In the Middle Ages, when knighthood was in flow' er, all youth was inspired with a spirit of romance, a love of adventure, and an earnest desire to serve. The young people of today have ideals no less noble and customs no less picturesque than those held by the youth of Arthurian times. If we can in part convey to you this impression, and if we can in later years recall to your mind memories of your classmates and your school, we shall consider our service one of real merit. The Staff. DEDICATION o Sir Galahad, who is the personify cation of all that was good in knight' hood, and whose perseverance in reaching his goal is typical of modern youth, do we, the Staff of 1929, dedicate our efforts.

Martinet-Sierra, the Spanish comedy, selected for the 1929 class play, is well suited to the talent of the senior class. The English version is by Helen and Harley Granville-Barker. The plot concerns Rosario Catellanos, a young lady who envies her three brothers their inde- pendence and freedom from the narrow conventions which surround a woman. Rosario believes her- self to be a “modern” woman who does not wish to be protected, petted, and spoiled. She desires to be a person in her own right and wishes not merely to reflect the glory of a brother or a husband. But Rosario reads romantic novels, and in the course of the play it is discovered that modern love of freedom has not entirely displaced the traditional sentiments in Rosario's heart. She meets her favorite author and is disillusioned when she finds that he doesn't take his own romantic stories seriously. The author dexterously teaches her to replace her lost illusions with realities. The plot is very simple, but with suspense to hold the interest. The charm of the play lies in the characters. They are real people, charming, convincing, because they are a mixture of wisdom and folly. The cast was as follows: Rosario Castellanos ..................Helen Schlegel Dona Barbarita, her grandmother.......Dorothy Tank Maria Pcpa, a servant.................Alice Briccland Emilio, Mario, Pcpc, brothers of Rosario............. ......Elbert Thomas, Carl Ducscr, Emory West The Apparition.

From this group they won six, lost two, and tied one. Considering the number of new men on the team, this is a remarkable record. The team's success was due largely to the fine spirit and good fellowship among the players, to the excellent leadership of Captain ' Heinie Dahl, and last but not least, to the hearty support of the entire student body. The school and coaches may justly feel proud to be represented on the gridiron by this group of athletes. 78 Jesse E. Day. Captain Dahl An ideal leader, Hcinic piloted his mates through a successful season. Positions on the Second All-State Team and the All-Tri-City Team bear evidence of his work. Dahl had one of the leading parts in the famed Davenport passing attack that carried the Davenporters to many victories. Captain-Elect Engel It goes without saying that Ray with his 180 pounds proved to be a great menace to oppos- ing teams. Playing behind the line on defense, Ray backed up his teammates in great style throughout the season. One of the three All Tri-City men to return next year, Ray should give a good account of himself. Herman Gunther Herman, who could perform at any of the forward wall positions with equal quality, was fast and full of fight and a constant worry to opposing teams. He was a good defensive man and could take plenty of punishment. Parsons Keith was a fixture on the forward wall of the Red and Blue and played a consistent game of football in every clash. The fact that Par- sons did not have a bad pass chalked up against him during the season, coupled with his abilitv on the defense, proved him to be of inestimable value to the home team. Layden Mike” demonstrated that there is more than one football player in the family. Davenporters are expecting much from him during two more years of competition. R. Loupek Shifted from tackle to end. Bob developed into a pillar of strength on the forward wall. With his 170 pounds, he caused no end of trouble by repeatedly breaking up end runs. Besides his physical interference, he kept up a ceaseless line of chatter to rattle the opposition. 79 George Loupek Although handicapped by injuries two-thirds of the time, George was always in the thick of the fight inspiring his mates to better work. He could also replace Wellington in passing and kicking when the occasion demanded. West ’’Scotty at quarterback proved himself a pilot of no mean ability. A sure tackier and a bril- liant interference runner, he filled an unglorified position in the back field. At all times cool and calm, the Davenport quarterback was well quali- fied for this berth. Wellington The greatest triple threat man in years. Bus, with his brilliant passing, sensational punting, and great ball-carrying ability, was the keyman ■.