DR. WAGNER'S MESSAGE

[6]

The spirit of those responsible for the de-

velopment of this annual is typically American.

The members of the editorial and business staffs

have set about with incisive directness to do a

good job. Graduating during a year which had

imposed crucial world problems upon us all,

they have, with their classmates, accepted be-

yond -normal responsibilities , at the same time

maintaining with solid balance an understand-

ing of the importance of doing their routine

school work well. This has been their " spring

offensive" on the home front . Let it be known

that their capabilities were equal to their prob-

lems.

FACULTY

FACULTY

Top: C. L. Jackson , Myrtle Stone, Margaret Divelbcss, Mae Ruppel. Bottom : Rose Hanson , Ernestine Smith , Ruth Mooers , N. 0. Schneider .

Our faculty are friends of ours. After school parties-following each assembly or program-upon attainment of any individual honor-our teachers are the first to offer congratulations. This spontaneous interest is greatly appreciated, especially since we realize how varied and nu-merous their duties are .

For example, Mr. Jackson not only serves as our principal, but solves many common-place mysteries for us in his physics class.

Our home-room centers about our th !ee class leaders, who direct our class activities, and specialize in fie'.ds of their own. Miss Stone, senior sponsor, g:ves commercially-minded stu-dents a start in shor thand and typing, while versatile Miss Divelbes,s, whose plays, recitals , and English classes will be long remembered, acts as junior sponsor. Our authority on French

[8]

and Latin, capable ·Mis.s Struble, 1s also sopho-more sponsor.

Debate is Mr. Bra's special sideline. Spon-soring Hi-Y and teaching economics and sociolo-gy fill the remainder of his time.

Miss Tucker and Miss Smith both stimulate our interest in the past and acquaint us with other countries. Movies on South America help make us "good neighbors," and the social science laboratory keeps us well-informed.

The field of " plus and minus" is under the keen eye of Miss Kearney , and no problem in geometry or algebra can baffle her.

We have Mr. Bliese to thank for both our fire drills and our up-and-coming biology de-partment. He does everything from feeding snakes to sounding the fire alarm.

FACULTY

Top : D ora Kea rney, M arguiret te Struble, Minnie Starr, M ary Caldwell . Bottom : John Bliese, E lva Tucker, C. T aylor Whittier, Jeam H o rgan, Edwi n Bro.

French seams and good food are Miss Hanson's specialties. In the new kitchen units and dining-room furnishings , the home eco-nomics classes learn many useful things.

When she isn ' t busy with headlines and deadlines, Miss Horgan finds time to teach history , aid the annual staff , and keep her eye on G-R activities as sponsor of that group.

Miss Ruppel makes certain good health is not neglected by maintaining a vigorous pro-gram of gym classes and intramurals for the girls.

Looking after masculine well -being is Mr. Schneider, who has industrial arts , safety driv-tng, and competitive sports as his responsibili-ties.

[9]

Many branches of our music department have received special notice this year due to Miss Starr's constant effort and her practice teach-ers ' help.

Energetic, good-natured Miss Mooers teach-es her art students to make everything from paintin:gs to puppets.

The freshman class is being well prepared for their entrance into Senior High by Miss Caldwell, and Mr. Whittier is doing his part by teaching home arts and taking charge of noon hour.

Our faculty 's varied activities , however, would not have impressed us so deeply if these a,ctivities had not been accompanied by a sin -cere attempt to make our school years rich and memorable.

MISS ERMA PLAEHN

The pleasure of antmpating Miss Plaehn 's return is now in the hands of the lower classmen, but the memory of her sparkling character will be hard for any senior to forget.

Miss Plaehn 's friendly , winning personality and never tiring generosity for helping others makes us realize the faith we have in her is not misplaced . Her keen sense of humor enters into everything she does . She is, indeed , an outdoor person who likes hikes , picnics, bicycling, and travel. Best of all she shares her experiences with her students. Probably her favorite hobby is that of taking pictures. She has shown her classes reels of beautifully colored movies of her many trips and of their own activities.

A staunch supporter of the high school team is Miss Plaehn . Her love for sports and her fine sportsmanship enriches even more her fine character. The wish foremost in the mind of every student and teacher is that she will soon be able to return.

