Then the boy and girl become acquainted with members of the various classes. In addition to class work, many interesting extra-curricular activities attract the attention anil talents of the typical boy and girl. At the conclusion of the senior year each boy and girl will have an informed mind and a more pleasing personality. j o them Ottumwa High School will always be a place to remember for its worthwhile, interesting, and happy experiences.

It is composed of seven prominent citizens of Ottumwa, who give their time and energy to nakc our public school system one of which we may l e proud. The members are Mr. Bailey Weber, president; Mrs. Matt L. Lawrence, vice-president; Dr. Harry E. Wing, Dr. G. YV. Loerke, Mr. C. D. Evans, Mr. S. G. Rickard, and Mr. Joe Fer- guson, who was apjxjinted to fill the vacancy left when Mr. I larold Wilson moved to Keokuk. The Board has charge of finances, hiring teachers and custodians, purchasing supplies, and building and maintaining the schools. Last year it made an addition to the Stuart School, and started construction of the Wildwood School. Much credit is due these Ottumwa citizens for their capable work in the interest of edu- cation.

The cafeteria is one of the most essential features of our high school. 11 is capably man- aged by Mrs. Marie Bottorff who is assisted by four ladies. Over three hundred meals are served each day to students and teachers who find it inconvenient to go home for lunch. The menu is varied from day to day, and the food is wholesome and reasonably priced. Students frequently visit the cafeteria for cokes and candy. 11 is also used by those who bring their own lunches. To perform greater service to the school, the cafeteria is run on a non-profit basis. Outside of school hours, it serves as a place for the boys and girls of O. H. S. to gather for large parties, dinners, and club meetings. The high school cafeteria is truly a vital and everfunctioning part of the school. Page 18 a . ZncjuiEEX Ernest Wilkinson. Joe Seals.

William Fisk Ottumwa High Engineers, our house- keepers,” are engaged the vear around in the beautifying of our school. The lovely grounds, halls, and classrooms have a well-kept appear- ance because of this efficient staff. During our summer vacation, they repaint the halls and rooms, refinish the desks, and make all necessary repairs dealing with the upkeep of our building. This gioup aims to keep our modern heating plant functioning properly for the comfort and health, of the twelve hundred students and teachers within the school. The engineers are kept especially busy during the football and basketball seasons. Very few students realize the work put in by them, as most of it is done early each morning and dur- ing our class periods. To accomplish their vital tasks, the engineering force must have the full co-operation of every high school student. Flossie Johnson—she does have n leisure moment occasionally.

Vice-President Rookk Younkin Secretary Janet Rkkdquist Treasurer “Onward, upward is our fate, In ’51 we graduate” Miss Fast, Class Adviser One of the largest Sophomore classes ever to enter Ottumwa High School was ushered in amid the shining of numerous shoes and the carrying of books. We feel that this was ap- appropriatc, for our resourceful members have continued to shine in all phases of their high school life, and have helped carry the burden of upholding the high standard of our school. Through the helpful guidance of our teach- ers, we of the Sophomore Class have laid the foundation upon which to complete the struc- ture of our high school education. In addi- tion to our classroom studies, members of our class have taken part in dramatics, speech, sports, and journalism, have elected represen- tatives to the Student Council, and had mem- bers in the band, orchestra, and choruses. The Bullpuns, our sophomore athletic team, have made the class, as well as the school, proud of them. We are sure they will be an excellent addition to the Bulldogs next year. The class of '51 has been efficiently led by Lawrence Nelson, president; David Lundeen, vice-president; Roger Younkin, secretary; and Janet Recdquist, treasurer, under the guidance of Miss Florence Fast, our much admired adviser. We feel that our Sophomore year has been a very worthwhile and enjoyable one. How- ever, we are looking forward to the time when we will be upper classmen, and can continue to shine and carry our share of the load in our school. Row I—Jean Marie Head.

