Adviser “Fame and honor we restore, IFe’re the Class of ’54.” It is with sadness that we, the class of 1954, prepare to leave the halls ofO. 11. S. But it is with a feeling of triumph that we receive our diplomas, the goal for which we have been working throughout our school years. We remember our first ycarat (). II. S. as sophomores and how it seemed as if we never would reach our goal. But with the friendly and understanding help of our faculty, counselors, fellow students, and our adviser, Mr. Fields, we have reached graduation. Our class is proud of its many achieve- ments and honors in the classrooms as well as in extracurricular activities, which have helped to broaden our education. We also are proud of our Student Coun- cil, class officers, anti Torch Club Mem- bers. Whatever the future holds for us, we feel prepared to face it with con- fidence. We shall remember always our motto and live up to it to the best of our abili- ties. Pace 17 S niahA. Twylla L. Albertson Dick Bachman Reserves 3-4 Intramural 3-4 B-Mixed Chorus 2 Miciiaki.

H. S. During the past two years, we have striven to measure up to the high stand- ards of our school. Through grade school and junior high we looked forward with eager anticipa- tion to the day when we too, would be- long to “Big High.” Upon arrival we immediately loved her. As juniors we are bound to her with a strong sense of loyalty and school spirit which will con- tinue henceforth. As a class we have made notable achievements in extra-curricular acti- vities, citizenship, and academic work. This past year we’ve had the friendly counsel of Mr. Dougherty, our adviser, whom we shall never forget; nor shall we forget the assistance given us by our many teachers. Vith the uncertainty of world condi- tions, it is imperative that we utilize every moment and phase of our education to enable us to cope with the many prob- lems we are sure to meet. By applying the knowledge and culture acquired here today we nope to become competent citizens tomorrow. Paul 51 Qiuwdaa. 1955 Row 1 Margaret Davis.

To make democracy work in our sch(x l is the purpose of the Council. The problems in a democracy are many and deeply involved. The individual student is the center «of our democracy. To help each student live most happily and suc- cessfully is the Council’s goal. The Council, to achieve this, operates a re- serve system, to help maintain order and quiet throughout the high school; a club room for social functions; a lost and found bureau; a check room at athletic activi- ties; ami a “teen of the week program, which has proved as popular in its third year, as in its other two. The officers who have served this fine organization during the past year arc: Dick Tcasdalc, president; Jerry Zesigcr, vice-president; Mary Maasdam, secretary; and Marsha Newell, treasurer.

Students always gather eagerly around the re- serve posts to receive their copies. The general school news is found on the first |� age anti the “gossip” column which is probably the most popular of all time is published on the second page. News of clubs is found on the third page and the fourth page carries our sports activi- ties. The news is compiled by a student staff un- der the capable supervision of Miss Dorris Cres- well. To lx? selected to the staff is an honor, as many try out but few are accepted. It is a val- uable position not only because of the honor but because of the experience it gives to all those staff members interested in journalism. Preparation of the Argus Daily is also an important function of this staff. News items of the day are arranged and typed in a bulletin to Ik? read by Mr. Van Antwerp during the advisory period.

S., with its approximate membership of one hun- dred twenty, is one of the schools largest and most popular extracurricular acti- vities. Each play production is made | os- sible not only by the cast, but also by the endless effort put forth bv the various crews. The costume, advertising, stage, lighting, and paints crews are all needed, working together to make a fine show. This year under the direction of Mrs. Dorothy Nichols, this group presented two plays, three one-act plays and helped in other stage productions. When a student obtains one hundred points, which comes none l x easily, he may l ecome a member of the National Order of Thespians. 'This organization is highly regarded, with all Dramatic Club memliers aspiring to this for their goal. Page 74 Row I Janette Schlunz, Patty Jo Erhardt.

