As we came down the steps from the train, we were met by Mr. Hofmann, very happy and prosperous looking, somewhat stouter than before. Evidently married life with Blossom Harper had not disagreed with him. Stepping into one of the long line of Clay Top Cabs, driven by Arthur Dimmitt, we were quickly whizzed to the Mire Hotel. After removing the dust of travel we descended to the lobby where Phil was waiting to escort us to his factory where we were to be entertained for the evening. Phil had made a name for himself by establishing the largest Beauty Clay factory in the world, the Iowa Sediment Co. It was there that a radio pro- gram was to be given, initiating the largest receiving and broadcasting station in the United States—in fact the world. Let us pause here to explain the miraculous and rapid growth of our city within the last fifteen years. Iowa, where the pavement ends and the mud begins, is no more. Now, a network of hard roads may be seen from any of the air routes which pass over the state thrice daily. I hat pasty, slimy, mixture of earth and water which all of us have made into pies, and many of us have ploughed through to watch the chosen few, our football team, waller to victory, has been found to possess most unusual and most beneficial properties as beauty clay. 6,730,05Q people of our great nation now occupy the 326 square miles of the metropolis of Ottumwa. In its progress it swallowed the former sites, namely: Rutledge, Dahlonega, Agency, Fremont. Bear Creek. Wright, Cedar, Munterville, Albia, Hedrick, Eddyville, Eldon, Fairfield, Chillicothe and Oskaloosa. Coming back to our story—we started on a tour of inspection through Phil's factory— The Iowa Sediment Co. After the tour was completed we were ushered into the main auditorium where the radio was located. There we were introduced to Mr. Charlie Bookin. head of the sales department; Phil's private stenographer. Izetta Alsdorf; his secretary, Harold Wilson; and Jacob Cohen. Manager of the experimental division. As you know, in all experiments something must be experimented on. The following were Mr. Cohen's victims: Dorothy Head, Nellie Rumph, Myrtle Kephart, Alice John- son. Lucille Lemley. Margaret Keltner. and Thelma Finiey. We all gathered around the radio, and the operator, August Diehn, began to pick up the different stations for us. First a little static, then this was heard from Station P-I-C, Underwood, Ala- bama. Mr. Bernard Kamerick will now give the thirteenth talk in his series of lessons on the Pick and Peck system of typewriting.

The bedtime story to- night. kiddies, is about the big white wooly Polar bear who went to sleep on an ice- berg and froze to the ice. Now. children, wasn't that too bad? Although we were glad to hear from Wilford we turned to the next station and heard station B-U-G. Portland. Oregon. Hazel Drake will now give an illustrated lecture on The Ladybird and its Haunts.

Football Review Again, as always, under the Yount regime, Ottumwa's foot ball squad set up an enviable record of six wins and three losses. The losses sustained were by the narrowest of margins, a lone point being the deciding factor, as when the Roosevelt High. Des Moines game was dropped 13 to 12. The season was an idea 1 one for a “mudder foot ball team, for only two games were played on dry fields. Since our team was acknowledged as an exponent of the open game the mud was decidedly detrimental to our success, but in spite of that fact the fellows put eleven brawny shoulders into eleven of their opponents solar plexus and emerged from each game with a most creditable showing. The Albia. Washington. Roosevelt. Cedar Rapids and Osky games were of the variety that keep you in anxiety till the final whistle has announced the end of the contest. The others were more or less runaways for 0. H. S., not because of their op- ponents lacking in ability but because of our team s spirit and efficiency. Our team gave their all and we rejoice with them in their record. Schedule: Ottumwa 25 Hedrick 0 Ottumwa 7 Washington 6 Ottumwa 6 Albia 0 Ottumwa 13 Cedar Rapids iq Ottumwa 12 Mt.

