Like the Lumber- jack We have labored by thought and effort to hew down the men- tal and physical obstacles put before us. f-XX Seniors . . . Arthur LLll11bCl'j8Cli viewed his great oaks family with pride and said to himself: lVly family is a mighty one. They have conquered all the neighhoring peoples: they have marched over 'Uhstacles' as high as the sliyg they have hexvn down 'rlirouhlesl as fierce as twelve lions.

S . goal of graduation we shall do thus and so, because we are even now reaching that goal. If you will open the doors of memory, you will find many happy experiences and tasks accomplished here at Oakwood. We have all been closely associated either in sports, school work, or in extra-curricular activities. Some of our memories may not be pleasant ones, but I am sure the cause rests en- tirely upon our shoulders. Most of us have come to gradua- tion together from the elementary school or the junior high school. The past year we have been seniors, the topmost class, and some of us have been fortunate enough to achieve high honors. ln the coming year many of us may continue our education in higher institutions, some may begin a form of permanent work, and all of us shall reach a higher level. We all must re- member that into whatever field we go, we shall be new and inexperienced. As a unit we are confident of our ability and strength, but as individuals we must give more than our best to achieve the same strength. With the knowledge acquired here at Oakwood we should have the equipment needed to achieve a high standing in the outside world. To those classes which will some day reach our present peak we have every hope and desire that their fortune may be as great as ours.

Later we discussed problems of misfit girls ot' today and ways of approaching them helptvully. Girls have also brought to school worth-while magazine articles dealing with character and education.

All of' us, however, have known the sympathetic understanding which has been yours.

Harsh Mr. Martin t ' N 1 ali ' vi 'ISA ff' ' 1 FOREWORD The history we are here reviewing is more important than most histories. The eminent people mentioned have done and will, in the future, do more important things than any group of men and women ever assembled. We have just time to skim through this chronicle and get the most important names and events in every period. INTRODUCTION - The Dark Ages The introduction deals with The Dark Ages or kindergarten days. During this Stone tBlockD Age many prominent people, whose names appear with those ot' the graduating class today, were introduced into civilization. They are Charles Blank, Bud Gray tfrom whom the class gets its business abilityj, Phil Huffman and Elise Biechler ffrom whom the class gets its stump-speakersl, Betty Clement, Sherman Shonk, Dwight Prugh, also Iulian Lange and lack Storms fthe originators ofthe momentous intellectual powers ofthe elassl, Mary Louise Matthews, Charles Walter, Tom and john Ferneding twhom no one could possibly tell apartl, Sue Eichel- berger, Bill Siebenthaler, and the flirting three, even then, Marianna Rehling, Charles CBunnyj Nleyers, and Ianie Ohmer. Thus the tribe originated at what is now the Harmon Avenue School. I. The Age of Discovery and Exploration Lucy Ann Rice and Phyllis Eiehelberger, deciding that they would start exploration in the first grade, appeared in this period. Martha Lou Nlunday, the little girl with the big hair- ribbons, joined us as soon as they found her too smart for the kinder arten. Later on in the year, the author of this review, even then on the lookout for epoch-making material, decided to join us. Here in the Age of Discovery and Exploration, we discovered there is such a thing as learning. Ever since we have been trying to make use of this discovery. II. The Middle Ages-Part 1 Many prominent people joined our already worthy class in the second period. This Critical Period was destined either to make a class which would have lasting influence on the genera- tions to follow or be lost to posterity. The latter fate was not for this class! Ray Mack, Austin Young, Maliel Evans, and Maribel Adkins added their respective talents to those already possessed by the class, and Dane Prugh came to give lack Storms competition and to earn for the class the reputation of having the two most all-round boys in Oakwood history. III. The Middle Ages-Part 2 There was very much of historical importance in the third chapter. Therefore, more time will he taken in reviewing it. We met for the first time: Dick Lott, Laurence Nlorier, David Paull, Marge Davis, Nancy Levis, Mernie Arnold, Rosemary Lindeman, and Mary lane Boyles. Nancy Ohmer joined our class, having been held back a year because of illness. Tom and lohn Ferneding and Phil Eichelherger left the first of the year to return in the ninth grade. We must note that this year ended the annual Spring Festivals which had always been given on Talbots' lawn. We had been fairies and elves the preceding years. This year they ended the festivals with a big International Pa eant. We represented Dutchmen in the pageant. Yah, Tat is so !ll I Qi 9 il-t ci f' r M- JN. Q Baa M 7 4 -to li .,,7.