The Argus 1957 Ottumwa High School Ottumwa, Iowa School Song Ottumwa High will always be our school, And we'll ever love her true, We'll sing for 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. Page 2 Presenting Staff Another year has passed.

Sponsor Class of 1957 To be or not to be. that is the question. This oft-quoted phrase was well representative of the 1957 senior, as each of us was obliged to make decisions which would shape our destin- ies. Conscious of the hastening time. 380 seniors, under the able sponsorship of Mr. Bob Thom- as. strove to make the very most of their final year of O. H. S. life. Term themes, football and basketball games. Friday evenings at the Corral. the tribulations of Macbeth, music and drama, college representatives' interviews, the Junior-Senior Prom.............all these were molded into the busy life of the average upperclassman. It seems but a very short time ago that we were confused little sophomores determined to conquer every new challenge presented. Out of stiff competition for student council, class officers, prized positions on athletic teams, and sophomore cheer-leaders emerged a true spirit of pride and loyalty among the new Bulldog rooters. This same whole-hearted spirit pre- vailed as industrious juniors added new honor and distinction to the fine record already estab- lished. Finally, as the zero-hour of graduation grew near, this feeling created a glad yet sad mood within the seniors. Although we soon will leave Ottumwa High, we take a part of it with us in our hearts and minds. The memories of three wonderful years will be cherished forever.

KILLIAN — Advisor Class of 1958 The youth of today are the leaders of tomorrow. The Junior Class, the class of 1956 realizes the importance and veracity of the proverb, that we will be America's leaders of tomorrow. During the last two rewarding and successful years at O. H. S., we have gained a multi- tude of different and happy experiences that will send us on the road of life as proud and opti- mistic American citizens. Therefore, we have resolved to make an all out effort to attain unequaled goals in the differ- ent educational fields such as sports, scholarship, citizenship, and extracurricular activities. We have realized that our efforts have not been in vain for we have achieved honor in our numerous undertakings and are constantly elevating our goals and objectives so that we will continue to have new horizons to challenge and conquer. We have realized that much of our success and accomplishments have been made possible by the guidance and patient understanding of the faculty, our classmates, and class advisor. Mr. Killian. And we will again walk up the familiar steps at O. H. S. and down the halls to our class- rooms as Seniors, we will realize new goals and objectives that we will challenge with re- newed hope. Each of us will strive to uphold the challenge and honor of O. H. S. and feel proud of our- selves that we will be tomorrow’s leaders of America, the proud and confident leaders that our country needs. Page 45 Row I. Vicki Barnett, Ruth Baugh.

During our first year here at O. H. S. we have tried to live up to this yell and will continue to do so through two more wonderful years. We owe our good times to our advisor, Mr. Hamley, our teachers, and to the upperclassmen who, after the first day, helped us feel right at home. We are proud of our citizenship, academic work, and extra curricular activities. We are also proud of the fact that we are the largest class ever to enter O. H. S. In the years to come, our aims at O. H. S. will be to obtain such high personal qualities as leadership, honor, and courage. If we continue to be strong in spirit and strong in mind , we will reach our goal and be known proudly as the class of “59 . Page 51 of Row I.—Carol Fisk, Brenda Fraz- ier.

