Ottumwa High School - Argus Yearbook (Ottumwa, IA)

Text from Pages 1 - 168 of the 1947 volume:

TO REMEMBER As the last chapter in our high school book of knowledge is drawn to a close, we fondly look back upon the features which have made that book so treasured and remembered. In our first chapter at 0. H. S., the sur- roundings were awe inspiring, and it was only with the determined and co-operative efforts of the faculty and students that these sur- roundings soon were marked with happiness for us, the sophomores of O. I I. S. This continuity of happiness and growth of knowledge has greatly developed during our junior and senior years, and now we realize and understand what a great part our teachers and fellow classmates have played toward our success as graduates of the 1947 class. It is only with guiding and true friends that under- takings can be accomplished. During our three years at Ottumwa High School much has been accomplished not only in curricular fields but also in the extra-curricu- lar realm. Interest in hobbies, and creative work as well as a determined desire to bring M. McGee, C. Keasling, M. Owings, M. Rowland, P. Rickev. Mrs. James. Miss O. Huston, Miss Rotli and Miss McCarroll seem to l c in a good mood! The girls’ trio licverlv Bain, Ruth Trocger. Olive Camile Hancock and accompanist. Janice Yahn fame and honor to the school are just a few of the many reasons why we believe the so- cieties of 0. 11. S. are indispensable. The long hours of painting flats, rehearsing lines, and preparing costumes for dramatic productions have not been vain undertakings for those in- terested in producing and presenting plays such as have been given on our stage. It is this desire for accomplishment that has brought about the increase in recognition of the actors and actresses within the senior class. Also this same recognition has been sought anti gained by the seniors participating in the numerous other extra-curricular activities of the school. The tireless efforts of the band, the editors and businessmen of the Argus An- nual and the Argus News, and the participants in speech and commercial clubs are only several examples of the praiseworthy endeavors of O. I I. S. students. Another of the primary undertakings of our school is in the field of sports. Within the realm of such sports as football, basket- ball, track, and swimming are found the ideals desired by most boys and girls. The out- standing records of our 0. I I. S. players have proved the ability and determination of our athletes to place Ottumwa High School “on the map . With the successful leadership of our cheerleaders in uniting the sch x l body with a spirit of victory the realm of sjx rts con- tinues to grow. Ottumwa High will always be our school. And we’ll ever love her true. We’ll sing of her. We’ll yell for her. And, my, what we won’t do! We’ll put her on the map. And see that she stands pat. For we love her true, we do. CHORUS North-side, South-side, and all around the town We’ll all join in together to root for O. II. S. In football, basketball, and every kind of sport. We’ll cheer them on to victory For dear old 0. H. S. Rah! Rah!

This firm employs 246 men and women to make its “product” for which thousands of citizens pay, but this “commodity” can not lie purchased this elementary and high school education. Behind this organization is our city’s foremost “factory” the public schools. The workers arc our teachers, the “product” is an educated citizen. Overseeing the entire pro- cess are the seven members of the Board of Education. Although the Board does not directly purchase supplies, it must approve all expenditures of its purchasing committee for such items as coal, textbooks, office sup- plies, and general maintenance.

Three schools, of which Ottumwa High School was the third, organized such groups. Originally known as the High School Honor Society, the name was changed to “Torch Club , being more suitable and having more appeal for the student. A person, who carries the torch, lights and shows the way; and so, our Torch Members “light and show the way for the other students. Those students, who are honored with the pin, are chosen by a committee of the faculty who weigh the record of the individual student for his first three years in high school. Twice each year the members of this committee meet and select the outstanding members of the junior and senior classes to become members of Torch Club. To be selected at the close of the junior year is the greatest honor that can befall a student of O. H. S. Popularity does not enter into the choice. Students are selected upon the basis of scholar- ship, service, leadership, and character. Al- though requirements are not too rigid, very few students arc able to meet the severe standards of l orch Club. The end,—the ultimate of achievement for any student,— is membership in our high school honor society.

