0 PUBLISHED BY THE STUDENT BODY OF OTTUMWA HIGH SCHOOL OTTUMWA, IOWA 1900 1950 SENTING The 50th Anniversary Edition of the Argus, your High School memory book, commemorating half a century of progressive work and play in Ottumwa High School. This golden anniversary memory book is a symbol of loveli- ness and beauty and its golden pages will glow more and more with the passing years and deepening experiences. ‘V thing of beauty is a joy forever, Its loveliness increases....... It will never pass into nothingness” So it is with your 1950 Argus. By comparison with the first paper covered booklet, it is a work of art. But it is presented with the same purpose, each section recording faithfully the year's personnel and activities, including the administration and the various classes with their curricular and extra-curricular activities. Again, presenting the golden anniversary edition of your memory book—The Argus. The Ottumwa High School. The front steps at the Old High. O. H. S. from the air. In the hall at the Old High.

Comer, Mr. Joe Ferguson, Mrs. J. L. Hart, Mr. David Jay, and Dr. Harry E. Wing. Mr. Leighton Smith is employed as secretary of the board, and Mr. A. W. lrautwein as treasurer.

S. cafeteria is being called upon this year to serve an even greater number of students and faculty since the inauguration of the new shortened lunch period. In order to handle this increased load in the cafeteria, the lunch periods have been staggered so that the students now come in three different shifts. Students also enjoy the use of the cafeteria between classes when cokes and candy may be purchased. Mrs. Bottorff directs the work of the cafeteria and is assisted by four capable women. There arc also a few students who help during their lunch hour. A frozen-food locker is now being rented where large portions of meat are stored for use in the cafeteria. New dishes have also been purchased this year. This also helps to facilitate the serving of the additional students. Page 16 CllltocL tam Chns.

S. students do not Wilkinson and Mier check their day's work, realize the importance of the custodians, they arc truly a vital part of our sch x l. The well- kept appearance of our classrooms and the operation of the heating units arc only a small portion of their daily work. When we are vacationing, this group is continually trying to improve our school. They arc 1 ept es- j ecially busy during the football and basket- ball seasons, as they are also in charge of the stadium and the gym. Some of the members of this staff have been with us for several years. Mr. Chester Mier has been at O. II. S. for twenty years, Mr. Wilkinson for twelve, and Flossie Johnson has been employed since the year this building was first constructed. Our thanks go to this very efficient group who arc doing a fine job of “keeping-up' Ot- tumwa High School. Page 17 Lois Masters President EI2iOZ± Ann Parks Treasurer 950 MISS ENOCH. Adivser High school memories we hold dear, 1950 is our year Yes, here we are, the class of 1950, at last nearing the goal toward which we have looked throughout our school life—graduation. Three short years ago we entered this building as sophomores, unacquainted with the ways of the upperclassmen and full of a burning desire to snow them that we really weren't just sophomores . By the time we were juniors, we had be- come established throughout the halls and were striving harder than ever to make the most of our high school life. Now we are seniors. We couldn't be prouder of our outstanding leaders on Student Council and in Torch Club. Those on our athletic teams have shown the fighting spirit and the desire to come out ahead. Many of our classmates have spent long hours getting the plays ready for presentation, worked hard in debate, music, and on the school publica- tions. It is with a note of sadness that we leave the place that has fdled our hearts with so many memories. But it is with a feeling of triumph that we receive our diploma—the symbol of all for which we have worked. Little could have been accomplished with- out the willing and much appreciated aid of our teachers, counselors, and especially our class adviser. Miss Clara Enoch.

II. S., and our faces are now very fa- milial- in the classrooms. We are climbing the road to our upward goal—graduation, finding our days’ responsibilities full of extra-curricu- lar and scholastic activities. At this stage wc find our members well represented in the fields of the higher achieve- ments in all phases of activity in the school life. Wc find our abilities and talents demon- strated in music, dramatics, speech, sports, and in many other lines. A good many of us have readied the honor societies of the dif- ferent clubs, and some at the end of this year achieved the much honored goal of Torch Club. We have striven to make our class an excellent example for those who come after us to follow. Our year was climaxed with the Junior- Senior Prom, which we helped to stage. We cannot create success by ourselves, but we must credit and appreciate fully the guidance our class adviser. Miss Fast, and our counsellors. Miss King and Mr. Kastantin, have given us. Together with our student government and our helpful instructors, we feel we have had a most complete and enjoyable year, one that will help us to fulfill the responsibilities of our senior year in 0.

