In This small way we at- tempt To express our appreciation fcr The many beneits we have received. Her years of unstinted service, unfoiling promptness, and her motherly magnanimity have increased the obligation for beyond our power to repay. . Ma, as she is affectionately called by many of her students, is completing her Thirteenth year as a member of our faculty. Her ability as a teacher cannot be ques Tioned, but more than That, she has been Confessor to the heavy laden, a fount of know- ledge to those who seek enlightenment, and o lust disciplinarion to some few in ignorance of the meaning of rules and regulafions. Admini tration l MR. E. A. QUAM Students, teachers, and patrons alike, in attempting to solve the perplexing problems which must arrive in every school system, 'rind a ready and sympathetic listener, and a man of great good sense and wide experience in Mr. Quam.

The Student Council, which is an organization of representative students to act as intermediary between the students and faculty, was an innovation of the year T932 The duties of this organization are to deliberate suggestions ot students, sponsor programs and ticket sales, carry out student-body elections, and oct as election board during ihe period of voting. One ot the body's main duties is to sponsor the annual Tornado Day program. The school considers membership in this body a high honor, that membership con- sisting of one member elected by the popular vote ot each high school class and the president ot each class. The officers of the council are elected at large from the student body, thus making a total membership ot eleven students. The ofticers at the body are Daniel Frojen, president, Dorothy Peterson, secretary-treasurer, and Frances Mueller, vice president. The class representatives are as follows: Phyllis Furan and Marjorie Olson, freshmen, James Carlson and Eileen Brennan, sophomores, Jack Botts and Con- rad Juelke, juniors, and Glenn Hotsommer and Frances Mueller, seniors. U21 CL SS S The above group is the first grade of the school year i924-5. These children are now grown men and women, some of them far from Oakes. In following out the his- torical theme of our l94l Acorn, we chose this group, the first flrst grade in the new building, as the class to represent Oakes Schools on the Classes page. How is it possible to identify these children, some of whom now appear so vastly different that similarity is no solution? Much can happen in the seventeen years which have elapsed since these boys and girls attended their first year of formal school. The Sherlock Holmeses, however, have been busy, and only a few of the above group are now strangers to us. Let us look at the back row. That first little boy on the left has us stumped, but the second is Raymond Jackson, present location unknown The third is Ivan Tobias of Oakes, and number four has us stumped also. Five is none other than William Seifert of Oakes, six is thought to be Leonard Harris, and seven is Roy Buland of Fargo. Eight and nine are perfect strangers, but ten is Bud Hoar, U. S. N., Hawaii, eleven is Elgin Perkins of Oakes and twelve is Philip Wilson. All but one of the girls in the second row were named readily. They are Judith Henium, Phebe Andrews, Kathleen Bunker, Eileen Radke, Bernidette Murray, Margeurite Boethling lOakesl, Jeannette Werre lFargol, Mardell Johnson lDickinsonl, Dorothy Miller lFargol, and Miss Unknown Quantity. ln the front row we see more familiar faces. The girl is Lorraine Pederson of Elbow Lake, Minn. Then comes John Roney lOakesl, Glenn Featherstone lOakesl, and a gen- tleman allegedly named Del Coy. Number five with the grin is a deep, dark mystery. Six, if we can trust the teacher's spelling on his class report, is Chester Oakerlund. The next boy is Lynn Clark, then another unknown, and, finally, Mike Bommersbach of Oakes. U31 eniur Berdine Anderson Flickertail Glee Club-1, 2, 3, 4 Robert E.

There are but thirty-five members, but the small size of the class has not kept it from placing a good many of its members in the extra-curricular activities of the School. Five girls from our group have taken an active part in the local Girl Scout troop. We have one of our members, Shirley Peterson, on the high school pep squad. Three of the boys in our class soon will be Boy Scouts of Eagle rank. Eight Sophomore boys found places on the football team last fall. The basketball team has felt the need ot two of our boys. The high school glee club now has twenty three Sophomores among those enrolled. Our class president is James Carlson.

T221 CTT TTTE 5.4 19 40 CHORAL FESTIVAL One of the most representative activities of Oakes High School is the annual choral song-fest, in which Elle-ndale, Edgeley, and Lalvloure high schools ioin with Oakes in presenting a program of selected choral numbers and separate glee-club numbers. The group is composed of some 200 voices. Professor H. C. Rowland, director of vocal music at our State University, is the director of this group. The individual schools train themselves on the pre-selected music for the festival, Professor Rowland visits each school once to rehearse with them, and the entire group meets in the afternoon for a short practice together. This very brief meeting is the only chance these young men and women have of vocalizing together hefore the performance. All those who have seen one of these presentations and heard the group sing, will attest to the worthiness of the activity, and the fine quality of entertainment that is pro- duced. Professor Rowland deserves the gratitude of this entire district for his fine work with these young people, for which he receives no remuneration other than the pleasure derived from doing the kind ot work he loves.

