Three hundred years of teaching! Three hundred years of advancing! I his is what the three hundred years between 1635 and 1935 have meant. Cn .April 15, 1635. when the freemen of Boston provided for the first secondary school in America, they little realized what a period in the history of education they had started. From that small school with one teacher and a handful of students has grow n our great modern high school w ith many hundreds of pupils and teachers. Did they dream, these innovators of the greatest free public school system in the world, that only three centuries later the seed they planted would be multi- plied into the 26,000 high schools and 6,000,000 students of the year 1935? On this three-hundredth anniversary of the first high school wc wish to cele- brate the accomplishments of those who have preceded us in the great struggle to establish a free education for a free people. Moving w ith the nation as it ex- panded westward, conquering the obstacles of poverty and ignorance, those early teachers and educators impregnated every pioneer community with the desire to educate its children until the schoolhouse became the focal point of American life. Where they sowed, we reap, and no pride in our splendid buildings, far-sighted ideals, and search for public good can ignore what they did for us. And so we ask this question of us all—graduating seniors, underclassmen, faculty, parents, impartial friends—will the next three hundred years see as great an advancement in education as the last? Knowing what has beeen done and what is left to do, will we seize the torch and carry it on toward the goal to which our forefathers' glorious past urges us? We hear the challenge and ponder. Are we puppets or are we men? On with the march! OTTUMWA V UCTION • I Early in the history of Ottumwa, its far-sighted citizens began to realize the importance of instructing their young in the rudiments of book learning. Of | practical education there was a great plenty; a child could learn all there was to know about nature, the ways of the woods, how to shelter himself against cold, hunger, and danger from the heavily timbered hills that rose—and still do rise- from the edge of the Des Vloines river. But of book learning there was little in- deed until 1865. when a commodious brick schoolhouse was built on College Square, where the present high school is located. Before this there had been several schools established in succession, but they were schools without their own build- ings—schools that met in homes, churches, and even the fields. Finally, when in 1865 the first Adams school, as it was called, was erected for approximately S28,ooo, j Ottumwa was launched on its great public school system. From then on the other grade school buildings were built with great rapidity. High school was held in the first Adams building, and when it was torn down, school was held in the new one. Later, in i8qq, when the Adams was outgrown I the Washington, then known as the new high school. was completed. By 1921, the attendance at this school had increased so greatly that it became necessary to build our present Si,000,000 high school. We students of the Ottumwa High School are grateful to those early pioneers who had sufficient foresight to provide an efficient system of schools. They built better than they knew, for in its most important aspects our modern or- ganization of the educational system differs surprisingly little from theirs. , We citizens of Ottumwa appreciate and acknowledge our good fortune in having fallen heir to such a legacy. Our fine schools are known all over the state. We arc justly proud.

Pioneer Forefathersl We salute you, O pioneer forefathers in the field_of education! To all of you. giants in a nation of stalwart doers, who labored towards the establishment of those institutions to which we have fallen heir, we give our thanks and homage. All through the dark years of rebellion, civil war, and economic upheaval, when the stern realities of an ever westward-pushing pioneer civilization absorbed the best energies of heart and soul, you kept this torch alive and burning —universal education. How casually we accept our easily won luxuries—beau- tifully equipped buildings with swimming pools, theatres, libraries: leisure to enjoy these things which our education has taught us to demand : scientific knowl- edge of which only our early Benjamin Franklins dreamed. It is hard sometimes to remember that to you. w ho triumphed over the crudities of our early nation- hood. we owe indebtedness for such a legacy. John Harvard. Elihu Yale, Horace Mann. Matthew Vassar. Henry Durant these are only a few of the glorious names that come ringing down to us from the past. But we remember, too, the thousands of earnest schoolmasters and school- mistresses who toiled humbly and devotedly, generation after generation, to create an educated common-folk. You began what we are here to finish. You dared to plant in the world a revolutionary idea which even yet has not born its full burden of fruit. You in- vested a treasure of mental and moral capital which enriches our lives and supports our efforts towards the goal you set before us. May your fire and zeal ever be before us. urging us on.

I FOREWORD Present Board We are helping to build the mighty structure which those wise forefathers ol ours began so many years ago—the structure of modern education. This we' which we use is a large one. It includes us students ourselves, the teachers who work with us to make this great temple of learning as useful and beautiful as is possible, and greatest of all. those who are behind the teachers, upon whom the teachers themselves depend. How far would we get without the school board behind our organization? These men and women are our silent partners in our educational system— our backers.'' Gladly and willingly they work, without any recompense except that which the know ledge of a good deed well-done brings in its wake. They do all they can. even in times of depression, to keep up the physical and scholastic standards of our schools; they see that every boy or girl who wishes an education gets it. Francis Bacon once said. If a man have not a friend he may quit the stage.” Not a student in high school but feels the invisible power of that friendship which animates this altruistic body of men and women. They want to help us to be better students and citizens. They want to be proud of us—to sec us gain recognition. And we are proud of them. What, after all. has made this one of the best high schools in our state today? The student body—an everchanging population—above could never have achieved this feat. Nor could our teachers alone have accomplished it. It is largely the product of a never-ceasing effort on the part of these, our friends on the school board. So. at this time when we who have gone before us and of our best friends of the pres- Fducation. wish to recognize all those aided us. let us not forget one ent—the Ottumwa Board of CONTENTS BOOK ONE - The School BOOK TWO Classes BOOK THREE - Athletics BOOK FOUR - - Activities BOOK FIVE - - - Features ' B(' 3K ONE The School ' ■ In 1635 the citizens of Boston,then in its second year of existence, met and founded the first free school in America l$e sine qua non of the English- man—namely, his home, church, and state, assumed their accus- tomed relationships in the new land of America by developing in- stitutions necessary to promote social and economic progress.