( the Davenport offense. The sophomore full- back was the big factor in the famous Daven- port passing attack with his bullct-likc passes. With two more years of comoctition, Bus should have a stellar career. Shunk Although possessing only 110 pounds of weight, the little lad thrilled the stands time after time with his spectacular runs. Kenny proved of inestimable value with his speed and shiftiness. With more weight this fall, the tiny quarterback should accomplish even greater feats. Rogers Using the speed he had acquired on the cinder path in the spring, Rogers succeeded in securing a position in the backfield in his sopho- more year. His efforts in defeating Dcarfield- Shields will long be remembered by the Red and Blue followers. Schwa nk ‘’Wally” was the smallest man on the line, but he made up for size with speed and fight. Shifting through the line and breaking up plays were his favorite tricks. Walt has one more year of competition. • 929: 80 Aupperlr Although handicapped by injuries of one na- ture or another during much of the season. Earl was always aggressive, cither opening holes or breaking up plays. Probably possessing more intestinal fortitude than any player in recent Red and Blue history, the fighting lad was re warded for his gamcness by a position on the All Tri-City Team. Charles Gunther Charley. like his brother, served as utility man on the line. Possessing plenty of nerve, coupled with consistent heady playing, he also was a very valuable man to the team. SUNDERBRl'CH After experiencing tough luck at the beginn- ing of the season. Art went out and won the halfback position that had been occupied by his brother the previous year. He was good at running interference and skirting the ends. Foster Bill. with his 160 pounds of beef and with plenty of speed and fight, was a valuable performer in the powerful Red and Blue line. Foster's big factor was his ability to muss up the opponents' plays before they were launched. Morrell ‘‘Tony developed fast into a very capable lineman. A sure tackier and a fierce charger, he was a decided asset to the team. “Tony” likewise has another year of competition con- fronting him. 81 FOOTBALL SUMMARY AKING the three lettermen remaining from the powerful team of '27, with the addition of reserves and a few sophomores, Coach Jesse Day moulded another strong team, which went through a stiff schedule of nine tough games with only two setbacks. In the initial game with East Waterkx) on September 29, the Red and Blue team opened the 192S schedule before 2500 fans at the Public Schools Athletic Field. When the smoke of the battle had cleared, the scoreboard read—East Waterloo, 2; Davenport, 0. The Waterloo team, which is coached by Merle Makeever, former D. H. S. student, annexed the victory by a safety scored in the first quarter. Determined to make up for the 1927 defeat, the Davenport lads went out for blood the following week in the fray with the famed Deerfield Shields of Chicago. The fighting nxxxl of the Iowans turned the trick and the Chicago lads went back to the Windy City with the short end of a 15-0 score. The next game found the Red and Blue hot on the trail of the Orange and Black of Galesburg. With the help of their little dusky flash, Wimbley, the visitors were confident of securing revenge for the 26'6 defeat of the year before. The end of the fray, however, found the Illinois lads going home with the 0 of a 7-0 score. On October 20, the Red and Blue boys, with bag and baggage, crossed the big creek to battle their old and ancient rival, Moline. In the windup of another characteristic Tri-City game. Bus Wellington smashed through the Moline line to score the only points of the day. The next week the Davenporters paddled up stream to settle old scores with Clinton. After four quarters of battling back and forth, the tussle ended with a scoreless tie. Then came the Iowa City game on the first Saturday in September. The little Hawks opened up with a powerful forward passing attack, and for awhile it looked as if the Red and Blue gridders were slated for a bad day. However, the Davenport lads came back to outdo the Little Hawks at their own game and snatched an 18-6 victory. Although peace covered most of the earth on November 11, a battle royal t x)k place at the local stadium before more than 5000 fans. The Rock Islanders, fighting for their second successive Tri-City title, outplayed the D. H. S. gridders the first half to lead by a 10-0 score at the intermission period. Whatever Coach Day told the Hilltoppers during this period t x k effect, for they came back to make two powerful drives down the field to victory. Probably no more thrilling football was ever packed into four quarters of a high school grid battle than the amount that was exhibited on November 25 in the game with Grant High