Since that time we have lost three of our members. They were Ernest Fude, Betty All, and Paul Mittelstaedt. It was rather difficult the first couple of days but with the help of the supper classes we were soon made to feel at home. D. Collien, D. Parduhn, A. Culver, L. Reiser, D. McLean, and M. Chadwick represented us in football and basketball while D. Parduhn and M. Turner are our Student Council representatives. We also had two students competing in the field of forensics. D. Galleske is our class reporter on the Oak Leaf staff. We feel that we have been well represented in all extra curricular activities this year and look forward to next year when we shall enter as sophomores.

The experience was somewhat different from last year as we had one year of school under our belt. During the course of the year we lost Ada line Robbins from our ranks. Our class was well represented in all sports and activities. G. Geisthardt, R. Collien, A. Vincent, F. Wagenkneckt, L. Collien, and A. Reetz were out to represent us in football and basketball. G. Geisthardt, R. Collien were on our first team in both sports. J. Culver and D. Dethart are cheerleaders from our class, while R. Collien and @. Geisthardt are our Student Council representatives. We are well represented in the band and most of the girls are in the Library Club. We also had a large number of our class on the paper staff and many participated in forensics. We have also taken part in many other activities. We have completed our second year at O. H. S. and are looking forward to next year when we will become Juniors.

Improvement and promise were the two leading contributions by our 1947-48 squad. While we had a losing season, the boys showed that they were on the road to basketball victories once again. We started our season very well, defeating Fox Lake in a non-conference game, 30-28. This marked the first basketball victory in a year. We ended our season with a rousing 33-31 upset victory over the Mighty Lomira Lions. The victory was a sweet revenge for our close football defeat. It can be said that the boys played very interesting ball all season. We lost many close games due to a lack of reserve strength. Our conference games with Rosendale, Campbellsport, and Brandon were very close games. Although we lost them we did lead all of the games until the last few minutes of play, a case of needed experience and lack of poise. We had the honor of placing our fine sophomore center, Robert Collien, on the Second All-Conference team. Stanley Bird also received honorable mention.