Pack 52 Bill DkBruyan President Bon Box Vice President I Nancy Burt Secretary Jo Ann Schlunz Treasurer Success and knowledge is our cue, We're the class of ’52” MISS WHITE, Adviser Animation, determination, and cooperation have been characteristic of the sophomore class during the past year. Their goal, graduation, is gradually approaching realization. With this idea has developed the desire to uphold class tradition, and, in turn, create achieve- ments not to be surpassed. The past year has been spent in adjust- ment to more complicated surroundings. The word “underclassman has been the sopho- mores' title during the year, but has been true in name only. The class's four hundred fifty members have already established themselves as leaders and followers in such extracurricular activities as S| orts, plays, publications, and other organizations. The desire for learning has played an equally important part in the class members' schedule. Education of future high school leaders has become a necessary goal for them—the sophomores. Elected class officers have led the group, but only under the generous supervision of iMiss White, class adviser, have many prob- lems been overcome by individual students. Her appreciation and knowledge of courses, as well as her humor in preparing projects have earned for her the approval and admiration of the sophomore class as a whole. Now thoroughly prepared to uphold themselves and “march' forward, the class of 1952 has begun preparing for future successes that have been typical of 0. H.

It lays the foundation for good citizenship and strives to see that these habits are successfully carried out by the student body. Among its many responsibilities arc: the operation of the reserve system, the manage- ment of the lost and found, direction of the clubroom, and maintenance of a checkroom at school activities. All social functions must pass the approval of the Council. This demo- cratic organization provides a student court in which violators of school rules are tried. Councilmen are elected by the students and must have ability in judgement and leader- ship. The officers elected this year are: Jerry Davis, president; Lawrence Nelson, vice presi- dent; Flossie Graham, secretary; and Bob Poline, treasurer.

Torch Club is a chapter of the National Honor Society. Its members arc chosen by the faculty on the basis of scholarship, leader- ship, character, and service. Students must also accumulate at least fifteen activity points to lie considered as a candidate for member- ship. Torch Club serves not onlv as a reward to those students who strive the hardest and achieve the most in scholastic and extra-cur- ricular fields, but as a constant challenge to every 0. H. S. citizen to study more dilligently and serve his school better. The greatest honor a student may attain is to lx; chosen for Torch Club in his Junior year. The officers arc elected from this group, and those selected this year are Art Jones, president; Dick I ambert, vice president; and Marilyn Collins, secretary. Torch Club officers -M. Collins. I).

You Said It” Declam offers students many opportuni- ties in speech work for progressive development of their individual interests and abilities. There are opportunities for experience, not only in original oratory, humorous, and dramatic declamation, but also in interpretive reading and radio speaking. The latter field offers many vocational opportunities. Experience gained in Declam serves re- sourceful students well, not only in classroom recitations, but in social situations, both in and out of school. Effective s| ccch is a trait of superior personality. Under Mr. Hamley’s expert and magnetic guidance, many a student has found a great deal of pleasure and satisfaction from work in Declam. Competition in local, county, sub- district, district, and state contests is a stimu- lus and a challenge to do one's best. Marilyn Collins and Joy Hatfield study their script.

The purpose of the National Forensic league is to promote the interests of inter- scholastic debate, oratory, and public speaking by encouraging a spirit of fellowship and con- ferring upon deserving candidates a worthy badge of distinction. Degrees of membership are based on credit points earned in debates anti speeches, a mini- mum of twenty being necessary for member- ship in N. F. L. To encourage variety in speech work, a student is limited each year to seventy-five points for debate, fifty for speech contests, and fifty for service speeches. The official emblem of N. F. L. is a key or pin jeweled to designate the highest degree held by the member. Mr. Hamley is the helpful and efficient leader of this aggressive circle.

As a prospective member of Dramatic Club, one first tries out by giving a pantomine and a short reading before Miss Clark and the members of the Thespian Club. I laving done this satisfactorily, one is a “plcb” and is told that to become a regular Dramatic Club mem- ber, lie must make five points by the end of the first semester. These points arc made not only by selling tickets and acting in various productions, which is only a small part of dra- matic club activities, but by working on the various crews which put forth a lot of effort to make each play a success. Members of the Dramatic Club must also make five points each semester to show their interest in the club. When a Dramatic Club member earns enough | oints, he is then recognized as a mem- ber of Thespians, the honor societv within the Dramatic Club. There is also tne honorary cap and gown which is given each year to the outstanding boy and girl in dramatics. 'I he Dramatic Club is under the super- vision of Miss Clark, and the officers arc Flos- sie Graham, president; Jim Gilliland, vice- president; Martha Shoemaker, secretary; and Jack Swanson, treasurer.

Our job is to set a good example for others who wish to follow in our paths. We have obtained our points in the back- stage crew work and in having parts in play productions. To be Thespians, we have acquired one hundred points each, but we are endeavoring to reach higher achievements in becoming Stars”, Double Stars”, and Honor Thes- pians”. We have the responsibility of choosing the new Dramatic Club members. Our executives for this year are: Jim Smith, president; Bill Whitchouse, vice-presi- dent; Lois Elliot, secretary; and Greta Hawk- inson, treasurer. Miss Clark, our efficient and competent adviser, has helped to make our year a most profitable and enjoyable experi- ence in our O. H. S. life.

