Most students fail to realize the importance of the Board of Education. The members not only govern our high school but the entire Public School System as well. Nearly every- thing pertaining to school life depends upon their approval. Membership on the Board de- mands many hours of painstaking work, but it gives the satisfaction of work well-done for the community. One might say that the office of the Board is the executive office of Ot- tumwa's chief industry- that of educating its future citizens. oj C Xucatioii le 938 0 These are the seven men who study the problems of our school. We give you their positions in civic life: Frank C. Raney, Pur- chasing Agent, John Morrell Company; Eugene Wulfekuhler of Walter 'I'. Hall and Company; Walter H. McElroy, Lawyer and Abstractor; John Wormhoudt of the Worm- houdt Lumber Company; Charles I). Evans. President of the South Ottumwa Savings Bank; C. C.

The Student Council of Ottumwa High School is just such an organization. Councilmen are chosen by the students for ability in leadership and judgment, but to be- eligible for choice, each must have a scholastic ranking which places him in the upper one-third of his class. The Student Council has established the reserve system, which has been so helpful in maintaining order in the school. Students, elected from each advisory group, arc- stationed at reserve posts throughout the building. In order to pass through the halls during class periods, it is necessary to present to each reserve a pink slip signed by a teacher. Another of the innovations sponsored by the Student Council is an honor study hall under the supervision of a member of the council. Any student violating the school laws is tried by the Student Council Court which is presided over by the president of the council, Max Connelly. Mr. Crozier supervises the court’s work. The fact that the council has proved its definite value in high school life, and has become a great factor in improving the welfare of the school is due in part to the ad- vice and assistance of Miss Rose Miller who so ably heads the group.

Not only do those students who cannot go home to lunch and those who wish to study at noon find the O.H.S. cafeteria convenient, hut many teachers enjoy the lunches served there. Mrs. Thompson, who has worked in our cafeteria for fourteen years, has shown expert ability during this time in planning the varied menus, and in supervising the preparation of wholesome meals. With the assistance of Mrs. Bottorf and several students she serves approxi- mately one hundred and twenty-five meals daily. Wc may not stop to think about it often, but when we do. wc realize that the engineers play an important part in the background of our school. When we arrive at school in the morning, the building is entirely cleaned, even though we may have left it very untidy the previous afternoon. This is true not only of the schoolhousc proper but also of the grounds and the athletic field. tc ciaiLcnancc 938 Page 18 t- CiicletclaMiiicn Bill Matthews. Barbara Bastron.

Miss Ver Mucl President—VlRUIN IA BUELL Vice President—William Matthews Secretary—Mary Louise McCall Treasurer—Barbara Bastron Adviser- Miss Ver Huel This year's freshman class is up and coming . It has done more as a whole than any other freshman group which has entered our high school. Already many members have made names for themselves in sports, music, dramatics and other extra-curricular activities. Before the freshman class lies the best years of its school life. They have comparatively little to worry about. They have no Junior Jamboree to put over, no Junior Senior From to make a success, none of the worries of a Senior dance or Senior gift, and none of the sorrows of graduation. This class promises to be one of the best that ever entered high school. As they go through their four years, they will probably reach a mark that will be difficult for succeeding classes to attain. Miss Llizabeth Ver Huel is the adviser for the Freshman Class. With her many other duties and subjects she has willingly consented to guide the class until it graduates, even though many trying tasks go with this position. But not even the prospects of a Junior Jamboree, a Junior Senior From, a Senior dance, a Senior gift, nor the sorrows of graduating have interfered with her acceptance of the sponsorship of the class. Pep and grades and lots of fun—We're the Class of '41. 1 [nletcLid. unett Page 20 Row I—Helen Wish .ml, Barbara Warde. Betty Wheeler. Venita Woodard. Wayne Rolison. Clare Pettit, Timer Williamson.

