As it always goes with all the Freshmen Classes, we were nicknamed the green freshies Fox about three weeks we waited for t’'e worst thing to come-initiation. It was well taken by all 6f us,and in return, gave a very successful Hallowe’en party. Tb represent us vTe elected the following class officers; President, Dorothv o+umpfj Vice-president, Milton ,!rood; and Secretary-Treasurer Marie Guel ow. Several students represented our class in outside activities. Dorothy tumpf, Dale Burleton, Morwin Sampson, and Robert’Bird wore our musicians. Dale Burleton, Gordon Ryan, Billy Cook,.Morwin Sampson and LeRoy Busch were our basketball players. Various students took part in Forensics, dramatics, and journalism. Dorothy Stumpf war our Student Council Representative, A very successful year we had. After a short summer vacation twenty-two students resumed their school tasks. This time it vr.s under the name of Sophomores. We elected the following class officers:Prosident, Dorothy Stumpf; Vice-president, Justine Dejurdin; Secretary-treasurer, Marie Guclzow. Miss Nolson was our advisor. Again our class displayed its talent in various activities. IJario Guclzow and LeRoy Busch were our Student Council representatives. For cnsics, journalism, and other activities again appealed to the students. At the beginning of the year we staged a very successful initiation for the Class of ’42. Donald and Dorothy Krueger, HiIfred O'Rourke, Mor in Sampson, and Vernon ’ ood left our midst during the year. Herwin Sampson transferred to Mayville, while the other students quit school. Another summer vacation and this time wo took tho name of the Junior Class. This time the following students were elected to guide us: President, Marie Guelzow; Vice-president, LaVerne Hanna; and Secretary -treasurer, Justine Dejar in. Mr. Vandehey was our advisou. Our band enrollment was still small but mighty. V.'o placed six members on the basket-ball team. Nelda Hopewell placed first in extemporaneous reading in the tri-countv and local contests. She received a plaque of which she andthe school are proud. Dorothy Stumpf. La Brae Hanna, and Jevco vder were tho menbers of the Student Council. One of tho most successful nerties cv r '•iver. bv a high school class vmis tho Gadie Hawkins nert”- riven in Novambor. On April 25 we gave t e prom ith A old Dutch C-nrden as a theme. La Verne Hanna, and Gordon Ryan were Prom Oueen r.nd Prom King, respectively. Another summer vacotioa and this time we arc the 'orior Class of 1941. rr0 have finally managed to cat the seats in V'o rear of the assembly. Several of t'-o studonts f ini shod throu- tho Junior Class but did not roturn this fall. They arc Archie Zills, Roko Sniljanic, Virgil Phelps, Lucille lose and June Buchta, Joyce Snyder transferred to Brandon, Milton 'ood also loft during the year, A newcomer, '?ar-ron Kramer, joined our class. Those are our officers: Prosidont, Mario Guclzow; Vice-president, Robert Bird; and Secretary-treasurer, Nclda Hopewell. Host of tho girls aro active members of the G.A.A. and tho officers of the asscoiation are all senior girls, . evoral good baskotball playors will bo lost through graduation. rc have four studonts onrollod in band. They are Joanotto Coon, Robert Bird, Dorothy tumpf, and !-■ rron Kramer. Due to tho prosent grading system used on report card.s, wo are not having a Valedictorian and a Salutntorian, as has boon customary in the past. Tho class decided to voto for those whom they want to represent thoir class. Gordon Ryan has boen selected to take tho place of tho Balutatorian, while Marie Guolzow t-akos tho plaoo of tho Valedictorian. Now wo aro looking forward to graduation. Our motto is Alive wire never gets stepped on . Our flower is the tea rose,and tho colors are poach and groen. Wo, tho class of 1941, hope that the classes to follow will find the years as successful as we have. Now it is time to say so long, and so long forever to Oakfield High School. Since the airplane crash in 1948, I have been going about in the form of a spirit. We spirits are allowed one week each year to visit the earth and find out about our friends. I hadn't been down to earth for three years as punishment from St. Peter for prolonging one visit a day overtime. Now I was to have another sojourn to earth. As I hadn't as yet paid any visits to classmates and it was already 1961, I thought that would be the most enjoyable