Class Adviser We, too, entered our Sophomore year amid the shinning of shoes and carrying books, but we continue to shine and have progressed steadily showing our spirit and ambitions as we advance. This year has proved to be one in which we have been given many opportunities to show our abilities. There are many with high scholastic ability and those who hold the dis- tinguished honor of being elected to one of the honor societies. In extra-curricular activities our talents have been demonstrated in dra- matics, debate and music. As a grand climax we combine our efforts and energies to present a very successful Junior-Senior prom which all present will remember. Those of our class partaking in sj orts have proved themselves worthy to rank with the upperclassmen and of the praise they've received. Of course, we all have our troubles, but with the efficient and willing help of Miss Enoch, our adviser, Miss King and Mr. Kas- tantin, our counsellors, and the fine leadership of our class officers, we have ironed out these difficulties and shown much advancement. As we reach the end of our Junior year, high school life assumes a new significance. We know that the year ahead will mean greater responsibilities and that it will lie up to us— the class of'50—to lead the way and show the under-classmen as fine an example as is pos- sible to show.

II. S. By wisdom our attainment of educational values is symbolized. By loyalty is represented the fun vve have had and the good sportsmanship we have learned in the various extra-curricular activities. Our di- ploma symbolizes both of these ideas, and as we receive it, we look upon the past with great joy and many memories. Then with sadness we look ahead and realize that the many happy hours spent in 0. 11. S. are gone, to remain only in the thoughts of the graduates. We shall not soon forget the honors for which we have strived: valedictorian or salu- tatorian. Torch Club. Student Council, class officers, members of clubs in the vast field of outside activities, or members of our athletic teams which yearly bring our school fame and honor. Our debate teams have received state and national recognition. Our band has also received state as well as out-of-state recogni- tion. Nor shall we forget the most important aspect of our high school life- the fact that we have improved our minds in the sincere hope and desire that we mav be an asset to man- kind. To the entire faculty; teachers, coun- sellors, advisers, and to our class adviser. Miss Elizabeth Ver Ileul, we owe a tremendous debt of gratitude for guiding us to the realization of our goals.

By holding student offices and assuming the re- sponsibilities of school life, members of Torch Club reveal their character and strive to set an example for their fellow students to follow.

Propaganda Department” The first of each month means much to students of O. II. S., because that is when the Argus News appears. It is then that copy after copy of this four-page publication is gobbled up by the students, who are eager to read the latest news. First comes the general school news, next all the gossip, then club news, and last, sports. Each page is lively and interesting, because many hours of hard and diligent work are put into the Argus News, not only by its four page editors, but by every member of the staff. With the very capable and helpful gui- dance of Miss Creswell, the Argus News has proved to be a very valuable asset to our school.

This year we have followed that same course and have brought more honors to 0. H. S. Declam is one of the most interesting and useful extra-curricular activities of our school. The speech training received not only benefits us now but it proves of great assistance in years to come. The three main divisions of Declam are: dramatic humorous, and oratorical. During the year there are many contests in which students show their talents. The outstanding speakers compete in local, county, sub-district, district, and slate contests. With the able supervision and guidance of Mr. Hamlcy, we feel sure the Declam squad has upheld the prestige of 0. II. S. Ardycc Harness and Stanley Levinson, at the mike. Page 68 Row I Williams.

The Debate Club is very popular in Ot- tumwa High School, Judging from its large membership. The club is not all work, be- cause many times during the year meetings are held “all in fun.” This year the debaters have gone to con- tests sponsored by “Iowa Nine,” the Speech Association of Iowa, and others, where they have done very well anil received many honors. During the year we have also had debates be- tween members. These debates are very edu- cational. Under the direction of Mr. I lam ley and leadership of the officers: Dorothea Bruch, president; Duane Hedges, vice-president; Col- leen Jameson, secretary; anil Larry Hamley, treasurer, the Debate Club is advancing stead- ily towards the top of 0. II. S. activities. Mr. Hamley and Barbara Jones: A debater listens for once. Page 69 XV. H X. Row I Cvrena Dingle, Larry Perrv. Duane Hedges, Colleen Jameson. Larrv Ham Icy.

Only the most active and enthusiastic participants are able to wear the small jewelled key that is their symbol. When a student has earned the highly valued twenty points in speech work, he is eligible for N. F. L, after he gets into the organization, he is encouraged to go to even greater heights. As the speaker gains more | oints he has a chance to receive the coveted degrees of “Honor , “Excellence and Dis- tinction. Only the outstanding declam anti debate students attain these degrees. The N. F. L. not only seeks to arouse the students’ interests, but also to urge them on to greater achievements and better speech work. Duane Hedges admires one of bis awards. Page 70 Student assemblies are held twice a year, exhibiting the many talents of 0. II. S. students. This year, the first program consistet! of eleven numbers, three piano solos, two vocal solos, an ac- cordian solo, a humerous reading, tap dance, sextette, and an orchestra. Members of the orchestra, composed of high school musicians, include, first row, Larry Perry, Harry Harris, Alan Gendler; second row Kenneth Miller, George Swenson, Norvin Lanz, Paul Kleinman, and Darryl Lanz. The tap dance featured Jacqueline Muldoon and Jo Anne Petri. Sextette— B. Norris, M. Danels, P. Myers, M. Collins, A. Alton and M. Shoemaker.

