Hoffman. chairman of the advisers, has taken time from his printing press to advise the boys of S-18. Miss Isabel Flynn has guided the girls of S-21 for SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS Blow the bugle! Raise the flag! Here are the officers of the twelfth regiment! The com- mander-in-chief of this division is Irwin Hartzell, who led us through a successful campaign last year and has continued with such good work that he deserves a Distinguished Leadership Cross. The staff of officers under our commander consists of Pat Reese, our efficient vice-president: Ted Iarnes, our capable secretary: and Bob Prugh, our treasurer, who proved able as chief guard of the ammunition. Many soldiers were taken from the Oakwood battle front and shipped to other stations, but in spite of this depletion of our ranks, the twelfth regiment has emerged from the fray with colors flying. The entire regiment has co-operated with its leaders, and as military analysts we may predict that they will be victorious in every future cam- paign. Twelve Campaigns these many years. Mr. Oliver N. Iohnson's his- tory classes are forgotten in an attempt to control the boys of S-22. Miss Bess Hayner of S-l has led her girls through all their trials and tribulations and has become a loyal friend to all. We ap- preciate our advisers' efforts and will try to live up to their expectations in the years to come.

FIRST ROW: McBride, I. Shroyer, VanPatten, R. Jones, G. Stnycos, li. Graaf, E. Gerhard. Highly-trained Eleventh Hegimentals blitz- krieged through their next-to-last year, overcom- ing and surmounting scholastic and athletic obstructions, and now they are ready to assume the important task of being seniors. As C. O.'s, the class commissioned Lanier Russell, president: Dorothy Bettcher, vice-presi- dent: Annabel Romig, secretary: and Neal Web- ber, treasurer. This big four helped to see that the official duties of the class progressed smooth- ly. The captains of the regiment, sometimes called homeroom advisers, are Mr. McClellan, our newly acquired mathematical mind: Captain Brown, quite an authority on history as well as a school politician: Mrs. Parker, who believes in keeping her homeroom decorated: and Miss Baker, who, we think, can out-translate anyone else in these parts in Latin. In football, the Eleventh Regiment boasted a pony backfieldf' composed of Bruce Epstein, Rufie Iones, Turk Hughes, and Ed Graef, who 26 did an excellent job of relief after the first string had retired. Our mighty eleventh regiment grid- ders were Gene Hughes, Turk Hughes, Bill Iames, Lance Russell, and Bob Spayd. Eleventh Regiment trainees Gene Hughes, Bill Iames, Bufie Iones, Turk Hughes, Bob Hendrichs, and Ed Graef went all-out for basketball, form- ing the entire reserve team: while on the lighter side there was much intramural activity, carried on by Fraley's Freaks, Stoeck's Wrecks, All Stars, and Shroyer's Destroyers. Many Eleventh Regiment femmes found hockey fine physical training, for on any day Audrey Benner, Mary Louise Walker, Nancy Howland, Dodie Shank, and Mary and Ann Lewis could be seen flying down the field and attacking the ball in V formation. Public oratory technicians Bob Spayd. Louise Pool, Barbara Barnett, Ed Graef, and Lanier Rus- sell gained both acclaim and N. F. L. points by brilliant performances and steady hard work. Highly Trained Troops Leading military minds of the regiment were Lois Shank, Annabel Romig, Bob Hendrichs, Bob Spayd, and Ann Lewis, who have fought a hard fight for their leadership, but who welcome anyone willing to challenge them. To keep morale sky-high, the class had a hay-ride: but when no hay wagons flew into view, it was quickly changed into a barn party with square dancing, the Virginia reel, and hot dogs as the main features. Reveille buglers and other martial musicians from junior class ranks were Ed Gerhard, Bob Hendrichs, Herbert Hickok, Keith Robinson, and Don Stork: all were among the most able and victorious veterans of the band. Highly specialized abilities were shown by several members of this illustrious company. Barbara Barnett's fingers skillfully manipulate the ivories, Tom Stenger and Don Santel build model airplanes, and Bruce Epstein and Gene Hughes are noted for their homeroom noises: while guardhouse lawyers Alan Horton and Dick Candor find that barracks are an excellent place for extemporaneous debating. Girls of S-13 miss their makeshift mirror in S-6. The whole homeroom gave out with gasps when Mary Walker strolled in with a huge con- traption on her broken nose. Other goings-on included: last-second glances at chemistry books. Gingie Piausch's trying to keep the WAACS quiet and soliciting for Girls' League funds at the same time, and Virginia Cooper's urging her Willys to the door of the barracks, with five to fifteen Oak- woodites usually bursting out like bombshells. After five years of rigorous training and hard drill the toughened Eleventh Regiment is ready for mental and physical warfare of any sort with which they might be confronted in their senior year. l 4' QD FIFTH ROW: Markley, Campbell, S.

With a grim determination the Tenth Regi- ment marched to the scholastic and athletic front to make a good showing, even under heavy fire. Faced with new obstacles such as ancient history, plane geometry, Latin II, and French II, the going was tough: but for most recruits it provided the incentive for success. Heading the class in the front ranks are Charles Thomas, president: Pauline Kuhl, vice- president: lack Ricketts, secretary: and Patty Spry, treasurer. The commissioned leaders of the com- panies are Mr. Crum, who is noted for the scientific gadgets which he bestows upon his barracks: Mr. Dougherty, whose division of edu- cation is threatened by priorities: Miss Shepler. excellent in taking attendance as she was former- ly the secretary of the school: and Mrs. Russell, who really believes that a stitch in time saves nine. The public speaking department is proud of the Tenth Regiment with its contribution of An- 28 drene Moore, Dick Larson, Patricia Trace, Ellen Light, Anne Seasholes, and Virginia Trick. Those Weren't P. T. boats in a skirmish in the gym after school: they were only the boys' intramural basketball battles. Among the teams were Tate's Taters, and Olch's Oysters: the latter was captained by junior mess sergeant Dan Olch. Starring in football were Iohn Hutchins and Larry Nelson, both of whom saw much action at the front. Other trainees out for football were Thomas Anderson, George Floridis, Howard Fricke, Gus Hallum, Albert lssleib, Bob White. Malcom Stahl, and Sheldon Rohlfs, all of whom showed the pugilistic potentialities needed to be- come Oakwood's best blockbusters next year when football season rolls around. Top students, admired by their companions in arms for that certain something called brains. are Harriet Snow, lane Wilder, Ellen Light, Anne Seasholes, and Gordon Sinks. Rookies of the Upper Ranks In hockey Barbara Christian, Ann Church- man, Ianie Wilder, and Anne Seasholes proved good enough at pushin' the pill to be awarded medals in their sophomore year. These medals assumed the form of hockey letters. Stirring up action among the spectators dur- ing the games was Dick Larson, the leetle cheer leader with the beeg voice. In another field, that of the military band, the Tenth Regiment ranks second with eleven members, who make with the music during the swing sessions. Bill Potter finds that he gets all his necessary daily exercise carrying the bass drum, while Malcolm Stahl has found it no easy task to carry and play a weighty baritone horn. Girls' hobbies were generally the same: col- lecting records, sighs, and men from various places: while Bob White specialized in hog- calling: Bill Potter, in tropical fish: and Tom Rout- song, in airplane models. The whole class was definitely in favor of blackouts, because it interrupted studying land for other reasonsl. None of these tenth regiment draftees will ever forget: Bill Harris shouting Robbery . . .. Harriet Snow dashing in just before the last bell ....Retha Lochner and Beta Riecken-members of the band .... Martha Clare Rogers, like many other tenth regiment members, working during the Christmas rush .... Many Tenth Regiment rookies taking part in the operetta and other music department work .... The number of Tenth Regiment WAACS who had first choice on the hearts of the senior and junior boys. Although they have plowed through trials and tribultations and have been subjected to stern disciplinary measures, the soldiers of this division are sorry to see the close of such an eventful year.

