Text from Pages 1 - 112 of the 1984 volume:

Oakfield High School Oakfield, Wisconsin Dedication to Excellence We the Class of 1984 dedicate our yearbook to Mrs. Thompson. She has been a good asset to us during our years at OHS. When we felt that we could not do well Mrs. Thompson convinced us to do our best and then some. She encouraged us to reach our potential and understood the problems that we would encounter along the way. Yet, she strived to give us that extra” to be all that we could be. Thank You for giving the Class of 1984 a chance to prove that we can do what we put our minds to. We will NEVER forget you! 2 Seniors Jose Araiza Renee Berger Tony Burbach Michelle Baehler Shelley Brotherton Tom Behlke Yes, back on the old crutches, again.

I don't live downtown but still in Munich. I like to downhill ski, windsurf, play tennis, take trips to other countries, and qo out with friends to concerts and bars. In Germany the drinking age is sixteen. I would like to explain how I became an AFS student. In October of 1982, a teacher at my school told the class about the possibility of going to the United States for one year. Twenty pupils from our school applied, and only fifty from Munich. I spent a weekend with the other students who applied. The only chosen ones from my school were my best friend Alexander Raul and me. Alexander has been in Brazil since February of 1983. I spent five more weekends with the other AFS-ers, and people who had already re turned from abroad with AFS. I left Germany on the 18th of September. I encountered many problems because sixty percent of American families wanted girls. 3000 AFS students from all over the world spent the past year in the U.S., 285 from Germany. My first impression of America was “like totally different school sys-temlM Here you can choose most of your classes. In Germany we have to take thirteen, four of them in language. The teachers come to us so we stay in the same room all year. We have more academic subjects rather than practical ones like cooking and computers. Another big difference is the food. I don’t like it! The temperature and climate are nearly the same here as In Germany. The people I have met are all very nice to me. The teachers help me in any way to get better grades. The only class I have problems with is Social Problems because of all the technical terms. I am happy to be at a small school like OHS because everybody knows everybody. It is a very nice community and I am sure I will miss it when I return to Germany. I have stayed with the Ivan Reetz family and I like them all very much. Norbert Kreuzer 15 Senior Class Will We, the class of nineteen hundred and eighty-four of the Oakfieid High School, Oakfield, Wisconsin, being of sound mind and body, herby delcare this to be our last will and testament. To the Class of ’85, the next heirs to the throne, we give all of our shortcomings because we are sure they will be fostered” until even we wouldn’t recognize them. To the Class of '86, we give all of our maturity because we, as well as everyone else, can see they need It.

Senior Class Prophecy Being a travel agent isn’t easy, as I, Cathy Reetz have found out, but It has its fringe benefits. The main one being a nationwide tour of California and New York. My trip started at the airport In Chicago on my way to California, and who did I run into but Pam O'Laire, who became manager at Burbach's Greenhouse. She filled me in a bit about her family of five and said Cindy Stephanie and B.J. Ingalls opened up a boutique in New York; All of the clothes there were made by Deb Ryan who had become a famous seamstress in Paris. I finally got on the plane after talking with Pam for over an hour. I sat down with a very sophisticated looking man and after a few moments I realized it was Rick Donovan, he struck it rich In making kid's toys. T.J. Holt loaned him some money to get started, because T.J. as we remember from High School owned a lot of stock. He also told me that Marc Wall and Jett Towne invented a new computer and Joe Stuewer had become a slick businessman. I was getting a bit tired so I decided to listen to my radio and I heard a very familiar voice on this country rock station. And to my surprise it was Juanita Pinno. After a nice mello song came the sports. “This is Craig Chadwick reporting to you live at the annual Sport Spectacular. Pool Shark Mike Fitzpatrick won $5,000 today at the Pool Hall In Mr. Lucky's, and Steve Hinze was second place winner at the European Water Polo Championships.” After what seemed like days my stewardess Kim Lueck and pilot Jett Messner thanked me for flying United. I got off the plane in Hollywood, California. The first thing I saw was Fabris Cardiago, the famous male model in a photo session. Little did I know it was really a classmate of mine Robert Conrad. I couldn’t help but go and talk to him and he said his next photo session would be with Yvonne Klntzler, the runner-up for the Miss America Contest. He also informed me that Greg Ryan is a security guard at Sybella Gelhar's mansion in Hollywood. I finally got to my hotel to find out that President Bonny Winberg and her private secre- tary Kate Gage were roomed next to me. They were both looking for Jose Araiza, who was recently hired at the U.N. as a translator. Being exhausted, I sat down and turned the news on Channel 11, which is owned by Shelley Brotherton, where anchorwoman Renee Berger had some interesting stories. “Illegal alien Norbert Kruezer has been caught and Judge Joseph Havey has not set the penalties as of yet. World famous bank robber Kris Hilbert has finally been caught by Srgt. Llann Lefeber.” I spent three glorious days in California and then decided to go to NY where I heard Kay Kollmann play her bassoon in the philharmonic orchestra and I saw Mike DiDomizio direct a Shakespearean play. I then went to the art museum which portrayed a new style of art by Deb Kottke and Michelle Baehler. Weak from being on a National Enquier diet, I fell down the steps of the museum and ended up in the hospital. The medical secretary Denise Clark admitted me to Dr. Kristine Rebedew and her lab assistant Kirk Mulder. They took good care of me and I was out In 2 hours with strick orders to see the Dietician Marie Zuber, and change my eating habits. She informed me that Jamie Kottke was writing for the Farmer’s Almanac and Cindy Mischker became a political science teacher in New York. For the next couple of days I rented a limo chauferred by Kevin Feuerhammer. He gave me a grand tour of the grand houses structured by architect Gary Ryan. I also got to tour Tom Gruenwaid's Wildlife Sanctuary and Jennifer Galbraith's Canning Company. It was now time to go home, but first I had to stop at the cathedral to visit Cardinal Tom Behlke and the Reverand Mother Jodi Thill. Back to good ole Oakfield for one last time. It still looks the same, a few cracks In the ceiling and some new paint on the walls. Rick Schmidt has been hired as the head maintenance man. I would like to say that a lot of these Ideas are far fetched, but I know you will all be prosperous, but not just in money, but in life. 17 Faces and Places of OHS Have you shaved today, girls?

