L J Business Manager Advertising Manager FOREWORD (O EAL1ZING t at memory alone cannot truth' kJ fully record the names and faces ot all school friends, we have undertaken the pleasant task of recording permanently such pictures as will be treasured in alter years. We, the staff, have done our best to make this yearbook a true representative of the class of '28. The Staff. PROLOGUE ‘For I dipt into the future far as human eye could see. Saw the vision of the world, and all the wonders that would be; Saw the heavens fill with commerce, argosies of magic sails. Pilots of the purple twilight, drooping down with costly bales; Heard the heavens fill with shouting, and there rain'd a ghastly dew From the nations’ airy navies grappling in the central blue.” Tennyson. £ reams are not useless or always impossible, as is seen from reading the above selection from Tennyson. Everyone has dreams that spur him on to dizzy heights of success. Even Hood, a noted writer, says: “Some dreams we have are nothing else but dreams, unnatural and full of contradictions, yet others of our most romantic schemes are something more than fictions. e, the staff of the 1928 Blackhawk year book, dedicate our humble efforts to Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh in appreciation of his efforts to raise the standard of American manhood and womanh(X)d.

It has been a notable year in many respects. Numerous cases of high distinction in scholarship, outstanding achievements in public speaking and dra- matics and noteworthy successes in athletics have been the high lights of the year. The average run of the year has been good. With the passing of the Class of 1928 go some of our bright stars in the various activities of the school. Their fine work will not be forgotten. They have now their places in the annals of D. H. S. George Edward Marshall. • SJ: [ 1928 ] ■ Eleven THE B L AC K H AW K FACULTY Florence Anderson Instructor in Latin and Germayx University of Michigan University of Minnesota, B. S. William R.

These sylph-like dancers arc for the annual Junior Basketball dance, which was held March 16, 1928, at the Outing Club. Johnny Day's eight hot” musicians provided the syncopation, and the social committee composed of Charley Gunther, chairman, Jane Cummins, Jane Heesch, Jean Ficke, Barney Klinck, Willie Wingert, and Art Spencer provided the musicians plus the decorations. Basketballs, on which were writ- ten the names of the cage players, were suspended from the center of the room, and streamers of red and blue, which were stretched across the ceiling, completed the decorations, which were plenty keen. The chaperons were Miss Esther L. Bissell, girls' adviser, Miss Josephine Mirfield, English instruc- tor, Mr. Russell Bickford, class adviser, Mr. and Mrs. George Cummins, and Mr. and Mrs. Julius Ficke. The first dance of the year was arranged with the idea of entertaining the football team, on De- cember 3, 1927, which date marked the first social event of the fall semester as a success. Artistic? “Well, we hope to tell you.” A massive centerpiece of red and blue streamers formed a fountain-like chandelier, illuminated by tiny, hidden red and blue lights. Paper ribbons radiated to the 1928 Fifty-nine THE BLACKH AWK four corners of the room, where floating balloons held them in place. On the big wall were fastened miniature blue footballs bearing in red letters the cognomens of Coach Days gridders. Over the bah cony posts were draped football blankets. The chaperons were Miss Esther L. Bissell, the class advisers. Miss Lorine Surman and Mr. Glenn Trumbo, Mr. and Mrs. Scribner, Mr. and Mrs. Charles J. Stelk, Mr. and Mrs. C. H. Heuck, and Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Foster. (Assez. N’est-ce pas?) Bill Greer and his orchestra produced the inspiring music. The affair was managed by Chairman Ray Nielsen, Fred Scribner, Jim Stelk, Rollo Hutchinson, Marion Bein, Gertrude Heuck, Ruth Rogers, and Elizabeth Wilcox. The first day of June, nineteen hundred twenty eight, the Seniors staged their Hop—the second Hop in the entire social career of D. H. S. Flindt’s ten-piece orchestra from Madison, Wisconsin, was the treat of the evening. There was more than a little friction between feet and floor, for the music was irresistible. The MINOR details were taken care of by the capable committee named elsewhere. As a matter of fact, the music was so entrancing and captivating that no one had time or eyes for aught else. “ ’Tis true, ‘tis pity, and pity tis, tis true,' but although things learned in the class room may be remembered as long as thoughts of this dance, with how much the greater pleasure shall we recall the latter! On June 8, 1928, the Outing Club was an illuminated setting for the last dance of the social cal- endar, the Junior Prom. Carlisle Evans’ Orchestra sent music through the air, while golden ”D’s re- flected the unequalled spirit of D. H. S., and a myriad of translucent balloons radiated their warm colors. The party was a grand success. It was the best attended and the most enjoyable of all that have been held this year—which happens to be leap year. The entertaining students made excellent hosts. May they be the guests next year and may they be entertained as royally as they have enter- tained.

