Its life is short and without much recognition or glory, yety its sweet fragrance leaves an everlasting impression on all who knew it, and helps make this world a better place to live in. So our dear friend and classmate, Gertrude Fisher, helped strengthen the characters of all with ivhom she came in contact. Her example of a cheerful and happy lifey short as it was, is one that we tvould do well to follow. MISS LUELLA HIGHTSHOE ¥ Dedication To Miss Hightshoe, Assistant Principal of our High School, who has set an example of loving, un- tiring service, and whose friendship has been in- valuable to us, we the class of 1927 dedicate this Annual.

October 27, 1952. Dear Bailey: I know you can't believe it but just the same—I'm here! And it's great! Ottumwa—but first I’ll tell you how it happened. I was walking down Michigan Avenue, with my arms full of bundles, and just as I started to turn a corner I col- lided with somebody coming the other way. I was so embarassed—I grabbed all my bundles, and was about to rush off when 'the person'' grabbed me. Hello, Paroda Ann. she said. Bailey! It was Janet Smith—I mean Mrs. Don Wilson (Yes. of course!). So she insisted that I pay my old home town a little visit. Result—here I am in Ot- tumwa. at the home of the mayor. Believe it or not—Brute is mayor of Ottumwa. Of course you never hear of it in Wall Street, but is has grow n. A Booming City of 100,000!’ No. Bailey, you'd never know Ottumwa! You should see the manmoth affair they have for a High School now! They’ve retired ours as a Kindergarten. I guess. Jim Smith, and no one else but. is principal now. He says he gained his ex- perience spending so much time in Mr. Hannum’s office when he was in school. The 27’s seem to have taken over most of the coaching jobs around the 1 ligh! Herschel Loveless coaches football. Don Gallagher. Basketball and Don McKinney holds down the w restling end not to mention the debate coach—Ruth Melcher. Besides those, a good majority of the rest of the faculty belong to us. Alfreda Tibbets is head of the Home Economics Department. Elizabeth Bailey is girls’ sw imming teacher. Martha Fritch teaches Juvenile Chemistery. Tad Eller is pro- fessor of Complicated Trigonalgebra. and Florence Reusch teaches Applied Jazz. Dick Noble bids fair to become a second T. A. Has all the requirements—such as leadership of the band and orchestra, a Chevrolet, a white sports outfit and good- looking bachelorship. But say! isn’t it queer that all the people in our class whom we thought were exceptionally talented have just naturally died down! For instance, there's Dar- win New ton. giving lessons on the F rench Harp, and Mildred Shute painting signs 24 for a living. But the law works both ways. Would you ever have predicted that Alice Lancey would be an opera singer, and that Juanita Robinson would have won the Noble Prize for the most daring dancing? You remember that hayseed radio station at Shenandoah? Our own high-and -mighty Darwin Hirsh is radio announcer there now. And while you’re remember- ing. do you recall that they used to have hogcalling contests there? It seems they’re still having them, and in the last one. Bob LaFollette won first place. They still give the same “hick’’ programs, but the sad part of it is. that some of our own one-nine-two-sevens are so well qualified as ‘ hicks.’’ Last night we tuned in—only to hear Esther Skinner and Bill Cooper render a little ditty, entitled, “Where There’s a Will There are Relatives.” and then as a grand climax. Tullio Della Vedova read for us “The Wheels of Time.” By the way. did you hear what swallowed up Verna Law? She tried to get on the stage, but the best she could do was to get the role of Topsy in a road show of ’Uncle Tom’s Cabin. Now she’s married to LJncle Tom. who is really Lawrence Huston. We were riding on the subway the other day (Oh yes! they have one) and whom should we see but poor old Brick Parker, making a living for his wife, she being Bernadine Lyon, by operating the advertising machine. What struck my sense of humor was a quartette, composed of George Dim- mitt. Frank Kent. Mary LaPointe and Helen Kirkhart, who offered to sing at funerals, dances, baptisms or what