IP IRO ILO GU IE THO many days when assignments were cruel You wished you could leave and forget the old school. It's pretty nice to have some souvenir Of what you've done in a whole school year; Of your teachers and classmates and clubs and things And the old school grounds. And memory clings To the days when school'work wasn't so bad And certain things happened that made you glad. So here we've bound relics—not a few- - That you'll want to keep to grow old with you. And maybe in some far-off day You'll get this out and smile and say, Look, here's Bill, and Ruth. Remember them?” And maybe you'll laugh at this yearbook then. And maybe you won't. But anyhow We hope you like and enjoy it now. ID IE ID II CAT ION TO THE FAMOUS SONS AND DAUGHTERS OF IOWA THIS 1930 Blackhawk is dedv cated to the Famous Sons and Daughters of Iowa, those who are living and those who have passed into the great beyond.

Following the example set by their basketball brothers, however, the well-balanced football team, which Coaches Day and Bridge assembled, ran wild over all state opposition to win the title. Davenport scored just ten times as many points «is did her opponents, 141 to 14. With one of the hardest schedules ever faced by an Iowa mentor. Coach Day, with seven lettermen as a nucleus, built up a team which made such a wonderful record that their right to the championship was never disputed. Their record is unique in The Blacl{hawl( 1930 Yearbook that the defeats which Davenport administered State opponents were the first which each suffered. The first game of the season was with the East Waterloo squad which the year before had trimmed Davenport, 2 to 0. Engel's gang was out for revenge, which fact is best shown by the lop-sided score. This score might easily have attained greater proportions had not Coach Day preferred to use his substitutes. He used three full teams in the last part of the game with all seeming to function in a satisfactory manner. The next battle was at night with Burlington. In this game Davenport was the underdog, as Burlington had already won two tough games. The Red and Blue grid- ders, however, started with a bang and were ahead at the half, 16 to 0, with Krumb- holz accounting for ten of the points. Content with this lead over the down-river boys, Davenport cased up and allowed the game to end with no further scoring. North High of Des Moines was the next team in the path of the onrushing Hill- toppers. The capital boys were finally beaten but not until they had thrown a good scare into Davenport. They had a very fine offense which was centered around the strongest off-tackle smashes seen all year. Davenport was leading 13 to 0 in the last quarter when a pass tossed by Rogers was intercepted for a touchdown. So far Davenport's aim had been to defeat all her conquerors of the previous year. One of these. East Waterloo, had already been downed, and the other. Grant High of Cedar Rapids, was next. In this game, as in that of East Waterloo, frequent substitutions kept the score low. Moline, led by Captain “Casey” Straw, ran Davenport ragged and, consequently, was the first and last team to defeat the Red and Blue. The Davenporters appeared dead in the first half and were able neither to stop the bullet-like thrusts of Straw nor to show any offensive power. In the last half, however, they were up on their toes and played rings around the Maroons, scoring one touchdown and coming close on two other occasions. One field goal was missed by a narrow margin. With two weeks in which to rest up from the Moline game, Davenport showed a complete reversal of form on Armistice Day and severely trounced the up-river rivals, Clinton, in the holiday classic. Out for revenge over the Red and Black for the scoreless tie in 1928, the Daymen literally ran their rivals off the gridiron. Their eyes now on the State title, the Davenporters next took a jaunt up to Dubuque to meet the undefeated team from that city. With everyone on the job, however, the future champs did not encounter much opposition and easily came home with the bacon. With only Iowa City between them and the championship, the Red and Blue gridders showed their customary drive and gained the upper hand early in the contest, due largely to the outstanding work of Layden in carrying the ball, Krumbholz in smothering Mathes, the star end, and the team as a whole in stopping Moftitt, star back. Jerry Preston also stood out in this game for intercepting passes. The Daymen led 10 to 0 at the half and increased the margin to 16 before the final whistle blew. Not content with first in the State and last in the Tri-City race, the Davenporters entered the final contest with Rock Island on Thanksgiving Day, possessed with the will to win. In the driving snow, which slowed the play up considerably, they easily came out on the long end of a 13 to 0 score. Coach Day may well be proud of this record! 1930 Yearbook The Blacl(hawl( • ...... = Davenport’s 1929'1930 basketball team set a better record than the State Champ' ions of last year. With six lettermen back from the year before, they won a second State Championship, being undefeated all year by Iowa teams. By winning the Mississippi Valley Conference and Tri'City Championship they made it a perfect year. While a measure of good fortune has aided us, still no one should overlook the hours of hard work and practice which made this team fit to fight through and win all these titles. A willingness to sacrifice for the team and each man doing his best spell their success. As you look at their pictures, remember these boys didn't develop over night. Their success came after several years of practice, starting first as a lowly substitute. With many fine records behind us and our new gymnasium to look ahead to, basketball teams at Davenport High should continue to maintain our record for sportsmanship even though we must accept defeat along with our many victories.