The track team of 1928 is no doubt one of the outstanding teams of athletic history. The fine spirit of cooperation and sportmanship among the boys of these teams assures us of more exceptional teams yet to come. Jesse E. Day. Jesse E. Day Captain Hartman Captain-Elect Dahl -r Sixty'four =[ 1928 ] SENIOR TEAR BOOK Balzer Walt proved himself to he one of the most con- sistent men of the backficld by being a clever open field runner, and his ability to receive passes made his playing outstanding. Scribner Scrib played his second and last year as center of the team. Fred played a hard defensive game and was also an accurate passer. Opposing teams seldom made gains through the center of the line. Rouse This is the second year for Wayne. He developed into a very dependable lineman. He was a sure tackier and a fierce charger, and his playing was a decided asset to the team. Captain-Elect Dahl Dahl's playing at end was of such sterling quality that he won a place on the All-Tri-City football team. His contribution to Davenport's athletics as a three-letter man has helped greatly to raise Red and Blue standards. Foster It goes without saying that Gerry, two hundred and ten pound tackle, proved to be the greatest menace to opposing teams. Foster was equally ef- ficient on both offense and defense. Coach Day will have to search long before finding someone to fill the big boy's place. Stiff Elmer's brand of playing was consistent through- out the season. His fight and his heady playing helped to take care of his side of the line. • U [ 1928 ] Sixty- ivc THE BLACKHAWK =r • Mason Billy found his regular position at end this year when he proceeded to handle the position as an old-timer might. He proved his ability to get down under punts and stop sweeping end runs. This is Billy’s senior year. Krauss Herman was fast and full of fight and a constant source of worry to opposing teams. He was a good defensive man, and could take punishment grace- fully. Peck Peck held down a wing position with considerable skill. He was fast in getting down under punts and a good tackier. Peck finished with the January class. George Loufek Although George was handicapped by the fact that there were a number of old backfield men on the team, he proved that a new man can give the regulars a run for their money. He will be back next year as one of the four lettcrmen returning, and should develop into one of the fastest backs in the state. Stelk Jim was one of the most versatile men on the team. His ability to plow through the line brought him the fulback position, but toward the end of the season he was shifted back to his line hearth. [ 1928 ] Sixty-six SENIOR TEAR BOOK SUNDERBRUCH Playing his last year for Davenport, Jack held down a half'back position most efficiently. He was good at running interference and always hit the line with great force. Captain Hartman The responsibility of being captain often lessens the opportunity for a player's best work: not so with Dick. He was a tower of strength both on offense and defense, and wound up his High School foot' ball career in a brilliant fashion. Bob Loufek This was Bob’s first year as a regular. His lack of experience did not, however, seem to interfere with his playing, as he proved to be a powerful lineman. Bob will be back next year. Karstens Chaunccy was in the game to give his best. He always showed plenty of fight, and his weight and size were valuable to the success of the team. He has one more year of competition. Fabricius Ed. was one of Coach Day's most dependable substitutes as a wing man. for he played his position in a very commendable fashion, opening holes like a veteran. Tofanelli Ralph was indeed the cleverest backfield man that Coach Day possessed. It was through Toffy's coob headedness that Davenport was able to complete its tricky plays. It will be very hard to fill Ralph's shoes. { 1928 ] Sixty-seven — THE BLACKHAWK = FOOTBALL SUMMARY Tt the beginning of la:t semester. Coaches Day and Trumbo started to build a team which would go far to aesure a big Davenport year. Faced with the hardest schedule he had had in many a moon, Coach Day set forth to produce an aggregation which would wind up the season with a record better than that of the year before. Through hard driving, he succeeded in plac- ing on the field, one of the greatest scoring'machines of his career. In the initial game on the schedule, Davenport received vengeance for the tie game which helped to spoil a perfect record of the preceding year. Fairfield sent her grid combinations to Davenport with the idea of putting another victory on the right side of its ledger. But the locals were primed with the sole purpose of handing Fairfield a trouncing. With this thought in mind the Red and Blue succeed- ed in winning their first tilt by a 13-0 score. A week later. North Des Moines visited this fair city intent on throwing a defeat into the Red and Blue camp. Although the Capital gridders locked like Goliaths by the side of the Davenport men, they proved to be no match for the Red and Blue. When the final whistle blew, Davenport had won by a 20-0 count. The next game found Davenport host to the Orange and Black of Galesburg. The visitors planned to seek vengeance for their 21-7 defeat cf the year before with the help of their little dusky flash, Wimbly. At first, the colored boy promi: ed to be quite a threat, but when Foster and the other local players began smothering him, he became a thing of the past. Tofanelli proved to be Dav- enport's best bet in the scoring end of the game. Galesburg's efforts were of no avail and she went home with a decisive 26-6 defeat. On a hot fall afternoon, Saturday, October 22, 1927 to be exact, Davenport met an old, old rival. After a lapse of five years, Davenport and Moline succeeded in burying the proverbial hatchet. Moline sent her Maroon and White clad athletes to put an end to the ever-growing number of Dav- enport victories. It was written, however, that the school at the top of the