NVQ- will never forget The Royal Civic League, organized by Miss Martha jones, our class adviser. The purpose of the league was to set high a high standard of school citizenship and to do all that was possible to improve our school. Our motto was Fight and VVin. VVe planted a tree on Arbor Day. Roland l'ecker played basketball, and john Hoppe, junior Merrill, and Marion Burleton played in the band. john Hoppe made the Honor Roll. Lyle Snyder and Edwin VVoodwiss dropped out. Class officers elected were: Felicia Scharschmidt, presidentg Lyle Snyder. vice president, Doris Hanna, secretary-treasurer. The following year we boasted 18 members, and Miss Sommerfield was our class adivser. VVe entered school under an entirely new faculty and, of course, we were anxious to initiate the Freshmen. Eleanor Sloggy, joe Wlendl, and Merlin liurleton left our midst. Alvin Schmidt, Leslie Senk, and Roland Vecker played on the championship basketball and baseball teams of that year. Marian Burleton, john Hoppe and junior Merrill played in the band. john Hoppe had his name engraved on the Honor Roll again this year. Class officers were: john Hoppe, presidentg Doris Hanna, vice president, and Arlene Dethardt, secretary-treasurer. ln the fall of 1936 only 13 members answered the roll call. Donald Cowles joined us and Gertude Burns and Helen Shriner left us. Alvin Schmidt, Leslie Senk, Roland Vecker, and john Hoppe were star members of the basketball team. Marian Burleton, Arlene Dethardt. Mabl Schmidt, and Doris Hanna represented us in forensics. junior Merrill, john Hoppe, and Marian liurleton still played in the band. VVe had a very successful Prom with a Maypole theme and Doris Ilanna and john Hoppe as Prom Queen and King, respectively. Mr. Heimerl was our class adviser. Class officers were as follows: Doris Hanna, president, Mabel Schmidt, vice pres- ident, Donald Cowles, secretary-treasurer. Before the year closed Donald Cowles and Roland Uecker had to leave our little family much to our regret, so there are now only 11 members re- maining to enter into the busiest year of our high school lives.

956 Oak Leaves, 1937 Q Oakjield High School HISTORY OF THE OAK LEAVES The first edition of THE OAK LEAVES was published by the Oakfield High School graduating class of 1906. This booklet contained a picture of the school building before the front wing had been added. It also contained a list of all the alumni, and the address by the class president who was also salutatorian. Because it was the first edition of our high school annual, it was very interesting. The second edition of THE OAK LEAVES, published in 1907, was dedi- cated to Mr. Leroy Curtis, then principal of the school. The outstanding feature of the book was an original class song. In 1908 THE OAK LEAVES was dedicated to the Mesdames V. Maude Butcher, and Norma C. Halbach, teachers in the school. Earle Henningson was editor-in-chief. This edition featured many pictures of school organiza- tions. lt is the closest approach to what our annual is today. Particular attention is paid to athletics. ln 1909 THE OAK LEAVES was dedicated to the school board. This book was outstanding because it contained an article by each graduate and much original poetry. In 1910 THE OAK LEAVES was dedicated to Mesdames Elsa Breit- kreutz and Nora Bell Binnie, both high school teachers. The editor-in-chief was Carl Cragoe. This book contained many group pictures and some very clever and witty writings. THE OAK LEAVES of 1911 was dedicated to Miss Louise Stolp. The editor-in-chief was Will Orvis. This issue featured the curriculum that was being used at that time. For the first time it contained group pictures of each class. THE OAK LEAVES of 1912 was dedicated to the graduating class of 1912. Della Parduhn was editor-in-chief. The outstanding feature of this annual was the picture of the annual staff. There was no annual published in 1913. The last edition of THE OAK LEAVES that we have received was printed in 1914 and was dedicated to Principal N. G. Lentzner. Carleton Henningsen was editor-in-chief. The booklet featured cartoons, society news, and ath- letics. Thus in 1937 we, the Seniors of Oakfield High School, are publishing the first edition of THE OAK LEAVES since 1914. We sincerely hope it may be continued down through the years to come. Page Nine
