DOUMA Superintendent The Superintendent’s Office Charlotte Dalin, Clair Jones The Board of Education is the most im- portant department in our entire educational system. It is composed of seven responsible citizens who have taken the burden of the Board's duties upon themselves, realizing that the progress of a community depends upon proper guidance of its youth. The Board serves without compensation. To these men are entrusted the respon- sibilities of school finances, the hiring of teachers and custodians, the purchasing of building materials and school supplies, and this year, the erection of three new grade school buildings and an athletic field. Well known to every student in Ottum- wa High School is Mr. Douma, superintend- ent of the Ottumwa Public Schools. When he first came to Ottumwa in 1920, Mr. Douma served as a geometry instructor and as an athletic coach at the high school. For a number of years he was assistant principal, after which lie was principal of the high school for nine years. In 1956 he was made superintendent of schools, and he has served in this capacity for five years. Assisting Mr. Douma are Miss Clair Jones, his private secretary, and Miss Char- lotte Dalin, the office secretary. Pace 11 Selma G. Aas C. E. Alton Paul V.

To this number must be added the four on the office staff, making a total of fifty-six on our faculty. The Guidance Committee, which has charge of planning the courses, is composed of six faculty members. This committee is composed of Miss Nyc, Miss Jamison. Miss Kiltleson, Miss Davis, Miss Vacha, and C. N. Johnson. These counselors work with a student throughout his entire four years of high school, finding out what his interests arc, and planning subjects that will prepare him for his future. Page 15 STUDENT GOVERNMENT THE STUDENT COUNCIL The Student Council is without doubt the most important school organization, because its members represent the student body. With the aid of the Council adviser. Miss Rose Miller, the Council, now in its twentieth year, has become a highly efficient organization. The duties of the Student Council are many and the re- sponsibilities large. This year, as in years before, the Pep Assemblies, School Clubroom, Lost and Found Department, Noon Movies, supervision of order in the Cafeteria, and a Check Room for all school activities have been under the di- rection of the council members. Since the days of our forefathers the council system has always been the democratic form of government. This gov- ernmental system has lived through many 3'ears of sorrow and joy, poverty and prosperity. Even today this form ol gov- ernment still lives, and the younger generation has adopted it for its form of school government. Thus, we have our Student Council.

The men and women composing the group to whom this activity may be attributed, are the engineers. Their work involves the doing of many difficult tasks, in order to keep our school up to its standard of being one of the best, if not the best, in the State of Iowa. To this group of pleasant and efficient workers we owe much appre- ciation for the cleanliness of our building, for the beauty of our grounds, both at the high school proper and the athletic field. When we leave our classrooms for sum- mer vacation, they immediately start repairing and im- proving the building, giving it a fresh, new atmosphere for the resuming of the fall term by the faculty and students. CAFETERIA Mrs. A. 0. Thompson, Mrs. Marie Boltorfi. The cafeteria at Ottumwa High School has proved a valuable asset for students who need extra time for studying, or who cannot go home during the lunch hour. Those who bring their lunches also have the privilege of eating there. In addition to the large number of students who use it every day, many teach- ers take advantage of this service. Approximately two hundred meals arc served each noon. Mrs. Thompson, who is in charge, is assisted by Mrs. Bottorff and several students. As the cafeteria is run on a non-profit basis, a well-balanced lunch may be purchased at a very low cost. Outside of school hours, the cafeteria is used for many other purposes. The Junior class uses it for its annual carnival and numerous clubs have used it for their entertainments.

Page 19 This is without doubt one of the most important divisions in the book because each student is included in one of its four sections. It is here that the story is told of Freshmen eagerly looking forward to becoming upper classmen; of Sophomores already fully in the swing of activities; of Juniors ready to take their positions as leaders, and of Seniors who have at last attained their goal. STUDENTS SENIORS JUNIORS SOPHOMORES FRESHMEN Senior Class Officers The hour has come when we, the class of 1941, look back on the fading years of our high school life and re- alize abruptly that soon we leave this, our school, where- in we have had many hours of pleasure. In brief, tran- quil musings we look with pride on our record of achievements. Through our study of the arts, we have come into an appreciation of culture and into an under- standing of a well balanced life. Music, both instru- mental and vocal, has played an important part in many phases of our school activities. The class of '41 has often served with distinction in the field of speech, de- bate and dramatics. On the athletic field, members of the graduating class have carried on high, the torch of honor and courage, thereby writing the name of their Alma Mater in the annals of sports. The social side of school life has not been neglected by our class. Mem- ories of many parties, picnics, and dances will long lin- ger with us. Lastly, but by far the most important, we have bettered our minds in the sincere hope and desire that we may be an asset, not a liability to an unsettled world. As we cast a last, lingering look behind, we step into the world with the assurance that this train- ing, received during these four years under the capable and considerate guidance of our adviser. Miss Ver Heul, will benefit us. This heritage we leave to the class of 1942. May they attain even higher goals. THE 1941 ARGUS Miss Vcr Heul, Adviser Donald Kcphart, President Bill Nelson.

Pack 44 Junior Class Officers We as Juniors have found ourselves one step higher on the steep ladder to success, higher education, and a practical worthy life; one step nearer the goal we set when entering as freshmen. It seemed almost incredi- ble that some day we would be Juniors, soon to be look- ing forward to graduation. We have found ourselves confronted with new responsibilities, requirements and problems both social and scholastic. For the past two years we have struggled along the path of knowledge. Through the knowledge gained by earnest study and application of the learning given us during the last two years we are now ready, willing and able, as Juniors to accept the new and important responsibilities. We can take our place among the upper classmen, having long passed the more juvenile stage of lower classmen. This class, we believe will surpass many of the records of previous Junior classes. During the Junior year students are most active in extra-curricular ac- tivities. It has already shown great promise not only in sports but in dramatics, music, debate, journalism, and many other of the various fields. Great respon- sibilities will fall upon the students; we are confident this class will be very capable of handling all situations as they may arise. We are indeed grateful for the aid and guidance given us, both individually and in groups, by iMiss Isabel Creswell, our Class Adviser.

