ARGUS Nineteen In Memoriam To Leland Austin As when a listener, quiet and alone, Sits in a Chapel, drenched in crimson glow. And feels it, half-rent by the organ’s flow. Quiver and rock from arch to deep sunk stone. Will find his heart, responding to that tone, Until those great pulsations, first to slow, Mount to the grand crescendo—from below. His being, swept to stars above his own, Is rushed on crashing rythms to the sun, Then suddenly---a silence. All is done. So were our hearts stirred to the very core By his great self that seemed our walls to fill With a soul’s richness that is echoing still, Where master melody is heard no more. To Morris Reed So quietly he came, so swiftly leaving. We hardly knew him when he journeyed on. But there’s a place left empty by his passing No one can fill but he—and he is gone.

Ye Cramblit, Lowenberg, and McLeod arc the chosen ones who arc instructed to guide your brethern.” 3. And the prophets who spoke unto them were twain. Searles and Douma, they were so called. Chapter II 1. And with the blessings of our Lord they thereby passed into their second state of understanding. 2. The road being broad that leadeth to destruction, the tribe wand- ering from the guiding light stumbles in to the thicket, otherwise christened the Sophomore Party. 3. However, when they beggeth forgiveness from the upper tribes they were forgiven and restored to the straight and narrow once again. 4. Time passeth quickly and, since by the grace of the Lord the upper tribe had been once removed, thus the tribe of 32 passed to a higher state. Chapter 111 1. With the guidance of a prophet from a neighboring tribe called Stran- ahan, the wanders buildeth a new pit which they falleth into and they call- eth it the Junior Brawl. 2. And though their prophet came unto them and spake to them of their mistake they repenteth not and in- dulged in another of the worldly sins which they callcth the Junior Mid Y ear. Chapter IV 1. And so it came to pass that a new prophet came unto the tribe, and was called GefTert. 2. And so as the years rollcth by. the day came when the wandering tribe of '32 was delivered from their wanderings on the day of June 1932 A. D. The tribe buildeth no build- ings nor did they erect any cities but no harm came of this since it was for- dained that they should do neither. And so it has been that we have watch- ed these children of their parents as a tribe and now it is as it should be for we are going to take them one by one and see if the child of the house of Dunning resemble the house of Lowen- berg. EXODUS The Book of Generations Coughlin 10. 32. And into our midst camcth a torrent who kick- eth and bite and it is said that they were going to chain and beat him but instead the tribe took pity on him and gaveth to him a ball of the foot which he might kickcth and bite as he so desired. Genochio 19. 32. And a second time into our midst cameth a child of ARGUS Forty-one the wind but this time it was a soft breeze and to this one the Prophet Smith handeth a book and sayeth, Ye shall take this and go unto your audience and readeth to them and it shall so delight them that they will cry for more. Ferguson iq, 32. The Wand- erers were growing restless for a voice had saideth unto them that a guiding light would shine upon them but as yet it had not shone. Then as the voice promised a beautiful light come down and it was called Delores, and the tribe was content but to look and be amazed for its beauty was un- comparable. Dooley iq. 32. Behold for again the Lord blesseth the tribe and into their midst came a tall lad with hair that shone like the sun and when he opened his mouth music came forth. The tribe named him a one of their own and called him Fouts, and he bringeth much glory unto the tribe . under the guiding hand of the Prophet Aas. Celania iq, 32. Then to the joy of the prophets another whirlwind entered the tribe but when he had established himself and they called him Charles, their joy became un- founded for he lead the tribe into turmoil. Merringer iq, 32. Happiness was disappearing in the tribe when behold the prophets took pity on them and sent among them a lad with gilted fingers who bringest with him an in- strument which they called a piano and with his fingers he tickled the piano and he lived amongst them and they called him Jack. Dunning iq, 32 The tribe were suddenly led astray like many sheep without a shepherdess then the proph- ets delivered a leader unto them and she lead them and they were thank- ful. They called the shepherdess Virginia. Gibbons iq, 32. Versatility was a virtue that the tribe lackcth and as a gift the prophets gave unto them a lad of slight proportions but with a brain beyond all comparison. They welcomed him into the tribe and called him Eddie. Kitterman iq. 32. The tribe lacketh a scr be to write their legends and fables, so the prophets being satisfied with the behaving of the tribe sent a scribe amongst them and the tribe was then satisfied and thanked the prophets and went on their w'ay. Finis iq. 32. And so it came to pass that the sun set and the wand- erings of the tribe were over. Each member then w'ith the blessing of the prophet Douma separated and went into the world and later perhaps one shall read more of their wanderings. The benedictions of the Prophet Douma be upon you all. Selah! Forty-two ARGUS Lawson Darbyshirc Anderson Fullmer Junior Class Officers Max Lawson—President.

