CONTENTS BOOK I BOOK II BOOK III BOOK IV BOOK V BOOK VI SCHOOL LIFE ADMINISTRATION CLASSES ACTIVITIES ATHLETICS INDUSTRY IN MEMORIAM To Ver lie Areingdale FLOWER grows, blooms in all its beauty and usefulness; then, for some unaccountable rea- son, wilts and dies. It lived for a purpose, and although stricken with death before its mission was fully completed, it made the world a more pleasant place in which to live. Al- though never rewarded or much noticed by the many, yet it stood up bravely with a smile and an un- dying desire to help beautify this world. So it has been with our dear friend and school-mate, Verlie Are- ingdale, who has passed on. Her life has been one of service and help in making this world and school a better place to live in. We are sure that it has been benefited by her having lived with us, even though for so short a time. THE STAFF Editor-in-Chief, Ykua Sterner Managing Editor.

Take me l Ollumwa High School again just for tonight: Twas in nineteen twenty one, vs I do recall, Thai our class entered as Freshmen, and green were we all, Bui we did one convincing deed In prove we were wise— From I he facull wo chose Mrs. Frank, our class to advise. We struggled that year at our lessons so hard, So at least once in our life we could take home a good card. And as a reward at the end of that year. We had a Freshman part liar! liar!- give a cheer. Now Ibis parly was held al I lie Y. M. ('.. A. And as for dues, each a quarter did pay: Then after the parly we all did I lie dishes, And parlod al Iasi willi hearty good wishes. Next, Sophomore year, and such sophistication! The Seniors were tormented by mipiy an ‘ , We organized our class in regular style, And K llengen as treasurer hoarded our pile. Duck Taylor by some sly trick of his pen, Kepi records of our class—which mol now and then, Then as class president, we selected Bob, Bui. because of his grades, had lo give up bis job. We were going along serenely when wo suddenly discovered Thai our class w; s wilhoul a veil- Like old .Mother Hubbard. So Ed, Moss and George retired for a lime, And brought forth Ibis veil that beats all other rhyme: It ip, ring, rang, rung, Zip zing, zang. zung, Eat ’em dead, oal 'em alive, Nineteen hundred and twenty-live! And with this same « 11 (lie old high did ring! ‘Twas the twenty-five's symbol, what pep did il bring! Then the grandest of all, in the spring, our dance. Where pupils and instructors together did prance, 05228609 Our favorite Gus Nation, like a regular sport, With the aid of sonic girls, made punch of some sort. And lo! we were Juniors—we thrilled at I In name, And worthy Hill Hrunk was president of the same. In Hill's absence, Ed Honnificld did serve. While Charles Funk recorded fads with courage and nerve. H lph Hamsey was chosen as treasurer that year. And handled our green-backs, so scarce and so dear. We also had members on I lie famed Student Council, They wore Sterner, Parks, Herrick, Hrunk, Lowe -dial’s a mouthful! On the football held we surely did shine, Willi Iteeky, Parks, Sweeney and Groves in Hie line; And if I remember all the boys exactly right, Swenson, Leonard and Bowne were there in the tight. We also did claim some honors on die mat, We have Booth, Harris and Chickering to give thanks to for that. And for our debating we find Ed and Hess. These silver tongued orators made the Judge come across. Then to cap the climax of a happy, successful year, We gave the Junior-Senior Prom as summer drew near. The play we pulled ofl'—a marvel we’ll vote il! Joe Miller was manager, and also he wrote it. Flora Knight as a flapper, was really a scream, While Boltina as Hose was as fair as a dream. From frequent comments we chanced to hear, That dance was a. success—we had nothing lo fear. What ho! What ho! We were Seniors! Hcigho! The peppiest class in die high school, yea bo! Bill Hrunk was again with- die presidency honored, And Irvin Groves consented to keep the money we callored. A1 Edginglon took Chuck's place and all the meetings recorded, And Parks filled in for Bill when necessity afforded. Becky now captain of our team did become. And we added to our victories, one by one. The Argus Annual Staff was losing much sloop, To make this Argus the best one to keep. Vera Sterner, Joe Miller and Ivan were chiefs, While numerous committees gave aid and relief. The Argus Newspaper