visit to make. Putting my harp away I began my flight to earth. Vlhen I was within 10,000 feet of the earth, I alighted on something. After getting control of my own wings, I realized that it was upon the wing of an air plane I had landed. As I was killed in an airplane crash, one would expect me to be afraid of it, but quite to the contrary; I was curious as to the improvements in airplane during the past thirteen yearg. Going carefully over the exterior of the plane, I noticed that there was a new device on the wheels. Vfhat it was for I didn't know. After a close inspection of it, I saw on it the words-patented-April 16,1957 -patent No.109-74 by '''arren Kramer, Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Then I knew that ’’arren must be a draftsman and engineer as he always had wanted, to be. 'Jhen I looked into the windows of the plane, I almost fell out, but a few flips of my wings, and I was well balanced again. 'That made me become astounded? There in the pilots seat was LeRoy Busch,and I had thought that Busch was going to be a business man. Edging closer to the window, I could hear him speaking to the four walls. Pilot Busch-calling President Hopewell. Pilot Busch-calling President Hopewell. President Hopewell? This is test-pilot Busch. How is the reception? There was then a slight pause as Test pilot Busch listened. He had no earphone on nor did he push or pull any plugs. He then began speaking again. I've gone up 45,000feet and can still hear you. Do you get me? I'll go up another 2,000. After a few minutes he went up, received a message from Hopewell and began a descent. Endeavoring to save my energy I rode to oarth with him, and we landed in a large airport near San Francisco. That evening extras were being sold in exorbitant quantities. Radios blared news of a now invention made by the President of the United Airlines, Miss Nelda Hopewell. Then the full impact of the situation rushed in upon me, Nelda Hopewell was a scientist and the first woman to convene with those in the air. I didn't know it was the Nelda Hope-well of Oakfield, Wisconsin, because I knew that she had marriod, I found out later that she went under her maiden name only for business purposes. As there was little to find out about the 1941 graduates in San Francisco, I decided to go directly to Okfield. Oakfield had changed very little in sire. It must be destined to remain a village. This was my second dav on oarth, and I h ad already found news of three classmates, It was about four fifte-n O'clock when I flew into the drugstore. The druggist hod just filled a prescription for a customer and then wont to wait on soma of the Mph-school girls and boys at tho soda fountain. That druggist looked verv familiar, but I couldn't place him in my memory. When the 'kids' started calling him Ryan. Gordy, and V einor, I know that I had found another classmate. He wr.3 still the same laughing, joking, hoppy, Gordon Ryan. It raado mo happy to think that Gordon had made a success of himself, but it didn't surprise me, for Gordon was intelligent and had a pleasing personality, Mr. Ryan seemed a great favorite with all the kids. One boy about fifteen years of age seemed to have a special interest in him. He invited Gordon to come home with him for that night. After deliberating for a few minutes I decided that I'd risk losing some of my precious time and go along. We got into the lad's automobile and whizzed past farms until we came to one near the Campgrounds in Byron. We drove up to a farmhouse and were met by a girl of about ton years. She greeted the two men and took them into the house, I followed behind unseen. In the living rooih was a man and a woman. Gordon went right to them and said, Hi, Bob. Hello Dot,'' Sure enough. It wa n't hard to see that they were happily married, and by the appearance of their homo I know they were quite prosperous farmers. As I was quite tired, I dozed every now and then,(Yes, even snirits need sleep) but f’-om snatches of conversation, I heard LaVerne Hanna's nane mentioned in connoction with the stago. They said something About tomorrow nivht was to be tho first night on the Fond du Lac stago. I put two and two together and decided to soe -THTi 11 ir i • jBftwi' in-' iiirr“ifit X 2SS$9E for myself. . Tho third dev of my 'jisit found me on my way to Fond du Lac. As I was skirting the tops of somo troos, I hoard a familiar voice that