To The Bison Society This year is one to be long remembered. After losing three years in succession, the Bison came back to win this year and to be The first To have its name engraved on The new trophy, which will become The permanent possession of The society which wins Three successive years. This yearly competition between The Two societies reflects The desire on The part of The originators of The groups to discover and develop musical and dramatic talent. The groups are democratic in spirit, intending to give every student who wants it a chance to perform in front of an audience.

It was a well balanced group and, before the end of the year had played for convocations, Junior play, basketball games, and the Dickey-Lalvloure Association Band Festival. This festival was sponsored by the local band, and a group of some l4O musicians from l.aMoure, Edgeley, Ellendale and Oakes participated. The festival was directed by Professor J. A. Holvik of Concordia College, Moorhead, Minn. During the present year, although the group was hard hit by graduation, it has grown into a more competent group, having gained in size and experience. There are now 46 musicians in the group, and the type of music is much in advance of that used a year ago. Concentration on pep tunes, popular songs, and novelty tunes has been the main thing on reheasals for the year, as the group plans to appear at all basketball games again with a completely new program from that used in the previous year. Mr. David M. Washburn, band leader, is the organizer and director of the group. He has been with it from the start and has done an excellent job with many beginners, giving freely of his time after school hours for private lessons free of charge to these boys and girls who otherwise would be denied this fine training. Mr. Washburn has also directed the Oakes City Band during the past year.

In the past two years, Scout Troop l47 at Oakes has had three major obiectivesp namely, to establish a well equipped troop room, to equip the troop with uniforms, and to advance the troop in scouting ranks. The tirst obiective has been almost realized. At the present the troop has a room equipped with scouting lore ot all kinds. Patrol tables painted in troop colors and marked with the emblem of each patrol, stand in the respective patrol corners. In the chest which each patrol possesses is first aid equipment, signal flags, ropes, tents, and other needed material. The second objective has been partially attected. More than three-tourths of the troop possess some part ot the scout unitorm. The troop as a whole has made very rapid advancement. In the past two years 34 tendertoot ranks have been awarded, 26 second-class ranks, seven first-class ranks, ten star ranks, nine lite ranks, and more than QOO merit badges. A patrol advancement contest was held last year, being won by the Eagle patrol with a total of 500 points. An explorer patrol has been organized for the older scouts who wish to participate in advanced scouting. This spring the troop will take part in a jubilee teither inter or intra- troopi, which will test the boys in their scouting craftsmanship in many ways. Each summer many of the local boys spend a week at scout camp where they brush up on the fine points of scouting, meet boys from other areas, and have a good time generally. Most of the scouts go to Camp Wakpala. Troop T47 is sponsored by the Oakes Lions Club, and directed by a committee ap- pointed lay the club, The chairman is L. C. Mueller, other members being R. W.

In T936 the local American Legion Auxiliary decided to sponsor Girl Scouts ot America in Oakes, and Mrs. A. H. Denning organized two troops. Under the leadership ot Ethel Karpen, sixteen girls were organized as Troop 2. Ot the original sixteen, Betty Lou Hoar, Donna Jacobchick, Norma Jean Enger, Bernice Carlson, Bertha Carlson and Frances Mueller are still members ot the troop. Others in the group at the present time are Patty Hample, Doreen Dethltson, Avis Beeler, and Marion Corbit. Until this year the group followed the scouting manual and worked tor badges. As a result Betty Lou Hoar, Bernice Carlson, and Patty Homple are tirst class scouts. Most ot the other girls are second class scouts, and hope to be able to meet the requirements .tor ttrst class scouts by the end of the year. For the past three years the troops have been successful in raising enough money to pay their expenses at Camp Wakpala. Most ot this money was earned by selling Christmas cards and official girl scout cookies. This year the group is registered as Senior Girl Scouts. This means that the mem- bers are engaging in a different program from other years, a program that is more adapted to an older group. The stress is on personality, and the purpose is to teach the girls how to get along better with other people and to be more selt-reliant. Each girl has her turn as leader, selecting the subiect matter in which she is particularly inter- ested. To these girls scouting is a combination of work and play. They have parties at which they learn new games and new songs. They believe they can have fun and learn at the same time. Miss Eleanor Lewis is director ot the group.

