From that time the name of Mr. Marshall rapidly gathered fame and respect as the scope of his work broadened. No recession, no lack of ambition has cluttered the path of this man who took upon his shoulders the burden of improving educational methods and preparing future citizens to discharge the duties which would inevitably be theirs. Those who knew him hx)ked to him for significant, uplifting work; and they were not disappointed, for they found there a sure and constant vitality, unbending in spite of the pressure upon it and constant until the call from the Great Master. Those exacting virtues which we ask of our ideals were not missing in him. We find them in every phase of his work. George Edward Marshall was born December 23, 1862, in Watertown, New York. During his boyhtxxl, his parents, John and Ida Spaulding Marshall, moved to Chicago. In this metropolis Mr. Marshall spent the greater part of his boyhood. He was graduated from the South Division High School. He entered Syracuse University, but, after completing one year, he transferred to Columbia University where he re- ceivcd his degree. At college he took up the usual course of studies offered by those institutions, namely, the liberal arts. Almost immediately his merit brought him a position as high school teacher in Keokuk, Iowa. After serving a short time as a teacher, Mr. Marshall became principal at the age of twenty-one. While in Keokuk, he also held the chair of chemistry in the Keokuk Medical College. This institution ceased to function early in the twen- tieth century. In 1900 George Edward Marshall became head of the Central High School in Sioux City, Iowa. While there, a certain character-revealing incident occurred which it is worth while to relate. J. N. “Ding” Darling, now a famous cartoonist, roomed with Mr. Marshall. “Ding,” knowing his own weakness, begged Mr. Marshall to take care of his money so that he would not spend too much. Mr. Marshall did so willingly and displayed while handling another's money a great integrity, a sense of which he has passed on to many of Iowa's youth since that time. After seven years' service at Sioux City, Mr. Mashall came to Davenport to suc- ceed Mr. Frank L. Smart as principal of Davenport High Schexfl. From 1907 to 1932 he served in this his selected career. Mr. Marshall was a superior school man, having a versatility of knowledge which made him adept in any class into which he might step. At one time a teacher in Latin and chemistry, he understtxxl the problems of the teacher and had a realization of the work of high school students. Personal touch with students was one of his particular aims, and for the sincere student he had a character- istic pat on the head or some cheerful word of encouragement. His leadership was undisputed. George Edward Marshall married Miss ElTic Hutchinson of Keokuk, Iowa, on December 30, 1912. His marriage terminated a courtship of some years, and we need but say that their life together was a delightful companionship. Mr. Marshall was active in high school work of the state in general. He was a member of the Board of Control of the Iowa High School Athletic Association on its organization in 1904. He served two years as president of the Board immediately after its founding. Later he again became president and served almost continuously in that capacity. Mr. Marshall was also prominent in the National High School Athletic Association and was president of this organization at the time of his death. He also served as president of the State Teachers' Association and the Southeastern Division of the Iowa State Teachers’ Association. He was always interested in institutional work, but his main object was undoubtedly a good high school. By far the most remarkable fact concerning the career of George Edward Marshall as an educator is that he has been and still is the educational ideal of thousands who knew him. He will live among us as a mighty force. MEMORIAL ADDRESS By Dean Philbrook of Trinity Episcopal Cathedral with Introduction by Lester E. Keller High School Auditorium, December 9, 1932 Wc arc assembled as a school, students and faculty, with our superintendent and members of the Board of Education to pay respect and reverence ;o the memory of our departed leader and teacher. It is fitting that wc thus pause a .id lay aside our daily tasks for such a purpose. If wc could project our memories and imaginations back over the twenty' five years of leadership of Mr. Marshall in the Davenport High School and could sec the hundreds of men and women from everywhere and in every walk of life who were members of one of the many classes that have been graduated under his direction, we would see them pause as we do now to pay reverence to his memory. Our loss is great. His reward is greater. It is multiplied in our lives and in the lives of countless others who came in contact with his personality and whose characters were made better under his influence. But our attempts to express our feelings arc but vain efforts. It is well, therefore, that wc turn to one of our friends, and one who knew Mr. Marshall well, to direct our thoughts in this hour. Such a friend is Dean Philbrook! We have gathered in this assembly to pay corporate affection and respect to the memory of George Edward Marshall, whose personality and labors have so tremendous' ly moulded and influenced this great institution through so long a period of years. It would be folly for me to attempt to eulogize that life to you who knew him so well and were so intimately associated with him in the activities of this school. Such a life as his is its own eulogy, and I am content to leave locked in the tender memories of each, the experiences that have been yours because of your association with him. In his modesty and lack of sclf'sceking he would desire no encomiums of praise from the lips of men, and we arc content to leave the “well done” to the God Who secs things as they arc. It is not amiss, however, upon this occasion, to point out how that life of teaching has crystallized certain great principles. We can sec these truths because they were made incarnate in him. As he taught in his life, he would not think it amiss if wc reviewed these truths upon the occasion of his death. The first thing that he would have us remember is that every life must have an aim. All through the many years that he has guided this great school he has been try' ing to emphasize that primary truth. He knew well that in life it is only too possible to “aim at nothing and hit it.” Not only by precept did he teach this principle, but chiefly by example. Those that were close to him have told me that his one aim in life was to be the principal of a good high school. The great organization that he has built here, the splendid spirit that it bears and the high standard that it sets testify completely to the attainment of that ambition. As his every effort was bent to the fub filment of his life's aim, shall wc not in his memory determine again to direct every intelligent effort of ours to real accomplishment? V There is another element that he would have me point out to you, and that is the aim must he high, and above all, unselfish. A man with his talents and intelligence surveying the field of life’s endeavor could have chosen a work that would have brought large financial return. His abilities and persistent effort would have brought him marked success in the business world. Selfish desire, however, played no part in his selection of an aim. He desired to serve youth in an underpaid profession and his reward is great. From far and wide men and women whose lives have been influenced by him in this place now rise up to bear their testimony to his worth. A whole com' munity feels keenly a sense of irreparable loss in his passing. It is not always so. The false standards of success sometimes set up by a selfish world do not result in such great affection and universal love. Many a man who from the selfish standpoint has made a great “success” goes down to his grave unloved. But to the one who unselfishly follows a high ideal of service there arises a monument of peculiar worth, fashioned not from cold marble or bronze, but from the hearts of men and women who profited by loving service and who loved in return. Let his life tell us then that this aim must lx high and unselfish if we would achieve life's greatest purpose. We must add a word about the character of persistency. It could not be that there were no discouragements in his life, but he did not allow discouragement to divert his persistent effort in accomplishing his task. Men and women are so apt to give way to discouragement and reverses—to allow life to slip along in the paths where no re sistencc is met. His life would tell us to beware of such cowardice. His example would encourage us to keep at the task in the face of any apparent failure until triumph comes to crown our persistent endeavor. Let us, in his memory, resolve for ourselves a greater courage and a more untiring effort. Finally his life would tell us that if our aim is high and we labor persistently for its accomplishment that death comes only as the reward of rest for work well done. We cannot hx� k upon the development of character and years of devoted service to the great cause of youth as wasted effort. It is not something that has gone past in the great stream of energy that moves from past to future. It has become a part of the fabric of our present lives. We, in turn, at the close of our life's evening will go on to rest. How we go depends entirely upon how we have lived. There is no prepara- tion for that rest except by means of the labor of the day. Sounding clear from the record of his life comes this reassurance. He entered the life to come as he lived here -confidently, peacefully, and full of purpose. It can be no better expressed than in the words of one who caught a great vision (and when men catch great visions we call it poetry) who said: So live, that when thy summons comes to join The innumerable caravan that moves To the pale realms of shade, where each shall tal(e His chamber in the silent halls of death: Thou go, not lil(e the quarry slave at night, Scourged to his dungeon; but sustained and soothed By an unfaltering trust approach thy grave Lil{e one who wraps the draperies of his couch about him, And lies douw to pleasant dreams.

The play is an amusing satire which deals with an actress, her novelist husband and their two children. The Bliss household is an unconventional one; the situations produced by the presence of four conventional guests, invited for the same week end, are amusing. The play reaches its climax when the guests become disgusted and leave. Although the plot is simple, the play is fascinating. The real charm of the play lies in the characters.

Thus they were partly responsible for the success of the games. Bob Niemand is the veteran of the quartet. He had no more than entered High before he was found in front of the stands. It was he who originated many new ideas to keep the attention of the crowd. He was one of the first to receive the honor of a letter for cheer leading. Ray Reese, not appearing in the picture, will long be remembered as a fellow of keen wit and discerning personality. He used these two excellent qualities to a won- derful advantage as cheer leader. He has only served for one semester, but has won his cheer letter already. A1 Jackson held the part of cheer leader for two years. He was a master at inject- ing pep into the crowd. The quartet lost him during track season as he was a letter winner in that sport. Louie Andre is just another pr x f of the old saying that “grxxl things come in small packages. Although the smallest member of this troup, he could get as much noise as the biggest of them. He has two years yet to serve in this capacity. Cheering is a thing hard to get from stands who are excitedly watching a ftxrtball or basketball game. These fellows knew their stuff and put it over. Congratulations!

Makccvcr From only a few veterans of the team of 1931, hut with a lively squad of can- didates who were anxious to play football and who were willing to ma e personal sacrifices and give their time to the betterment of football, a representative team of Davenport High School was presented to football followers in the fall of 1932. Their willingness to worl{, with their love for football and the moral courage to give the best for the team and for the other fellow, won for them the admiration of the school and their many football enthusiasts. In winning eight of the nine games scheduled the team brought to Davenport High the Mississippi Valley Conference Championship as well as a share in the Iowa High School Football Championship. 67 Jesse E.

R.) 0 November 24 Davenport 7 ' Moline 9 Totals 119 IS Captain Morrissey The season was in every way a successful one with eight victories and one defeat. Two titles were won by the Daymen, first of which was the Mississippi Valley crown and second, the State championship. The Tri-City honors were lost because of the Moline game. This 1932 team was not scored on by any Iowa opponent. Three players were awarded positions on the mythical All-State team. Forrest Burmeistcr, Davenport's powerful tackle, received the position of tackle; Richard “Porky Bowers, stellar halfback, was made alternate back; and Captain Laurence Morrissey was given a place on the fourth team at center. All three of these fellows have earned their letters for three consecutive years and will be greatly missed in the season of 1933. The first game was with Tilden Tech of Chicago on their field. The team worked exceptionally well for the first encounter and defeated the Chicagoans 14 to 7. The first touchdown was made by a pass on the 50-yard line; the second, on an inter- cepted pass from about the same spot. This was the third time in three years that Davenport defeated the strong Windy City grid machine. For this initial event Lau- rence Morrissey led his teammates as captain. Davenport's first home engagement was with Iowa City, “Kenny Cox acting as captain and an entirely new lineup playing in the game. Under a scorching sun and before a crowd of fifteen hundred spectators, the Little Hawks met defeat, 2v0. The new combination displayed the Davenport fighting spirit, and obviously outclassed the Hawks in every department. From the start the game was “all Davenport.” By winning this game Davenport made the initial step toward the State championship. Davenport travelled to Des Moines, October 7, to meet Coach Mike Augustine's powerful East High eleven. The teams were well matched. Unable to make any points in the first half, the Red and Blue came back in the second with an astounding drive and made good fourteen counters. After defeating an opponent with a record like that of East Des Moines, Davenport could well claim the second step to the two crowns which she coveted. “Porky” Bowers, captain of this contest, was a mainstay to ihc team. The team functioned well against Dubuque, both backficld and line working smoothly. Forrest Burmcister, stellar tackle, was captain. The line opened large holes through which the backficld could go with apparent ease. The Davenport defense worked well and stopped the Dubuque offense in their tracks. As a result the team won by a score of 19 to 0 and thus avenged themselves for their defeat the year before. It was Dubuque that knocked to pieces the hopes for a State crown in 1931. Phillip Ashby, halfback on the team, stopped Gibbs of Dubuque with a most spectacular tackle. “Les” Jurgens was made captain of the tilt with Clinton, one of Davenport's LEWIS SMITH MORRELL BURMEISTEI STEVENSON MOBURCj toughest rivals. Playing on their home field Clinton has always been a difficult team to beat. This nocturnal contest proved no exception to the rule. The result of this engagement showed that Davenport could play as well in the pale moonlight as in the bright sunshine. The blocking of Art Collins was especially commendable. The team had no breaks in their favor; they had to drive down the field time and again before they finally pushed over the goal line for the one and only touchdown. Clinton was a powerful rival, and the Daymen were forced to work hard to add the Red and Black to its string of victories. Ottumwa was Davenport's fifth opponent in the race for the State championship. The Ottumwa team put up a grand and glorious fight but was not strong enough for the powerful Red and Blue gridmen. The Daymen, led by Art Collins, showed their superiority by whipping the Bulldogs 14 to 0. All of the points were made in the final minutes of play. Davenport outplayed her rival in every department as is shown by the following statistics: Yards from scrimmage Davenport 190 Ottumwa 102 Yards from punts 175 105 First downs 9 5 Passes 5 3 Passes completed 2 0 The Davcnporters had an off day when they played the Islanders, their old rivals from across the river. In spite of this condition, the Daymen pulled out on the win- ning end of the score. It looked for a while as though the game were going to end 2 to 0 in favor of Rock Island, for the Red and Blue were not clicking on all eleven. In the hist quarter, however, after a tremendous drive which was unstoppable, the Red and Blue warriors pushed over for their six points. Marvin Buttenob was chosen by his mates to lead the team. On Armistice Day one of the most spectacular contests of the season was waged. The home team was led by Glenn Baggcrly, an end. For the first time in the history of the school a homecoming was arranged. Former “D” men were invited to attend and were given a special section in front of the stands. A program was put on in ac cordance with the spirit of the day. The game thrilled the large crowd as Davenport won 14 to 0, the points coming in the last half. By winning this game the Red and Blue claimed the Mississippi Valley Conference title. The Thanksgiving Day game was a thriller in every sense of the word and a heartbreaker to every student of Davenport High. Both teams had a powerful offense and a strong defense. Statistics show that Davenport outplayed her rival but was not found on the larger end of the score. The team made their touchdown by a tre mendous drive down the field and made gtxxl the extra point. Moline gathered her first two points on a safety; the other seven were made in the last quarter by a well executed and somewhat lucky passing attack. Davenport tried the same tactics, which were cut short by the final whistle. The spectators will never forget the thrilbpackcd game played by two gtxxl teams. “Larry Morrissey was elected honorary captain of the 1932 team and so captained the final show.

