To a few lives comes that greatest victory of materializing a vision for the betterment of humanity. That is the story of man-made flight-a story that began as a youthful vision and grew, with years of patient labor, into the su- preme reality of flight. To its founders there is dedicated a living memorial in the hearts of men and women, testifying to the real greatness of their accomplishment. Around the Air ort THE HANGAR Oakwood High School is more than just a uhangarf' a place where planes are kept. It does more than just house 649 students. Its environment is such as that found in a very modern aviation experimental laboratory, producing outstanding advancements. This laboratory combines beauty in architecture, landscaping, interior finishing, and equipment, all of which receive unusual care in upkeep and maintenance. Its centrally located buildings consist of two parts-ea junior high of fifteen classrooms built in 1931 and a senior high of twentyffour classrooms built in 1924. These are in addition to a large auditorium, two spacious gymnasiums, a new stadium, a fifthf mile track, a field house, and a sixfacre athletic field. In all, the entire school and grounds cover twelve acres. That Oakwood students and parents take great pride in their school building and all its surroundings is shown by their interest in adding to the school's equipment. Many services have been rendered the school through the P. T. A. and individual presentations. For example, through the generosity of Majcir Carl Greene, the physics department has this year added to its laboratory a twelveffoot model of a cantilever bridge. The P. T. A. and individual donors also present many of the cups and awards that are given at the end of each year, besides adding hundreds of dollars' worth of permanent equipment to the school annually. Interesting items in Oakwood High Schools data include thc means of transportaf tion used by the students and their distances from school. Most of them are Oakwood residents, some even having the school almost in their back yards. There are those who live out of town, Troy being the farthest city represented. The outfof-town group increased this year as Oakwood took in students from Dayton after the shut' down of their schools. Most common mode of transportation is by foot, followed in popularity by the bicycle, the automobile, trolley bus, skates, and an occasional motor scooter. +-.Nm Q? 12291 ' A .,,. ,, ,P-SWA? .A,: fi?'f 5-f,,,,+, wk A ,,,, f 'Eg .. 54 ggi?

Mr. Heckert. just as an airport would be handicapped without a good staff of directors, Oakwood schools would also be handicapped without a good school hoard and staff of adminisf trators. The Board of Education, headed by Mr. Edwin D. Smith, who has served for seventeen years, includes in addition Mr. Alfred S. Frank, vicefpresidentg Mrs. Horace Huffman, Mr. Frederick Heckert, Mr. Horace Gray, and Mr. R. A. Parker, clerk of the board. Meetings are held the last Monday evening of each month in the school office. First among the projects undertaken by the Board this year was the passing of the threefmill tax levy to maintain the high standards of the school. Oakwood's citizens showed their approval by a twoftofone vote for the measure. The November elections also brought about the closing of Dayton's schools, making it necessary for the Board to decide on the matter of taking in Dayton students. The vote was that we should take in such students where there was room and where adjustments could be made, provided they promised to complete the year at Oakwood and pay the full tuition fee. From the state director of education word was received in February that Oakwood schools continue in high standing on the list of schools approved by the Department. This report, following an unannounced inspection of the schools by F. M. Shelton, Division of Instruction of the State Department of Education, sums up very well, and in an unprejudiced way, the results of the efforts of our Board of Education, adminisf trators, and faculty: The schools are under capable leadership, The program is well arranged to meet the needs of the pupils enrolled. The teaching is above average in qualityg some of it is superior. The pupils were interested and responsive, That good work is being done is evidenced by the high scholarship records made by the pupils not only in the state tests and College Board examinations but later in college standing. You have an excellent plant that is centrally located. All departments are well equipped, what is more, the equipment is used to advantage. lt is noted with approval that the sixfyear program in guidance has been further developed. that safety instruction is given with special emphasis placed on automof bile driving, and that a fourthfyear review course in mathematics is being offered.

Since then, fifteen yearhooks have heen puhlished, form' ing a very good history of the progress of Oakwood High School. In the first annual we read: 'LThe school year of 192324 hrought to Oakwood school its first senior class of nine memhers. They were Howard Blank, Rowan Greer, john Hatcher, Elizaheth Hiett, Ethel Kepler, Edna King, Fred Shotwell, Emmeline Smith, and Willizim Stupp, all of whom served on the first annual staff. We note also: In 1920 the Oakwood orchestra was organized with nine memhers. It now 11924, has grown to the extent of twenty memhersf' Playing the flute was T. J. Wcmnid, incidentally.

