I, f 65 lnlll Mr. Lewis Mr. Claggett Mr. Zook CHIEF Chief logger of the entire Oakwood lumber camp is Superintendent Arthur E. Claggett who supervises activities and relays signals expertly and smoothly with a friendly smile to all. Mr. Claggett strives to employ only the smoothest, most capable methods in order to prevent log jams from endanger- ing camp unity. Ranger Iohn N. Lewis, assistant principal of the senior high, instructs the upper- classmen in math and pre-flight besides acting as assistant coach of the football team. Ranger Lewis's after school sessions for wayward Lumberjacks are justly famous. Well-known, too, is his badminton skill which is often exhibited to spectators who happen by about 4:30 in the afternoon. In his junior high forest, Allan Zook teaches algebra to the younger woodsmen and serves as faculty manager of all Oakwood athletic events in addition to fulfilling his duties as principal of the junior high school where he preserves enviable peace. Serving our community without pay and ren- dering the highest service, the Oakwood Board of Education this year has continued its fine record of notable accomplishments. All school affairs have been managed with efficiency and dispatch. Among its many projects has been the purchase of additional equipment for the machine shop. The Board consists of Frederick W. Heckert, president: David E. Detrickp Robert S. Oelman: Charles R. Martin: Mrs. George R. Murray: and R. Allen Parker, clerk-treasurer. Mr. Detrick, Mr. Martin. Mr. Parker, Mr. Heckert, Mrs. Murray C65 RANGERS Filling two important posts as boys' athletic director and assistant principal of the junior high school, Mack Hummon this year has coached the varsity football team on to a successful season. Adding another undefeated season to her list this year, Miss Bess Hayner, girls' athletic director, coaches the Lumberjills' successful hockey teams and is beloved by all-including members ot her biology classes. Thomas D. Brown Ir.'s thought provoking ques- tions manage to stump his hard working history students most of the time. Captain Brown also occu- pies the important post of dean ot boys. Mrs. Thomas D. Brown, Ir., dean of girls, advises college bound 'Iills and directs Girls' League besides teaching English to the upper classmen. Assisting the Oakwoodites in understanding and speaking their own English language more fluently is the job ot Mrs. Frances S. Kampmeyer, who also explains the mysteries of Shakespeare to them. Miss Myriam Page, who is now ending her first year at Oakwood, is well liked for the interesting as well as educational assignments which her English classes receive. Miss Alice Hunter augments her English classes with anec- dotes and extra bits of information which are ot much interest to the loggers. English, Spanish, journalism and creative writin classes kee Miss ,J Mr. Hummon Miss Hayner Mr. and Mrs. Brown QI P Mildred Campbell busy: but she still finds time to act as Acorn adviser, a position which carries with it great trial and tribulation. Mrs. Kampmeyer, Miss Page, Miss Hunter, Miss Campbell tilt -M ...Q Miss Helen Stilwell, whose personality de- velopment classes have brought out the great charm of Oakwood's Lumberjacks, teaches am- bitious Loggers to speak French in the best Parisian tradition. Miss Iosephine Auld's talents do not end with her Latin I and English classes, for this well-liked newcomer to the Oakwood faculty coaches the junior high Lumberjill hockey team as well. Keeping the woodsmen well in hand in her Latin classes, Miss Georgia Baker often holds some timely and educational pow- wows which vie with Caesar and Virgil for first place in the minds of thoughtful Lumberjacks. Mrs. Richard Latham directs the commercial de- partment. Loggers completing a typing course under her supervision have left the two fingered hunt-and-peck system far behind. Deep-voiced Edmund L. Bigelow who teaches history and science is well-known in the Lumber-- jack sports' world as coach of the baseball team. Towering over the younger Lumberjacks in the Miss Stilwell Miss Auld Miss Baker Mrs. Latham junior high is Stanley McGowan who, besides instructing them in math, keeps order in the junior high trails. Supervising the printing department and teaching mechanical drawing and algebra occupy A. M. Hoffman's Oakwood hours. An expert in the world of history is William D. Kuhns. who keeps his classes in social science and his- tory on their toes with his famous surprise quizzes and oversize maps. Good-natured Iohn W. Dougherty heads the manual arts department and teaches math to the seventh grade green- horns. In the junior high forest Charles Moore's history, science, and biology students leave his classes with a thorough knowledge of these sub- jects. Famous for his inspiring pep talks and humorous comments to dreamy-eyed students in his history classes, Oliver N. Iohnson guides the seventh grade football squad on to victory. Ralph Hartzell, head of the music department. lends his excellent advice to the Woodchoppers' band, orchestra, and chorus. Mr. Bigelow Mr. Dougherty Mr. McGowan Mr. Hoffman Mr. Kuhns Mr. Moore Mr. Iohnson Mr. Hartzell Mrs. Kirkland Mrs. Russell Miss Weber Miss Mendenhall Miss Steindorf Another head ranger of commercial subjects, Mrs. Robert Kirkland, is also secretary in the junior high office where she is aided by a corps of efficient office assistants. Future Lumberjill home makers can thank Mrs. Helen Russell, head of the home economics department, for their knowl- edge of sewing and cooking. Miss Lou K. Weber, art teacher of the lumber camp, encourages any potential Rembrandts in our midst. Under her excellent guidance, art students win much praise and many awards. Stopping in twice a week, Miss Gertrude Mendenhall guides the future art- ists of the junior high tree farm in drawing and painting. Miss Margaret Steindorf is head librar- ian in the forestry of books where the best in Lumberjack literature can be found. She also in- structs the eighth grade Loggers in English. Oakwood students planning to tour South America after the war receive Spanish instruction from Iohn M. Martin who has also had a very successful year supervising the eighth grade foot- ball team and the public speaking department which brought in more than the usual amount of awards this year. Earl Marsh's many math classes don't fill up all of his time, for he also coaches the varsity basketball team and the ninth grade football team. Familiar to all are Mr. Marsh's subtle remarks to unprepared for- esters. ln addition to teaching history and English to Oakwood Woodchoppers, William L. Sanders each night presents a roundup of the day's news for radio station WHIO. Carlos Crum's science- minded Loggers when not studying for a daily quiz, perform experiments in chemistry and physics under their teacher's able guidance. There have been no casualties-yet! George McClellan's system for keeping his math and science pupils alert will be well remembered by those who disobeyed Ranger McClellan only to find their homework assignment doubled or tripled! Mr. Martin Mr. Marsh Mr. Sanders Mr. Crum Mr. McClellan Miss Stewart Mrs. Kyle Miss Nadine Stewart, secretary to the super- intendent, has a Wide variety of duties. She makes out the daily absence lists, handles tele- phone calls, keeps records, and does many other smaller tasks. She is assisted by an industrious group of Lumberjacks who serve capably and efficiently. Mrs. Charles Kyle keeps careful accounts of Lumberjack financial affairs. Her duties include making out and distributing faculty payroll, com- puting the school income tax, and paying bills. Dr. Lautenschlager HUD A friendly haven to all Loggers is the Lum- berjack clinic Where expert medical service is dispensed free of charge to ailing Woodchoppers who have lost control of their sharp axes or fallen ill from overlong exposure to icy forest blasts. In the morning Dr. Harry W. Lautenschlager comes to prescribe for the sick. Mrs. Robert Brum- baugh, school nurse, is present all day to assist Dr. Lautenschlager and to carry on when he is gone.