FIRST ROW: Atwell, Pottle, Kaiser, The top ranking soldiers of the junior high have speedily paced through an eventful year and are ready to break camp and take up their posts in the senior high in the fall. After three years' training, these recruits can look far back through their army field glasses and see science, social science, civics, English, biology, and alge- bra courses that they have mastered or at least those are the courses they are leaving behind them. Since it was their last call to have a class football team, the boys put forth their best efforts, polished up a shining record of five wins, and landed all the opponents on the scrap drive. The team, with Bruce King, Dean Shroyer, and Bob Bishop as stars, kept the opponents guessing with offensive deception and tough defensive armor. The girls also finished up their term in the junior high with a successful hockey team. Mrs. Parker, adviser, and Phyl Wollenhaupt, captain, kept 30 their soldiers on the firing line and saw that the gun crews were well supplied with ammunition. Armed with their martial horns, Ninth Regi- mentals Iohn Boyd, Pete Davis, Bob Scheibe, Eugene Stewart, Virginia Gould, Audrey Ludwig and Nancy Nash met the opposition in the ranks of the band. Real talent on the violin was shown by Virginia Bridge, who played an excellent solo in the Christmas program. As noncoms the class elected Dean Shroy- er, president: Bruce King, vice-president: and Tom Rambo, secretary-treasurer. The commis- sioned officers are Mr. Bigelow, who is able to give his recruits top baseball tips: Mr. Sanders, educated in the fine arts of radio broadcasting from the inside out: Miss MacDonald, strict in not letting her trainees type with the hunt-and-peck system: and Miss Weber, famous for her knowl- edge of art. l Top Kicks of Leading grade getters are Diane Heckert, Bruce King, and Martha Iones, all of whom have found that it takes work to be among the top recruits of their regiment. The honor of getting into active duty in the front lines of public speaking in their first year of eligibility goes to Peter Kuntz and Steve Bernard, who in the future will be forced to strafe and shell verbally anyone challenging their superiority. Again the girls' hobbies concern animals, as Nan Reese and Georgie Matthews have been saving glass dogs, while Ianie Nelson's hobby is horses. Boys' hobbies are model railways, the Infantry model airplanes, photography, chemistry, elec- tricity, golf and girls. Quite a versatile bunch! The ninth regiment hockey team has mental target practice every day, with Mrs. Parker as that target, but it's all in fun. In the girls' bar- racks one can often hear Audrey Bongartz say- ing, Oh, my word! or Georgie Matthews' Are you kidding? At the same time the boys are busy in their barracks making and flying paper airplanes. With this we leave the Ninth Regiment. This fine, well-trained battalion will soon be able to take its place in the upper ranks of the senior high. FIFTH ROW: J. Crawford, R. Burke, Condit, E. Walker, S. Gruss, Behm, Teigler, A. Ludwig.

Filled with vim and vigor the Eighth Regi- ment is anxious and ready for action of any kind. Some have felt the burdens of guard duty in the form of picking up papers after school for Mr. Zook and Mr. Watts: but. even so, their vitality has not been affected. Encouraging, advising, and aiding their re- spective companies, Captains Kuhns, Marsh, Steindorf, and Lesser are invaluable in starting their trainees off to classes each morning. Cap- tain Marsh assists his crew of highly trained angels in military math, while it is suspected that a large part of commissioned officer Kuhns' great store of knowledge comes from the daily reading of the Readers' Digest during the morn- ing homeroom period. Miss Lesser's girls always are correct in their use of military terminology and correct English, while Miss Steindorf's library homeroom is filled to overflowing with knowledge. 32 The officers-elect of the Eighth Regiment are lack Graei, president: Raymond Spiller, vice- president: and Sam Hudd, secretary-treasurer. Highest ranking mental bombardiers, Albert Reu- ther, Mary Claggett, Polly Harrison, and Tom Linxweiler, find that they have a high percentage of direct hits in all their subjects. The snappy Eighth Regiment football team, which stars Iack Graef, Sam Hudd, Bob Swartz- trauber, and Hoby lngle, shows great possi- bilities for future campaigns. Marilyn Smith, Ginny Wise, Nancy Nutt, Wendy Smith, Mary lane Wills, and others spend their six-hour passes playing hockey. Both boy and girl train- ees keep fit during the winter campaign with basketball, which proves an excellent substitute for the field battles, and Mr. Cook has found many prospective commandos in his training courses. Up the Chevron Ladder The Eighth Regiment shows its great love for color and activity by having the largest num- ber of participants in the school band-eleven! As a girl member of this organization, Iudy Griswold has become quite proficient at playing Reveille on her flute, while Tom Benkert is literally surrounded by his task of playing the bass horn. Georgie Ozias is also well known in martial music circles, as she was the youngest soloist in the Christmas program. Finding their homework easy, many Eighth Regiment trainees have plenty of spare time for their unusual hobbies that provide mental relax- ation. Ray Spiller draws cartoons, Marilyn Yoder collects antique cups, Ioan Schadel and Iudy Griswold collect dog pictures, Merrill Alexander collects coins, and model street-car construction interests lack Keenan. Mary Weatherspoon col- lects antique dolls, Nancy Nutt collects the heart of a certain senior, and Evelyn Gunklach, Polly Harrison, Iulie Dye, and Nancy Bowers like horses, both alive and in pictures. Eighth Regiment boys show excellence in guerilla warfare outside the doors of I-5 and I-3. They are not so good when M. P. Mack Hummon is walking down the halls. Outside the girls' homerooms, a surprising number of coloratura sopranos can be heard practicing, but the music is usually along the solid side. I I U if uclisu 47 ' ,I l FOURTH ROW: Parrott. J.

