The first day We ran wildly about the building looking for class rooms and were laughed at by the UDDGT classmen. But soon We found our places and were able to shift for ourselves. That year We were active along social lines, giving 3 Htaify pull to which the entire school was invited, and a Weiner roast in honor of the Sophomores. Our officers for that year were: President, Wreatha Comfort, Vice-President, Eva Williams, Secre- tary, Mary Easter, Treasurer, Ida Raslerg Board of Control member, Neil Krumng Class Advisor, J. J. Carrol. We were Well represented in all school activities and altogether our first year was a very successful one. CHAPTER II The next year, 1921, We came back with many good resolutions, resolving to study hard and get good grades, also to initiate the Freshman. Sad to tell there were only twenty-four of us, but, We made our presence felt by the Whole school. That year We gave the initiation and a Weineir roast in honor of the Seniors. We were again Well represented in athletics. In Girls Basket Ball We were represented by Eva Williams and Nellie Johnson and in Boys Basket Ball by Burton Miller, Neil Krurnkn and Ralph Lemmon. Our officers Were: President, Burton Miller, Vice-President, Eva Wil- liamsg Secretary, Daniel Damitiog Treasurer, Neil Krumng Board of Control member, Ralph Lemmon and our Class Advisor, Mrs. Hall.

,i-.ff JI , J Senior Class Prophecy oOo It is the year 1945, in the month of October. It is early evening and the crowds of people on the streets are intent on affairs of pleasures. The theaters are bright with lights and music seems to come from every direction. It was my first visit to Oakville in fourteen years. How different things seemed. The village is no longer, but, a active busy city is in its place, its population as given by McLean's Almanac is 100,000 and, by the way this Almanac is really written and edited by our old friend Clayton McLean. It sounds rather impossible, but it is so. You should get a copy, you will laugh until your head swims as it is fairly alive with his personality. But to return to Oakville, electric cars, suburban railroads, elevated railroads and double decked side walks are no novelty to this city and most of the inhabi- tants go about the country in airplanes. In fact one of the principle industries of Oakville at present is the manufacture of airplanes and one of our old classmates, Hilda Hillstrom, has a monster air- plane factory located there. It is rumored that her old friend Ida Kanouse Cher name isn't Kanouse nowl has invented a bicycle with wings and will soon go into partner ship with Hilda to manufacture them on a large scale. Another interesting industry is the manu- facture of Head Cheese. You doubtless remember how much Leona Lemmon used to like cheese. She has a large plant for manufactur- ing this cheese and is very successful in a financial way. She has her own trade mark, perhaps you have seen it in the paper, Lemmon's Half Moon Head Cheese . In reading about Oakville in McLean's Almanac, I noticed this item Native town-Eva Williams-singer . That set me thinking, as I thought I recognized the name. I inquired around and sure enough Eva Williams-singer was my old class- mate. She is a great success and is very well known. She has changed her name also, ,though I don't remember just what it is. Further on in the writeup I came across two more familiar names, Myrtle Provoe and Elsie Mitcheck, originators and proprietors of Kandy Kamel Company. This company appeared, after farther examination, to be manufacturers of the well known Kandy Kamel which is manufactured especially for High School pupils to eat during class periods. Oakville has grown to such an extent that among the suburbs are listed Garrad Creek, Balsh, Lankner, Rony, Callow, and Cedar- ville. In the later is located the beautiful and palatial home of Hilda Hall, well known society leader, and in Garrad Creek is the equally beautiful home of Ralph and Grace Lemmon the great movie actors, who you see every day at your favorite picture house.