An intense lover of both games, he in- stills that love in his proteges. His players know the game from the ground up. from fundamentals to the finer points of the game. I f his team loses, he is the first to console them, if they win, the first to congratulate them. A real man. a leader par excellence, liked by the boys who work under his tutelage; no school could acquire a finer coach to instruct its young manhood. Bernie Sheehan, Captain As a leader is. so is his team. Bernie Shee- han. captain of 0. H. S.'s foot ball team, an elus- ive. sidestepping, stiffarming, pivoting fighter, strong on the offensive and a hard hitting Irish- man on the defensive, must have realized this— for his excellent leadership, combined with his natural ability gave the team the idea that they possessed an inspired’' leader, and as a result O. H. S. had eleven hardhitting ’ inspirations'' on the field. Jim Shea Some fellows have the knack of doing any- thing with equal and excellent ability, Jim was certainly an exemplification of this type. The first half of the season Jim played his regular position as center. His excellent passing and brainy defensive work made him a big cog in the machine. The last half of the season he played fullback and—oh boy, how he did smash. Jim graduates and we know that this is our loss and some college's gain. 86 _ Wally Harfer Wally is the type of player who is a joy to his coach. Conscientious, hard working, and above all. possessing the physical and mental attributes of a 'star. ' Wally gave his all to the team and we fear it will be many a day before O. H. S. is blessed with another player of his ability and level headedness. Wally w ill matriculate at Harvard and we are confident that in the future a former O. H. S. star will shine smong the other constel- lations in the big three'. Don Brute Wilson An All-state honorary position represents the acme of success to every foot ball player, and Don achieved that for which many strive, but few' are chosen. Don used his hands, strength and brains to smear opponents' plays, and my, how he did ride an opposing defensive player out of a line. For his consistently brilliant playing he was awarded a place on the Iowa High School Athle- te's all-state eleven. Don will again wear the red and white of O. H. S. next year. 0 0 o 0 r 0 o 0 o 0 0 0 o 0 0 Ole Nelson Science personified, 170 pounds of electrically charged human flesh, plus an inborn love of foot- ball and the result is Ole Nelson. Ole played tackle and the mere know ledge that he w'as play- ing on either side of the line was sufficient to cause the opposition to center their attack on that side. Ole w'ascool whencoolness was needed, but w hen fire was needed to incite the team he resembled Vesuvius. “Ole will remain another year to push O. H. S. up the ladder to athletic supremacy. .. 0c (fAR G Cl 87 Don Foster Pure, unreserved nerve held for Don his place on the first team after an unfortunate in jury had placed him on the hospital list. Don. displaying Spartanic nerve, refused to be relegated to the sidelines and played a remarkable game at center in the Osky game. A fighter, first and last. Don inspired his fellow players to such an extent that they strove to emulate him. which is a proof of the wonderful character Don possessed. 1 0 o 0 o O 0 o 0 o o 0 Homer Wolf One hundred and ninety pounds little. 6 foot 2 inches short—Homer Wolfs physical at- tributes. Guard or tackle at the coaches wish, he was a behemoth of strength in one of the strongest lines O. H. S. has ever boasted. Homer used his hands so efficiently on the defense that the opposing player’s pulchritude was often ruined before the end of the engagement. It is with much regret that we realize Homer has played his last game for O. H. S. Pete Parks A long spiraling forward pass, hurled with deadly accuracy far over the opposing defense, the ball is nearing the end of its aerial flight, seemingly, it will fall incompleted—then a speedy, stocky young man dashes out of nowhere, re- ceives the ball directly over his head on his finger- tips and dashes over the goal line. That was Pete Parks' specialty act. reviewed to perfection in almost every game. Combine this with low, deadly tackling, splendid blocking and an innate accuracy for solving his opponent's attack and you must realize that Pete’s playing is a fine ex- ample of Foot ball as it should be played. r T4 R G U 88 Oo'« Bob Lyman hollow the Ball is drilled into every foot ball team from the beginning to the