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) -

Miss Phillips was coach. The local contest was held on March 13, at Oakfield High School. Winners at the local contest-—Robert Wellnitz, Joan Culver, Myra Butler, Joyce Culver, Charlotte Cook, Donna Dethardt, Willis Galleske, and Stanley Bird-represented our school at the Tri-County Meet held at Kewauskum, March 19. 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. We are very proud of the showing made by our forensic students this year, and hope that next year they may go even farther. -«20 fc-

Dianne Krause, president. Arlene Pfalzgraf, secretary. Beulah Smith, treasurer. This year the Girls' Athletic Association of O. H. S. has been quite successful. Each of the 28 high school girls participated in the G. A. A. Mrs. Vellema, primary teacher, was chosen to serve as advisor. Early last fall, the new members, Joan Culver, Donna Dethardt, Marilyn Launders, Eunice Shrank, Betty Shrank, Lavelda Stafford, Olive McClain, Rona Achterberg, and Hannelore Schwichtenberg, were duly initiated into the organization. We organized bowling teams and bowled several times throughout the year. Other sports in which we took part were: baseball, dancing, basketball, skating, and volley ball. This year we organized a regular girls' basketball team, with Mr. Clements as our coach. We played Lomira and Lutheran Academy girls' teams, but our girls lost both times. The only trouble was lack of experience, so next year we're sure the girls will get much farther. --:(22b
