EX LIBRIS BLACKHAWK ANNUAL PUBLICATION OF THE SENIOR CLASS OF THE DAVENPORT HIGH SCHOOL— 1934 VOLUME SEVENTEEN FOREWORD Though one cannot expect to have reviewed in one small volume the conv plete story of the student body of the past three years at D. H. S., we have endeavored in editing the 1934 edition of the yearbook to present enough of those days to recall pleasant memories. DEDICATION This volume, we dedicate to Mr. A. I. Naumann for the zealous interest he has taken in all student activities and the personal concern he has shown for the stU' dents during the short time he has acted as Principal of the Davenport High School. TABLE OF CONTENTS CAMPUS FACULTY CLASSES ATHLETICS R. O. T. C. MUSIC SPEECH ACTIVITIES PUBLICATION CAMPUS The Monument Page Ten FACULTY 1934 Yearbook With the close of this school year comes the completion of the high school life and training for the graduates of 1934. No longer do they hear the call to duty and opportunity in the Davenport High School. To the graduates this may bring feelings mingled with joy and regret. It may bring joy because of the successful completion of the program of studies that have been pursued, and regret for the fact that the friendships formed at high school can never be realized again so closely as in high school days. With the dawn of a new era the graduates of 1934 go forth to meet the chal- lenges of this new day. The hope and wish of every member of the faculty of the Davenport High School is that each graduate may successfully meet these challenges, and that the preparation received in educational and moral training may be of value in meeting the issues of life. Go forward with hope and confidence in yourself. Be assured that your success and happiness will bring satisfaction to all who have had a part in your training. A. I. Naumann, Principal.

Ross and sponsored by the Dramatic Club.

R.) 7 Totals 102 99 Although the Davenport gridders under the tutelage of head coach, Jesse E. Day, and assistant coach, C. E. Bridge, could claim no championships during the course of the 1933 football season, they established a very creditable record, winning sixty per cent of the games out of a teivgame schedule. John Hayward, who played outstandingly as a Red and Blue wingman, was given special distinction by being placed on the mythical All State third team. The opening game of the season found Davenport in Iowa City. Stephenson, acting captain, and Ashby played exceptional games, as the Daymen crushed the Little Hawks to the tune of 21 to 7. Iowa City scored its lone touchdown due to a fumble on the thrceyard line. The initial home appearance of the Red and Blue was on September 30, with Page Sixty 1934 Yearbook Tilden Tech, of Chicago furnishing the opposition. The second victory of the season was registered as the home team accumulated 251 yards from scrimmage as compared to 44 for the Windy City team. In spite of these figures Tilden put up a strong defense in the shadows of her goal posts. Boh Johnson, guard, and John Hayward, end, were outstanding in the Davenport line. Ivyl Swanson was elected captain for this game. One might say that the Davenport outfit “hit the dust when they played East High of Des Moines if anyone could find any dust on the rain dampened field that day. At any rate, East High pushed over a touchdown in the final period after the count had been knotted at 7-all at the half. The Daymen played a rather listless game and probably would have suffered further humiliation had the gun not ended the game with the ball on the Red and Blue two-yard line in Des Moines' possession. The tilt was played under the leadership of James Dishinger. Davenport returned to its winning stride in the nocturnal fracas at Muscatine. In the second period a Muskie punt was blocked on the 10-yard stripe and recovered behind the goal line, thus giving the Red and Blue two points. It seemed that these two points were going to complete the scoring for the evening until Naeckel, reserve quarter, intercepted a pass on the Muscatine 32-yard line followed by a sneaker, Ashby to Hayward, for six additional points. This final spurt occurred in the fourth period. The team honored Bob Johnson with the captaincy. The dope bucket was upset when Moline was handed a defeat by the acting cap- tain, Bill Campbell, and his mates. The Swedes scored early in the first period on a blocked punt, while Davenport confined its scoring to the last half with six points in the third quarter and seven in the fourth. The Red and Blue piled up twelve first downs to four for the opposition, due largely to the stellar playing of Gordon. Davenport accepted its worst defeat of the year from Ottumwa. The Bulldogs crossed the goal once in each of the four periods to score a 26 to 0 victory-. The Day- men took the ball on the opening kick-off, and it really Uxiked as though they were on