CONTENTS vs Jfvc School n Athletics in i.l J V I FAMILIAR LACES 'Ottumwa, our city beautiful, has been chosen I 'or the theme of this book for the background; 35! —v- Board of Education Notice having been given ac- cording to law. a regular meeting of the electors of the Ottumwa City School District was held in the Court House September Oth. 1858. This is the first secretary's record of the Board of Education. At the same meeting it was de- cided that if a school was to be main- tained any length of time, it would be necessary to levy a tax to pay the larger part of expenses. The secre- tary stated that from $1800 to $2000 was needed, and that there would be paid into the District Treasury $ ooor $400 as a portion already allotted. The balance would have to be raised by a tax. The following year. 1850 on March 14 the first organized school board was elected: President. Thos. C. Woodward: Vice President. S. B. Thrall; Secretary. S. D. Moore: Treas- urer. John Moore: Directors. Joseph Haync, Jas. H. Merrill. E. J. Hunter. On March 11. 1861 a motion was made to tax district property five mills to “build a school house. By 18O7 (he annual expense of the school had increased to $4,228.75. In 187(3 the high school was organized as a separate unit. Since then there have been twenty principals. The largest growth in the school has taken place in the last ten years under principals: . B. Rice. J. H Brenneman. Roy F. Hannum and I- rank Douma. The Ottumwa School system is entirely in charge of the Board of Education. It has authority to man- age all finances of the district: to elect teachers: provide supplies: purchase sites and build schools; and make any rules and regulations it deems neces- sary. Because school management is highly professional, the superintend- ent usually attends to it under the authority of the Board. The present Board includes Lester Jay. President: Ernest Manns: Frank (' Rancv: Mrs. E. G. Barton; C. D. Evans; Mrs. D. E. Graham: C. C Lowenherg; Walter K. McLain, Secre- tary: K G. Mowcry. Treasurer. Mesdames Graham and Barton and Messrs. Raney. Jay and Evans arc the committee in charge of the High School. Our school board has spent many extra hours working for our school. Schaefer Field and the High School it- self. with its unusual equipment, arc lasting evidence of their efforts. . C. IX Evans W. McLain Lester Jay C. C. Lowenbbrg Mrs. K. G. Barton E. Manns Mrs. D.

Raney Tucntv Faculty Administration and perform some act of kindness for us, if only a suggestion for a trouble- some schedule; finding a home where we Seniors from the country could find happiness and content all through our four years, or perhaps the smooth- ing out of some serious misunder- standing for us. Miss Hightshoe has attained both a Bachelor of Arts degree and a Mast- er's degree. The theme of our Argus embodies three supreme ideas—the school, the home, and the city. Mr. Hannum, as Superintendent of our Public Schools is instrumental essentially in bringing into closer relationship with one another these three units, merging them into one noble purpose—Ot- I tumwa! His supervision of the school system touches in a very real sense the life of our community. I lis policy and that of his board of directors dictates largely the ideals, purposes, and business integrity of future Ot- tumwa. Mr. Hannum received his Bache- lor of Arts degree from the University of Iowa, and was also a student at Columbia Uni versit v. N. Y. I.rw.i.A lIiciirsiiOR R. P. Hannum F. W. Douma Ass't Principal Superintendent Principal. “ Our I ligh School, the best in the land That motto was given to the students by an assembly speaker about eight years ago. Since that time we have been getting nearer and nearer that goal. Today our school compares very favorably with any high school in the country. W e have an excellent faculty, an enthusiastic student body and one of the best sch x l plants found anywhere. It is up to each one to do his or her part to get the most out of this wonderful opportunity. I f fifteen hundred people are unitedly striving to make our school the best there is, it surely will be.” These words of Prank V. Douma embody the ideal which our High School is striving to attain Yet one person, dominant above all. is directly responsible for the attainment of this ideal Mr. Douma! Iwo years of honest effort and efficient systems in- stituted by Mr. Douma have lead us nearer and nearer to that goal l ie attended I lope College, Michi- gan l ni versit y. Chicago University, and Iowa I. niversity. and has re- ceived his Bachelor of Arts degree. Miss Hightshoe a friend willing to stop in her most busy moments Tuvnty-onc Engineers 'The duties of the janitor force in general are keeping the building anti all it equipment clean and in repair. To keep it clean there are some things that must be done twice daily such as sweeping the corridors. Most of the work is done once each day and some things are done regular- ly once each week. “The daily duties include sweep- ing anti dusting the office all the fifty- two classrooms, the cafeteria and the gym, cleaning ail the eighty-three lav- atories and twenty-four drinking fountains. The hoys’ and girls' lock- er rooms and shower rooms are clean- ed. scrubbed and disinfected every day. The swimming pool is cleaned and heated and all machinery and the forty-two electric motors are cleaned and inspected each day. One duty that requires considerable t irne- is the carrying of all paper and sweep- ings that have been collected the pre- ceding night to the boiler room to lie burned. There is a janitor on each floor for about twenty minutes before Aim Hamilton Flossir Johnson Prko Jamks Rkki Pkki IIa ki.ton school starts every day who is kept busy unlocking lockers. The differ- ent duties that are performed weekly arc done by doing a few each day. These include scrubbing all the eigh- teen lavatory rooms, sweeping and dusting the auditorium, dusting all the chairs and tables in the cafeteria, washing the wa lls in the corridors and washing the filters of the pool. Together w ith the regular duties that must be done daily or weekly there are always some of the following things to be done Replacing broken door and window panes, replacing burned out light bulbs, repairing machinery, door locks, door checks, lockers, telephones, bells, clocks, brok- en chairs and seats and cleaning erasers and chalk troughs. Keening the outside steps and walks free from ice and snow as much as possible has been quite a task the past winter In the fall and spring considerable time is spent on the shrubbery, lawn and trees surrounding the building.

We ll recall the rush for our place in line, the joy of the day after the hig feed when they served left-over chicken and mayhe we ll see again our favorite cherry pie waiting to tempt us—recall its lusciousness neath a generous top- ping of ice cream. Then mayhap we ll recall life's most embarrassing moment w hen we handed our quarter to the Cashier, and she smiled and said Twenty-six cents, please! There’s something about the Cafe- teria. its gleaming white tables, its busy clatter, the rush of hungry stu- dents, the old familiar ring of the cash register and the busy, excited din of it. all that haunts the memory. Mrs. Thompson, kind and pa- tient served us each day. Many times she added an ext ra helping to the plate of some hungry hov. We couldn't forget Mrs. Parker either, for the delicious fragrance of her juicy pics, l orn Buck, too. is as much a part of the Cafeteria as the Zelu Buck Dorrtta Buck Mary Laura Anderson IIazki. Beck ice cream he dipped each day. I'or four years he rendered his indispensi- blc service to the Cafeteria, dipping over a ton of ice cream during his career' Hazel Beck also claims four vears of serv ice to the Cafeteria. She rose from the stooping position of washing glasses to the heights of the stool in front of the cash register. Zella Beck and Doretta Buck arc Junior Members of the Arm of Glass and Dish Washers, incorporated. They have Ixren in the Cafeteria a year. Mrs. Anderson was employed temporarily during the w inter months and has proved herself a great help in serving the surplus crowds on stormy days. Mary Wiegner. chosen by the Student Council, has aided greatly in attaining a degree of order and fairness in the Cafeteria. The little joys or sorrows of the noon hour and of our Cafeteria arc- now but memories for as we seniors go out there w ill be other lunch hours, other faces, and other pies.