TI-IE PILDT PREPARES PASSENGERS FUR THE FLIGHT Fellow Classmates: That great moment which has always appeared as a mirage on the skyline of our future has now suddenly revealed itself to us in reality. We have witnessed the exodus of many preceding classes from Oakwood, but only now can we fully realize the true meaning of commencement. We formerly thought of this event as a jubilant celebration glorifying our past accomplishments, but now we see that it is more appropriately named. Indeed, it is the beginning-the beginning of the most momentous period of our lives, for the way in which we go forth to perform our tasks and duties and make our decisions will form the foundations upon which our careers must he built. We alone can determine the material for these foundations-whether it be sand or rock. Up to the present, however, we have had rather smooth sailing, Cakwood has given us the finest advantages and opportunities for moral, mental, and physical def velopment obtainable. I sincerely hope that such valuable blessings will always continue with us, and that we shall always be privileged to live in a country whose principles are equality and justice for all. This indeed is our greatest blessing. May we faithfully fulfill our responsibility to country and posterity by keeping this fire of liberty and democracy burning forever in the hearts of every American! As we go forth to accept this responsibility, as well as many others, my most fervent hope is expressed by those tender words of little Tiny Tim: God bless us every one!

The time has come to say goodbye: Our voices high we raise, For we are leaving Oakwood High Where we spent our happiest days. II. Our ship of knowledge we have sailed 'Til now our port we've neared, We've weathered storms, we've worked Now all of our trouhles we've cleared. CHORUS Oh, Oakwood High, you've guided us Through four short years of life, You've filled our days with happiness, You've helped us to overcome strife. But now, we'Il have to stand alone, We're in the hattle to fight. May we he as true, as vve've heen to y For you've helped to guide us aright. as one, ou, Preparing For The Take-Off During our years in Oakwood Junior and Senior High Schools the faculty has shared our eagerness to find the field in which we may have some ability or particular interest. Since the seventh grade our homeroom advisers, with the aid of various text' books, have impressed upon us the need for careful planning of our highfschool work for the best educational and vocational guidance. In order that we might Hnd out more about vocations in which we were interested, vocational conferences were arf ranged for seniors and other seniorfhigh students who wished to attend. Speakers rep' resenting various industries and professions had conferences with groups of students explaining to them the requirements for a particular field of work and the chances for advancement in that field. During the last semester of our senior year each senior has had a conference with the dean for the purpose of considering the next step after high school. If that step is college, the choice of college was discussed, the arrangements were made for en' trance, and high school records were checked to make sure the student had sufficient credits to meet college requirements. These conferences, as well as occasional consulf tations with college representatives, aided us immeasurably in making our choices. Those students planning to enter schools requiring College Board examinations have spent a great deal of time in special review and preparation. The faculty members have given freely of their time and assistance outside of regular school hours to the College Board students and others preparing for special scholarships or honors. This year, as in former years, scholarship tests have been taken by seniors in the upper forty per cent of their class. Scholarships in Ohio colleges are offered to those having a high ranking in the state, and a high state ranking also excuses College Board applicants from taking further examinations. The faculty has given us good counsel to assist us in reaching that goal toward which we have aimed. We shall endeavor to the utmost of our ability to be worthy of their confidence in us and to profit from their guidance. EMu1iel Musser . f' ,l a.., hh. History of the Class of 1939 In the fall of 1926 some scientists were experif 'Xf menting with a huge bomber at Wright Field. On vW-- 1 the initial test flight from the field it carried a highly ki, if f-w explosive bomb containing twentyfseven destructive 5-J , ,' E bomblets. This may sound a bit balmy, but that's to be ex- ' T K lm sr pected from the class of '39. The eighteen of these that landed gfw l Q? at Harman Avenue School were Greer Marechal, Helen Oliver, Ni!Woody Standish, Louise Clement, Bill Barr, who even then was W' A preaching to his disciples, Virginia Boyles, Bob Gray, Anne Sullivan, qt :Q 5-3 Walter McClaren, glamour girl Sue Myers, Dave Prugh, Ruth Langley, Ward McCally, Jane Hunter, Phyl Stanley, Lois Geis, Marie Merrill, Mary liilllia! Elizabeth Keogh, and Bill Walter forming the kindergarten class at Harman. 3 The other nine found themselves in the little green shacks which later united if into the Shafor Boulevard School. 