At that time a great sea covered this area, as the land was re-elevated, inland seas, containing much gypsum in solution, were formed. The climate then being arid, these seas evaporated, leaving a deposit on the ground much as scale is formed in a teakettle when the water boils away. Through the years geological formations have occurred, so that gypsum is found here about 75 feet below the surface. Since gypsum had played such an important role in the development of our fine community, we have chosen it as our theme. iftv Gypsum has not only helped to build Oakfield and provide jobs for many area 'lim by T i workers, but has also made Oakfield unique in Genesee County, in that ours is the 1 only mining community in this county. Because of the many positions that have to gggg. be filled at the local gypsum plant, many respected, intelligent people have come to . live in Oakfield, thus enriching our society. 5, we f,,,,, T '3L This natural resource and its concerned processes correspond so closely to our ,fr school and its activities that our theme fits easily into the pattern of the Oracle. The Board of Directors and the supervising heads of the gypsum company corre- . N--+-- spond to the Board of Education and school administrative personnel, their engine- g st y i ers parallel our teachers, the gypsum being mined, processed, and marketed may f do Q' be compared to the knowledge and skills gained in the lower grades, further .... 1 developed in the upper grades, and put to use by the graduating senior to build his life. The practical application of gypsum to its many uses is much the same as putting talents and skills learned in school to use on the athletic field, in a ' ' , musical concert, or in public speaking. ...A With these thoughts in mind we, the Oracle staff, proudly present the -f 1f T 1952 Oracle, l .-4 -'W A-1-,S f ,,,, .aw 'Qs FQ- M 4 A ,v ' '- 4 hp A W k,,L. 3 lg s I I , K .. -f 'dugg ,.-I N' of C flu.: DED!CATION The right to own and operate a business by an individual or a group of individuals is known as free enterprise, This right is one of the resaons our freedom-loving country is so great. From 1825, when a farmer digging a well near Five Corners discovered an in- teresting soft white stone - a mineral introduced into this country from France as a fertilizer by Benjamin Franklin and by him called land plaster - and stimulated the opening of the first gypsum mine and mill for grinding this sbustance into fertilizer again in 1892 when Stephen Olmsted using a farmer's feed kettle and a paddle found out that gypsum could be made into plaster of Paris and established here the first calcining mill in New York State right down to 1952 the fiftieth anniversary of the consolidation of several small area companies into the now famous United States Gypsum Company it has been private enterprise all the way that has improved the methods of mining and processing gypsum and has found various new uses for the product Today not only does the gypsum industry provide employment for a goodly number of area workers but it also pays a large share of the local school tax 2070 of it, in fact It is private enterprise that is sending gypsum products from Oakfield into the forty eight states and all over the globe Because we have observed what free enterprise can do to make a community a bigger and better place in which to live and at the same time develop a fundamental natural re source to make the world more comfortable and enjoyable we have chosen to dedicate this issue of the Oracle to this typical American system free enter pI'1SC In making this dedication, the staff sincerely hope that their generation and all posterity may be given the wisdom to continue the practice of this American system, without undue government restriction, for the betterment of all man kind W'-. l TABLE OF C ON TENTS Q l EN GI N EE Rl N G D 00fm1Qf1if7'lf'0A27f7 ,dojff 5-8 P R 0 C' E SS I NG e 127 276 zmfeiawe Cf0.f.r of 32 page: fa-15 o fb fle mfyf I g'roofeS 7- ff fagfex ffzf 0 fn 7761 071276 lfhkfgaffefz - 6 Xanga: 22-aa U TIL I Z I N G Q ac ffv fyfles ,cages af-so ADVERT I SI N G o Air ffhgf faagvs' ff-64 0Cf00hfA70fg'f:'lf fm' dm pfafzfle' fi, 7ffr1e f fer-asf fmffefw! .nf had fkz Zag ieiafjf if fffe sfaff 1 Q 'Q P 'F with mb K frm 1 IN THE OFFICE ....