Harrison street hill was to defeat its cross-river rival by an overwhelming score. After Hartman, Tofanelli, and Balzer stopped crossing the Moline goal-line, the Manx n and White returned home with drooping heads. The score was, Davenport 34, Moline 0. For the first out-of-town game, Davenport was scheduled to tussle with the Dubuque jinx team. The Davenporters entered the northern city built on the bluffs of the Mississippi river with a string of four victories, but Dubuque had an ebony-hued speed-boy by the name of Martin in her back-field who was some stepper. Martin took advantage of a break in the game and stepped off 55 yards for a touchdown. Twice, Davenport advanced the pigskin within the shadow of the Dubuque goalpost, but in each instance lacked the power to push it over. In order to prevent Davenport from possibly overcoming the Dubuque lead, the Dubuque captain chose to give his adversaries four points by means of two safeties—and the game ended, 6 to 4 in favor of Dubuque. The next game found Davenport in Iowa City. Tofanelli scored Davenport's touchdown in the first half, but the try for point after touchdown was a failure. In the last half, an Iowa City half- back intercepted a Davenport pass and ran 70 yards for a touchdown. Iowa City made good its point after touchdown, which brought about Davenport's second defeat with a score of 7-6. (_____ Sixty-eight [ 1928 ] • ('■ SENIOR TEAR BOOK The annual Armistice Day clash with Rock Island brought grief to many Davenport supporters. This game proved to be the hardest-fought affair of the season. In the first quarter, the Davenport center, Scribner, recovered a fumble and crossed the Rock Island goal line, but unfortunately a Dav- enport player had been offsides. During the last half, Thomas of Rock Island made the only score of the game by running 80 yards for a touchdown. At the end of the game, Rock Island left the field with a six point advantage. November 19, marked the first appearance of a Davenport High School team in Chicago. Dav- enport made a wonderful showing but the well-oiled Decrficld-Shiclds team proved victorious, win- ing out 14-13. For the climax of the season, Davenport retrieved some of her lost laurels by running the roller over Clinton. Clinton had already defeated Dubuque, the conquerors of Davenport, but she was un- able to stop the Tofanelli to Balzer passing attack which proved to be her opponent's chief asset. Time after time Baker would race down the field and grab one of Toffy's passes. The score at the end of the encounter was 34-0 in favor of Davenport. [ 1928 ] Sixty-nine THE BLACKHAWK BASKETBALL Glenn Trumbo ’ HE title of “Mississippi Valley League Champions” is sufficient evidence that the 1927-28 basketball season was a success. To me, the word “Champions” as applied to this basketball team means more than first place in the percentage column. I shall always remember team play as I saw it demonstrated by this team against Washington High at Cedar Rapids and Clin- ton at Davenport. No one who saw either of these games can doubt that their title was a well-deserved one. More student support would have made this season and this team the best in history. It has been a pleasure to work and play, and win and lose with these gentlemen. Glenn Trumbo. Captain Balzer Captain-Elect Loupek Accuracy and fight arc two of the essentials of basketball exhibited by Balzer who closes his High School court career this term. Walt's second letter was well earned, as he showed up to good advantage at either a guard, center, or forward position. Bob was one of the outstanding men on defense of the 1928 squad. His height and reach are material aids to his success, making it possible for him to play the floor game with unusual results. There are op- portunities of a greater season ahead for Captain- Elect Loufek. Seventy [ 1928 ] SENIOR TEAR BOOK Tofanelli Toffy played with the squad until the second semester when Ik became ineligible. Ralph's great speed kept him in the thick of the fray at all times. The team could always depend upon him to sink baskets when they were needed. Hartman For three years Dick has been a merited letter winner, each year playing not only with his body, but also with his mind. Hartman's basketball career was cut short by graduation in January. Pknnock One of the most encouraging factors of the sea- son was the performance of Paul Pcnnock. Paul got his chance in the second Clinton game. One of the bright features of his game was his ability to find the hoop, which fact asserted itself in many games to add points to Davenport's total. Dahl Hcinic was a major reason for the lack of points on the part of opposing quintets. His character- istic way of taking the ball off the backboard and working it down the floor, guarding his man in between times, was a ncvcr-failing delight to home fans. McClenahan Mack was another player who became eligible at the beginning of the second semester. Paul handles the ball well and has an accurate shooting eye, two characteristics which have helped to make him a successful eager. Stf.nnett A shifty forward who adds much to the team- work of his mates! Buck has seen service in a great many encounters of the season. He has a good eye and covers the floor in nice shape. It will be hard to fill Buck's shoes. VlNALL Reed became eligible for basketball at the begin' ning of the spring semester. He played a depend- able game throughout this period, giving his best in all departments of the game. ■{ 1928 }—.............................. „ Seventyone THE BLACKHAWK =r BASKETBALL SUMMARY 'HIS year marked the most successful basketball season for Davenport since Coach Trumbo t(x k over the reins. Out of a fifteen-game schedule, the Red and Blue placed eleven victories on the right side of the ledger. Included in these eleven victories were seven games which the locals won as members of the Mississippi Valley basketball league. As a result of this success, Davenport was able to win the championship