S(NIOR CLASS When we entered Junior High, it seemed as

We are the Senior class of 1942 . lt hardly seem possible that we have accomplished the twelve years of school work necessary for gradu-ation. Why, it was only yesterday that we came ,nd b,g,n to leatn th< complicated business of b,ing. ls it te>llY p0ssibk th" we bav< solved th< mysteries of reading , writing and acitbmetkl

floor. There were more and more activities out-

side the classroom to keep us busy-athletics,

clubs, and parties. It was during this year that

we took part in " Freedom 's Light, " a pageant

representing democracy in every walk of life.

The mxt year we felt important as we

found ourselves in the senior study hall. We

then took part in " The Bohemian Girl," the

operetta presented on the nights of December

sixteenth and seventeenth. On the night of

Tuesday, February twenty-fifth , the Junior

class presented "Don't Darken My Door," a

comedy in three acts . The other high spot of

the year was the Junior-Senior Banquet at the

Women 's Club house. In the spirit of Robin

Hood 's forest , we entertained teachers and senior

class members on April nineteenth. Dancing,

following a short program and dinner, provid -

ed a pleasant eveninig, of entertainment. With

three years of high school behind us , we dis-

covered we were ready to embark on the last

year of our " care-free " school days.

With only nine months lying before us un-

til graduation, our Senior class discovered that

there were many things to be done. Rings,

pictures, announcements were all to be decided.

There was the job of producing an annual

under senior leadership. Duties of club manage-

ment also fell upon members of our dass. A number of football and basketball players were

lost to the school when they played their last

games.

In spite of all the demands on time, mem-bers of our class found time to gain recognition

outside. Our president, Gordon Hansen, won

honors at a speaking contest held in Des Moines.

He won first place, which consisted of a radio

hearing and a trip to Minneapolis as well as a

cash prize. Another class officer, the secretary,

Nancy Price, had her original poetry printed in

" Scholastic" and read on the air.

Our class had diffi::ulty in gettin,g together

for parties. We finally had a skating party at

the Women 's Gymnasium on January twenty-

fourth . We invited the Junior class to share in

the fun . Ping-pong, as well as feature skates,

provided entertainment, and hamburgers fol-

lowed.

The senior play and the banquet both took

place in the first part of May, and ended our

social activities. In caps and gowns we entered

the college auditorium for the baccalaurete ser-

vices led by Rev. Gerald Knoff . Music by the

college choir helped make the occasion one to

be remembered . Only the last formal exercises,

at which friends and relatives offered their con-

gratulations, remained ... and so we left to

seek separate paths of life.

JUNIOR CLASS

All-aboard ! All-aboard! All-aboard for the Junior Special. Thirty-six cars going down the rails. Thirty-six cars heading down the track. Rolling down the track. Puffing up the g,rade and - Tuxedo Junction just ahead!

That 's the way it happened , but it wasn't so easy-or so fast. We came back from Colo-rado, Minnesota, and home. Back to school! It was fun to get back and see the new hair-dos of the girls ; to realize that the boys were finally getting taller than the female of the species and that when we danced we wouldn't feel like Tillie and Mac.

We filled out our registration cards, got our books, and went to classes. After school the

Junior Class could be seen manning the foot-ball team , playing in the orchestra, and a good many drivers were turned loose upon an un-suspecting public. Then we had our first class party, a scavenger hunt , and all manner of things were brou,ght in , from Coca-Cola signs to rabbit-tails .

By the beginning of the spring term all talk and thought were directed toward the Junior-Senior banquet, and finally it was de-cided to have a night club for the theme. We called it " Tuxedo Junction. "

Yes, it's the end of the line for the Junior Special, and it's been fun-every bit of it.

The sophomore class of 1941-42 has prov-

en itself a cooperative and energetic group by

taking a major part in the school activities.

Under the supervision of our room teacher, Miss

Struble, we have had many good times and

plan to have many more.

Many of the sophomore class members have

enthusiastically entered into football, basket-

ball , track, tennis , golf, and also good-natured-

ly pinched their pockets in order to buy United

States Defense Stamps and Bonds even to the

extent of one hundred dollar, fifty dollar, and

twenty-five dollar bonds.