was edited by Itulli I.owe, II would haw boon biggor. but I boro was a sa l slaok of “dough. Two Dramatic Huh plays wore prosonlod I hat yoar, And Miss Bateman dirooted, and shod more than one tear . Margie was Eva and Joe, I nolo Horan , And they gained much fame in their aiding, of course. Then Dulcy” was given on I ho first of May, And Winnie Mahafl’ey was Iho slar, they say. Hill, Ed, Harlan, Hob and Joe, Wore others in tile ea,sl, you know. Commencement time was drawing near, Bui the '25 Seniors hail nothing to fear; To Mrs. Frank we owe much praise, For her kindly guidance through our high school days. Can it really be true that those dear days are gone, And nought is left hut these memories fond? Backward, turn backward, () time in I by Might, And take me to Ottumwa High School, just for tonight. C5 CLASS PROPHECY W 11 ILK looking in tin crystal globo. twenty-five years having passed, I lie Senior Class of 1925, (). H. S. was found living in the Western country, in a lonely deserted spot, gathered into a communistic village. They were a jealous hunch hut I soon espied an old hewhiskered patriarch who seemed to he deciding a dispute. I was not surprised to find that il was Hill I in ink who still seemed lo have tin most influence when il came to managing affairs. The girls did not seem to have much authority hid there were a few who fell in line for the jobs in I lie community kitchen. II was near noon and things were beginning to move fast. Merle Wine was seen bossing her very efl’icienl new of “hashslingers”-—Lillian Moore, Helen Meadows, Willa McClure, Maurine Gallagher, Lcora Given, Vera McKIroy. Elizabeth Baum and Alice Trenneman. It was hard to tell just who was at the head of the “water brigade,” but it looked like Ben Bowne had assumed the most authority. Here, sweating in the sun were Don Gibbons. Tom Whalen, Vest Gi liner, (diaries Horan, John Sty re and Carl Mclnerney all tilling the water barrels from the spring. There was work for all. yet there was some settlement recreation. Lawrence Delano had organized an orchestra whirl played for the meals and evenings now and then. I logo r Brocken ridge, Edgar Brower. Nyla Kenny. Herbert Brody, Charles Strang and Flora Knight composed the group. People were seen combing from the fields and work-houses to the unique homes, to get ready for dinner. They were all working for the same “pot.' each carrying their implements. The “hay tossers ' were in the lead—Bernhardt Diehn. Lewis Chickcring, Francis Kaiser, Harvey Landon, Hubert Matthew and Vivian Man roe. followed closely by the weed pullers - George Malen, Granville Pownall, Dale McCullough and Lawrence Gardner, all happy and contented. Usually the meals were good but on this particular day Esther Miller, one � f the cooks, had become so engrossed in imparting some news to another of the cooks that the potatoes were badly burned. While all were settled peacefully at their meal, a messenger, who upon closer observation proved to be Tilman Harry, burst in upon the dining hall crying, The Revolutionists are coining! The Revolutionists are coming!” A grand riot followed. The population of the entire colony burst out doors and were confronted by the announced Revolutionists. There were live of them, and I gazed in consternation as their identity was revealed to me—Edward Bonni- field, dressed in red flannels led the group, closely followed by George Shane with an elephant's tusk. Ross Weigand with a hook on hynotism. James Barnes with a package of licorice cigarettes and Ed Parker with an I. W. W. sign boldly hanging around his neck completed the group. I didn't, see how this small group could carry on any sort of a revolution, but their abilities proved unlimited. Miguel Reynolds, who acted as Chief Justice of the Village with Ralph Ramsey his assistant, were ordered lo seize the Revolu- tionists and bear them lo prison walls. Three of them were easily subdued and slunk away into the corner. Not so with James Barnes. IDs old-time “spirit of '25 lla.red up and in ringing tones he called out, Away with ye. vile cowards. I spy a maiden youder whom I fain would have for my own. With these words, he dashed through the crowd and while everyone was completely stunned, swept down from his horse, snatched up Gladys Marshall in his arms and was off. Just then a thundering of hoofs was heard and around the corner came Harlan Parks, leading his famous cavajry. 