of the newly-formed league. Starting the season with five lettermcn, and three of these remaining for only half the time, the Davenporters were able to win six out of eight games be- fore the completion of the fall semester. Following the Washington High game at Cedar Rapids, a sad blow was dealt to Coach Trumbo’s outfit. Graduation had taken three regulars from the lineup. Nevertheless, of the remaining seven games on the card, the rejuvenated lineup won five and lost two. The initial game on the schedule was with Wilton Junction. The former boys put up a great strug- gle, but Davenport was a bit too good for them, winning 10-8. The next tilt found the local cagers at Clinton. As is usual, this contest was a very closely guarded affair. In order to win, the Davenport- ers were forced to put up a vigorous opposition. When the final whistle had blown, however, Coach Trumbo's team had a one-point lead and the final score was 14-13 in favor of Davenport. At Iowa City the next week, the D. H. S. quintet won its third consecutive game. This clash showed up some of the weak spots in the offense of both lineups. The locals had to play hard in order to bring home the bacon. The 17 to 12 score was not much of an achievement. Following the encounter with Iowa City, Captain Baker and his mates took on the Moline aggregation in the first Tri-City contest of the year. Once more the D. H. S. boys tasted the sweetness of victory. Although the Swedes put up a great battle, their best efforts proved futile. Davenport was leading 24 to 15 as the final gun went off. The Muscatine team was the first aggregation to throw defeat into the Red and Blue camp. The Pearl Button City school was represented by one of the classiest quintets found in these parts. Their all- around teamwork and basket shooting proved too much for the Davenporters, and the result was a 22 to 10 Muscatine victory. Davenport then entered the Rock Island lair strongly determined to add an- other Tri-City pelt to her list of victories; but in spite of tremendous efforts it seemed impossible to keep up with the cross-river boys. Rock Island won by a 27 to 23 count. The Washington High game at Cedar Rapids proved to be the roughest game on the slate. There were many fouls chalked up against both teams. Davenport’s ability to score from the foul line netted her a 33 to 27 victory. For the next contest, Dubuque helped to present an exciting evening for the fans. Both teams displayed much teamwork, but the pace set by Davenport was too fast for the Dubs. Baker and his mates were leading by a 19 to 13 margin when the finish came. In a return game here, Clinton succeeded in putting the skids under the Red and Blue. The Bright Spot boys were forced to set a terrific pace to keep out in front of the Davenporters. Pennock, a sub-forward, proved to be the high scorer of the game, garnering over half of the Red and Blue points. The final count gave Clinton a 30 to 29 victory. The Iowa City crew also played a return game here, but their performance showed that they needed much polishing up. The Little Hawks were able to score by means of a number of long shots from the middle of the floor, but failed in their follow-up shots. Davenport was leading by a 28 to 22 score at the end of the game. In order to keep in the running for Tri-City honors, Davenport had to subdue Rock Island, a team which had been victorious over the locals earlier in the season. The Red and Blue basketeers were sinking shots from all angles of the floor Seventy-two [ 1928 ] SENIOR TEAR BOOK =) ‘ during the first half, and ran up an immense lead; however, in the last half, the hoys from across the Mississippi displayed an equally flashy performance and soon caught up with their rivals. Davenport then came to life, and when the final whistle blew walked off the floor victorious to the tune of 25 to 20. In another return game, Davenport overwhelmed Cedar Rapids in a pretty exhibition of basket' ball. Through the efforts of Stennett, Coach Trumbos outfit made things l x k very bad for the visi- tors. The Cedar Rapids quintet was unable to stop the accurate shooting of the D. H. S. combination, and their own scoring was not of a sufficient amount to threaten the Davenport lead. The game closed with Davenport at the long end of a 37 to 25 score. Davenport played its final Tri'City battle in a return game with Moline at the Augustana gym. Up to this time, the Moliners were yet to win an athletic contest with Davenport since the two schools renewed their friendship. The Plow Boys played like demons and connected with the hoop with much regularity. The lead see-sawed from one side to another, but when the game closed, Moline held a three-point lead, thus eliminating Davenport from the Tri-City race. The following evening, D. H. S. received sweet revenge for their early season defeat at the hands of the Muscatine outfit. The visitors were weakened by the graduation of their All-State forward, Buck McIntyre; nevertheless, they did enough scoring to keep the fans up on their toes throughout the game. Davenport won by a 28 to 24 score. For the final encounter of the official season. Coach Trumbo took his outfit to Dubuque to play a return game with the Dubs. With the help of the accurate shooting of Captain Balzer, Davenport was able to wind up the season with a 24 to 21 victory. At the district tournament, the Red and Blue met the Maquoketa players in their first clash. The game should have been a walk-away for the locals, but the small-town boys showed plenty of fight and hit the hoop entirely too often to suit ihe Balzerites. Balzer and his mates were lucky to leave the floor holding the long end of a 27 to 26 count. In the finals of the tournament, Coach Trumbo's hoopsters met their Clinton rivals. These two teams had already split evenly a two-game series earlier in the year. With their stellar captain, Jimmy Ough, at the helm, the Clintonites proved too strong for the Davenportcrs, winning by a 24 to 14 score.