The lightweight team, composed entirely of sophomores, coached by William Rosing and Harold Money, t x k the Quad'City lightweight title for the fourth time in six years. Taking all their lightweight opponents for a ride they were only beaten by the varsity teams of Lyons and DeWitt. They held these two teams to two touch' downs apiece.

Led by Captain Leonard Dick, Davenport won the Sectional Tournament for the fifth successive year, also the Tri-City Championship, and tied with West Waterloo for the Mississippi Valley Conference title. The sopho' mores won the Mississippi Valley Conference Championship and tied with Moline for the Tri'City title. Captain Dick was honored by being selected as a forward on the All-State team. His consistent playing throughout the season and his leadership certainly entitles him to this State-wide recognition. Jurgens was given honorable mention among the best guards in the State. The losing of Kaufmann and Roschlau by midyear graduation and then Buttenob through sickness gave an opportunity for several new players to make good, and the records will show how well these boys delivered. Some of the highlights of the season were: the tight defensive play which held Dubuque scoreless for the first fourteen minutes of their game: the fighting second-half comeback against Waterloo, although Davenport lost 27 29; the beautiful teamwork which won our second Moline game: Dick’s long shot with seven seconds to go which won the Washington game 37 35; and the wonderful turnout of over three thousand fans at the Alumni game for the George Edward Marshall Memorial Yearbook And now as we write the naynes of Dick, Kaufmann, Roschlau. Buttenob, Collins, Jurgens and Light into history, let us look ahead to next year. With six lettermcn back, with Ashby, Hayward and Moburg till midyear, and Schiebel, Karstcns and Breyuian all year, plus our reserves and the sophomore squad, we may hope to see another good season totder the 1933 34 leader, Captain Roy Schiebel.

C. Gom, John Kaufmann. Everett Light. John Brennan, Marvin Buttcnob, Kenneth Karsten . I’hillip Ashby, Coach Paul C. Moon. Early in November Coach Moon sent out the first call for basketball men. In- cluded in the ninety candidates were four lettermen: Dick, Schiebel, Kaufmann and Roschlau. Other promising material included Redshaw, McShane, Light and Kar- stens, the latter eligible in midyear. Hayward, Jurgens and Collins, also lettermen, reported for practice after the Thanksgiving Day football game. Moburg, Brennan and Ashby also showed much promise as the season progressed. With this material Coach Moon started the weeding out process, and by the first game there were at least twelve good men anxious for action. The season proper began Tuesday evening, December 13, when East Moline visited the Davenport gym. The five regular lettermen, Schiebel, Dick, Roschlau, Jur- gens and Kaufmann started the game. Roy Schiebel, stellar center of last year, paced the Red and Blue to win narrowly 25-23. The following Friday Davenport was the guest of Clinton. The same quintet started an offensive drive that was hard to stop. Roschlau was high scorer in a 27-11 victory for Davenport. An Iowa City squad fell as victims on Wednesday, December 21. Davenport was on a well balanced scoring rampage to win 49-19. All the players on the Red and Blue squad saw action with the five regulars starring. Coach M(x n t x k a serious minded squad to Washington High of Cedar Rapids on Friday, December 30. The Orange and Black annually claims one of the strongest teams in the conference. Less than a minute to play found the score 35 all. After futile passing, Captain Dick received the ball, and with seven seconds left to play swished one from near the center to win the game 37-35. Roschlau was a main factor on the Red and Blue team with his fourteen points. Other scoring honors were evenly divided. At the end of the first quarter. Light was substituted for Jurgens and played at the guard post for the remainder of the game. The next night found Davenport in Moline. The Red and Blue started with their usual pep and held a slight lead for the first three quarters. At this time, however. the defense of the tired Davenport team completely crumpled and Moline sifted through the visitors to win 35-27. Davenport's first defeat! Dick, the only man in form, col- lected thirteen points. With the strenuous holiday contests over, the Moonmen settled down and started in their real style again. Grant of Cedar Rapids fell prey to the new onslaught $7-14. Again the entire team began clicking evenly. The latter part of the game was continued by the ever anxious second team. The next encounter was with the usually strong Muskies. With bulletlike speed and deadly accuracy, however, the Red and Blue won the battle 29-20 by passing Muscatine to death. Scoring honors were split mainly between Roschlau and Dick. McShane gave a good account of himself later in the game when he was substituted in a forward position. Dubuque brought a powerful quintet to Davenport on January 1$. Again the home five were the victors in a 27-15 fray. “Johnny Kaufmann held C. Jackson, high scorer of the conference, to a scant six points. This particular lad usually gar- nered more than fifteen points a game. Captain Dick collected nine markers to lead the otherwise evenly divided Red and Blue squad. Next, East Moline was host to the strong Davenport team. In this second en- counter the Orange and Black received a 42-IS licking. Skinny Dick gathered four- teen and Roschlau, eleven points. The rest of the scoring was left to Jurgens, Ashby, Kaufmann, Schiebel and on down through the remainder of the squad. The night before midyear graduation Davenport entertained the Rock Island team and sent it along the road of defeat by a score of 22-14. This was the grand finale for John Kaufmann and Harry Roschlau. With a revamped lineup Davenport visited West High of Waterloo on the first Friday of the new semester. Up to this time Waterloo was tied with Davenport for first place in the conference. The starting lineup found Karstens and Buttcnob in the two vacancies. Waterloo held a safe lead at the end of the third quarter. The Red (i and Blue rally in the third canto was not sufficient to overcome the Hawks who won 29- 27. The following Tuesday Muscatine visited Davenport for the second encounter. The Red and Blue team won a listless 12-6 game. Nobody seemed to be able to find the hoop. The Grant High quint from Cedar Rapids came to Davenport at the end of the week and were promptly sent home with a 29-13 defeat. Jurgens, Dick and Buttcnob divided honors in this tilt. A return engagement at Dubuque was the next issue. Again C. Jackson was bottled up by the Red and Blue guards. Captain Dick was in form and quickly gath- ered sixteen points. Hayward started the game in place of Buttenob who was out for the remainder of the season because of sickness. Iowa City tasted defeat once more at the hands of Davenport when the Red and Blue were invited to “come up and play.” Ashby and Hayward alternated at the left forward post in an attempt by Coach Moon to find a satisfactory scoring combination. Saturday night, February 17, was a lucky date for Davenport. In their encounter with Rock Island the Moonmcn took an easy game by a count of 35-24. During the course of events Hayward garnered fourteen points. Moburg, starting as a pivot man in the last few tilts, also came through in good form. Davenport's big chance came on Tuesday, February 21, when Moline came to this side of the river for a return engagement. The large crowd witnessed one of the smoothest working teams this year as the Red and Blue avenged their previous defeat 30- 21. Jurgens made two long shots in the second quarter, and Moburg, Hayward and Dick were there to follow closely when he missed. During the second half it was an easy matter to hold a safe lead. The final tilt in the regular season was played on Friday night, February 24, with Clinton. The upriver quintet was no match for the fast Red and Blue team. Daven- port easily outplayed the visitors and the game ended 43-17. Thus the Mississippi Valley Conference ended with Davenport and West Water- loo tied for first place, both teams having won nine games and lost but one. TOURNAMENTS The Sectional Tournament opened on Thursday, March 2, at Muscatine. The Muskies played Davenport in the feature tilt of the first evening. Again the Red and Blue were victorious in disposing of the Muscatine five 31'17. Captain Dick fired three successful shots in the first few minutes of play and later made two more for a total of ten points. Jurgens at a guard post gathered nine points during the fray. The other points were evenly divided. The following night the Red and Blue met an inexperienced Wilton quintet. After the first quarter there was little doubt as to who would be the winners, so the Davenport second team was substituted and finished the game, winning 52'10. Schiebel was the man of the hour with seventeen markers. Moburg, Hayward, Dick and Light each had six or more points to complete the major part of the scoring. The finals of the Sectional Tournament were played on Saturday night. A fight' ing DeWitt team tried vainly to upset the Red and Blue, but were not equal to the task. Dick led the scoring with ten points. Hayward, Schiebel and Jurgens followed closely with eight, seven, and six points respectively to figure in the 38-23 victory. With the Sectional title tucked safely away, the Red and Blue team anxiously turned to the beginning of the District Tournament on the following Thursday. Davenport was chosen as the site of the District Tournament and on the opening night drew a contest with Burlington. A scrappy team from the downriver city were powerful enough to give the Red and Blue a sound 31-24 licking. The Greyhounds took the lead from the beginning and never relinquished it. The Hawks possessed the ball most of the evening and made one of the best percentages of shots ever collected. On the other hand the Red and Blue were unusually ragged. Captain Dick made the only fair showing. Thus another very successful season closed with twenty out of twenty-three vic- tories. Included among these games were the Quad-City Championship, the Sectional Championship and a tie for first place with West Waterloo for the Mississippi Valley Conference.

Clinton, led by Carl Nelson, took the laurels with 73 points. Davenport ranked second with 41 2 3 points. Eight records were broken in the twelve events on the program. The Davenport two- third mile relay team established a new record, and Aubrey Allen and Roy Schiebel shared a record with Connolly of Dubuque. Schiebel also tied for first place in the pole vault with Nelson of Grant High (C. R.). April first marked the breaking of ten records at the State Ind x r Meet at Iowa City. Speed artists came from forty-five schools, of which twenty-four scored. Clin- ton won the meet with a total of 35 points. Davenport ranked fourth with 16 points. Among the Davenporters to place was Schiebel who won the pole vault at a mark of 11 feet. Don Ogg placed third in the 60-yard low hurdles. The dual meet with Rock Island which was scheduled for April 8 was postponed to the following Wednesday, April 12, at which time the Red and Blue speed artists overwhelmed the Rock Island team 101 to 34. Martin of Davenport starred with three firsts and also ran on the winning half mile relay. Hayward, Gordon, Stevenson, Schmidt, Schiebel, Burmcistcr, Allen, Jurgens and Light also t x)k first places. The second dual meet was held with the Muscatine track team, coached by Leon- ard Hunn formerly of D. H. S., on Davenport's home oval. The Muscatine outfit proved no match for the hilltop speed team, for they were vanquished to the tune of 99 to 45. Don Ogg took first place in both the high and low hurdles. Guy Martin was hot as usual and took two firsts and one third, and was on the winning quarter mile relay team. The mile relay team, composed of Stevenson, Cox, Jackson and O'Neill, outdistanced their opponents by a large margin. The Moline-Davenport Dual Meet, held on April 22, at Browning Field, Moline, was taken by Davenport with 74.5 points. Moline gained 54.5 points. The Red and Blue athletes took first places in nine out of the fifteen events on the program. Davenport scored clean sweeps in the 220-yard dash and the discus throw. In the 220 Martin, Baker and Schiff took first, second and third, while in the discus Burmcistcr, Light and Morrissey nosed out the Moline men. John Hayward showed form and took the hurdles against a strong wind in 16.9. Roy Schiebel took his usual first in the pole vault at 11 feet 6 inches. By adding this meet to their list the Davenport squad gained undisputed possession of first place in the Tri-City prep track standing. The Drake relays were held April 29 at the Drake stadium in Des Moines. The Davenport runners who participated were Captain Martin O'Neill, Elmer Hanson, Ray Stevenson, Guy Gordon, Donald Ogg and Guy Martin. The first four named ran the mile relay which took eighth in a field of eighteen. The last four ran the 440- yard relay which took fourth with a time of 44.4. Oak Park of Illinois took the 440- yard relay with a time of 43.8. Clinton High retained the Gateway Classic track title by winning one of the largest and most spectacular high school meets in the country on May 6. Representa- tives from 51 schools competed in the speed program. Tribute was paid to the late George Saling, Olympic Champion of the University of Iowa, who was to have given an exhibition at the classic. Don Ogg went over the high barriers to beat Connolly of Dubuque at a time of 16.4 seconds. Roy Schiebel set a new record in the pole vault as he skimmed over 11 feet 11 % inches. The mile relay team met with misfortune, but finally overcame it. A camera man leaned too far over the track and knocked the baton out of Ray Stevenson's hand. The officials decided to run the team with no competition and if the time was bettered to give first place to Davenport. The time was bettered by 4 10 of a second, and the trophy for the mile relay was taken by Davenport. The Red and Blue finished third in the field of competitors. FORENSICS Perhaps the most unusual incident of the year’s work, is the fact that a program of economy has i7icreased the jtutnber of interscholastic contests. This is due largely to the introduction of the round robin tournament idea in debate both in the State and Iowa 7sline Associations. The result was an increase in debates from last year's record of 26 to 45 for this year. Of these our teams won 35, placed second in the State league and first in the Iowa 7sline. But more important than these victories is the fact that a large number of students were enabled to appear in contests, both locally and interscholastically. A fine spirit of individual rivalry and team cooperation has prevailed throughout the year. A. E. Keiber. FORENSIC REPRESENTATIVES Raymond Rcc c, Mjx I’ctcrson, Victor Lips man. Elmer Schakc FORENSIC SUMMARY Although losing one or two contests, the Davenport High School forensic depart- ment has upheld the standards set by former classes. Mr. A. E. Keiber lost four of his letter men who were graduated in June 1932. The first dual meet in the oratorical division was awarded to Rock Island with a total score of 61 to 55. Davenport was victorious in the evening meet, having a score of 33 to 30. On December 2 Davenport went to Muscatine for a humorous contest, which was awarded to the latter with a score of 69 to 40. On Monday Muscatine again met Davenport here in a combined oratorical and dramatic contest in which Davenport was awarded first place in the dramatic, having a score of 21 to 11 and in the oratorical, having a score of 21 to 9. The declamatory teams were composed of Robert Schulz, Roger McShane, Sam Weigle, Victor Lipsman, Elmer Schake, David White, Max Peterson, John Powlesson, William Hintze, Malvin Hansen, Robert Parker and Ray Reese. The Boys' Iowa Nine Declamatory Contest, which was originally intended to be held here December 9, was postponed to January 6, due to Principal George Edward Marshall's death. This meet, which came to Davenport for the first time in eight years, was represented by seven sch x)ls: Muscatine, Ottumwa, Fairfield, Iowa City, Burlington, Washington and Davenport. The speakers who represented Davenport were Victor Lipsman, in the oratorical division, securing first place, Ray Reese, in the dramatic, third place and Max Peterson, in the humorous division, seventh place. Fairfield received first place in this contest, Iowa City, second and Davenport, third. The tournament idea held sway during the debating season as a medium of econ- omy and simplicity in conducting the debates. Because of this fact Davenport was able to book a great number of practice debates with various out-of-town schools. This year's question was: Resolved, That at least fifty per cent of all state and local reve- nue should be derived from sources other than tangible property.

