G. Lentzner Editorial Staff Oakfield High School THE 0AKF1ELD “In each and all lie the opportunities of an archangel as the majestic oak lies unfolded in the acorn.” As Lydia Maria Child uttered this expression she must have thought of the development of the child from the beginning. much of which lies in the early education in the public and high school. We recognize the fact that however perfect the acorn may appear, without placing it under favorable conditions we cannot expect the prospective majestic oak. It Is to these conditions that I wish to call your attention as offered in Oakfield High School. Even though our village is comparatively small, surely the citizens of Oakfield can boast of a high school of high rank and standing. The size of the school is an important factor to consider in the step from public to high school. In a school of this size the individual receives greater attention. which often proves the success of the pupil from the rural school, especially. While obliged to “paddle his own canoe” in the large high school, here he is watched carefully as an individual. We first of all would like to call your attention to the accommodation offered by our school. We have a large, spacious building which, though not distinctly new. is well proportioned and cheery in appearance. The assembly room is large and bright, seating nearly fifty students at the beginning of this year. The recitation rooms are handy and well suited to the purpose. No recitations are conducted in HIGH SCHOOL the assembly room, giving the student a good chance to do his studying without interruption. Our science laboratory, though small in size, has a very good equipment for experimental work with bright prospects for additions next year. Our library is large and contains a large variety of reference and fiction books suited to all ages. Together with our building accommodations we offer a good course of study, which, as arranged, is suited to the development of an all around boy and girl. While impossible to give in this short treatise the real value of all the studies I will endeavor to show the general trend of the work and Its value. We offer an elective course to juniors and seniors and hence supply a varied course to be chosen by upper class-men. After taking the required studies for two years the student has a partial foundation on which to choose for himself the nature of his remaining work. Each and every one of the branches has its particular value, but some may prove of greater value than others in accordance with his future plans. Although science is a field of great dimensions we offer a standard which should prove of great value to the person either preparing himself for a future course or a practical every-day application. He or she comes in direct contact with nature in its diversified forms by taking advantage of these courses and thus fits himself as a greater factor in the race of life. By means of physiology he learns what is essential for his physical welfare; by means of botany he learns what real conditions exist in nature for his benefit and pleasure; by means of agriculture he becomes acquainted with the betterment of his farm home; and in the physical geography he learns how these things are brought about. In physics he learns to recognize some of the complicated theories of nature in the field of heat, light and electricity and hence in these various lines becomes a greater lover of the possibilities of nature. One of the greatest defects of the American people today is the ignorance and misuse of the mother tongue. In fact at times one really thinks that the colloquial language seems to be getting the upper hand. To partly overcome this defect we offer a strong course in English, hoping thereby to help raise the standard of the spoken and written language. The unquestioned value of mathematics is still continued in the high school with the addition of greater and more applicable problems of commercial life. The earliest education consisted primarily of emphasis upon the three It’s, of which arithmetic still holds its important position. It teaches the pupil the all important accuracy which many other courses do not especially emphasize. With geometry and algebra the student is enabled to reason and apply himself carefully. The next course to be emphasized is one of very great importance in molding the character and progress of each and every one of the pupils. The field of history likewise is of great dimensions but which has in reality more definite boundaries than science. It is by means of history that the human race of today may look back into ages and thus compare their present situation. It is by means of history that great and noble characters are brought before us in story and with which we can measure our own lives and times. An educated man must be familiar with the trend of the world s history in order to appreciate his own time and look forward to better times. Without history the world would not have anything to improve and this would mean a standstill. Together with this great branch we offer a strong course in civics by which the pupil may become acquainted with the routine of his government; whereby he may become a better citizen, which is very much needed in our day and age. We need but to look out about us to see the corrupt political affairs of our country due in great respect to the ignorance of the citizens and voters. This course opens to the pupil the best of the government processes and shows him how to improve his conditions. We also offer a good course in the commercial line, with bookkeeping, commercial arithmetic, commercial geography, economics and business forms. While we do not pretend to offer a course as offered by a standard business college, yet our courses offer to the boy or girl an opportunity to establish a firm foundation for something better, or if finishing h's education in the high school he has something that he can take with him in his profession. By means of the bookkeeping he learns the different standards of keeping books as well as knowing how to be accurate and especially neat in his books. Every firm has its own system of bookkeeping. so the system may not prove of such value, but the student does learn the fundamentals which he will more readily apply when given the real test. It is our aim to establish these conditions. Also with the course in commercial geography and economics the student can apply himself to the conditions and thus be more able to meet perchance the great question of “high cost of living. But we do not alone offer a good course of solid work, for the old saying goes “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. Our athletics prove a great factor in the recreation of the school and which in many cases proves the real life of the school. Football was reawakened last fall with a fairly good result. In view of the interest taken In the sport the Board of Education voted the official “O, which was a new factor at Oakfield High School. Basketball is also an important sport and here. too. considerable success was gained with a long season of games. Our school is strictly on the accredited list of the University of Wisconsin after having undergone a thorough examination by the inspector last fall. Representatives are now attending the university. Ripon College and Lawrence College, which goes to prove that the graduates are accepted without question. With all of these facilities ready for your choice we extend a hearty welcome to all those who contemplate pursuing a high school course. X. G. LENTZNER, Principal. F. J.