the path of victory when they marched to the Ottumwa 10-yard line, but the ball was lost on a fumble. From then on it was “all Ottumwa. Hayward was captain for the occasion. In the next game Rock Island resorted to the aerial route to conquer the Daymen 13 to 0. Guy Gordon was elected captain for this tilt. Ashby was the only consistent ground gainer for Davenport, but he could not offset the results of two long Crimson and Gold passes, each good for touchdowns. Bud Foster was chosen captain for one of the big games of the season, Home- coming, against Clinton. Forty former D winners were present in a special section, and between halves letters were presented to seven members of the Red and Blue team of 1893. After the up-river team had secured a 6 to 0 lead at the half-time, Davenport came back strong to push over a touchdown and subsequently make the extra point for a 7 to 6 victory. Johnson and Dishinger, the guards, played outstandingly for the winners. The Red and Blue ran into numerous tough breaks at Dubuque. They not only lost the game by a 14 to 13 score but with it the Mississippi Valley Conference championship. Dubuque scored seven points in both the first and last quarters, while Davenport counted seven in the second and six in the third. Forty-eight hours after this tussle the Daymen finished the season with a decisive 20 to 7 victory over Grant High of Cedar Rapids. During the tilt they registered fourteen first downs to two for the Bunnies. Bob Johnson was elected honorary cap- tain for the season and consequently led the team in the finale.

Rosing and Harold Money, was undoubtedly one of the best ever produced at the Red and Blue school. During the process of winning eight games and losing only to the DeWitt varsity team, and that by the scant margin of one touchdown, this grid machine accumulated a total of 154 points as compared to 13 for the opposition. A cup, symbolic of the Quad'City sophomore championship, was awarded this season for the first time. The Rosingmen brought it home without dispute, and it now adorns one of the D. H. S. trophy cases.

Moon, did their share toward bringing athletic glory to the Red and Blue school. During the regular season Quad-City and Mississippi Valley Conference titles were captured by the basketeers. Not being satis- fied with these victories, they went on to win the Sectional and District championships and advance to the quarter-finals in the play-off for the State championship. The Moonmen inaugurated the season on December 15 at the George Edward Marshall Gymnasium with Clinton furnishing the opposition. Coach Harpers five was swept aside to the tune of 17 to 13. Hayward led the Red and Blue in the scoring column. The John Deere Gymnasium was the scene of a rather rough game the next eve- ning between Davenport and East Moline. Seventeen fouls were charged against the Davenporters, while six less than that total were registered for the Orange and Black. Davenport emerged the victor. The outcome of the Davenport-Iowa City game on December 22 was never in doubt. The little Hawks were trailing 24 to 8 at the half and fared little better during the last two cantos. Moburg played outstandingly for the winners. With Sonny Gambcr setting the pace for the Red and Blue, Washington High of Cedar Rapids was crushed 30 to 19. Coach Moon used eleven men during the evening and each combination proved successful. This was the second victory in two days. Moline put up a real battle on December 29 and retired at the half time sporting a two-point lead. However, the Maroon and White wilted before a powerful second- halt attack led by Captain Roy Schiebel and soon found themselves on the short end of the score. In the tilt of February 5 Davenport encountered more opposition than was anti- cipated but managed to defeat Grant High of Cedar Rapids. Close guarding by the Red and Blue was a feature of the game. One of the season s most exciting encounters was that against Rock Island, Feb- ruary 11. The Crimson and Gold were leading by six points at the half, but the Davenporters finally crept up, and, with less than a minute to play, Schiebel garnered two points to tie the score. An overtime period was necessary. The Islanders promptly took the lead again with a field goal, but Gamber came to the rescue for Davenport with a dribble-in shot for two points and with a free throw about thirty seconds later which won the game. The M(x)nmen experienced little trouble on January 12 at Dubuque and breezed along to a 30 to 20 victory. January 16 marked the final appearance of Hayward and Moburg under Daven- port colors. The tilt was played against Muscatine. Coach Kinnans crew held a 10 to 7 advantage midway in the game but were swept aside in the last half. Schwarte and Dohsc led the scorers. In the return engagement with the Muskies Captain Schiebel collected 14 points. This