©I OAK LEAVES SMinor Sports The INTERCLASS BASKETBALL TOURNAMENT, held the last of March, proved very interesting this year. In the first frame the Junior girls topped the Freshmen 8 to 5, and the Senior boys won from the Sophomores 21 to 12. In the second frame the Sophomore girls nosed out the Senior girls 6 to 5, and the Junior boys took the Freshmen. In the championship games the Junior girls won from the Sophomore girls; therefore their names are printed on the jug. The Senior boys took the Junior boys into camp 24 to 10. The lower classmen were overcome by experience, so the Seniors tell us. The fall SOFTBALL schedule was choked off by Mr. Morton after our first two games, as a disciplinary measure. The Oakleaves had lost games to Rosendale and Lomira and forfeited the rest. This spring a very interesting intramural softball schedule has been sponsored by Mr. Heimerl and Mr. Hayden. To date each team has played six games and the standings show them all tied up at three all. A TENNIS TOURNAMENT was sponsored last fall. Orville Erdmann waded through the best the student body had to offer in the way of competition, and then topped it all off by cleaning up on the faculty in the final games. This spring the first Tri-County Tennis Tournament was held at Taylor Park at Fond du Lac on May 19th. At this writing the Oakfield team has not been selected. The third annual interclass TRACK FIELD meet was held in April. The Juniors won first place with the Sophomores close on their heels. Only one old record remained when the meet was finished. Warren Erdmann, a sophomore, led the assault by smashing three and tieing one. He tied Des Bois record of .12 in the 100 yd. dash, and set a new mark in the quarter mile of 62.2, in the half mile of 2 min. 27.6 sec., and in the mile of 5 min. 8.2 sec. Lloyd Anderson set a new pole vault record of 9 ft., a new high jump record of 4 ft. 8 in., and a high hurdles time of :20.2. Orville Erdmann set a new mark of 17 ft. 1 in. in the broad jump, and ran the low hurdles in :31.5. Donald Oelke broke the old shot put record with a heave of 34 ft. 11 in., and in the discus he set a new mark of 88 ft. 7 in. The Junior class relay team made up of Paul Lund. Wilbur Buell. Clinton Censky, and Orville Erdmann set a new mark of 1:56 in the 880 yard shuttle relay. The team lost two practice meets when they took on Juneau and North Fond du Lac early in the season. They won first place at the first annual Wayland Academy Relays at Beaver Dam on May 6th. Warren and Orville Erdmann, Lloyd Anderson, and Donald Oelke qualified for the state meet by winning places at the district meet at Plymouth, May 13. The team expects to compete in the Tri-County meet to be held at Fond du Lac May 23, and in the state meet at Madison on May 28th. [14]

OAK LEAVES School Basketball FIRST IN TRI-COUNTY LEAGUE The 1937-38 basketball season opened with few of us realizing how far the team was to go. The squad fought its way through the twelve T.C.I.A.A. conference games, winning eleven and the championship. This was Oakfield's second undisputed title, having tied for the lead in 1932 and 1933 and in 1935 and 1936 and having won it alone in 1931-32. FIRST IN DISTRICT TOURNAMENT On March 5, Oakfield won its first District Championship by defeating Fox Lake 17 to 12 in the final game of the W.I.A.A. Class C tournament at Juneau. Lloyd Anderson was chosen center and Leslie Senk guard on the Alltournament team. The team was presented with a plaque trophy and each player received a gold medal. REGIONAL TOURNAMENT Four district tournament winners met at Horicon on March 17 to qualify one for the state tournament. Oakfield's state tournament hopes were smothered when the Oakleaves lost an uphill battle to Pardeeville by the score of 34 to 26. Pardeeville won the regional meet by beating Cedar Grove 28 to 21 on the next evening. Nevertheless, our team was more successful this year than in any other in our school’s history—the result of splendid teamwork and excellent coaching.

OAK LEAVES el Our Gheer headers It is very unusual for a school or student body to make much fuss over its cheer-leaders, but Oakfield High School had a trio of very unusual cheer-leaders this year. They deserve more than ordinary mention. These three girls with our basketball team made school history last winter. At the beginning of the basketball season, volunteers for cheer-leaders demonstrated their skill before the student body at assembly. Stell Leidholdt rceived the most votes and was elected cheer-leader, with Arlene Dethardt and Mary Ann De Jardin as her assistants. These girls were scared stiff when they gave their first yells, but that soon wore off. and after a lot of practice and hard work became real experts. The girls worked out clever actions to the old yells, giving them new life. They used Locomotive to advantage: demonstrated in You're Pep what the word really means; and every time they did Wiggle Waggle” the score was increased. When you’re up against Oakfield you’re upside down was one of the outstanding cheers. They received recognition wherever they went, and at the district tournament they stole the show from everybody but our team. All through the year these girls were very faithful, and hardly missed a game. It’s time we gave them a yell!!! YEA!!! [15]
