SCHOOL BOARD To have a school which functions smoothly, we must have a line Work- ing and cooperating school board. All of our problems, needs, and sug- gestions for improvement in our school, we take up with them and ask for solutions, which they readily give. We are fortunate in having Hne members this year.

BUS DRIVERS The drivers of the buses who cheerfully carry the country students back and forth to school are pictured above. They are from left to right: Forest Penner, Ira Mohr, Allan Williams, Durward Keck, Athol Stucky, Virgil Adams and Dean Price. Whenever the band, glee clubs, baseball team, basketball team or some other organ ization is going somewhere, one of these men gladly takes them on their journey. They are cheerful, kind, helpful and full of fun at all fi ' 'ii A times, even when they are reprimanding some occupant to i sit down or move over and make room for some one else. I am sure everyone and every organization would be at a - -X loss Without them. I CUSTODIAN The man who cleans up, repairs, and Hnds all lost articles is Dennis Bidlack, the custodian. He is always at hand to Hx all things. As his helper there is the good-natured Bozie Harris who can always be found sweeping the assembly, right after school.

No matter how minor the everyday occurrences in our lives may seem, yet we ourselves know that it is these trivial things which really constitute the history of our lives. We, the Senior Class, will soon end the history of our school days, but in return we will be privileged to think back and read the history of the class of '4l. In 1937 forty-nine freshmen first made a memorable path through the rooms of Oak- wood High School. It didn't take us long to make new friends and the initiation by the Sophomores made us shoulder new responsibilities that we had never tackled before. The honor of Class President was bestowed upon Walter Harris with a reliable group to work with: Vice President, Vivian Hornish, Secretary-Treasurer, Keith Matson, Reporters, Barbra Maddock and James Andrews. Miss Chase was selected as our Class Advisor. The class selected the American Beauty Rose as the class flower and scarlet and gray as our colors. We chose a motto which we thought would help us to stick together as a class, Onward ever, backward never. Our Sophomore year found forty-five of the class still traveling the road. The high light of the year was the presentation of the class play, HIGH SCHOOL MYSTERY. The group chosen to head the class was: President, Dick Robnolteg Vice President, Mary Ann Thrasherg Secretary-Treasurer, Donald Burtg Reporter, Barbra Maddock. Mr. Baumgardner was selected Class Advisor. There were a few members dropped out but Victor Loney, Junior Rickner, and Kenneth Spencer filled their places. Through the co- operation of the class we had a very successful year. This was the third year of that never-to-be-forgotten journey. With the following group: President, Donald Burt, Vice President, Lois Richardsong Secretary-Treasurer, Dick Robnolteg Reporter, Evalena Shaipg Advisor, Miss Pierce, we had a splendid year. Also with Vivian Hornish as Party Chairman we had a lot of fun. Donald Burt as the UABSENT-MINDED PROFESSOR in our class play was one of the big hits. The finishing of our task for the year was the Junior-Senior banquet. We were now on the last mile of our way. As usual the year was packed with many important events. Ofiicers of the year were: President, Donald Burtg Vice President, Walter Harrisg Secretary-Treasurer, Keith Matsong Party Chairman. Evalena Sharp, Ad- visor, Miss Pierce. We worked together toward one aim, the trip to Washington. CRASH- ING SOCIETY, the class play, was a great hit, and last but not least the Junior-Senior banquet was given in our honor. The end of the journey through high school has come and we are separated as class- mates but let us ever be friends! Page Seventeen lisa CLASS WILL We, the Senior Class of 1941, of Oakwood High School, Village of Oakwood, County of Paulding, State of Ohio, United States of America, being of sound mind, memory and understanding, and considering the frail and transitory life do herewith and hereby conceive this our Last Will and Testament in the manner and form as follows: First: We leave to this our beloved place of learning the happy memories of the Class of '41.

ROLLAND NOGGLE Vice Pres. KENNETH THOIWAS Advisor - - MR. ALLENSWORTH The first outstanding deed of the year was the purchasing of a public-address system in November. Then in December, how proud everyone felt when they flashed their class rings in the sunlight. On March ll was the presentation of our class play, PlGTAILS. It proved to be very successful in spite of the weather, and pushed us on to our goal of fund-raising for the Junior-Senior banquet. Cn May 16. topping all successful events, the Juniors honored the worthy Seniors with the superb banquet. Throughout the year a number of parties, both house and skating, were held. There was a Hallowelen party at Gae Jones' and a Christmas party at Norma Kohart's. Thus our year ended and it is with high expectations we are looking forward to our next and last year of high school life.