She is also a Nurses' Aide at the Miami Valley Hospital. In addition to being the senior homeroom adviser of S-15, Mr. Thomas D. Brown, Ir., has spent many hours in helping the boys solve problems which the war has thrust upon them. Miss Myriam Page stepped in and took over Mrs. Parker's twelfth grade girls' home- room S-ll with perfect poise. Her inspiring guid- ance and sound advice proved invaluable to all. Mr. George B. McClellan was the true friend and able counselor of S-16 and showed great skill in managing this somewhat lively group of senior boys. The seniors will long remember these four advisers. Versatile Bob Spayd, a good athlete, fine speaker, and truly an all-around president, cap- tained the Class of '44 to a successful year. Gene Hughes, with his likeable disposition, took time out from athletics to make a great success of a thankless job, that of vice president. Louise Pool, an outstanding public speaker and a good student, kept the minutes and records for the Class of 1944. Smiling Mary Walker, a fine student and able leader, was financier of the class and kept the books balanced perfectly at all times. SENIOR ADVISERS Miss Baker Mr. Brown Miss Page Mr. McClellan as. l.

Fricke, Heiland, Dohse, G. Houk. First row: A. Gelep, R. Marvin, Cowan. Issleib, Bimm, Filsinger, Knee. ln S-20 an atmosphere of scientific wisdom prevailed as Mr. Crum analyzed thick black guck from petroleum tankers while his ambitious Lum- berjacks studied chemistry diligently in prepara- tion for one of Logger Crum's inevitable chem quizzes. Through all this Lab Assistant Dick Larson patiently answered the questions of his classmates on chemical science, while Lee Heil- and, Ervin Balzuweit, and Albert lsslieb were probably thinking about basketball at which they excel: Gus Hallum, treasurer of the junior class. was adding up uncollected class dues: and George Houk was pondering on Acorn layouts: Bob Morris was writing to his father in England on borrowed paper: and George Floridis was adding several new telephone numbers to his seemingly endless list. Harry Bimm was conceiv- ing a new practical joke to spring on some unsuspecting innocent. Thus S-20 continues to be a homeroom of perseverance and originality. HOME ROOM S-8 Third row: W.

Wil- son, Reemelin. In S-8 Mr. Dougherty's Loggers, their ranks augmented by several transient seniors, forged ahead with unquenchable spirit. Studious cram- ming predominated in their little group in the early morning until Chief Logger Dougherty, who really knows his timber, presented his homeroom sons with copies of Fortune magazine for sev- eral years past, thereby stimulating their interest in matters scientific and political. However, be- tween reading and studying, these junior Lumber- jacks have still found time for extra curricular activities. Larry Nelson, Sheldon Rohlfs, Malcolm Stahl, Bob Reemelin, and Bob White were out for football and will no doubt form the backbone of next year's varsity. Dan Olch, lack Ricketts, and Malcolm Stahl were letter men in the band. Music also attracted Charles Sonnanstine, who is Oakwood's most talented exponent of boogie- Woogie. Most often repeated mark in S-8 was Mr. Dougherty's That's another check mark against you, Tate! HOME ROOM S-6 Fourth row: P. Kemmer, Barlow, Frey, Kuhl. Godfrey. Third row: Leatherman, Custenborder.

Rogers. , -,.,,,, Y --1 LUMBERJILLS GF '45 Mrs. Kampmeyer led the Lumberjackettes of S-6 through a very successful year. Among those who added their ability to the game of hockey were Barbara Christian, Ann Churchman, lane Baker, Ellen Light and Frankie Ahlers. Elizabeth Hayes, whose pencil sketches were admired by everyone, chose to demonstrate her talents in the art department. A patriotic spirit was highly visible throughout the logging season as Phyl Dye, energetic bond chairman of this logging camp, was constantly after her fellow Lumberjills to buy another bond. Ellen Light, Marilyn Frey, and Marilyn George, all students of chemistry, could regularly be seen studying that puzzling subject during the early morning homeroom period. In the absence of Mrs. Kamprneyer, Margie Bush took attendance and, in general, kept the Lumberjills of S-6 in order. The talented Lumberjills of S-10, under the capable leadership of Mrs. Russell, let nothing stand in the way of their winning great acclaim. This logging camp boasted that their number included two of the junior class officers. Suzie Martin held the position of vice-president, while Shirley Mendenhall, as secretary, took minutes of all important class meetings. During the fall and early winter seasons the Lumberjackettes were seen daily dribbling hockey balls down the field both in practice and in games. Those who won letters for their fine playing were Pat Trace, Virginia Trick, Anne Seasholes, and Shir- ley Mendenhall. Active in the National Forensic League and winners of many contests were Barbara Winston, Audrene Moore, Harriet Snow, Pat Trace, Anne Seasholes, Virginia Trick, and Beta Riecken. Many of the Lumberjills found that their voices could be used for singing as well as public speaking and lean Williams, Dorothy Preis, Patty Stolz, and Virginia Strange took ad- vantage of this and participated in the operetta.

LUMBERJACKS OF '46 Headed for a great future in the history of Oakwood, especially in the field of athletics, are the Lumberjacks of S-22, guided by Mr. Bige- low. Out of the twenty-seven loggers in this homeroom over 75 per cent have participated in some high school sport with many engaging in two or more. In football Steve Bernard, Ioe Gurnick, Bob Bishop, Iohn Boyd, and Bob Bush showed great promise for future stardom, while Bob Heidkamp's skillful basketball dexterity led the sophomore basketball trainees. ln the spring Coach Bigelow enticed many from his homeroom out to the baseball diamond. A great blow to S-22 was the departure of Bob Kalisch and Bruce King who left the logging camp to branch out. Dick Bradmiller, Ioe Gurnick, and Steve Bernard shine in the field of scholastic achievement. With such loggers as these, S-22 bids fair to being one of Oakwood's best all-around homerooms some day. In S-21 Mr. Sanders is sometimes forced to quell the carefree exuberance of his sophomore Lumberjacks who otherwise might lose them- selves in unrestrained gaiety. Despite frequent disturbances, talent has been developed as talent at Oakwood will be under any circumstances. In public speaking Bob Scheibe, who was last year's All Around Boy, has returned victorious from many speech contests as have debaters Charles Russell and Bruce McCormick, the latter of whom is also famed for his high class photog- :7aphy. Every morning in S-21 there are a few min- utes of utter silence while the Scripture is read by the loggers who alternate at this task, thus strengthening spiritual fortitude of the logging camp and raising the ideals and ambitions of the Lumberjacks. HOME ROOM S-5 Fourth row: V. Gould, S. Gruss, M. Pinter, Hardy, Haverstick. M. Atkinson, Engelking. Condit, C. Economides. Third row: Heckert, Behm, P. Heath, I. Feight, Apostelos, I.