This team climaxed its fine work of winning the Mississippi Valley and the Tri-City championships by going through the district and sectional tourna- ments undefeated, as well as conquering Newton in the finals at Des Moines to win the State championship for the second time in as many years. This is the first .time any school ever won two State titles, not to mention their being in succession. In the opening game at Iowa City in which Davenport was decidedly the under- dog, the starting line-up consisted of rather a make-shift bunch with Captain Krumb- holz and Seitz forwards, Boetger, center, and Nickle, who had been shifted from a forward post, and Kunkel, guards. However, the Red and Blue came out on the long end of a 35-9 score. In the next encounter, against Dubuque, whose team was picked to win the championship, the Hilltoppers were again the underdogs but came out of the fray victors by 24-22. From then on the Davenporters were always favorites in the valley circuit and justified the faith shown in them by winning the championship without another dif- ficult struggle, although the loss of Boetger at mid-year was a hard blow to the team. In the Tri-City race, however, there was more competition, as all four games were close, with Moline winning once. This one defeat marred an otherwise per- fect record and stopped a successful streak of nineteen games. This race also went to Davenport as Moline was beaten twice by Rock Island. To open the new gymnasium, the Red and Blue played Ottumwa, 1928 champions and victims of Davenport in the 1929 finals. In this struggle, which Dav- enport won easily by the score 26-17, Captain Krumbholz played one of the best games of his career. While he only hung up six points in the scoring column, his passing was almost perfect, and his all-round floor game was brilliant. In tournament play Davenport romped over Lyons and Muscatine in the sectional, Columbus Junction, Centerville, and Ottumwa in the district, and Fort Dodge and Atlantic without much trouble, but had a hard time to defeat Henderson in the semi- finals. The final game was judged by all one of the best defensive games ever played by two Iowa high schools. The score was 4-0 in favor of Newton at the end of the first quarter, but Kunklc got “hot” in the next quarter and the score was tied, 4-4, at the intermission. From then on Davenport forged ahead and was leading, 16-11, as the gun sounded. Of the first team Krumbholz will be the only one lost this June, but Preston and Nickle, along with Francy, a substitute, will leave next January. Captain-elect Kunkle and Layden, the other two regulars, will be back for the full year, as will Riepe and Wichelman, substitutes. Seitz and Ditzen, who alternated with Layden and Preston, will be lost by graduation also. Coach Moon looks back with satisfaction over another fine record.

This fact was proved by the first two frays, in the one of which, the Mississippi Valley, the Davenporters won easily, but in the other, the University of Iowa Indoor, they t x� k only five points. Next on the program was the outdoor dual meet with Muscatine. In this contest Davenport upset the dope bucket by scoring a smashing victory, 93-48. The outstand- ing event of that afternoon was the surprise triumph of Wellington over Saxton in the 440 yard dash. To do this feat, however. Bus equalled the track record of 53.2 seconds set by Albee of Muscatine in 1927. The following Saturday Captain Rogers and his mates went across the river to Moline for another dual. This was the best meet of the season. Davenport was lead- ing by 15 points with only the broad jump, javelin, and half-mile relay yet to come off; Moline, however, took a slam in both the individual events to gain a three-point lead. By a special agreement each school was to enter two teams with the points scored on a 5-3-1 basis. Coach Day split his two teams evenly and took first and second to win 74-70. The seniors won the Class Meet, 97-63-17, with the juniors and sophomores sec- ond and third respectively. However, Wellington, Rogers, Fleming, Layden, Scherer, Epp, and Jones were at the Drake relays and could not compete. At Drake the 440 yard relay team won, setting a new record of 44.5 seconds. This team was composed of Scherer, Fleming, Rogers, and Wellington. This same quartet with the exception of Layden for Scherer, captured fourth place in the 880 yard relay. The following Saturday at Clinton, Davenport, though getting only fourth place, was but two and one-half points behind Maywood, the winner. Of the twelve records broken, the Red and Blue accounted for only one, the time of 1:33.2 set by the half- mile relay team. Wellington led the Davenport scoring as usual. On Wednesday, May 7, Rock Island was overwhelmed in an uninteresting con- test, 94-42. The leading scorer was King Edwards, famous Island athlete, who ac- counted for half of his team's total. Scherer won all three sprints for second honors. With Wellington, Layden, Ditzen, and the relay again counting heavily. Coach Day's boys took second place at Grinnell with 25 1 6 points. Because of the track conditions only one record was broken, but this was accomplished by the Red and Blue half-mile team, making three successive Saturdays that a Davenport relay team broke a meet record. The Blacl{hawJ( 1930 Yearbook As a convincing proof to the theory that Coach Day always turns out well bah anced track teams, nineteen out of the twenty fellows who participated in the District Meet placed, giving Davenport 78 points, or nearly 30 more than Muscatine, her clos- est competitor. Led by Wellington and Layden, the Hilltoppers scored in every event except the broad-jump. Besides winning the team trophy, and both re- lay honors, the Red and Blue has received 12 other awards, a record of which no other school in the State is able to boast. The Davcnporters did not come up to expectations in the State Meet, taking only 11 points for sixth place. Mike Layden t x k seven of these besides running on the half'mile relay team which made three more. The home team performed well in the Tri-City and Iowa Invitational Meets.

