95? Oak Leaves, 1937 o S Oakjield High School HIGH SCHOOL PARTIES The first party held this year was the Freshman initiation put on by the Sophomores. We all enjoyed watching the Freshmen being led through the Chamber of Horrors, etc. We had a good time. The Freshmen staged a masquerade for a return party. Everybody had a good time trying to find out who the stranger was. It turned out to be Miss Scholz. This was one party that everyone present took part in, and is believed to be the best party ever held by any class of the Oakfield High School. Even though Oaklield lost to North Fondy at Fond du Lac, everyone re- turned to have a good time at the Christmas party given by the Seniors. Danc- ing was enjoyed and everybody received a gift from Santa Claus. The Iunior Prom was an interesting and gala affair. Eddie Becker's or- chestra furnished the music, and the theme of the party was built around a maypole dance by ten comely maidens seeing as how the next day was May lst or May day. Everybody liked it. THE BAND The Oakfield Band was organized in 1928 with Alba Parrot as instructor. The following year Mr. joseph Schmitz of Fond du Lac was hired as Director. The band plays ten concerts each summer downtown. Our band was award- ed second place in a band tournament at Fond du Lac Iuly 5, 1936. We expect to enter another this summer. A GIRL SCOUTS The Girl Scout Troop No. 1 of Oakfield was organized Iuly, 1934. Mrs. Dave Kenyon was Captain and Mrs. Maurice Wells and Mrs. L. H. Cowles, lieutenants. There were about twelve irls at this first meeting. The first summer a week-end was spent at Camp Elyron. The next summer was spent at Shagginappi, an official Girl Scout camp. At present there are about twenty members, of whom three are first class, twelve are second class and the rest tenderfoot. Miss Agnes Huenerberg is our captain, and Mrs. Wells and Miss Victoria Scholz are our lieutenants. BOY SCOUTS The Boy Scout Troop No. 9 of Oakfield was organized in 1933 with Mr. I. E. Steiner as Scoutmaster. The boys have gone to Camp Shagginappi ev- ery summer for the past three years. They also enjoyed two week-ends at Long Lake. The first class scouts enjoyed a trip north near Mercer last sum- mer. At present two patrols are organized. the Rattlesnakes and the Cobras. Mr. Morton is assistant scoutmaster, and Bob Lawson is the Senior Patrol Leader. THE OAKLEAF Every four weeks we get a copy of the school paper, The Oakleaf, edited by the students and advised by Mr. Morton. Watch it grow! Page Twenty-one
