I ,. fi. f , - fairy, - f FGREWORD The theme of the 1952 Oracle is not new - in fact, it's 350 million years old. 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