Nash, Pine, K. Smith, S. Latterty. C. Zimmerman, G. Smith. First row: I. Nelson, G. Matthews. M. Iones, G. King. L. Young, W. Wahlman, Stumm. K. Shultheis. The sophomore loggers, although newcomers to the senior high this year, made themselves quite at home and were found to be very versa- tile. In Mrs. Latham's group, S-5, the out-of-door spirit predominated. Those who brightened the hockey field with their appearance were Marion Bergen, Phyl Condit, Ann Finch, Leslie Candor, Ieanne Feight, Mary Hall, and Ruth Burke. All of these Lumberjills are varsity material for future years. This homeroom was proud of the out- standing work in the Prince of Peace Contests produced by Carolyn Bartels, Anne Baker, Phyl Condit, Mary Behm. and Ioanne Center. Indi- vidual honors were many and varied greatly. Among these were Diane Heckert's outstanding scholastic record, Marilyn Haney's skating, Ginny Bridge's violin playing, Phyl Condit's singing, and Gini Gould's one man band. Marion Bergen, Audrey Bongartz, Chris Apostelos, and Sue Gruss are talented in the art department. Familiar sights around S-5 were somebody yelling, That's tough and Iean Heathman or Jeanne Feight being on another committee and doing a swell job of it. The Rangers of S-l, Miss Weber's logging camp, became accustomed to seeing attractive pictures about the room as the school year rolled on. Katherine Smith, the artist of the group, helped contribute to this display. Whenever one of these loggers had any question about the con- struction oi a Latin sentence, she would consult Thelma Teigler or Nancy Nash who will some- day be great linguists. S-l had the honor of having in its midst the two sophomore hockey players who received letters this year-Ianey Nelson and Martha Iones. Others who went out for the great sport were Phyl Wollenhaupt, Georgie Matthews, Nancy Reese, Gigi Thruston, and Carol Zimmerman. Wanda Wahlman and Gennette Smith spent their time in homeroom comparing notes about soldiers. Strictest military discipline is the order of the day in General Kuhns' headquarters in I-10 where the general maintains a rigid educational program. Conscientious, hard-working Lumber- jacks receive frequent promotions, while the care- less ones, who are forgetful of their duty, may remain at the bottom of the ladder indefinitely. This military kind of homeroom life is part of Logger Kuhns' plan to promote better citizenship. However, despite this martial atmosphere, Ronnie Aller has succeeded in becoming an accom- plished jive pianist and Hank Breidenbach has developed his propensity for cartooning. lack Matthews is an up-and-coming public speaker whose clever and original declamations have proved him to be one of Oakwood's most talented humorists. ln I-3 Mr. Marsh's freshman Lumberjacks, mathematical geniuses all of them, display a HOME ROOM I-10 Third row: R.

Ray Spiller's specialty is cartoons of any of his classmates in whom he finds some peculiarity to emphasize. Bob Rogge is a champion squirrel hunter who is also famed as a stirrer-upper of wild life in general. Ronald Poplar, an enthusiastic band member, is an ex- pert on brass, both musically and otherwise, while G. B. Price, another bandsman, blows his horn with such vehemence that those near him expect his cheeks to burst at any moment. lack Nash and Bill Rowell fill in many lonely hours turning their high-powered charm on the most convenient Lumberjill. Bud Swartztrauber derives much pleasure from developing his athletic prow- ess in basketball and football. Bob Smith is an expert electrician whose jaw bone motor is con- stantly turned on full power. HOME ROOM-LIBRARY Third row: L. Economides, Blome, Loose. Koehring. Graydon, Keirn. Coye.

LUMBERIILLS OF '47 In the library Miss Steindorf had reason to be proud of her talented junior 'Iills and their varied activities. For the war effort they bought S4950 in bonds thereby winning an afternoon's vacation. Outstanding among those who received letters and future candidates for the senior hockey team, were Betty Geiler and the Focke twins. Indy Griswold's ability with the flute gained for her a place in the band, orchestra, and music contests. Other honors went to the young mem- bers of the N. F. L.-Nancy Bowers, Iulie Dye, Mary Frances Claggett, and Peggy Keirn. Famil- iar sights and sounds around this homeroom were the groans over biology tests, decorations around the camp by Peggy Keirn and Bonnie Herby, and their familiar sayings which were no more dignified than tough. A Christmas party was held in the library with the other ninth grade homeroom as guests. Miss Auld's camp, I-5, was not without hon- ors. Barbara Spillinger, who led the group, also led the loggers in scholastic ability. Nancy Nutt was the logger who always ran in just before the tardy bell rang. A musical Lumberjill, Elizabeth Wiese, won first prize in an all-city music contest while Virginia Wise, Pat Rogge, and Ioan Schadel were the outstanding hockey players. Hobbies were not uncommon. Best known were Marilyn Smith's love for horses and Phyllis Pohl's three scrap books of Ronald Reagan. In the entertain- ment line I-5 enjoyed an exciting Christmas party with Miss Steindorf's homeroom in the library and also a Valentine party. These Lumberjills have the favorite saying hot slab and, like their neigh- bors, fear Miss Hayner's notorious biology tests. Mr. Martin's eighth grade Lumberjacks in I-4 have proved to be among the most benevolent in the junior high school by making the highest Red Cross donation, over 3200, in the entire school as well as by contributing generously to the War Chest campaign, investing in war bonds and stamps, and donating a Thanksgiving bas- ket. Sixteen I-4 boys, about two-thirds of this homeroom, played on the eighth grade football team, while eight ot them were enthusiastic band members. The number one spot on the honor roll was a privilege reserved for Dick Becker, while Bob Brabson and Fred Latterty were close runners-up. The Iohns, Houk and Hooven, de- voted many oi their leisure hours to the develop- ment of Houkhoovania, a mythical South Seas Utopia which has become famed throughout the junior logging camp. Ted Eichelberger has achieved an enviable reputation tor his piano playing by attaining first honors in the Iunior HOME ROOM I-4 Third row: Atilerbach, Mr. Martin, Long, Had- ley, Iackson, Harlamert, Hanson, Hooven, Curtis, Clements, G.

Urging his eighth grade loggers of I-l to ex- plore the secret depths ot science, Mr. Moore now has some promising young scientists in his homeroom. George Murray, one of the most promising, is known as the Edison of I-l on account of his fiendish experiments which keep Logger Moore and the I-1 Lumberjacks in a con- stant turmoil for fear that their homeroom will someday be blown out of existence. Here is also the homeroom of executives: for both the eighth grade class president, Bo Polk, and the vice presi- dent, Glenn Ray Walters, are members of the I-l group. Iimmy Smart was the star flash on the eighth grade football team.