The Argus and Its Story I am the Argus Annual. Let us turn back my yellowed leaves to where an almost forgotten past is faithfully recorded, and glance at some of the events so vividly depicted. ipcp a year which recalls the names of persons who showed much promise. Adolph Johnson- He slepe namo than doth a nightingale, and according to the prophecy of his class— Adolph and Lillian Roth have taken their famous divorce suit to the Supreme Court; Oscar Stoltz is taking the part of a wild and wooly cowboy in the Big Eleven Circus. Here are a few excerpts from the calendar of ipcp. January i—Had watch party. Girls swipe billiard balls. April 16—Seniors swipe faculty duds and hold mock chapel. Such advertisers and old friends as Stevens Shoe Store, Sargent’s Drug Com- pany. and Celania’s Confectionary have helped me this year. But can we ignore Slutz's Livery Autos, guaranteed to cure the blues? ipi7 Miss Clara Enoch now appears on my pages— Gentle of speech, ben- eficent of mind. Victor Hahn, basketball captain, great in all the lands. is captain of the basketball team. Under the coaching of Miss Olive Williams, Ot- tumwa High wins the Southeastern Iowa Championship in declamatory contests. In football the year is less successful. The team loses a game to West Dcs Moines High School with a score of pb—o! The fate of basketball is less disastrous. Burlington succumbs to a Bulldog attack with a twenty-three point to zero score. Mr. Eigenman is the coach. The school library is opened with eight hundred and seventy-five volumes. Familiar names are found among the advertisers. The Strand, an old- time nickelodeon, and Charlie Chaplin and Ben Turpin in pictures at the Orpheum Theatre are some of the most interesting. ipzb—Nine years later! For three years the high school has been housed in the present beautiful building. Mr. Blackmar is still superintendent of schools We notice Tullio Della Vedova. our beloved Italian, who helps Ot- tumwa win so many football victories. A new club, the Forensic Club, is organized for the first time. Such advertisers as the Iowa Steam Laundry and Sargent's Drug Company are still with me. ip30—I'our years later. How many changes have taken place since I first began my record! Mr. Frank Douma is now principal and Mr. Hannum has moved cn to the superintendency. Bob Erskinc, star left tackle in Coach Van Antwerp's great football team, is carrying off honors in the state. Three great dramatic successes coached by Miss Ertle Mac Smith are given Seventh Heaven , The Swan.........I'he Badman. Individual actors such as John Reynolds. Berg Allison, and Dick Davis make great reputations for themselves. What the future holds I cannot tell. My hope is. that with continued kind treatment and appreciation I shall be able to do my duty as faithfully in the years to come as I have in the years gone by. As class yields to class may I record its progress, its triumphs and victories, with the same fidelity. We 1935 12 Administration The Administrator and His Story (An Interview) Since 1927, when I first took up my duties as Superintendent of the Ottumwa Schools, a very in- teresting phase of my work has been seeing teachers come and go. Many leave to be married—too many for individual mention—while others leave to fill better positions elsewhere. Miss Marie Porter, now of Chicago, and Miss Alice Becmer. now teaching in the commercial department in Sioux City, arc among the latter. Both of these teachers were taken from O. H. S.—only two of a much larger number. It would not be fair to present only the pleas- ant side of my work and to ignore the disagreeable. Perhaps the most distasteful task of any superintendent is the meeting of people who look at the school system from a distorted point-of-view. Most often this is the result of a reprimand given a child by one of his teachers. Although this sort of thing is usually straightened out, it never fails to leave a bad taste in one's mouth. However, these episodes fall into the background when I remember the fine spirit towards its public school system prevailing in the town, and the coopera- tion given without stint by parents, business men. all public-spirited officials. One reason for Ottumwa’s growth in educational facilities, I believe, has been this unanimity of support by its citizens. The Ottumwa school system has progressed steadi- ly. The present is but a continuation of that past in which A. W. Stuart, who served as superintendent for thirty-five years and for whom the Stuart School is named, and H. E. Blackmar, who is now retired and living in New Jersey, all had a definite past. One should give education a long-range view—it is too vast a subject and must be regarded through the perspective glass of the years. As Tennyson says: Yet I doubt not thro’ the ages one increasing purpose runs. And the thoughts of men are widen'd with the process of the suns.” For this reason the development of the child as citizen and creative personality should come first. We arc no longer concerned with encyclopedic knowledge— let the pupil find his detailed facts in books, not in his memory. Rather do we wish to develop him as a constructive, working member of a responsible, well- ordered society which ever bears in mind its duty to the future.

In the larger schools the boys were divided into “Forms,” those in the same class sitting together on one bench. The ad- vance from one form to the next seems to have been made at year- ly intervals. There was also a change of position within a class according to the goodness or the badness of the students’ recita- tions. Emulation was freely em- ployed to attract the younger pupils to the position of head of the class. The scholars were drilled on fundamentals. . . . Classes Seniors Not finished, but begun! Seniors, before we place a closing seal on the finished letter of our high school career—a letter it has taken us four years to write—let us take one last reading of its contents. We see by it that as freshmen we differed very little from other classes in their verdant days, except that the record for scholarship we have consistently maintained was then begun, and the race for leader- ship started with unusual success. But our sophomore year—1932—presented our first real problems. Goaded on by the depression into truly heroic efforts, we ended the year with a formida- ble bank account. And as every loyal O. H. S. student knows, it s the second year that tells the tale. Some of the undertakings brought to a successful financial climax were: the Depression Party at the K. C. Hall, with prizes for the best costumes; the sale of tickets for High School Night, when seventy-seven members of the class sold six hundred tickets; the sale of programs at basketball games. With such a record to our credit we entered on our junior year with high hopes, which were not to be dis- appointed. Again we made a brilliant financial show- ing. This time one hundred and thirty-eight people sold seven hundred and fifty-five tickets for High School Night. The mid-year dance at the Armory, in addition, brought to the attention of the school some excellent dramatic talent. But the climax of our junior year came with the Junior-Senior Party at the Country- Club late in May. After a series of heavy showers the moon suddenly shone, and the air filled with country- odors and the perfume of the roses and daisies given to each girl for favors. But we reach at last that final year of mixed pleas- ure and sadness—our senior year in high school. Through all the happy hours of dancing, basketball and football games, debate, declamatory and music con- tests. plays, and classwork there comes the thought that this is indeed a farewell year. The pleasure we take in our Senior Mid-Year, Senior Spring Formal, Senior Play, Senior Chapel. Presentation of the Annual. Class Gift. Baccalaureate and Commencement serv ices is strengthened by the knowledge that these things lead us away from our past and yet bind us to it. We 1935 22 W. Swaim, B. L. Erbacher. R. O'Dell, P. Canny, Miss Kittleson Classes Teaching Staff 1898 - 1935 This is the year in which we turn our eyes backward over the past. How many changes there have been in the last thirty-five or forty years! When we read the history of only a generation or two ago we marvel at the complexities that have developed from our forbears' simple mode of life. We have listed below a few of the changes that time is responsible for in our high school. Turn back with us for a brief glance at a not so remote past, when grandma and grandpa rode a bicycle built for two, and the horseless carriage was only a crazy man’s dream. CURRICULUM At the turn of the century the following subjects only were taught in the high school: Latin, German. English, science, mathematics, music, drawing, and history. The course of study offered was one which prepared students for college entrance. The classics were emphasized, and the study of music and Latin was compulsory. A little later on the latter was made an elective subject, and in 1905 the manual training department was organized. This was made possible by the class of 1905 when the profits from the class play, “The Rivals. which netted five hundred dollars, were donated for this purpose. Contrast this, however, with our present curriculum. We have now four courses of study to choose from—the general, the normal training, the commercial, and the college preparatory! These make a total of seventy-two subjects. A few of the more recent additions to the curriculum have been Spanish, physical education, commercial subjects, and agriculture. What a wealth of material from w hich to choose! BUILDINGS Up to 1S98 the high school was housed in four rooms on the top floor of the Adams building. In 1899 increased enrollment necessitated moving into the Washington building. Here facilities for secondary education were greatly im- proved, but not until 1923, with the building of our present high school, were they adequate to the needs of a growing population. What city in Iowa can boast of better equipment and housing for its teen age students1 Two gymnasiums, a swimming pool, a greenhouse, sixty-seven classrooms, a library, rest rooms, an auditorium fitted for play production or moving pictures, a cafeteria, study halls these arc just a few of the places in which we carry on our varied activities. TEACHING STAFF Six or seven teachers, aided by a principal, carried on the teaching in 1898. Today we have a principal, an assistant principal and dean of girls, fifty teachers, and two office clerks. Enrollment has jumped from a few hundred to one thousand five hundred and seventy-one. In 1901, ninety-eight seniors were graduated; in 1935, two hundred and sixty-three. EXTRA-CURRICULAR ACT IVITIES The clubs of thirty-five years ago were few. Mens' and womens' debating societies, glee clubs, a football team—these were the major outside interests. Chapel was held once a day. with singing, responsive reading, and speeches an inev itable part of every program. There were no pep chapels nor student council.

