Mrs. Phyllis Mohr returned to work at the Auglaize- Brown School on January 2, 1963. All of the stu- dents, especially the office help, would like to take this opportunity to thank Mrs. Mohr for her help and consideration with the office duties. The office help consisted of several high school girls in addition to the full-time secretary. Their duties ranged from answering the telephone to typing important papers. These girls deserve much credit for their help throughout the year. FIRST ROW: Mrs. Mohr, Judy Burt, Jenolyn Bradford, Suzann Shisler.

We discovered that Miss Williams and Mrs. Gillett were to be our home- room teachers. Those who answered the roll were: Mary Aden, Linda Andrews, Donald Bauer, Judith Burt, Larry Carnahan, Cheryl Cooper, Judith Delaney, Charles Doster, Jean Farris. Stuart Ferris. Paul Finnegan, Betty Fohner, Darhl Fuller, Judith Fuller, James Hahn, Judith Horner, Karen Jacobs, Alan Kohart, Joe Lawrence, James Lloyd, Carla McClure, Carol Mobley, Jerry Mob- ley, Robert Moore, Joe Parrish, Betty Pessefall. Gaylord Proxmire, Donna Rau, Jerry Retcher, Jo Ann Risley, Rita Boughton, Oliver Schlegal, Carolyn Schwaderer, Judith Sharp, Marilyn Sharp, Phillip Sherry, Suzann Shisler, Judith Sickmiller, Bonita Spen- cer, Gary Stork, Kathryn Sue Stover, James Taylor, Henry Thomas, Ruth Warner. Otis Wilder. We elected the following officers: President, Judy Delaney,; Vice President. Mary Aden; Secretary, Linda Andrews; Treasurer, Joe Parrish; News Reporter, Cheryl Cooper; Student Council Representative, Carla McClure. We became full-fledged high school members when we were initiated by the Sophomores on October 11. In September of 1960, we returned as Sophomores. Our advisors were Mr. Cook and Mr. Bowsher. Those students not returning were Larry Carnahan, Charles Doster, Paul Finnegan. Jerry Mobley. Oliver Schlegal, Judith Sharp, Marilyn Sharp, and Phil- lip Sherry. Our class officers were: President, Mary Aden; Vice President, Jerry Retcher; Secretary, Judy Delaney; Treasurer, Alan Kohart; News Reporter, Cheryl Cooper; Student Council Representative, Carla McClure. In September of 1961, we entered as very busy Juniors. Those not returning were Betty Fohner, Carol Mobley, Donna Rau, Ruth Warner, and Otis Wilder. Our advisors were Mr. Woodring and Miss McQuilkin. Our class officers were: President, Darhl Fuller; Vice President, Jerry Retcher; Secretary, Alan Kohart; Treasurer, Gaylord Proxmire; News Reporter, Robert Moore; Student Council Representative, Carla Mc- Clure. In October, we received our class rings and were very proud of them. On April 6, 1962, we presented our play, Strictly Formal under the direction of Mr. Outland. On May 12, we presented the Junior-Senior Prom with the theme Oriental Gardens. Finally in September of 1962. we returned to OHS as happy and excited Seniors. Our advisors were Mr. Rohrs and Mr. Boyd. Those students not returning were Linda Andrews, Jim Hahn, Joe Lawrence, Jim Taylor, and Henry Thomas. During the year, we lost Jo Ann Risley and Donald Bauer. We were happy to welcome back to our class this year Ruth Warner and Betty Fohner. Our class officers for the year were: Presi- dent, Darhl Fuller; Vice President, Jerry Retcher; Secretary, Judy Delaney; Treas- urer, Gaylord Proxmire; News Reporter, Carolyn Schwaderer; Student Council Rep- resentative, Alan Kohart. In November, we presented our play, Ask Any Girl, under the direction of Mr. Roughton. We had our Senior pictures taken in October, and re- ceived them around Christmas time. We chose light blue and white as our class colors and the white carnation as our flower. Our motto was The Present Decides the Future. ' On May 4, 1963, the Juniors presented us with a beautiful prom entitled, On a Tropic Isle. Our Baccalaureate was held on May 19, and our Commencement on May 22. On May 26, we left on our trip to Washington, D,C. accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. Dunlap. We shall never forget these happy hours we spent together at OHS. 1963 CLASS PROPHECY My-oh-my-Nothing is more delightful after a snack of warm milk and toast then spend- ing a beautiful afternoon in Central Park watching the going-ons. You see, we, JUDY BURT and CHERYL COOPER are what the public commonly term as (uh) old maids. As we accidently look over the tops of our newspapers we cannot help noticing a group of campfire girls who are marching down the middle of the sidewalk carrying signs with the words, fifty miles or bust. Following the girls are the leaders who are riding on motor skooters. Why, that ' s KAREN JACOBS and JEAN FERRIS. Talking with them we find that they are carrying out the physical fitness program for President DARHL E. FULLER. Looking through the New York Times, we find that a nightclub called Al ' s Joint, owned by ALAN KOHART was raided by the vice squad last night, (and Alan seemed like