have you for the wee sum of $25 (a howel). Fmmogene Sinclair is Proprietress of the Mud Beauty Parlors. Ellen Kenworthy runs a cafe for Railroad Men Only, die Nelson has succeeded to “Nelson, the Tailor Has Fits,” and Kenneth Murphy is editor-in-chief of the Courier. He prints all the sports and high school news right on the front page. But the Courier is no longer alone in the field. I m sending you a copy of their rival, the Randall-Graham Dynamite. I want you to read all about Joe Brown, who is fast winning fame as Pitcher of the Little Six Base Ball Team. Our fellow-students arc breaking into politics, too. Don Box is Junior U. S. Senator from Iowa, and they’re talking of running Bob Lyman on the Anti-Law and Order Ticket for president. Carl Davies and Clarence liooth are criminal lawyers. Criminal is right. I guess. Two of our dear old class-mates have gone astray and hit the lecture platform, all because they were disappointed in love. Isn’t that tragic1 We heard Henry Winger the other day hold forth on Why Rolling Pins Should be Abolished from the Home.” I guess he knows why if any one does. He was engaged to Mary Healy, and she jilted him—so he married Laura Boose and it seems, she makes .him run the gauntlet. The other depraved member is Ethel Miller,with Woman’s Rights in Agri- culture for her subject. Poor thing! They thought she’d go insane when John Kittredge got absent-minded and married Mable DeVol, instead of Ethel—but she did worse than go insane—she drives other folks insane! There are lots of '27’s living around here who haven’t done anything startling, unless you consider getting married startling. Anyhow, there’s Eleanor Bersell and Dwight Wallace. Nellie Stodghill and John Tomlin. Florence Willbanks and Claude Hendricks and oh. yes! The most incongruous couple you can imagine! Only three guesses—and they’re wrong, Russ Ruff and—Virginia Curtis. vir-51' 25 ...i...mu................................................ I am so thrilled about Jimmie Fetters. He seems to be a second 1'homas Edison. With the income from his radio-threshing machine, his lovely home and his charming wife, Margaret Hardie, he should be quite satisfied. Bailey did you know that Sam Mahon had turned into a Presbyterian min- ister—and a good one at that? His church in Denver is one of the best and largest in the country, they say. Isn't that simply devastating? We’ve produced several others, Rollin Eaton, Harold Daniels. Delmar Newton, Agnes Schl and Florence Anderson. Pat Johns and Dave Williams have gone into the Used Car business and right next door to them Dan Hamilton sells Fitz-Royces. Jimmie Santee and his wife, who used to be Winona Lundberg. are in the undertaking business, working hand in hand with the cities leading Physician, Jack Waller. Of course, the city is run by '27's. seeing that Don is the mayor. They have four commissioners now, Ed Shorr. J im Peck, Lester Murray and Odena Meagher— Even the dog-catcher is of the silk-stocking sex—Maxine Workman. Helen Porter is manager of the huge new telephone office and Doggie Pencil and Georgia Shartzer have charge of the Orphans’ Home. Glenn Reeve made a fortune in Magnetic Face-Massaging Stock, and has been kind enough to build for the town a new theater. It certainly is a stupendous looking affair. All the art work was done by George Watkins. Last evening we went to this said theater to see the “Bernstein Babies” feat- uring Hazel McCune and Paul Lembergcr. Last week we saw the Rudy Hand Chorus—including Mary Barron. Florence Mallonee, Dorothy Kinnear, Kathryn Gage, Gretna Cobier. Ruth Kemper. Jean McMinn. I la Gosney, Margaret Bibb. Marjorie Fletcher and Helen Hilderbrand. After the performance we went back- stage and found the Manuel twins removing makeup. Francis Martin is stage manager and Paul Burnside the stage-door man. That just reminds me. While I was in Chicago, I met Randolph Hendershott. He has discovered a new compound. H2 O5, which, he claims, will extinguish any fire in twenty-four seventy-fifths of a second. A great improvement on H2 O. don’t you think? He said that Madeline Peterson was assisting him in his re- search work. Oh. yes! when I went up to visit High. I noticed the