Class ttistcixj September 3, 1945 was a beautiful day, but twenty-one horrified freshmen didn't know it because we were going to start our high school careers. During our first meeting as a class we elected; Joan Culver, President, Donna Dethardt, Vice President, Lavelda Stafford, Secretary, and Robert Collien, Treasurer. Most of the boys went out for football with Jerry and Bob C. both earning their major O's. Basketball held our attention with Bob and Stretch Geisthardt again winning awards. Donna and Joan were elected cheerleaders. Loretta Myers was our first member to drop out. Miss Phillips was our class advisor. The Fall of 1946, found us to be a class of twenty over ripe Freshmen. Robert C., Lavelda and Donna were our Class officers for the year. Our initiation party was one of the best we feel, as the poor freshmen sure took it hard. Robert C., Jerry and Albert won Football Awards. Donna did fine in Forensics, receiving a B” in the District Contest at Kimberly. Our Junior Prom was easily the biggest event in our history to date. Wally Beau and his Orchestra furnished the music, and a huge crowd enjoyed our prom. Gerald Geisthardt and Olive McClain reigned as our royal couple, and a pretty picture they did make. Mr. Droegkamp was our advisor. And now we have September 1948 and we are Seniors. Hard to believe but it is true. At our first meeting the following officers were elected, Lavelda, Arland and Donna. Bob Ropp was editor of the Oakleaves and Donna was editor of our yearbook. Bob C. and Jerry won their 8th athletic letter apiece, a record for our school. Joan and Donna finished their fourth year as Cheerleaders. We are waiting for that wonderful 27th of May. We the class of nineteen hundred and forty-nine of Oakfield High School, Oakfield, Wisconsin, being of sound mind and body, hereby declare this to be our last will and testament. We leave: To the class of '50 our ability to get away with things in the back of the room. To the class of '51 our ability to produce a financially successful prom. To the class of '52 our ability to get our school work done. As individuals we wish to dispose of our personal belongings as Class Will follows: —7— Class Will - - cont. Joan Culver wills her blush to Eloise Boevers. Lavelda Stafford leaves her ability to hold many offices to Tillie Turner. Donna Dethardt leaves her ability of being head cheerleader to Pat Bloohm. The members of the basketball team leave their abilities to the freshman boys. Eunice Schrank leaves her ability to get high marks to Marjorie Barton. Clair Zimmerman leaves his ability to get to school one minute before nine to Robert Cook. Olive McClain wills her good humor to Alice Stafford. Robert Collien leaves his ability to flirt with the girls to Dean Case. To those we left out, sweet memories of O. H. S. Signed, Sealed and Delivered this 12th day of March, 1949. We declare this document to be our last will and testament. Witnessed by Signed: Lee Taylor Robert Collien Naomi Heimerl Donna Dethardt ★ Jen [feats in tlte I, Lavelda, had just arrived in Fond du Lac from my home in Florida. After trying to hail a taxi and not succeeding, I started walking. As I was walking past the hospital I began to wonder if Olive, my old girlfriend had finished her nursing school and whether or not she is nursing now. Just then a couple nurses came out and to my complete surprise one of them was Olive. We talked for over an hour (which wasn't unusual) when Olive came up with the idea of a class reunion. We decided the new Oakfield High School's gym would be the ideal place to have it. The big day finally arrived. After the banquet dinner each old classmate got up and told what he had done since graduation in ''49.'' Glass P'to ltecxj - - cont. As we were going alphabetically, we started with the Collien boys, Lyle and Bob. Lyle told us he was going around the country winning motorcycle races. Robert Collien said he enjoyed beautiful girls so much he became a movie scout. We heard from Joan and found that after she left nursing school she married an alumnus of Oakfield and settled down. Donna proved her success by playing a selection on the piano. Next we heard from Jerry Geisthardt who became a professional baseball player and by the way, is still good looking. Marilyn Launders says she is happily married to a wonderful man. Dave Messner has taken over his dad's farm and getting along quite well. Next it was Olive's turn and she told them she was nursing and enjoying it. Arland Reetz told how he and Clair Zimmerman went into a partnership and started a garage business and are kept busy. Bob Ropp is a minister in Fond du Lac and is married to the girl of his heart. Keith Russell decided to become a farmer and likes it. Betty Schrank is an athletic director at the University of Wisconsin. Eunice Schrank is enjoying her work as a secretary to Henry Ford III. I (Lavelda) told them I am doing well as a chemistry teacher. Albert Vincent managed to get a furlough for this reunion, and said he is an officer in the Marines. Foster Wagen-knecht, our ham actor” is doing well as a comedian on the radio and screen. This brings to a close our grand reunion. Even if I do say so myself, I think we have a wonderful class, and we should be proud. Class Play Spring Fever the three act comeay oy Ray Hodges was presented at Liberty Hall by the Senior class on Friday evening. The play was chosen due to its adaptability to young actors. Robert Collien as the leading man was seen in this splendid comedy role. Playing opposite him was Donna Dethardt. Joan Culver, Albert Vincent, and Gerald Geisthardt also contributed to. the mirth in splendid comedy parts. Other members of our class took care of the extras for the play. Mrs. Buehner was our director. —9— |uwiot Ptom This year the junior class had the honor of naming two all-around students as our king and queen. The queen was none other than the smallest girl in the class. She was every student's choice. She has long brown hair, pretty brown eyes and a dark complexion. She is about five feet two inches tall. As for her personality none can be better for she is everyone's friend. Put all this together and you will find Lorna Fisher. The king, an active boy in all the school affairs, has dark blond hair and blue eyes, that all the girls think are beautiful. He is five feet eight inches tall. He participated in basketball, football, baseball, and all the other sports carried on in school. He was president of the freshman class and he did a good job. He can be depended on to carry out an assignment. When these outstanding characteristics are put together we have Darold Collien. ★ ★ ★ Zoyaltij This year we had Tony Winters for our orchestra. After thinking about a prom theme for quite awhile we decided to have ''April Showers.'' Clouds, bluebirds, daffodils, violets, and a rainbow made up most of the decorations. Tinsel paper was used as rain. The ceiling consisted of blue crepe paper. Everything was made up to represent spring. All in all this prom marked another successful event on the part of the junior class of Oakfield High School. —10— BACK: D. Panduhn L. Reiser, D. Collien, M. Chadwick, J. Rhode, D. McLean, A.

