It is hoped, while straying through these memorable pages, that you will find silhouetted happy thoughts of our high school yester-year. aNVINVO KNOW YE ALL! That we, the Senior Class of Nine- teen Twenty-eight, do, with great pleasure, dedicate this, the fifth volume of “The Oak” to ours, the best of towns— OAKLAND Wise Words To The Class of ’28 From a Few of Oakland’s Sages Education is cheap; ignorance alone is expensive. —F. EK. Rathbun, Superintendent Garrett County Public Schools. Trained minds rule the world; school days are training days. —Delbert Davis, Cashier First National Bank. Lacking knowledge, it is a wise man who knows where to obtain it. —L. F. Tower. The Church and the Public School are the great- est assets any country can have for the develop: ment of civilization. —A. D. Naylor, State Senator. MR. F. E. RATHBUN Remember each day has its possibilities, and these can become realities to you as you recognize and develop them. “There’s a chance beside the gate for you And every morning at your door, All sweet and fresh with sparkling dew, Knocks Opportunity—for you.”’ —Harriet Bartlett Pollock He who learns during school days to appreciate the value of good books and how to properly use them, makes possible for himself many pleasant hours in later life. —Ernest Ray Jones. The real opportunities and privileges occur during school days—do not overlook them. —W. W. Dawson. Contrary to the opinion of our youthful days, education begins where school days end. —A. T. Matthews. One of the greatest assets on the balance sheet of life is an education. —Berne Teter, Cashier Farmers’ Bank. 10 -—F 19028 — Wise Words To The Class of ’28 From a Few of Oakland’s Sages May your class number the same for years t� come; may your every wish for happiness and prosperity be granted. Let your motto be: “Ever onward and upward,” and aim to follow it. —H. A. Loraditch, President County Board of Education. Great things often begin in small and humble ways. A single thistle carried to Australia seeded that country and caused the loss of millions of dollars. —Joseph E. Harned. Little achievements often make more noise in the world than great ones. —Benj. H. Sincell, Publisher The Republican. MR. H. A. LORADITCH To know what to do is wisdom; to know how to do it is skill; to do the thing as it should be done is service. —R. R. Gilbert. As you grow older the more you will realize and appreciate the fact that there is always room at the top of the ladder. Take advantage of your opportunities. Qualify yourself and the position will seek you. —William R. Offutt. You are now ready for life’s battle. You have all the arms necessary for victory—an education. May you have all the luck in the world. —L. M. Fraley, Mayor of Oakland. Abolish fear and you can accomplish whatever you wish. —H. W. McComas, M. D. Every young man and girl should, in these days, appreciate the fact that they have such an excellent chance to improve their intellectual powers, and it should be their ambition to develop their intellect by careful studv and not let this golden opportunity pass, as it will never return. —Gilmor 8. Hamill. Men who love their fellowmen prove their love by service. —G. A. Fraley, Cashier Garrett National Bank. at Nt i 12 =F 1928 — THE FACULTY MISS KATHARINE T. CONLEY, Principal, A.

Rockfeller, Jr., says that character is the foundation of successful business. I veg believe that I may go a step farther and say that character is the foundation of success in every walk of life. Character is what we really are. A worthy character possesses such qualities as integrity, loyalty, honesty, nobility of heart and mind, kind- ness, sympathy, a sense of justice, obedience to law, and understanding. Have we these qualities? Are we endeavoring, with all our might, to strengthen them within ourselves? “Our character is our will, For what we will, we are.” —Katharine T. Conley. 14 _ as —% —— ee ea 3 % wae re ean FZ ar LSS SS ZZ ELS z Lae 5 an FFF BE eee a x = — =a AA = SS “FOR BOLD IN HEART AND ACT AND WORD WAS HE... ” - —— ). h | it —Tennyson - J é ‘ + -. - nt Ps ia 7 - 4 aD wh : _y es ¥ Ai A : _ =a Uy we Sheil ¥ rN y ae oe ee at : .

