VOLUME XXII of THE ARGUS Compiled and Edited hy the Class of 1930 of the Ottumwa High School Ottumwa, Iowa Preface “O for a book and a shaclic nooke. Eyther in-a-doore or out. With the greenc leaves whispering overhedc, Or the strcctc crycs all about; Where 1 may rcade all at my ease, Both of the new and the olde, For a jollie goode book whereon to looke. Is better to me than golde. I'or four years we have been fascinated by many things in this high school life of ours. We have been thrilling to the new, the exciting, the intriguing experiences which always come with youth and the joy of living. We have been making discoveries. in this 1930 volume w ith its literary theme, we have chosen to present for you two of these discoveries of ours. We want you to realize w ith us the pleasure and the fun of knowing Book- People We want you to choose from them those whom you would cherish and remember. Then, t x . we would share w ith you our most invaluable discovery, the intrinsic worth of comradeship, livery page of this hook has been planned with but one purpose—to bring you your memories of Friends, be they real or fictitious. For we believe most firmly that where there are people, there will be friends; where there are friends, there will lx happiness. The Authors. Dedication ro OUR IDEALS Reaching for them. We behold them vanishing; Striving toward them. We shape our destinies. In the city of Agra, in the land of darkness and of mystery, there stands one faultlessly beautiful edifice reared by man. Majestic in its simplicity, flaw- less in its purity, it serves as a memorial to one Muntaj Mahal, wife of Shah Jchan. Begun in the year 1632. (in which Near the Shah ordered the stopping of all Hindoo temple building) it was completed in 1650. Without, it is of whitest marble with inlays of precious stones. Within, it is aglow with gems of countless hues. The Taj Mahal— sacred, inspiring, glorified—a tribute to love and service, a memorial to an Ideal. Contents Chapter I Assures you that Juniors know much; Seniors, more; Sophomores, plenty; and Freshmen arc learning. Acknowledges the Faculty as respon- sible for the same. Chapter 11 Anticipates your dreams of future greatness. Shows where others have conquered in literature or politics or art Chapter 111 Tells our masculine readers how to he big. hand- some and broad of chest—and therefore intrigues our feminine readers. Explains how girls keep small, beautiful and willowy of figure and hence pleases boys. Chapter IV Takes you in pursuit of self-expression. Would you rule? Would you write? Would you act? Would you sing1 Chapter V l ells you of many things. Who speaks French and who speaks Spanish; who can cook and who can draw all members of our Federation of High School Clubs of Ottumwa. Chapter VI Gives you tales in praise of practically no one. Some are funny; some are not. Some are cold, and some arc hot. In Memoriam I is hard to part when friends arc dear. Perhaps t will cost a sigh, a tear; Then steal away, give little warning. Choose thine own time; Say not Good Night—but in some brighter clime Bid me Good Morning. ” Charles E Lewis Novhubbk 25. 1913 August 20. 1929 ■ ' Cover Motif In 1710 there was executed by one Antoine Padeloup. Royal Binder of France and Portugal, a mosaic design of gold upon a red background. This de- sign was placed upon a book which he presented to ITancoise Marie de Bourbon on the occasion of her marriage to Philip- pe. Duke of Orleans. During the Reign of Terror, the volume found its way to England where it was sold at a fabulous price, and where it may now be found in the British Museum. The panels used on our Argus Annual cover were suggested by a facsimile of this volume designed by Padeloup And Arthur's knighthood sang before the King 'The King is King; Clang battleaxe and clash brand. Let the King reign.” Idylls of the King” Administration Lester Jay C. I). Evans E. Manns Mrs. E. G. Barton C. C. Uwonberf; Mrs. I). E. Graham P. C. Raney W. McLain Board of Education Among the members of the Board of Education is divided the respon- sibility of the various schools through- out the city. Each member is the chairman of two committees. We are particularly interested in the work of the High School committee with Mr Raney as chairman. Mrs. Graham, Mrs. Barton. Mr. Jav and Mr. Evans assisting him. Mr Raney estimates that he is obliged to visit our building at least ten times each month in order to in- vestigate the advisability of improve- ments suggested by the administration here. These suggestions he then pre- sents to the Board which appropriates the necessary money if it so chooses. Shall we review for you some of the actions of the Board during 1929 and 1930? There was the correction of the faulty accoustics in the audi- orium, an improvement which cost about $3,000; the installing of an ice machine for the drinking fountains, a $2,200 project; and the purchasing of new steam tables for our cafeteria. There were teachers' rest rooms which were furnished, a new floor for the greenhouse; a club room with kitchen- ette for use by the student organiza- tions. For all of these projects, we are financially indebted to the Board of Education. Mr. Raney has further investi- gations to make. It is for him to check on such miscellaneous requests as that for the trap door used in “Seventh Heaven”; for additional shelves in the library; for new desks in conference rooms; or for a saw guard in the manual training department. Mr. Jay, the President of the Board, commented on several things in our school routine. He has noticed particularly the fine system of conduct in the halls and cafeteria. The work of the Council and the Reserves also drew his attention. Among the amus- ing sights sometimes interesting Mr. Jay are the strolling couples, the rush- ing ''preps'' and the occasionally empty information bureau. SIXTEEN R. P.

Principally , Faculty Administration Occasionally they write; occasion- ally they read; hut they are always answering questions-these admin- istrators of ours And what problems they arc called upon to solve! Mr. Douma hears a breathless Is that the last bell more often than any other inquiry He must know as much of Vassar as he docs about Har- vard in order to settle all the college credit difficulties with which the sen- iors are always overwhelming him Fen times in one morning was Miss I lightshoe called to the phone to hear the question. Is there any school today? She claims that the most frequent desire for information coming to her is. What time is it? Then there are the hopeful youths who. having heard rumors of special chap- els. always appear in the office to confirm them; and the parents who start their sons to school in the morn- ing. but call for the assurance that they really arrive there. Mr. Hannum is most frequently asked to give information as to the whereabouts of his teachers, their ad- dresses. their telephone numbers, their homes. Before a vacation he must continually announce the date of its beginning, during a vacation he is called to tell when it will end. When he visits the various schools, he must solve difficulties for teachers. When he meets parents, he is sometimes greeted with Did they really have a right to keep my boy after school1 However, the most unusual problem which came to Mr. Hannum by tele- phone in the pained and doubtful tones of a small culprit was. Please sir. could that teacher hang me up by my thumbs' She said she could. Multiply some fifty questions a day by some two hundred and fifty days Multiply this result by three — and marvel at the patience of Miss Hightshoe, Mr. Hannum and Mr. Douma.

Pic ken TWKNTV-ONK Johnson Clark Couplaml Miller Dunning Woodbury Student Administration The projects of the Student Council this year have been many. The chief aim was to promote social and school spirit by co-operating with all organizations and backing their activities. The Council has complete charge of the club room, the direct supervi- sion being in the hands of the com- missioners. Elizabeth Thomson and Phyllis Michael. These girls keep a calendar of events so that permission to use the room must be secured from them. In this manner conflicting dates are avoided. The club room, in itself a work of the Student Coun- cil. was made possible by the gifts of various school clubs and organizations, while the school board gave its aid by remodeling the room. Perhaps the most important part of the Council work is the reserve system. Each semester a large num- ber of reserv es are elected from the advisory groups, five from Senior groups, four from Junior, three from Sophomore and one from each Fresh- man division. In direct charge of these monitors are the Council librar- ians who check the reserves and supply substitutes if any arc absent. The judiciary power of this system is v ested in a court composed of three- council members, the president and two others who fill the positions of judge, clerk and prosecuting attorney. All sentences passed by this body art- signed by the adviser. Over sixty school flags were sold to Ottumwa merchants to be dis- played on days of special school ac- tivities. These are red and white with the words Ottumwa High School lettered across them. By running a check room on nights of basketball games or other activities, the Council defrays its own expenses. Because of this fact, it was possible to send four members. John Dunning, Elizabeth Thomson. Maxine Menefce and William Cram- blit to the High School Leadership conference at Ames. The Council wishes to thank the students for their cooperation in this check room enter- prise. Among the minor duties of this organization are the maintaining of order in the cafeteria, and the work of ushering and acting as guides on Open House Night. TWENTY-1 WO Mary Alien Catherine Coate Kosaman Stone Robert Murine Mrs. Thompson Doretta Buck Mrs. Parker Mabel Pcnnock Cafeteria Pood! Now. there is a word which gives everyone a bit of a twinge and a thrill along the spinal column Food! At eleven forty-five one hears great commotion and general excite- ment throughout the halls and class- rooms; simultaneously, there are fifteen hundred voices which utter Food, and three thousand feet which start in the direction of dinner. Some two hundred and fifty students turn daily to the cafeteria where Mrs. Thompson wields a mighty soup ladle. For seven years she has been doing this, and for only four days of that time has she been absent. We asked her to tell us of some of her problems; and what tales she gave us. Come, you two hundred and fifty eaters, answer these. What are salt shakers for. anyway? And pepper shakers, too1 Why. for the salt and pepper, you emphatically inform me. But VIrs. Thompson says that some two hundred and forty-nine of you sec no reason why the tables should not be salted and the floors peppered; and there is a problem in patience for the entire cafeteria force. Then answer me this one. Mashed potatoes are to be eaten. Yes. we all agree. But what about the artistic soul who not so long ago, moulded potatos on the table, framed them in salt -and left two eyes, a nose and a mouth of a perfect portrait for Mrs. Thompson to clear away. Here is a situation we should like explained. We can hear much noise and powerful roarings from almost all of you at almost any time and place. Often we hear you talking before we even see you. But. behold the change! In timid and reluctant tones you whisper across the steam tables. No one understands you. Mrs. Parker says. What?. and you mutter ' Soup.” Then Mrs. Parker has to ask again Food! What a solemn thought!