1 Needless lo say, tin kidnapper was easily overtaken and sent with the other conspirators to prison. Later I saw they had been banished from the colony in disgrace, a most horrible punsihment. After ail of this excitement, things calmed down a bit. I suddenly saw clouds of smoke coming out of I he windows of a nearby house—was it a lire? No. Soon Vera Sterner came walking out of the front door and I knew il was merely in- cense. In her wake was Joe .Miller and in his hand he carried a marriage license. I believed an elopement to be afoot, but far be il from me to foil the plans. A lilt tie later at the home of the communistic minister—Vernon Stagner—I saw the wedding taking place with lieltina pskeep as bridesmaid and Mob Fer- guson as best man. In the orchard of the little village sal Ituby Holton, with poetry which she had been writing strewn about her. Suddenly a stately fellow clad in golf trousers and golf socks of brilliant hue, his tawny locks waving in the breeze, appeared from behind a tree and placing his hands over her eyes, playfully dropped a kiss upon her brow. I could hardly believe my eyes when I did recognize him as Cornelius Murphy. However, knowing Ruby's shyness as I did. I looked away until they both had disappeared over the hill. That evening a concert was held in the park and Thelma Toms gave several solos accompanied on the ii-lin by Lawrence DeLa.no. Lawrence Conch as the comedian made quite a hit. A group of chorus girls- Kathryn Mcliek, Wilma Itoth. C race Stockbcrger. Alice Shepherd. I.orretta Mrlnerney and Dorothy Cornell —gave several clever little numbers. Later I saw Dorothy Corrick getting into a Ford Coupe. From that I drew my own corn-lust ions—you may do the same. In the dance hall of the village of which, by the way. Kd Silk was manager. Dorothy Wayland was giving a formal dance to which the whole population had been looking forward for the past year. Here Margaret Madden and Harlan Parks were hopping around and also Charles and Well ha. Stationed around the room at various punch bowls I noticed Phylis Abernathy, Ruth Atwood. Claudine Flet- cher. Fred Blount. Marjorie Bowen, Tom Hardy. Ivan Brooks. Mary Carr. Bernice Clabby. Thomas Clark, Wilma Cox. Nellie Cruiekshank, Margaret Dayton. Francis Ewing. Arthur Dimmit. Vernon Gossage, Dorothy Hale and Lynn Harness. I do not recall that, any of these had been heavy drinkers in their school days, but then —times have changed. At the end of the room Earl Weldon seemed lo be taking a picture of the group. At least I heard him say, Folks, this is serious, it isn't funny.” Next I directed my attention lo the movie when- 1 beheld Catherine Mulcahy, Helen Nelson, Dorothy Pearson, John Peterson, Beulah Howell, Agnes Hamsey. Gladys Koinier, Helen Miller, Norman Swenson. Thomas Snyder and Orlee Spilman all seated in the bald-headed row. devouring peanuts excitedly, while they watched the picture which proved lo be a serial with Alex Stewart, supported by Louise Suechling. The picture was, The Flatter the Plate, the Fewer the Soup.” In the most, tragic part, a little boy began to clap excitedly and to create such a disturbance that Harold Stocker had to conn from the ticket office and ask tin little fellow to leave. I was quite surprised to see Darlene scolding Ralph. Jr. soundly as she lead him out. The morning after the night before I saw Alice Edginglon, Ivyle Peck and Gertrude Tyler leading the entire population in calisthenics in a large Held nearby. Ede Wilson stood by supervising the work with Paul Thorne close by her side. Immediately after this ceremony Charles Leonard and Coxy Warm went out and called in the cows. K. Hengen. Ruth Lowe, Edgar Brower. Lawrence Reed- quist, Helen O'Hara. Harry Mauck, Bertha Martin. Margaret Cooper, Blanche Davis. Minta Miles, John Paul Jones, Frances Kirkpatrick and Ed Love grabbed milk pails and went out to milk. Trailing in with their buckets full, some higher than others, the little line trailed toward an old dilapidated barn where Margaret Burns, Christine Stiles, Bernard Booth, Skeel Sauers. Howard Wittenmeyer and Faye Rusrh labored over the old fashioned hand separators. «7 In Hie midst of this work a terrible shriek was heard. Everyone rushed to the corner of the barn where they found Joe Wagner rolling over