Me remembers the kind and thoughtful faculty who so willingly aided and counseled him throughout his high school career. Always vivid in his memory will remain the democratic principles of government practiced on a small scale by the election and administration of the student council. For a well-rounded curriculum and a pleasant guide to higher education, the average senior is indeed grateful.

FACULTY ’43 To the faculty members of the Ottumwa High School is due the greatest appreciation from the entire student body. Their interest not only accompanies us during the time we are in high school, but remains with us through- out the years following our graduation. Be- cause of their encouragement, we have been able to accomplish our daily tasks in school life. Their timely advice and constructive criticism are the factors which will help us to achieve future success. Pace 10 The faculty has undergone several changes this year. There are now fifty regular teachers in high school, plus four on the office staff, making a total of fifty-four faculty members. Of these, five are new to 0. H. S. Miss Arlene Danielson is the new drama- tic coach. She also has classes in speech and English. The new commercial teacher is Mr. Meh ’in Bell. Miss Ida Rosenman, who is also teaching in the commercial department, is back after a year’s leave of absence during which she obtained her Master's Degree from Columbia University. Miss Ruth Roth is now teaching sociology and civics, and Mr. Victor Hahn is the instructor for the new machine shop. DAVIS. ELIZABETH History. Counsellor. B. A. HAMLEY, LAURENCE—Spanish.

Among other duties, the board has the authority to manage all the finances of the district, elect teachers, provide supplies, pur- chase sites and build schools, hire custodians, and make all necessary rules and regulations. The members of this year's school boat'd are C. D. Evans, Dr. Gerald W. Loerke, Ern- est Manns, S. G. Rickard, Dr. Marry E. Wing, Mrs. Matt O. Lawrence, and Harold V. Wilson. To these people much credit must be given for their generous contributions of time and effort in the interest of education. KITTLISgpN, AGNES—History. Counsellor. M. A. University of Jown.

Dorothy Snyder FACULTY ’43 To the counselors, a group of six faculty members, every student in high school owes a debt of sincere gratitude, as they are the ones who plan his courses and help him through his school years. These counselors work with a student, finding out what his interests are, and planning subjects that will prepare him for the future. 'The group is composed of Miss Nye, Miss Jamison, Miss Kittleson, Miss Davis, Miss Vacha, and C. N. Johnson. Page 15 Student Council Dorothy Baker Bill Bell Bill Bibb Roller!

Bill Bibb The student council is the forerunner of democracy in Ottumwa High School. Any institution in order to function smoothly must have a governing hotly to enforce its rules anti regulations. Our student council is Just such an organization. Any person chosen for this high honor must be very deserving of it. Councilmen are chosen by tne students anti must have ability in judgment and leadership plus a high scholas- tic rating. Some of the numerous duties of student council are: direction of the reserve system, management of lost and found, and sponsor of noon movies and dances. The president. Bill Bibb, presides over the student court. The student court gives a student trial for violations of school rules. The fact that the council has proved its definite value in high school life is due greatly to the assistance of Miss Rose Miller, who heads the group. Pack 14 Torch Club Dick Henneman, Belly Jean Locrkc, Miss Enoch, Bol Kemble. Waller Johnson The one organization in Ottumwa High School which should he the goal of every stu- dent is the Torch Club, our local chapter of the National Honor Society. To attain mem- bership in this organization a student must excel in the four aims of Torch Club. These arc scholarship, leadership, character, and service. To qualify from the standpoint of scholarship a candidate must have an average of eighty-five per cent, or above. Character is based on behavior both in and out of school. Leadership and service go together since they both represent help to the school through extra- curricular activities. To be eligible a student must be in his junior or senior year. The members of Torch Club are carefully chosen by a faculty committee of which Miss Clara Enoch is the chairman. Row I Miss Enoch, Elizabeth Bruce, Dale Fern.

Page lt Senior Class Officers •� Miss Schick Clark Wymorb Roy Stevens Adviser President Vice President Bill Bell Don Farrington Secretary Treasurer During the four high school years through which each student passes, there are many setbacks and many disappointments, and yet, when the student strolls down the aisle as a graduating senior and pauses to reflect upon the past four years, he realizes that it was well worth the struggle. We, the class of 1943, will ever after re- member our high school years as perhaps the happiest, least complicated, and freest days of our lives. As we leave our “dear old Alma Mater ' the memory of our four years' rise will come over us—for as lowly freshman we timidly entered the big halls of O. II. S. and as conquering seniors we proudly strut forth. We've endeavored to gain many good traits during this period and it was toward this goal we have striven. There are people who are thrifty with money, who throw away golden moments as if they were of no value. Long before we arc old, we will come to regret the time we wasted in our youth, but there is one thing we will never regret—the time and attention given to our school work and extra-curricular activi- ties during our high school years. We hope that an observer of the four years' record we leave at O. II. S. will sec that we seniors have tried to learn the value of time. In this era, in which strong bodies and minds play such an important role in the lives of young people, we trust the evidence of this fine characteristic is prominent in the present graduating class. All through our school days we, the members of this class, have tried to play and work with unceasing vigor to build up our bodies and minds for the things ex- pected from us after graduation. From our ranks have come some of this year’s heroes of football and basketball, the dramatic stars, and the outstanding musicians all imbued with a desire to make our school the best in good sportsmanship. We believe that among the members of our class there are many of these good sportsmen, whether they have been prominent in activities or not. They are those whose spirit of sacrifice, service, and co-operation has endured al! the cycle of school years—they’ve all cheered and rooted for our school and class enthusiastically; but they've also taken defeat smilingly. We are unceasingly grateful to all the teachers who have so tirelessly and willingly helped us in our high school life, and especially our thanks and gratitude are extended to Miss Schick, our class adviser, whose aid to the class of '45 has never been lacking. We leave our place as seniors to the junior class in hopes that they will have as many memories of a wonderful high school life of study and play as will return to us in coming years. Through the knowledge gained in our application of study we feel that “the largest class ever to be graduated from O. H. S.“ is now ready to depart for the outside world with our class motto before us— “To success we have the key. We're the class of '43.'' Page 17 Seniors Dick Ackley Ted E.

Page 44 Junior Class Officers Miss Taylor, Adviser Lawrence Swanson, Vice President Constance Morrell, Treasurer Paul Sotcropulos, President Bob Bastron, Secretary During the years spent in the primary grades, we students always thought we were anxious to finish school. Now, with the re- alization that there is but one year of school left for most of us, we do not care for that year to hasten by. These past two years spent at Ottumwa High School have been both profita- ble and enjoyable and it is with a touch of re- gret that we view our final year. We, the class of '44, have shown that we are not a class to be scoffed at. We have proved ourselves in scholastic ability, in athletics, dramatics, music, and all other activities of 0. H. S. In the coming year we hope to further our standing with other class- es in these fields until none can surpass us. In this, our junior year, we have had fun working on the various extra-curricular proj- ects undertaken by our class. We sponsored the annual high school carnival at which we offered war bonds as door prizes. With the profit from this venture, we planned and pre- sented the Junior-Senior Prom. Our efforts to furnish good clean fun for all was greatly appreciated by the student body. We were equally vigorous when it came to studying. Knowing that our country was at war and that we must prepare ourselves physically and mentally, we studied with a vengeance. We arc looking even more seri- ously toward next year. We must continue to prepare ourselves so that we may help our country in her life and death struggle. We know that extra-curricular activities will be cut down. We also know that learning will be stepped up. There will be no room for those who take the I don't care attitude. This would lead people to believe that we look with fear to our senior year. Of course this is an erroneous thought. We look forward to our senior year with great expectation. With an adviser like Miss Taylor, and such fine officers as we have, we plan to progress to great extents. The class of 1943 has left a record which will be difficult to beat, but the class of 1944 feels that it is capable of doing it. So— Open wide success' door. We're the class of '44!.

