Douma, for many years a member of the high school faculty, has labored long and faithfully to improve our school as year after year witnessed a great increase in the growth of Ot- tumwa High. He was instrumental in securing many new and helpful innovations, such as the widely-copied stamp card system and the student plan of self-government. Frank W. Douma Therefore, in grateful acknowledgement of his steady and judicious guidance, we dedicate our 1937 Annual to Superintendent Frank W. Douma. We also dedicate our year book to our new prin- cipal, James Van Antwerp. As head coach he achieved fame for Ottumwa High in the athletic world, with three successive Little Six football championships to his credit. As a classroom teacher he has proved himself equally capable. With this dedication we wish to show our appre- ciation of Mr. Van Antwerp's untiring energy and careful adherence to the highest type of sportsman- ship and character building as coach. We wish him every success in his new position as principal of the High School. In Memoriam Roy F. Hannum For many years Roy F. Hannum devotedly served our educational organization. First as teacher, and later as principal and super- intendent, he gave all his energies to the public schools of Ottumwa. His deep sin- cerity and constant efforts on behalf of the students and their activities have won for him a place of honor in the history of our school. We dedicate this page to Miss King. Unknown to her we have put in this page in hope that it will in part express our gratitude for all the help and cooperation she has given us as Advisor for the Annual, even though her new duties as Dean of Women demand much of her time. m SCHOOL W ITH the establishment of the first crude school in 1635, the development ol educational America was begun. To the schoolmasters and school-mistresses who toiled bravely generation after generation to preserve the flame of education—even when it died down to a spark—we owe the success of our present school systems. But American education has gone far beyond its original aim. To declare that a school is a place where only book learning is taught is no longer wholly correct. It has become an institution not only for those who are desirous of advancing formal knowledge, but has widened its scope to allow those who are interested in sports, dramatics, music and other arts to pursue their ambitions yithin its doors. Ottumwa High School has tried to follow this modern method by mapping out a program of extra-cirricular activities that will serve every member of the student body in some capacity. We believe one of the best opportunities given to us for learning the art of getting along with other people is through our organizations. V. McElroy. C. Lowcnbcrg. V. McLain Superintendent L'rank Douma. J. Wormhoudt. Mrs. Graham. F. Raney. C. Evans (Not in picture—E. Wulfckuhlcr) Board of Education The school board is the foundation upon which the structure of education—our education—rests. Despite many obstacles this group has succeeded in making the organization of our school as nearly perfect as is possible. These friends of ours have brought about many improvement, and have given us many new opportunities through their ceaseless effort, unselfish service, and real interest in our welfare and future. For all this they ask no praise and receive no reward except, possibly, the satisfaction that a job well done brings in its wake. It is up to us, then, to have them feel satisfied that the time and attention they so generously lavish on us is well spent and worth their while. We, as the debtors, can make adequate repayment only if we live up to their expectations of us as better students and citizens. It has been the cooperation and backing of these silent but ever present friends that has helped us to gain recognition as an outstanding school of the state. At this time, when we pay sincere tribute to those who have aided us in the past and are con- tinuing to do so in the present, we give you the recognition and full-hearted appre- ciation of our grateful faculty and student body. To put it mildly—we thank you! Page 15 Administration J. F. VAN ANTWERP. B. A.. M. A. SELMA G. AAS. B. M. Principal Music FLORENCE BORRUSC1L B. A. English LOIS KING. B. A.

The Student Council The Student Council is government of the students, for the students, by the students. Through this group the democracy of the school is maintained, for through self- government all students have an equal and common voice in the control of the affairs that interest them. The aim of the Student Council is to make the student self-directing by developing his qualities of leadership and initiative and giving him a clear perception of the functions of democracy. Members are elected, fourteen in all, under supervision of council members from all four classes. They are elected for a term of one year. To be chosen a member of this organization is a high honor, one of the highest the school affords, and can well be looked upon as a worthy goal by all students. An Honor Study Hall with no teacher in charge but supervised by a member of the council is one of the functions sponsored by the Student Council. Another function is Council Court, with the president of the Council presiding as judge at the student trial of those who have violated the laws made by the Council. The reserve system is also a branch of the Student Council. The hall monitors are elected from each of the advisory groups and are responsible to the council.