end of the season. Bob followed the ball as the children of Hamel in follow ed the pied piper. He recovered fumbles, turned in plays to the queen's delight, and boxed his tackle with admirable ability. l ob will again grace the team with his presence next year. Sam Mahon l ighting, loyal, dependable Sam.. Hard tackling, capable smashing of the line, picking his holes with an uncanny surety, and deceptive open field running, would earn for Sam a place on any team. Sam never let up in his efforts to do his bit to better the team and we are indeed fortunate that he will return next year. We take the liberty to predict an all state berth for Sam. 0 o 0 o 0 o 0 o 0 0 0 © o o 0 Tullio Della Vedova Always the greatest successes have been achieved by men who were striving for the heights in fields which they loved. Tullio loved foot ball—he ate. drank and slept foot ball—re- sult—a raging, powerful, scientific young man w ith a do or die spirit in the center of O. H. S.’s line. O. H. S. lauded him to the skies, opponents trembled as he flung back play after play with no gain.' Our beloved Italian will fight again for O. I I. S’s. glory next year. .. G Cl 53N! 3 o„. 89 Guy Graham Guy Graham—Sportsman. He fought, fought, fought. From the first to the final whistle he gave his all. and when he walked off the field, whether victor or conquered. Guy still possessed enough mental strength to smile. Guy played guard and it was his brilliant work that was directly responsible for the failure of each and every play of the opposition directed at his po- sition. Guy played steadily and dependably and he will be much missed this fall. 0 « 0 o o o o tr 6 Everett Vincent Diz played at one of the halfback positions, and play he did, to the full sense of the word. No let up in him. Diz played for the honor of O. H. S. and his fine running and defensive playing made him an outstanding luminary in each game he played. Diz is lost to the team through grad- uation, so O. H. S. must recover from another severe loss. Phil Morris Short and stocky, Phil hit a line so low and hard that nothing short of a miracle ever threw him for a loss. Phil was as consistent a ground gainer as ever graced an O. H. S. team and con- sistency. not just occasional flashes of brilliancy, is the most needed requisite of a star. Phil di- agnosed an opponents play almost before it had started and he filled holes in the line and even back- ed up the ends, something not absolutely required of a fullback, to perfection. We will lose Phil and this is one of the greatest losses next years team will sustain. 90 Oe Gerald McGee Hard working, foot ball loving, big. brainy and fast. Jerry could make any school’s foot ball team without much trouble. Jerry was just a sophomore so O. H. S. is certain of one star in the future. He played foot ball because foot ball was made for him, as our opponents will testify. Lafe Dupy Quarterback de luxe, Lafe’s generalship, and coolness in moments of greatest stress rendered him of great value to the team. Lafe would mere- ly glance at the positions his opponents had taken on the defense and all the weakness of that de- fense would be photographed on his alert brain. The correct play for the situation would then pop into his mind and the opposition would be forced to attempt to turn back a play directed where they least expected it. Lafe has left school, but we hope he will return. « 0 o o o 0 0 0 o 0 0 Tom Millisack I 'cw players are successful in making a team their first year out. but Tom did. because he pos- sessed quality, quantity, speed and brains. Iom welcomed criticism, kind or bitter, so that he might better his game; but when he stepped on the gridiron he immediately began to rid himself of all those rankling criticisms on the personage of his worthy opponent. Tom returns to the fold next year so we are certain of another position being filled capably. .. o r fd R G Cl . ) Forrest “Doggy” Pencil Forrest possessed unlimited speed, and used a brilliant change of pace to deceive opposing tacklers. Forrest’s speed enabled him to pull down man after man who had seemingly eluded O. H. S’s. secondary defense. Bill Boone When you search for someone in whom to place your faith you search first of all for one whose chief characteristic is dependability. When O. H. S. is looking for someone in whom to place her faith she calls for Bill. So it was in foot ball. Rudolph Hand “Hit ’em hard” was “Handy's” motto and hit ’em hard he did. When he tackled an oppos- ing player