SCHOOL PARTIES We have again completed a round of successful school parties, each class giving at least one party during the year. The first party was given by the sophomores, the evening being spent in dancing. The freshman return party was the next one. A Sadie Hawkins party was given by the Library Club. Appropriately, as the name implies, the girls asked their escorts. The annual Christmas party was given by the seniors. The alumni of five years previous were invited to this party. A very enjoyable evening was had by all. The juniors gave a party in January. The school bought a radio and phonograph combination and it was used for the first time at this party. A party was given in February by the sophomores and something new was added when the boys got the lunch ready and served it. The freshmen gave a party in March. The last party of the year was given by the three classes as a farewell party for the seniors. JUNIOR PROM The setting for the 1948 Junior Prom consisted of a mass of colored balloons, confetti and crepe paper streamers. The theme these decorations suggested was Come to the Mardi Gras. The date of the prom was April 23rd and the music for this grand occasion was furnished by Wally Beau and his orchestra. The Grand March was led by the King and Queen, Gerald Geisthardt and Olive McClain, respectively. The Royal Couple made a very impressive appearance. The hall was beautifully decorated and a grand time was had by everyone. Long will this prom sponsored by the class of '49 live in our memories.

THE HOMECOMING A lot of noise could be heard on the evening of October 24. The Oakfield High School students were going down to the Village Park for the bonfire. The annual homecoming was going to be held on the following day. It was raining but the fire was started and everyone was happy—yelling and cheering. Marshmallows and pop were enjoyed by all. On the afternoon of the 25th at one o'clock the parade was held. The band led the parade up and down Main Street and down to the football field. The parade was made up of floats supplied by the high school and buggies decorated by the grades. The game started at two o'clock. The boys played good ball but Lomira defeated Oakfield 52-14. At nine o'clock in the evening, dancing began at the Liberty Hall, which was beautifully decorated in orange and black. Lenny's Melodians furnished the music, which everyone enjoyed. The crowning of the king and queen took place at 10:30. The king was Robert Collien, Captain of the football team, and the queen was Olive McClain. The Court of Honor consisted of: David Flury and Janet Willie, Dean Case and Mary Alyce Lovejoy, Beatrice Perry and Darold Collien, Douglas McLean and Lorna Fisher, Joan Culver and Gerald Geisthardt, Robert Ropp and Lavelda Stafford, Ruth Case and Joe Luttenberger, Joyce Culver and Herbert Emerson. The dance was well attended by alumni and others. or CLASS TOURNAMENTS As in previous years, the class tournaments were held at the close of the regular basketball season. In the first game the freshmen played the juniors. The juniors won, as was expected, because they had four participants on the first team. The next game was played between the seniors and sophomores with the sophomores winning. The championship game was played between the juniors and the sophomores with the juniors winning. Everyone enjoyed seeing the games and we think the boys did a fine job.
