In the teacher chosen, they have found one possessing these qualities. He is one who is highly democratic in his teaching methods, is always tolerant of the sometimes unsociological and uneconomic ideas expressed in his classroom and, one, above all who makes his class period joyfully anticipated. The class of Ianuary 1941, dedi- Cates this Oak to its ideal instructor-Mr. Webb Aldrich.

Jim has succeeded in his one real ambition, this was in itself, a feat, yet he had everything against him from the start. His small stature was against him as he played against larger foes, yet he made up for this by aggressive, and heady play. Jim was chosen on the Detroit Times All-State team. He also obtained the same honor when the Detroit Free Press selected their team. The crowning prize of all was his selection by Mr. Remington, at East Lansing, who yearly selects the of- ficial High School All-State team. Judge has proven, by his attitude on the fleld and off, that he is All-State calibre all the time. I PAGE SEVENTEEN The OAK PAGE EIGHTEEN FORMATION 1-William Corby Davis, Center.

LAST MINUTE INSTRUCTIONS PAGE 'rwmrrv-oNE The OAK 1 1940 FOOTBALL SQUAD Pontiac 12 Mt. Clemens 13 Grosse Pointe 7 Wyandotte 12 Monroe 6 Fordson 0 Ferndale 14 Birmingham 0 64 Let's have a big Yeah team!-that's the way, they certainly deserve all the cheers that we can give them. For the 1940 football team is a team of which ROHS can be justly proud. The Acorn gridders finished the seasons play with five victories against three defeats, and had the honor of placing many representatives on honor teams. The All- State selections claimed Jim Hartrick. Wilbur Pollack also received honorable mention for the same team. The opening kickoif of the season saw the Acorns pit- ted against a strong Pontiac team. The team displayed fine team work in polishing off the Chiefs 14-12, and to many observers it seemed as though the Acorns were in for another championship year. The next time out the boys failed to click and took a bigger pounding than the score iindicates from the mighty 1939-40 Border Cities Champions, Mt Clemens. Playing with a veteran team, the Bathers had little trouble in disposing the Oaks. The team tried hard to win against Grosse Pointe, but after a game with fellows the calibre of the Mt. Clemens team, it took them more than a week to recover their bearings. Thus loss number two for the season in a close game, 7-6. Two defeats in a row plus the ridicule of fellow stu- dents caused the team to perk up and really give all they PACL TWENTY-TWO Royal Oak 14 Royal Oak 0 Royal Oak 6 Royal Oak 13 Royal Oak 13 Royal Oak 7 Royal Oak 6 Royal Oak 3 62 had. This proved very successful, for the Acorns came back to life and gained three victories in as many games. They defeated Wyandottte 13-2, Fordson 13-0, and Mon- roe 13-6. These three wins in a row, plus the approaching Thanksgiving Day game with Birmingham, gave the boys the idea the Lincs from Ferndale were going to be a soft touch. You all know what happens when a team becomes over confident, well, the ROHS team was no exception. Although they lost by the score of 14-6 there are very few who saw that game who will not agree that the boys had a lot of fun. The final game with the Maples from Birmingham is always looked forward to by the team, and this year was no exception. Although they couldn't get worked up over Ferndale, it was a different story as far as this game was concerned. All those press clippings about the mighty Birmingham team made them rather hot under the collar. Heretofore the Maples had been un- beaten in their last eighteen games and were pre-game favorites. Worked up to a fighting edge, together with good blocking and tackling, and some fine signal calling by Judge Hartrick, the team was able to get the ball down to the Birmingham 18 yard line where Bob Martin put it through the uprights for the winning three points. Thus ROHS sended their season in a blaze of glory by beating their traditional rival 3-0. The OAK SPORT SHCTS 1 The OAK MICHIGAN FOOTBALL PLAYERS at football banquet Left to right: P. Kromer J.

PAGE TWENTY- FOUR Football Banquet '40 The OAK Plcture Courtesy of Daily Tribune Cross Country Though beset with numerous difficulties, the 1940 Royal Oak cross country team came through to win the State cross country meet under the guidance of Coach Bob Dunn. The first team consisted of Bill Thomas, Bob Robinson, Jim Gibbard, Jack McCready, Harold Carpen- ter, Clyde Johnson, and Bob Bassett with Bob Francis, Ralph Pierce, George Vorhees, and Alger Zaph acting as reserves. Sam Stout was elected captain, but illness prevented him from running. The boys elected Bob Robinson as captain and Sam Stout as honorary captain of the 1940 season. Several others were prevented from competing for various reasons. Harry Blair was ineligible. Clyde John- son worked at the beginning of the season but was out of the 2nd and 3rd meets and the regionals. Harold Carpenter was handicapped after he turned his ankle in the Monroe meet. The Royal Oak harriers won their first meet with Wyandotte 18-37 rlow score wins in cross countryl but lost to Flint Central, state champions in '39, in the second meet. Royal came back to win the 3rd match from Monroe 24-31. Royal Oak's old rival Flint Central took the regionals with the Acorns coming in second. The outlook for the State Championship certainly did not look promising. Enthusiasm, the will to win, good coaching, and perhaps the promise of a chicken dinner by Coach Dunn made the Royal Oak harriers state champions. One hundred five boys competed in the state meet. Bill Thomas placed 3rd, Clyde Johnson 4th, Bob Robin- son 6th, Jim Gibbard 9th, and Jack McCready 36th. When Coach Dunn was watching the Royal Oak boys come in at Ypsilanti where they were running for state championships, he saw them all in with the exception of Jack McCready. When Jack finally passed Mr. Dunn, he told him to try to pass the next men. Later Jack told Mr. Dunn, After you talked to me, I passed four men. If Jack hadn't passed those men, Royal Oak would have lose by one point. On the day of the annual Ferndale-Royal Oak foot- ball game Royal Oak was host to the Lincoln team. The Royal Oak Exchange Club donated a rotating cup to circulate between the two schools. The cup will remain with Royal Oak this year, the Acorn harriers having won 17-38. There are several prospects for next year who will help to keep Royal Oak on top. Bob Bassett, Jim Gib- bard, and Bill Thomas are among those who will return next year. Many others who are interested and show promise have not yet reached the eligible age of sixteen. Coach Dunn remarked that he expected a good turnout for next year's team.

John Redfield has contributed his fine singing, es- pecially remembered in the Ballad for Americans, the Mikado, and the Christmas concert. The ROHS Girls' Trio will be split as Betty Bremer graduates in June, and the school choir will yield a large number of members.