We're the class of '43. It would seem that the above is truly an appro- priate motto for such an enterprising group as the present Sophomore Class. Already the members of this class arc furnishing competition to the upper- classmen in all extra-curricular activities. After four years of high school, the former student realizes that this period has been and will always be one of the happiest times in his life, and he is sorry that he did not make more of the opportunity afforded him. The class of 1943 has now reached the half-way mark in its high school career, and while the achievements as a class are largely for the next two years, yet the activities of the individual members have made a very creditable showing. This is due to their intense in- terest in both study and play, and also to the capable and sympathetic guidance of Miss Marie Schick, their adviser. Always from each class come a few who are to make their mark in the great outside world. As the class of nineteen hundred and forty-three will be the largest ever to have graduated from Ottumwa High School, our hope and aim is that it will also be the best class. We also hope that while we arc in school we shall have a good time—fun for all -but realizing always that we are here to learn.

They look for- ward with confidence and willingness. The Freshman Class has no need for encouragement to carry them through the coming years, for they arc capable of over- coming all difficulties and disappointments to come. Their purpose is to accomplish every aim within their power, and we know that they will strive vigorously until they reach this goal. 0. H. S. Freshmen are proud of their school and its many advantages. Most of them have varied talents, which they display with pride. Some of these talents are in dramatics, athle- tics, debate, music, and all other extra-curricular ac- tivities. All of these take up their time, which other- wise would be utterly wasted. With their initiative it will not be hard for them to fill the places of the up- perclassmen in the future. We of the upperclasscs leave them with that responsibility. “Open wide suc- cess’s door, we’re the class of '44,'' a well chosen motto, is the freshman yell and it gives you the highlight of their ambition. We, the upperclassmen, will open that door, and if what we have already seen is true, everyone who is ambitious enough will pass through that famous door, and will be able to take his place in the world. A victorious ending will be theirs when they graduate, but at this present time, we take pride in welcoming the students here for the first time, to our Ottumwa High School.

THE 19 4 1 ARGUS Pace 63 The part which clubs and organizations play in our school life is most essential, for without this way of relaxing, we would lead a more or less humdrum existence. We students should all feel that it is well worth our while to participate in at least one of the extra-curricular activities which tend to make our high school life more pleasant and more worth while.

If the student can attain membership in this organ- ization, it is considered that his four years of high school work were not spent in idle play but in hard work. Me gains this recognition after a careful examination of his record of achievements by a committee of faculty mem- bers and students. The student must be in his junior or senior year, having a scholastic average of 85 per cent and also doing outstand- ing work in extra-curricular fields. I le should keep in mind, however, that character, leader- ship, and service are vitally important in the winning of this national award of distinction. Miss Enoch, Bill Nelson, Charles Clift.

LIBRARIANS In the Library— Sign your slip, please An organization which renders special ser- vice to the school is the Librarians' Club. This group does much to raise the stand- ards of the education of Ottumwa High School, by their work in the library. The members work in the library for one period each day. Besides helping students find various books, they spend much of their time in mending books, checking books and library permits, typing, filing, and assisting Miss Gallanar, the school librarian. There have been many improvements made in our library this year, one of the most important is the addition of new book stacks in the main reading room. Also there has been instituted a new arrangement for study hall pupils whereby they may secure books and magazines to read during their study hall period. The library has ten thousand books of which approximately four hundred arc new this year. This year, because of crowded conditions in the school, the library is also used for a study hall. Another practice that has proved very satisfactory is sending a whole class to the library at one time to do reference work. Many students use the library during the sixth period for research and study. It also opens at twelve-fifteen, noon, and students may check out books and study before fourth period. ORGANIZATIONS Pace 69 THE 1941 ARGUS ANNUAL THE EDITORIAL STAFF Students, this year we are presenting to you tlie 1941 Argus Annual.

This cry has become a byword with students at Ottumwa High School when someone wants complete information concerning a coming school activity. The Argus News, which is the school paper of Ottumwa High School, is published every three weeks by the student members of the Argus News Staff and is printed bv the high school printing department. A complete schedule of musical, dramatic and athletic events is to be found in the News. Its special features, human interest stories, editorials, and jokes express the enjoyment which those students who compose the News staft' receive from their work. This publication is printed as an extra service for the entire student body, and also for the valuable experience and training in journalism that it gives to the members of the News Staff'.

This club, a very popular one among the extra-curricular activities, is full of opportunities. Not only persons talented in acting, but also those whose abilities run to the field of directing and producing plays, participate in the membership of the club. Miss Bertha Stover, the director of the club, stages regularly a number of entertaining plays which afford interest and amusement to all the public. After a successful try-out, the new members of Dramatic Club arc admitted and initiated at the annual Dramatic Club banquet. To retain their memberships in this club, the members are required to earn at least ten points a year through stage work, selling tickets, and acting. The officers of this club arc: President, Dorothy Del Kirkharl; Vice-President, Chandler von Schrader; Secretary, Norma Metz; Treasurer, Barbara Salter. THE 1941 ARGUS Row I—J.

PLAYERS CLUB Jack Matheus, Jeanne Moore, Mary Jane Rcard, Patti Sloltz, Marjorie Strohaucr. If you are in the Dramatic Club, you have the opportunity to become a member of the Players’ Club. It is the inner circle of the Dramatic Club, and it serves as a goal toward which every Dra- matic Club member strives. With ambition, willingness, enthusiasm, initiative, and the will to “slick to it” you can achieve this goal. Besides possessing these qualities, however, to get into the club you must have the required seventy-five points, which may be obtained not only by acting, but by working on the stage crews, prompting, and selling tickets to the Dramatic Club plays. It is not easy to get these points, and only a very few of the members of the upper classes are ever able to attain membership in this organization. In fact, the membership is so small that it comprises only about one percent of the entire student body. The Players' Club is for those who have given the most service to the Dramatic Club. It is very valuable and helpful to the Dramatic Club and to Miss Stover, the teacher in charge of both organizations, for it conducts the Dramatic Club's tryouts, furnishes student directors for the plays, and plans the annual banquet.

The plot con- cernet! the school life of a modern American boy, Henry Al- drich, who was always in trouble no matter how hard he tried to “be good. I Ienry cheated in an exam to get enough money to take “his girl” to the Junior-Senior Prom; he caused numer- ous disturbances in the Study Hall, and last but not least he was accused of pawning the Central High School’s musical instruments. Of this last deed, however, he was finally cleared, after George Bigelow, Henry's sworn enemy, was proved guilty. The setting of all three acts was in the principal's office at Central High School. The season—a morning in spring. This play was, without a doubt, one of the most success- ful ones ever produced by the Dramatic Club at Ottumwa High. It was presented before a very large and appreciative audience.

