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.

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.

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
