CLASS HISTORY History! That is something which is being made every day. No matter how minor the everyday occurrences in our lives may seem, yet we ourselves know that it is these trivial things which really constitute the history of our lives. We, the Senior Class, will soon end the history of our school days, but in return we will be privileged to think back and read the history of the class of '4l. In 1937 forty-nine freshmen first made a memorable path through the rooms of Oak- wood High School. It didn't take us long to make new friends and the initiation by the Sophomores made us shoulder new responsibilities that we had never tackled before. The honor of Class President was bestowed upon Walter Harris with a reliable group to work with: Vice President, Vivian Hornish, Secretary-Treasurer, Keith Matson, Reporters, Barbra Maddock and James Andrews. Miss Chase was selected as our Class Advisor. The class selected the American Beauty Rose as the class flower and scarlet and gray as our colors. We chose a motto which we thought would help us to stick together as a class, Onward ever, backward never. Our Sophomore year found forty-five of the class still traveling the road. The high light of the year was the presentation of the class play, HIGH SCHOOL MYSTERY. The group chosen to head the class was: President, Dick Robnolteg Vice President, Mary Ann Thrasherg Secretary-Treasurer, Donald Burtg Reporter, Barbra Maddock. Mr. Baumgardner was selected Class Advisor. There were a few members dropped out but Victor Loney, Junior Rickner, and Kenneth Spencer filled their places. Through the co- operation of the class we had a very successful year. This was the third year of that never-to-be-forgotten journey. With the following group: President, Donald Burt, Vice President, Lois Richardsong Secretary-Treasurer, Dick Robnolteg Reporter, Evalena Shaipg Advisor, Miss Pierce, we had a splendid year. Also with Vivian Hornish as Party Chairman we had a lot of fun. Donald Burt as the UABSENT-MINDED PROFESSOR in our class play was one of the big hits. The finishing of our task for the year was the Junior-Senior banquet. We were now on the last mile of our way. As usual the year was packed with many important events. Ofiicers of the year were: President, Donald Burtg Vice President, Walter Harrisg Secretary-Treasurer, Keith Matsong Party Chairman. Evalena Sharp, Ad- visor, Miss Pierce. We worked together toward one aim, the trip to Washington. CRASH- ING SOCIETY, the class play, was a great hit, and last but not least the Junior-Senior banquet was given in our honor. The end of the journey through high school has come and we are separated as class- mates but let us ever be friends! Page Seventeen lisa