Pack 50 Sophomore Class Officers Miss Vinton, Adviser Bob Kaufman, Secretary Jim McClure, President Sidney Poling, Treasurer Jimmy Van Antwerp, Vice President “Watch us work and watch us strive, We're the class of '45'.“ Such is the slogan of the Sophomore Class and well may it be interpreted, for with the absence of the Freshman Class from O. I I. S. this year the Sophomores must make up for them as well as carrying on for themselves. It has lieen apparent that the Sophomore Class is carrying out the policy of their motto with ambition and confidence. Always ready to help them overcome any obstacles which they might encounter during the year was Miss Catherine Vinton, a capable and helpful adviser. With two years of high school be- hind them and two years yet to go before they complete their high school careers, they have now reached the half way mark. The sopho- more year is often said to be one of the best years of high school. At this time the stu- dents can begin to plan for the future which applies to their remaining years of school edu- cation, both high school and college, and their work after completing school. Although the members of this class have not made themselves greatly known as yet, they may be found well represented in all extra-currciular activities, and in the future they will hold the spot-light in all fields. With- in the next two years those who are now sopho- mores will be seen as the main characters in the plays and operettas. They will be win- ning declam and debate meets, and they will also form our football, basketball, track, and intramural teams. For these and additional reasons the progress of the sophomores should lie watched ov all. They arc prepared to dis- play their various talents in the best possible way. Therefore, we may expect great things from this class. Although a comparatively few of the sophomores were here for their freshman year, the majority of us arc experienc- ing our first year of being in O. H. S. and wish to thank the upperclassmen and faculty for the welcome we nave received. As a means of showing our appreciation we shall endeavor to carry on the work left us to the best of our ability and to co-operate and work with the faculty in all undertakings.

Clark H. C. Rnsch O. V. Fnubcr As proof of Ottumwa’s steadily increas- ing imputation we now have the new junior high system. Until this year we have had only one school which could he called a true school for intermediates. Now we have three —the Washington Junior High, the Stuart Junior High, and the Franklin School. Their principals are O. W. Fauber, S. R. Clark, and H. C. Rasch, respectively. The enrollment of these schools at the end of last September came to the grand total of eleven hundred forty-one students. There arc thirty teachers and supervisors, four custodians and three secretaries employed in the three schools, they are located in different parts of the city —Washington on West Fourth, Stuart at Wilson and Ward, and Franklin on North Walnut. In this way, practically all junior high students are near their own schools. The main purpose of the junior high is to teach the young students those things which must come between their elementary training in the grades and their advanced studies in “big high.’’ Some of these junior subjects arc Latin, government, algebra, the industrial arts, and general science. Not all of their time is spent in studying, for they are busily preparing to become (). H. S s stars of tomor- row in football, basketball, track, dramatics, music, art, and journalism. The schools com- pete in city-wide tournaments in sports; they produce plays and operettas. Some of them even have their own news sheets. All of these things tend to create a sense of good-sports- manship, which is necessary for being a good citizen in both school and community. These students are to lie congratulated on their enthusiasm and their will to work and to learn. This is the kind of young people we, as upper- classmen, are happy to welcome to O. II. S. as our successore in our classes and activities. Pack 56 r WASHINGTON Row I -Margaret Deborn, Vivian Doud, Helen Brooks. Virginia Burt.

The largest of our intermediate schools is Washington Junior High. It has an en- rollment of five hundred three students for both eighth and ninth grades. There are eighteen teachers, two custodians, and one secretary employed in this building. Until the time of the completion of O. H. S. it served as Ottumwa's senior high school. Having been built in 1899, Washington school is com- paratively modern. It contains approximate- ly twenty classrooms, an auditorium, an in- dustrial arts shop, and a home economics de- partment. Its principal is Mr. O. W. Fauber, a man highly respected by all of the teachers and students working under him. He de- serves a great deal of credit for his excellent leadership. He received both his B. A. and M. A. degrees from Iowa University. The Franklin school is the only one of Ottumwa's elementary schools fortunate enough to be complete through the eighth and ninth grades. These higher grades were added because of the convenience afforded in this way to east-end residents with children of Pagk 58 STUART junior high age. There are about one hundred seventy students in this age group at Franklin School. There are seven teachers for this de- partment. This school was first established in 1894, but was not used as a junior high until this year. The principal of the Franklin school is Mr. Howard C. Rasch. He received his B. A. and his M. A. from Iowa University. The newest junior high in Ottumwa is located on the south side. It is the A. W. Stuart Junior High, formerly only an elemen- tary school. This year, however, it was de- ckled that a junior high was needed in south Ottumwa because of the crowded conditions of Washington Junior High and O. II. S. Its enrollment this year is four hundred sixty- seven students. They are supervised by fifteen teachers, a secretary, and a custodian. This institution was first built in 1913. Its principal is Mr. Sam R. Clark, a former O. H. S. social science teacher. He received his B. A. from Iowa Wesleyan College and has taken post-graduate courses at the Universi- ties of Iowa and Florida. Row I—Ralph Owen, Mary McElrov, Richard Snil- man.

Page 59 'S A BALANCE to study, the average senior finds relaxation and companionship in one or more extra-curricular activities. Looking back over the past four years, he recalls declam or dramatic club tryouts, or those unique Spanish Club meet- ings and parties. If music was his forte, perhaps he vocalized in mixed chorus, or played in the orchestra or band. If he was a member of the latter organization, he remembers marching in all kinds of weather and rendering extra service to the community. Maybe his most vivid memory will be of jam sessions in the cafeteria during leisure times. Whatever activities the average senior participated in, it is certain that his memories arc enjoyable.

We of the staff have endeavored to make this book something of which we shall all be proud. Now that the 1943 Argus An- nual is finished, we can truthfully say that every minute spent on the Annual has been time well spent and we feel that the work and effort of our staff has been profitably used. We ourselves are extremely proud of it, but you arc the real judges. Our true success can be determined by you as you linger over the pages, reliving your school year. Pace 64 This year, with the world at war, many unnecessary things have been discontinued for the duration and still others have been curtailed. The latter has happened to the Argus Annual. You probably will notice no marked change in your book, for it has been shortened by only a few pages, and it remains a record of your curricular, and extra-curricu- lar activities for this school year. The heads of the various departments and their stall's have endeavored to give you the best book possible anti one which you will be proud to |K)ssess. The business staff, the advertising staff, and the editorial staff, as well as the photographer and art editor, have all done their work on this wartime scale.

During advisory period, which is supposed to be an interlude between classes, our staff mounted and identified pictures, planned the cover, and did much other necessary work. We believe in the motto “Give credit where credit is due” and much credit for this year's Annual goes to Miss King, who helped greativ as the Annual adviser, and Miss Bur- rish, for her helpful criticisms and corrections.