sounded liko sonoono trying to comfort a child. Sinco there was only a little red schoolhouco in sipht, I dropped down to that. Thoro I found her, one of my best friends, trvinm to stop a child from crying. Justine used ovory way she could think of to quiet hor young .pupil. First she triod to reason with him, ’out even I, who hadn’t gone to teacher's college know that it was difficult to reason with such a small child. Then she tried to bribe him but to no avail. I would havo laughed aloud, if it hadn't been against spiritual rules, whon she took him over her knee and administered a spanking. This 3eemed to be an opportune moment for my departure,and I left with tho child's wills ringing in my ears. Arriving in Fond du Lac I wont to the theatre immediately. In big letters I saw the nomo-Snlly Brown. I overheard one nan say--------Yes , 3he's really LaVcrnc Hanna, and her homo town is Oakfield. Most people know her by her screen nano-Sally Brown, Perched on the rail in the balcony I saw LaVorue porform. She had reached stardom through her dancing and was now tho dancing star of tho picture. During tho sport flashes I found out what bad happened to Dale Bur-loton. His was an athletic career. There on the screen was a picture of Dalo as ho was catching a 'fly ball' in left field while ploying with the New York Yankees. I was certainly glad to know that he was in the work he enjoyed the most. For two days after this I couldn't find out what had happened to Jeanette Coon and Billy Cook. Thoy were the only two unaccounted for. I received no satisfaction about them in Oakfield oo I traveled on. I went south to Florida and Texas, and still thore was no news. I only had one day left, what was I to do? Tho day was hot, and I became very warm and stopped at a roadside cafe. To my joy I found Jeanette Coon. Her husband was proprietor of the cafe. Jeanette was busy baking the home-ma'-’e pies that be sold to his customers. Fven though it would got me in to trouble with the saints,I couldn't resist playing a joko on Jeanette. She was cutting the pics into wedges, and I picked one pie and. started off wits it, Becauso s e couldn’t soe me,she thought the pie was bewitchod for 1ts being able to move without help, 'ith hor hands above hor head she r n '■creaming from t o kitchon. I’ve been wondo' in if Joanette over wont back to hor kitchen. There was no more time for me on the earth. I was duo back homo at nine O'clock. Hy trip hod boor, vory satisfactory except for my not boing able to find. Billy Cook. I put on all my speed, for ny trip was drawing to a close. It was exactly throe minutes before nine as I flew into St. Peter’s door. He said thore was someone now in hoaven who said ho know mo. Ho wn3 waiting in tho next room. I walked in .and someono said,iP7oll son of-a-gunj You did got to hoavon. I'll be darned. And I ma.do it too in spite of everyono's saying that I wouldn't'.' I took another look and recognized Bill Cook. Yup , he sa.id, ;,I was in Boston demonstrating my now species of horses and the blame thing kicked me up hero.

Very contrary to the custom, r-e defied on e and all (so the teachers tell us , ,,Te were a bit frightened of the iniation, but we came through with colors flying. The sophomores found us qu'te a tough bunch to deal with, but we vope t'-ey'll forgive us now. Since then we have given two parties ourselves. The upper classmen said they enjoyed them, and we hope they weren't just being nice. When we stared school we were twenty-three. We lost Lillian Wei-mer and Lucille Teachout when they moved to Fond Du Lac, so we now havo twenty-one members in our class. Among the members of our class are seven athletics, and dont think we're not proud of them. They are Raymond Oelke, Leonard Buell, Raymond Doyle, Donald Guelzow, Dale Kramer, James Doyle and Calvin Geis-thardt. We are also proud of Solon Bartz, the manager of the basketball team. The freshmen represented in the band by Shirley Coon, Margaret Schoepke, Jean Mary Randall, Dale Kramer, Edward Parduhn, Clayton Krause, Elvera Pfalzgraf and James Doyle. This seems to us to be guite a good representation of the class. Our freshmen year is coming to a close and we are looking forward to our sophomore year with groat eagerness. VTe hope we improved considerably in this our first year. May each succeeding year see us more nearly fulfilling our motto—''Let us be known by our deeds?