Hamilton Fred Lovintr Engineers Because we were anxious to find out about things of which most of us knew nothing, we went to Mr. Lev- ings. and our interview brought forth these statistics. Do not be alarmed by that “statistics they arc really interesting, 1.969 electric light openings in the building. 165.000 cubic feet of air entering per minute 5— 150 horse power boilers. 26.000 feet of radiators. 43 motors. 125 thermostats for heat control. 297 steam traps. 50.000 gallons of water in swim- ming pool. 23.000 bushels of coal used per year. We have quite a school. After gasping over these, we went to Mr. Reed to inquire about some of his worries. And listen, students, he likes us, all of us; but he does wish that we would not scatter these mi- croscopic bits of paper all over the floors. He has to sweep them away' He. also, has to clean off the pencil marks with which we decorate the walls during our artistic moments. Mr. Marble says that his work is far from monotonous. It is for him to keep peace and good w ill in evidence in the lower corridors. That is often a hard thing to do because the bicycle entrance is such an ideal spot for forcibly settling disputes and practic- ing the latest in holds and upper cuts. What Mr. Bosker dislikes the very most is to see these foot races in full cry throughout the halls. Then he must set forth in hot pursuit to subdue the guilty ones and quell their surplus energy. Often, however, the men find a room which is immaculate; there are no gum w rappers, no papers, no dis- carded note book covers. Occasional- ly. very occasionally, they find the halls in the same state of perfection. It is the consensus of opinion among those of the force that they w ish calm- er and less destructive “young Ameri- cans .

Granted that we have an exuberance over w hich our elders oc- casionally sigh and shake their heads in despera- tion. granted that we are so innocently wild would acknowledge our debt to our advisers who have overlooked these idiosyncracies of youth and piloted us toward higher and nobler things During our Freshman year Miss Fdna B Hus ten w as our adviser. Through the Sophomore difficulties Miss Gertrude Smith guided us. We appreciate the services of both of them, and extend our sincere wishes for their future success. It is to Miss Dorothy Niccolls who has sponsored us as Juniors and Seniors that the class of 1930 would now pay tribute. Her sweetness and sincerity will be very pleasant mem- ories for us. We are glad to have the opportunity of expressing, in a meas- ure. our appreciation of those endear- ing qualities. Although Miss Niccolls has alw ays eluded publicity and has kept herself in the background of our affairs, she occupies a prominent and lasting place in our hearts. She has been an un- tiring worker and a most amiable companion. We consider her loyalty and friendship as lovely things. We cherish her sympathy, her under- standing. her quiet influence which has made itself felt in all of our ac- tivities. There are those who. perhaps, have come a little nearer to her than others. We only wish that the entire class could have worked directly under her management There were hours spent w ith her in preparation for the Prom; there were committee meet- ings and class groups where everyone felt her friendliness. But why dwell longer on what we” think? Why not discover what she has to say of her career as sponsor of the Glass of 1930? Discovery 1: Some- times I register hopeless- ness. It is the day after a lyceum nu Tiber and Mr. Osborne informs me that the class of 1930 has made the startling percentage of one dollar and fifty cents on ticket sales. It appears as though our Prom will be a grand and glori- ous tragedy. Discovery 2 But wait! Now I radiate joy and contentment. Who could do otherwise? With such will- ing workers, such cooperation during hectic days of Tavor-making. decorat- ing. Senior Mid-year. Senior chapel, and our Swan Song commencement. Discovery ?: Tragedy! But how can it be helped1 The bond of friendship between Phyllis and Sam is almost severed. Just over ticket sales, too. Surely nothing personal enters into this—they both have the interests of the class at heart Who w ins1 Again 1 see the triumphant ex- pression on Sam's face w hen the re- port comes in Discovery 4; Do you wonder that I am contented1 That all my unpleasant memories give place to happy ones1 There are the smiles; the confidence with which these sen- iors reward me; our bank account, our athletics, our debate and dramatic representatives; our friendly quarrels w ith the juniors; the thrill of our class yell and song. And these are mere beginnings of still happier thoughts about my seniors. Saiior Class Officers Dick Li vans President, is Regarded as an Earnest worker.

CLASS I Let's sing a song of cheer To the best class of the years; It's one that's worthy of all our praise: And sometimes things went wrong. But theyr never lasted long. If ice just boosted the class of thirty; Long shall we hear praises and cheer Heaped on the class 3—o. I'ond thoughts so dear. Some that brought tears. Will linger on: And when we reach success There's one thing well confess. Its 'cause we boosted the class of thirty. SONG II Our dearest memories shall be of school days fair, And these shall linger about our pathway Telling of jolly fun. the thrill of work well done. The joy of playing the game together: Our whole life through whale er we do Will be enriched by these days. Days which have gleamed Softly with beams Of friendship’s ray: One-Nine-Three 0 will be A name of memories. A challenge calling for best endeavor. (Tune of Painting the Clouds With Sunshine ”) by Frank Hyatt. Bertha Cresswell. Charles Apley I'ORTY-ONK Nescio Quid Meditans There is something about the fall of the year that appeals to me; something that is native to my blood. 1 cannot define what I mean. 1 be- lieve it is indescribable, but I like it. for it is inspiring. Often of an aut- umn evening 1 rest by my camp fire, smoking my pipe in the clear cool air. and thrilling to the beauty of Nature s masterpiece which lies before me. Across the lake there rises a great cl iff which, in the daylight, is splat- tered with the red and yellow leaves of oak and iron wood. In the twi- light and the growing darkness its top seems to vanish into a bank of clouds until it becomes indiscernable. All around me is the fragrance of newly fallen leaves dampened by the frost, and the light autumn breeze springs up scattering the little fleet of crimson and gold fairy boats on the water's edge. Behind the purple hills the sun goes down. Over the cliff, over the dis- persing rim of clouds, rises the moon to send her golden streamers far across the rippling waters. Darkness comes. A darkness bringing with it the feeling of solitude. As I gaze into the fire again, a retrospective mood claims me. For some reason which I cannot quite explain, the fire recalls my youth, a period of my life which I deeply cherish. I think of my high school days, days now remote, when life was free from worry and respon- sibility There is pleasure in re- membering them, their joys, the as- sociations. the friends but faintly re- membered. For me. undoubtedly, the happiest period of my life has passed: it was terminated by my graduation. There are some who may not feel as I do about high school memories, but are there any who do not cherish a faint yet often poignant desire to live again those years, to revive those friendships1 To me. dreaming of them before my autumn fire, they seem a life apart, something consecrated, something holy. Gradu- ation ended them. If there be any who say they can see no beauty, no touch of the Divine in Nature, let them come to me. I shall take them to my camp in the country of God. I shall show them the cliff across the faintly stirring waters just as the orbid moon comes from behind the low-flung mass of clouds and shines upon the lake I shall let them sit of an evening by my fire—my fire, portraying in its smoke the dim future; in its ashes, the dead past; in its glowing embers, the teeming present. I shall have them listen to the swan, and as his song floats across the waters, they, too, will recall their memories, their loves, their comrades. M RTV-l VO Youth and the sea. Clamor and the sea.

There was dancing to be done, conversation to be promoted, girls to be enter- I tained: and all day i he had been climb- ! ing ladders, sweep- E ing floors and hang- ing streamers.