Oak Park, Illinois, proved that it has about the best high school track team in these parts by completely swamping all its com- petitors. By winning live first places and smashing one of the two meet records broken, the Illinois athletes were able to garner 44 points giving them first place. Davenport’s single first place came through the efforts of Walsmith, crack pole vaulter for the Red and Blue. Billy soared through the air at a height of 11 feet 3 inches. Davenport copped second place with 22 points, closely followed by Washington High of Cedar Rapids with 21 points. The next event on the local schedule was the Quad-City Indoor Meet, held at the Augustana gym. The winged-heels of the Red and Blue squad carried them to a well-earned victory. A total of six broken records and one tied record was made. Naylor of Davenport started the toppling of records, running the mile in 4:46-2 5. Parker of Moline tied the time of the 220, running the dis- tance in 25 seconds flat. The next record to fall was the half-mile. Reed Vinall, crack half-miler of the Red and Blue, set a fast pace to cop the event in the fast time of 2:07-1 5 minutes. Walsmith shattered the record for the pole vault with a leap of 10 feet 3 inches. Heinie Dahl ran the 440 in 54.5 seconds to take this event. Edwards of Rock Island broke the high jump standard by making 5 feet 7 inches. Not to be outdone. Tiny Foster heaved the shot put 43 feet 11 inches to break another rec- ord. The first outdoor encounter of the season for Coach Day's men was the track meet with Rock Island at the Brady street stadium. In a meet which was noticeable for the number of records brok- en, the locals completely swamped the wearers of the Crimson and Gold by an 81| to a 50j count. Meyer set a new mark in the 100-yard dash, running the century in JO. 1 seconds. Not content with this feat he proceeded to set a new mark in the 220 in the fast time of 23.3 seconds. The final mark to fall was the pole vault. Billy Walsmith ascended to the height of 10 feet 9 inches for a new rec- ord. Walsmith also took first in the broad jump with a jump of 19 feet 11 inches. Balzer, crack hurd- :r ‘ Seventy'four C 1928 ] FZ ' SEHIOR TEAR BOOK lcr for the Red and Blue, met with bad luck at the finish of the 120 yard high hurdles. After lead' ing the field throughout the race, Walt tripped and fell, while Schnively of Rock Island passed him to take first place. Foster showed his worth as a weight man, taking first in both the shot put and the discus. In the dual meet with Moline, Coach Day's men gave their rivals a very decisive whipping by a score of 98 to 44. During the afternoon five records were smashed and two tied. Captain Meyer set a new record in the 50 yard dash, gliding along at a 5.6 second clip. Balzer set a new record for the 120 yard high hurdles, going over the sticks in 16.8 seconds, bettering the old mark by two-tenths of a second. In a duel of their own Henschen and Walsmith ascended to great heights to thrill the crowd. Walsmith forced Henschen to make a vault of 11 feet 8 inches before the latter was able to win out. Davenport broke both the half-mile relay and the mile records. The final record to fall was the shot put, Foster taking the event with a heave of 46 feet 3 inches. On May 5, Captain Meyer and his mates participated in the Clinton invitational meet. Under wonderful weather conditions, the several athletes from the various scIkkjIs proceeded to attack the dif- ferent marks. The first record to fall was that of the 120 yard high hurdles, Abrahams of Clinton top- ping the sticks in 16.5 seconds, bettering the old record by .7 of a second. Allbee of Muscatine ran the 440 in 53.2 to set another new mark. The next record to fall was the 220 yard low hurdles, Bush of Clinton stepping off the distance in 26.8 seconds. McLeod of Oak Park ran the 220 yard dash in the remarkable time of 22.8. Story of Dubuque won the high jump with a leap of 5 feet 10% inches to set another new record. The last record to fall was the broad jump, Keehn of Burlington leaping 21 feet 8J 2 inches. Davenport's undefeated mile-relay team won in this event to keep a clean slate. Nay- lor took first in the mile run to add five points to the Red and Blue list. Chettesburg of Oak Park nosed out Vinall to give the local boy his first upset. In an exhibition race in the 880 yard dash, Roy Conger of Ames circled the track in the time of 1:58.1. Oak Park took first place, closely followed by Davenport. In an afternoon replete with thrills, Davenport succeeded in capturing the State District Track Meet. Under a beating sun, but upon a track in wonderful condition, a total of eleven records were smashed, seven of which were shattered by Meyer and his mates. Led by their diminutive captain, the Red and Blue speed merchants were able to carry off first honors with a total of 8I 1 points. Clinton took second with 73J 2 markers, followed by University High of Iowa City, Muscatine, Anamosa, Iowa City, and Sabula in the order named. The shattering of records sharted with the 120 yard high hurdles which Balzer won in the wonderful time of 16.1 seconds. The next record to fall was the 100 yard dash, Captain Meyer breaking the tape in 10 flat. Allbee of Muscatine lowered the time for the 440, running the distance in 53.5 for a new record. Bush of Clinton made a new time in the 220 yard low hurdles, winning in 26.9 seconds. Meyer broke his old time for the 220 yard dash, being timed at 23.1. Davenport’s mile relay team set a record for future relay teams by running the event in 3:40.6. The local half mile relay team took this event in the fast time of 1:35 flat for a new record. Captain Meyer as anchor man on the relay team, ran a sensational race and overcame an immense lead to cop the event. Foster heaved the shot put a distance of 47 feet 11 inches to set a new meet record. Jerry came mighty close to equaling the state record. The last record to fall was the pole vault, Bill Walsmith clearing the bar at 11 feet to crack the old record. Ough of Clinton carried off individual honors by scoring 13| 2 points, closely followed by Captain Meyer and Walsmith. Ough set a new mark for the high jump with a leap of 5 feet 9 1 3 inches, nosing out Balzer and Walsmith. Ough also nosed out the same two athletes in the broad jump with a mark of 20 feet 8 inches. Although Coach Day's tracksters bumped up against the stiffest competition to be found in the state at the finals, they did not fail to make a splendid showing and placed themselves well towards the top of the ladder. At the University Invitational Track Meet, some of the best trackmen in the state were assembled. Although the competition was great, it did not prove to be too much for the Red and Blue cinder path artists as will be seen by the wonderful showing made. The final track meet of the year found the Tri-City meet being run off at the Brady Street Stadium. Once more Captain Meyer and his co-partners showed themselves superior to their foes from across the river. This was the final track event for some of the Red and Blue athletes, many donning their suits for the last time At the track banquet held June 7, Frank Hemping, star quarter miler, was named cap- tain for the ensuing year.

