THE
Senior’s Psalm of Life
Tell me not in mournful numbers
That this life has been a dream,
For the soul is dead that missed them
And things were not hard as they
seem.
Life is real, life is earnest,
And we’ve enjoyed it all,
Under Briggs, Van and Blosser
Not once did our interest pall.
From beginning till the end
We have worked and we have played,
We have lived that now—tomorrow
Finds us on the road we’ve made.
Lives of great men all remind us
We have one pathway to take,
So go back to Albia High School
To the training we’ve tried to
‘ ‘shake ’ ’.
Everything is useful to us,
Working through life’s solemn way,
Our studies, forensics, athletics,—
We’ll use them all some day.
We will then be up and doing
With a heart for all our fates,
Ne’er forgetting Albia High School
And each of our old classmates.

Junior Class History
After eight years of hard labor, the new model airship 1922 was finished. The trial flight
was soon to take place. We ascended at the Lincoln Hying field, and landed in the Andi
torinm of the A. H. S. We were much bewildered and dazed from our recent flight.
The plane proved successful, a.fter being examined by the head pilot Kies. He informed us
that we were to go on a long flight for four years, only stopping at places to change pilots.
take on passengers and take on provisions.
On September 10, 1918, we assembled at the auditorium ascension field. We were informed
that Hugh W. Lundy was to be our pilot. We were ordered to make a yearly report of the
chief events of the flight to the head pilot at Albia.
Wo finished our flight in May without many stops of interest. Our second flight was guided
by Miss Laura Duncan, John Ellis acting as assistant pilot. This flight proved very interest
ing because, at the end of the year the report showed that four of our passengers were mem
hers of the varsity football squad, one of which was acting captain of the team while another
received an A sweater for being the most consistent man on the team. Another passenger won
honors in the Declamatory Contest. Several passengers also took part in the Operetta.
The third flight, which we have not yet completed, being full of events, we were requested
to send semi-yearly reports. Miss Drollinger acted as pilot for this flight, assisted by
DeWayne Jenkins.
Several passengers were again members of the football squad, one claiming the honor of
being chosen captain-elect for the coming year. Two passengers were called back to fill places
on the basket ball varsity. Another class attempted to board our ship at Declam. and Debate
field but we showed more wind and talked them out of it.
We were urgently requested to return to our headquarters and make ready for the annual
banquet in honor of the Seniors. Upon landing we presented a play which proved successful
as well as profitable.

THE
Sophomore Class History
We, this most extraordinary and illustrious Class of ’23, in view of the fact that our
achievements throughout our uncompleted careers have never been chronicled and for the con-
venience of our admirers, in order that they may have no difficulty in recognizing our numerous
activities, and success in these same activities, we are listing them in full.
Considering first our athletic aspirations we find on looking up the records that as Freshmen
we succeeded to the extent that our basket ball girls humbled the mighty Sophomores to the
tune of 3-0. And as Sophomores we furnished our quota of varsity players on both boys and
girls teams.
Not to be considered one sided we wish to state that we contributed our share in the success
of the track team, and also took second place in the inter-class meet. In football we did more
than our share by furnishing six A men and furthermore we find that the team picked a Sopho-
more as Captain for 1921.
In Declamatory- we produced the winning orator over all, and also are able to boast one
member on the Debating Team. This does not cover the list of our activities but as the
remaining ones are of minor importance we shall abandon our efforts in the proof that we are
the greatest class that ever graced the halls of A. II. S.
As we are firm believers in the old adage that ‘‘What man has done, man can do,” we are
looking forward with great hopes for future success.

The Booster Club was organized under the faculty supervision
of Aliss Kies. Opal Smith, who was elected President, certainly
filled the bill to the letter.
During the entire year we backed up every school activity besides
filling the general fund.
A booster for Albia High was known anytime, anywhere, any
place, by his “pep”. That was the big word in our school life this
year, “P E P”
We had a candy sale to pay off a deficit left over from last year.
We also sold “eats” at the different football games.
We helped to finance many of the games and paid for the basket
ball boys’ new red trousers, by candy sales, again.
You might think it was all eats, but, no. We can entertain also.
If you don’t believe us, ask anyone who attended Booster Chapel,
in honor of the football men.
Our “Faculty Leader” had many more ideas to portray, but
Time beat us to it.
Here’s to next year’s Boosters,
Al ay they be as yay as roosters
And always do their work,
Saying, “Never, never shirk.’’