So now, our knights, when bookes and studies pall M ust turn to track, or foote and basket ball. Van Antwerp Tiede Newell Coaches J. F. Van Antwerp—Head Coach. The master mind of Ottumwa Athletics is a name well suited for Van. He has done more to raise Ottumwa, in the estimation of other large schools, than any coach of former years. For the past year Coach has been concentrating on the future and we feel that he will be rewarded with championship teams. In foot- ball Van has a much used trick bag and in basketball he has his famous half time orations. E. W. Tiede—Business Manager of Athletics. The school can well be proud of the present athletic department. Gifted with the best coaches in Iowa, the best facilities of any other school in the state, and the best business manager. Mr. Tiede has been with the Ottumwa High School for many years. He has always done everything in his power to better the athletic department of the school. He furnishes the teams with the best transportation, food, and hotels available. No school in the state has the reputation of having better care than the Ottumwa athletes. Don Newell—Assistant Coach. Newell is the fellow who builds the stars and fighters of future bulldog teams and teaches the scrubs the fundamentals of football and basketball. He is an expert in track, being a star in his college years. Don took complete charge of the State Championship team this year in cross country. Although little is heard of the work which the assistant coach does he is the main cog in producing powerful teams. The boys and Coach Van Antwerp are all appreciative’of his help. ARGUS Fifty-seven Captain Ralph Springer; Half Back. An all Little Six half back, Captain Springer was one of the best in the state this year. Although he played under a great handicap all year due to a broken nose received in the first game with Davenport, he never once let this hinder him in any way. He was always plaving the game hard, clean and square. He was a great captain and was highly admir- ed by his teamatcs, coaches and fans. Clement Kennedy; Halfback Although only a Sophomore “Hoot put all lie had into the game and proved a worthy man of the backfield. He was especially effective on the spin- ner play . We have two more years of Kennedy’s hard fight and plunge with the Bulldogs. Lawrence Peppers; 12nd. “Pep, playing his first year of football, developed rapidly ere the season closed. He was a hard blocker and a vicious tackier. Next season Peppers will add his strength to what we hope will be a great line. He has been selected as Cap- tain for next years’ team. Harold Moon; Quarterback. Playing in more than half of the games, Dean” showed what speed really meant. His passes, bullet-like and straight, made him more that a valuable man. He was one of the best “tripple threat men on the squad. He will be missed next year. Bon Eddy; Left Guard. Although this was Eddy's first year in football, he play- ed like a veteran after the first game or two. He is gifted with fighting ability, size, and extreme strength, all which make him feared by all his opponents. Bob has two more years of competition and much js expected of him. Bon McLeod; Halfback. With three years of football experience, one with Washing- ton High of Cedar Rapids, Bob was a great addition to the team, possessing the abil- ity to pass, punt, and run with the ball. He was one .of the best punters in the con- ference, averaging over forty yards. Jack Litton;Center. Another inexperienced man, but the bulwark of the team. His weight made him nigh impossible for opposing line- men to move. Jack out-play- ed and out-fought his oppon- ents like a veteran. A great deal is expected of him in the future, especially in his de- fensive work. Fifty-eight ARGUS Chuck Celama; Fullback. Ranking among the best defensive fullbacks in the state, Charlie did all that was ex- pected of the man chosen to fill the shoes of Captain War- ren from the previous season. Not only was he a valuable defensive player but also a great blocker on the offensive. For this reason he was moved up to the line the latter part of the season. Bill Baily; Tackle. Bill will be remembered as the man who saved the Mt. Pleasant game by catching Bennett from behind in the last minute of play, when the Panther captain had a clear field ahead of him. Bill was big and fast but due to lack of experience he was forced to take turns with the other three tackles. Craig Mill; End. Not being a regular, Hill was inserted in a number of games as a last resort for vic- tory. Many long gains were made due to Hill’s ability to catch passes. He was also speedy in getting down under punts and stopping runs. Tommy Coughlin; Guard. Playing his last season of high school football, Tommy was an All-Little Six guard. His size was no handicap, for he out-played, out-fought, and out-talked every one of his opponents, regardless of their size. Coughlin has put a brilliant record behind him and his spirit will be missed next year. Clarence Patton; End. Playing under the handicap of injuries during most of the season, Patton was forced to sit on the side lines a great deal of the time. Opponents who did play against Patton found him to be a hard man to stop when breaking through interferences. II i s tackling was deadly and sure. He will be sorely missed next year. Ralph O’Dkll; Tackle. O’Dell, playing his first year of football, scrapped like a veteran for nearly the whole season. His weight and ex- perience should make him a feared man for next year. O’Dell has three more years of football. Jim Strebby; Tackle and End. Although Jim did not play at one position all season he saw a great deal of service. Jim had great ability for break- ing into the back fields of op- posing teams as well as taking out interference on end runs. Next year Ottumwa foes will again have to reckon with Jim.

