In reverent, startled, pop-eyed awe, At all the things we heard and saw. We were not long upon the scene, Before our verdure was less green, We strove to imitate our betters, ISought club pins, rings, won honor letters. The first three years went swiftly past, We felt that we were learning fast. Then, seniors, ancient, wonderous wise. We watched the world with weary eyes. Sweeping our proud and regal way. The monarchs of all that we survey, Wondering how school will stagger on After our mighty class is gone. Oh well—no use to dream or sigh— It's graduation, so— good-bye!

ATHLETICS Newell. A$ 't. Coach Van Antwerp. Coach Tiedc, Business Manager Athletic Department The Olympic games, held in Los Angeles last summer, were, perhaps, the out- standing athletic events in recent years. As is usually the case, the United States dominated practically all the events amid the cheers of millions. Our Coaches “ were present, picking up fine points by watching the polished athletes in action. These same points will be taught our own athletes, that they too may participate in the Olympics in the future. At present, we have two of the best prep coaches, in the state. Coach Van Antwerp has already produced many championship teams, as well as fine material for college coaches. Coach believes in developing underclassmen rather than seniors, and devotes much time to his beliefs, which procedure is a very good plan. Van Antwerp is always ready with new tricks, which he pulls from that much used bag of tricks;” while his assistant, Don Newell, is ready to organize dummy opposition from the ranks of the reserves. To Don also goes much credit in the development of the various teams, and to him, coach and the rest of the department owe many thanks. Don also has complete charge of the cross-country teams. For the second consecutive year his teams have won the State Championship, as well as other meets, including the Muscatine Invitational Meet. Both Van Antwerp and Newell are qualified to rank among the best coaches, being star athletes in their college days. Van Antwerp earned his B. A. and M. A. degrees in Physical Education and has spent some time studying under the late Knute Rockne. Newell received his B. S. degree and is now studying on his M. A. We might add that the desire to learn is still with these men. for they are ever studying new formations and defenses. Along with Van Antw erp and Newell, we must not neglect Mr. Tiede, the Business Manager for the athletic department. Our quiet Business Manager, we feel, is one of the best in his trade, and that is a big trade in itself. Ottumwa teams have the very best in transportation, food, and hotels, when it is necessary to stop over night at any one place. To all these men we w ish success, power, and “championships. BASKETBALI Black Morrow Herrington Apley King T rautwein Orbin Toole Peppers Eddy Anderson Elliott Johnson Streeby Burtis Lytton Kennedy Larson O'Dell McCoy Beghtol Morrow Football Ottumwa High opened the 1932 football season by playing Washington at Schaefer Field. The game featured two powerful lines and ended in 7—7 deadlock. The Bulldogs then turned their attentions to the battle with Muscatine. The game was a weird affair, Ottumwa throwing away many chances to score while Muscatine never threatened once. Ottumwa finally scored when Bob Elliott recovered a blocked punt; the game ended in 7—o victory for Ottumwa. Next on the Bulldog s schedule was Mt. Pleasant. Again the Ottumwans lacked the necessary scoring punch and fell behind with the score of 6—7. Next on the Little Six list came Burlington, and a 20—6 defeat. The only shining light of the game being a 66 yard dash by Ralph O'Dell for Ottumwa's only touchdown. The fol- lowing Saturday, Ottumwa was expected to take an overwhelming victory over Fairfield, but merely escaped with a 7—o win. O’Dell was again the star, catch- ing a forward pass and racing 30 yards for the only touchdow n. Thus closed the Little Six season, leaving Ottumwa w ith a .500 per cent rating. The first of the non-conference foes we played was North High of Dcs Moines. In the Drake Stadium, North High rode over the Bulldogs 3q—o, in the muddiest battle of the season. Next an improved Bulldog team journied to Davenport to hold the Tri-City team on even terms until near the end of the final quarter, w hen Davenport scored twice in rapid succession. The annual Armistice Day game was postponed because of a blizzard which was raging in this part of the state. On the following Wednesday, however, the Bulldogs met the Albia Demons at Schaefer Field in the last of the series with that school on Armistice Day. The Bulldogs met a determined and stubborn Albia eleven, and the game ended in a scoreless tie. Thanksgiving game, and with it, Oskaloosa, and the best team it has had in years. The old timers who have w'atched these Turkey Day affairs down through the ages gave Osky the edge to defeat Ottumw a at least 50—o. The Indians found themselves confronted by a grim, determined Bulldog eleven which threaten- ed to score from the first, but fell short by two yards. After a desperate game Oskaloosa established a 20—o victory. Row 1—W. Swain. O. Jackson. J. McLeod. D. Bcghtol. C. Critchlow. J. Robertson. H. Mansell. W. Snook. A. Theashcr. Row 2—C. Fisher. A.