-:fc l I i i l l Thus have we followed the fortunes of the people we will now have to call Harmonians, for Harmon School, to dis- tinguish them from a new tribe which first made its appearance in what they called The Cottages located on Shafor Boule- vard. The initial members of this tribe endured many hard- ships while their superior institute for learning was being erected. We shall call this tribe Shaforites, for Shafor School. It is well to remember that they were to become a rival, in later years, with the Harmonians for the superiority of all elementary schools. The foremost of the Shaforites were Cecile Fischbein, Helen Ankeney, Bob Ede, Wilbur Hall, jack Wolfe, Frances Slade, Lois Cornell, Lillian Feinerer, Dorothy Headington, Martha Wilson, Marianna Will, Eugenie Weber, and last but not least, Doris Van Patten. Thus ends the review of one of our most important and eventful chapters in our entire history. IV. The Middle Ages-Part 3 This year, the last of the Middle Ages, witnessed the many bouts at Harmon to determine who was the more skilled in the art of self-defense in spelling bees, arithmetic races, etc. It was here that Milly Hostetter joined us and first attracted every- one's attention by her blue and red checked dress. Bob Baker, Wilbur Deuser, Dot Pritchard, and Iim Kuhns came to help make the class even noisier, although the teachers had thought this an impossibility. The Shafor clan was increased not so much in quantity as guality this year by none other than Harry Burnett, Kenny itt, Alger Broadstone, Clarence Schuster, and Ieanne Moore. Ianet Gates and Austin Young decided to become Shaforites instead of Harmonians. At the same time Eugenie Weber left Shafor for Harmon. Could there possibly be any connection there, Austin? To sum up the events briefly, we came through the Middle Ages, The Critical Period, when the principal powers were wondering just what we were made of, with great success and no need for any Reconstruction, V. The Revolutionary Era 'Twas in this period, entitled the Revolutionary Era, that we revolted against the society which proclaimed us as its children. We were no longer infants! We now went to dancing-school and had love affairs just like grown-ups. Fran Slade and jackie Wolfe had the most prominent affair at Shaforg Ianie Ohmer and Laurence were the best pair at Harmon. It was during this Romantic Period that Steve Gilman joined our class. Perhaps that accounts for his bashfulness in spite of all Marge can do. Steve Smith came at this time, too. But it took Ianie Kiefaber quite a few more years to make him give in, after his first shock. George Nicholas was another new- comer during this chapter of our history. The Shafor group celebrated its entrance into their new school this year by presenting an Egyptian play written by the latest edition to the class, lane Liming. Other new members of the class were Solomon Maeder, Bill Nash, Charlie Thrasher, Mary Lewis, Iean Snyder, Marjorie Kennett, and Eileen Cornell. They all helped with the play, the costumes and scenery being made by the class members. The play was a gala affair. Even the Harmonians were invited. Cecile Fischbein did a toe-dance for Ianet Gates, the Egyptian queen, and Bob Ede, her king. Maribel Adkins left Harmon for Shafor this year. At the end of the year Lucy Ann Rice left us to return in the twelfth year. ln the spring the Shaforites held a Lawn Fete to dedicate the Kathryn Wright Park. VI. The Conservation of Energy Problem Here our teachers tried hard to make us do homework. On the other hand, we exhausted ourselves learning how to conserve energy. There were many royal football and basketball battles fought between the two tribes. Three new girls entered Harmon this year: Iane Kiefaber, jean Miller, and Betty Gallaher. The main event in this period was The Knave of Hearts play. We, the Harmonians, revealed that histrionic ability which has made the class of '36 so famous. The Knave himself was none other than Dane Prugh. The King was Dick Lott. The part of the Queen was played by Ianie Ohmer, who was then, in her innocence, not jitterized by audiences as she is today. Marianna Rehling was close runner-up for the part of the Queen. We remember that jane was so excited when she was going up to Dick's throne, that she slipped and fell down the steps, much to the audience's amusement. Other main parts were taken by Mary lane Boyles, Sherman Shonk, Phil Huffman Cacting natural as the court jesterj, jack Storms, Polly and Laurence. At Shafor many new classmates came to help produce another good drama. They were Harold, Bob Stein, Peg y Bossard, Mary Kay Burns, and Virginia Sonnanstine. Tie Shaforites wrote their own play, The Poor Count's Christ- gasu and Mary Kay was the Countess, Walter Hoefer the ount. During recesses this year in the winter we went coasting on the hills beside the school, and the girls played jacks in the lower hall. The sprin gave birth to that most novel game, the Ma gies versus tie Iiggs. The Empire, with us as its leaders, Tad been built during the past five years. We