The Oakfield High School is pleasantly situated in the village of Oakfield, which enjoys the advantages of rural life and also, to a great extent those of city life, due to its nearness to the city of Fond du Lac. Its location makes it an ideal place for a student to spend his high school days in to the best advantage. With the year 1911 is added one more successful year’s work to the already good record the school has ever made for itself. So far have the efforts of the teaching force and student body been successful the past year, that in February the school was found in every way deserving of a place upon the accredited list of high schools of the State University at Madison. Hereafter, no graduate from this school shall have to pass a special examination for entrance to the University, as has been the case formerly, but may, upon simply presenting his Diploma, be admitted without further question. Oakfield is now truly on a par with the best high schools in the state and no student need hesitate to take his high school course here for fear that he may not receive due recognition and credit at its completion. The school does not belong to the so-called “Township High Schools,” but the courses it offers are being adjusted to meet all the needs of the farming community round about. The past year a course in Advanced Agriculture has been added which will be made more and more vitally practical as time goes on. And in keeping with the trend of the times it is hoped that the school may soon add a Manual Training and Domestic Science Department. With a school board efficient, enthusiastic, progressive and a corps of teachers professionally trained, of successful experience and carefully selected for their special fitness, the Oakfield High School possesses facilities for offering a splendid course to the student about to enter high school, and gives him all the advantages without the disadvantages of a large high school. ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS. Students wishing to enter the High School must present credentials equivalent to one of the following: 1. Diploma from a rural school signed by the County Super- intendent. 2.

N McCHAIN, President Principal W. E. BRISTOL, Treasurer CLASS POEM. When in the course of school-days fair The time of graduation comes, To separate old friends so dear And part old pals and long sworn chums, We think with gladness of years gone by But the thought of parting brings a sigh. We know that together no more we may stay, That each of our classmates will take his own way, That the old school-days are past and done While we the goal we sought have won. And so it is with this class of ours; We’ve toiled on together thru sunshine and showers. For four long years we’ve clung together Thru joys and sorrows, and all kinds of weather. It is true we have lost from our class over half One way and another they’ve strayed from the path, Till now at Commencement time we stand With only twelve in our little band, But we realize now, yes, every one Though we thought we had finished, we’ve just begun. SENIOR CLASS HISTORY. President—CLYDE MORGAN. Vice-president—MARIEM SMITH. Secretary-Treasurer—WILL ORVIS. When the class of 1911 entered High School it consisted of twenty-two members. When we passed from the eighth grade into the Freshman class we numbered eighteen, but six more joined us from other schools. Probably on account of our large number we received a great many slams. We have not been wholly free from them thruout our high school life. On entering the Sophomore year we lost Ora Ferris, Hazel and Maud Hansen, Louis Merrill, and Charles Underwood, but gained Lida Best. Our Sophomore year proved very successful. Our Junior year was our pleasantest and most eventful. Among the hair-raising and side-splitting events were: stolen Sophomore feast, Junior reception, Senior return, the ever-to-be-remembered Brandon trip, and the two successful debates against the Seniors’ victorious one. During this year we were fortunate in gaining Ethel Ryder, unfortunate in losing Nellie Hitchcock, Jassie Reynolds, Ora Ferris, Lloyd Filbey, Kelsey McChain, and Lida Best. We gained our first experience in entertaining the Seniors at the Bank Hall. The evening was pleasantly spent by playing games and dancing. We surpassed all previous receptions in the serving of a four course luncheon, but we were certainly repaid for our work by the “soiree” given by the Seniors at Lamartine. Now we have finally reached the coveted goal, for we are Seniors. We cannot boast the large number of fellow classmates with which we started out but are proud of our dozen remaining members. This has been our busiest year, altho the routine of daily work has been broken by numerous pleasurable events. The first of these was the Hallowe’en party given by the faculty, which proved to be a “howling” success, especially when we were welcomed