We have tried to make it, as near as possible, a true picture of our High School days. At least some of the personality of the class has permeated its pages. It is the record of a group of boys and girls striving for an education and of their efforts to excell in work and play. It presents an account of each member of the class of ’26 so that memories of the past may be kept forever. We wish to extend our utmost appreciation and thanks to those, who by their never tiring efforts and profit- able advice, have made this book possible. LEOOR SSS BARRY HES OVATK DEDICATION To Mr. Wiley W. Jenkins, Vice Principal of the Oakland High School, the Senior Class takes pleasure in dedicating this, the third volume of The Oak in appreciation of his efforts in behalf of the Oakland High School students.

Isabelle West 8 dpe Ee OF ASK MR. H. A. LORADITCH PRESIDENT BOARD OF EDUCATION GARRETT COUNTY. MR. F. E. RATHBUN, SUPERINTENDENT PUBLIC SCHOOLS f GARRETT COUNTY HISTORICAL SKETCH ARRETT County was formed from the western part of Allegany County by an Act of the General Assembly of Maryland passed April 1, 1872, and ratified by a vote of the people at the election held on November 5, 1872. The division was made because Allegany County officials found that it was too expensive and too difficult to collect taxes, summon witnesses and regulate other matters in the remote and unde- veloped parts of the county. Three places—Oakland, McHenry and Grantsville—bid for the county seat. Quite a contest ensued, but Oakland won out. Oakland has grown more rapidly than these other places, becoming the commercial center of the county, thus justifying its selection as the political center as well. In 1877 the County Commissioners awarded a contract to Burton Bush for the erection of a court house. This building was built on a hill overlooking the business section of the town. It may be of interest to note that the County Commissioners at that time were Isaiah Boucher, Henry Winterberg and John E. Gnagey. A jail of red brick was erected at the rear of the court house at the same time. This building was afterwards sold, remodeled and stuccoed. It is now owned by Mrs. Nellie Maffett. Perhaps the most interesting of all events pertaining to the old court house and jail was the conviction, escape, capture and hanging of a negro murderer. It was the only legal execution that ever took place in Garrett County. In 1907, due to the development of the county, it was found that the facilities for handling the business transactions of the county were in- adequate, so in 1907 a contract for a new court house was given out. The present court house was then built and the old structure was not used as a court house again. In 1910 the Oakland High School was transferred from the building now Te deh de) TOP yes 1 9 occupied by the Oakland Grammar School to the old court house, which was then vacant. School continued to be conducted in this building until 1917, when a wind storm destroyed one side of the structure. It was then removed to the Grammar School building and later to the second floor of the Knights of Pythias building, where it continued to be held until 1918, when the present high school building was completed. This building, as it now is, contains ten class rooms and a large assembly hall. It will accommodate approximately 300 pupils. It is ventilated by shafts running from each room to the roof. It has a steam heating system and modern equipment for all the departments. Oakland High School has an unusually large library. It contains more than 700 volumes, including several standard encyclopedia and numerous volumes of history, literature, science, etc. It offers the usual high school courses, including music, agri- culture and home economics. Special attention is given to physical develop- ment through athletics and to public speaking and dramatics. The average daily attendance of O. H. 8. students is over 200. Diplomas are given to those who graduate from the Academic, Commercial and Gen- eral Departments. The Oakland High School is ranked as a First Group High School by the Maryland State Board of Education. For a number of years Oakland High School was under the supervision of Dr. Samuel North, State Supervisor of Maryland Public Schools. Pupils and teachers alike expressed deep regret when they learned that Dr. North would no longer include Garrett County in his supervisory work. Oakland High, particularly, felt that it was losing a personal friend. This year Mr. W. K. Klingaman took Dr. North’s place and the O. H.S. has greatly appre- ciated Mr. Klingaman’s interest and helpful supervision. Much credit is due Mr. F. E. Rathbun, Superintendent of Garrett County public schools, for the present high standing of the schools of the county. Mr. Rathbun has held the office of County Superintendent for the past ten years, and during this long period of service he has been of inestimable value to Garrett County. The Board of Education, with Mr. H. A. Loraditch, president; Mr. R. L. Wilson, vice-president; Mr. J. O. Thayer, associate member, has given Mr. Rathbun its strong support, thus helping to further, with great rapidity, Garrett County’s advance into educational fields. Oakland High School Song (Tune of “Cornell College Song.’’) From Garrett County, from hill and dale, Far rings the story of the glory of O. H. S. From East and West the crashing echoes answering call, Oakland High victorious, the champion of all. Chorus :-Cheer, cheer; here we are again To cheer with all our might; Cheer, cheer; here we are again To cheer for the red and white. Fight, fight, fight— Oakland High School’s colors we’ll defend; Oakland High victorious to the end— We'll hear the echo of our cheer: Oh! here we are, here we are again. 10 TelLighe OrAnk MISS KATHARINE T.