The prom was our big event, we have decided on Tony Winters, with April Showers as our theme. Two of our boys, Darold and Art, received All-Conference mention in football and we are mighty proud of them.

Later, two members joined us and then our class had eighteen members. We lways remember that first year. Then, in September, 1948, we united once again, now the sophomores of Oakfield High School. One of our classmates, David Flury, joined the class later in the year. Our class still numbers eighteen, however, for Gordon Kaufman joined us this September. Our Student Council representatives are Joyce Michaels and Paul Stoppleworth. Joyce Michaels and Naomi Heimerl were cheerleaders, and V vjy d alie Haberkorn was class reporter for the Oak-leaf Staff.

The first few days we had a little difficulty, but with the help of the faculty and student body we caught on to the new ways of high School. Six of the freshmen boys have represented us in basketball and football. They are G. Ogle, L. Taylor, L. Bierne, D. Philipsky, L. Franke, and D. Jerabek. Patricia Bloom is a cheerleader for the B team. We feel we had a good start and hope the class of 1952 is a real credit to O. H. S. ★ ★ ★ —13— A third place tie with Campbellsport was the reward of our 1948 team. The keynote of the team seemed to be adhesive tape, red hot, guaze and liniment. You guessed it—we had injuries. Kewaskum started our season by handing us a 46-18 defeat. Oakfield bounced back the next week by trouncing Brandon 42-12. Eyeing an upset win over Lomira was our next goal, but Sterr and Company had different ideas and we lost 30-6. Dogfight, courage and determination led us to defeat Hustisford 36-27 in a non-conference game. Campbellsport invaded Oakland for our Homecoming. A 12 to 12 tie was the best we could do. We will lose eight seniors and no doubt those seniors will be missed. Gerald Geisthardt, tall senior was elected honorary captain. The following Oaks were placed on the Second All-Conference Football Team, Darold Collien, Robert Collien, Art Culver, Gerald Geisthardt.. and Gordon Kaufman. ★ ★ ★ —14— N. Heimerl, J. Michaels, D. Dethardt, J. Culver. The customary election of cheerleaders was held in time for the first football game. As only one group, consisting of Donna Dethardt, Joan Culver, Naomi Heimerl and Joyce Michaels, tried out they were automatically elected. Of this group Donna, Joan and Naomi were cheerleaders last year. Thanks to this group the enthusiasm and pep of our school rose to great heights during the year. It didn t matter if the team was winning or losing this little group was there to lead the cheers to keep the team going. This is the last year for Donna and Joan, who have been cheerleaders for four years, which will leave the ranks open to newcomers next year. The cheerleaders of this year can be assured that the school feels that they did their part in keeping up the pep of Oakfield High School. H, omecominj Nineteen Forty-Eight marked our third annual Homecoming. The festivities were started Thursday night, October 28, with a pep rally up at school, hotdogs and pop were served. Speeches were given by Coach Kirchen and Mr. Droegkamp. The annual parade was staged the next morning. It was truly in line with the best traditions of Oakfield. Each grade, class and club in school was represented with a float, of course our fine band led the parade. In the afternoon the ''Oaks'' and ''Bells'' battled to a 12-12 tie before a fine homecoming crowd. The game was marked by hard play on both sides. Former Football Greats'' was the Theme of the Homecoming Hop in the evening. A huge throng danced to the Music of A1 Berger and his orchestra. The highlights of the evening came with the crowning of Naomi Heimerl and Darold Collien as Queen and King. This year the Queen picked the King and it worked out fine. The Royal Couple reigned in true style. Qtliletic Givalds The following awards were earned by students during the year.