I do not only want to say farewell to O. H. S.. as last year’s seniors did with their song, but I want to say farewell to all those who made my time here in Ottumwa such a gay and happy time. From the first day I arrived here they took care of me and helped me, to come over those first days of feeling ’’lost” and unnecessary. I want to thank them all. my nice family who took care of me for this year, my friends, who never left me alone, and my teachers, who tried so hard to teach me whatever is necessary to know nowadays. Certainly this year brought me a wealth of experiences and events, which I will take home with me, and I am sure will never forget. All the impressions of American life will be something I wUl tell my friends, relatives, clubs and all others, but one of the most important things is that I can say every American can be proud to be an Ameri- can. I especially want to thank the O. H. S. Student Council which made my visit here in Ottumwa possible in the first place. The Student Council works very hard for sponsoring the foreign ex- change students and everybody should help them, because they are bringing understanding and friend- ship between persons from different countries and that is one of the most marvelous things to do. If there is another exchange student here in Ottumwa next year and if he reads these lines. I only want to tell him that he will be very happy here and that he will find that Ottumwa is one of the best towns to live in. FRED STAMM The Teen of the Week” is a student coun- cil project. The council operates the reserve system for our school. Students of Ottumwa High School continued the tradition established in 1921 by electing eighteen members to the govern- ing body known as’ the student council. This body consists of six seniors, six juniors, five sophomores and the honorary member which is the foreign exchange student. The aim of the council is to promote democracy by teach- ing the student initiative and leadership. Since its origin it has progressed in interesting the student in extra curricular activities and improving the honor and welfare of the school. The governing body has continued to sponsor a foreign ex- change student, the reserve system, silent grace in the cafe- teria and promoting anything which will be a benefit to the school and community. Officers serving through-out the past year arc as follows: President, Jerry Smart; Vice-President. Lisa Harper; Secre- tary, Mary Jo Dellinger; Treasurer, Nancy Henderson. Mrs. James is the very capable ad- visor of the stu- dent council. Argus Annual Joy Wise Paul Zika Gary Luke In planning the Argus Annual many books from other schools are studied. Sandra Berry Robert Tuller Carol Fisk Carolyn Lay Many students are required to give their time and energy in the publication of the annual. The purpose of the Argus Annual is to furnish the students with a lasting memen- to of their school days at O. H. S. It is a record of classmates, teachers, clubs, and activities. Miss Jump and Mr. Anderson are the very helpful advisors of the annual staff.

S. students are kept well informed through the efforts of a hard-working group of s.udent journalists. These students comprise the staff of the Argus News. This school newspaper is published at frequent intervals through- out the year, under the capable supervision of Miss Creswcll. Sales are no problem to Argus News editors and staff members. All available copies quickly find their way into the hands of an excited reader. They are interested in the reports of club activities, sports events, and miscellaneous news-items, as well as photographs, editorials, and humor- ous additions. The Argus News staff also presents a daily news edition, the Argus Daily. This collection of announcements is read to the student body over the inter-communication system. It serves as a helpful means of communicating with individ- uals. with groups, and with the student body at large. Ottumwa High is fortunate to have such a complete sys- tem of presenting school news. May we take this oppor- tunity to express our thanks in a hearty •‘salute to the press.” Row I. Sara Blackford.

These students are chosen for their excellent tone quality, correct pitch, and the ability to read parts accurately. From this large chorus are chosen several small vocal groups. Those groups are a girls’ quartette, a mixed quartette, a boys’ quartette, a girls’ sextette, and a boys' double mixed quar- tette. which contains nine members. Both A Mixed-Chorus and the small vocal groups have furnished many enjoyable programs for both school and civic affairs throughout 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 com- petent leadership of our director. Miss Aas. Page 72 Chorus Row IB Shirley Yates. Judy Rigler, Dee Inman. Paula Neil. Nancy Chapin.

Any capable siting player in the city schools may join by invi- tation. Only the most advanced wind and percus- sion players from the symphonic band are asked to join. The few vacancies caused by graduation are filled during the summer music school rehearsals. The dress for all important events is formals and suits. This unique group, under the excellent dir- ection of Logan A. Zahn. studies a variety of com- positions from Bach to novelty numbers, but con- siderable emphasis is put on the classics. The past year has been a busy one for the Sym- phony. In the fall this group furnished music for the teachers opening workshop session and open house. Then followed the Christmas Pageant, spring concert, and graduation excereises. May 17-18 the Symphony participated in the Tri-City Music Festival held in Burlington and. as an added treat, went on a two day concert tour which in- cluded performances at Newton and Waterloo East High Schools, and Wartburg College in Wavcrly, Iowa.