The goal of the Student Council is to at- tain a greater spirit of democracy and develop a higher type of school citizen. Its duties are to maintain order and to enforce the rules of the school. The councilmen are chosen by their class- mates for three outstanding qualities of char- acter leadership, good judgment, and scholar- ship. The members of the Council have control of the reserve system. They select the re- serves, place them, and inspect the halls each period, checking the reserves. The operation of the lost and found department and a check- room is carried on by the Council. Any student who violates a school law is tried and sentenced by the Student Council Court. Each offender is represented by an attorney, and a classmate, and he has a chance to plead his case and prove his innocence. The Student Council has been very suc- cessful in maintaining order at O. II. S. Much credit belongs to Miss Rose Miller, who so capably advises the group. Page 18 Row I Doris Cassat. Johnny Bertsch. Doris Korcll, Gordon James.

Page 19 Within a few clays, the class of '47 will never meet again as a complete group. But no matter where we go we shall never forget the debt of gratitude we owe to the sch x l and to our Senior Adviser, Miss Marietta Eighme, for our gcxxl times and achievements as a class and our present and future success as indi- viduals. Miss Eighme has worked hard and spent many hours in promoting the undertakings of the class; for all this we want to express our appreciation. The Junior-Senior Prom with its outstanding orchestra and decorations; the Junior Carnival, a great financial success; the Senior Assembly with our own play, and the writing of the class song; these arc only some of our accomplishments for which we do say Thank You. Miss Kighmc talks with her president. Edd Buckley Page 20 President Treasurer Kenneth Davis Jo Ann Newell Vice-President Secretary If we of tlie class of ’47 think back now to those days of June '44, when our three years in C). II. S. still lav before us, we arc thinking of a different world—a world of strife anti a world at war. “D-day was yet to come, the beaches yet to be stormed, the Rhine to be crossed, Berlin to l e entered, and V-E Day, Iwo Jima, Hiroshima, the atom bomb—and other unheard of names were still to become headline news. Also V-J Day and victory for America and her allies—victory for us was to come. Again a “V day is near, but this time it is “V-Dav for the class of '47. We are the boys and girls in the ranks. Our prime ob- jective is graduation with rewards for meri- torious service. Some of the chief awards being valedictorian or salutatorian, a member of Torch Club, a class officer, a member of scholastic teams or a participant in extra- curricular clubs. Our teachers, coaches, councilors, and advisers were the officers who led us to victory in the classroom, the athletic field and gym- nasium, and on the stage. They have always led us gallantly, and we salute them. The training they have given us should certainly fit us well for the battles of life. We will not fail them that is our pledge. SENIOR CLASS SONG I'he best of our days have passed. So swiftly at 0. II. S. Knowledge and honor we’ve found. And real friends of the very best. Loyal we've been and true. Playing so hard at the game, 'I'he Red and White is our pride, To put it on top is our aim. The world expects us to be, The foremost in all we partake. Our duties we must fulfill. Our place in the world to make. Good friends remember the years. The days that we hold dear. Always be proud when you say. Forty-seven is our year.

Dorothy, while a junior, took part in Oj cn House and worked as a member of Reserve at 0. II. S. In her senior year she reigned as I Iomecoming Queen by popular vote of her fellow classmates. Dorothy has been well liked and respected by all at O. 11. S. and the honor bestowed upon her indicates her true “popularity”.

A. A. In her senior year she was also treasurer of her class. Shirley, a member of Argus Annual for three years, was Editor in her senior year. She also took part in plays and was elected to Torch Club in her Junior year. Cecile Blankenship Louise Hamley Beverly Thatcher Shirley Bachman Page 42 Jerry Long, elected the most popu- lar senior boy, has been widely acclaimed at (). II. S. While a sophomore, Jerry majored in basketball, football, and track. I Ic also was a member of Student Council. In his junior year sports again were his aim but he also took part in the operetta and High School Night. Climaxing his activities, Jerry's senior year proved his leadership. President of the Council, Torch Club membership, member of Argus News and sports; all have demon- strated his popularity and ability as a student.