Colon— Purple and Gold Flotcc- Yellow Rose Halbert Ball SENIOR CLASS HISTORY Although we are few in number, our small class does not lack in brains. Sadie Morgan, Carleton Hennfngsen and Halbert Hall passed up together from the grades. In the freshman year we had thirteen members—Lenora Parduhn. Elsie and Lenora Hansen, Sadie Morgan. Alice Fisher, Carleton Henningsen, Halbert Ball, Arthur Burle-ton, Edwin Bristol. Lester Hobbs, Arthur Cowles, Arthur Weber and Earl McCumber, the last two leaving at the close of the year. The next year being our sophomore year, we were no longer green but worked hard, many of our members winning honors in the oratorical and declamatory contest and in basketball. Toward the close of the year we were unfortunate in losing one of our prominent members, Lenora Parduhn. When we became juniors our number had decreased to seven, but as we took up our work in 1913, we were again rather unlucky; Edwin Bristol, Arthur Burleton and Lester Hobbs not returning to school. In this year of our school life we had great fun preparing for the junior banquet, which we gave on St. Patrick’s day. Although many think this is the hardest year we really did not find it so. Our geometry problems were at first difficult but we soon mastered them and they became easy. Our senior year has been the most difficult but we will soon finish it with flying colors. Our number has now decreased to six. Elsie and Lenora Hansen having left us to take up their new home in Illinois. We were very sorry to see them go but Mattie Gebhardt came to us from Rosen-dale to give us our even number. She finished her first two years in Rosendale High as a very good scholar and hence added to the brilliancy of the class. During this year the boys won many honors in football, which became a very popular game. Much of our time, however, was spent in studying. Many nights we did not leave the school house until late, being very busy with our physics experiments, which we had in great numbers. In this year another misfortune was the illness of our professor and his enforced absence from school. A substitute was almost immediately obtained so we were not delayed much in our work. Our teachers helped us considerably with our work and we are deeply indebted to them. These were Mr. Puffer. Miss Stolp and Miss Broderick, the first year; Mr. Patterson. Miss Hill and Miss Bangsberg the second and third years, and the last year Mr. Lentzner, Miss Fisher and Miss Dougherty. Although we are sorry to leave school, we are nevertheless glad to be able to move forward to other and higher pu rsuits. 16 CLASS Hark to the sound, the seniors do appear! Lo! on they come no danger do they fear. With toil's bright dew drops on their weary brow. Concerning high school their toils are over now. First in the room before the reddening sun. Last in the shadows when the day is done. Line after line she studies out her work, Marks the deep thoughts where duty should not shirk: But where Sadie works she clears the stubborn way. The smooth, easy answer opens at her sway. Even Harold, the stalwart junior, we should reckon. Answers to Sadie’s most delightful beckon. Up the steep hillside our classmate climbs. Slants the long track that scores his high school days. Through the four years with ever steady mind. The patient student breaks his destined ways. At every turn the loosening chains resound. To Arthur's hope a gladdened joy is found. In Johanna. South Byron's city belle. Our classmate made his choice and made it well. Car let on is the lad. who always true to school. Endeavors with his might to keep the teacher’s rule. On every day bis stern commands are heard Ringing in the schoolroom—distinctly every word. He is the one for whom midnight oil is burned Down n Beirne-town—he’s many lessons learned. High are the marks our classmate does attain. The result of working with all his force and main. POEM OF 1914 Ah, student Alice, whose ever working brain Wakes us to life, but throws us back in vain. How sweet your features, kind to every one. Mock with your smile the everfailing ‘•son.” Pride of the class of 1014 strong. For you ’t:s surely a bashful boy does long. Your desire to leave us—the westerners to teach, Will place you in the range of the coyote’s screech. Year after year the class has struggled on. Gaining and loosing as it passed along. In our last year from Rosendale we won. A girl who shares our sorrows and our fun. Mattie has an aim to be a teacher too. And she will work, undoubtedly 'tis true. Til in her school, her hope has gained its end. And satisfied she strives unto everyone a friend. With these pennants and banners now displayed. In blazing colors on the walls arrayed. ’Tis on a senior that these trophies rest. Halbert Ball—of athletes the best. True to his team this famous athlete toils To crown with honor their hard earned spoils The same firm will and unbounded vim. Will help him a Crystal Lake lass to win. I ong as the arching skies above us spread. And through school with ever steady tread. We’ll be true to Oakfield. to teachers and to friends. While bravely striving onward to the end.

The long, low rumble of a freight train, as it lumbered past the depot, was the only sound that disturbed the silence. As the train rounded the curve by the big water tanks, a stealthy figure emerged from beneath the last car. walked unsteadily and then disappearing in the shadow of a group of warehouses and coalsheds. Up at the big saw mills above St. Johns, the saws were humming busily in the clear, cold sunshine of the winter morning and the sawdust was piling up in great shining heaps. The “boss, sitting alone in the office shack, glanced up as a shadow fell across his work, and nodded to the big stranger standing in the doorway. “You’re the boss, aint ye?” the man asked. “I’m Bill McGraw, lookin’ for work.” “You’ll find what you’re looking for here. the boss replied. He called a man who was passing by the open door to show the new man his work. As the boss went back to his accounts he said half aloud, “Some more of the driftwood gang—the kind that stays about a week. Meanwhile as the stranger began his work, the other men watched him indifferently. “Nother Scot.” grumbled Hank Peters. DRIFTWOOD “Scotch nothing, exclaimed another man. “Why man. he’s got the map of Ireland all over his face. “Well, he won’t stay long, whatever he is. returned Hank. “His kind never do. Two weeks passed. Bill was still at the camp. A month passed without taking Bill with it. At the end of the second month he was marked down as a steady” and given a “raise. The big Irishman with his friendly ways, keen wit and inexhaustible stock of Irish yarns, had won the respect of the whole camp, especially of the children, of whom little Mary Ferris was bis most devoted admirer. As the winter wore away, the warm spring weather drew the children out of doors. “Irish Bill would sit on the porch of the Ferris home in the evening, after the day’s work was done, and tell the children long stories. “Me and my sister Nell was alone in the wurruld.’’ he would say. “Me ould aunt, she took us in, but Nell couldn't stand her scolding ould tongue so we ran away. I’d kill the old woman if we stayed there any longer. Nell said. She meant it, too. She was rid-headed. Nell was, with a temper to match, but a kindhearteder soul never breathed. She worked in a rich woman’s kitchen and when the tramps came to the door she'd take the mop or broom to them and drive them away. You’d break your heart laughing to watch her. She niver shed a tear but once.” he went on soberly. “That was when I told her I was for leaving the ould countree. “Lad,” she said. “I’d wurruk me fingers to the bone for ye. I can't let yez go.” Hut I couldn't stay there and let her wurruk for me so I came to Ameriky. Nell’s married now and happy, but she's never forgot me yet. “I’ve been drifting down the big river from St. Paul ever since. Me ould aunt used to say I was so woodenheaded I couldn’t drown anyway and I’m for thinking she was right, mebbe.” When they were tired he would suggest a song and little Mrs. Ferris would smile to herself as the strains of “Come Back to Erin or The Dear Little Shamrock floated in to her through the open door, the deep Irish voice rambling along with the shrill voices of the children, and clear and sweet above them all the golden voice of Mary. But one day, like a bolt out of the blue, came the blow that shattered their confidence in him. Irish Bill had gone down to St. John’s as usual that Saturday evening and when he came back, they understood and were sorry. Even little Mary crept away saddened by the change in her friend. But the next day Bill seemed so thoroughly penitent and ashamed that they forgave him. But the same thing happened again. “He’s seeing snakes and raving about his sister forgetting him. the Boss said. “He wants the doctor and the priest and the foreman because he thinks he’s going to die. That week cold winter again claimed the country for its own, but every night Bill plodded through the deep snow to the village postoffice. Saturday night a blizzard set in, growing worse every minute. Bill walked towards St. John’s, stopped and shivered. “What's the use? he muttered. “Nell’s forgot. I’ll just stop and get wan drink and go back again. And then above the roar of the storm came the voice of a little child singing the Irish ballad he had taught Mary, the one Nell used to love: “Till the shamrock shall perish, And the emerald shall fade. Thy memory I’ll cherish Sweet Jewel of the glade.' The man listened till the song died away and then went on to the postofflce. There was a letter with a familiar postmark of old Ireland but in the mist that rose suddenly before his eyes, he did not notice that the writing was strange. But when he opened it and spelled out the first words, a sudden fear seized him and his hands shook. It was from Nell’s husband. The postmistress, startled by his white face, asked sympathetically, “No bad news, I hope. Mr. McGraw?” “The wurst in the world, the man choked, “Nell’s dead,” and stumbled blindly out into the night. The snow beat against his face, the wind buffeted him mercilessly, but the man felt nothing, knew nothing but that one bewildered fact. Nell, his Nell, was dead. Stunned, perplexed, the Irishman sobbed. Ye was dying, then. That's why you didn’t write. And they’ll cover ye up in the ould sod.” A weight upon his brain seemed to crush out his reason. He staggered on not knowing whither he was being driven by the raging wind. After hours of waiting, when he came back to reality, he was walking along the railroad track. The storm had abated somewhat, but the snow still fell and the wind still screamed. The light streaming out of the depot window shone on the snow-covered platform, and told him where he was. Hut that was not the only light he saw nor was the wind the only sound he heard. Faintly and far away, he saw the gleaming headlight of the midnight express and heard the throbbing of its mighty engine. It came nearer, a fiery, menacing monster. Suddenly it seemed as if his long time friend, the mighty train, had turned traitor and was threatening him. Blind terror froze his blood and paralyzed his muscles, torturing him anew. But suddenly something awoke him to life and action. Across the glare of light darted a little dark shadow straight in front of the oncoming engine. He caught one glimpse of the child's face. Holy Mither,” he gasped, “it’s Mary. A minute later little Mary was safe and sound by the side of the track: Irish Bill lay crushed and bleeding, a thick pall of darkness settling over him, and the train sped on into the night, the engineer at the throttle unconscious of the tragedy back of him on the track. Men came and carried the Irishman into the depot and laid him down on one of the benches. After hours of waiting and watching he opened his eyes. “Lads, he murmured, “I'm done for. Where’s Mary? I’d be likin’ her to know. But she was already there, heartbroken at the suffering of her friend. “I’ll be lavin' you soon, he said, brokenly. “Just sing me wan more song. So she sang to him all the old favorites they used to sing together. The men of the camp were there and as they listened silently, rough hands stole to dim eyes to brush away unaccustomed tears. “Nell’s waitin’ for me so I’ll be goin' now. Sing me just ‘Home, Sweet Home.’ ” The song ended with a sob as the child heard him whisper, I’m going. Good-bye.” Then the watchers saw a look of rapture light up his face. Nell, darling, didn't forget. he said and Irish Bill passed over to his last reform, a hero out of DRIFTWOOD. HATTIE MEYERS. 5 SOME IMAGINES OF THE SOPHOMORE CLASS Imagine “Doc” if he weren’t cute.

To this day the Olympian games are still pursued with more of the modern form of competition. All of this only goes to show that athletics are not a thing of the past but a form of recreation that has been followed for many years. Too often, I fear, the real value of athletics is lost sight of and we think merely of the good times connected with it. Indeed it is a gross error to think that athletics are for the main purpose of enjoyment. Ry means of athletics the boy at school is permitted to rest his mental powers with a form of exercise which will help to educate him physically as well as mentally. Athletics also have their value in creating an incentive to do much better school work. The boy who enjoys athletics and who will work hard to be a success in athletics will also work hard to keep up his work in order to play in the athletic contests. Of course this standard must be upheld to make work and play operate together, which we are trying hard to establish here at Oakfield. In review of the past season of football and basketball there are words of cheer and encouragement and also words of reproof. With regard to football I will say that on the whole, the season was a decided success in view of the fact that the sport was practically new; not having been in the school for many years. The material was light but comparatively fast and on the whole the boys played a hard, fast game. We suffered two heavy defeats at the hands of schools of far superior numbers, opportunities and weight. Whenever playing with schools of our size we more than held our own. The one main criticism that must be passed on the season was the decided lack of training. A football team, however good, cannot play real football without strict training, which was not done by our little team and which is responsible for some of the defeats. The review of the basketball season also carries with it considerable victory. It also had its faults which, to be fair, must also be given. The team played hard basketball and at times 41 rather rough on the home floor but much of which can be attributed to the size of the floor. Scholarship caused some trouble but also goes to prove that we will insist on the school work and intend to uphold the scholarship more next year than we did this year ‘‘so he who can work can play. One more criticism which I feel privileged to pass on is the spirit of victory. Of course all athletic teams work hard and are desirous of victory but no team can sacrifice clean, upright athletics for the sake of victory. A well played game lost is worth far more than a poorly played game won at the expense of otherwise than strictly athletic traits. He is the best athlete who can do his level best and after doing so smile and cheer after defeat as well as vie- tory and not feel ashamed of either. The girls' basketball team is not to be disregarded. The girls practiced hard and played hard in the two games, but success was not their crown. They did their best as any team can do and faced their defeats with a smile and a cheer. May greater success crown their efforts next year. On the whole I would say that the spirit shown was very good and the prospects for greater advances in athletics are good. Give the school your interest in a way that they may profit; and lend your hearty support for the betterment and success of the athletics at Oakfield High School. N. G. LEXTZXER, Coach. 