Although our 1941 team didn’t make a very imposing record, it was about as good as was expected. The team was handicapped by the loss of Dale Burleton and Bob Bird through graduation and also because Alvin Briggs, Ray Oelke, Roland Stcinke, and Don Hill did not play. The boys always gave their best, but size was a serious handicap to them. In the first game of the season with North Fond du Lac, we were defeated 58-12. This was followed by games with Campellsport, Kewaskum, Brandon, and Lomira. The last game of the season with Lomira gave us our first and only victory. The final score was, Lomira 6, Oakfield 44. This year we will only lose Sam Smith and Billy Guelzow by graduation. This should leave an experienced squad for next year. The usual starting line-up for Oakfield was: Billy Guelzow - Senior..................Left End Sam Smith - Senior........................Center Calvin Geisthardt - Sophomore..........Right End Don Guelzow - Sophomore..............Quarterback Ray Doyle - Sophomore...................Halfback Rolland Geisthardt - Junior.............Fullback Clayton Krause, Arthur Cragoe. and Bill Rosenfeldt also saw considerable action.

Girls' Athletic Association Again this year the Girls’ Athletic Association has enjoyed another very active year under the guidance of our three Senior officers and our advisor. Miss Bartells. The membership of the G. A. A. is the largest it has ever been since it was organized five years ago. There are only two girls who are not members. Our social activities began with the initiation party, October third, which some of the new members will never forget. In the early part of the year the girls formed four teams for bowling and enjoyed many Physical Education periods at the Bowling Alley. We also played dartball for awhile but became discouraged because we were not as adept as the boys. A large percentage of the G. A. A. attended the Pavement Dance at Fond du Lac. They found that hiking about town was almost as entertaining as dancing. The highlight of the year was the Badger Bomber Dance given February 7. Each girl could invite a guest for a partner. Donations amounting to $4.00 were collected for the Wisconsin Bomber. Music was supplied by an orthophonic, and everyone enjoyed a lunch consisting of coffee and pie a la mode. A good time was had by all that were present. The girls that have earned 500 points or more and are entitled to a chenille letter are as follows: Seniors, Dolores Ogle, Jeannette Wagenknecht. Luella Hanson, Rita Halfmann, Mary Cook, Jeanne Leidholdt, Arlene Weber; Juniors, Rosemary DeJardin. One Senior girl, Betty Roeske, received a letter last year. Next year we hope the G. A. A. will be even larger and better than this year. Cheerleaders There was no need for electing new cheerleaders last fall because Mary Cook, Jeanne Leidholdt, and Rita Halfmann returned to again do their bit to produce pep here at Oakfield High School. Many new cheers were introduced and they immediately became everyone's favorite. The “ABC” yell was perhaps the best-liked. Another unsuccessful athletic year was completed, but that didn’t stop these girls from cheering all the more. This year we O. H. S. students were fortunate to have a peppery pep meeting before every game. Each class prepared a stunt for the meetings. The others were prepared by Mary, Jeanne, and Rita. The Oak's Club and G. A. A. also gave stunts. Being Seniors this year the girls will have to leave their positions to their successors, but they can rest assured that they have done their duty in bringing more pep to O. H. S. Page 17