'P The Shafor kindergarten was composed of Marilyn Vance, calm, cool and col' lected Jane Strong, Jack Lee, janet Breidenbach, Edgar Herrman, Esther Murlin, even then a combination of brain and ability, Marjorie Kronour, and Buena Greer. joining this group the following year were Leo the Lion Feinerer, Alice Hirsch, and Ronald Stahl. Barbara Legler and Mary Dunwoodie came to Harman's first grade just in time to see Bob Gray black Clemy's eye. fWas this a case of boy chase girl or girl chase boy?j Mary Elizabeth Keogh and Ruth Langley departed seeking their education elsewhere. Lady killers Stanley Jones and Dale Molfet escorted Dorothy Welch into the second grade at Harman. Shafor's newcomers were Frances Linder, Muriel Musser, Harry Clinger, Doro' thy Tate, Ruth Dolle, Bill Liming, Maria Economides, Bean Shannon, Clarence Shultheis, Jack Pearly Gates, Bill Husmann, and Doris Hostetter. Tom Walkup blasted his way into Shafor's third grade along with Betty Rout' zahn, Harold Jacobson, Marjorie Kromphardt, Mary jane Stein, and Marie Merrill. Doris Hostetter and Marilyn Vance left Shafor to enter Harman with Carolyn Talbot and Jimmy Priest in the third grade. At Bible School this year, the boys de' lighted in putting worms down the girls' necks. Trying to impress the girls, males with mechanical minds constructed a viking ship. That future West Pointer Boyd McKinney and policeman's son Hugh Farler, seeing the need for reform in the fourth grade at Shafor, came in time to see that Bean kept his chewing gum behind his ear for two hours and five minutes. Bill Pickrel entered Harman at the beginning of the fourth grade. After the play about Stone Age People Happy Fluhart, Sug Kiefaber and Bob Cook honored the class with their presence. Jack O'Hearn, Carolyn Trusler, and Mary Patricia Ann Poeppelmeier, otherwise known as Patty, joined the ranks at Shafor. Shirley Kirkpatrick and Don Fox came to struggle with the other fifth graders in the first attempt at French at Harman. Jane Strong migrated to Harman to battle against her comrades in kickball at the Oakwood athletic field. Greer began his dramatic career as the father in Byrd's Christmas Carol. Our first money making project was The Little Princess. Dr. Peter Jund, known to most teachers as Lois, Jane Hunter, Betsy Byrd, and Dorothy Leyes came to graduate with Shafor's sixth grade class. Page twentyfeigltt History of the Class of 1939 By this time the little bomblets had grown into bombfbombs and decided to unite in the Junior High School along with Dave Smith and Mary Elizabeth Keogh. The novelty of having the boys and girls separated had no effect on the developing acquaintance of Patty and Dave. Deciding that Oakwood wasn't such a bad place after all, Ruth Langley returned in the eighth grade. This same year Lissa Perky came from New York, later to be' come the Goddess of Liberty. Winnie Trimbach arrived just in time to see Charlotte Shedd take off for distant places fand was Billy Walter disappointedlj And remember how the girls all flocked to Mr. Wood's class? T. J. was quite a thrill! To add a little army atmosphere to the institution Bill Greene flew in to meet Charles Schuler, Marjorie Harroll, and Dick Pohl, not a cat, in the big event of the ninth year-Happy's graduation dance. just before we left the Junior High we learned that the honor of best allfround girl and best allfround boy went to Patty and Dave respectively. Mr. Zook pulled the trigger, and the class of '39 was shot into the Senior High to be taken under the wings of Mr. Claggett and Mr. Lewis. Floundering around in the big halls we discovered some lovely braids and found Pat Mansur under them. Delighting with us in the use of bigger lockers were Art Mess, that influential journalist Rickrack Rickey fwith a floy floyj, Tom Simons, and O. B. Johnson who furnished plenty of good football talent and laughs. Pat Powers and Carol Hopkins glided in from the field to be with us this year. With the approaching commencement Bob Wentzel and Bill Runyan, having tried many different classes, decided to stay with the class of '39, Jim Krug stopped in at Oakwood on his way to Culver, while Bill Lewis stayed to display his colorful shirts. Detroit favored us with Gary Williams who took the class by storm while Terre Haute sent Mary Elizabeth Taylor. In our junior year we proved our business ability to the nonplussed teachers with two bang-up rummage sales. Quote: You can never sometimes tell what you least expect the most. Unquote. Thanks, Mr. Crum. Pat Powers, who spent her junior year in Virginia, returned in time to greet Studo Ruml in contrast to Stupo Feinerer, Charlotte Shedd, Grace Fuller, Helen Rice, and Don Vv'ells. A crash occurred in November when plane number 10969 Oakwood came to the rescue of plane number 32569 Dayton and brought back Bill Stockstill, Don Welch, Marjorie Snow, Phil Weisman, who does a good job of living up to his name-wise man, and Dorothy Daneman. As we glance back over our last year at Oakwood we recall such delightful experiences and escapades as our undefeated football season, Thanksgiving Senior Victory Swing Session, HifY, Girls' League, Tau Beta, and Girl y Reserve meetingsg the lights going out at the dedication of the new Wright Library, basketball conflicts-both varsity and intramurals X ftoo bad Doc's Dunces couldn't challenge the growlers to see who j W really is the championl. h ka Having completed our ground work we are now ready A a ks .I to make our first solo flights, each of us aiming for a new T jk tw K l and different star.