and over, apparently in great agony. Upon questioning him they found out that one of the rows had kicked him. Margaret I,. Herrick, panic-stricken, ran for the doctor, while John Murray, a manly chap, tanned by ouf-door life, easily swung Joe to his strong shoulders and carried him into the house. Dr. Ted Lamhertson and her nurse. Lillian Jones, hurried over and rendered first aid. Nevertheless. Joe was delirious for a week muttering incoherent words, meaningless to all bill the members of his ’25 Virgil class, about “nymphs chirping from lofty summits.” I began to wonder where Phillip Spiwak had drifted and found he had left the colony after inheriting a great fortune and that he now was peddling neckties in Canada. Clarke Taylor was about the busiest man in town. He was building a new aero- plane. modeled from force of habit over a Ford. He seemed to be very much in demand from a feminine view-point, as about him were grouped Pauline Cham- berlain. Maple Ward, Gerada Zalfle, Bertha Potter and Ruth Morrison, all trying to help him. Emmet Mowry, of coure, edited tin weekly paper and his assistants were Marie McCoy, Adelaide Gossage and Mary Forsythe. Helen Trent was standing outside the gate of Martha Welch’s rose garden, gossiping with Itulh Gibson and Helen Hagberg who were old maids by this time and lived together in a stone house covered with pumpkin vines. A few old timers were beginning to get rather radical and started an old fad—bobbed hair. Ida Pool and Bertha Logan were the first to fall before the temptations of the demon. Marguerite McFadden and Edna Romerman following after much deliberation of to do or not to do. This was looked upon with disgust by some of I lie more conservative type as Lucille Harkins. Genevieve Hall. Dorothy Gookin, Pauline Clark and Winnie Mahaffey, all fighting it with their influential orations on “The Sinful Four.” Suddenly my crystal began to lose its observatory power and through the haze I could dimly see the remaining members of the 25 s, but the colony grad- ually faded away and I was staring at a small glass ball. And from that day to this naught has been heard of tin? little colony of the nineteen hundred and twenty-five's. 1� 25 68 WE, the Senior class of 1925, with all due sanity of mind and in truly good faith have, with all the solemnity and dignity befitting such an occasion, drawn up our last will and testament. We hereby announce it publicly thus making all wills written heretofore null and void. To the faculty who have guided us carefully over the rough places and encouraged us at all times we leave our unbounded appreciation and gratitude. To the Freshman Class to whom we claim the most distant relationship, we leave for old times sake, the right to attend the Ottumwa High School solely for tin purpose of acquiring knowledge.

H. S. and stili moro silently progressed as Fresh- men. Only Iliis year has the school awakened to find an unusual class of tenth-graders. Plenty of pep. we have shown in every branch of school life. Our class is represented in football, basketball, and in every club. More or less pep we cannot have. For how could wc have more and how less? Our officers are the best in the school and receive the support of the entire class. Every member is a loyai supporter of O. II. S.

We are represented in the various organ- izations of tile school, such as the Latin Cluh, Radio Cluh. and the Spanish Club. We are also interested in the Athletic Teams; as a few of our members are out for football. The freshman class has a great deal of pep this year, and one of our members, Donald Holley, is a yell leader, and a mighty good one at that. During the Lyceum course a great many tickets were sold, largely by Homer Howell. Although we have some small members, which is quite natural in a freshman class, such as Dolores Meagher, Walter Monger, Frank Parnell, we also have some huskies. A great many students are out for declamatory, which shows that they are quite interested in the outcome of the High School in that particular line. The students showed good judgment in the selection of the class officers. They are very competent members of the class and shall do their best to serve the class in every way possible. Judging the way we are going now. we Freshmen hope lo have a class that the O. H. S. will he proud of by the time 1928 comes.