I consider this a splendid showing for a school where military training is voluntary, and it is the best evidence that the training is popular with students and patrons of the school.

THE BL ACKHAWK R. O. T. C. ACTIVITIES r lthough the D. H. S. unit of the R. O. T. C. has won no outstanding victories in the corp area competition, it has created a good deal of local interest in military training. Every phase of army work has been covered by the cadets, who have been more than interested in the work. The sch x l of the soldier, of the squad, company, and battalion have been studied with religious exactness. Personal hygiene, map work, gallery practice, and calisthenics have received their share of the time. The first public appearance of the unit was November 11, in the Armistic day parade. The work done at this time was of such high standing that it caused city-wide comment. As usual during the spring, the unit was inspected by the Corp Area head. On May 9, Colonel A. B. Dockery reviewed the amateur soldiers, and found them to be up on all but a few points. Inattention and poor treatment of equipment were given as the worst faults. Two weeks later, the event for which every cadet is keyed up, t x k place. The competitive drill found every mother's son on his toes, and the exhibition was carried through with a snap and punch by the entire battalion. Just a little bit snappier and more precise than the rest” was one reason given for the victory won by Captain Loufek and D company. Company E, commanded by Ells- worth Fcrsch, was given second rating by the judges. The final appearance of Major Fred Scribner and his men was made May 30, in the Memorial day parade. Here again the old vim and vigor were found to predominate and the unit was called one of the snappiest outfits in the line of march. Colonel West and his two aides, Sergeants Carpenter and Larson, arc to be complimented on the splendid work of the battalion this year, and should receive a great deal of the credit for its fine show- ing. Eighty'Six [ 1928 ] ( SENIOR TEAR BOOK FORENSICS ERHAPS the most outstanding feature of this year's forensic record is the extension of the debating activities through the fact that for the first time D. H. S. entered the state de- bating league. Through this extension the school maintained six regular debating teams and participated in more than twenty interscholastic debates. This was accomplished without lowering the standard in other activities and without financial embarrassment. In fact, forensic finances, by virtue of a very generous school support, have seldom if ever been in better shape. The spirit of the forensic squad retained its high level of former years. All these factors and many others contributed to make this an outstanding year in forensics. A. E. Keiber.

