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.

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—
