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.

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.

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. .