Everyday has enabled us to find new goals for which to strive, new standards to lie attained, and a new chapter to be written in the class histories of 0. II. S. 'flic path of progress, a trail of teachers, scrapes, hilarity, pink slips, hard work, and yes —even a small amount of heartbreak- would have been just that much more bewildering without the helpful and sympathetic guidance of our counsellors. Miss Nye and Miss Jame- son. With patience and understanding, they have ironed out our schedule problems and in- tervened for us in our few times of difficulty. To Mr. Clifford Dodds, the Junior Ad- viser, must go much of the “behind the scenes credit for the many skilfully executed projects sponsored by our class during the year. Chosen to assist him were our class officers, Jim Davis, president; Walter Walker, vice-president; Mar- jorie McGee, secretary; Larry Houlihan, treasurer. We cannot imagine a day, no matter how distant, when memories of our junior year in (). II. S. and some of our more scintillating achievemnets, will have escaped us. Our scholastic, fun-loving, and athletic elements are so well mixed that a large percentage of the sport heroes, intellectual giants, and dramatic stars of Ottumwa High come from our midst. The annual Junior Carnival was one ex- ample of teamwork that existed between mem- bers of the class. Much planning and man- power was devoted toward making the Carni- val the first of man3’ successful events. The “occasion of occasions , the Junior- Senior Prom, naturally occupies a cherished spot in the Junior’s Memroy Book. No stu- dents begrudge their time spent in making this event a fitting culmination of the year's ac- tivities. Modern events are no longer chron- icled in red on a battlefield. No longer will we see the future of our country safe guarded in terms of war and force, but instead delivered into the hands of the future leaders of America, now occupied in gaining training for their com- ing task in the schools of our country. So, in our senior year, the most important work is to be done. 'Phis then, is a strategic moment for us. 'fhe curtain is down on the first two acts in which we understudied the star part. The leading roll the seniors filled so admirably be- comes our responsibility and the goal they at- tained is ours yet to gain. Class of '48—the stage is yours! “Always ready—Never late We're the class of '48.

The Sophomore Class has proved its slogan, for already they have furnished compe- tition to the upper-classmen in the activities. With two years of high school behind them and two years before them in their high school career, they have now reached the halfway mark. Great responsibilities rest on the Soph- omore Class from the moment it starts its year’s activities. Its members must live up to previously set standards anti try to surpass goals reached bv former classes. Their extra- curricular activities, as well as their studious pursuits, have shown us that here is an up and coming sophomore class. They know what it is to be The Underdog”, to shine other people's shoes, to admire exploits of upper-classmen; they have shown that they can take it. But nevertheless they are eagerly looking forward to the years which lie before them. Up to now they have been busy adjusting themselves to a new and larger en- vironment, taking their first steps under the wise guidance of their elders . But now they are thoroughly acquainted with their new life, and they can begin to fill more important po- sitions in sports and scholarship. They can begin to show the stuff out of which they arc made, in a field of action broadened by increas- ing age and wisdom. Although the members of this class have not made themselves greatly known as yet, they may be found well represented in all the extra-curricular activities, and in the future they wil! hold the spotlight in all fields. With- in the next two years those who are sophomores will be seen as the main characters in plays and operettas. They will also form our f x t- ball, basketball, track, and intramural teams and they will be winning declam and debate meets. For these reasons the progress of the sophomore should be watched by all. Wc shall discover that this class possesses many able leaders and individuals who later will play important roles in high school events. We also hope that while they are in school they will have a good time but always will realize that they arc here to learn. The students are enjoying and following the leadership of their efficient officers, but uppermost in their minds is their capable adviser. Miss Marie Schick who has been very helpful. As a means of showing their appre- ciation to the ones who have helped them through the rough spots during the year, they will endeavor to co-operate with the faculty and, to the best of their ability, carry on the work left to them.