Steadily we have climbed upward. Palpitating preps. jittery juniors, are just a few of the epithets that have traveled upward with us. A trail of teachers, scrapes, hilarity, hard work, and broken hearts is strewn along the path behind us. Think back over some of our more scintillating achievements. Remember the Sophomore Frolic we threw —the Sophomore Sport Dance—the Junior-Senior Mid-Year? Who can ever forget selling all those bulldogs at football games? Remember the chapels we've seen, that class meetings wherein we tried Miss Vinton’s patience almost to the limit? And now, hoary with accumulated wisdom and age, we re seniors! Way back in 1Q32. such a rise to success appeared only remotely possible. But now, with a full quota of fun. pretty good grades, a great deal of assistance, and a splendid adviser we've succeeded in reaching the top. Not a small achievement for a class in which the fun- loving. scholastic, and athletic elements are so well mixed. What a world of happy memories we shall always carry with us garnered not only from our junior year, but from all the years that have led us to our present eminence. Will the future not be the richer because of the past? We cannot imagine a day, no matter how distant, that will not feel the influence of these years of labor and friendship. How often shall we recall the happy comradeship and rivalry that sweetened our high school life, when just to be young was very Heaven! But enough of this- the present urges us on to deeds which will, in their turn, become a part of our past. Now we must settle down as a senior class to make a big splash and. at the risk of a mixed metaphor, go out in a blaze of glory. It's up to each one of us to begin the year with the determination to show our fellow-students, our teachers, and even the town, a senior class they'll not forget for awhile, one they'll remember with pleasure. W. Johnson. G. Wulfckuhlcr. V. Campbell. P. Mahon. Miss Vinton Let the motto for our senior year be: More fun, higher grades, greater responsibility, a striving ever upward, ever onward.

Like mariners half-way to the shore we see our goal gleaming in the distance. Much of the voyage we have made thus far has been through rough and stormy waters. The waves of hard studying and many extra-curricular activities have threatened many a time to overwhelm us. This is a moment of comparative calm—a moment when the trials and agitations of our prephood are definitely behind, and the toils and rigors of upperclass life not yet begun. What'do we see in our backward glance over those early days ? First of all. leadership in scholastics ! The sophomore class leads the school on the honor roll. Add to this participation in debate, declamation, athletics, and dramatics, and you can easily see why we have lived such a busy past two years. Our social duties have not been so great, perhaps, as those of the junior and senior classes. Only one sophomore dance is chalked up to our credit. But we shall take that in our stride, too. With such a record, who would be- grudge us self-confidence? Self-confidence! Too much self-confidence is the accusation which has been hurled at sophomores ever since the word was invented. But can one have too much of such a good thing won with such effort? We chorus enthusiastically, No, and plan to go on our way undisturbed by the criticisms of the righteous. We know what it is to be The Underdog, to shine other people's shoes, to admire the exploits of upper- classmen: we have shown that we can—to use a slang phrase— take it. We are post graduates in the art of standing the gaff. Why should we not brag a little? And now, forward! What a thrilling prospect lies before us. A whole world of fresh accomplish- ments, new friendships, good times, and good endeavor waits to be conquered. Shall we do less than those who are now only shadowy figures in the background of this enchanting landscape? Their friendly beckon- ings urge us on: we hear their shouts of encouragement. It may be that as we approach the shore their faces shall recede and their figures grow dim, for they occupy that shore only until we can come to take their places. As class leads to class, so generation leads to generation. We 1935 48 D. Cramblit, M. Lane. G. Scarlc. M. Salter. Miss Stanahan I ror ward! Sophomores Classes Row I D. Evans, H. Brag}?. L.

Just nine months ago, when we entered these doors in fear and trembling, perhaps the remarks flung at us were true. “Imagine one of these little fellows playing the bold, bad man in our next play, ' we heard someone say. “ 'Aha, squeaked the villain, as he stood on tiptoe to sock the hero on the nose. This is only one sample of the whole repertoire of abuse with which we were greeted. Another remark was: “Imagine a football team of midgets. But what we lacked in size as individuals we made up for in size as a class. Will you, potent upper- classmen. ever forget the formidable array of preps that filled the gallery, the incline, and even the steps, whenever a chapel program was given? When you calmly moved over, so that we could come down and humbly fill in your vacated seats, did you suffer a pre- monition of the fall that follows pride We knew that the climb up to the rarified atmosphere you breathed would be hard, but now that the first lap is won. wfe feel encouraged. Other classes, perhaps, have included in their number equally brilliant and promising members: we cannot be sure that some of our predecessors have net been even better than we like to think ourselves in our rosier moments. But if zeal, courage, and bulldog stick-to-it-iveness have the magic powers that copy- book maxims give them, we feel sure that our achieve- ments will in no way cast discredit upon the examples they have given us. Nevertheless, we breathe a sigh of relief that those days of initiation are over, when no longer will w'e stumble through endless corridors like chartlcss marin- ers in an unknown sea, or blunder into senior classes by mistake! Many helping hands have guided us to this vantage of safety, and we thank them from the bottom of our not-so verdant hearts. So it is with a pardonable boast that we view' our impending elevation to the rank of sophomores. Magic word! It is the Open Sesame of our dreams. With it come opportunities for leadership, service, still greater scholastic triumphs. We stand with one toe over the doorsill that leads to important places, ready to catch the lighted torch you who have preceded us fling down through years for us to catch. We 1935 H. Thompson. R.