Barlow The training of the Davenport High School R. O. T. C. is preliminary instrue' tion in all the subjects prescribed for appointment as Second Lieutenant Infantry Reserve Officers of the United States Army. Special emphasis is dici on developing the student as an instructor and leader capable of producing trained privates, corporals and sergeants instead of merely per- fecting himself in the knowledge and practice necessary for those grades. The object of this course in the Davenport High School is to lay the foundation of intelligent citizenship by teaching the student habits of precision, orderliyiess, cour- tesy, correctness of posture, deportment, leadership and respect for loyalty to coyisti' tuted authority.

C. increased this year from 350 to 490, while the number of companies grew from 6 to 7 by the addition of an honor company Bugle and drum corps with tabards composed of the school colors on their instruments, a sharpshooters squad and mounted messengers were interesting features added to the organization. Many new policies were instituted during the year. All commissioned officers were equipped with swords, noncommissioned with leather belts, and privates with pistol belts. All collars on the coats were rolled. Officers were selected by competitive examinations, which were strict and thorough. All regimental administration, paper work and orders were made out and issued by the student officers. Student officers were trained in the making of maps of areas adjacent to the campus and in the prepara- tion and execution of terrain problems and tactical exercises. The year's program in- cluded road march, regimental review, regimental parade and formal guard mount. An Infantry Board composed of postgraduates instructed all companies in their drills. A system of campaign badges and merit bars was created. Uniforms assigned to each boy have been stored away and will be kept separately during the vacation to be used by the same student next fall. Through the cooperation of Principal A. I. Naumann, a unit drill was held every Tuesday morning from 8:30 to 9:30. The prin- cipal was on hand to view the drill once a month. On May 10 the unit was inspected by Major John M. Fray, F. A., with head- quarters in Omaha. A competitive drill took place on May 24 at Vandeer Veer Park. The captain of the best drilled company was presented with a saber which he was allowed to keep. The boy who made the most advancement through the year received a five dollar gold piece. The final events in which the unit took part were the Armistice Day parade and the Memorial Day parade. MUSIC Clara L. Thomas Kent Gannett Director ......................................

The seven largest cities in eastern Iowa were represented; they included Bur lington, Davenport, Fairfield, Iowa City, Muscatine, Ottumwa and Washington. The three girls who entered from Davenport had previously entered minor coiv tests which were held in the Davenport High School Auditorium. The pupils of the expression classes were the judges in the eliminations, preliminaries, semi-finals and finals at D. H. S. Bernice Moore proved superior in the dramatic division, Esther Vergo, in the oratorical, and Marjorie Hakendorf, in the humorous. These were then sent to Muscatine to represent Davenport. As usual Davenport's participants scored the highest. Bernice M xirc presented “St. Joan” by Bernard Shaw. She received a gold pin for placing first in her division.

The purpose of the group is to create a greater interest in the study of Rome and Roman classics. The club is divided into three ranks: Senatores (the Virgil class). Equites (the Cicero classes), and the Plebs (those in lower classes). Meetings are held in Room 10 every two weeks on Wednesday. Membership is open to any junior or senior who studies Latin and to any sophomore who plans to take more than the required two years. Interesting programs were given at each meeting. Dolls were dressed to illustrate Roman togas; club members in costume presented various dramatic sketches; Miss Frances Thelcmann gave an interesting account of her visit in Venice; musical num- bers enlivened some of the programs, and Miss Minnie Eskelson described her impres- sions of Naples.

Several club meetings were devoted to the study of the myths and legends of Germany. A Christmas program was held before the holidays. Use Pohling as guest speaker told of her own Christmas exper- iences in Germany. A German village was arranged beneath the Christmas tree.

This event took place on Armistice Day when Grant High of Cedar Rapids was the opponent of the Red and Blue. The club also petitioned the student body and the business men of the city to dedicate the new gym- nasium in honor of the late principal, George Edward Marshall. An All D. H. S. Mixer was held at the Outing Club on April 29. Regular weekly meetings took place at the Y. M. C. A., where plans were made for club parties and dances.

A. building every Tuesday, at which time interesting programs have furnished entertainment for the club members. A few of the speakers were Mr. George Potter of the High School, who told of his war experiences; Mr. R. J. Ramser, who spoke to the club members regarding their future as leaders of the Hi-Y of Davenport; Mr. Boyd Liddlc and Mr. R. A. Leake, also of the Y. M. C. A., presented interesting talks.

During the foot- ball season the club divided according to grade and sold candy at the Davenport- Dubuque game. The losing team entertained the other at a Hallowe'en party later on. A wiener roast on October 19 and a picnic afforded other good times. The girls made two excursions, the one through a Davenport ice cream factory and the other, the Iowa Soldiers Orphans' Home. Some of the girls presented Morley's play, “The Re- hearsal, for one of the programs. An Initiation and a Senior Farewell took place both semesters.

During the Christmas season members invited their friends to a party in the art room. Miss Ella E. Preston, supervisor of art in the public schools, gave a lecture on American sculpture at one time and on Ancient Greek sculpture at another time. In January the group visited the Municipal Art Gallery to view an exhibit of the work of Tri-City artists. On May 24 the club closed an outstanding year with a school dance.