Many students who find it impossible to go home for lunch have found our cafeteria a great asset. A variety of nourishing food is served daily at prices com- paratively low. Even those who do not purchase their lunches have the opportunity of eating in the dining room. In addition to the large number of students who use it every day, many teachers take advantage of this service. We also use the cafeteria for other purposes. The room is large enough to provide ample space for the more extensive programs. The junior class uses it for its annual jamboree, and numerous clubs have used it for their entertainments. The cafeteria is run on a non-profit basis. Excellent food is served at the lowest possible price. To an efficient corps of engineers goes the credit for keeping not only our school but also the grounds and athletic field in excellent condition. Throughout the school days and during vacations as well this staff paints, cleans, and makes the repairs that are necessary to the maintenance of the building and its equipment. Underneath the busy school life that occupies the student, is this competent force of engineers whose responsibility it is to keep the school in the same state of cleanliness that we see it in every day. Their job is difficult and long, but they always do it well. Their unceasing labor is responsible for the beauty and cleanliness that make Ottumwa High School one of the finest schools in the state. The Argus 1937 Page 22 PEOPLE F ROM the choosing of a class yell when it is a disorganized mass of freshmen to the singing of its Swan Song' in chapel when it is composed of serious seniors, a class is filled with activities. As a Senior Class, it is ready to place a seal on the finished letter of its high school career—a letter that it has taken four years to write. The climax of four years endeavor has arrived, and every Senior makes the most of it. hollowing in the steps of the Seniors are the Juniors. The title of upper classmen is given to another promising group, and it must settle down to deserve the name. Just at the midway mark are the Sophomores. What prospects lie before them! A whole world of fresh accomplishments, new friendships, and good times are opening up. Freshmen! They are laying the foundation of the record which they hope will give them membership to Torch Club when they will Ik- upperclassmen. Let them carry on until that honor is attained! Senior Class Song (Snug to tune of ’’Shipmates forever”) Schoolmates stand together, All for O. H. S. In fair or stormy weather We won’t forget we won't forget our school. We have stood together While the time's gone by. In spite of trials and tribulations. We have made our graduation From Ottumwa High. Storming, crashing, here we come, ''37” On the run. Always for Ottumwa We will ever be. Always for Ottumwa We’ve stood the test and Done our best for thee. Now we are to leave you As the time draws nigh, You can bet we won't forget The friends and pals that we have met In Ottumwa High. Storming, crashing, here we go, ”37” Yea Bo! Page 26 DAVE CRAMBLIT MISS STRANAHAN WARREN I.ARSON GERTRUDE DAVIS JOHN SHEA SENIOR CLASS President- -Dave Cram but Vice President -Warren Lawson Secreta ry—GERTR ude Davis Treasurer -John Shea As the members of this Senior Class march down the aisle to receive their diplomas, it will be with heavy hearts. They will be able to look back over four successful years of high school life and really say that they have tried. The new friendships, as well as the old ones which they have formed, will be retained even after that march. They have carried the torch as high as it has ever been carried and the student body is proud to have been so closely associated with this successful class. The Senior Class has been fortunate in having as their leaders officers who have led them brilliantly throughout the the past years. Each one has been efficient and capable and has represented his class exceedingly well. One of the highest honors in high school is the privilege of being an officer of the Senior Class ami we are confident that it has meant a great deal to these officers. Miss Esther Stranahan has seen the Senior C lass through all their accomplishments, since they were a Freshman body of two hundred sitting on the incline and in the balconies. Under her direction they have done well all the tasks that came their way. Storming, crashing Here we come '37 on the run. Page 27 Senior Officers The Argus 1937 AR THUR ABINGTON Dramatic Club 2-3-4.

O H U CARNE I' MAPEL JEANNE ROGERS BARBARA SMITH MISS MITCHELL MAX CONNELLY JUNIOR CLASS President—Max Connelly Vice President—JlIANNK ROGERS Secretary—Barbaka Smith Treasurer—Garnet Mabel Due to the untiring efforts in each one of their projects during the three preceding years of their high school careers, the members of the Junior Class have come through with Hying colors. Led by their competent leaders, backed whole-heartedly by their classmates, they have established an example of success in each venture. Miss Jeanette Mitchell has been the Junior Class advisor since their first semester in Ottumwa High. In addition to her regular classes of typewriting and shorthand she has efficiently served to introduce new methods of student entertainment. .She- lias initiated many cutside projects, such as the lecture of Amelia l-arhart, for the benefit of the Junior Class. The Junior Class will soon become a Senior group and is well equipped both to carry on its excellent beginning and to retain the high standards of former seniors. A responsibility will fall upon students whom we are confident will be very capable of handling all situations as they may arise. In sports and honors The highest we rate We’re the class of ’38.

Their extra-curricular activities as well as their studious attitudes have- shown us that here is an 'up and coming sophomore class. Many of these students are becoming daily more prominent in dramatics, debate and athletics and show signs of being quite capable of leading the parade. Before them looms the goal of previous junior and senior classes. There are so many thrilling aims to accomplish before the end of their high school careers; new friendships, social affiliations, and increase average of knowledge, all go to make the next two years look very inviting. We are sure that we will not be disappointed in the Sophomore Class. Beairng the standard set before them they will Ik- able to attain a new perfection in every prospective venture. Miss Marie Schick has led the Sophomore Class through the roughest part of their career. She has worked tirelessly on our All School Parties and has proven to us that her advisees are as competent and reliable as any of the other uppedassmen. Their responsibility and willingness to work have earned them laurels from the whole- student body. Pep and loyalty We combine WcTc- the class of '39.” Page 53 Sophomore Officers Row 1—J. Crane. D.

They are welcoming this incomparable journey into the most promising years of their lives with open eyes and ' record beating” hearts. Even though they are the newest of our classmates they are certainly not to be scoffed at. They are making headway, maybe a little slowly, but we must remember that we were not able to do much better in our first years. It does take a certain amount of time to become accustomed to our school system and we compliment the Freshmen on their speed in adapting themselves to our program. There will always be a certain place in our curriculum for the oncoming Freshmen. One of our newest benefits for the Freshmen is the introduction of a class in Orientation which was started just a year ago. This enables the new classman to meet once a week with others in his own realm and to discuss with an adviser the field which he will pursue. Miss Ocea Rawlings is the competent and willing adviser of the Freshman Class. Classes may come Classes may go But the best class of all Is 1-9-4-0!” Page 57 Freshman Officers Row 1—J. Cummings. V.