The main hope for anything like good “boy-times” was in playing hookey or playing in school. In the few hours that could be given to outdoor sports there were skating and coasting in the winter, and a variety of games in summer including swimming. A game with ball and bat, remote forerunner of base ball, was a favorite. Great attention was given to physical exercise such as wrestling, running and leap- ing. Twelve play days only were allowed each year to every pupil. Athletics Row I—H. Smith. C. Winger. R. Lyons. B. Patton. L. Farrington. E. Critchlow. W. Robinson. R. McClasky. J. Oakes. C. Krumboltz.

When the final pistol shot rang out. it found itself Little Six Champion and claimant to another state title. The first game was played against Fairfield on Schaefer Field an:l resulted in the decisive score of 27—o. The next important battle, against Mt. Pleasant, gave an even greater victory, with a score of 33—o. Muscatine, third on the con- ference list, was out-played up to the end of the third quarter, with the score standing 24—o; but when Coach Van Antwerp substituted a whole new team. Muscatine scored two touchdowns in rapid succession before the bewildered sec- ond team could recover its senses. A fourth conference struggle, with Washing- ton. resulted in a 54—o score for the Bulldogs. The last Little Six game was with Burlington. Dogged by bad luck throughout the game, Ottumwa finally emerged with a 13—9 victory. Ottumwa gained 223 yards by rushing to Bur- lington's 2b. This closed the Little Six Conference football season for Ottumwa with a rating of 1000 percent. The first important non-conference foe was North Des Moines High School in the Drake Stadium. Six times the Bulldog backfield brought, the ball within scoring territory, and six times the stubborn North Des Moines line held until it gained possession of the ball by fourth downs or fumbles. As a result the game ended in a scoreless tie, and Ottumwa's hopes to be named state champion were shattered. Interest revived, however, when the Bulldogs met their traditional foe. Os- kaloosa, on Penn College Field in Oskaloosa on November 10 and beat them 7 to o. Lundquist made the touchdown for Ottumwa shortly after the kick-off, but after that both teams fought savagely in mid-field, neither gaining any great advantage.

This victory was followed by the winning of two dual meets with Oskaloosa. At the State Meet in Iowa City, Cttumwa came in third, sixth, and seventh, gaining sixteen points and wresting the state championship title from Muscatine by a 23—38 score. In IQ32 the Bulldog squad, under the leadership of Richard Beebe, again won the dual meets with Oskaloosa and the Muscatine Invitational Meet. They then climaxed the season by winning the state championship title for the second con- secutive time. The 1Q33 squad, this time led by John Schmidt, won the dual meet with Oskaloosa. the Muscatine Invitational Meet, and the State Meet for the third con- secutive time. This gave them an undisputed state championship. This year, with the biggest cross-country team in history, Ottumwa won the Muscatine Invitational Meet in a field of seventy-three contestants. John Beebe placed first. Kenneth Beebe third, and Martin Bell ninth to make a total of thirteen points. The Ottumwa harriers then met Oskaloosa at Schaefer Field in a dual meet which they won by placing first, second, third, fifth, seventh, and eighth. In the State Meet at Iowa City the Bulldogs got off to a flying start with John Beebe in the lead, his brother Kenneth second, and the other members of the Ot- tumwa team following right on their heels. At the beginning of the last lap the two Beebes were in first and second places, but Kenneth was unable to keep up the pace, falling back to twelfth place. This allowed Muscatine to reclaim the state championship title which the Bulldogs had wrested from them in 1(331. We 1935 62 H. Beebe Shoemaker J. Beebe B. Rogers D. Newell B. Friday .VI.

Basketball The Bulldogs enjoyed a typical Ottumwa High School basketball season, winning fifteen games and losing six. Little Six competition opened with a defeat at the hands of Burlington. anJ the next week another defeat by Washington. After this the Bulldogs hit their stride and turned the tables by defeating Fairfield 20—25. Luck continued with them while they defeated the Mt. Pleasant quintet. Next the Bulldogs journeyed to Muscatine where they lost 23—21. When the second division of Little Six competition opened. Ottumwa found itself decidedly outclassed by Burlington with a score of 27—iq. The Washington Demons went home with a 28—25 defeat. Then Ottumwa defeated Mt. Pleasant. 72 10. The Red and White next encountered the Fairfield Trojans from which the Bulldogs finally emerged the winner. The climax game of the season, with Muscatine, was fought without the services of their star forward. Don Lundquist. The score was tied 27—27. In an exciting overtime. Muscatine made a field goal and a free shot, winning 30—27. Thus Ottumwa wound up a hectic year in Little Six Conference competition with a rating of .500. When the Bulldogs came to the tournaments they were paired with Keosauqua in the first game, and won with ease. Eldon, in a very close game, was next elimin- ated. Finally the Bulldogs met Fairfield for the final of the Sectional Tourna- ment. They had beaten Fairfield twice in very close games, but this time Ot- tumwa opened with championship basketball that hopelessly swamped the opponent. In the District Tournament the Bulldogs were paired with their old gridiron foe. Oskaloosa. They gained a slim margin after the first quarter which they maintained all through the game, finally defeating Oskaloosa 17—15. Burling- ton was met in the semi-finals and defeated Ottumwa 30—2b.

BOOK FOUR Activities The principal scholastic activity was study, but fishing excursions, when the master read Latin, were not rare Allowing the best boys to go out in the open and cultivate the school master’s garden was quite a mark of distinction. The boys were allowed to laugh and sing as much as they pleased while they tilled. Another school hon- or was that of sawing the wood of the master and bottling his cider. Whenever possible the pupils were taught while playing, such as when the instructor would read Latin while the boys were fishing. However, they often “passed their time pleasant- ly in telling funny storries and laughing very loudly.” Activities Row I—Beck. McLeod. Miss Enoch. Swaim. Row II—Cohen. Baer. Gcifman. Kalen.