Gee. no' What's the racket? Why, listen; he took the car out at intermission, had six other kids with him; all kids we know, too. Right out by Albany a car came up and— Say. woman, you’re raving' No, honest. Dutch. And Blake turned so quick that he went up over the sidewalk and smashed into the reservoir—ruined the car (that would you know) and pretty much upset the kids. too. And oh— C'mon. where’d you get the news1 That's funny.’’ Not so funny. Dutch. I never heard it myself. Well I'll be— Blame yourself, old dear; you just got through saying I couldn't tell you anything you didn't already know. Ha! Later came Dutch's dance with Wilberta. Lor some reason she petrified him. made h i m tongue-tied. Perhaps it was be- cause of her accent which fascinated him. She began the conversation. Dance 5: I'm sure we've waltzed together before. Don't you remem- ber? I don’t think so. Oh. but I am certain. Let's sec, was it at Senior Mid-Year1 Huh-uh. Junior1 Don’t think so. Charity Ball1” Nope. Why, Dutch, how queer. Next on the program came Ce- cile. Dutch hoped that she would not try to talk, but she did, so he found himself making valiant efforts to rise to the occasion. Dance 6: Isn’t this a keen night1 You bet! —and there Dutch faltered. It was a lovely night, quite perfect, in fact; there could be no doubt about that. But what was to be said next? This has been some year for athletics, what1” (He had just remembered that Cecile was in O Club). Sure. Football was better than basketball though. Gee, that Daven- port game was a flop. Flop? (josh, yes! But Mus- catine made up for a lot of things. Yep! But what'll happen next year—half the team'll be gone. And the music stopped just as the conversation had nicely started.

in the corridors, or slightly stupid in your mind1 I do. Sometimes they both happen at once; then it is just too bad. One d a y 1 could not find my self for three hours. I stood all that time by the Lost and Found box wait- ing for some one to claim me. No- body did. I'm not very bright, you see. But while I was standing. I decided to sec what else was waiting to be claimed. They were funny, the things I saw. A cracked phonograph record. I could not read the title but I saw Eileen Gilmore’s name on it. I play- ed with it awhile; spun it into Miss Miller’s Algebra class. She didn’t like that very well. Then there was something gold; yes. gold, actually gold, in the bottom of the box. I touched it, jumped away, then touched it again—it was still gold. A locket. Inside was Janet Hardsocg’s hair, a lock from the north central section just above her left ear. Ah-ha, a paper wad. The one William Hannum threw in study hall. I'd throw' it again if I could ever find the study hall. I really hoped that I would find some money too. But the only thing around was Bookin’s class report— marked down to $1.98. Right next to it was LaGurna’s stacomb, and some grease paint Martha Jane used once. Lor awhile I thought about read- ing. Everybody was in classes anyway and nobody seemed to be showing any signs of finding me. I hadn’t even found myself. I won- dered if I ever should. But the hooks— there was Tarzan the Untamed” with I toward Toole’s name on the first page. And Dick Hofmann's Poppy Ott and the Galloping Snail.” Yeah, uh-huh. the hook Baxter Smith used to read to me about ’Dick Dasha way and his Electric Motor Car . There! Baxter! It occurred to me that if I could only see him maybe I could find where I belonged. What did he make me think of1 Oh yes— lentils and axes and queens with curls. Funny, that axe was in the Lost and Found box along w ith everything else; and one of the lentils too. I thought that maybe Miss Platts would want them back. Maybe I could find her room and take them to her. I didn’t feel quite so stupid as I had when 1 first got lost. Maybe I could get somewhere if I tried hard enough. So I took a book of Margaret Jane Clark's finger exercises with me and started out. I don't remember now whether I got anywhere or not! INSPIRATION Here work enough to watch the Master work, and catch hints of the proper craft . Rabbi Ben Ezra “Strive and Hold Cheap the Strain’’ In the ensuing pages we are seek- ing to eulogize those Ottumwa High School graduates who have striven, learned and dared that they might attain the dreams and ambitions which came to them as students. We are presenting to you eight who. going from our school into various fields of activity, have found themselves re- cognized nationally. There are as- similated in this group, representa- tives of various callings. We have chosen two writers, a sculptor, a musician, an illustrator, an aviator, an economist, a traveler—each one claiming Cttumwa as his home; each one having raised himself from com- parative insignificance to extensive recognition; each one having excited the respect of the masses by the ful- filling of his ambitions and desires. Ottumwans who have fought “ad astra per aspera . These people have extended their felicitations and congratulations to us. the Seniors of 1930. They have wished us success in our future plans. They have expressed their hopes that we may make it our resolution to attain a favorable and prosperous termination of anything attempted. Perhaps you are wondering why we have given these pages to men and women whom few of us know personal- ly and with whom we shall probably seldom come in contact. In the moments when we become slightly introspective and serious about our- selves and the purpose of this life of ours, w e admit our need of something tangible to which we may direct our dreamings and visionings We must keep before us. far distant, perhaps, but none the less attainable, a goal toward which we may direct our en- deavors. We need to see what others have accomplished that we may gain courage for doing likewise. We find that it is a good thing to reach toward those greater than ourselves. And so. we arc giving these graduates to you as standards of attainment. Let us first formulate our desires, then let us undertake them with vigor and unfaltering courage, reassured by the knowledge of what others have done. Though we may be obscure, though we may be temporarily sub- dued by the vast and sometimes monotonous practicalities of life, we may rise, as have others, on stepping stones of our dead selves to high and glorious futures. And so. to you. we present these alumni. Do you tingle w ith glorious anticipation at the thought of wander- ing in other countries and mingling with other people? Arc you reaching with hesitating fingers toward self- expression in art or writing'' Does the mighty and varied field of political activity and intrigue fascinate you1 Within these pages, then, you will find tales of others who have had the same dreams and attained, through them, success and satisfaction. These other graduates of Ot- tumwa High School we cherish and respect. They are representing us to the nation. May they continue in their successes, imprinting their names indelibly upon the minds and hearts of those about them. Daniel F. Steck (Politician) For the past six years an Ot- tumwan and a graduate of our High School has represented Iowa in the National Senate at Washington. It is the first time in her history that Ottumwa could claim this honor. Daniel F. Steck has long been prom- inent in the local councils of the Democratic party and during his term as senator is now making a com- mendable record nationally. Mr Steck was born in Ottumwa in 1881. and has lived here during the greater part of his life. He entered the Ottumwa High School in 1897, and while there made a lasting im- pression as an all-round student. Greatly interested in athletics, he starred in football for four years, the fourth year as captain of his team. He also made the basketball and track teams, managing them during his last two years in school. As a senior he held the position of editor of the first Argus Annual. Graduating from high school in 1901. Mr. Steck entered Iowa Uni- versity. There he continued his in- terest in athletics, playing with the Iowa football team and holding a high place in the intra-mural competition. In 1906 he was gradu- ated after having com- pleted a course in law. During the seasons of 1906 and 1907 Mr. Steck was athletic coach in the Ottumwa High School. Fie had always been active in city and state meets, at one time having won several scul- ling medals in the state regatta which was held in Ottumwa. In the recent World War Mr. Steck served as Captain of the One Hundred Ninth Field Service Bat- talion. and has since been prominent in American Legion work as com- mander of the Iowa department of the organization and as a member of its National Legislative Commit- tee. Mr. Stecks election to the Senate came in 1924; it w as bitterly contested by the losing candidate, but was de- cided in Mr. Stecks favor. While serving in that office, he has been a member of two important committees, the committee on Military Affairs and that one dealing with Post Offices and Post Roads. In connection w ith his activities he has urged the passing of bills such as pensions and government insurance, measures advocating the aid of the ex-soldier. Also he had favored measures making possible the utilization of the corn stalk for the manufacturing of dry products, there- by saving the farmer much waste. In Ottumwa High School Mr. Steck is regarded as a favorite son. We may be proud of his attendance here in our school. He has made a splendid record and the class of 1930 looks up to him as a leader. Political life de- mands men of utmost diplomacy and extreme strength of character. Such traits do we find in Mr. Steck. sixty-poi'h Harold Ayres (Musician) In the field of instrumental music to-day the name Ayres is an im- portant one. It calls to mind the remarkable rise of a former Ottumwa boy from a relatively obscure place to the position of second rank in one of the countries largest orchestras, the Minneapolis Symphony. This at- tainment of Mr. Ayres, concert mast- er. has been outstanding because of his extreme youth. Five years ago he was fifteenth violinist in the group. In 1927, by dint of consistent work and hours of practice, he was named Assistant Concert Master. When his superior. E. Joseph Shadwick. became ill and subsequently went abroad to recuperate. Ayres was nam- ed to fill the vacancy thus occasioned. He is the youngest person i n t h e country to hold this position. Harold Ayres was bom in Ot- tumwa in 1901. When he was seven- teen months old. he had his first violin which was fashioned by his father from a cigar box. When he was five years old. he began studying music. Some four years thereafter, his parents moved to Chicago in order to secure for him the best in musical training. Here he was graduated from the Chi- cago Musical College, making his debut in a contest con- ducted i n that school. The judges before whom he played were high lights of the violin world: among them were such men as Eugene Ysvae. Fredrick Stock. Harold Bauer. Ayres gained all the prizes offered and as one of these was given the opportunity of ap- pearing as a soloist with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. Leopold Auer, teacher of Joseph Heifetz and Mischa Elman, was one from whom Mr. Ayres received in- struction. He also took work under Kneizel and Sevcik of New York. His concerts have been given through- out the country, one tour being made w ith George Marshall, famous Chicago tenor. Much of his success in the Minneapolis Symphony has been due to the tutilage of Henri Verbruggen, the director of the orchestra. And so. you Seniors, you musici- ans with your dreams of great futures, remember that as others have accom- plished, you may do likew ise.