S. have been entered in the National Schol- astic Press Contest, held at Minneapolis. In these eleven years, the Argus Annual has ranked All American, once. Other years, the annuals have ranked in first place. We are proud of these ratings and hope to maintain them. Fortunate, indeed, were we this year, to have as our adviser. Miss King, who helped us through our many ups and downs. This year, our two staffs, the business and editorial, were very capable and co-operative, 'flic editorial staff proved very efficient in writing the editorials; the business staff broke all records in selling advertisements. However all work and no play was not our motto, for we had social times during the year, also. The outstanding social event was a banquet held at the close of the school term, when the staff heads for the '48 annual, were announced. Typist McBride types contracts for Streicher and Taylor.

When the paper comes out, the stu- dents crowd around the news room, for they are anxious to see what the current stories and views are on the curricular and extra-curricular activities. One of the most interesting fea- tures is the page filled with little gossipy side lights of high school “lights . The first page is the most serious. It con- tains the general news of the school. On the second page one will find the latest gossip. The third page consists of brief accounts of the various clubs and complete information con- cerning coming school events. On the fourth page is found the news concerning the various athletic associations and accounts of the games. Members of the Argus News staff are selected according to their ability in different phases of journalistic endeavor. To those interested in journalism, this organization affords great enjoyment and valuable training. In addition to participation on the News, those persons outstanding in service, character, and scholarship arc awarded membership in the Quill and Scroll and the Argusecrs, both na- tional journalistic societies. 'fhc adviser of the Argus News, Miss Creswell, and the critic. Miss Burrish, have done much to help make the publication a success. Pace 62 Published every month.

Shir- ley, when a Stuart Junior High freshman, was editor of the school paper. She was also on the Argus Annual Staff at (). II. S. for three years. This year was the climax of Shirley's journalistic work, when she held the highest position of the Argus Annual staff-—editorship. Quill and Scroll, the international honor society for high school journalists, is an organi- zation probably not widely recognized by (). II. S. students in general. Nevertheless, several journalists of our high school do hold memberships. The societies are located in every state of the Union, in I Iawaii, England, China, British Honduras, and Alaska. Fifteen thousand young journalists from schools which are outstanding in the quality of their publica- tions, wear the badge of this honor society. The Quill and Scroll was organized in 1926 by a group of high school advisers for the pur- pose of encouraging and rewarding individual achievement in different journalistic fields. In its efforts the society has taken an active part in raising standards in the field of jour- nalism. 'flic society promotes research and conducts various surveys to determine types of publications l est suited for high schools. Many other tasks are also undertaken by the organization, among them the organizing of state press associations, criticism of publica- tions, and the acquainting of high school offi- cials and the public with the value of high school journalism. In our school Miss King and Miss Cres- well, the heads of the two publications, lead the endeavors of the Quill and Scroll. With the support of America’s outstanding journal- ists and educators, the Quill and Scroll So- ciety promises to be an outstanding clement in determining the future writers of America. Joan Perry, also a member of Quill and Scroll, was second-page editor of the Argus News this year. However, Joan did not start out on the News as an editor. She was on the staff three years, the first two years serving as a reporter. While a reporter, Joan develop- ed the qualifications necessary to become an editor.

A student who has gained admittance into the National Forensic Ixrague may well be proud. I le has earned the requisite twenty forensic ix ints which entitle him to member- ship. These points are acquired by giving service speeches for civic groups, by debate and declam work in contests, or by partici- pating in exhibition debates. Not only must te have won the twenty points, but he must also have demonstrated satisfactory interest and ability in forensic activities. It is re- quired that he rank in the upper two-thirds of his class scholastically and that he be elected by a three-fourths vote of the members of N. F. L. The purpose of the league is to honor those who have shown singular ability and persever- ance.