We 1935 74 Activities Torch Club On August 2, iQ34, the Ottumwa High School chapter of the National Honor Society was organized and given the significant name of Torch Club. No higher honor than membership in this society can be bestowed upon a student, for only after a committee of the faculty and a committee of fellow-students have passed upon his high school record can he be admitted. Each candidate is judged on his achievements in four great fields: scholarship, leadership, character, and service. The emblems of Torch Club are a keystone and a flaming torch. The key- stone bears at its base the letters S. L. C. S., which stand for the four cardinal principals on which the organization is founded. As the keystone is placed by the architect to hold the perfect arch in perpetual stability, just so the structure of our education must be held firm and true by those virtues represented in this symbol. The torch is symbolic of the onward march of time, as generation after generation of students passes on those qualities of scholarship, leadership, charact- er, and service to its successors. Scholarship is the power of the mind to dispel ignorance and superstition through scientific investigation of truth. A student must have shown himself interested enough in daily classroom work to rank in the upper one-fourth of his class in scholarship. Leadership is the power of personality that blazes the trail for man's upward climb. A student must show initiative in promoting any high school activity, acting as leader in every project which will help to maintain higher standards of character and citizenship throughout high school and throughout life, and exert a type of leadership which will actively and wholesomely influence toward a higher type of living. Character sets the seal of righteousness upon every endeavor. A student must meet individual obligations to the school promptly and completely. He must show an honest spirit in class work and a spirit of cordiality and sincerity toward the teachers. He must constantly demonstrate such qualities of person- ality. honesty, reliability, promptness, achievement, and morality as are indis- pensable to the finest young manhood and womanhood. Service is the beginning and end of education: the altar of altruism from which God's blessings to man have been vouchsafed. A student must show a willingness to render cheerfully and enthusiastically any service to the school whenever called upon—a willingness to do thoroughly any assigned service in school procedure or student government: a readiness to show courtesy by acting as guide to v isitors, or as big brother or sister to underclassmen; a willingness to offer himself as a representative of his class or school in interclass or inter-scholas- tic competition: a willingness to uphold scholarship and maintain a loyal school attitude; a willingness to render any other worthwhile service to the school or, through the school, to the community. Cherishing these aims and ever exalting the virtues embodied in them is the important duty of every member. The keystone symbolizes the high ideals of the society; the flaming torch is the emblem of its purpose. By giving recognition to those pupils who earnestly strive for their own betterment and that of others, Ottumwa High School hopes to do its share in building up a better and brighter future for all.

The Arguseers Under the sponsorship of Mr. Norris this group of journalists, called The Arguseers, publishes The Argus Daily. 'This bulletin is circulated through the advisory groups each morning and informs students and faculty of coming events in the school. Without such a publication the complicated activities of our student body would function much less smoothly. In addition to furnishing this vital service, the operation of The Argus Daily gives its staff training in journalism. The chief editors are Elinor June Anderson and Mary Glascock. Every two weeks The Argus News, a four to six page newspaper, appears. It. too, is the product of The Arguseers. Feature articles, news articles, humor- ous columns, a calendar of events, a sport section, and an advertising section make The Argus News a true newspaper in every sense of the word.

As a mem- ber of the Cudahy-Massce- Milwaukcc- M useum Afri - can expedition, Mr. Well’s notebook, pencil and cam- era were constantly in op- eration, with utmost ac- curacy, recording the real facts hour by hour. In his books he tells of tree-climbing fish, singing earthworms and monkeys who clean their teeth after meals. One of Mr. Wells’ most important faculties is making the truth sound like a lie. There is something for us to look forward to In Coldest Africa.” Fort Port- al, Kasunganvanza, Ianb- da. Mihunga Myinabitaba, Kichucha, Bwamba, Kai- jongola, Freshfield Col. Twin Lakes, Katandara, Bujuku Lakes, Kigo and Ruwenzori. One of the outstanding events of the school year will be the appearance of Carveth Wells in the O. H. S. auditorium some time in February. Mrs. Frank Hofmann has written to Mr. Wells’ publishers and asked them if, when Mr. Wells comes here, he would sign all of the copies of his works on sale at Hofmann’s Drug Store. Carveth Wells is a noted Malay jungle explorer. His books, In Coldest Africa,” “Let’s Do The Mediterranean,” ‘‘Six Years In a Malay Jungle, “The Field Engineer’s Handbook,” and “T h e Jungle Man and His An- imals are outstanding for their portrayal of animal life and African customs. In these books, “dense jungles” become beautiful wooded plains, peopled by vast herds of wild ani- mals” almost as tame as domestic cattle.

Jim was chosen by popu- lar ballot by the members of the squad. Each member of the team who was out for practice was entitled to a vote and Jim won by a big majority. He re- ceived his first letter this year. Galey Gets Chance Galey got his first big chance as a regular when Winfred Swaim was taken to the hospital with an at- tack of appendicitis. He played in the guard posi- tion until Winfred had re- covered; then he was shifted over to tackle. Jim is a husk y chap, weighing around 170 pounds. He wasn’t as fast as some of the other members of the team, but what he lacked in speed he more than made up in scrap; and of course, his main asset, and the reason he was elected cap- tain was his popularity. Although he hasn’t made any touchdowns or done any kicking, the squad has placed confidence in Jim’s ability to deliver for the team in the pinches. Here’s good luck to you next year, Jim, and to the whole foot- ball squad. there, where we are sup- posed to roast directly under the equator, we are really in a land of perpetu- al ice and snow, the same as the North Pole.

