Our team was much handicapped by the loss of four lettermen last year. This left the team very short of experienced men. Coach Clements always put a good spirited and fighting team on the floor. Even though the boys knew the odds were against them, they never lost faith or confidence in their game or in themselves. We entered the tournament more or less for the experience we would get out of it. We met two of the toughest teams of the tournament the first two nights, and consequently lost both games. The B team's record is a bit more impressive. The ' B's'' won 1 out of 11 games this year, while the A’s lost 18 straight games. -«17U-

Although the team played only four games, they did very well for themselves. The loss of four first-string players the previous year handicapped our team greatly. The boys always put forth their greatest effort, but it was never quite enough. Our first game was with St. Mary's. This game we lost 19-6. It was followed by games with Campbellsport, Kewaskum, and Winneconne. Our games with Lomira and Brandon were forfeited because of our quarantine. This year we will lose James Powers, Gordon Gruenwald and Gordon Launders. The usual starting lineup for Oakfield was: James Powers Right End Stanley Bird Richard Jerabek Center Gordon Gruenwald Gordon Launders Fullback Merlyn Krueger Donald Fisher, Oscar Mittelstaedt, and Robert Collien also saw considerable action.

Many issues have been discussed by the council this year. Rules concerning the conduct of student in school and at school functions have undergone discussion. The student council is worthy of praise. We hope it can continue to be a vital function of Oakfield High School.