One of the more popular Gilbert and Sullivan operettas, “The Mikado tells the story of the attempts of Nanki-Poo, son of the Mikado of Japan, to gain the right to marry Yum-Yum, who loves him, but is engaged to Ko-Ko, Lord High Executioner. The state of affairs becomes even more complicated when the Mikado orders that an execution take place, and Ko-Ko selects Nanki-Poo the victim. Through the combined efforts of Miss Selma G. Aas, Miss Bertha Stover, and those students talcing part in the operetta, this production was one of the most amusing and brilliant performances seen on the Ottumwa High School stage during the past few years.

Jean von Schrader. Row II Julian Winston, Jack Matheus, Gordon Espy, Phillip Pepper, Miss Stover. The Declamatory students of Ottumwa High School are attempting to cultivate the ability to con- vey their thoughts and feelings to others through the presentation of readings. The readings given by those participating in Declam come under three classifications—oratorical, dramatic, and humorous. All those wishing to be in Declam take part in a local contest, from which the best speakers are chosen. These students then advance to the county, and if successful, to the sub-district, the district, and the state contests. If the student is successful in winning the state contest, he may even go to the national contest. Besides this series of contests, there is the Iowa Nine, in which Ottumwa is represented by its out- standing speakers. In the Iowa Nine there are separate contests for boys and girls. At the Boys' Iowa Nine held in Iowa City in December, Jack Matheus, in the dramatic division, was awarded a superior rating for his “Did I Know Lincoln? At the same contest Julian Winston, the oratorical division, received an excellent rating for Keep America Out of War, and Phil Pepper, representing 0. I I. S. in the humorous division, received an award of good, for his presentation of “Our Summer Pets. At the Girls' Iowa Nine Contest held in Davenport in February, our school was represented by Jeanne Moore in the oratorical division, Patti Stoltz in the dramatic division, and Jean von Schrader in the humorous division. Of these three, however, only Patti Stoltz was able to place, receiving an award of excellent for “Our Town. Declamatory reading does more toward developing speaking ability, self-confidence, and poise than any other subject or activity in high school. Because it is such a worthwhile organization, it is hoped that more students will take advantage of the opportunities offered by Declam. Miss Bertha Stover is the Declam coach.

Of the many extra-curricular activities carried on in this school one of the most interesting is the Debate Club. This club has many aims but its chief purpose is to train the squad which represents our school. Under the direction of Mr. Bisscll, their adviser, the members of the team and the club learn to overcome any self-consciousness or nervousness that may affect them while speaking. They also learn how to assemble their information about the topic which they are going to debate, and how to deliver their speech in a confident and convincing manner. Tne research work done by the students is of great value to them. Thcv must keep up with world events from day to day. The Debate Club does much to broaden the minds ,not only of the debater, but also of the listener. Besides profiling by their experience, the members of the club have many good times. Throughout the year there are many tournaments. Debates with visiting teams are frequent. Ottumwa High School has a fine reputation for hospitality to the teams of the visiting towns. This year a new division of the club was started. It is called the Speakers' Bureau, sponsored by Mr. Bisscll and under the direction of Mary Osborne. This group has presented many programs of interpretive readings this year. The National Forensic League, a national honor society for Forensic students, was also installed in Ottumwa High School.this year. The purpose of this organization is to promote the interest of in- terscholastic debate, oratory, and public speaking. VVc arc sure that these new organizations will soon find a place in our school «activities. This years' officers are: President, Bill Bibb; Vice-President, Paul Burggraaf; and Secretary- Treasurer, Helen Vinson. THE Pace 79 19 4 1 ARGUS BAND Row I—■'W. Michcncr, T. Van Ness. D. Davidson, R.

The fact that the band contained nearly ninety musicians, the largest group of this kind ever trained at O. II. S., shows a great increase in interest in instrumental music. One outstanding improvement in the band this year was the purchase of new uniforms, replacing the old ones. The new uniforms, of military design, are made of blue serge, and are trimmed in the school colors, red and white. They arc considerably more attractive, more comfortable, and more practical than the old red and white uniforms. Still another addition to the regular band was the formation of a drum anti bugle corps. This group, which was organized toward the latter part of the football season, consists of six trumpets and seven drums, and it marches apart from the regular band, either in front or back of it. The band's activities include participation in a wide variety of school and community events. Besides playing for all football and basketball games, the band takes part in all pep chapels, the home- coming parade, and community parades, including the Memorial Day, Armistice Day, and Thanks- giving parades. The band also performs under many different conditions, ranging from the heat of Memorial Day's long march to the cold and snow of the Oskaloosa football game. Mr. Cleveland Dayton is the director of the band. Robert M. Wilkinson is the drum major, and Don Kephart and Teed White are student directors.

For those students of Ottumwa High School who play musical instruments the orchestra offers an inducement to work and to practice so that they may attain membership in this organization. The orchestra was one of the first extra-curricular organizations to be founded in the school, and since its origin it has played an important part in many school activities. This group provides much delight- ful entertainment for the Dramatic Club productions, for High School Night, for community gather- ings, such as the Christmas and Flag Day programs, and for other events held in the high school audi- torium. In the spring of each year, the orchestra either enters the state music contest or, if granted an invitation, attends the Iowa State Music Festival, which is held at Iowa City. At the music festival the orchestra is given an audition, which is judged bv some well known orchestra leader. In previous years it has had the privilege of being judged by Professor Hausen, from the Eastman School of Music; by Professor Clapp, of the State University of Iowa; and by many others. However, the audition is not the only advantage of the music festival, for here the members of the orchestra also have the opportunity to listen to other high school orchestras from all over the state, and also to the fine Uni- versity of Iowa orchestra. Through these experiences the orchestra members arc inspired to new heights of achievements in the world of music. Within the orchestra are the smaller groups, the string quartet and the clarinet quintet. The orchestra is under the direction of Waldo E. Scott. Jack Hillhousc and Mary Eleanor Pinncll share the position of concert master. Pack 81 THE 1 9 4 1 ARGUS MIXED CHORUS For those students of the Ottumwa High School, who have a sincere desire to partici- pate in group vocal music, membership is offer- ed in the Mixed Chorus, one of the most out- standing groups of its kind. Membership in this activity requires only that the applicant have a good voice, anti a sense of pitch. The Mixed Chorus has one of the most outstanding service records of any high school activity. Often during each year they are called upon to sing on many programs which entertain the various organizations of Ottumwa. Each spring, with funds raised by giving a co- operative concert with the band and orchestra, they participate in either the State Music Con- test or the State Music Festival. This group is guided and directed through these many ac- tivities by Miss Selma Aas. Alda Tullis, Miss Aas, Alary Eleanor Pinncll “Practice makes perfect.