We 1935 SO Activities Dramatic Club All the ivorId's a stage, And all the men and women merely players. We live a brief life, but during our allotted span of three score and ten we play many roles. Through acting we learn. Thought, word, and deed linked together make an impression that is well-nigh indelible. Good acting is an influence to be reck- oned with in the cultural ascent. For this reason the Dramatic Club of Ottumwa High School, now one of the largest clubs in high school with a membership of approximately one hundred and twenty-five students, was formed. Its aim is to help the student express himself with greater ease, fluency, and effectiveness. To retain membership in the club ten points must be made each semester. These points are obtained in the arts of stagecraft, make-up. and dramatic inter- pretation. An average of eighty per cent in all other subjects must be maintained by members of the Dramatic Club. Those persons who have done something exceptionally worthwhile, cither in acting or producing, and have gained seventy-five points are admitted to The Players. This is a club within the larger club, a nucleus of enthusiasts. This year the Dramatic Club has instituted a new plan of taking in new mem- bers. Instead of having try-outs, as has formerly been done, members of Players have directed prospective talent in short, one-act plays. Faculty members, Players, and audiences judge these plays. In the last year, the Dramatic Club has made valuable additions to the stage equipment of the Ottumwa High School. With the help of the Board of Educa- tion a new velour stage curtain and grand drapery were purchased. The club by itself bought a new grand border of baby spotlights and the beginnings of a unit set of flat scenery. These purchases were made possible through the careful managing and thorough ticket sales campaigns of members of the Dramatic Club. The officers of the Dramatic Club are: President—Bernard CoiIen Vice-President James Seybert Secretary—Charlotte Dalin Treasurer—Margot Baer The officers of the Players Club are: President—Margot Baer Vice-President—Bernard Coi ien Secretary and Treasurer—Josephine Taylor The success of a play, we wish to emphasize, depends on the complete and undivided co-operation of both staff and cast. Just as when one string of a delicate instrument is out of tune the music has no harmony, so it is with a dramatic pro- duction. Without the help of every member, the play cannot go on. ARGUS 81 Activities Highness” This year the Iowa Nine League inaugurated a plan of play exchange. Each school in the league presented a one-act play to two out-of-town schools and in turn acted as host to two other visiting groups of players. This play. Highness. was Ottumwa High School's contribution to Fairfield and Washington. R. Swenson. M. Baer. A. Rutledse. B. Cohen II. Bell. M. Rupp. H. Tullis. J. L. Robertson. B. Smith. F. Crozier. C.

The ending, in which he discovers himself rich in reality, comes as a complete surprise. 'I his gives him the chance to marry the little orphan girl who remains true to him all through his trials, to the general satisfaction of the entire audience. We 1935 82 Activities “Big-Hearted Herbert” The story is built around a man who cannot understand the need for social polish until he brings home a business man to dinner and his wife serves Mulligan stew. This opens his eyes to the importance of etiquette, and he reforms. The audience followed the progress of his metamorphosis with amusement and sympathy. B. Kalcn, B. Trautwein. H. Pinnco. J.

Back Stage Crew Without this group no play could be performed, for by its unseen hands are controlled the prompting, scene-shifting, lighting, properties, and various other elements necessary to successful production. Like the lineman on a football team who never score a touchdown but make it possible for the stars to do so, these people pave the way for the curtain bows which climax the successful performance. ARGUS 83 Activities Library Within the walls of this room many treasures are stored. It is here that students may get the best fiction, the classics, and excellent reference books. The latest magazines and newspapers also are available. We take this opportunity to thank the librarians for their patience in listening to our endless inquiries and their unceasing efforts to make the pathway to knowledge easier for us. Ruff. Barnes.

They have sung on our chapel programs, in the open House Night celebration, in the Christmas Pageant, and on various programs about town. Without them our musical life would be the poorer.

Here the school printing jobs and the Argus News are printed. ARGUS 93 Cafeteria The O. H. S. Cafeteria is a great convenience to those students who cannot go home for lunch or those who wish to study at noon. Good food, low costs, courteous service and contact with fellow students combine to make the cafeteria hour a favorite in the daily schedule.

Engineers An efficient corps of workers keeps our school building and grounds in the existing excellent condition. They spend all summer and many long hours in the school day repairing, painting, cleaning, so that they may keep all details of our surroundings in faultless order. These men and women set a fine example of school spirit in their unceasing efforts to keep our school beautiful. BOOK FIVE Features s Sports in their true sense were few, but in summer the good students were taken swimming How different are these snap- shots from the portraits, minia- tures, and tin-types of by-gone days. Now, by a touch of a finger, a better likeness can be made than by hours of patient sitting for a portrait. (Could the intent look on the faces of our forefathers be the result of weary hours of posing?) These jokes which we find very humorous today would have failed to elicit a smile from the Puritan fathers. Their jokes in turn seem queer to us and not at all laughable. Perhaps in three hundred years from now, our jokes will be as uninteresting to our descendents as those of our ancestors appear to modern youth. O. H. S. Day by Day What a story the steps of O. H. S. could tell, if they would speak, of the teachers who have come and gone. We are reminded of that song. Where do they come from and where do they go? Where arc the names which were famous to the older members of Ottumwa's populace1 They arc gone, as the newer names will be in another decade. What w ill happen to l orn Norris, the man w ho forever carries his head in the clouds and never wears a hat1 The story is told that in the army Mr. Norris had to wait six months to get a hat. The reason later given was that the authorities had to have one made to order and it came in the next shipment. Of course we wouldn’t say Tommy had the big head. Then there's F. W. Douma, the man who towers far above everyone in height and makes a student feel so darned uncomfortable. When asked w hat F. W. D. stood for. a certain teacher told a freshman it stood for Front Wheel Drive—but we couldn't vouch for that fact. What do the teachers do in their leisure hours? Most of us don't realize how- little we really know about the faculty. Now we are told that Davy and Jonesy belong to a knit and chat club and to see them knit you'd really be- lieve that. It was stated by a little keyhole peeper that Davy and Jones are both knitting coats to keep them warm in their old age. Perhaps you'd be surprised to know that Butch Hamley's hobby is making ships that neither sail nor go out to sea but make very nice ornaments. Coach Van Antw erp we are sure sits around and thinks up mean things to say to his boys between halves— how- ever, only his wife swears to that! How many of you can remember H. L. Trites? (said by some to be the mean- est man alive). Quite a difference between his witty, loud haranguing and Jack Snyder's easy-going, nice polished manner—eh! what, boys? Laura Nanes is the big bad wolf, but we've learned from experience that Miss Nanes has some of the most interesting classes in high school. If you see some teacher running around tearing her hair and speaking a mix- ture of Dutch and Latin don't get excited, it's just Miss Ver Huel in one of her tantrums. We have quite a joke on Mr. Webert. As the story goes a student made the statement in one of Miss Duke's sociology classes that people in O. H. S. take printing because it's easy. Of course Mr. Webert was angry at the student— We re wondering which one really got fooled—Miss Duke, Mr. Webert, or the student. The latest rumor has it that our honored and respected Mr. Webert is going to become at last a staid and steady married man. The rumors! Tut. tut. If you wish to see a man really angry, put a high school practice on Wednesday night and watch Mr. C. N. Johnson go to town. The riddle's solved; we have found out after much delving why Dave Jay's name has been linked with that of Miss Montgomery. It seems they tumbled for each other—or just tumbled—on the floor at a certain Coliseum dance—so childish, don't-ya-know1 It seems the students in Ottumwa High School are really fond of L. Z. Crozicr, especially the females. We are told one breezed into his class and very jauntily said, What's my grade, honey? —She couldn't be wanting a higher one by any chance?

