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.

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.

Winning three games and losing two, our 1946 team turned in a very good season. Our record placed us third in the conference behind Kewaskum and Lomira. The boys started the season off very well by defeating Brandon in a non-conference game, 12-6. This marked the first football game Oakfield won in over a year. Spirited by this victory, the team went on to defeat Campbellsport, 18-12. In our next game, which was played at Kewaskum, we tasted our first defeat, but we really let the conference champs know they were in a ball game, creeping up in the third quarter to within six points of them, but our lack of reserve strength led to our downfall. The following week we took Brandon into camp at our homecoming to the tune of 33-18. Our last game of the year was against our arch rivals, Lomira. For three quarters c fighting Oakfield team battled Lomira to a standstill, and even took a lead at the end of the third quarter, but again the lack of reserve strength led to our 47-28 defeat. Our starting lineup usually was as follows: Gerald Geisthardt........................End Richard Jerabek ......................Center Robert Collien ..........................End Merlyn Krueger ........Quarterback (Capt.) Stanley Bird .......................Halfback Donald Fisher ......................Halfback Roger Ogle, Darold Collien and Albert Vincent also saw considerable action. We also had the honor of placing Merlyn Krueger and Richard Jerabek on the second All-Conference team. Stanley Bird, Donald Fisher and Robert Collien received honorable mention. Page 12