The Argus 1937 Page 62 A R JTj XTRA-CURRICULAR activities in Ottumwa High School have been aided this year by the Torch Club. It has devised a successful system by which students who are failing in their studies may be helped, during the eighth period, by other students who are proficient in the same studies. In this way the students have more time for clubs. This question, long-debated, has often come up: Are there too many extra-curricular activities in the high schools of today? Though the answer to this is purely personal, we do feel that these activities are really beneficial in preparing the student for later life—and we do enjoy them—don't we? Our plays, our operettas, and all other forms of entertainment put on by students arc the work of cur clubs and societies. They organize the students, discover their talents, and give them a chance to display their abilities in various performances, such as Open House Night, High School Night, operettas and plays. Everyone can excel in something. Our motto is, A club for everyone, and everyone in a club!” The Argus 1937 MR. NEWELL MR. LISTER MR. TIEDE COACHES Coach Newell was elected to fill the position of Coach Van Antwerp, who was appointed principal. Coach Newell is a Wapello County bey. born in Agency. He attended the Agency High School and was a star in basketball, the only sport in the school. On enrolling at Iowa Wesleyan, he became a three star man. He was an end on the football team, a guard on the basketball team, and a star hurdler. He war. a member of Sigma Phi Epsilon, a social fraternity, and Iota Phi. an honorary fraternity. He started coaching at Fenton. Iowa, where he not only was coach but also principal, and taught half of the subjects in the school. He was coach at Eddyville for one year before he came to Ottumwa. The vacancy left by Coach Newell when he was promoted to head coach was promptly filled by a very capable man, H. Eugene Lister. Mr. Lister is also an Iowa boy. born near Goldfield, Iowa. He attended the high school at Goldfield, but took no active part in outside activities. He won his major letter in football at Monmouth College in Illinois. Beside being a member of the M club, he also was a dramatic star. He was awarded his Master of Arts degree in Education at the University of Iowa. Here he became a member of Phi Delta Kappa. His first position was at Monmouth High School in Illinois. One member of the faculty, who is seldom associated with athletics although an important factor in it, is Mr. Tiede. He efficiently takes care of all the business matters, such as ticket sales, meals, buying of equipment and scheduling of games. When Don Newell took over the task of coaching the Bulldogs this season, he was faced with the difficult problem of organizing a new team. In addition to this problem, he was handicapped by the fact that he did not have sufficient material with which to work, and that not once was he able to send the team he desired onto the field because of injuries to one player or another. In spite of these handicaps Coach Newell whipped into shape a team that at times looked like the championship teams of the three previous seasons. On the whole, statistics prove that the play of the Bulldogs was not as poor as the scores might indicate. Page 67 Athletics FOOTBALL Captain John Wey In a blazing sun of 101°, Ottumwa's bulldogs sweated to a 6-6 tie with Albia's Demons in the opening encounter of the season. The play of both teams was very ragged as a result of the intense heat and only two weeks' practice for the game. Wow! True to their names the Davenport Blue Devils turned on the heat against the Bulldogs to win by the over- whelming score of 32 to 0. Coach Day of Davenport sub- stituted players quite frequently because of his tremendous re- serve power. Again the play of the Bulldogs proved ragged, and practically the entire game was played in Ottumwa terri- tory. With a complete change from the sweltering heat of the pre- vious games to a drenching rain. Coach Newell’s Bulldogs played their first conference game against Muscatine, only to lose 6-0. The touchdown resulted from a fumbled punt by Ot- tumwa’s safety man from the one-yard line. However, it was generally conceded that the Ot- tumwans outplayed the Muskies, losing only because their re- peated drives were thwarted with merely inches to go. Ottumwa played its first night game of the season at Washing- ton but was defeated 2-0. Row 1—I.. Barker. B. Bradford. M. Connelly. J. Curran Row 2—J. Mulcahy. J. Rabenold. G. Scarle. J.

The lack-luster way in which the Bulldogs per- formed justified their defeat. Acting as host to a strong Ft. Madison eleven, Ottumwa's team finally clicked and sent the league leaders home with a 7-0 defeat. The odds were piled up against the Bulldogs, but they came through with the biggest upset in years. Connelly ac- counted for the touchdown in the last quarter. It was an Ot- tumwa victory from beginning to end and the Bulldogs were within an inch of a touchdown as the half ended. In the next encounter at Mt. Pleasant, Ottumwa trounced the weakest Panther team in the history of the Little Six to the tune of 20-0. F.vcn so the play of the Bulldogs was nothing to write home about throughout most of the game. Shea, Me- grath and Rabenold made the pointers. The following week Ottumwa entertained the Keokuk Indians and they battled to a scoreless tie. Ottumwa had several op- portunities to score but the strong Indian line thwarted their attempts inside the ten-yard line. As in previous games, the Bull- Page 69 Athletics Football Squad Row 1—R.

