30 THE OAK 1925 “Jolly Juniors” The “Jolly Junior Class” of the Oakland High School, regardless of the rumor that they are slow and unprogressive, have contributed enough to schcol athletics and other activities to counteract this statement. Certain individuals have shown great ability in athletics. The two “Little Wolf Brothers,” “Jimmie” and Jonnie,” have held their positions well in every phase of this extra-activity. The class is strongly represented also by “‘Hen’”’ McComas and “Cockey” Miller in soccer, with Jim Wolf as captain of the team. In basket ball the Junicr Class added four very fine players to this year’s team, which surpassed all previous teams of the Oakland High School, and won an enviable reputation for the school. In this game we find, again, the two “Wolf Brothers” hclding their positions as guards with McComas and Pollock as forwards. The two latter won great fame for their wonder- ful shooting and passwork. In baseball the ‘““‘Wolf Brothers” hold their position as pitcher and short- stop, and with John as our star pitcher we have one that is hard to beat. The class of ’26 represents the majority of players in baseball and also takes a great part in all track and field events. But we must not devote too much to athletics as they have done much in other activities. The Third Year English Class elected John Berkheimer as Editor, and with the aid of their teacher, Mrs. Besse, published the first real paper of the Oakland High School, “The Jolly Junior Journal.” They dedicated this paper to the Senior Class. We wish, also, to state that they gave a little play entitled “Whiskers” in which Gladys and Genevieve Gon- der, Walton King, James Wolf and Warder Roy played the principal parts, and raised enough money to present the school with forty dollars. Gladys Gonder has shown herself as outstanding in her class in Dramat- ics (as well as in the use of cosmetics.) She played the leading role in the Glee Club’s big musical comedy, “The Love Pirates of Hawaii,” and was a close second in the High School Declamation Contest. In studies, Julius Renninger has shown his ability in the Academic De- partment as a most praisworthy student, making excellent grades in each of his five studies, while Sara Johnson has done the best work in the Junior Commercial Department. Merle Hamill and Ernest Townshend are also worthy of mention as splendid students. The class of ’25 wishes the best of luck to the class of ’26 in all its un- dertakings throughout its senior year. , “Jolly Juniors,” oh, so fine! All through life, we’re sure you’ll shine.