Alarilou Bragg, Alda Tullis Each year the more talented members of the music department of Ottumwa High School form several select vocal groups. The Girls’ Trio is one of the several select groups chosen each year. This year we arc very fortunate in having two such trios. The voices of the girls are very well blended and the girls sing many different types of songs. The girls occasionally take part in special pro- grams both in the school and in the community. Another of the small vocal groups is the Girls’ Sextette. These girls meet together twice each week outside of school hours and practice the songs nearly all of us have had the pleasure of hearing either at various social gatherings or at one of our assemblies. The Boys' Quartette should be highly com- mended for its work in school and at various club meetings. At school, they are always ready and willing to take part in chapel ex- ercises, and their selections arc usually of such type that they appeal greatly to the student body. At various community entertainments, they have performed well. We arc truly grate- ful to this group for their work, and it is such work that helps Ottumwa High School main- tain the high standard that it now holds. Some of us little realize or appreciate the work (lone by such groups, but it is an opening for those truly interested in music.

This club under the supervision of Miss Florence Daniels, was organized in order to create and develop a better understanding and a keener appreciation of the various phases of art. The Community Art Center has been of great value to the Art Club, for many of the members spend considerable time studying there. Their studies, both at school and at the Art Center, tend to avoid formalism and try to keep the work closely related to the ex- periences and interests of the members. The purpose of the study, which includes not only drawing, but also art appreciation, is not to make artists of the students, nor develop a high degree of technical skill, but rather to in- crease the powers of observation. Probably the best works of the art club are the many drawings, which make up the ex- hibits on display in the halls of our building on certain occasions These pictures are the re- sults of the constant efforts of the members to develop an understanding of art among the students. This year the members gave an exhibition of Master Prints at the Y. W. C. A. The officers of the club arc: President, Blanche Woolsey; Vice-President, Betty Kalec; Secretary, Betty Nupp; Treasurer, Barbara Jean Warde. The Master Touch' Pace 84 ORGANIZATIONS PRINTING CLUB The Printing Club is composed of mem- bers of the printing classes; the membership is obtained under certain limitations. The stu- dent must have taken at least one semester of printing and must have an average grade of B. The aim of the club is to create greater interest in printing among the students’ print- ing classes. During the school year, the mem- bers of the club do a great deal of printing work in and about the school. They print the Argus News and also the stamp cards, which admit students to all school activities. They also print the programs for plays, games, and other entertainments. In order to do this work, they have to work many extra hours and for these services, they earn points. The letters A for Apprentice, ) for Journeyman, and P for Print- er arc received for fifty, one hundred, and two hundred points respectively.

One of 1 lie most active organizations in the school is the Hi-Y Club. The Ottumwa chapter of Ili-Y is affiliated with approximately a thousand or more other such groups throughout the nation. The purpose of Hi-Y throughout our country is to “Create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and the community high standards of Christian character.” Its principles are clean speech, clean sports, clean scholarship, and clean living. The fifty members of Hi-Y meet each Thursday night either at the Y. M. C. A. or in the Club Room of the high school. Once a month the club has a supper meeting, at which occasionally some prominent local speaker delivers an inspirational address. On other Thursdays arc the business meet- ings, at which plans are made for the various Hi-Y projects. These projects include the Homecoming celebration, the Mother-and-Son Banquet, as well as several dances. The club also has its social meetings, ranging from swimming or basketball at the “Y” to hayrack rides and skating parties. The most important event of this year for the Hi-Y club was the Southeastern Iowa Hi-Y Con- ference, which was held in Ottumwa in December. Approximately one hundred and fifty boys at- tended this two day gathering. The principal speakers for the program was John B. Magee of Cornell College. Different study groups met and discussed not only problems confronting the youth of today, but ways by which they could improve their own schools and chapters of Hi-Y. Last year, for the first time in many years, the Ottumwa chapter of Hi-Y was represented at the National Hi-Y Congress, which was held at Oberlin, Ohio. The club elected Dan Smith, its vice- president, to go to the convention and to bring back a report of its work to the rest of the club. ORGANIZATIONS Page 86 HI-TRI Row I June Woodard, Betty Clark.

Hi-Tri, which is an organization for the girls of Ottumwa High School, is one of the largest clubs in the school since it has a membership of one hundred fifty. This club is sponsored jointly by the high school and the local Young Women's Christian Association. The club's purpose is to extend to every high school girl, regardless of race, creed, or color, an equal opportunity for membership in a club that will develop a well rounded personality, and to help the girls to become better citizens in the community, state, and nation. Meetings of the Hi-Tri are licit! twice each month, once in the high school and once at the Y. W. C. A. The first meeting in the month is a social meeting at which the girls become better acquainted and also have an enjoyable time. The second meeting of the month is a business meeting at which suggestions for the improvement and activities of the club are submitted and discussed. The Hi-Tri has as one of its projects the selling of refreshments at the school games, anti it is with the money earned in this way that the club finances its varied activities. The faculty member who is in charge of Hi-Tri is Miss Florence Daniels. During the past year the following girls served as officers of the club: President, Jane Fasulcs; Vice-President, Corrine Fredrickson; Secretary, Shea Halachoulis; Treasurer, Helen Vinson. Pace 87 THE 19 4 1 ARGUS Haahr and Taylor Directors of the Commercial Club COMMERCIAL CLUB The Commercial Club was organized not only for social purposes, but for teaching its members business methods before they actually have to apply them. The membership of the Commercial Club consists of over fifty students who are eligible if they arc taking or have al- ready taken at least two commercial subjects. Frequently at the meetings local business men arc asked to speak about business interests and its problems. These meetings are of great in- terest to the members, who often discuss and solve business problems themselves. Also for entertainment an annual banquet is held for all members. This club is sponsored jointly by Mr. Marion Haahr and Miss Mable Taylor.