A Tribute to Teachers Our educat ional system has called its teachers from the body of the peo- ple. and has commissioned them to teach the ideals of the mass as well as the know ledge of the more fav ored few. It is. therefore, in itself truly demo- cratic. This teaching of ideals is by its nature spontaneous and unstudied. The public school teacher cannot live apart; he cannot separate his teaching from his daily walk and conversation. He lives among his pu- pils during school hours, and among them and their parents all the time. He is peculiarly a public character under the most searching scru- tiny of watchful and critical eyes. His life is an open book. His habits arc known to all. I lis office, like that of a minister of religion, demands of him an exception- al standard of conduct. And how rarely does a teacher fall below that standard' I low seldom docs a teach- er figure in a sensational headline in a newspaper! It is truly remarkable. I think, that so vast an army of people approximately 800.000—so uniform- ly meets its obligations, so effectively does its job. so decently behaves itself as to be almost utterly incon- spicuous in a sensation- loving country. It im- plies a wealth of char- acter. of fact, of patience, of quiet competence, to achieve such a record as that. —Herbert Hoover Twenty-four For the memories that it will conjure For the friendships it will recall: Course of Study English Department Freshman and Sophomore English.

Bird thou never wert. That from heaven, or near it Pourest thy full heart In profuse strains of unpremeditated art. These lines taken from Miss Schick's favorite poem. Shelley's To a Skylark' arc expressive of the melody in her own nature. For four years Miss Schick has been our class adviser and one of our dearest friends. We would that we could only express here our deep gratitude for her effort in making these brief four years of the class of twenty- nine the happiest four years of our life. There are memories of class meet- ings that arc sweeter for her effort and presence. There was a dignity about her which instantly commanded our respect, yet withal her nature was so filled with cheerfulness and good will that we felt a deep gladness in her nearness. The innumberable hours spent in planning, decorating, and executing our Junior-Senior Prom, the party supreme, can scarce be realized or appreciated bv those other than the ones who made this Prom the happiest and dearest memory of their junior year. I ler sincerity and in- terest in each one of us individually has made her more than a class ad- viser—she has become a friend, one whose memory w e shall cherish “o n through the years. This same sincerity and gcxxl will is empha- sized in her message to her class, of 2C). May What thou art we know not; hat is most like thee? Prom rainbow clouds there flow not Drops so bright to see. As from thy presence showers a ram of melody. late you upon this your happy commencement time—a joy- ful culmination of four years, linked with friendships rare; with memories and associa- tions you can never forget. In these four years you have given most loyal sup- port to all class and school affairs. Your scholastic rec- ord has been excellent. In the various organizations you have been ably represented and through your achieve- ment in dramatics, forensics, athletics, and literary pursuits you have brought much honor to the school. I cherish very happy memories of our gcxxl times together and I deem it a great honor to have been the sponsor of such a splendid class. As Seniors, you are already- planning the future with its dreams of success. This may be yours if you decide on the thing you want most from life. Be sure it is worthy of your best; then sec it. feel it. believe in it. Begin now to build for it. and success will be yours. As the years pass and your names arc added to the list of successful men and wom- en. Ottumwa High Schcx l may be justly proud of you. the Seniors of Nine- teen Hundred and I wen- ty-Nine. Marik Schick, Class Sponsor. So thee, blithe spir- it we honor and thank for your kind services through four happy years. —The Class of '29 Class Adviser of 1929 v Memories of Twenty mine commencement sow. OF THE SENIOR CLASS 1929 I unc— The Old Refrain Fritz Kkeislkr I Well often think of school And Twenty-S ine. When u e are alt alone. I'ar on through time W e ll sing an old refrain Of Twenty-S ine Tor it recalls to us our High School days. It takes us hack again To classes fair W here friendships grew And ripened everywhere. Our school day joys Will ne'er come hack again lixeept infancy. W hen the years are gone And in our hearts our song Will ever ring. And to those memories We ll always cling. W e re never sad and lone W hile on thiough lime. As long as we can sing. O Twenty-Sine' Words— Rosalie Ackley II. Though years have passed And gone; O Twenty-Sine, And though our hearts are Young we re sad today. Yet still the echoes ring: 0 Twenty- Sine. And dear old memories Tor ever stay. Our song can bring us isions full of light. And sweetest dreams Throughout the darkest night Of all that life can give. That song is best, W e ll take it with us W hen we go to rest. And now at last our C lasses here are o’er. T will ring more sad nd lonely than before. Tor as we leave we ll take Our song sublime. 1 or always we shall sing.

Mes in Action The Major Sports Ottumwa, as a mem- ber of the Little Six Con- ference. plays its major jousts with I-airfield. Burl- ington. Washington. Mus- catine. and Mt. Pleasant. Our school is well equipped with a ten-thousand dollar football field named for Walter Shaeffer, local foot- ball star. Chicago U. star, all American athlete, and a hero of the World War. Though football has not been as popular as the hard- floor game the following has not been small. I he team this year played nine games, won three, lost four, and tied two. Harry E. Wing. Head Coach Basketball is without question the popular sport of O. H. S. w ith an expert coach, one who played the game as a star himself, hav- ing displayed his own tech- nique in a marvelous team of two years. Last year they copped the state title and this year it took a championship team to edge them out in an overtime period. The athletic division also boasts baseball, track, swimming, wrestling, and tumbling, and regular full day gym- nasium schedules. A State Tournament Game I (XVI BALI.

The “O Club membership is comprised of those athletes who have won letters in the major sports. They serve as ushers at games; and help with the management of athletics. It is one of the most desired member- ships which boys may seek. The re- quirements arc high and as a result the membership is small, creating this great desire for attainment in sports. H. L. Trites, physical education director, is the sponsor of the club.