The ninctv-two members arc a selected group chosen for their excellent tonal qualities, cor- rect pitch, and accurate reading of parts. With the money received on tag days, the chorus has purchased new robes, which are blue tailored with white collars. Every member strives to become a mem- ber of the vocal ensembles. This year there are four, which arc, the boys' quartette, the mixed quartette, the senior sextette, and the junior sextette. The chorus is under the efficient anti help- ful leadership of Miss Aas who has spent much time, effort, and energy in perfecting the music done with the cooperation of these groups.

Playing and marching with military precision in their new modified West Point Royal blue uniforms, trimmed in red, with white belts, white shoes, and white plumes, it was the pride of thousands of Ot- tumwans. As a marching band, it teaches students physical fitness and mental alertness; as a con- cert band, maintaining symphonic instrumen- tation, it stimulates musicianship. Through its point system, it challenges students to work for their high school letter as well as for Torch.

Two American Sketches” A desire to create interest in various artis- tic phases has l een the motive of the Art Club during the past year. This group, under the able supervision of Miss Eighme, was organized for the benefit of all amateur artists who arc interested in shar- ing with each other their ideas and efforts. Business meetings were held at monthlv intervals throughout the year under the gui- dance of the club's officers. At various times social gatherings and parties were planned for the members. One obvious ambition of each member was to gain the required fifty |X)ints for ad- mittance into Iota Alpha Gamma, an honor chapter of the Art Club. The participants of this organization have begun to realize and develop a more sincere appreciation of the beauty surrounding them. Marilyn Celania selects a subject for art class.

For those who have enjoyed the oppor- tunities afforded in the Art Club, Iota Alpha Gamma, an inner art organization, has been established for a select group. To be class- tied in the more honored category, a person was required to obtain fifty points. 1 laving sufficiently accomplished that task, members were admitted to this inner circle. These fifty points were earned by par- ticipation in art projects outside of the class- room. Designing sets for plays, decorating throughout the school, and providing artistic homecoming floats were all tasks which helped interested students obtain the necessary points. Having gained a place in this honor art circle, the boys and girls worked together to advance their amateur art accomplishments. Iota Alpha Gamma has inspired the amateur artist of O. H. S. to strive tor greater things in the future. Page 85 Row I Marilyn Ogden, Marilyn Cclania. Virginia Ford, Toni Fisher, Glenda Doggett, Patty Carter. Row II Jeanninc Peer, Arietta Darner.

Ogden. The Spanish Club was organized chiefly for the purpose of combining the Spanisn classes into one single group. In this manner, the students establish new acquaintances, and have an opportunity to intermingle with those having the same interests. It is mainly for relaxation and enjoyment. Aside from their social activities, they main- tain an educational program. This includes movies and the preparation of Spanish music and tlances. Occasionally they are fortunate in having a visitor from a Spanish-American country. Any senor or senorita is eligible for mem- bership if he or she is taking Spanish or pre- viously has taken the course. The officers elected this year are: Marilyn Cclania, presi- dent; Marilyn Ogden, vice-president; Sally Turner, Secretary-treasurer; Bob Harvey, pro- gram chairman. Senor Hamlev serves as their enthusiastic sponsor and adviser. Page 86 Row I M. Gray, J. Silcox. M. Shoemaker, J. Pciffcr, J. Hatfield. J. Hanrahnn, G. Clark, M. Runkcl. Row II B. Jones, A.

Each month the club held a party in the club room and the students took part in these parties by singing songs, telling stories ,and presenting plays about France. They also read letters from students of that country. These parties not only provided interesting entertainment but helped the students to know and understand better the French people, their language and customs. Miss Fast is the leader and director of the club and the officers for this year are: Dick Loerke, president; Barbara Jones, vice-presi- dent; Janet Reedquist, secretary; and Bar- bara Lou Higdon, treasurer.

Another pur- pose, however, is to encourage a social spirit. Any student who is now carrying, or has had two commercial subjects is eligible for membership. The officers elected this year are: Marlys Palmer, president; Norma Ilaught, vice-presi- dent; Juanita Maring, secretary; Arlene Dan- els, treasurer.

Students may find any kind of reading material they may l e looking for in our own library, whether it be fiction, research books, biographies or even magazines and newspapers. Although we find students in the library almost any time of the school day, we notice that it is always courteously quiet for those who wish to study. Of course, we have the librarians to thank for their excellent assistance in helping us to find the books for which we may be looking, for checking out books, taking care of library slips, typing, filing, and aiding Miss Gallanar, the school librarian. Officers of the librarians are: Ronald But- ler, president; Particia Johnson, vice-president; and Ramona Jones, secretary. Page 80 1 Vzttzzi CLC?

