Principal's Message To Seniors Dear Seniors: One of you will be the recipient of the one thousand six hundred fifty third diploma that I have had the pleasure of signing for you as a graduate of the Oak- land High School. As I sign your diplomas, with all the satisfaction that accompanies it, I cannot help but feel a degree of fail- ure in not having the opportunity to do likewise for the many who have not for sundry reasons completed their high school course. This reveals a problem not only for our school, but for high schools in general. Finally, 1 wish to congratulate each of you upon your achievement, — high school school graduation. May this achievement make it easier to adjust yourself in a way of life that will make you happy and use- ful citizen in the community of which you may be a part. PAGE FOUR THE ACORN SENIOR EDITION SENIOR EDITION THE ACORN PAGE FIVE (Class Ifistorg Senior Home Room Teachers CARL H. EVERLY ROBERTA M. COGLEY 0. A. WATSON jHao-k Rebate 152 students were enrolled in the fresh- men class of 1944-45. Officers were soon elected; Richard Leighton was chosen as class president. The main social event of the year was the freshman party which was held in the school auditorium on March 2. Games and dancing were the entertainment for the evening. Under the direction of Karl Smith, Dick Sprague, Tommy Lewis, and John Gaster, a floor show was presented. Fresh- man instructors posed for one minute sketches by Barbara Ann Jamma, David Whittaker, Dale Nickolson, Inez Harvey and Mary T. Naylor. IA and IB homerooms contested in a bat- tle of wits resulting lrom a challenge by 1A. Questions like What was Wendell Wil- kie’s middle name?” and “When was the first gas mask used?” were fired back and forth. In the civics class of IA there were 18 boys and one girl. The freshman year ran a close second to the senior year as far as activities were concerned. The next year Barbara Ann Jamma was elected president of the class. The class party was held the week before Easter, and tin Easter parade was the feature of the evening. Prizes were given for the ugliest, the craziest, and the prettiest hats. All hats had to be hand-made or they could not be entered in tho contest. In January the IIA homeroom presented “Elmer Cleans Up under the direction of Mrs. Ruth Brown. Ronnie Bittner portrayed Elmer; also in the cast were Martha Grimes, Richard Leighton, Mary Smart, and Mary Naylor. During the third year the juniors began to feel their importance as upper classmen. Marshall Moats, a veteran of World War II was elected president of the junior class, James Fitzwater, vice president; Marie Hardesty, secretary; and Richard Leighton, treasurer. Everybody in the junior class worked to- gether and produced a beautiful prom. A Mexican scene was set and memory cards were distributed. Ben Knepp, 11IC, sold $131 worth of sub- scriptions in the magazine campaign and got his choice of a Philco radio or a watch. Ben chose the radio. The senior class was filled with many activities for the class—ordering name cards, announcements, taking pictures and measurements for caps and gowns. Mar- shall Moats was again elected as class president; Ben Knepp, vice president; Geraldine Wagner, secretary; and Janoy Adams, treasurer. I VC and IVA both held homeroom parties, and IVB had a picnic. The last social event of the year was the senior class day. Before leaping into the first job that comes one’s way, it might be wise for him to look into some of the chances for advancement and re- quisites of that occupation. Surveys show that 75 per cent of all young people decide on their future occupa- tion between the ages of 12 and 17. Perhaps many high school students have already decided upon theirs. Are they certain that is what they really want and the one for them? First, one should find out what kind of work he would have to do. This can be done by reading about the job or by talking to someone who knows about it. Better yet one can visit a factory, office, or farm where the work is being done. All the oc- cupations’ duties and the way each duty is performed, should be learned. The next thing for him to consider is what type of person is needed for the job. Would he as a person fit it? Another important thing is to check on its physical requirements. Every person who comes into the world has a different indentity and must de- velop along his own lines. Some occupations require little training while others require a great deal. He should find out about the best places to take training if it is necessary. Everything possible should be found out about working conditions, length of work periods, overtime pay, and vacations. Close attention should be given to the working conditions since they affect one’s health. If one is looking for lifetime employment he needs to know as much as possible about its conditions. It should be found out exactly what wages or profits on the job will be. Are promotions frequent? If it provides enough satisfaction one may be willing to overlook low pay or poor working conditions. Last but not least one should avoid getting in- to a field already overcrowded by try- ing to pick an occupation which is going up. Everyone should be careful not to be a misfit! The world is full of preachers who should have been golf professionals, of carpenters who would have been crackerjack sales- men, of doctors who should have been farmers. PAGE SIX THE ACORN SENIOR EDITION Memories of 1948 Prom Will Linger Many Years Drifting and Dreaming Memories—oh, what beautiful thoughts recollected from that memorable evening, truly an evening to remember—the Junior and Senior Prom. You can hear the faint music floating out into the darkened night as you ap- proach the lighted building. Inside the lights are dim yet catching the shine of his polished shoes—the gold in her hair—as the couples sway to the strains of Moonlight and Roses played by Regis Kerns and His Harmony Eight and sung by vocalist Jay Bell. Then you hear the swish of taffeta against serge blending in with the strains of a waltz. The auditorium is decorated with a garden scene and you truly feel as if you are in a garden, as if it were you under the arbor in the backdrop on the stage or leaning against the picket fence with the beautiful roses winding around it. Bal- loons above catching the enchantment of the evening in their many colors. There you are whirling with the swaying couples in the last dance of the evening. Suddenly balloons are showering around you—you catch one and hold it tight so you will have something to remember from the wonderful evening. But if the balloon breaks and the remains, though treasured, waste away, you will never forget your prom, your first or your last at OHS. Everything is gone; nothing remains but sweet memory.