Secretary Treasurer Greasepaint and Stagelights” The Dramatic Club is one of the busiest extra-curricular activities of 0. II. S. This year there are approximately one hundred and fifty members. The work of the club is divided into fields of acting, directing, staging, and business man- agement. Each member strives for the ad- vancement of dramatics as a whole, knowing that it is beneficial in improving his abilities as well as being profitable to the organization. The goal of everv member is to become a mem- ber of the National Thespians, an organiza- tion within the club, which requires one-hun- dred points. These points arc earned by the time spent in working on crews and in other fields. A new program has been established by our club. After Irv-outs the new members are considered pledges until after the first play. During that time each pledge is required to earn five points. If he does not reach this re- quirement, he is not eligible to become a mem- l er. The officers this year were: president, Dan Bovenmyer: vice-president, Jack Swanson; secretary, Josephine Ix wis; treasurer, Frank Sebern. iMiss Anna Clark, our new dramatic coach, has accomplished much in her year at 0. 11. S. She came to 0. 11. S. in mid-semester last year from the University of Iowa, where she ma- jored in dramatics. Plays given by the Dramatic Club fill a distinct need in the life of the community.

The aim of every Dramatic Club member is to become a member of this organization. When we first became members of Dramatic Club, we became enthusiastic and determined to reach the top.” We found we had to make one hundred points either by selling tickets, being on a crew or in a play, or by taking the responsibility of an executive position. As members of Thespians we still seek higher achievements. Some of us have 1k - come Stars, Double-Stars, and Honor Thes- ( ians. Our responsibility is to choose the new dramatic Club members. The spirit and the aims of being a Thespian are expressed in our motto— Act well your part, there all honor lies.” Officers presiding arc: president, Warren Wulfekuhler; vice-president, Duane Hedges; secretary, May Pulis; and treasurer, Josephine Lewis.

Al- though we spend much time in practice anti drilling, we band members feel that it is time well spent. In addition to drilling as a march- ing unit for athletic contests and parades, we are a symphonic concert band. In October our school was host to the Second Annual Ottumwa Band Festival for marching bands, when we again obtained a first division rating. During concert band season we attended the Little Six Band Festival and played for many other events. Larrv Perry and Norvin Lanz have served as our reliable and efficient drum majors. We owe much to the instruction and leadership of Mr. Zahn, our director. Pace 78 (D'lc isitza Row I Carolyn Bragg. Greta Iinwkinson, Lois Elliott.

To com- plete full orchestration, the more experienced members of the band are included. Carolyn Bragg has served as concert mistress this year. The orchestra performs between acts of most of the plays, for High School Night, at the Christmas Pageant, and for many other school activities. Individuals and small groups have played for various community events on request.

Much of the success of our group can l e attributed to Mr. Tiede, the adviser, and Alice Stuffiebeam and Virginia Aten, head ushers. Conscientious students are chosen for ushering, and find it necessary to give many hours to render quick anti effective service. We usher at basketball and footludl games, dramatic club plays, and various other occas- ions. Our aim is to be especially helpful when the auditorium is used lor public programs.

S., came to Ottumwa in 1929 as physical education instructor. Before coming to our school. Coach New- ell attended Iowa Wesleyan College, the University of Iowa, and tne Colorado Col- lege of Education. Don has lieen heat! coach of football since 1955, taking time out in 1942 and 1943 to serve eighteen months overseas with the Red Cross. In 1948, Newell also took charge of the Ot- tumwa track team. WARREN KRAFKA FRED MAASDA.M The new coach for the sophomore football team is Warren (Bud) Krafka. Mr. Krafka graduated from Iowa State College in 1945, and spent the next three years working for Uncle Sam. After re- turning from the service, he took post- graduate work at Coe College and the University of Iowa. Coach Krafka came to our high sch x l in March 1948. I le teaches biology in addition to his coach- ing duties. This is Bud's first year in the coaching field. Fred Maasdam graduated from Par- sons College, and took his post-graduate work at the University of Iowa. Coach Maasdam came to (). II. S. seven years ago, and since that time he has coached football, basketball, and track. Fred served as head track coach until 1947, when he was appointed head basketball mentor. Maasdam also heads the high school intramural department, and Tie and Don have charge of the boys’ gym classes. Fretl's records speak for them- selves.

