For the de- partmental Who's Who, the teachers select the best boy student and the best girl student in their respective departments. The commercial department believes that Glen Wester and Sharon Reed are the best students in typing and shorthand. According to the English department, Sharon Reed and David Sewell have the necessary grammatical and literary knowledge to make them outstanding. a Z£U Lzaxnincj, JoAnn Brubaker and Charles Brott have the clearest conception of algebra and plane geometry, the mathe- matics department thinks.

Eddie Whittenberg (72), D. O. James (60), Norman Marquart (80), and James Low (71) assist Delos Whisenhunt (20) who has the ball. Harvey Klinkerman (10) has just handed off to Delos Whisenhunt (20) in the Valley View game. In the Valley View game, David Sewell (30) has just received a pass. Donnie Todd (22) is rushing up to block. Delos Whisenhunt (20) has just made a touchdown in the Lockett game. Norman Marquart (80) and Jerry Morgan (31) have run interference. THE FOOTBALL SEASON In the Valley View game, Norman Mar' quart(80) has caught a pass and is head- ed for a touchdown. The 1955 football season for the Hawks proved to be the most successful in our history. At thebeginning of the season, we were rated near the bottom in the dis- trict standing. Through fine teamwork and spirited playing, however, we were able to upset many of the top area football powers and to end the season with an 8-1-1 record. In non-conference games, the Hawks downed their opponents in the following order: Electra, 12-0; Valley View, 37-0; and Burkburnett, champs of District 2A this year, 18-12. Opening the district play at Crowell, the Hawks returned home with a 39-28 victory. The next triumph for the Hawks was Archer City, 25-12. Our homecoming game against Paducah, rated number one in the district at the beginning of the season, ended in a 26-26 tie. Iowa Park won the game on penetrations. Next the Hawks journeyed to Henrietta to play a game which was broadcast over KSYD radio. The Hawks again proved victorious 34-7. We next defeated Holliday 34-13. The only defeatof the season was a heartbr eaker we lost to Chillicothe before some 6, 500 fans. Although we were outweighed at every position, we led all the way until the final two minutes, when the Eagles pushed ahead 20-18. The last game of the season was a 60-7 drubbing we gave Lockett at the home field. The Hawks won second place in the 1A-9 district. The Hawks are indebted to Coach Bob Covington and Assistant-coach James Reese for their fine training, and to Dr. and Mrs. L. A. Crawford and Sgt. H.C. Clementson for their unstinted efforts in helping to keep the boys physically fit during the season. When district, area, and state honors were passed out, our valiant Hawks were not forgotten. Tapped for the all-district team were Gordon Griffith, Harvey Klinkerman, Norman Marquart, Delos Whisenhunt, and Eddie Whittenberg. Re- ceiving honorable mention for All-district were J. C. Bridges, Donald Daugher- ity, Douglas James, Randall Pierce, and David Sewell. In the all-area team selected by the coaches of the 1-A schools in the North Central Texas area, Norman Marquart (end) and Harvey Klinkerman (offensive back) were named to the first team. Donald Daugherity (end), Randall Pierce (center), and Eddie Whittenberg (tackle) were selected for the second team, while Gordon Griffith (guard) and Delos Whisenhunt (back) received honorable mention. Two of our Hawks received state recognition when they were chosen for honor- able mention on the all-state Class A first team, a team selected by the Texas Sports Writers Association. These Hawks were Harvey Klinkerman and Norman Marquart. in JUNIOR HIGH FOOTBALL TEAM Front row, left to right: Philip Keeter, manager; Jimmy Davis, John Williamson, Jerry Simmons, Hugh Stockton, Billy Patterson, Tommy Scott, Jackie Brooks, Allie Jack Ralston, Jerry Robertson Second row: Tommy Schell, Richard Underwood, Jimmy Banks, Tony Waters, Gary May, Jimmy Gard, David Parkey, Randy Trantham.

JUNIOR HIGH FOOTBALL SEASON The football season for the Little Hawks was quite profitable. They won six games, tied one, and lost one. This put the junior Hawks in second place in the district standing. JUNIOR HIGH FOOTBALL QUEEN AND HER ATTENDANTS To preside over their final important game with Crowell, the Little Hawks chose Linda Geisert as their queen. She was crowned during half-time ceremonies by the two co-captains.

