Ottumwa High School - Argus Yearbook (Ottumwa, IA)

Text from Pages 1 - 172 of the 1959 volume:

WE8ERTS PRINTING FOREWORD In presenting this 1959 Argus Annual the aim and most sincere wish of the staff is that this shall serve as a summary of the past year's activities in the Ottumwa High School, one which in years to come will serve to bring back pleasant memories to those who have tasted the pleasures and benefits of high school life. Judge it by your own standards of what a book of this sort should be, being lenient in criticism for we confess it has defects. Nevertheless, if it furnishes brief enjoyment for today and lasting pleasure for tomorrow, then we will feel repaid for our earnest efforts. The Argus staff is indebted to all those who worked many hours without pay, to the students and organizations who materially contributed to the production of the book by their patience and cooperation, and to all the commercial firms who have had a part in building this book. SCHOOL SONG Ottumwa High will always be our school, For we love her true, we do, Well sing for her, we'll yell for her, And, my, what we wont do! We'll put her on the map, And see that she's just pat. For we love her true, we do. Chorus: North-side, South-side, all around the town, We'll all join in together to root for O. H. S. Football, basketball, every kind of sport, We'll cheer them on to victory For dear old O. H. S. Rah! Rah! Rah! for Ottumwa. Page 3 administration Standing: Mr. David Jay, Mr. Royce Carroll, Rev. Donald Gill, Mr. Leslie Thompson, Mr. Leighton Smith. Seated: Mr. Dick Schlegel, Mrs. Martin O'Hara, Mr. Joe Ferguson. Mrs. Ben Ravitz, Mr. Frank Douma. BOARD OF EDUCATION MR. DOUMA Consisting of seven citizens who give of their time and talents, the Ottumwa Board of Education is continually working for the betterment of our school system. It is the responsibility of the Board members, who are elected for terms of three years each, to formulate the policies for the Ottumwa School system and to see that the youth of this ara receive the best education possible. By use of the authority to manage all finances of the district, to elect teachers, provide supplies, purchase sites and build schools, and make any rules and regulations it deems necessary, this group has enabled our schools to maintain a high place in education throughout the nation. We should be very grate- ful to these civic minded people whose untiring efforts have given us this splendid school that is ours in Ottumwa.

JAMES, Student Council Advisor We. the students of the Ottumwa High School owe the Student Council a vote of thanks for the many services which they have performed for us of the student body and for the community in which we live. One of their worthwhile projects was their JAIL which they erected in the cafeteria. Teachers were kept from eating their lunch by students paying 50c a minute to keep them in jail. In this way they collected $76.79 for the March of Dimes. When the late Mrs. Bottorff passed away they col- lected $100.00 for a memorial to be put in the cafeteria. It was also the Student Council who made it possible for us to have our Red, White Days” and to have the privilege of ringing the victory bell. Who me? Another case for Sherlock The Lonely Hearts Club getting new members I think we can beat the wheel by this formula Page 18 In Memoriam A memorial has been established in memory of the late Mrs. Marie Bottorff who served as staff manager of our cafe- teria for the past 25 years. Mrs. Bottorff began her day at 5:00 a. m. and seldom ended it before 3 p. m. She also willingly spent extra time preparing special meals for ath- letes and students under medical prescription. I'm sure we appreciate all the work she has contributed in making Ottumwa High School's cafeteria one of the most efficient in the state of Iowa. Page 19 Page 21 CLASS OF 1959 DICK CHRISTY President BILL SCHWARTZ Vice President We. the Senior Class of 1959, have climbed up another rung on our educational ladder of success. What has been recorded in our three years at O.H.S. can never be changed. We can never go back and live them over again. But we can mold our future into a life of happiness. MARY LOU FINDLAY All of us want to thank Mrs. Barker for the many tasks she has so wonderfully undertaken this Treasurer last year. She has spent long hours selling many articles. We are glad she was our class sponsor, for she has been priceless. As we journey on toward our shining goals we will sometimes look back on these years and long to be once again just a happy and carefree student of this graduating class. Many have been the good times we have had in the halls and classrooms, and how our joy has over- flowed. But we have also had solemn moments of sweet sorrow . Whatever the memories may be, we will cherish them as though they were precious jewels. The Argus Annual Staff wishes to apologize to CHARLES VIVIAN for the typographical error.

