  • BRIEF HISTORY of the IOWA HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION the Iowa High School Athletic Association Had Its Origin in the Iowa High School Principals Club
    BRIEF HISTORY OF THE IOWA HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION The Iowa High School Athletic Association had its origin in the Iowa High School Principals Club. At a meeting of the Club in 1903, a committee was appointed to draft a series of rules and regulations for the general and definite control of high school athletics throughout the state. This committee, consisting of Forest C. Ensign, Council Bluffs, as Chairman and Maurice Ricker, Burlington, presented its report at the annual meeting of the Principals Club in 1904, when it was adopted by the Club. At a called meeting of the Superintendents and Principals, December 28,1904, the Iowa High School Athletic Association was formed, and the aforesaid rules and regulations herein following were unanimously adopted. D.A. Thornburg, Grinnell; George Edward Marshall, Sioux City; and Frank L Smart, Dubuque, were elected members of the Board of Control to serve one, two, and three years, respectively. Upon the removal of Superintendent Thornburg from the state in July, A.V. Storm, Cherokee, was chosen to fill the vacancy. At a meeting of the Association in Des Moines, December 28,1905, Superintendent Storm was elected a member of the Board of Control to serve three years and several amendments were made to the Rules and Regulations. At a meeting in Des Moines, December 26,1906, R.S. Whitley was elected to the Board of Control vice George Edward Marshall, whose term had expired. September 21,1907, A.V. Storm and Frank L. Smart resigned, and M.M. Bedall, Boone, and R.B. Crone, Washington, were appointed to fill vacancies.
