FOREWORD
As seniors of 1941 we edit this CHERO KEAN with the hope that it may serve as a trading post where, in the future, you may barter back at your leisure, pleasant reminiscence of this school year.
We, the Cherokee High Seniors of 1941, take great pleasure in dedicating this 1941 CHEROKEAN to Mr. Roy Jarrard. Coach Jarrard's tireless efforts in the classroom, his pleasant personality, and his successful leadership of our wrestling team have won for him the admiration and loyalty of the entire student body.

With the ideal traits for a senior boy and girl in mind, the CHEROKEAN is proud to acclaim Margaret Hill and Leland Christensen as the representative boy and girl of the graduating class of 1941. These two students were elected on the basis of friendliness, loyalty, sportsmanship, courtesy, representative participation in activities, and average scholastic ability. So we are pleased to say—"Congratulations to you both!"

FOOTBALL
On to the gridiron this season came one of Cherokee High's lightest teams in years. Because of the absence of weight and to keep up with methods in football, speed and deception were dwelled upon intensively. 
Coach Hi Covey was enthusiastic with praise for the spirit of the squad throughout the season. Despite considerable illness Coach Covey carried on when at all possible, and only when absolutely impossible did he rely on his assistants, Coach Roy Jarrard and Coach Alva McClintock, to carry out his instructions. 
With plenty of deception, blocking and speed, our backfield kept opponents in hot water. The lightweight line made it necessary for good blocking with Jack Ogilvy, Carroll Hauptly, and Delbert Perrin stopping anything but a powerhouse. These five boys were the veterans of last year's Lakes Conference Champs. 
Carroll Hauptly, Jack Ogilvy, and Bob Ogilvy were given honorable mention in the Lakes Conference selections. Jack Ogilvy was honored by being selected as guard on the Lakes Conference second team. Bob Ogilvy won mention in the Des Moines Register and Sioux City Journal teams also. 
Due to inexperienced material many boys were given an opportunity to play, and as a result 18 boys received letters. The following are the names and positions of the lettermen: Seniors—Carroll Hauptly, tackle; Jack Ogilvy, guard; Merrill Steele, tackle; Frank Druyor, center; Kenneth Barnes, tackle; Richard Thompson, end; Creighton Anfinson, halfback; and Pierce Green,
halfback. Juniors: Dean Curtis, end; Jim Huber, end; Delbert Perrin, guard; Neil Jacobe, halfback; Bob Ogilvy, quarterback; Charles Goeb, fullback; 
Wayne Flickinger, halfback. Sophomores : Loyd Martin, tackle; Dana Perrin, end; Mickey Miller, halfback. 
Page 29
Jack Ogilvy, senior, this season finished his second year of varsity football for Cherokee High and was chosen honorary captain of the team at the end of the 1940 season. Consistent all around play in the guard position warranted him this recognition.

BASKETBALL

BASKETBALL 
Much credit for the past year's success in basketball should be given to the man who sat on the sidelines, Coach Covey. He inspired the Braves with the hope and confidence that helped them to break that four-year "jinx" and come through to win ten out of eighteen games. Mr. Covey has been able to instill in the minds of the boys those various qualities needed by all good athletes to insure for themselves success both on the athletic field and also in life. 
The following boys saw action on the basketball court this year: 
CARROLL HAUPTLY, who was our six-foot Captain-elect. Carroll, a senior forward, averaged approximately ten points in every game. This lad was an outstanding scoring threat and also one of the rebound experts for the team. 
JIM HUBER, a first year letterman, was one of our outstanding defense men this year. Fast, and elusive, this junior center will be back again in his senior year. 
BOB OGILVY, our junior guard, developed a nice power on fast-break offenses. We expect to see more of this first year letterman on the hard court next year. 
CREIGHTON ANFINSON was one of the outstanding ball handlers and dribblers that the team had. Creighton gave constantly when points were needed the most and specialized on long shots.
DEAN CURTIS, a junior and a two-year letterman, was the main scorer of the squad. Dean was a good defense man and we hope to see a lot of action from him next year. 
TOM BOOTHBY was our junior reserve guard this year. Tom's enthusiasm is a great asset to any squad. He was one of our first-year lettermen and will also be back next year. 
PIERCE GREEN, a reserve forward and the smallest man on the squad, proved to be a fast and elusive player. He is a first-year letterman and this year completed his playing for C. H. S. 
ARMOND HALWEG, a first-year letterman, saw lots of action the last part of the season. With a little more experience, we should see him on the "first five". 
KARL KARLSON is a sophomore reserve guard this year. A little more seasoning should do great things for this lad. 
MICKEY MILLER. Little need be said about this six foot reserve center for those who saw him in action at Albert City will know his possibilities. 
Page 33
Howard Olson, Dana Perrin, Tom Ryan and Jim McDonald should also make the going tough for the regulars next year. 
The 1940-41 basketball season was one of the most successful that the Braves have had in quite some time. Under the guidance of Coaches Covey and McClintock the Braves made a total of ten wins out of eighteen tries. 
This year Bob Ogilvy, Creighton Anfinson, Carroll Hauptly,- Jim Huber, Pierce Green, Dean Curtis, and Tom Boothby won their letters in this sport. Both Hauptly and Curtis have received letters previously and this year were awarded chevrons. Manager numerals were awarded to the team managers, Tim Hooper and Jim Bell.
One of the most thrilling games of the season for the Braves was the game with Le Mars on the home floor. The Braves were able to hold the powerful Bull Dogs scoring machine to a tie score of 3-3 at the end of the first quarter. No team had held Le Mars to that score in an opening quarter this year. At the half time Cherokee trailed by only a single point, 8-7; and at the final whistle Cherokee led 23-20. This was Le Mar's only defeat of the entire season. 
Cherokee's defense, which led to many pass interceptions and the breaking up of their opponent's offense, has been the deciding factor in nearly every victory this season. Toward the end of the season Cherokee's scoring machine looked very much improved and coupled with their tight defense to give local fans thrill after thrill. 
Coach McClintock was in charge of the underclassmen squads and it was his undertaking to help produce future winning teams for Wilson High. He had the coaching duty that most of us are liable to forget but which few teams can do without.

