Bicentennial Reflections -- The History of the Des Moines Public Schools 1846-1976 by Robert R. Denny Des Moines Public Schools Des Moines, Iowa Page 1 Page 2 Page 3 Bicentennial Reflections -- History of the Des Moines Public Schools 1846-1976 Dr. Robert R. Denny DES MOINES PUBLIC SCHOOLS BOARD OF EDUCATION Dr. George G. Caudill, President Mr. Nolden Gentry Dr. Ora E. Niffenegger Mrs. Betty Grundberg Mr. Merle F. Schlarnpp Dr. John E. McCaw Mrs. Jaclc Spevalc SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS Dr. Dwight M. Davis Front Cover Design - Henry Kester, Art Consultant Printing-W. Dale Harsh, Ted Finch, Printing Instructors Richard Anderson, Carroll Fetters, and Tech High Students Copyright, June, 1976 - Des Moines Public Schools, Des Moines, Iowa Page 4 Page 5 TO THE FIFTH GRADE PUPILS: In 1976 our nation is observing its bicentennial and for the Des Moines Schools it will mark our 130th birthday. In marking the ages of political institutions both dates note longevity. In the balance of ages of civilization, it is a short interval. Our bicentennial is a time for joy in our accomplishments and for solemn reflection on the future. As students you will learn many things in your study of Iowa history and the geography of the state. In various books you will learn about historical events pertaining to the entire state. This supplementary booklet will provide many historical highlights of the development of schools within the city of Des Moines. This local history will give many details that could not be incorporated in books used throughout the state of Iowa. Through the years the citizens of Des Moines have demonstrated their belief in the values of education by providing excellent school buildings, adequate textbooks and a well-educated staff of teachers. The chances are that you have always accepted the fact that you had a school to attend. It was there. It had a name, possibly for some president such as Washington, Jefferson or Jackson, or for some local person such as Rice, Hubbell or Watrous. Did you ever stop to observe that most Des Moines Schools have had one or more sections added at one time or another? When were they built? Where did the names come from that were used for the buildings? These are a few of the questions that might be asked. On the following pages you will find a history of the Des Moines Independent Community School District. You will find that this name is a very recent one since it was acquired only in 1957. The history on the ensuing pages covers the period 1846-1976. You will discover that the present school district includes all or part of 24 different school districts that formerly existed. A proud school heritage is yours. There is a past filled with change and new ideas. You will find the Des Moines Schools have kept pace with the challenges of a new community, a new state, and a new nation. -Dr. Robert R. Denny Assistant Superintendent for Education Page 6 TO THE STUDENTS: You are living at a special time--the celebration of the 200th anniversary of our country. The Bicentennial brings an awareness of and interest in our heritage, our past, and the men and women who provided the leadership during our early history. We study the past in order to make wise decisions in the present and hope to avoid mistakes in the future. As you study the history of Iowa, you become aware of Iowa's heritage. As a part of Iowa's history, the history of the Des Moines Public Schools shows the heritage of a progressive and alert school system. It shows how this community met needs, challenges, and problems throughout the schools' one hundred and thirty years. People worked hard to continually improve and build upon an outstanding school system. The future will show continued changes as they are needed to meet the opportunities and challenges of the last quarter of the twentieth century and the beginning of the twenty-first. Des Moines is a good place to live. Ours is the largest school district in Iowa, and its citizens, school people, and educational programs meet the needs of today's youth and will chart a rewarding course for the years ahead. -Dr. Dwight M.