of Cedar Rapids, at the Coe College field. With their hopes for state championship hinging upon the result of the game, the Bunnies received the initial kickoff to drive down the field for a touchdown. The Dayman, how- ever, launched a powerful passing attack which gave them a 12-7 lead with three minutes to play. Headed by “Tiger” Slavik, All-State fullback, the Grant High team, with visions of their hopes for state championship disappearing, staged a terrific march down the field to win, 13-12. On Thanksgiving Day, the Red and Blue lads routed a five-year old jinx held by Dubuque. When the final gun had barked, the Davenporters held the long end of a 12-0 score, thereby completing an other successful year for the Red and Blue teams. -------------— —ii)|� in� HHnii ,M,| i929 82 BASKETBALL ......................i-iiiii AVENPORT, State Champions for 1929! There may have been better high sch x l teams in Iowa, but none could out'fight this year's team. Those few fans who saw any one of the three final games at the Iowa Field House certainly must have felt proud of these boys. Every member of the regular team was named on one or more honorary “alhstar teams during the season, proving that we had five players who could and did play well when we really needed them. Paul C. Moon, Coach. Captain Robbrt Lou hek Not only did Boh have the honor of captain- ing the State Championship team, hut also of being selected on the All-State aggregation. By means of his height and reach, he could cover an exceedingly large amount of territory in an efficient manner. Captain-Elect Krumbholz Krumy made up for his small stature hy speed and fight, which two things, coupled with his floor playing and eye for the basket, made him one of the outstanding performers on the State Championship team. At the end of the season he had a total of over 200 points, which ranked him among the highest scorers of Eastern Iowa. Nickle Althugh Nickle only saw action in the tour- nament games, the showing he made under those trying conditions was enough to warrant praise for any court performer. With a year and a half of competition awaiting him. great things arc expected from this lad before he bids good-bye to the hill-top institution. McClanahan Paul was the key-man to the powerful Daven- port offense which scored 790 points during the season. He could pass, shoot, and guard with the best of them, which fact together with his generalship made him the outstanding individual of the team. It is a real job that awaits Coach Moon—that of finding a man to fill Paul's shoes. 85 Bertossa Elmer, with Krumbhols, formed not only the smallest forward combination in these parts, but also the most effective. His outstanding per' formancc of the season was in the tournament games, especially in the final encounter with Roosevelt High of Dcs Moines for the State Championship. Twelve of the 26 points scored were registered by him. which fact, together with his all-round floor playing won him a berth on the All'Tournamcnt team. Golden Accuracy and fight, two basketball essentials, were exhibited by Golden, who closes his cage career this semester. Besides playing a good guarding game, Leo could always be depended upon to score a few counters in every contest. Boetger Whity could perform at either forward or center with equal efficiency. Throughout the season he played a dependable game in all de- partments, and thus helped to make the wonder- ful record of the Red and Blue lads possible. George Loufbk George was another dependable substitute who could take the place of a regular at any time. His general all-round playing and speed placed him among the few three-sport men of the school. 86 Laydkn “Mike” secured a letter in his sophomore year by a consistent brand of playing which gradually improved as the season progressed. There arc real opportunities awaiting him in his two more years of competition. Kunkel Kunkcl was a sophomore who managed to win the coveted “D in his first year. He is a natur- al basketball player and with more experience should develop fast. Preston ‘‘A dependable guard and a good basket toss- cr describes Preston at his best. Preston is an- other football and track man who made good on the basketball court. A year and a half of com- petition full of opportunities arc in store for him. 87 BASKETBALL SUMMARY 'HE State Basketball Championship has again been brought to Davenjx rt after nine years of resi- dencc in other towns, Coach Paul C. Moon’s lads sweeping through the nine games of the state tournaments to ascend to the highest court throne in Iowa. With two All-State players. Captain Loufck and McClanahan, and three additional star performers by the names of Krumbholz, Bertossa, and Golden, the Red and Blue possessed a fighting team that formed the most powerful offensive combination in the state. Besides winning the