Training? Yes, the ones who were willing to master the hardships and battles of life, entered the castle with the intention of emerging as first class Knights. The members of the class have worked diligently and earnestly to reach their goal, and now, that we are Seniors, we want to tell you a few of the facts which have taken place in our lives the past four years and which will enable us, as a class, to-go ‘‘over the top” in number, service and loyalty. Since we, as students, had an earnest purpose, we started in bravely, always striving to live up to the highest standards, and now, at the end of our Senior year, we have made for ourselves a history that will go ringing down through the years proclaiming us the most dependable and strongest Senior class ever leaving the Oakland High School. Throughout the first year, we, as “pages”, worked industriously in order to make ourselves recognized as a part of the court and eventually after the battles were won we were made “squires’’, or in other words Sopho- mores. On entering the second year our number had decreased. Although there were only a few of us to carry the increased burden, we met our tasks over half way and thus gained a splendid record for ourselves and were made “Knights.” As a result a greater effort had to be made to retain our stand- ard in O. H. 8S. Throughout the year we were successful in placing a rep- resentative of our class in every circle in school. At this time we must not fail to mention that a number of our class rep- resented our school in the County-wide Declamation Contest. Thus ended our Junior year with a splendid record and we were admitted into the “Higher Court.” The happiest yet the saddest of all times in the history of our class is that of our Senior year. It is now that we must raise anchor and set sai! into the unknown. We can only hope that our bark will have a favorable wind and that we shall encounter no unsurmountable obstacles in reaching port on the other side. Now as we board the good ship “Hope” and set sail out into the unknown future, we extend the wishes of good luck and prosperity to all the under-classmates In leaving this dear old Alma Mater of ours, we wish to express our heartiest thanks for all that she has done for us and may we never forget the many happy hours which we have spent within her walls, and may we close this Volume V that records our experiences in High School with a heart that remembers only the hours that shine, and may our ship, which had set sail so bravely, be guided by as favorable a wind as has been with us for the past four years. —James Dodge and Irva Ashby, ’28. 29 —F 19028 — CLASS PROPHECY (Extracts from the Diary of the first man to fly to Mars) UNE 28, 1940.—Today our ship came in sight of the land of Mars. It looked very much like our Earth. There were mountains, forests mand seas. Careful tests were made of the atmosphere and it was found to contain practically the same elements as that of our own earth. In the distance we could see a large city, which we were rapidly ap- proaching. Soon the city was reached and we landed in a field just out- side it and were soon surrounded by a large crowd of people slightly smaller than we. Their skin was copper red and the majority of them were very handsome. They were all talking and crying out in a strange language. Then suddenly, and much to our surprise, a man stepped from the crowd and addressed us in very good English. “We suppose you are from the earth,” he said, “and we welcome you to our land. We are glad that some one has been able to reach us from some other planet. For many years we have been listening to conversations and entertainments that have been broadcasted by what you call a radio. We have lately completed a device by which we can both see and hear what is going on on the earth. Thus it is that I can understand English. We have been listening to the reports of your flight day by day. June 29, 1940 (by our time).—Today I saw the Martean hamodic, the machine which receives radio messages and pictures from the earth. It reminded me very much of the new invention being developed by Kenneth Stahl, one of the most noted electricians of the United States. It was he who made the delicate electrical equipment of our own ship. Then Alfric, for that was the name of the man who had first spoken to us and in whose house I was staying, turned on the hamodic and tuned in on the earth. The first voice and picture startled me, for it was none other than that of Denver Sanders. He was reporting a big league baseball game. Next came a talk on better cattle raising by Elwood Hauser. Again the dials were turned and we were listening in on a report of late medical discoveries. Among others was an important discovery concern- ing the cure of cancer made by Dr. Alvin Ream. He was assisted in his work by Miss Hasaleah Yutzy, one of the leading nurses of our time. It was also said that Dr. R. W. Stemple had finally discovered, after many years’ research, an absolute