This club met every two weeks during the short
time of its existence in the first semester for the sake
of enjoyment and breaking the monotony of class
routine.
Snappy programs consisting of vaudevilles, human
magazines, picnics and a Christmas party added zest
and good feeling among the members.
Miss Kies has our vote of thanks for aiding us on
programmes and assisting in the entertainments.

sisted of reports in French, and resumes of lives of
great French authors. Refreshments were served

The Delta Chi Psi literary society was a revival of the former
Omega society of 1917, containing forty chosen scholars and ideal
students from the entire school whose last names commence from
IXL to Z, etc. Our advisors, Miss Pascoe and Miss Schilling, aided
the consuls in planning the programs. These consisted of debates,
solos, trios, and joke contests for which onions, potatoes, and such
were awarded. Once a month a social hour with excellent refresh-
ments was enjoyed.
Sigma Delta Phi
On October 28, 1920, Sigma Delta Phi Club was organized, under
the direction of Miss Van Brussel. Its membership was composed
of Junior and Senior Normal Training students. A meeting was
held every three weeks at which time interesting and worth-while
programs were given.
The subjects covered during the year included Art, Interior
Decoration, Christmas Spirit, Sanitation and Hygiene, Bird-Lore
and their connection with a “One Boom Rural School”.
At the close of each meeting a social time was enjoyed at which
time appropriate refreshments were served.
During the year the Club enjoyed the presence of Miss Harlow,
Miss Judson, and former Normal Training students at its various
club meetings.
The officers for the year were:

■When Blosser issued the call for all the science candidates, the
first of the year, all those interested in scientific research work
responded. .
You could tell they were interested, by the strange looks on their
faces. The reason for this curiosity was because this was the first
time anything of this nature had been started in our High School.
Their curiosity was soon relieved by the advisor telling them
what was expected. The nature of this work was the study of mod-
ern inventions and scientific subjects.
They elected officers and decided to meet every two weeks. They
also subscribed for several magazines, helpful in the work.

The Ophelian Glee Club was reorganized in September Nineteen
Hundred and Twenty with personnel of forty voices. It is com-
posed of students of Albia High School who are qualified for mem-
bership. This Glee Club has made an enviable record this year.
During the past year the girls have sung at the Declamatory, De-
bates, and chapel exercises. No small amount of praise is due to
the splendid work of Miss Brandenburg, the instructor.

Many boys responded when the call for Glee Club was given. Gut
ol the many applicants, the best were selected.
The Glee Club has been a marked success this year. Pcr
lormances at Home Declamatory Contest, the Pre-District <ont'st.
and Glee Club Chapel showed how well its talent had been pt 1
feeted by the skillful leadership of Miss Brandenburg.
Harold Avery-
As soon as school began the call was extended for Orchestra
members, and from the students who responded, eleven were ac-
cepted as members of the A. H. S. Orchestra. They were as fol-
lows: Piano, Harold Avery; Flute, DeWayne Jenkins; Cornets,
Loren Goodwin and Oscar Weber; Saxophone, Howard Branden-
burg; 1st Violin, Zeila McClure and Eugene Gay; 2nd Violin,
Marjorie Miller; Alto, James Morris; Baritone, Creola Morris;
Drums, Loren Butler.
Since the majority of these students were old members of the
Orchestra and had had experience they gave good music to the
audiences before which they played. As several of the students
are not of the class of ’21 the Orchestra should have as good talent
next year.
The success of the Orchestra was due to the very capable instruc-
tion of Miss Lucille Brandenburg, the High School Music Super-
visor.