With them -' is Dale Moffett, that talented musician to whom Benny Goodman recently gave his title of The King of Swing. Upon hearing a terrific noise in the rear of the ship, we are told that the newest experiment of Ken Arn, Bill Pickrel, and Stanley Jones just exploded behind their backs.

Betsy Byrd has passed into a dead faint because of the smoke from Jack Lee's big, black cigar. Jack is having his hair cut by Harold Jacobson, the illustrious barber. Our friend, Bob Wentzel, now a bookie, is taking bets from Marjorie Snow, Doro' thy Tate, and Alice Hirsch, wellfknown gamblers. Unimpressed by anything about them, Mr. Thomas Walkup and his wife, the former janet Breidenbach, are smiling at us with that contented look of matrimonial bliss on both their faces. All voices are drowned out now by a quartette made up of Bill Barr, Kenny Israel, Bill Husmann, and Bob Cook. They are practicing My Adeline for the reunion. Their admiring audience is Tubby Talbot, Betty Routzahn, Frances Linder, Charlotte Shedd, Marie Merrill, and Virginia Fisher, all showgirls who are looking for Daddies to whom they can give their hearts. Watching Dave Connelly knit his fifth pair of socks is O. B. johnson, now great lover of the screen and matinee idol. O. B.'s press agent, Tom Simons, picks up Dave's stitches for him. Monsieur Ward McCally is giving Doris Hostetter and Carol Hopkins a special permanent wave which he himself invented and perfected. Happy Fluhart is busily engaged in tutoring Bill Greene and Boyd McKinney. With Happy's able tutoring, they hope to enter West Point. We wonder. After being interrupted by Greer Marechal, who is practicing up on his volley ball, we go in search for old faces. Here's an old one-remember Jack Gates? He's a prominent business man and head of the Gates Garter Corporation. Louise Clement is smiling, not only because after ten years she is going to see her old beer jacket, but also because she recognizes amid a tangle of arms and legs, jack O'Hearn, the conf Page tlurtyftwo Stratosphere Flight tortionist. She also recognizes Mary Liz, Taylor, the chief cook for this occasion and the official taster, Muriel Musser, who is assisted in her work by Marjorie Krompf hardt, the carrier of the big spoon. Occupied by the strange pastime of moving their arms in a backwardsfforwards movement are Dick Fuller, proprietor of the FullerfUp Filling Station, and his able heckler, Bill Liming. Sitting beside them is the world's bestfdressed man, A. Mess, Jr., who is watching Bean Shannon run his midget auto racer up and down the aisle. We are puzzled by the peculiar gymnastics of Marjorie Harroll and Dot Leyes but are soon told that they are simply practicing for the six day bicycle races which they plan to enter in July. To add to the rumpus, Bill Stockstill is pounding music out of a toy piano, while Walter McLaren puts the chorus of his new night club through its routine. Helen Oliver, Betty Bayley, Dot Daneman, and Marjorie Kronour try to control the stumbling steps. Meanwhile Leo Cetone sits quietly drawing the profile of Woodie Standish, successor to John Barrymore. However, Leo is disturbed by the glassblower, jimmy Priest, who is making souvenirs for the reunion. He is causing a draft across the back of Leo's neck. Deep in conversation are Mary Jane Stein, Esther Murlin, and Pat Mansur. With Esther's ability to write cleverly, Mary Jane's snappy ideas, and Pat's expert drawing these three are planning a campaign to advertise the newest model of their product-Cousin Katie's Cuspidors. They are interrupted a minute as Glamour Girl Buena Greer stops to talk to them with her new Southern accent. Over in one small corner we just discovered the newlyweds, Man Mountain Dean and his bride, the former Sug Kiefaber. They are chatting with Bob Gray and Wentz Ruml, who are playing jacks, just practising up for the forthcoming jack contest. At this point Carolyn Trusler's hyena call is heard. Carolyn assists Clarence Shultheis in the capture of big game in the West Indies. Beside us are Pat Powers and Jane Strong, renowned scientists, knitting woolen mittens for their experimental guinea pigs. Suddenly there is a loud scream as Shirley Kirkpatrick's seven little cherubs catch sight of their Aunt Phyl Stanley and Uncle Louie standing on the ground surrounded by their family of ten. To the rescue come the charming stewardesses-Ginny Boyles, Lissa Perky, and Helen Rice. Mary E. Keogh, who is head of a prefkindergarten school, consults her faculty-Patty Poep' pelmeier, Barbara Legler, Eleanor Smith, and Lois Jund-who approach Kirkie to drum up a little business. Dave Prugh is not bothered by the heated discussion, but goes on writing his opening speech, for he is to be the master of ceremonies at our reunion. ,' He has able assistants in Phil Weisman and Calvin Winslow.