staff of janitors. There were Jack Clark. Reinhard Hulsebus. Dan Findlay, Oscar McCormack. Paul Rice. Rex Rasmus. Marguerite Barnes. Virginia Kinney and Inez McFadden. Hugh Doran is chief engineer, and Loretta Foster is his assistant. a Velma Stockberger eloped with Roscoe Clark, but he deserted her—so now she and Lucille Gilbert are running a detective agency. The city band, composed mainly of Pete Peppers, director. Ralph Weldon. Eddie Hallgren and a few others, were down to the station the other day to wel- come home Edward Reese, the great lion hunter. He has been in Africa for several years, and he said while there he ran across Clyde Knight, and his wife, Mary Har- din—who arc doing a great work as missionaries. Of course Bob Foster is high mogul of the Packing Plant now. It is a gigantic plant and many new departments have been created. William Potter, now Assist- «-Sr - -— j5 H6� W� WtMWWIl lM 8 flie,e ant Packer, made his fortune by discovering how to make a new face-powder from ground pigtails. Foster Pickens and Pat Osier run a one-horse grocery store on new East Side. They only have one delivery truck, and it's driven by Robert Melcher. All anyone talks about here is Mil Baum, the first Atlantic Ocean swimmer, and Margaret Peterson, I mean, of course. Princess Piltro. You remember how magnificent we thought the new St. Joseph hospital was. Compared to the grand edifice they have now—it isn't, well, it just isn't. It was built by Marjorie Eisenbeis Martin who donated millions of the fortune which she has saved from the alimony her husband. Bard, gives her. Alice Schaub is superintendent and Grace Napier. Helen HofTstetter. Alice Emanuel. Irene Tomlin. Lucille Miller, Marguerite Hines. Grace Matheney, Cleota Carter and Margaret Herzog are all working there as nurses. Bill Prewitt has been cited as one of the greatest surgeons of the Middle West. I le receives hundreds of dollars for operations. I guess he pays his assistant, Helen Kingery, an enormous salary. I just arrived in time for the big scandal. Irene Lee is suing Walter Lane for breach of promise, and of all the hot things that have unearthed! Albert Bisone is her lawyer, Walter is employing Agnes Handleman as his lawyer. The poor judge and jury' The judge is Clayton Jones, and everybody imaginable is on the jury, William Ingcrsoll, Violet Heller, Gwendolyn Koett, Arthur Minor. John Williams. Willis Wilson. Charles Chickering, John Turner, Louise Spurgeon. Maurice Metz- ger, Lemuel Moffett and Valeda Barkley. I am wondering what the verdict will be. You never can tell. We were out riding the other day, and one of our tires blew outl So a man who was working on the railroad section gang nearby came over to help us. and who should it be but Elmer Vaughn. So then, when he found out who we were, he called all the rest of the men over, and every one of them was a '27! There were Bill Manns, Everett Dodds, John Brower, Francis Kapp, Frank Jacques, Fred Engle. Boyd McElroy, and Lee Tallman. They were telling us all about the new C. O. D.. Chicago, Ollie and Denver Railway. George Wagner is in his element, being President of it, and Violet Roberts is Superintendent of Pullman-Cleaning. A big research laboratory, endowed by Earl Dawson, is going up on the out- skirts of the city, just about where Fairfield used to be. Ralph Kirkland and LeRoy Beghtol. both submitted plans for the building and Ralph's were rejected. He was so dissapointed and so angry that he swore he’d get it back on LeRoy somehow. He did—he eloped with his fiancee. Madolyn Malmanger. The building is really marvelous. Their monstrous telescope takes three skilled men. Floyd Torrence, Reginald Wellman and Lawrence Walker to man- ipulate it. Martha Chapman has one laboratory all to herself. She is an ornithologist and she is trying to discover why bluebirds are blue. She has a lot of the old girls helping her, Marjorie McElroy, Florence Plank, Pauline Miller, Mary Schaub and Esther Rees. Imagine! Russell Scott and his two surveyors—John Sullivan and Louis 27 Rogers, are trying to find the length and heighth and diameter of each hill in Ot- tumwa. Frank Chickering is Chief of Police and can you feature Pete Parks, Fire