Its members must live up to previously set standards and try to surpass goals reached by former classes. So far, the sophomores have shown efficiency and self-confidence in dealing with the many problems which have arisen in the course of the past year. They have been busy adjusting themselves to a new and larger environ- ment, but now the greatest part of their high school career lies before them: new and interesting activities, new friends and increase in knowledge. All these things and many more are in store for him who takes advantage of the opportunities presented. This year the sophomore class has as its new adviser. Miss Elma Vacha. Although new in this work, she has proved herself most efficient and con- scientious in her role as adviser to the many class members who are beginning to fill more important positions in sports, dramatics, debate and other extra- curricular activities. We are confident that with her help they will prove themselves capable of carrying their part in all these activities, and we wish them every success in the future. Classes may come—Classes may go But the best class of all Is 1-9-1-0. I tmietcldd. i ne t Page 26 Row I—Gerald Bush. Marjorie Bunch. Mary Dayton. Eloise Downing. Darlene Albright. Barbara Barker.

Miss Schick President—Ra i.pi i Patton Vice President- -Wayni- Amelang Secretary—Max Swaim Treasurer—Thomas Shoemaker Every student looks forward with eager anticipation to his Junior year, because of all the four years it is the fullest, since the Juniors carry the burden of the greatest number of school activities. This year that burden was lightened by the ability of the Junior Class leaders to inspire the hearty support and helpful co-operation of their classmates. The first two years of high school life are years of struggle to adjust one's self to the new environment, but now thoroughly acquainted with this life the third year is one of activity—the Juniors this year have securely established themselves in their new positions: in sports, clubs and scholarship. Much credit is due to Miss Schick, the adviser, who has proved very competent in counseling the class since their Freshman year. Her guidance- through these three years has proved a valuable asset to them. She has aided them in successfully carrying out all of their endeavors, the climax of which was this year's Junior-Senior Prom. The members of the Junior Class of 193« have proved that they are capable of taking their positions as seniors. They will strive to do what their three- years' training has taught them—let the future be richer because of the past. I ( n A etc Lid. wieu Page 30 Row 1—Margie Edmonson. Donna Blake.

We've spent four years in prepara- tion for our life after we graduate; but when the time actually comes, we’re all a little doubtful as to whethei we want to leave high school. Some of us will continue our schooling, but a greater number of us will endeavor to make a place for ourselves in the world. As a class we have made a noteworthy showing. Our Junior Jamboree was one of the most successful ever staged, and the Junior-Senior From we gave was a credit to our name. We hope that our Senior party. Senior chapel, Senior gift, and every other event that is a part of our graduation will surpass anything that has gone before. The adviser of the Senior Class is Miss Audren Farrar who is a worthy successor to the former Jeannette Mitchell who was our adviser for three years. It is rather difficult for an adviser to begin her work just as the members of the class become seniors, but Miss Farrar has capably adapted herself to her position.

We have compiled this book with you especially in mind, and have tried to include in it all the outstanding events of your school life that you may keep and treasure them throughout the years as a lasting memory. We, the 1938 staff, sincerely hope that this year's Annual will surpass all previous publications and that it will occupy a high place in the esteem of the student body. This book is everyone's book and we have tried to give everyone a part in it. The human side of school life is represented here as well as the scholastic, and every organization has been represented. I;or the success of this Annual we are indebted to Miss King for her patient and untiring efforts, to Miss Creswel! for her criticisms and corrections, and to many others, for their cooperation and in- spiration. If we have brought the Annual closer to the student if each person feels that he is a part of this book if it has brought happiness to the hearts of the student body—then we shall feel that our work has not been in vain.

It is published to give its staff members experience.” The Argusecrs maintain two very important organizations in our school! -The Argus News and The Argus Daily. The Argus News is a semi-monthly publication containing all the news of school activities, including sports, society and features. It is in the form of a regular newspaper with headlines, news stories, cuts, and advertisements. This year the society column is devoted to outside social events of students as well as to their school clubs and activities. In addition to this publication the Arguseers have charge of the daily news sheet, the Argus Daily. It would lx- difficult to keep the school running smoothly without the aid of this daily bulletin which is circulated throughout the advisory groups every morning and contains the announcements for the day. This year Miss Ochs, new teacher in the Commercial Depart- ment, succeeds Mr. Norris as adviser of the Argusecrs. Although one would expect her new work to be most difficult. Miss Ochs has acted in this capacity like a veteran and has given valuable assistance to the already efficient staff.