His posters and paintings, his cover ill- ustrations and pen sketches, include collections painted for the Steinway Piano. Chesterfield Cigarette and Palmolive Soap Companies. These groups are familiar to all of us. Mr. Chambers was born and raised in Ottumwa. Immediately after his graduation from the high school, he studied at the Art Institute, still later doing work at the Art Students' League in New York. For a time he was employed in the J. VV. Edgerly firm here in Ottumwa, and designed the trade mark still used by them. His entrance into the commercial art field Mr. Chambers describes thus; I started in art work much as anyone else docs. 1 was always intensely interested in art. and my family, though dubious about it as a pro- fession. were not averse to my trying it.” Mr. Chambers’ work has been divided between magazine illustra- tions and commercial posters. In the former field he has done much for The Cosmopolitan”. The Ladies Home Journal , “The Woman's Home Companion.” Most promin- ent in this line were his illustrations of the Get Rich Quick Wallingford stories which ran for some nine years in the Cosmopolitan . Perhaps slightly more important are the commercial posters which Mr. Chambers has done. LI is Stein way Collection consists of a group of portraits representing famous pianists and including, among others, those of Rachmaninoff. Paderewski, Hoffmann and Bauer. These were widely pub- lished in full color, and won for their artist immediate recognition. For the most part, the musicians are sitting at their pianos playing or composing. Equally well known is Mr. Chambers scries for the Chesterfield Cigarette Company. These have also been displayed throughout the nation. Among them are; Nothing Stops ’Em a vivid picture of a football scrimmage for which Mr. Chambers' son posed; Tried and True;......Phe Season’s Best—a Christmas portray- al; The Choice of a Lifetime; Wholesome As All Outdoors; and his most recent one. Chosen by the Byrd Expedition . The latter poster is done with a blue-gray, subdued Antartic background in which figure the base ship, the aeroplane Ameri- ca and a group of dogs on the ice fighting over a fish. In the fore- ground. are the two smokers lighting a match which throws a bright gleam on their down-turned faces. Mr. Chambers’ third collection was made for the Palmolive Soap Company. In this group the most outstanding are Never Mind the Years and Ideals of Beauty Mr. Chambers—illustrator, artist —learn from him. if you will, of the opportunities possible for you.

His education was possibly only because of those am- bitious qualities found in the truly great, which prompted him to grasp the new opportunities of an adopted country. In his life may be found the traditional rise of an immigrant boy to prominence and position in his chosen field. Born at Huetlanda, Sweden in 1873, he came to Ottumwa when he was seven years old. How he began his colorful career as a newsboy, and later held several odd jobs about town, even to the stoking of furnaces for the buildings along the block now occupied by the picture shows, make vivid tales. It is well remembered by some townspeople how David .while firing in thej. B. Sax building, fashion- ed a bust of Washington from a huge lump of coal and set it up in the dis- play window of Gepharts Drug Store. At the age of twenty-one he set out alone and on foot for New York where he worked until he had earned enough money for passage to Sweden. Then he crossed the ocean on the steerage as a coal stoker. Once in his fatherland, he worked his way through technical schools and the Royal Academy of Fine Arts at Stockholm. Not yet content, Edstrom jour- neyed to Florence. Italy, the mecca for lovers of Renaissance sculptoring. and did two years of advance work there. From 1907 to 1909 he was the proprietor of a private school of sculptoring in Paris. In recognition of his exceptional work and his super- ior skill, he was given the honorary degree of ! ctor of Arts by the Chi- cago Law School. Mr. Edstrom’s work has been extremely varied in nature. His self- education. the fact that he has climbed to fame against every disadvantage accompanying poverty and limited education, has netted him a high po- sition in many lines. Not only has he excelled in art, but he has also made lecture tours in America, talking on social, economic and political con- ditions in Eurpoe. His objects d art are known both in Europe and America. He was employed by the city of Gothenburg. Sweden to design a public square system and civic center. The Vic- tory Memorial in commemoration of the World War heroes was cast by him. He has made a portrait bust of Abraham Lincoln and of many of the scions of Swedish royalty. These last include The Crown Prince and the Princess Patricia. His latest accom- plishment is the erecting of a bronze statue of M. I I. Whittier. California financier and philanthropist, erected in Exposition Park. F'urther fascinat- ing groups of his include symbolical figures of Fear, Pride. Envy. The Cry of Poverty. Ottumwa knows him best by the only example of his work here, the bronze eagle with spread wings which rests upon the Victory shaft in Central Park. To appreciate this David Ed- strom. it is not necessary to possess a technical knowledge of sculptoring. His life and his heroic rise serve as guides to fellow Ottumw ans who would follow in his lead. sixty- SEVEN Beatrice Blackmar Gould (Writer) The attention of the literary world is being attracted at the present time to two young New York authors who arc former Iowans. They arc Bruce Gould formerly of Des Moines, and Beatrice Blackmar (Gould) who was raised in Ottumwa. The occa- sion for their bursting into print and the spotlight of the public is the pub- lication of a three-act play, Man s Estate , which was produced by the Little Theatre of New York. Bruce Gould, the husband, is well known for its interest in aviation. He has had journalistic experience on the Des Moines papers, and is now aviation editor of the New York Evening Post. He is also a play- wright. a contributor to various mag- azines and newspapers, and the dra- matic critic for the Wall Street News. In 1919 he acquired wide popularity and recognition by his book Skylarking. The Romantic Advent- ure of Flying in which he has art- fully combined the thrill with the practicalities. Beatrice Blackmar has been writ- ing in one field or another since her high school days. She was born in Emmettsburg. Iowa, and came with her family to Ottumwa when she was twelve years old. She was grad- uated from the Ottumwa High School and the University of I o w a. While in the university, she showed exceptional talent in writing and was granted the Julia M. Robinson scholarship which allowed her to study at Columbia. At the latter school she was given her Master of Arts degree. Like her husband, Mrs. Gould has had newspaper experience, both on Ottumwa and Des Moines papers. Subsequently, she wrote some short stories which appeared at various times in Pictorial Review. Liberty and The Ladies Home Journal . These stories include, among others, her widely read Sic Transit Gloria” and The Man Who Knew Women . It is in them that she creates the char- acter Putty Green who. with his car. his dog and his girl, carries the story to a vivacious conclusion. Within the last year the Goulds, with several other literary families of New York, have engaged in the co- operative apartment movement so popular now in the cast. Among the families in the same apartment are Mr and Mrs. Carl Van Doren of Liter- ary Guild fame. Since the marriage of these two in 1924. they have done some work in colloboration. They have, however, kept their positions on rival papers. Mrs. Gould being the assistant editor of the New York World and in charge of the maga- zine department of that paper. The plays. Man's Estate and Ninon de le Clos, are products of their work- ing together. It is also rumored that they have sold a play to Ethel Bar- rymore for production. SIXTY no IIT Howell Scott Cresswell (Journalist) Howell Scott Cresswell exemp- lifies American versatility. Deeply interested in music, he has studied or taught in New York, Paris and Mos- cow. As a correspondent for Ameri- can and foreign publications, he has distinguished himself. Twice has he been arrested as a spy; once while photographing scenes of the Balkan wars of 1911. and again under the old regime in Russia. Here, the rattle of his camera in his suitcase was thought to have been a bomb. Those to whom mention of Le Dome” brings thoughts of nights abroad in Paris will recall that the wall decora- tions of this famous haunt arc by Mr. Cresswell. He is known as a traveller, trade expert and architectural critic. Mr. Cresswell was bom in Ot- tumwa in 1884. His home is well- known to every student because of its proximity to the High School. In 1902 he was graduated, having com- pleted the course in three and one half years. In 1906 he received his college diploma from the University of New York at Cornell. Since that time he has spent most of his life in Europe. He studied at the Sorbonne University (Paris) for two years and from 1907 until the outbreak of the Balkan War he taught music and art i n Moscow. While here, he had many interesting experiences. One of these we have already mentioned, his arrest as a spy. An- other was the rare op- portunity of interview- ing Count Leo Tols- toy. eminent novelist, who was living in a country home ahout an hour’s drive from Moscow. Because of the intense Anti- American feeling pervading Russia at this time, Mr. Cresswell was forced to leave the country. Going t o Turkey for the purpose of accomplish- ing some photography work, he found himself stranded there by the out- break of war with Greece, and was for the second time seized as a spy. On this occasion he was held at Sal- onika as a prisoner of controversy. At the beginning of the World War. Mr. Cresswell returned im- mediately to New York in order to enlist with the American forces, but he was rejected because of ill-health. He was returned to Prance, however, by the 'International Trade Develop- er' a commercial magazine of New York seeking to open foreign offices. He is now active on the staff of the Paris edition of the Chicago Tri- bune and a contributor to “Good Furniture , the Silk Market and National Geographic. To the latter magazine especially, he has contribut- ed many collections of photographs and travel pictures. One very unusual honor came to Mr. Cresswell in 1925 during the time when Mr. Hoover was Secre- tary of Commerce on the National Cabinet. As a delegate-at-large he was appointed by Mr. Hoover to represent the United States at the In- ternational Exposition of Modern Decorating and Industrial Arts in Paris. Donald Keyhoe (A viator) Mr. Donald Keyhoe may right- fully be listed among the most dis- tinguished citizens of Ottumwa. He has asserted himself in the field of aviation, and has gained an enviable reputation as a flyer, l ie was bom in 1898 at 424 West Fifth Street In 1911 he was enrolled at Ottumwa High School, and in 1915 was (to use his own words) “graduated, much to the surprise of faculty and self.” After- four years at Annapolis, Donald studied at the Marine Officers' School and at the Naval Av iation School of Pensacola. Florida. So sucessful was he in his pro- fession. that he was granted the honor of piloting the escort plane during Colonel Lindbcrg's air tour of the country. In writing a human in- terest story of this trip, Donald com- piled a collection of events which w as received with interest and enthusiasm by the public. At present he is living in Washington, D. C.. where he is occupied in writing magazine articles and preparing lectures for the coming lyccum seasons. l nald was graduated from O. H. S. in the class of 1915. just fifteen years ago. Let us hope that there may be one of us. or several of us. who will follow in his footsteps. The class of 1950 w ill be proud of anyone of its members w ho can make as rapid progress as did Donald Keyhoe. We congratulate him, and extend to him our best wishes for future successes, added laurels, and increasing glories; for, as his successes and laurels and glories grow, so likewise grows our admiration and pride. Honore Willsie Morrow (Novelist) Abraham Lincoln. Lewis and Clark, the new Southwest, all these have a new and more vivid meaning when portrayed by Honore Willsie Morrow. In a direct manner she tells the story of man’s conquering the western wilderness, and of the free- ing of a race. Because this Honore Willsie Mor- row was born in Ottumwa, we arc es- pecially interested in reading of her. She is a graduate of the University of Wisconsin at Madison. In 1914 she became editor of the Delineator . In 1919 she resigned to continue writ- ing indefinitely. Her books there- after have dealt variously with Bibli- cal characters. Westward expansion, and the Civil War. Mrs. Willsie has w'rittcn most about the West, ranging from the Arizona Canyon Country to the Ore- gon Trail. The best known of her western books, We Must March , deals with the Oregon Trail and the Lewis and Clark Expedition. In recent issues of the Ladies’ Home Journal Mrs. Willsie has started a series. Blood of Our Blood ”, stories dealing with Biblical charac- ters and times, and portraying the child’s struggle for existence. Per- haps one of the greatest missionary novels of 1929 is her Splendor of God . Mrs. Willsie is at her best in her stories about Lincoln. These include Benefits Forgot , a true story telling of a young army surgeon whose edu- cation had been made possible at a great sacrifice on the part of his mother; Forever Free. a story of Emancipation; and Mary Lincoln ”. SEVENTY Athletics An athletic program as large as that sponsor- ed by the Ottumwa High School demands expert management. And so. we bow to Mr. Tiede, business manager, and to Dick Evans, Student Manager. Without Tiede the teams would have to make their trips without Money. Such being the case, the teams would not make any trips, there would be no out of town games and athletics, well, athletics would not amount to much. All of which goes toward proving the absolute importance of Mr. Tiede. Without this same smooth-voiced manager in time of battle, hotel keepers would go unap- peased and damages unsettled. Which is a second proof of Mr. Tiede’s value. The duties of the Student Mana- ger are. perhaps, not so arduous mental- ly. but none the less varied. Once, Evans had to be both manager and physician, furnishing first aid to a badly battered and unconscious half- back. Another time he was called upon to give first aid to himself after Harkins opened the bus window and Evans fell out. Besides playing ■'nursemaid ' to the foot- ball squad. Dick posed as”laundry maid”, hand- ing out clean clothes, in- specting locker boxes and hanging up the uniforms. Every Saturday this Student Manager had to put in his appearance and lime the field for the afternoon game. Fortune was these managers many times, however. They earned the privilege of being entertained at the blow outs and ban- quets given for the teams throughout the year. There was the banquet given by the Kiwanis; Coach Van Antwerp and Coach Glen Bingham of Iowa Wes- leyan gave the speeches. The one by the Rotarians at which Coach Eby of Coe College spoke, and later, another by the same group featuring Coach Glen Devine of Parsons who addressed himself to the basketball boys. On Armistice Day the football field was the scene of a memorable event, the dedication of the flagpole erected in memory of Walter B. Shafer who gave his life in the World War. Mr. Shafer who was graduated from the Ottumwa High School in 1913 was the son of Mr. and Mrs. John Shafer. After graduation he took university work at Chicago. When football was at its best there, he was fullback on the team. Just a few months before his graduation he left to ente the While in active ser- vice Mr. Shafer became a lieutenant. He was later injured and died in a war hospital. The dedication ser- vice was brief but very impressive. Those par- ticipating were: Mr. and Mrs. Shafer. Mr. Man- ning. Martin Wade Jr..

