Ottumwa High School - Argus Yearbook (Ottumwa, IA)

Text from Pages 1 - 176 of the 1948 volume:

sue VI x3 uiniMim b U I $ I RESENTING Another year another Argus—another chap- ter in your book of memories—This is your an- nual—your record of days spent at O. H. S. some days of happiness—some of seeming dis- pair—but every day so precious to you that not one hour should be forgotten—For to forget is to lose—and to lose sight of the happiness of your high school years would be a misfortune, indeed—May you be ever mindful of these years which are so near and dear to your heart—It is to this end that we dedicate our 1948 Argus Annual—Cherish this book—It is your memento of the four A’s” of high school life—Adminis- tration, Associates, Activities and Athletics. We believe the familiar strains of your school song typify your feelings: “Ottumwa High will always be our school And we’ll ever love her true.” 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. H. S. In football, basketball, and every kind of sport, We’ll cheer them on to victory For dear old O. H. S. Rah! Rah! Rah! for Ottumwa.

We find this in the Board of Education. The board must make the important decisions that determine the progress of our schools. The school board is to our educational system what the Congress is to the U. S. The Board members are elected by the people. The directors give of their time and re- ceive no salary. These directors control all Jolicies relating to the public schools. The msiness done by the organization amounts to approximately $8(X),(XX) a year. Purchasing supplies, chosing teachers, and arranging for the maintenance of the buildings are just a few of the responsibilities placed on the school board. The decisions of the nine members of the board have a heavy bearing on the future lives of the students now attending Ottumwa’s public schools. ieducation President C. I). Evans Page 11 Suit.

More than just a name, the cafeteria is a place where the students assemble to eat and talk of the day’s hap- penings. Serving about two hundred fifty students daily, it is run on a non-profit basis. The delicious food has been carefully planned so there is a variation, yet it is nourish- ing and pleasing. It is a large task, but Mrs. Marie Bot- torlT and her staff have accomplished this successfully. The cafeteria makes a pleasant place for the students to eat their lunch, and they are proud of this room. Yes, the cafeteria is “for the benefit of all (). 11.

Behind the scenes at Ottumwa High School, a group of custodians are continually at work. The students seldom notice or appreciate tlic results of this labor, but it immediately catches the eye of each visitor. We stu- dents are often inclined to think that the school just nat- urally stays clean. In reality the custodians of our school perform a great task which few could accomplish so suc- cessfully. Their work includes much more than merely caring for the school building. They operate the heating plant, take care of the grounds, anti do many different tasks; all of which tends to keep our school beautiful and attractive.

We’re the class of '48.” We, the members of the class of 1948, have at last reached our goal. Soon we shall re- ceive a diploma, a cherished symbol of high school life. As we l x)k back on our high school days, we remember the fun we have had working on such projects as the Junior Carnival anti the Junior-Senior Prom. The memories of his- tory, mathematics, and other classes and sub- jects necessary to reach our educational goal also flash before our eves. We must not lie unmindful of the excellent dramatic produc- tions, the victories in athletics, and the success of our music anti speech departments in which members of the class of ’48 have taken part. Some of our most cherished goals have been to Ik class valedictorian or salutatorian, a member of Torch Club, a class officer, a mem- ber of an athletic team or a participant in ex- tra-curricular clubs. We have produced out- standing students in all of these fields. We arc not forgetting the help of the mem- bers of our faculty who have so willingly guid- ed us through our three years at Ottumwa High School. Under the capable and willing guidance of our class officers and under the leadership of our class adviser, Mr. Clifford Dodds, we feel that we have attained a glori- ous ending to our three year high school career. Mr. Dodds has given freely of his time to help the students build more successful projects, attain higher goals, and prepare for their lives beyond high school. To him the class of ’48 extends a warm and heart-felt “thank you.” Acki.ky, Bom Golf 2-5-4 Hi-Y 2-5-4 Football 2-4 Class Officer 2 Adams.

