VISTA of 1964 Oakwood High Published by the Senior Class of the Auglaize-Brown Local School Oakwood, Ohio Brenda Retcher Editor Kathryn Grimes Assistant Editor Jean McCullough Business Manager DEDICA TION TO MARCIA Marcia, who left a space in our hearts, God only knows why she had to depart. She left all her friends and kin behind, To join God in Heaven with those so divine. Tho we do miss her, this I must say, Maybe for her it is better this way. At least we know she ' s in good hands, With Christ in Heaven to wear golden bands. And with these words I leave you and Draw unto the end, For all of us who knew Marcia, Never knew a better friend. --by James Gary-- We, the Senior class of 1964, dedicate this, our yearbook, to the memory of our sadly missed classmate, Marcia E . Andrews . Her death, August 3, 1963, took a dear friend and a classmate from us all. Her memory will long live in the hearts of everyone. 2 CONTENTS FACULTY . 5 SENIORS . 13 UNDERCLA SSMEN . 27 GRADES . 33 ORGANIZE TIONS . 41 SPORTS . 59 ADVERTISING . 70 3 ANNUAL STAFF FIRST ROW: Sandra Yenser, Kathryn Grimes, Brenda Retcher, Jean McCullough, Mr. Humerickhouse.