The peppiest peppers that ever peppered pep are our own yell
leaders, Marie and Donald. Any place and anywhere a team went
you could find either or both of the leaders ready to boost for Albia
and to inform the other folks how badly they were going to be
beaten.
Alarie’s enthusiastic praying and Donald’s “acting” pep brought
us out on top of “oodles” of battles. Even when one contestant is
away from home working for honors for Albia he knows that our
yell leaders will keep up the old fight in every man at home.
Moreover at all ^athletic events when a man made a good play he
knew that through the efforts of Marie and Donald the crowd
would make a frenzied demonstration of their appreciation and he
would want to do even better next time.
Practice makes perfect and with Alarie’s two years of leadership
and Donald’s year, next year ought to be simply peppered with pep.

HOWARD BRANDENBURG
More than the usual amount of interest was shown this year in tlie Declama-
tory work. Eleven students competed in the contest, three in the Oratorical
class, four in the Dramatic, and four in the Humorous. Howard Brandenburg
was the Avinner over all. He was in the oratorical class and gave “The Death
Penalty”. A winner was picked from each class also. These people represented
Albia High in the Quadrangular Contest.
In the Oratorical class Burton Tarr received first place with “Regulus to the
Carthaginians” Katherine Howard, who read “The Music Master”, was first
*“ *he Dramatic class. Winifred Hixenbaugh took first place with the reading
Si and J” in the humorous.
The Pre-District Contest was held here on .March the twenty-fifth. It camc
between the Sub-District and District contests. We did not have to enter the
• uh-District as there were enough in the Oratorical class from other towns.
lloward Brandenburg was our representative and although the judges duln
give him anything we felt that he deserved a place. All the contestants worke
'an or Albia High and we appreciate their efforts greatly.
Debate
When the call was issued for debate about ten fellows responded and prepared
preliminary speeches on the state question : Resolved, That the works council or
shop committee (plan of industrial representation) be adopted in all plants em-
ploying more than two hundred men. The preliminaries were held before Mr.
Blosser and Mr. Lundy. Howard Brandenburg, Boyd Wilkin, and Burton Tarr
with Roy Olliver as alternate were chosen as the team.
The first debate was with Knoxville who supported the negative side at Albia.
Prof. Dennis of Simpson acted as judge and while it was a close debate Albia
received the decision.
The next debate was with Newton at Newton. Here Brandenburg, Olliver, and
Wilkin defended the affirmative while Tarr acted as alternate. Professor Ganna-
way of Grinnell acted as judge and while this debate was undoubtedly one of the
closest of the season Newton received the decision.
On March 11th Tarr, Jenkins, and Brandenburg defended the affirmative
against Chariton at Albia with Prof. Ryan of Grinnell as judge. This debate
while not as good as some of the others was won by the Albia team. On the
same day Wilkin, Ullem, and Olliver defended the negative against Bloomfield
at Bloomfield. The decision was in favor of Bloomfield.
This is the first year Albia has had a debating- team for several years and the
chances are good for a fine team next year as only two of this year’s team
graduate.

Elected by the High School Boys as a
typical High School girl.
We, as Seniors of the Class of ’21, are about to bid adieu to our four years’
stamping ground in Albia High. Before we go we wish to leave a few of our
priceless possessions for your enjoyment through the years to come. Our adieu
is not in the form of a prayer of thanksgiving uttered at parting but rather a
feeling of sadness comes o’er us that our souls cannot resist. When we are gone
and probably forgotten we hope you may profitably use some of the things
divinely dedicated to you in this our “Last will and testament”.
To the Freshmen we have the hope that the flowers of their greenhouse will
fortunately grow less radiant year by year.
To the Sophomores wc will our mistakes and misgivings, hoping you may
profit by them as you climb the great ladder of success.
To the Juniors we leave the title of Senior, knowing you can never reach the
sublime heights of training attained by the Class of ’21. If at first you don’t
succeed, try, try again.
To the Faculty we request you answer the appeal, that the Freshmen’s plight
makes to you, and be more considerate of underclassmen in general because
“they are only children”.

