Donna Dethardt and Stanley Bird received A ratings. On March 23, these two competed at Kimberly. Stanley was given a B rating, and Donna, an A rating. Donna then went to Madison for the state contest on April 6, and received a C rating there.

This year, under the supervision of Mrs. Chicker and Miss Phillips, five editions of the Oakleaf were published. The Oakleaf has been in circulation for eleven years, and we all hope to keep up the fine work which has been done in the past. The Oakleaf” was published every six weeks. The reason for having only five papers this year was because the school was closed for two weeks during the polio epidemic. Everyone was so far behind with work that we didn't have time enough that six weeks to publish a paper. The Oakleaf was distributed among the students in high school and sent to neighboring high schools and rural schools. It was also sent to alumni in service in the states. Dianne Krause, as editor, and Donald Fisher, assistant editor, wish to thank the students who cooperated in helping to put out the paper. To the editors and assistants, congratulations! ★ — fl9f -

Mr. Robert Sommer, our new instructor, arrived on December 2, 1945, to take over his duties. We appreciate having this fine musician working wth us. We are now practcing the following selections: Drums and Cymbals, Victory, and Teamwork, which wil be given at the tournament at Columbus, on May 4, and at our spring concerts. - |21) -