This year, the girls were able to play better games in which they gave their opponents more competition than they did last year. With more interest in girls' basketball on the part of the student body and our patrons, and with more experience on the part of the girls in playing the game, we hope soon to have a winning team.

Next, the Hawks entered the Seymour tournament, beating Holliday 50-40, and Megargel 71-34. The boys then ventured to Lockett and returned with a 56-51 victory. The second loss of the season was to Burk on their court, 60-57. When Burk returned our game, we won 60-54. Playing against Valley View, the Hawks won 99-77. The next game was with Electra, where the Hawks won by chalking up 103 points to Electra's 49. Another game with Electra was won by Iowa Park 61-39. Archer City lost to us 41-59. In a hard-fought game with Valley View, we won 72-64. Our third loss was to Holliday, 54-56. The Hawks then entered the Burkburnett tournament where they first defeated Quanah 57-56. The next tournament opponent was Seymour whom the Hawks downed to win a hard-earned victory, 64-61. Burk was the next rival and final team played by the Hawks during this tournament. The strong Iowa Park team won 56-44. There, Harvey Klinkerman and Thurman Payton were given individual trophies for their good sportsmanship and playing ability during the tournament. The next district game was at Henrietta, where the Hawks won 65-48. The easiest victory was that over Chillicothe, 85-18. Another easy victory came when we met Archer City, 77-38. Our team went to Holliday next and returned victorious by a narrow margin, 56-52. Having won the eastern half of the district, the Hawks played Lockett two out of three games for the district championship. We won the first two games, 76-62 and 66-59, and emerged district champions I In a sudden death game played against Springtown at Bowie, the Hawks turned on full steam to win 44-41. This win gave the Hawks a berth in the regional tournament at Denton. Here they met Troup early in the morning. It must have been too early, because the Hawks were defeated for only the fourth time by a score of 42-66. We congratulate Coach James Reese and his championship team upon bringing high honors to Iowa Park High School. aTon thd district and tri - district cfiam s, Just before the Lockett game, the Hawks make a victory compact.

The girls played Valley View, Holliday, Electra, and Burkburnett in practice games before the tournament at Crowell which determined the winner of the district. Valley View was the only team which was able to beat the Hawkettes in these practice games. Upon entering the district tournament, Iowa Park first met Lockett, defeating them 15 — 0 and 15 — 1. This game put our girls in the finals, where we met Paducah. Paducah defeated us which gave Iowa Park second place in the district.

INTERSCHOLASTIC LEAGUE COMPETITION The University Interscholastic League district events always take place shortly after the arrival of spring. This year, the tennis competition was held at Archer City in March, the literary events were staged at our school on April 6, the track events took place at Chillicothe on April 7, and the band events occurred at Wichita Falls on April 21 and April 28. We were very proud to win first place in the district in Literary events, and to win second place in over-all inter scholastic competition in the district.

In the early morning of May 2, the sen- iors, their sponsors, their room-mothers, the superintendent and his wife left Iowa Park in the rain on their long-anticipated trip to St. Louis. After riding over the Turner Turnpike to Tulsa, Oklahoma, and touring the Will Rogers Memorial at Claremore, the senior s spent the night in Monett, Missouri. Here, through the courtesy of Mrs. Owens' brother, John Hunt, the trippers were admitted free to a movie theater and given all the treats they could consume. On May 3, the class arrived at their St. Louis address, the King Brothers' Motel, in mid-after- noon. That night they watched the St. Louis Cardinals play the Brooklyn Dodg- ers. Friday, May 4, was spent shopping and cruising down the Mississippi on an excursion boat. That night, the seniors dined at the Chase Hotel Supper Club. Reluctantly, our Texans left St. Louis on the morning of May 5 for the trek home. They spent the night at Eureka Springs, Arkansas, after touring Marvel Cave, the third largest cave in the United States. The next morning, the seniors visited Lake Lucerne. At noon they were in Siloam Springs, Arkansas, and at sun- down, they had reached Oklahoma City. Utterly tired, yet cherishing many happy memories of the trip, the seniors dis- embarked from their chartered Continen- tal Trailways bus in front of the high school at 11:30 Sunday night. May 6.