‘‘Sticker Days”
I
Yes, sticker days was in our school,
But not jist for one—for all.
I hain’t forgitted them days so cruel,
It got ’em both short and tall.
II
The brilliant, the bluffer, the dumb,
Each treated like the same;
A boobie prize was gave to a crumb
What didn’t have no fame.
Ill
First prize was had given to
The brightest guy in school,
The guy with the less amount of glue
And whom wasn’t been any fool.
IV
The first day them Seniors was smart,
They th inked to get first prize,
But “them there’s” and “these
here’s”
A la carte not none was missed by
Kies.
V
A Junior, he don’t do very better
When it corned to speakin’ good,
He don’t for she doesn’t—in a letter
Caused excitement—as it should.
VI
The smartest of these here classes,
yu know,
Am the sophomores most high,
They have did up ’most every foe
And will done the rest going by.
VII
Freshies are the most newer shebang,
They doesn’t know slang yet;
But jist wait until they join the gang
And they’ll beat the bunch, I’ll bet.
VIII
But faculty, so dignified of yore,
Have beat the whole dern school,
They say they’ll never make some more
No such another rule.

“A Trip to the Orient 1920”
Doesn't it sound thrilling? And it was. The gymnasium was transformed
into an enchanting Japanese garden with a latticed ceiling profusely laden with
chrysanthemums, while the oriental den at one end added to its effectiveness.
The unique toast program was very successfully carried out with Mr. Blosser
as the guide. Those given by Dean Long, John Whimpey, Thelma Whimpey,
Helen Early, Lucille Berry, Miss Duncan, and Miss Kies artfully unraveled the
mysteries of a “Trip to the Orient”.
Four courses were served by attractively dressed Sophomores. Between each
course a number of Miss Sowers’ pupils in aesthetic dancing entertained the
guests. The oriental candle shades, Japanese nut-cups, and the silver and rose
menu cards enhanced the pleasing appearance.
A grand finale concluded a most enjoyable evening for all. Led by Miss
Duncan and Mr. Blosser. Our Miss Van should receive great credit for the suc-
cess of this “never-to-be-forgotten time”.
Dorothy Moore.
Basket ball is my game; 1 want no other.
It maketh me to roll on the slippery floor, it leadeth me into fast battle.
It maketh me to jump and run, and maketh me like it for its name sake.
Yea, though I’m slapped and tripped in the conflict, I will show no yellow,
for the coach is watching me, his liniment and his bandages they comfort me.
It putteth a good man before me in the ranks of mine enemies, my guarding is
bum and he swears, my useful days are over.
Surely pain as remembrances will follow me all the days of my life, and 1 will
dream of making baskets forever.
Leona Samuel.

Capriciously Speaking
“Meet me in the high school hall
By my locker door.
There ice’ll talk of lessons hard, dear,
Talk of lessons, nothing more.
There our trials ice’ll recall
Over grade cards poor.
Meet me in the high school hall
By my locker door.”
Tune: “In the Vale of Dreams.”
Yes, they still sing it in Albia High as they did in the “Teens”. Perhaps the
words have changed somewhat, and no doubt they sing it to the tune of “Whis-
pering” or “Margie” now, but the essence of the old refrain is the same. Locker
door romances are as much in evidence today as of yore, in spite of the rigidly
adhered to “quiet zone” and “admit” systems.
The high school student today differs only in appearance (ear puffs and bobbed
hair make some difference^ not to mention the middle parting of the sleek, closely
cropped hair) from the student of yesterday. He is actuated by the same im-
pulses; pleasure and victory thrill him, disappointment and defeat dampen his
spirit for a short time only. The same old loyalty supports the Red and Blue.
Lusty throats still shout, “Your pep, your pep, you’ve got it, now use it, dog-
gone it, don’t lose it,—your pep !” We, as alumni, are prone to think that since
our departure, the old school has never been quite the same, that the best of the
old spirit died with our exodus, but nay, forgive us, Albia High marches on with
all the pep and vigor of Youth.
To you, old A. H. S., to whom we owe an unfailing debt of gratitude and ser-
vice, we pledge once more our allegiance. May your sons and daughters ever
“Carry on” in the same old loyal spirit.
To you, class of 1921, we extend congratulations and a hearty welcome into the
ranks of Alumni of Albia High School. May you set your goal, achieve your
highest ambitions, and “live happy ever after”.
Mable Evans.