THE TORCH CLUB The highest goal of every student throughout his four years of high school should be membership in the Torch Club. Election to this society is the greatest honor that can lx? conferred on a student, for only after a committee of faculty members and a committee of fellow students have carefully examined his high school record can he be ad- mitted. The emblems of Torch Club are a keystone and a flaming torch. At the base of the keystone are the letters S. L. C. S., symbolic of the four cardinal principles on which the organization is founded. Scholarship is ' the power of the mind to dispel ignorance and superstition through scientific investigation of the truth”. Leadership is the power of personality that blazes the trail for man’s upward climb”. Character sets the seal of righteousness upon every endeavor . Service is the beginning and end of education; the altar of al- truism from which God's blessings to men have been vouchsafed. Thus the torch, symbolic of the onward march of time, is passed from generation to generation of students—and with it the qualities of scholarship, leadership, character, and service. Page 64 Four people who deserve much credit from the entire student body are the two boys and two girls who arc our cheer leaders. They are given the some- times impossible task of inspiring pep anil loyalty into the student body during pep chapels and at the games. At the opening of the semester, an aspiring group tried out before the entire school and the four winners were chosen by popular vote. Let's all give a big hearty cheer for our four hard working cheer leaders. Jack Salters. Virginia Buell. Zclla Smith. Jack Chambers Row I -Eyre. Ayres. Aubrey. Burtch. Chambers. Brooks. Adams.

When it was announced at the beginning of the school year that a Pep Club was to be organized with a limited membership of four hundred, everyone was eager to join and the quota was reached in a short time. Any student was eligible for membership, and so it was first come, first served”. The club's aim is to spur the O. H. S. football and basketball teams on to victory by gen- erating pep into the student body. Page 66 At the games, especially the football games because they are out of doors, the Pep Club makes a very satisfactory showing. The girls of the club wear white dresses trimmed with red, and red and white skull caps. They march during the intermissions of the games and help the band with various forma- tions. Because of this club we have actually had more pep this year and the teams have had better student support. Row I—McClaskcy. Montanich. L. Garrett. Heasley. Nickel. McElroy. Nciswangcr. Mac Kcn .ie.

We all realized that something had to be done to solve the pep problem this year, and Mr. Snyder discovered the solution. He has taught the members all the formations which they have had to master before they could make any public appearance. With such a good start, the club will cer- tainly keep up the good work and continue its purpose. Py Cu Cj. cj, The object of the Girls' Athletic Association is to stimulate interest in girls' sports. The girls play hit-pin-ball, baseball, and volleyball, and hold tournaments in each game every semester. The dub is composed of the girls interested in these activities, and through participation, they earn points toward the O’ Club. Miss Compton, the Physical Education instructor, is the adviser of this organization. She referees the games and supervises the selection of teams. Row I—Montanick. Boxx. Hartman.

UwL “L T Membership in Girls' O Club is the highest honor to be obtained in girls' athletics. The chief motives of this club are to encourage more interest in girls' sports and to create a better spirit of sportsmanship among the girls. A girl must earn five hundred points through individual and group activities, leadership and health in G. A. A. to receive her first letter. If a member earns an additional five hundred points, she is entitled to a state G. A. A. letter. Miss Compton is the adviser. Page 68 The aim of the Shark C lub, girls' honor swimming society, is to create an interest in girls' swimming and diving. Under the supervision of Miss Davidson, swimming instructor, the club holds its meeting in the pool every two weeks. Tryouts are held each semester and the girls, passing the strict tests successfully, become members. Since only the best swimmers are eligible, the club standards arc high. S uni Cu Row I -.1.