method of preventing the decay of teeth. I then asked Alfric to get some music, so he tuned in on the Metropoli- tan Opera House, which was broadcasting Romeo and Juliet. The over- ture of this was played by the great accordionist, Wilmer Brown. The part of Juliet was played by Miss Lavona Blamble and the applause at her ap- pearance almost broke the hamodic. Alfric next turned in on O. H. S., and we listened to an assembly pro- gram. Here we saw the head master, “Mutt” Ready, the burnt cork come- dian. This was followed by a solo by Miss Mary Jane Kahl, the famous soprano. Following this was a report of conditions in the school. The agriculture teacher was Dale Sanders. Other familiar names among the faculty were Marie Bernard, English; Beryldine Fulk, commercial sub- 27 see: aw MN 1928 — jects, and Hildred Bernard, principal of the Junior High School. Then came a report of agriculture work in Garrett county by Mr. Harland Biggs, the county agent. Mr. James Dodge, president of the Oakland Aeroplane Corporation, gave a talk on “Building up a Business,” as did Miss Helen Hinebaugh, his head stenographer, on “The Importance of Ac- curate Bookkeeping.” Mr. Robert J. Stanton, of Stanton’s Taxi and Trans- fer, who had inherited the business from his father, and was making a great success of it, gave a talk on “Keeping Things Moving.” Follow- ing this was Mr. Leonard Murphy, editor of the Oakland News. His ad- dress was “Keeping Things Before the People.” Last, but not least, Miss Myrtle Kight, recently crowned World’s Champion Typist, told how she had reached her goal, beginning in the typewriting class of Oakland High School. This ended the program of the evening. The things I had heard and seen had greatly impressed me. I told Alfric that these people had been members of my class in high school back home. Then it was that I realized what a truly wonderful thing the hamodic was. June 30, 1940.—I did not go to sleep directly last night, for I lay awake thinking of the events of the evening. When I did sleep I dreamed the members of my class passed before me. There was Edith Bittinger, teacher in a country school. It was.a two-room school and none other was principal of it than Miss Katherine Filsinger. There was Mr. Thurl Tower, a famous engineer, who had built a railroad through the South American jungles, and Evelyn Bosley, the wife of a prominent banker of Oakland. And still they came. Vivian Clary was now Mrs. R. W. Stemple, the wife of the great dentist. Then I saw Mr. Albert Snyder and little wife, Eleanor White. He is one of the biggest farmers in Garrett County. Then came Mary Grace Shirer of the Oakland Hat Shop, and Miss Theoda Rice, coach of girls’ athletics in the University of Maryland. Again I saw a stage and there was Ruth Newman as the mother of the leading man. Teddy Marley passed by. He was making a success as the private secretary to a great lecturer. Next was a political meeting with Mary Louise Helbig on the box loudly proclaiming the benefits that would be derived by electing her a National Senator. Then was pictured a little home with the former Irva Ashby in a spic and span kitchen. She was the wife of a prominent merchant in Oakland and her house was one of the model houses of the town. The next scene was a large room with rows of white beds with white figures moving around among them. It seemed to be a room in a hospital and I recognized among the moving figures the faces of Irene Bond, Louise Michael and Martha Townshend. They were head nurses. Another scene, and Margaret Canty appeared as an important clerk in a department store. Then I saw a home in which was Marie Zimmerman and around her were three very pretty children. The last scene was that of a Paris beauty shop with Genevieve Sebold at one of the chairs. My experiences of the past night had brought back to me thoughts anc recollections of the time we had all graduated from high school together. All of us had done something more or less important. And then again 1 turned my attention to the contrivance that had done so much toward bringing two worlds together. Will wonders never cease? —George M. Altstetter. 28 The CLASS WILL E, the Senior Class of the Oakland High School of Oakland, Garrett County, Mary- land, United States of North America, lying between the Atlantic and Pacific gq Oceans, in the Western Hemisphere, fearful that our days are numbered, and be- ¥ ing desirous that our plans may be carried out after our departure, and inasmuch as we have been examined and found to be under the influence of Garrett county moon- shine, and having been pronounced of unsound mind, do hereby declare this to be our last will and testament: ARTICLE I. Item I—To the County Board of Education, we leave the surplus money from the year book for athletic equipment, as it is sorely needed. Item II—To our beloved and faithful Superintendent, Professor Rathbun, we will a radio to be used on week days so that he may preserve his present one for Sundays. ARTICLE II.