Seemingly unable to keep fighting under pressure, the Bulldogs again lost 12-0. This was the first time the Bulldogs showed a tendency to let down” under fire. The powerful Greyhounds then went on to win the conference. The battle of the ages! Coach Gluenkin's Trojans came down from Fairfield to renew the ancient rivalry with Ottumwa, but this time the Bulldogs were at the bottom end of the score, losing 19-0. Again the play of the Bulldogs was unimpressive to Ottumwa football fans, as the Ottumwans steadily lost ground against the Trojans. Ottumwa played its last game against Oskaloosa, another ancient rival, on Armistice Day. In spite of the fact that they lost 20-6, the Bulldogs played their best game of the year, and most of the battle was fought in Osky territory. Extensive passing by both teams made it the most thrill-packed game of the year. A blocked punt put the Bulldogs within scoring distance for their touchdown. The Argus 1937 Page 70 L. Burns. J. Cresap. F. Cordos. D. Gilroy. K. Reoscman. B. Chrisjohn Cross Country This year's Cross Country squad consisted of nine men. Ed McDermott, the only letter man returning, was dropped from the squad because of illness. Don Gilroy, a member of the two-mile relay team, was the best prospect. Gilroy developed into a fast two-miler, winning places in every meet. This is Don's last year. Lawrence Burns, a good miler in his Sophomore days, became Newell's second choice, and in most of the meets, he finished directly behind Gilroy. Lawrence returns next year. Kenneth Recseman, only a freshman and a good prospect, does not return, however. Ottumwa High wishes Kenneth luck in the future when he is running for a Dcs Moines school. The fourth member of this year's team was little Kenny McDermott, Ed's younger brother. Although he was handicapped by having to deliver papers, he never failed to take a workout and some times had to take it after dark. Kenny will return next year. Francis Cordes, the final member of the team, is only a Junior and will return next year to help bring more points in for the Red and While Cross Country team. The sejuad was composed of Ed McDermott, Don Gilroy, Lawrence Burns, Kenneth Reescman, Kenny McDermott, Francis Cordes, Williard Hossack, Bob Chrisjohn and Jack Cresap. The team participated in four meets during the season. It lost two dual meets with Oskaloosa, the state champs, and placed second to Oskaloosa, in the Oskaloosa Invitational. In the final counting of the State Meet at Iowa City, the team was dropped from a tie for second place to third place. Page 71 Athletics BASKETBALL The Ottumwa Bulldogs opened the 1936-1937 season with a defeat of 32-25 at the hands of Centerville. Noble Ferren, a 255-pound gentle- man nicknamed Tiny , tipped in 19 points for the victors. Ottumwa then acted as host to the Albia quintet and neatly handed them a 25-14 defeat, liven though they gained a victory, the play cf the Bulldogs proved rather ragged. Our team then travelled to Burlington to open the Little Six Conference against one of the strongest teams in the circuit. The Burlington Greyhounds won their race by 29-23 in a rough scrap. The second Little Six game was wen from Ft. Madison with a score of 28-22. The team showed its first signs of beginning to click in this game. The first real thriller of the season came at Fairfield when the Ottumwa five forced the Trojans into an overtime period before giving in IS-16. Marvin Perry of Fair- field zipped the winning basket from mid-court during the over- time period. In the next encounter, the height of the Muscatine team proved just a little too much for the Bulldogs. They gave the Muskies an unexpected battle, but their late drive proved futile and the score ended at 20-17. The Bulldogs then reaped their second Little Six victory from the Washington Demons by a score cf 27-20. It was an Ottumwa victory all the way through. In the following game Ot- tumwa completely overwhelmed a weak Mt. Pleasant five on the Bulldog's home court. Dewey Hawbaker was the whole show for the visiting team although the score was 30-19. The fact that Eddie Buyack, Bob Williams, Max Salter and Don Thompson were making their last appearance for an Ot tumwa team made the game with. Keokuk even more ex- citing as the Bulldogs sneaked in a 27-26 victory. Old Man Graduation having B. Bradford. E. Buyack. M. Connelly D. Marshall. V. Orman. M.

With Joe Orman the only member of the original sejuad left, a team alternating AI Jones, Johnny Shea, Max Connelly, Bob Me Beth and Dave Marshall was organized. In the battle with Burlington they lost 37-25. Another thriller was played at Ft. Madison where Ottumwa nosed out the Bloodhounds 23-22. Lanky Al Jones scored the winning basket. Fairfield practically walked away with their return game here, winning by a score of 38-18. The Trojans played a brand cf ball that was hard to beat. The Fairfield game was followed by another scorching defeat at the hands of Muscatine. The score was 30-19. After this the Muskies went on to win the Little Six Championship. Things brightened somewhat for the Bulldogs when they toppled Washington 46-13. This and previous games of the second semester uncovered two great assets to the team in the finding” of Dave Marshall and Max Connelly. A surprise attack by the Mt. Pleasant quintet put Ottumwa on the short end of the 27-24 score. Hawbaker of the Mt. Pleasant team later won the Little Six individual scoring championship. Seeking revenge from Center- ville, the Bulldogs nipped them 39-36, although Ferren made 21 points for the losers. Orman and Shea put in the winning points for Ottumwa. Ottumwa led the whole game until the last few minutes, when it was 36-all. In the last game of the cur- rent season Ottumwa made one of the poorest showings of the year by dropping the game with Keokuk 36-24 . Miller of Keo- kuk led the Chiefs with 18 points. Ottumwa opened the sectional tournament at Bloomfield by drawing a bye which resulted in playing Bloomfield. Al- PAGE 73 Athletics Basketball Squad Row 1—Kenneth Barker.

Marshall, however, played his usual outstanding game and counted IS points. The district tournament was held in the O. H. S. gym. In Ottumwa’s first game they faced a Mt. Pleasant team that had won its sectional meet by a surprise defeat of Fairfield. In a fast, well-played game the Bulldogs came out with a 22-20 victory. Marshall, who was not even a regular at the first of the season, again pulled the game out of the fire by dropping in 17 points. Ottumwa ended its basketball season by dropping the game in the semi-finals to Burlington, 23-lb. The game was anyone's victory until the closing minutes of the game when the Burlington jinx kept Ottumwa from scoring. Burlington, however, was beaten by Centerville in the finals.