COACH HARTZELL
Coach Hartzell came to us practically unknown.
All we knew of him was that he had played at Simp-
son and that he had promised to defeat Centerville.
From green material he developed a team that Albia
is certainly proud of, for he succeeded in bringing
out the best in each man.
DURWARD JONES
Half Back
A captain liked and admired by his team-mates.
An example both in training and on the field. Gained
renown by his brilliant runs against Centerville.
Lost by graduation.
HAROLD RICHTER
Tackle
Selected by his team-mates to lead them next year.
One of the best linemen on the team. Will undoubt-
edly lead Albia’s football team to victory next year.
KENNETH MERCER
Full Back
Was declared to be the most valuable man on the
team, Mercer was the life of the team. An excep-
tional plunger, punter, and passer. Will be with us
next year. Received all-state mention.
VINCENT CAVANAUGH
Quarter Back
A quarterback who knew what to do when it was
necessary. Always placed the team ahead of himself.
Playing his last game, against Centerville his leader-
ship was of exceptional variety.
BART DOWNS
End
A deadly tackler and one of the speediest men on
the team. lie has three more years in which to star
for Albia. Noted for his ability to carry the ball on
the 1 ‘end around” play.
FLOYD ULLEM
Gxiard
A stone wall in the center of the line. Playing his
first year he showed great ability as a linesman. Will
no doubt be one of the coach’s main stays next year.
The comedian of the team.
CLELL CARPENTER
Sub.
One with a smile that could not be wiped off. Short
but could be depended upon to do his part. Will be
with us next year.
szr w
HARLOW BURNSIDE
Guard
A linesman with ability both on offense and defense.
Always made his share of the tackles. Will be a big
loss next year.
ORIS PUCKETT
Center
Had an exceptional knack in getting the ball to the
back-field men. There were few fumbles when Puck-
ett was at center. A strength on offense. Should be
with us next year.
JOHN ELLIS
Tackle
The biggest man on the team and proved it. Al-
ways got more than his share of the tackles. Was
always able to get the man with the ball.
CHARLES RISK
Sub.
He could play either guard or tackle. Was always
ready to take his place when told. Will be one of
the coach’s handy men next year.

Football Resume
■When in our memories we witness again the games of ’20, we cannot help but
remember September 24, when Bloomfield and her veterans arrived. Jt was a
lucky day for A. II. S., and with the pep that always wins the game, we came
from the field with the victory 10-0. This being our first game we were rather
puffed up, and sad! that was soon over when Grinnell hit us. They made their
debut October 2, and departed leaving us the rind 28-0. It was a good clean
game and a fight from start to finish. Fairfield was our next game, October 9.
Every one was full of pep and determined to win this game. The players were
full of fight and held them to a score of 7—7 to the third quarter when, alas!
Albia lost her horseshoe and we came from the game, Albia 7, Fairfield 35.
October 16. Where is every one going? To Ottumwa, of course. Oh, what a
crowd! Albia men were noted for the game they played. We scored on them,
something that had never been accomplished by any other of Ottumwa’s enemies
during the season. More than that, we tied them 14—14. No other game during
our football season contained more chills and thrills than this Ottumwa-Albia
game.
October 30. Was Chariton seared? They sure were and our band did it all.
It wasn’t much of a game after all. The men couldn’t get started, and the ball
didn’t seem to favor us in the least, for not once did it go over the line in our
favor so we left the game 26—0.
Corydon arrived in our town November 6, sure of victory, but they soon
changed their minds when the second half started. Our men were full of the
old fight and in for gains. Two minutes to play and the score 7—14 in Corydon s
favor. Only one minute left and over the line we go for a touchdown. The
game closed 14—14.
You are not'supposed to fight on Armistice Day but since we generally do
what we are not supposed to we fought Osceola. Our mamma told us if we dis-
obeyed we would suffer. Therefore the Lord made it cold. This only served to
make our boys fast; so fast that Osceola could only hold us to 33—0.