Kaufman, D. Parduhn, A. Vincent. The 1948-49 basketball season was more or less a failure as our experienced team did not start to jell until late in the season. The season was opened with four straight non-conference victories. Kewaskum defeated the Oaks in their first conference game and the play of the Oaks started on the down grade as they lost four straight conference games. Oakfield started to get back in form as they notched their first conference victory in five starts against Campbellsport. From then on the play of the Oaks started to improve and they ended up the season wrth a 5-5 record in conference play. The record for the season was 12-5 as we won seven non-conference tilts without a loss. Both of the tournament games were lost. The first game to Kewaskum and the consolation game to Campbellsport. Robert Collien was placed on the All-Conference first team and Gordon Kaufman on the second team. Foster Wagenknecht was elected honorary captain for the season. ? £ juad Our B team has had its ups and downs this year. The team has shown excellent team work and good ball handling. Every player shov ed fine sportsmanship and we hope the “B team will be as successful next year as they have been this year. 8 'Team Olteelleadeis This year for the first time, our shool had ''B'' Team Cheerleaders. They were Jeanne Bird and Patricia Bloohm. There were two groups who tried out with three in each group. These cheerleaders led the cheers for the B” team and I am sure we made a wise choice.

President Lavelda Stafford Secretary and Treasurer Mathilda Turner Democracy in Action is truly the main theme of our Student Council. Each class elected two representatives plus the class Presidents who were also included on the council. The council handled a great many of the major events in school. The annual homecoming parade and dance were sponsored by the council and they were run off in true Oakfield fashion. Much credit is due our President Lavelda Stafford who performed like a true born executive. Sand ury ef J f vMl Our band again this year was under the capable direction of Mr. Kendall. We lost seven members of last year due to graduation. A new baritone saxophone was purchased, and it added much to the tone and quality of our music. The band performed very well in our Homecoming parade. Our annual concert was held the 24th of March, we played to a full house. April 30th and May 7th were the dates of the Band Tournament at Waupun. Our annual combined Band Concert was held at Campbellsport the 12th_ ' ... clus JS' le chorus of Oakfield High School. Though the groups was much smaller than that of the year before it progressed a great deal. We had rehearsals once a week under the direction of Mr. Kendall. Members competed in the Music Festival in solos, duets, and piano solos. We hope this activity will continue to flourish in the years to follow. y , 7 •77 A—7 C- llew Papel tyafjfj BACK: R.

For the first time in many years colored paper was used, and it seemed to work out very well. A charge of 50c was made as the yearly subscription price. We created a favorable relation and reaction by distributing the paper to all the business houses in town. Robert Ropp was the editor assisted by Tillie Turner. Our advisor was Mrs. Droegkamp to whom much credit is due for her leadership and cooperation. The advanced typing class did much of the newspaper work, thus giving this years paper a fine rating. This marked the fourteenth year of circulation. We hope the coming year will be as successful. A warm thank you to all those on the staff for a swell job. I ho iensic$ FIRST ROW: Mrs. Buehner, P.

One of the most valuable extra-curricular activities we have in school is Forensics. Forensics does much to give a person self-confidence and poise when they appear before a group. Twelve students made up our squad this year. Such a worthwhile activity should really attract more students. Mrs. Buehner directed and coached our team. We wish to thank her for her time and efforts on our behalf. The following people were out for forensics: Formal Oration—B. Ropp; Four Minute Speech—C. Hass; Extemporaneous Reading—J. Willie; O. McClain; S. Weidner and D. Dethardt; Serious Declamations—L. Stafford, P. Stoppleworth, J. Michaels, Humorous Declamations—J. Culver; E. Galleske, and R. Haberkorn. The local contest was held on March 16, and the Tri-County at Lomira on March 22. ★ —23— ★ oa k The girls of Oakfield High School. O. A. K. stands for Oakfield Activities Klub and means exactly that. Instead of having one specific club or having more than one club we put them all together to form the O. A. K. Thus, some of the activities of our club included the library, amateur photography, talks on etiquette, volley ball, ping pong, bowling and any other odd jobs or activities that might be participated in. The new members, other than those belonging to the Library Club of last year, were properly initiated. The O. A. K. sponsored a bake sale to raise money for ping pong tables and gave the annual Sadie Hawkins Party. Members who earned the most points were given awards. Mrs. H. J. Droegkamp was our advisor and we wish to thank her for her progressive ideas and the time which she helpfully gave tp the club. —24— Hi - £ite$ 1. The day our basketball players got new jackets. 2.

The Christmas party, given by the seniors, was different this year in that the alumni were not invited. The homecoming party was given in their honor instead. Recently the school purchased an orthophonic for all future parties. The parties were enjoyed by all.