With these characteristics the sixty-eight piece O. H. S. Marching Band takes to the field. With pride and a high step, this group entertained spectators at football and basketball games and came home with a first at the Southeast Iowa Class A Marching contest. This same group marched in the homecoming parade for Miss Universe. Ottum- wa’s own Miss Carol Morris. As the winter snow melted, the activities of the marching band slacked, and the concert band takes the spotlight, first by presenting a concert for the Young People’s Series, followed by the An- nual Spring Concert in co-operation with the Orchestra and Chorus. To climax the years activities the ninety piece concert band moved to Burlington to take part in the annual Tri-City Festival with the combined bands of Davenport and Burlington. The director was G. C. Bainum, retired director of the Northwestern University Bands. The summer sun and rising temperatures close the doors of O. H. S.. and all these things become memories, until next year when again the O. H. S. Band will earn this comment from the people of Ottumwa: There goes OUR band!” Page 79 Speech Club President Phil Miller Treasurer Carol Wing N. F. L. Secretary Karen Reeve Vice President Kay Carpenter Business Manager Jerry Parker Program Chairman Bette Lea Redman Secretary Lorraine Smith Publicity Chairman Ann Eidem Historian Sandra Miller Miss Robinson Speech Club Advisor. Mrs. Barcis Assistant Advisor. The Ottumwa High School Speech Club has set as its purpose to provide opportunities in speak- ing for O. H. S. students and to stimulate an interest in speech work. As a basis of our democracy, effective speech becomes very important. In no other club can a student find such diversified activities. This year some one hundred stu- dents took part in the annual Variety Show, car wash, and selling at games. Ottumwa High can be proud of the fine record the speech contestants have made throughout the state in the various divi- sions of speecn. In addition they have presented programs for clubs of the community. Radio Club, a division of Speech Club, produces two radio shows weekly. O. H. S. on Parade. and Tunes for Teens.” The Ottumwa High School Speech Club is indeed a well-rounded and worth-while organization. Page 80 Row I. Lois Tipton. Jeanne Williams. Nancy Henderson.

The promotion of school spirit is the club's purpose. Their ener- getic school spirit has been a guiding force in this school year and where school spirit was to be found, the Pep Club was also found. The many worthwhile activities undertaken this year were sponsoring school dances, selling mums at homecoming, and attending out-of-town football and basketball games. Membership in this suc- cessful organization is open to anyone inter- ested in promoting school spirit. Much of the success of the Pep Club can be accredited to the club sponsor.

Page 8i Future Nurses The Future Nurses Club is an organization at Ottumwa High School which any Sophomore, Junior, or Senior Girl is eligible to join. To be a member, a girl must sign up in the fall and then take part in the initiation. The purpose of this club is to promote the teachings of nursing to girls who have an interest in the profession. It prepares the girls for any future nurses training they may wish to take. Each girl works at the Ottumwa Hospital at least once a week. The club has had the privilege of having talks given to them by the elementary school nurse and by the public health nurse. The speakers told the girls about the functions of the hospital and about the duties of a nurse. During the latter part of April, the club went to Cedar Rapids to a Future Nurses meeting. The sponsors of this organization are Mrs. Loren Coppoc and school nurse Ruby Holton. Serving as president this year is Margie Wymore; vice presi- dent, Barbara Northup; secretary, Patty Schwartz; and treasurer, Ruth Baugh. OFFICERS Barbara Northup.

S. are the members of the Ushers Club. On nearly every Friday evening of the year, at 6 p. m. or thereabouts while most of the student body are just starting to prepare for whatever activity is planned for the evening, you may find these faithful servants at their stations and in readi- ness to escort any early comers to their seats, be it basketball or football game or a stage produc- tion. This club is currently in the process of becom- ing a part of Dramatic Club. This year for the first time members may earn Dramatic Club points as well as points toward a letter award. In addi- tion. all members are awarded one point toward Torch Club membership for each semester of ser- vice. Sponsors for the group this year have been Mrs. Dorothy K. Nickols and Mr. E. W. Tiede. Act- ing as student co-chairmen have been Karen Reeve and Charlene Prosser. As an usher these students are representatives of our school and can do much toward creating a favorable impression of our school upon the general public through their indi- vidual contacts with them. A great responsibility, specifically the name and reputation of our school, rests upon the shoulders of these students. Next year guests at our school activities will be escorted down the aisles by the O. H. S. ushers dressed in trim new uniforms of red and white. As a group who put in more than their share of faith- ful and loyal service, yet benefit from comparatively little recognition or praise, these girls rate as first class citizens of O. H. S.