In football Coaeh Hartzell had to develop material, while in basket ball his
work was of a different nature. Using his own excellent knowledge of the game
)1C perfected the team, and taught them to work the floor in the best possible
manner. His work is certainly profitable and we expect a crack five next year.
JOHN WHIMPEY
Guard
Playing his last year John was invaluable to his team both as a leader and a
player. A guard who covered his position well and also scored some necessary
points. His loss will be keenly felt next year.
WALTER MORRISSEY
Forward
Had the knack of throwing a basket when it was needed most. The surest
shot on the team. Noted for his natural complexion. He also played his last
year for Albia.
FAY WILLIAMS
Forward
Could play’ either forward or center. A sure shot when under the basket.
Had a peculiar way of expressing himself. Lost by graduation.
KENNETH MERCER
Guard
Showed the same fight on the basket ball floor as on the football field. Chosen
as next year’s captain byr his teammates. His exceptional ability will make him
a good leader. Plays forward, center or guard.
DURWARD JONES
Guard
The shortest man on the team but one of the hardest fighters. A power on
defense due to his ability to get the ball. A natural athlete and a big loss for
next year’s squad. Always in a good humor.
VINCENT CAVANAUGH
Sub
Our football quarter who took up basket ball and made good. Handicapped
by size but made it up in spirit and fight. Ready when called upon.
HAROLD RICHTER
Center
Joined the squad late but stayed with it. Playing his first year of basket bal
ie showed the making of a fast center next year. Has two more years to fight
for Albia.
Basket ball fans always like to see something sensational, and our first game
on the home floor certainly satisfied them. Osceola came to Albia knowing the
game would be a hard one for them, and so they were prepared to show Albia
some real playing. But—so were our boys prepared, and the game itself was a
fitting climax for such preparation ; for the score was “15 and” when final time
was called. In the extra five minutes that followed the boys exhibited some
“peppy pep” and got the ball to Williams, who made the basket, from the center
of the floor, that made us victors of the first game of the season.
The Fairfield game was not quite as exciting but it was fast ball. And al-
though both teams played well our forwards seemed to be unlucky, thereby let-
ting the 26-16 score be to Fairfield’s credit.
When good sports lose a game, it only—as one of our boosters said—serves as
a misplaced pin, to make them move faster in the next one. So, now, don’t mis-
take me, our boys didn’t need the pin, but anyway they were fast movers in the
Knoxville game, and brought us home seventeen pounds of bacon and left Knox-
ville fourteen.
Four days later we had our “little tussle”, which was supposed to be a basket
ball game, with Ottumwa. Of course Mercer is a nice boy and all that, but
sometimes some of us wish we could get by with a little of his “defensive stuff”.
But since some of our boys couldn’t get by with it Ottumwa naturally ran off
with their 29—18 victory over Albia.
On January 21 a large number of peppy rooters “escorted” the team to
Centerville, and brought back the lightest half of the 25—17 score. However, the
game was very interesting, the score at the end of the first half being 12-10 in
their favor. The Des Moines Tribune announced Whimpey and Mercer as hav-
ing featured the game for us.
Of course, as usual, an exceptionally large crowd went to Ottumwa to see the
boys perform. This was decidedly a better brand of basket ball than the game
at home, as their victory was gained by only four points this time.
For the boys the best trip of the season is that to Indianola; they say they feel
at home there and it makes one feel that he almost has to play a fine game of ba
on a floor like that one. Every member of our team worked in that game but
could not prevent Indianola from taking the 24 points while we had to
just 16.
Earlier in the season we obtained a three-point victory over Knoxville.,
•so, as an ice cream man once said, “The more you get the more you want’ .
had beaten them once and were determined on doing it again. In this game t e
team work oE our boys was especially good, in fact it was our team work tin
achieved for Albia the favored part of the 19-21 score.
However, most teams have their so-called “night off” and it must of be
our turn when we played Moravia. A little Jap’s mother once said to him,
And
We
vou no "-°rk’ you nO eet” But in America’ they say if you don’t play you get
beat. Under the circumstances it was no surprise to find that the 16-14 score
was in Moravia’s favor.
On February 11 our boys defeated Osceola 21—18. Again an extra period was
necessary, the score being “18 and” at the end of the regular game. As before
if was fast ball well played on the part of both contesting teams.
When our team “hit” Fairfield they hit one of the fastest teams in the state
and since they held Fairfield to 19 points and in the meantime made 16 points
for themselves we feel that we are justified in being proud of Coach Hartzell’s
scrappci’s.
The week before the Centerville game here, the boys went around singing,
whistling, humming the tune of “You’ll be surprised”. And moreover Center-
ville was so surprised that all they could do was to put up a game fight; make
only 9 points and stop us at 17.
The thirteenth game of the season and an “unlucky” one for us was at Oska-
loosa. Oskee admitted that we had a “crack five” and their paper stated that
■Williams and Richter were the only Albia players to shine and their rays were
faint and clouded”. The first half ended with the score 16-2 in their favor, but
a team is never beaten till the last whistle blows. Hartzell’s usual “gentle en-
couragement” between halves had put some new pep into the boys and they
scored evenly with Oskaloosa in the last half. Nevertheless Oskee had obtained
their lead in the first half that made them the victors.
After the Hiteman game, Jones was heard to remark, “That there game was
some take ’em in and knock ’em out affair.” It was the “roughest” game of the
whole season. But the team work of our boys simply outclassed that of Hiteman,
and as for the rough part of it it reminded me of a saying which goes, “Let ’em
come for the harder they eome the harder they go.”
This ended the season and it was unanimously agreed that John Whimpey,
Walter Morrissey, Kenneth Mercer, Buster Williams, Durward Jones, Harold
Richter, and Vincent Cavanaugh surely deserve their reward.