ended our elementary school days with a regular grown-up gradua- tion. VII. Disruption of the Empire Our advent into the seventh period of our history was a won- derful event. The Harmonians came into the High School, while the Shaforites stayed in their own building for just this year. Soon we were made to realize that we were only the pests of the school and our Empire was disrupted. We were now just another group strug ling for a lace in the sun. The new members who joined us at this lliectic time of our lives were Don Eckhardt, Fran Canada, and lean Hyre. Those who appeared with the Shafor group for the first time this year were Glen Maxon and Dave Altick. Walter Worman joined us this year, too. VIII. The Immigration Problem This eighth year experienced the fusion of Shaforites and Harmonians and their immigration to the new Oakwood junior High School. This immi ration brought many hard- ships to everyone. The new building was still in the construc- tion stage. Classes were interrupted by painters, men with blow-torches, foul-smelling paint which made those with weaker constitutions sick, men climbing step-ladders to fix the lights, etc. The new people who were so unfortunate as to come at this time were Glen Callander, Barbara Beem, Virginia Hopper, our Editor Betty Knoll, and Gladys Manney. Herb Rollins came the last semester, went to Chicago, decided he'd give us a break, and returned in the tenth grade. IX. The Labor Problem It was at the beginnin of the ninth year that the Labor Problem commenced. Tie teachers repeatedly told us that we should start working hard, that every grade counted and would be sent to college, and that we would be sorry later on if we hadn't taken their advice and begun to study. Thus it was that the Labor Problem first presented itself to us. l'm sorry to say that we found no solution for it at that time, and not many of us heeded the advice of our worthy teachers. We met uite a few new people at this period: Dale Allen, Bill Byrd, gharles Farler, Charles Leyes, Bob Burkhardt, Venita Strain, and lim Gibbons, who came the second semester. Virginia Hollinger, who had been with the class ahead since kinder- garten, then joined us so that she could play tennis in the afternoons. We ended our years at the Iunior High with a very fine record and a graduation exercise. lack Storms won the honor of being all-round boy and Dane Prugh and Bob Stein won the athletic honors. Nancy Ohmer won the girls' all-round cup and Ianet Gates and Milly Hostetter received the athletic awards. X. The Reformation New members whom we met in this period were Bob Engel- man, Hu h Howard, Iim Kuntz Cwith Mr. I.ewis's consent, although ine had been with the class ahead since the seventh gradej, Warren Loudon, Marfield McSherry, Charles Reitz, Carl Welhener, and Ted I-Iarroll. These inmates ushered in the period of Reformation, a new attempt at going brain-trust. XI. The Renaissance In the eleventh chapter an Industrial Revolution took place. There was a revival of learning, a Renaissance, when people decided to change their old ways and get down to work. The class average, at this time, rose three or four points and mem- bers of the class got more scholarship awards than ever before, Steve Gilman leading this group. Eleven junior boys received football letters this year. Important personages encountered for the first time were Ioe Hendrix, George Langley, Evelyn Hartzell, Virginia Humberger, and Eileene Smith. Jackie Wolfe, having left us after a certain party at Huffman's farm in the ninth grade, returned after a year in St. Louis. XII. Absolutism Under the Ahsolutism of our senior class the school has pros- pered as it never has before and never will again. Three people came this year to help us with our New Regime : Lewis Rock, Ira Iones Cthat accentlj, and Mary Wysong. Mary, coming straight from Washington, was sent as a government agent to supervise activities. We studied assiduously the long- lost Oakwood Constitution. The new Student Council was started with Lew Rock at its head. This year the football team was undefeated and unscored on through an entire sea- son. The girls' basketball team lost no games. It was a mem- ber of our senior class that won first place in the scholarship tests given at Steele. It is our class that has the best Acorn ever published. We feel that the effect of our senior regime will long be remembered and will dwell in history forever and everl if ir EPILOGUE The last chapter of our historical biography is yet to be written. Its contents lie in the laps of those gods who have so far successfull directed our achievements. I wish to express, at this time, tllie gratitude and appreciation of our class to the members of the faculty, especially our advisers-Mr. Harsh, Miss Harvey, Miss Stilwell, and Mr. Martin, who have helped to make us the extraordinary class we are today. We add but one short word in closing. Realizing the limited ability of the juniors, we trust that the history of their uneventful lives may be one-tenth as thrilling and epoch-making as ours has beenl Polly Frank SYA A Y 4- - . , f I g rf r f.

