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.