Reverse your steps, young man; This school is run on the system plan.” This is what you will hear in the O. H. 8S. corridors during the change of classes when our Principal, Miss Katharine Conley, directs traffic. She has hinted to us that some day we may find her on the corner of Broadway acting the part of traffic policeman if she gets enough experience in this line at the O. H. 8S. to justify her applying for the position. Miss Katharine is a polished teacher of History and Mathematics, with degrees of A. B. and A. M. She is held in high esteem by the students and faculty and has filled her position admirably as Principal of the O. H. S. Miss Katharine knows that she has the warmest appreciation of all the O. H. S. students, and especially the class of ’26. MR. WILEY W. JENKINS Mr. Jenkins, our “Uncle Wiley,” is one of the finest men in the U. S. A. We are mighty proud of him. He is an excellent teacher and knows every- thing, especially “Mathematics.” Three cheers for Uncle Wiley! !!! MISS LOUISE ARCHER ““A friend in need is a friend indeed.” Surely, Miss Archer is that friend. She is always ready to help every- body in every way (ask James). They even say that she can take a bunch of boys from the “Brush” and with a little brushing, brush them out of the “Brush” into a bunch of fine young gentlemen. MISS LEONA BAER Miss Baer knows a lot. This is Miss Baer’s debut in the “‘gentle” art of teaching. She is a real teacher of Biology and her pupils sure do like her. Although she had to supply herself with the necessary equipment (includ- ing a ruler) for her laboratory department, she has made a success of which an experienced teacher mighty justly be proud. It is said that the State Supervisor was so pleased with her demonstration class that he declared she should have a “raise.” 12 gah SOrATIK MISS KATHRYN BROWN Miss Kathryn Brown is our teacher in Home Economics. She isn’t a very large lady, but she’s a good teacher, just the same. The girls she teaches wouldn’t trade her for any other in the school. One of the Senior boys went down to the “Home Ec” room to get some- thing to eat one day but lost his appetite when he saw on the blackboard a recipe for making some kind of a mouse salad (mousse). MISS RUTH CONLEY We have a Latin teacher of note—Miss Ruth Conley. She can’t do a crossword puzzle in English very well, but just leave it to her to work a Latin crossword puzzle in a jiffy. Julius Caesar himself couldn’t get ahead of her. And as for Music—well, she’s the best little music teacher in the world, and that’s not putting it half strong enough. We could not get along without her when it comes to plays and things like that. O. THOMAS GRASER Mr. “Tommy” Graser is our teacher of Vocational Agriculture and has been with us for three years. He is also the home room teacher of the Freshman boys. He is a great asset to the school. It was due to his efforts that several of his pupils have won prizes at the Frederick and Indianapolis Fairs. He is also an active member of the Court of Honor of the Boy Scouts of Oakland. We are proud of “our Tommy.” MISS EMILY JOHNSON Miss Johnson showed exceptionally good judgment when she asked to be placed in charge of the Academic Seniors. If you are looking for trouble, go to any of the Academic Seniors and make some unfavorable re- mark about Miss Johnson and you will find that for which you seek—a black eye. Miss Johnson is a splendid teacher of History and English and her intellectual parties are great! MISS ISABEL UNDERWOOD Our class adviser is Miss Underwood. She teaches us English, too, and believe us, we’ve had to work some “to get by.” She never minded keep- ing us with our noses to the grind until away after four o’clock in the afternoon. Heartless? No, not at all! Just merely thoroughly inter- ested in us. Miss Underwood surely did give us valuable help in making our Year Book a success. MISS SALLYE BROOKS VANCE Miss Sallye Brooks Vance is a jolly good natured little lady, with sweet Southern ways, which makes her a favorite with all. And that isn’t half of it. When it comes to teaching Commercial subjects, Sallye just can’t be excelled. She i s held in high esteem by all of her pupils. They declare her to be a Kentucky wonder and a blue ribbon winner. The boys say that if all Kentuckians are like her they are going to move down there. iehiekeOFATK Ns. 14 T3HSESS OPASK: “The Seniors know that they know.” — ——— HEEEEEE SRE s iv3 er = Sesteeseseii: ERNEST TOWNSHEND. “The cheerful grin will let you in where the knocker is never known.” ACADEMIC COURSE President Senior Class ’26; Assistant Editor Year Book 726; Theta Kappa ’23; Biology Club ’26; Athletic Associ- ation ’23, ’24, ’25, ’26; Literary Society ’23; Glee Club 24°25, ’26; Junior Assistant Scout Master of B. S. A. Ernest’s jolly disposition has won him an enviable place among the students of the O. H. S. Whenever there is anything to be done, he is always right there to do it. When he first entered the O. H. S. he was terribly bashful, but after being elected President of the Senior Class he soon overcame it and we know he will never be bashful again. tbe ae CARL MW INTIRE “Wonderful Carl.” ACADEMIC COURSE Treasurer Junior Class ’25; Athletic Association ’25, °26; Assistant Business Manager ‘‘The Oak” ’26; Pres- ident Glee Club ’26; Literary Society ’23; Boy Scout ’25, °26; Bachelor Club ’26; Theta Kappa ’22. Carl is one of our bright pupils, and when it comes to Geometry he is all right. His only failing seems to be that he is spending his time in the Sophomore boys’ room. We wonder why? The Glee Club always finds him handy when it puts on a play. He furnishes al] the fur- niture and hasn’t failed us yet. This is a good chance to say, ““‘Thank you, Carl.”’ setsggeel aReiSotES cadet sae = Fa oH JULIUS RENNINGER, JR. “Where deep talk and wisdom is due, He is always called upon to give his view.” ACADEMIC COURSE Theta Kappa ’23; Biology Club ’26; Athletic Associa- tion ’25, ’26; Literary Society ’23; Glee Club ’26; Bach- elor Club ’25; Scouts, S. P. L.; First Class Scout Club; Assistant Editor of The Oak ’26. Julius is one of our industrious students. He is always ready to take advantage of an opportunity to do good. He is ambitious and his ‘mark is ‘Princeton.’ JOHN WOLF The jokiest, wittiest story teller, song singer, laugh- ingest, jolliest fellow you ever saw. COMMERCIAL COURSE Pres.

Sophomore Class ’24; Soccer Team ’23, ’24, ’26 (’26 Captain); Base Ball 728, 24, 26, 726 (Captain 725) 3 Basket Ball 28,°°24, °26; °26 (Manager ’25, ’26); Track ’28, ’24, ’25, ’26; Glee Club 24, °25, °26 (Vice-President ’24) Athletic Association ’25, °26 (Treasurer ’25, ’26; Viee-President ’26); Secretary Senior Class ’26; Business Manager Year Book ’26; Bus- iness Manager Jolly Junior Journal ’25. Here is Johnny. He ain’t very big but just watch his smoke. He has made every team since he has been at O. H. S., and is a real live wire in everything. Besides being an athlete, he is a wonderful actor, especially in minstrel shows. . TSE PE OPAGIKS iS “The Seniors know that they know.”’ JOHN BIRKHEIMER “In arguing still, he owns his skill, For e’en though vanquished, he could argue still.” ACADEMIC COURSE Secretary-Treasurer Theta Kappa Club ’23; Editor The- ts Kappa Gazette ’23; Athletic Association ’23, ’24, ’25; Glee Club ’26; Debating ’25, ’26; Editor Jolly Junior Journal ’25; Editor The Oak ’26. When John Birkheimer was asked if he thought he would graduate, he said, “I am not worrying; the teachers do it all for me.” John is very kind hearted. He has been seen several times giving ten dollar bills (Confederate money) away. John certainly did do his best to make our year book a success. ROBERT BOWMAN “T said to myself, I will be good, and wise, and brave, and helpful to others.” COMMERCIAL COURSE Class poet; Athletic Club ’26; Literary Society ’23; Glee Club ’26; Track ’23, ’24, ’25, ’26; Band ’23; Jolly Junior °25 Art Editor; Advertising Committee Year Book. This is Bob, just a friend of us all. His knowledge of bookkeeping is not very small. He certainly knows how to put his commercial knowledge into practical use when it comes to selling tickets for school plays. HELEN BROWNING “Time tells, so be patient.’’ COMMERCIAL COURSE Athletic Association ’25; Literary Society ’23; Glee Club ’24; Jolly Junior Journal ’25; Algebra Club ’23; Track ’26. Out of Friendsville came this young lady; so young, so sweet and radiant. Our Helen is a mighty fine girl. She always knows her lessons and, you can rest assured, she doesn’t waste any time in anything. She’s a good worker and a ‘“‘go-getter.”’ FRANCES COGLEY “T shall always have my own way.” ACADEMIC COURSE Biology Club ’26; Athletic Association ’23, ’24, °25; Glee Club ’24, ’25; Track ’23. Frances is always happy. She is giggling all the time. But when she gets mad, you had better watch out. She is able to take her part in anything. If talking is of any «vail, she ought to get where she wishes in life. Frances is a marvelous Latin student. Ask Miss Ruth. 16 LaHFEVOPALK “The Seniors know that they know.”’ ODELL COLAW ““Howe’er it be, it seems to me, ’tis only noble to be good.’”’—Tennyson. ACADEMIC COURSE Glee Club ’26; Biology Club ’26. Odell, from first appearance, is a very quiet and re- served little girl. Don’t draw your conclusions too has- tily, for when you get acquainted with her and there is any fun a-foot, you’ll know Odell is the ring-leader. Odell has been with us only a very short time, but has won a very large place in our hearts. PEARL FRIEND ““Aspasia—A celebrated woman noted for her beauty, genius and political influence.’—International Encylo- pedia. COMMERCIAL COURSE Glee Club ’24, ’25, ’26; Athletic Association ’23, ’24, 25, °26; Literary Society ’23. Pearl is our Aspasia. She knows a lot and is very generous with her knowledge. Pearl is not small; maybe you think that by her size she is awfully slow. But is this true? You ask the boys. They surely ought to know. GLADYS GONDER “Life’s but a span; I’ll enjoy every inch of it.” GENERAL COURSE Athletic Association ’23, ’24, ’25, ’26; French Club ’26; Volley Ball Team ’25, ’26 (Captain); Basket Ball Team 23, 25; Class Office (vice-president) ’23. ’24, ’26; Glee Club ’28, ’2 4, ’25; Dramatic Club ’23, ’25; Staff The Oak °26; Jolly Junior Journal ’24. Gladys is all right! Everybody likes her and she sure is a “‘winner.”’ She came out first in the Fraley Decla- mation Contest and she always stars in the O. H. S. plays. Three cheers for Gladys! ! ! GENEVIEVE GONDER “Woman was born for two things: to talk and to marry.”’ ACADEMIC COURSE Biology Club ’26; Athletic Association ’25, ’26; Volley Ball Team ’28, ’24, ’25, ’26; Literary Society ’23; Glee Club ’24, ’25, ’26; Basket Ball Team ’23, ’24; Algebra Club ’23; Jolly Junior Journal Social Committee. Genevieve is one of our quiet girls, but once you get her started she is well able to hold her own. It is hinted that she has a life-time position awaiting her when she receives her sheepskin. We know she will make some man a good wife. SESE e OSAR IS 7) ROGER GLAZE “None but himself can be his parallel.’’ ACADEMIC COURSE Theta Kappa Club ’23; Biology Club ’26; Athletic As- sociation ’25, ’26; Literary Society ’23; Glee Club ’25, 26: Bachelors’ Club ’26; Track ’28, ’24, ’25, ’26; Base Ball Team ’25; Staff The Oak ’26. A jolly good fellow is Roger, so full of mischief, wit and glee. But, regardless of his frivolity and light heartedness. Roger has great talent. He is a born artist and some day he ought to be famous as a magazine illustrator. MERLE HAMILL “She looks so innocent and sly; yet she really is so wise” ACADEMIC COURSE French Club ’26; Biology Club ’26. Here is Merle, the girl that never speaks until she is spoken to. She is very studious and has never failed in a lesson since she has been in high school. This is say- ing “‘somethin g,’’ and Merle holds a unique position in school as a result. WILLIAM KNOTTS “Scorch with thy lips the burning toast, Here’s to the one that grows the most.’”—Will Carleton COMMERCIAL COURSE Atheletic Association ’23, °’24, ’25; Literary Society 723; Jolly Junior Journal ’23 (Joke Editor); O. H. S. Band ’23, 24, ’25, ’26; Year Book ’26 (Assistant Busi- ness Manager) ; Track ’24. Our Bill is very tall and thin but he has a powerful lot of wind when it comes to blowing a bass horn. To hear him, one would think his ‘‘six feet’? were around his chest. Bill can tell jokes. and good ones, too. CARRIE KOLBFLEISCH “Still water runs deep.” ACADEMIC COURSE Glee Cub ’26. Carrie is one of our best students. Carrie does not wear her heart upon her sleeve, and if anyone can claim her as a friend, he knows that he has a real one. ay EieEF OFA K “The Seniors know that they know.” GENEVIEVE MENEAR “T should worry and get a wrinkle; I should smile and get a dimple.” COMMERCIAL COURSE Biology Club ’26; Athletic Association ’25, ’26; Glee Club ’25, ’26; Algebra Cl ub ’23. “Gen ” is a gay little girl and always smiling. When she sits down to a typewriter, “look out!’ She sure can make the letters fly and one is liable to hit you with a bang. ‘‘Gen’”’ makes lots of ‘‘hits’, but not always in this way. CARLTON MILLER “Thou movest under all the forms of truth.” COMMERCIAL COURSE Theta Kappa ’23; Athletic Association ’25, ’26; Soccer Team ’25, ’26; Baseball ’°24, ’25; Literary Society ’23; Glee Club ’25, ’26; Track ’23, ’24, ’25, ’26; Athletic Edi- tor Jolly Junior Journal ’25; Advertising Manager The Oak ’26. “Hoot” received his famous name because of his won- derful imitation of an owl in looking wise. He is never caught napping. His kick on the soccer field has won him county-wide fame. ‘‘Hoot’s’” right there with the goods when it comes to athletics and studies. AUBURN NINE “Good temper. like a sunny day, sheds brightness over everything.” ACADEMIC COURSE Biology Club ’26; Athletic Association ’25, ’26; Glee Club ’25, ’26; Staff Jolly Junior Journal ’25; Algebra Club ’23. Auburn Nine stands high in class. She tries her best to always pass. There isn’t a doubt but that she will make a wonderful teacher some day. MARGARET ORENDORF “Her voice was ever gentle, soft and low; an excellent thing in woman.” ACADEMIC COURSE Athletic Association ’25; Glee Club ’26. Peg is one of those placid little blue-eyed blond girls who winds her way into everyone’s heart. She is brainy and intelligent, but so quiet about it that very few know it until her test papers tell on her. Margaret is rather reserved on first appearances but once the ice is broken the reserve falls and she goes in for fun and pranks with a vim. Here’s to Peg and her brilliant future. etiske, OFALK 1, “The Seniors know that they know.”’ BOYD PAYTON “T dare do all that may become a man; who dares do more is none.” COMMERCIAL COURSE Athletic Association ’25, ’26; Soccer Team ’26; Base Ball Team ’24, ’26; Literary Society ’23; Assistant Athletic Editor '1ne Oak ’26. This young chap knows all about athletics and has proven it. He is a great soccer player and would rather play soccer than eat. ‘‘Pate’’ is awfully reserved; he doesn’t talk much at any time and when there is a girl around, all Pate does is stand and grin. JAMES POLLOCK “The world is no better if we worry; life is no longer if we hurry.” GENERAL COURSE Basket Ball Team ’24, ’25, ’26; Athletic Association 725, 26; Baseball Team ’24, °25, ’26; Glee Club 725, 726; Track 724. “Jim” is a crack basket ball player and when he shoots a ball, it’s in the basket. There isn’t much he doesn’t know about the ‘‘World Series”’ and the life his- tory of every great athlete. Maybe some day we shall read of marvelous feats which he, himself, has accom- plished on the athletic field. WARDER ROY “T put him down for a gentleman, and he fills the bill.” COMMERCIAL COURSE Theta Kappa ’23; Athletic Association ’25. °26; Lit- erary Society ’°’23; Class officer (Vice-President) ’25; Staff Jolly Junior Journal ’25; Band ’28, ’24, ’25, ’26; Track ’28, ’24, 725, 726. You can fool a State cop, but you can’t fool all the people all the time. So this is why you find Warder in his spare moments checking books at the Union Auto Sales Garage. Warder lives in West Virginia, but has preferred to secure his diploma from a Maryland high school. Thanks, Warder! Maryland appreciates the compliment. JUANITA READY “Good nature and good sense ever join here.” ACADEMIC COURSE Athletic Association ’23, ’24 ’25, ’26; Literary Society 23; Glee Club ’24, ’25, ’26. Juanita Ready has really been caught studying around high school, and we have heard she is an excellent student. She seems to have a difficult time drawing figures in geometry, however. 20 Petigke OFA KK LOUISE SHREVE “The beauty that is borne here in the face, the bearer knows not, but commends itself to others eyes.” ACADEMIC COURSE Athletic Association ’25; Glee Club ’26. Tall, blond and nice looking is Louise, and her hair is not bobbed, either. She is one of the old-fashioned girls and is good to look upon. Louise is a good Latin student babi we hear otherwise about her being a good geometry student. JAMES WOLF “What is worth doing at all is worth doing well.’’ COMMERCIAL COURSE Vice President Athletic Association ’25; President Ath- letic Association ’26; Soccer Team ’22, ’23, ’24, ’25: Cap- tain Soccer Team ’22, ’24, ’26; Basket Ball Team ’22. 23, °24, ’25, ’26 (Captain) ; Class President ’22, ’23, ’24, 25; Glee Club ’25, ’26 (Secretary and Treasurer) ; Track 22, ’23, ’25, ’26; Year Book Staff Athletic Editor ’26. “Jim” is a “Jim Dandy” in every way. What would we have done without him as a class member? He is a born leader and when it comes to doing anything for the O. H. S., leave it to Jim and it will be done. ISABELLE WEST “Beauty depends more than anything else on the gift of being able to put it over.” COMMERCIAL COURSE Class Treasurer ’23; Class Secretary ’24; Class Vice- President ’25; Girls’ Basket Ball ’23; Athletic Associa- tion ’23, ’24; Glee Club ’24, ’25, ’26; Staff Jolly Junior Journal ’25; Staff The Oak ’26. Isabelle is one of our worthwhile Commercial students. She makes the old typewriter hum and takes shorthand like a wiz. Izzy sings, too, and dances like a fairy. She ought to go on the stage but has decided to enter Johns Hopkins next fall as a nurse. Won’t she be a darling! WILEY WELLING “Three things shine: the sun, the moon and my hair.” COMMERCIAL COURSE Athletic Association ’23, ’24, ’25, ’26; Soccer Team ’26; Glee Club ’25, ’26; Track ’22, 23; Boy Scouts. Wiley is known to the students of the O. H. S. as “Red.’’ Guess why? It’s because he is so bright that his brightness makes his hair shine ‘‘Red.” He is the best natured boy in school. He ranks high in athletics, in studies and in school spirit. He is an all around good fellow. He won in the school declamation contest. Rae OFA Za SENIOR CLASS HISTORY important event in the whole history of the Oakland High School occurred. This particular event will doubtless go down in history along with the discovery of America by Columbus and the election of the first woman to Congress. Probably you are impatient to learn what this important event is— well, it is simply this: the greatest and best class in the world, the Class of ’26, entered O. H. S. as a timid, shrinking, modest (and here I shall not use the usual adjective of color frequently used to designate the Freshies from other species) class. The next day we were thought to be the most stupid excuses for pupils that had ever landed at O. H. S. But we soon showed our true worth and proved to onlookers that first impressions are not always lasting, and O. H. S. realized that she was welcoming future genii, presidents, orators, philosophers, lawyers and doctors in her midst. We organized our Freshman class with Adella Rodeheaver and Johnny Wolf as Presidents and immediately felt as big as Seniors. But this feeling was not to last very long, for initiation day came and that took us down slightly. Owing to the fact that we had so many musical students in our class, Miss Ruth Conley organized the O. H. S. Band, and some of us have developed into really true musicians, we might say. Time rolled, oh! so quickly, and examinations were upon us. Then came the end of the year with its hopes and good-byes, and the Freshies of 1922 scattered for the summer. Some of its members were to return to O. H. S. again in the fall; others departed never to come back. Another September found the greater number of us back again, how- ever. To our delight we were no longer Freshies, but Sophs. As Sophomores, we felt our importance. During this year we were not so fearful and often broke rules. This year brought with it athletics, and we organized an Athletic Association and played baseball, soccer and basketball, which we have played with great success thruout our high school career. Our Sophomore year passed all too quickly and a number of our loyal band did not return for the Junior year. But this did not discourage us, and those who did return pressed forward with the aim “Graduation” in mind. We entered our third year with ideas high, and with pinnacled principles, and never once have we deviated from our chosen course. In this, our Junior year, we found that we were leaving behind us not only the name of Sophs, but also leisure hours and carefree times, for as the years came and went we have had to assume harder tasks and wider responsibil- ities. Eventful was this journey, crowded with trials and pleasures, and often the fierce tempest has all but wrecked us. ‘| the month of September, in the year of our Lord 1922, the most 22 URI SET. O CAG We were known as the gayest class in school, so we received the name of Jolly Juniors, and presented the school with the first high school paper, “The Jolly Junior Journal.” It would be too great an undertaking to do justice to this class. We are proud of the record we made as Juniors. We know we owe much to our loyal officers, President James Wolf; Vice-President Warder Roy; Secretary Isabelle West, and Treasurer Carl McIntire. It was our Junior record that made us look with brightest hopes to the future. And when the year 1925 dawned upon us we realized our long cherished ambitions. We were Seniors! From our first roll call as O. H. S. Seniors we set our minds upon accomplishing what we undertook, and may we say modestly that we have done this. Sometimes the road has been steep, but with helpful guidance from those in authority we have finally reached the “hill-top.”” No more heads like vacuums; no more exams to flunk! We have won our goal at last and graduation is here. We dread to leave our dear O. H. S., our teachers, our school friends, our good times, and each other. But the glorious future awaits us and we can best show our ap- preciation of all that has been done for us by ‘making good” in the days to come. This each one of us has resolved to do, and Oakland High will always be proud of each member of the Class of ’26. Senior Class Ten Commandments I.