The first of the plays which came m the

fall , So Early in the Morning , and I Know Geocge \Vashington , were entered into by a few

sophomore members . For the Christmas pro-

gram the students in the sophomore class pre-

sented, How Come Chcistmas. The play was

handled very nicely by both the cast and the

stage crew.

[22]

SOPHOMORE CLASS In the fall two boys, Douglas Palmer and

Fred Erbe, from the sophomore class represent -ed the Hi-Y at the Eastern District Hi-Y con-vention , which was held at Dubuque, Iowa . This proved to be an interesting and enlight-ening experience.

The sophomore dass has had one class party where the sophomore boys soon over-came their shyness and danced with the sopho-more belles. It was evident that both boys and girls had profited from the dancing steps taught them by Miss Ruppel previous to the party. Miss Ruppel also taught the class folk dances which were enjoyed by all. Some games were

played and then the refreshments were served which finished the already successful evening in fine style.

Sophomore students form a major part of the school band , and are rapidly improving under the supervision of their student instruc-tor, Mr. Jochumsen. One of the sophomore members, Lester Bundy, has started a swing band , which has made welcome appearances at " rec" dancing and school parties.

Although it took the sophomores a while to get adjusted to high school. they are now a rapidly improving class and worthy of being sophomores.

Fifth Row: Charlotte Runyon , Jack Folsom, Merna McCann (V. Pres.) , Paul Sires (Pres.), Patricia Plumber (Sec'y.), Lorraine Johnson, Roger Syndergard.

The most important activities which held the attention of the freshmen this year were the basketball squads and a class par•ty. Besides these things were the electing of class officers, a Halloween party, and an ice-skating party.

Junior High basketball is the main organ-ized basketball squad for which freshmen may go out. The freshmen who saw action on the Junior High basketball front were Jack Folsom , Hugh Haferkamp, Paul Sires, George Stevens, and Bob Troy. The Junior High Basketball team played a total of nine games, and Russell Bradford was their coach this year.

Another activity carried on by the fresh-men was a party. At a meeting of the class of-ficers it was decided that the refreshments would be taffied apples and pop corn, and money was obtained from the activity fund. The party last-ed from seven o'clock until nine o 'clock. The refreshments were served at eight-fifteen, and the entertainment consisted of dancing. Every one had fun and the party was a success.

This year will be remembered as one of our most interesting years because Miss Smith , who has visited in South Ameri,ca , told us of her many experiences, and it was our first step in high school.

DEFENSE COUNCIL

I'm Sue. That streak that just slammed the door was Brother Bill , off to team practice. He's a junior and I'm a senior, and we both yell for TCHS at the games. We're always- but I'm supposed to tell you about the super Defense Council our school's had this year-not my family 's vital statistics.

Natalie Tinsley and the members worked themselves red , white, and blue, made money, did swell things, and boosted morale. The Red Cross was helped with all kinds of sales-homemade Christmas wreaths, boxes of greeting cards , candy and soft drinks at athletic events, and the ever-profitable Bake Sale. Old maga -zines came piling in from every direction on our •·old paper" days, and the money from these was added to the Defense Council's funds. Defense stamps were in the DC's line of duty too, and they made us penny-wise all right ! Lots of money we would have chewed up in gum went to cheer up our fightin ' forces . The Council had assemblies too , on everything from vitamins to victory. Conservation was in style all over the school, till I couldn't leave a light burning or waste a scrap of paper without feel -ing like a bottleneck.

When school let out at noon and in the afternoon , the light wardens on each floor would have all the lights out before you had time to leave your seat in the mad dash for

home. Posters and placards blossomed suddenly under paper towel racks and in the halls. All tbe best people bounded around on foot . It was patriotic plus, and cars were left for lilies. Walk-ing's good and good for you. Talking about health- the Defense Council 's Secretary of Health planned the three-hour-per-week Phys-ical Ed. program and got it rolling strong.