We’re the class of ’49. This, our class veil, brings us to the reali- zation that we as Juniors have become well established in the traditions of C). U. S. Be- hind us lies a year of acclamation, before us but one year of enjoyment and profit. We have become accustomed to new insensibili- ties, both social and scholastic. We have proved ourselves in curricular and extra-cur- ricular activities. We can now consider our- sel ves upper classmen, being able to look, as a friend, upon the lower classmen. Adviser—Kliz.ilx.-tli Ycr Heu I This past year has ! een one of extreme enjoyment, for we have undertaken various responsibilities such as the ever popular Junior Carnival. With the funds from this annual festival we successfully presented the Junior- Senior Prom. These responsibilities alone earned the appreciation of the entire student body. The Junior class of 1947 is the largest ever enrolled, typical of schools all over the coun- try. Therefore greater tasks have been placed before us, and we have met with flying colors the requirements necessary to fill the vacancy left by the Seniore. We look forward serious- ly anti with great expectation toward our Sen- ior year. But we realize that we must apply ourselves to an even greater degree if we are to meet the res|X nsibilities which lie in the world ahead of us, and which are even greater since the recent war. With this knowledge, the class of ’49, in- spiret! by our competent class officers and Miss Klizabeth Ver Hcul, our class adviser, will take its place as a worthy successor to the many classes which have gone before us.

We have worked hard and have the satisfaction of knowing our work has been well-received. A great number have done the best they have ever done while many have equaled their l est. In the classr x� ms, we have carried out the trust our teachers have bestowed in us and have accomplished a great deal in the direction of becoming better citizens. We have learned more bv carrying on student discussions. All of us have become tatter sports and have shown that we can take it.” Adviser Clara B. Enoch While we have had fun in the classrooms, there were many extra-curricular activities in which we participated sports, clubs, and vari- ous organizations. We are happy in the knowledge that some of our classmates have hel|xxl our teams to victory and have taen given a chance to demonstrate their ability. Sophomores have taken part in all activi- ties. Their lour members on student council were all excellent selections. We shall long remember our high school days—from the time we entered as preps,” to the time we graduate. We shall remember them as happy times; times when we had fun, yet did our share. One person to whom we are deeply indebted is Miss Clara Enoch, our adviser. She has truly helped us and we wish to express our most sincere appreciation and thanks. May the class of 1950 be one of the best classes to emerge from O. II. S. ohi zomoz Row I Robert Huffman.

To ! e eligible for Torch Club, a stu- dent must participate in extra-curricular ac- tivities, maintain nigh grades, throughout his schtx)l life, lead the way for others, and in everyway cooperate to improve our scIuk� I. The very fact that we have a Torch Club rep- resenting these high ideals is a credit to our school. It is no light task to choose those worthy of lielonging to the honor society. iMaking Torch Club at the close of the junior year is a difficult achievement. It means hard work from the very lieginning of the high school years. All of us l(K k to the members of Torch Club for leadership. Membership in Torch Club is the greatest honor the sch x l can be- stow. We salute you, members of Torch Club, and look to you to light the way for us, the way to scholarship, leadership, character, and service.

The members control the reserve system, super- vise order in the cafeteria and operate a check room at many high school events, and a lost and found department. Their most impor- tant task, however, is to preserve discipline in the school. Any student who is accused of violating a school law is given a trial liefore the student court. He is represented by an at- torney and a classmate anti has a chance to prove himself innocent. 'I'lie Council is not “all work anti no play , however.

S. Debate Club. The past year has been one of scintillating achievements. Our excellent Debate and Declam squads, made up of De- bate Club members excelling in these fields, have upheld the honor and prestige of O. H. S. in various local, state, and national contests. Noted also for l eing a fun-loving society, the members combine their efforts to insure entertaining programs at meetings, which range from debate-studies to mirth-provoking parties. .Much credit for Debate Club popularity must go to Mr. I fam ley and the officers, Phyl- lis Ginsberg, president; Joan Whitchouse, vice-president; Dorothea Bruch, secretary; and Larry Hamley, treasurer.

Active in all phases of Dramatic Club work acting, student directing, working back- stage, scene and costume designing these students have rightfully earned their member- ship in high school dramatic’s most outstand- ing honor society. The goal of Thespian membership is a challenging one to ambitious dramatic club members. It is attained by earning one hun- dred ix ints in various fields of endeavor in- cluded within the dramatic realm. Spurring the student on to even greater activity are the STAR.” DOUBLE STAR, and HONOR THESPIAN” awards offered to outstanding Thespian members. Heading the group this year arc Pres. David Lodwick; Vicc-Pres. Robert Blome; Secretary, Phyllis Ginsberg; and Treasurer, Charles Welch. These students, aided by the other Thespian members, arc responsible in a large measure for the many successes of the dramatic club during the past season. Joanne Pumroy checks costumes for the play.