There were Iane Ohmer and Ianet Gates who owned the little storep Behind a counter was Eugenie waiting on Ieanne Moore. We strolled along in silent thought beneath Napoleon's arch: From two gendarmes, Welhener and Stein, we learned where the soldiers Brass buttons shone 'gainst bright blue coats as the men gave a saluteg Then Major Kuhns raised up his sword and gave the command to shoot. A street cafe not far away was run by Solomon Maeder. The singers, Humberger, Ohmer, and Evans, with Langley for a waiter, Pleased all old customers like Gibbons, Thrasher, Young, and Prughg And Schuster, Worman, Deuser, and Roth, the patrons also knew. Italian troops were marching by and brilliant flags were raised, On prancin horses by his side were Mussolini's aides. Baker, Huffman, Allen, and Mack in uniforms uite grand: And there was General Davie Paull from the Egmiopian land. In vineyards of fair Sicily we heard three maids in songp Among the clusters of purple grapes stood Adkins, Boyles, and Wysong. In a seaside villa lived Doris Van Patten. an authoress of fame 5 She wrote the life of Marjie Davis, who'd made herself a name. Where flows the wide and cooling Nile into the turbulent sea, A lighthouse stands in the edge of the rock which has in it keepers three: They're Walter, Burkhardt 'n' Storms 5 their cook's Miss Sonnanstine, Who visits the Cornells whene'er the weather's line.

A sound of tom-toms echoed far, and native tribes arrivedg march. Great chiefs-Broadstone, Hendrix, and Engelman-for many honors strived. In the land of the Turks our Stevie Smith ruled o'er a beautiful harem: On silken cushions he did lie with lovely girls to snare him. The fair beauties, Arnold, Rehling, F einerer, and Rice, With Matthews, Manney, and Headington for him made paradise. Prof. Morier took on a tour most any girl at all. Our Phil and lky, Marge and Mary gazed on the Taj Mahal. The two'Betties and Martha Lou were visiting the sages Whose tales of future happiness have come down through the ages. Dwelling in northern India where mountains reach the sky, Miss Hollinger had written books which all of us should buy. Our artist Marianna Will, climbing up a Himalayan peak, Was cheered by Martha and Rosie as her goal she did seek. On to Hawaii's sandy shore our shi did make its wayg We were to reach our own fair landpin just another day.

Cfhirtg-aix It has been the policy of this, the greatest senior class ever to grace the halls ol' this institution ot' learning and unlearning, to institute originality into its projects. Since we realize that we are liar superior to our under-classmen and that none of our scintillating qualities would be of use to the common herd, we have come to the conclusion that we should extract from the rest of the school those few qualities land they are fewj that we have not as yet acquired. Yve hereby appoint as executors Bob Burns fArkansas Buzooka virtuosoj and Governor Davey.

Charles Thrasher and his Thrashing Mzxcliines otherwise known as the Harvesters are to receive four-year scholarships to Podunk University from YVimpy Humberger, Ir. The bequeathment of Arthur McArthur and Eberle Bell, Hdapper dressers, is clever taste, and this goes to Dick ladies' man Lott and YVarren Loudon 3 while Marge Davis, Phyl Eichelberger, and Iean Snyder will learn how to dig gold from Mary Evelyn Wilbur and lean Weaver.

