OAK LEAVES Senior Glass History President John Hoppe Vice President .......................... -............. Doris Hanna Secretary and Treasurer —......- Arlene Dethardt In the fall of 1934, twenty bewildered students entered the assembly—this was the future class of 1938. The following were elected class officers: President, Felicia Scharschmidt; Vice President, Lyle Snyder: and Secretary-Treasurer, Doris Hanna. Miss Jones, our class adviser, organized The Royal Civic League, the purpose of which was to set a high standard of citizenship. Leslie Senk, Alvin Schmidt, and Roland Uecker played basketball and baseball, and John Hoppe, Junior Merrill, and Marian Burleton played in the band. John Hoppe made the Honor Roll. At this time, Lyle Snyder and Edwin Woodwiss dropped out. As Sophomores, we numbered eighteen: we now were full-fledged students and could get even with the Freshmen. Miss Sommerfield was our class adviser. and our officers were: President, John Hoppe; Vice President, Doris Hanna: Secretary and Treasurer, Arlene Dethardt. Eleanor Sloggy, Joe Wendl. and Merlin Burleton left us. Alvin Schmidt, Leslie Senk, and Roland Uccker played on the championship basketball and baseball teams of that year. Marion Burleton, Junior Merrill, and John Hoppe played in the band: John Hoppe was on the Honor Roll again. The next year, as Juniors, there were thirteen of us. Donald Cawles joined us, and Gertrude Burns and Helen Shriner left us. Our Prom was a very successful affair worked out with a Maypole theme, and Doris Hanna and John Hoppe were Prom Queen and King, respectively. Mr. Heimerl was our class adviser, and the officers were: President, Doris Hanna: Vice President. Mabel Schmidt; and Secretary and Treasurer, Donald Cowles. Junior Merrill. John Hoppe, and Marian Burleton still played in the band. Alvin Schmidt, Leslie Senk, John Hoppe, and Roland Uecker starred on the basketball team. Alvin Schmidt. Junior Merrill, Leslie Senk. and John Hoppe played softball. Marian Burleton, Arlene Dethardt. Mabel Schmidt, and Doris Hanna represented us in forensics. Before the year ended, Donald Cowles and Roland Uecker took their leave, much to our regret. Our Senior year has come and is practically gone—altogether too swiftly. Charles Whyms entered our midst. We put on the first Homecoming the school had ever held on December 21, 1937. Arlene Dethardt was one of the three popular cheerleaders. Mabel Schmidt. Junior Merrill. Martha Smiljanic, Felix Scharschmidt. Arlene Dethardt, and Marian Burleton represented us in forensics. Junior Merrill played in the band, and Leslie Senk was a color bearer. Alvin Schmidt. Leslie Senk, John Hoppe, and Junior Merrill played softball. Leslie Senk. John Hoppe, and Alvin Schmidt were stars on the basketball team which took its share of laurels. Our class play was a huge success. It was one of the best that had been presented in several years. Numerous activities have made this the best of our four years in high school. Martha Smiljanic was Valedictorian and John Hoppe, Salutatorian. In passing, we. the Seniors wish the faculty and student body the best of luck and happiness in their activities next year. [6]

Warren Erdmann Vice President Harvej Dehring Secretary and Treasurer .................. Raymond Burleton Last year we started an Oakfield High School career as a class of twenty-four members. Marjorie Cowles moved away before the end of the school year. This year we added Harvey Dehring. Ruby Snyder, and Emilie Richter to our class roll, but we sorrowfully had to scratch off Jane Day. Chester Kottke. Robert Thill, and Mildred Anderson this last fall. Our class seems to be the “dark horse” class of the school. Maybe we aren’t far from the freshman year, but we expect to improve with age. [8]
