Dorothy started her work long before school began in the fall and selected as her theme, “Keys and Keyholes.” After early explanations of “what to do” and “what not to do,” the pages began to take form and meaning, while exhausted minds groped for new ideas. The students of DHS little realize how often year- book workers are on the job. With the completion of drawings, lay-outs, copy, ads, pictures, and the myriad de- tails to be cared for, the staff look with pride upon the completed “masterpiece,” our 1953 Blackhawk. If it becomes a treasured keepsake, our work has been amply rewarded. Grouped in accordance with their various jobs on the yearbook, the staff members busy themselves. Shown around Mr. Prank Tank, publications advisor, are the advertising staff: Eloise Weir, Signe Poison, John Day. Stuart Gord, John Kress, and Eleanor Lewis. Mary Wiegmann and Lorel Michel, art staff, make a final check on a piece of art work.

The club was host to students from Augustana, Marycrest, Rock Island, East Moline, and Moline schools. Featured on the program was a comic skit. Atmosphere was created by the playing of Spanish music. Miss Flossie Bates, advisor for the group, aided in ar- ranging many interesting and varied programs for the meet- ings held once a month in the Activities Room. Officers of Spanish Club were: Donna Goettsch, president; Sylvia Salato, vice-president; Chuck Holman, secretary; treasurer, Jeanne Andresen. Anyone who is interested in the Spanish language is welcome to join. The purpose of the Spanish Club is to foster interest in and acquaintance with our Latin neighbors.

Spanish Club’s 65 members combined for a talent show to open the new semester. Barbara Johnson and Alja Isenhart presented a Spanish dance in costumes typical to the country. Marcia Morti boy, Janet Foley, and Mary Beth Taylor joined together for a musical trio, pictured below. Nancy Weekley sang, and Bill Sible played a piano solo. I he group sponsored a display in the library which showed picturesque things pertaining to the Latin American countries. This was done in commemoration of Pan American Week. As a spring event, a picnic was held at Duck Creek Park with the other language clubs. To earn money for their treasury and for refreshments, the club’s members sold concessions at the various s| orts events of the year. Small gold pins with “El Circulo Espanal” inscribed on them were worn by the members. Tri-Y Cabinet. First Row: Jane Rylander. Joyce Tathwell, Signe Poison. Second Row: Jane Richter.

The club strives to develop a fellowship of girls devoted to the task of realizing in our common life those ideals of personal and social living to which we are committed by our faith as Christians. Regardless of race, creed, or color, Tri-Y offers unlimited opportunities. Starting September 10, Tri-Y presented a schedule of programs ranging from religious meetings to style shows. The beginning of this schedule was marked by the round-up of new members. Approximately 275 girls attended this first meeting. In order to explain Tri-Y, its pur- pose, and activities, the officers presented a play entitled “What Makes Tri-Y Tick?” Except for special programs, the meetings were held at the YWCA every other Wednesday at 3:30. Girls are chosen to head the various standing committees which make up Tri-Y cabinet. For the year, 1952-53, the following girls served on these committees: Joan Culp and Barbara LeBuhn. pro- gram; Sue Huber and Signe Poison, social; Jane Ky- lander and Jody Beal, service; Joyce Tathwell and Jayne Barker, worship; Carol Uhlinger and Carol Knight, music; Ceorjann Paulsen and Miriam Underwood, poster; Sylvia Salato, membership; Sandra Martens and Marilou Shoemaker, publicity. Mrs. Frances Papenbrock and Miss I orena Shinn worked with Mrs. David Walker, director of teen-age programs at the YWCA, in advising the club’s activities. All club members were given a chance to sign up on the various committees at the second meeting. Each committee chairman enumerated the duties and activities of their committee. During the first semester, the committees had special projects. The first of four dances was held October 25 at the Trinity Cathedral Parish House. “Autumn Nocturne” was the theme carried out in varied fall colors. Tri-Y Seniors.