Traul Edmonson S«vnl - our Physical Education H. L. Trites, head of the physical educational department, was born in Moneton. New Brunswick. Canada. October 13, iSqq. He came to the United States in iqio and was naturalized in it)2i by a special war act. H e graduated from Melrose High School. Melrose. Mas- sachusetts He joined the Cana- dian forces of the World War in 1017. Due to his youth he could not serve. In ip 18 he joined the Amer- , ican forces; did not get to 4' go to France, but served v the army in New Port. Virginia. Between t h e service in the two armies he attended Springfield College in Massachusetts and studied Physical Education for one semester. In iqiq he went to sea for two and a half years traveling in nine European countries. Panama Canal and the Hawaiian Islands. He returned to the United States and worked for the Plimpton Press, largest hook binding press in the world. In 1Q22 he went to Des Moines and taught Physical Educa- tion there for five years. He received his degree in Physical Education in 1Q27. Last year he was the Physical Director at the Y. M. C. A. at Newton. Iowa. Ottumwa feels fortu- nate in obtaining the ser- vices of Mr. Trites who al- ready has built up a credit- able gymnasium schedule. I le assists Coach Wing in the football season; has charge of tumbling, which he organized, and helps with the athletic depart- ment in general. William McNett. a senior, active in scholastic endeavors as well as or- ganizations. a member of Torch Club, and a man popular in general w ith the student body because of his genuine interest in athletics this year was ap- pointed Student Manager of athletics by the Athletic Department and as- sisted Dick Evans, a mem- ber of the Student Council. This position created re- cently in Ottumwa by ne- cessity of not only contact with the student body, but by the actual growth of er- athletics has been one of real services and real work. Bud has attended every _____ game, getting medical ser- jt f vice or t ie members of the fj teams, gathering together the necessary athletic para- 1 ,Mir phenalia in preparation for trips, helping manage rail- roab accomodations and he has generally managed the care of the armor of the Red and White warriors. It has not only been necessary that Bud attend the regular games but that he be present, and working at every practice. He was able to get hold of a Baby Lincoln in which he drayed the equipment for the various athletic endeavors to and from school. Bud, graduating in June, causes the High School Athletic Department to lose a valuable man. As the annual goes to press, it is just learned that Coach Harry Wing, newly elected Head Coach has resigned to accept a po- sition in a personell de- partment of a large firm in Cleveland. Ohio. We regret more deeply than printed words can say the loss of a popular Coach. However, we are glad that no other school gains from our loss. We do, also, congratulate Coach Wing and take this opportunity to ex- tend our sincere greetings and best k w'ishes for a successful future. . Business Management E. W. Tiede. loyal friend and ardent worker in every interest of Ot- tumwa High and Business Manager of the High School Athletics De- partment is gifted with that rare gift—personality -combined w i t h gtxxl judgment—which go to make up a good business manager in any walk of life, and especially one which deals with student athletics When on the trips, the fellows always depend- ed on him to bring them through all kinds of weath- er and trouble and to be on time for all the games and he never failed them. For example, during the Cedar Rapids trip, when the bus stalled, as a token of the fellows' loyalty to him. some of them walked several miles after gasoline, which you who have had the same experience, know is no small task substituted those who could next best help inject the necessary pep. To him every patron of Ottumwa High School attributes the greatest success of athletics—finances! The High School build- ing w hose magnificance has Income dimmed only by the close contact in the last six years should here he giv- en a place worthy of mcn- tion. With a gymnasium, w hose capacity is near iqoo spectators, and equipment lighting, floors and ventila- tion equal to anv high school in the United States and superior to any in the state. Ot- tumwa should henceforth lead schools of all sizes in intra-mural sports, at least. With a floor space accomodat- ing two playing teams, or a multitude of gym classes in demonstration, and an uncramped beauty, the Ottumwa High School gymnasium has played its part in the remarkable development of championship athletes It also fell to his lot to pav the hotel bill and balance the lxx ks and to keep the team out of mischief while on trips, which he sometimes almost failed to do. Associated with the schtx;l for more years than any senior can recall, yet voting and enthusiastic with life. Mr. Tiede. favorite of the entire student body has conducted and been responsible for a most interesting list of pep chapels, wherein the students almost weekly have wondered at his repertory of jokes, rarely failing him- self to appear to inspire the team and student Ixxly—and if so doing, he I his year a new athletic program has been adopted by the Board of Education. No steps have been left unturned to make our sch(x l rank high in its athletic department. New equipment has been purchased in both gymnasiums and in all the locker r x ms. A full force of instructors working full day schedule keep the building alive w ith all forms of physi- cal education. The student body and faculty also work cooperatively and uniformily in this one endeavor, w heth- er it be in lxx sting athletic events or in observing the strict attendance rules for advisees and all pupils. Football Scjuad On Schaeffer field early in Septem- ber about sixty-five aspiring athletes clamored for position on the I ligh School eleven. The squad was cut to fourty-four and then divided into two groups termed A and IV These two groups practiced almost intact for the entire season. Next year there should be a creditable showing from the class 13 squad. The football group reads from left to right, top to bottom: George Krafka Charles Anderson Dick Ingcrsoll Edward Johnson Frances Kelter Bruce Taylor Billy Meier Glen Ferguson Art Johnson Jim Deitch Ralph Knox James Higgins Coach Harry Wing Ed Keefe McClellan Sheridan Duane l ullmer Charles Hand Floyd DeHart Woodrow Wilson Ted Lewis Floyd Orman Lawrence Nelson Dick Evans (Student Mgr.) William McNctt (Student Mgr.) Harold McMann (Ass t Coach) 11. L. Trites (Ass t Coach). Dick Davis Henry Lyman Charles Graham Clifford Lathrop John I lark ins Sam Clark. Captain Harold Miller Robert Warren Edward Fulton Wayne Crigler Joe Traul E. W. Tiede. Business Mgr. SfWflCrMWn Sam Clark, Captain. Sam engineered the heavy O. H. S. eleven through the mediocre season of nine games. Playing full games in nearly every skirmish he heaped laurels to his record in Letter Clui� work. Do- ing his best work in defending the red and white goal, and in passing above the muddy fields lie helped consistently to maintain a batting average of victor- ies for his school. VinchNt Kennedy Right Guard. Gleaned from the masses of the student body, short and stocky, but fast on his feet, Kennedy developed into one of our best guard’s of recent years. He was a hard man to take out on offense, and he could always do his share in piling up the defensive attack. Most of those who played against him respected him mightily afterwards. His record as a real sportsman has been kept clean. YVayxe Ckiolek Right Tackle. A blonde Teuton—a scrapper who was never licked, played all year con- sistently and loyally. Especially faith- ful to practice he was one of the Coach’s least worries. He gave all his available time to his job and before the season closed had become a tackle the enemy had reason to fear. Charles Graham Right Tackle. The Gene Tunny of the bull dog team. Chuck played a straight line- man’s game always in the midst of battle his team mates could hear his shouts of encouragement above the battle’s din. Although an athlete of some ability, he ranks more as a ver- satile member of organizations, and deserves the title of an all-round man. Boil Erskixk Left Guard. High point man in letters. Erskinc, termed Man Mountain” by local sports writers, provided the stone in Ottumwa’s defense wall with the lighter’s bull «log spirit. Erskine plugged lines and guarded his opponents with sheer force. Not gaining sport page head lines he was a lineman to be reck- oned and a dependable man for the coming year. John Harkins—Center. Always an accurate passer, lie developed into a good defensive man before the season closed. No matter how far we were behind, he could al- ways be depended on to play the best for his team. In the Cedar Rapids game he blocked a kick, a hard feat f«� r a center, ami helped Kennedy tie the otherwise lost game. Henry Lyman—Right End. Hank, (by choice), was a dependa- ble fast and heady player. Outside � f Captain Clark, who sicere«l the g«� o«l ship football. Hank probably knew more football than is generally found in the Middle West high school player. When dissensions hit the team, Lyman was hastily shifted fn m end to quar- terback. There lie continued to play his usual steady game and help- ed balance the team in the time of need. Beloved by schoolmates and envied by associated athletes, yet ap- preciated and respected. Hank leaves by the eight semester rule, the rank and file of high school athletes. Stitnty-eight Jok Trai l Half Back. One of our best line plungers this year—Joe. He could always be de- pended upon to gain three or four yards when it was most needed. A hard fast back through the line meant he would spread havoc after the hole was made. Although Joe was subject somewhat to injuries through the season, he would never quit and it was sometimes doubt- ful in the Coach’s mind whether he was really able to play or not. Howard Fui.ton—Half Back. Another scholastic man. Hub, play- ed the game as he stacked his cards in the class room. A track man of some note his speed aided him material- ly in gaining ground by outrunning the opposing tackier. A good defensive man. he was especially good on defense, being speedy enough to knock the ball from the opponent’s hand. In the Fairfield game he almost single handed had to break up the passing attack at which piece of clever work he showed real adeptness. Gi.fn Ferguson — Tackle. Although a freshman by years his superior height and weight earned him a berth on the regular team. Al- though a sapling in the beginning, he bent well and grew into a firm plant for the bull dogs. His three years ahead of him with his dependability and obedience should give Ottumwa fans good prospects for the future. Harold Miller—End. Of quiet unassuming personality, Harold was respected by all the team, as the most popular of the squad. Hit’s of newspaper gave credit to dashes of brilliant playing in the fall games. He was remarkably fast—being a member of the track squad. Opposing ball toters found him hard to escape. A sure tackier, the team never worried about Harold's side of the line. Roland Fletcher--Full Back. Better known to his team mates as Waddy,” this plucky player cinch- ed the lime light more than Ottumwa’s score showed. His educated toe spell- ed victory in the Washington game. Although the week before he had suffer- ed injuries in an automobile accident, he was called from the sidelines to save the game. This injury forced him to lose much of the playing season, but toward the end he became one of our valued line plungers who will return another year to fulfill great expecta- tions from fans. Rohkrt Warren Full Back. Bob—noted to his team mates as The Farmer” -though only a Sopho- more he played full back for the Ot- tumwa team most of the year. Al- ways steady and dependable, and of good football size, he was a glutton for practice, even working after the others had left to improve his kicking which aided Ottumwa materially in a good many of her games. The Cedar Rapids game he out punted the opposing punter and probably gave us the tie bv his extraordinary work because the field was wet and muddv which made going hard. John Logan Half Back. A Senior, playing his last year f« r (). H. S. Johnnie developed into a reliable back.” He could always be depended upon in an hour of need, which after all, is only the qualification of a real football player. He was a brilliant open field runner and a fine defensive man. He backed up the line in a magnificent style and many an opposing ball carrier has felt the force of his tackles. Snwiy-ninf Basketball Captain 1 Ienry Lyman. —Guard One of the classiest guards Ot- tumwa Ians have seen for years. I lank played a game consistent, flashy, and dependable. A fast dribbler: an ac- curate passer: a real team-mate: a successful leader and a level headed guard. A visiting referee in the sectional tournament saw I Ienrv take the ball away from an opposing for- ward just before the opponent's hands closed on the ball, and said it was the fastest play he had ev er seen from any high school player. A favorite among students, town fans and state athletic men, Ottumwa regrets that Hank has played his cithth semester. Dick Davis—Forward. With a record surpassed by few. if any. Dick, in the tournament which brought the state championship to Ottumwa High School shot enough baskets to alone cancel the score of the final opponents. He was unan- imously selected as all state for- ward Although he had only one semester to play this year he helped his team retain unmarred leadership in the Little Six Conference. Al- though he only played one semester, at the end of the second semester he still led the scoring in the Little Six. Bob Lrskink Center. “Man Mountain, a term dubbed him by local sports writers has in it- self the characteristics of this mighty player. I fc was chosen as all state guard both last year and this by the majority of sports writers throughout the state. Although shifted from guard position to center, he filled this position even better than he had the other I le aided the team materially in their close games where he could always lx depended on to charge through the opposing team for one or two baskets. Although not such a good shot in the beginning Bob de- veloped into a hard man to block and during the tournaments was high point man in almost every game. Dan Shea—Guard. Popular with both student and town fans Dan played his first real basketball for Ottumwa this year. A hard fighter, he could take the hard knocks without flinching, which after all is one of the main characteristics which go to make up a real guard. He was a good shot. Few opposing forwards and centers were able to take the ball away from him under our basket. He worked smoothly and always seemed to fit in with the rest of the team and to be where he was needed at the right time. Basketball I -A whence I 'indlay—Forward. He came in at Christmas to fill the shoes of Dick Davis, and you may- be assured Hop had na easy task. Although Pit such a goocAeve for the basket nW loor work and ynarvelous teabi pli lmost mauelyp foj- the loss of roajLns.