Football Scjuad Of all the football fans in Ottum- wa. only a few know the real method of attack used by Coach Van Antwerp in getting a team into playing form. We arc giv ing here some routine which is used at practices with the entire squad. The first night after suits are is- sued comes the exercising and getting the muscles into shape. Then there is practice in passing, kicking and methods of handling the ball efficient- ly. After this week of limbering stiffened muscles, the group is taught how to take stance ' and to start properly. Since the chief factors are blocking and tackling, any team with these two perfected is bound to be successful. Accordingly, night after night is spent on the field in this drill. By this time the coach has been able to pick out the players who show the most ability and can begin with organized teams to work out various plays. Each man is assigned his one particular duty to perform; it may seem a trivial thing when a player makes just one or two mistakes, but suppose that each of the eleven men makes only two; there you have twenty-two errors and the game is lost. WE NOMINATE I OR ATHLETIC RECOGNITION V incent Kennedy. Cap- tain. Right Guard. Sen- ior (because) he was feared by every lineman on account of his fight and grit: ad- mired by them for his clean and speedy play- ing; chosen by his team mates as worthy of hold- ing the position of Cap- tain; and lastly, because he carried the Bulldog gridmen through one of the best football seasons on record. SEVBNTY-F1VB Wayne Criglkk, Right Tackle, Senior (because) of his dependability; not once through- out the season did he miss a practice; though not given to talking much or to doing spectacular feats. “Whitev” played hard and consistently, and was always in placeto tackle the ball carrier for a loss. Rot.i.a no Fisher, Right Halfback, Sen- ior (because) critics recognize him as the most vicious tackier and the hardest blocker on the team; local fans claimed him as one of the most dependable ground gainers seen here in years; because the oppon- ent’s tacklers would feel him spin” and tear off for another gain just «as their hands closed in on him. Cuff Lathrop, Left Halfback, Senior (because) he was a sure tackier and a hard block- er; he was one of the best open field runners that Ottumwa has seen for a long time; even though he suffered an injured ankle during the latter part of the season, he continued to play a good game. SEVENTY-SIX Sam Clark, Quarterback, Senior, (because) playing his last year for O. H. S. he proved a reliable safety man and a powerful tackier; keeping a cool head in threatening situations, he gave his team mates courage: although handi- capped by a bad knee which was almost sure to be hurt in the course of the games, he could be relied upon to do more than was his actual share. Bon Krskink, Left Tackle, Senior (because) as the giant of the O. H. S. gridmen, he was one of the mainstays in Ottumwa’s forward wall; as a dangerous player, he was so much feared that in the Oska- loosa game their coach detailed three men to stop him; .is a sample of what one hundred and ninety pounds of bulk can do, he, by sheer strength, mussed up many a mighty defense. Stephen Gage, Left Tackle, Senior (because) a weak heart which for a time kept him from the game did not hinder him when he once more declared eligible; the man he was after in offensive battle always got caught; the defensive he showed was steady and reliable; the plays which opponents tried to place through Buck’s side of the line sel- dom got through. Ed Keefe, Right End, Senior (because) holding down an important position in the line, he played a nice brand of foot- ball throughout the year; keeping men- tally alert on the defense made up for his lack of weight; intercepting passes, he prevented his opponents from scor- ing; being fast and aggressive on his defense, he was able to block men much larger than himself. Ray Giluer, Center, Senior (because) since this was Ins last year of football, he gave active competition to others looking for team recognition: at Moul- ton where he was the outstanding line- man he learned a lot about football: during the last three quarters of the Osky game he was substituted to add to the general scrap. Jack Raney, Quarterback, Junior (because) he started out, a Junior and a Reserve, and developed into a fast charging back- us well as a vicious tackier; lie used all of his time and energy in gaining know- ledge and experience which will make him dangerous on next year’s team. Joe Traul, Right Halfback, Senior (because) oh boy, oh boy—how he could carry that ball, hi that line and be a general disturbance to the other teams: for blocking and punting lie was all there; for helping the other fellow he will long be remembered. Jerky Whalen, Guard, Junior (because) lie was one of the second team men who got into most of the games: he was small but a hair-raising fighter; he was able to step up and fill the vacancy left after Gage's injury; he will be back next year to make the scores look the way they ought to look. John Harkins, Center, Junior (because) as a roving pivot man, as an accurate figurer in snapping the ball back at the exact moment when it was wanted, as a team man full of grit and steady nerve, as a fellow of loyalty and faithfulness in attending practices—he gave the coach one of the least of all his worries. Dan Shea, Left Rnd, Senior (because) he loomed on the left side of Ottumwa’s line as an end whom backfield men feared: he made long runs by the “wrong guy almost an impossibility; he was speedy in getting under punts and sure in tackling; he was one husky, hot and fighting Irishman playing a keen game for O. H. S. Bon Warren, Fullback, Junior (because) playing this season with the team, he proved himself one grand, plunging fullback: backing up the line more than once, he kept the game moving in the right direction; possessing a set of powerful lungs, he used them at the right time to give encouragement to the rest of the fellows.