Sally Cramblit Joan Cummings We would like to take this space to ex- press our appreciation and thanks to everyone who had any part in the 1945 Argus Annual. Special acknowledgments go to: Mr. Chisman, the photographer, who has been very helpful in our group and individual pictures. Jahn and Ollier, the engravers, and Mr. McClarv, their representative. The Ottumwa Stamp Work's staff, under Mr. Fisher's supervision. Kingsport Press and their representative, Mr. Beckett. Frank Jordan, who took all division and basketball pictures. Pace 65 THE ARGUS NEWS 'Flic Argus News, a four page account of O. II. S. activities, is published monthly by the Argus News Staff, which this year is com- prised of approximately thirty students. The paper was founded by the class of 1915 and is now in its twenty-seventh year of publication. The paper goes through a number of opera- tions before the students sec it as it is when they obtain it. Assignments arc first given out and after the reporters have covered their assignments and handed them in, the paper is then typed, proof-read, and is next sent to the Courier where the linotype operator sets up the type. After necessary corrections have been made the type is sent to the Printing De- partment of O. II. S. where it goes through the final stages. The paper is then ready for sale and may be obtained for five cents or free if one’s stamp card is up to date. By means of this organization pupils gain practical and helpful knowledge in journalism. Instead of having one editor for the complete paper as in previous years there are now page editors, who form a part of the editorial staff. The com- plete staff is composed of the editorial staff, news reporters, advertising staff, circulation staff, printing staff, and the Argus Daily editors. A sidelight of the Argus News is the Argus Daily. This is a mimeographed bulletin, im- portant because it contains indispcnsiblc news of club meetings, lost and found articles, as- semblies, unscheduled events, and other help- ful items. The Daily is published and dis- tributed to the teachers every day during the advisory period at which time it is read. It is written by members of the News staff. The Daily i; first typed by the two editors and is then sent to the office where it is mimeograph- ed. The Daily and the Argus News serve a two-fold purpose: to the student body as a whole and to those on the staff in an educa- tional way. This bulletin provides a simple way of reaching students, who otherwise might be difficult to contact. Miss Rosenman is sponsor of both the Daily and the News and Miss Burrish is the critic for both. In addition to serving on the Argus News Staff, the Quill and Scroll, a national journal- istic society, is open to all those excelling in service, character, and scholarship. Another national journalistic society is the Arguseers. This journalistic society is open to juniors and seniors who excel in English. Valuable ex- perience and training in journalism are offered in both societies.

H. S. Made up of approximately one hundred twenty- three members, this club is one of the largest extra-curricular societies we have. Each year the Dramatic Club members present three plays for the public and several other short programs for the student Ixxly. They also provide entertainment for various clubs and civic organizations. No stage production would be complete without effective make-up and unique staging; accordingly, the stage, electrical, make-up, costume, and other crews arc selected. The officers for the present year arc: Carolyn Johnson, president; Norma Metz, vice president; Virginia Williams, secretary; Donald Pumroy, treasurer. After earning seventy-five “hard to get” points, some of the more expert “old-timers” step up to the highest and most honored po- sition within the Dramatic Club; they become members of the Players' Club, a select group, looked up to by every Dramatic Club member. Among the various duties of this group arc the judging of Dramatic Club try-outs and the selection of the crew managers. Each spring a play, cast entirely from the Players' Club, is presented, a fitting culmination to their successful, co-operative effort.

PLAY f k y i This year's first dramatic production pre- sented under the direction of the new dramatic coach. Miss Arlene Danielson, was “Dulcy, a three act comedy. It was first given for the student body and later at an evening perfor- mance for adults. “Dulcy was the story of an enthusiastic wife whose many attempts to help her husband promote a big business deal failed. Her blundering attempts brought only misfortune to her husband and embarrassment to the other characters. Her last mistake—to every- one's surprise—brought the events to a happy climax for all. Much credit is due Miss Danielson and her assistant, Norma Metz, for the splendid job of directing. Other honors for the smooth production should go to the hundred or more students on the crews, who helped make “Dulcy a tremendous success.

Pace 69 DECLAM Front Row —Jean Peterson, Jacqueline Rankin, Miss LincUey, Norma Metz, Jeanette Ferguson, Dorothy Baker Bottom Row Wayne Naumann, Paul Van Order, Betty Danielson, Anciil Micrs, Lawrence Doolin Declam is an organization which offers a means of acquiring poise and self-confidence before an audience by means of the presenta- tion of readings. The readings come under three classifications—oratorical, dramatic, and humorous. In order to be in Declam, the students desiring to become members participate in a local contest from which the best speakers are chosen. These speakers then go to the county, and on to the sub-district, the district, and state contests, if successful. The national contests are next in line for declam students who have placed in the state contest and have proved their ability. The Iowa Nine is an- other contest to which the outstanding speak- ers are sent. Here there are contests for boys and girls. This year the Boys’ Iowa Nine was held in the 0. II.S. auditorium on Decem- ber seventh, and on February eighth the girls journeyed to Muscatine to take part in the Girls' Iowa Nine. Ottumwa has been repre- sented by two speakers in each division. Of the twenty-nine students competing for de- clamatory honors those who are in the picture came out in first place. Although the preliminaries of declam work are held rather early in order to deter- mine the winners, the actual declam season does not get under way until after Christmas, during the second semester. Miss Dorothy Lindlev has charge of coaching the declam members. Another phase of declam is the presenta- tion of prose, poetry, radio speaking, extem- poraneous speaking, and original oratory. These presentations are given in various cities throughout the school year. Two of the con- tests considered most imjjortant are those held at Coe College in Cedar Rapids and Iowa City during the spring. The other contests arc of cither equal or less imjjortancc than the two previously mentioned. The presentation of readings is interesting because in this manner the students arc able to transmit their ideas and emotions to others. As it is one of the most worthwhile organiza- tions in our high school and because it offers many advantages, it is hoped that in the future the membership will be increased. Former declamatory students of O. H. S. have left behind them a record of which we may all be proud. Pace 70 DE P A DEBATE Any student who is shy, nervous, and has no poise before an audience, whether it is a class or a student assembly, is sure to want to belong to the Debate Club. This club was set up expressly to teach boys and girls the “do's and “don't's of public speaking and to instill in them ability and confidence. The Debate Club has a three-fold purpose: to hold together those participating in debate and those who are interested in supporting speech work, a social purpose, and constantly to keep speech work before the student body. Stu- dents get practice in speaking before audiences in tournament debates with rival teams, out of town as well as in Ottumwa. Besides ac- complishing the art of speaking, the research work involved is of great aid in assembling facts systematically. Besides going on debate conference trips and debating against rival teams, picnics, meetings, and an informal initiation for the induction of new members form a part of the activities. The concessions at football and basketball games are also in charge of this group. By participating in these and other ac- tivities, points are acquired. When an in- dividual has gained twenty points, he or she is eligible to become a member of the National Forensic League. This league was installed in O. II. S. in 1941. Interest in interscholastic debate, oratory, and public speaking is en- couraged and sought for in this organization. The officers are: president. Bill Bibb; vice- president, Paul Van Order; secretary-treas- urer, MoIIic Docktcrman. The adviser of the Debate Club is Miss Dorothy Bindley, and the following people were elected as officers to aid her in shoulder- ing the responsibilities: president.