highest honor in the state, the D. H. S. lads placed second in the Mississippi Valley League and the Tri-City Conference. Of the 25 games engaged in during the year, 21 are booked on the right side of the ledger. On the night of December 14, Davenport opened the season on the home court against the highly touted Washington High of Cedar Rapids. After four quarters and an overtime period of battling, the Red and Blue annexed their first victory by a 37-31 score. Davenport's basketball stock soared to a new height the next week with a 30-19 victory over Grant High of Cedar Rapids. On New Year's eve this same Davenport stock dropped far down as a result of the 29-13 defeat meted out by Moline. Davenport came back to run wild against Clinton and win by a 38-22 score. However, Rock Island further ruined the Red and Blue hopes by a 30-26 victory. Minus their supreme confidence, the basket- eers displayed real form to down Dubuque, Iowa City, Washington High, and Grant High in successive games to gain the top position in the Mississippi Valley League. Two defeats, however, by Clinton and Iowa City, resulted in Clinton’s winning the championship. Meanwhile, in the Tri-City race the Dav- enport lads came back to administer a 25-24 defeat to Rock Island, and to trounce Moline by a 36-25 score. On the night of February 28, Davenport opened the drive for the state championship at Musca- tine against Wapello. Flashing a powerful offense, coupled with an effective defense, the Red and Blue lads succeeded in toppling the Wapello lads, 66-18. By handing Wilton a 44-18 defeat and Mus- catine a 26-21 licking, they won the right to go to the sectional meet at Fairfield. Here, displaying the best form of the season, they easily romped over Burlington and Iowa City to earn their way to the finals. At this point, the march to the championship was very nearly wrecked by a group of lads from Parnell, a town of but 286 inhabitants. Only by a sensational rally led by “Krummy” in the closing minutes did the Davenporters secure victory. In the first game at the State Finals at Iowa City, Davenport met Ottumwa, Little Six Champions and 1928 State Champs. After four quarters and an overtime period of fighting up and down the Uni- versity floor, Davenport upset the dope to win, 23-21, on a great shot by Leo Golden, back guard. In the next game the locals were pitted against East High of Sioux City. For the second successive time Davenport was the underdog and for the second successive time came through to victory. The defeat was the first in 35 games for Ottumwa and the first in 20 games for East High. On the night of March 23 at the mammoth Iowa Field House, Davenport met Roosevelt High of Des Moines for the State Championship. Hundreds of the Red and Blue fans in the gallery were silent the first half as they watched their team outscored, but during the final period these same fans went wild with joy as the home team rallied to win the game and the State Championship. 88 TRACK TRACK SQUAD Captain Frank Hemping Earl Auppcrlc William Boctgcr Harris Boostrom Rudolph Boltc Peggy Briga Chester Brandt Herman Beckman Ernest Briggs Charles Bendixen Harold Bruckmann John Bornholdt John Carver Allan Carlson Blaine Cline George Codd Donald Conklin Robert Carlson Loyd Douglas Ray Engel Lawton Engclhart Marvin Epp Frank Folwcll Chandler Fleming Donald Fleming Ralph Fowler Frederick Gottschalk Ralph Graham Arthur Grandinetti Boyd Gilmour Raymond Hamann Paul Hanson William Hawkins Paul Hetzel Charles High Harold Irwin Allen Ihms Jacob Jcpscn John Jcpscn John Jones Raymond Judd John Kinnemann Gucldncr Krumbholz Fred Kunkcl William Kruse Chaunccy Karstens Robert Loufek Francis Layden George Loufek Edward Loufek Hal Lindfelt Edwin Littig Thomas Morrell Russell Marks Murray Martin Dalton Mcscchcr Bertram Metcalf Lyle Nicklc Gerald Preston Arthur Plambeck Edward Peacock Paul Pumplin James Placatka Elmer Rogers John Rogers Frank Reiman Raymond Spore Francis Scherer Lee Schneider Howard Siegel Kenneth Shunk Edward Schumann Donald Smiley Arthur Sunderbruch Emmett Sickles Walter Schwank Reuben Wellington Roger Wolfe Charles Wilhelm Emory West William West Willard West John Winter Herschcl Whitebook Howard Zuber RACK athletics during the spring of 1929 enjoyed a prominent place in the school's activities. Although the Red and Blue started the season with only six lettermen, Coach Jesse E. Day turned out a well-balanced team. On April 6, Davenport journeyed to Iowa City for the Iowa University Indoor Invitational Meet. The small Davenport aggregation, which had only a few weeks training on the cinder path, was out- classed by the large Chicago schools. The final tabulation of the points made by the 50 schools showed that Oak Park of Chicago easily copped the meet, while Davenport scored but three points. The following week the Davenport