A r THIS GYMNASIUM IS DEDICATED AS A MEMORIAL TO GEORGE EDWARD MARSHALL 1662-1932 PRINCIPAL OF THE DAVENPORT HIGH SCHOOL 1907-1932 CHAMPION OF ATHLETICS FRIEND TO YOUTH WISE COUNSELOR WORTHY CITIZEN The Above is the Wording on the Tablet That is to be Placed in the Lobby of the Gymnasium REMINISCENCES I find it difficult to write briefly about George Edward Marshall. The subject is too big, and too present. Mr. Marshall and I were the closest of friends for almost a third of a century. No one, I am sure, aside from the members of his immediate family, knew him so well as I knew him. Yet there were many things about his life that I did not know, some of which I have learned since his death. He never talked about himself or his personal affairs, even to me. In all the years of our association not one cross or unkind word ever passed be- tween Mr. Marshall and me. I offer this as evidence of his extreme forbearance and kindness. Of course, on many things we did not agree. He had positive opinions and vigorously upheld them but would never wrangle about them or insist that you accept them. Mr. Marshall's fine qualities were numerous. He was genuine through and through. He heartily disliked show and pretension. He had no time for hypocrisy and no patience with falsehood. He never grumbled or found fault. If conditions were not to his liking, he proceeded to remedy them. If they could not be remedied, he made the most of them cheerfully and without comment. He never sought honors of any kind for himself. Those that came to him, and there were many, were conferred upon him in recognition of his integrity and ability. Mr. Marshall liked his work, enjoyed it and took pride in it. The money reward was a minor consideration. In all his years here he never asked for an increase in salary. When questioned on this subject, his invariable reply was, I'll leave that to you and the Board. For twenty-five years his consuming passion,” outside his home, was the Davenport High School. Frank L. Smart, Superintendent of Davenport Schools. BOARD OF EDUCATION RESOLUTION ON DEATH OF GEORGE EDWARD MARSHALL The following resolution was adopted by the Board of Education on January 9, 1933: “It is with deep sorrow that we record that on December seventh, nineteen hundred thirty-two, death removed from among us Mr. George Edward Marshall, Principal of the High Sch x l. For more than twenty-five years he had served continu- ously and with marked success in this position. He was widely recognized as a dis- tinguished leader in secondary education in all its phases. His great purpose in life was the education and training of boys and girls of high school age. To this task he gave himself without stint. He liked young people. He had a deep and sympathetic understanding of adolescent boys and girls. He had a profound faith that youth was sound at the core regardless of its foibles and transient shortcomings. The breadth and depth of his influence over the thousands of boys and girls who came under his leadership is beyond calculation. Mr. Marshall had the uncommon faculty of making friends wherever he went, both within school circles and without. To know him was to like him. He was ever cordial, genial and loyal. He hated sham and show. The many honors that came to him were wholly unsought by him. Sincerity, integrity, ability and dependability sel- dom appear in one man as these qualities did in him. “In his passing the school has lost a loyal and capable leader, the community, an outstanding citizen and his wife and family, a devoted husband and brother. “Be it resolved, therefore, that we extend to Mrs. Marshall the assurance of our sympathy in her bereavement, that a copy of this resolution be sent to her and that it be spread upon the minutes of this Board.” MEMORIES 1908 —1933 In January, 1908, the auditorium of the new D. H. S. was filled with mothers, fa- thers, sisters and relatives, and on the stage were seated twenty-two graduates, the first and smallest class ever sent on its way by ‘ George Edward. Twenty-five years later, in 1952, the son of one of the twenty-two was sent on his way hy the same George Edward from the same auditorium, a member of the largest class ever given diplomas at D. H. S. And. peculiarly, the son of the 1908 grad is contributing in these pages, as a member of that largest and last class, some of his mem- ories of the same beloved principal, George Edward Marshall. But what can the old graduate write that will not he repeated by the younger one and other contributors in these pages, except that back in 1908 we knew him first and loved him for his so-called peculiarities. William Rittkr Sr., ‘08. No doubt whenever former students recall their High School days under Mr. Marshall's direction, the majority of them associate with him something amusing. I believe, however, that there was some- thing even more significant than his keen sense of humor. This was his most unusual gift of recognizing faces and recalling names at an instant. Upon meeting Mr. Marshall in the corridor at school or on the street, the student expected to be noticed and spoken to, and he was mighty sure not to be disap- pointed. In later years when the student was no linger a youngster, he was still greeted in the same way whenever he met his former principal. At least ten years after my gradu- ation from High School, I had an occasion to go to Mr. Marshall’s office. I was greeted by the old familiar question, Well, Louise, what can I do for you? I wonder if Mr. Marshall ever realized what this little recognition meant to a young- ster, and how it still is, and always will be, remembered by his students. Louise E. Jepsen, ’09. Mr. Marshall possessed an uncanny knack of appearing at scenes of mischievous activi- ties when least expected, and at the same time was keenly observant. For example, a very good attraction was one day playing a matinee performance at the Burtis Opera House. Although school was in session, the student body was well repre- sented at the theatre, standing on the side- walk waiting for the gallery doors to open. From the remarks Mr. Marshall made to the individual representatives on the following day, it was very evident that he had not missed a face in passing. Subsequent matinee box-office receipts slumped considerably. Frank J. Kaufmann, ’09 I class Mr. Marshall as one of my great, good friends. I did not have to worry about his having forgotten me. for once I put him to the test in Marshall Field’s, and he was instantly aware of the familiar face, and flat- teringly remembered my name. We chatted and I asked for all my old friends. Once, even, he told me. that if I would promise to obey all the rules and regulations, I might try to teach in the Davenport High School, but since I could not come, he never knew, at first hand, all the lapses of pedagogical skill I possess. How difficult it might have been for me and those friends of mine to have been active had there been over a thousand students in those days. As it is, so self-centered is human nature that I think of D. H. S. as a part of me and the things I own. I should know my way about, even to the stage where you will remember one of the major engagements in the war of Woman Suffrage was fought. My hand should involuntarily reach for the false hair at the back of my head which Mr. Marshall once picked up and returned to me with all the gallantry that came so easily to him. Louise C. Rowlands, ’10. As my mind wanders back, I recall those years, 1906 to 1910, as four of the happiest years of my life, and closely associated with them will ever be that jovial, friendly spirit of George Edward Marshall; he was a gen- uine friend of all boys and girls. We respect- ed him always, yet I don’t believe we feared him; he was more of a comrade to each and every student. In recalling incidents of every day school life—perhaps some of the 1910’crs remem- ber the day Jimmy Thatcher stood me up in the corner of Study Room A with my face to the wall because I tossed a note down the aisle. Those were difficult” days; life was hard. so we thought, and punishment was meted out in a deserving measure. Ethel J. McKown, '10. • • • The announcement of the death of Mr. Marshall caused me to realize that I had never regarded him as a bit older than when he first came to Davenport High School, hack in 1907 or 1908. His seemed to he a spirit kept young hy his contact with youth. Mr. Marshall's success as a principal was due in no small way to his understanding of and his sympathy with the spirit of youth. I well rememher a little incident that showed me his understanding and yet his ability to direct those in his charge. One bright spring morning, when I was a senior, I happened to have a little time be- tween class periods. I wandered out the Main Street door and spread myself comfort- ably on the lawn in the sunshine. In those days, when all classes were eared for under the one roof, going out-of-doors between classes was not permitted I could sec no harm in enjoying a bit of sunshine, however, since I had time on my hands and the day was so pleasantly warm. Mr. Marshall soon located me and came out. He sympathized with my desire to be out in the warm sun- shine, spoke of the loveliness of the day, but called my attention to the fact that I was not permitted to leave the building, explaining why. And with a pat on the shoulder, he sent me off to the study room feeling that, much as I might like to do certain things, if Mr. Marshall had a reason for not wanting it done, it would not be done. Harry Hummel, '10. The name of George Edward Marshall brings forth happy memories of the High School days in which his friendly personality and inspiration played such a large part. The class of June, 1910, had much ability and resourcefulness, its energies being direct- ed along many lines, and although we may have presented George Edward with an oc- casional problem, his capable methods and youthful understanding spirit guided us in the right direction and left us an enduring friendship and warm regard for this fine gentleman. His presence on athletic trips was always an added incentive to a High School team and his unmistakable satisfaction in a well earned victory was apparent, but, win or lose, he was a thorough sportsman at all times. Roy H. Schmidt, 10. High School days—four years of your life you like to think back over and refer to Mr. Marshall as a grand companion. One of his greatest accomplishments was his ability to judge quickly whether to rule by a stern hand or omit punishment. As juniors we succeeded in disrupting the orderly presentation of the 1910 Senior Class Play, and I do not believe a single junior ever heard a word of criticism from him. The next morning when we met in the hall he stepped to the side as we passed by and looked straight at us without saying a word, which was his unique way of saying, Boys must have their fun and now that it’s over let's get back to work.” I believe we still hold the record of pre- senting the first and only live pig attending a High School Class Play. H. O. Brownlie, 11. Tardiness was one of my weaknesses dur- ing my High School days. At that time the charge was a grave and serious one, but as I look back and think of the personal contact I made with Mr. Marshall because of the fault, I feel that it was a blessing in disguise. One winter morning I entered the building just as the tardy bell rang. This meant a trip to the office before I could go to my first class. It was not my first offense, and very timidly I opened the office door and took a scat to await the arrival of the principal. In a few moments he appeared, looked sternly at me and said, Arc you late again? What is the excuse this time?' My excuse was not very convincing, and he gave me the lecture I so richly deserved. He excused me with a parting warning that I was not to appear in the office again. Just then the bell rang, and I started for my first class. In those days a teacher was stationed at the foot of the stairs to maintain a semblance of law and order. The girl ahead of me for- got the traffic rules and proceeded to run up the middle of the stairs. The teacher on guard shouted lustily for her to come back and try it over, but she went blissfully on unaware of the thunder storm at the foot of the stairs. This amused me and I unwittingly burst into a loud gale of laughter. Suddenly I heard an angry voice say, Florence Carroll, you go to the office. My heart sank, for hadn't I been warned that I was not to ap- pear in the office again. At that moment the lines closed in, and a chance of escape was in the offing. I ascended the stairs with the speed of the wind and rushed into the class room. I sat down and breathed a sigh of re- lief. My joy was short lived, however, for an irate little lady stood in the door and called in no uncertain terms: “Young lady, come right here. Taking me by the arm she said, “Do you want me to take you to the office, or can you go alone? One glance at her angry counte- nance assured me I would do well to plead my own ease. However, she shadowed me until I was safely within the office. Mr. Marshall was seated at his desk. He glanced up and asked, Arc you here again? What can I do for you now? It’s not what you can do for me. but probably what you will do to me that mat- ters, was my rejoinder. I told him my tale of woe. His keen sense of humor arose to the fore, and I knew that he somewhat sym- pathized with me in my unsuccessful attempt to fulfill his command of not coming back to the office. He smiled and said. “Well. Florence, you weren't living up to the Golden Rule. You shouldn't laugh at people in trouble. Don't do it again. Go and sin no more.” I went hack to my class with a very warm feeling in my heart for that beloved principal, who ah ways saw through the eyes of the pupil as well as through the eyes of the teacher. Florence G. Carroll. '12. Mr. Marshall abhorred anything untidy. Have you ever heard the hat episode of 1911? It was then that huge twenty eight inch sailors of stiff straw became the vogue and many girls appeared Monday morning decked out in the new hats. Lockers were too small, and hats too large and stiff, and we were in a quandary over their disposition. By careful balancing they could be made to stay on top of the lockers, so that became the solution for the problem. Every day more hats were perched on the lockers and every day the corridors appeared more untidy. One day all hats disappeared and great was the consternation! There was only one solu- tion. Some one was joking us. Every girl hurried to the office, there to have her hat issued to her, without comment, by Miss Welch. The next day the hats were confis- cated again, and when the owners appeared at the office Mr. Marshall issued them with a few well chosen words. After that, each girl kept her hat in a teacher's locker and the cor- ridors resumed their normal appearance and again became tidy. Yes. Mr. Marshall hated untidiness, which after all is a virtue any one of us might emulate. Mary Baker, '12. To have been one of George Edward Mar- shall's pupils in our High School was a privi- lege that many of us have enjoyed, but the real appreciation of which ripens as the years roll on. He was never the stern old fashioned schoolmaster. On the contrary, he taught us an understanding and a sense of fairness that in later years we learn to value as a quality of vital importance. I feel very deeply that this respect for our opponents and this sense of fairness towards them as developed by “George Ed- ward” and practiced on the athletic fields by the High School teams have been a wonderful contribution to real sportsmanship here in Davenport, and in fact throughout this sec- tion of the country. Not only have those students representing the High School learned this lesson of sports- manship, but gradually, and still very notice- ably, year by year, has this feeling crept into the stands and gripped the spectators. “Clean Sportsmanship is the heritage which George Edward Marshall has left us. May we guard it well! Oscar F. Priester, '12. I think one of George Edward Marshall's greatest attributes was his ability to concede to the boy's point of view, without even in the slightest degree losing the boy’s respect cither for Mr. Marshall or for school disci- pline. The following incident typifies this— and although many years have elapsed, it is as vivid in my mind today as if it had happened yesterday. Phil Davidson and I were rabid baseball fans. In those days Davenport was in the Three I League and the ball park was 'way down in the west end. It was our senior year and our last class for the day was through at three o'clock. So at noon on the opening day of the baseball season Phil and I stepped up to Mr. Marshall with our excuses asking for permission to leave at three o’clock. “Going to the ball game?” asked Mr. Mar- shall of me, as I happened to present my ex- cuse ahead of Phil. “Yes, sir,” I said. “You, too, Phil?” asked Mr. Marshall. Phil nodded. “Nothing doing! said Mr. Marshall. So Phil and I walked dejectedly to our scats—which were opposite each other in the first row. On his way from the study room, Mr. Mar- shall stopped between our desks and said: “Sec me in my office on your way to the first class. So we trooped in to sec him. “When do you get out of your last class today?” asked “George Edward.” “Three o'clock,” one of us answered. “Well, if you're reported missing from the study room after three. I’ll forget about it,” said Mr. Marshall, and he started to walk out of his office. Before we had recovered our breath he was gone. Needless to say, Phil and I were on our way to the ball park at 3:01. The next day when I tried to thank Mr. Marshall he said: “I don’t know anything about it!” Rudolph Moritz, '12 Thousands of students who knew “George Edward remember him in many different moods and emotions, but I believe only three hundred and seventy-five of his students who were in Study Room A on January 2, 1913, at nine o’clock, ever had the opportunity of seeing him entirely different—bewildered. Study Room A had assembled at 8:??. The bells had rung. The students were all seated, and the hum of whispers was quieting down. Miss Bisscll and Dad Lattin were pacing up and down the side aisles, checking up those present and accounting for disturbances. In scat No. 8 little Elisabeth Lamp was quiet at her desk, and back of her in scat No. 9 sat the writer. Dad Lattin, the big, burly old guard of North Dakota University, swaggered down the aisle and stopped at seat No. 9 saying Harry, today Mr. Marshall will appear in this room returning from his honeymoon. You arc to get up at the nine o'clock bell and lead this assembly in a cheer for him. To those of you who do not remember Eliza' belli Lamp. I might say she was probably one of the quietest, sweetest little girl students in the High School. Overhearing this command she just about doubled up with laughter. To her it was a grand joke. To me it was like a death command. Who, me? No! No! I protested. You do it or I'll Hunk you,” demanded Dad Lattin. I breathed hard. I blushed. I lost my nerve, but encouraged by this little mite in Scat 8 I gained control. The nine o'clock bell rang. The door open- ed. In walked Mr. Marshall. Up I sprang. I called for a cheer. Every one in Study Room A responded with three rousing cheers. The room echoed and re-echoed with the en- thusiasm. George Edward was bewildered. He want- ed to scold. He wanted to run. He breathed heavily. In a trembling voice he responded and accepted the student body applause. Liughtcr followed. The embarrassment was relieved. He again won the hearts and love of his students as a real sportsman. Harry Bawden, '13. From the day of my entrance into High School until his death, Mr. Marshall was al- ways the same friendly, affectionate adviser to me. A very humorous incident, which placed me in close contact with him the day of my entrance, engendered an intimate friendship that increased with the years. In early life my parents endowed me with a name that apparently caused considerable ambiguity to the powcrs-that-bc in making out my class schedule. To the surprise as well as the consternation