Yes, let’s shake hands across the miles, The miles of sea, the miles of shore, And trust the kindly afterwhiles May bring us face to face once more. Though one may gaze on fields of snow, The other look on fields of green, We're old-time comrades still, I know; No matter are the miles between. The fates have lured us far apart, I miss you, and I miss your smiles, But friendship holds us heart to heart, So let’s shake hands across the miles. James Ball Naylor Good of days What ever happened to the good ol' days? Jumprope on the blacktop Football in the park Sliding down the big slide Hide-n-seek at dark Getting up for school each day With new thoughts on your mind Cramming for the final exam Feel as if you’d gone blind Sending notes across the room To your special friend Waiting for the bell to ring So the class will end Pizza, dates and drive-ins Frollicking in the sun Cruisin’ down the avenue Sure was a lot of fun The good ol’ days are now done and gone And living in the past, so . . . Treat each moment specially As if it were your last! Cathy Reetz 32 Anyway People are unreasonable, illogical and self-centered Love them anyway If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish ulterior motives Do good anyway If you are successful, you will win false friends and true enemies Succeed anyway Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable Be honest and frank anyway The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow Do good anyway The biggest people with the biggest ideas can be shot down by the smallest people with the smallest minds Think big anyway People favor underdogs but follow only top dogs Fight for some underdogs anyway What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight Build anyway Give the world the best you have and you'll get kicked in the teeth Give the world the best you've got anyway Anonymous To a Friend Lightly As morning rests upon the mountains, The thought of you comes softly to my mind, The memory of you is close and dear. Your friendship, like a flowing fire, Has warmed me. And I will not forget what we have known, the touch of hands, the closeness in a smile. I'll hold these gently, Fondly, in my heart. Patricia Matthews 33 Administration In Memoriam Bob Schwanke: His top priority and primary concern was always the district students! We have not only lost a fine and dedicated School District Administrator but I have lost a dear friend. Phil Shelter: My association with Steve George has been a memorable one. Both personally, as a true friend, and as a man doing his job with sincere dedications. I am proud to have had the opportunity to work with him and to have known him and his family. My family will surely miss him. Kenneth F. Miller: No matter how hard he had to work at solving the District financial problems he always considered quality education as number one. Dan Honold: He held the respect of every board member in this particular facet of his job function. Keith Binning: In honor of Mr. George—a true friend, and excellent businessman, with one main thing always in mind— the childrens' education.

We also ran the stand for all of the football games. During the winter months we sold refreshments at the girl's basketball games and wrestling meets. A new item was added to our menu when we purchased a Nacho Machine. Jennifer Galbraith took care of Nacho supplies. In the fall we went on a Field trip with the Spanish Club to Milwaukee. They went to the Folk Fair while we visited the Milwaukee Public Museum. Our club donated to the Brad Westenberg fund, bought science and math awards, bought computer programs and equipment, and gave a gift to our foreign exchange student—Norbert. We are looking forward to another field trip and picnic this spring. Mr. Messner Popcorn anyone? 1st row: C. Wiese. P. Nickel, C. Bebow. K. Speers, J. Galbraith, C. Reetz, R. Berger, K. Kollmann, N.

This entitled him to attend the National Symposium. Marc’s paper was one of eight research papers to be selected from high school students throughout the state. The eight papers were presented to 150 students and teachers from 34 schools in the state. The presentations were judged on the basis of research, merit, and clarity of presentation. His presentation title was Apple Spectral Interface. His research involved building a device to hook up to an Apple computer to measure phosphate concentrations in a solution and report the results. He wrote a program to perform the measurements and print out the results. Top photo: Math Team: Sitting (I to r): T. Stibbe. C. Fisher. M. Wall. B. Badura, Mr. Messner; Standing (I to r): T. Holt. J.

We began our year with a cook-out to get acquainted with new members. To help celebrate homecoming, the members sold orange and black balloons to raise money for the March of Dimes. Marsha Jorgenson and Heidi Kintzler, two members, represented us at the District FHA conference. To help celebrate Halloween, we had a party for the younger members in the community. Christmas was celebrated through a pizza party and then a homemade gift exchange at Miss Johnson’s home.

Students must have at least a 3.25 grade point average to be eligible on the basis of scholarship. The faculty at OHS then votes on whether they feel the students are worthy to be members of the society on the basis of their demonstrated character, leadership, and service.

All-conference recognition went to junior Tim Lamonska at defensive tackle and senior Greg Ryan at offensive end. 2nd team honors went to junior Blair Krueger at center and linebacker, Gary Ryan at QB and defensive back, Tom Dineen at linebacker, and Joe Mayhew at running back.