Page 71 BAND Under the expert direction of Mr. Dayton or “Prof, as he is more commonly called, Ot- tumwa High School's Band has developed into a band that is worthy of anyone’s admiration. Even though the students must spend long hours practicing and marching in all kinds of weather, they “stick together, tooting their horns and pounding their drums in a manner equal to and above most high school bands. To see the band, which is led by the drum major. Bob Hahn and two majorettes, Grct- chcn Pearson and Barbara Phcrigo, strut down the field in their recently acquired uniforms, stirs and revives that “old school spirit. The unique and fascinating formations that the band has made between halves at the games have won the praise of not only Ot- tumwa High School's students and alumni, but also of the opponents. These formations arc original and beautiful to see; they are so appreciated by the spectators that they are considered as one of the main events of the game. In past years, when conditions permitted it, the band took part in musical contests out of town. This has proved to be both educa- tional and entertaining for the members, and served as a reward for their hard work. It is deeply regretted that this practice cannot l e continued, but it is hoped that when it is again possible, the custom will be resumed. Row I—Grctchcn Pearson, Janet Haller, Harold Swanson.

A very popular musical group is the Ot- tumwa High School orchestra. It has become an indispensiblc part of the high school activi- ties since it is present at practically every pro- duction presented in our high school auditor- ium. It plays before and between acts of the Dramatic Club plays; also, it plays during the Christmas Pageant, Open House, anti High School Night. Within the orchestra arc many small groups such as the string and woodwind ensembles. These units play for many oc- casions including student assemblies, programs for civic clubs, church meetings, and for their own Band and Orchestra Mothers’ Club. These groups ably show the skillful teaching of their director, Mr. Scott. The last few years have found some novel effects in the orchestra through the addition of a xylophone, a vibraharp, and a set of chimes. The 0. II. S. orchestra contains around forty members, all of whom play reasonably well. Probably the greatest percentage of these students play in the string section, with the brass, reed, and percussion sections follow- ing. “Full orchestra (that is, with all mem- bers present) is held twice each week. Sec- tion rehearsals are stressed the other two days. This tends to polish the individual as well as the organization. Each member of the or- chestra receives personal instruction as it is needed. Each year the orchestra has a half- start through the six-weeks summer orchestra period. This period helps the new members to overcome their first fears. This group practices approximately four hours a week. It can be found almost any morning first | eriod in room 300 playing anything from scales to a Beethoven symphony. The orchestra is directed by Mr. Waldo E. Scott, a violinist of no little ability.

Composed of approximately ninety-eight students, this year's chorus has the largest membership that it has ever had. Throughout the school year this select group, under the capable direction of Miss Aas, presents several musical programs, both novel and entertaining. The two main fea- tures, however, are the operetta and one other musical, presented in the fall and late winter respectively. The operetta given this year was entitled “Patience, or “Bunthorne's Bride . It proved to be exceptionally delight- ful. The other programs arc usually in con- junction with the band; the principal one be- ing the Christmas Pageant. To be a participant in these various pro- grams, a student must be willing to spend a large amount of his time vigorously rehears- ing. This year the members of this musical group continued the practice of foregoing good times for themselves in order to contribute to the good times of others, for its members were on the job while everyone else was hav- ing fun. The chorus does not mean all work, since much of the music is sung for the stu- dents' own pleasure. The small vocal groups—the girls’ trio, the girls' sextette, and the boys' quartette— are usually chosen from the mixed chorus, although, exceptions have been made. These small groups make many appearances during the year before various organizations in the city. 'Flic chorus and the small vocal groups usually enter either the State Musical Festival or the State Music Contests.

Aas, music supervisor of O. Ii. S., selected another Gilbert and Sullivan operetta for this year's production to be given by the members of the A Mixed Chorus. It was Patience ’ the story of a little milk-maid loved by two young poets, Bunthorne and Grosvenor. There were many humorous scenes, thanks to the sweet innocence of Pa- tience and the comic writings of the poets. Many complications were brought about through the love affairs of the thirty love- sick maidens and their indecision between the poets and the Officers of the Dragoon Guards as the objects of their affection. All of this was very nicely worked out through the co-operation of the A Mixed Chorus mem- bers, their director Miss Aas, Miss Arlene Danielson, dramatic director, Norma Metz, student director, and Doris Woodrich, pianist, who accompanied the entire musical produc- tion.

The purpose of Hi-Y is to create, main- tain, and extend throughout the school and community high standards of Christian charac- ter. The principles of Hi-Y are clean speech, clean sports, clean scholarship, and clean living. These are not only the pledges of Ottum- wa's fifty Hi-Y members, but they are the pledges of Hi-Y members throughout the world. Since it is a nation-wide organization, the Ottumwa branch carries on correspondence with schools all over the state. The annual state convention always means a big time for all Hi-Y boys. There, in addition to having a good time, the boys pick up ideas of what other organizations throughout the state arc doing. Also, since the foundation of Hi-Y is religion, two periods each day at the con- vention are given to religious ceremonies. In addition to attending the state con- vention, the Hi-Y enters into many school and city activities. This year the boys twice helped the city in collecting scrap, which any- one will attest was quite a job. On the bright- er side of their activities, they usually enter- tain a group of Hi-Y'ers from a neighboring city, have picnics, and athletic contests, and entertain their parents at Mother and Son, and Father and Son Banquets. They also have the privilege of ushering at the Civic Music concerts. The highlight of all club work is the sponsoring of the annual High School Homecoming Day. Under this come the tasks of electing a queen, organizing a parade, and, after the game, sponsoring a homecoming dance. All the boys of Ili-Y will attest that they could not get along successfully without the advice of Mr. Hamley of the high school and Mr. Hickman of the Y. M. C. A. Page 76 HI-TRI Hi-Tri was organized to extend to each girl in high school, regardless of race, color, or creed, an equal opportunity for membership in a club that will develop her character and make her a tatter citizen in her community, state, or nation. 'Phis organization is one of the largest in high school and is sponsored jointly by the Ottumwa High School and the local Young Women’s Christian Association. Such ideals as service, love, and good living are practiced by the club, thus causing the girls to grow in a spirit of friendliness, charac- ter, and personality. The meetings are held every two weeks, alternately at the high school and at the Y. W. C. A. The first meeting of the month is a social meeting. Here the girls become tatter acquainted and also have an enjoyable time. The second meeting of the month is a business meeting at which suggestions for the improve- ment and activities of the club arc discussed. One of their important projects is Fun Night. This is a special meeting held several times a year where the girls are allowed to work on any activity in which they are par- ticularly interested. Another project of this organization is its stress on physical and mental fitness. Every week at the Y. W. C. A. any member may take art in various kinds of sports, such as vollcv- udl and basketball. Their only source of income is through the money earned by selling at the school games. It is in this way that the club finances its varied activities, as there are no dues. The club is under the guidance of Miss Florence Daniels. The officers for this year are: pres- ident, Betty Nupp; vice president, Barbara Proctor; secretary, Frances McElroy; treasurer, Mary Catherine Lynch. Row I -Barbara Guthrie, I-ouisc Lane.

