Class History Twenty-four of us timorous, green Freshmen answered roll call September 12, 1938, in Oak-field High School. Rita Halfmann, the 25th student, arrived two weeks later from VVaupun. To represent our class we elected our officers as follows: President, Mary Cook; vice president, Sam Smith; secretary and treasurer, Jeanne Leidholdt. Arlene Weber was our Student Council representative. Our class was the largest in the high school. We were industrious and eager to learn and after going to the initiation party in our nighties, we were ready for anything. The members of our class participated in many activities such as band, forensics, G.A.A., journalism, Glee Club, etc. For class colors we chose canary yellow and burnt russet. For our flower we picked the pansy, and if we hear any snickering we begin to roll up our sleeves. We decided upon “A quitter never wins and a winner never quits” as an appropriate motto. The next year we ascended one rung higher on our high school ladder, and as Sophomores we got due revenge. Roy Bahr, Francis Schar-schmidt, and Louis Schultz left our class. Marcella Schultz came to take a place in our midst. As officers of our class we elected Betty Roeske, president; Billy Guelzow, vice president; and Georgiana Doyle, secretary and treasurer. Jeanne Leidholdt brought home a trophy from the Tri-County Speaking Contest. Jim Stumpf and Billy Guelzow were on the Student Council. Jeanette Wagenknecht, Orlin Zahn, Mary Cook, Dolores Ogle, and Betty Roeske were in the band. Our Valentine Party was a great success, and this was the party that our Sophomore Seniorita brought the Senior Jakie. Our Junior year was a great success financially, scholastically, and socially. However, our number was diminished greatly when Mary Smiljanic, Hazel Synder, Irene Wendlandt. Eleanor Wiese left our group. Georgiana Doyle was elected president; Betty Roeske, vice president; and Jim Stumpf, secretary and treasurer. Our Student Council representatives were Gecrgiana Doyle, Betty Roeske, and Jim Stumpf. Georgiana Doyle and James Stumpf led our spring prom in the fairy decorated hall. Mary Cook was chosen as assistant editor of the Oakleaves and Betty Roeske was elected school treasurer and assistant Editor of the Annual. Our members continued to be active in extra curricular activities with athletics, dramatics, forensics, band, G.A.A., Boy’s Club and Journalism leading the list. The girls won the Girls’ Interclass Basketball Tournament. Our Senior year has brought us to the top Liid we get a trifle dizzy at the great height. For our class officers we elected Billy Guelzow, president; Arlene Weber, vice president; and James Stumpf, secretary and treasurer. Georgiana Doyle was elected president of the Student Council and Mary, Betty, Harold and Jeanne were our other representatives. Norman Burleton was the only member who did not return in the fall. This last year has been a happy conclusion to our high school and students will miss some of the active Senior members as much as the Seniors will miss their classmates and the high school. Our class boasts of two four year Honor Roll students, Betty Roeske and Mary Cook. The three drum majorettes, Jeanne Leidholdt, Rita Halfmann and Marcella Schultz, will be hard to replace next year. Likewise, the three cheerleaders, Jeanne, Mary and Rita will all graduate in the spring and leave a vacancy. The band shall lose eight competent, first class musicians from the Senior Class. Forensic champions, Arlene Weber, Mary Cook, Jeanne Leidholdt, and Jeannette Wagenknecht will be graduating too. Officers in the G.A.A. and the Boy’s Club will leave positions open. The Oakleaf staff shall lose its editor, Mary Cook, and other diligent newspaper workers. Billy Guelzow, Sam Smith, and Harold Smith will leave position in the athletic teams that will be difficult to fill. Tlpa. last year of our high school days has slipped by with rocket-like speed. We have attained one of our first great aims in life, our high school diploma. We are thankful for the privileges that have been ours during the last four years. May we all use our education to the fullest extent in preserving citings that have been ours. —Mary Cook. Page 5