One year's intensive training has left a marked difference on the rookies: intelligence and definite signs of future leadership can be discerned in many ranks. Captains Martin, Moore, Stilwell, and Camp- bell drilled discipline into their companies, and a definite decline could be noticed in free-for-all hand grenade fights in the form of blackboard erasers, although after every snowfall, artillery practice could be seen and heard in the stadium fort. Captain Stilwell's all-girl company manages to keep itself tidy, although the Captain confis- cated all visible combs seen in the barracks. Captain Martin sees to the spiritual training of his company by having scripture readings every morning while Captain Moore works hard keep- 34 ing his company in order and out of the guard house, better known as the Iunior High Office. Sharing the executive honors of the class are Dick Becker, president: Wayne Hanson, vice president: and Glenn Ray Walters, secretary- treasurer. In the science of intellectual achieve- ment Dick Becker, Bob Brabson, Carol Ruckgaber, and Ellen Mcllroy set a fast pace for other rookies. The engineers' corps and the chemical divi- sion is aptly represented by four experimenting members of the Seventh Regiment: Gordon Smith, Iack Wilson, George Murray, and Dick Hadley. Musical talent was outstanding among the re- cruits. Ted Eichelberger occasionally played the piano over radio station WLW, and Marcia Pick- well also showed that the raw recruits couldn't be outdone in rhythm. Penny Light played the violin, while George Murray, Bill Webb, and Irwin Harlamert marched in the same ranks with long- standing band members. Chrisoula Davis and Pamela Alexander were really on their toes in the line of ballet dancing. Newly Enlisted Recruits Global war brought with it an interest in stamp collecting for recruits Dick Becker, Iohn Hoover, and Don Garner: while Katherine Young and Susan Simons have gone to the unusual for their hobby of perfume bottles and glass paper- weights, respectively. Air-minded recruits con- structed flying model planes, some of which saw active duty tfor instruction purposes only, of course.l Other talented girls do oil painting in their spare moments. In sports Bo Polk, Iohn Houk, and Dick Becker star on the Seventh Regiments football machine. The whole team strongly believes that defeat is a great teacher. The girls have a high percentage of conscriptees on the hockey team, FOURTH ROW: C n. h K. Y C. J. ih showing that they are earnestly building stamina for the hard years to come. Their first school Halloween party was a great success with the different companies having a war museum, a fish pond, and a guessing game to keep the rookies from becoming dull with the rigorous drill. Donations for the Red Cross, Community Chest, and Thanksgiving and Christmas baskets were the worthy gifts from the Seventh Regiment to the less fortunate. The first year's basic training comes to a close, giving one a chance to realize what fine soldiers these rookies will make after five more years of hard drill.

Girls have filled clerking positions at Elder's, Rike's, Tha1's, and Donen- feld's, while others have gone in more for restaurant work. The N. C.

A. - Planners of Military Strategy The general headquarters of all military activities at Oakwood High School was to be found in the old library each Wednesday morn- ing of this year. This was the time when our commanding officers, the members of the Oak- wood Student Association, met to discuss their many successful projects. This year the O. S. A. was led by Bud Mc- Cune, president, and his staff which included Matey McCally, vice-president: Betty Lange, secretary: and Rufus Iones, treasurer. f The chief function was the starting of the Victory Corps. This organization has many divi- sions and in some way was supposed to reach every student in the school. Among these divisions were health and drill, first aid, home nursing, war bonds and stamps, student forums, pre-flight training, machine shop and welding, map reading and charting, coun- selling, radio, salvage, civilian defense, patriotic music, shop math, and service honor roll. The C. A. A. l Mr. Lewis instructs the prospec- tive flyers of Oakwood in the intricacies of the science of the airplane. Here the boys pay close attention to the plane model which is used to prove points in Civil Aeronautics class. adviser of this new corps was Captain Thomas D. Brown, who overcame all difficult obstacles encountered on the road to organization. However, the Victory Corps was not the only project attempted by the O. S. A. It sold booster tickets for various athletic contests, gave a beau- tiful service flag to the high school, made a list of Oakwood graduates in the armed services, presented a student forum on the subject of the Victory Corps, and performed many other maneuvers. High point of every Monday morning as- sembly during the basketball season was the announcement of the intramural scores by Bud McCune and the roars of approval or disapproval that always followed. All in all, the O. S. A. of 1942-3 helped to bring the war emergency home to the students. It stirred our patriotic spirits and made us go all out to speed the ultimate victory. 42 Girls League Christmas Party Miss Hayner's Red Cross Class Army Benefits Throughout the year many entertaining camp shows were given for the benefit of the students. Besides bringing excellent speakers to us, the school presented various other types of enter- tainment. Chief among these was the program given by the blind. At this time Pierce Knox, blind xylophonist, thrilled everyone by playing stirring marches, rhythmic melodies, and a patriotic medley of service songs. Following him Miss Ruth Snyder, also blind, showed us how blind people read books written in braille and also how to copy them in this language. Generous students contributed S110 to a fund helping these unfortunate people gain reading material. The parade of speakers for the year was led by Mr. Arthur Horrocks of the Goodyear Rubber Company, who spoke to us on the timely subject, Youth Looks to the Future. Other orators coming to camp included Mr. E. I. Ashbaugh and Mr. Renollet, who interested us in Vocations with Emphasis on Education and Victory Gardens, respectively. Community Chest Chairmen During the seventh periods on Fridays and on rainy Mondays, interesting motion pictures were shown to the student body. Generosity was also a keynote at Fort Oak- wood this year. Philanthropic members of the senior battalion gave a total amount of S135 to the Community Chest while in the junior high 554.60 was contributed. Chairmen of this man- euver were Bob Spayd and Harold Ieffrey. Gen- eral Claggett announced that this was the second highest amount given in the history of the school. The drive was led by the platoon from homeroom S-18, which compiled a total of S2O.2O, more than one dollar per soldier in the room. Our officers also gave straight from their hearts, since their average total was 39.13, a very respectable figure. Another important drive was for the benefit of the American Red Cross, and was carried out successfully by draftees Becky Knapp and Martha Iones. During this campaign generous members of the senior high school contributed over S50. Senior High Assembly 1 4 FOURTH ROW: Bill James, S o r e n s e n. Vanderberg, B. Stroop. THIRD ROW: Stahl.