CLASS POEM In the background of my vision We studied hard to gain the goal There’s a memory still alive Through which we all must pass, How we were little Freshies To lead us on to life’s highway, In twenty-four an’ five. To bring success at last. We seemed to think that we were brighter Each one must master his own arts Than Freshmen could possibly be To aid him on in life, And that we were more advanced in school To make the paths that each must tread— We thought everyone could see. To bring success or strife. But still we mounted higher— Some are sorry to say “good-bye”, Sophomores! Oh, boy! While others are happy to go, And then as Jolly Juniors— For each one knows his own desires We all were wild with joy. And each has his own “row to hoe.” But we as Seniors realized So farewell, dear old O. H. S., The other years were spent in fun, We leave you with a parting cry; And then we surmised Farewell, dear old school house, That our playful days were done. Farewell, dear old Oakland High. —M. G.

H. S. and demanded entrance and official recognition as the Class of ’29. Having gained entrance, we settled down to the stern business of showing the world that this was no ordinary class. The class, as a whole, did little in school activities beyond presenting several plays in the assembly and showing a real Christmas party for the boys, but several members brought athletic honors to the class. Alvy Clark, John Maroney and Charles Helbig were the proud possessors of the berths on the soccer team, while Ruth Cavis and Cecelia Duke upheld the honor of their section by securing berths as regulars in the volleyball team. As both teams were champions, we rested on our laurels content. September, 1926, ushered our class in under the name of Sophomores, which, by the way, means “wise fools.” Some of the faces of the last year’s class were conspicuous by their absence, but their loss was made up in some measure by the acquiring of a new recruit, namely, Kermit Lohr. Now as Sophs, we were predestined to guide the faltering footsteps of the “Freshies” aright, which we immediately proceeded to do. When the razzing parties were tabooed we proceeded to show the “Freshies” that we were superior to them in more ways than one. Mes The girls gained recognition by presenting the prize winning (?) play “Keney, Meensy, Minsy Mo,” in assembly. The boys also scored a sweep- ing victory in dramatics through a dialogue presented by the class comedi- ans, K. Lohr and L. Winters. So we again close our year’s record. With the opening of the present term the Junior Class was immediately organized with Lester Winters as president; Adeline Sincell as vice-presi- dent, and Helen Leighton as secretary and treasurer. It was during the County Fair that we evinced an unusual spirit. It was then that our class members won the vocational county-wide cattle judging contest. It was won by Archie Ridder and William DeBerry. This was the first cup won by the Juniors. It was through the efforts of our soccer team that we were able to be victorious over Accident this memorable day. We were most ably represented by Captain Casteel, Winters and DeBerry; on the volley- ball squad by Helen Leighton and Martha Gonder; in girls’ basketball by Dorothy Stevenson, Dorothea Sturgiss and Blanche Gilbert; on the boys’ basketball squad (Garrett County Champions) by R. Stemple, L. Winters and K. Lohr (first team). Last, but not least, Dorothy Stevenson won first place in the County-wide Declamation Contest. Under the guidance of our class officers we have our faces turned hope- fully toward a banner Senior year, and, if we do not weaken, we shall show the other classes some dust. Until then, “Adieu!” —Kermit Lohr ’29. 34 OL 1928 — OFFICERS PYESIGeN Gaetan ae econ ee Charles Dodge Wice-Presidentee se. Geraldine Nordeck Secretary and Treasurer.....