Ottumwa’s 1936 track team had a rather meager season. L;tck of material made it difficult for Mr. Newell to organize fast relay teams, although the two mile relay team composed of Gilroy, Shoemaker, Schmidt and Wcy was one of the most successful units of the season. Lanky Dominic Della Vcdova also made a name for himself in O. H. S. track history as an individual star at throwing the discus. The Ottumwa squad went to Oskaioosa to compete in the Osky Relays only to end up in eighth place with a grand total of six points, placing third in two events. In the Little Six Meet, Ottumwa came through with a better showing by placing fourth with 5 1 1-5 points. Bob Shoemaker and Tom Schmidt finished with surprising second places in the mile run and the 880 yard run, respectively. Dominic Della Vcdova threw the discus a distance of one hundred twenty-six feet and seven inches to set a new Little Six record in that event. Another first was gained by Cliff Gardner in one division of the -1-10 yard dash. In the District Meet, Ottumwa again placed fourth with a total of 33 1-3 points. Della Vedova pulled through a first in the discus. Ottumwa finished eighth in the Ft. Madison Relays and obtained no first places. Della Vedova was the only Ottumwan to enter the State Meet. Here he placed fifth. A first in the 4-10 dash by Johnny Wcy and two other first in the medley relay and the one-mile relay helped Ottumwa to place third in the Little Six Indoor Meet with 55 points.

Ottumwa's golf team was reorganized for the 1936 season because most of the former players were lest through graduation. Their first meet was a dual meet with Fairfield. This was lost on Fairfield's course. The team then traveled to Muscatine for the annual Little Six Meet, in which they placed second. Following this a second dual meet with Fairfield was held at the Ottumwa municipal course. Again the Fairfield quartet conquered the Bulldog team. The last trial of the golfers was in the state tournament played at the Woodside course in Des Moines. The name, Woodside, was literally true of the course, and the Ottumwa team was rather bewildered by the numerous trees, having been accustomed to a comparatively open course. Rain also made playing difficult anti the Bulldogs forfeited after the first round. A newly organized sport in the Ottumwa High School is tennis. The only matches held in the fall of 1936 were with Oskaloosa. One match was played there and the ether here. The Oskaloosa team outpointed the Bulldogs to win both times. As. yet. tennis has not become a major sport and the players arc obliged to pay their own expenses when playing out of town. A manly physique is not required of a tennis player, so this sport leaves a wide field for those wishing to try for the team. Mr. Snyder supervised the team in the spring, and Mr. Hamley took it over during the fall. If enough interest were shown, it might become a major sport. The Argus 1937 Page 76 Kmv I V I'iKlicr. II.

It is possible to earn these letters by participating in the noon contests. These contests are in basketball, touch football, boxing, wrestling and baseball. After winning a letter the boy is entitled to present his application to the I Club which holds its meetings once a month. Since this club is entirely honorary, the members are exempt from dues. In the first meeting of the new year, officers are installed. The I” Club members have the privilege of being ushers for our home basketball games. Intramural sports promote sportsmanship and are of real service to the school. Intramural sports are open to all boys in high school except those who are members of the varsity squads. Boys who are members of intramural teams pledge themselves to help promote recreational sports for the entire student body. Intramural officials hope that these games will help to develop boys into varsity men. The games arc played during the noon hour with student referees, scorekeepers and timekeepers. The winners are given Intramural Letters and invited to join the I Club. In addition to the feature Intramural contests in basketball, football and baseball, boxing anti wrestling bouts are promoted. Intramural sports of this kind were introduced to this school by Mr. Snyder, who is the faculty member in charge. Page 77 Athletics Kow 1 I- Walker. I., While. M. I . •«•(1(1111, I . I “lorn� .

The Girls' Athletic Association is not a social club but has for its members girls who are interested in such sports as baseball, basketball and volleyball. These girls are also interested in creating and developing a wholesome spirit of sportsmanship among themselves and students. The aim of each girl is to secure enough points to obtain the letter which entitles her to membership in the O” Club. The goal is 500 points. She achieves this goal by doing work in several divisions such as health, individual activities, group activities, leadership and sportsmanship. By this system of points any girl who is a G. A. A. member of any high school may transfer her points to any school within the state. The Girls' O Club is the inner circle of the G. A. A., and membership in it is the highest honor to be obtained in Girls' Athletics. This organization was founded by Miss Maude Norris in 192-1 and has since been very prominent and active in our school. To get her first O , a girl must have five hundred points to her credit. She can earn these points through individual activities, group activities, sportsmanship, leadership and health. The chief purposes of this club arc- to encourage more interest in girls' sports and to create a better spriit of sportsmanship among the students. If a member ot the Girls’ O Club earns five hundred additional points, she is entitled to a state G. A. A. letter. The Argus 1937 PAGE 78 IJ v I I,. .Mc.N'hiiht. I. tiii-ri.T. It. K. Jon.s.

Tryouts are held at the beginning of each semester, and only the best swimmers are chosen. Meetings are held in the pool every two weeks under the supervision of Miss Davidson, swimming instructor. The standards of this club have always been very high. The most noteworthy accomplishments of the Shark Club are the water pageants which are presented each semester. In them the members demonstrate their skill and their ability to cooperate. The clever lighting and costumes and attractive decorations always bring out the full effect of these pageants. The officers: President—Lucille Hillcman; Vice President Madeleine Rupp, Secre- tary and Treasurer—Betty Ellen Jones. The water pageant is the outstanding project given each year by the Shark Club. This demonstration of aquatic ability climaxes the year’s work and is directed by their leader. Miss Davidson, with the help and cooperation of the entire Shark Club. Naturally this event is one to which everyone looks forward with the greatest of pleasure. Such a feeling of enthusiasm and cooperation tends to make the pageant a bigger and better success each year. Something new and different in diving and humorous stunts, color schemes, drills and formations and, above all, smooth and Hawless swimming may be expected each year. All of which shows continuous and ardent practice and capable training. These events help to make up a fine exhibition of skilled swimmers. Page 79 Athletics Salter. Chambers. Smith. Davis.