Basketball Squad It is the men who go out every night to take beatings from the first team fellows who deserve much more credit than it is often their lot to re- ceive. They furnished the opposition for the first team practices. In the fall when one hundred and fifty men turned out for general practice, the coaches found much material from which to choose two squads, twenty in each. The remaining one hundred were instructed to report for advisory group teams. First squad men prac- ticed at four o’clock every evening; second, at five-thirty two nights of every week. This was the coach's plan for building up reserve material. After the necessary eliminating. Van Antwerp drilled in a man to man de- fence from a five man zone position. During the first week of practice, these squads were drilled on funda- mentals. dribbling, passing, pivoting. There were three types of passes to be learned later—over-hand for speed, accuracy and distance; shoulder bounce and the under-hand for short passes. After this, teams were taught plays to be used in delayed offense. Then the first and second teams were ready to engage in practice games, each furnishing opposition for the other. Every year an advisory group basketball tournament is held. The purpose of this is to help the coaches in determining those boys who have a natural ability for the game. It also gives the pupils a chance to ap- pear in official games rather than in the rough and tumble ones staged during gym classes. The advisory group team stand- ings arc Duke. Kittleson. Niccolls, Troeger, Rawlings, Vacha. Kasischke. Rozcnboom, Smith, Hamley, Enoch. Norris. Brady. Crozier, Farrar. Web- bert, Tallman. Geffert. Grieder, Borrusch. Sands, Hoff. Alton, Schick, Davis, li. Miller, C. N. John- son, Otley, Ver Heul. Nye, Newell, Vinton, Beemcr. SEVK.S’tY-NljiE Saylcs Clnrk Erskine Shew Meier Johnson Basketball We continue to Nominate— Carlos Sayles. Student Manager, Junior. (because) being a person who must do much of the dirty work with little credit for it, we feel he should be spoken of: during the entire season he had to administer first aid. keep the uniforms presentable, the towels clean and the icckers inspected. Sam Clark, Guard. Senior (because) we must bow to him as a cool, heady and consistent player; we must ack- nowledge him as a fighter from the first whistle to the last one: we noticed how many times he was given the job of watching a ' best forward ' on the opposing team, and how many times the same best forward did not ac- complish much: we knew Sam as a clean player with only four personal fouls called against him in the semester he played. Bob Erskine. (Captain, ( enter. Senior (because) Bob already has a pretty line of rec- ognition to his credit—three basket- ball letters, two years as an All-State man; he could defend his goal and eye the basket at one and the same time; he was singled out by ell the opposing teams as a marked man and a mighty- one: he played with the team and not for himself alone; he ends one of the greatest athletic careers we have known in 0. H. S. history. Dan Shea. Guard. Senior (because) we did not finish saying all we could have said in his football nomination: we must remind you of his ability to sink long shots which more than once saved us a sad story , we noticed that opponents feared his dead eye for baskets, and again, his Irish spirit. Billy Meier. Forward, Junior (because) the Little Six records show him as second in the total number of points scored by conference players; the vari- ous critics placed him on the first teams of the district and sectional tournaments; his steady head in cru- cial last minutes made him one to be reckoned with; his team work and well- timed plays were invaluable. Lawrence Johnson, Forward, Junior (because) Johnny was one of the fastest and most brilliant players on the team; he was alarming under the basket be- cause he rarely missed a set up or a tip-in shot; he was a fellow who knew what to do with the ball when he got it. and what kind of floor work to put across at the right time. nciiTY 1 Moore Warren Keefe Sisk Fisk Raney Baslietball For Athletic Recognition— Howard Moore. Guard, Senior (because) a whirling, twirling dervish of speed and power, he became ever dependable on the defense and always threatening on the offense; a ‘Tubby” who w ill be sadly missed when next year comes along; a fighter in scrappy games, but a clean one; a first year man deserving to rank with the veterans. Bob Warren. Center, Junior (because) being called upon to fill the place left vacant by Erskine at mid-semesters, he continued to hold down one of the hardest positions on the team; having the great asset of an ability to send in one-hand, push-up shots, he knew how to use it; recognizing work when he saw it—he worked. Ed Keefe, Forward, Senior (because) here was one man who. though he did not appear in all the games, was in the right place when the coach wanted him and called upon him; here was a fellow who did his best shooting from the side of the court and gained points thereby; here was one more of many who—Fought. Max Sisk. Forward, Senior (because) as a substitute he stepped in to con- tinue with games where every point was necessary; as a player he was ac- curate and dependable; as a man of less experience in conference games than many of the others, he proved himself to be extremely valuable. Max Fisk, Guard. Senior (because) he was a real guard; he. being a victim of the eight semester rule, was unable to prove himself as he would other- wise have done; he featured in the defensive play staged from the guard position. Jack Raney. Guard. Junior (because) Jack was all over the floor, was fight- ing w ith the best of them and was w ill- ing to pass balls wherever there seemed to be possibilities for basket shooting; he combined plenty of fight and much jumping ability ; he has still a year to continue his development into one powerful threat. KH.IITV-ONK Trail! Yell Leaders Henson Of the students trying out last fall for the positions of cheer leaders, four were selected: Gordon Traul, Benny Benson. Mary Gilbert, and Phil Davies. Prom the time of their selection, their duties began, both in pep chapels and at the games. Prom then on came their difficulties in arousing the crowds to a high pitch of enthusiasm or in subduing the same crowds if they appeared noisily doubt- ful over decisions of the referee. There was, perhaps, one game where the students needed no encour- agement from these yell leaders the Faculty upheaval with the Oska- loosa mentors, our men winning by a score of 19 to 17. There they were: Page. “Standing Pat . Tiedc, with his misplaced sense of direction; Van Antwerp and Newell with their team work; Webert. with his black eye There they were.

Because of the ability of these boys to arouse much enthusiasm they have been asked to play at pep chapels here and for several near-by schools. They have appeared at ban- quets to furnish music (and to be fed) —the basketball banquet, the Junior Chamber of Commerce and at many meetings where they performed for ' thanks The financing of this or- ganization and the furnishing of music was covered by a Pep Orchestra braw l given by themselves for them- selves and for anybody else with the necessary entrance requirements . This last-mentioned entertain- ment was on April 26th a Saturday which marked one of the most suc- cessful high school dances of the year. Leach and his original Hot Points spent many weary hours making the hall more festive with their elaborate decorations. The orchestra is especially favor- ed w ith soloists, large and small ones. Eddie Gibbons, the big noise of the gang, has gained much applause through his interpretations of Helen Kane. Ray Leach is also among those present w hen it comes to solo w?ork; and Bun Harper who has been known to humor his listeners with some touching vocal selections. kldltV-tllRKR Row I -Mooney, Clawson, Graham.

