Adviser The last chapter of our life at Ottumwa High School is finished. Sometimes it seemed as if we would never reach the end. But. we have finally obtained our goal -graduation. As we look hack on those three mem- orable years, we find that we were some- times discouraged. But, above all, we remember the friendly attitude of our classmates and teachers who hel|)cd us along the road of learning. As this year closes, we wonder what the future holds for us. Whatever it is, whether it Ik college, the service, or a job, we will always rememlier and apply the knowledge we gained at (). H. S. Not only is the scholastic phase of high school vital, hut the extracurricular acti- vities arc also necessary. We shall not soon forget the many honors we have received: Torch Club, Student Council, class or club officers, or as memliers of the various athletic teams. Now as we leave these halls of learn- ing, we, the senior class of 1953, would like to say a sincere thank you” to the faculty, our counselors, and our class adviser, for helping us to realize our goal.

We have selected outstanding students for class officers, and Student Council members. Many in our class have l ecome leaders in athletics, and other extra-curricular activities. The others of us have attempted to become good followers as meml ers of these or- ganizations. Throughout the trials of the past two years we have had the advantage of the friendly and |xatient council of our ad- visor, Miss Fast. Now with one year remaining we take note of our responsibilities as seniors. We realize that all the learning and knowledge which we have achieved through the grades will result in greater accomplishments in this next year. We will endeavor to develop our characters in honesty and courage so that we may exemplify honor as stated in our motto. We trust in doing this we will become promising citizens for a troubled world.

KINSKI.I.A, Adviser Last fall the class of 1955 silently en- tered (). II. S.f but it wasn't that way very long. We entered into most of the extra-curricular activities with the en- thusiasm and vigor of upperclassmen. We have given our all to everything into which we have ventured. We were all pioneers, discovering the wonderfulness of high school anti exploring the fields of education. Through the helpful guidance of our teachers we have climbed a third of the way up the ladder to our main goal, grad- uation. Our class advisor, Mrs. Kinsclla. has been very helpful and a true friend to all those who have sought her help on any subject. We of the Sophomore class have shown our true qualities in things we have un- dertaken from shining upperclassmen's shoes to taking an active part in extra- curricular activities. By entering into these activities, we have learned to know many more people than would have been |M ssible in everyday school life. Our student council representatives arc an example of the high calibre of the Sophomore class this year. Pace 51 Pace SopJwnwMA, 1955 Rulli Anderson, EthelUorence Allen. Marilyn Bitner, Sue Anderson.

Extra! Extra! The news is out! And that means the monthly Argus News has again lx. en published. Small groups of students gather around the reserve posts where the pajxrrs are distributed, eager to read current stories and views on extra-curricular activities. On the second | agc of the edition one finds the gossip” column, which is prol ably the most pop- ular and first turned to item. The general school news is found on the first page and the club news on the third. News concerning Ik� vs' and girls’ sports activities and accounts of tne games are on the fourth page. The news is compiled by a student stall' anti divided into the four sections with the help of the four editors. All of this is accomplished under the capable supervision of Miss Dorris Creswell. Being selected to the stall' is one of the honors that may come to an Ottumwa High student, for onlv a few of the manv who try out arc accepted. This (X)sition is valuable not only because of the honor it affords but also l ecause of the helpful experience it gives all the stall' members who are interested in journalism. News items are arranged and typed bv Argus members to be read over the loud speaker each day during the advisory |K riod.

Pack 65 Tom Houlihan Treasurer Dramatic Club officers with new club room- mural in the background. The Dramatic Club has a diversified program with a job for nearly every interest. The club is known for its numerous fine productions in the past which undoubtedly will continue. A membership in this organization is easily at- tained by any interested | erson. All candidates arc interviewed by a Thespian at the first'of the year. A file card recording the phase most in- teresting to the candidate is made. His work is then channeled in that direction. After the ini- tial acceptance the candidate becomes a plcbc and enters the active list if and when he earns five |K)ints before the first semester. To remain active a member must continue at this rate throughout his high school career. Under the direction of Mrs. Green the actors and the crews have attained the high degree of teamwork that leads toward perfection shown in the final production. Traditionally, the actor holds the limelight, but the fellow l chind the scene deserves credit for making the job of the actor much easier and better. In retrosijcct we of the dramatic club feel that we can look backward with satisfaction and can look forward with eager anticipation for the big- ger and better plays to come.

II. S. On Parade.” This program is arranged entirely by the students under the direction of the program manager, Dan Efncr. Working under him arc the school news manager, Jody Haw; special feature man- ager, Virginia Silcox; sport s manager. Chuck Gustavcson and music manager, Wendell Jones.

Its locale was British General Hospital ! chind the Assam-Burma front. It is not a war play, but rather the author uses a hospital as a meeting place for G.

To make the play more timely we have changed the setting to Taegu in Korea. The time has been changed from 1944 to 1951. Page 71 Sludswt ti Aswibh Top Left—Alberta Simmons, Ramona Ncwlaiul.

Those groups arc a girls' trio, a mixed quartette, a boys quartette, a girls' sextette, and a small madrigal group, which contains nine members. Both A Mixed-Chorus and the small vocal groups have furnished many enjoyable pro- grams for both school and civic affairs through- out the past year. Since most of the practicing of the small groups is done outside of school, other students seldom realize the time and effort which is spent to provide worthwhile entertainment. We sincerely appreciate the helpful and competent leadership of our director. Miss Aas.

S. march- ing band execute a precision drill. Behind that drill are long hours of home practice and early morning drill sessions. When the marching season ends, our eighty piece hand strives to become a | olished con- cert hand worthy of playing for the spring concert and festivals. During the school year, hand members have the satisfaction of playing at football and l asketball games, participating in marching contests and presenting the “Stars and Stripes.” Added to this satisfaction, there are close friends made and hand letters earned. Under the expert leadership of Mr. Ix gan Zahn we have an excellent hand which is al- ways improving. THE FRENCH HORN SECTION Beatrice Parks, Jacqueline Smith. Joan Wingate. Gordon Banks.

A new feature of the S|� anish Club, that has never been tried before, has been to invite into membership students who are not taking Spanish, but arc planning to take it later either in high sc!ux l or college. The idea behind this move is to spread interest in a foreign language and an especial interest in our Ameri- can neighbors. Everyone is interested in such a fascinating country as Mexico, or any of the Spanish American countries. Who will be more interested than the student who will per- haps visit this famed land of flowers, senoritas, music, and colorful costumes?

Besides participating in a variety of sports the girls have initiated a new program this year which consisted of two play days, one basket- ball and one volleyball. Girls from other G. A.

The Ottumwa High School engineers are a group of people who work hard lx hind the scenes to make our building a more healthful and comfortable place in which to work. Seldom do we realize the hard work that is done by this group, as most of it is done early in the morning, or during our class periods. In reality our engineers are very busy the year around. During school they work hard to give our class rooms, halls, and grounds a neat, well-kept appearance. They also operate the heating plant and keep our cafeteria clean. They are kept especially busv during basket- ball and football seasons. During our sum- mer vacations, the engineers repaint the halls and rooms, refinish desks, and make all other repairs necessary for the upkeep of the build- ing.