Coach Roy E. Jarrard once more showed his ability as a coach when the boys ended a successful wrestling season with a total of six wins out of eight tries. Coach Jarrard strives for a clean, hard working team and because of this, Cherokee has won state wide recognition as well as a State Championship. We are looking forward to a winning team next year and possibly another State title.

The Cherokee track squad started the season magnificently with the greatest turnout in the school's history. Seventy-six boys reported for track. Also a record in itself is the returning of eleven lettermen to provide a nucleus for the 1941 track team. 
The eleven lettermen are: Pierce Green, Creighton Anfinson, Carrol Hauptly, Glen Carlson, Kenneth Hoyt, Jim Huber, Bob Ogilvy, Darrell Bunkers, Clifton Bunton, Neil Jacobe and Mickey Miller. 
Head Coach Covey, assisted by Mr. Jarrard and Leonard Shoenrock were placed in charge of molding this great amount of potential energy into a great team. 
Heading the track squad are the Co-Captains, Creighton Anfinson, pole vaulter, and Pierce Green, half-miler. 
April 11—The 1941 track team made its initial appearance at the Holstein Relays. 
April 19—The Cherokee Braves played host to a large field of contenders from Northwest Iowa and neighboring states at the Tomahawk Relays. 
April 26—The Braves journeyed to Alta to participate in the Relays as one of several visiting track teams.
April 29—The annual triangular meet consisting of Ida Grove, Storm Lake, and Cherokee met at Storm Lake for a day of participation in the many events. 
May 2—The towns of Cherokee County met in Aurelia to decide the County Championship. 
May 9—The District Track Meet was held to find the best contenders for the State meet.

May 24—The State meet draws to a close another successful season. Page 40
GOLF AND TENNIS 
Spring has again brought golf to the minds of our boys with thirty-five re porting to Coach McClintock. The boys on the team last year were: Bill Montgomery, George Rapson, Wayne Flickinger, Vernon Nonken, Bob John son, Mickey Miller, and Tom McCulla. All of these boys will be back this year except Tom who graduated. Of these boys Vernon Nonken, Bob Johnson, and Tom McCulla won letters last year. The gym is available for the boys to practice in when the weather hinders their practice on the golf course. Chero kee defeated Akron in the first meet of the season. At Spencer they captured second place in the triangular meet. They defeated Storm Lake on the home course and tied for third place in the conference meet that was held at Brooks Beach, thus ending a successful season. 
Another popular spring sport is tennis. Tennis has always been handicapped by our tennis courts which are damp, off and on all season. The main event of the tennis season is the running off of the intermural singles and doubles with medals being awarded first and second place winners. In the contest last year, Don Duven placed first in the singles and Charles Goeb, second. First in the doubles was captured by Gordon Steele and Charles Goeb with Don and Fred Duven, runners up. The girls also participated in the contest with Margaret Hill winning first in the singles and Helen Karlson, second. In the doubles, first place was taken by Margaret Hill and Janette Sjostrom and second place by Norma Jean Phipps and Carol Hughes.

