Each day awaits a new sunrise, like the morning-glory that unfolds its petals at each new sunrise and reflects the eternal l ne™no r A New Beginning a We, the graduating class of 1981, would like to dedicate this yearbook to Mr. Gary Knuth. Mr. Knuth's first year at OHS has been one of involvement with the students, beyond his duties as a teacher. In the course of the school year he coached football, weightlifters, and boy's track. His students identified in him the qualities of fairness, and knowledge of the subjects he taught. This year was the beginning of a new part of Mr. Knuth's life-his teaching career. It has also been the beginning of a part of our lives, as we the Class of '81 have grown from the security of high school, into the adult world where each day brings a new challenge and new decisions for us to make. We wish you the best in the future, Mr. Knuth. In our own way each of us will remember you as we meet the challenges life has to offer us. 4 ADMINISTRATION FACULTY Personnel keep the Above, left to right. Cooks Mrs. Peterson. Mrs Supernand.

In September of her Junior year, Pam heard a radio announcement about a meeting for students interested in being exchange students. Preparations began immediately after that meeting and throughout her junior year. The preparations included interviews and dental exams, briefings about the laws and customs of the country, and filling out many forms. The Rotary Club of Fond du Lac, who sponsored Pam to Mexico, sponsored her to the World Affairs Seminar at the U-W-Whitewater during the summer of 1980. The Rotary Club arranged which families Pam would live with. Pam lived with a total of four different families during the year she spent in Mexico. Each family takes care of Pam's needs while she is staying with them. Through the Rotary Club, students wishing to study abroad may choose from 26 countries, and the club tries to get each student into the country they wish to go to. France and Germany are the only countries that require the students to know the language before studying there. After studying Spanish for three years at Oakfield High School, and possessing a desire to learn about people of another country, Pam was well suited to go to Mexico. Although she will not be able to attend her class's graduation ceremony, she will receive a diploma from Oakfield High School. 34 35 The setting sun is just the night's passing — But it will rise again in the morning just as beautifully as it set And along with it will come the memories of the night before spent with friends The sun is just one little reminder captured in your memories never to leave again Sue Hjelle There are two lasting gifts we can give our children-one is roots, the other is wings. 36 ORGANIZATIONS Band and Chorus Harmonize Band members, left to right, back row: L.

These student assistants did much of the housekeeping work that is so time-consuming — getting magazines for students, returning books, keeping shelves in order, helping students locate materials. For this service, on behalf of all the students, we thank these select few. Mr. Tritz Mrs. Holt wutnr HUME SREWET Forensics team, left to right, back row: advisor. Miss O'Neil, K.

Eight members with no more than four seniors comprise the team. Students work three problems in areas of algebra, geometry, trig, etc. Correct answers are worth 1, 3, and 5 points. There is also a Team event. Awards are given for individual high scores and team high scores. We are looking for our first State Trophy. We hope to take the conference championship again this year as we have done in most of the past years. Our team's name is the Apple Invaders.

The club ran the park stand for a baseball tournament and the football games. We also sold refreshments at the girls basketball games and some wrestling meets. We are planning on a field trip, possibly to the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago. Other activities we take part in are telescope viewing sessions, speakers, bridge building contests, and science awards at the end of the year. Advisors are Mr. Neinhouse and Mr. Messner.

This year, our activities included several safety programs aimed toward chemical safety in the home and on the farm. Three of our members also attended the National FFA Convention in Kansas City, Mo. We had a basketball and volleyball team which played other FFA chapters in the area. The officers and other members also attended various workshops and meetings to help improve their leadership skills. The FFA strives to inform the public of the importance that agriculture has on our lives and integrates classroom learning with lab and outside activities to provide meaningful instruction in agriculture for students planning on entering agriculture agribusiness as a career.

The more organized a group is the more that can be accomplished. We have met our goals and ideas. A creative mind and the determination to make the best better are the makings of a leader.

Although the number of students participating has declined slightly, the quantity, as well as the quality of work, has increased. The school newspaper is for the students, and hopefully, with continuing support from the students, the Oakleaf will continue to improve while providing an opportunity for student journalism.