42 FOOTBALL GAMES Oakfield : 7. North Fond du Lac 0. The first game of the season was played at North Fond du Lac on October 11, 1913. Our team was not In very good shape and it was the first game of football for several of the team. However, the experience, we felt, was most essential so we tried our luck. The game was called at about 2:30 p. in. with a referee from North Fond du Lac. The first few minutes of play proved that the game was Oakfield’s unless greater things were done by their opponents. Time and again Ball would tear through the line for several gains and repeated long end runs were made by F. Bristol and Darling. Morgan played no minor part at quarter, making several long gains, proving too fast for anything Fondy had and using good judgment in his plays. The sensation of the day was the touchdown from kick-off by Ball in the third quarter. The game ended with the score 37 to 0 in favor of Oakfield. Oaktield O, Oniro 50. The second game of the season was played at Omro on October 18, 1913. The trip was a rather long drawn out affair but space will not permit a lengthy treatise. It was an ideal football day and the team felt like playing their best. We arrived on the field about 2:30 and went through a little signal practice and then waited for the referee's whistle. Omro won the toss and chose the windward goal. Coach Lentzner was asked to referee until the referee came and the game was on. The first few minutes of play seemed to show two well matched teams. The plays were fast and snappy but the Omro boys were too heavy for the light Oakfield team and it soon began to show. However, see-sawing back and forth the first half resulted in a 1C to 0 score, but the boys were pretty well played out. The second half began with considerable ginger shown by both sides but the odds were too great and Omro made touchdowns almost at will. The game ended with the score 50 to 0 in favor of Omro. However, on the whole, the game was clean and fast and taught our boys more football than easy victories. Oakfield O, Fond du Lae 4:5. The third game of the season was played with a team of greater weight, experience and opportunities. It was staged with the Fond du Lac High School at Fond du Lac. We had scheduled the game with the Junior team, but it was not allowed, so we took the first team in its place, realizing that our chances were few, but it was football we wished to learn and it means hard knocks. The game was very rough and it was necessary to inflict several penalties, one of rather a severe nature. The game ended with the score 43 to 0 in favor of Fond du Lac. 43 Oakfield :M, North I'nml du I ho. 0. The fourth game of the season was staged at Oakfield on November 1, 1913. The Fondy boys came down with “the spirit of revenge. as the Daily Reporter stated, and it proved to be a far better game than the first fray with this team. The team suffered a great loss on account of Fern Bristol being out of tse game with a badly sprained ankle. However. Tom (.Reason was placed at halfback and Roland Sclioepke at guard. The game was called about 3 o'clock with a rather wet field. However, the battle soon raged and again the indications were that the Oakfield boys had the game, but the Fondy boys put up a clean, hard battle from start to finish. Several new plays were successfully executed. Several trick plays were successful, one of which was the old “shoe string” play, which was responsible for a clean touchdown. Ball’s punting was also not surpassed in this game as in many others. The game ended with the score 33 to 0 in favor of Oakfield. Oakfield «, Wnyland Seconds tt. The fifth game of the season was played at Beaver Dam with the fast Wayland Academy second team. The worst part of this game, if it can be counted as part of the game, was the trip to and from Beaver Dam. We left here on the 4:20 and were obliged to wait at Minnesota Junction until 9:45. Then n returning were obliged to again wait until 9 o’clock and not getting home until 9:45. It was one of the longest days we ever put in and there were some tired heads that night. i owever, in spite of that fact, the game was probably the best of the season. The field was very soft and sloppy 1 and in attempting to run a few signals we found that very fast work was almost impossible. The Wayland boys were heavier than the Oak field team and it really looked rather dubious for a little while. But the boys had right blue blood in their veins that day and the battle waged hard right from the start. The referee was very good and both teams played for all there was in it. The first quarter ended with no score and both teams see-sawing back and forth up and down the field. At times Wayland would find holes in the Oakfleld line and again it would prove a stone wall while similar conditions would prevail in the Wayland team and thus kept the teams about even. However. in the second quarter, Correl Darling, the little guard, intercepted a forward pass by Wayland and tucking it under his arm went up the field at a pretty rate, running the ball a good thirty-five yards before being stopped in his course. Oakfield then tried another forward pass but it failed and was brought bark. Again the Wayland line was tried but the line held and it was last down with about four yards to make a touchdown. Ball dropped back and shot a perfect forward pass to Gleason, who tore over for the first touchdown. Ball failed to kick goal and the score stoed 0 to 0 in favor of Cakficld for the first half. The second half opened with renewed ginger and both teams fought fiercely but very clean and sportsmanlike. In this period Oakfield lost the ball on a fumble on their own forty-yard line. Here Wayland made twenty yards on a fluke forward pass and on a line plunge just made the touchdown with a few inches to spare. Wayland failed to kick goal and the score stood. Oakfield G, Wayland G. In the last quarter both teams played on the defensive and 4 considerable punting was resorted to of which Hal 1 had considerable the better of the argument. However, throughout this period, neither team scored and the game ended with the ball on Wayland's thirty-yard line. OakfieM 10, Waiipun .Seconds 7. The last game of the season was played with the Wau-pun High School seconds at Oaktield. The practice for this game consisted of several new plays which proved successful. The team represented as the second team was not purely second team as they had four regulars in the lineup. However, the team played these odds. The game was a fast, snappy game, with by far the better team work on the part of the home team. Both teams made some very good plays but the play of the day was the line shift play which had been practiced that week. Darling carried the ball with perfect interference for about sixty-five yards and planted the ball squarely behind the goal posts. Hall kicked goal and the score stood, Oakfield 7, Waupun 0. In the second quarter Hall received the ball on the kickoff and carried it within twenty yards of Waupun’s goal. Here the Waupun line was tried, but with no gain. Then Guy Darling stepped back and placed the ball squarely between the goal posts with a perfect drop-kick. Score, Oakfield 10. Waupun 0. With the remaining time no score was made. In the third quarter the Waupun boys showed more team work and in a series of forward passes and off tackle plays made a touchdown and kicked goal successfully. Score, Oakfield 10, Waupun 7. The remainder of this quarter was a series of exchanges with no change of score. In the fourth quarter. Quarter-back Morgan created a sensation by tearing through the line and running the ball to Waupun’s fifteen-yard line where he ran away from his interference and was downed. The remainder of the quarter resulted in no further scoring.

