April i . i c 11—June 29, iQ2t Class Song of Twenty-Eight We hint’ corne to the turn in the trail of life Where the setting sun throws its ray Down the path where we journeyed together And lingered along the way. Dour happy years we have struggled, and played I land in hand in life's solemn game. Oh those years were like the sunbeams In the dark, that suddenly fade' Chorus : 7 hrough strife and joy we fought the game with a common hope and aim. We bore aloft the lag of Truth and kept it free from shame. In work and play we always strove with courage to meet our fate. And ever to fame, higher rises the name of the class of twenty-eight. Fvry noble act and fair ivord of friend. From the past, returns to each heart. As in this final song we lend Our voices before we part. We do not grieve, for sweet memories Of days bygone will remain. To embellish the way till another day, W hen we shall all meet again. L. Dale Hern. Oh life is all merry! O life is a song! With hearts care free, though the days may be long. Why lcx k to tomorrow while today is yet here, And this is the merriest time of the year?

SMITH Music ATHLETICS The Pep Club Fnthusiasm is the geniusj)f sincerity, and truthlaccomplishes no victory without it The Pep Club has been organized with membership made up from the three representatives from each other organization in school. The purpose of the club is to furnish the nucleus for the enthusiasm and pep at all the games and contests of the school. At every game the club makes the old gym ring with their yells; or make the songs and outbursts of pep ring out over the hills around the athletic field. During tournaments held at our school state referees and officials have com- plimented our sportsmanlike support of the teams and have commended the sys- tem of dividing the one-time so-called Howling Bulldogs and therefore giving howling support to the various teams which participate in these tournaments. The club often sponsors the pep chapels that are given preceding games. Athletic officials of our school have given a lot of credit to this club for splendid cooperation, persistent attendance at the games, and the much talked of sportsmanlike yelling Dan Shea Roswell Johnson Gordon Beck Dick Davis Edgar Lovell Vera Sadler LaRue Williams Lois Southard Ruth Bright Hazel Criley Ruby Markell Phylis Lancey Ray Graham Keith Lowe Raymond Gilger Jordan Work Bertha Cresswell Helen Madden Mable Palmer Martha Peterson Dorothy Peck Dolores Meagher Helen Johns Greta Zaffle Len Frazer Sam Mercer William Murphy Dick Evans Helen Wilford Corrine Ferguson Marian Wind Eloise Anderson Elaine Townsend Doris Kling Frances Gilmore Gerald Lawson Clint Edmonson Merle Wilson Phil Davies Virginia Elliot Janet Pickens Helen Wilkins Virginia Suechting Charlotte Kitteredge Edith Milliasack Hazel Orth—Faculty Member Katherine Bailey Cheer Leaders Persistence Effort Pays Don Holley Phil Davies Gordon Traul Marguerite Stoessel Hazel JeanCriley Cheer Leaders generally come first and last—first in leading the school in the leading of the teams into victory, and last in the leading of the school to cheer the victors of the winning events or the vanquished in outcomes not so successful. To this little group of plucky boys and girls should come a lot of praise On the coldest days in October at the football games: in crowded gymnasium basketball crowds, or before the student body, we find these peppy, enthusiastic individuals ready to lead in song or veil. They automatically are the organizers and leaders of the Pep club which functions as the nucleus for student pep at all the school contests Sunny September days see a foot- ball squad in its early autumn practice—then the days shorten and frost falls—and there’s Pep—and big games—Turkey Day with Osky touchdowns and cheers; Bulldogs and pep.