Having fulfilled my mission in the afternoon I had nothing to do until the next day when I was to leave for France. I was alone, and not knowing anyone in the city, I thought of the times I had had in the O. H. S. back home. Thinking of my classmates must have made me homesick, for suddenly I felt a horrible emptiness around me. I seemed to be alone in a great crowd. I planned to go to a show to try and expel all thoughts of the past, but after having looked at a part of three different shows, I decided it was impossible and started to return to my rooms at the hotel. On the way I saw a lighted sign which told to the public that a well- known medium was doing business at that place. I decided to go in and ask about my classmates. I rang a bell and almost immediately the door opened and I was led into a well-lighted room by a boy about ten years old. I was informed that the medium, who was a woman, would interview me in a few minutes. The boy soon motioned to me to follow him, and he led me into a room which was only dimly lighted. The medium was dressed in a long black robe which seemed to blend with the shadows and the black draperies behind her. Before her was a table upon which were slates and other things used by mediums in their seances. Without a word she motioned me to a chair opposite her and near the table. No sooner had I seated myself at the table than the room became dark as a pit and a light bluish flame appeared over the face of the medium. Then her voice came to me as from a great distance, yet it was singularly clear and distinct. “You are lonesome,” she said. “Of whom do you wish to know?” “Thoughts of my friends at home and of the old High School have been running through my head today until I believe I am becoming homesick. Can you tell me anything about my old classmates?” “First, I will tell you something of yourself,” the medium replied. ‘You have been fairly successful as an electrical engineer, and having no one dependent upon you, you are rather well off. You are at the present time arranging to make a trip to France, partly on business and partly for pleasure. “Now, I will tell you of a friend of yours. Carl McIntire is now a well- to-do pharmaceutical chemist. He is with a pretty young lady. Who is she? She is tall and slender. It is his wife, the former Helen Hine- baugh, of your home town. Carl went to college and after graduating, went into business with one of his college friends in Detroit. “Carl and Helen seem to be in a great hurry to get somewhere. Yes, it is to see the baseball game. And who are the three young men on the Detroit team, which is now the champion team of the Major League? They are John Wolf, pitcher; James Wolf, catcher, and James Pollock, first baseman. They are Ty Cobb’s most valuable players. “Robert Bowman is quite successful as an electrical engineer, as he is now in charge of an important department in the Westinghouse Electrical Company in Pittsburgh. “Who is the happy young lady I see in the home of one of the surgeons of Johns Hopkins staff? It is your friend Isabelle West. She entered the Johns Hopkins School for Nurses and fell in love with a handsome young doctor and married him. She is living happily. “T am now viewing a performance in the New National Theatre in Wash- ington. The performer is the world-renowned comedian, Roger Glaze. He is the only man who has rivaled Eddie Cantor. 24 THis O PAK “At the same performance one can hear the greatest of actresses, Gladys Gonder. Some critics believe her to be even greater than Sarah Bernhardt. Roger and Gladys often appear on the same program. “Hrom the stage we will go to an elementary school. Yes, it is in Oak- land, though the school has been changed so that you would not recognize it, as it is one of the most modern of schools. We enter the office and there find the principal. She is beloved of all the pupils and is no other than Carrie Kolbfleisch. “From the office we go to the fifth grade and find there your friend, Juanita Ready. She and Carrie seem to be quite popular among the par- ents as well as the pupils. “Now here is Pearl Friend dictating a letter to her Commercial class. Yes, it is in the High School of Oakland. Pearl is quite successful in her chosen vocation. “Leaving the schools behind, we will go to Johnson’s Garage in Oakland where we find Warder Roy, the business manager and part owner of the largest garage in Western Maryland. And here is another of your former classmates, Helen Browning. She is Warder’s private secretary and sten- ographer. “Tomorrow in Oakland there will be given an exhibition by the world’s renowned dare-devil aviator, Wiley Welling. Wiley went to an avi- ation school, learned to fly and obtained a position and bought a plane of his own and started giving exhibition flights. Boyd Payton is Wiley’s advertising manager and it is generally through his efforts that they are such a success. “Louise Shreve and Margaret Orendorf are still the best of friends, but Louise is married to a rich young financier and is quite happy with her three children. “Margaret is the governess of the children of Edsel Ford, and it is rumored that she is engaged to a popular young chap who is related to the Vanderbilts. “Going back to Oakland we find the happy little wife of H. W. McComas, Jr. She is the proud mother of two children; one is a boy and the other a girl. Yes, she is the former Sarah Johnston, as you have already guessed. “At Oakland we will also see Julius Renninger. He is home for a short visit. Julius is the Standard Oil Company’s outstanding attorney. Julius has been asked by both the Republican and Democratic parties to run for Governor of Maryland. I cannot tell whether he will or not. Julius is married to a pretty young actress from the Ziegfield Follies. “Frances Cogley is head nurse at the Western Maryland Hospital. It is because of her that the Western Maryland has received the name of be- ing the best managed hospital in Maryland. “T see in one of the Government laboratories at Washington, D. C., Professor John L. Birkheimer, the entomologist, absorbed in his research work. John is in the United States Science Service. “In the same laboratory with John is a young lady. She is seated at a typewriter busily copying the Professor’s notes. She is his secretary, Genevieve Menear. “In Washington, I also see Auburn Nine. She is the private secretary to the Secretary of State. “But what kind of an office is this? It is the office of the business man- ager of the great Crellin Coal, Coke and Lumber Company. There, seated at his desk, dictating a letter to Odell Colaw, his stenographer, is William Knotts, business manager. Going to the Crellin High School, for there is one now, we find Merle Hamill instructing a class in English composition. Merle went to a Tahe lh SOeACtK 25 normal school and after graduating therefrom went to Crellin to teach. ““About three miles northeast of Oakland is the home of Carlton Miller. Carlton is the owner of a million dollar farm, the richest in the east. Carlton went to an agricultural school and then returned to Garrett county to make wonderful improvements. “And last but not least is Genevieve Gonder. Genevieve is married now and has moved to Baltimore, the home of her husband, who is a success- ful business man.” The medium then turned to me and said, “Your classmates are all very happy and have turned out to be true citizens of our glorious country. Oakland High deserves great credit for developing such worthy men and women and I take pleasure in congratulating you upon being a graduate of such a splendid school.” I thanked her and felt a feeling of pride within me as I thought that I was a member of the Class of ’26, each member of which seems to have been so successful in life thus far. Class Will E, the Senior Class of the Oakland High School, of the County of Garrett, in the State of Maryland, being in good health and of sound zeeqmind and body, and being desirous of settling our high school affairs “while we have the time, strength and capacity to do so, do hereby make, publish and declare this our last will and testament in manner and form following: FIRST: We, the Class as a body, do give and bequeath to the classes as follows: To the Junior Class we give the front row in the gallery, the Academic room waste-paper basket and the privilege of running all errands for Miss Katharine Conley.