Our boys had fairly good team work considering the three times they had practiced. It was anyone’s game until about a minute before time was called, then Gerhard caught a basket from the north side of the floor. We lost 23-24. On January 9th, the Oakfteld High School played the Oshkosh Crescents on the Oakfield floor, winning to the tune of 25-2. The game was a walk-away. the Oakfield players playing rings around their opponents. Although the Oshkosh players were big fellows, the Oakfteld team held them to a lone field goal. When Oshkosh found that they were being beaten, they began to rough their opponents, but the Oakfield players could stand as much of that kind of playing as could Oshkosh. The game at Omro on the ICth of January was played in the high school attic w hich is a very poor hall, low ceiling and small floor. The boys were forced to play out of bounds, and our boys, not being used to this, were very much handicapped. Although Oakfteld put up a game fight they were defeated by a score of 23-18. In the second half G. Darling was hurt and E. Bristol took his place at left guard. Oakfield had hard luck in shooting baskets, but were best in team work and breaking up plays. The game at Plymouth was played on a floor very much larger than ours which was a disadvantage to the local boys. But the boys went into the game determined to make Plymouth run for a victory and they sure did. The game was very fast and exciting, and both teams made some spectacular shots, T. Gleason made some fine ones from the middle of the floor. The boys put up a fine game but were defeated by a faster team on a good, yet strange floor. The score at the end of the first half was 25-4 in favor of Plymouth. The final score being 50-17. Our fifth game of basketball was played January 30th at Kewaskum with Kewaskum High School. This w'as a very fast and exciting game. Neither side scored very much as the guarding was very close. At the end of the first half, the score was 10-8 in our favor. In the second half our boys went into the game determined to hold their lead and in this half we made six points to Kewaskum’s five, making the final score 1G-13 in our favor. Cn February Gth. we met Ripon at basketball for the first time in a number of years. Dariing was out of the list because of studies. I.urvey took his place and Read subbed. Our team work was ragged, and our basket, a poor imitation of a 2x4 Pickert, a Wayland Accademy man. and Page starred for Ripon. They got a lead which we could not overcome and took an easy victory of 25-G. We played the Fond du Lac Juniors at Oakfield Feb- 48 ruary 7th. During the first half, the game was very slow, each team scoring six points. The second half started with a whoop, Oakfield had just awakened. When the whistle blew, closing the game, Fondy still had their G and Oakfield had increased their score 24 points, making the score 30-G in our favor. Our eighth game of basketball was played at home February 20th, with Omro. Our boys were determined to win to get even for the defeat they received at Omro. The game started with a rush and Omro showed that they had not wasted their practice time. Neither had our boys, for. at the end of the first half, the score was 24-16. In the second half Oakfield still played the better game, mak-ing fifteen points to Omro's ten. The final score was 39-2G in our favor. The game with Kewaskum was the last we played and the fellows were out for a victory. Although Kewaskum showed a marked improvement since our first game, they were not in our class. The fellows were rather sleepy the first ten minutes of play, but when “Butch, “Tom and “Banker broke loose, we took a big lead and won an easy victory, 39-14. In a preliminary game, the Independents won a forfeited game from Franklin School of Fond du Lac.

After a series of disagreements among the schools placed in the league it was finally settled by the other two schools deciding on the third of April, which was rather too early for us. However, we did abide by the decision of the majority and the date was set for the third which meant some very hard work for a short time. After working very hard under these conditions the disease germ had its say and school was closed the week of the third, so the contest was postponed until the tenth of April. The week after the forced vacation was set aside for the regular spring vacation so it handicapped the work very much. However, with much credit to those who stayed by the ship the preparations were made and the home contest was held in the high school assembly April 8th. The follow- ing program was rendered: Music. Piano Solo...................Dessa Hoffman Cherokee Roses .....................Sadie Morgan Tom Sawyer’s Love Affair............Grace Cowles Music, Piano Solo...............Katherine Jansen Babby .............................Olivia Morse Combat in the Arena.................Mabel Moore Oration—Solution of the Problems of the South ...................................Edwin Bristol Edwin Bristol being the only orator merely gave his oration for practice and received great praise from the judges. The declamatory work was very good in all cases. First place was awarded to Grace Cowles and second place to Mabel Moore. L. Rosenclale, North Fond du Lnc, Oak field. The remaining two days were spent in training the contestants who were to represent the school in the league contest. The league contest was held at Oakfield, but on account of the dreary weather the number present was very small. The following program was given: 1. An Overwhelming Saturday.......Margaret Hill 2. The Famine.......................Eva Perezzo 3. Old Folks..............................Mildred McCumber 4. Tom Sawyer’s Love Affair.........Grace Cowles 5. Selection from the Palace of the King........ .........................Esther Becklinger C. The Combat in the Arena...........Mabel Moore 7. Solution of the Problems of the South........ ............................Edwin Bristol 8. A New South..............................Erwin Habercorn It was a close and very interesting contest and the marking of the judges were close. The judges represented some of the best talent of the state in Mr. Cawley from Lawrence College, the state orator of the small colleges of the 54 state: Mr. Dexter from Kipon College, the peace orator representing the state from the small colleges, and Mr Steiner from Beloit College, member of the debating team to meet Knox College. The contest was very keen and intensely interesting with each contestant doing their level best. The decision of the judges gave first place to Margaret Hill and second place to Grace Cowles with a very narrow margin of three points in the final average. We feel very proud of our representative in so much that she is but a freshman and we hope to have her as a sure winner in her remaining three years. In oratory Mr. Habercorn was given first honors and Edwin Bristol second. Edwin might have done much better, but the short time allotted to it was practically responsible for his defeat. He has the natural ability of a good speaker with some training and we hope to bank on him next year as a prospective winner. There is one thing which might be emphasized here concerning this line of work. It is unquestionably one of the best forms of practical education in the school. Athletics have their place and everybody seems interested in the school athletics, but here is a chance where the person taking part really acquires something of greater value than athletics. Greater interest should be shown on the part of the pupil and encouragement on the part of the parents. More contestants in oratory might have meant a victory this year but with only one to take part it was exceedingly difficult to do the best work. In declamatory work sickness blocked some of those wishing to enter, but there also greater interest can be shown without it being necessary for the instructors to coax