This has been demonstrated through outstanding achievement in the many fields of opportunity that Oakwood High School offers-the regular academic fields of English. history, mathematics, science, and foreign language: the fields of art, music, home economics, printing, mechanical drawing, and the industrial arts, also the fields of public speaking, dra- matics, journalism, commercial subjects, business management and salesmanship, physical education, and athletics. ln order to prove this achievement by the members of the graduating class, one needs only to recall the victory in scholar- ship by our seniors in the State Scholarship Test, the state victories in public speaking, the outstanding work in journal- ism with high honor national rating, the two senior dramatic events of the year, Growing Pains and Apple Blossom Time, the season's uncrossed goal record in football, and the many victories and well contested events in basketball, hockey, track, and baseball, in all of which the seniors were leaders. With this excellent beginning l am confident that our young people who leave us this year through graduation will think of the close of their high-school activities as just the beginning of greater accomplishment. Youth is the time to get a running start toward a worth- while career by getting the right preparation and the right direction. Great men and great women are first of all great boys and great girls who live on a high plane from youth to old age. Few individuals live up to their highest possible achieve- ment. ln the human family there are varying degrees of development of' God-given talents. Some make a large use ot' their talents, others make a small use of theirs. The right . measure ofisuccess in life is the degree to which we develop and use our potential powers in the major fields of human activity. We live and work and develop ourselves through our voca- tion and avocation, through our home and family, through our citizenship in the community, state, and nation, through our use of' the school and other educational agencies such as the press and the radio, through our spiritual development in the realm ofthe church. Uur own worst enemies are within us. These enemies are lack of' worthy ambition and foresightedness, lack of industry, indulgence, and whatever keeps us from doing our best. These are the enemies that we must fight in order to win the battle of life. It is my earnest hope that the Class of' 1956 be an outstanding one in developing and using their talents in the world of affairs. And may they also have all the joy and happiness that comes through achievement and through service. Sincerely, Y Arthur E. Clagga Z NBR P tv Page' Thirty ,-Ex Classes . . .

It came so fast and was so deep that the unwilling occupants of the camp were forced to remain there for forty- eight days and forty-eight hours. Even then no one would have lived to tell the tale if it hadn't been for Paul Bunyan II and his right-hand man, Babe the Blue Ox, more familiarly known as Hefty Hugh the Baby Snatcher. It must be made clear that Paul Bunyan II is not Paul Bunyan l, the he-man giant of the Great North Woods. He is better known around these parts as Watery Worman the Weasel, but in every other way he resembles the original hero of the north, being of tremendous size-some say he is so big that ninety-seven ax-handles would just barely measure him from hip to hip. At any rate, whether this be true or false, it can easily be seen that Worman the Weasel is no little fellow. It was really not until the forty-eighth day and forty-seventh hour that things began to go wrong. Up till that time life had been one grand picnic, for the ever- obliging Watery Worman with huge gusts of hot air from his lungs had melted the snow in the quadrangle, and the Lumberjacks spent their days swimmin around like so many fishes. But on the forty-eighth day and forty-seventh hour tie boiler ex- ploded. Immediately conditions became serious. The thermometer rose to 552 degrees in the shade cast by the kitchen sink, the air became heavy with hot water vapor, and white-capped heat waves came rolling out of the boiler room. It soon became a gen- erally known fact that many had drowned during their struggle to outswim the waves. Reverend Arsenic Altick laid to rest the poor little blues singer, Moldy Mernie the Mushroom, and Marge the Mighty CGod bless her soulj now lies beneath the feet of Venus in the main hall, while in the chemistry laboratories, on the topmost shelf, lie Pickled Prugh and Canned Callander. Now all this time Watery Worman the Weasel and Babe the Blue Ox were sitting on the skylight thinkin , and precisely on the forty-eighth day and forty-eighth hour they had their most briliant idea. lt was really a very simple thought-but then we know for a fact, that the simplest things in life are generally the greatest. It consisted of a mere snowball, a snowball carefully packed and carefully rolled down the front steps. Behind it lay a clear, clean trail of grass and in front of it high walls of snow. They rolled up Park Avenue to Pete's and down Far Hills to the Coffee Pot, they rolled it up and down all the little pathways and byways in the Lumberjack Camp, until there was not a road left uncleaned. Only one tragedy occurred, and that was the disappearance of the camp clerk, Kenny Dirtslinger, born and baptized Prickly Pitt the Pickle. His mysterious disap- pearance caused much excitement in the log ers' camp, for Kenny was the sole possessor of all the notes and minutes taken down during the forty-eight days and forty-ei ht hours that the Lumberjack Camp lay buried in the snow, and without them what roof had they of the many weird things that had occurred. In fact, if it must become known, Kenny the Dirtslinger was never again seen from that day to this, though it's often rumored on dark, snowy ni hts, that Kenny, along with his precious minutes and notes, now lies entombed in tiat giant snowball that stands on the south side of the Lumberjack Camp. But nobody knows, and nobody will know until the proper time comes-and that time lies many, many winters away-for in spite of efforts of both Babe the Blue Ox and Watery Worman the Weasel, who come annually to huff and to puff great gusts of hot air, the giant snowball melts only ond and three- quarter inches per year. The camp mathematicians, after weeks of laboring over graphs and plotting charts, have definitely stated that in the year 1946 the snowball will be only as small as a two-car garage and that in a hundred years or so, if the weather remains warm, it will have decreased to the size ofa small grapefruit. They hope by that time to have extracted Kenny the Dirtslinger and his important papers. Helen Ankeney Page Forty-eight fm L ww Q 1, we 'W--Q.