by Messieur Skeleton and enchanted by the green eyes of the wriggling snakes. (Of course, one worthy member of our class got stuck in the barrel.) We spent another pleasant evening at the reception given us by the Juniors. Remembering the pleasant time we had enjoyed, we in return entertained them at a Progressive Party, which proved to be the most amusing function of the school’s social life. Clyde Morgan (Ami) our class president and youngest member of our class, is the one who always wears the “knowing smile” when all the rest of us are wearing the frown of perplexity. Mariem Smith (Teed) calm, dignified, helpful in the most trying circumstances, winning the admiration of us all by her all-round efficiency, both in Athletics and school work. Lulu Ripley (Rip) our little “Trouble-Chaser,” ever ready to waive the most weighty question with a laugh. Chester Shortt (“Chessie”) “Though in name he is Shortt, it is plain to see He lacks not an inch in dignity.” Olive Susan (“Susie,” always called Susan the first day of school.) Has won a reputation as a “wit” and a flirt, yet she lacks none of the proverbial Senior dignity. Ethel Bristol (Babe) is one of the few members of our class who has received her entire education in the schools of Oakfield. She entered the first grade of the Primary department in 1898. Ethel Ryder (“Reddy.”) “She came and she went, and she came again, and now at the finish she’s with us still.” Will Orvis (“Bill”). His science makes you sit up and take notice of things. Lillian Meyers (Steady) always quiet and unassuming, always courteous even to the green little freshmen. Hazel Worthing (“Smiley”) who carries herself with a dignity and sweetness that puts her in a class quite by herself. Bessie Burns (“Bernie”) A dreamy-eyed maiden, who works with a vim, And ’tis said that to jolly the boys is her whim. Elsie Parratt (“Polly”). If you ever met Elsie when she failed to smile you knew that something dreadful had happened. THE SENIORS’ PROLOGUE. In sooth it is a grande sight to see Such folken alle in a companye. A man can not this faire lande o’er Find such a class as is this Senior. Such beauty o’er each countenance y’sprede, Such wit contained in each gen’rous hede, Such mighty wonders must y-praised be, And this is alle our apologie. Mariem Smith— A lady is she very intellechual, And English loves she in especial. Ethel Bristol— She of her smiling seems ful simple and coy, But cruel is she with yonge hertes to toy. Bessie Burns— How swete is she and deintee by myn eye, Wei she can make a cak or bak a pye. Clyde Morgan— A lively lad and mischievious is he, A pleasant felawe for to josh, pardee. Lillian Meyers— Learned is she of coy and modest aire, And German spekes she fluently and faire. Ethel Ryder— Such beauteous lokkes she has of golden haire, We’d say ’twas red if only we did dare. Olive Susan— She is a mayden comely for to seen, And she can winken pretty with her eyen. Elsie Parratt— Your sighte make my herte jumping go, I longen mochly for to been your beau. Will Orvis— Full longe were his legges and ful lene, Still could a better felaw nought be sene. Lulu Ripley— O, she could talk as one had wound her uppe, And when that she had starte, no man could stoppe. Hazel Worthing— She is a smarte mayden sooth to saye And she can well upon the fiddle playe. Chester Shortt— Wei bred is he in knightly curteisye, And wel he likes the ladies for to please. ♦With due apologies to Chaucer. CLASS WILL.

SENIOR GLASS 1911 FAREWELL SONG. Tune—“Just Awearyin’ for You.” Underclassmen, teachers too, School-day friends so dear and true, We appreciate each one Of the favors for us done, Longer with you we would dwell But ’tis time to say “Farewell.” Refrain: Parting time has come at last; Days have gone by all too fast. But we ever will be true To our High School and to you, Dear old schoolroom to you too We must bid a last “Adieu.” “Goodbye to all,” we want to tell Who with us have toiled so well, No more for us the bell shall ring, Well not be with you when you sing. 'Tis hard, dear friends, to leave you so But ’tis time for us to go. CLASS OF 1911. JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY. President—LLOYD FILBEY. Vice President—KELSEY McCHAIN. Secretary-Treasurer—ROBERT McCLAIN. The Junior Class! Ah what a world of eminence lies behind those simple words! Ever since we were freshmen we have been a remarkable class but tho’ we lost six of our original members during the last two years, still we have eight, bright, willing workers. Howard Ripley, Robert McClain, Ward Large and Hazel Merrill came to us as freshmen from rural districts while Bessie Cragoe, Della Parduhn, Marie Hoppe, Lloyd Fdbey and Kelsey McChain learned their ABC’s down in the primary room and still hold a conspicuous place in the Class of ’12. As freshmen, we were not subject to such ridicule and sarcasm as our predecessors, due to the fact