The Pep Club, in cooperation with Mr. Snyder, chairman of the Faculty Pep Committee, presents pep chapels prior to games, tournaments, etc., to arouse enthusiasm and pep for the forthcoming event. At these chapels the student body is supposed to inspire the team and assure them of the support that is so necessary to spur them cn to victory. Chapels on a competitive basis have been given by the various clubs of the school this year. The club presenting the most pep-inspiring program wins the prize, five dollars, donated by the Athletic Department. Various stunts of a humorous nature arc presented and an Ottumwa business man or faculty member usually gives a short talk. The main object behind these chapels is, of course, to create more enthusiasm. Without it. nothing can be accomplished. The team needs all the backing it can get from the student body. The task of leading the school rooters is assigned to our five cheer-leaders: Zella Smith, John Wilcox. Jack Chambers, David Davis and Jack Salters. The more pep—the better the team.

The name. Torch Club, was bestowed upon this organization. Membership in it is the highest honor which can be con- ferred upon any student. Students are selected from more than one thousand upper-classmen by the faculty and a committee of fellow classmates, who thoroughly examine the record of each applicant. The four fields in which any candidate is judged are: scholarship, leadership, character and service. The emblems of Torch Club are a keystone and a flaming torch. At the base of the keystone are placed these letters: S. I.. C. S„ which represent the four purposes of this society. The keystone symbolizes the firmness of our education: the torch stands for the passing of time which sees generations of students lauded for scholarship, leadership, character and service, and who finally select successors to carry on these virtues. Scholarship is the power cf the mind to dispel ignorance and superstition through scientific investigation of the truth. Any Torch Club member must have dis- played his ability in his classroom studies so well that he is in the upper one-fourth of his class. Leadership is the power of personality that blazes the trail for man's upward climb. Any high school activity needs a responsible leader, who is not afraid of hard work and who has initiative enough to promote better standards of citizenship and character in high school and later life. Character sets the seal of righteousness upon every endeavor. It includes numerous other qualities of per- sonality. such as honesty, reliability, promptness, achieve- ment and morality, all of which are required in the ripening of our minds into the maturity of 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. The willingness to do any deed which will better the school or through the school help the com- munity comes under this caption. There must be a willing- ness to be ready to do a job promptly and thoroughly, as well as accurately. Courtesy to our underclassmen and advisers is also encouraged, for through it, greater possi- bilities for service are opened up. With these aims forever in the mind of each student, we honor, as symbolic of achievement, all those who are annually elected into Torch Club.

It is cur sincere desire that this volume will preserve many happy memories of your school days in Ottumwa High. As it is your book, we have tried to include in it those things which will serve to remind you of your best years in high school. We, the staff, are indebted to Miss King, our new adviser, for her untiring efforts in making this Annual a success; tc Miss Grieder, for her criticisms and corrections; and to many others—advertisers, photographer, engraver and printer, who have made possible the publication of this book. The student body also has provided us with material and inspiration for which we arc grateful. This year we have tried to bring our Annual closer to the student. We have introduced a new arrangement of events and our photography this year excels that of all past years. The humorous side of our school life has been illustrated and each organization is represented. We hope that not one branch of school life has been omitted. It is the desire of each staff to improve its year book. We have tried to make our book one that will surpass all previous publications and leave a lasting impression on all its readers. We believe that this 1937 Argus Annual represents the higher ideals of school life. We liojx: that you will receive enjoyment in reviewing this copy, and we hope, too, that it will create an increased loyalty to our school. With such an achievement, we shall feel that our book has accomplished its purpose. Page 85 Activities Row 1—Fi. L. Jones. C. Glover. I.. Hilleman. M. Rupp. A. Rutledge. I.. Meagher. Row 2—M.

F oster THE ARGUSEERS The Arguseers is a group composed of journalists to which is delegated the task of publishing The Argus Daily and The Argus News. It is under the guidance of Mr. Norris. ’The Argus Daily is distributed to each advisory group every morning. It contains all the news of the day, including special meetings of various clubs and ether items of importance. Semi-monthly, The Arguseers print The Argus News. This paper includes editorials, sports reviews, feature articles, news reports, scandal columns , a calendar of events, and an advertising section. Included in its six to eight pages are any number of interesting stories to be read by the students of the high school. During the last semester this paper has been increased in size and under its new editor has become a high ranking paper in comparison with those of other high schools. The Arguseers stall also maintains a bulletin board with the current news.

This is one of the largest organizations in the high school, with a membership of approximately 150. Each member must make ten points to remain in the club. These points may be secured by working on crews for plays or by displaying acting ability. The candidates arc required to undergo a tryout which includes a pantomime, a selection from any written book or story, and a short reading. These tryouts are judged by the Players Club members, and the best applicants are admitted to Dramatic Club. The Players' Club is an organization within the Dramatic Club. To all those who have done outstanding work and have earned seventy-five points, the Players' Club is open. It consists of approximately twenty students and serves as a goal for all who are interested in the production, as well as the acting, of a play. It is the Dramatic Club that has made valuable additions to the equipment of the Ottumwa High School stage. The club has purchased a new cyclorama, with the help of the Board of Education, a border of baby spotlights, and numerous additions to the flat scenery. The ticket sales have provided the club with ample appropriations for these purchases. The officers of Dramatic Club are: President ROBERT KaUFMANN Vice President—CONSTANCE Cil OVF.R Secretary- Ann Rutledge Treasurer The officers of Players’ Club are: Nyta Latimer President— Madeleine Rupp Vice President—I.i.oyd Starr Secretary and Treasurer-Lichee Hll.l.EMAN The Argus 1937 Page 88 DRAMATIC CLUB Row 1—E.