the:
COACH SOWERS
Aliss Sowers was the center of interest when she started the basket ball season,
* he soo„ made that interest switch to her team, for she put out one of the
1 st teams that Albia ever had. One could read the phrase “clean sportsman-
,1 ’’ nn everv move the team made. Beyond a doubt the success of the season
is due to her enthusiastic coaching.
OPAL SMITH
Opal spent her last year here as captain of one of the best teams Albia has
ever had. She has an accurate eye for baskets and can shoot over any guard.
Has lots of pep and is a good loser. Her playing is consistent and she can be
relied upon in a hard game. Starred in all games.
GERTRUDE ROWE
Gertrude has been chosen captain for next year. Plays either guard or jump-
ing center. Usually gets the “tip-off” and has good team work with her running
center.
MAUDE HUNTER
Maude is especially good on long shots and free throws. Her playing is rather
spectacular but she makes every move count. Was given honorable mention at
the state tournament. She will be with us next year.
EDITH MOSER
A valuable asset to the team because of her ability to play first-class ball in
three positions. Stars as running center. Her speed and scrap are her strong
points.
MARGARET HYATT
A hard working running center. She has trained well and. has developed
more than any other member of the team. Works her signals with Gertrude to
a good advantage.
HELEN EARLY
A whirlwind at guard. Seldom lets the ball get to her opponent. Helen and
Eva have played together three years and are noted for their team work. It will
be hard to fill their places next year.
.1 ■ EVA KERR
Works hard every minute of the game. Can always be depended upon to do
her part. Her strong point, is to get high balls and outjump her opponent.
LEONA SAMUEL
Played a wonderful game as guard at Centerville. Hard to shoot over because
of her long reach. Has the ability to play any position and is noted for her speed.