The Shark Club's most outstanding project of the year is the water pageant. The entire club, under the leadership of Miss Davidson, spends many extra hours preparing this colorful demonstration, which includes drill work, stunts, floating, diving, relays and form swimming. The event is the climax of the year’s work and it is, at this time, that the results of the year's training arc given the public for their approval. Page 69 The Ottumwa High Golf Club was organized to raise money for the golf team and to help the Athletic Association. The boys help pay the expenses of the team: such as, furnishing their clubs, balls and shoes. The team won the Little Six Golf Meet held at Muscatine, May I. 1937, for the first time in the history of our school. The players were Clifford Winger, Bob Reifsnyder, Hal Bayne Beck and John Stoltz. Mr. Webcrt is coacn. B. Reifsnyder. J. Stoltz. C. Winger. A. Canny. II. Beck. Mr. Webcrt Mr. Snyder. J. Leonard. R.

Supervisor Jack Snyder uncovered a team which shows promise of developing into a splendid one. Due to the fact that few high schools include tennis on their sports’ calendar, the Bulldogs played only four matches, losing two to an experienced Oskaloosa team, dropping another to Centerville, and then tying Centervile in the final match of the season. Page 70 The word Intramural” when translated literally from the Latin, means between walls . Thus, Intramural Sports are those between the walls” or within the school. The Intramural Sports program is a varied one. for contests and tourna- ments are promoted in baseball, basketball, volleyball, boxing and wrestling. The contests are held during the noon hour, with students acting as officials. Intramural Sports not only give all an opportunity to engage in athletics but also help develop future varsity performers. Util Row I—Kenneth Gosc. Thomas l.unklcy. Paul Blew. Merle Hoffman.

The I” Club is an honorary organization of approximately thirty boys, each having met the membership requirement by earning an I , or Intramural letter. The club has three purposes: to promote intramural activities, better sportsmanship, and to be of general service to the school. Intramural sports play a useful and important part in school life by increasing the interest in athletics, and by giving those who are not of varsity caliber, a chance to engage in the sports they enjoy. Mr. Snyder is the adviser. cu Page 71 Row I—F. Cordcs. J. Ask. E. Heston. R. Rabcnold. D. Johnson. F. Swaim. Row II—W. Holder. J. Curran. M. Patton. H. Schoolcn. M. Swaim. P. Smith. J. Rabcnold. H.

With only one letter man of the none too successful '36 track team returning for further duty, Ottumwa's 1937 track team finished the season with even a less impressive record than did its predecessor. However, by giving awards to freshmen and sopho- mores who met certain tests, Coach Newell had a larger number of aspirants out than ever before, and therefore 193S should not suffer from a lack of experience as has been the case in the past. The Ottumwa squad placed fifth in the Little Six Indoor Meet and finished in the same position in the conference outdoor meet. Next came the District Meet in Oskaloosa, with the Bulldogs improving sufficiently to take third place. The team finally entered the win column by trouncing Albia in a dual meet, but in the similar meet with Oskaloosa which followed, the Buildogs found themselves on the wrong end of the score. In the Osky Relays, which is one of the largest prep meets in the State, the team finished the season by capturing sixth place. Although the team as a whole was not successful, several individuals proved them- selves outstanding in their particular event. Among these were Bill Bradford, who broke the Little Six javelin record as well as the school shot record; Bill Spriggs in the -DO: Max Connelly in the pole vault and broad jump; Schoolcn in the hurdles; Alsdorf in the discus; McDermott and Burns in the mile. —It LI die.i Page 72 J. Hcinjc. E. Heston. J. Dciters. B. Gettings. K. McDermott. L. Burns C toss Ottumwa's 1937 Cross Country squad consisted of seven men: Lawrence Burns. Kenny McDermott, Francis Cordes, Jack Hcinjc. Johnny Deiters, Bill Gettings and Hd Heston. Every member of the squad ran in at least one meet, thus assuring him some actual racing experience during his high school career. Paced by two mighty mites in the persons of Kenny McDermott and Lawrence Burns, the team opened the season in winning a dual meet with Oskaloosa. Next came the state mile team race, with the Bulldogs finishing in third place. The big meet of the year was, of course, the state cross country race in which Ottumwa finished in the fifth position, with McDermott finishing sixth and Burns seventh. The Cross Country squad is probably the least heralded of all the high school athletic teams. It is seldom discussed, in fact, few could name two members of the team. And yet, in their season, these athletes practice faithfully each night without recognition by the student body they practice because they like to run and partly, perhaps, because they are loyal to their school Surely they deserve more credit than they receive. True, it is hardly as thrilling to watch a cross country meet as a football or basketball game, but those runners are giving their best for the school just as arc the football and basktball players. From now on, let's give them a little more credit and let's have more interest in this so-called minor sport. Page 73 he czd-tcjiis 1938 I-:. J. KALTENBACH DON NEW I; I I. Head G ach Don Newell in the past two years has proved himself a worthy successor to Mr. Van Antwerp. Although handicapped by a shortage of material. Coach Newell has built teams of which we as students can be justly proud. Newell is a Wapello County boy, born in Agency where he graduated from high school. He then enrolled at Iowa Wesleyan, where he was a three letter man- winning berths on the football, basketball and track teams. Mr. Newell began his coaching career at I'enton. Iowa, where he also served as principal, and then, after a year at Eddyville, came to Ottumwa. H. Eugene Lister is Coach Newell s able and popular assistant, who, in his two years here has capably demonstrated his coaching ability. Like Newell, Lister is a Corn State product, born near Goldfield where he attended high school. He won a major letter in football at Monmouth College, Illinois, as well as taking a part in other campus activities. After earning his Master of Arts Degree in Education, Mr. Lister served first at Monmouth High, Illinois, and then came to Ottumwa. The newest addition to Ottumwa's coaching staff is Erwin Kaltenbach. who is serving his first year as an O. H. S. coach. Mr. Kaltenbach graduated from the Iowa State Teachers’ College, and was awarded his Master's Degree by the State University. His first position was as Superintendent of Schools in Clermont, following which he held the same position in Melbourne. From Melbourne lie went to East High in Waterloo, and from there he came to Ottumwa- the last but not least addition to a fine coaching staff. -Itlletic.i Page 74 Row I—C. Carlo. B. I riiz. M.