The class motto is, We came to finish the task, and the flower is the Snapdragon. There are many opportunities ahead, and We are certain that the Sophomores are going to make the most of them all.

Twenty-five pupils rushed in, trying to secure a particular seat beside his or her friend. Throughout the year we enjoyed every one of the lights, mixups, and all of the other Schoolday happenings. First we elected our officers and advisor. The results were: President - - ALICE RICKNER Secretary - JOHN SToUi-'FEB Vice President BILLY ROBNOLTE Treasurer - MAE HUNT Class Advisor - - - - - - - Miss Domus With class business settled we were ready for work. But with all the woik one needs some fun which our class has had by having numerous class parties, which we all enjoyed very much. With a little effort we managed to get through our state tests. Now, as we come to the end of another school term, we are all looking forward to be- ing Ugreen freshmen and our initiation into High School.

Bobby Deatrick SEVENTH GRADE School opened on September 5, 1940, with many of us wishing that it weie the last day, instead of the first, but most of us were glad that it was the beginning of a new year.

Our classes were inter- esting and exciting with Miss Dodds teaching English and history, Mr. Newdome, arith- metic and geographyg Miss Pierce. music: Miss Chase, Home Economicsg and Mr. Baum- gardner, industrial arts.

It meant making adjustments to countless new situations, but when those adjustments were made they soon found this new life far different and exciting than their little minds had even imagined. The thrill of being able to do things for themselves and of mastering the small things, was further enhanced by the thrill of anticipating, as well as experiencing, those special days-holidays-as important as any-birth- days of one another. Soon came the end of their first school year and next will find them striving just as earnestly to master the goals set up for them to attain in Grade Two, carrying with them the unforget- table memories of their first year. SECOND GRADE What could be nicer than twenty-seven boys and girls in the Second Grade for the school year 1940-41? We have had many good times working together on our school projects such as the collecting of leaves in the fall, the making of Christmas gifts for our parents, the collecting of bird pictures in the spring and the making of booklets which we will display at the Paulding County Fair. Too, we must not forget the fun we had celebrating our birthdays and the parties we had on Hallowe'en, Christmas, Valentine's Day, and Easter. THIRD AND FOURTH GRADES The long-looked-for day had arrived at last! Twenty-seven third grade boys and girls, with fourteen fourth graders hurried to school. They were eager to greet friends, see the new teacher and try the feel of the new room. Everyone went to work with a will and before we realized it Hallowe'cn slipped up on us with its ghosts, pumpkin faces, and catcall. Then came Thanksgiving and Christmas. For our share in the Christmas program we made a Living Christmas Tree. Soon after Christmas came mid-year exams, We felt very grown-up, because we had never before had real exams. Some time later we gave a play for the Institute. Now. we are looking forward to the last day picnic, promotion cards, and summer va- cation. FOURTH AND FIFTH GRADES There were thirty-six in our room this year. We have had an enjoyable time with special projects in geography and history, painting, and soap-carving. Those who received perfect spelling scores for a period of six weeks were given pencils. The pupils most frequently on the honor roll during the year were Laura Grimes, Dick Stover, Ned Sharp and Elizabeth Rees. SIXTH GRADE In September. at the opening of school twenty eager boys and girls found seats in the sixth grade room where they were to work and play together for nine months. Nine months seemed a long time then, but looking back now the period seems all too short and we can hardly realize that soon we will be enjoying summer vacation. During this term we have taken hikes, made nature books, helped with the fall music festival and started a safety patrol in addition to learning our regular lessons. We especially liked our spelling contests this year. Each six weeks we chose sides and on each Friday we averaged the spelling grades for each side. At the end of the period we averaged the averages and the losing side prepared and gave a program for the winning side. The contests have been close and we have had lots of fun. Now we are thinking of next year when we will be seventh graders and in high school.

Forty-five girls have had fun and found comradeship in the organization this year-an organization which has been one of the most successful in years. Again the high light of the year was the annual Christmas service. The church with its lighted candles, the smell of evergreen, and the chorus of girls singing O Come, All Ye Faithful, brought the Christmas spirit into everyone's heart. The Glee Club also appeared at the Melrose and Oakwood Institutes, the Arthur Church, and completed the year with an Easter Cantata given at the U. B, Church. A Mixed Choir was organized again this year, consisting of thirty members. These members were chosen to go to Paulding for the Annual Music Festival under the direction of Mr. Louis Pete. The following are the oflicers of the Glee Club: President - - PHYLLIS BURT Vice President - DONNA RICHARDSON Sec.-Treas.