Nothing ends in BOYS' ATHLETICS Mens’ Letter Club L. W. Tiede. as business manager of athletics and our school, is here given a place because he has to a great extent made our success in athletics possible. In this first year in this office he has been largely responsi- ble for the Championship team and the laurels which have come to our Bulldogs. He is not only successful financially but he is much endeared to the hearts of the student body. Mr. Tiede personifies 0.1 I S. pep, enthusiasm, and loyalty. The Boys' Letter Club is an honorary organization composed of all men who have earned athletic or manager's letters Ushers for all basketball games are chosen from the Letter Club. The qualifications for an athletic letter and therefore for membership to the Letter Club are for football and basketball, one must plav one more than half the quarters in the season; for track, one must either earn ten points individually or place in a state meet: for w restling, letters are given to those who win in dual meets or state meets. Manager's letters may be earned by a student who takes care of the football equipment, and keeps the field house in good condition during track or football season. Manager s letters can be earned only in football and track, as a student manager is unnecessary for basketball and w restling. The club sponsors an annual dance and this past year held a dance in honor of the State Championship Team. The club is planning to hold monthly dances next vear. E. W. TIEDE Busikkss Man.m.k.k Football Although in point of games won and lost, the past season has been anything but success- ful. Coach Gillespie deserves much credit for the sportsmanlike attitude of the team both in victory and defeat. It is to be regretted that Coach Gillespie has turned from the paths of teaching to conduct a business in Minnesota. Perhaps the root of the evil was in lack of veterans. Not a letterman graced Coach Gillespie w ith his presence this last year. But a troupe of Sophomores and Juniors came to the rescue and a fair team was the result. Old Man Hard Luck dogged the Bulldogs heels and was absent but once or twice during the whole season. ...... , . . . EBEN GILLESPIE I en men will be back from this year s Coacii eleven and with a goodly crew of youngsters coming up who have had minor experience a good team is expected.

Osky 2b—Ottumwa 2 Their greenness show ing plainly against Coach Markley's champion eleven, the wearers of the Red and W hite jerseys lost a heart-hreaking game 2b to 2 in the annual Day of Gratitude. It was a sorrow ful bunch of lads w ho came trailing back defeated but not beaten and with the majority of the team back for another crack at their age-long enemies, the Osky Maroons arc promised some hectic moments in the future. Big Pete Sedore and Sam Clark were hulks of kinetic energy in the line while Santee averaged better than yards on his five kicks. Had Tom Millisack or Homer Howell been present the score might have been different but it was un- doubtedly Osky's year w ith a great team. I Cedar Rapids 18—Ottumwa b Police records have no memo of the assault and battery case of one. Ottumwa Bulldogs, defendants vs. one. Washington High. Cedar Rapids Tigers, of the prosecution. Nevertheless in the football annals of Ottumwa, it goes down as one of the most fiercely contested fights seen on Schaefer’s Field. It ended w ith a i8 to ( adverse score only after a bitter struggle. Dick Davis at the field general s post played a creditable game and Santee used his mitts for something besides stuffings for gloves. He caught the pass which placed the ball on Bunnytown’s i yard line and did as a climax a fair job of kicking. This was the largest surprise reception tendered by Mr. Bulldog all season and humbled the Kellymen to a fare ye well.” HOWELL Guard CRIGLER Tackle SANTEE End {’’airfield 6—Ottumwa o With eleven husky Bulldogs determined to stretch a much battered Orange and Black pennant in the trophy case the Gillespie-coached team failed to ac- complish their purpose by the narrowest of margins. The much stressed passing attack of the lads from I’’airfield functioned at the crucial second and Keltner fell over the line for six points and victory. Otherwise the game was on even terms. Scdorc and l orn Millisack were the high mucky-mucks in the forward wall while Celania and Denny Mulcahy were the original tractors in line-plowing. CELANIA GRAHAM TRAUL Half-back Tacki.k Half-back Burlington 31—Ottumwa 0 Giving no evidence of the fight displayed two weeks later in the season against Kelly's Tigers, the Gillespie-men were chastised to the mournful dirge of a 31 to 6 lacing. Melodious melodies, by the band and Mr. Thomas A. Baldwin were wielded without effort on the team who hit a fit of nervous prostration and failed to come out from under their canopy of despair. First team stars played hooky and did not answer present to the roll call. This is the first hard drubbing permitted by the Bulldogs this year. LATHROP O'TOOLE FRAZER Half-back Half-back quarter-back Mt. Pleasant b—Ottumwa o Displaying the proverbial old Bulldog bite which had been lacking many times in history, the Ottumwa Bulldogs ran into tough luck which enabled the Smith-men from Mt. Pleasant to cop a torrid tussle, b to o. Fred Cclania and Bcrnie O’Toole were outstanding in their respective per- formances. Celania played a nice game throughout w hile O'Toole, injected into the game at the last minute, caught two impossible tosses and ran back a punt in good fashion. Millisack and McMann were the stars in the line. Ottumwa 13—Albia o Proving as good water-spaniels as they are Bulldogs, Coach Eben Gillespie's caretakers of the pigskin slipped over the Albia warriors to the tune of 13 to o. Grimy mud. as sticky as fly-paper w hen one's hand connects with said fly- paper. covered the new field. Old lady Luck showed both of her pearly white molars in a wide mouthed grin when a fumble was converted into ( points by Millisack, inestimable Bulldog captain and tackle extraordinary. William McNett, as student manager deserves a great deal of credit for the long hours he gave to student management this year. Basketball HARRY WIN ; Coach Led on by Coach Wing, the Ottumwa Bulldogs on the basketball floor marched to the state championship Too much cannot be said of Harry Wing's leadership. His coolness in the midst of combat, his lightning brain in a tight place always kept the red and white quintette in the running. O. H. S. fans will hail w ith delight the entrance of Coach Harry b. Wing as the head of Bulldog athletics W ith but two letter men back as a neu- cleus around which to build his team. Wing was faced w ith a problem. However a raft of sharpshooters were discovered and the team improved, and until the first Muscatine game they had not been beaten I Tom there on in the Bulldogs never lost a combat I rom the Little Six title the Ottumwa lads took the sectional championship at Oskaloosa. the district championship at their home kennel and then trekked to Iowa City for the State Championship. After a great game the Bulldogs brought home a mammoth wooden plaque emblematic of the State Championship. l ive of the ten men are back for the next year s team, and great things arc expected of the Ottumwa quintet.