N the year of 1923 eighty boys and girls, coming from various parts of Garrett County, were enrolled as Freshmen in this mod- 7 ern High School. They took an active part in all events, with Mary SES Faherty, Mary Gonder and Cecelia Lawton as their class officers. They were proved social leaders at the Spooky Hallowe’en, Glorious Glee Club and Merry Christmas parties. During the Freshman party, at which the Senior throng intruded and gave them a thorough initiation, they were proclaimed the best sports ever known to enter the Oakland High School. At the time of the Declamation Contest it was discovered that many of the members of this class were good speakers and their ability was further shown when they participated in the Glee Club play entitled, ‘““The Rustic Romeo.” In the Sophomore year, under the supervision of their class officers, Mitchell Franklin, McClelland Dixon and Erval Ream, they accomplished much. They won many first prizes at the County Fair in drawings, sew- ing, agricultural work and essays. At the Hallowe’en and Glee Club parties they were largely represented, and many of them took part in the Glee Club play, “The Love Pirates of Hawaii.” The Sophomore girls showed their ability as musicians when their entire music class presented “The Kittens.” Before the close of school a weiner and marshmallow roast was enjoyed. This year, as Juniors, they have resumed their studies, some striving to master the Academic course and the others the Commercial. So far they have had a great year and have chosen Erval Ream, Robert Roy and Mitchell Franklin as their officers. This has been a glorious year for athletics, too. Both soccer and volley ball have been popular and most of the credit for success in them is due to the Junior class. So far the Juniors have taken part in the plays, “Sally Anne Finds Herself,” “Axin Her Father” and “Christmas at the Cross Roads.” The following is a sample of the Juniors’ poetic license, by Mitchell Franklin: GEORGE WASHINGTON George Washington was once a boy, When President he did his best Just like you and me; To make a nation strong, He never told a lie at all— And he won out against great odds Was just as good’s can be. And never once did wrong. One ti me he crossed the Delaware He said one day that his success And fought a battle great, Thru life was due to this: At Valley Forge and Yorktown, too, ‘Our duty first; then fun and play, He swung “Old Glory’s fate. And failure you will miss.” So do what’s right in home and school, Your duty, every time, Then like old George you’ll surely be, I'll bet you my last dime. or Ul det ie (ORs. 1 tia OFAC 32 Te HeES OrAck 315) Sophomore Class Roll “The Sophs know not and know that they know not.” BOYS RPSSTCeN Gere rrr tues or cuene ore Erva Ashby Vice-President........

We numbered y one hundred and eight. The first few days we were very much ex- Mes cited, not knowing just where to go and what to do. However, we soon became accustomed t o the ways of the High School. Soon after school opened we had an election of officers, when the follow- ing were chosen: Mary L. Helbig, Alvin Ream, Franklin Wolf and Wil- lian Helbig. Early in October the boys were initiated by the upper classmen; the girls escaped. The next event of our class was a party given by the girls. Games were played and refreshments were served. As Freshmen, we took a prominent part in the school parade of the Garrett County Fair. We wore green hats, carried green canes and green balloons, and sang a song about our greenness. The girls won first prize in their canned goods exhibit. Elwood Hauser won first place in cattle judging and was awarded a trip to the Frederick Fair, where he won a silver cup. In April, the three Fresman English classes, under the supervision of Mrs. Byron Besse, held a debating contest. Both Freshman boys and girls were represented at the track and field meet at Mountain Lake Park in June. The girls won two silver badges and one gold badge. One silver and five gold badges were won by the boys. Mossy Crespy won five medals. In the spring we hiked to Coddington’s Riffles. Each one took his lunch. We got there about two o’clock. The boys went swimming, while the girls waded. We had supper about five o’clock and then hiked home. Denver Sanders, Alvin Ream and Elmer Ashby are members of the school band. Some of the girls took part in the operetta given by the music classes. Theoda Rice and Mary-Grace Shirer represented the Freshman class in the declamation contest. The officers for our Sophomore year were elected soon after school started. They are: Irva Ashby, Mary Louise Helbig, Eloise Johnston, Martha Townshend. A French Club was organized and the Sophomores, who became mem- bers, were initiated by the Juniors. The boys, under the supervision of Mr. Jenkins, presented a negro min- strel. The girls, under Miss Baer’s direction, presented a one-act comedy entitled, “A Little Miss Take,” both before the assembly and later at a meeting of the Parent-Teacher Association. The boys have led the school in attendance nearly the whole year. We have tried to be a worthwhile class and we have two years more in which to prove how really worthwhile we can be.