At the beginning of the year, Hi-Y found itself without a commanding officer, as Mr. Iames Dickinson, last year's leader, is now an ensign in the United States Navy. But finally the boys found a very capable adviser in strategic affairs in Iudge Frederick Howell, who met with them every Wednesday night thereafter. Of course, at the beginning of the campaign. the actives held the initiation for the rookies. Paddles, cigars, tobacco, molasses, etc., were again brought into use: and the draftees took orders patiently from their superiors. The first maneuver was the Hi-Y Scrap Drive. Two trucks were hired, and the boys collected a total of six truckloads of scrap, sold it, and presented the money to the Oakwood Civilian Defense division. Probates were inducted again at the end of the first semester, and the Hi-Y pep assembly was another successful engagement. A few military balls were arranged by the members throughout the year. The best of these was given at the end of the school term. In military games this group also excelled. They went all the way to the finals in the city Hi-Y basketball tournament, defeating Roosevelt and Stivers before Fairview finally Won a hard- fought victory. The company saw much action throughout the year and completed the campaign with vic- tory flags flying. Hi-Y draftees suffered all the indignities of recruits during initiation.

The girls marched through Oak- wood bombarding houses with war pamphlets on the saving of tin cans and grease. Soon after this project was finished, the company had a Christmas party. Squadron Leader Eleanor Brown led the girls in the project of cutting out stories and novels from magazines for the soldiers in hospitals. The collection of old silk and nylon hose for the war effort was popular, too. GIRLS' LEAGUE COUNCIL Peach Pohl announced the dance to be given February 12. Everyone who attended had a nice time and the mess ha1l was quite popular. The regiments of Girls' League planned and had a Mothers' Tea on March 30. The buck privates were introduced to their officers of the day at the Big Sister Party in May. The entire army of girls enjoyed themselves more than ever at the last project of the year. Each girl has been given a summer furlough but eagerly looks for- ward to rejoining the company next September. FOURTH ROW: H. Snow, V. Rausch. THIRD ROW: Kanouse, Knapp. SEC- OND ROW: E Light, S.

Under the capable leadership of Ralph Hartzell, conductor, this group of forty- two draftees undertook many fine projects to boost morale. Because of gas and tire rationing the band could not produce its martial airs at football con- tests away from home, but here in familiar sur- Veterans Tom Murray, Ed Gerhard. Bob Schiebe, and Herbert Blome give out with some close har- mony for the instruction of rool-:ies to the musical ranks. 46 roundings they thrilled all of us with difficult and tricky maneuvers at every game. Also in September they played at the Mont- gomery County Fair, and a few months later they displayed their musical Wares at the Oak- Wood Bond Rally. Officers for the band this year Were: Tom Murray, president: Bob Hendrichs, vice-president: Ed Gerhard, secretary: and Herbert Hickok and Iack Ricketts, librarians. The band lost 24 members from last year's battalion, but it still maintained its high esprit- de-corps in spite of this. All the musical divisions joined ranks to participate in the Dayton and Montgomery Coun- ty Solo and Ensemble Contest, held at Roosevelt High School on April 9 and 10. As usual our forces won high awards for their efforts and re- turned triumphant from the field of battle. Thus the outstanding musicians of our camp for this year include: Tom Murray, David Olch, Nancy Blue, Barbara Mansur, Ned Cofer, Ianie Phillips, Kathie Meacham, Ken Pratt, Iackie Morse, Herbert Blome, Bob Hendrichs, Marion Claunch, Herbert Hickok, Don Stork, Ed Gerhard, Virginia Dissinger, and Barbara Barnett. l-'IFTII ROW: ll.

The annual Christmas program again proved to be a great success, with many difficult compositions being handled brilliantly by this group. They also put on several typical camp shows tor us in assemblies and marched to a few churches throughout the city giving excellent performances. On May 21 the chorus presented an operetta, The Pirates of Penzance, for the school. This was the result of much hard work, and a lot of credit should be given the group for it. ORCHESTRA The activities of the orchestra were some- what limited this year. The chief maneuver was its performance at the annual Christmas pro- gram. For this event the orchestra played the symphonic-styled Christmas Rhapsody by Long. The orchestra also played for the graduation exercises of the junior and senior high schools. STANDING: li.

