Oakes High School - Acorn Yearbook (Oakes, ND)

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

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.
