Central High School - Blackhawk Yearbook (Davenport, IA)

Text from Pages 1 - 170 of the 1932 volume:

The Blackha wk Assembled and Published by the Class of 1932 of the Davenport High School Volume Number Fifteen Foreword N the following pages we have tried to give an accurate picture of the development of our school during the past twenty'five years. We hope it will serve in future years as a pleasant reminder of bygone days when we attended high school. The Staff. Prologue UR position is unique. We mark a quarter century: This book is filled with tales— With tales that tell our story; Our pictures here you too will find— Our pictures and our spirit. We wonder— Will those grads of that first class And those of intervening years, In those of '32 Find faith well kept And things well done As we have tried to do? Dedication OW proud must have been that first graduating class of D. H. S. and how fortunate they must have felt; yet we the class of '32, how much more fortunate are we, for we are the product of those twenty'five years of growth and experience, and for this favor we sincerely thank you—our school—and rejoicing with you in your Silver Anni' versary, we dedicate to you this our cherished Yearbook.

In 1854 Iowa College was founded and located here; in 1859 this college was moved elsewhere, and Griswold College pied the ground; in 1886 Kemper Hall was built for a military school. In 1858 what is now known as the High School was organised. During the next seventeen years it was moved from place to place, at one time occupying the building which is now Korn's bakery. In 1876 it moved into a new building all its own at Eighth Street and Pershing Avenue, now the Lincoln School, where it remained for thirty years. Then the necessity for providing more room for the upper grades became inv perative. The Board of Education learned that the old Griswold College property could be purchased. Negotiations were entered into with Bishop Morrison of the diocese of Iowa, and a price agreed upon, $53,000. This proposition was submitted to the voters at the regular school election in March, 1900, and also at a special election in May, and carried. The architects were F. G. Clausen and P. F. Burrows of Davenport. In 1904 the construction of the building was started. On June 19, 1905, the cornerstone was laid, which was the occasion for a large assembly of citizens, especially the school children, who were present en masse and took part in the exercises by singing several appropriate songs. The building, completed on January 14, 1907, was opened for inspection on the nineteenth and twentieth of that month, and was occupied on the twenty-first. It represented an outlay, including all furnishings and equipment, of $345,000. At that time J. B. Young was superintendent of schools, and F. L. Smart was as- sistant superintendent and principal of the High School. In 1907 Mr. Smart became superintendent and George Edward Marshall was elected as principal. Both are still serving in that capacity. When the High School started there was but one course of study of four years' length, and that was very simple. Now seven courses are offered for three years of forty weeks each, a variety sufficient to meet the wants of all students of high school age. In 1907 there were between four and five hundred enrolled; now there are one thousand eight hundred sixty-eight. There were forty in the June graduating class that year; two hundred forty-eight will take their diplomas this June. Later the building which was Kemper Hall became the Home Economics building, and soon after, the Manual Arts building was erected. Just recently, in 1930, the new gymnasium, the heating plant, and the Administration building were constructed. By moving the cafeteria into the old gymnasium extra home room space was acquired. An underground passage now connects the High School with the new gymnasium. Our present buildiing, which was constructed to accommodate 1200 pupils, in now filled beyond its capacity.

Its courses are completed, its credits arc earned, and noth- ing remains but the final good-bye. High School days now rececd into the background of memories. The accomplishments, the victories, the successes, and the failures are a part of High School history. They will never be duplicated. The world is before you. Take the best life offers you. Keep your standards high. As you leave us you go with our best wishes for your future success and happiness. Sincerely yours, George Edward Marshall. Page Fifteen THE BLACKHAWK — '32 L. E.

It is centered around the members of a New England family who arc truly “icebound.” The play begins with members of the Jordan family waiting in the parlor. Up- stairs their mother is dying, and each of her selfish children is hoping for the major share of her money. When the will is read, it is Jane, the servant, who is the bene- ficiary. The Jordans are all furious. Jane reforms Ben by making him her servant until he learns his lesson. Happiness is just ahead for both of them, as the play ends well. The committee in charge consisted of Helen Jeffries, Virginia Peterson, Dorothy Peterson, Bernice Peshinski, Herschel Whitebook, Robert Minard, Donato Petrucelli, Lois Moeller, Leopold Simon, Ward Hollingsworth, and Gertrude Heilman.