We still were scared, alas! A hopeless, helpless, sorry crowd— That timid Freshman Class. E were the largest class that ever entered the Oakland High School. But even if we were timid, and bashful, we soon became accus- % tomed to “O. H. S.”, and now we are getting along as well as the rest, even if we are Freshmen. Some of our class are turning out to be regular athletes. On the soccer team we were represented by Alvy Clark, John Maroney and Charles Hel- big; on the volley ball team by Ruth Cavis and Cecelia Duke, and by the help of these the Garrett County championship was won by the school. The boys elected the following officers in due time: Ronald Martin, President; Joseph Weaver, Vice-President, and Alvy Clark, Secretary and Treasurer, with Mr. Graser as class advisor. The girls were a little slow, but keeping as their motto, “Better late than never,” elected the following officers: Martha Gonder, President; Dorothea Sturgiss, Vice-President, and Evelyn Shaffer, Secretary and Treasurer. Miss Underwood acted as class advisor. Mr. Graser was accompanied to the Frederick Cattle Judging contest by William DeBerry, Harland Biggs and Wilbert Ridder. They were awarded third prize in the contest, which speaks well for the Freshman boys. The Freshman boys, with the help of the Freshman girls, gave very interesting programs in assembly throughout the year which, needless to Say, were enjoyed by all who attended. Tuesday before Christmas we made our first appearance in society, when we gave a party for the boys. Refreshments, consisting of cocoa and sandwiches, were served. Everyone had a pleasant time, thanks to Miss Brown, our Home Economics teacher, and Mr. Graser and Miss Un- derwood, our home room teachers. We hope to have the largest graduating class ever sent out from the Oakland High School, and we shall do our best to make our record one of the finest in the history of the school. Tet Es OFATK 39 The High School Library HIS year the special object of interest of the third year English classes, both Academic and Commercial, has been the High School weed library. The classes last year having been handicapped by not hay- SSS ing access to the supplementary reading books, it was determined that the purchase of these books should be the first objective. In the early fall a play entitled, “Sally Ann Finds Herself,” was given. Part of the thirty dollars made on the play, was spent in buying all books on the third and fourth year supplementary lists, the surplus going towards thoroughly reorganizing the library. The Dewey decimal system of classification, with a card catalogue and a card charging system was installed. This work was carried through by the librarian, with the assistance of the boys of the Commercial Department. The policy of the School Board of Garrett County has been to dupli- cate the amounts spent by any school for books, so Mr. Rathbun gave twenty dollars, which was used in purchasing the books on the first and second year supplementary lists. Through the Fraley Declamation Contest for girls, in which Gladys Gonder was the winner this year, the library was enriched by the addi- tion of eighteen volumes of “The Popular Science Library.” Twelve volumes of the Musical Encyclopedia were added through the efforts of the O. H. 8. Glee Club. Although the Library Party, given on the evening of Friday, April the 9th, was not a financial success, it proved to be one of the most en- joyable social functions of the season. The guests came dressed to repre- sent books. Miss Cecelia Duke, of the first year class, won the prize as “The Cat and the Canary.” Others worthy of mention were Miss Pearce, of the Grammar School, as ‘The Old-Fashioned Girl’; Miss Henion, grade supervisor, as “The Goose Girl,’ and Robert Miller, of the third year class, as ““The Vanishing American.” O. H. S. may well be proud of its library—the largest and most up-to- date in the county. It contains over seven hundred volumes. What the library needs now is more space to house the books and to pro- vide for reading rooms to take care of the ever increasing number de- manding its service. 40 TeHgh ey O;AsK Oakland High School Band Presigerites..i eee Hrvaleneameme reasurets... eee James Forman Director... fee Miss Ruth Conley EK take this opportunity to thank the band boys for their able and generous support on all school occasions, namely, parades, contests, games, parties and assembly meetings. Many a school function “1 was enlivened by the “pep” produced by this little group. May the O. H. S. Band increase in numbers and continue on the road to success and glory! Garrett County Fair Exhibits HE Oakland High School was well represented at the Garrett County Agricultural Fair, held in September. O. H. S. won many prizes, weed and, of course, felt proud of the fact. Prizes were won by the Home MESS Economics Department in canned fruits and vegetables, pies, cakes, bread and candies. The Biology and Commercial Departments exhibited excellent work, which won honorable mention. The Agricultural Department had, perhaps, the most noteworthy dis- play. It exhibited a number of farm tools which had been made in school; aes e collection of grasses and seeds, farm project work, fruits and veg- etables. Excellent work in History, Mathematics, Latin, French and English was exhibited by the Academic classes. Blue, red and white ribbons adorned the O. H. S. booth after the judges awarded the honors. pers Ee OFATK 41 La Cercle Francais A Cercle Francais was organized early this year by Miss Everhart and continued by Miss Archer. It has justified its purpose by cre- wren ating a spirit of good fellowship and sociability among the French Hee students. Its most outstanding contribution to the worthwhile ac- tivities of the school was the seein on March 5, 1926, of a play entitled, “La Lecon de Francais.” The Parent-Teacher Association HE Parent-Teachers’ Association was re-organized this year, and the following officers were re-elected: President, Mr. A. L. Lee; mee Vice-President, Mrs. James Willison; Treasurer, Mrs. He ©; Lewis; a Wiss Sallye Vance, Commercial Supervisor, O. EE Se was elected Secretary. The Sophomore girls presented the play entitled, “A Little Miss Take,” directed by Miss Leona Baer, at the first meeting, and gave a concert, under Miss Ruth Conley’s direction, at the spring meeting. Bus Service HE bus service was established at the beginning of the school year in 1925. Its purpose is to make it possible for country boys and SRR girls, who otherwise would not have the opportunity, to come to BSASY school. The cost of running the buses is very little to the individual] student, as the county pays half the cost. One of the buses runs from Mountain Lake and Red House and is owned and operated by the Houck Auto Supply Company, while the other brings students from Crellin and is owned and operated by the Stanton Transfer and Taxi Service Company. New Cement Walks HE road that leads to success has been made much easier, at least in one instance. During the past summer of 1925 the sidewalk along 1 Green street and at the side of the High School property was con- 4 creted. A guard rail has been placed on the inner side of the walk. ie ee walk and steps, with a guard rail through the center, has also been laid from the street to the front entrance. The walks not only beau- tify the grounds but make walking much more pleasant during inclement weather. The School Seal URING the opening months of the school year, a seal was chosen by the students and faculty of the O. H. S. as the standard school seal. SAX It is worn on both rings and class-pins. The seal is of wondrous “aed beauty, delicately etched, showing an open scroll encircled by the name ‘Oakland High School.” The seal was chosen as a standard because it was felt that the pupils should be recognized as students of the O. H. S. wherever they go. Having a school seal, the expenses of a ring or pin are greatly lessened. The pins and rings stamped with the school seal are popular and are very much admired. 42 Te tisles OF ATK Oakland High School Glee Club President... =.