Pack 77 ART CLUB The Art Club, under the direction of Miss Florence Daniels, is a club in which members work in the various fields of art. The purpose of the organization, and the basic reason for its creation, is to develop a better understand- ing and appreciation of the various arts. Any- one who is interested and has talent in this type of work may become a member. Regu- lar meetings are held once a month with several social meetings and parties in addition whenever club members want them. Al- though the Art Center has recently been closed due to war conditions, the members formerly spent a great deal of their time there working and holding meetings. The Art Center proved to be of value in itself as well as offering a suitable and appropriate place for studying. On certain occasions some of the finest drawings of the Art Club may be seen decora- ting the walls of our high school. The ac- complishments of the students, in their under- standing of art, are shown in these drawings. The students arc encouraged to use their own interests and experiences as the theme of their pictures. Although it might be expected that the club tends to make artists of the students, the main purposes of the study are to increase the powers of observation, to draw, and to develop art appreciation. There arc approximately forty-two art club members. This is more than usual in com- parison with the membership of recent years. The officers for the club during this year are as follows: president, James Tray; vice presi- dent, Thomas Neil; secretary, Steve Fairbanks; treasurer, Mark McDavitt. These officers cooperate with Miss Daniels in planning and carrying out the various activities of the club. Row I -Thomas Odenbaugh, Thomas Neill, Junior Barton, Beverly Weems, Betty E.

The Commercial Club consists of mem- bers of the different commercial classes, who wish to learn more about the problems of business. It's not all work in this club either, for during the past year they have had various parties. One of the most interesting and helpful organizations within the club is the retail sel- lers group. Certain members volunteer to work in some of our down-town stores such as the “five and ten cent” stores. They work after school and on Saturdays, so you see that while they work, they are in a way going to school. Fhe 'members who worked in the stores downtown found that their employers helped them in every way to do their job well. Some even had the good fortune to continue working after the school year ended. Probably the club’s outstanding function of the year is its participation in the Iowa State Commercial Contest, which is held each year to give outstanding members an oppor- tunity to compete with students of other schools in contests in typewriting and short- hand. There is no stronger incentive for progress than the competition between stu- dents. These contests not only help to make champions, but, in encouraging initiative and a competitive spirit, they are a contribution to developing men and women better equipped to enter business life. The officers of the club are: Marjorie Donaldson, president; Keith Korcll, vice president; Helen Pottorff, secretary; Helen Sullivan, treasurer; and Wayne Guthrie, re- porter. This year the club had a new adviser and they found they had a good all around fellow who is always a lot of fun. We’re speaking, of course, of Mr. Bell, a new teacher this year at Ottumwa High School.

As any student should know, a library must be highly systematized to be of value to everyone. A system must be maintained; this cannot be done without some help from the students. Therefore, the Librarians’ Club was formed. Each member becomes a librar- ian for at least one period, assisting the stu- dents and teachers in Finding reference books, magazines, and other material. The follow- ing duties are performed by the members of the Librarians’ Club each day: checking the books that arc taken out, checking the books returned, taking care of library slips, typing, Filing, and keeping the books in their correct order. Opening at eight-thirty in the morning and closing at four o'clock in the afternoon, the library offers services that have become extremely valuable and almost indispensable to the students in Ottumwa High School. Most high schools have, in some form, a library, but few have the same excellent sys- tem which we have. An improvement added to the library a few years ago was a door connecting the study hall and the library; thus, enabling the students in the study hall to use the library more freely. The library is a place for study where students are expected to observe the rules that apply to any library. If a book taken from the shelf is not the one desired, it is returned to its correct place. If a certain book cannot be found, a librarian's help is available. Every effort is made to maintain an atmosphere conducive to study. The officers of the Librarians' Club are: president, Dolores Freshour; vice president, Virginia Emery; secretary-treasurer, Jean Bates. This dub is under the skillful direc- tion of Miss Irene Gallanar. Pack 80 LATIN CLUB Among the various clubs of the school is the Latin Club, under the leadership of Miss Nye and Miss Ver Heul. Membership in this organization is determined by the scholarship of the student. This year there were about sixty members, which included sophomores, juniors, and seniors. Regular meetings are held several times during each semester. The activities of the club include picnics during the spring and fall. In former years a Christ- mas banquet was held, which carried out a Roman theme. The banquet has been given up this year, however. The meetings provide both information, dealing with Roman life and literature, and also entertainment, which usually consists of Roman poetry and plays enacted by the members. The first meeting deals with the initiation of new members and is carried out by the old members. The Latin name for the club is “Collegium Latinum and its motto is “Facta non verba. The club is governed by a group of officers consisting of two consuls, equivalent to a presidential office, one praetor, equivalent to a vice president, one censor, four aediles, one sccretarius, which as the name implies is the secretary, and one quaestor, whose duties are those ofS a treasurer. The officers are respec- tively: Walter Johnson, Robert Baker, Mary Mac Blough, Betty Ware, Charlotte Gay, Doris Woodrich, Mary Ixniise Glattfelder, Dorothy Hawkins, Evelyn Houdyshcll, and Vincent Johnson. The Latin course is designed, among other things, to give students increased knowledge of English words and Latin abbreviations, to improve spelling, to give an understanding of the principles of English grammar—language and structure, to aid in the ability to speak and write correct English, and above all, it is useful in trying to understand the basic English words.

Page 81 FRENCH CLUB Vive la France—Vouloir, c'est pouvoir” Le Cercle Franca is,” or the French Club, is open to all students who study French in the Ottumwa High School. The aim of this club is to provide its members with interesting entertainment, and at the same time, to arouse in them a greater understanding of the various customs and habits of the French people. The meetings of this group arc held once each month in the club room at the high school. Here everyone participates in the singing of French songs, and stories are told about the country of France. A few of the activities of this organization are the celebrations of French holidays and anniversaries, and the presentation of plays given entirely in the French language. Although there is now a temporaty in- terruption in the relationship between our country and France, there is no reason why French should be considered a dead language, or why the interest in French customs should not continue. Therefore, Le Cercle Fran- cais” is carrying on in its usual manner. This club is sponsored by Miss Florence Fast, who organized it a few years ago. Be- cause of her great interest in French, Miss Fast aims, through this organization, to create as much of a French atmosphere as possible, and to promote the general knowledge of the French language. This year, Mary Margaret Brcmhorst is La Prcsidcntc” of the French Club. Jean Peterson is La Vice Prcsidcntc,” Phyllis Kreiner is La Secretaire,” and June Woodard is La Tresoriere.” Although the club is under the very capa- ble supervision of Miss Fast, it is governed by the students themselves. All business of the meetings is conducted in French. Row I Jean Peterson, Jacqueline Rankin, Alice Fiedler, Ann Vernon, Joyce Robinson. Row II—Iris Bristow, Alary E.

The club had efficient officers and one of the most popular teachers in school, Mr. Hamley, for its adviser. This club has always been noted for being a fun loving organization, but this year it also had its more serious programs. At a few of their meetings “los estudiantes heard lectures and saw moving pictures made by people who have traveled in various Latin-American countries. The members showed their outstanding interest in making this club one of the best in the school when they won first prize in the homecoming parade. Senor Hamley demon- strated his interest as the club adviser by doing most of the work and furnishing most of the equipment for the prize winning display. This same club had one of the best exhibits at open house, again proving they were “tops.” Many of the members carried on cor- respondence with students from the Latin- American countries this year. From these letters we learned much about the habits, customs, and sports of our neighbors to the south. Mr. Ilamlev usually read these letters aloud to his classes. Some of the members of the club became well known for their singing of many of Senor Hamley's Spanish songs. This year's officers did excellent work and are to be congratulated. They were: Senorita Colleen Amelang, president; Senorita Patty Brouhard, vice president; Senorita Bernice Smelser, secretary; Senorita Betty Jean I oerke, treasurer; and Senorita Joanne Knebel, program committee chairman. Every mem- ber of the Spanish Club wishes to extend his thanks to the officers for their leadership and for the splendid times which they provided for the members.