Basketball After several victorious practice games, Ottumwa opened the Little Six sea- son by playing Fairfield. On the Armory floor at Fairfield, the Trojans were better than the Bulldogs by a 32—28 score. In the return game the Trojans copped a 31—17 decision. The Mt. Pleasant series saw the Bulldogs steam-rolled 40—26 and 32—23 by a Panther team whose only victories of the season were over the weary Ottumwans. Against Burlington, the Bulldogs put up a real fight only to lose in the last few seconds 17—15. In the second Burlington game Ottumwa lost 33—12. but the fact that the Bulldogs scored only once from scrimmage is not shown in the score. The series with Washington furnished two of the best games played by the Bulldogs this season, with Washington taking both close decisions 24—2q and 31—36. Ottumwa’s only success in the conference was at the expense of Muscatine, 24—20; but they returned the compliment in a thriller on the O. FI. S. court, 23—16. Ottumwa opened the non-conference season against Albia. The Bulldogs held the upper hand all through the game but were unable to stem a late attack by the Demons and lost 17—16. Later in the year, however, the Bulldogs showed some classy basketball and defeated Albia 25—13. East High of Des Moines, the only other non-conference foe on the schedule, split a series with Ottumwa, each winning on the other s floor. An exhibition game, played for charity, saw Ottumwa win over the Chariton team, which later went to the state meet. In the sectional tournament the crowd saw a determined Ottumwa five, out to uphold the reputation set by their predecessors. The game was a real battle from start to finish, with Fairfield spurting to a 34—29 finish in their favor. Old Dame Luck seemed to frown on the Bulldogs this season, for it is the first time in many tournament years when the Ottumwa five hasn’t been a real title threat. Of all the Bulldog players. Black was perhaps the most outstanding, being placed on the all-conference, all-sectional teams and given an honorable mention on the all-state team. Other Bulldog stars were Trautwein. a stellar guard, Ap- ley and Toole at forwards and King, who played at center. Row I—H. Smith. R. Ingcrsoll. Row 2—W. Freed. R. Herrington. A. Ruble. E. Aplcy. J.

