain and fog played a big part in this annual affair. The slippery field made it impossible for either team to display the needed punch, when the goal was neared, to give them a touchdown. The type of ball played by the Dal .ellmen completely «lazed the locals for a time for they often ran and passed the oval from out behind their own goal posts and took other daring chances. The only opportunity the locals ha ! to score was in the secoml period when they had the pigskin on the one yard line. Here they were held for four downs by the strong Dubuque front wall. Again in the final minutes they neared the goal line but the gun was heard before the ball could be advanced further. Thus the season closed, with a tie game, as it was opened. With such a record chalked up against this class of teams this season Manager “Newts” Bornhohlt thought it a necessity to book some better teams. Consequently next season will find Coach Day and his men confronted with a schedule that includes not one easy game. One Chicago team, Moline, and others have been schedule� ! and every game to be played will be a hard battle for the Red and Blue eleven. COACH GLENN M. TRUMBO Coach Glenn M. Trumbo made his first appearance as head coach of the Red and Blue cage team this season. Although his initial season, he performed in veteran form and gave D. H. S. a successful quin- tet this season. Mr. Trumbo should be given much credit for the team’s success this year and the fact that the Davenport High shared honors for the Tri- City title. CAPTAIN TOFANELLI— Guard “TulTy” led his mates through a good season. Although the leader was moved from a forward to guard position he performed well. His scoring was a big factor in many of the victories of the Red and Blue team. Ralph will return for the first part of next season. CAPTAIN-ELECT BALZER—Forward Marked “Walt” like his running mate, Mosier, and playing much the same type of game as the veteran, Balzer made his first appearance on the regular five this year. He was always in the battle with “lots of fight”. His scoring in the latter part of the season was also a feature of his game. Walter should be very cap- able to lead a quintet of D. H. S. cagers through the season of 1027-28 with his leadership and stellar playing. BILLY MASON—Center “Billy,” a hard worker and worthy substitute, should be a big factor in the build- ing of next year’s basket five. Although not able to display his playing very often, when in tne battle he played hard. He has a good eye for the hoop and should count often next season. JACK SUNDER BRUCH—Forward Jack was a hard working basketeer who gained momen- tum at a forward post, as the basket days rolled by and developed into a good dependable man. He exhibited a nice passing game, possessed plenty of the Red and Blue “scrap,” and coordinated with his mates in good fashion. A February sheepskin, next year, will mark the close of Jack’s athletic efforts for D. H. S. WALTER MOSIER—Forward “Walt’s” playing on the cage court as on the gridiron was that of a star, always fighting and ready to give his best to help his mates. His ability to lead his fellow-men through a hard and close game was very valuable to the Red and Blue team. Although eligible for only half the season he was a great factor in the making of the D. H. S. record. Such an athlete as Walter is long remembered. ERWIN MATH—Center “Bud” played his final year under the Red and Blue colors this year and although it was for only half the season his playing will be well remem- bered as fast, clever, and valuable. Like Mosier, he was eligible for but seven of the games. However, in this time he did much for D. H. S. on the cage court and sustained a record enough to land hir pivot position on North’s all-state sec ond team. HENRY DAHL—Guard A strong, dependable guard who broke up play after play in all the games was the type of player Coach Trumbo had in Dahl. Al- though not a heavy scorer “Heinie” easily played his share of the battle by stopping the opposing at- tack. His guarding should be a big factor in the suc- cess of next year’s five. 68 ®s m i|i m i$i ii ii i@i lei 11 ii ii i@i I! IS I 101 II l|l 101 II II II 101 HARRY W A LLA R AB—Forward Wallarab was a man who was shifted to every posi- tion on the I). H. S. cage five. He was not only shifted hut he played at all the posts in good form. Starting at guard, on the loss of Math he was sent to center and later to the forward berth. He was a hard fighter and a good scorer. This was Harry’s last year. GRANT HARTMAN—Guard “Dick” was a fighting demon, always in the battle for his school and team. He played a strong defensive game at guard in the first part of the season and when shifted to center in the latter part continued his strong game. He was also a good scorer, making his counters when they were badly needed. Grant will be back for the first part of next season.