they went down and stayed down. The number of times that a play circled “Handy’s end were few and far between, indeed, it could hardly be accomplished. Handy re- turns next year, so one position is certain to be completely filled. .. R G (i . George Bremhorst A speedy halfback, George could fill either of the regular’s places without any loss in strength to the team. George possessed the knack of stopping an attempted end run before it even reached the scrimmage line Bard Martin Service rendered—satisfactorily, that was Bard's motto. Although a sub, his playing each night, in practice or when he was put into a game, kept the regulars quavering, for they realized that the slightest slip on their part and Bard would step into their position. 92 Review of Basketball Season The basket ball team of 1926 rendered an excellent account of itself, both in percentage of games won, and in the wonderful spirit which they displayed from the beginning to the end of the season. During the first semester, practically a veteran team represented O. H. S. on the cage floor, but three of them, Vincent, Sheehan and Captain Shea were lost at midyear through the operation of the eight semester rule. This team emerged victorious in five out of eight games. The second semester, Coach Yount was forced to build practically an entirely new team. This team w'as composed of La Follette and Johns, center; Steinhoff. Ramey and Mahon, forwards; and Harper. Nelson. Hilton and Wilson, guards. After a rather inauspicious beginning this team terminated the season with five out of six victories, including the tournaments. The fighting Bulldogs improved gradually as the season advanced, and, al- though they entered the Fairfield tournament with the dope against them, they proved their ability by defeating Eldon, Fairfield and Mt. Pleasant, the three strongest teams in the tournament Burlington ended the Bulldogs aspirations by defeating them in their first game in the District Tournament at Centerville. The personnel of the team was as follows: Capt. Shea. Sheehan. Vincent. Nelson, Stienhoff. Harper. Ramey, La Follette, Johns, Mahon, Wilson and Hilton. ..

G Ci 53Kd 2 o. 94 Captain Jim Shea Jim was one of those rare athletes who are so well designated by the term versatile. J im was only eligible for the first half of the season, but in that short time he played forward, center, and standing guard, and played each in a most ex- cellent manner. Jim s size, combined with his dribbling, keen eye and brilliant defensive work, rendered him valuable to the team, and a terror to opponents. Bernie Sheehan If the Irish temperment was ever displayed on a basket ball floor. Bernie s was. His fight and go were outstanding characteristics of all O. H. S. players, but he did not lack sportsmanship, as so many of his type do. He played his hardest, and that Irish grin covered his face whether he won or lost. He could dribble, pivot, shoot, pass, and cover his man with the best of them, and will be much missed next year. Everett Vincent Diz'was another of the wearers of the Red and White who was graduated at mid-year. Diz was the speediest man on the floor and simply ran away from the opposition. He was placed at running guard, and was all over the floor on defense. Diz” passed accurately, dribbled deceptively, and shot with unerring accuracy, making him one of the basket ball luminaries of O. H. S. 95 Lawrence Nelson Ole starred at standing guard. Lucky was the man who skipped by “Ole, for he's big as Gibralter, agile as a cat and has the stickest fingers imaginable. “Ole never fumbled, and secured every rebound after an opponents shot. His uncanny accuracy on long shots pulled O. H. S. over the line in several games. He was given All State mention and placed on the second All Little-Six team. Earle Steiniioff Anything that a basket ball player should be able to do, Earle would do. and do it in a manner that was distinctly his. His ability was such as is possessed by few. but his greatest asset was his uncanny caging of a great majority of his shots. From any position, any place on the floor. Earle could shoot, and drop the ball through the loop. In addition he was an adept dribbler, passed with either hand and solved an opponents attack with the greatest ease. Earle's loss is a severe blow to next year's team. Wally Harper Wally was all over the floor, squelching the other team's offense, pivoting, dribbling, passing and shooting, as though the owner of more fight than two ordin- ary