Wind), some laughing, frowning, grinning, and smiling. These are the types of faces 1 see as I calmly look around from where I sit in the bus. If only those frowning expressions could be changed to a smile how content I would be. An old man with a square jaw like that of Glen Tozer sits next to me, next to him sits a young girl. (E. Graham) and as she looks around, an idiotic grin ap- pears on her face. Next to her sits a dignified woman. I f I could have her Darl- ing little Fido, who has a big pink satin ribbon around his neck; or break her ex- pensive eyeglass, which she holds so dignified to her eye and gives everyone the look over. I wish I could change the word dignify to stupid. But after all it takes all kinds of people to make a world, so I'll try to be content with sweet, (Josie Taylor); smiling. (Howard Tullis); grinning, (Jimmy Seybert; )frowning, (Ruth Wind); laughing, (Pat Canny); and also idiotic expressions, (E. G.) for maybe I possess a fault as bad, and even my best friends won’t tell me. tfijtfctfe a' From the Mountains Down in the Ozark mountains of Arkansas, a farmer owned a very bad mule which had given him a great deal of trouble. One day the mule kicked his mother- in-law to death. There was a very large crowd who attended the funeral, which was composed mostly of men. In fact, the crowd was so large the minister spoke about it to one of the neighbors the next day. He said, “The deceased must have been very popular and well thought of to have drawn such a large crowd to her funeral.” Why, parson, they didn't come for the funeral, they come to buy the mule. «QJtfti HfctOsJji There was an old woman who lived in a shoe, With twenty-six kids and a baby or two, Said She, “The old home’s getting crowded, b’gosh!” So she moved to a nifty 4 buckle galosh. Ode to Miss Ver Heul A note to all those freshmen, About to enter school. Watch out for one dear teacher, A lady. Miss Ver Heul. This teacher teaches Latin. And very strict is she. For she has no time for idlers That are full of mirth and glee. My advice to all those freshmen, That at first expect some fun. Is, to settle down before the time They enter the room of this one, —Milton Patterson. We 1935 Features According to Mr. Tiede We arc certainly living in a fast age. In order for you to keep up with the times today, you have to be triplets and work in eight hour shifts. As an example— The old-fashioned business man used to take his pen in hand; now he takes his typewriter on his lap. The old-time girl used to think a cocktail was rooster feathers: now she wants to know what you have on your hip. She used to hang mistletoe over the door. Now she puts a parking light on her roadster. The old-fashioned girl was harder to kiss, but it wasn't so dangerous. The parlor sofa wouldn't smash into a tree. The old-fashioned man used to marry his typewriter with the idea he could keep on dictating to her. Today, if they try to sell him a typewriter, he will say, “No, I am still paying alimony on the last one.-' Formerly the price of a good time was eternal damnation. Now it depends on where you go. Can You Imagine? Eleanor June without Virginia. John Williams not knowing his chemistry. Abbie standing still. Melvin without his car and women. Bing Robertson with straight hair. Becky without Madeleine. E. Graham in the hall without a boy by her side. Bette Lou without a date. Jim Myers driving slow. Don McLeod in a hurry. Coach Van Antwerp not pulling a joke. Hugh Bell without those dimples. Lloyd Starr with small ears. John Lancy six feet tall. Ken Tiede with a high voice. Glen Tozcr losing his voice. Cross Patch ’Twas two o'clock in the morning as the sun began to set; Snow was falling upward, and the dust was wringing wet. Hens were crowing fast asleep, and hoot-owls laughed with sorrow'; A cyclist passed on roller skates, as daw n turned into morrow. A cop sat on the corner with feet as warm as ice, While upstairs in the subway there were rats as big as mice. The wind was roaring softly as the reservoir caught fire, And he walked in a Ford to the stable to patch a puncture-proof tire. Her house sat high in a valley, with a yard around the fence. Her canaries sang like deaf-mutes, and the air was clear as dense. He parked his car on the river, which was miles away nearby. And then he brushed his shoes with mud as snakes flew thru the sky. Fie walked to her house in a rapid run, his shirt was wringing dry. He stopped at a filling station for a glass of cherry pie. She sat in the doorway standing when he rang the roller towel, And they hugged each other far apart, as her old man smiled a scowl. Then she removed his Stetson coat and hung it on the floor, The w indow shades were up way down, as they sat on the parlor door. They drew up to the ice box. as a blizzard raged inside. The thunder struck a chimney and the laughing hyena cried. He loved his red-head brunette blond, with locks of greenish blue. And softly screamed out of her ear, “You nut! how I hate you. ARGUS 105 Features THE BOILING POT We are truly surprised at Pauline wasting her talents on a waste paper basket, what a pity—there’s quite a contrast between Betty's sweet innocent face and that ferocious mug of the bulldog—poor little Willy Hanrahan usually looks so downhearted, the feature editor must have caught him on one of his off moments—there's something wrong here. Mr. Douma may be tall but he's not that tall—Audrey LaBelle seems to be pretty wind blow n, but all kiddin’ aside she usually has what we consider the most beautiful hair in school—Pee-Wee Lancey is haunting the same old place, the garbage can. Oh! Pee-Wee won’t you ever get over it1—yes. you’re right, Pat Canny's head, anybody could tell it by that cotton top—hold it. there s that lady-killer Buyak—Pee-Wce again, yes, he’s still up in the clouds—Barty fits into a natural background of ice and snow. but then we are told she's sorta cold—-Janey Roscoe, the brunette siren—that s a beautiful view of the bell, but we’re wondering w hat the fellow was doing in the building at that time of night—are we drunk or are there really two of them? yes, Verla and Vesta— Madeleine Rupp, a nice girl but she'll talk you to death, so we re told—say. I wouldn't mind a date with that good looking Olgadean Bullard, especially with that contented look in her eyes—you've heard of Garbo's big feet, but we didn't know Deke Sayles' feet were big enough to hold both Baer and Wellman —just two little girls, Francis Crozier and Betty Schaffer—Betty Roberts, yes. she’s really on board a ship—Critch' must have accomplished something—what animal is that which Bart’ is holding1 must be a playmate—don't let the picture fool you, the boys are really little dears; it's just the picture. We 1935 106 Features SWEETHEARTS ON PARADE Schoolday sweethearts galore; or maybe pre-schcol— how's that for a classy present from a fellow to his gal. says Gene Wulfekuhler as he hands Janet an elegant box—and the gesture is nicely finished off by the little girl in the picture above and our hero Don McLeod—pipe the trim little couple next door; Don Anderson must have been bashful in those days—so many proposals for one girl: oh!