A Lumberjack Reviews the Season The 1955 fall football season at Oakwood was, in the sport sense, a complete success. Football, the most popular game with the players and spectators alike, enjoyed unusual victory. For the tirst time in Oak- wood's football history, the team was undefeated and unscored upon. The line was ably held by such veterans as Prugh and Storms at ends: Harroll at centerg with Greene, an able substitute, XVorman and Kuntz at the tackle positions: and Blank, with lra Jones, doing a great job at guard. Stevie Smith, who led the .Wliami Valley League all season in points scored, was the mainspring in the baeklield and with Stein, Renner, and Yvorthington, formed a iertiect set otifour backs. Congratulations should go to the hard-working substitutes who generally tallce the punishment from the varsity and indirectly lnake them great teams. The hockey team ended its eighth season of successful plaving. Oakwood is proud of her stalwart girls who light weather and opponents to keep up their wonderful reputation. Captain Gates is backed with a nearly perfect team including Ohmer and Fitzgibbons, wingsg Frank and Arnold, centers, Davis, center halt' back: Ca vtain Gates and Eichelbergcr, innersp Kiefaber and Hostetter at Halfbackg Clement and Ashley at liullliack positionsg with the goals protected by Hunt. Fairview and Oakwood tied in an exciting game played in deep mud. This year concludes the hockey team's second consecutive season ot undeteated play. The basketball courts were substantially upheld this past season by one ot' Oakwoodls strongest cage teams. The boys who returned from last year's varsity were Wlorman, Nlack, Prugh, Storms, and Renner. They came through the season winning eleven games of the tifteen played. By beating Fairmont, Oak- wood reeeived a trophy sponsored by Dr. Bartholomew of Fairmont, to be kept by the school which wins the Uakwood-lfairmont game two years in succession. Our season was capped by two great tournament games at. the coliseum. Page I ifIYv-fwfr A Lumberjack Reviews the Season CContinuedJ The einder squad of 1950 was one ol' the most successful ones that has ever lveen produced at Oakwood. Besides the many records held over from previous years, the team has won several additional cups for the mile relay this year. The team consisting of Prugh, Young, Breidenlwach, and Smith really went places. breaking tracls records at both Nliami and Ohio Yvesleyan. Charles Thrasher broke the school record on the high-jump event, and Ray Black came very close to pole vaulting 11 feet. YVorman, llarroll, and Kuntz threw the discus, and all got well over 100 feet. The shot put was alily put liy Kuntz, llarroll, and Stein, Breidenlrach proved to he one of the best sprint men in this district, winning every l00-yard event entered. Stevie Smith turned in great times and a good record of wins for the 220-low hurdles. The diamond turned out to lie much more fortunate than the track this past season, regarding stadium construction. A large squad tried out for positions on the hasehall team, and under Coach NVood's direc- tion the team set out at the beginning of the season to attain great achievements. Their hopes were substantially upheld. Heitmann, Hartmeier, Flack, Harroll, Blank, and Storms were the outstanding players. Storms lrehind the hat not only caught well lxut received a high lwatting average. The weather seemed to be rather varied during the season and the team was rained out on several occasions. Nliss Hayner's and ltlr. Hummon's racket squads came through a very exciting season, winning most ot their games. Ira Iones and Dick Pohl were the outstanding single players on the boys' team. Nancy Ulimer and Milly' Hostetter played a great season on the girls' squad, but the weather conflicted here, also. The golf team consisting of Storms, Deuser, Lehr, and Adlcins upheld Oaliwood's golf records. N J W- , n ,' ,. 421, f, -efJ.N x-' I wx' If an kk fi- - Qxvfk '-. gl...