of the gym teacher, I reported for instruction with the girls' gym class. Apparently this was contrary to rule, and despite my protest, I was sent to Mr. Marshall. He got a big kick out of the inci- dent, and said, “The Lord Himself couldn't make out from a name like that whether you arc a boy or girl.” The result was an imme- diate acquaintanceship. He was a natural leader of boys with a cer- tain magnetism which drew them to him. Oftentimes we find an outstanding teacher and educator and again we find charming personalities which command respect, love and affection. Mr. Marshall possessed both of these qualities, which brought him the respect of the entire student body. Instinctively these attributes were admired by the writer during his school days. However, in later years when these qualifications became more of a reality and grew more and more into realization by analysis, I realized the real privilege which had been accorded me by his friendship and association. It is with deep gratification that I can look back upon my contacts with him. W. Parmele Peterson, '13. My acquaintance with George Edward Marshall began two days after I became a student in the Davenport High School. Several months before I had suffered a severe injury to my leg and, when school be- gan in September, my leg and foot were still swollen to the point where 1 was only able to wear a slipper and to walk with a decided limp. The assembly bell for the afternoon session, which in those days began at 1:30, was ringing and I was still on the first floor with a long flight of stairs and what then seemed to me to be an almost endless trek to the front door of Study Room B ahead of me. I hobbled along as best I could with thoughts of the embarrassment which I. a freshman, would suffer on account of my tar- diness racing through my mind. As I neared the door. I felt an arm steal around my shoulders and I heard a quiet voice say: Young man. what's your hurry?” Without turning I recognized Mr. Marshall. In my confusion and embarrassment at thus being “caught late on my second day as a High School student. I kept on hobbling to- ward the door, unable to utter a sound. I started to turn in when suddenly he pro- pelled me away from and past the door down to the next hall to a vacant room where he bade me sit down. There, for the first time since he had encountered me. I looked at him. His face was wreathed in smiles and his eyes were twinkling good naturedly. From that moment my lears and embarrassment left me, never to return during my entire ac- quaintance with him, and for the next forty- five minutes we just talked. That was the beginning of a friendship and a relationship of mutual affection, respect and esteem which lasted throughout my high school, college and later years down to the time of his death. If I were asked to choose one from among the many of his qualities which made Mr. Marshall not only outstanding in his field but so highly revered by everyone, I believe I should choose his unusual ability to gain and to hold the voluntary esteem and affection of all those with whom he came in contact, es- pecially of the many students who had the good fortune to be under his direction during his long service in the Davenport High School. This he accomplished by a rare combination of faculties. Outstanding among them were his complete understanding of youth, its de- sires and ambitions and his sincere, unbound- ed confidence in and loyalty to young people, especially those under his immediate super- vision. By the presence of these qualities he engendered in those with whom he came in contact a confidence and respect and affection which the passage of time neither diminished nor destroyed. In the lives of most of us there arc always a few characters we meet who leave indelible impressions upon us and the memories of whom seem to stand out with a greater luster and brightness than those of others. To me such a character was Mr. Marshall. Undoubt' cdly there arc others who could have filled his place, but to me there will be. indeed—there can be only one Mr. Marshall, and the pas' sage of time can never dull the luster of my memories of him. Harold Thuenen, '13. Mr. Marshall has always stood in my mind as such an essential part of my four High School years, that 1 somehow feel I have lost contact, irrevocably, with that important per- iod of my educational life, now that he has gone. On the other hand, I rejoice that I was privileged to be in High School under his sympathetic, capable handling. The benefit to the thousands of Davenport pupils during his twenty-five years there constitute a re' markable record of achievement. If there were more such influences and such records, the world would not be such a sorry place today. Eloise B. Cram, 14. One lovely spring day way back in 1914 when the urge to get out and away from classes became too strong to resist, a group of senior girls, about eight in number, held a secret consultation over the lunch table. We agreed that no student ought to finish his four years of High School without at least one experience of playing hooky. There happened to be, that day, a much- advertised play, called “Within the Law,” showing at the old Burtis Opera House on Perry Street. So. very stealthily, by ones and twos we left the school building and met later down town. At the ticket office of the Burtis we discovered a shortage of funds. Going into another huddle we decided to make a day of it anyway and so the party started out again, this time to the American, a vaudeville house on Third Street. In high hilarity we were walking eight abreast along Fourth Street past the post office, when some one saw Mr. Marshall coming toward us, al- ready bending on us his evcrwatchful eye. Right there beside us stood the open door of the livery stable of Jerry Jaeger s father. Again eight girls felt an urge this time to get in, not out, and eight girls popped through those open doors and hid behind a big black hearse which stood conveniently near. Peeking out, just in time, we saw Mr. Marshall pass with head erect and face straight ahead. Well that was something. Morning came and a long excuse line, including the other seven sinners! Mother had refused to write a note for me so I did not join the line but remained in my seat, which happened to be very near Mr. Mar- shall's desk, and composed a very wordy ex- planation of the situation, drawing his atten- tion to the fact that I was being honest about it anyway and that I felt such a virtue should merit a blue slip, maybe?? At the last moment I went to the desk and handed him the note. My knees trembled, for this was my first offense, and control, if any, was remote. He read the note and looked up at me without a flicker of expression on his face. Then he reread it and reached out toward the white slip pad glancing up at me again. This time a sense of failure on my part and something in his look brought a grin of embarrassment to my face. He looked at me steadily a moment and his hand passed slowly to the blue slip pad. Perhaps it was the note, or again perhaps it was that the play at the Burtis had been very good—I've always wondered. But I am sure his marvel- ous understanding of the individual has en- deared Mr. Marshall to thousands and has marked his life among us—successful. Harriet Townsend Basmann, 14. High School was opening in about a week and I had changed my mind about the course I registered for. The following took place in the office. Mr. Marshall: What do you wish to see me about, young lady -surely not about en- tering High School? You arc too small for this big school. E. J. D.: I am registered for commercial and wish to change it. Mr. Marshall: Change your mind, eh? Aren't even big enough to have a mind of your own, much less change it. Even at that size, the female already changes her mind. Well, I'll change your schedule, and I hope you will like it. Elsie J. Dai:, '14. Memory retains many incidents whicn poi- tray the unique and wonderful personality of Mr. Marshall. Space allows the recalling of but one or two. Spring calls to mind the usual annual ora- tion” given by Mr. Marshall at Auditorium on Encephalitis Lethargica (sleeping sickness) or kindred subjects. How he made us like it! Sarcasm — ? Well, if so, then tempered with such a subtle and kindly good humor that one loved it. No one need attempt a eulogy of Mr. Mar- shall. The hundreds of lives that he touched and helped so constructively is eulogy enough. Nor could words describe or follow the laby- rinth of far reaching imprints left on the minds of so many. The wonderful thing to me was that, not- withstanding his responsibility for those hun- dreds under his direct supervision, he was always able to keep in touch with and willing to help those who had gone. On no less than three occasions did he assist me after I had left school. Several letters and recommenda- tions. written by him to others about me, I have and prize most highly, one, particularly. XV -c. sent me while I was serving in the U. S. Navy, and two received while I was residing in Chicago. They arc of a personal nature, and I do not quote from them here. It is enough—he was my true friend yesterday— he remains a force in my life today! F. W. Richardson, '15. One evening about a year ago, a group of us were chatting with a friend who had taken teachers' training at High School in 1911, and now is teaching in California. Telling of ac- quaintances renewed on her visit here, Miss R. said: Oh, and I met Mr. Marshall today and had a nice long visit, and he is just the same as ever.” Miss Jane H., 32, spoke up, asking, Which Mr. Marshall, my Mr. Marshall from High School? “Yes, your Mr. Marshall, and my Mr. Marshall, was the reply. Well, then he is my Mr. Marsha'!, too,” said M. H., '18. W. S., '16, joined with And my Mr. Mar- shall and another. R. S , 17, hastened to add, And mine, too. And I was glad to unite with them, Mine too. Our young senior, class of 1932, was in- deed surprised and pleased at the oneness of our thoughts, as we all had a happy time re- lating experiences and claiming him as ours.” And we realized then, that our Mr. Mar- shall truly knew the secret of laughing at time and years, and so became endeared alike to all who had the pleasure of being one of his boys and girls. Harry R. Hf.f.schf.n, '15. George Edward Marshall did so much for me, I can never revere his memory enough. My High School recollections of him tumbling my hair as he came along the aisle or kissing me on the forehead are unique. Whoever heard of such a thing being done by a prin- cipal! The opportunity he gave me to work in his office has been of inestimable value to me in later life. From my first day at High School, fresh from the farm, when he put his arm around the tearful lad scared to death, with an encouraging word, I have known him as a comforting friend. C. L. McDowell, '16. Folks may say that Mr. Marshall was a man without hobbies: I'm quite sure he had one— his great love of flowers. Don't you remem- ber how he liked to wear a flower in his buttonhole—a rose, a cosmos: sometimes in early spring, a dandelion? He not only liked to wear them, he liked them in his home, on his desk at the office: he sent direct to Hol- land for tulip bulbs and took great delight in raising tulips: oftentimes he brought choice tulips to school and proudly measured the length of the stems. One of the funniest things I remember seeing Mr. MarshaU do was to cat part of the bouquet which was on my desk in the D. H. S. office. Oftentimes in the summer I'd have a bunch of nasturtiums on my desk; one day Mr. Marshall came into the office, stopped at my desk to speak to me, casualty helped himself to several nasturtiums from my bouquet and ate them. I gazed with astonishment. He said, Why, Leona, they're good; here, taste one! I always cat nastur- tiums. I didn't try one. but he ate several, flowers and stems as well. These little interesting sidelights about G. E. M. do have a place, but because I was so closely associated with Mr. Marshall for four years as a D. H. S. student and then nine years as his office secretary, I must close by saying once more what I have often said. ' Mr. Marshall was the very finest man I have worked with, and I know I shall never have a better employer. Leona L. Soehren, '16. George Edward Marshall was truly a GEM. He had the enviable quality of making you feel that you were his best friend, and that he was yours. Those who spent days and years in the Davenport High School under his direction look back upon them as the most precious of their lives. His unique personal- ity pervaded the school. Gentle and yet firm, affectionate and yet severe, scholarly and yet human, he was an influence in our lives we shall never forget. To experience his pat on the head, and to hear him lay down the law in no uncertain terms in auditorium periods were experiences that linger. He was a most emphatic man, and one knew exactly what he was talking about. I knew him not only as my High School principal but also as my Sunday School teach- er in Trinity Cathedral when I was in High School, and so profited by his knowledge of things Biblical and churchly. His death came as a shock to me and as a keen personal loss. Only a few days before he died I was thinking about him, and thought of how negligent I had been in going to sec him in recent years, and made plans to rectify my mistake very soon and drop in at the good old D. H. S. and have a personal chat with him in his private office. But. alas, he slipped into the Great Beyond quietly before I had carried out my intention, and I had to be content with attending his funeral. I take great pleasure, although mixed with sadness, in paying tribute to George Edward Marshall whom I counted as one of my best friends and whom many of us really loved very deeply and respected very highly. He sought not earthly honors, fame or promi- nence. He was content with his boys and girls blossoming into manhood and woman- hood whose lives he had been called to shape, each one of whom upon graduation he called by name from memory, because he knew each one personally. His work continues in the lives of those he sent forth in his long service at the Davenport High School. He did not live in vain, hut perhaps influenced for good more people in Davenport than any other person in its history. The Rev. Rodney F. Cobb, 17. Starting High School a month late as a freshman, 1 was rather awed by all the com- motion I found upon entering the building, and, reaching the office, was told to wait for Mr. Marshall. After half an hour of waiting, I was becoming rather restless and wishing it were over, when Mr. Marshall appeared. He immediately put me at ease and had me tell- ing him all about myself and the course of studies 1 wished to follow. Mr. Marshall never changed, only our friendship grew with the years. I always felt at home with him and will never forget the first time we met and his ability to set a restless freshman at ease. Lynn Fulrath, '17. I think back very happily to those years in High School. In all sincerity I believe they were, of all school years and there have been many of them—the ones most filled with zest and the sense of things that were great ac- complishments. Mr. Marshall! Well, his was the person- ality that gave the years their case, their charm. I can imagine now that he curbed our enthusiasms and our wild schemes, but at the time he seemed to be a willing accom- plice in all sorts of adventure. My particular enthusiasm. I remember, was dramatics. It still is for that matter, though there is all too little time for dramatics. 1 was the one delegated to go to see Mr. Marshall, tell him of our plans and ask his permission to form a dramatic club. It was a new depar turc, as I remember, and at first Mr. Marshall was rather skeptical of the plan. Neverthe- less, I went out of the office with his per- mission and his blessing. I have very definite memories of beady black eyes that on occasion could both snap and smile, of the quirk of the lips. But all those qualities that went to make the man, the very definite personality that is so very vivid, somehow defy description or explana- tion, at least my powers of explanation at the moment. Joe Jackson, '18. (But I was Joseph in High School.) George Edward Marshall was a friend of everyone who had the good fortune to know him. He had the faculty of giving a personal touch to all his acquaintances. He always made one feel as though he were his best friend, and in most cases this feeling was not exaggerated. It is a long time since I first came in con- tact with him, yet he still stands out as one of the most vivid personalities I have ever met. The neatness of his appearance and his never failing good humor were his earmarks. One always felt better after seeing him. There was a refreshing bluntness about him that endeared him to his friends. He never failed to speak his mind when the occasion war- ranted it. He was the friend of all young men. He was one of them. He never grew old. His viewpoint was of the younger gen- eration. He never looked down from the pedestal of old age. Students, past and present, of the Daven- port High School have lost a true friend. J. M. Chamberlin, '18. How well all of us must remember him! George Edward never to his face—but al- ways in familiar and affectionate reference. He knew everyone by his first name, or hers: and how he ever learned all those names, no one ever knew. And, no one ever needed to have George Edward designated as the principal he was identifiable at first sight. One remembers a gray clad figure in the corridors or the study room or on the stage of the auditorium—hair thinned to baldness and gray-white, and a moustache, and rapid small steps, a smile and friendly interest. One doesn't remember him startlingly, as in a cri- sis, because such things never arose under his calm authority; and if one had, he would never have treated it as such. He would have dismissed it with dry incisiveness of speech and something of a reprimand. He was the same, always—unchanged by the span of years between the first glimpse of him and the last—and he is unchanged in memory. W. H. Shorey, '19. One of my many pleasant and inspiring contacts with Mr. Marshall occurred in his inner-office. The firm and commanding terms of his secretary, Mr. Marshall wants you in his private office, changed from an order of fear to one of keen anticipation of fifteen minutes of real pleasure. The first request was made during my third year in High School. What fear I had on this occasion was immediately banished when he asked, How are you getting along? I really can't know much about these students unless I ask personal questions.” Other ques- tions followed. Why don’t you have your mother and dad come up here so that I may become better acquainted with them? How does Carl like college? Howard will be here in another year—is that correct? He discussed the past football games and showed a lively interest in my part of each game. Not a month passed in my last two years at High School without the welcome call from the secretary, Mr. Marshall wants you in his private office. Merle Makeever, '19. • • • Mr. Marshall has often been spoken of in gatherings both large and small as being the one man who could always be counted upon to adjust himself perfectly to the time, situa- tion or place, while at all times being at per- fect case. In my own opinion one of his best 1«! roles was being “one of the gang.” I clearly recall many instances in which Davenport High School was to meet other schools in football or track on the other school’s field. Our bunch was always eager to go, and of course that meant getting some Dad's per mission for the use of the family automobile. The father approached could always be count- ed upon to reply, “Well, what older person will you get to go along? and the chorus always answered, Let’s see if Mr. Marshall won’t agree to go again. He’s always a ‘good egg’.’’ L. R. Best, T6-M9. Mr. Marshall was beloved by all the stu- dents whom 1 knew without exception, be- cause he was so very fair and just. Often he gave a very necessary and cutting reproof be- hind a veil of cynicism or amused scorn which left the lesson to be learned without the bitter sting of a severe scolding. Once over, he forgave and the matter was not re- ferred to again. Another thing which I observed, which is rare and wonderful, was his remarkable hold on young people. We sometimes see a man who has a marvelous way to which boys arc attracted and which wins them; this he had, and the boys admired him. But, more than this, he possessed this same attraction for us girls. I have often taken him into my con- fidence about something and received advice from him. He seemed to be such a pal. Margaret Frank Gartmoee, ’20. Two Memories of Mr. Marshall The occasion was an auditorium period to work up interest in the first Music Apprecia- tion Contest back in 1920. Mr. Marshall was explaining the rules of the contest and, to show how simple it would be. said, I listened to some of the selections the other dav during one of the practice periods and found there were two or three numbers I knew; in fact, he added, “I would know them in the dark.” A beautiful and inspiring side of George Edward Marshall was, I believe, never better evidenced than in the never-to-be-forgotten eulogy he delivered on the occasion of the death of Stanley Nordengren, prominent member of the class of 1920. We, of that dass, dearly loved Sic, as he was known to us all, and Mr. Marshall, by his beautiful eulogy, made us realise all the more what we had lost. Richard E. Petersbergkr, ’20. It was with a deep feeling of regret that I first heard of the sudden death of my friend, adviser and disciplinarian, George Edward Marshall. He was the outstanding man in my High School education, and during my col- lege years it was a habit of mine to see him when I was at home. Many are the chuckles when I reminisce of the days when I used to hand in excuses for being absent. From the door to Mr. Mar- shall’s desk was short in distance but long in thought until the time arrived for me to move into position before the desk and I would he recognized with a Well, ahem. My ex- cuse was handed over; one look at the paper: a sharp glance at me, and he poised his pen- cil over the pad. A cryptic sentence: Your writing is getting better, Elmer. A blue slip, a feeling of relief. Legitimate excuse or not, the feeling lingered. Stern, yet kind, he was the cornerstone of my education. Ei.mp.r Laydf.n, ’21. Among his many fine qualities, Mr. Mar- shall was certainly unique in his kindly, inti- mate and. withal, most helpful interest that he took in the lives of literally thousands of his pupils. He had a way of taking an active and yet most pointed interest in a fellow that strengthened the ties between the pupil, Mr. Marshall and the pupil’s High School pro- gram. A typical illustration of this was the way he spurred me on to greater efforts in a math- ematics course in my senior year. I was in the cast of the senior class play and it was sort of an unwritten law that members of the cast would not be flunked in any subject. Mr. Marshall suspected (no doubt with good rea- son) that some members of the cast were put- ting a little too much faith in this unwritten law. I was in none too strong a position in my mathematics class. About three or four weeks before the close of school, Mr. Mar- shall stopped me in the corridor and said that it grieved him greatly to tell me that my chances of graduating were mighty slim be- cause I probably would not pass that mathe- matics course. Despite renewed efforts on my part, he would stop me every now and then and say that he was just afraid I would not make it. My probability of graduating was almost too slim to be measured, he said. On the night of the class play at the old Columbia Theater Mr. Marshall came back stage to pass on his pertinent remarks and reassuring pats on the shoulder. As he came to me he whispered that the miracle had hap- pened, that I had passed the course and would graduate. Later on he told me that he hadn't intended to tell me until the night be- fore graduation exercises, but Mrs. Marshall had thought it wasn’t fair to keep me in sus- pense so long and that it was at her request that he told me when he did. L x)king back, I realize how effectively he handled that situation, phrasing his remarks with just the right touch to have the most stimulative effect on me. He endeavored to inspire the pupils with whom he came in con- tact to develop themselves to their best ad- vantage, and he usually succeeded. Lawrence Evans, '21. One of my most cherished memories of Mr. Marshall is the warm and affectionate way he had of always calling me by my nick' name. Whenever I visited him in his office or passed him on the street, he refreshed me with his friendliness and understanding. The following conversation a short time before his death illustrates his genuineness and under- standing of hoys. I remarked to him that I thought it very strange that he didn't have a car after all these years—that it would be very convenient to run to town in as he so often had to. “Well, Skibbic, was his remark, “I don't want to bother with one of the things. Be- sides, what do I need a car to run to town in when any kid here in school would he tickled to death to get out of class for a little while? Robert Fox, '22. When one thinks of George Edward Mar- shall a scries of vagrant memories comes to mind. One recalls not so much any single event in which he figured spectacularly; rather, one reviews a host of kindly inter- views, salty scenes, friendly gestures. There were .... The innumerable times one passed down Main Street in the late evening and saw a tiny bulb burning high overhead in the prin- cipal's office. If one were disposed, he might enter the building through the basement door, climb the stairs, push into the official office— and find a friend. Lost in a smoke cloud of Blue Boar tobacco and a maze of formal re- ports. George Edward would be sitting there, fingering his pencil, seemingly awaiting just such an errant stroller. He would offer you his time and his rich and witty wisdom. And, you would become aware, presently, of the many formal photographs and more informal snapshots of those others who had preceded you in his affections. These he cherished— stuck in every convenient crack and corner of his big roll-topped desk—they were his laurels. And on the vacationary visits that a large group of D. H. S. alumni paid him these pictures would be drawn out fondly and chuckled over .... I remember, too, the profound and respect- ful quiet that prevailed when, on a fateful morning, he arose to deliver a sensitive and moving memorial to the president of the sen- ior class, who had died that day .... There was also that time when he discovered me sending frightening, disciplinary notes to an- other student signed, artfully enough, with the familiar Marshall signature. He rewarded me, not with a rebuke, but with the tedious assignment of signing a batch of his routine letters. And his eyes twinkled .... Then, who among his students fails to re- call his intermittent and unannounced visits to classrooms. Whether we were studying Latin, trigonometry, French or history, we would be subjected to an acid quizzing that was designed not to expose our ignorance but to spur our minds .... And there was his comic use of resounding phrases and ar- chaic words .... And, at the start of each semester, (even as it might have been whis- pered at the end of his life) his traditional speech of welcome beginning, “If there are any errors of omission------ Otis L. Wif.se, '22. I was thumbing through the pages of my 1922 class book, realizing for the first time perhaps the happy heritage that was ours in those crowded and contented years, when I came to the picture of Mr. Marshall. Once more I read his words, “As you recede into the background of happy memories you bear with you the lasting friendship and esteem of your sincere friend, George Edward Mar- shall. How like him was that simple senti- ment! Mr. Marshall has passed into the shadows. As he sleeps peacefully beyond Time I think back how very much his friendship meant to me. He was peculiarly aware of the problems I faced, the things I did, and conditions as they came. We wrote to each other frequent- ly and freely. That correspondence I cherish as highly as my little personal visits I had from time to time in his office. On Saturdays when Blackhawk editorial work was done, I would drop in and chat with G. E. M. If there had to be any stiff formality between student and principal, it was dropped for those intimate Saturday morning visits. Noth- ing I later learned from textbooks stood by me as well as the humble philosophy I gained from Mr. Marshall in our talks together. It is hard for me to think in terms of High School without bringing back memories of George Edward Marshall. I will always ad- mire the rare devotion and enthusiasm he brought to his daily task. I cannot feel that Mr. Marshall is gone. All of us have carried away something of the spirit that was his, for “to live in hearts we leave behind is not to die.’’ Philip D. Adler, '22. The writer was a member of the class of 1922, the last to spend a full four years— and then some—under the wing of George Edward Marshall. It may have been that Mr. Marshall saw with injured pride his temporal power over the youth of the town shortened a year by the advent of the junior High Schools, and it may have been pure presumption on the part of the members of my class, but it always did seem that Mr. Marshal] was closer to our group than to those who followed us. Conversation with members of both previous and subsequent classes would doubtless elicit the same senti- ment—“George Edward” made you feel that his sole purpose of existence was to sec you through the vicissitudes that High School discipline might bring. He was not what is called a merry fellow, yet put small store by that which commonly passes as dignity. He was too big to be bothered by the manifold problems of his charges; indeed, when things seemed to be all wrong, Mr. Marshall was at his best, grow- ing in stature in the eyes of the student every minute. I think he endeared himself to the greater part of the student body by the corn sistcntly jaundiced eye he turned on the grind, and, at the other end of the class, the loafer. He cared nothing about what one's grades were, except that if they happened to Ik very high, he thought they should be thus with less effort than when they were low. His anomalous viewpoint was that, by and large, real ability would be more likely to be found in the student having slightly below or slightly above average grades. With Mr. Marshall’s death, Davenport has lost a noble servant, and I, a loyal friend. But Mr. Marshall's influence on the school is deathless. No one will ever take his place there. In the school library, a motto hangs (or used to) which all should ponder, the while thinking of George Edward Marshall- I am what is. what shall, what hath been.” Richard Ballard, '22. There was something of the showman about Mr. Marshall (we didn't call him George Edward until after graduation). I shall al- ways remember his ability to rivet the atten- tion of his audience at assembly whether by his whimsical searching of his pockets for his notes and, incidentally, the emptying of the contents on the platform table, or by his grim, almost dreadful, seriousness which he displayed to the gentlemen of my junior class the morning he tried to seek out the culprits who had emblazoned the class numer- als on the Main Street portals of the High School building. Perhaps Mr. Marshall's most outstanding trait was his unfailing loyalty to the student body, particularly the boys, for I believe that he considered the girls no more than a necessary evil. I believe that it was in 1922 when the newspapers seized upon a rather garbled account of events and openly pointed the finger of shame at certain irregularities alleged to have occurred during the course of a High School party at the Blackhawk Watch- tower. The article did not pass unnoticed. Fred Speers and I, who were on the party committee, were promptly summoned to the front office bright and early the next morn- ing and Mr. Marshall, after due investigation, saw that a complete denial was published that afternoon. He was always ready and willing to light for the honor of Davenport High. Walter I. Hanson, '23. One of the oustanding characteristics of George Edward Marshall was his ability to handle young men in a diplomatic way. I remember an instance in particular when I was at odds with one of my instructors. I was sent to Mr. Marshall for a settlement of the difficulty. Mr. Marshall let me talk on and on with a long list of reasons why I thought I was right and the instructor wrong. Finally I grew bold and headstrong enough to say that I would not do as the instructor requested. Mr. Marshall looked at me in a kindly way and after some time said in a slow fatherly manner. Now, George, I wouldn't say that. Needless to say he completely won me over to his viewpoint, settling the difficulty quickly and leaving all parties concerned in a good humor and with a high respect for his ability as an arbitrator. Gno. W. Van Houten, '23. • • • When I recall my school days in Daven- port one event stands out clearly in my mind. I skipped school to hear the World Series. I thought I could slip one over on the prin- cipal; but my mother phoned Mr. Marshall telling him I had skipped school and was bringing an excuse written by a friend. As was Mr. Marshall's way, he let me think I was putting it over for half a day. Then he called me to his office. Instead of the usual punishment meted out by most principals he talked to me like a father. He pointed out a code of honor which I shall never forget. Mr. Marshall did much toward shaping the characters of the boys and girls with whom he came in contact. Leonard E. Hi nn, '24. It was in April, 1923, that the Boys' Glee Club left by a Pullman for Cleveland, Ohio. The occasion was the Biennial Con- vention of Music Supervisors, at which the Glee Club was to appear. It became the task of George Edward Marshall to guide the youngsters in their meanderings about the city. Those who participated will recall the fa- therly way that Mr. Marshall adjusted neck- ties. collars and the like before the jaunt from the Pullman to the Dutch Mill Cafe- teria. Here he would steer a long line of hungry Davcnportcrs through the many aisles. Each time on the way out he would make a careful and well enunciated count of the number before proceeding to the conven- tion hall. This always brought a burst of laughter in which he heartily joined. When the time came for the club to enter the stage Mr. Marshall was so busily engaged that he narrowly escaped being crowded on to the platform. Had the boys had their way he would have been. Each night there was much running back and forth from the car to the business dis- trict. On passing the “headquarters berth some brave fellow would peck in to sec if Mr. Marshall was asleep. If he was, then there was no necessity for asking permission to go to town. Mr. Marshall had the faculty for sleep- ing through more noise and boyish racket than could be deemed possible. Henry N. Neuman, ’24. George Edward Marshall was no doubt one of the best known figures in the State of Iowa, and one of the outstanding authorities on athletics, chiefly their organization in high schools. His popularity was one of the out- standing features at an athletic event. While a student at the University of Iowa, I had the pleasure of being the guest of Mr. Marshall at a Big Ten dinner. There were present at this event all the athletic directors and coaches of the Big Ten universities and also all the members of the respective univer- sity track teams that competed in the Big Ten outdoor meet on that day. As I walked into the dining hall of the Memorial Union with Mr. Marshall, he was immediately surrounded by a great number of men, among them being the Athletic Director of Purdue University, Mr. Yost, Athletic Director of the University of Michigan. A. A. Stagg, from the Univer- sity of Chicago, and many other prominent figures in the athletic field of the Big Ten schools, who greeted him with a warm hand- shake and with, How are you, George Ed- ward? He knew everyone and everyone knew him and they were all anxious to seek his views on the various problems that were confronting them. The respect and admiration that he com- manded from these prominent figures in the athletic world was paralleled with the love and affection that was shown him by his pu- pils. He had a good word for everyone: no matter what creed, color or nationality, to him they were all alike, human beings strug- gling for the same end and deserving the same friendly greeting that he gave to all. With the passing of George Edward Mar- shall ended the career of one of the most colorful figures in high school athletics in the Middle-West. Nathan Grant, '24. It is difficult to express one’s thoughts about friendship; there arc so many intangible things one feels which seem trite when ex- pressed in words, and which strike the hearer or reader as inconsequential, or silly, or worse. These thoughts arc none the less real, and, if intangible, arc certainly substantial enough to be valuable. Because abstract expression is so ineffectual, an incident may serve to ex- emplify those qualities which I appreciated and which, I am sure, endeared Mr. Marshall to those hundreds of children and men and women who knew him: The year following my graduation I saw Mr. Marshall frequently, since my youthful attentions were centered strongly upon a young lady then at High School. I assumed the extreme fondness which I felt for my former principal was mutual, and thereupon entered into a shameless exploitation of his friendship. I was exceedingly fond of my friendship and took no pains to conceal from the young lady that there were few things, if any, Mr. Marshall would not do for me; and it was to quiet a strong feminine skepticism on this point that I arranged the proof. Hav- ing during my High School years entered the inner shrine—Mr. Marshall's office—with lit- tle trepidation, I now brazenly went in with a request to sec the young lady who was at the time supposedly busy in the library. To my utter amazement Mr. Marshall entered in- to the spirit of the adventure (it was spring) and together we went to the library. In a minute he returned from within with a rather frightened young lady in tow, and, with no other indication that this was at all unusual than a more pronounced twinkle in his eye, this very sporting gentleman turned on his heel leaving a smug young man and a stupe- fied young lady standing in the corridor. John Keatley, '24. It happened one morning in early Novem- ber, 1923—that incident I like best to recall when thinking of George Edward. Study Room A buzzed excitedly. Roll call was being taken before students filed into the auditorium for a football pep rally. The rustle of papers, scuffling of feet on the floor and low whispers blended together in a sound I haven't forgotten in ten years. A hush fell over the study room. George- Edward” had slipped into the room through the center door, ('lad in a gray tweed suit and wearing a vivid blue tie of which he was inordinately fond, he turned down one of the aisles in that soft, measured tread. Hundreds of eyes watched him move down the aisle. Here he stopped at a desk and patted some- one on the head. It might have been Sis White or Lewie Warcham or Dutch As- man or Happy Jcbcns or anyone else in the room. A few steps further down the aisle he again stopped and exchanged a greeting. With whom he passed the time of day 1 don't re- member, but I repeat the statement it could have been with any one of the hundreds of seniors in the room. He knew them all. Reaching the end of the row, he turned and started up the aisle on which my desk was located. After greeting a couple of more students George Edward reached my desk and laid a newspaper clipping on it with the soft-spoken admonition, Do something about this! This. as he termed it, was the printed tirade of a Clinton paper against the Red and Blue football team