We later gained Frank Conger, Milo Perry and Doris Wilkinson. We lost two of our former classmates, Doris Schultz and James Powers. The athletes in our class are Arthur Cragoe, William Rosenfeldt, Roger Retzlaff and Bernard Ryan. We had great success in forensics. Betty Jane Schmitz and Arthur Cragoe came home with first prizes. Betty in Humorous declamation, and Arthur in extemporaneous speaking. Ella Mae Cook took second in serious declamation. We gave two school parties during the year, the initiation, and one following the Rosendale basketball game. Five of our members participated on the Oakleaf staff. They are as follows: Ella Mae Cook, Maxine Millar, Betty Schmitz, Betty Philipsky, and Arthur Cragoe. All in all we consider this to have been a very good year for the Sophomore class, and we intend to do even better things next year.

The boys in our class who participated in basketball and football were Donald Guelzow, Clayton Grause, Elmer Conger, Dale Kramer, James Doyle, John Kenyon and Calvin Geisthardt. We are proud of our athletes. Of our sixteen members, seven represented our class in band. Those were Shirley Coon, Clayton Krause, Alma Robbins, Margaret Schoepke, Edward Parduhn, Elvera Pfalzgraf, and Dale Kramer. All of the girls in our class are active members of the G.A.A., three of them being officers. Marvin Kaul, Marvin Schmidt, and Edward Parduhn belong to the Boys Club. A large number of the Juniors are on the “Oakleaf” staff. Esther Burri and Margaret Ryan, of the Junior Class, were elected by the student body as cheerleaders for the year, 1942-43. Our student council representatives were Margaret Ryan, Esther Burri, and Clayton Krause. Dale Kramer was the only member of our class in the forensic field. We are all equally proud of him, as he placed second in oratory. The Junior class has given one school party so far this year and is planning on a Senior dance in place of a prom. Our class on the whole has the highest scholastic average. So once again we close the doors of O. H. S. to another successful year. We hope to see you all again next fall.

Class Officers CAROL CRAGOE...........................PRESIDENT DIANNE KRAUSE VICE PRESIDENT LA VERNE KOLLMAN SECRETARY-TREASURER Motto: Not on the top, but climbing Color: Rose and Blue Flower: Rose Class History There were sixteen of us Freshmen the first time we walked into the assembly of Oakfield High School. After about two weeks, Alvin Ziegen-hagen left us to work on the farm. Then a few weeks later Vilma Oelke left us to attend Roosevelt Junior High in Fond du Lac. In the early part of October, Rosalie Perry joined the group of studious Freshmen, and we now number fifteen. We gave our first school party on Halloween as a return to the Sophs. Our next party was held on St. Patrick’s Day and although we could only dance until eleven, many thought it was the best party given so far. During the course of the basketball and football seasons we put on two pep meetings. The Freshmen are well represented in extra-curricular activities with nine out for band, four boys out for basketball, and one out for football. All of the girls are in the G. A. A. and proved their skill in basketball by winning the class tournament. We have six Freshmen on the paper staff The Freshmen are now leading in the merit system. The Freshmen came out quite well in the local forensic contest with firsts in two divisions and a second in another. We also got a third in the Tri-county contest at Rosendale. This is the history of the Freshman activities of this year, and we promise bigger and better things to come in the next three years.
