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.
