Mr Droegkamp In 1906 the graduating class of Oakfield High School published a yearbook entitled The Oak Leaves. This was the first edition. Every year until 1915 The Oak Leaves was published, excluding 1913 when they had no yearbook Tn 1937 they resumed publication and since that time a yearbook has been published. This is, therefore, the twenty-second edition of The Oak Leaves. This annual represents many hours of faithful work and application of the staff and members of the senior class. The advertising, drawing, writing, typing, and planning all were accomplished through teamwork and co-operation. We hope that you enjoy reading this book as much as we did preparing it for you! Many thanks to our advertisers; you made it possible for us to publish this 1951 edition of The Oak Leaves. Board or Education CLIFFORD GELHAR Director L. H.

CLASS HISTORY It began in September of 19U7 when sixteen bright and eager Freshies entered the assembly of Oakfield High School for the first time. During that year we gained two members, Paul Stoppleworth and Robert Cook. Our first few days were slightly confusing but with the help of the faculty and upperclassmen we scon became accustomed to it. Our class officers were: President, Dean Case; Vice-President, Joyce Michaels; and Secretary-Treasurer, Naomi Heimerl. Mary Lovejoy and Dean Case represented us in the Student Council. Advancing one year higher we became Sophomores. This year we number nineteen gaining one member, Gordon Kaufman. Later in the season David Flury who had been confined to his home returned to our class. Two members represented us in the student council, Joyce Michaels and Paul Stoppleworth. Our class officers were: President,Dean.Case;Vlce-Fresident, Janet Willie; and Secretary-Treasurer, Rosalie Haberkorn. We once again were back in high school for our third year. Our class of 1950 consisted of eighteen members. During the year we had two successful events, our Junior class card party and the Junior Prom. In the latter event Janet Willie and Robert Cook reigned as king and queen. At the end of the year our class numbered seventeen. Our class officers were: President, Joyce Michaels; Vice- President, Albert Turner; and Secretary-Treasurer, Rosalie Haberkorn. In our last year, as Seniors, we proved we had had four very successful years of school. Everyone worked together to promote a better class, so that when we graduated,the Oakfield High School would be proud of us. We won for the fourth consecutive year the annual magazine sale. Most of the boys have represented us ki football, basketball,and baseball. Joyce Michaels and Naomi Heimerl have been cheerleaders for the past four years. During these past four years I think we have lived up to our motto, Only your best is good enough. Our class officer s are: President, Joyce Michaels; Vice-President, Paul Stoppleworth; Treasurer, Jeanne Bird; and Secretary, Naomi Heimerl. We have some very happy memories of our school days at O.H.S. which will remain with us during all our lives. Even though this is the last time we'll see school for a little while, we'll be back to visit. fctass Wiiit We, the Oakfield High School Senior Class of nineteen hundred and fifty-one, being of sound mind and body, do declare this to be our last will and testament, written this date as we bid farewell to our school, our faculty, and our fellow students: To the class of '52 we leave our ability to put on a successful prom. To the class of '53 we leave our good leadership. To the class of '5lj. we leave our ability of winning magazine sales. To Mr. Droegkamp, we will our financial successes. To Mr. Kirchen, more classes with our boys' athletic abilities. To Miss Hahn, we leave our earnestness at heart to do our best. To Miss Goerke, we will our sense of humor. To Mr. Arnold, good luck in securing band members to fill the vacancies left by us. And to Mr. Vandehey, our Freshman teacher and advisor, to whom we owe our successful start, our wishes for the best of luck and success, and our sincerest thanks. To our school, determination to retain its reputation of good sportsmanship.

During the year our time was spent sponsoring a card party and planning and decorating for the junior Prom. Both of these events were a success. Eight of the boys were out for basketball, with two of them making the first team. Six of the boys particiDated in football. The girls were members of the 0. A. K.. The class was also represented in the band. At the end of the year our class numbered fifteen JUNIOR PROM Amid nautical decorations, the annual Oakfield Junior Prom was nela Apill 20, 1951, at Liberty Hall. Music was furnished by Tom Temple's orchestra, and as he played the prom theme, Harbor Lights, king Dick Pfcll-lpsky and queen Esther Shwed along with their court promlnaded around the floor. Dick was chosen king from a field of three candidates who were nominated by the Junior class with the final election open to the entire student body. He has been outstanding in athletics, playing on the basketball, football, and baseball teams for the past three years. In school he has held several offices including vice-president of the Junior class. Queen Esther has always been popular since she entered 0. K� 3. has held down several positions, latest of which are treasurer of the Junior class and assistant editor of the paper along with being in the O.A.K. for three years. Pat Bloohm and LeRoy Bierne, Beverly Wolf and Douglas Jerabek, Shirley Schrank and Don Schaefer, Arlene Pautsch and Gerry Ogle, and Lorraine Franks and LeRoy Franks made up the court of honor.