Even their opponents could refer to them only as certainly a very fine team. Their brilliant playing and sportsmanlike conduct at all times warmed the heart of their mentor, Coach Mahlon Hamilton, as they copped the Genesee-Orleans Six-man Football League championship with an undefeated season of seven wins and no losses. Most significant events of the season were the games against Alexander, Elba, and Pavilion, in which the blue-and gold gridders displayed enough defensive strength and offensive strategy to hold their opponents scoreless. Their most gratifying achievement, however, was , the victory over Corfu--for many years a too A formidable foe. On, December 17 the Business Men's Association of Oakfield honored the members of both the football and cross country squads at a banquet in the school cafeteria. On this occasion the captains of the teams presented the trophies won to Principal Howard E. Bain for addition to the collection in the 54211001 trOphy case. Gold footballs were presented to Jack Berg, Dale Choate, Louis Corbelli, Pete Corbelli, Terry Drew, Roy Ely, Dave Green, Louis Ianni, Herbert Oakes, and Norman Zigrossi. Members of the cross country squad who received gold track shoes were Bill Boyce, Jim Breckenridge, James Forsyth, Bill Oakes, Dick Speed, and Dick Walls.

Having demonstrated their twirling ability at football games and in the Memorial Day parade, they closed the season by doing a striking performance at the Spring Concert. TWIRLERS Go, Blue Hornets, go! has been a favorite cheer of the combined J. V. and Varsity cheerleaders, since the name, Blue Hornets, was chosen in a contest conducted by the cheerleaders under the guidance of the physical education department. The gay satin blouses and full swirling skirts of the Varsity's new uniforms added animation to their rousing cheers, and, just as gypsum was used to mold the trophy won by the football team, so the cheerleaders, by their enthusiastic and loyal following of the teams and the pep rallies they planned and conducted, helped to mold the school spirit and support that inspired those teams, CHEERLEADERS BACK ROW: Gwendolyn Hale, Marian Lowe, Nancy Scirnia.

Their season's record included a win over Brockport in a dual meet, first place in B class, and second in the Barker Invitational: first in a triangle meet with Perry at Corfu, first at the Waterloo Invitational, and also at the Oakfield Invitational - and ended by finishing fifth out of nineteen schools entered in the sectional at Geneva. 33 The 1952 fast-stepping Blue Hornets, under Coach Hamilton's spirited guidance, rolled to victory in 14 out of 18 games, defeating all A league opponents. However, this year they played in B competition, where they finished in a second-place tie with Corfu. The Hornets scored a total of 954 points against their opponents' 720. Leading scorers for the Blue Hornets were these seniors: Pete Corbelli, the top scorer, with 289, Joe Acitelli, with 198, and Dave Green, with 126. The team played excellent ball, dumping in 59. 879 of their foul attempts during games. Coach Hamilton introduced the idea of giving credit for assists to scoring team members, leaders being Lou Ianni, Terry Drew, and Pete Corbelli. The biggest thrill of the season was their defeat of the league champions, Holley, in the final game of the schedule. Hats off to an all-round team of five good men, not four satellites around a star, a team to incite our pride, one that was credit to their coach and to the school! VARSITY BASKETBALL .

BASKETBALL Although the ag basketball squad made a valiant effort to come out on top, Dame Luck wasn't with them, and they won only three out of the seven games played. Never losing by more than a few points, the entire team were always in there, playing their hearts out. Leading the team in the scoring column were Bones Skelton, the tall, lanky center, Bill Hagen, a good man under the board, and Jerry Scroger, an excellent scorer from the side. Under the coaching of an ag member, Duane Hagen, they whipped Byron-Bergen twice and Elba once. The remainder of the season had to be canceled because of a virus epidemic. Thus ended the biography of the 1951-52 F. F. A. basketball squad. J. V. BASKETBALL Larry Wilson the J-Vee's wound up the season with a total of 12 wins and 5 losses, with a league record of 3 wins to 5 losses. Though they lost a total of six games, several of these were sacrificed by a heartbreaking one or two points. The hard-fighting JV's were paced by Louis Corbelli with 1689 Norman Zigrossi with 1425 and Teddy Showler with 120 points. Harold Blew, Anthony Ottaviano, and Bruce Mylles also played very fine ball and were always in there plugging. As a whole, the team played a brand of heads -up basketball during the entire season. With such a talented JV team the future for basketball at O. A. C. S. looks very bright.

