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— ★

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.

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—