Football Squad Coach Jimmie Van Antwerp had only six lettermen around which he was to build a team that carried on one of the hardest schedules the Ottumwa High School has ever had. Out of these six lettermen there were only three w ho had Clayed as regulars the year before; Captain Ralph Springer, hall back; Bob Mc- eod, quarterback, w ho came here from Cedar Rapids w here he had played w ith Washington High s Tigers; and Tommy Coughlin, guard. Breaks which might have daunted more experienced teams befell the bulldogs w hen they took the field against the state championship aggregation of Davenport High, on September 17. Out-scored in the first half, the Ottumwans came back in the last half to hold Davenport scoreless while Springer fought his way goal ward for Ottumwa’s touchdown. On the following Friday night. Ottumwa tied Washington o—o on the latters field. Washington was considered by critics to be the pre-season favorite to w in the Conference Title, but the Bulldogs outfought Washington, failing to score. Again Ottumwa set out on the war path, this time traveling to Muscatine to defeat the Little Muskies 13—7 under their own arc lights. The Bulldogs were lead by the flashy spirits of Springer and the passes of Moon. Mt Pleasant came here next to settle a little argument as to who was the leader in the Conference, but this quarrel went unsettled because of a o—o tie. Patton’s playing was outstand- ing in this game and climaxed when he ran down Bennett to spoil a sure Mt. Pleas- ant touchdown. The last Little Six game, Burlington, was shrouded by the old jinx which seemed to hang over Ottumwa this year, 6—6. In closing the season Ottumwa defeated Albia 7—o by a forward pass from McLeod to Hill. This was a battle of passes in which over fifty percent of the plays called for the air guns. The annual Thanksgiving Day festivities were clos- ed by a disastrous defeat at the hands of our ancient foes at Osky. The score was 37—0. Sixty ARGUS How I Bcrtrochc. Lyman.

Basketball Squad Little Six Conference Race In the first conference game of the season, the fighting Bulldogs heat Fairfield 23—22. This game was marked by the usual uncertainty, and although there were some ragged plays, it was a toss up all the way through. In the next game the Bulldogs went to Muscatine to play a team that had not been beaten in two years in Little Six competition. Ottumwa held the Little Muskies down to 13 points to q. The Mt. Pleasant game on Ottumwa's floor was another defensive battle with the superior w ork of the Bulldog's guards and center determining, to a large extent, the outcome. Ottumwa 11. Mt. Pleasant q. In the Burlington game at Burlington. Reeves, feeling sorry for the Greyhounds, dropped the ball into the opponent's basket. The score was iq—14, in favor of Burlington. On their home floor the Bull-dogs whipped Washington by a score of 27—24. Shepp was high point man with 16 points. Phis was the last game for three reg- ulars -Moon, Reeves and Frazer, all being victims of the eight semester ruling. The first game of the second semester in the conference was a setback for the newly organized Bulldogs. They went to Fairfield and although playing excellent basketball, they could not overcome the lead of 14—5 that Fairfield had obtained in the first half and lost 24 to 21. Muscatine, on the Bulldog’s own floor and without Barko. lost a mediocre game of 20—13. Mt. Pleasant took the count of a Bulldog team that was not up to standing and the result was Mt. Pleasant 24. Ottumwa 13. In the Burlington game, however, the Bulldogs came back w ith a bang and nosed out the Greyhounds, 30—28. The final game of the conference race was with Washington, and the Bulldogs, with the typical fighting spirit swamped them to the tunc of 34—21, thus leaving themselves on the top of the heap, tied with Mt. Pleasant and Fairfield for the conference champions. ARGUS Sixty-onc Basketball Dick Trautwein—Guard. Although not on any honor teams, Dick was only a sophomore and has two full years left in which to prove his worth as a basketcer. Dick was regarded as a very consistent player on a large floor and wasn't far from that on a small floor. Long shots were Trautwcin's specialty and many games were sent into overtime periods or won by these shots. J oe Bertroci ie—Forward. Although playing his first year of basketball for the red and white. Joe de- veloped into one of the coaches most valuable men. He could always be depended on to fight to the last gun. and above all. stay with his men He was a whirling, twirling, hard playing, forward who was not only liked by his coaches but by his teammates and schoolmates. Joe will be missed next year. Harold Moon—Forward. Probably the biggest loss at the end of the first semester. Harold proved his ability as a basketeer. His bullet-like passes