'Z..Y w5 QW'w ss-- RANK Q xx l l LUMBERJILLS OF '48 Lumberjills in I-8 where a wide variety ot talents can be seen. Star knitter of the class is Chris Davis who spends her homeroom hours before 8:45 knitting with fiendish vehemence while her classmates study feverishly in anticipation of first period class. After the tardy bell the 'Iills al- ternate reciting their iavorite lines of poetry. Music holds the interest of many with pianists predom- inating, most of whom are endeavoring to master the art of boogie-Woogie. Penny Light plays the violin very well. Joanne Flinchpaugh, IoAnne DeMarse, and Chris Davis are enthusiastic hockey players. On December l6, Miss Campbell's Lumberjackettes feted their companion home- room, I-6, with a gay Christmas party. This was but one of the many instances in which I-8 and I-6 worked together in close harmony to achieve peace and unity. Having developed their personalities to the utmost under the tutelage of Miss Stilwell, their ment classes have gained the attention of the junior high, the eighth grade Lumberjills of I-6 have proved that charm is not restricted to the higher grades. However, in addition to this, talent has also developed. Susan Simons presented an excellent vocal solo in the Christmas program, and she was accompanied by Marcia Pickwell who has gained a deservedly fine reputation as a pianist. Margie Owen draws very well, and Dorothy May enjoys hockey and basketball. Carol Ruckgaber is greatly admired tor her con- sistent scholastic achievement. Last fall the am- bitious Lumberjills of I-6 entertained Miss Campbell's Lumberjackettes of I-8 with a true woodsman's feast midst the tall timber of Hills and Dales proving that friendship and close cooperation is the best policy. Familiar to all I-S 'Iills, is Miss Stilwell's almost daily remark around 8:3U: Get into this homeroom, or can't you tell time! HOME ROOM I-9 Fifth row: Mr. Hoffman, Hartzell, Haswell. D. Alexander, L. Burke, L. Henry, T. Creager, Hausc. Fourth row: I. Garritson, I. Candor, B. Finley, C. des Islets. D. Lewis, Costas, lack Duff, Kobes. Third row: Ely, Coleman.

Breiden- bach, Leyda, D. Linxweiler, I. Anderson. Brauss. Having been initiated into the mysteries of life in the Oakwood forest, Mr. Hoffman's seventh grade Loggers in I-9 have become accustomed to the differences in junior high school life and have taken them in their stride. Football proved to be a popular sport with Tom Creager, Iim Hause, and Bill Keely emerging as star players. Other ambitious footballers included Ierry Cole- man, Dick Bowere, Clyde Coriell, Bill Leakas, and Logan Burke. The mysteries of math also beck- oned, and almost any morning a group of studious boys could be seen checking the results of homework done the night before. Bob Finley and Gene Hartzell are chemically minded and aspire to be scientific wizards someday. Every morning and noon there are big log jams outside the door of I-9 with all the Lumberjacks trying to enter at the same time. The last one in invariably leaves the door open despite Logger Hoffman's frequent admonishings on that subject. HOME ROOM I-7 Fourth row: Stockum, Nichols, Schmitz, B. Stutson, Thompson, Mr. Iohnson. Third row: Dick Scourfield, Stimson, Richard- son. Slack, D. Winston, Wolfrum. Second row: Ritter, Roberts, G. Walling, I. Schneider, Shaw. B. Walker. First row: Rosenhagen, Pickering, D. Rambo. Dick Stork, Rininger. Although Mr. Iohnson's seventh grade Lum- berjacks in I-7 are technically classed as green- horns in the logging world, the only green thing about them is that nine have never ridden on a train. Several of the more scientific minded boys from both I-7 and I-9 have formed a Chem- istry Club of which Murray Nichols and Donald Schmitz of the I-7 aggregation are president and vice-president respectively. This rising group has indulged in some highly scientific research which gives promise of great things to come. Football was the favorite sport in this homeroom with Dick Stork, Bob Slack, Bruce Stutson, lim Parker, and Iim Schneider participating in this popular game. Basketball gained in popularity and at- tracted Dick Stimson, Iohn Stockum, Bert Walker, and David Rambo. Thus the newest of Oak- wood's Lumberjacks have proved themselves worthy of advancement into higher ranks next year. HOME ROOM l-15 Third row: Miss Hayner, P. Finter, Livar. Davidson, S. Gieler, I. Houk. Second row: Cobourn, M. Anderson, Iulia Fisher, M. Focke, M. Cornish, Billing, Huber, Chenoweth. First row: Hale, Grunewold, Hunting, O. Brad- lord, I. Davis, C. Lewis.

First row: M. Myer, Sturhahn. Wurtz, Madi- gan, P. Martin, Oyer, Otto, N. Wilson. 1 There was nothing at all green about Miss Hayner's greenhorns in I-15 as they seemed to fit right into the swing of things in the junior high. These seventh grade loggers went all out for hockey and basketball. Among others Suzie Huber and Ioan Houk were very expert in these sports. The high climbers of this group who ob- tained places on the honor roll were Mary Chenoweth, Frances Atkinson, Charlene Lewis, Ioan Houk, Suzie Huber, Martha Anderson, and Jane Davis. Besides their athletic and scholastic work, these rangers also had their social life. When the holiday season came, Miss Hayner and her Lumberjills had a gala Christmas party with all the trimmings. They also gave a Christ- ms basket to encourage the holiday spirit. The social highlight of the year was a very success- ful seventh grade dance given in the library and headed by Mary Chenoweth, The most familiar scene around the camp of Miss Hunter's Lumberjills in I-ll, who were formerly led by Miss Isabel Flynn, was the check- ing of math problems. As usual no two answers were alike and arguments always ensued as to who was correct. As in the other camp, these loggers also indulged in the fall and winter sports. Those who took an active part and bear watching in the future years are Virginia Web- ber, Paula Polk, Sally Price, Velma Wahlman, and Sanda Otto. A Christmas party was held in camp I-ll and a tree was bought for the oc- casion and presents were exchanged. This was just the thing to get these railsplitters in the Christmas spirit. When the warm spring weather came, the Lumberjills ended their social activities with a Mothers' Tea in the home economics room.

Headquarters for all logging activities in the Oakwood High Lumber Camp was S-15 where the Oakwood Student Association met every Wednesday afternoon to prevent log jams and plan new projects. This year Rufus Iones was boss during the first semester while Lanier Russell took over this important job for the rest of the year. Two successful dances were held in the library after the Xenia football game and the Fairmont basketball game with juniors and seniors selling tickets and working on various committees. In the senior high Marijane Williams was appointed chairman of the Iunior Red Cross Drive to which all the lumbermen contributed generously, while Barbara Spillinger acted as chairman for the junior high.