Of the lettermen returning, two are pitcher-infielders, Gordon Kaufman and Wayne Stageman; three, Jerome Kruse, David Flury and Bill Collien are regular infielders; and one. Dean Case, is an outfielder. Douglas Jerabek, an outfielder last year, is being groomed to fill the catcher position vacated by the able Darold Collien who graduated.

Last spring, 1950, the Oakfield High School band received a 2nd ln playing and a 3rd in marching at the tourna-ment which was held at Ripon. This year the band was under the direction of Mr, Eugene Arnold. The band entered the tournament at Fond du Lac and put on a fine perrormance. The numbers that were played were festival Overture and Monte Crlsto. The band had twenty-eight members and appeared publicly for the first time on December 15, 1950, at a Christmas Concert which w s held at Liberty Hall. ia L mpllmen W!£e re°elved by the hand members and by Mr. Arnold on their fine ; majorettes shown above are, Shirley Kruse, Delores Sch- and,Shiri0y Schrank. The best of luck always to our director. Me. Arnold, and to the band of Oakfield High School. 0. A. K. stands for Oakfield Activities Klub tc which every girl of Gakfield High School is a member. The club had a membership of thirty-three girls. During the year the girls took care of the library, and bowled on Wednesdays. Mr. Carl Eick, manager of the bowling alleys, awarded a trophy to the girl who bowled the highest single game. A Sadie Hawkins Party was given by the club and everyone had a wonderful time. Officers elected at the beginning cf the year were: President Joyce Michaels; Vice President, Janet Willie; and Secretary and Treasurer, Patricia Bloohm. Our advisor was Miss Hahn. In September of her Senior year, Rosalie Haberkorn became editor of our monthly school paper, the Oakleaf. Esther Shwed, a member of the Junior class, then was assistant editor. Miss Hahn was again our competent advisor. During Homecoming, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter and graduation we've had seasonal issues, with an extra -special drawing on the cover and lots of sparkling news. The Oakleaf is issued free-of-charge to Oakfield's businessmen and every student. Papers are also exchanged with other schools in the Tri-County Conference. All has not been clear sailing in printing our paper. There have been days of bad weather and illness when reporters were unable to have articles in on time. There have been interruptions because of six-weeks tests and extra-curricular activities. The mimeographer seldom has been up to par. For the past sixteen years everyone has eagerly looked forward to the day the Oakleaf was ready for the news-stand I What fun we've had working together, worrying together, and enjoying together I FORENSICS SERIOUS DECLAMATION Jeanne Bird....................................A Very Busy Woman Joyce Michaels................................The Fancy Dress Ball HUMOROUS DECLAMATIONS Barbara Stumpf...........................................Brotherly Love Rosalie Haberkorn...................Little Brothers Are That Way EXPTEMPORANEOUS SPEECH Ruth Bird EXTEMPORANEOUS READINGS Janet Willie - Betty Homan June Farrington ADVISORS Miss Hahn.....................................................Miss Goerke CLASS PLAY In February, 1951, we chose The Inner Willy as our senior class play which was given early in the month of May. Characters in the play were Willoughby Adams, 16, well behaved, likable Doy; Aunt Hester, 63, Aunt Louise, 61, Aunt Olga, 59, Willoughby’s maiden aunts, who have given him a beautiful and sheltered life; Innei Willy, Willoughby's inner self, visible only to Willoughby; Stanley Clark, 16, inclined to be a little tough; Mike, 16, bashful, but a regular guy; Marybelle Turner, 16, the girl next door; Trudy Marshall and Janet Marshall, lively, 16 year old twins who do not necessarily look alike; and Carol Martin, 16, the girl whom Willoughby secretly admires. Willoughby Adams, who has been under the over-solicitous influence of three maiden aunts, is finally forced to unbend and be himself. This feat is achieved through the goading of Inner Willy who pops out of thin air. Inner Willy does not vanish until Willoughby disposes of girl complications and makes an issue of a career choice. 1. First day of school. 2.