It shows to what extent I ho students participate in each department, and Jo those who have relatives or friends in the school, it serves as a personal record of each. This year I he Argus Annual Staff, under the faculty super- vision of Miss Cecelia Levon, has worked strenuously to make I In l .r r Argus Annual the best ever published. Much credit is due Miss Levon. Vera Sterner. Editor-in-chief; .let. Miller, Manag- ing Editor; and Ivan Brooks.

Miss Patterson, of the Art Department, has helped to make the art work in this book of the highest type possible. The Seniors sell three annuals, and the-Juniors one . Only with the cooperation of tin entire student body could this issue of the Argus Annual have been published.

DEBATE REVIEW NEGATIVE February •.'() our negative team defeated Washington hen 3-0. Three weeks later, March 0, they lost to Fairfield by a 3-0 vote. A Forensic organization has been formed with the purpose of giving future debators and others a bettor knowledge of debate and extemporaneous speaking. This organization has two teams in the field getting experience for next year. no DECLAMATORY OH. S. has passed 111 rough a highly successful forensic year. More interesf has been taken than ever before: a larger number of contestants have participated; the number of contests held in Ottumwa was greater and tin quality of the work, at least in comparison with the other schools, was better. For instance: November -'H. the preliminary contest to choose the contestant in the Iowa Nine Contest was held. Of the ten who tried out. Cline Greer look first and John Harney second in humorous and Archie Fuller lirsl in the oratorical division. January 15, the girls’ preliminary contest was held. Blanche Davis placed lirst in oratorical, Margaret Madden first in Dramatic and Flora Knight lirsl in the humorous division. I'r°m these six people. Cline and Margaret won the right to represent O. II. S. in the Iowa Nine Contest. Both Margaret, and Cline fought their way Io I lie linals where Cline Greer, reading Biff Perkin’s Toboggan Slide.” look first in the Boy’s Contest held at Iowa City. December 5. At Oskaloosa, Margaret Madden lied for first place but was relegated to third place because of a technicality. She read “Wheels of Time.” This was only the beginning of Ottumwa High’s success. Margaret Madden. Cline Greer and Archie Fuller, entered respectively, the dramatic, humorous and oratorical divisions or the Stale Contests. Archie Fuller dropped out with a third at the sub-district contest held in Blakesburg. Mar- garet Madden met, her Waterloo in the pre-district contest at Hedrick, where she placed third. Cline Greer continued adding to his string of victories, first at the sub-district, then at the pre-district and district until lie reached the final sta.te contest at Atlantic, April 17, where he placed fourth. ill ORATORICAL 0. H. S. was represented in lln nation-wide Oratorical contests on tin United Slates Constitution by .Morris Bannister. The subject of bis oration was. ‘Webster and the Constitution.” Bannister w; s able to reach the state contest held in Dos Moines, Iowa, April 22, 1925, before he was forced out of the race—just one step between him and the final contest. Morris has another year in which to make an even better record for himself and his school. Perhaps the weakest link in our forensic chain was lln extemporaneous speaking contests. Although Miss Oliver and our contestant, Kdward Bonnifleld. worked hard, there was not enough interest shown by tin other students to force the work across big. Bonnilield placed well toward the top in the two contests he entered and we can well expect better results next year. This year for the first, time, (). II. S. sent delegates to the state musical contests. Sabella Toemmcs, Francis Kirkpatrick and Lawrence DeLano were our representatives a.I the district contest which was held at Iowa City, April II. Here. Francis Kirkpatrick took first place among the sopranos, winning the right to represent us at the State Contest. Lawrence won his way to the finals where lie wa.s defeated by a girl from Iowa City. Sabella has two more years at O. II. S. and great things are expected of her. At the State Contest held April 25, Francis Kirkpatrick placed first in Iowa, making one more red mark in Ottumwa High’s already most prosperous year.