Coaches Lister and Kaltenbach spent much time in developing the teams blocking and tackling. Around the two returning letter line men, Clifford Winger and Max Swaim, both capable lads, they molded a strong line in offense as well as defense. Lady Luck was with us in the back field, for there we had all four letter men returning: Max Connelly, Dick Megrath, Francis Taylor and Johnny Rabcnold. Be- cause of his capable assistance with the coaching of the line. Head Coach Don Newell was free to spend most of his time with this backfield, where he was able to develop a number of excellent deceptive plays as well as to perfect a splendid passing attack. This year might well be considered a successful one, the team having won five games, tied two and lost two. So much for the varsity, and now we must give a little credit to the boys who report every night but see no action in the big games. These boys stand up against the vicious tackling and blocking of the first team and still come back for more. They forfeited the chance to see the Oskaloosa game in order that they might play Moulton. Seniors: Coleman. Connelly, Farrington, Jones, McClaskey. Megrath, Peppers, Rabcnold, F. Swaim and Winger, we congratulate you! To you others, good luck for next year’s football season. Page 75 SCORES Ottumwa 0 Albia 0 Ottumwa 7 Muscat inc 13 Ottumwa 24 Washington 7 Ottumwa 12 Ft.

Old Man Jinx in the form of the eight-semester ruling of the Iowa Athletic Assn, cost the Ottumwa basketball team two of their most valuable basketball players and two capable substitutes. This eight-semester rule, which bars high school athletes from competing in any form of athletics after eight semesters of school, has wrecked many Ottumwa's title hopes. The four boys, who at the end of the first semester hung up the 'finis'' sign, were Max Connelly, flashy Bulldog forward: Bill Lyman, fiery first string guard; Ralph Farrington, who was a second team center or guard; and Frank Swaim. substitute center. Lady Luck, however, will be with Coaches Newell. Lister and Kaltenbach next season since only two boys of the present first squad are graduating— Al Jones, lanky center, and Harold Sherman, a clever guard. The Ottumwa High School Varsity Basketball Squad after the end of the first semester was composed of Dick Rabcnold, successor to Max Connelly; Harold Lind, running mate of Rabcnold; Joe Celania and Al Copeman at forwards. Al Jones and Clarence Carlo were the centers, while at guards we had Bill Yingling, the boy who succeeded Bill Lyman, Franny Taylor. Harold Sherman and Edward Critchlow. Ottumwa completed the first half of the current season in fifth place having won three conference games and lost four. Ottumwa also won two non conference games, namely Melrose and Albia. Harold Lind, forward, finished the first half of the season in second place and Al Jones in fourth place in the Little Six individual scoring. =4urs 1938 Page 83 SCORES Ou. 0|� p.