Nancy Johnston, Sarah Derry, and Sharon Keemstma. Other fall programs included a make-up demonstration, a one-act play, a special Thanksgiving program, and a talent show, “Your Show of Shows.” Members of the music committee worked with other groups at the YWCA in presenting the “Hanging of the Greens.” The committee also provided special music at the Christmas program. Beginning with an explanation of religion and its origin by Rev- erend Landdcck, pastor of the Zion Lutheran church, the first four meetings of the second semester were held in the various churches representing the three faiths. Hi-Y and Tri-Y collaborated their efforts to- wards several events during the spring semester. First, in accordance with Brotherhood Week, the clubs met jointly February 18 in St. John’s “Wheel.” Mr. Richard Devine spoke on “World Brotherhood.” “Christ: Youth’s Beacon,” was the theme carried out in the annual Holy Week services held March 30, 31, April 1, 2. Funds for world fellowship were again raised through the Co-ed Carnival, April 18. Tri-Y and Hi-Y members served as co-chairmen for the com- mittees. Tri-Y officers for the next year were elected by popular vote at the May 6 meeting. These officers were officially installed at the Rose Banquet held in late May. The installing officers were: Dorothy Schwengel, president; Pat Rust, vice-president; Jane Richter, secretary; Eloise Weir, treasurer. Tri-Y Sophomores. First Row: Judy Marti.

Coach Anton Stolfa’s 1952 football squad compiled a record of four wins and six losses, losing the first three games of the season. The Proviso season opener ended the same as the 1951 inaugural game, 19-0, accounting for the first defeat. In the Quad City Conference the Blue Devils whipped Moline 25-6 and slipped by East Moline to win the Homecoming contest 20-19. Bock Island defeated the Imps with a long run around right end which made the final score 20-15. The Mississippi Valley Conference record shows three losses aud two wins. Losses were to Wilson of Cedar Hapids 14-13, Iowa City, 28-12, and Du- buque, 21-0, while on the other side of the ledger Roosevelt of Cedar Rapids fell 12-7, and Clinton was gunned down 35-0. St. Ambrose captured the City title 13-0 with a determined drive at will through the Blue Devil team. Tom Lynch, the hard-running fullback, couldn’t play this season finale due to a leg injury. Man for man the Blue Devils had a strong outfit, though injuries to key players at the outset of the season greatly hindered their performance. Calling signals for the Imps from his half back | osition was Lyn Makeever. A ankle injury kept Varsity Football Squad.

Ralph Pucci filled WulFs end position admirably, catching one of Carroll Howlett’s passes in the end zone against Wilson. Lee Jepsen contributed his share of yardage including an 82 yard ramble through Moline territory in that contest. Up in the line Andy Stewart and Phil Huber con- sistently turned in fine performances both offensively and defensively. Bill Keppy was converted into a ball carrier in the Clinton game, performing an off- tackle play which set up two of the touchdowns. The middle man of the forward wall was durable Dave Liedtke who absorbed the jolts of this position. Defensive halfback Don Kenyon spurred the Dav- enport squad against Moline by intercepting three passes. Dick Albers always presented a problem to the opposition, especially in the hard fought Rock Island game where he repeatedly broke through their de- fense to pull down the runner. Coach Fox’s sophomore squad ran rough-shod over all opposition to complete an undefeated sea- son. They rolled up 367 points to their op| oncnts '16 which points towards a powerful team in two years.