Mr. Yount is not only instrumental as a eoaeh. but also a great influence for cleaner at lib-lies.

Winning only one out of a total of eight games played, the Ottumwa team plunged to a new depth of grid- iron disaster. A closer study of the season however, throws a more cheerful light upon the football year than the proceeding statement would seem to reveal. To under- stand the past season one must appreciate the fact that Coach Yount had to build bis team around but two letter men, neither of great experience. Outside of the Cedar Rapids and Davenport games no team was .ajile to do any promiscuous scoring against Yount's defense. This defensive strength showed itself in the Cedar Rapids game when the national-famed Tigers had extreme difficulty in getting two touchdowns in three quarters against the lighting bulldogs. Again in the final game of the season with our old rival, Oskaloosa, who lost but one game during their whole season, the visitors found themselves at the eiuj of the game dazedly hanging on to a one point victory. In this and also the Fair- field game the squad showed a brand of aggressive never-say-die football, which promises well for next year's team, when they have gained a little more football experience and gridiron knowledge.

II. S. with the Ml. Pleasant game. He lilted in and lllled his position so completely on the team that be won the complete confidence of every basketball fan. He re- ceived honorable mention on the All-State quintette and made the Little Six All- Conference team, lb handled himself and bis team in a most accredited manner, always urging them on with words of advice and encouragement. We lost a worthy athlete and leader when he was graduated. Si I HA Shea was a forward JdVtJwas never backward when it comes to playing basketball. He is WiauJtyifrKpi? a ku iv both on offense and defense. As for shoot- ing baskets we allf kWw tl d Moi Tias an eye for the hoop that few other players have. He has bwiNlhe bisNotunt winner for the team through tout the season, and lliis years sucNiisful bfottcthall record is due greatly to bis efforts. We will be extremely fortuirate in having him with us next year. Sheehan Playing opposite Shea and thus completing the Irish duet, Bcrnie’s eagle eye gave his opponents plenty of trouble. His long suit was floor work and his dribbling was next to impossible to slop. Though the smallest man in stature, Bernic was one of the biggest point makers the team had. Always going at high speed Bernie made a hard man to guard and slipped in a great many baskets which surprised bis opposing team mates. We are now looking forward to next year, when we know that he will again be one of the mainstays of the team. Joe Wagner As one of the principle cogs inwktumwa’s basketball team, .toe pulled down the position of All-State Centei;. «dlflkwas known throughout the state as Ottumwa|s six-footer who could ontjumin u )utplay any center he played against.’ His lioor work was unsurpassed and h aerHrate passing was the lug feature of bis play- ing. His basket shooting Yplpbined vi£lji the defensive work made him a menace to all opposing teams and also made bun a favorite with Ottuimvans and basketball critics. Joe’s place on tlid reani will be a hard one to till, both from a player's standpoint and from the sc.lipol's standpoint. His playing was always clean, but hard, and results were sure Whether he was guarding or shooting for a basket. We are justly proud of you Joe. 1025 i :{ - THE ARGUS Vinci: nt Illuming male lor Biggie” was “Diz Vincent who also in the absence of Wagner held down (lie center position, you could depend on him to always execute his pari of the battle and at all lime pul forth his best efforts for lie team and (). II. S. He was an extremely fast man, good at basket shooting and equally as efficient on defense. As a center he followed close on the heels of Joe in I lie jumping business and held down the guard position to the entire satisfaction of the whole school. Diz should add greatly lo his reputation next year. Hbrdquist Holding down tin throughout Llicyr Honorable Mei t beat and a fac territory. Bigjjio in registering free throws and The learn will look awfully una. and consistent game lity that won for him a lighting spirit that is hard to ast as they are brought into his ensive work but also for his ability quenfly helping himself to a field goal, without you next year, “Biggie.” II MlPEIl Wallie. though playing but a very few games, was always on deck when needed. His greatest ability was his speed and quick work in breaking up plays which when combined with his lighting spirit and team-work made him a very valuable man and a credit to the Ottumwa High School. He can be counted on next year lo add to the glory of the