Firedrills , like Jack-in -the-boxes , popped out unexpectedly every now and then. The Council perfected an efficient plan, and no one fell downstairs or was stampeded under. You never knew when the eight bell signal would be-gin to ring. Sometimes it would be in the mid-dle of a Latin verb conjugation , sometimes just as a physics experiment was ready to blow up or fizzle out , and sometimes-0 happy day-in the middle of a test. I'd like to see a pie around the Alma Mater that the DC didn't have a finger in ! The soldier alums came in £,or boxes of cookies , gifts, letters, and even copies of this annual- from those in camp to those " Some-where at sea."

If the Germans have a Fifth Column, the U . S. will find an invincible Sixth in just such organizations as our Defense Council. As Mr. Wagner says--"Together we may face our enemies without fear. Together we will wm the victory. "

LITTLE TUTOR CLUB

The Little Tutor Club is supposed to be the heartbeat of the student body, but if you asked for my candid opinion , I'd say they were more on the hep-beat side . . . with all the " wreck" dancin ' they 've had this year ! If you heard stompin' and whompin ' down in the gym at 3: 30 you could be sure it was the Little Tutor festivities gettin ' in the groove ! Sometimes the dances were held at night with a slight charge at the door, and sometimes they were just a get-together after school -hours. Twice the GR chip-ped in and sold hunks of candy to the starving public. A hasty "Rec dancing tonite" on the blackboard meant lots of fun for everyone.

The little-but-important jobs seemed to come Little Tutor Club way this year. First it

was the making of Christmas wreaths to boost the Defense Council funds. At snowball time the air was white with flying missiles till people began to get hurt. Then the Club had an assembly and the s~hool soon brought the sport under control.

School parties are always under Little Tutor Club supervision , and this year brought some very fun -ful ones. The gym was packed at ev-ery one, with the whole school getting together for a good time.

The Little Tutor Club is a cross section of high school life with a voice in the government of TCHS. To this organization we owe a closer and fr :endlier understanding between those who teach and those who learn.

GIRL RESERVE HI-Y

Reserves we certainly are-reserves of ener-gy. And although we haven 't used as much pep as we might have during this last year, we've done some worthwhile things. Miss Spooner was one of our first speakers, and she spoke on Eti-quette for High School Girls . Our Christmas meeting in the Home Ee. dining-room was a fun-filled tea, complete with eats and a program. At Eastertime we cooperated with the Hi -Y 's in an assembly, and attended the first college morning

Hi-Y Cabinet

G. R. Cabinet

Hi-Y is certainly a good name, 'cause this club has surely been in high this year. An as-sembly on the facts and rules of football-the homecoming party- the idea of having an an-nual and the build-up they gave it- the direc-tion of the boys ' intramural basketball tourna-ment as an annual tradition- these are just a few of the Hi-Y -lights of the past year. Bill came home almost every night with something to tell. If Bill wasn 't swimming at the Waterloo Y, he was at the induction services, or going to

chapel service together .

Our greatest undertaking of the Fall term was the big GR conference we played hostess to in October. The girls poured in from all the big Iowa cities and towns. It meant gobs of "elbow grease" for everyone, Jane Lindley as prexy especially , but it was a big success. Ingrid Lille-hei, a junior, was voted conference prexy for next year, and weren't we proud !

Hi -Y Induction

Announcers Get Y our Candy Here

a church service, or hearing a talk by Dr. Durfee or Miss Spooner, or printing programs and an-nouncing over the address system at games. The spring term theme was " Vocations" and apti-tude tests, a speech by Dr. Douglas, and an in-crease in "Saturday jobbers" among the Hi-Ys were the main features. " To create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and com-munity high standards of Christian character" is the slcgan of the high-fying Y's and seems to me they 've deserved it!

NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY

I s'pose at first squint people might think anybody who rated the NHS was the horn-rim-med glasses , prim, prune, and priggish type. But let me tell you that this year's group 1s simply the super-cream of the crop!

Since the Senior class this year has thirty-six students in it, the top twenty-five percent would be the first nine having the highest schol-astic ability. These nine are voted upon by their teachers in the three key fields of character, ser-vice, and leadership. The six receiving highest credit represent the class in the National Honor Society as the fifteen percent of the class having the most promise.