One of the unusual features of the past year was that for the first time in ten years two girls were on the debating team. The forensic activities opened with declamatory contests in the fall and winter months. On November 26, Gcncsco received the better end of a dual meet with Davenport by a score of 57-71. Rock Island, also, on December 2, won the victory in a dual meet by 103-115. On December 4, Davenport beat Moline in the first half of a dual contest by 31-35: however, Moline avenged herself the next day by a 37-26 score. In an oratorical contest held on December 9 with Iowa City Davenport won by the large margin of 41-67. In a contest with Muscatine on December 17 the result was defeat by a close score of 9-12: but on January 8, the boys more than paid back Muscatine in an oratorical contest by a score of 37-71. Members of the declamatory team this year were: Robert Kramer, Paul ZifFren, Ronald Lorenzen, Charles Farber, Radford Henke. Hubert Rundquist, Clement Curnan, Earl Henley. Katharine Keibcr, Richard Kurts, Nellie Stiglitz, Lycll Williams, Ray Lillcnburg, Harry Kodar, Victor Vicths, Edward Christiansen, Lester Fisher. Delbert Bcnsch. Clifford Perron. Don Car- mody, Brice Johnson, and Woodrow Claussen. In the Iowa Nine Boys' Declamatory contest held at Fairfield on December 13, Robert Kramer won second place in the humorous group. Charles Farber took seventh place in oratory, and Ronald Lorenzen, sixth, in the dramatic class. The debating schedule was a heavy one. Twenty-one inter-scholastic debates were engaged in by the debating teams. A majority of these debates were victories. Although the State team had bad luck with Muscatine which put Davenport out of the running in the State, nevertheless the teams warmed up to their job and succeeded in winning the debate cup for the second successive year as champion debaters among the Iowa Nine schools. In the Iowa Nine final debates, Davenport, Burlington, and Oskaloosa each won and lost one debate, so the decision had to be decided on the percentage basis, which made Davenport the winner. The State team affirmative was upheld by Lyell Williams and Paul Ziffren, leader, and the negative by Clement Curnan and Robert Kramer, leader. The Iowa Nine affirmative team con- sisted of Lycll Williams, Charles Katz, and Paul Ziffren. leader, and the negative team of Katharine Keibcr, Nellie Stiglitz. and Robert Kramer, leader. Another set of Iowa Nine teams was upheld on the affirmative by Earl Henley, Charles Farber, and Lycll Williams, leader, and on the negative by Katharine Keibcr, Woodrow Claussen. and Clement Curnan, leader. A series of dual debates with schools in Illinois on the Big Nine question brought more victories than defeats. The teams taking part in these debates were upheld on the affirmative by Brice Johnson, Harry Kotlar, and Paul Ziffren, leader, and on the negative by John Hawkinson, Clifford Perron, and Robert Kramer, leader. Paul Ziffren won first place in the district contest in oratory on the Constitution held at Iowa City on April 3. As a result of this victory he went to the State finals at Drake University on April 17. where he received second place. He also took second place in the extemporaneous speaking contest in the southeastern district of Iowa. Robert Kramer, Davenport's representative in the Iowa Nine extemporaneous speaking con- test held at Oskaloosa on April 18, took second place with his topic. “The London Conference. A number of extemporaneous contests were held with Gcncsco, Rock Island, and Iowa City in which Davenport carried off the honors, getting revenge for some defeats in declamatory contests. Members of the extemporaneous team were: Paul Ziffren, Robert Kramer, Lycll Williams, Clement Curnan, Clifford Perron, Richard Kurtz, Lester Fisher, Katharine Keibcr, Charles Farber. Nellie Stiglitz, Kermit Schroder, Brice Johnson, John Hawkinson. Ronald Lorenzen, Charles Katz, Edward Christiansen, Delbert Bcnsch, Harry Kotlar, and Earl Henley. As a result of this year's efforts, Davenport won the Iowa Nine championship plaque for the highest ranking among the Iowa Nine schools in all fields of forensic competition. The Blacl{hawl{ 1930 Yearbook SIX years of duly as Professor of Military Science and Tactics at the Davenport High School has qualified me to appraise the loyalty and patriotism of the citizens of this community, and I am glad to state that, in my opinion, no city of its size could be more satisfactory in this respect. Almost without exception, the citizens of Davenport give, at least, their moral support to the department of military training at this institution. The Board of Education, the teaching staff, the American Legion, Veterans of Foreign Wars, the churches, the Chamber of Commerce, all civic clubs, and patriotic organizations give their full measure of support to the Reserve Officers Training Corps. The R. O. T. C. has been established at this school for eleven years, and the fact that nearly four hundred students voluntarily enroll each year in this department is ample evidence that the patrons of the Davenport High School appreciate the value of this training which was provided for by the National Defense Act. With the new and added facilities for both indoor and outd x r instruction, civ rollment in the R. O. T. C. should be greater next year than at any time since the establishment of this unit.