Sam Clark—Guard. Sam started out this year as a reserve center. However, through careful practice and training, before the season was over he was state tournament material, and had broken into a regular place at guard. Sam was a good shot and a careful man on defense. He w as never pulled out by the opposing forces for easy shots at the basket. His leadership, even though he was not captain helped to steady the team in tight games, which might have been lost, or at any rate harder, had it not been for his quiet encouragement and influence. Burdette Greenman Center. Playing his last year for Ottumwa High he was unfortunate in having an all state man to compete against. However, w henever he entered a game Ottumwa could always be assured to control the tip-off. He practiced faithfully and it was mainly through him that Erskine developed into as capable a center as he did. for the leading sports wTiters say no man can develop unless he has someone hard to practice against. An all-round man in school activities one rarely finds a man so sincere in his athletic endeav - ors when so many other things could have occupied his time. We shall miss Bud next year. Billy Meier—Forward. Although only a sophomore. Billy, playing his first complete year for Ottumwa, was a flashy, consistent forward, a combination hard to find. He could always be depended upon for three or four baskets in a garrtc. Although small he did not letnis size handicap him. but used it to an ad- vantage in slipping prtder the oppos- ing hands for sjportfsnots at the basket which he ryirdy missed. He was a hardh player which often caused him toVotd but he w as considered one of ouAbest men on the front line of our defense. EijsJity-onf Basketball Squad Harry Wing, monitor of one of the State's best fives, and head coach of athletics at Ottumwa High, came to this Athletic Department unexperienced save in col- lege glory gained through competition on a team on which he starred. Build- ing up a team which sports writers evade in their lime lighting columns, and whom when seen at the state joust, declared a dark horse team, returned to that same state tournament to lose only to a State Championship team —another dark horse, a feat unparallelled in the last fifteen years; and that of taking two consecutive teams to a State Tournament after having won the right through the dis- trict and sectional meets. In two years this coach and this group of boys to whom all honor is due. have won the enviable record of forty-three games won and two lost in two long basketball seasons. Ot- q tumwa fans, loyal often as iqoo people in a i goo capacity gymnasi- um could be. have helped put the Red and White colors on the map. Not only Coach Wing but all the men on the facul- ty helped to make a remark- able basketball season of two years—the advertising, pep chapels, managing and planning, working with the temporary bleachers and all that has pertained to ac- comodating the large crowds have been in the hands of the men of the faculty. To make an already inter- esting season moreso. they even staged a mighty clever two game basketball season with Oskaloosa Though they finished second. Ottumwa fans were behind them.

