Oakfield High School - Oak Leaves Yearbook (Oakfield, WI)

Page 11 text:

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 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.

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.''
