xx' OAK FRESHMAN HISTORY HE Class of 1932 was organized September, 1928. However, class officers were not elected until December. It seemed desirable that the members of the class become well acquainted before this step was taken. A nominating committee was named and from the candidates chosen, the following officers were elected: Keith Bucher, presidentg Clarence Carroll, vice-presidentg Susan Hauck, secretary, and Hal Kafka, treasurer. The freshmen became active in Lafayette affairs immediately. At the Fun Fest they gave a circus at their side-show. Also as the result of the ticket selling contest this class was entitled to have its name engraved on the Fun Fest Cup. Moreover, because of the results oi this contest the freshman candidate, Keith Bucher, was crowned King of the Fun Fest. This honor was one that continued throughout the school year. The freshman auditorium program was presented January 19, 1929. A play entitled When Father was Left Alone was given. Clarence Carroll played the leading part in this. Others who took part were: Ardeta Merrill, Allene Fogarty, Bernard Felling, John Paul Jones, Edgar Rhoades, Leila Luttrell, Florence Haber, and Lillian Chesnut. A specialty dance was given by Helen Arnold, who was accompanied by Moila Miller. The freshmen class is proud of its record thus far, and it hopes to continue next year the work so well started.

Y-ff 54, 2 FOOTBALL The nucleus of the 1928 football team was a group of nine last year's letter men. Reserves of the preced- ing year's team were added to the squad. The first game was played at Beth- any, Mo. Early in the game Parvin blocked a punt and Michel picked it up and ran for a touchdown. Litz kicked goal and that ended scoring for the day. This was Bethany's first defeat in two years. Score, 7-0. Old Man Hard Luck made his appearance in the first home game which the C. B. H. S. team won 12-6. Penny scored the Shamrock counter in the first half but the Golden Eagle team came back in the second half and converted two Lafayette misplays into touchdowns. In the Central game Lafayette did what other city teams have been try- ing to do for four years-score on Central. Penny was the player who OAK scored for the Shamrocks after a long run of about seventy yards. Central soon overcame this lead and won by a score of 39-7. Didlo, Farnan, and Sanders played well for Lafayette's team. Lafayette next fell victim to Savan- nah, 6-2. The interurban town team proved to be the better mud hens and won after a long and hard battle. The Shamrock score was the result of a safety. The losing streak continued over into the St. Benedict game and the green and gray clad warriors lost to the Atchison crew, 6-0. Lafayette showed a good defense and played tricky football but cou1dn't score. Captain Farnan and Litz were the outstanding players for Lafayette. The Green and Gray tide was not to be held back and the team from the down-river city, East High, was held back'on the short end of a 12-8 score. Two passes from Sanders to Litz accounted for the Shamrock scores, while East scored one touch- down and a safety. Sanders, Litz and Captain Smith were Lafayette's best bets. iff? Page Forty 1910