Chest drive had a successful run with Bob Hend- richs as chief ranger. Rufie and Lance pepped up Monday morn- ing assemblies with announcements of the intra- mural basketball scores which were always greeted with cheers from the Lumberjacks. That old saying, When the cat is away the mice will play, was disproved when during the absence of regular teachers the O. S. A. provided ambitious students who at once assumed a com- manding Voice and, in true teacherly fashion, announced the next ten pages as homework. This was the first year that this plan had been tried, and the O. S. A. helped to make it a big success. School spirit and pep were stimulated throughout the year by the O. S. A. and the swell job done by these loggers made everyone proud of our Lumber camp. GIRL RESERVES Girl Reserves consisting of fifty-five Lumber- jills hit the trail under their leader, Ann Kirk- patrick, and group adviser, Mrs. Logan Herbert. Since Girl Reserves is primarily a service organi- zation, its project for the year was the making of supplies for the day nurseries in Dayton. At Christmas time a pow-wow was held at the presi- dent's house and a large Christmas basket, filled by the loggers, was given to the Family Welfare. Many prominent women interested in service work addressed the loggers during the winter. A picnic was held during the spring session with shorts, blue jeans, and lumberjack shirts very much in evidence. HI-Y I-'itth row: L. Nelson, Miller, Candor, Hudd, Iones.

HI-Y The Hi-Y loggers put in a busy season dur- ing the war years of '43 and '44. First semester activities included hayrides, the selling of booster tickets, the sending of calendars to our graduates in the service of their country, and the printing of programs for the traditional Thanksgiving foot- ball game. The second half of the school year found the boys nelarging their energetic group with five new members in addition to those six admitted in the first semester. Hi-Y's participation in the nation-wide paper drive netted a surprising col- lecton of twenty-three tons. A big charity ball completed the season's activities and ended a successful year. GIRLS' LEAGUE Girls' League started the logs rolling in 1943 with a box supper social in the quadrangle. As soon as this party was over, the loggerettes plunged into a paper sale to aid the war effort. The annual Christmas pow-Wow, with all the trimmings, was a great success. The highlight of the party was the presentation of the play Birds' Christmas Carol by a group of Girls' League players. Singing Christmas carols by candlelight ended the evening's fun. In February, in honor of George Washing- ton's birthday, a ball was held with Lucy Breid- enbach crowned Martha Washington. Under the supervision of Mrs. T. D. Brown. Ir., adviser, and President Matey McCally, the Mothers Tea Went over big. To add more interest and gaiety to the program some of the mothers, as well as the daughters, took part in the entertainment. A few weeks later the girls undertook an- other paper sale with the profits contributing to help redecorate the old library. This room will Girls' League Council First row: A. Moore I.

LEVELS ALL OPPONENTS The Oakwood chapter of the National For- ensic League prides itself on being a very demo- cratic organization offering a wide program of interesting activities to all students from the ninth through the twelfth grades. Its aim right from the start, some ten years ago, has been to im- prove speech, to develop self-confidence, and to discover talent. The chapter has grown steadily in strength and membership from the original five charter members to its present membership of seventy-five, which makes Oakwood the fifth largest chapter of the five hundred chapters of the National Forensic League in the United States. This year interscholastic competition has been restricted because of transportation prob- lems. Nevertheless, Oakwood teams achieved outstanding victories at Hamilton, Columbus North High School, and at the Western Ohio Speech Tournament held at Delaware, Ohio, in March. ln addition to these contests some sixty- five students have taken part in debates and local Prince of Peace tournaments held at Oak- wood. Among the honors won this year the follow- ing are noteworthy: Bob Spayd, third in the Prince of Peace Finals held in Columbus: Bob 50 Scheibe, first in Dramatic Declamation Finals: Lanier Russell, first in Humorous Declamation Finals: Bill Hovan, first in Extempore Finals: Lou- ise Pool, second in Original Oratory Finals: and Ioanne Center, second in Oratorical Declamation Finals. Phyl Condit in Dramatic Declamation, Marion Bergen in Humorous Declamation, and Bob Spayd in Extempore all added to a victory in the Western Ohio Championship by capturing third places in the Finals. There were many other honors, too, such as Mary Behm's reaching the State Finals in Original Oratory and the Varsity Debate Team's participating in the State Finals of the Ohio Speech League. Four fine trophies, many medals and ribbons, and the Distinguished Chapter plaque from the National Headquarters of N. F. L. have been added to their laurels. Special mention also should be made of Carol Bartels, Marion Bergen, Bob Scheibe, and Bill Hovan for helping to win the South Western Ohio District Championship. Fin- ally, the fine debating done by Ellen Light, Pat Trace, Andrene Moore, Bruce McCormick and Charles Russell who won the South Western Ohio District Trophy, and the distinction which came to Barbara Barnett in being declared the outstanding Congresswoman at the Western Ohio Student Congress cannot be forgotten. What is the secret of their success? Iohn M. Martin, capable and efficient adviser and public speaking teacher extraordinary, is the one most responsible for it. Throughout the year he has given generously of his time. He has played host to all the potential material in Oakwood High, and, with the close cooperation and assist- ance of Superintendent A. E. Claggett, he has helped many citizens to express themselves. The administration of N. F. L. has been the most active in its history. Led by Bill Hovan, it promoted closer unity between the chapter and school by arranging regular school meetings.

In October, at the formal initiation meeting, three greenhorns-Virginia Dissinger, George Houk, and Tom Sleeth-were admitted. Each initiate gave a short, extemporaneous talk, and everyone submitted an original composition which was read at the meeting. Sue Finley, who presided over all the pow- wows, was very ably assisted by lean Shuey, vice-president: Dot Bettcher, secretary: and Mary Lewis, treasurer. During the school year several students won awards in the national Quill and Scroll contests. Among those who were victorious were Dick Trace and Tom Sleeth, who Won awards in sports and feature writing respectively. A logging excursion into Hills and Dales brought the journalistic year to a close. In the Iunior High Lumbercamp the Oakleaf- let, a bi-weekly newspaper published by hard- working Lumberjacks and Iills, was on the beam as far as its numerous readers were concerned. Chad Graham and Kelsey Marechal were the big bosses who kept things rolling and pre- vented log jams. The paper contained many interesting and varied articles, while the gossip column, By Scandal Light, was a great favorite with all. After the departure of Miss Isabel Flynn, who had charge of the Oakleaflet the first semes- ter, Miss Mary Alice Hunter took charge and the year was completed with flying colors.

Music Masters of the Timberland 3 Keith Robinson, drummer 54 BAND Many a melodic note burst forth from the music department as enthusiastic band members began their early morning rehearsal at 7:45 a. m. under the direction of their very capable leader, Ralph Hartzell. The band made a grand showing this year with its forty-two members who gave a concert at the Soldiers' Service Club, played for home football games, pep assemblies, the Community War Fund parade and many other events of social interest. Officers of the band were Keith Robinson, president: Dan Olch, vice-president: Retha Loch- ner and Virginia Gould, librarians. An addition to the music department was made by the purchase of a saxophone from the proceeds accumulated during the school music activities of '42 and '43. The band was very well represented in the annual Miami Valley Music Contest, and many members came out with high ratings. Among those who won were Virginia Bridge, Elizabeth Wiese, Bob Scheibe, Retha Lochner, and Iohn Smiley. l STRING-WOODWIND ENSEMBLE Hardworking Lumberjacks and Iills laid down their axes and took up violins, cellos, flutes, and clarinets to make with some smooth music. With Roger Willson's Clouds composed especially for this group, the string-woodwind ensemble played for various student assemblies and public gatherings. Their biggest job was accompanying the chorus in the operetta, Chimes of Normandy. sholes, Griswold, Murray. Hartzell, director. MIXED CHORUS Musical Lumberjacks and Iills got together this year under the supervision of Ralph E. Hart- zell and gave their vocal chords a workout in the mixed chorus. Among the projects undertaken by this group was a delightful Christmas contata, and members ol the chorus also ably represented Oakwood High at the district music contest. The principal undertaking of the group was an operetta, The Bells of Cornevi11e, which was given April 28. The proceeds of this operetta went to buy musical instruments for the band.