were deadly in aim and his snappy pivot and dribble-in shots were unrivaled by his opponents. Moon's “pep and enthusiasm was missed but was given to many who heard him as a Sports Announcer over the air. Max Shepp—Center. Playing his first and last season for O. H. S., Max was an outstanding center in the Little Six Conference being runner-up for individual scoring honors, and was named on the second All-Little Six Honor Team. His defensive playing was outstanding and his work under the baskets was remarkable. Shepp's ability to make free throws aided in winning many games. He was captain during the second semester and was selected on the all-district team. Melvin Reeves—Forward. The old jinx, eight semester rule, again caught up with O. H. S. this year taking the only three veterans, of whom Mel was one. While playing only half of the season, Reeves was Captain and the flash of the team. His push shot was one of Ottumwa’s scoring threats early in the season and his defensive work could be counted on. Sixty-two ARGUS Basketball Bernard Black—Forward. Another member of the honor team, second All-Little Six and the All-Sec- tional, Black earned these honors and more too. His nimbleness and speed were noticeable above each of his opponents, whom he out-witted and out-played at every turn. Misfortune overtook him in the district meet, where he suffered a sprained ankle. Black, being only a sophomore, should do great things next year and will be a menace to Barko’s scoring record. Earl Apley—Forward. Starting as a guard at the first of the season Apley developed into a classy forward due to his speed, he was regarded as one of the fastest players in the con- ference. He was especially outstanding in the game against Washington of Cedar Rapids, being all over the fioor at once. Pivoting and driving into the basket, were his specialties. Flash Frazer—Guard. Was a real guard, and being a victim of the eight semester rule was unable to prove himself as he would otherwise have done. Frazer stood out on defence like a sore finger on a one armed man’s hand. He could always be depended on to do his share of the guarding, and many a time, if it hadn’t been for his brilliant de- fensive play, the scores might have been different. Bill Kelter—Guard. One of the best guards in the state this year. Bill was on the second All-Little Six. All-Sectional,and All-District Honor Teams. His defensive game was the best played by any this season. His ability to make dribble-in shots, as well as long shots, was a feature of the games in which he played. Russell Herrington—Forward. A junior with another year to go, Lefty became prominent on the team shortly before the Bulldogs began wageing their fight for the State Title. He held individual scoring honors at the sectional tournament and was chosen on the honor team. A great deal of this is due to his favorite left handed hook and push shots. Lefty was scrappy on defense, being all over the fioor at once, especially in in- tercepting opponents passes. ARGUS Sixty-three Hood Vouch Leonard Schmidt Applcy Track Slowly but surely Ottumwa is coming out of its track slump. With few or no experienced track men. Coach Van Antwerp and his aid. Don Newell, developed a few record breakers and trained other men who will be back in the future. Starting the season with first annual Little Six Indoor Meet, the Bulldogs did exceptionally well for an inexperienced team, placing third among more experienced teams such as Burlington, Fairfield and Muscatine. Freeman. Rex and Cole were outstanding in this meet. The following week. April 4. found the Bulldogs at the State Indoor Meet. Though the team did not place they gave their opponents much competition. Bob Freeman ran third in the 120 yard high hurdles. Opening the outdoor season Ottumwa invaded Oskaloosa for a night dual meet. Winning four out of five relays and placing first in practically all of the other events, Ottumwa snowed Osky under with a score of qbTj to 43%. A week later the Bulldogs returned to Oskaloosa to attend the annual relays. Here they competed against the best teams in this part of the state. The team didn't place high but Freeman broke the meet record in his specialty, running it in ib.q. On May 2. Ottumwa played host to Fairfield for its second dual meet. Again an over- whelming victory was marked up for Ottumwa, the score being qi to 44. Next came the Little Six Outdoor Meet in which Ottumwa placed third, showing much promise of annexing the title next year. Ottumwa's outstanding performers were Freeman, who ran the high hurdles in 16.2 to break the conference record; Cole, who neared the record in the high jump, and Albertson as well as the mile relay team. In the race for the state title, which commenced at Fairfield with the dis- trict meet. Ottumwa tied for fifth place.