Any girl or boy enrolled in the Home Ec- onomics department who has an average grade of eighty-five for the first six weeks is eligible to become a member of the Home Economics Club. To quote from their constitution: “The object of the club shall be to interest Home Economics girls and boys of the club in duties of the home and community, and to interest all the high school students and community at large in the high school organization, es- pecially in the advancement of all things re- lated to Home Economics. To further the students education through reality, lectures and demonstrations on Care- ful, Personal Grooming and “How to Make a Home More Attractive in Appearance are given by authorities on the various topics. Whether the meetings are formal or in- formal, refreshments are always served. One of the features of the club each year is a tea, usually given for the members' mothers on Mother's Day. Other teas of less importance arc given throughout the year. To help the students develop the poise and ability of a good host or hostess, they are given the opportunity to serve as the host or hostess of at least one program. A committee is chosen each month to meet with the program chairman to plan the course of each meeting. The president, vice president, secretary, and treasurer are Donna Ross, Barbara Bill- hymer, Gean McSparen, and Belva Mingus, respectively. The most important active of- fice is that held by the program chairman, Ruth Bowen. This club is under the most able leader- ship of Miss Clare Kasischkc, who has done much to make domestic science an interesting subject for the students. Page 84 FUTURE TEACHERS of AMERICA To promote the interest of the students in the teaching profession, and to broaden their knowledge of the profession, a club called the Future Teachers of America has Ren formed. Any junior or senior taking the normal training course is eligible to become a member of this club. Having their regular meeting once a month, this club is both educational and social. For the social part, small parties and picnics arc given. Last year, the members gave a tea, extending invitations to every teacher in Wapello County. During the course of the afternoon, some of the better known teachers gave talks, music was furnished by the string ensemble from the Ottumwa Heights, and the F. T. A. members served the tea. This pro- gram proved to be educational and entertain- ing to both the teachers and the students. For the educational part, speakers are invited to talk on various topics that help to broaden the student's knowledge and interest in teaching problems. The club members also belong to a na- tional teachers' organization from which they acquire their present name and the program which they follow regularly. The state or- ganization to which they belong is named the Iowa Federation of Prospective Teachers of America. Their membership entitles all of the future teachers to attend the district meetings for these clubs, and to send representatives to the state meetings. The officers of the club are: president, Frances Gallup; vice president, Ruth Leonard; secretary, Mildred Leonard; treasurer, Ethel Jean Dimmitt. Under the direction of Miss Standing, this group will have learned much that will be beneficial to them not only now as they approach their profession, but also after they graduate and begin their careers, and in later life.

Pace 88 Page 89 Coaching Staff E. J. Kaltenbach Fred Maasdam “The best high school basketball coach in Iowa.” These words apply to E. J. Kalten- bach. “Butch doesn't stop at this. In the fall you'll find him on the football field de- veloping “stone wall” lines, and in the spring he'll be touring the links chanting to his golfers, “If you can't beat me by ten strokes you don't deserve to be on the team.” “Butch” obtained his advanced schooling at Iowa State Teachers College at Cedar Falls. From there he went to Clermont and later to Melbourne to fill the job of superin- tendent of public schools, before he came to Ottumwa. Fred Maasdam serves as coach of sopho- more athletes on both the gridiron and hard- court. He develops boys who in their next two years will become first team material. Me also is the boys' physical education director. Mr. Maasdam graduated from Parsons College where he received recognition in both football and track. His coaching career be- gan at Richland from where he went to Wash- ington. His last position before coming to Ottumwa was at Packwood where he invari- ably turned out winning teams. Don Newell, an excellent coach with a brilliant personality, has left O. H. S. to serve his country. An enlistee in the Red Cross foreign service, Mr. Newell left behind an outstanding record. As a farewell token, the O. H. S. football team ended its season with a smashing 13-6 victory over Osky. Newell- coached teams never have been poor. The boys who played for Don and who knew him always thought of him as a “good guy. It was with deep regret that O. II. S. had to bid Don farewell. Frank M. Markley, Mr. New- ell's successor, was warmly wel- comed into O. H. S. He has the tremendous task o f being head- coach of football and track and as sisting “Butch” in basketball. Markley previously coached ten years at Oskaloosa High School following his graduation from Grin- nell College in 1922. During those ten years, O. H. S. football teams were able to win but one game from the Oskaloosans. Markley-coached basketball teams were represented five times in the state finals. O. H. S. welcomes a fine coach who has proved his worth in previous years. Pace 90 This .year's team started the season with the task of stepping into the shoes oflast year's state champions. With only one regular re- turning from the previous season, the task seemed to be as tough as any, which coaches Newell and Kaltenbach have ever tackled. They knitted together a team of Bulldogs who made up what they lacked in experience with plenty of spirit and fight. The rather green team won their first six games easily. However, two great elevens from Burlington and Muscatine overpowered the Bulldogs to ruin their hopes of another undefeated season. The team came back from these two defeats to win a victory from Oskaloosa in the closing game of the season. This was also Don's last game for the dura- tion, since he left the next week to serve his country with the Red Cross overseas. The boys paid a great tribute to him by winning this last game. Both coaches were real” fellows whose efforts we appreciate more than can be expressed here. Now a few words about some of the boys on the team—Holding down the end positions were Collins, Fredrickson, and Brown. These players spent most of their time interfering in the backfield of the opposing forces. At the tackles' positions were Schertz, Simpson, and Swanson. This threesome was as dangerous as they come and all three saw plenty of action. In the guard spots were Williams, Her- rington, Walters, and Wymore. Each of these boys were really tough and when any real action was needed, these were the players to use. At center we had Stevens who was wide awake on defense and a fine pivot man of offense. Miller played the supporting role to “Steve. Taylor was just the man for the blocking quarterback assignment; Matthews, William- son, Bullock, and Shoemaker were the halves with Harsch at fullback. Each of these play- ers was a socialist at carrying the ball with Harsch passing when it was needed. FOOTBALL SQUAD Row I—Sidney Yahn, Dave Williams. Lloyd Cramer, Dean Simpson, Charles Taylor, But!

Though Don Newell's 1942 thinclads failed to capture first in any big meet, they, nevertheless, had a powerful squad. The closest they came to capturing a crown was at their first meet of the year at Iowa City, the Little Six Indoor. With their chief point go-getter, AI Farrington, performing for the basketball team at Des Moines, Ottumwa lacked but a few points of capturing first. Two other “closes for the Bulldogs were at the Ft. Madison Relays and the District Meet, both held at the “prison city.” In the Relays the Bulldogs, competing against schools from Iowa and Illinois both, placed second. The Bulldogs also placed second in the District, the last meet of the year for the speedsters. At this meet an athlete or relay team may qualify for state competition by placing first or second in their event. Although some Ot- tumwans did qualify, they did not wish to compete in the state meet. Although the Bulldogs did not compete in the state outdoor, they did enter the state indoor meet held at Iowa City. Here, against the most powerful teams in the state, the Bull- dogs finished fifth. At the Little Six Outdoor the Ottum.vans dropped a notch from their standing at the Little Six Indoor by placing third. At the annual Valley Relays at Des Moines, the Bulldogs finished fourth behind such formidable foes as Fast and Roosevelt of Des Moines. At the Osky Relays, which features southeastern Iowa schools. Ottumwa finished third. In dual meets our thinclads were unbeatable. They defeated Albia, Oska- loosa, and Centerville by lop-sided scores. Although the Bulldogs had a fairly successful season, it would have been more so if losses of key men had not been so numerous. Boys hopeful of being a part of next year’s track team may be somewhat disappointed. Cross country has already been stricken from high school sports activities for the duration, and track may follow suit. In all probability the track schedule will be shorter than last year's.