These indicate that spring - and the baseball season - are at hand. An array of seven experienced players and several promising pro- motions from the JV team of 1951 answered Coach Hamilton's call to practice. Among them were veterans Pete Corbelli and .Toe Acitelli, ready to handle all pitching assignments., With Mr. Hutchinson acting as assistant coach and taking charge of the JV squad, O. A. C.

A need for such a council was felt to gain unity in various policies governing athletics and to take the responsibility for forming policies from one individual.

These familiar words from Mr. Zogaib to the mixed chorus meant additional hard work, but eventual- ly developed a better musical presentation for the greater pleasure of their listening audiences at the Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Spring concerts, their radio broadcast from the stage of Batavia High School ever WBTA on January 17, and the County Music Festival in April. Among their favorite numbers were Look for the Silver Lining, Climbin' Up the Mountain, and such sacred selections as The Lord Bless and Keep You, and Down to Dark Gethsemane. High point of the year was the concert on February 8 by the Choir of Defiance College, Mr. Zogaib's alma mater, especially the fine experience of singing with the College Choir, under the direction of Mr. George G. Arkebauer, Now Let Every Tongue Adore Thee. Skip to My Lou, How High the Moon, l N Wonder As I Wander were some of the enjoyable renditions of the Mixed Ensemble, a choice group of harmonizing voices, highly complimented by an invitation to sing between the Massed Chorus and Massed Band numbers at the County Festival in Batavia. 40 z 2 f rf' X X Forsyth, Jer is Smith. If you're a girl and like music, you probably were a member of the Girls' Chorus, or the more selective organization, the Girls' Ensemble. Offering such melodies as How Greatly Thou Art Glorified, Giannina Mia, The Loveliest Night of the Year, Hymn to Music, and Beautiful Saviour, under the inspirational guidance of Mr. Zogaib, they made a delightful contri- bution to the concerts at Thanksgiving, at Christmas, featuring its traditional candle- light procession, and in the spring, and the County Music Festival. Officers of the group included Nancy Goetz, president, Marjorie Churchill, vice-president, Gwenn Hale, secretary-treausrerg librarians, Sally Ballester and Nancy Cassiano. Mighty sweet and beautiful were the voices of the Girls' Ensemble, as they rendered Gesu Bambino and The Sleigh during an interesting and active season. These groups will long treasure the pleasant memories of their singing ex- periences and their audiences will be forever appreciative of the many hours of pleasure received.

SENIOR BAND We are very proud of our Senior Band this year! They marched down the gridiron to spur the football team on to victory. Under the competent direction of Mr. Rice they participated in the Christmas concert and, together with the Junior Band, con- tributed a most enjoyable portion of the Spring concert. In April they journeyed to Batavia to make an excellent showing at the County Music Festival. Every Tuesday and Thursday morning during the first period they have made the auditorium and upper corridors re- sound to the roaring beats of a march like Glory of the Trumpetsg the jazzy notes of Time Out for Jam Sessiong the soothing harmony of The 'Little' Rhapsody in Blueg the Latin-American rhythm of Bolero.

Freshmen, too, caught the spirit and broke the ice in two contests in May, giving original declamations. Prizes for these contests, presented at Commencement, are contributed each year by the Oakfield Study Club to foster an interest in writing and speaking. You'd scarce expect one of my age To speak in public on the stageg And if I chance to fall below Demosthenes or Cicero, Don't view me with a critic's eye, But pass my imperfections by. Large streams from little fountains flowg Tall oaks from little acorns grow. Like gypsum, an element that is universal and has endured for eons of time, this quotation is as applicable today as when it was written in 1791. However, in this era of television, the ability to speak in public has become even more significant, not only that we may communicate our ideas more effectively but also that we may more intelligently consume the sentiments of others. To this end, twenty- five seniors - fifteen girls and ten boys - gained valuable experience in three speaking contests in April.

They provide an honest answer to the question: What is best for the patient? As one physician put it, I do for my patients what I would do for a member of my own family.