Although largely an organization for social activities, the Spanish Club accomplishes much in giving its members a broader understanding of the lives and customs of our Spanish-speaking neigh- bors. On the second Tuesday of each month, meetings were held, either in the homes of the members or the Club Room. A highlight of the year was a Tortilla party, at which everyone dressed in Span- ish costumes. The spring trip in May to Burlington and Keokuk brought the events of the past year to a most enjoyable conclusion.

It is one of the chief educational assets of our school. Although the library is one of the busiest corners of the school, it is also one of the best organized and quietest spots. The members of the Librarians' Club are the librarians of our school. The aim of this outstand- ing club is to help the faculty and students in finding reference material for studies or books for leisure reading. Each librarian gives his time generously to the care and need of the library. The duties’of a librarian include: taking care of library slips, tvp- ing. filing, and checking out books. The Librarians' Club is under the excellent guidance of Miss Wiseman, who has just completed her first year at O. H. S. This club meets once monthly at which time new ways and means for improving library service and plans for library publicity are discussed. Dur- ing the past year, the club's officers were: Judy Brooks. President; Shirley Guiter, Vice-President; Donna Howe, Secretary-Treasurer. Page 89 F. T. A The Future Teachers of America is an organiz- ation of young people who are planning and pre- paring themselves to go into the teaching profes- sion. They believe, as expressed by the President of the United States, that America's future depends upon its schools and therefore their greatest con- tribution to America can be made in the field of teaching. The F. T. A. of Ottumwa High School has 26 members. Miss Nell White is the very capable faculty advisor of the group. Monthly meetings have been held through the year. Members of Fu- ture Teachers Associations from other schools in this area have been guests at several of the meet- ings. The association participated in Future Teachers Day held at Ottumwa Heights College. All those who attended felt that it was a profitable day. Mr. Joe Getteys, president of the Iowa State Education Association was the speaker at the Annual Spring Banquet.

Y-Teens is a world-wide organization for young girls. It is an organization connected with the Y. W. C. A. and is open to any girl wanting to join. Y-Teens have many different interests. They take part in civic projects like the free babysitting service which they held during Christmas holidays. Mothers were free to bring their children to the Y. W. C. A. and leave them all afternoon free of charge. They also try to learn things in fields which interest them. Ballroom dancing, swimming, and modern dancing lessons were given. Y-Teens also participate in sports. They have a basketball team in a league. The Ottumwa group was host to 150 girls who attended the Annual Fall Conference which was held in Ottumwa this year. Senior High Y-Teens are also a very sociable group. They had several parties, a hayride, bunk party, co-op supper, and met with the other Y-Teens of Ottumwa. The Ottumwa Y-Teens sent Ann Peppers and Roberta Price as representatives to Washington D. C. last fall to the National Convention. They are also planning on sending several delegates to a summer conference at Simpson College this year. Commercial Club Row I Judy Johnson, Judy Williamson. Janice Danels. Janice George.

Rugged scrim- mages. vigorous calisthentics,—each played an important part in building morale and muscles of the team. Assistant coach Bob Chugger Wilson with; his Go, Bulldogs, go’’ boosted the will to win considerably. This year the Bulldogs record was four wins, five lasses. When consideration is given to a couple of near-wins” this is a satisfactory tally indeed. More import- ant yet, the Bulldogs this year showed great possibilities and definite promise for an undefeated season in the near future.