The organization consists of: President - - WYALTER HARRIS Sec.-Treas. - - ROLLAND NOGGLE Vice President - CHARLES GRIMES Librarian - - KENNETH THOMAS These have been consistent in their efforts to make this a record year. Perhaps the most outstanding achievement of the year was the participation in the Paulding County Music Festival. Here the boys joined other boys from the county in singing difficult, but Worth-while music. under the capable direction of Louis E. Pete. It was an event always to be remembered. Christmas, Farmers' Institutes at Melrose and Oakwood, and an appearance at Com- mencement have given the group conlidence in their ability to sing and have made the rernark Usinging is fun a reality.

This year the band has shown much improvement and is proud of its achievements. The first fall event in which the band participated was the Ox Roast which was held at Ft. Brown. At the contest held at the County Fair, we received second prize in Class C. A fine showing was made at the Sugar Festival at Paulding in October. In March, a program was given in the school for the purpose of promoting interest in band work. The band played several numbers and the following special numbers were given: Majorette Exhibition, Betty Badmang Trombone Solo, Keith Matsong Clarinet Quartet, Indiana State Championsg talk by Mr. Kretzinger. One of the things the band members always look forward to is the Annual Peony Festival at Van Wert. With a new Street March, better T instrumentation, and more training, the band should make a fine showing. Special honors in band go to Keith Matson, Kathryn Sharp, and Helen Harmon who won in their respective solo contests at Ada.

We started the year out by beating Latty by a score of 17 to 15. Next we met Mark Center and took them to town by a score of 18 to 14. Our third game was with Ottawa. It was a close game but our aim held true. We then advanced to Grover Hill, our old rival, and easily scored a victory. We met Continental and our winning streak was broken. Then we met Farmer and suffered another defeat. Haviland, how- ever, was a different story. We beat them by a small score of 14 to 6. Our next opponent was Hoaglin and we lost to a good team. Paulding came next and beat us by 11 points. This was a bad defeat so we took our revenge out on Ney by beating them in two over- times. Paulding, Antwerp, Continental, Antwerp gave us four defeats in a row. Latty came next, however, without much trouble, we beat them. Haviland and Grover Hill gave us our two last defeats of the season. Payne, our last opponent, put up a hard battle but we were determined to win and we did. Our most thrilling game no doubt was the Payne game. At the half we were only leading by one point. At the end of the third quarter the score was tied. With about twenty seconds to go of the fourth quarter, we broke the tie with a long shot from the side of the floor and won the game by two points. INTRAMURAL SPORTS Each class tried to prove their superiority in activities that required team work, class spirit and sportsmanship. The distinction of accumulating more points than any other class goes to the Seniors, while other classes were close in standings. Next year the Intramural program willbe started much sooner. Due to the construc- tion of the Physical Education dressing room, activities were delayed in the Intramural program.

With good hard practice and not too much over-confidence, this big rangy team should go places. Young material seems to be coming up in great quantitiesg so much that they are making the older boys step to get their positions. This competition will make a more evenly balanced. stronger team than Oakwood has seen for some time. The tournament is to be held at Antwerp. Pm sure this team, under the fine guid-- ance of Coach Newdome, will be batting their Way to the Sectional. SCORES Date Opponent We They September 13... ...,... Latty ..... .... . 5 .........

We are very proud of them as cheerleaders and we think they performed in grand style. All the good qualities of good cheerleaders are pos- sessed by them. Poise, ability, cheerfulness, and good looks. They made the fans cheer like they never cheered before and it was agreed by many people at the Sectional Tour- nament at Leipsic that Jo Ann and Wilma were the best cheerleaders seen at that tourna- ment in years. We will never forget the part they played in bringing the league title and tournament championship back to Oakwood High School. MANA GERS Our managers have done an excellent job this year. They were always on hand when needed. Some people think that being a manager is an easy job, but it isn't. Just ask any of the managers and they will tell you that it is a real job to take care of all the equip- ment alone to say nothing of doing their numerous other duties. The managers should be given credit as well as the players. Their work was faultless and We should be proud of them. Left to Right-Earl Adams. Jack Williams, Keith Keck.