Chief1 He is, though, and he looks just darling in his uniform. Alice Aeringdale is President of the City Improvement League. She and her colleagues, Olive Meeker and Elvera Larson, have revolutionized the city. They tried to make Smoky Row into Aeringdale Boulevard, but Margaret Edithe Ter- hune, who owns all that region of the city absolutely refused to co-operate. It’s a sad story! Mary Catherine Walsh has started an Art Institute in the old Wool worth Store, but the only pupils she has are Elizabeth Connor, Lucille McKee and Gertrude Meyers. Oh! I want to tell you, Marjorie Countryman has started an Old Maid’s Home for the class of 1Q27 exclusively! They wear purple and gold silk uniforms, and every Sunday afternoon they go out walking. They paraded past here the other day, and I saw Irene Cook. Adeline Bissell, Edna Hefiin, Golda Orman, Elizabeth Morrissey, Pauline Black, Margaret Fisher and let me think—Florence Creswell, Mae Whittington, Helen Palmer. Azalee Norris and Ethel Phillips. I think that's all! You never can tell, though! They are so comical, but it’s really pathetic. Ethel Robertson, Janet’s maid, says they’re half-starved; Bailey, I wish we could do something for them. Yet so many, many of the ’27’s have turned out so very keen. We’re a pretty good bunch, you know. We always were, though! Our prestige dates way back when you, may dear Spike, first became Class President. That's a long time ago —but, oh! dosen’t it just give you a thrill when you think of us—’27’s! It makes me want to burst out— Thunder! Lightning! Here we go! IQ27! Yea. Bo! Just miles and miles of love, your wife, Paroda Ann P. S. More love—and tell Miss Styre to come again next week for my man- icure. I m coming home then. ■ -4 28 Class Song One nine two seven The class that Ottumwa is proud she can claim with the rest; One nine two seven We re proud that Ottumwa can count you among her best. Four years of earnest endeavor In building of records that few will repeat; Standing with shoulder to shoulder Rejoicing in triumph and cheer in defeat. Four years of fun and of frolic Forgetting our cares in the joy of the play; Giving the best that is in us To make twenty-seven a name that will stay. Four years we've been here together I ts meant more to us than just words can express; Pals we have been to each other The One nine-two-sevens of dear 0. H. S.

Miss Lois Southard, and the committee of councilmen, Mr. Mike Popchuck and Mr. Ernest Brody, in securing the performance of this mighty spectacle for both afternoon and evening shows. The magnitude of the show at- tracted many out-of-town notables namely, Mr. R. Powell and his wife, formerly Miss Lorene Gentry of Ottumwa, who now reside at Blakesburg, Mayor Frank McElderry of Rutledge, Mayor Earl Starns of Lockridge. and Cline Greer, head athletic coach at Bidwell. The appearance of this show in our famed city was of greatest interest due to the fact that the names of many former Ottumwans were included in its personnel.

So in lieu of the fact that our class is far above the average, we have all moved to a planet, named Sophomorolia. On this planet worldly development has reached its high- est pitch, it is a world far in advance of other worlds, aeons in fact. Science has reached its peak, social welfare is perfected, and legislation and justice are keyed to the supreme quality.

The yell leaders are: Don Holley John Kittredge Paul Burnside -Asiatics Football Review The O. H. S. Bulldogs, under the leadership of their new mentors, Coaches Gillespie and Wing, made a creditable showing for themselves. They won four, tied one and lost four games, though the four “wins were afterwards forfeited, due to an oversight in the eight semester rule. We had one of the stiffest seasons yet scheduled for Ottumwa High. Two of the teams we played were contendors for the State Title in that they went through the season without defeat. The games were exhibitions of football as it should be played, especially the one with Chariton, who as yet had been undefeated. Ottumwa succeeded in putting a damper on their title claims, defeating them 14—o. Schedule: Ottumwa O Cedar Rapids 33 Ottumwa 6 Washington 2 Ottumwa 6 Albia 0 Ottumwa 0 Mt.

