Delaney Orewiler, Arts Reporter
West High School junior Shreya Khullar will be inducted as the state of Iowa’s first student poet ambassador on April 30, the last day of National Poetry Month. Her role will involve running workshops, reading poetry, and being a face for young poets in Iowa.
When Khullar found out she was chosen for the role, she said she felt ecstatic.
“I was overwhelmed at first, but I think now I’m growing into the role as we’re doing more stuff with it,” Khullar said. “I was shocked, as it is a new program. I was surprised, grateful, and confused, and overall just happy.”
This year is a pilot year for the student poet ambassador program, which was created by Jan Warren, assistant director for student services at the Belin-Blank Center on the University of Iowa campus. Warren said she was motivated by seeing the youngest inaugural poet, Amanda Gorman, speak at President Joe Biden’s inauguration and decided to try to make a positive impact by starting a student poet ambassador program in Iowa.
“I was thinking about what I could do to make a difference in the state of Iowa around poetry and young writers,” Warren said. “The right words at the right time can have an incredible impact, and I think this program with Shreya as our ambassador is the right program at the right time with the right person.”
While coordinating in February, Warren sat down with John Kenyon, director of the Iowa City UNESCO City of Literature, and Alison Galstad, a UNESCO board member. From there, the three came up with a plan to have the first student poet ambassador inaugurated by the end of the month, Warren said.
The process of choosing Iowa’s first student poet ambassador involved pulling the top three Iowa contestants from the poetry category of the Scholastic Arts and Writing awards. After selecting the poets, their works were blindly reviewed by those who made up the student ambassador poet committee. Next, they were interviewed, and in the end, Khullar came out as the top candidate.
Both Kenyon and Galstad, members of the committee, agreed that what stood out most about Khullar’s poetry was its maturity.
“The fact that it was written by a high school student was pretty staggering when you look at the quality of the imagery and the language used and the things that she was writing about,” Kenyon said. “It was a sophisticated perspective of a young person and one that I thought used language very beautifully. I got a sense that she understood the mechanics of poetry in a way that made her a really good fit for this position.”
Khullar said that she is constantly trying to expand her poetry horizons by reading different forms and experimenting with her own style. In the future, Khullar plans to attend college, continue to work on her poetry, and eventually publish her own books. In words of advice to those who look up to her, Khullar said to read constantly.
“The biggest piece of advice I have is really just to read constantly. It doesn’t have to be super academic. Of course, I’ve read classic novels, but I’m reading Twilight right now and I’m having such a good time,” Khullar said. “Reading constantly expands your worldview and improves your vocabulary. Reading is the best thing you can do for your writing and your mental health.”

An account of the resource
A group of seven University of Iowa students and football players pose for a photograph. The young men wear their football uniforms and grin at the different cameras taking their pictures. Two of the young men kneel while the other five stand behind; the student standing in the middle rests his arms on the shoulders of the kneeling players.
Front row, left to right: Matt Rogers & Jeff Skillet
Back row, left to right: Jon Filoon, Rob Baxley, Mike Saunders, Brian Wise, & John Derby (Wiederrecht-Finke, p. 56).
Larry and Judy (Howe) Smith, owners and managers of the Blue Top Motel, were part of the University of Iowa Town Hawk Program. In this program, they acted as a local family for college students who came from other parts of the country to play on the University football team. Larry and Judy met and befriended football players who would often come to visit the Blue Top Motel. One such cohort became known as the 'Refrigerator Boys.'
Larry and Judy described the following two reasons this particular group of football players were called 'The Refrigerator Boys' in the book "The Blue Top Motel": "We had large magnets made, one for each boy - black enamel, 12 inches square - with the player's name and jersey printed in gold. The magnets were placed on our refrigerator... The 'Refrigerator Boys' also had the habit of holding the refrigerator open while they looked for something to eat" (Wiederrecht-Finke, p. 56).

An account of the resource
The back of Lois Wiederrecht-Finke as she studies at a desk in a Blue Top Motel cottage. A rotary phone sits on the desk to her left; a turned on lamp to the right.<br /><br />As a commuter student to the University of Iowa, she stayed at the Blue Top once a week. Upon learning the owners Larry and Judy (Howe) Smith planned to close down the business, she began a project of taking photographs to document and preserve the motel (Wiederrecht-Finke, p. xv-xvi). These photographs were later featured in a book titled <em>The Blue Top Motel</em>, published in 2003.

Description
An account of the resource
Taken from behind the batter, this image shows a boy preparing his bat to swing. Another boy can be seen on at the pitcher's spot, arm in the air but hand empty. The ball floats midair between the two players. Further back, more boys can be seen in various base and field positions. All wear jeans and tee shirts, and do not appear to have gloves.
While this is likely to be an informal softball game between friends and classmates, Coralville students also eventually had the opportunity to play through Little League, started in 1958 by Joe Gaeta through the Recreation Department and sponsored by the Optimist Club (Walch, p. 91; Lovetinsky et al., p. 57, 74).

An account of the resource
Ethel Jaynes, a Coralville student, stands facing away from the camera at the baseball game in front of her. Her left hand fitted into a glove and her right hand pushing back her hair, she waits for the ball to be hit where she stands in the center outfield. The rest of the players - all boys - can be seen running a play in the infield.
According to Tim Walch, the petroleum storage containers seen in the distance were owned at the time by Williams Brothers Pipe Line Company (Walch, p. 91).

Description
An account of the resource
A photograph from the front of a classroom, as if from a teacher's perspective. Two rows of desks filled with students line either side of the photograph; boys and girls look down at the open books on their desks. Behind the students is the classroom door and a cork board covered in pictures and other papers.
In the early 1940s, it became apparent that the old Coralville school building was proving to be an insufficient space for the growing population of children that occurred after World War II. Construction began on Coralville Central School in 1948 (Walch, p. 77). By 1951, additions to the school, including a gymnasium, were approved to create even more space (Lovetinsky et al., p. 34).

Description
An account of the resource
Alvin Warren Green was elected Mayor of Coralville in 1937 and held the office for three years. Green was also an engineering student at the University of Iowa during this time, and resigned in January of 1940, after graduating, to move to Peoria, Illinois.
As Mayor, Green oversaw the building of a new fire house and the purchase of a firetruck, the start of garbage collection services, and the beginning of a house numbering system.
Alvin Green was born on January 8, 1904 in Brewster, Colorado. As a United States Marine Corps member, he met Lucy L. Fairchild in Peking, China. They married after returning to the States in August 23, 1930. After graduating from the University of Iowa in 1940, the Greens moved to Peoria, Illinois, and then to Tacoma, Washington. Alvin worked as a environmental engineer in various capacities and taught as a professor at the University of Washington. After Alvin retired in 1954, the Greens became commercial fishermen in southeast Alaska (Lovetinsky et al., p. 78). Alvin died in February of 1983; his wife Lucy survived him by eleven years, dying in April of 1994 (Ancestry Library).

An account of the resource
An image taken inside the Coralville School while class is in session. Students of all ages sit at their desks reading and doing other schoolwork. Blackboards line the back wall.
A bench can be seen on the left hand side of the photograph, closer to the front of the room. According to Vera (Koser) Russell, a student in 1905, this bench would have been directly in front of the teacher's desk and used for class recitations. The room would have also contained a pot-belly stove for warmth in the winter (Lovetinsky et al., p. 31-32).