which had lost to Clinton, 6 to 0, the Saturday before. Davenport’s loss to Clinton had knocked into a cocked hat the chances of the Red and Blue for a state championship that year. Clinton was crowing about it and George Edward's” ire was aroused. That afternoon John Keatley, Bob Goddard and I joined in writing one of the most radi- cal “anti-Clinton” articles which The Black- hawk ever printed. We put all the sarcasm and bitterness we could into that article. It was what “George Edward” wanted. “George Edward” was a good loser, just as he was a generous winner, hut he would not let the Red and Blue he trampled on after the game was lost. Months later it pleased him when Daven- port’s basketball team beat Clinton's quintet and later when Coach Jess Day's track team left Clinton, together with the other competi- tors, far behind in the Augustana indoor meet. Fred Speers, '24. Back in the spring of 1923 the last Kids Day put on by the senior class was in prog- ress. The seniors were organising themselves into a parade, and the juniors were waiting for a good chance to break up the parade. “Buck Brookhart and I were sitting out on the monument on Main Street getting all set for some fun. No doubt Mr. Marshall noticed us from his office window, for ere long he was hurrying down the walk in our direction. Say there, you two, I don't want to see cither of you mixed up in this rough stuff today. He didn't have to say a word more. We knew just what and how he meant it. As anxious as Buck and I were to throw a few eggs (not fresh) at the haughty seniors. Mr. Mar- shall's warning held us tighter than ropes. Herbert H. Jebens, 24. The figure of George Edward Marshall is closely bound up with the many memories I have of Davenport High School. It is difficult for me to realize that this genial, great hearted man no longer walks the familiar corridors, speaking to each student, remembering his name, his interests and ambitions. To me he was the embodiment of the great teacher, for with all his learning he had a place in his heart for every student of the Davenport High School. George Edward Marshall will not be forgotten. Wilbur F. Cannon, '25. Those years which were probably the greatest formative period of my life embraced a close association with George Edward Mar- shall. Many arc the occasions when I took refuge in his confidence for counsel, inspiration and aid. Social visits with him were among the happiest in my life: the rich memory of inti- mate contact with G.E.M. provides meaty substance for reminiscences. Any character so approachable and so in- delibly written on the minds of the legion that passed under his administration signifies a colorful personality a lasting memorial to his name. His last written message to me during my university days remains a prized possession. I am thankful for what he was to me: a true friend. Bert E. Derrv, '25. I can not fail to appreciate the interest Mr. Marshall took in me as a student and friend. I feel he had much interest in the girls, but boys were just his hobby. I recall many personal contacts with Mr. Marshall. During my senior year I was called to the office one day and Mr. Marshall greet- ed my perturbed look with his sympathetic understanding countenance and informed me I was to teach at Grant School the following two days. Filling a vacancy, I felt, was a huge task and I needed much encouragement. Mr. Marshall inspired me with confidence. Sev- eral weeks later he stopped me in the cor- ridor to inquire about the teaching. He never forgot anything. After graduating it was a number of years before I saw our friend, but he called me by name and inquired as to my teaching as a career and of LcRoy Wagner, the boy of my High School romance. Salesta Wendland Wagner, '25. In death few men live as intensely and as vividly as in life. George Edward Marshall is of that select category. The influence which he exerted over all who came in contact with him and particularly those in his charge was that of a friend and counsellor. Those of us who knew George Edward, and there arc many, were benefited by his quiet manner, his gentle philosophy, his unique insight, his tolerance and his homely idiosyncrasies. Here was a father of none but a father to many. Karl K. Vollmer, '25. I feel Mr. Marshall was a great psycholo- gist. I knew him very intimately, as I had many pleasant as well as unpleasant sessions with him during my three years under his jurisdiction. Mr. Marshall became very stern and effec- tive after a Juniors' Day when I helped shave a certain senior's head, and sent me home telling me never to come back. I left and re- turned every morning for about a week teas- ing Mr. Marshall to permit me to come back. When he felt I had been duly punished he permitted me to return. I never lost my good will or affection for George Edward, and I felt his kindly ad- vice was appreciated more as years rolled hy. Leroy A. Wagner, '25. This incident involved several fellows of my own age and our late Mr. Marshall. The filacc was the front section of Study Room B. t seemed that m::st of the fellows at that time were rather airminded. We had mis- spent our study period in the construction of paper aeroplanes and were delighted to see them soar and glide through the air; of course, the flight of each plane was timed so that the study room supervisor could not observe its graceful ascension and final landing. One of the boys was the then small Flea- bite” Rush. He was very much engrossed in the sport of the moment. One plane seem- ingly misguided made its landing several rows of scats away from him and in retrieving the lost plaything it was necessary for him to crawl on his hands and knees that he might not be seen by the teacher. Very carefully and cautiously Fleabitc crawled under the scats an it last held the treasured toy in his hands, -he return trip was likewise appar- ently successful. He reached his scat and slipped into it with a triumphant look of joy until he turned around and there standing beside him was Mr. Marshall. Fleabitc's face turned to a crimson red when he realized that he had been apprehended. What thoughts raced through his mind in the next few seconds no one ever knew. There was no doubt, though, that he visioned some severe punishment falling on his head. However, Mr. Marshall pierced through the element of misconduct and saw the humor of the situa- tion. He patted Fleabite on the head, crumpled the forbidden aeroplane in his hand and smilingly walked away. He knew “kids. Marlin Hakf.ndorf, '26. Memories of the late George Edward Mar- shall come flowing back to me. He isn't real- ly gone, for so much of his vibrant personal- ity lives on in the minds and hearts of stu- dents of the Davenport High School. 1 see him now in his natty gray suit, his flaming red necktie. His hand goes into his pocket, brings forth an immaculate handker- chief which he unfolds precisely. The morn- ing assembly period is officially opened. Mr. Marshall's appearance was that of an intelligent, alert individual. His bearing sug- gested a distinguished dignity. However, there was nothing austere about the man. It was evident he did not regard himself as the embodiment of Law and Order. Rather, he held himself a friend to all his students. Once he noticed a boy who looked some- what the worse for wear. His tones were coldly reproving as he inquired, Young man, what s the matter with you? Too much punch last night. Then the twinkle in Mr. Marshall's eye grew more pronounced. “Got any left? Kathryn Smith Butllr, '26. There is one little incident which I shall never forget which illustrates Mr. Marshall's keen sense of humor. During my senior year at D. H. S. I was the proud possessor of a rattletrap Ford roadster sans top or protec- tion of any kind. Knowing that I had a car, but unaware of the kind or its condition, George Edward called me out of class one day to drive him to a certain appointment. It was with some trepidation that I directed him to our means of transportation: however, my fears were groundless, for with a hearty laugh he said, ‘’Well, Jack, I'm not proud. Let's go.” Thereafter on even the coldest days it was a common occurrence for us to brave the ele- ments. with George Edward clinging to the side of the car with one hand and to his hat with the other. He afterward confessed that he became quite attached to the old puddle- jumper. I wouldn't take anything for these pleasant contacts and cherished memories of one of the staunchest friends I ever had. Jack L. Shumate, '26 Class President. It would not be unusual for a stranger to wonder why graduates were so often seen about the halls of the High School. The cas- ual observer could not realize that behind it all was a man whose character and personality was an institution - a man whose list of friends would approach the proportions of a city directory. With me, as with so many others, it was always a source of great pleasure to drop in at every opportunity and renew the friendship. Those frequent visits will be sorely missed by us all. Jack Soller, '26. BASEBALL ■ ■ While there arc scores of pleasant mem- ories of the one and only George Edward Marshall in my mind, one, which at the time was rather unpleasant, made the deepest im- print. It was one of those balmy spring days when the out-of-doors beckons so appealingly. Having only one afternoon class and dreading the prospect of spending the remainder of the afternoon in Study Room A, I decided to take French leave. Several of us were listening to the broad- cast of a Cubs-Giants baseball game in front V of a radio store on Brady Street, when Mr. Marshall walked up to us, placed his hands on two of our shoulders, and said, It's a fine day for a baseball game, isn't it? We were a little disconcerted to say the least, but Mr. Marshall soon made us feel at case. He re' mained with us for a while, listening to the game, as if it were perfectly natural that we weren't at school. Just before he left, how ever, he looked at each of us and. with a twinkle in his eyes, said, It's a shame, isn't it, that baseball games and this fine spring weather can't change white slips to blue ones? Several years later, while a student at the University of Iowa, I met Mr. Marshall in front of the Jefferson Hotel in Iowa City one afternoon. His first words were, Hello, Bud. What, no classes this afternoon? Or maybe there's a baseball game. How about it? George E. Bischoee, '26. Who doesn't remember our dear principal, Mr. George Edward Marshall, strolling through the study rooms? Occasionally he would stop at a desk and inquire how Dick was getting along in geometry, and tell Ruth how splendid her acting was in the last play. And those little words of encouragement meant a lot to us. The personal interest he took in his stu- dents, which numbered 1,400 at that time, was remarkable. He would write remarks on our report cards, and these were real inspirations to us. His gentle pat on the back of the ath- letes made them feel they couldn't lose the game for love or money. Mr. Marshall was one of us! I’ve even known him to get so chummy as to change neckties with the boys. He was always ready to help us. He wasn't a man who talked a lot, but he thought a lot, and the memory of him will live in our hearts forever. Helen Frahm, '27. To the thousands of us who passed our three prep school years under Mr. Marshall, his passing isn't quite comprehensible. We find it almost impossible to conceive the crowded corridors of D. H. S. without his familiar face hovering somewhere in the vicin- ity, because we had come to look upon him as an institution, an inseparable part of the High School we knew and loved. As one passes from high school to college and then on out into a not too kindly world one takes along certain memories of persons and incidents one has known-memories that arc not permitted to fall unmourned into the chaos of the past. With the most cherished of these memories filed neatly away in the breasts of D. H. S. alumni, Mr. Marshall is closely associated, and as long as they live he will live. Mr. Marshall is remembered not so much because he was a principal or because he was associated with a happy era in the life of all of us, but because he proved an understand- ing and lasting adviser. To the average high school student such a confidant is a rarity, for he considers himself misunderstood and most of his elders arc too hasty in their analysis to satisfy him. With the calm quiet and pa- tient air, born of years of association with his students. Mr. Marshall was able to fill that need for many of us. That debt of gratitude we will never be able to pay. Thinking back over the years (not too many of them) it is with little effort that one draws a mental picture of Mr. Marshall. His white hair, erect figure, slow easy gate, all stand out. Pushing these recollections for re- cognition arc memories of his ready wit, his quiet and deliberate manner of speaking and his smile. But it is necessary to stem this flow of reveries, lest accusations of trite sentimental- ism be rightfully levied. It is sufficient to close with one incident—one that to me is typical of the man. Strangely enough it happened after I had completed my High School term. I had re- turned rather condescendingly to my old haunts after a year at Columbia, full of stories of metropolitan wonders. During a brief conversation with Mr. Marshall I spoke glibly of the metropolis, my new alma mater and people I had met. Mr. Marshall listened quietly for I was doing most of the talking. When I began to run down, he remarked quietly, Yes, Lamoync, it's a wonderful city and you're mighty fortunate to be able to at- tend Columbia and to realize all that living in a large city means, but don't you find it a lonesome place at times? He had punctured my illusion with a word and I suddenly realized that he knew more about what I had been through during the last year than 1 did. Funny how you remember things of this sort after a few years. But as I said before no one will ever be able to repay the debt of gratitude we owe him. Lamoyne Jones, '28. Is was my good fortune to become quite well acquainted with Mr. Marshall during my regime as business manager of the High School Yearbook and student paper. While I was acting in that capacity, a particularly humor- ous incident happened. The episode occurred during a sunny spring afternoon when I, with Mr. Marshall's permission, walked into his office. Said I. Mr. Marshall, I believe I had better use the afternoon to get some advertis- ing for the next issue of our paper. At this very point, one of those lovable, frequent smiles appeared and then he said, That will be all right, Ellsworth, and—by the way—how is your golf game now? His ability to foretell my premeditated afternoon's occupation was slightly flustering, but Mr. Marshall alleviated the tense situation by a pat on the back and an expression of, Run along and have a good time. Since then, I have often thought of Mr. Marshall's deep human interest and under' standing. To me, at least, his handling of the situation was far more efficient than the use of a reprimand. Ellsworth Flrsch, '28. I shall always distinctly recollect as one of the inseparable elements of my three year stay at the High School, the kind, genial figure of Mr. Marshall. As he stood attentive- ly at the sidelines watching his proteges rep- resent the school on the gridiron, as he deliv- ered his terse announcements at the morning assembly period, or as he talked sympathetic- ally to some poor little lost sophomore girl, he represented the spirit of Davenport High. Keith I. Parsons, 29. Looking back in retrospective I see that even in the times when I was wrong or on the weak side of the picture that I could find guidance and assistance from Mr. Marshall after I had learned to differentiate between the principal and the man. Severe as his posi- tion may have demanded that he appear at times, his thoughts were seldom so. How many of us will forget that memor- able eighth period in A when the room got out of the supervisor's control, when aged eggs moved to new and sudden resting places, when nails clattered their way down the air chute. Then in response to a call to the of- fice our principal appeared at the back of the room. 1 think that he was felt before he was heard. Soon the room was deathly still as we all fell back somewhat abashed before his piercing eyes that showed how much he was moved by the scene. After that the room was in order without office assistance. On the night that I learned of the death of Mr. Marshall 1 joined in the group that ex- citedly rushed around at Iowa U. discussing this thing that just couldn't have happened. I think that within an hour all the Davenport- ers knew of it and were telling each other about it. And so it went—and it had to be true. When the alums filtered back from the var- ious schools shortly before the end of the spring term you would soon find most of them resuming their old strolling through the corridors, reviving old memories and acquaint- ances. This spring many of us will neglect to return to our corridor tours: to return would bring regrets that would wipe out the picture that Time is fast erasing of its own accord. Somewhere in our wanderings we would be greeted by the genial personality who was as solicitous of our welfare as he was in our love- smitten and exam-flunking adolescence. If we remained long enough we would meet him again. This time we would encounter a thinly disguised show at an attempted exasperation at our lingering and queries concerning our clforts to return when he thought he was rid of us forever. No, few of us will return to our rounds of the old school: for the alums there will never again be springtime in the corridors. Kenneth Ristau, 29. One of the first bits of information that I received on entering High School was, Be- ware Mr. Marshall: he doesn’t like girls.” I believed it all, and consequently I walked on my tiptoes past “George Edward’s ' office. After many encounters with him, I decided that Mr. Marshall didn't dislike girls. He was friendly toward many girls, but usually only after he had frightened them thoroughly. Once a girl saw through his bluff, she was never frightened again. Mr. Marshall often barked when he had no intention of biting. He no doubt had to do this as a protective measure. I never will for- get the time I went in to ask for a special Blackhawk staff meeting during school hours. He told me no” in no uncertain terms. I was ready to run, and I must have shown it in my face. He immediately began to ask for my arguments. Need I add that we had our special meeting? Now the occasion of the meeting was to present Mr. Marshall and the two advisers of The Blackhawk with books as Christmas presents. I am sure Mr. Mar- shall enjoyed his book all the more when he realized how nearly we came to not having that meeting. Nelle B. Traer, '29. When I feel discouraged and somewhat downhearted. I usually let my mind wander to the days when I was a carefree and some- what mischievous student at High School. There is one incident that always comes to mind and tends to make me forget my woes. Picture, if you can, a tall, lean, red-headed youth, seated at a desk in a study hall, gaz- ing intently and somewhat crestfallen at a copy of Cicero. This youth was myself. I had been having a great deal of difficulty with the translation of my Latin, and was resting my head on my hands with my elbows acting as props. While thus engaged, I heard light foot- steps in the aisle and felt a hand rullling my flaming mop of hair. A sympathetic voice asked. What's the matter, Reddy? I looked up, and there stood Mr. Mar- shall! I struggled for an answer and finally replied, I can't get this darned Latin. At his bidding I slid over in the scat, and he sat down. With scarcely a pause, he read passage after passage, and I was highly surprised, for I was of the opinion that no one could read and translate Latin without paus- ing for a considerable length of time at the beginning of each sentence. Suddenly he arose, and, with a Docs that help, Reddy? he departed as silently as he had come. So, when I feel discouraged and permit my mind to dwell