Page 88 THE 19 4 1 ARGUS The club officers and sponsors in conference LATIN CLUB “Facta non Verba” which is the motto of the Latin Club, means “deeds, not words.” This is kept in mind by everyone of the mem- bers. To every student who attains a satis- factory grade in Latin, the privilege of joining the Latin Club is granted. The purpose of the club is to develop a deeper understanding of the life of the ancient Romans. Several times during the year the Latin Club has its regular meetings, social as well as business. At each meeting stories, poems, and plays about Roman life and cus- toms are presented. Part of each meeting is devoted to having a good time. The first meet- ing of the year is the induction, when the new members arc informally initiated by the old members. Other outstanding events are the annual Christmas banquet, which is patterned after the old Roman Saturnalia, and the spring picnic. At the banquet Christmas carols are sung in Latin, and even the menus arc printed in Latin. The officers, who arc similar to those in the government of ancient Rome, this year arc: Consuls, Norma Metz and Wallace Michencr; Praetor, Bill Bibb; Secrctarius, Bill Clift; Quaestor, Harriet Pettigrew; Censor, Betty Jean Loerkc; anti Janitor, Don McCall.

The meetings arc held once a month. The object is to afford amuse- ment by introducing students informally to the French civilization through talks, music, folk dances, festivals, and masquerades. The sponsor of this club. Miss Florence Fast, planned many fine activities for the club members this past year. A glee club was formed in which a number of new French songs were learned. Other activities for which the club frequently assumed responsibility were celebrations of French holidays or anniversaries, and the presentation of plays in the French language. One club meeting, in the spring of the year, was an out of doors party, to which all members came in peasant costumes. Here they took part in folk dances and sang songs of the old provinces. A meal typical of the provinces was served. Among other club enterprises were the French art program, the exhibition of French dolls, and the Mardi Gras, which was an occasion for a masked ball. To improve their knowledge of French conversation, the members of the French Club held spelling matches and worked French crossword puzzles. Some students kept up correspondence with French boys and girls. This not only gave them a much better understanding of French life, but also helped to promote good will be- tween the youth of the two nations. The club was governed by the students themselves under the supervision of Miss Fast. The business of the meetings was conducted in French.

Membership requires only a passing grade in Spanish, and “once a member, always a member” applies to the former Spanish students. Many times during the school year, the members of the Spanish Club get together and have en- tertainments of all kinds. While the weather is warm, they go on picnics. During the winter months their parties are held indoors, and the jovial spirit of the club prevails throughout the entire season. Occasionally, however, during the winter, the brave and hardy members of the Spanish Club bundle themselves up in many coats and sweaters and join in pastimes unknown in warm, sunny Spain skating, sliding, and sleighing. One party stands out as the highlight or climax of the Spanish Club's get-togethers. This is the masquerade party for which each member must endeavor to costume himself in as nearly perfect Spanish costume as possible. This party is also unusual from another point of view. While the members of the club speak Spanish at all of their parties, at this particular party they follow the Spanish customs as to manners, food, and games. This year, as usual, the group held their Hallowe’en party, which featured an excursion through a “haunted” house. The Spanish Club also presented the high school band with a beautiful new Hag, which it pur- chased with donations from Ottumwa businessmen. This flag is carried in front of the band whenever it marches. The officers of the Spanish Club arc: President, Horton Smith; Vice-President, Helen Vinson; Secretary and Treasurer, La Fawn Strunk; Program Chairman, Marion Higdon. The Spanish Club is under the guidance of Mr. Hamlcy.

The purpose of the organization is to interest these girls in the duties of home and community, and to train them to make the home more pleasant and more attractive. The work of the club is of great variety, including the planning of entertainment and acting as hostesses. Each member has the opportunity to be the hostess at a monthly meeting. During this year the girls studied the art of homemaking. Careful attention was given to interior decorating and other arts. Occasionally, well-known authorites on home- making spoke at the meetings.

Helen Robinson, Miss Standing, Lenorc Katsch The Mary Lyons Club of the Future Teachers of America is composed of those junior and senior students who arc taking the Normal Training Course. This club is directly affiliated with the National Education Associa- tion, which sponsors similar clubs throughout the nation in universities, colleges and high schools. The theory upon which the F. T. A. is based is that whatever happens to mankind in the future depends upon the youth of today. The Future Teachers of America is a na- tion-wide movement to improve the character of American life by improving the quality of the people who take up teaching as a career. The development of character and personality is an important part in the preparation for teaching, and this is one of the goals for which the members of the club arc striving. Another aim of the club is to acquaint the teachers in training with the hislorv, ethics and program of the organized teaching profession. The Ottumwa High School's chapter of the Future Teachers of America, under the careful guid- ance of Miss Ethel Standing, is working toward physical vitality, mental vigor, moral discrim- ination, wholesome quality, and leadership on the part of each member. At the F. T. A. meetings, held each month, educational prob- lems and social activities are discussed.