L. Trites, head of this department is a relatively new intra-mural sport, as most of the fellows found who tried it. However, a good many aspirants tried out and the tumbling class which meets after school hours has increased in favor and popularity. There are a number of things to be considered in tumbling. It may seem very simple to the casual onlooker to see a youth vault back- wards over a wooden horse but in reality it is a very difficult thing to do and takes several weeks of practice and preparation. liven then there are few who ever master it completely. The tumblers have performed several times in chapel and between halves at basketball games and on the night of the famous faculty game, they gave the most complete demonstration. They have been well received by both the student body and spectators at large. It requires no little effort to build a pyramid or to walk on one's hands, or even walk across the fl x r with some other fellow using one for a wheelbarrow It is only through earnest endeavor that one becomes proficient in this branch of recreation. Those participating in tumbling larity, wrestling has nearly away in to past annals. Last year we entered the wrest- ling meet at Ames on February 18, with the following entries: I larold Reeves. 05 pounds; Clem Edmonson. 105 pounds: Sam Er- hardt. 115 pounds; Edgar Lovell. 1)5 pounds; Gerald Lawson. 145 pounds. Keen competition placed Reeves and Lawson in the semi-finals. This w as one of our meets w hich Ottumwa entered last year. Wrestling does not seem so very important to most people although in reality it is quite a difficult sport. It takes a fast, strong, agile man to overcome an opponent in this sport. There are long hours of ardent practice and a great deal of necessary training to go through. It is in reality more of a grind than the average person thinks. To see a wrestler struggle on the mat may not seem so difficult for the man to overcome his opponent but in reality there are as many tricks to this sport as there are in Basketball and Football. In many ways it gives keen competition and Ottumwa re- grets to see it fade from the annals of our athletic roster. events this year arc: John Sheppard. Ted Eaton. Law fence Ellis. Charles Hand.

Wrestling Though called a minor sport there are plaques in the trophy cases which remind us that in former days not so long distant, wrestling was more of a competitive sport. How- ever. in Ottumwa High, due to the growth of basket- ball and football in popu- Mr. H. L. Trites, gymnasium in- structor. has popularized these minor sports, thus helping to dc- velop more boys than are usually developed in the two major sports, basket- ball and football. H i s gymnasium classes have also increased in interest because of the fascination of these newly sports. There cut classes now. and a greater athletic interest, than has ever been hereto- fore displayed. No diploma is granted to a boy without at least eightjsemesters of physical c. p. Co. education. introduced fewer are Baseball Baseball, although a major sport to the rank and file of the American people, has heretofore received little notice in our high school. However, due to the fact that Coach Harry W in , after his successful basketball season had little to do. as usual turned himself energetically to seek a new field of sport for O. H. S. fans. Being a player of no .small ability himself he loved the game and determined to create an interest in it in High School circles. In this he was successful and turned out one of the best teams among amateurs in this part of the country. Ottumwa met Troy twice, and won by a safe score. By superior pitching and batting when they grew to be enough of a club Coach Wing de- cided to take the nine to the High School Baseball tournament at New Sharon May n. In this tournament they were successful in beating New Sharon 14 to 4 in the first game in which Ottumwa starred. The second game was lost to Montezuma 4 to 3 in a hard fought battle, in which Leo Se- dore. former football center was the star of the encounter. This year due to different arrangements in the athle- tic department it has been decided that Coach Wing’s time is too well taken w ith track and spring football to coach the diamond nine, so baseball in Ot- tumwa High will along w ith the City League go into the pages of history. Members of the squad were: Joe Traul. Catcher; Kenneth Davis, Pitcher; Alvin Ross. Left Held: Gerald Lawson. Utility Man: Harold McMann, Short Stop; Leo Sedore. First Base; Pat Orman. Third Base; George Krafka. Left Field: Edgar Lovell. Right Field; Bernard O'Toole. Second Base; Phil Horan. Center field.

Olney and Miller to the Indoor Scholastic Track Meet at Iowa City February 23. This team placed fourth among many of the im- portant mid-western high schools. Oak Park. Illinois. Davenport, and Cedar Rapids finished in the first three places in the order named. Ot- tumwa stood second in the two mile relay and received medals for this accomplishment. The first outdoor track in the spring was the Penn relays in Oskaloosa, April 21. They placed second at Osky. scoring two firsts in five relay events. Fulton. Hand, and Miller won the sprint medley and Johnson. Gray, Fulton and Edmund established a record of one minute and 38.4 seconds in the half mile relay. April 27 and April 28 O. H.

Knowing how to swim is considered part of a youth's education, and being able to save another from drowning is a desirable addition of his acquire- ments To meet the require- ments of the state, which stipulates compulsory phy- sical education, the Ottum- wa High School provides a gymnasium and a swimming pool. The pool is constructed according to the latest scientific principles. To insure clean water, a filter is in constant operation; and to destroy any bacteria that may enter chlorine is percolated through the water. All swimmers are required to take a shower bath before entering the pool, and all the bathing suits are disinfected and hung in a special drying room each time after they are used. No one with a contagcous or infectious disease is per- mitted to use the pool. The required swim- ming includes the crawl stroke, the side stroke, the back stroke and the breast stroke. Div ing includes the plain front dive, the racing dive, and the surface dive. To those interested in fancy diving, an opportunity is afforded to practice the dives used in competition. All are given instruction in life saving, and those who are particularly fitted arc given the Red Cross Life Saving examinations. The girls' swimming classes have almost doubled in number in the last three years jumping from one hundred and fifty to slightly over three hundred in that time. Physical Education in some form is required of all girls. The first semester gymnasium is required for postural training, after that time the swimming may be elected by the girls. The beginning classes are large and very enthusiastic. The enthusiasm is carried over in the majority of cases into advanced in- struction. Beginners are taught proper breathing face and back front, back stroke, preliminary crawl, and ele- mentary diving. When they are able to swim across the pool they are given deep water tests, including submersion, floating, div- ing and treading. Intermediates are re- viewed on the beginning and they continue with advanced strokes and div- ing. Advanced swimmers perfect their swimming and diving from working into more complex dives. Mr. A. H. Johnson and Miss I lazel Orth are respective instructors for boys’ and girls' swimming classes and are much interested in this sport.