that we lacked the vernal hue which always distinguished other freshmen classes. Many were the good times we had in those days and the honors we received are too numerous to mention. Our sophomore year found us the same bright members with the exception that some of us had acquired a little more worldly wisdom, wit and knowledge. We say little for as you know we did not have room for a great deal as we haven’t the big head as some have. Will we ever forget the one great sorrow of our second year? But we will let by-gones be by-gones and think only of the bright, happy side of our school life. Then we attained the dignity of Juniors. We had been inclined to think our third year would be a big joke, for such our second year had been, but how disappointed we were to find all the hardest studies of the course before us anxious to be mastered by strong minds and the firm wills which we possessed. How we struggled thru the agonies of geometry! Reasoning diligently by day and night of incommensurable polygons and heterogeneous hexagons dancing jigs across the foot of the bed. In German our class had proved to be foremost and tho’ only two of the members are familiar with the language, the class, as a whole can talk German as fluently as the seniors. Just how much this is saying may be ascertained from a lingu- JUNIOR CLASS istic interview with the said seniorial members. Our ability in this direction is further indicated by the astounding assertion made by H------one day in class when she said “Ich habe mein Bruder gegessen,” with the utmost composure of manner and failed to see the joke until we had convinced her that “gegessen” had reference to a gastronomic rather than a visual operation. Then, who can excel us in writing themes and reading eloquent speeches of eminent authors in English Class! We must not fail to mention our Modern History Class, where, whenever we neglected to study our lessons thoroughly, we wandered off into politics and listened eagerly for the bell to dismiss us. Beside other acquired distinctions one of our members, Robert McClain was chosen as President of the Lyceum Society. Another member, Bessie Cragoe, received second place at the local declamatory contest. Lack of space prevents mentioning our entertaining abilities for which the guests at our several receptions will vouch. We are a peaceful .friendly class, willing to smoke the pipe of peace and do our best to make the class of ’12, the honor and glory of our High School. JUNIOR CLASS ROLL. Lloyd Filbey: “His heart Is governed by a dainty-fingered girl.” Della Parduhn: “And peace, like autumn moonlight, clothed Her tranquil countenance.” Robert McClain: “A rare compound of oddity, frolic, and fun.” Bessie Cragoe: “A brow whose frowns are vastly grand, And eye of star-lit brightness.” Kelsey McChain: “My only books were woman’s looks, And folly’s all they’ve taught me.” Marie Hoppe: “Her voice is glad as an April bird’s.” Howard Ripley: The earth has not a nobler name than thine shall be.’' Hazel Merrill: “And welcome wheresoe’er she went, A calm and gracious element.” Ward Large: “His face with lines of firmness wrought, He bears the look of a man unbought.” SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY. President—JENNIE GLEASON. Vice President—CARL HOFFMAN. Secretary-Treasurer—HERMAN SONN. Another year has come and gone since we entered on our career as students of the Oakfield High School. We had at the beginning of our Freshman year twenty-two members, but during the past two years we have lost eleven members. They are, Harry White, Belle Launders, Alice Tesch, Agnes Thompson, Robert Smith, James Fisher, Edith Boehrig, Gertrude Frost, Agnes Merrill, Ruth Paynter, and Earle McCumber. These, our numerous classmates, are greatly missed by all. Still, altho there are only a few of us, we are a very important class. In the Declamatory Contest, as you all know, altho we had but one contestant, and the Freshmen and Juniors had three representatives each, still we carried off the laurels when Nina won first place. Then in basketball we have in the boys’ team two of the best players, Harold Burns and Herman Sonn, while in the girls’ team Jennie Gleason has been the lofty, stalwart center who has helped to win the victory in many a hard-fought battle. The other classes also honored us by electing William Smith Secretary-treasurer of the Athletic Association, and Jennie Gleason and Harold Burns to the office of Secretary of the Lyceum for the first and second semesters respectively. And now, dear readers, we must stop but hope that by next year to have quite a bit more to add to this short history. We think after reading this you will agree that we have a very bright, popular and promising class. SOPHOMORE CLASS ROLL. Alta Bennett: “Far from the madd’ning boys she stands apart; Her sober wishes never learn to stray, Along the cool, sequestered vale of life, She