Naturally, as most people, I think it was unfortunate that it had to happen, especially to the prospective graduates. I believe that it could have been prevented, but perhaps this instance will serve as a corrective and preventative. for any similar situation in the future. Philip Weisman .' The closing of the Dayton schools was to me indicative of an inadequate civic pride, of the extreme shortfsightedness of Dayton's masses, of poor administration, and of possible political intrigue. Our citizens must be educated to a realization of the necessity of maintaining our educational standards on a level with those of comparable communities. What are your opinions concerning Hitler? Lois fund: Hitler has undoubtedly done a great deal for the German people by raising the living standard, giving people faith and courage, and occupying the minds of the youth. He has, however, like all dictators, overslipped his own aims in order to keep before the public eye. All in all, the German people love and respect him, and though they are restricted to some extent, they are given much in return. David Prugh: Although Adolf Hitler may be somewhat deficient in the sheer brilliance usually characteristic of dictators, he undoubtedly has the complete lack of scruples which is so necessary for a dictator to hold his footing. In view of recent developments, I would say that Hitler is an egotistical, power' drunk maniac who has developed a dictatorial complex to such an extent that he not only believes himself to be supreme in the control of his own immediate world, but also believes that, regardless of what justihcation he may give to the public concerning his conquests, no nation or nations will dare question his right or might. Which movies did you like best this year? Pat Mansu'r.' At last a real thriller comes to Dayton- The Hound of the Baskervilles. It had my hair standing on end! Romance- Love Affair. It made even unemotional me cry-it had to be good to do that! Humor- You Can't Take It With You. Every character put much into the story. It will be some time before I'l1 ever see anything as riotously funny as this movie. Bean Sharmon: Boomfboom type- Dodge City. I thought I was in Day' ton's thrill house . . . excellent movie . . . Humorous type- Room Service. Me and Woodchuck enjoyed every min- ute of it . . . Woodie laughed the loudest. Do you think young men should be trained as airplane pilots? Patty Poeppelmeier: Certainly some training and knowledge of how to handle a plane would do the individual no harm and would in many, if not in most cases, do good. For our own protection in the event of a future war, if for no other reason, I believe that training as air pilots would not be amiss for the present younger generation. Woodie Standish: The airplane is the most important machine of this age. Since this is true we need experienced men to ily planes both in war and in com' mercial transit. We need trained pilots. Page ,thiftyji six NTERRA FIRMAH flvy Orationj With the planting of this ivy, we, the youth of a democracy, are thrust upon a hard, merciless world, a world that seems to take a malicious delight in tearing itself to bits. We are approaching that time in life when we leave the protection that has been afforded us by society. Since we are the youth of a democracy, we are entering upon a life of business or of further study. Were we not citizens of a democracy, we might be entering now upon a period of intensive military education. We should spend the next two years of our lives learning how a soldier fights, lives, and protects himself. Instead of living away from home in the comfortable dormitory of one of our fine universities, we might be sleeping in the cramped confines of some underground fort. Instead of learning to be men and women, we should be learning to become cogs in a great military machine, instead of learning to live, we should be learning to kill, and die! As we look at this tiny ivy plant and then glance at this broad expanse of brick up which this plant must climb, we realize with what strength, what patience, what tenacity nature has endowed it. Would it not be easier for the plant to crawl here along