BIGIITY-FOVR Meier Greenmail Dunning Keefe Tennis Tennis as a sport has not been really considered as a major high school activity. The larger college and universities have regular schedule such as they have in all the other major sports. However, there seemed to be so many queries about having a team in our school that Mr. Wing decided to give it a trial. He arranged a tournament in which any boy so desiring could com- pete. The four winners of this tourna- ment were to comprise the team. A match with Albia to be played there was discussed, hour singles and two doubles were played. Albia won with a score of four to two. Ed Keefe being the only one of our men to win in the singles. Later a return meet was staged on the Ottumwa Country Club courts. This time John Dunning won the singles while Bud Greenman and Bill Meier were ahead in the doubles. The hoys in the order appearing in the picture arc Billy Meier. Bud Greenman. yjohn Dunning, and Ed Keefe. During the latter part of August two tournaments in which high school boys participated were staged at the Country Club. Howard Frazer, dis- playing an excellent brand of tennis came out the champion in the Junior tournament. His first opponent, Elmer Daniels, he beat with a match score of 8 6. 4-6. 6 2. In the semi- finals he won both sets from Frank Melcher, 6 2. 6-3. The finals be- tween Howard and his opponent, Boh Warren, proved to be the most ex- hausting that either of them had ex- perienced. The first set was Frazers 6 2: the second. Warrens. 6 3; the last. Frazer s. 10 8. In the Senior tournament the two men reaching the finals were Ben Ellsworth and our Coach. Jimmie Van Antwerp. Van Antwerp w'on the first set. 6-2; the second went to Ellsworth. 7-5. In the finals. ’'Coach' came out on top with a 6 4 score. klc.iiYv-PivR Short Burnt- Ward Ehrmann Freeman Edmundson I). Shearer Freeman (Toilett Hill Fullmer KUmundson, C. Tumbling Two years ago Trites sent forth an announcement requesting that all boys interested in ‘tumbling ’ report in his office, and there responded forthwith a motely crew. Boys from three feet six in height to those six feet three: from widths startlingly thick to widths alarmingly narrow. Trites, being a coach full of wisdom and knowledge, herded these stamped- ing youths to a small room where he began their initiation into the mas- teries and intricacies of tumbling. I ie had them front roll and back roll, fall and get up for all of an hour. After the second night of this, most of the oddly proportioned and tepidly interested had decided that they were not built for tumbling any- way. From then on. the group was small enough so that their work could be made really valuable. Eventually Trites had drilled this group in hand stands, Hips, kip- ups and turns with surprisingly few tragedies considering where and how those boys occasionally managed to fall. Now their skill is such that they perform at pep chapels, basketball games and stunt exhibitions. These exhibitions which the boys have staged have been many, and of natures extremely varied. There was the V. W. C. A. Circus: the Minstrel given for the benefit of the band: the entertainment for the children at the Agassiz School But all of this prowess has been made possible only through constant practice; it takes four after-school periods of every week to make tumblers who can tumble in the right direction at the right time. Recognizing the value of this training, the Board of Education this year furnished much new material. kii;iitv-six Physical Education Achievement Tests for Boys 1. 100 yards, one lap. 2. Chin pull up. 2. Stand broad jump. 4 440 yards, four laps. 5. Sit up. 6. Stand hop. step, jump. 7. Indoor baseball p'tch for ac- curacy. 8 Rush up. 0. Running high jump. 10. Leg raise from back. The above test was introduced last year by Mr. Trites, head of the Physical education Department, in order to arouse a keener interest in such work, and to ascertain the physi- cal status of each hoy in the school. Classes are arranged on the basis of the indicated abilities. The four things shown by this test arc the muscular development, the native ability, the coordination and the en- durance of those examined. By a graduated scale of points it is possible to rank the lx ys so that each Spring letters of recognition may be awarded to the ten highest. One other test used in the gym- nasium work here is that devised by David K. Brace of the University of Texas. This is given every two years to determine one's motor ability and physical strength. Physical Education for girls as well as for boys is required by state law which states that some form of physical training must be pursued throughout one's entire course in high school. Accordingly, the local school offers a choice of sw imming or gymnasium work to every student. Miss Sands and Miss Jontry are in charge of this work for the girls. The gymnasium classes include instruction in clogging, tap dancing, folk dances, formal drill work and calisthenics. By dividing all classes into two groups, keen competition is made possible: the names chosen by the girls for these class teams are. in themselves, expressive—the Hot Sox and Demons: the Cats and the Dogs. What startling and boisterous fighting there must be if there is any- thing in names. Since the girls have no system of recognition similar to that used for the boys, we arc quoting only the rankings for the latter; these records arc those gained in the achievement tests already mentioned. The fol- lowing list will give a comparative record of the boys ranking among the fourteen highest. Melburn Mill, with the usual total of 950 points, has es- tablished a very exceptional record which will, no doubt, stand for some- time before any one else will be able to surpass it.

This year the girls have been successful financial- ly by selling candy at the football and basketball games. They have shown their heartless natures in initiations where the cringing culprits were treat- ed to overnight hikes or honored with entire days of bliss with the veteran members. Then they have had their prandial interests. For the second time in the O’ club history, an Alumnae Banquet was sponsored, a get-together which now' is an es- tablished annual factor in the year s program. The benefits of O’ Club membership?

To these twenty-one students has been given the privilege of lifting the torch, of guarding its flame. While in no way belittling the honor thus bestowed, may we regard the group from a slightly different angle? May wc pause to consider the obligations incurred by each individual, obliga- tions serious in their purport ? ever exalting these virtues is the signi- ficant duty of every Torch Club mem- ber. not only for the depth of satis- faction thereby gained for themselves, but for the encouragement given to others who are perhaps, lighting their candles from these ever-burning torch- es. I our cardinal principles must these people make a vital part of their relationships with others. Scholar- ship—’ the power of the mind to dispel ignorance through scientific investiga- tion of the truth. Leadership— the power of personality that blazes the trail for man's upward climb. Character—which sets the seal of righteousness upon every endeavor. Service— the beginning and end of education, the altar of altruism from which Cod's blessings to man have been vouchsafed.

Just as this is true, so is the audience directly re- sponsible for the success of a play, speech, or musical event. Our athle- tic teams rank favorably with the others in the state. Our dramatic- productions are far superior, our build- ing is the largest and the finest, but we have probably the worst audience. ‘Ottumwa High School—the best in the state . If we expect to live up to that motto, we must be first in all things, and at the very top of the list of desirable acquisitions stands polite attention on the part of the audience. The two words ‘school’ and ‘spirit' when combined contain worlds of meaning. They include the written and unwritten laws of our School. The honor roll, football and basketball games, debates, lyceum courses and other things too numer- ous to mention, arc included in our activities in which every high school pupil should be interested. A high scholastic standing should be the ambition and the goal of every person who enters high school. The freshmen nearly always head the list with the largest number of honor roll students. When they become sopho- mores. juniors and seniors, the list decreases in size. Why docs it? Well, people get interested in things other than studies. A few exceptional students maintain a high scholastic standing throughout their four years. This year let's make Ottumwa High School shine with scholastic honors as well as with Athletic success. Going to the game full of pep and enthusiasm, with your blood ting- ling in your veins, is school spirit, and this helps the team to know that some one is backing them and wanting them to win. Our yell leaders are at the games for the purpose of helping us give our yells in the best manner possible. They are good. We know that they are good so let us show our appreciation of them by following their every motion. If they try to keep us from mobbing a referee because we think he is for the opponents, do not disregard their appeal. We might be wrong. It is our place to be go xl sports about it. Being a good sport is about the most, valuable asset a per- son can have, so let us get together and cultivate it. Some students who have won recognition give the following advice: 1. Get acquainted with the other members of your class and school; 2. Go out for athletics; 3. Report for tryouts for our Dramatic Club and other activities of a similar nature; 4. Join the various school clubs and show that you are interested in them; 5. Attend classes regularly and try diligently to get your lessons; 6. Maintain a good behavior in school and outside of it; 7. Obey our rules. These paragraphs from Argus News editorials we quote to give you the aims of our school paper as they have been presented throughout the year; To help make O. H. S. the best; To support all school activities; To encourage scholastic endeavor; To promote journalistic training.

Senior Dramatic Club Plays as given by the Dramatic Club are a culmination of many long hours, of study, then again hours of rehearsal and still more hours. The first requisite demanded is a strictly business-like attitude during all the period of training so that no valuable minutes will lie lost. The understud- ies are assigned seats and given a three-fold responsibility—to learn the lines, the action, the stage technique In case of absences in the first cast they are present to substitute. There are dates to be remembered, important ones, when lines must be memorized and the assigned duties completed. Miss Smith emphasizes always the need for living one’s part. She encourages original ideas or intona- tion which serve to accentuate the personality in the play, and to place in the background the actor himself. Many of us fail to realize the hours that arc spent in planning a single setting or lighting effect. We take such work for granted. How- ever. much responsibility rests upon the production staffs whose business it is to execute these. These people often do not receive the applause deserved because their work, of neces- sity. must be done unobtrusively. The Senior Dramatic Club— working together toward a common goal!

There came Diane. undulled by the Paris slums, young, beautiful, perfect in loveliness.

ONK lll'NURKII IWKNtY-l MRI.I-. To Have or Not to Have Long ago. I, as secretary, ceased to record the arguments presented during the heated and often ve- hement meetings of our Student Council. They were arguments furiously about this one question— Are these high school or- ganizations of ours of any value to us as students1'' revolving It had all started because some- body had discovered an article on over-organization, an account which stated that the sundry clubs and so- cieties so rife throughout the average high school were lowering the scholas- tic standings and threatening the health of their various members. Whereupon, our Council took up the discussion which I tried valiantly but vainly to transcribe. Granted that organizations be profitless, they should of course, be abolished—so stated our Council. But was there no champion of their cause1 On the night of which I would speak, the Council members were gath- ered in the club room and. quite exhausted by futile arguing, were sitting silent when there came a knock, puissant and peremp- tory. On answering it and throwing open the door, they beheld a startling figure in shining armor who stepped into the r x m and addressed them in this w ise. I. announced the apparition. I am King Arthur.” Then as several showed active evidence of doubting their own sanity, he continued. Really I am. you see. however, I can offer you no proof, so you must take me on trust. I am here because of an interest in your discussions of organizations. Person- ally. I believe in them, but of course, that is nothing to you. However, seeing that you could not settle the matter without aid. I have secured permission to help you. I have brought with me those whose opinions you may surely trust first, however, I must be assured that you will refrain from all appearances of levity, will listen carefully and will consider deeply. King Arthur w'as reassured by the dazed students who in passive ex- haustion after long arguments were reads to agree to anything which might solve the difficulty. Taking their silence as con- sent. the King struck thrice against the door with his lifted spear. Pausing with the spear tip still against the door. King Arthur turned again to the expectant group. I must warn you that some startling thing may happen, for no one can predict what these from the other side will do or how they will appear. As much as possible, hold back any demonstrations of fear or disbelief in the reality of those who will come. Then, throwing open the door, he shouted. Approach, ye who stand with- out.