Makccvcr Page Sixty'fivc THE BLACKHAWK 3 2 YEARBOOK The football season of 1931 started off at Davenport High with only two regulars back from the previous season. As usual, there was a large turnout for the sport, and with these two regulars, several letter men, and minor letter winners, Davenport was represented at the beginning by a big and reasonably fast eleven. Two things that characterized the squad during the entire season were their courage and willingness to work toward moulding themselves into a machine worthy of representing Davenport High. With a fine display of sportsmanship and a loyal spirit of team cooperation they went through the season with seven wins and two losses. Jf.sse E. Day. Page Sixty'scven THE B L A C K H A W K 3 2 YEARBOOK George Morrissey, Center George was captain of the 1932 team. He traded about, first playing end and then as- suming the position of roving center. His ability to open up holes on both offense and de- fense and to stop line plunges made him an outstanding player throughout the season. By kick- ing goals after touchdowns his toe added many points to the score of the team. His wonder- ful spirit and friendliness made him a popular leader. Arthur Collins. Fullback Art, though a sophomore, was an all-round good player. He liked to play football and dem- onstrated this love many times. He was a pounding fullback, who pulled things out of the fire” when most needed. He was always an asset in backing up the line and stopping aerial attacks. Kopl VesOLE, Halfback Kopl was another of those per- sistent workers who distinguish- ed themselves as good ball toters. He was a reliable and desirable man to have on the team, ex- perienced enough to take care of the most troublesome problems. Wilbur Krgeger. Guard Here was another guard, cool, calm, and collected. He was a scrappy, hard fighting lineman who proved his worth without a doubt; an exceptionally fast charging and hard tackling guard, taking care of himself un- der all conditions. William Plambeck. Tackle They that have watched Bill play know that his work speaks for itself. It was always his de- sire to block punts, and in this art he was quite gifted, almost unsurpassed. Nevertheless, he did not excel in this art alone: his strong defensive playing marked him as a Rock of Gib- raltcr. Jack Wilkinson, Fullback Whenever called upon. Jack responded with an untiring spirit. His work was of excel- lent caliber and he showed an exorbitant amount of grit and determination. He loved to smash his way through stiff op- position; on defense his contri- bution was outstanding. Page S ix t y - e i g ht THE BLACKHAWK ‘ 3 2 YEARBOOK William Bein, Guard Bill proved to be an invalu- able asset to the team. His quick charging and his fine playing ability made him a handy man who understood the game and fitted perfectly into the football machine. George Shoemaker. End An overabundance of energy coupled with a desire and eager willingness to work made George a conspicuous player. His alert- ness. especially, substantiates any statement about his competency. He was one of the few good blockers, rarely missing his man. He was also outstanding in catching passes. William Kruse, Tackle Kruse took care of the tackle position in fine shape. There was no job too hard for him. His natural facilities enabled him to rank with the best linemen. His work was early demonstrated by stopping the opposing players before they had time to start. Richard Bowers. Halfback Speed and unusual talent formed a back of more than av- erage caliber. Like a charging streak of lightning, “Porky slashed through the line tor many long gains. Forrest Burmeister. Tackle With extraordinary skill For- rest held down the position of tackle. His fighting spirit made him a stone wall. He never hes- itated to go in and smear up plays. He was all-powerful on offense as well as on opening wide gaps in the line. His clean, hard tackling gained for him much recognition. Harry Warnken, Halfback A valuable man in every re- spect! In speed he was unsur- passed, many times entirely out- running his opponents. His quick dodging and side stepping helped to add many points to the D. H. S. score. Page Sixty ninc THE BLACK HAWK 3 2 YEARBOOK Roy Benson, Guard There was never a difficult sit- uation that Roy could not fit into it. He continually proved his worth in many a hard-fought game, blocking up holes, break- ing up the opposing interference, and many times stopping a run- ner in his tracks. Ralph Graham, Quarterback The chief value of Ralph to the team was his head work as field general. When carrying the ball, he was always good for a number of yards. This high' powered back carried the eleven through many a difficult situa- tion. Laurence Morrissey, Center If Larry had not been injured early in the season, he would have made a great center. His dauntless courage and tenacity proclaimed him a valuable man to any team. He demonstrated his power as a player on de- fense by repeatedly throwing the opposing team for losses Be- cause of this ability he was given the title of Fouryard Morris- sey. Raymond Rosene, Center At either center or guard Roscnc’s swift charging, deadly fearlessness, and unfailing tack- ling were demonstrated constant- ly during the entire season. In all departments of the game he showed that he possessed a large quantity of football sense. Harry Kotlar. Tackle The best things come in small packages. This old saying still holds true. Small but mighty. Harry made up for his lack of weight and height by his fighting spirit, his foresight, and his com- mon sense. Whenever power and brains were needed to stop beef and brawn, the “fighting Irishman was called out for de- fense. Page Seventy THE BLACKHAWK '32 YEARBOOK William Voss, Guard The team will feel Bill's loss keenly. His cheerful spirit as well as his light and zeal were prominent even during the most trying moments of the game. By his foresight and quick action he was able many times to block plays of the opposing team. When the Red and Blue carried the ball. Bill was on hand to break through the opponent's line and make holes for the backs. Herman Vesole, Halfback Vcsole's work was always steady and of decidedly good quality. The lighting spirit, the grit, and stubborn fearlessness which he showed throughout his football career proved an aid to his fine playing. His other strong points were his line block- ing and his hard tackling on de- fense. Lester Jurgens, Halfback This thrilling, slashing half- back netted many touchdowns for the team, due largely to his superb running ability. Fre- quently he made long spurts off the ends, though he was equally able to go crashing off the tack- les for long gains. His good kicking was in evidence during many of the encounters. Donald Smiley, End Few ends can boast of such a successful season. He was an outstanding player, not only do- ing good work on offense, but also proving himself a bear on defense. His speed in getting down under punts was note- worthy. At tackling he was as- tonishingly accurate. Elmer Soeder, End Elm was the lanky wingman who could snatch passes out of thin air. This rangy end exhib- ited an excellent brand of ball. He took his work seriously from the start and succeeded in catch- ing numerous difficult passes. He was always reliable and could be counted on at the critical mo- ment.