To a member of our Dcclam squad, the satisfying knowledge that he has given a good performance and, therefore, has upheld the prestige of (). 11. S., is more gratifying than any number of cups, pins, and medals. Divided into dramatic, humorous, and oratorical divisions, would-be Barrymores and Bernhardts are allowed to display their talents through the medium they prefer in various con- tests during the year. State contests and the Iowa Nine” are but two of these. Radio, ex- temporaneous speaking, and interpretive read- ing arc comparatively new phases of the De- clam field.

Any student who is interested in debate or declamation may become a member of this group. The purpose of the Debate Club is to promote speech in all departments. Another of its aims is to assist each member in master- ing any nervousness or self-consciousness he may feel while speaking before an audience. Under the direction of the competent Mr. Hamley, this year has been an exceptionally successful one for the debaters. They have striven to break down that wall of fear they may have previously experienced in public speaking. Each of their numerous debates has been most interesting and educational. Dickmann. Jones, Mitchell and Taylor prepare last minute rebuttal notes. Pace 67 The Dramatic Club being the largest or- ganization of its type in Ottumwa I ligli School, and perhaps the most popular with the stu- dent body, always strives to give polished per- formances. Requirements for membership in this club are that each student who wishes to try out, shall read a few lines from some paper or book. Consideration of enunciation and tone quality arc important determining factors. Also, a pantomine is given. The members of the Thespian Club, an inner honorary society of the Dramatic Club, then select those who they believe are best qualified for membership in the club. Students are required to have a cer- tain number of points each year to remain an active member. Each person must work on one of the many crews, assist in lighting, act- ing, prompting, or selling tickets to secure these points. Some boys and girls may not have dra- matic talent. However, the.show could not possibly go on without the assistance of un- seen, unsung, backstage actors and actresses. There arc few who cannot find some branch in this organization where their ability may be used. Possibly some are capable of painting scenery for a production; others who have busi- ness instinct may promote ticket sales; still others may work as electricians. This year Dramatic Club accomplished much under the leadership of Miss Ruthannc Ilerrald, the new dramatic coach. While at Coe College Miss Ilerrald majored in dramat- ics and took part in productions. With this valuable experience and her untiring efforts she directed three of the most successful plays ever produced on our stage. The officers chosen to serve this year were: president, Robert Taylor; vice-president, Frank Parks; secretary, Phyllis Ginsberg: treasurer, Larry Houlihan. Page 68 Row I Weston Cain.

To be a Thespian one must be genuinely interested in dramatics and must desire to excel in this laudable activ- ity. Enthusiasm, determination, energy these are the major factors which largely de- termine whatever measure of success is had by the dramatist. The aim of the organization is to create an active and intelligent interest in the dra- matics of our school. Any Dramatic Club member is eligible for Thespians when he has earned the required one hundred points. These points represent diligent work and long hours of service by the student. They may be earn- ed by taking part in a play, by selling tickets, by working on one of the numerous crews or by executing various other tasks. After reaching the rank of Thespian a student may climb further and reach still greater heights by becoming a Star, Double Star, on I Ionor Thespian. The duties of the Thespians are many. I heirs is the job of selecting new members for the Dramatic Club. They annually present a play, sponsored solely by them. This year's play, under the direction of Miss Herrald, the very popular and capable new dramatic coach, is a fitting tribute to their ability. In the spring of each year the Thespians hold a ban- quet, in honor of the new members. The officers for this year are: president- Dick Collins; vice-president, Cecile Blanken, ship; secretary, Joan Perry; and treasurer, David Lodwick.

The band has been very successful in performing its part in the activities of the school. The organization is composed of ap- proximately fifty-seven members. E v e n though the students must spend long hours practicing and marching in all kinds of weather, they are always loyal. Besides playing for all the football and basketball games, the band takes part in all pep assemblies, the homecoming parade, and many other parades.

