Mmmmaa X wwms-,EK DEDICATION We, the class of '49, dedicate our first yearbook to our Oakland High School, whose origin was on State Street but which has been in its present building since 1926. The distinguishing characteristic of our school, through the adminis- trators, has been its deep interest in the welfare of its pupils, which has been an inspiration for us through the years. From these same portals have gone many whose sentimental reflec- tions have been, and are, the same as ours, yet because this is the school's first yearbook, these sentiments have not been immortalized in print. Therefore, we consider it altogether fitting and proper that our first yearbook shall be dedicated to our school. Affectionately and respectfully we offer it. May our efforts be worthy of Oakland High School. 3 FX EEE MARY K.

Of course, along about our eleventh year she became interested in boys, but still at graduation, there is no steady, She is our star in social studies class and is one of our honor students. We hope more honor may come in the future to Barbara. ll LOIS GALL Shotgun' ' 1. Track Z. Vice-President Tri-Hi-Y 3. Treasurer of Science Club 4. F. H. A. 5.

Social Studies Club 4. Secretary of O. H. S. A. A. Bruce became a member of our class in the eighth grade. He is a very active pe son in our class. His figures of speech and his humorous jokes make for plenty of laugl' ter. Without Bruce our class would be very dull. Bruce is a fine artist and a very good math student. He also holds the title of being able to consume the most food in a short period of time. The entire class wishes Bruce all the luck in the future. VERNON HASKINS Vernie l. Baseball Team 2. Hi-Y 3.

SHIRLEY MALLERY Squirrely l. Tri-Hi-Y Z. Music Club 3. F. H. A. 4. Math Club Shirley came to us in the fourth grade. She has always been very popular, espec ally with the boys. It would be hard to imagine our class without her, for she is always around to lend a helping hand whenever it is needed. Although she has many outside intj eats, she has never neglected her school work. We're sure that she will carry on the s way in the future. Good luck, Shirley. 12 HELEN ROE Blondie l. Tri-Hi-Y Z. F.

We are all hoping to see Helen on top of the list in whatever she does. JOSEPH SCHULTZ Joe l. Baseball Team Z. President of Hi-Y 3. Science Club .Toe became a member of our class in the third grade. He is an active member of our class and has always been a big hit with the girls. Mike is his best friend in the senior class.

DAVID SNYDER Dave l. Band Z. Hi-Y 3. Vice-President Senior Class 4. Math Club Dave has been with us from the eighth grade on and it would be hard to imagine the class without him. He is a friend to everyone. His secret is that he likes the girls. He is a hard worker in all his classes, but band is the activity in which he is most interested. He particularly likes to play his violin. We hope he will do as well in his future life as he has in school. JOHN SUCHNICK Mike l. Baseball Z. Hi-Y 3. Social Studies Club 4. President Senior Class John has been with us since first grade. His best friend is .Toe Schultz, also of the senior class.

He is our senior president and we have no doubt he will be president of some big firm some day. 13 KT UNDERGRAD uniora RICHARD WILLIAMS FLOYD FISK RUTH NORTON STANLEY DAVIDSON CAROL BIRDSALL HARRY LYONS JAMES HALEY HAROLD TWINING TEAN GLIDDEN JAMES SMITH K GERALD BILLS LILLIAN ROE 15 Members: Gerald Bills Carol Birdsall Stanley Davidson Floyd Fisk Jean Glidden JUNIORS President-James Smith Vice-President-Carol Birdsall Secretary-Gerald Bills Treasurer-Richard Williams James Haley Harry Lyons Ruth Norton Lillian Roe James Smith A is for another year of work, Which some of us do and some of us shirk.