It is composed cf approximately sixty members—the largest membership the organization has ever had. Under the direction of Mr. Dayton the band is composed cf all the Ottumwa High School students who are interested in music and are able to play an instrument, l or the past three years the group has entered the state music contest where they have received high ratings. To help finance these trips, the hand members sponsor a tag sale, the success of which shows the cooperation and interest displayed by the members of the group. The band adds much to the enthusiasm of pep assemblies, basketball games, foot- ball games and assists in many civic activities. s lusu Page 92 Row I J I conard. D. Ware. M. English. M. Bunch. M.

Every musically inclined student entering high school may find a golden opportunity in the orchestra for membership is open to any student who plays an orchestral instru- ment. The experience and knowledge gained by playing in this organization are in- valuable to every student of music. This year the orchestra is under the direc- tion of Mr. Cloice Myers who is the new musical instructor in Ottumwa High School. There are several small instrumental groups within the orchestra which provide entertainment for many programs. The dif- ferent units, including these small special groups, tend to promote the growth of musical interest in school and city. Once a year the orchestra gives a concert in conjunction with the band, the proceeds of which aid in financing the annual trip to the state music contest. DIRECTOR CLOICE MYERS Hie cMqtU 938 S 0 Page 93 Each year several small vocal groups are chosen from the many fine voices in the music department. One of these «roups is the boys' |uartette. Chosen at the beginning of each year this group works on many different types of songs with which they entertain various social groups both inside and outside the school. The quartette is composed of two tenors and two baritones. Melvin Decniy. Matthew Brucc. Jeanne Rogers. Stinson Clark. Bill Woodrow. Row I—Elliott. Seaburg. Morrissey. Deitch. Simpson. Ketcham.

It is composed of members who are chosen for their line voices. The group is so selected that all voices blend perfectly. Under the leadership of Miss Aas, head of our music department, it not only participates in such school activities as High School Night and the Christmas Pageant, but also presents two operettas annually and attends the state music contest. Page 94 Still another of the select groups chosen each year is the girls' trio. Like the other groups these girls devote their time to studying the art of blending their voices perfectly so that no one voice stands out above another. I his, and the knowledge of portraying different types of music brings gratifying results both to the group and to the individual. This group which consists of a soprano, a second soprano and an alto functions at many school activities. D. Kcccham. M. Swick. J. ILinnum Row I—B. Nelson. H. I.ukc. G. Mapel. Row II W. Starr.

Selected annually in the same manner as the other groups, these six girls work on a large and varied repertoire of songs throughout the year. Besides drawing a great deal of enjoyment from her work under Miss Aas. each girl also gets much personal benefit from the training she receives. It is part of their work to sing at many school activities as well as at social organizations outside of the school. Page 95 Illis year the winners in the local preliminaries of the boys’ declamatory contest were: oratorical. Bill Woodrow; humorous, Theodore White; dramatic, Jack Barber. The winners in the girls' contest were: oratorical, Margaret Ruth Morrissey; humorous. Mary Boyd; and dramatic, Shirley Rich. These students represented Ottumwa in the Iowa Nine Declamatory Contests, the boys' at Fairfield and the girls' at Burlington.

The chief purpose of the Debate Club is to help the debate team as much as possible. Another aim is to teach the members of the club to master any nervousness or self-consciousness they may feel when appearing before an audience. The members learn to assemble information on the debate topic logically. The Debate Club also offers the opportunity to cultivate new friends among out-of-town debaters. Mr. Hamley is the debate coach. Page 96 Peace on Earth , the first play given by the Dramatic Club in the fall, was a timely one. It was an anti-war play and was presented on Armistice Day and the day following. Because ot the numerous scenes, the production was most difficult, but the result was a combination of excitement and stimulation made effective by its mob scenes. The cast of almost one hundred students included practically every member of the Dramatic Club. Jeanne Rogers. Jack Barber. Garnet Maple. Margaret Morrissey. Bill Woodrow. Bob Dalin. Bob Anderson.