on bygone days, I derive a great deal of comfort from my memories by pretending that I again hear light footsteps coming toward me. a friendly hand mussing my hair, and a kind voice asking, What's the matter, Reddy? ’ Robert Sass, 29. It has been well said by Emil Ludwig, I be- lieve, that 'tis the anecdote which best defines the personality, and many arc the sparkling anecdotes which flash from the brilliantly pol- ished facets of C. E. M.'s personality. But one side of his character in particular was ever a source of wonder to me—his disposi tion. Often jovial, sometimes gruff, and on occasions even severe, there was in everything he did an undercurrent of justice which ren- dered futile any inclination one might have to resist his discipline. I well remember one noon in the cafeteria when I was trying to do a hit of last minute translation before class, hut found progress impossible because of the unholy delight my companions took in annoy- ing me. At last when I could endure no more, someone came up behind me, burying both hands in my hair and ducking my head to the table. I swung about jabbing into my assail- ant's thigh an cvcrsharp pencil I was holding. Then, much to my discomfiture, I discovered that my tormentor was Mr. Marshall. But he merely shook his head and went limping down the aisle ruefully rubbing his leg. Austin Bowman, 29. In thinking over the memories of Mr. Mar- shall which I retain I have decided that the following sentence expresses my sentiments perhaps better than anything else I could write: “MY friend and interested in ME. I can say this because Mr. Marshall was like l at- Bertram Metcalf, 30. One morning during the first part of my 10B semester, I was hurrying to get to Study Room X before the last bell rang. In my dash down the stairway leading to the basement, I almost collided with a man coming up the steps. To avoid him. I clutched at the ban- nister, my books flying from under my arm and littering the stairway with loose papers. I myself sat down most suddenly upon the cement steps. And then I looked up and saw that the man was Mr. Marshall himself! Fairly purple with embarrassment, I stammered some sort of apology as he helped me to my feet. I expected, of course, that he would be angry, for students had been warned not to run through the halls or up and down the stair- ways. But, strangely, he was not angry. In- stead, he made some joking remark about ... . these little girls .... they study so late that they can't get to school on time in the mjrning,' and went off shaking his head, with the kind icst twinkle in his brown eyes. After that, I always thought of Mr. Mar- shall as he had looked that morning—shak- ing his head jokingly at the infinite stupidity of these little girls and smiling with his eyes. Often he would come into a classroom dur- ing a recitation and stand before the class with his arms folded, looking very solemn, as though about to make some drastic an- nouncement. Then suddenly his eyes would sparkle and he would make some very subtly amusing remark. At once the tension in the room would be gone, and the class would laugh with him. It was always that way, whether during an auditorium period, in a classroom or in his office—Mr. Marshall was never long without a joke—his eyes never long without their characteristic little twinkle. Elizabeth Broders, 30. George Edward Marshall, or more affec- tionately called “George Edward by many of us, was the most sincere friend and trusted pal any fellow student could wish for. We students will always remember him kindly, be- cause of his understanding ways and good sportsmanship. Many of us will remember that his frequent visits to the study room were always an- nounced by a familiar little cough, giving everyone a chance to put away his or her tomfoolery or entertainment detracting from studies. Mr. Marshall was always a great lover of athletics. His interest in his students and their success was so great that no matter how severe the weather or how busy he was, he always attended the games with a big smile and a friendly handshake for everyone pres- ent. I can truthfully say that during my years at D. H. S., Mr. Marshall was more like an understanding father than a principal to me. Ray Spore, 30. Most of us who were graduated from Dav- enport High in the class of 1930 can dis- tinctly remember what an inspiring person George Edward Marshall was. He was always in an exuberant mood and took an active part in nearly all of the student undertakings- - and now, three years later, he is gone. It can hardly be realised. A picture of that venerable man will always be impressed on our minds, especially as he stood before the student body in a general assembly, wiping his face with his large hand- kerchief just prior to the reading of the day's announcements. (He never failed to draw his handkerchief from his pocket during an audi- torium period.) The thought of him brings to me a remin- iscence of the study period during the sixth hour when he used to come in and walk down the aisles and say a few words to those who were in the room. Rarely would he ever stop at a girl's seat for he did not seem to be as interested in them as he was in the boys. He would creep up on you from the rear and run his hand through your hair, and more than once I bet he left the room with his hands greasy from the stacomb that the boys used then. He hardly ever missed a day to come in and help me get my Virgil (don't tell Miss Bates); and even as far advanced in age as he was, he could still read it fluently. Jerry A. Jurgens, '30. My experience as a former editor of The Blackhawk and the Yearbook of 1931 offered me the opportunity to come in contact with Mr. Marshall very frequently. Never on such occasions would he fail to give me a suffi- cient part of his busy time. At times a contribution to the paper was asked of him. Never did he fail to cooperate with the staff, although each time he would remark that he thought his words would be of very little interest to the students. The ac- tual student reaction was just the opposite. Most of his articles contained his ever-present humorous conception of events. I recall one in particular which explained the procedure of an intended High School picnic . . . “The weather man is going to be good, the music will be good, the sports will be good and the aforesaid 'hot dogs’ will be the best that ken- nels can supply. . . . Mr. Marshall's likeable characteristics were many, but I remember one that never failed to lend encouragement to me in various un- dertakings. Very often upon meeting him in the corridors he would approach me, place his hands on my shoulder, look me straight in the eye, and ask, “Is everything all right. Ernie?” If yes were the answer, he would appear satisfied and continue on his way. If “no” were the response, he would immediate- ly assure me that his support and authority were available to aid the situation. Ernest Huecksteadt, '31. of a half hour after school (did I mention before that the day was beautiful?), they decided to disperse and show up early the next day for blue slips. (Hope blooms eter- nal.) The officials, however, insensitive to the warm sunshine and sky, worked like demons. Telephone wires bussed all afternoon. The news had broken! And upon our return the blue slips were not forthcoming. There was a shadow on every brow as the group filed out of that room. I think I must have managed my shadow with greater skill than my companions, for I was stopped at the foot of the stairs and beckoned to the office. Mr. Marshall waited till every one else had left, then turned to me very solemnly ai)d asked if I had missed anything very serious. To which I woefully wailed “French and went on to explain how the river or any other form of self-destruction seemed as nothing compared to showing my white slip in that class. I was then ordered to remain as for- lorn as possible for appearance sake,—but in some miraculous way the ghostly paper began to assume a bluish cast. Elizabeth Keatley, '31. Jack and Joanne of tomorrow will never know what they missed. A tender pat, being called by your right name, Johnny or Mary, and a sincere inquiry into what interested you most and what was always on your mind at the time, whether it was public speaking, dra- matics or athletics, made you feel that you were not as insignificant as you imagined. I will always remember Mr. Marshall stroking his chin with his hand and flashing you an ever present smile of amusement. Mike Layden, '31. Mr. Marshall's odd brand of humor always pleased me. Due to his unusual ability of re- membering his countless sons and daughters, the application of his humorous sense was surely distinctive. My experience was involved in a letter I received from Mr. Marshall one summer while I was visiting out West. It was a torrid spell and on account of loneliness, his dis- comfort was increased. He wrote— Our July brand has been 100 to 105 right along. • • Things much the same here, only very quiet about the halls of D. H. S. I see some of our inmates now and then. Everything will be ready for you at the drop of the hat! Take care of yourself, son. Edgar Beckwith, '31. The little tragedy occurred one beautiful spring day near the end of the Jackson re- gime. All of the loyal subjects turned out in full for their fried hams on white or toasted peanutbutters. Time passed quickly due to the witty repartee of the gay company, and the call to duty approached without being heeded, until—alas, there was not a moment to spare! Realising only too late the great disaster and not wishing to face the disgrace For those who have attended D. H. S. with- in the last twenty years, to remember High School is to remember Mr. Marshall. Who can think of aud without seeing the man who walked across that platform, a sheaf of papers in his hand, and stood waiting until the bois- trous crowd before him calmed, feeling the power of his presence? There was his way of smiling, of stroking his chin, of making side remarks to those in the front row. There was his thundering voice denouncing this or that, which made the culprits squirm in their scats, and those who weren't feel as though they were. There were quips that sent ripples of laughter over the big room, remarks couched in terms far beyond high school vocabularies. There have been pep talks and pep talks from that stage, but none like Mr. Marshall's. He gave us a sense of importance, a feeling that after all we weren't youngsters any more, but young men and women who could do things. Awards were always being made athletic, forensic, commercial. No matter how many there were, he had a way of pausing before each that set it apart. Stentorian tones an- nounced the winner: the vibrant silence as he walked up the aisle, the flip of the hand as he received his trophy, the nod, friendly smile and word of congratulation that went with it set him apart from all those hundreds in the background; he was an individual. In a school that large it was impossible that the average student should have extensive personal contact with Mr. Marshall. Yet he was never a mere figurehead: only the very bad and the very good knew him individual' ly, but the rest of us knew him personally. He did not have the remote, pedestal position that heads of large institutions arc apt to. The man who strolled through study hall, with a nod here and a word there, was a man who knew young people and understood them thoroughly. He was familiar with their young mistakes, but he respected their potentialities. That is why Mr. Marshall is so inseparably a part of the high school lives of several thous- and young people. Janet Redpield, 31. I am taking the liberty of recalling several incidents in an effort to portray the influence of Mr. Marshall over one of the many grate- ful students whose lives he guided and shaped. I remember one hot, sultry, June afternoon in a crowded study hall. It was the last per- iod, and there was an air of restlessness and nervous tension hovering over all. I was a freshman, and as such, was making an in effective and half-hearted attempt to grasp the meaning of one of Caesar's experiences in his Belgian campaign. The assignment was but thirty lines long, yet over half the period had passed and my wandering mind had suc- ceeded in translating but one sentence. In fact, at the very moment I was dreaming of a cool swim when I felt a soft hand gently placed on my head and heard a low voice murmur in my ear, “That looks rather familiar, son: let’s see how much I can remember. Looking up in astonishment and recognizing Mr. Marshall, I moved over in my seat, though I could not imagine exactly how he and I were going to subdue Julius Caesar. He s;it down beside me, and inquired where we began. I determined to make the most of this heaven-sent opportunity and started him a full page back of the day’s work. He placed a long finger on the first line and in a loud whisper began to translate. I do not recollect the passage, but I surely have not forgotten his method of translation. One moment he would almost hurl an entire sen- tence forth, the words fairly tumbling over one another in his eagerness to get them out from below that little moustache: the next few moments, only one word would escape: every now and then he would stop entirely and give me an impatient and gently chid- ing look which I usually interpreted as ask- ing for the meaning of the particular word his finger lighted on. As a whole all went smoothly, although we had to skip one or two phrases that neither of us could quite straight- en out. Just before the bell rang, he finished with a note of triumph in his voice. Another pat on the head, a That’s enough for to- day, and my fellow translator had gone. Three years passed. The book was Virgil’s Acncid: the place was a small classroom with but ten fourth year students, not the crowded study hall. The period had just started, and the gods had decreed that I should be called upon to inform my classmates of the de- scent of Aeneas into Erebus. The only dif- ficulty was that while my translation was sup- posed to be prepared, it was by necessity go- ing to be a sight effort. I cleared my throat, put a knowing look on my face, breathed a prayer to Jupiter and muttered a few words. A glance at the frowning brow of the shocked teacher convinced me that those few words were wrong. I started over again in despera- tion; however, the gods had heard me, and relief was not far off, for at that moment the door slowly opened and Mr. Marshall walked in. He looked at me, turned to the instructor, and asked, Where arc we now? Here, Mr. Marshall, right here, I almost shouted, thrusting my book into his hands. Hrnmm, harder than I thought! Let’s hear you translate it, Robert. There was a twin- kle in his eye as he made this last remark that seemed highly suspicious. I endeavored to pour my whole soul forth in an appealing glance at him. For once 1 was successful. There is no sense in hearing you recite, Robert, for I’m positive that you know it: let me have your book, and I’ll see how much I can remember. I never could be sure, but I am almost positive that he slightly drew down the eyelid over his left eye as he made the last statement. One more incident and perhaps our frag- mental picture will assume a more definite form. The time was after my graduation in September, 1932. I was preparing to return to college, but before I left Davenport like a magnet the old High School drew me to its precincts. I slowly walked up the broad stairs, paused a moment in the halls, and then turn- ed instictively and entered his office. Sure enough, there was Mr. Marshall behind the counter, and my heart leaped as I watched his face light up at the sight of me. Then followed the same old pat on the head, the same old hearty greeting, the same, never failing interest in my college activities. I mentioned the recent reports of his illness; he laughed, and I thought no more of it. 1 do not remember all we said. At last the time came for our parting; and I can still feel his hand on my head, sec his eyes with just the trace of a tear in them, and hear his voice with but the suggestion of a break in it. I’m mighty proud of what you have done. Bob. and I expect even greater things of you in the future. Don’t forget me when you are away—drop me just a line now and then, and the first time you are home, don’t fail to see me. God bless you, boy. Robert Kramer Jr., '31. One of our instructors had been obliged to leave the class for a full period and had no sooner departed than the students decided to conduct things in their own manner and pro- cccded to enjoy a great deal of noise. (1 was informed afterwards that a class in the room below were afraid that the plaster might fall on them.) Things were at their best when into the general pandemonium walked Mr. Marshall, who after eyeing us speculatively for a mo- ment, remarked, You fellas pipe down and make it snappy. With this bit of advice he walked from the room leaving us to ponder upon things in general—in deep silence. A little later in the day when Mr. Marshall saw me, he winked and said, Too bad I had to interrupt the party. Esther Klein, '32. One day as my senior class was reciting on early English literature, Mr. Marshall came in and began firing questions about the Bible at the highly rated seniors. Those who re- member Mr. Marshall's knowledge of the Bi- ble will realize the fact that the seniors were due for a workout on this subject. Mr. Marshall fired the first question at me, because I was half asleep. He wanted to know why the characters in the early English novels, plays, and poems were frequently named Peter, Paul and John. 1 finally ans- wered this question after beating around the bush for several minutes before I hit upon the answer that it was because these were saints' names. I settled back in my scat with a sigh of relief; I was through for the day in English. The final outcome of the Bible test was not so good for the seniors and Mr. Marshall de- cided that we could spend a few hours to good advantage in Bible study. William Ritter Jr., '32. Mr. Marshall always acted as a second fa- ther to me. watching my wandering steps lest they lead me into mischief, yet ever ready to help when the occasion arose. He won my instant admiration by possessing complete faith in the ability of my Ford, so that we spent many enjoyable hours riding together. In my opinion he was one of the few great educators that could see the same things the students saw. His, Come on, fellows, how about a big D? will perpetuate his memory. John Bornholdt, ’32. A group of about thirty students were standing at the Main Street entrance, talking and laughing. What a grand day to play hooky! was the general exclamation of the crowd. It seemed an unusually long period, but still we didn't hear the bell. Suddenly some- one looked at his watch — was it wrong? No. it couldn't be! But it read 1:20! We were late! Then thirty frantic boys and girls rushed into the building. At the top of the steps stood Mr. Marshall and directed us to Room 19 where he took our names and numbers. For our carelessness he told us to leave for the rest of the day. “But what shall we do? asked a brave voice. Do anything you like. I don't care what you do. Go up to the park and feed the swans, was the reply. But we haven't anything with which to feed them, someone ventured. Well, here's a nicklc to buy some crack- ers. Those were the orders meant presumably severe, but who could escape seeing the twin- kle in his eye? Dorothy Schuller, '33. The following is an excerpt from the speech of Mr. Marshall at the Noncommissioned Of- ficers Club meeting during the spring semester of 1932. The place was the Lend-A-Hand Club and the meeting occurred on the eve- ning following inspection. You looked fine to me. fellows; of course, I don't know much about military inspections, but I was proud of you. Of course, some lit- tle nut had to fall on his nose right in front of the inspector. I never could quite figure why he didn't pick some place in the rear where no one could see him. Ned Young, '33. Things We Remember About G. E. M. The pink shirt. The green necktie. The corncob pipe.