The 1980-81 crew saw an addition of the first guy to the staff. Our fun-loving staff was under the leadership of an appreciated editor, Mary Gau. After the staff has labored all year over every word and picture, then the books must be printed at a cost of nearly $4000. But the hardworking staff went out and collected nearly half that amount in advertisements, to reduce the cost to you! The staff also plans a party after your Yearbook” is finished and on its way to you. And believe us, they deserve it!!! Mrs. Eschenbauch Mr. McLean Yearbook Staff, back left to right: C. Gau, B.

These projects will be sold at the Spring Band Chorus Concert. A few Saturdays are being set aside for the art club to work together in the art room with Mrs. Stuhr's supervision. Hopefully, this co-operative effort will result in a larger quantity of projects being turned out for the sale. Mrs. Stuhr 54 Art Club Members left to right, back row: D. Heinz, V. Velez, K.

Camelot did not open, and we were forced to borrow Rolling Meadows for our home meets; but we had a very enjoyable season playing various courses in the area, including beautiful Lawsonia. We even hosted the Regional, to finish up the season. Four 1980 starters will return in 81: Suprenand, Tadman, Andrysczyk, and Perry. Mike Cage was the only graduating starter. Most promising )V player in 1980 was Scott Weinberger. Coach McLean Many believe that competition and fun don't mix. Well, this group of girls has proven this theory wrong. With the increased variety of spring sports for girls, a tough decision had to be made by some. Those that made the decision to work at track, did just that —work! We may be the smallest group at the meets, but we are the most devoted. After running your heart out for two meets a week, the ability to laugh is mighty fine-and so are these girls.

The 800 meter relay team lost in the sectional and ended the season with one state participant, Bryan Novak, who placed third in the 100 meter dash. In 1981 we look for another competitive season against both conference and nonconference opponents. Experience is not our long suit, but with good athletes from every class, we should be able to compete in every class. Team speed, power, and good distance runners will help us finish high in this season's meets. Coach Knuth 71 Cross Country— Competitive Force in '81 The Oakfield Cross Country team was few in number but large in heart. What other 6 guys would take it upon themselves to run 3+ miles every night, endure the elements, and then return for more! If it wasn't heart, then it was sheer craziness! We were young, often running with a team comprised of sophomores and freshmen, and we lacked experience, the needed experience to compete on the varsity level. I believe we had enthusiasum, however, and I hope we can maintain this enthusiasm through next year. With the addition of some new members and more experience we should be more competitive and a challenging force in the conference next fall, 1981. Back: left to right.

Power was the name of the game. Leading our team in experience were three Seniors; Mary Merk, Tammy Shady and Kathy Vielbig, followed by three juniors and five Sophomores. It was learned early in the season that success would only be ours with effective team work and thinking ability. We found ourselves at the end of the season with a fourth in Conference, but our long-awaited skills peaked during Tournament time leaving us with a Regional Championship.

Junior Pat Austin was named to the 2nd All-Conference team at guard, while the Lineman-of-the-Vear honor went to Senoir Randy Scheberl. Sophmore Joe Ryan was Back-of-the-Year.

In case you find any mistakes in this Yearbook, please remember they were put there for a purpose. We try to get something into this Yearbook for everybody, and some people are always looking for mistakes. (Wall Street Journal) 105 The American dream exists in all of us. It is up to us to keep this dream alive. We as citizens of the United States have many rights and freedoms. But with these come responsibilities. We cannot have one without the other. Our forefathers knew the importance of education. High school is an important part of our education. It is here that we learn our heritage, our history, and what we face as a nation today. Here we leam our responsibilities as citizens. We must believe in what our nation stands for, and the symbols of these ideals. If a nation is to survive, the people must feel united, and carry within them the spirit of patriotism. Only through understanding the past can we build a brighter future. We are tomorrow's leaders, but we must begin building the future today. INTER-COLLEGIATE PRESS SHAWNEE MISSION. KANSAS WINNIPEG. MANITOBA 5 INTER-COLLEGIATE PRESS MISSION. KANSAS W1NNK €G.