It is thought by some that the art of tumbling requires no team work, that everything is up to the individual himself. However, tumbling re- quires much more team work than do some of the other minor sports. The tumblers developed this year to such a point that they were asked to perform be- fore many audiences. Among the outstanding ones were the Teachers' State Convention, the home basketball games, and many clubs and lodges. Next season most of the tumblers return but the parallel bar performers. Mclburn Hill and Jess Carnal, will be lost by graduation. We hope their places can be filled by men as skillful as they. Coach Trites started ' tumbling in the school four years ago and each year the interest seems to grow among the boys, as a larger number of boys are re- porting for this branch of activity. During the past year this type of work has been included in the programs of all the gymnasium classes, where a number of the boys were first initiated into the arts of the exacting sport. A number of the members have developed to a high state of proficiency, and have received much comment from the spectators during the performance of their exhibitions. Sixty-six ARGUS Row 1 llannum.

It is their duty to work up pep and enthusiasm for our teams on the football field, the basketball floor, or at the track meet. TOURNAMENTS Ottumwa was assigned to the Sectional Tournament at Bloomfield and had little trouble in winning the tournament. The first game was with Bloomfield and although they were on enemy territory the Bulldogs won easily 34—21. The second game was nothing short of a massacre. Our second team played all but the first quarter and held Moravia to 54—4. The final game with Centerville was a little closer The Big Red team held the Bulldogs until the last quarter but in the last few minutes of the game the team pulled ahead and won zq—24. By winning the Sectional, Ottumwa won the right to hold the District here. In the first game we swamped Indianola 26—13. The second game was an old fashioned thriller. Albia led through the whole game up to the last four seconds when Black made a free throw to shove Ottumwa in front. We won 25—24. The next night Eldon gave the Bulldogs the scare of their lives, driving them to the last four seconds, when Toole, substitute center, threw' the winning free throw'. After hav ing won the District, the fighting Bulldogs went to Des Moines to play in the State Tournament. They played a terrific game with Washington High of Cedar Rapids. Up until the last three minutes they were trailing by a considerable margin. Then with a burst of speed a fighting team of maniacs crept ahead of Cedar Rapids 16—14. With twenty seconds to play Cedar Rapids tied the score at 16 all. In the overtime period Ottumw'a wilted, having spent all their strength tying the score. The final score was 27—18. Thus the Bulldogs closed another successful season. They won 14 games and lost 8. It was a typical Ottumwa season. The team started out rather slowly and worked up to a whirlwind finish.

Reserves Aim The reserves aid in the government of the school. They are on duty in the halls every period, aiding in making O. H. S. student government one of the models of efficiency and practibility in the state. Activities Reserves arc elected from each advisory group. One from freshman groups, three from sophomore and five from junior and senior advisories. These repre- sentatives arc stationed in the halls where they sign pink slips, give information to strangers and prevent disturbance. Reserve meetings are held at intervals when new rulings are explained. Remarks Reserves are also often called as witnesses in the Student Council court. I f the reserve notices someone breaking one of the student council rules, or finds anyone in the halls without a pink slip, the offenders name is turned into the coun- cil librarian on duty that period. The person is called for trial and often the case is decided on the reserves testimony. Reserves have responsible positions and it is seldom that one proves unworthy of the trust placed in them.