Public Speakers Relay Vital Messages The National Forensic League Chapter at Oakwood High School battled victoriously through another excellent season this year despite the handicaps of gas rationing and travel restrictions. Under the able leadership of Captain Iohn M. Martin, who, for many years, has been the com- mander-in-chief of speech work at Oakwood, the public speaking corps was able to march suc- cessfully through several tournaments. The first of these was at Fairmont early in the year. Despite their inexperience the company did very well with Barbara Barnett, Bob Spayd, Dick Kearns, and luanita Pohl leading the way. The next big maneuver was the annual Prince of Peace contest. Members drafted for this tourna- ment were Lanier Russell, Bob Spayd, Ed Graef. Barbara Barnett, Dick Kearns, Bonnie Center, Iuanita Pohl, Barbara Kuhlman, Betty Bartels, and Dorothy Gedanic. Bob Spayd and Barbara Barnett were outstanding with Bob reaching the semi-finals and Barbara going to the state finals and finishing in fourth place in the state. Khaki humor was capably taken care of by Privates Lanier Russell and Phil Legler, a ninth grader who won several tirsts in his initial strug- 48 gle. Bill Hovan, Bob Spayd, and Frank McBride were the extemp speakers. Star debaters were Bob Hendrichs and Ed Graef, affirmative: and George Stoycos and Dick Kearns, negative. Dra- matics was supported by Timmie Lewis and a recent draftee, lackie Morse. Of the 50 students selected from all over the U. S., four boys were chosen to represent Oak- wood at the National Student Congress in Indi- ana. They incuded Bill Hovan, Ed Graef, Lanier Russell, and Dick Kearns. The outlook for next year is very bright. The leaders of this essential military organization include Captain Irwin Hartz- ell, president: and his chief lieutenants, Dick Kearns, Bob Spayd, and Ed Graef. New enlistees of this past year include: Caro- lyn Bartels, Mary Behm, Marian Bergen, Frances Brabson, Dick Candor, Ioanne Center, Phyllis Condit, George Floridis, Sue Gruss, Alan Horton, Martha Iones, Bruce King, Peter Kuntz, Philip Legler, Ellen Light, Frank McBride, Andrene Moore, lackie Morse, Ianie Nelson, Nancy Reese, Anne Seasholes, Katherine Shultheis, Harriet Snow, Pat Trace, lane Wilder, and Steve Bernard. gift. One of the chief attributes of Oakwood's senior division this past year was generosity. In addition to their principal class gift given at the end of the school term, this group presented a beautiful service flag to the school during the winter months. When the warm weather and beautiful days rolled around in May, the colorful banner was raised on the flagpole to a position just below that of the United States flag. Every khaki-clad figure of the senior battalion was present at this Dick Kearns, junior. orates with commanding gestures. Irwin Hartzell, senior presi- dent, presents Mr. Claggett with a service flag, a class llllll ceremony, where they heard some of the officers of the senior class deliver short orations appropri- ate for the occasion. The triangular-shaped flag has a white back- ground surrounded by a red border. In the center of the banner there is a blue star containing the number 275 signifying the Oakwood graduates in the armed services. General A. E. Claggett thanked the class heartily and brought out the fact that the flag was a timely and important gift. DEBATE TEAM Bob Hendrichs Ed Graef George Stoycos Dick Kearns l I 49 FIFTH ROVV: F.

This corps had the knack of getting things done while using the smallest amount of time possible. Last December the plans for the year's strategy were started. George Stanley, as editor- in-chief, drafted the general staff and planned the book. Sylvia Reed took charge of the section devoted to the graduating seniors while Iune Dohse handled the class and faculty section. David George ably managed the activities pages, and Bob Newill and Timmie Lewis drew up the battle plans for the boys' and girls' sports sections, respectively. Ianie Phillips, also of the general staff with the rank of copy editor, was in a constant state of war with written material, for it was her job to count characters and fit the copy into the space allotted in the book. Ned Daniels and his staff took efficient charge of all camouflages and art work, Ned Turner commanded the business affairs, and Craig Cowden aided the war plans by mounting many of the pictures. The circulation department was managed by Sam Graybill, while Bud McCune organized the promotion division. Irwin Hartzell hurried every- where conscripting patrons for the Acorn , and Wally McGervey, of the excellent camera corps. took the pictures. Marie Zonars, coordinating editor, was indispensable to all departments. Throughout the battle, Miss Mildred Camp- bell, our new adviser and successor to Miss Goldie Lesser, acted as official interpreter, and in general laid siege to all difficulties. Miss Lou Weber is also awarded a figurative medal for giving up much of her valuable time to help the art editor and his staff solve problems. Members of the staff put in many extra hours trying to beat the dead- Iines and get the military yearbook out according to the strategic pre- campaign planning. 50 O OAKLEAFLET STAFF FOURTH ROVV: Ransom, Lasswell.

Journalists Issue Important Communiques ln the junior high school other draftees joined up for journalistic work. This group led by Bob Scheibe and Fred Breidenbach, published the Oakleaflet, a newspaper widely read by all members of the Oakwood Iunior Regiments. An aggressive staff started this year with a popularity contest designed to acquire subscrip- tions. The award was won by Ioan Crawford. and the subscriptions needed in order to Vote came rolling in with lightning-like rapidity. In the paper itself were interesting articles of all kinds. Interviews from the teachers were suc- cessful, while sports articles were enjoyed by all. The mysterious column, Over the Back Fence, gathered many readers. 51 Quill and Scroll continued its fine work dur- ing the past year under a new leader, Miss Mildred Campbell, who replaced Miss Goldie Lesser. On October 24 at the annual initiation lunch- eon eleven new draftees entered the ranks. Quill and Scroll was commanded this year by George Stanley, president: Mary lane Phillips, vice president: Iune Dohse, secretary: and Marie Zonars, treasurer. The group took part in national contests throughout the year, taking many envious awards. At the end of the semester new draftees were Sam Graybill and Virginia Bausch. All in all, it was an excellent year for this small battalion of the school. O QUILL AND SCROLL FOURTH ROVV: Stanley, Kerr, George. Tlllltll ROW: Znnars, Dohse, Miss Campbell tadviserb.

Completely Armihilating All Opposition Featuring a blitzkrieg unequalled by any other team in the state, Oakwood's forty-second division swept its way deep into enemy territory time and time again to blast records and lead all Ohio high schools in scoring with 419 points. Three-star general Iohnny Sauer led the per- fectly balanced panzer attack. Nominated as one of the best backs in the state, he pulled surprise thrusts and feints, which kept the foe guessing until the final gun. Even so, it was not merely a one-man team. Sauer's colleagues con- sisted of Howard Connie Vanderberg, Gates Thruston, Frank Bud Sorensen, and George Herbert as ball carriers and also one of the heaviest lines ever seen in Oakwood history. The big guns of the line were made up of three excel- lent senior ends: Ted Iames, Norman Tippy Snyder, and Dick Castor: two fast and powerful tackles: lim Curly Laughter and Ned Turner: and three outstanding guards: Nick Davis, Fred Bayley, and Iohn Hutchins: while the center position was held alternately by Bud McCune and Neal Webber. All the Lumberjack boosters were prepared for a winning team for 1942, but they were amazed at the power and scoring ability shown by this bunch. With twelve lettermen returning from last year's team, the 'lacks had experience to spare. Combining a powerful, low-charging line with fast, slippery, hard-driving backs, this aggre- gation moved on Greenville. Vanderberg and LEFT: Mr. Hummon. as- sistant coach: Mr. Cook. coach.