Artistic 'lills Pool Their Talents Artistic Lumberjacks and Iills helped the war effort this year by making posters tor the U. S. O. and by turning out many humorous Christmas cards to give a lift to wounded soldiers overseas. Many colorful exhibits were displayed in the senior high show cases, including ceramics ot all sizes and shapes, colorful oil paintings of tloral groups, and some very handsome etchings all done by the students. Two murals were undertaken by senior girls. One of these will hang in the junior high and the other will add beauty to the senior high. The art room was beautitied by the addition of gay stenciled curtains made and designed by students. Many beautiful textile designs were turned out by the more advanced art students, some ot which really looked as if they had been done by professionals. Miss Lou K. Weber is owed a vote of thanks for the splendid job she did this year in always lending a helping hand to those who just couldn't draw a straight line if they had to and in developing an appreciation for color and true art in everyone under her capable instruction. Study Hall is one activity in which every logger has a chance to participate. Lumberiack team- sters actively en- gage in decorating camp for senior pow-wow. No qreater activity does one find anywhere in the logging camp than that displayed by our whistle-punks. Actions speak louder than words as these lumberiacks publicize the Acorn in a skit before assembly. No slashings here, Small Timber! Sewing is a practical activity which loggerettes can use when they set up their own bunk house.

Q. ff-ff Q 1Z' .Zi .A fk aw TURK HUGHES Captain Hughes was a familiar phrase at Oakwood this year since Delmar Hughes, otherwise known as Turk. captained the football, basket- ball, and baseball teams through suc- cessful seasons with the poise, courage, and natural ability that marks leader- ship. Turk was quarterback of the foot- ball team, guard on the basketball squad, and caught co-captain Neal Webber's mound offerings from behind the plate. A bright future in college athletics is predicted for Turk by Oakwood coaches. KEY LOGGER Replacing Edward Cook as head football mentor was I. Mack Hummon, for many years line coach under Cook. Mack also toted the whistle in many Miami Valley football and bas- ketball games. Under his guidance the junior high basketball team took the ninth grade city championship. all' . 'Q as LUMBERIACKS The '43 contingent of Oakwood Lumberjacks ran into knotty timber and were unable to hit their stride until mid-way through the season. The record shows four wins and five losses. Since the team had to be reorganized, Coach Hummon had to experiment with his linesmen until he found a suitable combination. The cen- ter position was never in doubt with Neal Webber, one of Dayton's outstanding pivotmen, on the team. Lanier Russell and Don Stork held the guard positions, while tackles for the '43 Lumberjacks were Gene Hughes and Bob Spayd. Holding down the ends were Bob White, one of Oakwood's best defensive ends in recent years, and Bill James. Cy Laughter, Turk Hughes, Bruce Epstein, and Larry Nelson comprised the backfield. Oakwood traveled to the University of Day- ton stadium to encounter Wilbur Wright in our lid-lifter for the 1943 season. Wright scored first and never relinquished their lead although Bill Iames scored three times on Cy Laughter's aerials for Oakwood touch- downs. The determined Pilots, however, flew away to a 28-19 decision. The next week the woodchoppers invaded the valley again, held Chaminade to a single I.

Lugging our axes to Piqua, we fell victims of a revenge-seeking eleven, as the Piquaians came through with a decisive 28-O victory. Xenia Central was our next foe. Our first home game resulted in a sound 13-U trouncing at the hands of the Bucs. Oakwood now had a total of tour losses and no wins. From here the woodsmen went out to salvage what was left of the season and came through with four wins in the last five games. Our first victory finally came in the rain- soaked contest with Lebanon by the score of 28-0 as Bruce Epstein scored twice in this game. Then came a close 7-6 victory over Roose- velt. The Teddies were terribly out-classed but fought stubbornly. Troy refuted the ancient myth in downing the woodsmen, 19-13. The Trojans jumped to q 6-O lead and went on to win. Versailles came to Oakwood next, but ap- parently the Lumberjacks had no treaty with the Yellowjackets and poured out an 18-7 victory.

Timbermen Bulldoze All Cpposition Playing inspired ball, the 1944 Lumberjack basketball team completed the most successful season in the history of Oakwood High School. The tree-cutters chopped down all opponents with one exception. The seasonal record of eight vic- tories and one defeat was accomplished by steady practice and hard work. Laughter grabs rebound in close Wright game. l Coach Marsh was able to put on the playing floor a ball team that was superior in offensive and defensive power to the opposing teams. Being fast, tall, and aggressive, these boys were told by Marsh that they were one of the best ball clubs he had ever coached. Every player on the floor for the Lumberjacks was capable of making points at any time. High scorer on this year's team was forward Bill Iames with 89 points for the season. Cy Laughter and Lee Heiland combined their talents to hold down the other forward position. Performing at the pivot spot, Gene Hughes and Bob Spayd made their share of points and handled most of the rebounds. Bob Hendrichs and Captain Turk Hughes were two of the best guards that Oakwood fans have seen in recent years. Ed Nicholas and Rufie Iones, substitute guards, could be depended upon to play good ball at all times. Turk and Gene Hughes were the only varsity holdovers from last year's team. After dropping four games in two years to Xenia, the Woodchoppers opened their season by breaking the jinx that this team held over them. Outscoring the Centralites throughout the game, the Lumberjacks took an overwhelming 48 to 28 victory with Cy Laughter leading the way with eighteen points. A Chaminade team, which turned out to be the city champions, was B5l Heiland, Spayd, Coach Marsh, Iones, and Nicholas sweat out Troy game. the next opponent for the Oakwoodites. Playing nip and tuck ball throughout the game, Oakwood was finally defeated by the Eagles, 25 to 22. This proved to be the only defeat of the season for the 'lacks and showed that they had not reached their peak. Winning the next seven games in a row, Coach Marsh's team took revenge on the Pirates of West Carrollton, for the defeat that they in- flicted on our boys last year, by winning 37 to 25. The loggers crushed a weak Lebanon team 44 to 13. This was the eighth consecutive defeat suffered by Lebanon at the hands of Oakwood on the basketball court, Building up an early lead in the first half, the Lumberjacks coasted to a 27 to 22 victory over Troy. Playing before a large crowd at the coliseum, the woodchoppers ran wild over a poor Kiser team 31 to 15 with Bill Iames making seventeen points. Parker Co-op furnished surprising oppoe sition for the Lumberjacks as the outcome of the game was not certain until Cy Laughter dropped in two points with five seconds left in the game. The game was won 26 to 25 by the 'Iacks. With Bob Hendrichs and Ed Nicholas throw- ing in last minute baskets, Oakwood downed a fighting Wilbur Wright team 32 to 30 in the most exciting game of the season for Oakwood fans. Bob Hendrichs sparked the loggers with eleven points. Arriving on the Oakwood court for the annual game with the Lumberjacks, the Dragons from Fairmont left all their teamwork and scoring punch at home as the woodchopper rampaged to a 51 to 23 victory. Both teams got off to a slow start in the first half, but as the second half opened, the 'lacks started to roll up the score. ln this the Lumberjacks gave their best performance of the year. Drawing Dunbar for the first round of the post-season district tournament, Oakwood was nosed out 32 to 30 by this surprisingly speedy team. Hughes and Laughter poised lor Spayd's tip-off.