With all these highjumps to hurdle, you can see that these fellows and girls are no apple-polishers. Bill says that they could be chalked high in popularity as well as the four key fields. Certainly all their classmates know they deserve

the NHS and all that it means.

The history of TCHS's branch of the So-ciety is interesting to know. Ours is the Alpha chapter, the first chapter to be granted in Iowa. This year is its twentieth anniversary. It would be fun to trace the previous members back through these years and discover how many of these fellows and girls made names for them-selves and fulfilled the promise they showed in their senior year at TCHS. We're looking for-ward to the initiation which will take place soon. There will also be a formal and an in-formal banquet given by the old members for the new.

Everybody is glad that Margaret , Natalie, Jack, John, Gordon , and Boyd are standing for this year's grads. We say " Hats Off" to these half-dozen who are ready for big things and who have what it takes to take over.

ATHLETIC SCHOLARSHIP SOCIETY

Don't quote me on this-but really-these fellas are cookin' with gas! They're what you call athletes and musclemen and all those ten-dollar words for brawn. Course, I don't want to bally-hoo, so I'll just add that what they haven 't got isn't much !

According to Bill, it 's quite a thing to get on the inside of N. A. S. S. You can't just have oomph when it comes to sports-you've got to have some mind when it comes to classes. If you really want the particulars-ask the man who owns one like I did. I found out that you 've got to sport a letter, shine out in citizen-ship and sportsmanship, and be above average in scholarship to be in the running.

The history of the N. A. S. S. is worth mentioning, 'cause hardly anybody knows all the details . This association was started by the American Association of Secondary School Prin-

Second Row : C. L. Jack-son (Sponsor), Don Reeve, Carl Birchard , Eoyd Mast.

cipals in 1926, and T. C. H. S. received the one hundred and twenty-ninth chapter in 1927. Over fifteen hundred secondary schools have organized branches representing every state in the Union. The primary purpose of the organi-zation is " to raise the standard of scholarship among athletes in secondary schools."

Sometimes lucky juniors crash the Society before their senior year. In 1941 Don and Boyd made the grade, and this year Russ Brown and Vern Sires can sport their keys along with the graduating senior fellas. Vern and Russ must feel pretty snazzy being right up there a year ahead of time !

I'm kinda' breathless ( with admiration) by this time , but if you want to ring up fifteen for this team I' 11 cheer right along. Cause they cer-tainly rate it !

LITTLE TUTOR STAFF

The annual staff of 1942 has

worked early and late-in school

and out-to present to the student

body an annual worthy of their

school. The staff is proud of their

book and hopes the student body

will feel the same.

An endeavor was made to have

more pictures and student-life fea-

tures in the 1942 Little Tutor

than ever before. The cooperation

of the student body as salesmen,

the faculty as advisors, and the

hard work of the coordinators

made it possible to reach this goal.

The staff thanks the students

and the faculty and sincerely hopes

they receive as many hours of en-

joyment from t.he annual as we

have had working on it.

Last fall Coach Schneider turned his thoughts to making a successful football team, and it turned out to be the best one he has had for many years.

After being organized T. C. met Univer-sity High and won, 20 to 6 ! In the next two games they were defeated ; but Coach Schneider reorganized the team and put them through numerous scrimmages with the college theory squads. This toughened the Little Tutors, en-abling them to go through the rest of the sea-son with four straight wins and a tie with their Down Town rivals. The team's last three games came within a twelve day period, showing that the boys "can take it !"

For the achievements the team made, we can find a good example by looking back at the T. C.-C. F. game where the Little Tutors pushed across two quick touchdowns and then were able

to stave off C. F.'s second-half threats to com out with a tie. The greatest feat in this gam was the gallant stand of the Little Tuto against Cedar Falls on our one and one-ha foot line, where we held them four downs.

This successful season enabled Teacher' High to tie for second place in the Iowa Ce League. Eugene Eddy and Carl Birchard we given positions on the League football team f the second successive year.

Eugene Eddy was also named by his tea mates the most valuable man in the sport f the second year. Carl Birchard and Eugene Edd were elected Honorary Co-Captains. Other Let termen were Donald Reeve, Boyd Mast, Clint Jefferson, Bill Ritchey, John Wilcox, Nanke, Jim Denny, Dan Brown, Vern Sir and Russ Brown.

