Pep Band This year a new organization was started in 0. H. S. It was given the title “O. H. S. Pep Band.” Its purpose was to furnish more pep for the pep meetings in a form of snappy marches. After their appearance for a pep meeting, it was thought a good idea to have the selected group play for the football games and later for basketball games. Rosemary DeJardin was chosen as director. .Everyone who has seen her direct the band knows that she was made for the position. This should help Rosemary, too, as she would School Shocking machine, boys in dresses, girls in overalls, singing, a little woo pitching, blackouts and styles are all included in the school parties. Every school party seems to take its place among the “Highlights” of the year and proves to be a social success. The year opened with a “bang” which was the traditional initiation party, sponsored by the Sophomore Class, to show the Freshmen that they were superior. Each Freshman boy was clad in girl’s dresses and the girls took the part of boys in overalls very nicely. Each one was blindfolded and taken “through the mill!” They were swell sports about it, even the shocking machine gave them a thrill. They brought their own worms to eat, but it wasn’t really that bad. The Sophies substituted spaghetti (mixed with molasses). Lunch was served to top the evening off!! The Freshmen staged a fine comeback when they gave the Sophomores a return party. Chili was served for lunch which was made by one of the Freshman girls’ mothers—she desarves the credit. Despite the size of the Junior Class, they did O.K. in putting on their party. It was after the Hustisford basketball game and the Juniors invited them to stay even though they did defeat us. Lunch was served a little differently, like to become an orchestra leader in later life. More luck to you, Rosemary. The pep band is made up of 18 grade and high school students. They are as follows: Clarinets: Jean Randall, Betty Roeske, Shirley Coon, Ethel Dille, Carol Cragoe, Beulah Smith. Flute: Art Gragoe. Cornets: Dolores Ogle, Marvin Kaufman, Bill Rosenfeldt. Alto Horn: Margaret Schoepke. Trombones: Mary Cook, Mildred Schmidt, Dale Kramer. Saxophones: Orlin Zahn, Rosemary DeJardin. Drums: Jeannette Wagenknecht, Arlene Weber. Parties but very fine. Doughnuts and coffee made up the menu. The Christmas party was given by the Seniors. The alumni from the last three years were invited. A good time was had by everyone especially the girls on serving committee who were faced with the problem of mixing chili, but everything turned out fine after a few headaches. The next day, while washing dishes, the Seniors found the chili even better than the night before. The G. A. A. sponsored a party in the form of a “Sadie Hawkins Party” this was said to be the most successful perhaps because there were all couples, and the girls did get their man. Pie a la mode and coffee was served which everyone enjoyed. Music was furnished by the ever popular “jute box.” At all the other school parties Roy Worthing’s amplifier furnished the music. The Sophomore Class gave a St. Patrick’s Day party after much discussion between the classes and faculty. Because it was a school night, the dance ended at eleven o’clock. Ice cream and cockies were served by the Sophs. This is just a summary of the school parties we took part in this year. Everyone knows what fun they were. There is usually a fine turnout and most students wouldn’t miss the chance to have oodles of fun at the school parties. Page 19

Boys The boys’ club was organized for the second consecutive year under the supervision of Mr. Heimerl for the purpose of giving the boys who don’t go out for athletics an opportunity for extra-curricular activities. Jim Stump acted as president and Orlin Zahn handled the duties of secretary and treasurer. The following boys were members of the club: Orlin Zahn, Elton Kaul, Marvin Haul, William Reents. Edward Parduhn, Bernard Ryan, Sam Smith, James Stumpf, Edgar Wellnitz, Marvin Schmidt, and Rodney Krueger. In the way of activities the boys concentrated mainly on bowling and dartball. Teams Club were formed for bowling, but no organized standings or averages were recorded. In dart-ball three teams played each other twice every week. The season was divided into two parts, twenty-two games being played in the first half. The Yankees and the Cubs battled on even terms during both parts of the season, but the mighty Yankees managed to win the first half by one game and the second half by a three game margin. The personnel of the teams and the final standings are given below. We hope that this club can be continued and the activities extended in another year. Yankees S. Smith, Mgr. J. Stumpf M. Schmidt R.

They played the Sophomores and the Freshmen and defeated them 22 to 0 and 20 to 2 respectively. Then came the exciting game between the Sophomores and Freshmen for second and third place. In this game the Freshmen were victorious for second place. Because of the lack of players the Juniors forfeited their games. The Sophomores were the champs of the boys’ tournament. There was a slight mix-up because there weren’t enough players in the Junior ( lass but they played with three rather than to forfeit. The first game was between the Freshmen and Juniors. Of course the Freshmen were favored to win but the Juniors won by the slight margin of 21 to 20. The second game was between the Sophs and Seniors, and the Sophs defeated them 24 to 14. The third game was between the losers of games one and two for third and fourth place of which the Freshmen were the winners. Then came the championship game between the Sophomores and Juniors. They were given a little competition until one of the Juniors was put out on fouls. From this time on there was no doubt who the champs would be. The Sophs won 29 to 10. Each year class tournaments are held for the enjoyment of the students and to create a better knowledge about the game of basketball. Page 18