keeps the quiet tenor of her way.” Harold Burns: “Good at a fight but better at play!” Milton Ehrhardt: “Happy am I, from care I’m free! Why aren’t they all content like me?” Jennie Gleason: “If convinced against her will She’s of the same opinion still.” Carl Hoffman: “That smiling face of yours looks like the title page of a volume of roguery.” Leone Lurvey: “I shall pass thru this world but once. Any good thing that I can do, therefore, let me do now for I shall not pass this way again.” George Meyers: “Sad of mind was he but mischief lurked beneath.” Nina Osier: “High flights had she and wit and will, And so her tongue lay seldom still.” Carl Parduhn: “A big broad fellow whose bright face Bespeaks an honest heart within.” William Smith: “Could you get angry if you tried hard?” Herman Sonn: “If I cannot do great things, I can do small things in a great way.” THE SOPHOMORES. Hurrah for the class of nineteen thirteen! They will always be heard and always be seen. Tho they’re not like the Seniors, haughty and proud, Who show their importance by being so loud; Nor do they ape college antics in true Junior style Where the “J’s” think naught else is ever worth while; And they’re not as the Freshmen, greener than hay, Who stare so at everything passing their way. They are the class that takes the lead Not in thought alone but also in deed; Think of the contest our Nina has won, SOPHOMORE CLASS And how the crowd cheered our park when the basketball games were done. In the days to come, and the years to pass, Ne’er will there be such a wonderful class. As that of the SOPHOMORES! FRESHMAN CLASS HISTORY. In 1902 four members of our present class started in school in the first grade. The next year Elsie and Lenora Hansen joined our ranks and have been with us ever since. When we were in the third grade five girls from the country joined our class, but they did not stay with us long. We left one member behind when we passed from the third to the fourth grade. One of the girls left us while we were in the fourth grade, and went to Oshkosh. During the fifth year of our school life, a little Italian boy came to us and stayed with us until we finished the eighth grade. We were nine in number and we all graduated from the eighth grade with high honors and flying colors. When we entered high school we gained five new members from the country making our number thirteen. After the first semester Earl McCumber and Arthur Weber left us and now we have eleven members which are as follows: Alice Fisher, a talking machine; Lenora Parduhn, a heart-breaker; Elsie Hansen, a blonde who has her affections bestowed on someone at Brandon ; Lenora Hansen, a fat lady in a dime museum; Sadie Morgan, a great orator; Halbert Ball, the valedictorian of our class; Carleton Henningsen, our Norwegian-Dane president; Edwin Bristol, the great mathematician; Arthur Burleton, our class sport; Lester Hobbs, a social star; and last but certainly not least, Arthur Cowles, a great athlete and fashion dictator. FRESHMAN CLASS ROLL. Carleton Henningsen: The girls all say he’s cute and sweet, And the boys are sure Pete can’t be beat. Halbert Ball: Our vocabulary is too small To tell you of his deeds in Basketball. Edwin Bristol: He likes to visit the Lime Kilns, He considers it quite a lark To escort a young lady home on show nights, When she is afraid to go home in the dark. Lenora Hansen: Short and fat and jolly too, The girls all like her and the boys do too. Lenora Parduhn: She looks so very quiet and demure, No one would think she’d whisper, I am sure. Arthur Burleton: Our red-headed boy so slim and tall; Another shining star in Basketball. Sadie Morgan: Frank and mischievous, day and night; And the candy she makes is out of sight. Arthur Cowles: His eyes are brown and his hair is red, And to see him move one would think him dead. Elsie Hansen: She came home from Brandon with a happy smile, And she wears it now once in a while. Arthur Weber: We miss him since he went away— To feed the pigs and help make hay. Alice Fisher: A pale-faced girl, so tall and slim, That she reminds us of her brother Jim. Lester Hobbs: Life is a joke, all things show it, Look at Hobbs and then you know it. Oakfield, Wis., May 28, 1911. Dear Sophomores: We have heard that there will be eleven or more vacancies in your class after May 31, 1911. We are an exceedingly talented aggregation and have a much more brilliant record than any preceeding class. We shall appreciate the favor if you will accommodate us by letting our members fill the vacancies in your class. If we need any recommendation as to our unexcelled brilliancy we refer you to our respected teachers who have labored so industriously with us. FRESHMAN GLASS We trust that our proposal herein stated will appeal to you as a most rational proposition and that it will meet with your most favorable consideration. We most humbly beseech you to grant