There was still much work to be done, however, before the team could be put into action, and this is exactly what Coaches Day and Bridge proceeded to do; so finally with a strong line and a fast versatile backfield constituting the team of '31, the football ship of D. H. S. once again was launched on the rough gridiron sea. Ottumwa The initial opening of the season with Ottumwa was successful. A continual sea- sawing during the first half of the game was kept up by both teams. In the following half, however, the Davenportcrs smashed their way to victory with two powerful offensive drives down the field, sweeping all opposition before them. Carman, Bowers and Jurgens handled the ball. Tilden Tech Next came the highly rated Chicago school, Tilden Tech, still smarting from its disastrous experience of the year before with the Red and Blue. After having defeated Lane Tech, city champions of '30, by a 20-0 score, victory seemed certain for the Tilden mentors. This was one of the most thrilling games ever played on the home field, partly because the Davenport eleven, although the underdogs, succeeded in trouncing their opponents, 13-7. Early in the first quarter after a powerful attack of Page Seventy'three THE BLACKHAWK i 2 YEARBOOK passes and smashes, “Porky” Bowers crossed the goal line for the first touchdown. During the next quarter, upon the 11-yard line, Jurgens went over to chalk up the other marker. The Chicagoans made their only score in the same period. An exciting and spectacular second half followed, hut neither team scored. Grahams generalship was outstanding. The work of the line and the rest of the back field was also conspicuous. Iowa City Continuing their battle for championship honors, the Davenport gridmen were able to eliminate their Iowa City foes from the race. Although this was an off day for the Red and Blue, they downed the Little Hawks by a 13-0 score. Des Moines A large crowd of excited fans watched a dynamic football game in which two strong teams battled for gridiron supremacy. They were as evenly matched as possible: but by means of a number of powerful off-tackles and plunges, the perfect coordination of the entire line and backfield, and the work of Jurgens and Collins in toting the pigskin most of the time, the Des Moines goal line was finally crossed. This was the only score throughout the game. Grant High Even though Grant High boasted a powerful eleven, October 4 seemed to have been set aside for Davenport. The ability of the latter team was exhibited throughout the game. They showed strength in running and aerial attacks. Morrissey snatched a 25 yard heave thrown by Collins; this started the scoring. Jumping high into the air, Soeder intercepted a pass and sprinted 65 yards to a touchdown. Harry Wamken's sensational 75 yard run followed, but the scoring was not finished until Stolley had also dashed across the Grantmen's line. Rock Island Headline: Davenport tramples on Rock Island” That was enough; the whole story was told. A crushing defeat before 3,400 people was administered to the Crimson foe. Immediately after the opening kickoff, a pass. Bowers to Soeder, netted the first touchdown. As the half ended, the Davenporters were at the long end of a 21 -0 count. In the next period, with good interference on a wide sweeping left end run, Warnken was able to chalk up another tally. Kroeger, Kotlar, Smiley, and Morrissey were outstanding on the line. Others who scored for the Daymen were Jurgens and Ashby. Clinton Four thousand spectators sat through a drenching downpour watching a champ game between two fighting elevens in a sea of mud. This grid victory over Clinton was the crowning event of the year. How D. H. S. likes to dwell upon that memorable day when the archenemy, the Red and Black, was overthrown! Rivalry was great; Davenport had suffered defeat the preceding year at Clinton: that defeat was the greatest upset of the season, causing the loss of the state championship. The runs of Jurgens, together with the brilliant defense of Plambeck, Burmeister, and Smiley had much to do with Davenport's victory. The score? Why 13-0, of course! Dubuque One touchdown in the first half and two touchdowns in the second seemed to be too much for the Red and Blue. On the loss of this game, the hopes of both the state championship and the Mississippi Valley title faded. A small band of loyal Daven- porters watched a game fighting team succumb to a stronger and heavier Dubuque elev- en, boasting of a halfback of far more than ordinary ability. Berwanger starred for the Key City team, making all the scores, while Morrissey, Smiley, Soeder, and Plambeck played snappy ball for the home team. Newspapermen came from ail parts of the state to see this contest, which turned out to be the prep classic of the year. Moline Disheartened by such a severe setback at Dubuque, the Davcnportmen, not at their best, lost their final game to Moline. As a result of this defeat, the Tri-City cup now belongs to the Sencffmen. Davenport's only score was a placekick made by Jurgens. On offense many thrusts were started, but they failed to materialize into scores. At times the defense of the Daymen was good; nevertheless it failed to prevent Farrell's one touchdown in the second quarter. Page Seventy'four t ii o BLACKHAWK 4 3 2 YEARBOOK Sectional and district champions and a three day trip to Des Moines for the state finals made a splendid finish for the season