and tease some to enter the contest. With fairly good luck this year we look forward to better work next year and greater enthusiasm. X. G. LENTZNER, Principal. IN MEMORY OF LEE MARTIN UNDERWOOD Lee was born at Oakfield on July 29, 1888, and lived here up to the time he set out to practice his prepared profession of veterinary. He attended the Oakfield Public and High Schools, from which he was graduated in 1907. Throughout his entire High School course reports show him to have been exceedingly industrious and working toward a high ideal. He was a congenial, pleasant boy and made innumerable friends. After leaving High School he attended the McKilipp Medical College of Chicago in pursuit of his profession, from which he graduated, and established his business at Tomah, Wisconsin. Being here but a comparatively short time his business grew very rapidly and he fell into strong favor with the people of Tomah and the surrounding country. While answering a call some miles out in the country and passing over a road he had many times traveled, his automobile turned turtle and he received the fatal blow on March 27, 1914. The shock came to the people of Oakfield as a flash of lightning from a clear sky. The hearts of his parents, to say the least, were broken, and his many friends felt the loss very keenly. He was a member of Oakfield Lodge, F. and A. M., No. 158, and there again had many loyal brothers. His Alma Mater extends the heartfelt sympathies to the bereaved parents in the untimely loss of their young son, and as his picture hangs on its wall, we shall ever remember that he was a loyal representative of Oakfield High and a friend “true blue.” 56 m MEMORIAL LEE M. UNDERWOOD Born July 29 1888 Died March 27 1914 YELLOWSTONE Oh! the wonder of It. Yellowstone park with its myriads of geysers, its beautiful snowcapped mountains, its canyons, rivers, lakes, terraced hot springs and other wonders of nature has indeed proved to be the delight of every tourist. Yellowstone park is the largest of all four of our national parks. It comprises 3,312 square miles, not including the forest reserve, all of which is about half as large as Connecticut. Embosomed among the mountains as it is, it seemed that God. the Creator of all nature, had that purpose of keeping it sacred from the intrusion of man. Its elevation is estimated as eight thousand feet above the ocean. The Indians were the first visitors of this region They held it holy and seldom visited it except when getting materials for war weapons. However, when the white people first explored it a small band of them were living there. While returning from the West one of the members of the Lewis and Clark expedition, with a few followers, left those explorers and after some time were persuaded by the Indians to visit the region of Yellowstone. Others in later years also explored it, but the real credit for it being set aside as a park, falls to the Washburn party. In the later years the Teton forest region was taken in. This extended far enough back to include the beautiful range and the noted pasture lands of the Rocky Mountain game animals. There were objections to its becoming re- NATIONAL PARK served but later it was decided that it was of no possible use in the way of mining and agriculture because of its thick covering of volcanic rock, while otherwise its wonderful scenery with its good position makes it healthful and a pleasure resort. Yellowstone is the coolest and highest of the parks. Seldom a night passes but what there is a frost. But for the most delicate person it is found warm enough in summer. The air is full of electricity and ozone. It is healing and most invigorating, being kept pure by frost and fire. The scenery is wild while a better place for camping and for outdoor sports was never found. Soldiers are stationed in the park, their headquarters being at Fort Yellowstone. Their purpose for being there is to protect the forest, the birds and animals, also to keep people from marring the terraces or from writing their names in any conspicuous place. No automobiles, railroads or electric lines are allowed within the park. Upon entering the park for a distance of eight miles you ride along a road, on one side bounded by steep cliffs and on the other by a pretty stream. Suddenly a turn in the road brings you to a large, beautiful hotel. Had you formed your own ideas of the hotels of the park, I doubt if you would have pictured such a fine structure. Its rooms are nicely furnished and very large. Besides this one there are four others. One of these, OLD FAITHFUL INN. is the most unique and famous of 58 them all. Old Faithful Inn is the largest log building ever built by man. It has everything in the line of convenience and comfort. The blocks of stone in its foundation are rough and appear as if they had never been changed after they had been taken from the base of the cliff. The inside of the building is beautiful as well as quaint. The steps of the stairway, leading to the lookout are made of split logs. The panes of the windows are diamond shaped and with their dainty French curtains are a contrast to the surrounding logs. The large doors of the entrance and dining rooms are noticed by all. The hinges and locks and the huge clock were forged by hand from iron bars. An old time fireplace, sixteen feet square, is made of lava blocks and rises four stories to the roof. Electric candles, hardwood floors, mission furniture, gay rugs and curtains are also a contrast to the rough logs and give warmth and richness to the building. The center of the building rises eight stories high and is surmounted by the lookout from which may be seen much of the geyser basin. From this building float the emblems of various nations. Old Faithful Inn was built at the cost of two hundred thousand dollars and was opened in 1904. In its way, the LAKE COLONIAL HOTEL is as attractive as Old Faithful Inn. It is situated at the head of Yellowstone lake and from it may be seen the whole of the lake, which is twenty miles long. On the east side of the lake are the mountains Langford, Doane and Stephenson. On the west are Coulter Peak, Turret and Table Mountains. Directly south of the hotel and twenty miles away is Mount Sheridan. One feels strangely at home on enter- ing the hotel and regrets leaving it. This hotel has accommodations for four hundred and fifty persons. The two other hotels are situated, one at the Grand Canyon, the other at the lower Geyser Basin. The views from each are wonderful and have all modern improvements. Yellowstone park is about the only place in the United States that abounds in the large animal life. It is not an uncommon sight for travelers to see elk quenching their thirst at some stream near the roadside or perhaps deer or antelope grazing not far away. Bears are common and very tame. Fox and smaller game are found to a greater extent. The buffalo herd consists of but two hundred buffalo. Not less than thirty years ago. progress down the western rivers or across the plains had to be stopped to allow for the passing of the large herds of them; at the present time they have almost disappeared. We have but reached the Mammoth Spring Hotel, our first stop within the park. A short distance from the hotel is to be seen a strange natural molded shaft, fifty-two feet high. We are told that it is the cone of a geyser long since dead. It received its queer name, LIBERTY CAP, from the fact that when looked upon from certain points of view it resembles a style of headdress during the Revolutionary War. Mammoth Hot Springs is situated not very far from the hotel and is the center of attraction. Its terraces form a small mountain, covering two acres, which appears to be growing. When the water flows down over the terraces, the most exquisite of colors, such as orange, purple, red. brown and yellow appear. When this mineral ladened water ceases to flow, the terraces become a pure