The smiling faces of Baker and Worman are seen in the foreground. In fact, everybody smiles the first day. OCTOBER 17 If you were listening to WSMK on this particular night, you heard the famil- iar strains of Stand Up and Cheer by the Oakwood band, and peppy talks by our coaches. NOVEMBER 1 Oakwoodites eagerly clamb- ered aboard when the S. S. Lumllerjack docked at 9:30. Iack Walkup and his rhythm boys furnished plenty of music and noise. NOVEMBER 1 On the same night that the S. S. 1llll7l!It'l:jYlCk sailed into port, a group of jolly young sprites had a party of their own in the Iunior High. Dain led the grand march with all the feathers of his tribe. NOVEMBER 27 Thanksgiving Day was brightened for many needy families by the overflowing baskets which each home- room gave. What a pleas- ure, to share! NOVEMBER 28 In the last fray of the sea- son, the Lumberjacks val- iantly defended their goal line in a sea of mud. Both players a n d spectators proved their spirit. NOVEMBER 29 Everybody had a wonderful time at the Hi-Y barn dance-especially Kenny Pitt who so fell in with the surroundings that he started calling pigs. DECEMBER 13 In the hilarious comedy, Growing Pains, Ginny and Huffy tore each other's hair. Marianna strutted her stuff, and Lew was really an absent-minded professor. Yes, the audience had pains, too-of laughter. DECEMBER 20 The joyful notes of an old carol began the Christmas Cantata, King of Kings. The beauty of this presen- tation filled us all with the Christmas spirit. JANUARY 21 'Twas the day 'fore exams, And all through the night, They were anxiously scrib- bling On cuffs left and right. IANUARY 26 The public speaking depart- ment has brought more honors to Oakwood. At the local, state and national contests, Oakwood contest- ants twirled their tongues to victory. FEBRUARY 7 The black and white min- strelites afforded many a laugh. Alewegius and Wea- zel-Puss rollicked through scores of puns while the other entertainers furnished a background of gay music. MARCH 12 and 14 Teachers and parents-hit play. Everyone from hero- ine Miss Bickham, and hero Mr. Wood, down to the fluffy Pekinese portrayed his part with excellence. Big Business was good to the last drop of the curtain. MARCH 28 Iessie reigned as queen of the Blue and Gold Prom. Michael I'Iauer's rhythm and Gowdy's coke-selling ability made the evening a whirling success. Martin's men really know how to throw a party. APRIL 24 And then in the spring came Apple Blossom Time, in which Frances and George headed the cast. Marge exhibited her wiles and the rest of the cast did their share to win great applause. APRIL 1 to MAY 51 Then came that famous da , Baseliall bats hurled with play. 1 Tracksters dashing o'er the field, Tennis rackets did others wield. And last, but not least, a hole in one Which roved to the world What Sakwood had done. MAY 1 and 2 Full of knowledge and music, some of our members traveled to Oxford, to bring honors for Oakwood and for themselves. May means Miami to many students. MAY 22 and 25 The scintillating comic opera, The Marriage of Nan-Nette , climaxed all the preceding events of the year. Nancy and Dane headed the cast of merry music makers. JUNE 2 Wlith solemn pledges in their hearts, our seniors bid Oakwood goodby and turn to greet the future with all the hopes offered by the unknown. We wish them luck! IUNE 4 A delightful farewell was given for the seniors. Some of our members were step- ping for the last time on each other's feet as they twirled about the dance floor. But who minds sore feet? Page Seventy-seven LOG OF THE LUMBERJACK JOURNALISTS ...N-. At the end ofthe season's labor we thumb the pages of our log book in happy reminis- cence ofthe work which we have accomplished during the past months. September, 1955-The junior and senior Lumberjacks met in an assembly and decided what club or council they would join this year. One hundred and two of them decided on Iohnny tlournalistl lnkslinger's group. After performing feats of skill to try their mettle, the journalists elected a chief fKnow-All Knollj and a camp spy tMerry Man Maxonl to serve throughout the year. Editor Knoll and Big Boss Lesser selected as managers and assistants other choice woodsmen, who had already proved themselves able to wield an axe right well, and then spread the news to all the camp. October, 1955-We had no sooner begun our work than we realized the need of calling in some professional logrollers. Advance Scout Storms ran to neighboring settlements and consulted various viewsnatchers, one of whom tthe Cornwell Kidl was hired to begin activities at once. Here arose the question of pay, and plans were laid to canvass the campers before the next new moon. Surveying also began, with results recorded in the book called the dummy. November, 1955-Appointed chairmen canvassed the camp for subscriptions and ads to pay the workers they had hired or would need to hire. Since the task was