H. S. gridiron sport, but just a few outside comments will fit. He was awarded a place in the backfield on the all-state first team by several critics. Don is lost by graduation. Tullio Della VeDova Tullio played one of the tackle positions and he played it to such an extent that he received positions and honorable mention on several critics, all-state teams Tullio is lost by gradua- tion. Ole Nelson Ole” Nelson played one of the tackle po- sitions and he also received mention on all state- teams. Ole is lost by graduation but we feel that our loss is some college’s gain. a Tom Millisack The quarterback s crisp signals would be heard and then the pigskin would come spiraling out from beneath Tom's legs for a perfect pass. Tom played like the veteran he is until he in- jured his shoulder, which laid him up for the rest of the season. Tom is back next year and he should be a thorn in the road of progress to op- posing teams. Jim Smith Jim Smith, another new man. played one of the guard positions. His fight and spirit made him one of the best liked players on the squad. Jim’s chatter will be missed next fall as he too graduates. Stratton Tad” Eller Tad held down the center position and a finer display of nerve and grit has yet to be displayed on the O. H. S. gridiron. He played the last two games of the season with a badly burned hand. Tad’s never say die spirit will be missed next fall as he graduates. € • Vfcff Forrest Pencil Forrest ’ Doggy Pencil was our quarter- back and half-back. His handling of the team and running with the ball attributed much to our success. We arc sorry to have Doggy leave us. Bob Lyman Bob Lyman, a veteran of last year, showed us how the position of end on a football team should be played. An old injury to his knee kept him out of the game for some time. Bob’s fight and spirit will be sorely missed next fall. Frank Jaques Frank Jaques played one of the ends. He was the most consistent player on the team, although a new man at his position he filled it like a veteran. Jake will be lost by graduation. 82 eaasJSm .- Ja frNaacat«MmamawHM Pete Parks Pete Parks was converted from end to one of the backfield positions. His long suit was catching passes and he certainly proved that he had sticky fingers when it came to snaring the pigskin. We lose Pete this year. Bill Prewitt Bill Prewitt held down a guard position and. although a new man, soon made himself perman- ent of the team by a displayal of fight and pep. His playing will be missed next fall. Sam Mahon Sam Mahon played one ot the backfield po- sitions and proved his right to be called a veteran, by fine performances throughout the season, al- though hampered by an old side injury. Sam also graduates. fc 83 Russ Ruff Russ certainly lived up to his name in all the football encounters. He was a new Recruit” but soon proved his worth as a backfield man. We lose him by graduation, and we will certainly miss his fine spirit. Rudolph Hand Rudolph Hand is another veteran of last year. His playing of the end position was enough to satisfy the most critical of critics. He was particularly good on his flying tackles. Rudy leaves us this year. Hank Hammon Hank Hammon played one of the end positions and could be depended to get his man whenever he was called on. Hank will'Be back with us next year and much is to be expected of him. 84 .wvwa«� X� K '!jS V'C._ V’ « «.V....;3 s ww xw Hugh Hilton Hugh “Peanuts” Hilton, a fighter from the beginning of the game “till the last whistle was blown, was a sterling quarterback, but was kept out of the games at the last of the season, due to a troublesome finger. Hilty's” fight and grit will be sorely missed next fall. George Bremhorst George made up for what he lacked in size by his knowledge of football and his ability to use it. Ask anybody who saw the Centerville Game. Much is expected of George next fall in his version of how' the backfield should be played. Gerald McGee Gerald McGee played one of the guard po- sitions and he made short work of all his op- ponents. A fighting spirit and a football ability w'ere possessed by Gerald; he is lost by marriage. Leo Sedore Leo Sedore held down a center position and his accurate passing of the ball was a feature in all his games. Leo should bring joy to the sup- porters of O. H. S. next year. i x Si 85 «ag 06� .......