Trumbo at the helm. The new mentor did very well in his new position — and placed a team on the hardwood that went through a schedule of 14 games with nine victories and five defeats. The honors for the Tri-City title were shared with the Moline aggregation by Coach Trumbo’s five and some of the best teams in the state were encountered, so it may be called a successful season, with much credit passed on to the new coach. With three lettermen, and two of these for only the first half of the season, the Red and Blue mentor set out at the beginning of the season to build up a team that would have to meet the best. The first half of the season found his cagers take seven games in a row. However, Mosier and Math were lost at this time and the remainder of the season found the team playing in and out basketball. The team that defeated Newton, the State Champs of the year before, Wilton, Moline, Geneseo, Rock Island, Muscatine and Oskaloosa looked like the best in this vicinity. Math and Mosier were leading a great aggregation of basketeers through a lough schedule, but their finish came and the team took a slump. The opening battle of the season found the Davenporters completely outclassing the State Champs of 1925-26. Teamwork and some classy shooting gave the Red and Blue team a 47 to 19 victory in their first battle of the’season. Coach Trumbo used ten men in this fray. The Red and Blue crew then tackled Moline, in the first meeting of these two school in any athletics for three years. The game was played in New Year’s Eve and found the Davenporters in great form. Captain Tofanelli and his mates outplayed their taller opponents and chalked up a 27 to 21 victory. Then the D. H. S. hoopsters took on the Wilton and Geneseo aggregations. The Wilton five proved no easy matter and gave the locals a good battle. The final count was 33 to 18. The Geneseo game found the mentor keeping his two stars, Math and Mosier out of the fray until the second stanza, and the final count found the Daven- porters with a 32 to 9 lead. Again the locals played a Tri-City battle when they met the Rock Island outfit. This battle proved another easy step for the Davenporters toward the Tri-City title and ended in a 30 to 16 count. The Muscatine game which followed proved one of the toughest games of the sea- son. The State Champions gave the Red and Blue a hard battle but were finally nosed out by a 20 to 19 mark. It was one of the two defeats that that team suffered through- out the year in its scheduled season. Then the Oskaloosa fray marked the finale of Mosier and Math and their stellar playing. They helped their mates into an easy victory with a 29 to 19 count. This marked the mid-season point and the beginning of the second semester of schooling along with a change in the Davenporter’s playing. The Clinton team was the first aggregation to spell defeat to Coach Trumbo’s five. Coach Livermore’s team played a great brand of ball but was always pushed by the D. H. S. quintet. It was the second quarter, in which the Clintonites went wild with baskets, that spelled defeat for the Red and Blue squad. In this time an eight point lead was gained by the up-river crew that gave them a 24 to 16 victory. Galesburg next pulled the lion stunt and handed the locals a defeat. The two teams played a great defensive game and the score was kept low. The Davenport quintet played hard and good ball throughout but they were unable to hit the basket and the tale was turned over, with the Galesburg team. Not until the final whistle was heard was the game decided. The local five was always pushing their opponents and in the closing minutes had several free throws but were unable to make them count, so the game closed with an 18 to 16 score. The third Tri-City battle of the season was then played with Rock Island. This game found the Islanders hitting their best stride of the season and hitting the hoop with great regularity. The Red and Blue five was unable to keep up with this pace and lost another final minute struggle, by a margin of 21 to 20. The Muscatine five handed the Davenporters the fourth in a row with a 27 to 13 count, and secured sweet revenge for the earlier defeat. This game made it enough for the locals and they took out their spite on the Iowa City crew on a later date. The Little Hawks could not stop the clever, fast ball played by the Davenporters that night and they dropped a tilt to a team that was at their best. Captain-elect Balzer hit a great stride in this game and calked up a total of 17 points. The final count found the locals with a 31 to 16 lead. Coach Trumbo then took his men up to Dubuque where they encountered the team of that city in the final scheduled out-of-town game. The Dubs proved little opposition, but the Davenport five had slumps at times during the game, and the up-stream crew succeeded in creeping up on Captain Tofanelli and his mates in the count column. How- ever, the final whistle found the Red and Blue crew with a 21 to 14 victory in their hands. The final battle on the schedule found the classy Washington High team of Cedar Rapids invading the city. This nationally known team found plenty of opposition in the Davenport quintet and suffered a plenty hard. The local five pushed the Cedar Rapids crew to the limit at all times and never gave up the game. It was the ability of Cummins to hit the loop from any angle or position every time he had the ball, that gave them the victory, with a 29 to 22 score. At the tournament the Davenport crew met the Iowa City cagers whom they had defeated with such an overwhelming score earlier in the season. This tilt was the best game of the entire tournament and proved to be a battle throughout. It went as far as cne overtime period but the Red and Blue five was unable to capture a large enough lead to give them the game. The one point margin of the 20 to 19 score spelled the finis of the basketball season for the Davenport five. Captain Hartman Meyer, F. Peck Davis, G. Balzer Sebelein Tofanelli Pappas Loufek, G.