of 1931-32. With about twelve players of almost equal ability we tried many different com- binations during the season. Our best four games of the year were at Muscatine, where we lost to a veteran team 12-11, again when we lost to Dubuque 24-22 on our floor, and the last two games of our regular schedule. In winning these two, Moline 30-19 on their floor, and Washington (Cedar Rapids) 24-21 the following night on our floor, we looked the best we had all season. We finished second in Tri-City competition, and tied for second in the Mississippi Valley Conference with seven won and three lost. Four of our twelve letter men are seniors- Carman, Miller, Kroeger, and Gibney. Of the eight others we lose Capt. Kaufmann and Roschiau at midyear. But with Captain-elect Dick and the other five letter men plus some twenty other boys, including a very promising group of sophomores who will be fighting for places on the squad, we will hope to continue our present fine record in the season of 1932-33. In closing I can say the 1931-32 team has maintained the fine record of Davenport High School in Iowa and Tri-City basketball. Paul C. Moon. Page Seventy'}ive THE BLACKHAWK ‘ 3 2 YEARBOOK Marvin Buttbnod, Center Many accomplishments have been inscribed in the basketball memorandum under the name of Marvin Buttenob. His passes to men open under the basket and his short closcup shots which rarely missed their mark were a decided disadvantage to opposing players. Throughout the season his playing was tiptop, exhibit- ing first rate shooting form and producing results. He is plenty fast, and deserves watching next year. Vernon Carman, Guard The year 1932 marked an- other successful season for Vern. This fast, quick-thinking guard moved over the floor at a rapid pace. Last season he was part of the famous Kunklc-Garman combination. Although his leav- ing school at the end of the first semester cut short his basketball season, his brilliant defense work stood out as one of the high- lights of the earlier games. He continually thrilled the specta- tors by making long baskets which came at the most oppor- tune times. John Hayward, Forward Inasmuch as this was John's first year of playing with the regular team, he showed up re- markably well. Here was a play- er of unusual form. Follow-in shots and tip-ins from beneath the basket swished the net re- peatedly making him dangerous to any opponent. Again and again he would sink long shots with equal accuracy. We will see brilliant playing from him during future seasons. v'iWPQf Leonard Dick, Forward In weight “Skinny was de- cidedly lacking: nevertheless, he easily made up for this drawback by his skill, stamina, and fight. He was the highest scorer of the team. Throughout the whole season his noteworthy playing was greatly in evidence. Time after time he astounded the fans with his unusual form and freak scoring. Arthur Collins, Guard Speed and power were Art's chief characteristics. From al- most any part of the floor he could hit the hoop with ease. He garnered a great number of tallies for the Red and Blue. Burton Gibney, Forward Good passing and exceptional scoring anility must go down in the 1932 account for Burtic. This hard-working forward left a record which will be hard to beat. The flash and drive which he demonstrated during the many encounters in which he participated were most helpful to the Davenport five. His de- fensive work was very effective at the start of the season. Page Seventy-six THE BLACKHAWK '32 YEARBOOK Lester Jurgens, Guard The clever way in which he handled the ball together with his exceptional passing and rcli- able scoring ability made him a most important cog in the ma- chinery. On defense his cool, alert, clean guarding was diV filayed to great advantage. When ong shots were needed, Les was there to make good use of this desirable talent. Wilbur Kroecer, Guard It was with the help of Will that the D. H. S. basketcers won many of their victories. This earnest, conscientious, red head had a deadly eye for the basket, and whenever fouled could follow up with charity tosses that were the envy of his teammates. He was especially skilled in jumping and passing. Emerson Miller, Guard Butch attached many a point to the D. H. S. score be- sides adding drive and punch to the team. His speed and accu- rate eye for the basket gave him much recognition. The most outstanding feature of his play- ing was the uncanny way in which he played on defense, smothering shots that were about to go on their way to the little iron hoop. John Kaufmann, Forward When called upon Johnny performed his duty in an ex- ceedingly admirable manner. A good defensive player with a knack for throwing baskets and a hard scrappy fighter, he could be trusted to come through even under the most trying circum- stances. His brilliant playing helped Coach Moon's men through many tight places. Harry Roschlau. Forward Roschlau saw a great deal of action at the forward post. D. H. S. can well be proud of this fine player. The excellent ac- count which he gave of himself in every department of the game was extraordinary. His rare skill and fine spirit won for him well-merited praise. Roy Schiebel, Center Here was a center with a long reach and splendid jumping ca- pacity. Ray's follow-up shots helped to win many a close game. Good fighting spirit and hard work shown this season should make him a valuable man for next year's Red and Blue sharpshooters.