Mien we stop to consider the continually successful teams that our shcool has had over a period of eleven or twelve years, however, it is only to be expected that a school of our size must encounter some lean years. The main difficulty this year can be attributed to lack ofexpcriencod material, and ineligibility of several boys who could have been a big help to us. Dale Burloton, with several years of experience, Gordon Ryan, with one year of experience and Billy Guelzow who had had no experience before this season were the mainstays of the team. Oelke, Cook, Bird, and Buell were the other boys who saw considerable action. Of thoso,' Dale Burleton, Gordon Ryan, Billy Cook and Bob Bird are graduating. The B” team played a number of games during tho season and Coach Y'ndehey is hoping that some of thoso younger boys will conethrough with surprises next year. In spite of the fact that our season was rathor discouraMng from th o standpoint of winning games, our Coach alrnvg put a fighting team on tho floor end our cheering socti-n kept up its loyal support and enthusiasm through out tho soason. Lot’s hr� po that Lady Luck docides to stop around for a helping hand again next yoar.

The team's blocking and tacklin'? was much bet er t an had been expected. Their offense was brilliant at times and s ow d distinct weaknesses at other times. The Oakleaves emerged victorious by a score of 19-0 in what proved to be t e only victor” of t e season. Oakfield t’-er. prepared for an InvaniOn of the powerful railroaders from North Fondv, The rails rot off to a good start throughout f’e first half. In the second half the Oaks tightened their defenses and the North Fondy bovs had to be content with about half as many touchdowns as in the first half. In the fourth quarter the Rails kicked off to Bob Bird, the quarterback, who with beautiful blocking from the rest of the team, scored Oakfield's lone tally. Final score—58-6. A week later Campbellsport came to pay Oakfield a visit. The Belles powerful sextet gave the Oakleaves one of the worst beatings of the soason in a rough and tumble affair. Efele Burleton was Oakfield' s mainstay and prevented a larger scoiv. After a fight to the finish Campbellsport loft with a 53-0 victory. Next came Brandon. During the first half Oakfield fought the Cardinals on equal terms until with ten seconds left Brandon completed a pass for a touchdown to end the half 14-6 in their favor. The local boys continued to hold in the t’-ird quarter, but in the final period our boys wore tired and 3randon scored 26 points to win 40-6. In the last game of tho season Oakfield invaded Tewaskum. During the first half our boys placed some of their poorest football of th b soason. They made a few errors that netted the Indians 24 points. After a little pep talk between halves, the boys decided to redeem themselves during, tho second half. Better tackling, blocking and running was executed during the last half then at any provious time during the season. Oakfield completed passes which gave them 12 points, while Kowaskum was scoring 18 points to make the final score 42-12. In spite of the fact that our bo,rs won but one game, the players and the students onioned the now game for our school vcr,r much. Prospects for the future of football are wood with all but two bo,rs returning next vear. As the '•ame gains a bettor foot sold and the bO”S learn t' o fundamentals t rt'irogvl”, we can look a' ead to some mnd entertainment and no.nsibl'r a championship sometime in the future. Wo want to un tribute to t’ e o out tend'ny pla”ors of t' is year's team, namol”, Bob Bird and Dale Bnrloton. Bob, the quarterback, showed his love for t’ o -ame b” his pas i- r� hard running, deadl” blocking and a never die spirit. Dale was t'o outstanding tackier, caught many passes, and did some fine one fiold running. These bo s will ccrtain-1- be missed, but v o are optimistic about t’ e coming season nevertheless. In closing, here's a pat on the back for our coach, Mr. Vandohey, whose untiring efforts and knowledge of the game was appreciation by Oakfield High School 3tudonts. He never lo3t his gamencss in the face of overwhelming odds. •• CLASS TCtJHHAISt'TT The inter-class tournament conducted anunlly after the closo ofthe basketball seasoned produced a real upsot when the Fre' hmon bovscane through to win the championship for the .first time in the history of the tournament. The Freshiec surprised tho Juniors in the first round by a 13 to 9 score and thon came to show their stuff by trouncin'? tho Seniors 24 to 13 in the championship game. After losing to the Freshmen, tho Juniors dofoatod the Sophomores 13 to 9 to win third place. In the girls touraamont the highly favored Juniors took tho championship by crushing tho Sophomores 35 to 6 in tho first game and trimming tho Freshmen 28 to 10 in tho championship game, Tho Soniors for— felted to tho Froshncn in the first round, and then also forfeited to the Sophomores for third place. TABLE TI.IJNI3 TOURMAI .ENT In tho second annual all-school table'tennis tcurn'Jior.tr- conducted earl3r in March, the beys were again divided into two groups, tho major and the minor according to experience and ability. The results in tho major division, consisting of sixteen of the more seasoned players, wore as follows; First place-—Farold Smith Third place--William C-uelzow Second place—-Leonard Buell Fourth placo—-Donald Guolvow The results in the minor division, which consisted of ten boys were as follows: First place---Clayton Krause Third place--------Karvin Schmidt Second place—Marvin Kaul Fourth place—Albert Anderson Tho winner of tho'mjo division can, no d- ubt; bo considered the champion of tho school, and that hon r therefore roes to Harold Smith .