S. students especially interested in creative writing. Organized last spring, this group meets twice a month in the evenings to read, discuss, and criticize each other’s writ- ten work which they have prepared before the meeting. These students have found that much can l e accomplished and their knowl- edge is broadened greatly by this practice of writing. Miss Jamison has given her time to advise these boys and girls in this field, and she has proved to be a very able and efficient super- visor for this task. The officers that were elected for this year are: president, Jeanne Leinhauser; vice-presi- dent, Joy Hatfield; secretary, Patsy Lamb; treasurer, Rosella Albertson; corresponding secretary, Beverly Graham, who attends the meetings by “tcacha-phonc.

Efficiency in ushering demands mental alertness and resourcefulness, courtesy, poise, and a great deal of tact. These traits arc helpful in any social situation, serving students well in all walks of life. Under the business like direction of Mr. Tiede, our sponsor, mcml ers of Ushers' Club have earned many service points this year and have had a lot of fun doing it. Zclma Bailey has been our head usher, and has effectively coordinated the work of the group, making it one of the smcxithcst work- ing units in Ottumwa High School.

Realizing the need for audio-visual education in the classroom, this group was organized under the supervision of Mr. Don Cassill. Several experienced student projector operators were on ham! to train eighteen new members in the skill of operating, caring for, and handling movie projectors. It was ar- ranged so that in various classes there would l e one member trained in the mechanics of pro- jection. This club was not developed for any social purpose, but purely as an educational venture. Meetings were held twice monthly as a train- ing period. The students at (). II. S. have become en- thusiastic about seeing movies and at the same time profiting by a new and easy aid to educa- tion.

The annals of football history are full of victories and honor earned by 0. 11. S. teams. This year the Red and White lived up to this story. Inexperienced and game-shy, the Bulldogs lost the first three games and were down for a “nine count. Many thought they would never recover. Suddenly, the gridders revived, and under the superb coaching of Don Newell and Fred Maasdam, the Bulldogs came back. Six games and six victories were racked up, including one over the arch rival and previous- ly unbeaten Burlington. This season meant much to the players, students, school, and fans, as it was a very fitting example of the many years of Bulldog glory. Pac.f. 99 VoottaCC F. Amos G. Boyer J. Davis Sr. J.

Its purpose is to promote the interest of girls in athletic activi- ties. Membership is open to any girl. It is based on a point system earned by participa- tion in recreational activities, both at school and during leisure hours. It is the desire of every G. A. A. girl to earn enough points to qualify her for the school letter, state pin, and even the gold cup. The senior award is given to the most outstanding girl and is based upon scholarship, leadership, sportsmanship, and club service. Serving the club as officers this year are: president, Paula Brouhard; vice president, Rosella Albertson; secretary and treasurer, Shirlene McFarland; publicity manager, Marjory Hoover. Miss Evelyn Rentchlcr is the club’s very efficient and capable adviser. Page 108 suk eu Row I—Barbara Culbertson. Marilyn Mullin, Marjorie Hoover, Beverly Hosette, Beverly Rankin.

The Mermaids” Shark Club is a girls' organization well- known for its outstanding swimmers. Try-outs are held early every fall, when the hopeful aspirants are graded on their abil- ity to do all strokes and a stunt and at the same time be relaxed, graceful, and have good breath control and endurance. There is always something for Shark Club members to do. Aside from working on new stunts, they enter competitive swimming meets for racing and synchronized swimming. An outstanding event of the year is the annual pageant which is written by the girls, blending colorful costumes, music, and light- ing. The performance is planned along a definite theme to make a delightful production. Very little of this could be accomplished without the time and advice given by Miss Vida Bernau, the club's adviser.

One of the most successful homecomings in (). H. S. history was held Friday, October 7, 1949. Following the colorful afternoon parade of the O. II. S. band, escorting the six queen candidates through the business section, the evening coronation between halves of the Keokuk-Ottumwa football game was a bril- liant affair. Queen of the homecoming was pretty Lois .Masters. She was escorted by Rod Fitsimoncs, attended by Toni Fisher and Carole Johnson first and second atten- dants, and crowned by Bob Poline, master of ceremonies. Perfect weather, an Ottumwa victory, a pretty queen, and a magnificent coronation, climaxed by the dance in the high school gym, gaily decorated by the G. A. A. under the direction of Miss Rentchler and Miss Bernau, made this first school-sponsored homecoming something to remember. What a game! What a queen 1 What a dance! What a night!

Regardless of where you go, there is a challenge in the business of daily living. Some of the shields which have surrounded you in school will not be there. A cheerful attitude, a firm determination to take life in its stride, a sincere effort to make it better for yourself and others will enable you to look on this time in your career as a major stepping stone.