group of tracksters crossed the river to Augustana for the Augustana Invitational Meet. Moline succeeded in winning the meet with 37 points, while Davenport placed second with 24, and Rock Island third with 22. Although the indoor season proved almost a complete failure, the spiked shoe artists later redeemed themselves in the outdoor meets. On April 20, Davenport opened the outdoor season in a dual meet with Clinton. Through sixteen events, the two schools battled for honors with the lead changing hands at the end of each event. Final- ly, only the mile relay was left on the score card with 68 points chalked up for each team. However, Old Man Hard Luck fell upon the Red and Blue baton-passers, giving Clinton the event and the meet. The following week a bunch of determined Red and Blue lads met Moline in a dual meet, over- powered the Maroons, and swept to an overwhelming victory. Chan Fleming opened the performance by winning both the 50 and 100, Rogers took the 220, while Hemping and Preston romped to victory in the hurdles. Boostrom came through to win the half mile as Bob Loufek and Engel took the discus and shot put. To add a finishing touch, the two Davenport teams left their rivals far behind in the half mile and mile relay. On May 5, Davenport journeyed to Clinton for the Annual Gateway Classic. Although 42 schools competed in the event, the Red and Blue lads finished second to Washington High of Cedar Rapids. In the individual events, Kinnemann tied for first in the high jump, Preston and Krumbholz took sec- ond and fourth respectively in the high hurdles, while Hemping placed second in the low hurdles. In the field events Ray Engel placed second in the shot put, and Bob Loufek took third in the dicus. The half mile relay team, composed of Wellington, G. Loufek, Fleming, and Rogers, was nosed out of first place in a sensational finish by Washington High of Cedar Rapids. By the same kind of finish, the mile relay, composed of Spore, Carver, Engelhart, and Hemping, was beaten out by Washington High and Clinton. Coach Jesse Day took twelve of his men back to his Alma Mater on May 12 for the Annual Grinnell Interscholastic Meet. Again, the Davenport cinder path artists battled with Washington High of Cedar Rapids, and again they were nosed out by a small margin. Washington High finished with 23 points, only two and a half points ahead of the Red and Blue, while Newton succeeded in taking Davenport into camp by a margin of one and a half points. Captain Hemping, Preston, Bob Loufek, Kinnemann, and Wellington, were high scorers for Davenport. In an afternoon filled with thrills, Davenport succeeded in capturing the State District Meet for the fourth successive time. Although Jimmy Ough of Clinton was the outstanding athlete, Captain Hemping and his well-balanced aggregation came through to win the meet. In the early events it looked as if Davenport was due to be upset by its old and ancient rival from up the river, Clinton. However, Fleming won the century, Hemping annexed the hurdle championship, Loufek copped the dis- cus, Carver took the quarter mile, and Wellington won the javelin to nose out the Red and Black of Clinton by a 70 to 63 5 6 score. In the State Finals at Ames, Davenport scored three points through the efforts of the mile relay team. Mason City won the meet, Newton and Washington High finishing second and third. On June 1 at the Davenport field, the spiked shoe artists closed the season with the Quad City Outdoor Meet. Davenport finished first, Moline second, and Rock Island third.

Our teams won the Iowa Nine Championship in debate and made an excellent showing in the State League and other debates. The Championship'Over'All trophy for all the contests of the year was won by D. H. S. contestants for the fourth consecutive year. Twenty four students, or more than one third of those civ rolled in the course, took part in the Interscholastic Extemporaneous Speaking contests. This fact emphasizes one of the chief aims of the course—to give as many students as the standard of work per- mits an opportunity to speak before an audience. The year in forscnics has been highly successful. A. E. Keiber.