HONOR "C" CLUB 
The Honor "C" Club is a new organization in Cherokee High School this year which was organized to take the place of the "C" Club. The Honor "C" Club has as its objective two main purposes. First, to carry on all activities for the general welfare of the high school, and second, to raise the standard of athletics in every detail, both in the number of boys participating and in the enthusiasm shown on the squads. 
The Council, which is the governing body of the Honor "C" Club, is composed of eight boys. They are: Seniors—Jack Ogilvy, Leland Christensen, Carrol Hauptly, Creighton Anfinson; Juniors—Bob Ogilvy, Jim Huber, Neil Ja cobe and Delbert Perrin. 
The officers are: Jack Ogilvy—President, Carroll Hauptly—Vice-President, Bob Ogilvy—Secretary, Creighton Anfinson—Treasurer. 
The Honor "C" Club, in addition to sponsoring the main lecture at the Vocational Conference, has held many lectures and activities for the boys in high school.

ACTIVITIES
GIRL'S ATHLETICS
G.I A J A.
The G. A. A. is an athletic association for girls who are interested in sports. Before a girl may become a member of this organization, she must have an 80 per cent scholastic average and have 100 points, which are earned by participating in the various sports. 
The state G. A. A., of which our G. A. A. is a member, is headed by Miss Eileen McEown, who is our local gym instructor.
The following compose the G. A. A. Board: 
JANETTE SJOSTROM President JEAN ROYER Vice-President GLORIA CLOW Secretary MAXINE KIRCHOFF Treasurer DORA DEAN McMANUS Point Recorder BARBARA SPURGIN Co-Point Recorder 
JEWELL STOWELL Senior Class Representative BETTY JOHNSON Junior Class Representative MARGARET HILL . . . . Soccer ALICE CROCKER Volleyball FRANCES SORRELL Basketball MARJORIE SLEEZER . . . M Kittenball 
LUCILLE BONG . . Ping Pong 
G. A. A. members initiated a group of twenty-three girls in the gym on March 7. The initiation was in the form of a "Truth and Consequence" program. Dancing, ping pong, badminton, and volleyball provided the rest of the evening's entertainment. 
The new members of the G. A. A. organization are: Mary Louise Lauer, Ruth Royer, La Vonne Chiles, Pat Collister, Carol Hughes, Maxine Jobe, Mary Johnson, Betty Brenneman, Nola Micham, Delores Shove, Betty Moses, Viola Ballantyne, La Mona Peck, Joyce Rux, Vivian Smith, Mary Margaret Wise, Marian Fleig, Dixie Kirkham, Joan Stevens, Marjorie Hoyt, Janice McCord, Norma Jean Phipps, and Jackie Williams.

SOCCER 
The girls' sports season opened this year with soccer. Soccer is quite a new sport in our school and has proven to be very popular. Unfortunately weather conditions prevented a tournament from being played. 
VOLLEYBALL 
The volleyball season opened with a large number of girls participating and ended with the Sophomores defeating the Seniors by a score of 28-26. A feature of the sport was mixed volleyball, in which both boys and girls took part. It proved to be both successful and entertaining. 
HEALTH EDUCATION
A new health program was introduced to girls’ gym classes this year. Each month a discussion was held concerning such matters as grooming, clothes, and social hygiene. Discussing these points has proven both beneficial and educational as it gives the girls an opportunity to exchange their ideas and opinions. 
MUSIC
GIRLS' GLEE CLUB
This year the girls' chorus has concentrated on developing a pleasing stage personality. Miss Luther, Cherokee's new vocal teacher, has done much to help the girls accomplish this objective. The excellent choral music has also been the result of her apt direction. Her unceasing efforts to help each one individually as well as a group have won her the friendship of the whole chorus. The following make up the girls' chorus:

With the concert season in full swing, every effort is being put forth to make it a profitable one with both the state and national contests as ultimate goals.

ORCHESTRA 
The time is Home Room period on Wednesday. We hear soft strains of music as we approach the band room, and we know at once that it is the High School Orchestra holding its weekly rehearsal under the direction of Mr. Dale Caris. 
Though the orchestra is perhaps less well-known than the band, nevertheless, it is an organization of which we should be proud, for it is one of the 
very few High School orchestras in this part of the state. 
z 
The orchestra is very different from the band. While the brass instruments predominate in the band, the orchestra is made up primarily of strings and reeds. 
Our orchestra has made a good showing at contests in previous years, having received a second rating in the State Music Contest for the last two years. Orchestra members are:

DRAMATICS 
Under the able direction of Miss Jean Sloan, the declamatory contestants this year acquired many honors in county and state contests. From a field of forty contestants, nine students were chosen to represent us in the home con test in November. They were: 
Oratorical—Bonita Hahn 1, Milo Deuel 2, Eldon Stanford; Dramatic—Maxine Kirchoff 1, Marjorie Sievert 2, Marjorie Hoyt; Humorous—Don Duven 1, Clarence Martin 2, Betty Champion. 
In the home contest Bonita, Maxine, and Don received first ratings. Each received first again in the preliminary contest of the state rounds. Don received a second rating in the sub-district, while Maxine and Bonita continued for two more contests. Each was eliminated with second ratings in the district contest at Manning. 
The three seconds in the home contest represented Cherokee in the Cherokee County contest. Milo and Marjorie survived the sub-county and continued on to the county contest where Marjorie received a first rating. This completed a profitable and successful year of declaim.
Seniors presented their annual Senior Class Play on Thursday night, April 17. The play, "The Late Christopher Bean," by Sidney Howard was under the direction of Miss Jean Sloan. 
The plot revolves around the attempts of several people to secure the paintings of "The Late Christopher Bean." 
Members of the cast included:

POW wow 
Little by little for several years now, the school paper which was once only an English class experiment, is nearing its goal of perfection. Under the able sponsorship of Miss Vera Pratt, faculty advisor, the Pow Wow has become a medium of bringing the community at large closer to Wilson High School and its activities. 
The Pow Wow, which is published every Monday in the Cherokee Daily Times, is the result of much hard work on the part of the staff members who beat the dead-line every week. The staff's duties are not just occasional ones, but they are regular weekly assignments which have to be written in order to publish a paper worthy of representing our school. 
Every Tuesday morning, there is a compulsory meeting of the staff in Room 5. This meeting is held for the purpose of discussing the paper and giving helpful criticism and sincere praise to members of the staff. 
Helen Karlson, who very efficiently edits the paper every week, is aided by Margaret Hill, the assistant editor. Maxine Kirchoff creates most of the editorials while Marjorie Hoyt, Joan Stevens, Norma Phipps, Mary Ann Dillon, and Lucille Carlson act as news writers. 
The reporters for boys' sports are Wayne Minkler, Tom Boothby, and Bob Lanxton. Mary Johnson has charge of the girls' sports articles. All society is written by Betty Sullivan. Evelyn Odle and Betty Kirkpatrick tumish the humor known as "Teepee Tattlings." 
The Pow Wow exchanges with many other school papers. This exchange is made possible through the efforts of Betty Champion and her helper, Bema dine Nims. Frank Druyor watches for news in the music department; Charles Hall and James Ethington snap pictures to fulfill their duties of staff photographers. Neil Jacobe is the talented cartoonist and Pat Collister, Ruby Hatterman, Jewell Stowell, and Betty Volkert do the typing. 

Quill and Scroll is a national honorary journalistic society which was organized in Cherokee High School three years ago. Membership in this organization is limited to a chosen few who were able to meet the strict requirements set up by the national society, and who have done some outstanding work in connection with the Pow-Wow. 
Old members are: Marjorie Hoyt, Margaret Hill, Helen Karlson, Betty Kirk patrick, Bonita Hahn, and Betty Sullivan. 
New members which were initiated at an impressive ceremony April 2, 1941 are: Evelyn Odle, Mary Ann Dillon, Betty Champion, Wayne Minkler, Charles Hall, Maxine Kirchoff, Clara Belle Pearse, Frank Druyor, and Pauline Mansfield. Miss Vera Pratt is the able sponsor.

BIG SISTERS 
Incoming students of Wilson High countered in junior high school. For founded four years ago, continued its school year. 
are often baffled by problems not en this reason the Big Sister Organization, theme of service throughout the 1940-41 
This group, composed of twelve girls from the senior and junior classes, is chosen on the basis of leadership, scholarship, loyalty, co-operation, and service. Members of the organization this year were: Margaret Hill—First Counselor, Helen Karlson—Second Counselor, Betty Kirkpatrick—Secretary, Jewell Stowell—Treasurer, Martha Johns, Janette Sjostrom, Marjorie Hoyt, Jean Royer, Ruth Busser, Betty Waters, Lucille Carlson, and Barbara Spurgin. 
The schedule of events this year started with an orientation day program designed to help the freshmen with their lockers, schedules, and other problems common among new students. A hand book compiled by the Big Sisters and the Council of the Honor "C" Club proved a helpful factor in this orientation program. 
On October 6, a picnic for all new girls was given at Wescott Park. This informal affair assisted the girls in becoming acquainted with each other and with their own Big Sister. 
Five assembly programs for the girls were given throughout the year. The theme of these meetings was based on the line "Life has loveliness to sell," from the poem, "Barter" by Sarah Teasdale. 
During the Christmas season, the Big Sisters sponsored a Mother-Daughter Tea at which the mothers were informed as to the Big Sister Organization and its purpose. 
On April 21, initiation was held. The seven new Big Sisters are: Betty Spurgin, Elaine Penney, Betty Moses, Marian Busser, Joann Stevens, Mary Margaret Wise and Norma Jean Phipps. 
The Big Sister Organization completed its plans with a picnic in the spring for all high school girls. 
Several other meetings and projects were also carried out, thus making the program completely successful.