H. S. a quintet which consistently demonstrated its worth. This five triumphed easily in the sectional and district tournaments sweeping aside all obstacles, not stop' ping until they reached the final playoff at Des Moines. While about two thousand cheering fans looked on, Davenport opened its season against Clinton with a decided victory. Even though the D. H. S. sharpshooters looked ragged at times, they played a most effective brand of ball. Starting with a 3'0 lead at the first quarter, they were ahead by the finish of the first half. In the third quarter they succeeded in making seventeen points and holding their opponents to but one marker. Just another basketball game—but what a game! The Davenport'Muscatine con- test proved to be one of the most exciting games that Davenport played during the whole season. Whirlwind playing forged the Red and Blue ahead to a lead at the third quarter; this was increased to 11'8 by a well placed shot. It seemed as if D. H. S. was about to chalk up a second triumph. In the last few minutes of play, however, Johnny Barko, Muscatine's albstate center, dropped in two baskets to close the game Page Seventy nine THE BLACKHAWK ' 3 2 YEARBOOK with a victory for the visitors of 12 to 11. The shining lights of the Red and Blue offense were Dick, Garman, and Gibney; the excellent defense, nevertheless, of the entire team, must not be forgotten. An early lead on the part of Dubuque, which the D. H. S. cagers never over came, marked the loss of this game to the upriver team. The tenacious, fighting spirit of the latter stayed with them to the finish. After the opening of the second half good form began to manifest itself in the ranks of the Davenporters, but the lead already established by their opponents could not be upset in the final chapter. Thirty seconds to go! A thrilling performance was drawing to a close. There was a swish of the net; and ten seconds later the roar of a gun which told the whole story. Until the third quarter the game with Moline seesawed with neither side gaining an advantage of more than two points. Davenport then outscored their rivals though it was not long before several distance shots on the part of the Maroons passed through the hoop; a foul shot followed, making the score 1S'20. Moline had won the first part of a six game scries! With both hosts and visitors missing numerous chances to score the Grant High' Davenport game became an exhibition of rather poor basketball. The first quarters were very slow—made up largely of defensive playing. In the last quarter, however, the Davenporters played the brand of ball of which they were capable. A rampage of baskets began. Schiebel knocked off five points; Garman hit the net for four more, and Buttenob followed with a free throw. At the home gym the D. H. S. sharpshooters triumphed over Iowa City, making their third victory in the Valley Conference. The Davenporters were never threatened; the Little Hawks appearing helpless at the hands of the Red and Blue cagers. In their first journey to the opposite side of the river the Red and Blue were sue' cessful. At the end of the first quarter the score stood and by the time the half was finished Rock Island was at the short end of the 15'4 score. A slashing attack lead by Miller swept the Crimson and Gold off their feet. Miller was high point man with eight tallies. Rallying to score eleven points in the last quarter Washington High defeated Coach M x n's quintet after the Red and Blue had lead for three quarters. Playing was fast and furious for the first period; then both teams fought evenly until the last part when the D. H. S. defense commenced to crumble. Garman was the outstanding player on the floor. Besides playing a beautiful guarding game he lead the team with eight points. On the Davenport court, Muscatine was outplayed considerably. Everything mov' cd along in a marvelous manner. The Davenportmen seemed to be everywhere at once, continually breaking through the opposing defense and slipping in set'Up shots from under the basket. By the end of the first chapter the Red and Blue counted a 10'3 tally. In the final period seven points were chalked up against the downriver quintet. The D. H. S. basketeers began the second half of the Mississippi Valley Con' fcrence with a victory over Clinton. Starting with a small lead which became greater as the contest progressed, in a short while the Red and Blue were far in advance. Coach M x)n tried several combinations, each of which worked in perfect coordination. Substitutes continued to pile up the baskets. The Red and Black