Ramser Boys' Work Secretary, Davenport Y. M. C. A. As the curtain descends on the year's activities of the HiY, an interesting panorama disappears from the immediate vision of the schcx l as a whole. A trip backstage, however, reveals a year chuck full of banquets, speeches, and important meetings. The first big affair t x k place at Rock Island, November 8. This was the initial Tri-City get-to- gether of the season, and boasted Professor Shurston of Augustana College as its principal speaker. The annual football banquet sponsored by the Hi Y was held December 1 5 with Burt Ingwersen as chief speaker. Ingwersen, coach of ftx)tball at Iowa U., gave one of the best sport talks heard in local circles this year. Almost the entire football squad was present as guests of the Hi Y. The second Tri-City confab came off at Moline, January 19, and was one of the peppiest meet- ings up to date. The speaker for the occasion was J. Ross Bunce of Chicago. A number of Daven- porters were present and aided with the program as well. The next gathering sponsored by this up-and-going group of fellows was the basketball banquet. Dave Armbruster, swimming coach at Iowa U., was the speaker of the evening. On February 24, the Hi Y conducted its biggest get-together of the year the District Rally. This was the first meeting of its kind to be held in this part of the country and was unusually suc- cessful. There were one hundred and twenty-six registered delegates present from a number of Iowa and Illinois cities. James E. Coons of Iowa Wesleyan was the chief speaker, addressing the fellows at the banquet held that evening at the Chamber of Commerce. Ken Rouse, captain of the University of Chicago football team, spoke at the afternoon discussion. The rally was so well received that plans arc being promoted for an annual affair. The Howling Hundred lived another year, and extended its activities by more eager participation in backing the various athletic contests. The pep parade before the Rock Island game is an example of the splendid enthusiasm worked up by these fellows. Throughout the year. Rev. F. G. Codd led a number of discussion meetings, and his advice on vital questions of life brought up by the fellows was gratefully accepted. A glee club was started in April by W. R. Rozeboom, but because of the short time remaining, it did not take definite form before the semester ended. Besides these major activities, thirty-seven fellows went to the State Older Boys' Conference, and ten men went to the state Hi-Y Camp at Camp Foster. Now that the curtain has descended for this year, its ascent next year is eagerly awaited by all those interested in D. H. S.