The result was a very commendable two wins, two ties, and only one loss. The first game was a seven to nothing victory over Oskaloosa. Hard and fast ball was the rule throughout the season. This was shown in their win over Centerville with a score of eighteen to six. Their next game was an even match with Washington. The teams held each other to a final score of six to six. The Burlington team toppled the Bullpups by a score of twenty-eight to seven. The last game was a no score game with Fairfield. We all wish good luck to the Bullpups as they join the Varsity team next year. Page 99 Varsity Row I.—Jim Humphrey. Gary Luke. Doug Collins. Bob Venator, Jim Barton. Ray Venator. Tom Long.

Again, from the next five games, four were O. H. S. victories. The last six games passed with the Bulldogs on top only once. A rally toward the end of the year produced smoother and hotter playing, but competition was just too rough. Page 100 Basketball Varsity 1957 Page 102 Bullpups Basketball Row I.

Their record, which is 16 wins and only two losses, stands as one of the finest records at Ottumwa High. They won the first six straight games over Des Moines Tech. Oskaloosa. Albia, Mount Pleasant. Washington, and Burlington. Then they came upon their first loss by losing to Keokuk by only one point. Then they won the next three straight from Muscatine, Fort Madison, and Fairfield. Then came their second and only other loss of the season from Mt. Pleas- ant. who they beat earlier in the season. They finished the season by winning the last seven games. With such a spectacular record, Ottumwa can look forward to having a state championship basketball team in the next couple of years.

Only a few mem- bers are selected each year. The girls try out early in the fall and are selected for their ability and style. Although synchronized swimming may appear easy, the girls spend many long hours preparing for their annual pageant. The theme this year was Toyland”, a production which both young and old enjoyed. The pag- eant is a swimming production showing the public synchronized swimming and diving combined with song and dance routines. The purpose of Shark Club is to promote safety and fun in water sports. Each mem- ber must complete her Senior Lifesaving be- fore her first year in the club is over.

The reason for this is because of the loss of many trackmen who graduated last year. At Iowa City they received sixth place in the state indoor A. A. U.’ meet. Again at Iowa City at the Little Six meet, they placed fourth. Then at their own relays, the Ottumwa Relays, they were third in team scoring. At the Oskaloosa Relays they were fifth. And as the Annual goes to press, we are hoping that the track team will come through with flying colors in their re- maining meets. Page 110 Row 1. Mr. Roth. Chase Mitchell. Dean Sinclair.

Golf Golf is a sport at Ottumwa High School which really deserves recognition for its contribution to athletics. This year the team is continuing its fine record as a representative of our school. The golfers have a good beginning this year by winning the first three games. Although the annual must go to press at the beginning of the golf season we feel certain the team will maintain the fine reputa- tion it has established among Iowa high schools. In the first game of the 1957 season Ottumwa beat Fairfield by a score of 347 to Fail-field’s 371. Likewise, the Ottumwa club was victorious in a tri-city meet with Knoxville and Albia. The scores were Ottumwa. 338; Knoxville. 345; and Albia. 400. Our team also proved the better in its third game of the season by winning over Centerville with a score of 329 to 340 for Centerville. We wish Coach Roth and his team much success in their ensuing games. Page 111 Chase Mitchell. Larry Steeples, Bill DePrenger.

Besides leading the cheering sections, the girls are active participants in many other extra- curricular activities. Nevertheless, our girls remain faithful to their job. following the school wherever it goes, and leading students in cheering our boys on to victory.

But elsewhere on this globe of ours it isn't simple at all; isn't possible, in fact, in many lands. Here we are with merchandise made the way we at Sears thought it should be, offering goods we felt you might like to see. There you are, free to select from Sears or not, as you yourself decide. We hope it will merit your approval; that we will be favored with your business. But, in any event both you and we have cause to rejoice in the fact that you can buy wherever you wish in the traditional Ameri- can way. yuaean edozycwa u ney tfaai ’ 121 East Main Street Dial MURRY 2-4511 Ottumwa.