Pace 97 ATHLETICS COACHING STAFF Don Newell Butcii Kaltenbacii Bud Bollman Don Newell, head coach of the football and track teams, has again given us proof as to his ability as a high school mentor. Coach Newell consistently turns out football and track teams that we, the student body, arc proud to call our own. A native Iowan, Newell attended Iowa Wesleyan College, where he proved his worth by winning major letters in football, basketball, and track. In addition to his athletic powers, Mr. Newell engaged in forensic activities and other forms of school and campus life. He began his coaching career at Fenton, Iowa, where he also served as principal. Coach Newell came to us from Eddyville, where he served as coach for one year. E. J. Kaltcnbach is now serving his fourth year as a member of the Ottumwa High School coaching staff and his second as head coach of basketball. In addition to being basketball coach, Kaltcnbach is line coach of the football team. Last year Butch” inaugurated his first year as basketball mentor by turning out the best squad that O. H. S. has had for quite a while. Mr. Kaltcnbach received his B. A. Degree from Iowa State Teachers' College and since then has taken his M. A. Degree at the State Uni- versity. He was superintendent of Public Schools in Clermont and later held the same position at Melbourne; he also taught at East High, Waterloo, before coming to Ot- tumwa. 'fhe latest addition to Ottumwa's coaching staff is Leslie Bollman, now in his second year at O. II. S. Mr. Bollman has taken over the Freshman-Sophomore foot- ball, basketball, anti track squads. His basketball team went undefeated throughout last season. In addition to his coaching duties, Bollman has charge of the physical education department and is also supervisor of all intramural activities. Mr. Bollman graduated from Penn College, and since then has held coaching positions at Mitchell- ville, Dexter, and Knoxville, Iowa. Pace 98 This year the Ottumwa High School football team opened it season against the Albia High Demons. Displaying a vast amount o potential power, the O. II. S. gricUlcrs avenged last year's defeat. We won the opening game 25 to 0. Ottumwa opened Little Six competition the following week by winning a hard fought battle from a strong Ft. iMadison eleven. The score, Ottumwa 14, Ft. Madison 6. Presenting a strong defense plus a well rounded offense, the Bull dogs next whipped the Washington Redskins; the score, Ottumwa 26 Washington 0. The next week our Bulldog eleven ran up against the powerfu Fairfield Trojans. Although fighting to the last minute, our boys came home on the short end of a 19 to 38 score. The Bulldogs bounced back with a vengeance and swamped the Mt. Pleasant eleven the following week; the score, Ottumwa 31, Mt. Pleasant 0. Bob Dickerson's educated toe provided Ottumwa with the extra margin of victory that marred Keokuk's Homecoming by the score of 7 to 6. Power and a tight defense in the pinches proved too much for our Bulldogs in the Burlington game. A brave Ottumwa eleven went down to an 8 to 0 defeat. Once again displaying their quick recuperating powers, the Ot- tumwa gridders literally crushed a weak Muscatine eleven; 47—0. Ottumwa traveled to Oskaloosa for its traditional battle with the Central Iowa loop champions. Although outplaying the Indians all the way, our Bulldogs had to be content with a scoreless tie—Ottumwa 0, Oskaloosa 0. THE 1941 ARGUS FOOTBALL SQUAD Row I Kenneth Randall.

These four people perform at athletic events of all kinds and at pep assemblies, which arc held the day before every game to inspire the team to victory. When the Ottumwa Bulldogs arc losing, the cheer leaders must keep up the morale of the students, for a team isn't able to do much without the entire student body behind them. Up until three years ago these four people were selected by some of the faculty members. Mr. Snyder, who then was the faculty adviser, decided that since the cheer leaders were to represent the student body and since the students, not the faculty, were to be led by them, that it would be proper for the students to elect them. Since then we have held an assembly each fall to give the students, interested in leading the student body, a chance to try-out ' before their class mates. This year there were more than twenty students who tried out. From these twenty the student body elected Shea Halachoulis, Jo Ann Jacobs, Horton Smith and Joe Canny. Upon the shoulders of these four is placed the seemingly impossible task of instilling pep and loyalty into the student body at pep assemblies and at the games. When the breaks arc going the other way, these four have the responsibility of arousing enthusiasm and loyalty among the students who in turn inspire the team. We must remember that without the support of the student body the cheer leaders are able to do little, so we should do our part and veil when we are asked. We all should acknowl- edge the task of the cheer leaders and give them our heartiest support. Horton Smith Jo Ann Jacobs Shea Halachoulis Joe Canny Page 102 Pre-season statistics destined the Ottumwa High School basketball team as Little Six conference champions and likely contenders for the state championship. However, the predictions were shattered, as our cage warriors finished the Little Six race in a tie with Keokuk for fourth place, winning eight and losing six conference battles. We take some consolation however, in the fact that our Bulldogs beat Burlington, the co- champions of the Little Six. Nevertheless, the Bulldogs did not fail to partake of some of the fruits of battle. Coach Kaltenbach, relying on a tight defense rather than on a lightning offense, helped his cagcrs to finish the season with the second best defensive record in the league. Al Farrington landed the berth at center on the All-Little Six Team. Gabby Ware was named to the guard post on the Little Six Second Honor Team. At the close of the season the boys added two more trophies to the school's col- lection, winning the sectional tournament at Albia and the district tournament at Centerville. In the sub-state tournament they went down to defeat in a hard fought battle with Grinnell.