the ground instead of attempting its tortuous climb? Yes, perhaps, it would be easier. But an ivy plant cares not for ease. It spends its life struggling upward toward the light. What is the analogy between the climbing of this plant and the expanding lives of the youth of America? just this: we, too, have a wall on which to climb, a wall to aid us in our journey. Yet, this wall must be surmounted before we can reach the light. It might be easier for us to crawl along the ground where we are easily trampled upon by destructive forces. It might be easier to spend the next two years learning to become cogs, with every minute of our lives ordered and planned, It might be easier, for then we would not have to think. But we want to think! We want to struggle upward toward the light! We want to be free and unrestrained in what we do! Therefore, we must take good care of our wall. We must preserve it, understand it, and learn to appreciate it. If our wall of democracy crumbles, we shall go with it, even as this ivy plant would be torn and crushed if this wall were to crumble to the ground, nothing but a few torn fragments beneath a pile of bricks. -Greer Mavefchal -Bill Greene Page thirty-six X, X Qi Ni EUUOWRT-87 ' .Nw irklgfs ...ngnunnlvhlf TN IN STRUCTQRS RANK HIGH The teaching staff of Oakwood is unique in many respects. Because of the system of placing students in three sections according to grades, there are often as many as three or four classes in the same suhject during the same period. This necessitates al' most every teacher's heing ahle to teach more than one suhject. The result is a small faculty whose teaching ahilities are varied. In the pictures in this section, most of thc teachers are grouped according to the field of their major teaching. Standards of faculty memhers at Oakwood are high. At least threeffourths of them have acquired masters' degrees, all from leading universities. Summers are often spent in preparation for advanced degrees, acting as camp counselors, teaching summer school, writing texthooks, or doing other types of professional work. Several teachers conduct and attend outside classes or appear on radio programs. Students of Oakwood have an excellent advantage in working with such a superior highfschool faculty.

Good coaching and team work combined to enable the team to build up an undefeated season. After many calamities our girls' hockey team finished an exciting season. The boys' basketball team followed with its usual good record and then advanced into the semiffinals in the dis' trict championship. The girls' basketball team brought back the old saying-Y-9'Our girls can't be beat. Before spring sports got started, the badminton and pingfpong tournament was introduced as a new event this year. Both boys and girls alike joined in this sport to make it a success. Rain, rain, rain, and more rainfthat is almost the entire record of spring sports as the Acorn goes to press, although Oakwood has come through opening events in fine shape.

More and more boys are taking up the sport which is rapidly becoming Oakwood's most popular athletic feature. This year the two outstanding teams were by all odds the great Growlers and the historic Bean Boys. The Growlers, a Hrstfyear squad, put one of the strongest teams of recent years on the floor. Headed by big Bob Wentzel, a twofyear varsity man, the Growlers annexed eleven out of twelve games for a nearfperfect season. Champs were Capt. Wentzel, O'Hearn, Stockstill, Rickey, Krug, and Weisman. Their one defeat was administered by the other class A iinalist, the classy Bean Boys. The Bean Boys, under the capable direction of the illustrious Bean Shannon, were in 1934 the founders of the great intramural system at Oakwood, and they have always been serious contenders, and finalists for two successive years. Members of the runnersfup were Capt. Shannon, O. B. Johnson, Mess, Lewis, Israel, and Lee. Another outstanding team was that of Woodie Standish-the Chuck's Clucks. Perhaps the most colorful ball club, the Clucks also possessed a good attack and a strongfarm defense. The Panthers had a powerful cage aggregate in Capt. Steiner, D. McCally, D. Conf nelly, D. Pohl, Rollins, Hostetter and Stewart. Connelly and Pohl could have made any allfintramural team. The other oustanding outiit was that of Farler's Flops, a perennial threat. This club will 'be sorely missed next year. The remaining teams were composed of underclassmen who will form the nucleus of the league next year.