Nick Davis. guard and co-captain I-Ialfback Howard Connie Thruston, excelling on flank attacks divided seven six-pointers between them, scoring four and three touchdowns respectively. When the smoke of battle had cleared away, the 'lacks were undis- puted victors by a margin of 52 points to Green- vil1e's none. Next Wilmington attempted an invasion of the Lumberjack forces, but the Quakers' attack was thrown back, and they suffered a staggering loss in a 59 to 0 scorefest. Piqua opened the action on a new salient for the Lumberjacks. After a mild first quarter the Oakwood machine ground the Indians into the dust. It was the worst defeat Piqua had suf- fered in twelve years. Sauer, meanwhile, crossed the goal line no fewer than five times. Since attack is the most important phase of a conflict, the 'lacks laid siege to Xenia. After a stubborn fight, in which Xenia drew blood early in the game, the Buccaneers were forced to Vanderberg retire on the short end of a 19 to B count. Sauer, Vanderberg, and Thruston each scored in this fracas. The Warriors of Lebanon were next on the list. Calling on the reserves at the half, Oakwood routed the Redskins to the tune of 45 to O. Bearing a grudge from last year's massacre at the hands of Cincinnati Wyoming, the power- house hit the road. A Cincinnati paper said Oakwood was 1ed by Connie Vanderberg and Iohnny Sauer, a pair of terrific backfield men. This seemed to be quite right, as this terrific pair scored three times apiece. Playing one of the best games of the season, Oakwood ran up a 58 to O score and came home well-satisfied. Cold weather partially bogged down the Oakwood attack on Troy: but just as in myth- ology the Trojans were walloped. The score was 40 to 7. Troy's only score came in the last period against Oakwood reserves. SENIOR HIGH FOOTBALL TEAM SECOND ROW: G. Hughes, Herbert, Sorensen, Vanderberg, G. Thruston, John Sauer, Snyder.

Com- piling the highest score since 1930, Oakwood crossed the line at will and won by an overwhelming 66 to 0 count. This game featured a 35-yard run by Tex Harris, who had to fight against the whole Automotive team and hold up his pants at the same time. Other stars were Thruston, Sauer, Vanderberg, Hutchins, and Epstein, who divided 10 touchdowns among them. Early on Thanksgiving morning the supreme clash of the season took place. The Fairmont Dragons left their plows be- hind, washed behind their ears, and fought like demons. Sauer laid down a barrage of passes, Connie Vanderberg's numer- ous end runs throughout the contest set up nearly every scor- ing thrust, and Gates Thruston scored four times on sensational runs through the Dragon secondary. During the first half, however, the Lumberjack Were held to one touchdown, which was scored in the last three seconds of play. From then on, it was all Oakwood. It was evident in the last half that the Dragons were playing out of their class. The final score of 27 to 0 achieved a perfect ending to the first undefeated and untied season in the history of the school.

Encountering a Successful Campaign Continuing a victory march into basketball warfare, Oakwood's crack division donned new uniforms to repulse ten out of fourteen enemy thrusts during the winter campaign. Sharp-shooting aces carried the Lumberjacks banner successfully through five city encoun- ters and sent it on to the finals in the district tournament to win the runners-up award. Despite the loss of two varsity players in Iohnny Sauer and big Bud Sorensen, the Oakwood attack re- mained as strong as ever with capable substi- tutes for the front line. As usual, the squad was composed for the most part of senior members. At one forward post was Howard Connie Vanderberg, blonde hardwood ace who was tops in individual scoring with a 144-point total. In the other forward slot, Bud McCune and Dick Castor alternated. Hold- ing forth at center was Gates Thruston, intramural graduate, with Gene Hughes, junior satellite, as an able replacement. Captain George Herbert, whose great play in the district tournament gained him city-wide recognition, was well sup- ported by Nick Davis and Turk Hughes at the two guard positions. Invading the Xenia Central fieldhouse, the 'lacks were too unorganized in their first battle to hold down the power of the defending state champions and lost out by a disappointing 27 to 14 count. Chaminade proved to be a group of raw recruits in the next fracas with the Eagles falling before the Oakwood onslaught 35 to 15. A band of high-scoring Bulldogs from Fairview next tried an invasion, but the Lumberjacks were on guard and surprised their cocky opponents with a sterling 17 to 12 upset win. Long shots were swishing with too much regularity for West Carrollton, and although Oakwood overcame an eight-point deficit, it finally bowed to the hot Pirates by a 27 to 25 score. 58 From then on, Oakwood assumed the form expected of it in pre-season forecasts. Six straight foes were forced into retreat. Lebanon and Troy were felled in high-scoring contests. Patterson Field's First Radio Squadron, initial non-high school foe in Lumberjack history, offered stubborn resistance before losing out, 48 to 41 in the season's highest scoring battle. In this fracas Vanderberg scored 22 points for the season's record. Lopsided victories were recorded over Parker Vocational and West Milton, after which the Pilots of Wilbur Wright were grounded by a convincing 40 to 20 margin. Rolling along with too much confidence, Oakwood met unexpected opposition in a keyed-up Fairmont Dragon and was forced to absorb a 31 to 24 setback. With the arrival of the district tournament, Oakwood was classified as one of the eight seed- ed teams. After first drawing a bye, Troy was scheduled to provide the second round opposi- tion. A slow start forced the Lumberjacks to fight hard in downing the Trojans. A weak Chaminade team provided quite a scare in a contest which placed Oakwood in the final round. After trail- ing 12 to 5 at the end of the first quarter, the Woodchoppers finally won with a lead of ten points. Xenia's one-man team, better known as Iack Wilson, was once again the opponent of the 'lacks in the big championship game. An inspired Lumberjack team outfought, outshot, outplayed and everything but outscored the Bucs to be forced once again to accept second place honors. It was a 24 to 21 decision, after the Lumberjacks had led for three quarters. In such a manner the Oakwood hardwood regiment retired with signal distinction from the battle floor.

As usual during the basketball season, in- terest ran high over the outcome of the many furious, hard-fought intramural contests. There were many teams in both Class A and Class B this year, the members of which were chosen from various khaki-clad boys stationed at our camp. In Class A the top team was Snyder's Gliders, composed mostly of football players who knew what they wanted and who had learned in the fall how to get it. Led by Captain Tip Snyder, Bobby Prugh, and Tiger Huffman, the Gliders swept through a successful season climaxed by My rr 1 Sf!