OTTUMWA I IIGII SCI IOOL Or ruM Know all men by these presents, that whereas, character, scholarship, leadership and service are cardinal qualities worthy of encouragement in all sch(X)ls. therefore the National Honor Society of Secondary Schools gives, grants, and delegates through the authority of this Charter the right, privilege and power to establish con- a. Iowa duct, and administer the- Torch Club —as a local chapter of the National Honor Society of Secondary Schools. This charter, number 155. is given and guaranteed this twenty- second day of August, nineteen hun- dred twenty-four by the National Council whose signatures are affixed below. It was the feeling from all sections to emphasize scholarship that prompted the organization of the Nat- ional Honor Society. In drawing up the constitution the committee was faced with the necessity of provid- ing an organization broad enough to meet all of the varying needs of these num- erous societies. Scholarship only, seemed too narrow;this was the opinion of some per- sons who had experience with societies where scholar- ship is the only standard of membership. On the other hand, there was great danger of ac- cording too little recognition to schol- arship. After considerable discussion the committee fixed upon character, leadership, scholarship, and'service as the fundamental virtues most useful to society and therefore most worthy of encouragement. “The emblem of this society is the keystone and flaming torch. The keystone bears at its base the rORY letters—S. L. C. and S. which stand for the four cardinal principles of its organization; scholarship, leadership, char- acter, and service. As the keystone is placed by the builder to hold the perfect arch in perpetual stability, so the structure of our edu- cation must be held firm and true to the purposes of life by the virtues represented in this symbol. Scholarship is the power of the mind to dispel ignorance and super- stition through scientific in- vestigation of truth; Leadcr- McCaii's ship is the power of person- ality that blazes the trail for man’s upward climb; Character, the com- posite of all the common virtues, sets the seal of righteousness upon our every endeavor; while Service is the beginning and end of our education, the altar of altruism from which God’s blessing to man have been vouchsafed. Thus the keystone symbolizes the high ideals of our Society.’’ TORCH CLUB Wncty-eigfit Torch Club OFFICERS First Semester President J 01 in Mai ion Vice President John Morrell Secretary -Gretchen Grotz Treasurer Francis Cawley ifi� Second Semester President—Marti ia Gordon ice President Mary Savage Secretary—Edna McCullougi i Treasurer John Morrell Members: John Mahon Rosalie Ackley Burdette Greenman Mary Savage Betty Waters Chauncey Fay Gretchen Grotz John Morrell Martha Gordon William McNett Marjorie Brenneman Alice Beck Arlene Gates Cl.AKA B.

The student body had no idea o f self-government whatsoever. The fi r s t year was spent in getting the student body back of the project or preparing the ground for the seed that was to be sown. It existed in name only. The fi r s t working Council was supervised by Miss Rose S. Miller in 1Q22. The Council was slow to gain a foothold with the student body; although they were in favor of a Council they did not respect the auth- ority of the Council until they realized that their action was final. The first real project of the Coun- cil was the lawn project. Clair Grooms, football captain and member of the Council was appointed Com- missioner of the Lawn by John War- ren. President of the Council. The Council members s x n changed the attitude of resentment to one of ad- miration for their work. Although students had crossed the lawn for years, the situation was conquered. Maintaining order in the Cafeteria was also entrusted to members of the Council. In iq22 and 1Q23. the Council was presided over by Jack Harris. The Library w as the big project under- taken this year. A campaign to keep lockers locked was also waged. Dur- ing the second semester Emerson Brooks was president. Monitors were placed in the Halls, and the Honor Roll was in- 3 stituted by the Council of 1024-1025. when William Brunk was president. Wallace I Jarpcr was chosen presi- dent the next year. During his reign. meetings were held during advisory period; passing period was changed from three to four minutes, the first I lonor Roll party was held, and the famous mock trial was given I ligh School Night. Bailey Webber in 1926- 1027 officiated as president. The Council conducted Open House Night for the first time and established the Check Room. A spe- cial campaign on Order in and Keep to the Right was waged. Last year John Lowcnberg was elected President. The big project during the year was the establishment of the Lost and Found Department. This year the Student Council under the administration of John Mahon has established the Informa- tion Bureau and Visitor's Pass System as a courtesy and aid to the visitors of Ottumwa High School. Probably their greatest project, however, was the sponsoring of the Club Room, a room for the purpose of entertaining visiting debate teams, declamatory contestants, various committee meet- ings. and O. H. S. Clubs at night. The Council was given a party to Honor Roll members each semester to encourage high grades and to re- ward high grades already attained. The Council has proven its own value in I ligh School life, and has become a necessity for improv ing the welfare of the school I r. p. Co. the Halls On« Hundred One Student Council The strongest personality in the Student Council -Rose S. Miller who for almost seven years has given her untiring efforts to further the every project of the Council. She is responsible for the place that the Student Coun- cil holds in our school life today. The growth of the feeling of admiration and re- spect for the Council from the disrespect and disregard to the Council in its begin- ning may be attributed to Miss Miller who has so wise- ly steered the Council ship. I ler diligence, intense inter- est. patience, fair judgment and her sweet and kindly disposition have won the admiration and respect of the whole student body and faculty alike and a place in the hearts of all who have felt her personality. We give everybody a square deal has been the motto of the Stud- ent Council Court this year. Prob- ably some student who has come under the jurisdiction of the Court has felt that the Court has failed to live up to its motto, yet the Court has endeavor- ed always to administer a square deal . They have tried to place per- sonal feeling in the background and consider only the merits and faults of the case remembering ail the while that it is only human to err. Mem- bers of the Student Council have been taken before the Court and pronounc- ed guilty, with a sentence accompany- ing this verdict given in the same un- prejudiced light. The S. C. Reserv es are the Police- men of the school. They arc responsi- ble for law and order in the school. It is their duty to turn anyone violat- ing the rules of the Student Council or defying the Reserve's authority over to the jurisdiction of the Court. Let us pretend that John Doe. a Junior in High School, comes past a Monitor in the middle of the period to get to his locker. He has no pink slip, and refuses to get one upon the request of the Council's I policeman. John Doe's ' name and offense are report- ed to the Commissioner of Halls by the Reserve. This report is placed upon the docket to await its turn in the next session of the Court, time he is called from his Classroom by the Clerk of the Court. His offense is stated to him by the Judge of the Court John admits that he «.lid go to his locker w ithout a pink slip, but he had just come from gym and he didn’t think he had to have a pink slip. John is only a typical example of the Court's cases. I le did not realize that he was committing an offense. He knew that he should have had a pink slip. Yet he felt that the Reserve should know that he wouldn't steal anything. Yet prob- ably that afternoon a case of stealing was reported in that corridor of lock- ers. John Doe is the only man who has been in the Halls that period with- out a pink slip. He is immediately suspected. The sentence that the Court in- dicts is probably useless in most cases. The offender soon realizes his mistake and repents. Very seldom does the Court try an offender for a second offense, yet a sentence seems the only way to establish the authority of the Council in maintaining law and order. One Hundred Tu o Student Council Reserves The policemen of the I ligh School arc the Student Council Reserves, representatives elected by the student body for the purpose of maintaining law and order in the building. These Reserves are elected from advisory groups, the number of each group depending upon the Class Year. Each Ereshman group is only allowed one representative, each Sophomore group two. each Junior group four, and each Senior group five. These re- serves are elected each semester. Those Reserves who have served and are not in the picture are: Glen Olncy. Barbara Albert. Bertha Dimmit t. Doris Alderdice, Wilbur Albright. Mary Louise Bart- lett, Leona Rowe.