The following Tuesday both teams went to Ottumwa. The Ottumwa iri.-l
bound to return the compliment they had received at Albia in the earliZr part of
the season and they succeeded, but by only one point—13-14. This
irred by the constant fouling of both teams. g' was
We had a return game with Centerville, a double header. Our girts had heard
that they had improved so much that they expected a much harder struggle than
they had taken part m at Centerville. But they were disappointed. The"guards’
team work was displayed and our forwards scored practically at will. Opal with
26 points to her credit out of 53 was the individual star although she didn’t plav
the entire game.
On February 4th Sigourney played here. Our girls were out to get revenge
for the one-point defeat that they had received last year on the Sigourney floor.
And they certainly had their wants fulfilled for their opponents were outplayed
during the entire game, and the close guarding of the winners (Albia, of course)
was a feature of the game. However, the game was one of the fastest of the
season, Albia scoring 45 points and Sigourney 20.
The girls went to Nevada February 11 and got away with a poor start the
first half, but came back strong the last, and had Nevada wondering whether
they were going to be the victors or not. But when the final whistle blew, Nevada
had won, 16-12. Although rough, it was one of the best games of the season.
Our girls had superior team work, but the close guarding of Nevada prevented
many shots.
The girls were more determined to win the next game so they practiced hard
all week preparatory to defeating Fremont. They had defeated Ottumwa, so
this put more determination into the varsity to beat Fremont. This failed to be
the game we thought it would be, and proved the most uninteresting one of the
season. Fremont substituted centers frequently but our girls just played the
game anyhow in stellar style, Albia caging 29 points and Sigourney 13.
The girls continued on their march to make a winning season by defeating
Hiteman 18—4. This was Hiteman’s first defeat and the game was closely con-
tested, roughness on the part of the visitors featuring. Smith, Albia’s captain,
made all of Albia’s points, and Albia’s guards played a good defensive game.
The Hiteman girls displayed plenty of fight but lacked knowledge of finer points
of the game, while the team work of the locals was responsible for the scoring.
This game completed the schedule, and as the dope stands now, our girls are
going to be strong contenders for the State Championship. March on! A final
summary of all games played shows that Albia has 265 points while their oppo-
nents have 96.
Kenneth Mercer.
The girls’ basket ball season officially closed at the end of the Drake Tounia
ment which was held March 18 and 19 at the Drake Gym.
Thirty-eight teams from all over the state were entered and on the whole the
teams were much stronger than those of last year. The tournament started about
nine o’clock in the morning and Albia played their first game with Denison at
10:30 A. M. This proved to be a fast, close game with both teams playing real
basket ball. It was no mean victory for Albia in that Denison had already won
a local or district tournament and later won the consolation series at Drake.
The second game proved .to be with Audubon, our old enemy of last year. This
also was a hard fought game. Albia scored the first field basket but Audubon
soon came back, tied the score and shortly gained a few points lead which they
held all through the first half. At the beginning of the second half it looked as
though Albia'had a'chance for victory when she crawled up to within two points
of Audubon but Audubon again gained several points and stayed well in the

of ADI'e’NTUR’ES which each of you have

as [ note that look of YEARNING which is
sprinkled with fear lest your name might be
writ in these pages, as the FOOL of some
FOOLISH REMARK, wo are moved to com-
passion. But in the BEGINNING let us say
that any incidents that appear in the JUICY
PAGES which you are about to PERUSE are
the truth, the whole truth and anything but
the truth. As Professor Hartzel so TOUCH-
INGLY remarks, “We are neither a historian
or descendants of historians, neither do we
bear any lineage to MARCUS TWAIN,” but
if we can bring a bubbling laugh to the lips
of a TIMID FRESHMAN or a faint smile to
the rosy nose of a SOLEMN SOPHOMORE
we would consider our work well done. Tn
compilation of this tremendous and magnifi-
cent dep’t we are indebted to HOWARD
BRANDENBURG for side-splitting jokes
which happened in JENNIE MARIE ’S class
and to HAROLD BLOSSER whose VERY
STATURE provokes ns to LAUGHTER.
Also we are under OBLIGATIONS to the
following people—
The Stewdent body of Albia High School.
O long may they waver!
To Count Holdem Tightsky, inventor of
the Death Rattle.
To Doctor O. How She Fights, Professor
Jim Jitser of Harvard.
At this time let us present a poem written
by Brainless Bats, the same gink what wrote:
‘ ‘ Through the Alps in a Submarine. ’ ’
“To the North Pole in a Panama Hat.”
“The Cheezc Hound in Modern Warfare.”
Etc., etc., ete.

We have used up all our brains,
And all our patience, too;
Have tried to bring in gains
That will benefit you.
We have worked right thru till night,
From first thing in the morn;
We have thot with all our might,
Till our very brains are worn.
Folks have helped us, yes, a lot,
About that you can converse.
If the Screech isn’t up to the dot,
You tell us, not the universe.