Stoeck's Wrecks strafed all opposition and thundered through to an undefeated season. However, right behind them, always fighting, were Fraley's Freaks, Shroyer's Destroyers, Poep's Pots, the Blizzard Boys, the Dew Drops, Olch's Oysters. and Tate's Taters. Jim Derrill Don Poeppelmeier Rohlfs Fricke ll BOWLING A small but efficient division cavorted each week at the bowling alleys. Though not a championship aggregation, these lads performed admirably despite the handicap of a shortage of veteran members. In the city league playing at the Recreation Alleys each Sunday for twenty-tour weeks, this crew finished on the third rung of the standings. O BASEBALL Prugh. O Spring Offensive in Full Swing Defending the fortifications of the Oakwood battleground, baseball recruits held forth in many encounters this year. With Bud Sorensen and hard-hitting Iohnny Sauer having departed to more technical train- ing posts, the charges of Coach Ed Bigelow were forced to depend upon inexperienced men, mostly from the junior and sophomore classes. In a move to strengthen the pitching array, Neal Webber, husky first baseman of last year, was successfully converted into the most out- standing ace of the hurling corps. As a replace- ment Tex Harris gave several creditable show- ings on the mound. Catching duties were handled by Turk Hughes for the second straight year. In the infield, veterans Bob Prugh and George Strickland, along with Gene Hughes and hard- hitting Gene Keckler, presented Oakwood with a sparkling defense. Outfield candidates, who in- cluded Bert Kalisch, Tippy Snyder, George Herb- ert, Bruce Epstein, Bob Roth, and Dick Trace, added great punch to the attack. ball. a fast one.

However, with but one more put-out to execute in the game, the Lumberjacks were surprised with a barrage of extra-base blows and saw a two-run lead disappear into a 7-to-5 defeat. Roosevelt took a liking to the slants of Harris and with the help of many costly errors, over- whelmed Oakwood, ll to 2. Experienced in the art of warfare by this time, Oakwood outscored Kiser 7 to 4 as Webber pitched three-hit ball and personally connected for a like number of hits in his cleanup batting role. In the district tournament, a tough Hamilton Big Blue aggregation was drawn in the second round. A shaky second inning proved to be disastrous, as last year's champions captured an easy 7 to 2 victory. With Webber returning as a nucleus for a better team, prospects for next year remain bright.

Thirrclads Acquire Valuable Experience Taking the field of battle despite heavy man- power losses, Oakwood's track division was forced to accept stunning setbacks while build- ing for future attacks. Veterans Charlie Caton and Gates Thruston continued to lead the unit on the field, the former claiming an undefeated record in the mile run while the latter was unchallenged in the 100-yard dash. Don Fricke, Marion Claunch, and Ned Turner, other veterans on the squad, held up their ends well. All other front line positions, however, had to be reinforced by raw recruits. Departing for other sites were Bud Sorensen, lack Millard, lim Hall, and Iohn Sauer, counted on heavily to bear the brunt of the attack this year. Carrying on in their stead were sophomores lack Perry, who showed outstanding skill in the 220-yard and broad jump, Malcolm Stahl in the hurdles and high jump, Albert Issleib in the pole vault, Frank Crotty and Ward Pohl in the relays, Howard Fricke in the high jump, and Sheldon Rohlfs, outstanding star, who placed consistently in the pole vault, shot put, and discus. Representing the junior class were Bob Spayd, 440 man, Derrill Rohlfs on the shot put and discus, and Almar Fraley in the high jump and 880. In the first meet of the year, Osborn Bath formed the opposition. A successful season was in prospect for the 'lacks after this encounter. as the Flyers were grounded by a convincing 74 to 44 score. This constituted all of the Oakwood successes, however, as our rival city brethren, Fairview, Wilbur Wright, and Parker, gained re- venge frorn basketball reverses and completely annihilated our boys. Fairview gave Oakwood its most decisive wallopping in a long time by slaughtering it, 98 to 22. With this experience gained, next year should find Oakwood back at the top where it has been for so many seasons. H. Fricke and Stahl on the low hurdles. 63 CENTER: Davis shot puts.

In a recent match with Fairmont, Graef posted an amazing 73, lowest in the city this year, while Strickland garnered a 75. Having already won the district tournament by I2 strokes, the golf team should carry the Oakwood banner far into enemy lines. TENNIS Requiring half of the season to round into the veteran form expected of it, the Oakwood tennis team formed an attack too late to cop the city diadem, but it nevertheless destroyed most of the top opposition that it faced. The squad was coached by the popular Mac Hum- mon, under whose expert direction the team gained a creditable record of three wins and two defeats. The number one man was Bud McCune, who con- tinually bombarded his foe with clever shots with dazzling accuracy. Other hard-hitting singles men were Bill Iames, a junior, who will carry on nobly next year, and Billy Kamp, a senior, who smashed all opponents to gain an excellent record in his matches. The first doubles team struck cleanly and viciously to earn an undefeated record. Its members were Teddy Iames and lack Geiken, two fast seniors. The other doubles team, composed of Chet Staley and Tiger Huffman, performed admirably to turn the tide in our favor many times. STANDING: Mr. Hummon tcoachl. T. James, McCune, W. James.

Recruits Train Successfully for Future Following right along in the footsteps of the varsity came Oakwood's tough freshman team. Featuring a fast backfield and a heavy line, this team easily upheld the tradition set by Coach Marsh's teams by coming out undefeated and untied in a season of five games. In the initial scramble, Belmont attempted an attack. They were met on the Oakwood gridiron and pounded back on the short end of a 20 to 0 count. Returning a few days later, Bel- mont was no match for the Lumberjack power- house and was completely annihilated 55 to 0. Dayton Kiser then opened fire. Only expert passes by Shroyer were able to stop the Panthers. In this tilt the 'lacks connected on five passes out of seven, hitting the jackpot on two. With five seconds to go, Oakwood apparently broke an inevitable tie and sewed up the game 19 to 13. 65 Our neighbors down the pike were next on the list. The Dragons put up a stiff fight but were not quite strong enough. When the gun sounded, Fairmont was humbled, 18 to O. Going on the offensive for the first time this season, the Woodchoppers invaded Troy. Putting on the steam for their final contest, turned the game into a 33 to 0 rout. Showing plenty of promise, these future varsi- ty lettermen have power, speed, and nearly all the requisites for another record-breaking team. Big guns on this freshman team were fast, power- ful Bruce King, passing aces, Dean Shroyer and Bob Bishop, and husky Warren Reed as scoring threats in the backfield. Pete Kuntz and Bill Crotty held down the end positions and throttled any of the foes' attempts at flanking movements while hard-hitting Bob Kalisch and lack Bogge laid siege to the center of the line.