The 1940 Ottumwa High School track team, under the able direction of Coach Don Newell, finish- ed the season with a record that we of O. II. S. can well be proud. Bolstered by a two-mile relay team, composed of Chester Sedore, Earl Sauer, Joe Lord, and Don Doolittle, and an equally potent 880 year relay squad, the boys took the measure of such schools as Oskaloosa, Albia, and Centerville in open- ing dual meets. After once gaining their full stride, the track squad proceeded to take second place in both the Little Six indoor meet, held in the Iowa University Held house, and the outdoor meets, in which our medley relay team, composed of Tilton Dant, Bob Williams, Jim Sheets, and Earl Sauer set a new conference record for the event. The squad took its annual trip to Iowa City for the State Indoor meet, where they upheld the prestige of U. I I. S. by capturing fourth place. Here it was that Danny Smith became the State Indoor Mile Champion. Riding on the crest of a victory streak the boys took second place in the Fort Madison Relays, which drew competitors from several surrounding states. The Bulldogs entered the District meet, held here in Ottumwa, as the favorite to take the crown, but unfortunately dropped to third place, although Frank Phillips captured the blue ribbon in the high hurdles. To close the year. Coach Newell took an abbreviated squad to Quincy, Illinois, for the an- nual Quincy Relays. The team surprised us all by finishing second in this, the last meet of the season. The graduating seniors on the track team are Earl Sauer, John Ask, Tilton Dant, Danny Smith, Loren Guitcr, and Bill Schmitz. The student body wishes to congratulate these seniors and all others on the squad for such a successful season. Pack 106 CROSS COUNTRY Gene Signmn Joe Lord Harold Harvey Dan Smi(l) Chet Scdorc The Cross Country team of Ottumwa High School, under the able direction of Coach Don Newell consisted of five boys: Danny Smith, Chester Scdorc, Joe Lord, Gene Sigman, and Harold Harvey. Ottumwa got off to a good start by defeating Oskaloosa in a dual meet held at Ottumwa. Improving rapidly under the careful supervision of their coach, the squad took its annual trip to Iowa City for the State Mile Meet. These five boys, competing against the best runners the state has to offer, placed the Bulldog banner at the top of the mast by winning the team championship. Chester Scdorc walked off with the individual honors by taking first place. Danny Smith placed fourth, and Joe Lord placed a close sixth. Once again the squad traveled to Iowa City, this time for a chance at the State Cross Country title. After the dust had settled, the Bulldog banner once again flew above all the rest. Danny Smith led the Ottumwa team this time by taking third place; Chet Scdorc finished fifth, and Joe Lord was right on his heels, finishing sixth. Two state championships in one year -that is a record of which the student body may well be proud. The Cross Country team is probably one of the least heralded of all our high school athletic teams. These athletes practice faithfully each night without the recognition due them from the student body. They practice because they like to run, and perhaps, most of all, because of their loyalty to their school. True, it isn't as thrilling to watch a Cross Country race as it is to watch a football or basketball game, but these boys are doing their part for our school, as are the football and basketball players. Surely after the fine record they have made, you will give them your whole-hearted support in tnc future. Pack 107 THE 19 4 1 ARGUS GOLF Row I—Chuck Taylor. Row II—Roger Poling, Hall Koontz, Horton Smith, Don Anderson, Phil Darby- shire, Bill Fritz. Row III—Chan von Schrader, Mr. Kaltcnbach, Jack Matheus. The athletic team receiving the least amount of credit and the only team that consistently keeps its winning pace is the Ottumwa High School golf squad. Year after year these boys travel state wide and very seldom do they fail to return with high laurels. The 1940 golf team was no exception to this rule. Starting the season minus the steady stroking of John Stoltz and Hal Beck, lost by mid-year graduation, the team got off to a rather shaky start by tying Oskaloosa in a dual meet and finishing second in a triangular engagement with Oskaloosa and Albia. Improving rapidly, the boys proceeded to take the measure of Fairfield twice in a row. The squad then traveled to Cedar Rapids for the annual Cedar Rapids Invitational Tournament, but here the best they could do was to take eleventh place. A team composed of Charles Taylor, Roger Poling, Jack Redman, and Bill Fritz, carrying the Bulldog colors into the state meet at I9es Moines, did very well by capturing fourth place. Little Charles Taylor placed close to the leaders for individual honors at this meet. Riding the crest of their victory streak, the boys whipped the North High, Des Moines golfers twice in succession. At last, rising to top form, the same four boys who had gone to Cedar Rapids traveled to Keokuk for the Little Six meet, and for the fourth consecutive year captured the crown. Here it was that Charles Taylor, playing top-notch golf, became individual champion of the Little Six. Those who were on the golf squad last year were Charles Taylor, Roger Poling, Jack Redman, Bill Fritz, Jack Matheus, Hall Koontz, Don Anderson, Chandler von Schrader, and Phil Darbyshirc. Mr. Kaltcnbach, in his first year as coach of the golf team, turned out a team of which (). II. §. may be proud.

The word “Intramural when literally translated from the Latin means “between the walls. Thus, Intramural Sports are those held within our own walls. Only a few of the many high school boys interested in the various sports are able to make the varsity squads. Therefore, intramural sports provide an opportunity for the rest to take part in competitive sports. There arc various sports such as basketball, softball, wrestling, and boxing in the intramural program. After the first few weeks of school have passed there is a meeting of all the boys interested in in- tramural basketball. The freshmen have a league of their own and elect eight captains. The re- maining boys arc divided into light and heavy weight classes determined by their weight. Eight captains arc elected in each group. The teams are then chosen. Mr. Bollman, who is the supervisor, makes out the schedule which is run on a round robin basis. Each team plays the other, each one competing for the championship of its league. Each member of a championship team is awarded an intramural letter at Honor Assembly by Mr. Bollman. In boxing and wrestling each boy who signs up is placed in a certain class, determined by his weight. Here every boy competes against opponents of his class, each one being eliminated if he ioscs. As in basketball, each champion of the different classes is awarded an intramural letter. Last year Mr. Bollman introduced co-educational volleyball. The teams were made up of the same number of boys as girls. This was very popular with the student body. Intramural games are held during the noon hour and after school. Student referees, timekeepers and scorekeepers manage the games. Intramural sports not only give everyone an opportunity to engage in athletics, but also promote good sportsmanship among the students. J ACE 109 THE 19 4 1 ARGUS G. A. A.

A. ,was organized with the purpose of promot- ing the interest of girls in the athletic activities of the school. The Girls’ Athletic Association of Ot- tumwa High School is affiliated with the State G. A. A. League. The ambition of every member of the club is to win a G. A. A. letter. When a girl has earned five hundred points, she is entitled to one of these letters. To earn these points each girl may take part in any of the sports that she desires; but she cannot earn more than one-third of all of her points in any one certain sport. After she has been awarded her letter, if she is able to earn an additional five hun- dred points, she may obtain a state G. A. A. pin. Since the club is affiliated with the State G. A. A. League, a girl may transfer the points she has earned at this school to any other school in the stale which has a chapter of the G. A. A. Among the games in which the members of the club take part arc volley ball, baseball, badminton, and hit-pin ball. The last, which is the most recent addition to the club's list of activities, has at- tracted wide-spread interest among the other members of the student body. The teams for these games arc chosen by the girls, and then the captains are elected by the members of each team. After this has been done, the various teams play each other in tournaments similar to the boys' intramural tournaments. The games arc played after school in the gymnasium. The faculty adviser of the club is Miss Esther Compton, the director of girls' Physical Education at the high school. The officers of the G. A. A. are: President, Dorothy McCart; Secretary, Mary Jane Cherry; Treasurer, Frances Michael.