NEGATIVE George Steele Robert Kramer Kenneth Ristau (Leader) 97 THE FORENSIC YEAR ETTING a slow start in declamatory work, the Keiberites warmed up to their task, and at V the close of the forsenic season were once again in possession of the Iowa Nine Championship. In a dual meet held December 3, Rock Island took the measure of the D. H. S. teams. The first half of the meet, held in Rock Island, turned out to be a 43-20 beating, Grant Barber, Ken' neth Ristau, and Lyell Williams taking fourth, fifth, and sixth places respectively. In the evening, Rock Island went home with the bad end of a 28' 35 score, but the margin piled up in the afternoon made her the winner, 71 -55. On December 6, Davenport wallopped Muscatine in an oratorical contest, 73-35. George Steele, Nellc Traer, Charles Rundquist, and LcRoy Orendorf copped the first four places in the order named. Four days later, a team composed of Don Carmody, Paul Ziffren, Hugh Chance, and Clemmet Cur- nan were lucky to win a close contest at the Pearl City. For the first time in many years, Davenport took the short end of a dual meet with Geneseo. The first three places went to Geneseo, Victor Ganzer, Hubert Rundquist, and Victor Vicths finishing in that order. In the evening contest, held December 12, Ronald Lorenzon tied for second place. Grant Barber and Walter Kroeger took fourth and fifth places. Davenport went into a tie for last place in Iowa Nine rankings when Keith Parsons took fourth place in the oratorical section, Walter Kroeger, eighth in the dramatic contest, and Grant Barber, fifth, in the humorous section. The Iowa Nine debating season was very successful for Davenport, as the Keiberites did not lose a contest. The affirmative was ably upheld by Charles Farber. Paul Ziffren, and Keith Parsons, leader. The negative side was taken care of by George Steele, Robert Kramer, and Kenneth Ristau. Another set of teams, known as the B teams, were composed of Clemmet Curnan, Hugh Chance, and Paul Ziffren, leader, of the affirmative, and Woodrow Claussen, Lyell Williams, and Kenneth Ristau, leader of the negative. The state meet went three rounds before the negative tasted defeat at Newton, which automatically eliminated Davenport's hopes. This team consisted of Kenneth Ristau and Keith Par- sons, leader. In the extemporaneous contests, the boys were revenged for the disasters suffered in the earlier part of the season. Geneseo was visited by George Steele, Neuman Kerndt, Walter Schwank, and Clemmet Curnan. Steele and Kerndt took first and second, and Schwank and Curnan finished fourth and fifth. When Geneseo came to Davenport, the result was a tie, but Davenport took the dual, 90 126. Rock Island was the victim on April 24, a team of five fellows bringing home the best end of a 98Y 7 score. Keith Parsons copped first, Don Carmody, second, Paul Ziffren, third, Clifford Perron, seventh, and Ronald Lorenzen, ninth. In the second contest. Rock Island fared little better. Kenneth Ristau was awarded first, and Victor Veiths and Charles Rundquist, third and fourth places, respective' ly. Richard Kurtz and Willard Court took seventh and ninth places. The third contest was with Iowa City, in which Davenport was defeated 99-135. Robert Kramer made second place, Charles Farber, sixth, and Bensch, eighth. Woodrow Claussen and James Eggcr tied for ninth, and Harvey Noel made eleventh. Davenport entertained the Iowa Nine coaches in their annual meeting on April 26. In the evening of that date, the Iowa Nine Extemporaneous Contest came off. Kenneth Ristau took first place and was awarded the gold medal. As a result of the good work done throughout the year, the Iowa Nine Championship plaque hangs on the wall in the High School corridor. The girls' declamatory contests for the Iowa Nine Association were held at the High School in Iowa City on February 14. Owing to the new ruling of the association, there were three representatives from each school in- stead of one as in previous years. The representatives were classed according to their selection— either dramatic, humorous, or oratorical. Davenport's selections were unusually g xxl. The dramatic representative, Dorothy Tank, with Seventh Heaven by Austin Strong succeeded in winning second place. Leah Heilman, whose oration was Voltaire by Victor Hugo, received honorable mention. Elizabeth Keatley, who gave “Bab, was the humorous representative. —— 98 Col. Emory S. West. i AT uumumUf The R. O. T. C. students will be our best citizens in a few years. They are a line lot of boys! HE R. O. T. C. Unit of the Davenport High School has been organized ten years. That students and patrons of this schtx)l have lost none of their interest and enthusiasm for military training is proved by the fact that more students enrolled for R. O. T. C. work last semester than at any other time since its organization in 1919. 360 is the total authorized by the War De- partment, and the quota is full each semester. 99 THE COLORS Corporal Ellwyn Jones Color Sergeant Elmer Reed Color Sergeant Robert Sass Corporal Gerald Preston -Jrw —-- 100 THE STAFF Captain Ernest Zimmerman, Supply Officer Sergeant Major Keith Parsons Major Robert Loufek Captain Chaunccy Karstens, Range Officer Supply Sergeant Walter Kroegcr Second Lieutenant Richard Shoemaker, Pcrsoncl Officer Captain Ralph Fowler, Adjutant First Lieutenant Austin Bowman, Publicity Officer Supply Sergeant Alvin Ruefer 101 COMPANY A Captain............................. 1st Lieutenant...................... 2nd Lieutenant......................