I hey arc divided again into two sections, one for the girls and one for the boys. I he winners of the local boys' contest were: Dramatic: Lloyd Starr; Oratorical: Jesse Lari Miller; Humorous: Robert Kaufman. In the Iowa Nine Meet held here, Kaufman placed first and Starr placed third. The winners of the local girls' contest were: Dramatic: Ann Rutledge; Oratorical: Lucille Hilleman; Humorous: Jeanette Brody. In the Girls' Iowa Nine meet at Iowa City, Jeanette Brody placed first and Ann Rutledge placed third. I lie second place winners of the local contest were entered in the county meet at Lddyville. All three contestants: David Davis, Dramatic; Margaret Ruth Morrissey, Oratorical; and Garnet MapeT, Humorous, succeeded in carrying off three first places. One of the most interesting organizations in Ottumwa High School is the Debate Club. This club has many aims, but its chief purpose is to help its debate team. Under the coaching of Mr. Hamley, the members of the team and the club learn to overcome any self-consciousness or nervousness that may affect them while giving a speech. They also learn how to assemble their information about the topic they arc- going to debate on and how to deliver their speech in a confident and convincing manner. Besides profiting by their experience as debaters, the members of the club have many good times as well. Debates with visiting teams are frequent; and Ottumwa High School’s fine reputation for hospitality is due partly to these activities of the Debate club. The Argus 1937 Page 92 Organizations Kow 1 K.

They are reliable and may be depended upon to render their services at all pep chapels, football games and basket- ball tournaments. Anyone who is interested in music and who is able to play a band instrument is eligible to join. This year the band, in conjunction with the orchestra, has sponsored a tag sale . The members sold tags which enabled them to pay for their trip to the state music contest. I he tags served as admission tickets to a concert in which both orchestra and band participated. This concert was well received and afforded good music entertainment for the audience. The orchestra, directed by Mr. Dayton, holds a high place in the esteem of all those who attend our numerous programs, in which it takes a prominent part. It takes a noticeable part in Open House, High School Night, and also between acts in each of our plays. hike the band, membership in the orchestra is open to anyone who plays an orchestral instrument and wishes to become a member. Within the organization of the orchestra proper, there are several small groups. These trios and quartettes provide entertainment for the various outside clubs and meetings. All of these units promote musical interest throughout the school and city. The Argus 1937 Page 94 How 1 A. Stagnor, .1. Wolir. It. Saillor. 15. Sallor. I � . Simpson. I . Kol« hum. I!. No I son.

They put on two operettas every year, play a big part in the Christmas Pageant, enter the music contest and make numerous public appearances. As far as the mixed chorus is concerned, the two operettas and the contest are the most important. Both of these require a great deal of hard work by both the cast and the choruses before the show is ready for production. The members of the choruses are carefully selected from the regular classes of musical instruction for intensive training several weeks before the production is staged. The mixed quartette is one of several select groups that are chosen each year from the many fine voices in the music department. The selection of voices for these various groups is very difficult because each voice must blend perfectly with the others, and not at any time should any one voice stand out above the others. After the groups have been chosen, they spend the rest of the year working on many different types of music. The mixed quartette is composed of a soprano, an alto, a tenor anil a baritone. Under the skillful direction of Miss Aas—the head of our music depart- ment—these are trained until they are able to harmonize together easily and well. The boys’ quartette also is one of the special groups which is organized in con- junction with the various other select units. Page 95 Organizations How 1 15. Saltor. I.. Klllott. II. ISraKK. K.

Numerous divisions come under the title Small Vocal Groups”. They are: Girls' Quartette, Junior Girls' Sextette and Senior Girls' Quartette. These groups sing for various programs in the city and for school entertainments. Two of them, the Girls’ Quartette and the Boys' Quartette, were entered in the Music Contest Series in March. 'loo much cannot be said for the accompanists, who are essential to the success of the groups. The Art Club, whose adviser is Miss Daniels, was organized in order to create and develop a better understanding and a keener appreciation of different phases of art. The members of this club are art students and other pupils who are interested in promoting and furthering the ideals and aims of the club. The standards as to rules and regulations concerning members and officers of the club are high. In order to be president of this society the student chosen must have had at least three semesters of art training, while all other officers, vice-president, secretary and treasurer must have had at least two semesters of art and qualify on general principles. Meetings are held once each month. The Argus 1937 PAGE 96 M. Wisdom. I!. Bar Holds. V. I'lmml.ors. I,. Itow 1 Tra.v. I nixp-it. Iiitfluun. Kllloii. M«- «'lure. Buff, Schorl'll, Slarr. ('olcnian.