    Parks and Recreation 8

    Parks and Recreation 8 Parks and Recreation Introduction Past versions of the Johnston Comprehensive Plan have addressed parks and recreation in a fairly traditional manner by analyzing the components of the park system and making recommendations to meet future needs. This version of the plan retains this analytical approach while seeking to position Johnston to truly integrate parks and recreation into the daily lives of Johnston’s residents. This integration is known as active living. Active living is integrating physical activity into daily life. This integration is becoming more important than ever given on-going increases in adult and child obesity rates. Adult obesity rates increased in 28 states from 2009 to 2010 and declined only in the District of Columbia according to F as in Fat: How Obesity Threatens America’s Future 2010, a report from the Trust for America’s Health and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. More than two-thirds of the states (38) have adult obesity rates above 25 percent. In 1991, no state had an obesity rate above 20 percent. Iowa is representative of these statistics for the adult population. From 2007 to 2009, 27.6% of Iowa’s adults were considered obese. The state ranked 22nd in adult obesity. Fortunately, the obese and overweight rate for Iowa’s children aged 10 to 17 was only 11.2% compared to the national average of 31.7%. Iowa was ranked #46 in child obesity. Obesity rates are only one indicator of a society that has become more sedentary. Today, parks and playfields compete with interactive gaming and other media opportunities.
  • William Preston and the Revolutionary Settlement

    William Preston and the Revolutionary Settlement

    Journal of Backcountry Studies EDITOR’S NOTE: This is the third and last installment of the author’s 1990 University of Maryland dissertation, directed by Professor Emory Evans, to be republished in JBS. Dr. Osborn is President of Pacific Union College. William Preston and the Revolutionary Settlement BY RICHARD OSBORN Patriot (1775-1778) Revolutions ultimately conclude with a large scale resolution in the major political, social, and economic issues raised by the upheaval. During the final two years of the American Revolution, William Preston struggled to anticipate and participate in the emerging American regime. For Preston, the American Revolution involved two challenges--Indians and Loyalists. The outcome of his struggles with both groups would help determine the results of the Revolution in Virginia. If Preston could keep the various Indian tribes subdued with minimal help from the rest of Virginia, then more Virginians would be free to join the American armies fighting the English. But if he was unsuccessful, Virginia would have to divert resources and manpower away from the broader colonial effort to its own protection. The other challenge represented an internal one. A large number of Loyalist neighbors continually tested Preston's abilities to forge a unified government on the frontier which could, in turn, challenge the Indians effectivel y and the British, if they brought the war to Virginia. In these struggles, he even had to prove he was a Patriot. Preston clearly placed his allegiance with the revolutionary movement when he joined with other freeholders from Fincastle County on January 20, 1775 to organize their local county committee in response to requests by the Continental Congress that such committees be established.

  • The Soul Searchers

    The Soul Searchers

    THE SOUL SEARCHERS This hard­swinging band from Des Moines, Iowa, plays more than 100 dates a year in Des Moines and neighboring small towns and cities including Ames, Iowa City, and Omaha, and Minneapolis. Playing originals and lesser­known music by the likes of T­Bone Walker, Freddie King, and Otis Rush, The Soul Searchers create a smooth, groove­based blend of blues, jazz, rockabilly, and surf music. The band has won the Iowa Blues Challenge, has appeared on the mainstage at Davenport’s Mississippi Valley Blues Festival, has performed several Jazz in July concerts, and has been featured on Iowa Public Radio and Iowa Public Television. The band's core members include guitarist/singer Scott Eggleston, upright bassist Erich Gaukel, and drummer Mark Grimm. When the band performs as a quartet or quintet, they are joined by saxophonist Nathan Peoples (also with the The Blue Band) and/or pianist/organist Neil Stoffregen (also with The Nadas). In its annual international competition for the best self­produced blues album, The Memphis­based Blues Foundation named The Soul Searchers self­titled CD one of top­10 self­produced blues albums. To date, the CD has been sold in 13 countries. Here are what the critics said about the CD: "Whether it’s a five­course meal, or a romantic interlude, or sultry blues, anticipation is what stimulates the senses and makes the payoff rewarding. Such is the case with Des Moines’ hippest blues band, The Soul Searchers. It took the group about 15 years to record its full­length album, but in the end, it doesn’t disappoint.