One of the first extra- curricular organizations to be founded in the school was the orchestra, and since then it has played an important part in the school activi- ties. Many times during the school year, the orchestra is heard by l oth the students and the public, since it is asked to play before and between acts of Dramatic Club Plays, for Open Mouse, for High School Night, and for many other programs. The Ottumwa High School orchestra con- tains approximately thirty-five members, all of whom can play reasonably well. “Full orchestra (that is, with all mem- bers present) is held before each performance. The string section meets daily in room three hundred. Each member of the orchestra re- ceives personal instruction as it is needed. This tends to help the individual as well as the organization. In their public appearances the boys wear suits and the girls wear formals. In the spring of each year, the orchestra either enters the state music contests or at- tends the Iowa State Music Festival. Through these experiences the members are inspired to new heights of achievement. This year the group was under the direc- tion of Mr. Logan Zahn who is the new musical instructor in the Ottumwa High School.

Pace 78 Among the small vocal groups within the Ottumwa High School music department are the more talented music students. The girls’ trio is one of the groups chosen each year. They present old and modern com- positions very effectively. The voices of the girls are well blended, so that no one voice stands out above another. This group which consists of a soprano, a second soprano, and an alto, functions at many school activities. They often take part in special programs in the com- munity as well as in school. The girls meet twice a week for rehearsals under the direction of Miss Selma G. Aas. Here they gain an un- derstanding of the music that they sing so well. Some of us little realize or appreciate the work done by such groups, but it is an opportunity for those who like music. Another such organization is the Girls' Sextette. The six girls composing it are well known in the school for their presentation of well-loved songs. All of these girls sing in the Mixed Chorus. It is not necessary for the members of these organizations to possess exceptional voices, but we know that the qual- ity must be especially good. Their voices should have a clear quality and an accurate pitch. Besides getting a great deal of enjoy- ment from her work under Miss Aas, each girl also gets much personal benefit from the train- ing she receives. From each appearance, whether it is a school program or a community program, the members acquire a certain num- ber of activity points. We arc truly grateful to this group for their work that helps Ottumwa High Sc1kk)1 to maintain the high standards that it now holds. .

Any student taking two or more commercial subjects is eligible. Many of these problems are not studied in the class room because of the lack of time; but in the club meetings, the problems may be more thoroughly discussed. How- ever, the club is not all work.

Miss Gallanar, and the thirty-two members of the Librarians' Club, for their con- scientious efforts toward making our library a smoothly-run organization. Devoting one free period each dav toward executing the many and diversified duties re- quired of them, the Librarians' Club members not only offer students assistance in locating books and research material, but gain, for themselves, valuable knowledge of the in- tricacies of the tiling and checking systems. Considering the fine achievements of the Librarians’ Club, the teachers and students of (). II. S. should look with pride upon the work of this group.

The ushers serve not only at football and basket- ball games, but at Dramatic Club plays. High School Night, Civic Music Concerts, and any number of other occasions. iMuch of the success of the ushering sys- tem can be attributed to Mr. Tiede, the ad- viser, and Gene West, head usher.