TIndian Club As if in answer to the Kings summons, there stepped into the room a gentleman who at his first appear- ance won them by his magnetic per- sonality. Richard Mansfield as Ham- let. Pacing back and forth across the room, he exclaimed with most dramatic intonations. To be or not to be—that is the question. Whether or not it is possible for the Thalian Club to continue further without a constitution. It is indeed a clever organization that can survive after losing the laws and rules by which it is governed; but this one did. until further regulations could be outlined and approved. They produced a play, for all they had no constitui ion Six Who Pass While The Lentils Boil. To accomplish such with laws and by-laws lacking, what could the group not manage with a worthy constitution? This is, indeed, a group to foster the discovery and to cultivate the pos- session of any dramatic talent among Freshmen students. Need 1 speak further of its worthiness? Need I remind you of their other presenta- tions of Sauce for the Goslings or of A Pair of Lunatics ? The Council members gasped as Mansfield stood a moment uncertain- ly. then abruptly left the room.

Latin Club King Arthur saw in this no un- usual portent, however, for he merely announced, “Virgil I see approaching from yon lower regions.” A tall man. unmistakably a Roman, with long waving hair, strode into the room. The I-atin language, ye friends of mine, is one of the most beautiful in the world. For Italian. French and Spanish it forms a solid basis. The life of ancient Rome has become a classic pattern for modern customs To-day's courts of justice we find modeled after the judicial bodies of the Romans Is it not reasonable to maintain that every student should know something of these facts? As I comprehend the situation, these are a few of the subjects pursued by this Latin Club. Their programs for the year have pleased me greatly. Their study of myths; their reports of Valentine's Day, its origin and significance; their comparisons of worthy American statesmen with our Roman men of like calibre. I was. naturally, most concerned with their celebration of my birthday, a bi-millenium which this Latin Club recognized by a special program in my honor.” OFFICERS Consuls—Bii.i.v Holcomb, Lu Ellen Jordan Praetor—C athhr i n k B r e n- NEMAN Quaestor—Elsie Nye Censor—J ea n Lowenherg Secretarius—Kathleen Pool OFFICERS Aediles— Ba xter Sm ith, Gwendolyn Tiede, Gar- ner McNett, Robert Wellstead, Helen Hod- son.

French Club With a swish of belaced petti- coats and a toss of her arrogant head, Marie Antoinette, impulsive and haughty monarch, sallied in. The girls of the Council gasped over the elaborateness of her dress and smiled at the arrangement of her curls. “The French Club? Oh yes! To appreciate my language, one must surely know of my country. And so this group is hearing of France, beauti- ful. industrious country that it is. These club members learn of its his- tory. interesting and sufficiently harm- less (unless one is living it). During their initiation banquet they toured the streets of Paris.

Mr. Prewitt, Again King Arthur's spear was struck heavily against the floor, and again the Council members sat in wonder- waiting. This time Abra- ham Lincoln stood silhouetted in the doorway, (his hands clasped beneath a long coat and his eyes fixed pen- sively upon the ground. “I'm in the same fix as the little lx y who took his watch apart and found so many pieces he couldn't get them together again. You sec. I don't know where to begin. They tell me you arc in doubt about these Hi-Y boys, this group whose purpose is to maintain and create throughout the school highest ideals of Christian citizenship. I find they have accomplished many things this year. They have, first of all clubs, abolished foolish and often painful ceremonies of initiation. At Christmas time they sponsored a Big Brother party for some thirty other smaller boys for whom Christ- mas, otherwise, would have been pretty dull. In my time, boys learned from other boys, and so they do to-day. Twelve of these Hi-Y fellows were sent to confer with others at a group gathering in Marshalltown. This is. I understand, an annual event, a helpful one. The speaker smiled gently and with no other sign of farewell turned away, just as a most startling com- motion was heard in the corridors.

As he (lung open the door, he was pushed aside by the powerful arm of Theodore Roosevelt. “Teddy, wearing a shab- by suit of khaki evidently a relic of exploring days, had the well-known smile, and the eyes behind his round glasses were twinkling kindly. Funny thing, but I was just observing a truly marvelous animal. It somewhat resembled an ostrich except that it had a trunk like an elephant: and it was so horribly noisy. Its speed was astounding—but there, you wouldn’t be interested. You want to hear what I have to say about this club business. Well, this Junior Hi-Y is a mighty line thing. One of the best clubs in the school. Although the boys are young, they do a great deal toward aiding charities and making life more pleasant for the unfortunate. All members are the better for having belonged. Boys will have that gang spirit, you know—there is little use in trying to stop it. And here is a gang that really docs something and learns from their speakers and their exchanging of ideas. The famous smile (lashed out again. I hope that I have helped you. I haven’t made any speeches for several years and I am a little rusty.

Home Economics May I now, my Council mem- bers. bring you a man who has won the hearts of many? 'Monsieur Julian, approchez - vous. approaehez - vous. rr.on ami ,je vous attend.” A wiry little gentleman came into the room, bowed low and in halt- ing English began to speak. body as do no other things. And do we not say. a healthy body presup- poses a healthy mind, yes'! In my country we must be practi- cal, we must save the money. In America you do not always do that way. you waste so much, so much. It is this scandalous expenditure which these girls are taught to avoid. My friends, it is with so much pleasure that I would recommend to you this Club of Economics for the Home. In my judgement, it is one of the societies the most important. The homes well cared for. the food correctly prepared provide for the An l the cakes they make—the cakes. I could do but little better.

Normal Training Now King Arthur opened the door to admit Charles Elliott. scholar- ly and benign educator. “This Normal Training Club is an organization of girls who are study- ing to be teachers. Allow me to outline briefly its accomplishments for the past year. In September there w as a picnic honoring its new members. In October the club had as its speakers Dr. Anna Cordts of Cedar Falls and Miss Cecilia Bell. Later came a Mother-Daughter banquet w ith dem- onstration lessons given to various grade school children. During the Spring there was a reception for rural teacher's of the vicinity. Were there no trained teachers, our schools would be sorry affairs. Had these students no opportunities for obtaining experienced advice from speakers and for pursuing informally problems of pedagogy through their club meetings, they would lx much less capable young teachers. I ap- prove heartily of this group. The Council then turned expect- ant faces toward the King w ho seem- ed a bit uneasy. Small wonder! One is never sure whether or not these art- istic souls will be about when needed.

Art Club But in answer to the three re- sonant knocks of the King, again the door swung open and there was re- vealed a dreamy-eyed, long-haired figure clad in a flowing robe. This was the great Raphael! You doubt the worth of the Art Club? ’ he queried. This is a very important organization for it promotes interest in art without which your lives would be very dull and different. Modem advertising is dependent on pictures and sketches The very houses in which you live could not have been built without the architects' plans which, when analyzed, are naught, but drawings. But for art. there would be no radio, no telephone, no automobile, because the first models of these were made with pen and ink. In your own school, what would be the Dramatic Club plays without art ? No scenery, no ad- vertising, no costuming. There is, of course, the cultural value. He smiled gently. I hope I have told you enough so that you will appreciate the merits of this group. The Council seemed prone to question this gentle man. but he turn- ed only long enough to smile again and wave to them.

He spoke in an oratorical and convincing manner of this Forensic Club, perhaps the most helpful of clubs from the standpoint of material value. The power of speaking well and clearly conveying ideas is an asset, indeed almost a requirement of the successful business man. A great amount of training in this line is given to these club members. if possible, will best his opponent. This skill is only acquired after much practice and careful training These are two of the advantages gained by being a member of the Forensic Club, as, at almost every practice, debates are staged. What would a diplomat or one in high political position be without the qualities necessary for a good debater, poise and voice control, forceful presentation of thought, and most important, the realization of the relation of ideas.” Many professions outside of com- mercial activities are dependent on debate. It is the foundation of law and of political positions. A success- ful lawyer must be quick of thought and ready with logical argument that. Hurrying away as though he were suddenly reminded of mighty and por- tentious affairs of state, he almost ran against a gentle woman, her hair part- ed smoothly and crowned with a nurse's cap.

The meetings have, I am told, been divided into interest groups. The girls selected various topics about which they wished further knowledge and were placed under a leader who conducted the study along the desired lines. In this manner individual pre- ferences could be considered. Every year delegates from this group are sent to Okoboji for a High School Girl Reserve conference. Here they cooperate in devising, with the suggestions of others, plans to meet the needs of their own home clubs which will enable them to grow spirit- ually and to develop character. The only membership require- ment is a desire to help in the work done by the Hi-Tri girls, in charitable activities and in personality develop- ment. September- Backward Party. October— H ar vest.

Nature Club lirst the Council members were attracted by the sight of a gorgeously vivid white flower splashed profusely with orange markings. Then they saw the man who was carrying it. saw and recognized Luther Burbank, with hands besmeared with pollen. Isn't this a rare flower combina- tion—tiger-lily and magnolia blos- som? I could speak of it at length but I must on to this Nature Club of yours. Through the medium of club activities the members arc learning the mast fascinating secrets of nature. This year one of their valuable projects was the winter identification of trees. Which re- minds me of the most interesting— oh. I forgot for a moment my chief reason for being here- not only do these members learn through actual contact with the nature but through the speeches and information given to them from other sources. My last speaker , smiled King Arthur— And I must be on my way though I fain would pause to hear of your reactions, Council members. In truth. I can but hope that we have helped you. Helped us! reiterated all of us. But King Arthur had clanked out of hearing and wc were left to choose another topic for Student Council argument.