tried everything pos- sible to stem the tide but to no avail. Roschlau and Miller were the leaders of this skirmish. Dubuque's invasion of the Davenport hardwood court was successful. For the first half the Dubuquemen tallied frequently, shooting baskets from all angles. The Key City five flashed a powerful offensive drive in the fourth quarter which the Red and Blue were unable to check. With but three minutes remaining Dubuque held an eight point lead over the Red and Blue. The scrappy Davenport team, however, re' fused to give up hope and in a very short time made six markers cutting the Dubuque lead to two points. Page Eighty THE BLACKHAWK 32 YEARBOOK The Davenport cage team traveled to Cedar Rapids for the second skirmish of the season with Grant High. The last minute rally saved the day for the Red and Blue players. This flash was managed with the able assistance of Roschlau, Dick, and Miller who were responsible for the counts. Two encounters in as many nights proved too much for the Davenport five. The home men looked dead on their feet and lacked their usual snap and speed when they met Rock Island on the night of February 13. After a fast period both teams were exhausted; a complete letdown resulted. Dick was easily the outstanding man on the floor. There was never a doubt of the D. H. S. team's supremacy over Iowa City after the initial period. They scored at will against the Little Hawks and were never in danger. Tight defense on the part of both teams featured the contest. Substitutions were made freely by Coach Moon. Dick proved to be high point man scoring thirteen points; Jurgens was second with six. The battleground shifted to the Plow City where the Davenport cagcrs were out for blood. Before a large crowd the Red and Blue five made a powerful showing on offense and offered a stone wall on defense. Moline's dreams of a clean record were shattered. The visitors not only jumped into the lead on the start but stayed there until the finish. The Plowmen seemed bewildered at the brand of ball displayed by their opponents, a brand which made the latter masters throughout the tilt. The guarding of Miller and Jurgens was exceptionally outstanding. With a stunning and elaborate passing attack the Davenport sharpshooters swept through all opposition. They came up from behind to upset the Orange and Black. In the last half they outscored Washington High 8 to 5 to win the battle. Miller and Dick were the leading counters. SECTIONAL TOURNAMENT With each member of the team hitting his stride the contrast of the two con- testants, Davenport and Lyons, became too great giving Davenport High a decided lead. This resulted in the final undoing of the opposing five. Before approximately one thousand excited fans, Davenport's cage team succeeded in overshadowing the Clinton five in the final game of the Class A division of the sectional tournament. Jumping into the fray at the first quarter they overwhelmed the Red and Black 6 to 2. In the second period both teams scored an equal number of points, making the tally 10-6. In the latter part of the skirmish the Davenportmen clicked in a superb fashion piling up a comfortable lead over the up-river five. Kauf- man n starred with six baskets while Dick, Miller, and Hayward pierced the net for D. H. S. At the end of the game Davenport was presented with a plaque for having won first place. DISTRICT TOURNAMENT Wapello was matched with Davenport in the opening game of the Class A District Tournament. The Red and Blue five lost no time in chalking up a victory over their antagonists. With a count of 10-1 at the first quarter little need be said of the con- clusive score, which was 36-12 favoring the protegees of Coach Moon. The Plucky five of Williamsburg put up stubborn resistance but were compelled to break down under the fast pace set by the sharp-shooters of Davenport High. A score of 7-6 at the end of the first period, followed by 16-8, spelled disappointment for the former at the half. With the accurate shooting of Dick and Miller the D. H. S. players brought the battle to a triumphant conclusion. FINALS Following in succession came the State finals at Des Moines. In the first pairing the Red and Blue drew as their rivals the highly rated Mason City quintet. The D. H. S. basketeers were conquered by a flashy high-scoring team. They made several spurts, but were unable to surpass the Red and Black players. The going was hard, but they played the opposition off their feet in the final portion of the contest; unfor- tunately the drive was not strong enough to overtake their adversaries.