—— Review of Basketball Season When the last gun boomed announcing the close of the 1927 Basketball sched- ule it was with immense satisfaction that we looked back upon one of the best seasons experienced by O. H. S. in a long period of years. Much credit is due to the fighting team which so valiantly prevented the ban- ners of O. H. S. drooping in the dust, however, back of all this was the man who instilled their knowledge of the game, their fight and pep which enabled them to hang up such a record. This man was Coach Wing; a new man at the coaching game, he soon proved his worth by the acid tests placed on his team in meeting some of the best quintets of the state. During the first semester familiar names graced the scoreboard and this team hung up the record of never being beat on their home floor: then Old Man Eight Semester rule came graping along and forced a new team to hold up this fine showing. This team fighting from start to finish ran into Hard Luck at every turn, but in the Sectional Tournament they played the kind of Basketball they were capable of. They were beaten only in the finals of the district tournament by Burlington, which was no disgrace, as there was only a three point margin of victory and Bur- lington was the runner-up for the state title. 86 Basketball Schedule Total Score: L VC O.

In recognition of this he was placed on the All-Little Six second team, although he played only one semester and then was ineligible, on account of the eight semester rule. He was a Captain in every sense of the word and it was due to his work at the guard position that Ottumwa was not beaten on their home floor in the first semester. Leonard “Flash Frasier The popular conception as to what the word flash means is that it is some- thing that is seen one moment and gone the next, and so it was with our Flash, an enemy shot would be taken off the bankboard and then a red and white streak, using a southpaw dribble, would take the ball down the floor to pass off to some waiting mate or to take a shot himself. Len was given a guard position on the first team both in the sectional and district meet and so, great things arc expected from “Flash next year. Joe Brown Joe Brown was a sterling reserve guard. At the start of the season. Joe was considered a regular, but a leg injury received in the first game handicapped him in the remaining contests. Nevertheless, the stocky Bulldog flashed some clever basketball whenever he got into a battle. He was one of the most dependable floor men on the squad and was an accurate basket shooter. 88 -a 3 Pete’' Parks Pete was another forward whose eye was something to be talked about, always fighting and always teaming it up. His playing earned him the right to be called a veteran, as he played last year. Pete will be missed the coming year as he grad- uates. Bob LaFollette Bob could always be depended upon for a fine game at the center position. His pep and fight always helped him to outplay his apponent. Bob was lost through the eight semester rule, and his presence was sorely missed when it came to getting the ball on the tip-off or to ring the loop with a short center shot. Glenn Heavy” Meier Glenn was playing his first year at high school basketball, but this did not keep him from being one of the most consistent players on the court. Heavy made himself known as a guard by his presistent way in grabbing enemy shots off the bankboard. Glenn will be missed next year as he graduates. 89 . ¥• 2:1jr-rwafft ' NaC «ft ‘■Gum� Dave Williams ‘Watch that Williams” was the cry of opposing teams whenever Dave had the ball and his uncanny eye well justified their fears. Dave was acting captain in most of the games of the last semester and his presence on the floor seemed to in- still the rest of the team with their fight and pep. Dave was placed on the first team at center and was awarded the captaincy on the sectional team. Pat Johns Tall, lanky, the ideal build for a center—and Pat certainly made good use of his height; his long suit was to follow up a shot and tip it through the net. His uncanny eye from the middle of the floor caused many an opposing guard minutes of agony. Pat also was lost by the eight semester rule. Russell “Russ’ Ruff Russ was of the cleanest players that ever donned the Red and White attire, a battler from start to finish;and it was his difficult angle shots in a number of games that started an Ottumwa Rally that later on spelled victory. Russ was lost due to the eight semester rule. Clayton Katy Jones Katy was one of the best floor men on the team and this, coupled with a deadly eye, made him one of the most feared forwards in the Little Six during the first semester in which he played. Katy always played Heads up basketball, and many times his words of advice helped a more inexperienced player to keep his head. Cross Country 'This phase of track was well represented in O. H.