players. Wally would never admit defeat until the final whistle and this fact alone made him deserving of much commendation. Wally will be graduated in June and takes with him our best wishes for his future success. .oo r T4R G Cl 96 John Ramey The smallest player on the floor in stature. Jack was a giant in playing ability. His knack of breaking up opponent’s plays on defense, coupled with his keen and almost unfailing eye. made him of inestimable worth to this year’s team. Yet these would be nothing in themselves were it not for his love for hi s team and his willing- ness to help at all times. His motto was ’’I’ve got to do it. and do it he did. All credit to you, Jack. Pat Johns Our elongated center was a great factor in the team's success. Pat seldom failed to get the tipoff, and thus O. H. S. secured the advantage of first threatening their opponents loop. He followed in shots to perfection, and caged numerous shots as a result of this ability. Pat will grace next year’s team with his presence, and his scoring and defensive ability will be a great asset. Sam Mahon Beginning with practically no experience. Sam developed into one of the strong- est players of the squad. His height was of considerable help to him, enabling him to ’play above the others' heads.” Sam possessed much shooting ability and scor- ed in every game into which he was injected. As much as he has improved this year. Sam should be one of the regulars around w hom Coach can build his team next year. Bob La Follette As center and forward. Bob’s star shone as brightly as any of the other bem- inaries on the team. What is the reason for his brilliance1 What endeared him to every O. H. S. fan1 It was his all around ability, coupled with his likable per- sonality. Bob shoots, dribbles, pivots, passes and plays defense w ith the best of them, and will be very valuable to next year’s team. Don Wilson Don was another inexperienced player who develpoed into a star. Don’s im- mense size made him most difficult to guard, enabling him to cage goal after goal. l)on is very speedy for such a big fellow and follows the ball beautifully. A moun- tain of strength, speed, agility and ability, he made his presence felt on the team and will be much missed next year. G Cl 97 Wrestling Team The wrestling team completed an enviable dual meet record, losing only one match in three meets. Keokuk was defeated twice. 37 to o and Knoxville once. 34 to 5. At the State meet at Ames, several of the fellows survived the first round but were eliminated in the second, so that we were not fortunate enough to place a man in the finals. The team owed its success to its hard working coach. Mr. Page, who was on the mat at all hours, that he might develop a winning team. His men were ex- pertly trained, both in the fundamentals of the mat sport and in its finer points. Although his team did not gain any points at Ames, he succeeded in his greatest aim that of building the mentality and physique of the boys into those of real men. The wrestlers are: Top Row—Ferguson. Sprinkle, Sample. Ghaham, Rogers, Jones. Coach Page, Knight. Bottom row—Wallace, Hammond, Chickering, Newton, Carson, Chick- ering, Arnold. os Track The Track prospects of O. H. S. for 102b assume about the same status as a “dark horse in the Kentucky Derby. Only three letter men are eligible for in- terscholastic competition and the rest of the places must be handled by newcomers. The loss of Dizette Vincent, sterling half miler, J im Shea, hurdler supreme, and Joe Wagner, record breaking weight man, is a severe blow, but the racing Bulldogs are digging their spiked running gear into the cinders as never before, to prove to their backers that O. H. S. will gain new laurels this year. The dashes are best provided for because Traul, Woods and Mitchell have displayed considerable talent and bid fair into the record class among the hundred, and two-twenty specialists. Captain Barry, Bernie Hand, and McElroy will answer the starter s gun for the four-forty, so we are certain of a good number of points in that event. Huston. Nimocks and White are the class of the milers, and are fast develop- ing into a sure winning aggregation The field events are woefully weak with the exception of the weights which will be propelled through space by Delmar New ton, young Hercules of O. H. S. Casting an appraising eye over the field of budding talent we do not hesitate to forcast that O. H. S. will compile a record in 102b, no less imposing than that of former years.