Ray Wright. Hank Lyman. Iowa State Champions Captain Raymond Harry—Center Six feet of racy activity coupled with a deadly eve from the foul line made Ray a much feared opponent. An uncanny accuracy for looping short shots rang up many mints for Harry. He was one of. if not the test, defensive center in the state this year, so it was on the defensive that Harry shone. This All-State man will be sorely missed next year. Pat Orman -Guard Early in the season Pat earned the reputation of the headiest, scrappiest man on the squad. His words of advice in pinches helped w in many games and his defensive playing as well as his knack of taking the ball off the bank-board made him the key-stone of the de- fense. Orman s absence will leave a large hole in the team next year. DeLoyce Reese—Forward A long rangy forward equally good at tip in and long shots w ho rated high scorer in the Little Six Con- ference this year. Illness kept Reese out of many of the tournament games but at Iowa City, playing his last for Ottumwa, he fought and teamed it up creditably, earning honorable mention in the All-State selections. Bob Erskine—Guard liob's height and weight were instrumental in placing him on the All-State team. Defensively he w as a stumbling block to more than one clever forward and a tricky dribble alternated with a fast long pass spelled power on the offensive. Erskine will be a bulwark on next year’s team. Dick Davis— Forward A remarkable eye. endless endurance, a neat drib- ble linked with an unstoppable pivot all these qualities were combined in Davis, a unanimous choice for All- State selection With his remarkable eye Davis coupled heady floorwork and a great variety of passes to rank as high scorer in the State Tournament. Dick will be back next year. Ray Wright—Forward In his one semester of eligibility Ray rolled up a nice string of points. Wright was an invaluable de- fensive man and played a cool game of heads-up basket- ball. He was a dependable shot and his floorwork was beautiful to watch. He left a gap that was hard to fill when he graduated at mid-year. Len Frazer—Guard A repetition of last year, only playing with that added ability of a veteran and probably one of the best dribblers in the Little Six League. I 'razer was a marked man in every game but he always managed to make the opposing team feel his presence. As a defense man his cool headedness coupled with ability to fight and instill spirit was a severe loss to the team when he graduated at mid-year. Hank Lyman—Guard Hank was handicapped by his size but was a power- ful offensive gua T iiose dr tJfng was a thorn in the side of his opponerus sJWTsistent eye and a variety of neat passes helped Lyman star at the State Tourna- ment. We look for Hank to do great things next year. Bill Staebler—Forward Bill was eligible for only the first semester but during his period of eligibility he made himself a name for his fight and capability for hard work. Staebler was a diminutive forward who could always be depend- ed upon to play a fast game of ready basketball. His fast dribbling, accurate eye and exceeding shiftiness made Bill a dependable substitute. Harold McMann—Guard One hundred and sixty-five pounds of stubborn aggresiveness mixed with a fast dribble and a keen long eye caused more than one opposing team to wish heart- ily that bat had been left out of the line-up. McMann, playing his first and last year of high school basketball, saw much service during the tournaments. Wrestling A change in coaches and lack of competition in this part of the country held the activities of the wrestlers to two meets. However the team made a good show - ing in the two meets attended. In the Ft. Madison Invitation meet, the Bulldog grapplers entered five men. Edmundson. 105 pounds: Erhardt, 115 pounds: Lovell. 135 pounds; Lawson, 145 pounds; and Capt. Reeve. 05 pounds. Reev e and Lawson captured first places w hile Lovell. Erhardt and Edmundson took third places. In the state meet at Iowa State College at Ames the strugglers garnered five points through Reeve s second placing and by Lawson, who by a fall chipped in one point. lop Row: Bellamy, Jack Chambers. Robert Beck, ' Babe Whalen. Bottom Row : Clem Edmi nson, Sam Erhardt, Edgar Lovell. Gerald Lawson, Captain I Iarold Reeve. Cross Country Cross Country has received very little attention in comparison to the other major sports of the school. Perhaps the student body in general knows very little about the method in running off a cross country contest. The track consists of a two mile course up hill and down. To compete with success one must be in the best of condition. This means denying one's self many things. Going up against stiff competition in the state meet at Iowa City, the Red and White harriers placed a man in the first fifteen. Harry Myers, midget runner, was the only one to place among the first fifteen although the other members of the team finished well up in the front. Those who competed in this grueling sport are I larry Myers John Stober Rudolph Edmunds Mike Carrol Floyd Ketcham Roswell Johnson Glen Olney Percy Blount Myron LaPoint Stanley VIunsell John Morrell Charles McGown Bernie Hand Ray Utect Ed Keefe Everett Huston Track Under the guidance of Coach Eben S. Gillespie the 1927 track team made a fair showing during the season. Very few veterans were eligible, which seems to be a rule lately w ith all Ottumwa teams. The Little Six meet at Burlington was the first meet and the thinclads grabbed off fifth place. The mile relay, and Kittredge in the high hurdles gained the points. Gliding along, the track team improved and garnered second place at Fairfield. During the ensuing weeks the Eldon meet, and Drake Relays were encountered and passed with a fair showing. The mile relay team made the best showing dur- ing these weeks of competition. At the Drake relays the two-mile relay team got second place. The next week part of the track team went to Ames and part to Oskaloosa. I'he mile relay took third place in their heat. In the meantime the Osky Indians took our scalps in a dual meet.