BASKETBALL The Teacher's High basketball team, composed mostly of

lettermen, opened the season by defeating New Hartford 23-22, but then the boys hit a slump to the end of 1941. Beginning the new year, the Campus school found their fighting spirit once more, and downed both Traer and Independence.

The trip to Iowa City to play University High was high-lighted by seeing the Iowa-Chicago game. During their game, the College Hill Boys fought hard against their tall opponents, losing out in the final minute 27-26.

Entering the Sectional tournament, they encountered Wa-

verly. The first half ended 12-12. A fatal third quarter again struck the Little Tutors ; they were outscored in this period . Not wanting to be defeated, the team fought back courageously, knotting the score 27 all ! However, Waverly spurted ahead, winning 29-35.

Eugene Eddy was elected by his teammates as the most out-standing player and Don Reeve was elected Honorary Captain. Other letter winners were Mast, R. Brown, Birchard, Nielsen, LeVine, Denny, and D . Brown.

The 1942 track team brings the following lettermen back : Eddy, Mast, D. Brown, and Reeve. Other boys rounding out the squad are Bundy, Pierce, Ottman, Pipho, Brock , Boggess, Palmer, W. Walters , Birchard , Immerzeel, Tinkey, and L. Niel -sen.

The golf squad this year is fortunate in not losing any of last year's players. Leading the group is Jim Denny, medalist for the last two years in the Iowa Cedar League. Completing the squad are R . Brown , Benton , Porter, Erbe, and Anderson , who look forward to winning the Iowa Cedar League championship this year.

The tennis squad is composed of Ritchey, Dickinson, Reeve, Le Vine, Reninger , Austin, Messier, and Steffen .

As the annual goes to press before the spring sports are com-pleted, we can only hope they have the best of seasons.

March 2 will be remembered as a "red-letter

day" in the school year of 1941-42; for it was

March 2 that the Junior class presented their

play, '•Girl Medicine." The amusing comedy

centered around the imaginary ills of Mrs. Leff-

ingwell and their remedy- "girl medicine."

Spicy dialogue, touches of romance, exciting

suspense, and smoothness of production, all add-

ed up to make a delightful play. Miss Divel-

bess and her assistants, as well as the cast and

production crew should be congratulated on

their fine work .

three-act comedy, "Napoleon , Junior." 1 play was presented on May 12 by the abo cast.

The play is the story of an average Ame

can family and an amazing incident that chang their lives. Henderson Ruggles , a living "Cas

teresting play.

I HEAR AMERICA SINGING

" I Hear America Singing, " was written by

George Kleinsinger, whose music includes every-

thing from opera to swing. The cantata is

based on excerpts from the single poem of the

same name, and on Walt Whitman's " Leaves

of Grass." The theme of the cantata tells of

liberty and equality, lakes and wheat fields , and

brings out \Vhitman 's love for men and women

everywhere.

An evening performance of " I Hear Ameri-

ca Singing, " was presented in Gilchrist Chapel

by the choral and orchestral groups of T. C. H. S.

Opening the recital , the orchestra present-

ed the " Hungarian Dance ," by Brahms, and

" Bouree," by Bach. Marianne Rosenberger 's

clarinet selection, " Solo de Concourd ," was fol -

lowed by the T . C. H . S. string quartet , com-

posed of Ingrid Lillehei , Charlene Woolverton,

(43]

Elisabeth Smith, and Donagene Runft. This group was organized several years ago by the

girls , and through various appearances has gain -

ed recognition . The Junior High School choir

then sang " God of Our Fathers, " and " Hymns

of the Nations ," after which Ewald Damgaard,

displaying a talent formerly concealed, sang,

" Oh Beautiful My Country," by Watson .

Setting the mood for the second half of the

program, Betty Cram read a selection from Walt

Whitman's collection of poetry, " Come Up

From the Fields, Father. "

The spirit of America that Whitman por-

trayed in his writings was well interpreted by

the manner in which the cantata was presented.

Clinton Jefferson, as reader , furnished a force -

full back-ground for the stirring music render-

ed by the Senior High mixed chorus, with

Eugene Le Vine and Jack Charter as soloists.