Among the various athletic organizations, the Shark Club is one of the few dealing with girls’ sports. As it is an honor swimming society, the club maintains its high standards by requiring strict entrance tests of al! new members. Tryouts for admission to the club are held at the beginning of each semester, and only the best swimmers are chosen. This year fifteen members were taken into the organization, which now consists of thirty-two members. To remain in the club, each girl is required to pass the Junior Life-Saving test during the first year of her membership, thus enabling her to act as a life guard in one of the girls’ swimming classes. The highlight of the club’s activities comes when the club presents its annual water show to the general public. 'Phis pageant is unusual because it is presented in mid-winter, which is not the regular swimming season. This show is always planned along a definite theme, and the costumes, decorations, lighting effects, and music all fit in to make a beautiful display. The girls spend long hours practic- ing for this event, since a smooth and flawless demonstration demands the cooperation of every member. Some of the displays included are plain and fancy diving, stroke drills and rhythm swimming, water formations, humorous stunts and games, and life-saving demonstrations. Emphasis placed on co- operation and perfect timing as well as skill makes this annual festival a spectacle not soon to be for- gotten. The officers of the club for this year were: President, Jane Fasulcs; Vice-President, Dorothy Dell Kirkhart; Secretary, Shirley Baker; and Treasurer, Barbara Markley. Under the guidance of these officers and with tlie valuable instruction of Miss Ernestine Davidson, the adviser, the Shark Club experienced one of its most successful years. Page 111 THE 19 4 1 ARGUS ARCHERY Corinne Crowder, Claractta Owen, Mablc Lou Phillips, La Thclla Gillis Archery, which is the art of shooting with a bow and arrow, is one of the oldest pastimes of man. However, it was first used for carrying on war, and the origin of the bow as an instrument of war is lost in obscurity. With all the ancient peoples, both civilized and barbaric, the bow was a favorite weapon, and skill in the use of it was regarded as a princely accomplishment. The Greeks and the Romans employed archers to draw the enemy into action. The exploits of the ancient Egyptian archers rivaled those of the Middle Ages. During the Middle Ages archery was regarded as a national pastime in England and other countries of Europe. The winning of many battles, including the battle of Hastings, was due to the skill and intrepidity of the archers. Due to the trend toward individual sports, archery is again becoming a most popular pastime. Two years ago archery classes were organized in the Physical Education Department of the Ottumwa High School. These classes are open to all girls who have had at least one semester of dancing and one semester of swimming. The archery classes, under the direction of Miss Ernestine Davidson, have now increased their enrollment to more than fifty girls. Besides providing a sport with which persons may amuse themselves individually in their leisure time, archery also has the advantage of being both an outdoor and an indoor sport. Each spring the girls taking archery hold a tournament, in which the winning archer of either of the three groups, B, A, and Advanced Archery, receive medals. To acquire superiority in this sport, constant practice to gain deftness and skill is necessary. Not only docs archery provide an excellent source of pleasure, but it also furnishes healthful recrea- tion to everyone taking part in it. GIRLS’ ATHLETICS Pace 112 BATON T¥IRLER5 Row I -Mary Cain, Audrey Duke, Boh M. Wilkinson, Kay Hilliard. Mary Glattfcldcr. Row II—Norma Sowder, Marjorie Yurko, Jean Click, Jean Collier. “As we hear the beat, beat, beat of the marching feet. And the brass of the band blares around us. In martial array on this bright, sunny day, Comes a sight to delight and astound us. With the stirring sound of a martial air ringing in our ears, a picturesque sight greets our eyes. Marching down the street, stepping high, smiling gayly, come the drum majorettes and baton spinners in their colorful ensembles. They make a gay, sparkling, and distinctive addition to the Ottumwa High School Marching Band. At all of the parades and football games the girls have performed with astonishing grace and agility. This organization was founded two years ago as a class of baton spinners, and has grown into a separate corps, participating in all of the band’s activities. There was only one drum majorette at the head of the band in the beginning. Since then it has grown until we now have a drum major and two drum majorettes. Their gleaming white satin skirts and jackets are strikingly attractive as they lead the group of eight baton spinners, each attired in a sparkling red skirt and white jacket. Their jaunty little red caps add a saucy note to the entire ensemble. The batons which they spin so skillfully arc made of a special lightweight alloy which was develop- ed for the making of batons only. Some of the batons have special protective pads on each end to guard against damage resulting from dropping the baton. Pack 115 THE 19 4 1 ARGUS French Chib float—a winner The Debate Chib float An incomplete forward pass HOMECOMING Every year a certain date is set aside on which the students of Ottumwa High School celebrate Homecoming. This year it was held on Saturday, November 2. The parade, which was much more suc- cessful than hast year, was approximately a block and a half long. The queen following the band was the main attraction. The three winning floats were: First, French Club; Sec- ond, Art Club; and Third, Spanish Club. The crowds who attended the Musca tine- Ottumwa game saw little competition for our team, Ottumwa winning, 47—0. The Homecoming dance, which concluded a perfect Autumn day, was a gala event. It was here that Kay Hilliard was crowned queen. Music lor the dance was furnished by Bill Scott's orchestra. Hi-Y President, Bob Mnllicus crowns Kay Hilli- ard, Homecoming Queen Marietta Kirk, Attendant Kay Hilliard, Queen Ann Rowe, Attendant Pack 114 A HILARIOUS HOMECOMING On October 28th, the first vote was cast for the Homecoming Queen. The following clays were anticipated by those who had a friend for whom they wished to vote. Students could be seen gathered around the polls in every spare moment before and after school and between classes. Towards the latter part of the week, the votes for three of the girls were very close. When the last ballot had been cast, Kay Milliard, candidate for the Argus News, was elected queen. Ann Rowe and Marietta Kirk, candidates for the Student Council and Hi-Tri respectively, were her attendants.

A business can no more make itself than a man can lift himself by his own bootstraps. The PEOPLE THEM- SELVES do all the making. If they LIKE you, you flourish. If they don't like you, you fade . . . and that's THAT! From all appearances, several million peo- ple seem to think pretty well of SEARS, ROEBUCK AND CO........................... SEARS. ROEBUCK AND CO. Page 150 c omnion ► en.se “Nothing astonishes men so much as common sense.” Ralph IFaldo Emerson Perhaps the most valuable result of all education is the ability to make yourself do the thing you have to do, when it ought to be done, whether you like it or not. It is the first lesson that ought to be learned; and however early a man's training begins, it is probably the last lesson that he learns thoroughly. Irrespective of the amount of academic train- ing which is acquired by a young man or woman, only the use to which our God-given common sense is put will finally spell the success of education. Common sense remains the basis of all educa- tion. Keep it, cherish it, use it through all your days. Tlie Ottumwa C o uner JOHN HUSTON, Publisher.