Hadley Jack Swanson Kathleen Sassaman MissHkkrald President Vice President Secretary Treasurer Adviser ‘ THERE'S NO BUSINESS LIKE SHOW BUSINESS'’ Among the many organizations in our high school, one of the best known is the (). H. S. Dramatic Club. This 1947 organization has the largest membership in O. II. S. history —approximately 150 members. It is, without doubt, one of the busiest extra-curricular activ- ities in the school. The aim of this group is to give expression to a most normal activity, the desire to act, and through this activity it de- velops the personality of the members and builds for them a keener understanding and appreciation of life. This club not only includes the actual per- formers but various crews organized for the pur|X)sc of jx?rfecting make-up, costumes, lighting, publications, and staging. Thus each branch is a vital factor in the presentation of a successful production. Plays alone are not the entire work of this organization. Student assemblies or other activities which require the use of the stage could not lie made possible without the help of the club's stage crew. When a dramatic club member attains enough hard earned points, he is recognized as a member of the Thespians, an honored society within the dramatic club. This select posi- tion can lx? obtained only through diligent ser- vice. As a reward for their efforts, the Thes- pians present a spring play made up entirely of Thespian members. Miss Ilerrald is the adviser of this organization. Hedges and Welch seem intent on their ; ! . Page 76 Row I Nancv Hobbs, Peggy Downs.

PATIENCE AND FORTITUDE” The artists of the Ottumwa High School can be found in room two hundred twenty- four. Many masterpieces have been pro- duced by the members of Art Club, under the direction of Miss Eighme. The Art Club is organized for the pleasure and enjoyment of its members as well as to stimulate a greater and keener appreciation of all phases of art. Business meetings and social gatherings are held regularly during the year. Students of this organization work to secure the required number of |x ints for a mem- bership into the inner honor circle of the club, the Iota Alpha Gamma.

Iota Alpha Gamma, a select art group, proved to be a most worthwhile organization. It encouraged the amateur artist to strive for more advanced accomplishments. In this manner, students of art were able to enter the select grout) through their efforts and under- standing of the basic elements. To become a member of Iota Alpha Gam- ma, the prospective member had to attain a sum of fifty points. These were earned through t artici| ation in the various projects sponsored by Iota Alpha Gamma or the Art Club. Under the direction of Miss Eighme, the club proved to Ik most educational.

Any student taking two or more commercial sub- jects is eligible to join. Many of the every- day business problems are not studied in the class room because of the lack of time, but in the regular club meetings the problems mav be thoroughly discussed. However, the club is not all work because some recreation is need- ed to create more interest in the club. In the past few years the members have enjoyed many parties.

In service at practically all Ottumwa High School functions, the ushers have spent much of their time toward making every nigh school event a success. At dramatic club plays. High School Night, civic music concerts, and many other events, the ushers have earned high praise by their courteous and efficient service. Mr. Tiede, the adviser, has in his club about thirty-four ushers with Donna Garner as head usher. These concientious students strive for courtesy and service. And it is through this devotion to service that the ushers have risen to the prominency they now hold in Ottumwa High School life. Donna Garner, head usher.

Living up to the high standards set up by Ottumwa teams of the past, the 1947 O. II. S. football team turned in an outstanding record. The Bulldogs lost only one tilt in their nine game schedule. The Red and White started the season by whipping two tough teams, Newton and Fort •Madison. Mt. Pleasant, Fairfield, Keokuk, and Centerville proved no match for the Bull- dogs. Burlington’s powerhouse proved too much for the Ottumwa team, but the O. II. S. warriors squeezed bv Muscatine in a muddy Kittle. In the final contest of the year, the Bull- dogs annihilated Oskaloosa, 44 0. A great ileal of credit goes to Coaches Don Newell anil Fred Maasdam for the excellent performance of the team this year.