white not discernible from carrara marble. After traveling four or five miles from the springs we gain the entrance to Golden Gate. It is a short, rugged, steep, yellowish canyon. The government spent much money to make it passable. A viaduct of steel and concrete, the only one of Its kind, was built here. Farther on we reach Obsidian Cliff which is formed of volcanic glass. It is high, steep and black. The Indians got material to make arrowheads from this cliff. Roaring Mountain is another attraction. It appears to be honey-combed and from the holes, steam issues. The noise can oftimes be heard far away. Norris Basin is a weird place. Steam is continually rising from these hot water pools. Streams originate and flow in many directions from the center of the pool. It possesses the only steam geysers in the world. Black Growler is a geyser emitting steam from three places. Its growls and terrible sounds make anyone fear it. Near Gibbon Fall is a fan shaped fall eighty feet tall. It falls over black volcanic rock thus making a very pretty picture. The Fountain Geyser is the most beautiful of its class. It projects hugh masses of water in spasmodic impulses, playing every four hours, fifteen minutes at a time. This fountain or geyser is far more terrible than Norris Basin Excelsior Geyser is the explosive kind. It gives no sign before breaking forth. Its last eruption was in 1888. It plays for a length of one or two years and to a height of two hundred and fifty feet. Prismatic Lake, the largest and most beautiful of its kind, is two hundred fifty by three hundred feet. Clouds of steam continually rise from it. Its colors excel those of the rainbow. Old Faithful Geyser is located not far from Old Faithful Inn. It plays every seventy minutes, prompt to the minute. It is the pet geyser of the tourist. Although not the prettiest it is the most regular and is thought much of for this reason. Its height varies from one hundred to one hundred fifty feet. Riverside and Giant geysers are of equal attraction. Castle Geyser, named by the Washburn party, is great at times. It erupts steam and water equal to the height of fifty to seventy-five feet and occasionally to two hundred feet. These are just a few of the many geysers of the park. Scattered among them are many beautiful pools. The caldrons or paint pots are openings in the ground in which is boiling clay and water. This and the cracked, heated clay near the caldron, is highly colored. The Great or lower fall of the Yellowstone, 300 feet high, has lovely colors. The prevailing colors of the surrounding ground are chocolate and red. The Continental Divide extends through Yellowstone Park. On its summit is a tiny lake with two outlets, one emptying into the Atlantic through the Yellowstone and Missouri rivers; the other into the Pacific ocean through the Snake river. On the west side of the divide is an extensive forest. At the far horizon can be seen the three snowcapped peaks of the Teton Range. On the west side of the divide lies Yellowstone Lake. Yellowstone Lake is sixteen miles wide and twenty miles long and has an average depth of thirty feet. Its shores are heavily wooded and it is hemmed in by the mountains. The water is cold and clear and has an abundance of salmon trout. A deathlike stillness prevails in the region of this lake. On our way to the Grand Canyon we see Mud Volcano, the only volcano of its kind in the park, which seldom erupts. We cross Hayden Valley, the most beautiful and largest valley in the park, and finally draw near the Grand Canyon. The Canyon is twenty miles long and from twelve to twenty hundred feet deep. The tourist usually sees about five miles of the most attractive part of it. When one first gazes at it he realizes that there are no words to de- 61 scribe it. There are all manners of colors no artist can paint. The finest shapes are to be seen among the rocks, such as castles, turrets and pinnacles. One gentleman picked up a piece of rock and put it in his pocket. Upon looking at it later he found that the color had disappeared and its appearance was that of a common stone. These things which I have undertaken to describe to you are a few of the most renowned. Is there any reason why this region should not have been set aside as the pleasure ground of our nation? Picture to yourself what might have happened to it had it not been kept reserved and its beauty destroyed by money making schemes. LORENE BOGIE.

After many years of study of the human race, I have come to the conclusion that in the more highly civilized races there are only three classes of men, other authority notwithstanding. These three classes are: The Hero, The Martyr, and The Coward. The Hero is the highest class of society and gains his position in the following manner: When his wife is going out to a theater and is in a great hurry, and asks him to button up the back of her waist, he tries and SUCCEEDS. The next class, The Martyr, is the man who in the same position tries and FAILS. The third class, the lowest class of society, is the man who, lacking that quality called nerve, never gets married and in this way escapes this trial.

The decorations were in black and were in keeping with the Hallowe'en time. The amusements of the evening were games and contests in which several prizes were awarded. At 11 o’clock luncheon was served, after which the guests departed, expressing their appreciation for Junior tact and ability as hosts. 64 FOOTBALL At the close of the football season, after a victory over the Waupun 2nds. the football boys were entertained with a banquet at the home of the coach. Dinner was served at about 8 o’clock, after waiting for one of the team one hour, and all appetites were well edged. After partaking to their extent of the chicken dinner, the boys adjourned to the living room, where the evening was spent in cracking jokes (chestnuts) and singing, in which Mr. Lentzner gave vent to his favorite, “THE PROF. HE LEADS A JOLLY LIFE. After these frolics the team elected the succeeding captain. The first ballot resulted in no election. The second ballot resulted in the election of Earl Millar as captain for next year. The table was decorated in accordance with the occasion. A large football was placed in the center of the table, on which was drawn a football field with miniature RECEPTION goal posts at each end. Between the field lines were the scores of the games of the season. Leading from this large football were ribbons bearing a smaller football on which was placed each player’s name and the position he played. After the reception the boys adjourned with a yell for the coach and his wife. O. H. S. GIRLS FOOTBALL RE EPTION On the evening of November 12, 1913, a number of the High School girls and ladies of the Faculty gave the football boys and coach a spread in the Assembly of the High School. The spread had been promised for some time on certain conditions, so it was looked forward to and appreciated by the guests. Each place bore the name of its lawful occupant on a football shaped figure. The feed was much appreciated and all reported a very good time. Several yells were given by the boys in appreciation of the treat. 