Drama, music, comedy, dancing- all woven into a swiftly moving plot— helped to make the production one of the most enjoyable ever offered by the O. H. S. Music Department. L list cm Page 97 Row I—-M.

One of the oldest forms of entertainment and culture in the history of the world is the drama. For centuries the actor has instructed as well as entertained his audience by his work. Through acting the player also learns. Thought, word and deed linked together make an impression that is almost indelible. Good acting is an influence to be reckoned with in cultural ascent. It is for these reasons that the Dramatic Club, now one of the largest clubs in school, was organized. Its chief aim is to help the student express himself with greater ease and effectiveness. Members of the club are elected according to their acting ability. Each year tryouts for membership arc held and any student wishing to try out may do so. In order to remain in the club, each member must make five- points a semester. These points are received for participating in a play or serving on one of the numerous crews backstage which are necessary in making a play a success. A scholastic average of eighty per cent must be maintained by each Club member. An inner circle of Dramatic Club is the Players' Club. Any club member who has made seventy five points may be admitted to players. The sale of tickets to its plays is the source of income which enables the Club to make any needed additions to its stage equipment. This year they have remodeled the dressing rooms. Miss Stover has proved herself a most capable and efficient director for both the Dramatic Club and Players. ’tam a page 98 Row I -Miss Stover. Robert Dalin. James Spilman. Elaine Kent.

The aspiration of every Dramatic Club member is to belong to Players’ Club. To be a member of Players’ shows that a student is really in earnest, for the club is made up of genuine dramatic enthusiasts. Any Dramatic Club member who has done out- standing work either in acting or producing and has earned seventy-five points in this manner, may become a Player. As you can see by the small number of persons in Players’, it is not a simple task to become a member. Points are not just given away. For instance, in the sale of tickets to the plays, one receives only one point for three tickets sold. So no matter how you obtain points, only hard work earns them. One of the main functions of Players' Club is to present the third play of the year, although some of the members may take part in the other plays. Two members of Players' Club have additional honors bestowed upon them. Each year a hat and dress arc given to two of the most outstanding students in dramatics. Both, the hat and the dress have deep significance to every member of Dramatic and Players' Clubs and have been handed down for many years. This year Elaine Kent was given the dress and William Woodrow was given the- hat. The temporary owners of the hat and dress are required to have them backstage whenever the curtain goes up on a production. The officers of Players' are: President, Robert Dalin; Vice President, James Spil- man; Secretary and Treasurer, Elaine Kent. Page 9? JLJ. 1938 o Albcrl Jones Howard Rubei William Woodrow One of the new features appearing in the 1938 Argus Annual is the Popularity Contest which has been sponsored by this year's staff. This is a new venture to put added interest into our yearbook, and one that will most likely be continued through- out the coming years if it is well received. This contest has been inaugurated with the purpose of providing the senior students with a lasting memory of the most out- standing boy and girl in their class. We, their class mates, offer our sinccrest con- gratulations not only to the winners, but also to the runnersup. C onne SENIOR Jeanne Rogers Dorothy Mac Ketcham Garnet Mapcl Esther Seaburg The winners of this contest were chosen by the entire student body. A ballot was taken in the advisory groups, each student naming his choice for the most popular senior boy and girl. The boy and girl re- ceiving the largest number of votes were declared the winners. The four boys and four girls next high in number of votes were named runnersup. The Annual staff members who were heads of departments were exempt. POPULARITY CONTEST HOME The first O. H. S. Homecoming sponsored by the Hi-Y Club was an outstanding success. To cicm: interest in the event, the club sponsored a contest to choose a t|ucen. Below are nine of the candidates: K. Dayton, M. Johnston, B. Sadler. B. Titterineton. J. Steele. D. Skinner, M. Long, D. Owen and M. Dial. Part of the Homecoming crowd at the ticket window.