In a panel discus sion entitled Our American Heritage , the honor graduates spoke on the following subjects: Education by the salutatorian, Doylene Morgan; Courage by David Sewell; Statesmanship by Sharon Reed; Religion by Mary Ralston; and Belief in the Future by the valedictorian, Sara Johnson. Superintendent Keith D. Swim recognized many seniors for their extra-curricular contributions to the life of the school before pre- senting awards and scholarships. The recipient of the Judy Wilson A- ward, Bonnie Sue Callaway, received an ovation.

BAND NOTES Under the leadership of Director G.L. Vaughn, the band students in the Iowa Park schools have had a busy and successful year. In August of 1955 a beginners' band was organized with approximately fifty members, from which students will progress continually to the high school band as they become proficient. The high school band is made up of 48 junior and senior high school students who have been kept busy filling all of their engagements. They have played for every Iowa Parkfootball game, sev- eral PTA meetings, and school assembly programs both here and else- where. The high school band has entered contests in twirling, solos, concerts, and marching, coming out with highly creditable records as we have shown you elsewhere in this tour. The Dixieland Band, composed of six or eight students, has brought pleasure to many groups because of its swing music appeal. The big band elected a queen, Doylene Morgan, in January and crowned her at the lovely annual band banquet prepared for them by the band parents' club. The beginners' band enjoyed a wiener roast on the Lehman farm during April. These girls are the 1955 - 1956 officers of the Iowa Park Chapter of the Future Homemakers of Amer- ica. Seated, left to right: Loretta Bohannon, secretary; Rebecca Callaway, vice-president; Mary Skinner, president; Barbara Roberts, parliamentarian.

FHA CHAPTER ACTIVITIES During 1955-56, the Iowa Park High School Chapter of the Future Home- makers of America, under the leadership of Mrs. Carol Woolf, home- making teacher, had a good year. In the fall of 1955, a large class of freshman girls were initiated. Preceding the Christmas holdiays, the chapter made Christmas cards for the inmates of the state hospitals. In February many members attended a district FHA meeting in Seymour, while in March, Rebecca Callaway, Francine Faulkner, Mary Skinner , Delpha Keiningham, and Barbara McKenzie attended an area meeting in Stephenville. Later, in April, Mary Skinner and Vivian Thrush were sent as delegates from this chapter to the state meeting held in Fort Worth. Participation in these meetings has widened the horizons of the chapter members who now have a better perception of the national FHA program. On May 25, officers for the coming year were installed in an impressive ceremony. With these officers to lead them, the FHA girls are looking forward with confidence to the program which will keep them busy next year.

The two members chosen to represent thechapter at the national meet were Deryl James and BobMcManus who were accompanied by Mr. John E. Sibley, their advisor. In order to raise moneyto finance various FFA activities, the chapter purchased a $50 popcorn machine and more than paid for it this year by operating the machine at the T-O Fair and at football games. Twenty-eight boys attended the State Fair at Dallas on FFA Day, where they visited the agriculture and livestock exhibits. Throughout the year, chapter members entered various contests and exhibits imong them being the district poultry contest at Electra, the Oklaunion Livestock Show where our team won second place), the Texas-Oklahoma Fair and the Tri-County Dairy Show where Donald Richter's heifer won a blue ribbon and was awarded the rosette as champion of the jerseys. Don Roy Klinkerman's two Holstein heifers also von blue ribbons at this show. Eddie Whittenberg won first place in a tractor-driving :ontest sponsored by the Wilbarger-Wichita Soil Conservation District. In the FFA eadership contest, our junior skills team won second place. The chapter is custodian of seven pieces of machinery owned by the Soil Conservation District. When the machinery is rented to farmers, the chapter gets 25 per cent of the rent in return .or care.

We thank them for the many hours so sincerely de- voted to our training. We thank our superintendent and the board for their careful management of the district from which we, as students, profit. dJhz H oaxcl of Education Left to right: C.E. Birk. president; Keith D. Swim, superintendent; James A. Sewell; Elvy G. Sargent; Jim Miller; Joe Cope; Miles V. Thompson, vice-president; Albert May, Jr.. secretary. Here we see members of the Board of education looking over plans for the new buildings which are to be constructed during the latter half of 1956. In the fall of 1955, the taxpayers of the Iowa Park Independent School District voted a bond issue of $225, 000. Of this amount, $150,000 are to be spent for the erection of a gymnasium and a band building. The remainder will be held in reserve for the erection of other buildings as they are needed. We students are looking forward with eager antici- pation to using these two new building which will be located across the street immediately east of the high school building. iPiinaihal JAMES E.