not easy, prizes were sometimes offered, and once the promoters even had to perform a dramatic skit to get under the skins of the tougher victims. Meantime the Cornwell Kid be an taking pictures of all senior campers as a part of his ethciency expert program. Wien definite plans needed to be made for felling the trees, the Whistler fengraverj gave good advice, which the club artists carried out. December, 1955-Hefty Huntzinger from Piqua came to get pictures of all the log- rollers in the camp. We put in bids for Iohnny's assistant, the printer, and chose Somebody Shroyer from Ottertbeinl Camp. Ianuar , 1956-We solicited Lumberjacks who had left the camp last year, and closed the campaign with over five hundred subscriptions. The Whistler encouraged us to complete our plans for cutting, and the Cornwell Kid finished the senior sittings. February, 1956-NI. lnkslinger began recording the year's activities of all the camp- ers, while Know-All Knoll dictated what to say and how to say it. Merry Man Maxon spied around and obtained choice tidbits to enliven the record. March and April, 1956-The writing continued feverishly with the assistance of Fishbone, Lotto, Mernie, and other Lumberjack journalists. Little time to write in our log book. April, 1956-Gathergold Gray supervised the use of money raised, so as to distribute it fairly to all the professional workers. Meanwhile the river was rising, and it was high time the logs were rolled down the river, said the Big Boss. Signatures of friendly Lumberjack patrons and approval of the ads Cwith paymentj were secured in the tinal drive by Polly, Buddy, and Bunny. May, 1956-The final checking was done, the last stray logs were laid in place, and the campers all jumped aboard, rolling merrily down to the mouth of the river where they might tell tall stories of their heroes' strength and the wonderful work of the season. june, 1956-The shipment was received.

R-.u.Q. xL.:.,Q.,L..,. - Wav-W-64 QQ-+1 As faculty adviser of the ACORN staff, I wish to congratulate the people of this community upon their splendid spirit in the promotion of this publication. Since the actual cost of each book is about twice the amount the student pays for his subscrip- tion, it is only through the support of the patrons and advertisers that wide distribu- tion of the books and broad training for the staff are possible. Besides building a priceless memory book for themselves and underclassmen, the seniors and others who do the work build new and varied experience into their lives- experience not only in writing but also in business organization, salesmanship, photog- raphy, art, editing, printing, engraving, and stenography. Most of all, they gain experience in problems of personnel, living and working together. Then, after long months of hard work, a real book begins to take shape and the workers experience the joy of creative labor. Goldie D. Lesser.

And in those few years, Frigidaire, together with the pioneers in Dayton who are re- sponsible for its growth to world prominence, has led the Held in al- most every single advancement that has come to the industry. First, it was the wide-spread education of the pub- lic to the necessity for proper refrig- eration. Then it was the enlighten- ment of millions as to the savings made possible by mechanical refrig- eration. Always has Frigidaire led in development of a product that con- tinuously has been the standard by which refrigeration is judged. Now, in 1936, Frigidaire still is pioneering . . . still is the leader in what we believe will be another great advancement in the industry. Frigidaire knows what it is that the public expects of a refrigerator. A refrigerator, to be worthy of the money invested in it, must keep safe temperatures for the proper preserva- tion of food. It must operate at the very minimum of cost. Speed of freez- FRIGIDAIRE CORPORA ing, convenience in use and the repu- tation of the maker are fundamental elements which the public considers vital. Until recently one or two of these essentials were found in some refrigerators. But seldom were all of them present. And so, the public was not getting what it was paying for. So this year, Frigidaire launches a program designed to point out that a refrigerator must meet All Five Standards for Refrigerator Buying. 1. Lower Operating Cost. 2. Safer Food Protection. -3. Faster Freezing- More Ice. 4. More Usability. 5. Five- Year Protection. The New Frigidaire with the Meter-Miser meets All Five Standards . . . and Proves it! Now, for the first time, countless thousands of people are learning how to buy a refrigerator, how to get true value for their money. It is our earnest hope that soon all America will recog- nize the truth of this program, for not only will Frigidaire's most recent pioneering contribution save the pub- lic millions of dollars every year, but it will also assure them better health through the safer preservation of food.