MISS KLODT In our two years here at OHS. we the class of 1960. have striven to increase our knowledge of the world we live in that we may. in some way, be better citizens. We have participated in every activity for the betterment of our school. To be students that OHS can be proud of in every way has been one of our main goals. Most of the credit for our achievements must go to our teachers who have been so helpful and patient. We hope to see them again next year. Now that our Junior Year is over, we are rounding the turn that leads to the last stretch of our school days. We have come through eleven years of school with flying colors and we now feel we are ready to step into the role of upperclassmen, to be the leaders of OHS. and to prove our motto. Fame and Honor is our Cheer.” Page 41 JUNIORS Row 1: Connie Jo Barker, Jeanne Anderson, JoAnne Anderson, Mary Jane Anderson, Linda Burke, Connie Bailey, Mary Akerson, Barbara Amosson, Connie Bankson.

Sponsor As sophomores entering Ottumwa High School we were filled with expectations and aspirations. Under the helpful guidance of our advisors and counselors we soon became acquainted with the building, which at first seemed so big and strange. A year of new experiences and new friendships has gone by and we have found ourselves adjusted to our new surroundings. Memories both happy and sad, have filled our sophomore year. We look forward to our junior year, our growing responsibilities, and all the things that are in store for us. However, we will never forget our first days at OHS. A record has now begun which we hope, will be one of which our school may be justly proud. Page 51 SOPHOMORES Row 1: Pamela Barden. Sandra Ballard. Judy Anderson. Linda Aubrey. Ruby Anderson.

Also on the agenda for the year were bake sales, bean suppers, and a used furni- ture sale. Everyone in the Senior Y-Teens would like to thank the sponsor Beverly “Chub” Winkle- man for making this year a most enjoyable one. PROJECTIONISTS Every student has at some time enjoyed movies in the classroom, but not all the students realize the work behind these. The members of this club spend many hours and much hard work in taking care of the projectors and showing the films. It involves a thorough knowledge of all machines used in the building. Our Projectionists Club is under the excellent direction of Mr. Pence. A hearty thank-you to all the faithful projectionists and to their sponsor. Seated: Bob Phipps, Dave Ash.

Where-ever school spirit is found, you will be sure to find the pep club. Many worthwhile activities are sponsored by this active O.H.S. group, such as the King of Hearts dance, mum sell for the homcoming, and several out of town games were attended. During the 1958 and 1959 year the Pep Club had over 150 members, and there’s always room for more! The Pep Club, sponsored by Mr. Kramer, has become more active this year and next years' teams will find this snappy, happy group behind them in all athletic contests.

During the year you have at some time or other been helped by a member of the ushers club. A subdivision of the dramatic club, this club is also under the direction of Mrs. Nichols. This year. Sharon Rose is the head usher. Distributing programs, escorting people to reserved seats at special programs, school plays, and sports events are their mam duties. A friendly usher can make a person enjoy a program just as an unfriendly usher could spoil the event, so courtesy and friendliness are natural belonging to an usher of the Ottumwa High School. Ushering at baccalaureate and graduation excercises are a final climax to their year. Row 1: Cindy Clark, Judy Young.

Other important events of the year included: a trip to an Iowa City Clinic on April 4. with the Cedar Rapids and Davenport Orchestras, the State Band and Orchestra Contest in Centerville on May 2. and the annual Tri-City Festival on May 15 and 16.

ART CLUB Under the able leadership of Mr. Kriewanek. the new art teacher, the Art Club has increased its membership from 5 to approximately 30. The goal of this group is to attain a better understanding and appreciation for art. Through- out the year the members have helped other organizations. Assisting the staff of the Argus Annual in decorating for the Homecoming Dance, making posters and scenery for the Dramatic Club, posters for the Speech Club, and the making of toys for children at Christmas time are some of their accomplishments. Also this group decorated the school bulletin boards during the year. Row 1: Margaret Celania, Maxine Conner. Carolee Johnson, Linda Crowell.

Marching and Symphonic Band of 1959! Having Mr. Zahn and Mr. Yungclas as our instructors, the marching baud marched through fair and foul weather for home football games and even managed to produce a small but efficient pep band for out-of-town games. The band, having been to marching contests in previous years, decided to perform again in this field at Fairfield. This year again our band came through with a superior rating. A first place trophy was also awarded the band for performing in an American Legion parade at Chariton on October 20. After our vigorous exercising for marching, we settled down into working steadily for two concerts held on January 23 for the Student Concert Series and March 16 which' was the annual Spring Concert. Next on the agenda was the Tri-City Concert held in Davenport on May 15 and 16. All in all, this year of ’58—’59 was thought by all concerned to be very suc- cessful. CADET BAND Row 1: Cheryl Haines.