Our� is a peppy hunch of Cheer Leaders! “Come on kids! let’s really veil!” 'This was a very common phrase used by our cheer- leaders during the past year to arouse pep from the student section at the games and during pep assemblies. It is the cheerleaders who help make possible the victories of the team, through their energetic leading of the yells, school songs, and other antics necessary to arouse enthusiasm. This year a large group of students tried out for the position of cheerleader. Each one trying out was required to lead the student body in a yell. The students then balloted on the four they thought best. These four were Deloris Davis, Marjorie McGee, Bob Smith, and Betty Thatcher. The two re- ceiving the next highest number of votes were the reserves. They were Cecile Blankenship and Dick Collins. The two sophomore cheer- leaders were Norrine Buchanan and Barbara Smith. Page 93 Coach Newell Coach Maasdam I lead athletic mentor for Ottumwa High School is Don Newell. Don is not a new mem- ber of Ottumwa's staff since he has been here for eighteen years. Ottumwa's athletic teams under Newell have had continuous success throughout his many seasons at 0. 11. S. Don recently received his M. A. from Colorado State Teachers' College at Greeley, Colorado. His service as coach of the Ottumwa Bulldogs has earned him the respect and admiration of athletes, sport fans, and fellow coaches through- out Iowa. Coach Pence Maasdam is assistant football and basketball coach and head mentor of Ottumwa's thin clads. Fred's services as line coach in foot- ball, sophomore coach in basketball, and di- rector of l oys' intramural games have been invaluable to the athletic triumphs of our school. Mr. Maasdam, along with Mr. New- ell, also conducts physical education classes for 0. II. S. boys. Ottumwa's new sophomore football coach is Jack Pence. I Ic is at present teaching at the Stuart Junior High School. Mr. Pence graduated from Coe College, where he lettered in football. He has coached at Columbus Junction, Anamosa, and at Cen- tral College. The fine work of Jack Pence will be clearly visible in Ottumwa's football teams of the future. Page 94 The Ottumwa High School bulldogs again closed another successful season on the grid- iron this year. Their final record was six wins and three loses. Although the 46 team did not match the undefeated record of last year's eleven, it was still considered one of Iowa's most powerful high school elevens. The bulldogs' starting team consisted of Terry I larper at center, Bill Dykemann and Jack McGee, guards; Jerry Lone and Dale Sanford at the tackle positions. The wingmen were Verle Burgason and Clarke Phillips. Coach Newell’s starting backfield had Zip Clay von at quarterback, Moose Nevins and Corky Stevens at the halfback posts, and Ray I lamersley at the fullback assignment. Although the bulldogs lost two successive close decisions to Burlington and Muscatine by one touch-down margins, they still held the best defensive record in the Little Six Con- ference. The team was seriously weakened early in the season when Deane Stoltz, regular left guard, suffered a cracked bone in his foot and was lost for the rest of the season. Much credit for the Bulldogs’ success this year goes to our coaches, Don Newell and Fred Maasdam. Don's job is to train the backfield and ends, while Fred has charge of the remaind- er of the line. Next year's prospects appear very good, lor there are nine returning lettermen includ- ing four backfield candidates who have had considerable experience working together on this year's squad.

Ottumwa opened the track season by placing second in the Little Six Indoor meet field at Iowa City- Burling- ton defeated us there by three points. The thin clads continued their winning ways by copping the Fort Madison and Mt. Pleasant Relays. In State wide competition at the annual Oskaloosa Relays, theO. II. S. Bulldogs came home with third place ribbons. Ottum- wa was defeated by two Des Moines schools, East and North I ligh. In their only dual meet of the season, the Bulldogs soundly trounced the Oskaloosa Indians. Ottumwa was host to the Little Six Out- door Meet where we again finished second be- '3 hind the jxjwerful Burlington Gray hounds. To the Drake Relays in Des Moines Ottumwa sent nine athletes. Eddie Smith placed second in the mile run for Ottumwa's only major win. O. II. S. thin clads had only four qualifiers for the State Meet held at Ames. They were Bob Angle, Don Ferguson, Ed Smith, and Jerry Long. In this meet featuring the best high school track men in Iowa, Smith placed third in the mile run and Jerry Long surprised the dopsters by placing second in the football throw. Thus Ottumwa High's thin clads completed one of its most successful seasons. Fred Maasdam and assistant coach Don Newell deserve much of the credit for this im- pressive record.