Stahl isn't stalling GOLF The hickory slashing lads of Oakwood High School comprised a golf team that was one of the best in the school's history. Coached by Mr. Mc- Gowan this year, the team boasted of two return- ing lettermen in Bob Hendrichs, captain, and Ed Graef. Lance Russell and Albert Isslieb rounded out the team to make the powerful foursome. This powerful team won the Springfield District Cham- pionship and finished seventh in the all-Ohio competition. TRACK The Lumberjack thin-clads were favored with returning lettermen from last year in the personages of Keith Robin- son, Malcolm Stahl, Sheldon Rohlfs, and Howard Fricke. Among the outstanding players was Keith Robinson, who had valuable experience in vaulting over the bar. Keith was not able to compete in the preceding season because of an injury to his right leg but carne this year to gain new fame with his high flying proficiency. Malcolm Stahl continued with his running of the high and low hurdles and was probably the most outstanding trackster in overcoming all adversaries. A back injury acquired in football prevented Sheldon Hohlfs from continuing his duties at the pole vault. He did, however, distinguish himself in the shot-put and discus. Howard Fricke made a name for himself in his second year of high-jumping competition. He also gave the oppo- sition constant worry with his speed in the mile and hurdles. Among those who were working for the furtherance of the Lumberjack cause were Steve Bernard, Bay Penn, and Pete Davis. The half-milers included Alex Gelep and Charles McDonald, while 440 contenders were George Floridas and Warner Van Horne. Sprinters included Ward Pohl, Charles Russell and Charles Parrott. The first meet was lost by the score of 66-54 to Stivers: but Coach Hummon expressed the belief that, as the squad gained experience it would also gain victories. 1683 BASEBALL Baseball interest received a shot in the arm in the Lumberjack camp, as twenty-six of the faithful donned baseball uniforms every night this spring to battle for starting positions. Nucleus of the team was co-captain Neal Webber, who, when he wasn't pitching in his usual blazing form, gave the mound duties to Harry Dohse and took over first sack position. Webber's catcher was Turk Hughes. Webber's blazing fast ball and tricky curve helped him strike out fifteen Teddies in his first game loss to Roosevelt, 10-3. Dohse's first mound appear- ance against Chaminade also resulted in a loss with Vern Daller completing the battery. In this game, Dohse's three hit performance went for naught as the outfielders, apparently confused by the low fog, let three balls go by for extra-base hits. Bushel-basket boys for the timbermen were Filsinger in right field, Epstein, Stefen or McBride in center, and Trace or Sieber in the left field TENNIS The racket lashing Lumberjack tennis squad featured only one returning letterman, Bill Iames, who acted as part time coach and also captained the team. Mack Hummon's absence from the courts because of his duties with the track team was noticed greatly, but the boys played brilliant games all season. Other members of the squad included lack Stoecklein, Ed Nicholas, Dick Hudd, Don Stork, and Curt Miller. Hughes and Webber garden. Infielders included Meinzer in the hot- corner, Edwards at shortstop, and Roth at the keystone. Webber or Spayd at first rounded out the sometimes erratic infield. Heavy hitters were Both, Epstein and Webber. With threefourths of the team returning next year, a better seasonal record is anticipated. SENIOR HIGH BASEBALL Third row: Edwards, Whalen, T.

'I'he ninth graders split two games with our arch rivals the Dragons of Fairmont, winning 13 to 7 and losing 14 to 7. The other two victories were at the expense of Belmont and Stivers. Belmont was bulldozed 68 to U While the Stivers score was 18 to 0.

In the Class C tournament the locals came out on top. The Frosh won the first game 81 to 6 with South Park and, after winning a second game, took the finals from Belmont 23 to 12. Don Munch was the high-scorer of the season making twenty-six points in the South Park contest alone. All in all, the Freshmen had a great season of sports in both football and basketball.

Flashy red and white uniforms, brilliant passing and dead-eye shooting were responsible for the first place Intramural standing of the all- senior All Stars. This aggressive combination led by Lance Russell, Neal Webber, and Don Stork, ran over its lesser opponents by lopsided scores and ended the season undefeated. The runner-up spot was taken over by Tate's Taters who nosed out Steck's Wrecks 12-10 to clinch second place. Bob Roth, Iim Sieber and Gordon Sinks paced the high scoring Taters. Captain Iack Stoecklein led the black uni- formed Wrecks, former Class B champs, into third place on the strength of his one handed push shot from the quarter line. The Potlickers, who boasted of Tom Anderson, leading scorer of the league, rounded out the first division. The other league teams included Larson's Lions, Shroyer's Destroyers, Bernard's Barnyard Bombers, and the Stoycos' Stukas. Outstanding game of the year involved the Wrecks and the All Stars, as Webber and Epstein cut loose in the first half to send the fighting All Stars out in the lead 13-4. The second half, how- ever, was All Wrecks as they held the All Stars scoreless, while Miller and Stoecklein divided four baskets between them and Wallick dropped in a last minute foul shot to knot the game at 13 all. It took the champs three over- times before Bill Atwell joed a game-winning shot to defeat the high-spirited Wrecks 15-13. Back row: D. Hudd, Fraley, Stoecklein Front row: Wallick, Miller.

The Lumberjills of Oakwood High School hewed down all hockey opponents in their path for the fourth straight undefeated year under the expert guidance of Miss Bess Hayner and the able leadership of the co-captains, And Benner and Annie Bomig. After long strenuous practices the season was opened by overwhelming the Fairmont Dragons 8 to 0. The team then subdued the Bulldogs of Fairview in a slamming game with a score of 3 to 0. In a return game with Fair- view the loggers again triumphed, this time by a score of 8 to 3, despite setbacks of rain, a muddy field, graceful spills, and the loss of one wing during part of the game. iield. Two games were played with Antioch Col- lege, the first of which was won 5 to 0. In a return game the Lumberjills met and overcame a much improved Antioch team, which kept the Oakwood girls continually running up and down the field in their toughest yet best game of the year. After the game the hostesses served hot cocoa and cookies to the weary yet happy com- pany. Fairmont fell again to the invincible Lumber- jills to the tune of 6 to O. The traditional Senior-Iunior game ended the successful season with a tie score of 4 to 4 fol- lowed by a lavish banquet at which seventeen seniors, the largest number in the history of twenty years of hockey at Oakwood, received THE BOSS Little but mighty, the Boss or Hayner, as the girls fondly call her, will live long in the memories of the girls who were lucky enough to become associated with her.