Yearlings Prepare for Coming Battles Recruits training for coming winter cam- paigns gained needed experience by engaging in no fewer than 18 battles in their apprentice year, capturing 10 of these contests. Operating in two leagues, a creditable posi- tion in the standings was gained in each. In the junior high school loop, a third place tie with Roosevelt was gained, while in the Intra- mural Class B league, under the name of the Blizzard Boys, they received runners-up honors. Building an offense around its rangy center, Bruce King, and slippery forward, Dean Shroyer. these yearlings presented a high-scoring aggre- gation. Iohnny Whalen and Bob Bishop were also outstanding at the forward position. On defense, O IUNIOR HIGH TRACK STANDING: Mr. Cook. coach: Bernard. King. KNEELING: Russell. Legler. Bishop. guards Louie Stefan and Warren Reed held the opposition to new lows. On the cinder paths, junior high trackmen rehearsed for coming campaigns by achieving fine records in field activities. Outstanding members of this aggregation were Bob Bishop on the 100-yard dash, Bruce King in both the high jump and broad jump events, Gene Stewart on the 220, Warren Reed in the shot put, Pete Kuntz in the 440-yard run, and Charles Russell in the 220-yard dash. Prospects for the golf team are Bob Gaskell and Fred Breidenbach, who are often seen at the links. LUCKXLV NO ONE WA5 HURT XN THE WEEKLY JCPANBLEJ FOP MA?

Veterans of many athletic battles and rookies alike remember the victories gained under Captain Hayner's command. She is an expert at hurrying lagging feet on muddy drilling grounds, as well as on the actual battlefield. Miss Hayner's ready encouragement for rookies and additional inspiration for old campaign- ers help keep army morale sky-high. Proof of our chief's strategy is three years of undefeated hockey. Her blitz tactics are also used with bang-up success in the tennis troops and in the badminton, basketball and baseball corps. So hail to the chief! First in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of her followers! Undefeated Warriors of the Hockey Field Another undefeated season was added to the long list of victories acquired by the star pupils of Miss Bess Hayner as they marked up their fourth straight year of success. Running rough-shod over all opposition, they chalked up 41 points to the 8 scored against them to make the total for four years 236 points to the opponents' 29. This year's team was without an individual star, for it was just eleven girls giving their all for an undefeated season. Coached by Hayner, as she is fondly called by her girls, and captained by Phyl Kohnle, the squad spent the major part of the fall at long strenuous practices, ending its season with the traditional junior-senior game followed by the banquet. Thanks to Nancy Howland's last minute goals, our first encounter with Fairview was won, 3 to 2. Next a bewildered Wittenberg Col- lege team succumbed ll to 0. The hardest game of the year was the Antioch College game, for which a small squad traveled to Yellow Springs to return with a hard fought 7 to 4 victory. The following day the weary company marched forth to do battle and subdued Fairmont in a slam- bang game, 6 to 2. In the return game they were again defeated ll to O. Playing host to Fairview, our invincible team met and overcame the Philadelphia Drivers by a score of 3 to 0. The girls will long remember: Chris and Church, only sophomores to play with the first team. . .Trudy's split pants in the Fairmont game: FOURTH ROW: Romig, Bettchvr, Rich, IVIcCally, .l.

Kerr, Woods. A great deal of fun and comradeship was experienced by the girls of the upper ranks dur- ing the winter campaign while they spent many hours of drilling and actual battle on the bad- minton courts and at the ping pong tables. Outstanding among the badminton players were Ann Pine, whose slams ran all opposition ragged, Timmie Lewis, who caused a commotion when she gracefully hit the floor during her final match: Ann Kimes, sensational doubles partner of Ann Pine and singles player of equal merit: Pat Reese and Peach Pohl, outstanding doubles team and singles players of high standing: and Marjorie Kerr, finalist runner-up. Also seen on the courts around 4:30 was Mr. Lewis, who challenged many veterans. Along with him came several senior boys who tried their luck but failed miserably. Rivaling badminton for supremacy was a sport requiring equal skill-ping pong. Nancy Blue, Trudy Kent, Ianet Sauer, Dodie Shank, and Iudy Newell enjoyed many afternoons practicing for the championship. Contests were staged throughout the school year in this popular sport with the senior high gym as the scene of battle. C A 71 'is EY STANDING: KNEELING: Every afternoon of our evasive warm Weather the ambitious girls of the senior high may be seen treking toward the East Oakwood courts, tennis rackets slung over their shoulders and worn balls in their hands.

Reese, Pohl. Tate, Kent. on to the court and practice in View of the matches they are planning to play. Head auxiliaries are Pat Reese and Peach Pohl, who attempt to organize the team and per- suade other schools to meet in battle. Ably assisting them are other seniors, Dottie Gedanic, Sylvia Reed, and Iune Tate. Also aiding in sup- port are Carol Iane Salisbury, Ianet Sauer, Trudy Kent, Pat Patterson, and Sue Zimmerman. Peach Sylvia 72 ' Pat Junior High Hockey Under the command of Mrs. Parker the Iunior High Hockey team opposed such foes as Fairview, which was encountered twice, and Fairmont, which was overwhelmed by the Oakwood attack. Following in the path of the other winning divisions, it won all of its games. The scores were: Oakwood-2, Fairmont- 0: Oakwood-5, Fairview-O: Oakwood-13, Fairmont-O. Some of the peculiar incidents that occurred dur- ing the season were: Lou Young's breaking her hockey stick while trying to hit the ball: the whole team's yelling hamburgers during one game and potato chips during another: Mrs. Parker's taking twelve girls home in Dobbin, her coupe. The outstanding soldiers in this female army were Martha Iones: Marion Skeeter Bergen: Ianie Nelson: Phyl Wollenhaupt, our captain: and Sue Gruss: but the whole team showed much co-operation in all of the games. Georgie Matthews showed her ability not only as a capable manager for the team, but also a good player. The leading scorers for the campaign were Martha Iones, who hit the enemy for ll scores, and Marion Bergen, who scored 5 markers. This junior division completed an excellent cam- paign and leaves an enviable military tradition for the rookies. Mrs. Parker, coach: Phyl Wollen haupi, captain I C O THIRD ROXV: Gould, C. Focke, E.