T he Dunnigan's home in New York City CRASHING SOCIETY was a hilarious comedy starring Don Burt and LaDonna Coil as Adam and Elsie Dunnigan, plain old country folks, who inherited a million dollars and took their children, George, Marguerite, and Christabel, played by Richard Robnolte, Evalena Sharp, and Mary Ann Thrasher respectively, to the city of New York. While in the city they acquired a butler responding to the ridiculous name of Scruples-Scruples, played by Bernard Keck. In the course of trying to lose his million Adam meets Mr. and Mrs. Van Witherspoon portrayed by Harold Mead and Lois Richardson with whom he in- vested his million and made five million. Also Adam Dunnigan, wife, and children are supposed to have been entertained by a perfectly horrible singer, Agatha Mulrooney, known to you as Doris Dindot. In this play We must not forget the laughable scenes presented by Elsie Mae Grimes cast as Miss Gadgett and Jean Fuller as Miss Louise Miller. Adam Dunnigan and family finally returned to the country where they belonged.

BAUMGARDNER Every married man has a mother-in-law and a herd he refers to as, my wife's fam- ily, unless he's lucky enough to have married an orphan. Of course, all mothers-in-law are not of the t'deadly species. Some are very congenial and nice, but alas! there's the other kind, the kind who insists on not only ruling her own roost, but forcibly managing the marital affairs of her daughter. Heaven help the poor husband who is unlucky enough to have drawn such a terror in the lottery of wedlock! It's screamingly funny to the by- stander, but it's no joke to the suffering husband! There's an old saying to the effect that the course of true love never ran smooth, and there are mothers-in-law who are de- termined to prove it to be a fact. They dictateg they nag: they intrude at the most in- opportune time. They look upon their daughter as a poor martyr who has sacrificed her entire life by marrying the man of her choice: who, obviously, was not mothers choice! Such a mother-in-law is Arabella Nagg, the wife's mother, in My Wife's Fam- ily, the screamingly funny farce-comedy presented by the Oakwood Faculty in the school auditorium, November 6, 1940. Arabella visits her son-in-law, Jack Gay. and things hum! As we've said before, one man's despair is anotherys amusement, and while poor Jack is in a state over his mother-in-law's visit, the audience was roaring with laughter. Page Forty-seven ACI-IIEVEMENTS For every job worth doing there must be sacrifices made, time spent, and effort ex- pended. The class of 1941 can be proud of their achievements. They have done a job, and it has been found goodg they have made sacrifices and in making them have found the finer things of lifeg they have spent time and extended effort and in doing so have found satisfaction. This year indeed is one to be pointed to with pride and it seems only fitting that we pay tribute where tribute is due.

Why K 'R fm S xe: 3' Vg should it have any effect upon our lives and our eiex Q success? Is it such an important character that if F4405 it should determine our profession, and make it a success or a failure? Our dictionary tells us that ' ,A , gif? , personality means that which distinguishes one . j person from another person-individuality. This , . H means the habits and traits a person has, the way I -t-p Q M, in which he goes about his work and the attitude ,. 41' Q he takes toward all things in general. We sometimes think that all it takes to get some place in life is to be able to do a certain thing exceptionally well. Does this mean that a person has personality? Does this mean that a person can always ind work because he knows his trade so well? In most cases it does not. If this person has no initiative, if he cannot go ahead and be friendly--meet new people, be able to talk intelligently with all people, he cannot be a success. You may ask what a person must be or do to have personality. The first thing is to mingle with people and take part in social affairs in your community or school. Donit sit back and Wish, after several years, that you had taken more part in things when it is too late to do anything about it. Next, one should always use the best of English while talk- ing to people in any surrounding, Whether it be in a crowd or alone. Your manners should always be proper. If you get angered by something a person has done, don't go to pieces and make a spectacle of yourself, use some tactful way of dismissing the whole thing. Then your appearance has much to do with your personality. If you appear to be too dressed up or look gaudy, it gives a bad impression and does not show good taste. If you wear clothing that does not stand out and make you conspicuous, you will be better liked. If you have all of these traits you will have personality. If personality is lacking in the best of people, something very great is lost. Yes, personality has its effect upon life and success. If you want to be a great suc- cess, have personalityg if you Wish personality, be a success. K. 'V 4 .4-I f 1 V 1-,, - 1' F ,-ff' U ,la , . , x ' .yr ' 1 v 4 .