O. T. C. YEAR N ALL respects, save one, the R. O. T. C. had a successful year. The old jinx, inattention, was present in full force to mar an otherwise spotless record. In the fall the cadets put in some snappy drilling in preparation for the Armistice Day parade. Led by Range Officer William Walsmith, in the absence of Major Loufck who was resting for the football game, the fellows aroused city-wide admiration. The class room work was then taken up. While the first and second year men studied the fundamentals under Sergeants Larson and Carpenter, the seniors went into the mysteries of map reading and combat principles, under Colonel West's direction. On May 16, Colonel A. B. Dockery, who is in charge of the R. O. T. C. in the Seventh Corp Area, inspected the unit. Inattention was the only fault the critical eye of the inspector was able to find. The annual competitive drill was held at Vander Veer Park on May 28. Cadet Captain Emory S. West, Jr., was judged the best captain and Company D, which he commanded, the best drilled company. The first platoon of Company E, led by Harry McMillen, and the first platoon of Company F, led by Don Carmody, tied for the position of best platoon. On May 30, Memorial Day, the unit made its final public appearance of the season. Headed by the band, the unit formed at the High School and joined the parade at the court house. ORGANIZATIONS ’HE Dramatic Club activities have been as interest- ing as usual. Most of our efforts have been expended in developing new material. Louise K.

Ramser Boys' Work Secretary, Davenport Y. M. C. A. HI-Y ACTIVITIES As in other years the Hi-Y Club took its place this year as one of the leading student organizations boosting the interests of D. H. S. Hi'Y was very much in evidence promoting many activities of the school and community. Bob Loufek was the president of the club during the fall semester, and it was during this time that the club was host to over three hundred boys who came to Davenport to attend the Eastern Iowa Older Boys Conference. The principal sessions, under the leadership of noted educators, were held at the High School during the Thanksgiving recess. The club also entertained at two Tri-City meetings, the last one in April bringing together eighty members of the three clubs. As usual during the football season the club sponsored pep parades and other activities to stimulate interest in high school football. The club membership has been changed so that the active membership is limited to thirty men. At the end of school the club will sponsor a high school camping period, the first of its kind in Davenport. 1929 113 STUDENT CLUB Erna Arzbcrgcr Eleanor Atkinson Aurelia Atkinson Elizabeth Atkinson Lois Brenton Elizabeth Baker Mary Barry Loretta Bachnk Norma Bell Helen Jean Brandt Marie Brown Edith Benson Irene Blankcnburg Emma Bchnkc Nclda Beck Henrietta Bonncll Gladys Blackman Katryn Bchnkc Pauline Barton Dorothea Bertram Helen Clark Dorothy Codd Lcatinc Crawford Mabel Coate Roberta Cooper Lila Cabel Jean Drcschlcr Eloisc Darling Phyllis Durnin Mary Virginia Evans Esther Ely Evelyn Engle Ruth Ellis Harriet Fries Catherine Fries Vera Farrell Marion Grcll Helen Groth Manzella Groth Norccn Gansworth Marjorie Cillam Ida Mac Hctzler Florence Holmgren Helen Holmgren Geraldine Haney Betty Janet Hill Edna Hamilton Leah Heilman Alice Holton Fern Hileman MEMBERS Ellen Hansen Dorothy Hinrichscn Elsie Hamilton Margaret Herzberg Verna Hasenmillcr Vera Hurlbut Elizabeth Herrick Grace Handl Emily Laura Ireland Elsie Jorgensen Luella Jones Edna Jess Grace Jones Helen Johnson Romana Junge Margaret Josingcr Frieda Jones Elizabeth Johnson Josephine Kreiter Helen King Theda Kreiter Jane Kirk Anita Kruse Margaret Lynn Mildred Lemburg Ruth Lundh Irene Lange Helen Lawton Louise McNcal Marian Mohr Edith Murphy Frances Minard Buclah Martin Esther Moffit Dorothy Mohl Eva Moffit Alice Nielsen Dorothea Plambcck Frances Pottorff Elsie Phillips Margaret Pyle Mildred Paustian Ruth Petersen Lenora Purdy Mardcll Pcnnock Marie Petersen Anna Placatka Ella Pavlovic Edith Rocskc Estella Strohbeen Ethel Strueben Margaret Stanley June Swain Bessie Schroedcr Ruth Stoflet Ollic Sidney Roberta Lemmon Esther Swanson Helen Schroder June Strohmeier Verna Stcckcl Byrdicc Tams Bernetta Thoensen Hazel Tadlock Marian Thede Viola Taylor Helen Tclsrow Dorothy Underdonk Elta Waage Mary Warren Floy Wooldridge Dorothy Wagner Hazel Wadsworth Ruth Wegner 92o 114 OFFICERS President .......................................Ollic Sidney Vice-President ............................Florence Holmgren Secretary ...........................................Margaret Herzberg Treasurer ...............................................Helen Schroder Davenport Y.