P t SENIOR HIGH BASKETBALL Boss Hayner's basketball Lumberjills, who taithtully attended practices on Mondays and Wednesdays, aided the cause of returning com- petitive girls' basketball to the high schools of Ohio after tne war by participating in a play- day given by the Girls' Athletic Department of Antioch College for girls from University of Day- ton, Oakwood, Wittenberg, and Antioch. The group which traveled to Antioch on a Saturday was composed of seniors and sopho- mores. They included Marion Bergen, Martha lones, Nan Reese, Phyl Wollenhaupt, Ianie Nel- son, Gigi Thruston, Ianet Sauer, Trudy Kent, Annie Bomig, Ann and Mary Lewis. The group was divided into two teams with Mary Lewis playing guard on both teams which lacked one player. After a short meeting in the locker room, the girls elected Ianet Sauer as captain. Battling valiantly, the Lumberjills were subdued in their three games of the afternoon by two teams from Antioch and one from Wittenberg. After the game Antioch girls served oranges, milk, and cookies to all participants in the play-day.

Ianet Sauer and Trudy Kent practiced faith- fully many nights after school to perfect their almost perfect game. Virginia Bausch and lean Shuey had the round-robin game of ping pong well under control. Their tricky shots fooled everyone. Dot Bettcher and Nancy Howland added color to the always crowded floor. The underclassmen had some excellent ma- terial that cropped forth this year. Leslie Candor, Charlotte Bradford, Barbara Christian, and Bar- bara Winston all gave the ping-pong ball a mighty swing. Perhaps among them there are some world champions in the making. Watch the birdie! nl.1.l.,.., Fun and comradeship were experienced by the Lumberjills during the winter months while they spent many Hours during gym and after school knocking many badminton b1'ds to bits. Outstanding among the badminton players were Ann Lewis, whose placed shots were un- returnable: Trudy Kent and Annabel Romig, who were found sprawled on the floor after a strenu- ous volley: Martha Iones, Leslie Candor, and Marion Bergen, the outstanding underclassmen: and Mary Lewis and Dodie Shank, both of whom played nice games. Mr. Lewis and Miss Hayner often challenged the champions, and their ability sometimes made the champs look bad. Some of the senior boys tried their luck at badminton but were foiled.

TENNIS During the evasive spring weather, many a loggerette was seen trudging down to the tennis courts on Patterson Road with tennis racket, balls, and raincoat in hand with the object in mind of making the tennis team. When not taking sunbaths these girls were volleyinq back and forth with great enthusiasm for the coming matches. The retained members of last year's team were Trudy Kent, Ianet Sauer, Libby Hostetter, and Sue Zimmerman. However, there were many new aspirants from the senior, junior, and sopho- more classes. Cn the senior slate there were such people as Ann Kirkpatrick, Dodie Shank. Iudy Newell, the Lewis twins, Annie Romig, Nancy Maytorth, Nancy Howland, and Dot Bettcher. Competitors in the junior class were Elizabeth Hayes, Martha Clare Rogers, Suzie Martin, Ann Churchman, and Barbara Winston.

I UN IOR HIGH HOCKEY Under the guidance of Miss Iosephine Auld the Iunior High Lumberjills, following the tradition of the classes that went before them, completed a successful season. They opposed such aggre- gations as Fairmont and Fairview. Fairview was subdued by a score of 2 to 1, but Fairmont carried home with them a victory over the woodchoppers. The return game with Fairmont, however, was a different story as it ended in a tie. Outstanding performers on the hockey field were the Focke twinsiHelen and Anne, Sally Moulton, Cynthia Noyes, Nancy Nutt, Carol Bausch, Marilyn Smith, Barbara Spillinger, and Virginia Wise. With this potential power on hand the varsity will have to work hard to keep their positions. Everyday occurrences: Mary lane Wills' Superman power in hitting the ball the full length of the field, the Focke twins' ability to baffle their opponents with trick shots and passes, Carol Rausch's funny jokes which entertained the bench warmers, Marilyn McGervey's habit of falling down at crucial moments, and Virginia Wise's last minute goals. With the intent of keeping the varsity's per- fect record intact in the coming years, these girls practiced hard and long every night. Although everyone was out for a good time, a definite spirit of determination and good sportsmanship was always present. Second row: Stewart, Claggett, Noyes, McDorman, Bowers, C. Bausch, Nutt, V.

Top performers included the Focke twins as fast forwards and Vir- ginia Wise whose baskets were the highlight of many frays. Ioan Ferguson played both forward and guard with equal skill. Second row: Wills, C. Davis, Smith, De Marse, Wise. First row: McGervey, R. Williams, Schadel, Claggett, Nutt. BASEBALL During the warm spring weather the ninth grade Lumberjills in their shorts and their fathers' long shirts tried their hand at baseball under the able coaching of Miss Iosephine Auld.

Twenty-four hours each day through- l out each year we afford electric and natural gas service to patrons. And now that our country is at war we have increased our facilities so that industries which contribute to national defense may operate without inter- ' ruption in supplying the national needs. Ours is a public service organization and every employee dedicates himself always to whatever duty comes. I - THE DAYTON POWER AND LIGHT CO.

THETA PI EVERYTHING FOR THE SPORTSMAN C94 When our son started in the kindergarten of the Oakwood Schools, little did we think that he would finish high school during a period when the world would be so upset in destructive war, economic instability, and political insanity. Our plans for an educated generation, given the inhedtance of Peace and the opportunities for service to his fellow men, have certainly gone sadly astray. In the years to come, when these pages are opened by students in remmbrance, may it be in their minds to forgive us, in our generation, for our failures. May it be in their hearts to recognize the individual efforts of parents and teachers, throughout these years, in their behalf. May they recognize and be thankful for the opportunities which were provided them to live in an American community, and one which had such excellent educational facilities. I am sure that both students and parents now express gratitude to the entire staff of the Oakwood Schools, for their untiring and conscientious efforts. There is no doubt that, in time to come, when these pages may have turned yellow, each man and woman will think back upon the years now concluded as having provided the foundation for successful living. As they go forward, we, the parents, and the teachers, wish for them the success in life that will make our efforts fruitful. Although with anxiety in our hearts for the future, we congratulate the graduating student body, and trust that the uncertainties of the days ahead will soon pass away in the clear vision of Peace and proper living, as we had planned it for them in the years which have so swiftly become a part of the Past. -A Grateful Parent and Sincere Friend of 'the Oakwood Public Schools' Staff.

But even when the war is over, the clocks won't stop. Efficient, time-saving production will be essential in maintaining the sales vol- ume that will provide jobs. And securing a job in the post-war world is the main objective of the graduating students-the goal for which they have been preparing during the past several years. The some Acme services, including the building of new tools and dies, patterns, heat-treated aluminum castings, and production processing which is aiding so many metal-working manufacturers to excel in war production, will be at their service when peace returns, help- ing to create new jobs for young Americans.