time Davenport had a nine-point lead at the half, only to have the Purple and Gold creep to within two points before the gun sounded. On January 26 West Waterloo handed the M x nmen their only setback of the regular season, 25 to 24. The Red and Blue held a two-point lead at the conclusion of the third quarter but could not keep it. The excellent guarding of Kenny Karstens was noticeable throughout the tussle. Another rousing game was staged on February 2 with Grant High, the opponent. Nineteen-all was the score at the final gun, and another extra session was necessary. The Grantmen opened the period by piercing the basket for two markers. Gamber came through on a gratis toss and Dohse batted in a follow-up shot for the winning margin. The following night Davenport jumped into an early 12 to 5 lead in the first quarter of the Moline scuffle, but by the conclusion of the third stanza each side had Page Sixty four 1934 Yearbook collected a total of 22 points. The Red and Blue five suddenly came to life again in time to sew up the game. The Moonmen walked away with the Key City quintet on February 9. The Dav- enport mentor had an opportunity to try out some of his reserve material. He used 14 men including Lenvil Simmons, who had been promoted from the sophomores. The new member headed the scoring list. By downing the East Moline aggregation on February 13, Davenport safely tucked away the Quad-City championship. East Moline showed a strong defense but failed to stop Simmons, who scored 14 of the Red and Blues total of 19 points. Three days later Davenport made good on 11 free throws in 14 attempts to defeat Rock Island 27 to 20. The losers were ahead 13 to 10 at the half. Simmons, Schiebel, and Karstens starred. Coach Moon substituted freely in the Iowa City engagement on February 20, which action is indicated by two things: namely, the starting five scored only nine points and Davenport won 32 to 14. The Moline Dispatch trophy, symbolic of the Quad'City supremacy, was presented at this game. It becomes the permanent posses- sion of Davenport, the first school to win it three times. The last scheduled game found the Red and Blue sadly off form and forced to come from behind to conquer Clinton. This victory gained for Davenport undisputed championship of the Mississippi Valley Conference. SECTIONAL TOURNAMENT The Sectional Tournament took place in the D. H. S. gymnasium on March 1, 2, and 3. Lyons, the first foe to face the Red and Blue, was disposed of with little effort. After the first team had piled up an enormous lead in the opening canto, Coach M(x n used his reserve material for the remaining three quarters. Schwartc and Sim- mons were the high scorers in this 48 to 15 victory. Clinton was the second quintet to fall before the Davenport forces. The game was a thriller; it was not until the closing minutes that the Davenport fans could sit back and breathe easily. The last night of the tourney marked the third time during the 1933 34 basket ball campaign that the Muscatine five attempted to whip the Davenport aggregation. Again the down river team proved incapable of the task and were handed a 27 to 12 setback. DISTRICT TOURNAMENT A stubborn DcWitt outfit gave the Mtxmmen a scare in their opening engagement of the District Meet. After the first quarter, which ended 10 to 2 in favor of Daven- port, the Red and Blue lost their usual form and were lucky to emerge with an 18 to 14 victory considering the fact that the Clinton county five missed ten free throws. A 29 to 23 victory over Washington High of Cedar Rapids gave Davenport the right to represent the second district in the State finals at Cedar Falls. Although out scored in the second half, the Red and Blue held an early lead throughout the fray. STATE FINALS Swinging into action on March 15, Davenport passed the first barrier with a minimum amount of trouble. Clarinda was the victim to fall by a score of 46 to 30. At no time during the contest was Clarinda a real menace to the Moonmen. The Red and Blue cagers were eliminated the following afternoon when they lost a heart-breaker to the classy Burlington team. The second period opened with the Davenporters holding an 11 to 9 advantage, but they failed to score during the period and lost the lead. The count at the half time was 16 to 11. In the final quarter the score was tied at 20-all before Burlington completed the point-making for the afternoon with a field goal. Davenport had several last minute chances but failed to deliver. The game wrote “finis” to an extremely worthwhile campaign, Davenport winning 23 and losing only 2 games. Five members of the team were honored by the Iowa Daily Press association in the selection of All-State material. Captain Roy Schiebel was chosen for a center position on the first team, and Simmons, Schwarte, Dohse and Karstens were placed on the honor roll.