Harry Wilson Ralph Wood THE BLACKHAWK 3 2 YEARBOOK Track Summary At the opening of the 1932 season there were only a few “D” men who answered the call to begin work on the cinder path. This small number formed the nucleus about which Coach Day shaped his successful team—a team which set out to gain laurels equal to those won by last year's championship squad. A well balanced track and field team journeyed to Iowa City, March 26, and succeeded in retaining the Mississippi Valley Indoor championship annexed two years ago. The Davenporters took only three first places, while Clinton won four, and Dubuque the other three; yet in the final totaling, Dubuque, their nearest rival, had 27 1 5 points and Davenport, 36 2 5. Schiebel, pole vaulter, cinched the meet when he cleared 10 feet 10 inches, breaking the record previously held by Clinton. Another record fell when Stolley skimmed the high hurdles in a tenth of a second under the old mark. The second contest of the season held at the State University of Iowa Field House on April 2 was captured by Fairfield with a total of 25 i points; Davenport ended in eighth place collecting 16 points. The D. H. S. track men rolled up their score by the able assistance of the relay teams, both of them placing. The medley mile relay team, composed of Morrissey, L. Buckner, Capt. Wilkinson, and Killion, won first place in that event, while the mile relay team listed a second. On a fast track the Red and Blue athletes routed the Maroons, 95 to 49, Satur- day, April 9. The Daymen, holders of the Tri-City title, easily outclassed the Moline team in almost every event. They took all three places in the 100-yard dash, discus, and the 440-yard run. They also took firsts in all other events except the mile, half mile, 50-yard dash and broad jump. Three records fell on April 18 as the Davenport speed artists captured the Tri- City Outdoor title by defeating the Rock Island team 89 to 63. De Reus won fame for the Crimson squad by nosing out George Morrissey in the quarter mile. This was the only mark credited to Coach Kimmel's men that toppled. The Red and Blue men made a flashy showing in the mile and the medley relays, clipping off two seconds from the previous record and also smashing the old mark of 3:42.6 in the mile relays held by Moline since 1931 when they covered the distance in 3:45.7. In the first triangular meet of the season, April 23, with Muscatine, Clinton, and Davenport, the mercury men from D. H. S. sent home the opposition badly defeated. Two clean sweeps marked the smashing triumph of the Daymen. They claimed all positions in the shot and javelin, and in the mile relay, both first and second, the entire number of firsts amounting to seven. The Davenport score was piled up through the splendid performances of Schiebel, sophomore pole vaulter, who cleared the bar at 11 feet 3 inches; Morrissey, star 440-yard dash man; Kroeger, who threw the discus; Allen in the high jumps; Jurgens for his shot putting; and Bowers, who heaved the javelin. At Des Moines, April 30, the Red and Blue proved their worth. A third and fourth place in the quarter mile and mile relays, respectively, featured their efforts in Page Eighty'thrcc THE BLACKHAWK 3 2 YEARBOOK the finals of the Drake relays. The half mile team was composed of Barr, Wilkinson, Buckner, and Black; the mile quartet, of Gordon, O'Neill, Jackson, and G. Morrissey. Davenport next participated in an invitation meet, the Clinton Gateway Classic, held at the Red and Black cinder path. May 7. This proved to be one of the most interesting events of the season. Although D. H. S. took third in the meet they followed closely on the trail of the winners causing an unusual amount of excitement. Clinton succeeded in winning the meet by accounting for . 5 points. Oak Park came second with 50 points. Nelson, Clinton's star dash man, took second in the 100'yard dash and broad jump, and first place in the 220. This broke the old record and estab' lished another of 22.4. In the mile and half mile relay the Red and Blue scored a sec' ond and fifth respectively. Morrissey and Buckner received second and third in two sections of the quarter mile. Schiebel tied for third in the pole vault and second in the high jump. Other outstanding men in their events were Kroeger and Burmeister in the discus, and Killion and Hartung in the 880-yard run. Page E i g h t y'f o u r FORENSICS THE BLACKHAWK ' 5 2 YEAR BOOK The year has been notable for the usual line spirit of co-operation among all those trying out for the various forensic activities or participating in them. Two in- novations in the method of conducting debates, introduced this year, may become per- manent parts of the plan of procedure. The first is the change in the number of mem- bers on a team from three to two. The second is the introduction of the tournament idea used in our district of the Iowa Nine Association. Both of these new methods were successful and resulted in a considerable financial saving. The teams in all lines of endeavor have upheld, very effectively, the standard set by those of other years.

This was made possible through the wonderful cooperation of the school in giving financial support so generously and the fine spirit of cooperation and sportsmanship of those on the teams. The forensic schedule for 1931-1932 was opened on November 30 when a dual- declamatory meet was held with Rock Island. Both contests were in orations. In the afternoon contest at Rock Island, Davenport was defeated 18 to 45, but in the evening retaliated to win 21 to 42. A triple meet covering each section of declamation was staged with Muscatine on December 1, 4, and 7. Davenport won the humorous section 47 to 61, and the oratorical section 28 to 37, but was defeated in the dramatic group by a score of 52 to 56. On January 29 a girls' oratorical contest was staged at Musca- tine which ended in an all-round tie. On the same evening the dramatic section resulted in an 8 to 13 decision favoring Muscatine. A girls' humorous contest was held with Muscatine on February 2; this also was won by Muscatine to the count of 