Library has served a vast number of students this year. I here have been approximately 11 ,ooo calls in the year of ‘28 and ‘20. Stu- dents have found that it con- tains a wealth of reference material and also a large number of current maga- zines. The magazines cover such fields as English, drama, history, nature, science, mu- sic and current topics. Within the first semester approximately $400 were spent in purchasing material for the library. A set of Britannia encyclopedias and seventy-five new books were added to the list of books making over 2.200 volumes. A card catalog was started the second semester, which will prove a valuable aid to students. It is like catalogs in public libraries. Clippings of new topics and col- lections of pictures were started. Twelve students assist in the library, each working one period a day as well as noon, before and after school.

Those who show ability in some particular phase of journalistic work arc appointed to suitable posi- tions on the paper, where they are encouraged to develop their literary talents The experience of working on a real news sheet is of great value to students who aspire to he journal- ists. Ihe members of the staff are not confined to their own particular department, but are often expected to aid in other types of work on the paper. The Argus News has a large circulation and carries on an exchange with about sixty schools. During the past year a new system of circula- tion within the school has been in- troduced. Pach subscriber is given a small card, which he must present in order to receive his copy of the paper, and which is punched each time. This method has simplified the problems of distribution to the large number of subscribers within the sch(X)l. Under the influence of the staff advertisers, the Journalism students have been encouraged to write more original feature material: several mem- bers of the staff have proved them- selves deserving of much credit, by their endeavors in this line, and the general content of the feature page has Ixen noticeably improved. The Argus News staff has been trained to procure interviews and to write them up in a manner that ap- peals to the average High School student. I oth the St. Patrick's Day issue and the Paster edition contained a number of interviews which were i News instructive and most interesting. The citizens of Ottumwa have cooperated with the young journalists by kindly granting interviews to the staff re- porters. The Argus News sent delegates to both the Iowa City and Grinnell Journal ist ic convent ions. In the former meeting. Wm I lunt. Jr. won first prize in the news writing contest, competing against representatives from a large number of schools, and Chauncey Pay placed in the editorial competition. The characteristics of the g xxl journalist have Ix-en pointed out to the staff, and the students have grown to realize that a true newspaper man must always be able to verify the statements in all the news stories he writes, and should show impartiality at all times. Mr. Tillotson. the print- er of the Argus News, addressed the second semester staff on this subject, and commented upon the improve- ment in the general makeup of the paper. Ihe editorial page, during the last year, has broadened into news fields. A W ho's Who column has appeared in this section and a column known as The Inquiring Reporter has been established as a regular feature. A number of aspiring poets in our own High School have contri- buted to the Verse and Worse sec- tion and a considerable number have displayed remarkable ability in this tvpe of writing. The editorials have shown thought and care in their pre- paration. and among them, there have been a number that discussed un- desirable phases of high schtx)! life and the possible remedies.

One Hundred Nine The Argus Annual The une) Argus Annual Staff was elected in April iqz8. All summer and all year, those who had regular posi- tions on the staff worked hours each day to strive for an all-American hook. I he greatest honor to our hook is the honor that Hazel Beck and Rosa I ic Ackley are the two highest in their graduating class and are Business Manager and Editor respectively. Contrary to many staffs this staff practically 100 per cent worked con- sistently and well to make this $5000 project one which the student body should admire and respect. Perhaps the one person actually responsible for the success of the 1020 Annual is its faculty adviser Mrs. McDermott. Without her untiring efforts the staff would not have inspiration to carry on the work that has been al- lotted to them. The annual would not he the pride of the Senior class. Those who come in contact with Mrs. McDermott appreciate greatly the work she is always w illing to do. APPRECIATION ro Loren Chisman—O. H.

Few people realize the simple truth back of this state- ment. Do you know that one of the chief causes of ir- ritation and dislike in mod- ern society is an unpleasant voice quality? How much more tender the Mother s lullaby with a well modu- lated voice, or how much more commanding the lead- er of industry with a voice full, deep, and mellow. This is not a day dream. True, some people natural- ly have resonant voices but the musi- cal voice quality is not for the chosen few alone. A beautiful speaking voice is within the reach of each person; a little time and study put on vowel production, emphasis on consonantal attack clear cut diction, and 'presto we are beginning to feel the glory of creation. Today the general trend in edu- cation is to make the student a better citizen. We do not care if he has learned Whan that Aprilie with his Showrcs soote or how much Latin is at his command, but we do demand that he fit into his nitch of society. The speech work given in Ot- tumwa High School has this aim in view, to make the student communica- tive. Through the courses of Beginning o r I'un d a mental Speaking to Literary Interpretation. and t hence t o Publi c c. P. Co. Krtlr Mak Smith Dept. Head Speaking HI. the aim is to help the student express himself easily, fluently, and effectively. From the extra cur- ricular work in Debating. Extempor- aneous speaking. Oratory, Declamation, and acting corollating with the pre- scribed Speech courses comes the greatest benefit for it is through these med- iums that platform experi- ence is gained. Ertle Mac Smith, head of the department of speech lives her profession. This is an attribute which makes a specialist. Lnlarging the speech department in the regular carricular from one or two classes to five, in addition to producing state declamatory win- ners as well as a Dramatic Club unsurpassed not only in local circles but in state work. Ertle Mae deserves the praise of all Ottumwa I ligh School and its patrons. One characteristic which endears her to all has been the zeal with which she becomes interest- ed in the future of the individual and of the kindness and genuine interest in those who may not be stars. For Miss Smith says, There is some g(x d in everyone about me. and if I can help to develop that individual, there is more satisfaction in doing that than in claiming glory from those more talented. cst It was this inter- in the average which interested Miss Smith first in Chaun- cev Fay. who has de- veloped into one of the best I ligh School dramatists in Iowa. One Hundred Eighteen “Beau Brumrneir As the initial play of the year the Dramatic Club presented the clever English comedy. ‘Beau Brum- mell by Clyde I itch. I he six scenes in the four acts were crowd- ed with humorous inci- dents and lines as they took us through a char- acter study of the Eng- lish people during the time King George IV was Prince of Wales. This was the first pro- duction of the club to be staged two evenings. The seventeen members of the club have been trying for the past two years to present plays of the better class to its audiences. The success of Beau Brummcll in- dicates the success of its efforts. Much of the credit is due Miss Smith for her untiring efforts and her expert direction. a� The Duchess of Leamington, a gossip Charlotte Kittredgc.

The Pi- per,” by Josephine Preston Peabody, gives a very interesting version of the Pied Piper story immortalized by Robert Brow ning. The play opens as the Piper re- turns for his money, three days after the deliverance of the rats and mice. The Piper is a kind, good man. His magic, if any. is hidden in the depths of heart, for love is a mightier magic than all else.” I lis only w ish is to bring happiness to all the world. In : W ife of Axel the Smith Lucille Filer.