E. Bridge, established a season record for which they can be justly proud. Losing only three of their scheduled games, they annexed the Mississippi Valley championship and also the Quad'City and Tri'City crowns. Another cup for the trophy case is the result of the Conference supremacy. Page Sixty'Six 1934 Yearbook WRESTLING The Davenport wrestling team, coached by O. E. Johnson, was recognized this year for the first time by the Athletic Commission. During the season the Red and Blue grapplers met the Clinton grunt and groan men four times but emerged vie torious only once. They also lost two engagements to the Dubuque team. Bud Foster and Lester Borgus, the mainstays of the Davenport aggregation, each received a D for their efforts. TRACK When Coach Jesse E. Day began to form the 1934 track team, he found little experienced material with which to work. The first meet of the season was the Mississippi Valley Conference Indoor event, held at Iowa City on March 24. Clinton was the winner by one-half a point over Washington High of Cedar Rapids, the latter collecting 56 markers. Davenport cap' tured third place, scoring 46 points. The Red and Blue earned three of a possible five places in the pole vault. Schiebel set a new record, and Lund was second. Swanson and Barber placed first and second respectively in the shot put. One week later the D. H. S. thinly clads again competed at Iowa City and finished sixth out of a field of 46. This was the State Indoor Meet, which was won by North Des Moines. With a vault of 12 feet 4 inches, Roy Schiebel set a new interscholastic record. This was but one of the eight records to fall. Lund tied for third place in the pole vault, and Fred Teufel was fourth in the 440-yard dash to complete the scoring for the Red and Blue. Tuesday, April 10, marked the initial outdoor appearance of the cinder path artists. Davenport won this dual meet with Muscatine to the tune of 88 2 to 65 , Schiebel, Barber, Lawton, and Martens being the chief point earners for the winning team. The half mile relay team looked exceptionally good as they clipped off the dis- tance in 1:34.1. Grand slams were registered by the Red and Blue in both the discus and pole vault. The Davenport speedsters outscorcd the entrants from Rock Island 80 to 55 in the dual meet on the latter's oval, April 14. At the same time they established two new stadium records: the mile relay quartet, composed of Fred Teufel, James Hanson, Carl SchifF, and Carl Teufel, bettered the mark set by Rock Island in '32, and Schiebel easily cracked the pole vault record made by a Moline athlete in '31. On Tuesday, April 17, the Davenport sophomore track team engaged in a dual meet with Muscatine and emerged the victor by the score of 67 to 64. The Red and Blue gained all places in the 120-yard low hurdles, the javelin, and the discus. A supposedly strong Moline track team proved to be easy prey for the Red and Blue on April 21. The Plow City crew gained only four first places out of the fifteen events, thereby losing the meet by a score of 41 to 90. Ted Martens, the Teufel brothers, Moore, Barber, Lawton, and Schiebel were the stellar performers for Daven- port, while Hart and Decloet paced the Swedes. As the Yearbook goes to press, the following meets are yet to be held: April 28, Dubuque at Davenport: April 28, Drake Relays at Des Moines: May 5, Gateway Classic at Clinton; May 12, District Meet; May 15-16, Quad-City at Davenport; May 19, State Meet at Grinnell; May 26, Conference Meet at Davenport.