We did make some We rather comical mistakes. What Freshman class doesn’t? But, un- like many, we have profited by our mistakes. At our first class meeting, Helen Offutt was elected president and Charles Dodge, vice-president. There were one hundred and five of us. Our motto was, “When the green wears off,” and our class colors were green and white. Early in October the boys were initiated by the upper classmen, but the girls escaped. As Freshies, we took a prominent part in the school parade of the Garrett County Fair, wearing green bands and hats. When we became Sophomores, we thought we knew almost everything, but we soon found that we had much to learn. Our number had decreased, but we still had a class of fifty-four. We have not done a great deal to attract public attention thus far, but we have tried to be a worthwhile class and we have two more years in which to prove how really worthwhile we can be. We’ve gone one more step in our ladder of life, We’ve left behind lots of pleasure and strife; We’ve gained a glimpse of a shining bright light (knowledge) Oh, to reach the goal we'll fight! fight! fight! —Gertrude Aronhalt 730. 36 vera adams margaret bernard elizabeth callis violet dewitt violet foster virginia giessman helen hinebaugh lavenia landis jacqueline lockyer alice mellott harriett oswell gertrude rexrode june sembower virginia shaffer annabelle stemple burldene sanders norma welling hasaleah yutzy bernadine canty virginia durst margaret fraley olive gnegy dora jane hipsley marie lantz katherine long wilma moomaw mary jane porter blanche ridder beulah shaffer mary sollars richard roy edna taylor olive wilt mary f yutzy OB Pee eres bruce smouse aft ares richard roy Green. gladys aronhalt helen bowers edwin shaffer helen faherty beulah friend pauline hauser virginia kelley lucille lowdermilk maxine martin marvin morris mary pysell lavina root mabel shaffer anna may sowers josephine stahl genevieve uphold leota wotring virginia callis margaret chaney pauline filsinger marie friend agnes helbig lulu kelley gladys lewis jessie moon mabel nine virginia paulie anna sembower twila shaffer sarah stanton nina sweitzer mary welling helen wyant elwood adams OFFICERS Secretary Treasurer Motto: darius uphole george comp ernest fultz lawrence hine- baugh dayton mosser walter rexrode dale ashby robert bowen bert falkenstine joseph glotfelty lewis wildman donald moore harland ridder leslie ashby lloyd bowers reginald ford fred groves allen kelley joe ours elwood riley harland beckman clyde calhoun william friend atwood harvey otto menear emmett payton paul riley bennie shaffer freeman uphole wayne wolfe harley dawson lindsay gonder harry hinebaugh 37 CLASS Weir 1928 — Peete virginia fraley SPACE wayne wolfe Ever onward! robert lohr donald stemple frank welling john stevenson lester white don colaw richard glotfelty harold hinebaugh robert lewis james nordeck joseph sollars forest warnick william spiker leon white maurice butler carroll forman eddie hinebaugh arthur lawton edward markley walter shreve david walter bruce smouse joseph welch philip bowman paul dawson wilmer graves elvin iman robert maloney thelma swearingen mary eva compton lawrence bittinger john holtschneider FRESHMAN CLASS HISTORY UESDAY, September 6, 1927, the Freshmen flocked toward Oakland High School, weary, terror stricken, weak and scared; mounted the steps, op- ened the door and walked in wide-eyed, there to meet Mr. Graser and the other teachers whose voices were calling, “Freshmen, this way!” After getting settled and the roll of nearly 175 Freshmen was called, the belt rang for assembly. Here we met Miss Conley, who told us what to do and gave us the rules of O. H. S. It took us several days to become accustomed to O. H. S. life for things were very different from the O. G. S. Then came the initiation, which was wrough unto us by upper classmen. Everybody enjoyed it—except us. And it came to pass, after we had met our duties (some of us all the way, some half the way and some not at all) day after day, month after month that those who came to class with no work and disobeyed rules came face to face with an “F,” got terror stricken, excited and withdrew, until now, the end of the third quarter our total is one hundred and forty. Although we are only Freshmen now, and the part we play is not such a part as the Seniors, we’ll just wait patiently and by the time we are Seniors we ex- pect to be just as good and just as great as the Class of 1928. We, the Seniors, wish them luck. —Richard Roy ’31. Could You ’Magine ???? Irva Ashby, without her lessons. George Altstetter, with his mouth shut. Marie Bernard, with something to say.

The Senior English class undertook to make the dream of several other attempts a reality. A staff was chosen and the work of editing the first issue began. The paper, little but good. made its debut October 26 under the present name, ‘‘The Acorn.” The interest and cooperation shown by the students and by the people of Oakland have made our efforts a pleasure. The demand for the little paper has proved that Oakland wants a paper of school news. So as a last High Schoo! wish the staff asks the Junior class to take up “The Acorn” next year, and we wish them all the good luck in the world. THE STAFF. Hiditormercarereti ot Leonard J.