—Lorraine, you make the rest of us girls so ashamed— boom, says Jimmy, I’m going to end you, w ith a shotgun at Josie's head but Josie only smiles—look into the past and see Kent and dozer (holding hands of course) and across the way Campbell and LcBow (doing their best to keep up)- well. Bing, for pete’s sake, is this competition de luxe?- what! there's Bob sitting there so naive while right behind him is Dorothy Darnell; why. Bob—and Marvin Webert. help, we’re surrounded, says Marvin; but he should- n’t object, not with Annie and Evy—there's Bing again w ith another, oh—er. I mean with Ruth Betty Lou seems very pleased with the sucker she's caught today—do you feel like that all over. Janet' nice smile. Chuck Hull—and right across the alley we behold Frank Stoltz's teeth surrounded by Frank Stoltz s mouth—Marguerite Morrow and other background—W. T., how you have shrunk; still Eliza- beth Anne's goin’ right to town—there are Mary Louise Ryan and Verl Harness; w hat a pretty couple they make—whoa. whoa, there's Mrs. MacGrath's little boy Dickie and his side kick Martha Baker we see our esteemed D. Brown hitch hiking a ride: and look at the disapproving scowl on that Lowe boy's face; which one is Benny and which Jimmie, that's the question—oh! well never mind,, they're both handy;—or are they. ARGUS 107 Features Tabloid News Hears All—Sees All—But Tells Nothing COPY FROM EVERYWHERE Flash—Who does Jimmy McLeod turn to when Josie's gone south— tsk, tsk, Annie, too bad, we know. Ask Calvin Manning how it feels to be chased across a field, especially when the car won't start; and with such a pretty damsel as baby Baer— watch it, Cal, you'll get shot some night. Abb Ruble, the all around play-boy (you know) athletics, singing, dra- matics, dancing and we musn't forget necking, seems to be going in for bigger game. We see him driving a big brown Oldsmobile around; of course the girl's name is Kelly and she's a telephone operator—too bad, girls you've lost Abbie. Ralph O'Dell seems to get along quite well with the police force. We see he was taken up for shooting the lock off a farmer's gate. The latest report is Ralph got a scholarship to Northwestern—we suppose he has a job pulling light switches for so much a month—we don't blame you, Ralph, get the best you can. Of course Arlene doesn't know it but we hear Howard Tullis has quite a good time in that great city of Albia every once in awhile, to say nothing of his after-practice dates—too bad, Howard, we caught you in the act. Flash—have you heard the latest— our innocent little friend Robert Upp (yes the one who went with Martha Stevens) seems to be hitting the high spots. We are told from a reliable source that he has included Rutledge in his range of activities. Elizabeth Ann Bartlett’s (May Queen)latest catch seems to be solemn Judge Swaim or so were told. It seems poor old Winny's afraid of women, especially Elizabeth Anne, so he calls on Ralph O'Dell to help him —you’ll have to get the rest of the story from the boys. S5.00 PER SHEET Flash—it seems that the boys who are going steady are stepping out occasionally—Jim Seybert has often been in the presence of a young lady slightly above high school age— we won t mention the name although we could. Why is it Lloyd Lowe never takes a date to a dance? It s not because he can t get a date, or is it, Lloyd?— chisler. Ruth Wind seems to be a girl who flirts from one to another but always we see her with a youngster (usually a freshman)—perhaps it's their in- nocence which attracts Ruth. We hear Pat Smith has a pretty good time on these speech trips. Ask him about his latest one to Iowa City —and especially the gal from that overflowing metropolis, Fairfield, Iowa (pronounced I-O-wy). Is it true that a certain young lady went dutch to the Easter Ball—now, Margaret B., don't get mad. Betty Lou Erbacher was seen lately- waiting in the rain at the stage door of the Grand Theater for Tommy Coughlin. Tommy would certainly be surprised to know what goes on behind closed doors—poor Tommy. Pauline Connelly it seems would not in the past even give an O. H. S. student a second glance; but now she seems to grab at a chance for a date with one of the local boys—why the change, kid? Ask George Simmons how it feels to change from a naive little boy to a grown man (or at least he thinks so) and begin to hit the disreputable joints—George has certainly changed the last year. And so we close another scandal column—hope you liked it—. The Shadow. We 1935 108 Features THE SPICE OF LIFE Blanche Long must have made Glenn Tozer walk back, at least to judge from the picture—what! can we believe our eyes—Ed Heavrin going to church—Gene Wulfekuhler, the strong man, holding above his head a log, in order to show Betty his strength—poor car!—the pool hall surely hasn't moved to the bank but everything indicates that—Lloyd Star and Spilman seem to be getting up in the world, one on top a bus the other a stop sign; what is this younger generation coming to—Jack Vaughn and Corinne White embrace; but I say. old fellow, it is rather indiscreet—Ruth Wind seems to be in sort of a blur, is it another boy or just the picture—don't tell me John Lee's leaning against the pool of youth especially when there's such a beautiful mermaid within the pool—Dorothy Baer leaning against a tree makes a beautiful picture—Arlene Salter in a bcarhug—Maurine Mikesh has such an innocent little smile, but then it’s life—Hugh Bell seems to be leaning on what is commonly known as the fourth dimension— Miiggs Proctor, are you trying to hide behind that beautiful school girl complexion of Marguerite Morrow —Spriggs, the boy who says seven come eleven, and oh. yes. in that same picture is George Scarle wrong end to—Jason Beck with Janet Stoltz, my! my! where's Jack W.—Don Anderson looks as if he were going to be shot as a spy, you know, brick wall-but then we can’t figure out what young Schmidt is mounted on Crowe's shoulders for—surely it's not fear.

This event in the career of any young man or woman, truly, is a commencement. Xo matter how extensive the equipment or wide the opportunities, if there is not a deep devotion to sincere effort and honest hard work, those who are in training will lack the full measure they need as they start out on their own. College is a widening out of these abilities. Those who have that advantage should realize their fortune. Those who do not. plunge immediately into the everyday competition of modern life. Regardless of which path a high school graduate takes, hard work and plenty of it is the best reinforcement to be found. Honesty in all things, reliable service, devotion to the task at hand and with self-respect his constant guide, he will go forward. Without these he will stand still or, worse, slide back.