SUMMARY The ever growing High School Regiment increased in membership from 490 last year to 510 this year. To help accommodate this larger unit, the government raised Davenports quota from 352 to 452, which is the largest single increase ever given to any high school or university. At the same time the R. O. T. C. headquarters for this area sent equipment for 100 cadets, including packs, for Companies “C” and “D' It was decided by the War Department to equip this unit with olive drab serge uniforms of a style and quality far superior to the wool uniforms used at present. These, however, will not be ready for delivery before next semester. The unit was inspected informally on October 25 by Colonel R. H. McMaster, the R. O. T. C. officer of the Seventh Corps Area. He expressed general satisfaction with the condition of the regiment here. The Yearbook goes to press t x early for the results of the annual federal inspection, which took place May 16 with Capt. Eugene H. Mitchell of Omaha officiating. An honor rating entitles the members of the regiment to wear a red star on the right sleeve. The advance in standards can be attributed largely to the work of Captain Lewis E. Reigner, who has been with the school less than two years. The officers of the corps, through the Junior Reserve Officers Club, presented both Captain Reigner and Sergeant Barlow with appropriate gifts in recognition of their successful efforts to maintain and improve the regiment. The unit participated in the Armistice Day parade, after which it formed a Cordon of Honor for the saluting gun at LeClaire Park. Early in May the annual Competitive Drill was held at Vanderveer Park. Companies, platoons, and squads were exhibited in drill before the board of judges, consisting of prominent local mili- tary men, who determined the winners. The company most proficient in drill and the manual of arms was presented with a placque by the 185th Field Artillery of Davenport. The best drilled platoon was presented with a placque by the Davenport American Legion, and the winning squad received a similar trophy. These placques were engraved with the names of the winners. All members of these organizations received the authorized merit bars also. In addition the commander of the winning company was presented with a regulation army saber, engraved with his name, which becomes his permanent possession. A five dollar prize was given to the year's most progressive cadet by the P. M. S. 6? T., and Principal A. I. Naumann was the donor of a similar prize. The Praetorian Guard was reorganized this year, limiting its membership to the tallest 75 men in the regiment. This unit forms a guard of honor for special occasions such as inspections and the visits of distinguished military and civil authorities. To give recognition and distinction to cadets whose academic standards are especially high, an additional merit bar has been adopted, which the cadet earns by receiving E” records in all scholastic subjects for one semester. This is a blue bar, known as the Colonel O'Brien Award, in honor of the Regimental Commander of the first semester, worn on the left sleeve. Other merit bars were earned by various cadets in the fields of topography, personal appearance, exceptional service, honor, combat service, and organization competitions. The Girls' Rifle Team has had two meets this semester: one with the Sophomore Boys Rifle Team; the other with the Varsity Boys' Team. They won both meets, the first by a large margin, the second, by a scant one. The girls who make a certain score in the four positions will receive a chenille “D. Membership for the Boys' Rifle Team this year was determined by competitive shooting among all cadets of the Regiment. Out of seven matches entered into only three were won. A shoulder-to-shouldcr match with Roosevelt Military Academy on the home range was won by the Aledo school 2392 to 2373. A return match was won by Davenport 2336 to 2331. The Davenport team was defeated 830 to 819 in a match shot at Iowa City with the high school team there. A match between the Davenport first team and the sophomore team was won by the varsity group 1547 to 1215. A handicap match was fired with the Girls' Rifle Team, in which the scores of seventeen girls counted against the scores of ten boys. The girls won by a scant mar gin. Two postal matches were held: the first, with the Waukegan High School team, was won by Davenport; the other, with the Evanston High Sch x l team, was lost by the score of 3657 to 3642.