H. S. track team had ever had on the cinder paths. The Red and Blue team under the leadership of Captain Hartman and coaching of Jesse E. Day opened the season with a great pace and con- tinued the same stride throughout the season. Coach Day was greeted, at the opening of the season with the large number of ileet footed boys, whom he had been developing in the past two years, and with this squad of veterans as a nucleus for a leading team, the mentor set out to develop a strong group of tracksters to represent the Red and Blue on the cinder path. The performances of the team during the season showed that Coach Day was successful in his work. 71 The mentor made his first call for track men long before the basketball season closed. He sent the men, who were out at that time, through daily workouts in the corridors of the third floor of the school building. This site, which must serve as the indoor track for the Red and Blue candidates, found a goodly number of the men working out daily. A team of six men was developed at this time and sent to the indoor meet at Iowa City on Feb. 22. Although the men captured only a few points at this meet their performances were good, considering the conditions, under which they were forced to take all their preliminary workouts. After this meet the earliest opportunity possible was taken by Coach Day to send his men out on the outdoor track at the North Brady street stadium. After the men once reached this new spot of work and the basketball men reported for the cinder path sport, active work for the outdoor season was started. The Red and Blue track team had a hard season ahead of them and work was the thing, that the mentor knew would prepare them for this grind. The large squad of candidates worked hard and development was made at a rapid pace. The many men, who had had some experience fell right in line with the work while most of the new fellows had little trouble meeting the requirements. By the time of the first meet, a dual affair with Moline, Coach Day had a large squad of good track men developed. He sent them into this meet and they performed in veteran form. Every man met more than the expectations and the lightly clad lads from across the river had to go home with the light end of a decided lop-sided score. The Davenporters in this performance broke many of the records, which had been made on the North Brady street track the year before. In the second meet of the season the Red and Blue stars continued their strong pace and captured the triangular meet, with, Clinton, Rock Island and Davenport highs competing. This classic also found the D. H. S. track and fieldmen at their best, to break the records of the local track, many of those set the preceding week. The men were establishing a real reputation for the Davenport school on the cinder path. The following week found the Red and Blue entering the “Gateway Classic,” held at Clinton. This invitational affair found some of the leading schools of eastern Iowa and western Illinois competing. However the Davenport team held their own and led the scoring column for the greater part of the meet, against such opposition as Sterl- ing, Rock Falls and Streator of Illinois and Washington High of Cedar Rapids and other strong Iowa schools. Before the final event of the day, the mile relay, was run off, the local team had the meet by a scant margin, but this event spelled defeat for the Davenporters by two-thirds of a point, for they were unable to place, while the Cedar Rapids crew won the event in fast time. With this start in the season’s work the D. H. S. team continued their pace in great form and made some excellent showings at the remaining meets. Although tough competition was received at all the remaining classics the Red and Blue track and field stars stayed up among the leaders. At Iowa City, the University Invitational Meet, found some of the leading teams in Iowa present in full strenth. This did not hinder the Davenporters from stepping out and making a good account of themselves in most of the events. The State District Meet at Davenport again found Coach Day’s men displaying their ability on the cinder path. The leading teams in this part of the state took part in this affair and some very strong competition was seen in all the events. The closing classic of the year was the Tri-City Meet. This was the first time for many a moon that these three schools had linked arms on the cinder path and fought it out. It was a great affair to see the three strong rivals contending for honors on the oval at North Brady street, in what was a great reunion, after a long lapse of hard feelings. MINOR SPORTS The field of minor sports at the local high school has been shifting greatly in the past few years. The old timers are passing out and such sports as tennis, swimming and golf are taking their place. Tennis made a strong entry into the field of sports at the local school this year. The large number of students interested in the new sport made an attempt to place in the school athletics and they were successful. Mr. Baker helped the students, inter- ested in developing this sport and it is thought that the sport will grow in popularity from year to year at D. H. S. Swimming held its own again this year, with such stars as Boyd Liddle, Jake Gordon and Merle Naylor representing the Red and Blue in this field.

It was a bitter cold March night. The raiders presently discovered Julius Ack- erman, clad in trousers and underwear, hanging outside from the ledge of the second-story window. “I called this gentleman in to adjust my radio,” explained Mr. Grovello. Alfred Jones, Chicago printer, boot- legger, and counterfeiter, appeared in court because of a $15 bill he had offered his landlady. The latter, not being a col- lector in search of unique issues, notified the authorities. “It was just a typographical error,” said Jones. “I intended to make it a $25 bill.” Virginia Wingert: “Sir, I believe you’re trying to kiss me.” Bill Loufek: “My, my, you must be a detective!” Bobbie Fichten: “Are you the oldest in your family?” Whitey Cable: “No, my father is.” As A Davenporter I)o You Know That Charley White was the water-boy for the 1926 football team ?

WAGNER SONS Wagner’s Printery ESTABLISHED 1879 better Printers p Phone Davenport 329 315-317 WEST FOURTH STREET DAVENPORT, IOWA AUTOGRAPHS creat deal of time and patience has been devoted to this yearbook, in order to make it truly represent the activities of the Davenport High School for the past year. It has been a great pleasure, however, to work with the various groups and individuals who have helped to produce this book. The cooperation of the staff as a whole has been really appreciated. We take this opportunity also to thank Mr. Harry Downer and the Public Library for the use of the portrait of Col. Davenport which appears in the dedica- tion. We extend our thanks also to the following: Mr. Lester Toloff of the Hostetler Studio for the fine work of producing the individual pictures; Mr. Harry Bawden of Bawden Bros, for the care taken in giving us the best engravings possible and for his helpful suggestions offered from time to time; Mr. Arthur Wagner of Wagner’s Printery for his suggestions and for his effort given in printing the book; “The Doodad,” published by J. H. C. Petersen’s Sons Co. for the unselfish help offered us; Mr. Ed. Fromader for his prompt work in producing the group pictures; Mr. George Edward Marshall for his wonderful cooperation with the staff at all times; the advertisers for the financial assistance so willingly given. Without this aid the book could not have been produced. We hope that in the years to follow the class of 1927 will really appreciate the services these individuals and groups have given to the 1927 Blackhawk Yearbook.