us an immediate or earlier reply. Until then we remain, THE FRESHMEN. THE FRESHMEN. Our first year is o’er and our record In the principal’s office will show That it has not been spent in idling— But this much all of you know. Not only in the routine of school work Has the class of 1-9-1-4 excelled But in all sorts of contests the honor Of the O. H. S. was upheld. Without Burleton and Ball on the basketball team How many games would they have won? Without Morgan—and Hansen as substitute— What would the girls’ team have done? Without our three contestants The contest would have been small. Why, without the class of 1914 They couldn’t keep school at all. But what is the use of recounting Virtue you all knew before? So all give a cheer for the FRESHMEN, The class of 1-9-1-4. POPULAR BALLADS. Gee, but there’s class to a Girl like you.—Lloyd Filbey. I’ve got the Time and the Place but not the Girl. —Ward Large. Isn’t Love a Grand Old Game?—Kelsey McChain. Just the little Ghost of your Smile, Sweetheart. —Robert McClain. School Days—Howard Ripley. Just one Girl in this World for me.—Mr. Puffer. Not because your Hair is Curly.—Eleanor Atteln. You can’t give your heart to Somebody else and still hold hands with me.—Hazel Merrill. He’s a College Boy.—Louise Stolp. Oh, You Blondie.—Ida Sackett. I dream in the Gloaming of You.—Gertrude Couillaard. Has Anybody here seen K--- (Sammy) ?—Sara Broderick Heine, Oh, Heine, I love but you.—Bessie Cragoe. Who are you with to-night?—Marie Hoppe. Call me up some Rainy Afternoon.—Della Parduhn. SMILE ! !! Lulu is the girl with dark brown eyes, And hair that is soft as silk, But her greatest fault, so I’ve been told Is a fondness for distilled milk. As long as the world rolls on, dear As long as the skies are blue Just so long, did our Leone Tell her Freddie she’d be true. On the evening of March twenty-fourth There was sweetness in the air For the girls were in the kitchen Making candy for the fair. What would Lloyd do without his curls Why he’d be ashamed to face the girls. They’re the world to him, I’ve heard them tell And as for Miss A., she thinks they’re just swell. Turn failure into victory, Don’t let your courage fade. And if you “get a lemon,” Just make the “lemon-aid.” There are meters of accent, And meters of tone But the best of all meters, Is to meet her alone. Miss Stolp (At hotel at Rosendale)—“Do you serve lobsters here?” Waiter------------- “Yes Mam, we serve anybody, sit right down.” Olive had a little lamp, She trained it well, no doubt For every time her Ami came The little lamp went out. William looked at Elsie, “Oh! what a pretty miss!” He stepped a little nearer, And gently stole a (way). Blushes may come and blushes may go, But (Brody’s) freckles stay on forever. On Monday morning—Student (in Physics class): “Mr. Puffer, can you tell how matches are made?” Mr. Puffer: “Well, I was just thinking about that last night.” THE DECLAMATORY CONTEST. The local contest was held at Worthing’s Hall Friday evening, March 17, 1911. As no contest was held in 1910, an unusual interest was felt in this one, and as the weather was pleasant, a fact worthy of remembrance, for the weatherman generally saves all his storms for this occasion, the contest was well attended. Seven contestants competed for the places in the league contest to be held at Markesan. The selections, both of the contestants and of the musicians were well rendered and showed that the students had been diligent in their preparation for the event. The judges were Prin. E. F. Priest, Rosendale; Prin. G. J. Ritter, Campbellsport; and Prof. M. H. Small of Oshkosh. The following program was rendered: Song, “Anvil Chorus” from “II Trovatore”. High School Chorus Declamation, A Soldier of the Empire............Edwin Bristol Declamation, Traver’s First Ride ............Lenora Parduhn Declamation, Sydney Carton's Sacrifice ........Bessie Cragoe Song, The Cuckoo ........................High School Chorus Declamation, The Renunciation of Jean Valjean.Della Parduhn Declamation, How the LaRue Stakes Were Lost...Nina Osier Song, Our Festal Day ......................High School Girls Declamation, Mark Twain's European Guides.Robert McClain Declamation, Bobbie Shaftoe ....................Sadie Morgan Violin Solo...............................Dr. H. H. Weickel Instrumental Duet ................Olive Susan, Elsie Parratt Decision of judges: Third place, Sadie Morgan; second place, Bessie Cragoe; first place, Nina Osier. The winners of first and second places went to Markesan to compete in the league contest with the local representatives there. The league contest was held at Markesan on April 21, 1911. Owing to the threatening weather and bad roads, but a small delegation was able to attend, but nevertheless Oakfield showed the good material of which she was made, and the fact that she was worthy of a place on the map, by taking first and third honors.