CHEERLEADERS Left to right — Jeanne Leidholdt, Rita Halfmann, Hary Cook G.A,A. Ah, what funj For the last four years the girls of Oakfield High have found their entertainment in the G.A.A. Although the G.A.A. has been organized for four ’-ears,there has not been a lull or dull moment. This year was an exceptional year, because nearly all of the girls of Oakfield High are members of this organisation. The weekly gym periods proved quite successful. It seems os if the n-irls of the Junior class have the most athletic ability. Some of the girls played on the city basketball team. Vo1ley ball also was well liked. Socially the G.A.A.was ver'i progress've by giving a party each month. Some of the parties are still remembered, especially the one to which each girl brought a guest. The roller skating parties „ere enjoyed by everyone (even though we took a great number of falls). A sport that seems to be taking the lead at O.H.S. is bowling. He also had bowling parties and parties at school. 4t present the girls are earning points and yearning to play soft-ball. Last fall we elected Justine Dejardin os President; Marie Guelzow, Secretary and Nelda Hopewell, Treasurer. We made Miss Milliccnt Nelson and Miss Abelmnnn honorary mombers of the association. The progress of the G.A.A. this year is due to the leadership and cooperation of Miss Millor, our advisor. Our hats are off to ou, Hiss Miller, and we ' 11 all be waiting for your advice next fall, And now till next year, we’ll all be waiting for the fifth big year of the G.A.A. Basketball, volleyball, soxtball, bowling and skating will top the list of sports for the girls. CHEERLEADERS A peppy, enthusiastic, loyal trio of cheerleaders represented Oakfield during the past season. Jean and ary returning form last year, with the assistance of Rita, practiced diligently. The flashy jumpers and blouses surely were an asset to the girls' appearance. Although our basketball and football teams didn't always bring home the bacon, they always had the loyal support and backing of these girls. They were present at overy game yelling at’the top of their voices. Their actions also proved quite entertaining. Next year wo will havo our trio of vitality returning. Our hats are off to Rita, Mary, and Jean and more pop to them for the coming school year. Back-Left to right-A. Briggs, S. Coon, E. Parduhn, R. Bird, r'. Rosen-feldt, M. Efenyon, G.

The Oakfield High School Band which contains forty-one members is now in its fourth year. Mr. Kaiser is director of our band and Jeanne Leidholdt is drum majorette. Last year our band placed first in both concert and marching at Oshkosh. Because we want to continue to continue to be a first olace winner, the band has been greatly improved this year, Jennno, our drum majorette has purchasod a now white uniform which is trimmed woth gold. She also has high white boots. This year Dolores Gcllesko has been made junior baton twirller. Her uniform is just like Joanne's. Rita Halfmann and Marcella Schultz have come into the band as baton twirllers. Their uniforms are white with purple trimmings. The band paronts association purchased new hats for the two twirllers. Because our band has been enlarged, additional cap3 and capes have also been purchasod, A series of programs was again spon- sored to raise money for the band fund, This year programs were very good, among them being a play Kama's Little Baby Boy' given by the Commercial College and a movie ■'Make a Wish1' starring Bobby Breen. Last summer we played at the St. Luke's Lutheran church picnic, Oakfield's Centennial' on August 18th, and for eight public band concerts on Main Street, This year the band gave its fourth annual Christmas concert on December 18th. Ho gave a program at St, Ifory's Spring Academy on the afternoon of February 21st. Tc are now preparing I for the joint band concert with the Lomira band at Lom±ra, our Commencement program, and for the music festival. Oh March 22nd six members of the band went to Ripon to represent the Oakfield Band as soloists. They were: Arthur Cragoe, flute solo; who placed third, Carol Cragoe, Piano solo, Jean Mary Randall, clarinet solo; Margaret Schoepke, alto horn solo, Dorothy V achendorf trombohe solo, and Rosemary Dejardin, baritone solo, who all placed second. This year all of the soloists ' foere in one class and were placed in first, second, or third division. V'e aro very proud of these members because they placed against pupils from larger schools whohave had more musical experience. This year the Annual L'isocnsin Music Festival will be held in Ripofi. On this day about 35 bands from a largo surrounding territory compete, against each other. The bands are classed in different divisions according to the number of times a week they have band practice. The divisions are Class A, B, C, and D. Oakfield is in Class D. This festival will be held'on the 10th of Isay. The band is required to play three selections. Mr, Kaiser has chosen Cdncord as the warming up number. Little Monster as the required number and Rosmarin as the selective one. For marching the band h as memorized Concord march.