school. Stein hoff Stiny” like Wallie. played in but «1 few games but he made some of the other players step lively to hold their places. He could always be depended upon lo got his share of the baskets thus being a valuable cog in the scoring machine. He has shown himself to be a real aspirant for a steady job at forward position next season. We regret that we were unable to print an individual picture of Earl. 1925 1-4 Swanson ' 1 Swan ie gained the jr pmalion of bemg out of (In shiniest and speediest dribblers thaUhas appended on tin Oltuimva basketball team for some time. His team work made poAdrtle a great many points that should have been accredited to him. We wm ld UVnve undoutbedly seen him in action a great deal more had be not been eliminated by the eight semester rule. Clark This prolonged gentleman held down the center position during the first semester, then In was taken from the quintet by the eight semester ruling. His height was of great advantage both on offense and defense and he always proved a valuable part of the combination. We lost a good man in Tom. Brody Another victm of the eight semester rule. Although not big in stature “Breezy ’ was a real running guard and had lie but bad the rest of the season to continue his steady improvement he would have undoubtedly have made even greater honors for O. II. S. He featured regularly with brilliant offensive and defensive play from bis guard position. Nklson In our opinion “Guard” was Ohio's middle name. His work at the guard position this year showed an adaptability that will certainly place him on the regulars next year. In his defensive work lie kept his opposing forwards from acquiring any note as basket shooters. We are grateful to him for it. 1025 BASKETBALL REVIEW WHEN Coach Yount issued the first cal! for baskctccrs some sixty men ans- wered. By gradual elimination the squad was cut to about fifteen of the most likely candidates. The real work then began, the science of the game was learned, the basket eye put in trim, and condition was developed. Captain Irwin Groves, the only letter man left from last year’s team, was used as a nucleus around which Coach Yount built a machine which we might rightfully term as one of I In most successful basketball teams ever produced in the history of Ottumwa High. Early season games with Muscatine and the Alumni demonstrated to the Ottumwa fans that they had a wonderful team to hack during the rest of tin season. From the very beginning the spirit and hacking of the student body was far superior to previous seasons. No little part of this year's successful record can he attributed to the encouragement given by the students of 0. II. S. The climax of the early season games came with a well-earned victory over the much touted aggregation from Cedar Itapids. Basketball stock look a sudden drop at tin end of the first semester, however, when Groves, Swanson, Clark and Brody were eliminated by the eight semester ruling. .Minus the services of these valuable players the team dropped two link'd fought games, one to our ancient rival. Fairfield and another to Morgan Park, Chicago. However, this gloom was soon broken by the appearance of a Goliath in our midst in the person of Joe Wagner who soon became the basketball idol of every loyal student and townsman. He was first seen in action in the Burlington game when we seeked vengeance for a, former early season defeat from the down-river warriors. In this game the team hit and retained their stride and won nine of the remaining eleven games played. On March the sixth and seventh the team went to the stale sectional tourna- ment held at Albia. They were accompanied by about four hundred loyal support- ers in spito of the fact that they were previously warned that there would be no seats available for them, and they virtually swamped the Albia Hen Coop, alias gymnasium. In the first round of I he tournament wo met the famed Dallas giants and administered to them their first defeat of the season. Two more games were played with Lovilla and Chariton in which Ottumwa outfought and outscored their opponents, thus winning the sectional tournament and the right to compete in the district tournament at Oskaloosa the following week. During the week following the Albia tournament, studies were laid aside and the entire thoughts of the student body seemed to be directed toward the Osky tournament. However, on the day of tin tournament our spirits were dampened by an untimely rain that made the roads impassible and forced many reluctant students back to tin classrooms. In spile of this fact, however, tin team had little difficulty in winning their first game of the tourney from Centerville. This placed us in the semi-finals with Burlington, and needless to say