Track The four gentlemen in the above picture became so proud of the fact that they placed second in the two-mile relay last year in the Drake Relays that they saunt- ered down to the photographer's studio and procured this likeness of their manly visages and forms. All razzing aside though. Dodds, Tomlin. Huff, and Foster deserve a great deal of commendation for their accomplishment. To place second in an event in which high school teams from all over the country were entered is no small feat. Although quite a few Ottumwa relay teams were entered in the Drake Relays this two-mile combination w'as the only one to place. Ottumwa High may well be proud of the four men who turned this trick. Fverett Dodds John Tomlin Harold Huff Robert Foster Life Saving Club Patience, persistence, and power to do are only acquired by work. Feeling the need of an organization to further the interests of life saving a number of students organized this club.

The qualities of service and leadership can he developed through active participation in extra-curricular activities. However, affilia- tion with too many organizations defeats their purpose and causes one to become a mere joiner and office seeker. One motive of this system is to limit the amount of extra-class work carried by each student, so that in the extra-curricular field all can efficiently carry their assumed tasks. In order that a greater number of students receive training through the school s extra- curricular activities a governing faculty body has been appointed. It is their work to regu- late and control this system, to keep record cards, and to act as a jurv in deciding requests for extra work. This tends to distribute leading activities and posts of honor to a greater num- ber and at the same time develop leadership in those whose chance otherwise is lost to the over-zealous officers seeker. A student may participate to an aggregate of not more than nine points or in not more than four organizations with the consent of the committee on organizations.’ The points granted for participation in extra-curricular activities range in number from one to five. The Argus Annual tops the list with five points for the Editor-in-Chief and the Business Manager. The upper class presidents come in for a goodly share of points, while the lower class higher officers are ranked accord- ing to their responsibilities which are slight compared to the duties of the classes higher up. The presidencies of the various groups rank high with membership points depending upon the quality of the work of the individual club. When the duties of officers of clubs may change, the faculty committee may change the num- ber of points granted. I lonorary clubs as well as those groups working for school credit arc not affected by this system. The system has worked effectively and quietly since its inauguration and it is believed that it is one of the best systems in the country for the control of extra-curricular activities.