Dear Mr. Douma: The Board of Education wishes to convey to you and each member of your entire personnel, a most sincere appreciation of your earnest cooperation this fall. As you know, it helps to a very great extent in the task and responsibilities of operating schools to the best interests of the community, even more so now than ever before, to know that everyone is doing everything possible to make the school program as economical as we can. With your unwavering efforts throughout the year, just as you are striving to do now. there shall be no question of the important part you will have in trying to efficiently operate the school system, take care of the equipment, fixtures, ap- paratus. supplies, and save money for the tax-payers. They have made possible one of the largest and best equipped high schools in the United States. Most sincerely. Board of Education. Did You Know— That we have four different ventilating units in the building that will deliver a total of 165.000 cubic feet of washed and conditioned air every minute. There are i.qbq electric light openings in the building that consume approxi- mately Si60 worth of electricity each month. 405,000 gallons of water arc used each month in the high school, which avera- ges about 1,607 gallons every hour at a cost of S40.50 per month. That this is the third largest high school in the state and that we have ap- proximately 1.600 students in our building every day. Why are we proud of our school ! Not only because it is a beautiful building and worthy of praise and pride, but of numerous things we accomplish. Let us look at our different activities. Last fall we started in our school, a new system of financing school activities. This method is known as the Stamp Card System and is used by all the larger schools in Iowa. It enables students to participate in our outside activities at a more economical cost and is entirely for their convenience. Many more students are able to buy activity cards and, although it is more work for the faculty, it is a financial success both from the students and the school s viewpoint. MAIN ENTRANCE the vestibule of learning—and the high school's public square—-M AIN ENTRANCE. MAIN OFFICE—here are destinies decided—the Mount Olympus of our days. MAIN OFFICE AUDITORIUM still silently echoing with class yells—chapel speeches—and dramatic shades— AUDITORIUM. CLUB ROOM—where students gather to disport themselves—the nucleous of the school’s social life. CLUB ROOM CAFETERIA here hungry seekers of knowledge allay more material wants—CAFETERIA. ENQ1NE ROOM—fire—fuel—heat—steam—the modern system for a mod- ern school. ENGINE ROOM GREEN HOUSE would-be Burbanks labor here over designs for living -QREEN HOUSE. ANNUAL ROOM—within these four walls—we labor—to give you— The Argus. ANNUAL ROOM Our School (Continued) In athletics, our cross-country team was outstanding this year. Our team won first at an Invitational Meet at Muscatine, next a State Meet at Iowa City, and then the dual meet at Oskaloosa. We are proud of our teams accomplish- ment and wish to them and our coaches, good luck for next year. We all like to watch a football game on those frosty days in the fall, and a snappy game of basket ball some winter evening. Sports—sportsmen—good luck to them all! Declam! In the fall we entered the Boys' Iowa Nine Declamatory Contest and as reward for the late hours of study they brought back for our school a bronze pin—third place in the humorous division. But in the spring our girls went even farther, after weeks of labor, they went to the Girls’ Iowa Nine Contest to bring back a gold pin—first place in the humorous division. Have you ever witnessed a debate in which our negative or affirmative teams took part? Their aspirations arc high and we wish to congratulate them for their work. They hold the championship of South-eastern Iowa and have been working diligently all year. They entered the finals in the state contest at Iowa City and the Iowa Nine Contest. Aside from producing two operettas yearly our music department has many other functions. They participate in the State Contest in the spring; help to supply our radio broadcasts; and furnish music for many civic programs. To say nothing of our orchestra and band, which we enjoy throughout the year. Did you know that the members of our faculty are 100% members of the National Education Association? And not only that but they also are 100% in contributing to Ottumwa's Community Chest. For the past two years our school has had a student relief fund which has been raised in the fall to help all the students remain in school throughout the w inter. We know this has been a great help to our school. One thing of which we are especially proud in our school is the Lyceum Course. Besides regular chapels we look forward to each special or “paid chapel.’’ Do you remember that ramble through Africa, w ith Wilson' or the tricks of Staples the magician? We all enjoyed the Misner Players, and let’s not forget the Russian Cossack chorus. We certainly have witnessed a store of wealth in talent and variety in programs. And then during our second semester we enjoyed the trip ’“Dow n to the Sea in Ships,’’ by Chester How land and Pamahasika’s pets, to say nothing of Fritz Crisler, the coach of Chicago University. High School night—this is the time for our own talents to shine. Everything is done by the students—our production. We thank our directors and faculty members for their help and cooperation. And let us mention Open House Night the opportunity for our parents to see and learn to know our school. Altogether 1 think we have a school of which to be proud, don't you? repress. THEME ...

As a punishment for some misdemeanor at the table, it was decided that John must not eat with the family at the next meal. So his dinner was placed on a small table at the end of the dinning room. When all were seated, the minister said: Now, John, you should ask a blessing before you cat. This was a new duty for John, but he bowed his head and said reverently: Our Father in heaven: Thou hast prepared a table for me in the presence of mine enemies. Thanks for the food. Amen.