The 1946-'47 basketball season has closed. Jerry Long, Zip Clayvon, Verle Burgason, and Jim Krland will never again don the basketball regalia for Ottumwa High, but they and their feats on the basketball court will not soon be forgotten. These boys, with the able assis- tance of talented underclassmen and the coach- ing genius of Don Newell performed brilliantly enough to l e worthy of ranking with any of the great Bulldog teams of the past. They captured a share of the Little Six Conference championship, then fought their way to fourth place in the Iowa State Basketball Tournament. After a rather slow start the Bulldogs hit their stride and rushed on to prove that they were one of the most capable cage crews in all Iowa. They dropped their fourth game to Muscatine but later avenged the defeat with a decisive victory. Iowa City, trounced once by the Bulldogs, was the only other scheduled team to top the Red and White. Ottumwa High finished the regular season with the fine record of seventeen wins against but two loses. Then came the state tournament. The Bulldogs gained their way to the semifinals but lost a last-minute decision to Davenport. The next day the heart-broken quintet lost to Dan- bury and held fourth place in a field of 912. The squad finished the season with a marvelous record, and, but for a stroke of mis- fortune, might have been state champs. Our hats arc off to the members of the squad and their coach. To them we say- “Well done.” Pace 99 Anderson Burgason Clay von Erland Buck lev Clark Davis Freshour LITTLE SIX CO-CHAMPS TOURNAMENTS District at Ottumwa Ottumwa 63 Sigourney 23 Ottumwa 47 Chariton 33 Sub-state at Ottumwa Ottumwa 48 Centerville 21 Ottumwa 32 Burlington 30 State at Iowa City Ottumwa 34 Mason City 31 Ottumwa 32 Steamboat Rock 20 Ottumwa 30 Davenport 31 (Semi-finals) Ottumwa 27 Danburv 28 (Consolation Game) State Ci iamps—Davenport C ONSOL ATI ON R UNNER-UP—OtTUMWA Burgason just about to receive a hall from Erl A held ball COZ£ 1 Ottumwa 27 Centerville 19 Ottumwa 50 Washington 36 Ottumwa 45 Keokuk 15 Ottumwa 20 Muscatine 29 Ottumwa 42 Fairfield 33 Ottumwa 37 Iowa City 27 Ottumwa 49 Burlington 28 Ottumwa 46 Ft.

The purpose of the Girls' Athletic Associa- tion of Ottumwa High School is to stimulate interest in wholesome leisure-time activities and to standardize and promote ideals of health and sportsmanship. Girls wishing to become members of this organization must secure fifty points during the three weeks set aside for that purpose. In order to obtain the required points, members of the association plan a program to test the aspirants' qualifications. Things included in this program are softball, volleyball, basket- ball and swimming. One goal of the girls is to Ih.‘ awarded a letter which requires five hundred points. After this has been accom- plished, a state pin is presented to those who lave one thousand points. G. A. A. holds regular meetings during the second week of each month to organize various activities as a group. Not only is pleasant recreation offered, but also an excel- ent opportunity is given for training in leader- ship. This quality develops a sportsman-like attitude which is so necessary for success in athletics. Those serving as officers for this year are: president, Christine Keasling; vice-president, Marjorie Rowland; point-secrctaiy, Mary Booth; student manager, Barbara Winfrey. The Girls' Athletic Association is under the joint sponsorship of Miss Vida Bernau and Miss Carolyn Johnson. Together they assist in {planning many interesting activities and offer their services as judges and referees in organized games, not to mention their valu- able instruction.

Pace 103 Girls who enjoy swimming and have at- tained skill in this sport usually work to be- come members of the Ottumwa High School Shark Club. Such aspirants should contact a “Shark” who will observe the applicant's ability and recommend, if qualified, that these applicants be entered in the try-out held the beginning of each semester. Points upon which greatest emphasis are placed are ability to glide, endurance, and correct usage of strokes. Inasmuch as the requirements are very rigid, applicants meeting these require- ments enter a select group. A traditional in- itiation is held before the girls enter this or- ganization. After being elected, the new memlier, if not already registered in Red Cross Life Saving, must attain this degree as soon as possible. Such knowledge aids in prevent- ing many water mishaps and is beneficial in obtaining life saving positions. An outstanding and pleasurably antici- pated school entertainment was the Shark water pageant under the supervision of Miss Vida Bernau, the capable instructor, a gradu- ate of the Aquatic School of Oconomowoc, Wisconsin. She with the assistance of mem- bers planned a spectacular water program, with many new and original feats, plus modern- ized versions of the old favorites such as, for- mations and stunts. Also, the diving exhibi- tion consisted of jackknives, half-twists, swans, and two-person combinations.