Z. Crozier The Student Council '['raining the student for living in a democracy can best be accomplished by having him live in an organization which most nearly represents that democracy. It was with this idea in mind that the Student Council of our High School was organized. Since its organization in iQ2i much progress has been made in in- creasing the interests of students in extra curricular activities: in sentiment for law and order, and in giving them a freer hand in the management of the school. Teaching cooperation; making the student more self-directive: giving him opportunities for developing leadership and initiative, and introducing him to democracy—these arc the main values of Student Council. The student profits by actual participation. He learns by doing. He might learn about it by hearing moralizing sermonettes. but he really profits only to the extent of his formation of definite habits of action. Listening to sermonettes does not furnish the oppor- tunities for the formation of these habits. The student as a member of a council or of an organization which elects this body has responsibilities and obligations. The educative opportunities do not all belong to the few members who compose the council. If they did. the council could not be justified. The voter must be educated. Its power in our High School arc vested in five representatives from the Senior class; five from the Junior class: three from the Sophomore class, and one from the Freshmen class. The election of the representative students has made such a position one of the highest honors a class can bestow upon its fellow classmates. Working with this group of people are representatives from the different advisory groups who frequently meet with the council and aid them in carrying out different projects. This last year the council has attempted to improve the condition of the halls during class times by using the pink slip system: they have given students who have offended, a fair trial in the council court; they have had charge of the order in the cafeteria during the lunch hour; they have encouraged high scholarship by- publishing numerical averages of honor students for each period: they have assisted in the library, each period during the day; thev have run the check room to defray their own expenditures and they have established a Lost and bound Bureau.” Throughout the entire year the aim of the council has been to promote in all ways the best interests of the school.

The play sparkled with humor and amusing situ- ations but its chief interest was in the character portrayal of true English and Amer- ican types as well as the exaggerated opinion we Americans have of our Anglo- Saxon brothers of England and their, no less impossible, barbaric picture of us. Success was assured such a play but the enthusiastic praise which it received was more than Success—it was appreciation of the worthwhile histrionic ability of the Dramatic Club of O. H. S.

His interest in speech work began w hen he entered an oratorical contest in the fall of it)20. Each succeeding contest found him training his voice, developing his stage technique, gleaning from each effort the assurance and self confidence which is the attribute of effective speaking. His sympathetic understanding together with careful enunciation and diction marked him early, in his apprenticeship, as a Master Workman. This year he was our representative in the Iowa Nine Oratorical Contest at Muscatine. November 11. w ith the selection. The Great Crucifixion. His in- terpretation was forceful—but more than that it w as motivative. In the judges’ rankings he tied for second place. He won first place in the Iowa Nine Boys’ Declamatory Contest held in Ottumwa. December q. reading his ow n cutting from Robert Louis Stevenson’s Dr. Jekyll and Mr. 1 lyde. He again upheld the Bulldog Spirit in the State Declamatory Series w ith the same selection, w inning the right to speak in three contests: the preliminarv contest at Oskaloosa. February twenty-eighth, the sub-district contest at Blakesburg. March sixteenth, and the pre-district contest at Bloomfield, March tw enty-eighth. He is best known perhaps for his clever deliniation of the Hiram Draper Sr. role in the Dramatic Club play, So This Is London. ' Hiram Draper Sr. typified the energetic American business man who loves America—America the land of promise. Chauncey played this role with a magnetic charm that seemed to make the other players revolve about him as puppets. It may be truly said of him— All the world's a stage. And all the men and women merely players: They have their exits and their entrances; And one man in his time plays many parts. BERTHA CRESSWELL DON HOLLEY GRETCHEN GROTZ Declamatory The most definite training for platform speaking given in O. H. S. is found in our Declamatory Contests. This work begins early in the year with the Iowa Nine Oratorical Contest open to both boys and girls. Following in turn is the Iowa Nine Boy’s Declamatory Contest and the Iowa Nine Girl's Declamatory Contest in which either humorous or dramatic selections may be used. The Declamatory season is closed in March with the State Series in which a contestant is entered in each of the three classes Oratorical. Dramatic and Humorous. During each year many students avail themselves of this opportunity of becoming more in- fluential citizens. In the Iowa Nine Oratorical Contest at Muscatine. November 11 Chauncey Fay tied for second place, reading The Great Crucifixion; Iowa Nine Boys’ Declamatory Contest at Ottumwa.