Volume VI of the Oakleaf prospered as it progressed through the 1940-41 school year. By making a welcome, though rushed, visit every five weeks, it kept the students informed on most items of interest such as sports, parties, activities and choice bits about the ''high-school Punks . The staff of the Oakleaf was selected in the same manner as other years. The Student Council voted Marie Guelzow to continue her position of editor-in-chief. She, with her advisor, selected ilary Cook as her assistant. Hiss Miller, th e advisor, Marie uelzowjtho editor, and Mary Cook, tho assistant editor selected a staff from the many applications sent to then. After tho first edition was published, the paper ran smoothly over • its course, for the ’rough spots’ were ironed out and the staff be came more and more experienced. 6 n � ?

They started their term by sending two representatives, Dorothy achcndor? and Justine Dejardin to I.ad-ison to attend the Wisconsin Student Council Convention, October 18 and 19. After hearing the girls report, the council decided it might bo a good idea to start a council fund and send representatives every year. Most likely, the one thing for which tho Council will be the most ro membered is the adopting of the Student Activity ticket. The ticket was beneficial to the students and tho activity fund. That it Went over big” with tho students was shown by the att cndance at basketball games and more notable, the attendance of high school students at the Prom. Everyone feels that the ticket has d6ne much t'' promote school spirit. Considering the ticket cost only ' 1.50, everyone came out ahead. The council also had its social aspect. Tho members enjoyed an outdoor meeting on tho lodp-o in tho fall and a lorn meeting, with lunch this spring at which time the honor roll system, school awards and the other items were discussed. Good luck for a successful Council in ’42. FORENSICS Oakfield High was very successful in forensics this year despite tho interruption and delay caused by Hiss Nolson's leaving. Tho forensics team under tho guidance of Kiss Abolmann came through with flying colors. Thirteen students participated in the local contest. They were as follows: Mario Guelzow, Rita Ealfmann and Arlone ober in Humorous Declamation; Georgiann Doyle, ifc.ry Cook, Botty Roeske and Jean Mary Randall in Serious Declamation; Nolda Hopewell, Dorothy Wachondorf, Rosemary Dofardin and Alvin Brigcs in Extemporaneous Reading; Mary Cook in Extorapomneous Speaking: and '■'ardon Rvnn and barren Kramer in Oratory, The win'ors of the local con tost w’ a repress ted O.F.S. at North Fond du Lac in t' e Loanee Contest were, Nolda one-ell, Alvin Briggs, Marie Ouclzcw, Jean Mary Rondo-11, !Tnrw Cook, Gordon Ryan, and Warren Kramer.