Kelley’s aggre- gation were bent on revenge. In a game which was hard fought, close and full of thrills the Bulldogs snatched the victory when Joe connected with the hoop with a long shot only a few seconds before the game ended, again defeating tin Little Six Champs. With less than three hours rest the team was again forced on the floor to meet Osky’s fast and much reputed quintet in the final game of the tournament. Only those who witnessed this game can appreciate fully the wonderful spirit and tight displayed by our team. It was a great battle from start to finish, being anybody's game until the final gun. Presenting a practically air- 126 THK ARGUS tight defense I In lied and White warriors put up their hardest fought game of the season. Willi Hie score lied fourteen, all the effects of the Burlington game told, and twenty seconds later the 1025 basketball season became history and found Oskaloosa on the big end of a 10 to 14 score. Beginning with practically no experienced material and losing four men at. the end of the semester, Coach Yount developed a team that never knew when to stop lighting. Twenty games played with fourteen victories, finishing second in the Little Six Conference, administering tin only defeat to the Champions, placing in the finals of the district tournament, honored with an all-state center and two men receiving honorable mention, and manifesting a spirit that could not bo broken, are a few of the attributes that constitute the record of the 1925 basketball season. We are now looking forward to another winning team next winter. To replace the men lost by graduation will take lots of hard work ond lots of fight, but watch us. We say—watch us! soiiki u i .r.

WRESTLING DI F. lo the lark of experienced material our wrestling record was not quite as successful as it has been in the last few years. Coach Pago was confronted with the difficult (ask of producing a team from boys who had never before been coached in (lie teeniquo of wrestling. In view of this fact the season was a creditable one. Two dual meets were staged on the home Moor. In the first, one we completely shut out our old rivals, Oskaloosa, but succumbed to a defeat from the vetran Marshalltown grapplers. The team was entered in the state meet where it won four points by Don Wilson taking third in the 175 pound class and Bruce Rogers a second in the 155 pound class. Letters were awarded to Wilson, Rogers, Boyde and F.Chickcring. Practically the entire team will be available next year and with the experience gained this year much is expected from them. 1- X THE A K Ci US TRACK OH. S. opened an extensive track season for 1921 by entering six meets. , Captain Gerald Vincent, half in Her, was the outstanding star of the season, always the first to break the tape on his own race. The Kansas Relays at Lawrence, Kansas, was the first meet of the season in which the Red and Whites were entered. Our two mile relay team, composed of Captain Vincent, Herman, Cecconi and Wilson placed third against teams of record breaking caliber. The team next went to the Drake Relays at Des Moines, where they won first in the two mile relay, third in the Medley relay and third in the two mile National Championship relay. The following week-end, the team entered the Tri-State meet at Fairfield and tied for third in toaj points scored in the meet. Capt. Vincent took first in the half mile high jump and third in the high hurdles. Jack Harris won the iiO, Herman took second in the half mile and Wilson and Cecconi placed second and third respectively in the mile. The Relay team won the Medley Race in excellent time. The team next jeourneyed to Grinned Invitation Meet. Vincent repeated his victories in the high jump and half mile and Herman and Harris received bronze medals in the mile and 10. In this meet the team was entered in the mile relay and on the event. In the State meet on May 17, the team gained II points by Captain Vincent again winning the half mile and placing fourth in the high jump and Jack Harris won first place in the � i0. The climax of the season came when our Captain Di . Vincent gained national fame by winning the half mile in the National meet at Chicago, thus ending his high school track career in a whirlwind fashion. Those receiving letters were Capt. Vincent, Brody, Wilcox, Harris, Edwards, Gilbert, Cecconi and Herman. 1925 PROSPECTS As in basketball and football, Coach Yount is again confronted with the tre- mendous task of building a team out of almost entirely new material; hut the wealth of material available, together with the untiring efforts and exceeding eagerness to have a winning and successful team, the season of 1925 should he a repetition of the glories of 192i. 19 25 120 lo!0 GIRLS ATHLETICS FOUTY O.