These are the Iowa Nine and State Debate Associations. Thus far this season, an increased amount of interest has been given by the Student Body in general, and as a result forensics have prospered. In the State Section there are two speakers on each team and on the Iowa Nine teams there are three speakers. The State question. Resolved: That a Department of Education should be established with a Secretary in the President's Cabinet. The Iowa Nine question. Resolved: That the Philippines should be granted immediate independence.

In no period during the history of former Lyceum Committees’ work have the results been so gratifying and so favorably commented upon by both the student body and the general public. A great measure of the success could be traced directly to the efforts of Mr. Glenn Osborne, who in the past year has headed the 6. H. S. Lyceum Committee. It was also largely due to his efforts that the Committee was able to present two special features in connection with the regular lyceum course. His has been the guiding personality throughout the period of time in which he has been connected with lyceum work. The Lyceum Committees have been made up of three distinct groups, all working for the same goal—a successful lyceum course. These groups include a board of directors, faculty representatives, and members of the student body selected for the purpose of securing a program that would interest all students. These groups arc selected each year and immediately upon being selected, begin to choose talent to bill for the succeeding lyceum course. The course presented in the past season has been declared by local critics to be bigger and more complete than preceding courses. It included both musicians and speakers. The talent of classical and modern artists was brought into play to make a course that would interest both old and young. Captain .John Noel, an explorer of international note was selected. He de- livered an address, w ith the aid of a stereoptican machine, concerning his latest attempt to scale Mt. Everett, the unconquered. Next in line came Arthur Kraft, of the Metropolitan Singers. Music lovers all over the city gave this number full support. Those who enjoyed this privilege of hearing Mr. Kraft were given the additional privilege of attending the concert of the Schubert Male Quartet. Every member of this group had unusual ability. The main drawing card of the season was the Dramatic Club play, “So This Is London. This event drew larger gate receipts than any other single feature on the course. I-'or the past five years the Dramatic Club play has always been aw aited and accepted with enthusiasm. I Jnder the capable leadership of Miss Ertle Mae Smith, the Dramatic Club achieved the height of their success in this play. Zellner, an impersonator of unusual ability, concluded the course. In addition to the regular course the Lyceum Committee presented Laurence Jones, electrical wizard, and an educational film. The members of the Committee in charge include Mr. Tiedc. Mr. Baldw in. Mr. Osborne. Miss Alda Mae Berghofcr. Miss Rose Miller. Miss Gertrude Smith. YVm. Hunt. Jr.. Francis Cawley. Phyllis Michael and Sam Clark. Miss Helen Patterson is Chairman of the Board of Directors, w hich includes Miss Abbey Jacobs. Miss Fern Brooks. Miss Katherine Brady. Mr. Douma. Mr. Page, and Mr. Crozicr. ic)28-ic)2q PROGRAM i .

National Honor Society of Ottumwa High School The Torch Club AFFILIATED WITH THE NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY 'F.ndurance is the crowning quality, and patience, all the passion of great hearts. To he elected to the Torch Club is the highest honor that can he bestowed upon a student of Ottumwa High School. The members of the Torch Club arc selected by a committee of five or more teachers who convene once each semester to elect students worthy of this honor. The committee uses as a basis for its judgment the four points for which the society stands: scholarship, leadership, character, and service. The purpose of this organization is to encourage and maintaina highst and- arc! of scholarship, promote leadership, develop character and at all times to render service. Any member failing to further these principles or to uphold these stand- ards may be dropped by a faculty committee at the end of any semester. There are those about school who have entered with their first semester in high school with the desire to make the most from all opportunities which come their way. To every task which is asked of them to perform, they respond gra- ciously and do the work well They do, without reward in sight; they show initia- tive. interest, enthusiasm, sincerity and progress. Without progress, enthusiasm and all the other elements would lack substance. To these people comes the most cherished and time honored reward -the olive branch—symbolized by the golden key—the key of national Honorary Society—locally named “Torch.” John LowenberG—President Don Holley—Vice President Elolsf.

Its influence has been felt and its worth recognized not only by its members but by the entire school organization. Each year has added greater glories, has seen new and higher aims attained in skillful stage technique and polished interpretation. This year the Club has set as its chief ideal, the production of nothing but worth while plays and the study of the stage artistically and technically.

The club made its first appearance in the form of a pep chapel just before the Cedar Rapids football game. At Christmas time in cooperation with the musical organizations of our schools, the Thalian Club presented the play ‘‘Why the Chimes Rang. A one act comedy entitled Washington's hirst Defeat was given in February before the D. A. R. organization.