Retiring Coach Clem Bridge will he long re- membered at Davenport High School for his success as a teacher, coach, and genial friend. SOPHOMORE CHEERLEADING SQUAD Janelle Hart. Beverly Brinkman, Nancee Burlingame, Jana Schroeder, Pat Masonholder, Kant Sidnay begins down-court with tha ball during tha first Rock Island gama. Coach Paul Moon's basketball squad tied for the Quad-City Conference title, won the Mississippi Valley Conference championship, and defeated St. Ambrose for the City title to amass an enviable rec- ord of 17 victories and only five losses for the season. Frank “Ott” Sebolt completed his third year as a varsity regular by earning first team All-State honors, despite the fact that the Blue Devils played only one tournament game. The Imps began the schedule in stride, losing only to Moline 57-51 during their first 16 games. Then, after avenging Moline’s earlier victory 65-51 in this 16th game, Clinton snapped the Demon’s long record of 60 consecutive wins over Iowa teams which dated back to 1950. Coach Moon built a new ball club having one regular, Sebolt, returning from last year’s outfit. Scoring was fairly even with each man taking the lion’s share on one of his “hot” nights. Sebolt al- ways registered high in points, averaging 16.3 per game, against Quad City competition, besides re- bounding and passing with precision. Kent Sidney limbered up his scoring arm on Iowa City in the Varsity Basketball Team. First Row: Bill Meyer, Bill Soltau, Bob Grovas, Frank Sebolt, Kent Sidney, Jerry Wagner.

Center Bob Groves broke Carl Widseth’s (last year’s Demon All-Stater) individual scoring record by two points as he dumped in 34 markers on February sixth against Roosevelt of Cedar Rapids in that 60th win over Iowa foes. Rock Islanders watched Bill Soltau make three free throws in the last ten seconds to win that game 59-57. Jerry Wagner had his night against St. Am- brose when he caught on fire and tossed in 23 points to break the Knight’s back, though they pushed the Blue Devils for the first three quarters. Juniors Ralph Pucci, Bill Meyer and Carl Seitz saw a lot of action this year making the regulars hustle all the way. Coach Clem Bridge’s final basketball season saw his charges compile a 11-8 record. They captured the MVC title winning nine and losing one, but they lost every game to Quad City rivals and to the St. Ambrose yearlings. A jump shot by Jerry Wagner.

Blue Devil wrestlers completed another impressive year under the direction of Coach Jim Fox and As- sistant Coach Burt Sicdler. Demon grapplers posted 13 wins in 16 varsity outings, including champion- ships in the Bock Island Quadrangular and the Davenport Invitational events. A whole new squad had to be fashioned in time for the curtain raiser with Roosevelt of Cedar Rapids. The Imps dropped that meet and also meets to the State Champs, East Waterloo, and to an al- ways tough Osage outfit. As the season progressed the squad strengthened, verified by the fact that during the final ten matches only one ended in defeat. Singular honor came to the Blue Devils at the district meet when eleven grapplers won the right to enter the state meet at Cedar Falls. Jim McCray, 138 lb. Mississippi Valley Conference champion, took second State honors with Bob Huckfeldt placing fourth in the heavy weight bracket. Other district finalists to enter the State for the first time were Vince Garcia, Bob Wulf, Tony Ramirez, Tom Ault, Simon Roberts, Pat McGrath, Doug Hart, Bob Schurlock, and Bob Ihlefelt. Coach Seidler’s team remained undefeated in 12 dual meets for the third consecutive year of vic- tories. Because each boy must defend his squad position all season, a senior may wrestle on the varsity team in one meet and be eliminated by a sophomore for the next meet, leaving the senior to compete on the “sophomore” team against reserve grapplers. Seven juniors wrestled on the varsity regularly this year, while sophomores carried the load for Coach Seidler, adding up to a bright outlook for next season. Varsity co-captains were Jim McCray and Pal McGrath. On the sophomore team those positions were held by Vince Garcia and Dave Brown. Jim McCray rolls his man over.