65 FACUALTY RECEPTION The annual reception by the school faculty was given the pupils and members of the board of Oakfield High School on the evening of the 25th of April in the High School Assembly. It was in the nature of a backward party, of which the invitations were indicative, having been written backward. The room was decorated in pink and white: a bell shaped effect of pink and white paper being suspended from the ceiling, giving the room a cozy, neat appearance. The chairs, in accordance with the spirit, greeted the guests backward. Upon entering the building the guests were greeted with “good-night” and requested to walk up the last flight of stairs backward, which caused much frolic and fun in some cases. Upon entering the room the reception committee greeted the guests in turn, each receiving their respective toll. The first assuring himself that they wore something backward: the second requesting a backward handshake and the spelling of their first name backward: the third a backward handshake and the spelling of the word good-night. After a medley by the Faculty, with backs to the audience, the backward process was again taken up by serving the refreshments first and in the backward style, first water and finishing with ice cream and cake. The evening was spent In playing various games in which all took a hearty part and enjoyed themselves. After the games they danced until about 11:30, when they departed with the expression of thanks and the assurance that all had had a very enjoyable time. 66 A RACE WITH A FLOOD George Motter was the twenty-year-old son of a wealthy manufacturer of Hilton, a bustling town in central Ohio. George was an only child, but for all of that he was not like most rich men's sons. He was not snobbish, but was kind and well mannered, a perfect gentleman. The young man had completed his schooling with a four year commercial course at the University of Ohio. He worked in his father’s office. George was also interested in aviation and had made a forty horsepower Bleriot monoplane, all except the engine. He handled his machine with the skill of a professional. The town of Hilton is situated on the Conton river, which comes pouring down from the northward with a rapidity which made it valuable for power purposes. The river furnished power for the mills and factories by means of a dam just north of the town. The power was carried to the mills in the form of electricity. Ten miles to the southward was another manufacturing town named Falo. A man by the name of John D. Stilia was the chief holder of capital of the place. He was the bitter rival of George Motter's father of Hilton and little love was lost between the two men. The rich Falo manufacturer had a pretty daughter named Marguerite. It happened that Miss Stilia had attended the State University while George Motter was there. The two became acquainted. with the result that George fell in love. When the young man began to bestow attention upon Marguerite he found great disfavor in the eyes of the girl's father. It was not because of George himself, but because of his father, that Mr. Stilia did not want his daughter to associate with the young man. One night while paying a visit upon Miss Stilia he encountered the old gentleman in the library. Then, despite the beseeching of his daughter. Mr. Stilia ordered George from the house and told him to come no more. Poor George was cast in gloom! This seemed to bring weather corresponding to his spirit. For almost a week rain fell steadily and reports of great loss of life and property caused by terrible floods were frequent. The Canton river had risen until it taxed the dam at Hilton to the utmost. There seemed to be no chance, however, of its bursting and the people felt safe. One day at noon as George was closing the office the telephone rang. He answered it immediately. “The dam at Talbot has given out; flee for your lives, came the voice at the other end of the line. 67 George waited to hear no more, for he knew full well the danger the people faced. Talbot was a town twenty miles to the northward and the mighty volume of water released by the dam would destroy everything before it, leaving death and destruction in its path. The young man soon spread the alarm through the town and then thought of Falo and his precious Marguerite. He tried to call Falo by the telephone but received no answer. Again and again he rang but received no answer. By this time the people of Hilton had fled to places of safety on the hill. Then came a faint noise like the sound of distant thunder. The noise increased until it was a roar. Then George knew that it was the flood pouring down like a mill race upon the town. He was to warn the people of Falo, but how? Again he tried the telephone and again received no answer. If he did not warn the people of the other town they would not learn of their danger until they heard the awful roar of the mighty flood moving swiftly toward them. They would all be drowned in their homes like rats in a trap. Then a thought came to George. He would fly to Falo in his monoplane. In five minutes he had the machine out of the shed and ready for the flight. He had no time to lose, for the flood was, by this time, less than three miles away. In a minute more the machine left the ground and sped to the southward with the swiftness of an Indian arrow. Gradually the roar of the water was left behind and soon the church spires and smoke stacks of Falo came into view. It was not long before George landed in the public square. The people were entirely unsuspecting of the danger but the alarm soon sent them scurrying to the hills. George started his machine again and flew to the place where the people had gathered on the hill, where he found Marguerite. The poor girl was in great distress. She had been visiting a friend in the country when she heard of the danger. Upon finding the people on the hills she looked for her father but could not find him. She feared that something had happened to him so that he was unable to flee from danger. She appealed to George for help, crying. Oh. George, find him: find him.” The roar of the flood could be heard very plainly, but George started his machine again and flew back to the public square. He was taking his life in his own hands and he was well aware of his danger. In ten minutes more the flood would strike the town. Then if he was not in the air it meant a horrible death. George alighted from his machine and ran toward Mr. Stilia’s home. For five minutes he searched frantically but found no living being. Then he found a locked door from the library. George had to resort to some football tactics to break down the door but at last it was shattered. In the room he found Mr. Stilia asleep. George had supposed this room to be a closet and had overlooked it in his haste. The old gentleman was soon awakened and told of the danger. Both Mr. Stalia and George ran from the house at a rapid pace. They had only two more minutes to escape from the onrushing flood. When Mr. Stalia heard the roar of the water he cried, “My God. We can never make it,” and fainted. George picked up the old man and carried him as best he could to the machine. By the time the old man was strapped in the passenger seat the flood was at the edge of the town. It would be at the public square in thirty seconds more. George climbed to his seat and spun the motor but it balked and failed to start. What if it would not start? He dared not think of the consequences. He tried again and this time the engine started. Then just as the water rose about the bottom of the landing wheels the machine rose upwards like a great bird driven from its hiding place by a hunter. The people cheered when they saw that Mr. Stilia was safe. George soon landed on solid ground where the people had gathered. He climbed to the ground and released the man from his straps. The old gentleman had again regained consciousness and was merely shaking with happiness. He grasped George’s hand and feelingly said, Forgive me, my boy. The flood subsided in a few days but the damage done by it was great. Fortunately no lives were lost at Hilton and Filo and soon the damage was repaired. At George’s wedding Mr. Motter and Mr. Stilia walked down the church aisle arm and arm. the first time they had been seen together for many years. Their business relations had made them bitter enemies but now and forever those were forgotten. George became general manager of his father’s interest and through his influence the factories of Mr. Motter and Mr. Stilia were combined under one business head. This was an improvement for all concerned, and especially Marguerite. NEIL MORGAN, 16.