A handbook, for students, was this year published by Hi-Y A total of 700 books was circulated through the school at ten cents per copy John Lowenberg- President Earl Woodford—Secretary Dave Jay—Vice President Homer Howell—Treasurer Henry Hammen Kenneth Davis Keith Lowe John Mahon John Logan Merle Wilson Bernard Toole Gerald Burke Harold Miller Harold McMann Rudolph Edmund Dick Haw Don Holley Charles Graham Clinton Edmundson Donald Kirkpatrick [ rank Arnold Charles Elliott Ray Wright Pat Orman Cline Greer Leonard Frazer John Morrell Francis Cawley l orn Riddle Laurel Workman Dee Reese Buff F ulton Harold Huff Bud McNett “To create, maintain, and extend throughout the High School and community, high standards of Christian living. The Junior Hi-Y club of the Ottumwa High School is in reality an organiza- tion of the Young Men's Christian Association, but it’s services are rendered chiefly at school So it has become known as a high school club. It is a junior group of Hi-Y meeting every Thursday noon, with Senior Hi-Y. This group is enthusiasm personified. Last year at High School Night they helped give the program by presenting Midnight in a J oy Shop. This year the boys gave the pep chapel for the announcement of High School Night.

It is a part of the international organization of the Girl Reserves of the V. W. C. A. Meetings are held in the Girl Reserve Room and are a combination of fun, friendship, service for others, and an inspiration for develop- ment physically, mentally, and spiritually. It is sponsored by Agnes Arganbright. Girls' Work Secretary of the Y. W. C. A., and Elizabeth Davis of the faculty. So few people realize the importance of Hi-Tri in the lives of our high school girls serving as Y. W. C. A. does, it touches every type of girl, helping not only religiously, but in every walk of life. I ii-Tri throws open its doors to all who will enter, perhaps even inviting those who may be timid. Through the induction ceremony, the lighted candles form a ring of friendship, love and light about the girls, binding them one and all into a group—a group whose strength is such that it may accomplish any task which may affront the group. During the recent church drive Hi-Tri did a great share. Hi-Tri girls fill our halls when additional work comes to those about school, lending a helping hand to helpless freshmen, confused sophomores or extending a welcome hand to new faculty. The information desk in the hall always means kindness to someone. The club really finances itself and though not purely a school organization is truly an essential one. The Normal Training Club The one exclusive sign of a thorough knowledge is the power of teaching In order to create interest in rural education, to fit Normal Training students to become successful teachers, and to promote a social spirit in the high school among Normal Training students, the 1Q27-28 program of the Normal Training Club has been a varied and attractive one. Outstanding events in their program were the Mother and Daughter party, the Initiation Ceremonial and the Junior-Senior banquet. Educational talks were given by the County Superintendent of Schools, instructors from local Schools, and professors from the Iowa State 'Teachers’ College.

This year the Club put on a chapel program in the form of a mock trial, using well-known comic-strip characterizations. Although some thought that justice was mis-carried. the aim of hilarious entertainment was well attained. The Club sponsored a Forensic Club Debate tournament, participated in by the clubs of the school. This is an innovation in Ottumwa forensic activities, and has show n that there is a lot of forensic talent and enthusiasm in the student body, which needs only to be encouraged.

The Art Club is one of the youngest organizations of the high school and has proven itself worthy of a place in the school’s extra-curricular activities with its novel and varied activities. It has sponsored some of the cleverest chapels the school has had this year. It has sponsored all the school's poster contests and similar contests of artistic nature. A special project begun this year has been the assisting w ith stage productions; in designing the decorative features of the stage sets: the designing of drops, and even the artistic arrangement of lights for certain naive effects. The Costume party of the club was rather an innovation a-la Art Institute. Everybody from Wamba to Beau Brummell was there. The Art of costume was an interesting project of the party It was here also that members got something of the art treatment of social affairs. I he height of the club's activities really culminated in the exhibit of pictures m the art department. Prints, excellent in their own value, of the great masters of the canvass, modern and old. were displayed and visited by more than a thous- and persons. A small admission fee was charged. The funds were used to pur- chase pictures for the school. The community at large showed splendid interest in the exhibit. In connection with the showing of the pictures was an interesting chape! and evening performance of living pictures —some so real that they were heartily commended by those who saw them.