Director Kiss Kae Nelson was to choose the play cast for the fttll play. Laughing Gas. TVwmm-rv Daiardin took the part of Mrs. Merlino, the Italian landlady, in whose apartment all of the excitement took place. Jean Leldholdt. as Penny ' Thitman, took the feminine lead. Vivian Penny’s sister was taken by Rita Halfmann. Miss Amy Whitman. Arlene Heber. had a time to keep her rwo ydung nieces in her sight. Olga, the Swedish maid played by Dorothy HcKnight turned out to be a dectective, and added hunor and excitement to the play. Kitty Doe, a chorus girl, Nary Cook. ?ot her man just before the license expired. Billy Cook played the part of Ambrose Rosenbloom, a dumb 'copper' who was the apple of Kitty's eye and who captured some international jewel robbers. Donald Guel ow took thS part of Chris Wynn, a story writer, who helped capture the crooks. Jean Mary Randall, as Flavia Winterspear, played the part of a poet and in the end a crook. She was assisted by Lowell Horning, as Paul Van Doren, tho other crook. Gordon Ryan, as Judge Helen put the finishing touches on the play by performing the marriage coromony. JUMPING JEWELS Because Miss Abelmnnn's time was well taken up by the forensics Mr. Hoimerl decicded to have Miss Hiller and Kiss KillicentNolson direct the Senior class play. This arrangement worked out very satisfactorily. Miss Miller and Kiss Nelson selected a play that included every Sonior in its east-----Jumping Jewels. Robert Bird did a good job of Characterizing Alan Scott, an easy going, agreeable proprietor of a country hotel; as did Justine Dejar-din in her roll as Ethel Scott, his wife. Marie Guelzow, as Lucy Scott, and Nelda Hopewell, as Diana Griswold, held the feminine loads and really 'lived' the parts. Dale Burleton known as Ritchie Griswold in the play added a touch of romance with his love making to Lucy. When Gordon Ryan taking the part of Burke Stacy who was in love with Diana, arrivod at the hotel, things really happened. Notes were mixed between the lovers by the carelessness on tho part of the maid, Doro-thy Stumpf as Fanny, and a jumble of events occured. Fanny’s boyfriend, Patrick O'Leary, portrayed by Billy Cook, holped doiivor messages and transport guests of the hotel in his village taxicab. His efforts to win Fanny kept tho audience supplied with plentyof laughs. Mr, Griswold, the rich neighbor whose life's pearls had been stolen was played by LeRoy Busch. In the end it ms found that Jeanette Coon otherwise Miss Parson, was the a c corral ice of the man who stole the m • ea 1 O . jaN.-P pearls, Linda Rogers and Itaoley Castle, La Verne Hanna and :7arren Km— mer respectively wore the conpotitors in buying an antique portrait . The play ended in a comic scene of Patrick O'Leary and Fanny 'finding eaoh other’. Congratulations to the Senior class and to the coaches Miss Nelson and Kiss Miller for ’putting ii over’. SCHOOL PARTIES The first school party of the year was the usual initiation or welcome party for the Freshmen, They were asked to come dressed in gunny sacks. To prove tho Freshios wero good sports and could really take it, they gave a return party for tho Sophomores. Hallowe'en novelties furnished the docoirtion. A Thanksgiving and Sadie Hawkins party were combined. Hie girls took the parts of tho boys in asking for dates, dances, and so forth. The alumni from three years back were invited to the Sonior’s Christmas party, Ne were glad to see them bock. A Valentino party was given on Valentines Day,and a large Valentine box was tho big attraction. A spocial party was given on Monday, February 24 in honor of Miss Nelson to 3how how sorry wo wore to have her leave us. A St. Patrick’s party was supposed to be given but was postponed until after Lont bocause of tho severe weather. The biggest event is tho Junior Prom with its theme Over the Rainbow . A farewell party for tho Seniors will bo tho lost party for tha school year. Our parties havo boon a groat success and many mere students attend them this veor than in previous ears. At the parties tho evening was spent mostly in dancing. Few games were played and usually a lunch was served. Roy berthing’s amplifying system furnished us with the music. JUNIOR FROM Hay 1st Was tho - date for tho annual spring promenade. V ith tho theme ’Somewhere Over the Rainbow the Juniors transformed the Liberty Hall into a fairy land. . Colored lights which filtered through a coiling of balloons created a soft misty atmosphere in tho hall end the shadows of the silver spider webs on the wall added further to the nagic l surroundings. A huge glistening rainbow arched its way across tho top of the stage. At one end of the rainbow tho mythical pot of gold was found gloamin under a f-oldon spotlight, A beautiful blue fairy icopt watch at the other end. Dancers glided smoothly over the floor to tho rhythm of Johnny Nugent and his orchestra. King.James Stunpf and Queen Goorgiana Doyle led the Grand March about th® ’fairy hall’ in fine manner, fH DC.EH aCCWUC 1. The first day of school.