BASKETBALL Ottumwa High School’s basketball team, defending state champions, faced and over- came many difficulties during the '42-'43 sea- son. In the first place Coach Kaltcnbach formed a surprisingly good team out of last year's few remaining regulars. Taylor and Williams, first team members of last year's championship team, and Davidson, Kessel, and Miller, also on that squad, were the regular players this season. With this team and the ample aid of reserves, Don Farrington, Don Matthews, and Ed Nason, “Butch started the season against Centerville. This was an easy win for the Bulldogs. In their second start, a more or less “green team traveled to Keokuk’s “crackerbox” gym to play the Chiefs and lost 28-25. Gritting their teeth the Ottumwans followed with wins over Cen- tral, Albia, and Ft. Madison. Then came a crucial game at Muscatine, and the Bulldogs surprised the entire league by holding the talented Muskies to a 30-29 victory. Then the Bulldogs returned home to plaster Mt. Pleasant, but the victory was somewhat dim- med by Mr. Kaltcnbacli's entrance into the army. Bud Bollman succeeded Butch. His first iob was a tough one at Burlington, which the Ottumwans won 30-28. He followed with victories over a surprisingly strong Washing- ton team and Fairfield. Thus, where dopsters said that the Bulldogs wouldn’t be worth so much this year, Ottumwa had finished half their season with but two defeats. The last half was better. The boys beat Albia, Mt. Pleasant, Keokuk, Washington, Fairfield, Ft. Madison, Burlington, and Oskaloosa, the Central Conference Champs. Our only black mark was another onepoint loss to Muscatine. We finished second in the I ittle Six Confer- ence, tying with Burlington. Ottumwa entered upon the defense of its crown by breezing through the sectional at Fairfield. After beating Osky and Seymour the Bulldogs lost to Burlington 19-18 in a district final thriller. A hearty salute to the graduating seniors. Chuck Taylor, all Little Six and all state material, George Kessel, Bob Miller, Don Farrington, Don Matthews, and Ed Nason. What about next year’s team? Our soph team won the county tournament and are promising fellows who will soon be noted by basketball critics throughout the state. Paoe 95 BASKETBALL O. H. S.

S. jinx, turned the trick on the rugged Albia Country Club lay-out after the Bulldogs had previously whitewashed them over the Ottumwa Munie Course. But on the right side of the Bulldog ledger were dual triumphs over North Des Moines, two over Fairfield, a triangular success over Oska- loosa and Fairfield, in addition to the Albia win. The Bulldogs again journeyed to Cedar Rapids for the annual Franklin Invitational. There, in competition with the best schools in the state, the Bulldogs finished a strong third to Davenport and Clinton, winner and runner- up respectively. The climax of the Bulldogs' season came when they captured second in the state meet held at Ames. Given the role of favorite the Bulldogs needed but one less stroke and they would have tied for first. For the sixth consecutive year the O. I I. S.

Knltcnbach, Bill Bell, Don Mat- thews, Frank Marklcy, Sidney Poling. divot diggers captured the Little Six Meet, this year held at Muscatine. It was in 1937 that the O. I I. S. pellet pounders first captured the crown over this same course, and since then they have never relinquished it. Charles Taylor, out to tie John Stoltz's record of four individual crowns, took his third straight and if golf is continued next year, he will be gunning for his fourth. Still another great feat of this golf team was to set a new record in four-men- team total. Twice cracking the old record the Bulldogs finally established it at 308 in the District meet held at Ottumwa. The Bull- dogs easily captured this meet with Jim Rick- ard taking individual honors with a card of 75 and “Squib” Collins one stroke behind. The other two scores comprising the record total were Bob Bastron 78 and Chuck Taylor 79. About the only thing that will be able to stop next year's team will be the war. With only two veterans graduating, “Butch” Kal- tenbach could field a strong quartet if a means of transportation to get the boys to meets could be found. Pack 98 Sieve Fairbanks, Jean Shelton, Dorothy Savage, Jack Proffitt. CHEER LEADERS A quartet that does a great amount of work yet receives little credit for their achieve- ments are the cheerleaders. Students very seldom realize that maybe their spirit has car- ried an athletic team to victory, but this is often the case. Therefore, to the cheerleaders who arouse this pep, athletic teams often may owe a “thank you. To become a cheerleader one must have many qualifications. In the first place he must have a large amount of nerve. He must get up in front of the entire student body at tryouts and pep assemblies. Then, at the athletic contests he must yell before several thousand people. Secondly, and most im- portant, a cheerleader must be bubbling over with enthusiasm. Me cannot expect to convey pep to the student body unless he himself is full of it. One of the main duties of the cheerleaders is conducting pep assemblies. Usually the leaders just lead yells but once in a while they must handle the entire program. Besides leading yells at athletic contests, the cheer- leaders are confronted with the task of keeping the students orderly. Booing and jeering are absolutely out at 0. H. S. To this year's cheerleaders, Dorothy Savage, Jean Shelton, Jack Proffitt, and Steve Fairbanks, we the students of 0. II. S. owe a tribute. They have done a great deal in an attempt to capture the Little Six sportsman- ship trophy for O. I I. S. By applauding for injured opponents who must leave the game, the cheerleaders have made them feel at home. By welcoming visiting crowds and Ring as good losers as winners, they have also won recognition from neighboring schools. The question is how can the crowd help the cheerleaders—by co-operating one hundred per cent with them, yelling with them, not just sitting and watching them. Just because your neighbor doesn't yell, that doesn’t ex- cuse you. Learn your school song and sing it. But most important, remember to be as good a loser as winner. Page 99 G. A. A.

Since physical education is Ixiing so highly stressed this year, the Girls' Athletic Associa- tion holds an unusually important place. This is not a social club, but has for its mem- bers girls who are interested in all kinds of sports, such as baseball, basketball, badminton, hit-pin ball, and volleyball. Girls participate in this organization not only for the enjoyment they receive, but also for the splendid health training. Another interest of the club is to create and develop a wholesome spirit of sports- manship among the members and their fellow students. One of the most important activities of the Girls' Athletic Association is volleyball. Various captains are chosen by the girls, and these captains in turn select their own teams. Tournaments arc then held in which regula- tion volleyball rules are observed. To par- ticipate, a girl does not necessarily have to be a member of the G. A. A., although a majority of them arc. The aim of every girl is to secure enough points to entitle her to the letter 0 . To earn these points each girl may take part in any of the sports that she desires, such as health, individual activities, group activities, leadership, and sportsmanship; but she cannot earn more than one-third of all her points in any one certain sport. The goal is five hun- dred points. Since the Girls’ Athletic Associa- tion of Ottumwa High School is affiliated with the State G. A. A. League, any girl who wishes to earn an additional five hundred points may obtain a state G. A. A. pin. By this system, a girl may transfer all of Her points from this school to any other school in the state. The officers of the club this year are: president, Marjorie Donaldson; secretary, Gelene Carroll; treasurer. Iris Weekley. Miss Esther Compton, the physical edu- cation instructor, is the efficient adviser of this organization. Among other duties, she supervises the selection of teams, and acts as rcleree at the games.