Here’s to Oakfield, land of our birth, And the Oakfield High School, the two best things on earth. To the Seniors: May your voyage thru life be as happy and free As the dancing waves on the deep blue sea. To Oakfield’s teachers let all fill their glasses, Whose beauty and virtue the whole world surpasses, May blessings attend them, go wherever they will, And wherever they go may they think of us still. To our Patriotic Boys: Who have arms for their girls And arms for their country’s foes. Here’s to the land of the Shamrock so green, Here’s to each lad and his darling colleen, Here’s to the ones we love dearest and most And may God save Old Ireland—that’s Miss Broderick’s toast. To Lulu: Here’s to the girl with dash and whirl, Who rides about in a auto. Here’s to the man who’ll bridle her To ride ’bout as she aught to. Here’s health to the High School—pride of the town. To the boys with their smiles And the girls minus frowns, Toast the much honored School Board Here I must pause For they give us half holidays, And make all our laws. Miss Stolp: Love is like an oasis on the desert of Life. Bessie C.: May the hinges of friendship never grow rusty. Miss Sackett: May she give us a few brilliant flashes of silence. Marie’s favorite toast: Among the things this good world brings, What is better than laughter? Harold B.: May Dame Fortune ever smile on you But never her daughter—Miss Fortune. Herman S. : Here s to the boy with a heart like a trolley car—always room for one more. To the Freshmen: Don’t worry about the future, The present is all thou hast. The future will soon be present And the present will soon be past. To Nina: Here’s to the girl that’s strictly in it, She doesn’t lose her head, even for a minute. Miss Couillard: May the lamp of friendship be lighted with the oil of sincerity. Hazel Merrill’s favorite toast: Pleasure that comes unlooked for is thrice welcome. Mr. Puffer: May he have the unspeakable good fortune to win a true heart, And the merit to keep it. Miss Atteln’s toasts: Here’s to those I love, Here’s to those who love me, Here’s to those who love those I love And to those who love those who love me. Della Parduhn: May the happiest days of your past Be the saddest days of your future. Clyde Morgan: May good fortune follow you all your days (and never catch up with you.) Mr. Puffer: His favorite author—“Thackeray.” His favorite jewel—“Pearl.” His favorite hymn—“Beulahland.” ATHLETICS BASEBALL. The first game of baseball was played at Brandon, April 29. This was an easy victory for the boys as Brandon used two pitchers and both were hit all over the field. The features of the game were the hard hitting and base running of the Oak-field boys. Our pitcher was almost invincible striking out twelve men and only letting two walk. The final score was 20 to 12. Lineup: Fern Bristol, left field Ward Large, center field Chester Shortt, right field Herman Sonn, third base Guy Darling, second base Clyde Morgan, first base Marold Burns (Manager) pitcher Halbert Ball (Captain) catcher Arthur Burleton, short stop William Smith, Sub. Robert McClain, Sub. BASKETBALL.