Music at T. C. H. S. has undergone numer-ous im prov em en ts this year. Several sections have been added or reorganized.

A new addition to our musical groups is a swing band. This group has been working hard and may become a source of real entertainment to students.

The high school band , organize::! two years ago, has been completely rejuvenated. Each member of the band is entitled to free instru-mental instruction by a college student under Mr. Russell, the college band instructor. The object of these lessons is to improve the tech-nique of each player, eventually improving the

MUSIC

entire band. This year the band performed at

several football games and took part in the " All

High School Band Festival. " Basketball games

also found the band there to give our players

support. It helped to create pep at numerous

assemblies, as well as displaying talent at two

band concerts.

Although about half the size of the band,

our orchestra has been very active. Besides play-

ing curtain music for plays and other programs,

it gave two concerts. Lorraine Anderson Boch

and William Jochumsen had charge of orchestra

and band, respectively, under the supervision of

Miss Starr.

Boys ' and girls' glee clubs have done a fine

piece of work- probably the most outstanding

feature being their combined effort in " I Hear

America Singing." From the glee clubs have

developed small singing groups, among them a

boys ' sextet, which has sung at various meet-

ings including P. T. A., A. A. U . W., G . R. Conference, and school assemblies.

Some of our high school students showed

their musical talent at the Pre-State contests

this spring. Those competing were: Donagene

Runft-piano solo, Lester Bundy-piano solo,

Dorothy Phillips-oboe solo, Marianne Rosen-

berger-clarinet solo, and they all came through

to win first places. They will continue on to

the State contest, where they will carry on their

fine records.

DEBATE A variety of coaches made this year's de-

bate team unique. Miss Plaehn, who was forced

to leave due to illness, was replaced by Mr.

Peterson . Another change was made when Mr.

Peterson accepted a position in Miami U. and

Mr. Bro took his place. The remainder and

most important part of the season was completed

with no further intenuption to the relief of the

debaters.

Meets attended were held at East Waterloo,

West Waterloo, Iowa State Teachers College,

and at Eldora. Negative positions were held by

Jack Francis, Margaret Robinson, Boyd Mast,

and Don Reeve; on the affirmative were John

Wilcox, Gordon Hansen, Clinton Jefferson, and

Gail Stoner. Various combinations of speakers

visited the tournaments and individual ratings

were high.

Finishing the season John Wilcox, Gordon

drove to Eldora for the official District Tourna-

ment and tied for second place-lacking two

points for top-ranking.

SPEECH

Second Row : Ingrid Lillchei, Margaret Robinson , Jane Austin , Charlene Woolverton , Patricia Plumber.

The field of declamatory and interpretive reading interests a number of students each year . To produce the desired results hard work and much time must be employed. These people be-lieve the benefits are worth it , however , and at-tack their speeches with eager anticipation of their own and other re.citals .

W e realized again this year we had some fine speakers in our midst when their appear-ances were made at P. T . A . and A . A. U. W. meetings, and home rooms.

Two trips were made by students in this work. The first was made to Traer in the win-ter term by Lester Bundy, Leonard Anderson, Elisabeth Smith, Donagene Runft and Miss Divelbess, who had selected these students as having done outstanding work in declam. The purpose of the trip was to observe the organiza -

tion of the contest with the possibilities in mind of TC's entrance next year.

Early in the spring term the other trip was made by Ingrid Lillehei and Charlene Woolver-ton , accompanied by Miss Divelbess. The girls entered the Forensic Meet at Iowa City. Ingrid received a rating of "Excellent" and gave her selection at the afternoon recital.

Some selections given were-

" White Cliffs of Dover" ____________ Ingrid Lillehei " The Light That Failed " __ Charlene Woolverton ''The Man \Vho Came to Dinner' ' ___________ _

______________________________________ Elisa beth Smith " The Miseries of Millicent" ________ Lester Bundy "Let's Keep the Ball " __________ Leonard Anderson " Back at Four" ___________________ Esther Mikkelsen "Junior's First Date" ____________________ Jane Austin ''The Bride's Difficulties' '_ Dorothy Lambertson