H. Ringstrom MEMBERS The D. H. S. Stamp Club was organized in the spring of 1927, with Eugene Hoeftman as the president, and under the very able supervision of Mr. N. H. Ringstrom, a member of the D. S. C. C. Each new semester has seen another president, but Mr. Ringstrom still aids the boys with his rich experience in the philatelistic field. Much of the success is due to this able gentleman, and the members take this opportunity of expressing their gratitude. The club has had three annual exhibitions of their collections to which the school is invited. It has also entered the last two Hobby Shows, held at the Y. M. C. A. and taken all the ribbons and prizes offered. Individual members have also been very successful. Recently the club put on an entertainment for the Daubers Club which was very well received. From time to time it has held stamp auctions at its meetings. The Stamp Club is the answer to the High Schcx l Philatelist's prayer. Not only has it been the means of helping many youthful stamp collectors, but it has also interested several members of the faculty. May the following semesters see the club keep up its good work, and may many more stamp “bugs come to D. H. S.

Harry Lundvall leaves his brilliance in physiography to Mr. Money. Lorene Kostcr leaves her sole third period class to Walt Baker. Martha Offerman wills her rides in Tolly's Ford to anyone who will be seen in it. Henrietta Bonnell leaves her E records to Mar- garet Jossingcr. George Loufek relinquishes all claims to his brunette to Chauncy Karstens. ONCE UPON A TIME — a great man said—“There can never be compulsory nation' wide education. The majority of the masses will always remain illiterate- suppressed—wanting little but food and a roof.” TODAY — throughout the United States, youth is being educated. And with education comes the demand for the better things of life—more comforts—more luxury More Fash' ion—More Service. THERE WAS ONCE A STORE — two stores, in fact! Both small, both unpretentious, both supplying the humble needs of everyday life for simple living people. BUT — one saving feature these two stores, gifted with judicious foresight have kept abreast of the times. Have merged their identities . . . suited their stocks . . . rebuilt . . . eiv larged ... to the end that they might give worthy and complete Service to a modern, all'demanding, Service' requiring community. TO THE BLACKHAWK, THEN— the publication of Davenport's youth of today the symbol of their progressiveness of tomorrow we offer our Service .... and extend our support.

And last but not least, we wish to leave our grati- tude and respect to that kindly gentleman who so care- fully guided us through High School, who helped us out of our troubles with a sympathetic understanding, Mr. George Edward Marshall! The foregoing instrument consisting of these pages was on this day of our Lord, the seventh day of June, nineteen hundred and twenty-nine, signed and sealed and henceforth to be known as the last will and testa- ment of the class of nineteen hundred and twenty-nine A. D. in the presence of us, who by request did sign our names as witnesses thereof: Doris Willits Charles Rundquist Helen Jean Brandt John E. Gorham Hertha Wcndland Neuman Kerndt, Chairman. SPESHUL NOTISS! Chuck Irwin and Mr. Bickford will settle the argu- ment as to their supremacy in golf. Much of the alge- bra period was given to this subject, but the question was not settled. An adding machine will be on hand to record the score. Two-bits on Mr. Bickford, say we. Doc Pricss has been taking up efficiency work. I guess. By the looks of the upholstering upon his upper appendage wherein is contained the mechanical apparatus for thinking, we may conclude that he was cutting down his overhead expense. Here's a job for Sherlock Holmes: Some egg threw another of his kind in Study Room A (so it was rumored.) A hand-crocheted fountain pen is offered for his (or her) apprehension and arrest. Your Mother, and All Mothers, know that this is the best flour for all baking purposes. It is guaranteed to give satisfactory baking results or your money back, plus ten per cent.

MOLINE. ILLINOIS 150 CO-OPERATION N the wall of a nearby institution is written the motto, “Co operation means, ‘Meetcha half way'! In publishing a book of this sort, it is necessary for the editor to meet a good many people halfway. However, if some do not come their full half, it falls upon the editor to complete their course. But an editor, like anyone else, is human and can go only so far. According to the rule of passing the buck, persons outside the staff must then do a bit more than cooperate. In this case those persons were the office force, who take care of such matters as attendance; my sister and father who helped with the art work; the engravers, who did some rush work in order that the engravings might be in the printer's hands in time for him to get out the book; and last, Wagners, who worked many hours overtime that The Blackhawk might be delivered to you on June 13. To all these persons, without whose aid the 1929 Blackhawk would have been an impossibility, I express my thanks. Austin Bowman, Editor. “To err is human.