This club is largely for social activities, but a much better understanding of our Spanish-speaking neighbors, has been gained through it. Several of the monthly meetings were held in cooperation with the Spanish- speaking students of Ottumwa Heights College. At those meetings the club members had a chance to put their Spanish to practical use. Mr. Lawrence Hamley. who was an exchange teacher to Cuba last year, is the sponsor.

The girls sign up at the beginning of the year then later have a formal initiation tea. Meetings arc held every first and third Monday of the month, but the girls work voluntarily at the Ottumwa and St. Joseph Hospitals two hours a week. The girls receive pins and letters by earning points which are given for working on committees, such as bake sales, giving book reports about the field of nursing, working at the hospital, and bring- ing a new member who attends three consecutive meetings. During this year, the girls had bake sales, went Christmas caroling, made scrapbooks for the hos- pitals. and made a trip to Des Moines over the Easter vacation. Row 1: Judy Sinclair.

O” Club set up the OHS motto; All For One, One For All and All for Ottum- wa High. We also hope to run off the Ottumwa Relay each year. This year “O” Club held the first all school dance. Our main future plan is to create more school enthusiasm and help build up sports in OHS. 0 CLUB Dick Christy Secretary Seated: Gary Edmondson, Jerry Bean, Bill Schwartz. Dick Christy. Jerry Staton.

Bill Shoemaker. For the second season in a row. Coach Dale Harris again tried to push the OHS Bulldogs forward to victory. After many long hours of vigorous practice and rugged calisthentics. the team was again ready for a big season. The record for the 1958 football season included 2 wins and 7 losses. Both wins were over Keo- kuk. Although Mr. Harris did not produce a winning team we were all very proud of our Bulldogs. Due to a chronic illness Coach Harris will not bo with us again next year. We’re sure that every- one hated to see him leave but would like to wish him all the luck in the world at his new job.

BASKETBALL Under the cagey coaching of our new hep coach Bill 'The Brain” Christensen, the real cool five of OHS made a real bang this year under the basket. The cool five had the other teams all shook up by their excellent handling of the ball. We of OHS want to see (and will see) the crazy cagers go to state. Just remember when OHS comes home with all honors it was the sweat and hard work of the real hep cat Bill Christensen and the crazy cool five!

S. FIN MEN This year, under the coaching of Bill Shumaker, the Ottumwa High School swimming team finished the season with an excellent record. In dual meet competition, the bulldog tankers lost only once which was to Muscatine. At the district meet at East High in Des Moines. Ottumwa placed third, qualifying five swimmers for state competition. In the state meet with 13 teams competing, these five swimmers tied with Muscatine for third place. The swimmers certainly deserve our congratula- tions and thanks for their wonderful record and for their help in boosting the name of Ottumwa High. Ottumwa 49 North D. M. 37 Ottumwa 49 Lincoln D.

SHARK CLUB Each year the Shark Club presents to the public a swimming pageant, consisting of both swimming and floating routines. Although the change in school hours and the new physical system were a handicap to the club, it again presented an excellent pageant entitled Swimming in Swingtime . It was very enjoyable to all that attended. The officers this year are: president. Modrea Maurer; vice-president, Marcia Wolfe; secretary, Carol Lunde; and treas- urer, Joy Cassill. The sponsor is Mrs. Bard. SWIMMIN' IN SWINGTIME CHEER Connie Larson. Carol Wing. Cindy Clark. Judy Murphy. “What outfits shall we wear tonight?” Don't you think we need to practice?” I sure hope we win!” But we haven’t got a way to the game! These are just a few of the things we cheerleaders talk about during the football and basketball seasons. And to us, they’re very important. We want to look as nice as possible and cheer as well as we can so we can best represent the school and you students. One of our perennial headaches is getting to the games. We were lucky this year, tho. Thanks to our parents, the parents of you students and other Bulldog boosters, we had a ride to every game. Nothing is more discouraging to us. and probably the team, than to have the students not behind the team and not excited about a game. We haven't had much trouble in this field, either. It was really great to cheer in front of students who were as enthusiastic as all of you this year. Let’s keep up this spirit next year. Jill Chambers, Mary Reed, Terry Swaim, Cindy Guest. LEADERS 0. H. S. MATMEN The Ottumwa High wrestling squad has had its share of tough breaks this year. Coach Magrane worked hard with his wrestlers helping them gain experience and the true fighting Bulldog spirit. This year being only the fifth year that wrestling has been included in the sports department we feel the squad has done fairly well. Two of the most outstanding of the Senior wrestlers were Doug Robertson and Bill Schwartz.