such a quiet boy in school!) Now this classmate, MARY ADEN has done very well. Mary receives a thousand dollars a week just for showing her big smile and stating My group had twenty-one fewer cavities with CRUST. JUDY FULLER, the Wallstreet Wizard had struck it rich again with an investment in the Snap -Crackle gum company. Noticing a large crowd milling around some strange object in the park, we temporar- ily leave our bench to join the crowd. The center of attraction appears to be a space cap- sule. The door opens and out crawls BETTY PESSEFALL. The crowd begins to scatter because of a very weird and frightening noise that is coming this way, but running away is unnecessary because it ' s only Judy Delaney and her Salvation Army band. It ' s time for STUART FERRIS to come walking through the park on his way to the Yankee Stadium. You see, Stuart has finally made a place for himself in the world of sports. Stuart is the dugout custodian for the New York Yankees. We are approached by a beatnik complete with leotards and bongo drums, and reciting poetry. This beatnik, CAROLYN SCHWADERER, stops reciting just long enough to tell us that an old friend of hers, SUZANN SHISLER, is doing very well with her new job as the head of the Boys ' Reform School at Washington, D.C. Things seem to be moving fairly slow in the park, so we return to our newspapers. In the society page, we note that RUTH WARNER, America ' s First Lady of Etiquette has written her third best seller called HOW TO LOOK NICE WITHOUT TRYING. Now here is an interesting article about one of our old classmates. BONNIE SPENCER has disappeared and is thought to have been captured by some African natives. You see, Bonnie is a missionary. Sitting under a tree are JERRY RETCHER and GARY STORK who eagerly tell us about their latest experiment on their experimental farm . They claim that if they cross a cow with a dachshund, the cow ' s a ' draggin ' ! Our attention is then drawn to a very loud voice coming from a lady standing on a soap-box in the niddle of the park. As we ap- proached this rapid-speaking person, we discovered that she is RITA ROUGHTON who is now a lady auctioneer. She is surrounded by antiques and the only one buying them is and old classmate, SUSIE STOVER. Susie tells us that Judy Sickmiller and her little volkswagon could never part, and that they are traveling throughout the country win- ning trophies in dragraces. Susie also tells us that CARLA McCLURE , who is now a government worker, has persuaded the internal revenue department to give green stamps with tax returns to make taxes more enjoyable. As we return to our bench, we see Rockin ' ROBERT MOORE mobbed by teenage girls. Robert ' s new song, The Worm, has become the national dance craze. In the newspaper we see that authorities have finally caught up with BETTY FOHNER, the notorious car -bumper -bender, but again she has been released from arrest because of her famous lawyer, JOE PERRY MASON PAJR.RISH. JUDY HORNER has been named Mother of the Year because of her ability to take care of her ten children and run a practical joke shop in her spare time. Well it is getting late now, and we must return home to see our favorite television program, An Evening With GAYLORD PROXMIRE. 20 CLASS WILL ITEM I We, the graduating class of 1963, leave to our successors, now known as Juniors, our position as Seniors. We realize it will tax them greatly to maintain this position as ef- ficiently as we have maintained it, but we trust their sense of responsibility will enable them to do it satisfactorily. To the O.H.S. students we leave those dingy pink walls we have been staring at for the past few years. ITEM II To the faculty we leave our sincere sympathy, for we realize fully that no one can take our place, but we hope there will be enought exceptional students in other classes to make up for our absence.

They began with numbers and A B C ' s; This was only part of their destinies. At last, their first big task did arise; It was the eighth grade test for the girls and guys. The knew that after that task was done, A larger battle would have to be won. In their high school days, There was much to be done. There were dances, skates, and plays. And then the trip to Washington. And now the time is coming nigh when all the Seniors must say good-bye, so we would like to take this opportunity, to tell you with a line of poetry. After the trip to Washington, What lies ahead? The present decides the future is how our motto read. We hope you will long remember the Class of ' 63. Hope to see all of you next September As the graduates to be. 23 SENIOR We ' re from Oakwood iPMp i Where ' s the Tribe? Right this way.

They began the year with a Sadie Hawkins Dance which turned out to be very successful. Oakwood High School pennants were sold and the annual candy bar sale was again encountered.