He took third place in the Boy's Iowa Nine held at Grinncll. de- livering “An Evening at Chautauqua.” Cline was our representative also to the St?.te Contest giving the humorous selection, Plupv’s Debating Society.” Ed. B. Canny— Ed represented O. H. S. in the Iowa Nine Oratorical Contest held at Oskaloosa, giving the oration “Our National Conscience. We expect great things from him again next year. Paul Tinsley— O. H. S. was represented in the Oratorical branch of the State Contest by Paul Tinsley, who gave The Sword or the Cross. This is Paul's first year as a regular, but he showed great possibilities. Verna Law— Verna was our representative to both the Girls’ Big Nine Contest and to the State Dramatic Contest. She spoke Roses, an original dramatic reading, and showed ability both in her composition and delivery. Miss E. M. Smith, declamatory coach, deserves much credit for the success of our representatives. 127 Debate STATE LEAGUE—NEGATIVE Donald Box—First Speaker. 'This is Don's third and last year of debate. By his thoughtful preparation and his sincerity, Don greatly strengthened the case presented by his team. Ed. B. Canny—Second Speaker. This is Ed’s first year of debating. His natural oratorical ability served him well. Much is expected of him next year. Carl Davies—Third Speaker. Carl is our veteran speaker. While in High School he has participated in debates for four years. His opponents lose hope when Carl takes the floor. In his closing rebuttal speech Davies can be relied upon to win for O. I I. S. In the Iowa Nine League, the question was, Resolved that A National De- partment of Education should be Established. Our affirmative team, consisting of Don Box, Don I Jolley, and Carl Davies met Fairfield at Fairfield. The negative, defended by John Lowenburg, Ed. Canny, and Bailey Webber, clashed with Burlington here. Although both teams were defeated they showed great ability as debators. Much credit is due to Mr. Money, debate coach and Miss Oliver, assistant coach, for the splendid work of the debators. 128 dp ® XU 3 Jtj...„j£ « £ «.Jk.. Debate STATE LEAGUE—AFFIRMATIVE Don Holley—Second Speaker. Although a beginner, Don's logic and ease on the stage made him extremely valuable. Fortunately Don has another year. Bailey Webber—Third Speaker. Bailey completes his third and last year of debating for O. H. S. As third speaker, he carefully sounded out the contentions of his team. We will miss you next year, Spike. John Lowenburg—First Speaker. As first speaker John proved a valuable asset to the team. He is left for next year. In the state league the question for debate was Resolved that Congress should enact Legislation Embodying the Principles of the I laugen Farm Relief Bill.' On January 7. our Affirmative team defeated Centerville here 2 to 1. In the second round of the state series, our team lost to the strong Newton Delegation 2 to 1, at Newton, thus eleminating us from the League. Our Negative team was undefeated, winning over Albia 2 to 1. at Albia, and conquering Moravia here 3 to o. fc 120 ?£ MitiS C.__________'X............................Si • ■i '- . i V. v'i. ’ • � «0 « «fee Extemporaneous Speaking The Home Extemporaneous contest was held Friday. April 2, and was without doubt the best in years. Francis Cawley, by his well organized presentation, and by his appealing delivery, won first place and the right to represent O. H. S. in both the State and Iowa Nine Leagues. Ottumwa was also fortunate in obtaining the district meet, held here April 20. As the home contest showed. O. H. S. has much splendid material for next year. The success in this activity is largely due to the untiring efforts of Miss Oliver and Mr. Money. 130 tMiMWigiMW(ntKK ?.____£ Ttusic Music is the art of the prophets, the only art that can calm the agi- tation of the soul; it is one of the most mag' nificent and delightful presents God has given us.
