2?aper Staff Back row, left to right: Mary Achterberg, Joseph Luttenberger, Richard Jerabek, Robert Collien, Gerald Geisthardt. Center row: Charlotte Cook, Betty Lovejoy, Olive McClain, Ruth Case, Myra Butler, Joyce Culver, Willis Galleske, Shirley Kaul. Front row: Miss Phillips, Lavelda Stafford, Joan Culver, Donna Dethardt, Stanley Bird, Carita Ogle, Deloris Galleske, Douglas McLean. Af the start of the school year the student body elected Stanley Bird as editor of the school paper and Carita Ogle as assistant editor. In previous years it was customary to elect only an assisting editor at the start of the school year, but circumstances necessitated a deviation from the normal procedure. Inasmuch as the staff was comprised of a large number of new members, it took some time for the staff to become acclimated to its work, but after the first publication, the work became easier and more effectively performed. The following personnel comprised the paper staff during the year: Editor ........................................................Stanley Bird Assistant Editor ..............................................Carita Ogle Reporters......Dick Jerabek, Joyce Culver, Joan Culver, Deloris Galleske Art Editors ..............................Olive McClain, Douglas McLean Society Editor .............................................Lavelda Stafford Humorous Editors .........................Willis Galleske, Joe Luttenberger Sport Editors ............................Gerald Geisthardt, Robert Collien Typists .......................................................Betty Lovejoy Ruth Case, Joyce Culver, Donna Dethardt, Eunice Schrank Circulation Managers .....................Willis Galleske, Lavelda Stafford Advisor .......................................................Miss Phillips Page 17

Chorus Bock row, left to right: Mary Powers, Olive McClain, Carita Ogle, Ruth Case, Joyce Culver, Myra Butler, Shirley Kaul, Mary Achterberg. Middle row: Delore Redmann, Betty Lovejoy, Rona Acterberg, Eunice Schrank, Charlotte Cook, Lavelcb Stafford, Donna Dethardt, Joan Culver. Front row: Mr. Kendall, Marilyn Laundes, Mathilda Turner, Gloria Heimerl, Beatrice Perry, Betty Schrank, Deloris Galleske, brna Fisher. This is the third year that Oakfield High School has had a chorus and judging from the performance of the chorus this year a great deal of progress has been made within such a relatively short period of time. While the group was small, twenty-three in number, the qualify of their work adequately supplanted the lack of numbers. Aside from the group-singing, the vocal duets of Donna De'hardt and Gloria Heimerl, and the vocal solos of Joyce Culver were generally featured. Our chorus was under the excellent direction of Mr. Kendall. The Chorus entered the Musical Festival at Beaver Dam, May 9th, and performed very well. Page 16

forensics Back row, left to right: Charlotte Cook, Olive McClain, Betty Lovejoy, Stanley Bird, Ruth Case, Willis Galleske, Joyce Culver, Myra Butler. Front row: Miss Phillips, Lavelda Stafford, Carita Ogle, Mathilda Turner, Joan Culver, Donna Dethardt, Douglas McLean, Eunice Schrank. This year we had fifteen members of the high school out for forensics. The local contest was held in the high school assembly on March 7, 1947. The judge was Mr. Kranzelberger of Waupun High School. In the local contest we had two orators, Willis Galleske and Ruth Case. Among the four humorous declaimers were: Charlotte Cook, Olive McClain, Lavelda Stafford, and Mathilda Turner. Stanley Bird represented us again in extemporaneous speaking. The extemporaneous readers were: Eunice Schrank, Douglas McLean, Donna Dethardt, and Myra Butler. There were four contestants in the serious declamations. They were: Joan Culver, Carita Ogle, Betty Lovejoy and Myra Butler. Of the above participants Willis Galleske, Stanley Bird, Myra Butler, Donna Dethardt and Lavelda Stafford received A ratings, and represented our school at the league contest at Campbellsport on March 12th. Donna Dethardt received an A rating a Campbellsport and went to Kimberly, where she received a B rating. We are losing two members who have always taken part in forensics and who will be hard to replace next year. Willis Galleske and Stanley Bird will graduate this year. Forensics is definitely a very fine and worth-while activity and we are in hopes that next year a larger representation will be participating from the Freshman and Sophomore classes.