Spanish publications, correspondence from Spanish students, and talks by people who have recently visited Spanish speaking countries have added to those attributes which make a club worth while. To inspire interest in a class room subject is a modest justification for the organization of any club; but to have as projects the actual study of a language: to make it fascinating and alive; and to endear it to the hearts of students of the language—that is real endeavor.

Class of 1928 W e iv i s h yo u Continued Success ‘31PCNOASU IOO� WU The Dramatic Club The Dramatic Club was founded for no good reason at all. No one has been able to find the exact date of the beginning of this time-honored in- stitution The members of this well- noted organization are famed for their- ability to fit in any time or place be it a weincr roast or as a fourth at bridge. The persons making up this club are those that have their only chance for dating on club nights: and there- fore belong to this society because it has more meetings than any other organization in this budding metropo- lis. The club recent ly sponsored a farce entitled So This Is Ottumwa - which was unanimously accepted by the tittering populace. Two or three nights later they held a banquet for the cast. Were still wondering if John Lowenberg's mother succeeded in finding out where Martha Gordon lived. What about it John? Their outstanding characteristic is unlimited optimism- they find the best in everything even if they go treasure hunting to find it. The Art Gli b This refuge was begun for people w ho w ere unable to obtain membership in an other organization The past year has seen an increase in mem- bership and activity and it is believed that the cause of this is the intense attraction to the maidenly charms of the president. This organization sponsored an ex- hibit w hich was a wow The chapel before the exhibition was well attend- ed and it is a compliment of the nicest kind to the club to say that the audi- ence stayed until the end of the per- formance. Hi-Y This club was organized for the express purpose of bringing together all the boys with good manners. The roll includes Homer, who can tell you the when and how of any- thing you want to know, which knowledge has been gleaned from his constant association with the wim- mcn: Dick, who engages in vocal gymnastics: and Earl, originator of the famous limp: and Dave . Anyone wishing to hear the latest scandal, call the president and he will •be glad to supply you with the desired information With the aid of his co-workers he is able to obtain infor- mation faster than anv other known person. Forensic Club T his was founded as a joke because some good person thought that if the student body had one really good laugh that the atmosphere around O. H. S. would be 750 more agreeable. T he main assets of the organization arc the Seniors. Chauncey's vocabu- lary. Jack's humor. Bill's mannerisms and Grctchen's speech ability. They arc quite astonishing the student body with their rapidly-acquired knowl- edge -thev are really learning some- thing. The members arc easily recognized by their loud speakers which are going full blast at all times. Little Isadore Shapiro rushed into the grocery store Banging a dime down on the counter he panted— Gimme for ten cents animal crack- ers—take out the pigs.

For a full half century, she taught in one school in New York City. To her perseverance, patience, kindliness and honor, and to her keen sense of duty, thousands of her pupils who have grown into matured life, owe to her a debt of gratitude which they will never be able to pay. Serving others, whether it may be in the school room, in the great professions or behind the store counter, and doing it just a little better day by day, is always worthy the best that is in us.

Who Was Shot and Who Was Not A duel was lately fought by Alex- ander Shott and John S. Nott. Nott was shot and Shott was not. In this case it was better to be Shott than Nott. There was a rumor that Nott was not shot, but Shott avows that he was not. which proves either that the shot Shott shot at Nott was not shot, or that Nott was shot notwith- standing. It may be made to appear on trial that the shot Shott shot shot Nott. or. as accidents with firearms arc fre- quent. it may be possible that the whole affair would resolve itself into original element, and Shott would be shot and Nott would be not. Some folks think, however, that the shot Shott shot, shot Shott and not Nott. Can you tell who was shot ? This is the bunk. said the sailor as he crawled into his hammock. Oh. gushed Mrs. Van Blah.

Paul P. Harris, an at- torney. the originator of the idea, and three associates. In twenty-two years the movement has expanded until today there are more than twenty-seven hundred Rotary- Clubs located in thirty-six nations of the world. In addition, the appeal of the movement has been such as to inspire the organization of the various strong companion clubs which are accomplishing the same ideals. The aspiration of Rotary is to bring to all humanity, more fully the blessings of friendship and service. There is no other movement in history in which so many influential men have united in so short a time to promote friendship and service throughout the world. As a part of its program of service to this community the Rotary Club is interested in its young manhood and womanhood and in the upbuilding of it’s public school system.