In that group were nine mem- bers of our Class of 1941, Hazel Baker, George Cook, Martha Glaser, June Larson, Maurice McCloskey, Mariane Nichols, Dorothy Peterson, Genevieve Sanders, and Harold Trett. Through twelve fleeting years we played, worked, laughed, wept, and lived together much as the members of a large and loving family. We have shared each other's troubles, misfortunes, glories, and success. Now, as the time draws near for us to part, let us draw together a few of the threads of the past, tracing the develop- ment of our Class of 1941 from its original nine children to the 59 young men and women who now make up the group of which we are so proud. Our teacher in the second year was Miss Hutsinpillar. No new members were added that year, but as third graders under Miss Hubbard, we welcomed four additions. Nordie Featherstone, of Oakes City Schools, Louise and Alvin Hansen, from Divide No. 2, and Clarence Stenquist, from Valley City, came to us that year. In our fourth year Berenice Carlson and Marilyn Perkins came to us as we labored through our lessons under Miss Gillette, who also taught our group in the fifth term. Kieth Karpen came from Steele, N. D. in that year. As we passed into our sixth term of school, we felt a thrill of accomplishment. To us the sixth grade was really a coveted group and membership in the body gave us a prestige to be envied by all. During that term Frances Mueller came from Haynes, N. D. to ioin our ranks. Our teacher that year was Ma Bailey, now the only remaining member of our teaching staff of the lower grades. ln grades seven and eight we were flattered by having different teachers for the various subiects. Being important enough to merit the attention of specialists was a good feeling. Our teachers were, Miss Christianson, Mr. Sussex, Mr. Rife and Mr. Cummings. CliFford Kraft came to the group in the 7th grade from Verner No. 3. In the eighth year we were joined by LeVone Olson who came to us from Norway School No. 3. In the year 1937, something in the way of a miraculous change began to be no- ticed in our group. As members of the Freshman Class of Oakes State High School, a newly found dignity and social position was ours. Girls began to wear silk stockings and to compete with each other in neatness of dress and coiffure. Boys began to abolish grubby knuckles and marble playing. The Class of '41 was growing up. ln our first year of high school, there was a large group of new students. We list those below with the previous school address of each student. - Name Anderson, Berdine Anderson, Robert E.

This year Clarence Anderson of Oakes, Frances Backley of Ellendale, Robert Corbit of Milton, Lynn Jacobson of Oakes, and John Webster, of Oakes joined us. Mildred Voikuvka, who attended school at La Moure last term, returned to finish with her class. Thus we have accounted for all of the members of the Class ot 1941. Soon we will have completed our high school education. Each young man and woman will seek his place in society, much as water seeks its own level when poured on uneven ground, The uncertainty of normal times is made greater by the confusion existing in the world now. We know that some of us will wander, and perhaps be lost, the paths of our existence will be various and widely separated. To each of those whom we are to lose in parting we say, Hail, Brother, and Farewell! May you ever cherish the memory of our years together, and the love we held for each other.

Dierenfield HISTORY OF OAKES IN AN ACORN SHELL Oakes, the City of Opportunity, has an interesting background and one that is typical of the frontier life and time from which our city had its origin. The site of the town was well prepared by nature for the purpose to which it has been put. Topography, soil, and location lend themselves nat- urally to the demands of a townspeople. The first settler on the present town-site was an Irishman named William Mills. His sod shanty stood on part of what is now Fourth Street. The man who was responsible for organizing a town was W. K. Cook, general right-of-way agent for the Northwestern railway. .Mr. Cook secured options on land owned by Mills and another homesteader named Jones, and began the job of laying out the town. He used the very good judgment of having the main streets follow section lines, running Union Street along the east and West line and Fourth Street on the north and south line. The original plat was filed with the Register of Deeds on September 15, 1886. The name Oakes was given to the town in honor of T. F. Oakes, at that time Vice President and General Manager of the Northern Pacific Railway Company. The streets, instead of the usual sixty-live feet, are eighty feet Wide. The name did not come from the oak tree, but many of the streets were named for trees because of the similarity which the name of our city bears to the name of that mon- arch of trees. From Union south the streets are Elm, Ash, Beechq and Maple in order: north they are Cedar, Pine, and Oakg continuing in McCarthy Addition as Popla , Catalpa and Elder.

Breitwieser Practically all the land around Oakes had been homesteaded at the time the town was organized. The Grst city lot was sold for S250 to a Mr. P. S. Peabody. Buildings were moved here from Port Emma, Hudson, and Columbia. At the present time, between Ogden's grocery and the studio, there is an old sheet metal covered building which was moved here from Hudson. The C. M. C. store CFed- eratedl was one of the first business places in town, being operated by E. W. Bittman. The lirst bank in Oakes was organized in 1886. Mr. Thomas F. Marshall was the leader in this move. Mr. Marshal1's nephew, Mr. H. C. McCartney, was his oilice boy. Later Mr. McCartney be- came his boss' business partner. The Northwestern, Northern Pacific, and Soo Line Railways built branch lines into the thriving little city and many business establishments were built as the population of the little city grew .

The city of 0akes has always maintained the best schools possible for its children. The tirst school was held in a. little building on Second Street just north of where the Oakes National Bank is located. The first teacher was Miss Belle Brainard. The first school building was erected in 1887, on the south side of the block on which the new school now stands. This first building was two stories high, a frame structure, and contained four rooms. It was used exclusively until 1902 when a brick Wing was added, and the frame structure was brick veneered and remodeled. Two years latei another wing was added, and this served as the city school house for twenty years, except as it was necessary to provide more room before the new building was constructed. The St. Charles Parochial School was built on Fourth Street in 1907. It is called the Baldwin Memorial school because Mr. George Baldwin of Appleton, Wis., became interested in the school and gave a. quarter section of land and other support. It has maintained good scholastic standards and has good attendance, continuing in operation except for a period of three years from 1922-25, after which it was re-opened. Since 1924 the beautiful new school building has been available for the use of the children of Oakes. It is sufficiently large to accomodate all the grades from the first through the fourth year of high school, the last four years having an enrollment of 215 students alone.