Las Chapman clears the bar for a blue ribbon in the Davenport Relays. Tracksters picked up momentum following a slow start in the early season. Coach Jesse Day sent his team to the Mississippi Valley Conference indoor meet for their first action, where they tied for second with Roosevelt of Cedar Rapids at 40 points apiece. At the State Indoor the Blue Devils to- taled 17 points, to rank seventh in this meet. Dick Kerr won the mile run and Les Chapman shared pole vault honors with Clinton’s Ken Ploen. Clinton was the first outdoor test for the Imps, who took eight wins in individual events, but gathered only 8314 to 121 Vi. The Davenport Relays’ crown was re- tained in Coach Day’s collection of laurels after the Demons outscored the favorites, Clinton and Rock Island, 84-Vfc to 72V and 70 respectively. These early scores reflected strength in individual events, though the Imps didn’t muster enough over-all power. With the Davenport Relays the picture changed in- dicating more depth in the squad. A close heat for Dick Fidlar at the State Indoor meet. Kerr in distance races and Chapman in the pole vault consistently captured points. In the shot put Bill Meyer and Don Hoehn carried the bulk of the load. Among the discus throwers were Tom Leon, Don Hoehn, and Don Klindt. Frank Sebolt specialized in individual events and ran sprints in various relays along with Don Klindt, Larry Pricbe, Bob Groves, and Dick Albers. Bill Meyer developed fast and won third place in the State Indoor 50 yard dash, besides his duties as a sprint relay man. Quarter milers and half milers were Dick Fidlar, Roxy Ernsberger, Don Brandt, Le- Roy Crawford, Bob Atkinson, Jim Graham, Don Shuda, Don Wagschal, Arno Lafrenz, and Dick Kerr. Assistants to Coach Day were Coach Mike Dardis, handling field events, and Coach Loel Frederickson, who assumed the reins of the sophomore team. Serving as co-captains for the Blue Devils were re- Gathered around the baton are mile relay members, Roxy Ernsberger, Bob Atkinson, LeRoy Crawford, and Dick Fidlar.

Hock Island, Moline, and East Moline were the schools included in the fall semester schedule. The record for the fall schedule was two wins, three losses and one tie. The spring schedule provided action against Dubuque, Clinton, and the Quad-City schools. The nctmen also competed in the Missis- sippi Valley Conference meet and district and state tournaments. Playing the first six positions were Dave Kinser, Dave Weiner, George Frost, Pat McGrath, George Lintner, and Jim Kidenour. With a schedule which included only Quad-City schools, the Girls’ Tennis Team saw many hard fought matches, but came out on top only part of the time. The entire 1951-52 team returned this year. The fall record was two wins and four losses. The first seven, which included seniors, juniors, and sophomores read down the ladder as follows: Sue Arp, Darlene Hanssen, Wilymarie Nicholson, Joan Niels, Dot Sohwengel, with Pat Buckles and Margaret Lindsay alternating in sixth position.

Coach Russell Bickford's linksters highlighted a sucessful fall season by topping the Quad-City Medal Tournament, played at the Davenport Country Club. Dual setbacks, however, were encountered at the hands of a strong St. Ambrose team, while Moline also defeated the Imps. With returning lettermen, Don Oline, Tom Peters, Frank Trenery, Stuart Gord, Dick Harrington, and Jim Morton entering spring competition, the team had prospects of being a state championship contender. Last year's darkhorse squad won the district tournament and finished fourth in the state finals, only one stroke out of third. Four Quad-City Conference matches headed the spring sched- ule for the Blue Devils, who were defending the crown they won last year. April 18 was the date for the Iowa City Invita- tional where the squad entered its first medal play. For the following matches, they traveled to Cedar Rapids and Dubuque for invitational meets and returned to Dubuque on two more occasions for the Mississippi Valley Matches and the District play. Tom Peters, Don Oline, and Frank Trenery talk it over during a prac- tice session. Interest in expert marksmanship runs high at DHS as shown by the large number of matches partici- pated in by the team composed of both girls and boys. The ROTC Rifle Team competed in five postal matches, where the results of the firing on our home range were compared by mail with other team scores. One hundred sixty-one teams entered the William Randolph Hearst Match in which Davenport placed tenth. In the Army Interscholastic Rifle Match the local squad ranked 18th among the 103 teams. Re- sults of the National ROTC Interscholastic Rifle Match are available in the summer, though Daven- port’s score of 6970 out of 8000 is a promising one. ROTC Team. First Row: Jack Wise.