CL YEAR The Davenport Unit of R. O. T. C. has passed through another inspirational year, every phase of military training having been studied. School of the soldier, squad, platoon, company, and battalion have been covered most thoroughly while at the same time many days of intensive drill have been spent. Armistice Day, November 11, found the local unit one of the finest in the line of march in the annual parade. On the evening of that same day the battalion was divided into two opposing forces under the command of Cadet Major Carmody and Cadet Captain Briggs (acting Cadet Major) respectively. These forces waged a sham battle at Cram field. For their services in this mimic battle the two commanders were presented with sabers by the Davenport post of the American Legion. On May 7, Major J. H. Lindt from headquarters seventh corps area inspected the unit. Inattention was the only outstanding fault discovered by the examiner. On the evening of May 5, the twelve best drilled cadets of the battalion met at the American Legion hall for a competitive drill. Cadet Captain Raymond Drake won the contest and as a prize received a wrist watch. The greatest event of the R. O. T. C. year took place on May 27, when the battalion marched to Vandcr Veer park for the annual competitive drill. The best captain of the battalion was Cadet Captain James Tillotson, commanding Company F. The best company was Company D, commanded by Cadet Captain Raymond Drake. The best lieutenant was Gerald Preston and the best drilled platoon was the second platoon of Company D, commanded by William Day. At this time Major Ryn and the winning Cadet Captain, James Tillotson, were presented with sabers. On May 30, the battalion under the command of Major Ryn made its final pub- lic appearance in the Memorial Day parade. Here, as usual, the unit caused a great deal of favorable comment. 1930 Yearbook The Blacl{hawk • ■ —= THE outstanding dramatic activities for the year were the girls success in the “Iowa Nine, the Dramatic Club Production, “The Man who Married a Dumb Wife, and the Senior Play, “The Women's Town.

The match-making women close in upon and conquer him. The charm of the play lies in the variety and reality of its characters and was a success because of the ability of the cast to portray them accurately and to catch and transmit to the audience the gay spirit of the piece.

Ramser Boys' Work Secretary, Davenport Y. M. C. A. The school year, 1929'1930, under the presidency of John Winter, has been one of the most outstanding in the history of the Davenport HiY Club. A review of the club activities for this period reveals many bright spots, chief of which, perhaps, was the “All D. H. S. Banquet” given at Hotel Blackhawk early in the spring. This banquet was given in honor of all the students of Davenport High who have had a share in bringing laurels to the hilbtop school in athletics, forensics, music, journalism, and other branches of student life. The HiY Club again assumed leadership in creating school spirit, sponsoring many pep sessions, parades, and stunts during the year. The “Howling Hundred” of the football season assisted in the selling of tickets and in the organizing of cheer' ing sections at the big games. The activities of the club have not been confined alone to social and athletic life. The group sent a delegation to the State Older Boys' Conference in Marshalltown in November, and its president, John Winter, was named leader of the state con- vention. It was responsible also for a district rally in February, at which steps were taken to organize a cabinet to sponsor Hi Y activities in this vicinity. A number of joint meetings with other clubs were held, and during the year the members enjoyed many profitable weekly sessions. The organization has undertaken the study of voca' tions in relation to high school students and has also had a prominent part in fostering the program of world friendship among the same group. In civic affairs it has been called upon to serve on many occasions, and has responded readily.

The editor alone cannot make the hxx k a success and neither can the staff. It is in the time of a pinch that others must be called to assist. The office force, Mr. Marshall, Miss Wegner, and Mr. Keller, have all extended their scrv' ices. Miss Bissell is to be especially thanked for her many hours of real work, particularly when the printers were crowding for time. The engravers have assisted nobly by giving rush service on all plates, while Karl Wagner and Wagner's Printery have worked many hours overtime in order to get the Book out on the date set for distribution. To all these people on behalf of the Yearbook Staff I extend my most hearty thanks with the hope that they may be remembered by the class of 1930. Eugene G. Ryn, Editor. © [ 127] The Blacl{hawl( • ■ =