A club which specializes in physical educa- tion and is health building is truly a great asset in any school. In our high school the Shark Club has charge of helping to carry out the aforementioned physical training. It is an organization composed of girls who are “sharks” at swimming and (living. Knowl- edge of these two items and the passing of a rigid test, which is given each semester for newcomers, is required in order to gain ad- mission to the club. After completing a Junior Life Saving course during their first year of membership, the girls are then qualified to serve as lifeguards in various swimming classes. Meetings are held every two weeks and in this manner the girls are kept in good condition. The Shark Club Pageant, which is given annually bv the members, is looked upon as the highlight of its activities. At this time the girls give an exhibition of their talent and the feats they have accomplished during the time that they have been in Shark Club. The pageant is worked out by the girls and their adviser. Miss Compton, who is serving her first year in this capacity. This pageant is usually presented about the middle of the year. A special theme is decided upon and the cos- tumes, music, and the decorations are kept in line with this theme. A great deal of prac- tice is needed in preparation for the pageant, and practice meetings are held very frequently. Fancy diving and unusual swimming man- euvers form a part of the aquatic display. Members of the Girls' Athletic Association who arc skilled swimmers oftentimes take part in this water pageant, also. This year twenty-two members were taken into the club which increased the membership to thirty-five. The officers elected to carry out the duties of the club are: president, Joanne Knebel; vice president, Mary Lou Marinelli; secretary, Mary Margaret Bremhorst; trea- surer, Alice Fiedler. Page 101 HOMECOMING What can it be? Excitement is in the air! Students' faces are aglow with anticipa- tion!! Why, it's the Homecoming, of course!! Every year the Homecoming is awaited with expectancy by all the students and the faculty members. It is one of the “high spots dur- ing the school year. As everyone knows, the Homecoming is sponsored by the I li-Y. This year their efforts were rewarded by a very successful Home- coming. After a pep assembly at the close of the school day, the students and club sponsors scurried around preparing the floats for the parade, striving to win one of the several prizes awarded for the most novel floats. Prof. Dayton and Bol Wilkinson. . .Jean von Schrader anti George Kcsscl. What's the trouble, Jean?.. .Yell leader, Steve Fairbanks, getting his breath between veils.... Bob Brown and his lady friend... Conches Kallcnbnch and Newell. At four-thirty the parade left the high school to march through the downtown streets. Strutting along at the head of the parade was the Ottumwa High School Band, followed by the various floats and bicycles decorated with brightly colored streamers. Then, last but not least, in a yellow convertible coupe, came the queen and her attendants. All in all, the parade made a colorful procession. The prize-winning float, which was an Pace 102 exceptionally novel and picturesque display, was sponsored by the Debate Club. After the parade, the students and faculty members rushed home, gulped down some food, and rushed back to the football stadium where they waded through small lakes of water and slushed through seas of sticky mud. Although handicapped by the absence of one of their mainstays, the team gave a good account of itself in a losing battle with the Muscatine “Muskies.” The game might easily have turned into a victory with one or two favorable breaks. The loss of the game somewhat dampened the spirits of students for a while; however, they were again revived at the Homecoming dance which was held at the Y. M. C. A., and served as the close of a happy Homecoming. The music at the dance was furnished by Art Reifsnyder’s orchestra. During intermission the queen, Marilyn Higgins, and her two attendants, Betty Jean Loerke and Dorothy Smith, were crowned by the president of Hi-Y, Francis Stoessel. The queen and her attendant, Betty Jean Loerke, were candidates from the senior class, and Dorothy Smith was a candidate from the junior class. It was a beautiful ceremony. Not only the method of nominating the candidates for the queenship, but also the method of voting for the queen were changed this year for the first time. Each year before, a girl was nominated from each of the extra- curricular societies in the school. This year five girls from each class, sophomore, junior, and senior, were nominated as the candidates representing their respective classes. For- merly, a person voted by paying a penny for each vote. In this way one could vote any number of times. This year the system was changed so that a person could vote but once. During the advisory period, Hi-Y boys, as- signed to certain rooms, wrote the names of the fifteen candidates on the board. Next he passed a slip of paper to each student who then wrote his choice and passed in his vote. The votes were counted that same day, but the results were not announced until the day be- fore the game. The queen was presented with a football autographed by the members of the varsity squad as a remembrance of the day she ruled as Queen of the 1942 Homecoming. Betty Jean Loerke, Attendant Marilyn Higgins, Queen Dorothy Smith, Attendant Pack 103 Pace 104 ROAD TO FREEDOM The Road to Freedom was presented in April, 1942 by the students of Ottumwa High School before record-breaking audiences. Although it has been a year since this presenta- tion, it is still a topic of conversation and we feel it merits a place in this 1943 Annual. This production portrayed the struggle of the human race for liberty and equality from 430 B. C. until the meeting of Churchill and Roosevelt in mid-Atlantic and the signing of the Atlantic Charter in 1941. The message conveyed by the pageant was an inspiration to all. As a lighter side to the pageant there was singing and dancing as performed through- out the ages, from the stately Greek and Ro- man rituals to the tap dancing of modern times. This brilliantly costumed, lavishly set extravaganza under the direction of Miss Bertha Stover, former O. I I. S. dramatic coach, was an enormous undertaking. With the work and co-operation of nine hundred stu- dents and local citizens, this huge task was made enjoyable and highly satisfactory. The crews who worked on this production were composed entirely of students. Each crew had a faculty adviser. The research and costume crews worked together so that every- thing was historically accurate. Lights, make- up, and stage equipment were handled by students. Local lawyers, business men, min- isters, and newsmen gave freely of their time and effort to further the success of this venture. Local ministers portrayed Savonarola and Mussolini with equal skill—Abraham Lincoln, Winston Churchill, and Franklin Roosevelt were characterized through the performances by business and professional men—certain Ottumwa teachers portrayed such well-known Tadics of the East—Joan Cummings, Elaine Fletcher, Barbara Pherigo, Alice Mac Jones, Connie Morrell .. .Allan Sigcl, Wavne McClellan, Rex Free.. . Robert Brown, Walter McNulty, Bob Smith, Mr. Rowe Hinscy.. .Connie Morrell and Don Matthews. . .Doris Johnson, Elaine Corbett, Dale Fern. . .Mr. Kaltcn- bach, Georgina Smith, Barbara Pherigo, Mary Alice Ratcliff, Mr. Ustcr. Dr. Gracbcl—Mussolini Lloyd Starr—Hitler Americans as Diamond Jim Brady and Theo- dore Roosevelt. The Road to Freedom —magical words —dear to the hearts of all, describes a road which we have traveled all our lives—the road on which we so greatly desire to continue our way through life—the road that our fathers, brothers, friends, and sweethearts are fighting to keep open so that passage down that broad thoroughfare forever shall be unobstructed. Men and women from all walks of life are in this fight. From the cast of the pageant, a young bank clerk who portrayed a Fascist aide and one who portrayed Hitler are fighting side by side with other Americans to preserve this freedom. The director. Miss Stover, has joined forces with the Red Cross and is doing her part in the war effort. To all of us The Road to Freedom is more than a gigantic stage production. It is a symbol of the four freedoms for which we are fighting—freedom to speak, freedom to worship God in our own way, freedom from want, and freedom •from fear.