The 1948 Ottumwa High School football team perhaps did not match the records of some past 0. 11. S. teams, but it did have a season which brought honor to itself, to the school, and to individual players. Head Coach Don Newell and Assistant Coach Fred Maasdam faced a very tough job getting this year's squad ready for its unusually early first game, localise only two regulars were left over from the 1947 team. The Bulldogs surprised everyone by toppling Newton in that first tilt, but they re- tained their opening game brilliance only on occasions. The Ottumwa gridders played their best conference ball against Fairfield and Muscatine, although they gave the champion Burlington Greyhounds a real scrap before capitulating.

All week long the clubs and advisory groups worked on floats and bike decorations which made their appearance in one of the best {tirades in O. H. S. history. In this parade our queen and attendants made their first appearance, riding on a specially constructed float. In the evening, our football team won an exciting victory over Mus- catine, 7 6, the winning touchdown made by Sam Long. At half-time, queen Dolores Davis was escorted by drum majors, Norvin Lanz and Larry Perry, along with the attendants and their escorts to the coronation ceremony. After the game a success- ful dance was held in the high school gym. Page 103 Row I -Broadlicld, Gnrd, Brav, Vivian, Welch, Gonterman. Long, Davis. Row II—Swaim, Lodwick, Gustave son, Johnson.

T h e Bulldog thinclads seemed to have a monopoly on third place in the meets in which they participated. Our speedsters landed in the third spot in both the Little Six Indoor and Outdoor Meets, as well as in the Oskaloosa Relays, the Fort Madison Relays, and the District Meet, held here in Ottumwa. The Bulldogs won dual meets from Oskaloosa and Albia. Considering the inexperience of the squad, Ottumwa can certainly be proud of the show- ing of its 1948 track team. Because of the number of sophomores who appeared on this year's roster, the track future looks bright for O. II. S. Bill Hnmcrslcv up and over for a new 0. H. S. pole vault record.

H. S.” Contrary to pre-season expectations, the 1948 (). 11. S. golf squad shot themselves into a very successful season. Their greatest achievement was winning the Cedar Rapids Invitational Tournament, second only to the State in prominence, over fourteen of the finest teams in the state and setting a new record, 317 for a team total. The team won five straight major tournaments including the East Des Moines Quadrangular, the Davenport In- vitational ana, for the thirteenth consecutive time, the Little Six Conference. They then went to the State where they finished fourth. However, they had defeated every team that finished ahead of them at least once. Their victims included the very strong teams of Os- kaloosa, Cedar Rapids (Franklin), and West Waterloo. Coach Day and his protege”, John Cain Pace 108 jJnHamuzat INTRAMURAL VOLLEYBALL Verna Davis.

II. S. is Intramural. Both boys and girls may par- ticipate. The most txjpular sports with the boys arc basketball and boxing. In basketball there are two divisions—lightweight and heavy- weight—with twelve teams in each division. At the end of each season there is an elimina- tion tournament, from which emerges the championship team of each division. In Girls’ Intramural there are such sports as volleyball, basketball, and table tennis. After the basketball season is over, the boys and girls team up and have a mixed volleyball tournament to find the school champions. The boys and girls who play intramural sports owe much to Miss Rentchler and Mr. Maasdam, who direct them.

Graduating classes once were told they were stepping out of school with the world in their hands. That is not so, now. The world has you in its hands, but it is nothing about which you should oe unduly concerned. The world is upset and it has all of us in its grasp. You know that, for you have l een watching the confusion develop, even if you were on the comparatively safe sidelines of school. There is nothing for you to fear. The demands of today’s cross-purposes simply will take more from you. There are within you the same sound characteristics which have mark- ed strong men anti women since creation began. I low far these sinews of battle are carried rests entirely with the responsible adults of tomorrow.