Pack 77 DEBATE It is the goal of the Debate Club to l c able to think clearly and speak effectively on one’s feet. This presents a challenge to the mem- bers of this group. The thirty-six members of the club use topics of current interest on the state, national and international scene. The opportunity lor expression is present- ed bv the invitational meets and contests sjxm- sored by the Iowa High School Speech Asso- ciation as well as the local community activi- ties. This year under the direction of Miss Moyers and the president Gunter lluonkcr, the Debate Club has been an outstanding fea- ture of speech work. DECLAM Declam offers students many opportuni- ties in speech work for the development of their individual interests and abilities. 'Phis devel- opment may be made in original oratory or in humorous anti dramatic declamation. The fields of interpretive reading and radio speak- ing offer vocational opportunities as well as personal development. Work in Declam gives a student |x ise in social situations as well as confidence in class room work. The members of Declam Club present their work at invitational meets and contests. The competition on pre-district, district and state levels present a stimulus and a challenge to do one’s l est. RADIO Now in its second year, the Radio Club is an outstanding part of the speech depart- ment. 'Phis group acquaints the public with class room work as well as extra curricular activities. The Saturday morning radio program (). II. S. On Parade” is produced entirely by the students under the direction of the program manager, Wendell Jones. Working with him are the school news manager, Barbara Brunk; special feature manager, Virginia McWilliams; sports' manager, Jean Canny, and music man- ager, Pat Austin. The Radio Club has presented excellent programs throughout this year. We congrat- ulate them on their g xxl work. Pack 78 UaJiisth .

Although we write for the fun of writing, we sometimes enter our com|x sitions in state or national contests. In previous years members of the club have won national honors. These awards give evidence of the interest and effort put forth and of the talent displayed by the members. During our monthly meetings, we read and discuss previously prepared work which covers different areas of composition.

A. this year had charge of all home-coming activities. These included the parade, the coronation ceremonies and the dance following the game. The big project of the year, ol course, was the purchase of the trampoline. The girls had the concession stand in the Boys' District Tournament to finance this project. The girls have had fun t x . Tourna- ments were conducted in basketball, volley- ball and ping-pong. The organization had as its able leader, Mrs. Lathrop.

After a rousing pep assem- bly in the afternoon there was a Homecoming Parade, the first in several years. During halftime of the game with Bur- lington, which we won 25 to 14, Bette Ellen Ilammcn was crowned queen. In her court were Marsha Newell, Sally Chambers, Mary Maasdam, Barbara Rankin, and Juliana Crilcv. Following the game Queen Bette and her court reigned over the big Homecoming Dance which was held in the high schexd gym. G. A. A. deserves much credit for the suc- cess of Homecoming.

Well 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 today, and the food is both wholesome and reasonably priced. Students who bring their lunches also use the cafeteria and it is frequent- visited by those who want a coke or candy bar. The new milk dispenser has eliminated a great deal os disorder in the cafeteria as have the daily contests between the three lunch periods for neatness. To perform greater service to the school, the cafeteria is run on a non-profit Ixisis. Outside of school hours, it serves as a place for the boys and girls of O. II. S. to gather for large jiarties, dinners, and club meetings. The high schixil cafeteria is a vital and ever-functioning | art of the school. We are efficiently served.

I)o you keep your watch clean and in good running condition? ()1 course you do. II you didn’t, it would be of little use to you. I-ol us therefore compare Ottumwa High School, our school, to your watch. A watch l cing a small machine requires but one |)erson to keep it ticking; however a school is a much larger machine and requires many more | ersons in its upkeep. Although the care of the school anti of the watch have the same principle, perhaps there is one difference, a watch re- quires but occasional attention while our school must l e given constant attention. There is cleaning, repairing and other such jobs which must be done anti are done by the engineers at O. If. S. in order to keep this gigantic ma- chine purring like a kitten.

That sage advice is as good today as it was those long years ago. It will l e just as good in your to- morrows as it is today. We recommend the thought especially to you seniors as you and your high school careers and step into a new life. Whether you go on to college or enter the world of business, from now on you will be recog- nized and judged as individuals -not as meml ers of some group. So it is important that you build the sort of i ersonality that points toward leadership. You will find that your best chance lies in being vour own natural self, picking up the polish of experi- ence as you go along. No one likes an artificial person, be it man or woman. Already you’ve seen such af- fected persons, presenting a false front to the world. And you didn't like them much, did you? I low much better they would have got along had they l een easy and natural. A bluffer may seem to be getting ahead faster than you. Be assured his act will be recognized sooner or later as just that by discerning people those who count. lie yourself. It pays off in both | opularity and success. Our sincere wishes for happiness go with all of you. Ottumwa 2Dail? Courier John Huston, Publisher. Pack 151 Success to the Class of 54 They Have Earned the Best!