The above are the games and resulting score that were played by the High School Basketball team. It speaks well for our team because all the teams that were played against outweighed our team. The game at Kewaskum resulted in a bad defeat for our team due to the absence of Morgan who was at that time unable to play. One thing that helped to make the defeat less disagreeable was the good accommodations offered by the opposing team. One of the bunch was so delighted with the place that he went to sleep in the bath tub. We also went to see the brewery where we had a very interesting time. Ask------ Rosendale, the first high school team we played, was easily defeated. All of their points being made on free throws. The game was rather rough but everyone seemed to enjoy the roughness. Brandon ran around the hall to the tune of 9 to 58. Our team far outclassed and outplayed them. The opposing center became ill after arriving here and unable to play but our team could easily have run up a big score with the regular team playing. Campbellsport was the next on the list for a trimming. This was a close game especially in the first half which ended with a score of 3 to 4 in their favor. The rest of the game was fun for us. Our team came back to show them how to play. The referee was somewhat in favor of his own team and if it wasn’t for him the score would have been ‘awful.’ We next played Rosendale. This was about the biggest game of the season especially for Rosendale as they had a monstrous crowd. A number of rooters from here accompanied the team. We were beaten, and not the least ashamed to admit it as it was hard to prevent the umpire’s calling fouls on our men. The game with Kewaskum was one which the team eagerly looked forward to as we were anxious to repay the defeat that they handed us. This was a fine game and alive from start to finish. It was during the first few minutes of this game that Burleton got his nose broken. This put him out of the game and Sonn took his place winning the admiration of all by his GIRLS BASKET BALL TEAM BOYS BASKET BALL TEAM quickness and stick-to-it-iveness. And now nine rahs for Campbellsport. Will we ever forget that place? Some town that and we saw it all on our way to the hotel which was about a quarter of a mile from nowhere. The game was fast but our boys couldn’t get used to the little cigarbox which they had to play in. The first half was 17 to 12 in favor of Campbellsport, but the final score shows that our boys just commenced in the second half. It was during the second half also that Hinie made that famous shot from the corner with his eyes shut. (Others more famous later.) I guess few of the members of the bunch knew when we started for Campbellsport that we were taking a county fair and a talking machine with us, but they all knew of it before we got home. The last game and greatest (because we won) was played at Brandon. Gee!! what a town that is. This game was easy for our boys although everyone had to work. A good many rooters were along and they helped to keep things a moving. Now is a good time to thank the people of the town for the excellent support given the team. All the games played here were well attended and on all the trips to foreign parts there were some people to stand up for the team. At the dances which were given after all the games everyone enjoyed themselves and this was a good way to get acquainted with the visitors. “WHYS” Why was Miss Stolp so surprised when she took off her coat at Brandon? Why did Clyde occupy such a prominent place at the Junior Reception? Why did Miss Stolp say to Howard, “Where did you get 'Dein Gesicht?’ ” Why are the teachers and girls so anxious for the mail? Why did the Junior girls go to Fond du Lac just before their reception? Why do the Seniors talk so long in their class meetings? Why do we have so much fun in German class? Why does a certain store in Oakfield possess such attractions to Miss Broderick? A DOMESTIC COMEDY-DRAMA. A GIDDY COQUETTE. Scene: Between High School and the Dime Museum. Time: Since 1915.

An “Oak Leaves” advertiser met a friend the other day And asked, How s business, partner? Coming right your wav?” “No sir!” said the other, “I’m losing money all the time!” Well, that s funny,” said the first one, “Over our way gains just climb! Yes sir, that is funny! Really, I’m surprised, But say—I’ll bet J know the reason—you have not advertised In the ‘Oak Leaves,’ the school paper, so what could you expect? Every one is interested in it—no wonder you get it in the neck! Better go and see Bill Orvis or Young Morgan ’bout it now They are the ‘runners’ of it and I guess they sure know how! Funny they weren’t after you for your ad long time ago. What? Theye were? You couldn’t afford it? And the rates so low? Why everybody reads that booklet, man, you’re crazy, open your eyes, Next time you get a chance like that—BOOST THE OAK LEAVES! ADVERTISE! ! !’ JOKES AND NEAR JOKES. The Joke Editor may scratch with his pen, ‘Till the ends of his fingers are sore, But some one’s sure to remark with scorn, Oh Rats! Why couldn’t they have written some more. Freshie (looking at sign in front of hardware store)—The sign read as follows—“Cast Iron Sinks.” “Why any fool might know that cast iron sinks.” Miss Broderick—“Chester, throw that gum in the basket.” Chester—“I can’t, it belongs to Clyde.” Robert (translating in German)—“As I drove my way along the new road, a wagon drawn by two oxen fell on my eye.” Lulu (In Geometry)—“Things equal to the same thing are equal to each other.” Miss Broderick (In arithmetic class)—“Her plan is correct and she found the number of days in her head.” Miss Stolp (In English I)—“All write a very long sentence.” Arthur Cowles (writing)—“Imprisonment for life.” Mr. Puffer (In Geometry class) —“What is two times eight, Kelsey?” Kelsey—“Ten.” Now I sit me down to sleep, I hope my classmates’ notes will keep, And if I snore before I wake, Please pinch my arm, for pity’s sake. —“SLEEPY.” Sometimes life is a joke, Many things show it; Look at a Freshman, And then you’ll know it. Mr. Puffer (In physical geography)—“What animals help to form lakes by building dams?” Arthur C.: “Rabbits.” Miss Stolp (In Junior German)—“Hazel, translate, ‘I have seen my brother.’ ” Hazel M.—“Ich habe meinen Bruder gegessen.” Mr. Puffer (In Modern History)—“What troubles did Queen Elizabeth have during her reign? What was Parliament always trying to coax her to do?” Ward—“Get married.” Kelsey—“Is that a trouble?” Miss Stolp (In German)—“What is the difference between essen and fressen?” Robert—“One means to eat meat and the other to eat apples.” Miss Stolp—“Oakfield trains are always late when one wants them to come.” Student—“You should not want them to come.” Miss S.—“I don’t want the train; I want the mail (male) which it carries.” Man is like a kerosene lamp, He isn’t especially bright; He’s often turned down; usually smokes, And frequently goes out at night. Marie (In Geometry)—“Draw a line from X to C.” Mr. Puffer—“Will you then have ecstasy?’’ The night was dark; the wind it blew; Around the corner the villain flew And from his breast a knife he drew And stabbed into—an oyster stew. Miss Stolp—“I spent a week at the insane asylum last summer at Elgin, 111.” And since then several of the Freshmen are seriously thinking of engaging quarters at the Illinois institution which was brought to our notice by such excellent recommendation. THE “WORLD” AS THE SENIORS SEE IT TOO LATE TO CLASSIFY English Class: Lulu: Why, I thought f-i-a-n-c-e pronounced fi-nan-ci-er. Miss Stolp: No, Lulu, but a fiance sometimes quite often becomes a financier. Miss Stolp in English class during the Senior English: “Nun, lassen wir weiter lesen.” Lulu: Miss B. when was the Panama canal started? I know when it was finished but I can’t remember when it was started. Miss Stolp:What happened next Hazel? Hazel W.: Elizabeth’s mother came in and sat on the spinning wheel. Miss B.: Elsie, tell of the siege of New Orleans. Elsie P.: Yes’m, the New Orleans forts were protected by chains above them, and when the gulf came up the river, the forts fired on them. Ethel R.: The grand review of the Union army, after the Revolution wras held at Madison. Elsie P.: The chief cause of the Civil war was taxation without representation. Mr. P.: The human ear is a great big cumbersome bulky thing—I mean on the outside. “Scatter seeds of kindness, all along the way.” The teacher in the schoolroom, to the pupils said one day.

One mom I awoke with the clang of a bell Sounding loudly in mine ears. What it all meant I could not tell, For I heard as only a dreamer hears. I sprang up and dressed from my head to my feet, Ran to the window and looked on the street. Dire confusion reigned, and naught could I hear. Till the cry “Fire” “Fire,” fell on mine ear. “Where?” “Where?” I cried till my throat was hoarse; But all too excited to tell me, of course The men and the women ran on up the street, And a noise like thunder they made with their feet. I immediately followed as fast as I could, For I was beginning to smell burning wood. “Where’s the fire?” I inquired of a boy I passed by, He looked at me sadly, and said with a sigh, “Why, don't you know? ’Tis the Temple of Knowledge; The place where they fit boys and girls for the college. It is all on fire and it’s burning down, And it’s the worst fire that’s struck this town.” Then I went hurriedly on my way, On reaching the schoolhouse I heard a man say, “It’s way up on the roof at the rear, The ladders will never reach it, I fear.” The flames grew large, the heat was intense. It forced the spectators back to the fence. The noise was so great that one scarce could hear, And cries of terror reached the ear. From out the belfry a figure came, And out on the roof it crept, near the flame. And when at last erect it did stand, We distinguished Puffer, a pail in his hand. Nor was it empty, this pail that he carried. And not for long on the roof he tarried. But raising the pail and taking aim The contents nearly quenched the flame. Others by now were on the roof too, Bucket after bucket of water they threw. The flames were beginning to fast disappear, When inside the building a noise we did hear. We rushed inside to the scene of disaster; Lo, extinguisher and Lloyd had fell thru the plaster. On the piano he’d landed, yes the great big square; And he sat hugging that copper thing there. A picture he presented, too thrilling to relate; But the fire was out, tho the damage w'as great. SCHOOL CALENDAR 1910-11 SEPTEMBER. 5. Great gathering of green looking students. 6.