' This staff is chosen by the faculty, mostly from the Senior class, the under classes each having two representatives. The staff has worked hard to make the 26 annual a creditable one. and much credit is due to Miss Leven. the faculty adviser, who has given her untiring effort to make the book a success. The art staff, under the supervision of Miss Patterson, has cooperated, and has helped to make the book individual and new. In publishing an annual there are always many difficulties that arise and it is necessary to have a dip- lomatic. and persevering staff, if these are to be over- come. However, these problems have all been solved by the cooperation of the individuals, committees and the gallant support of the student body. ..

The reserve system, organized and operated by the student council, has been a special phase of the council's work for the last two years. In connection with this the council members act as librarians and inspectors of the halls. This year they presented to the student body an honor creed which has been very helpful. They have had mottoes hung in the halls, and placards placed in each room. The purpose of the council is to form rules to further the best interests of the students. Under the faithful guidance of Miss Rose Miller, the council has succeed- ed in making O. H. S. a better school. The members are: Wallace Harper—President Morris Bannister - Vice-president Rosma Hengen—Secretary Mary Johnstone Dan Hourihan Bailey Webber Verna Law' Don Wilson Margaret Emery Donald Box Cline Greer Don Holley John Low'enberg Francis Cawley 111 Student Council Reserves The Student Council Reserves, a comparatively new organization of the student council, has proved highly successful this year. Members were elected from each Advisory group, the Seniors electing five members from each group; the Juniors three members; Sophomores two members; while each Freshman group was entitled to one representative. This group was even more thoroughly organized, by having a captain reserve in each advisory group, by whom various school projects could be put across more efficiently. The hall duty is, perhaps, the chief function of the reserves, and this has proved to be a chief asset to the student body. Every period of the day students are stationed in the hall and only those who have pink slips are permitted to pass. It has been found that disturbance is almost entirely curbed through the vigilence of the S. C. R. The organization of this group is due to Miss Rose Miller, under whose guid- ance student government has decidely progressed. 112 The Argus News The Argus News, “A live paper from a peppy school ' is published by the Journalism classes, under the supervision of Miss Ocea Rawlings.

H. S. Witness the red balloons at the Armistice Day Game, the red and white caps at the Basket Ball Games, the cowbells, and most of all. the noise. At the State tournament their unique plan of seating, and their support of the visiting teams was lauded from all over the State. The Howling Bulldogs owe much of their pep to the faculty advisers, Miss Norris and Mr. Crozier, their yell leaders and their officers who are: Polly Kidd and Bob Lyman—Managers. Marguerite Stoessel—Secretary. .. o(r €A R G Cl . 123 Yell Leaders What’s a game without lots of yells, and what are yells without some good peppy yell leaders'? This year's yell leaders have proved to be always enthusiastic, never afraid of work, never hopeless of winning a game until it is over, and then ready to show the visiting team that we were good losers. This year there were six yell leaders—three girls and three boys, chosen by try- outs. At the foot ball games they vied with each other in getting pep and enthu- siasm aroused. We owe much praise and credit to such efficient yell leaders. They arc : Mildred Erland. Mildred Baum, Maguerite Stoessel, Don Holley Gerald Beebe, John Kittredge 0 ..