In this version Jan too is taken by the Piper to his Hollow I {ill. At last Veronika's love for her child makes the Piper realize that he must return the children. The play ends with the joy of this homecoming. The charming love story of Michael, the Sword-1 Cater and Barbara, the Burga- mcistcr's daughter adds another bit . of truth and beauty to the play. One Hundred Tuenty-four •THE PIPER One Hundred Tueniy- ite Debate Debate is one activity in O. H. S. which does not receive the support it merits. The debate squad works from late September until the middle of March. I .coking at debate from the won and lost column it appears as an unsuccess- ful year. Nevertheless, the debates which were lost, were lost by insignificant margins which in the de- bater's mind rests as 'moral victories. The first debates were those in the State scries. The question for discussion was Resolved: That the I nited States should cease to protect by armed force American capital in- vested in Latin America. Oskaloosa by the same score so we were eliminated from further competi- tion on this question. However, no sooner had these debates been closed than the teams began to labor diligently on the Iowa Nine question: Resolved: That a twenty-seven foot shipway from the Great Lakes through the St. Lawrence to the ocean should be built. (Congres- sional and Parliamentary difficulties waived. In the first round both teams lost by very small margins. T h e negative team, composed of Nathan Bookin.

On Hundred Thirty-Cuo Hi-Tri Club The blue triangle is the symbol of the Young Womens Christian Association and the letters G.

This symbol embodies those ideals of service, of love and right living which makes for a worth while girl, causing her to grow with a spirit of friendliness, in Christian character and personality. Girl Reserves share in a quest to find better ways of living, and to grow into a realization o f their responsibility for learning to make wise choices of things to think, to act and to do. Our program includes inspiration, information, service and social meet- ings. which can be developed by dis- cussion dramatization and demonstra- tion.

The Home Economics Club con- sists of girls enrolled in all departments of domestic science in the High School. To he eligible for membership a girl must have an average of 85% for the six weeks of her first semester's work. If she wishes to join at the beginning of her second semester she must have a B average for the first semester. The purpose of organization is to interest all girls in the duties of home and community. The work this year has been devoted largely to home making. On Novem- ber 15th the subject of Pictures for the Home was taken by the girls under the leadership of Mrs. Lehmann. On January 17th the girls took up the etiquette of entertaining in the home. The interior of one of the prominent homes in Ottumwa was studied by the members on April 18th. More interest has been evidenced with the new Home Management course which was introduced this year. Girls have studied furniture stores and all possible outlays of interior decora- tion. The value of the work lies in training the girl to make the home more pleasing and attractive.

Our club has furnished all of these and many more enjoyments for us this last year. ® Fiestas, or festivals, were furnished by members at their homes, in true Span- ish style: which is lavishly generous, gay—yes, even amorous! D a n z a s, or dances a la Americana and a la Espanol helped to start some of the slower and more timid, (boys, of course) on careers of social butterfly- ing which only the con- genial Spanish atmosphere could do. Thanks to Miss Kittleson, who had been in Spain last summer, we were treated the most delightful trip across that famed land of roses, of mellow art. of orange blossoms and white mantillas that tried but failed « to hide sparkling glances of Scnoritas. In fact, too lusty male members of the club have started a plot to hitch- hike to Spain to meet the Belle of Barcelona, as a result of the zeal for Spain and all that is Spanish engendered bv our Circulo de Espan- ol. As to bullfights—ah! We can not describe them here, but the members will tell you that one must grow up in Spain to really McCairs develop the heart for them. And one little secret—we could name several of our number who have struck up a muy calicnte corres- pondence with Spanish-speaking Ro- meos and Scnoritas. In fact, we are thinking seriously of forming a Span- ish colony with those who appear on this page as charter members. One Hundred Thirty-fn Latin Club Semester One Consu a—Joi in Iorrell. Johnson.

The aim of the programs is to show the human side of Roman life by interesting presentation of their daily life, customs, legends and traditions. At one meeting a debate was staged, with the question, “Resolved that Hercules would not be as great now as he was in the olden days. At the initiation of new members a playlet was given. At the annual Christmas banquet. the Saturnalia. a Roman feast day was also celebrat- ed. Fhc word. Christ- mas furnished the theme.

But dancing in a chorus is not half as bad as selling a lady's dust cap to a cigar salesman in the lobby of the Ballingall hotel. Is it. Garrctson? At our second meeting Mrs. V. B. Ramsay, took us with her to France, where we found sandwiches suspiciously flavored with cough loz- enges. The committee told us later that we were fortunate to get any food with Johnny Logan's hand reaching through the pantry window so often. At least, t h c chefs were not reduced to serving snails and horse meat, in true French fashion.

From time immemorial the spirit of make-believe, or shall we say Acting, has been developing through religious pageant, folk story, or heroic tale. In response to v this inate urge to act’ the Dramatic Club of Ottumwa High School was formed.

During two years of Normal Training work the girls com- plete one hundred hours prac- tice teaching and observation with grade school teachers. The Normal Training Club received a share of hon- ors also this year. In the Armistice Day Parade the Club float carried away second honors.

H i s first camera was broken while he was taking the picture of an officer of one of our or- ganizations. When questioned today, Mr. Chisinau said that the camera had been previously weakened by other officers and that the additional strain was too much. The organizations which will help to pay for the camera which they and their officers broke are: Student Council, Torch Club and Freshman Dramatic Club. The Yearly Disap|M intment has not mentioned the name of the student whose final efforts broke the camera, as it wishes to save him much embarrassment.

Bob-sledding was the feature of the evening and when sail ing down Center Avenue tin- pilot, Mr. Hamley became a little too giddy and selected, as a last resting place for the l� eloved Ixil . a nice soft tele- phone pole. With the true eye of a Spanish teacher he hit it, and for the next hour or two students were being collected from all over the ncighborhoml. The teacher, in a fain desire to be brave came to school the next day. But alas! The classes were sadly depleted for the pupils were forced to spend the next few days in bed. Soon, however, it was nec- essary for the pedagog to submit to his malady and he was not seen in our fair halls for quite awhile. It was ru- mored, in fact, that he would never be seen here again. When he finally appeared it was with the aid of crutches. This paper gives Mr. Ham ley their most heartful wishes and hope that he will recover as rapidly as possible. Bright Sayings of Children ().

Qucstionaires have been sent out to many of the parents and it has been found that too harsh treatment is being used in the correction of their faults so we here pre- sent a few suggestions which we hope will be carried out with much zest by the parents. 1. bet your children stay up until they get ready to go to bed if they want to stay up all night let them remember you're not losing any sleep over it. 2. If they want to take the car every night let them, as cars were made to drive. If they wreck them don't com- plain. that's what garages are for. to repair ears. 3. Don't by all means make a child study if he does- n’t feel like it -when you cross a child in something lie doesn’t want to do, it makes him lose his patience. 4. If they want to stay at home one day out of every week of school, let them, there arc too many at 0. H. S. any- way. 5. Give them all the spend- ing money they want. They- arc only young once and money is made to spend, if you yourself go bankrupt borrow from the bank, they have got plenty. Next year we will continue this, in the meantime follow this and your children are sure to end up in the reform school. The Duck Song “Waddle I Do.” Household Hints Girls! Before you get mar- ried see me—I'll tell you all you need to know about keep- ing house, especially the art of window washing.

A leak in the roof will stop as soon as the storm is over. 3. Limbergcr cheese should be disposed of as soon as it gets boisterous. 4. If the baby grows too fast feed it on condensed milk. 5. Be particular of your actions in the kitchen, re- member— potatoes have eyes. 6. After sifting worms out of raisins be sure to throw away the worms, not the raisins.