The committee in charge was Jeanne Kellenberger, chairman, Marion Bein, and Helen Warcham. The program committee consisted of Gertrude Heuck, chairman, Ceoloe Eysink, Florence Johnson, and Ruth Rogers. Green and yellow, the club colors, were used as decorations; the favors were attractively bound little classics. After dinner, the party adjourned to the parlor where the new officers were installed and a pro- gram was given consisting of a piano solo by Marjorie Maack, a reading of original poetry by Ceoloe Eysink, and a cutting from Austin Strong's Seventh Heaven” by Dorothea Tank. The Davenport Country club was the scene of a peppy picnic staged by the Pierian Literary so- ciety, May 15. Gertrude Heuck was in charge of the affair.

H. S. Some of these are solved by the School Board, others by the high school faculty, while still others are referred to the students themselves to be worked out. In any case, whether it be the school board, faculty, or students that are handling the situation one thing is certain—they could not have succeeded in their task unless they had received the aid and cooperation of the Davenport Business Men. The Brady Street Athletic field, the uniforms of the band, and the existence of the Blackhawk Newspaper are all moiv uments to the generosity of this group. Never have they been called upon in vain. The support of the athletic teams rests partially with them, and they have always come through. We take this opportunity of thanking you men, who by your unselfish actions have made a better year for D. H. S. possible. You realized that your support may not bring immediate fruit, but that eventually it will blossom forth in a bigger and better Davenport. Thanks. The Editor. 4?

To pass the time away, see Bcrnadinc Bruning and Margaret Wachtcr in their comedy skit at the Hclp-Hcl- theatre. Ray Brown is their manager. Emmet Barry has his headquarters at Iowa City.

Kahl, is backing Reuben Stiglitz for president of the United States. James Paustian is traveling over the United States making campaign speeches.

They arc now exhibiting their wares with the Muscatine Salvation Army- nuf scd. When you pass through Dcs Moines and look up at the capitol be sure to remember that the Honorable William Edwin Ranson is now the governor of Iowa.

He may sell bonds, but he won't be sold on a matrimonial bond —not on your life. Ellsworth Fcrsch, alias Ischkibibblc. is now starring on Broadway. You will probably remember that he al- ways sang that song, Together during his high school days.

Fourteen hundred education-mad boys and girls arc now to wander through the cruel world as morons. Authorities, although puzzled at first, have decided that the original spark must have come from a “Fortunate Wallop some olacc between the first and second floors. None of the girls know anything about it, but Minnie Citron and Peg Hartwell arc no where to be found. At the time the fire was discovered, the alarm was rung, and then followed the most enthusiastic fire drill the school has ever known. Mr. Marshall, who kept time, stated that most of the students were out long before they started, which is a big imporvement over Charlie's last month's sale. Several strangers were present to witness the educa- tional blaze. Among them were Miss Virginia Preston, who comes and goes, Mr. Donald Dawson, who was gone a long time ago, and Bill Collector, who comes too often. Announcements have already been made by the school authorities that classes will be held in the fol- lowing places: Gym classes Bettendorf Company Biology—Oakdale Cemetery Zoology—Natatorium French Roumania Latin—Monkey House History--Cemetery Road German—We're going to shoot 'em Civics- -Maehrs Algebra—“by program,” says Mr. Bickford Home management—Wherever We think best Public speaking—Big open spaces Commercial law Roosevelt Chop House English—We ain't got no place We are happy to state that there were no more casualties that might be expected in such a mob rush.

Mr. Rouse started in yesterday afternoon with un- usual vehemence to search. After two hours of care- ful sorting Wayne suddenly started up like a man gone wild screaching “Eureka and other expressions of triumph. A crowd soon gathered and the remark- able story was revealed. It seems that old uncle Ebcnczcr had misplaced the sacred vegetable years before, as a matter of fact it had fallen through the hole in the bucket!

Dear Graduate: Now that you have completed your high school educa- tion and are on your own in this great old world, you are probably thinking seriously about the worlds you have to conquer. It is an interesting life all right, getting started in business and then planning on build- ing so that some day you can have the sort of an estate that will mean you can take it easy when- ever you want to. In order to reach the success you plan to be, it is naturally necessary that you follow certain fundamental rules. One of the most important things you can do is to save a certain percent of your income. James J. Hill, the famous railroad magnate, once said that if a man could not save he might just as well quit, for he could never make a success. The Register Life representatives in Davenport can show you how to start the right sort of an estate with a very small deposit in a life insurance contract.

They have devoted a good deal of time and energy to the produetion, but would have been unable to accomplish anything had it not been for the timely aid and cooperation received from outside. We therefore wish to take this opportunity of thanking these individuals publicly. First of all, we wish to thank Karl Wagner of Wagners Printery for the extra hours of time given in order to get the production out on time. We also wish to express our appreciation for the aid given by Reinhard and Art Wagner as well. Others to whom we extend our heartiest thanks are: Lester Toloff of Hostetlers for his aid in getting the various photographs ready, Harry Bawden of Bawden Brothers for giving us the best engravings possible, the advertisers who contributed to this Kx k, and in this manner made it possible, Miss Esther L. Bissell and George Edward Marshall for their splendid cooperation at all times (especially when we were down at the mouth), and last but not least Joe and Ed for their promptness in seeing that the various group pictures were taken. This cooperation and aid is the only thing that made the Yearbook possible, and we know that in the years to come all of the class will remember the help. We say it again—Thanks. On behalf of the Staff, The Editor. • - - - [ 1928 ] One Hundred Forty-three ‘ —• • THE BE AC KH A XV K jftere t,ndefh Ye '(late ZJ. One Hundred Fortyfour { 1928 ]