He also won second place at the District De- clamatory contest held at O. H. S. in March, reading Plupy’s Debating Society. Be just as successful next year. Cline1 Verna Law represented Ottumwa High School in the Iowa Nine Contest at Muscatine. Her humorous selection. Oi Such a Family received much favor- able comment wherever she appeared. Verna has much dramatic ability and will undoubtedly do good work next year. Charles Mitchell, reading his Dramatic Selection. The Coward, placed first in the Home Contest, proving to his audience that his ability was not to be lightly spoken of. Morris Bannister has made a reputation during his high school career, as being one of our silver tongued orators. This year Morris placed second at the Iowa Nine oratorical contest held at Davenport. He delivered The Spirit of American- ism by Franklin K. Lane. He also received second at the Preliminary contest at Blakesburg. Since Mr. Lane's speech was debarred in the contest, Morris used his own address, Webster and the Constitution. John Ramey was the O. H. S. declamatory representative in the Dramatic Class. John won first place at the preliminary contest held at Blakesburg with the dramatic selection The Alien.” His continued success won for him first place at Agency and the right to represent Ottumwa at the sub-district contest held at Allerton, where he won second place. John’s work in declam has helped to put our school on the map. ..o r r4RGCi5K 3� o.. 128 Forensic Club 6 The Forensic Club has just completed it s first year. It was formed to pro- mote interest in forensics, and has among it s members all of the debators—state and big nine, extemporaneous speakers and all those interested in forensics. Al- though it is the youngest club in O. H. S. it is already functioning smoothly, under the direction of Mr. Money who also has charge of the debating.

Bernard, as our first speaker, always gave a thoughtful discussion of the mat- ter in question, and by his personality and sincerity, greatly strengthened the case presented by the team. I he team will be greatly weakened by the loss of Bernard, next year. Bailey Webber—Second Speaker. This was Bailey s first year as a regular, but his work was among the best. His ease on the stage, and ability in rebuttal made him among the strongest men on the team. Bailey will be left for next year. Charles Bookin—Third Speaker. Charles also completed his first and last year as regular. His work on rebuttal was exceptionally good, while his constructive argument was clear and concise. We will miss you next year. Charles. I he question at stake in the state league was: Resolved that the U. S. govern- ment should own and operate the coal mines. The state league champion is de- termined by a process of elimination—our state league team was so unfortunate as to draw the state champions the first debate, hence the loss, but even so, only two and two-thirds points separated the two teams. Later in the season this team defeated Brighton. ..o(r r4R G Q 53N o o0. 130 Iowa Nine AFFIRMATIVE TEAM Edward Tullis—First Speaker. This was Ed’s second year of debating. By his careful work and consistant preparation Ed. beat down the arguments of the Opposition. Donald Box—Second Speaker. It was Don’s first year of debate but he proved to all that an inexperienced man can be extremely logical. Don is left for next year. Carl Davies—Third Speaker. Carl rounded out his third year on the team with yet another one to go. Carl’s experience proved extremely valuable especially in rebuttal, which he always closed with a careful summing up of the defects in the Opponents arguments. The question for the Iowa Nine was: 'Resolved that the present Japanese Ex- clusion Act be repealed in favor of the Gentleman's Agreement.’’ We defeated Washington, but lost the debate with Burlington. 131 Iowa Nine NEGATIVE TEAM Clarence Booth—First Speaker. Clarence rounded out his second year of debating. Clarence was not a flashy speaker but his calm logic and reason convinced the judges that he was right. Clarence is left for next year. Gerald Beebe—Second Speaker. Gerald gave a good account of himself in the Washington debate. Due to unforseen circumstances Charles Bookin was second speaker in the Fairfield debate. Herbert Box—Third Speaker. Herbert’s force and logic made him very valuable as third speaker. He has concluded his second and last year of debate for O. H. S. REVIEW After being beaten by Washington with a 3 to o decision, the team came back and surprised the school by defeating the Fairfield team, which won the Champion- ship in the State league, 2 to 1. ..

Edward Tullis won first with his address. America's Contribution to (Con- stitutional Government.” John Ramey placed second with “The Constitution and Abraham Lincoln. Edward Tullis represented O. H. S. at the District Contest, held in Ottumwa. This work has been most successfully coached by Miss Smith. Due to limited time we cannot print the finals of the Extemporaneous speaking. In the Home Contest, after about twenty candidates had worked for a month. Bernard Kamerick was given first; he represented Ottumwa in the State league. Charles Bookin second, represented Ottumwa in the Iowa Nine. Ed. Tullis was third and Don Holley fourth.
