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.

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.

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.