Gladys Gonder, as the inquisitive country lady; Ruth Fike, the scheming spinster; James Pollock, the handsome minister; Isabelle West, the sweet young thing, and Mitchell Franklin, the choir leader, deserve special commenda- tion for the excellent portrayal of their respective parts. Later on the Junior members of the Club presented ‘‘Good Morning, Teacher,” in the school auditorium to an appreciative audience. The musical comedy, ‘Once in a Blue Moon,” directed by Miss Ruth and Miss Katharine Conley, however, crowned the efforts of the Glee Club this year. This play proved not only a great financial success, but to satisfy the demands of many, a repetition of it was necessary. Each one who took part merits praise, but Gladys Gonder, especially, who was obliged to por- tray a double role at the eleventh hour and did so with ease and grace. May the Glee Club continue in its good work and remain as one of the most important activities of the O. H. S. eiigke OF AG ks 43 The Agriculture Club LITTLE more than a year ago the Agricultural students in Oak- al land High School organized a club which has been active ever since (Gey and has been for them a source of much pleasure and benefit. Dur- ing the year 1925-26, the officers of the club were, President, Elwood Hauser; Vice-President, Albert Snyder; Secretary, Wilbert Ridder; Treas- urer, William DeBerry. The following members were absent when the picture for The Oak was taken: Albert Snyder, Boyd Shaffer, Harry Hostetler, Curtis Miller. Meetings were held, the first and second Thursdays of each month, at which time programs of an agricultural nature were given. These pro- grams stimulated interest in classroom work in the study of agriculture, farming, pure-bred livestock, and were effective in training pupils to think and act in ways which will be valuable to them in the future. It has been, perhaps, the most important addition to the department of agriculture dur- ing the three years that agriculture has been taught in the Oakland High School. We feel that this is a movement of great practical importance and trust that it may continue to function and be an inspiration to the agricultural interests of the community. 44 EG OoAK Biology Club HE Biology Club was organized by the Biology classes of 1925-26. The members chose as their officers James Dodge, John Birkheimer, weed and Irva Ashby. Their aim is to advance the study of biology by seas bringing themselves into closer relationship with their natural en- vironment. The Club meets every second and fourth Thursday of the month. At these meetings well planned programs are given, which are followed by lively discussions of the biology problems at hand. Many enjoyable and profitable field trips will be taken this spring by the members of the Club. County-Wide Fraley Declamation Contest HE Fourth County-wide Fraley Declamation Contest was held in Accident on Wednesday evening, March 31. The auditorium was wren filled to capacity, many enthusiasts being turned away because of BSS Jack of space. The declaimers were: Miss Gladys Gonder, Oakland; Miss Eula Guthrie, Friendsville; Miss Emma Chisholm, Kitzmiller; Miss Helen Folk, Grantsville; Miss Nelle Speicher, Accident. Miss Gladys Gonder, of Oakland High, won first honors, together with a handsome eighteen volume set of “‘Popular Science,” which she presented to the school. Her selection was “In the Palace of the King,’ by Marion Crawford. Gladys is gifted with remarkable dramatic ability and her declamation was rendered with unusual ease and force. Miss Nelle Speicher, of Accident, came second in the contest. She was highly commended for her excellent rendition of ‘The Rivals.” It was a close contest, and the judges, Professor O. D. Lambert, Princi- pal of Kingwood High School; Professor R. E. King, Principal of King- wood Elementary school, and Rey. St. Clair, pastor of the Baptist church at Kingwood, found it a difficult task to choose the winners. Aside from the declamations a very interesting program was given by students of the five high schools taking part. Professor Lambert and Mr. H. A. Loraditch, President of the Board of Education, followed the pro- gram with interesting talks. At the graduating exercises at the close of the school term each of the contestants will receive a gold medal. Calendar Notes SEPTEMBER 8.

Soccer Team AKLAND won the 1925 Garrett County Soccer Championship for the fourth consecutive time, with very little real opposition. The (Gy weather was very disagreeable and with the exception of once, Oak- land did not have a favorable day for a game. The first game was played with Accident. Although Oakland outplayed them she was unable to score and lost 2-0. In the second game Oakland defeated Friendsville, 20-0. Kitzmiller then invaded Oakland’s territory. Oakland showed her real playing ability by winning 6-2 in a fast and interesting game. The next game was played at Accident. Oakland’s forward line ran wild and won 5-2. The last game was played at Kitzmiller in rain, hail and snow. Oakland again proved victorious after a hard struggle, 2-0. Oakland has now won four championships out of a possible five. Kitz- miller won the championship in’ 1921, when soccer was first played in Garrett County and no one knew anything about the game. The summary of games played, as well as the names of the players will be found on the succeeding page. 52 Te Lis Ee Or AUK SUMMARY OF GAMES.

The team of 1925 is as follows: Captain John Wolf is known in O. H.S. as the first of the four horsemen. With his ability, guidance and strength he led his team through many hard fought battles. This is John’s fourth and last year on the soccer team. Wiley Welling is the second of the four horsemen. His ability and spirit helped his team win many victories. This was Red’s first and last year with soccer in High School. Carlton Miller, better known as “Hoot,” is the third of the four horse- men. His healthy boot saved defeat time after time for his team. This was his second and last year on the team. Boyd Payton, who is known as “Payt” in O. H. S., is number four of the four horsemen. He was the big gun between the uprights this year and his strength and ability as a goal keeper kept the opposite team from scoring a victory many times during the season. He is the best player that O. H.S. ever had at this position. This is his first and last year at soccer. Robert Miller, whom we know as “Bob,” played a strong game at center half, and his timely kicks have saved many goals. Bob will be playing next year. Hugh Echard, our dependable full-back, is noted for kicking the ball over all the fences that surround the fields of the county. “Jake” will boot the old ‘pill’ next year. Mitchell Franklin, our fast little end, is valuable for his quick dribbling and passing. “Mitch” was just initiated this year, but he still has another year to play. John Maroney, our other end man, contributed much toward the winning of the championship with his toe that directed the ball through the goal so many times. Ralph Blake. Sheik’s long legs are used for something else besides stilts, as he proved while playing soccer last fall. He played a good game at half- back and was a reliable man in every play. This was Ralph’s initial year at soccer and he will have next year to play. Charles Helbig. ‘‘Root” played a fast and steady game on the forward line and could always be depended upon to receive and pass the ball. He will be in line for the team for a couple of years. Alvin Clark. ‘“Alv,” the smallest on the team, played a strong defen- Sive game at half-back. He is a Freshman and has plenty of time to make good. Glenn Miller. Last but not least is the ever-ready sub, Glenn. He was always ready for action and played a strong game when he was in it. THe Ee OF ALK bo Track—1925 AKLAND won the Garrett County Track Meet for the third consec- utive time. Out of a possible twenty-four first places, Oakland won m eight. The outstanding point-scorers for Oakland were Edward Se- 2 bold, who won the 440-yard run, breaking the county and school record, and the running broad jump; Graydon Lewis, who won the 880- yard run, breaking the county and school record, and placing second in the shot-put; McClelland Dixon, who won the baseball throw and was on the winning 440-yard relay team; James Willison, who won the 100-yard dash, breaking the county and school record. Oakland won the 440-yard relay and the speedball championship. The Oakland track team defeated Aurora in a return dual meet, at Au- rora, 43-29. Garrett County has held track meets since 1917. Oakland has won five of them; Kitzmiller the other four.