53 to 55. This year the declamatory teams were composed of Bettina Ebersole, Virginia Smith, Virginia Puscas, Ruth Gilman, Harry Kotlar, Donald Smiley, Robert Schulz, Warran Kroeger, Sam Weigle, Raymond Reese, Elmer Schake, Lester Fisher, William Fisher, and Earl Henley. The Iowa Nine Boys' Declamatory contest was held this year at Burlington on December 11. Harry Kotlar, oratorical representative, won second place; Lester Fisher, humorous representative, second place; and Donald Smiley, dramatic representative, eighth place. Davenport had an extremely heavy debating schedule but finished the season with a remarkably fine record, winning fourteen out of the twenty debates scheduled. In the state competition, the sectional championship was annexed by eliminating Washington, Muscatine, and Brighton; but Davenport's hopes for winning its first state champion- ship were shattered in the semi-finals of the district by Burlington. Burlington also won the Iowa Nine debating championship. Davenport followed closely, however, secur- ing second place. Besides debating in both the State and Iowa Nine associations six out- side debates were staged, four of which resulted in home victories. The affirmative debating squad consisted of Ruth Gilman, Earl Henley, Robert Schulz, Kenneth Coovert, Max Peterson, and Herman Vesolc. The negative squad was made up of Victor Lipsman, Raymond Reese, William Daley, and Lester Fisher. The teams were composed, as occasion called, of various combinations from these groups. On April 15 John Winter, Iowa Nine Extemporaneous representative went to Grinnell for the annual Iowa Nine contest, taking eighth place. On April 18, Earl Henley, State Extemporaneous representative took sixth place in the District contest held in Muscatine. The extemporaneous teams opened the season on April 11 in a contest with Muscatine. Davenport emerged victorious by a score of 71 to 85. On April 15 a dual meet was held with Rock Island. Rock Island was victorious in the afternoon con- test 108 to 126 but Davenport returned the compliment in the evening by winning 91 to 137. The extemporaneous teams were made up of Clyde Heckerman, Elmer Schake, William Voss, Victor Lipsman, Lester Schick, Max Peterson, Warren Kroeger, Sam Weigle, Eugene Hawkinson, Leonard Johnson, Earl Henley, Robert Schulz, Paul Kearney, Ruth Gilman, Raymond Reese, Lester Fisher, Kenneth Coovert, and John Winter. Davenport again ranked highest in all contests in the Iowa Nine association. The final rankings showed Davenport in first place for the eighth successive year. The school received a plaque signifying its superiority over the other schools. i Page Eighty'eight R. O. T. C. THE BLACKHAWK ' 3 2 YEARBOOK m f V Lt. Col. Emory S. West The undersigned has been connected with the local Reserve Officers’ Training Corps unit but a few weeks, hence any comment must necessarily be based on hastily formed impressions. Outstanding among these first impressions is the observation of a gratifying interest in the training shown by the individual members of the unit. Records indicate a steady progess in practical and theoretical training during the past few years. This could be possible only through whole hearted support by the school authorities, the Board of Education, and the community as a whole. Enrollment for R. O. T. C. training this year is even greater than last year. Inasmuch as enrollment is voluntary, the fact that the number of applicants each year exceeds the quota authorised by the War Department indicates that both parents and students appreciate the value of R. O. T. C. training. G. H. Dosher, Capain F. A. (DOL) Acting P. M. S. T. Slrgt. Elmer J. Larson Sergt. David H. Barlow Captain G. H.

O. T. C. Summary The R. O. T. C. enrollment has been very large this school year, necessitating the disappointment of several aspiring cadets. The unit t x k part in the Armistice Day parade and the Memorial Day parade. On March 2, Col. T. S. Moorman visited the High School and watched the activities of the unit, offering many constructive criticisms and hints. Col. E. S. West became ill early in the middle of the spring semester and was replaced by Capt. G. H. Dosher, Assistant P. M. S. and F., for the duration of the Colonel's sickness. Fifty-sevcn of the cadets assisted at the tree planting ceremony, April 10, which was held at Duck Creek Park. This ceremony was a part of the nationwide George Washington Bi'Centennial celebration. The official inspection was held May 11, by Lt.'Col. M. G. Randol from the Headquarters of the Seventh Corps Area. On May 18, the unit participated in the annual competitive drill at Vandcr Veer Park. The unit also participated in the city pageant of the Washington Bi'Centennial program May 20, at the Municipal Stadium. Page One Hundred Four THE BLACKHAWK 3 2 YEARBOOK Clara L.

Nancylcc McKee “The Mikado, probably the best and most famous of all Gilbert and Sullivan operas, was presented by the glee clubs June 2, at the Columbia Theater. It deals with the lives, rather complicated at times, of several Japanese nobles. “The Mikado” contains some of the cleverest writing, both musical and otherwise, to be found in the scores of any light opera. It is a subtle satire on various types of people and customs of the time. Although it was written over fifty years ago, the satire is still amusing and surprisingly modern.

Mr. George Edward Marshall, Mr. L. E. Keller, and Miss Norma Wegner of the office were always eager to help in any manner that the staff wished. Miss Esther L. Bisscll spent many hours helping to make the book a success. Miss Mary Krall and her four students, Virginia Schutter, Priscilla Loomis, Lillian Peeters, and Opal Bond were of great assistance in the art work. Miss Josephine Mirfield's English students contributed the dedication and prologue. The photographers, engravers, and printers all worked over time to bring the book out on schedule, especially Mr. Lester Toloff, Mr. Harry Bawden, and Mr. Karl Wagner. In closing I wish to offer my sincere appreciation to all persons that assisted the staff in any manner. The Editor.
