30 Te tigie OAs: JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY Oakland High School Broadcasting Station, Oakland, Maryland. 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.