It has improved the Department of Agriculture in various ways. month, when the three agriculture classes have an opportunity to come together in a group. Programs, usually of an agricultural nature, are given and entertainment is provided. The club aided in sending represen- tatives to the corn and dairy cattle judging contests at Frederick, sub- scribed for magazines and aided the Department of Agriculture materially in other ways. Among the activities sponsored by the Vo-Ag Club are: a Father and Son banquet, which was attended by eighty-seven people; playing basket- ball at the noon hour during the winter months; putting on play in assem- bly; trip to College Park and Washington.

At college, Mr. Speicher Wey WAS a three-sportsman, participating in football, baseball and basket- (OY, ball. In each of these sports he was a shining figure. When taking over the reins of coaching in September at O. H. S., Speicher showed his ability as a good high school coach. His patience seemed to be unlimited and at all times he was a gentleman, ready to share in work or play. Mr. Speicher is one of the best coaches Oakland High has ever had. Coach of Girls’ Athletics ISS Jean Hollar, girls athletic coach, graduated from Hood College in 1927. Miss Hollar coached the volleyball team during 1927-1928, i( and we wish her a successful season next year. In 1928, Miss Hollar iw organized a girls’ basketball team, the first girls’ team that has represented Oakland High in several years—and it was some team! Hur- rah, girls! Manager of Basketball Team AMES Dodge, better known to all as “Jim,’”’ has most faithfully per- formed his duties as student manager of the 1928 basketball team. sm We appreciate the interest and school spirit of “Jim,” and we, as a aia team, take this opportunity to thank him for the work and the time he has so generously given us and for the efficient results of his labor.

Oakland High would not be the splen- eed lid school it is unless we had our town behind us. We could not haye BASE received the fine education we have obtained unless our school was backed by the community. So it is to you, dear citizens of Oakland, that we extend a sincere vote of appreciation. Also we wish to thank each member of the Faculty for all the favors and help they have so cheerfully given us. We wish, too, to thank especially— Mr. Gilbert, for orchestral music at various school functions. Mr. C. N. McIntire, for furniture he so willingly loaned us for use in our several plays given at the Maryland Theatre. Mrs. M. Harvey, for hats used in our plays. Dr. Broadwater, for professional services offered to Oakland High Schooi. Mr. John Weber, for the use of his car to take our basketball team to foreign courts. Many times he has saved the day. Then, too, we thank him for flowers and plants loaned us for our plays. Mr. Lawrence Fraley, for the use of his car for out of town games. Mr. Wade Hinebaugh, who kept our basketball equipment in repair, “Just to help the school.” Thanks a lot, Mr. Hinebaugh. Mr. Grover Stemple, for the use of his car for out of town games. Stanton’s Taxi and Transfer. Mr. Stanton gave to our basketball squad exceedingly low rates for travel. We greatly appreciate his cooperation. Then last, but not least by any means, we want to thank Mr. Charles Welling. He has been with Oakland High many years and has always been a true friend to all the classes and helped them in many of their undertak- ings. Parent-Teachers’ Association On November 10th the first meeting of the Parent-Teacher Association of the Oakland High School was held in the school auditorium. The pur- pose of the meeting was to organize for the current year. The aim of the Parent-Teacher Association is to secure better co-opera- tion between the students, their parents and the teachers. The project of the Association this year was to enlarge the library. Several meetings were held during the current year and delightful programs were rendered by the Oakland High Students. The following officers were elected for this year: Presidents aero ates ic oe et Mr. Harry Porter Vice- Presidente. =. 1a... ane Mr. A. S. Ours Secretary and Treasurer.

An eastern town of about two hundred thousand inhabitants decided to raise five hundred thousand dollars for the erection and equipment of a hospital. It was decided to get first ten sub- scriptions of $25,000 each. This would give them half the desired amount. The other half would then be collected in smaller sub- scriptions. After some effort ten men were found; ten men each of whom agreed to give $25,000. Who were these ten men whe could afford to spare $25,000 of their earnings for a single char- ity? What was the technica! training or education that they had that had made them so suc- cessful financially ? Now get this—this is the point to be made—eight of the ten were graduates of business schools.