The Collegium Latinum is organized on the plan of the old Roman government� and its purpose is to promote a fuller appreciation of Roman life and literature. The aim of the programs planned for the club is to show the human side of Roman life and literature in the days of Caesar and other great men of his time. This is done by giving an interesting presentation, at each meeting, of the customs, daily life, legends or traditions of ancient Rome. Each new member of the club is required to learn the motto, the Latin Club song, the passwords and also the various Latin terms of the officers. Through the programs of the club, the student of Latin is given a wider background for class-room work. Danzas—bullfights—fiestas—trips through Spain -Spanish shops—gay senoritas! These and many other interesting and exciting things are part of the background of the Spanish Club. Everyone is interested in such a fascinating and romantic country as Spain—but who could be more interested than the student who perhaps at one time or another will have a chance to visit this famed land of roses, mellow art and white mantillas? That is why this club is organized. Its purpose is to promote a better understanding of customs, manners and life in Spain. This is done through cor- respondence with other Spanish students, and through talks given by world travelers or inhabitants of the twenty-one Spanish speaking republics of the Americas or Spain.

At present, the member- ship of this organization consists of thirty-five boys who desire to uphold these principles. Besides the dances, an annual Big Brother banquet is conducted for the poor grade school pupils, at which they receive gifts. For the first time in this high school a Student Conference was sponsored last spring by the Hi-Y for the purpose ot aiding students in solving every day problems which might be important to them. A general assembly was held at which students could ask the speaker, a minister from Des Moines, any question they wished. Private sessions were also held for asking advice on more personal problems. The members of the printing club are printing students who have had at least two semesters of printing. A new merit system has recently been adopted by which pins, guards and numerals arc given for those doing extra work. For working extra hours, fifty points are given toward a pin. Twenty points for accuracy in their work, anti ten points each for dependability, attendance at meetings and being an officer in the club, total the one hundred points necessary for a pin. Guards, A for Apprentice, J for Journeyman and P for Printer, are received for fifty, one hundred and two hundred points respectively. The highest award possible is the numeral given to those- earning additional points to the two hundred and to the president of the club. The Argus 1937 Page 98 ltow I L, Swift, II. Kulili� , It.

Its personal aim, however, is to know how to select the most desirable breed of chickens, how to house, feed anil manage the selected birds the most profitable way. Also by demonstrations and by local and county exhibits, the members endeavor to promote a wider interest in their program. Any boy or girl in the high school may join who agrees to carry on a project and see it through the year according to the program and with the help of Mr. Troeger. Members are elected each semester. Last semester the officers were President— Ralph Farrington, Vice President—Howard Ruble, Secretary—Floyd Edmund anil Treasurer—Hubert Stevenson. A popular new club which has been formed this year is the Science Club. Its members arc those students who have studied or arc studying any form of science- Chemistry, Physics or Biology. Members of the club make interesting scientific experi- ments at their meetings which are held during the eighth period every two weeks. The club invites outstanding townspeople who arc in any way connected with science to give talks. Many students are joining this new club because of its ability to educate so interestingly. The purpose of the club is to discuss new advances and discoveries in the vast field of science. The officers are: President—Karl Hirlingi: r Vice President—Jesse Earl Miller Secretary and Treasurer—Milton Patti.RSON Re porter— lire, i: n i- Shob i: r Sponsors—Mr. Alton and Mr. Tai.lman Organizations PAGE 99 .1.

The Home Economics Club consists of all students enrolled in all departments of domestic science in the high school. The purpose of the organization is to interest all girls in the duties of home and community. To be eligible for membership a girl must have an average of 85% for the first six weeks of her first semester’s work. If she wishes to join at the beginning of her second semester she must have a B average for the first semester. During the year the members study the art of home- making. Careful attention is given to interior decorating and allied arts. The girls also study the etiquette of entertaining in the home. To give its members an opportunity to develop socially and educationally is the aim of the Normal Training Club. Students who take the Normal Training course in school are eligible, but they must be juniors or seniors. Meetings are held once a month and the programs arc organized to help those girls who plan to teach. The club has undertaken many praiseworthy projects this year. Just before Christmas, its members entertained the underprivileged children of a nearby school. Games were played and a cooperative supper served. Later they gathered around a Christmas tree and the children received gifts. A puppet show is another accomplishment of the club. It has been given at various entertainments.

The purpose of the Commercial Club is to give commercial students an opportunity to study commercial problems in the outside world. Many of these problems are not discussed in the class room because of the lack of time; but in the club meetings each of these problems may be thoroughly discussed in a more leisurely fashion. Aside from this the members may also enjoy the pleasures and entertainments derived from the usual social club. The Commercial Club holds meetings twice a month and undertakes different projects to raise money in order to finance its participation in the Iowa State Commercial contest. Members of the Librarians’ Club perform their greatest service to the school body during school hours. This club is not connected with any scholastic subject. T lie members enter it purely for their own enjoyment. They help the students to check books in and out, and relieve Miss Gallanar. the head librarian, of many clerical duties. They become well acquainted with the best current periodicals, the classics and reference books. We wish to take this opportunity to thank the Librarians for their patience in listening to our inquiries and their untiring efforts to make the pathway of knowledge easier for us. Page ioi Organizations Until now in this book, we have pre- sented the more serious aspect of life in Ottumwa High School. Now we want to present to you the more humorous side. Through the medium of photography we have tried to show you students and faculty members caught by the candid photographer. We have tried to present a wide variety of the students and individuals connected with Ottumwa High in these snapshots. We sincerely hope that none of these snaps will be offensive to anyone. We want to thank Karl Clayton, our Jahn and Ollier representative, who took a good many of our pictures. We want you to especially notice the first division sheet pic- ture of the school which he took. The other two pictures, the chapel shot for People” and the Student Council Court for Year”, were taken by Loren Chisman, our commercial photographer. All three of these photos were “double screened” to make them more impressive and individualistic. The Argus 1937 PAGE 102 Features O. H. S.
