Many of the Oakwood stars go to him for guidance and find him always willing to cooperate.. From his front office desk Mr. Claggett, Whose ready smile promotes good fellowship, can supervise all the undertakings of Oakwood. Mr. Claggett's tact and thoughtfulness in handling the everyday problems of this corporation have made our production a success. Chief directors are Allan Zook, Iohn Lewis, and Mack Hummon. Mr. Zook has the task of starting the newcomers, who, after three years of his help and disci- pline, are ready to start off as polished stars of the senior high. Mr. Hummon is the policeman of the O. H. S. lot, but his beaming friendliness and sportive humor make many a struggling greenhorn feel at ease while tackling the new experiences found at Oakwood. The touching up of the rough spots in the careers of the Oakwoodians is done by Mr. Lewis, who gives the sophomores, juniors, and seniors their final boost to stardom. Without his understanding and encouragement many would have fallen by the wayside. 'Hithmetic, one of the most im- portant of the three r's, is taught by all three men who divide our time, multiply our grades, and add to our pleasure , WZ, Mr. Zook I 5 Lewis Mr. Hummon 163 A THE LOT Assistant directors and chief advisers for the Oak- wood stars and starlets are Captain and Mrs. Thomas D. Brown, Ir., who fire them with ambition for bigger and better roles on the stage of life. The Browns are an inspiration to all whom they contact. Not only do they guide the future aspirations of these stars, but Captain Brown also gives a working foundation of civic and governmental matters to his students, while Mrs. Brown prevails upon her English classes not to say We ain't and He don't. Another branch of the O. H. S. lot is that of the Board of Education, the executive board for all activities. It consists of Mrs. George Murray: Frederick W. Heckert, president: B. Allen Parker, clerk-treasurer: Robert S. Oelmang David E. Detrick: and Charles R. Martin. At this round table the board decide important matters of studio government. Their loyalty and energy never flag, and they give unstintingly of their time and effort in solving the problems of new equipment and additonal studio projects. They function as a unit always working for the best interests of the stars. Capt. and Mrs. Brown Mr. Heckert Mr. Parker Mr. Oelman Mrs. Murray Mr. Detrick Mr Martin i t7J Mr. Andrews Miss Hayner Miss Page, M Miss Campbell In order that the stars will be healthy-the girls keeping their trim figures and the boys building up their physiques-Oakwood has two coaches, Miss Bess Hayner and Sam Andrews, to make the stars toe the mark. After six years in training, Miss Hayner's girls become ardent hockey, tennis, baseball, and basketball players, While Mr. Andrews' boys form crackerjack teams in foot- ball and basketball. Near the Oakwood studio of production is an extensive field where a workout by Miss Hayner or Mr. Andrews keeps the Oakwood cast in top-notch condition. Time out from the day's routine of directing intel- lectual motion is taken by Miss Myriam Page, Mrs. Hugh Bender, and Miss Mildred Campbell, who find a cool place on the lot not only to talk about the problems or wonders of their proteges but also to sit and gaily discuss the latest styles in women's hats or the book-of-the-month. Miss Page mentions that she has learned quite a bit about the seniors' pasts since she has recently finished grading the three chapters of each one's autobiography. Miss Campbell seems to think the literary magazine, Oak Leaves, that is to be published by Quill and Scroll, which she directs, will never be completed: but Mrs. Bender says that her English classes are turning in splendid material which can be used. A. M. Hoffman, Stanley McGowan, and Charles Moore are frequently seen at lunch time leisurely strolling through the campus, enjoying the fresh air and the chance to get away from the hub-bub of the lot. They stop to rest by one of the stone walls while either hash- ing over political views or relating the latest antics of their sometimes boisterous charges. Mr. McGowan re- marks that you have to be quick on the trigger in the junior high halls, while Mr. Moore, who instructs students in both biology and history in the junior high, seconds this statement. Mr. Hoffman seems reasonably satisfied with the crop of stars frorn his 1945 trigonometry class and mechanical drawing group. Mr. Hoffman, Mr. McGowan, Mr. Moore l8l A Mr. Iohnson Mr. Sanders Mr. Marsh 1. . When the routine of mental directing becomes a bit tedious, many of the teachers go to the fountain on the front lawn for a drink of water. Such is the circumstance that draws together Earl Marsh, Oliver Iohnson, and William Sanders for a moment's chat. Mr. Sanders, from broad- casting room S-22, explains how he instructs the newcomers in the art of speaking correctly. Mr. Marsh says that it is fine to know such things: but with these must come neatness and accuracy. traits which he tries to instill in his algebra and geometry pupils. Of course, in filming, history is necessary for a background which Mr. Iohn- son knows full well how to impart. 1 'HQ' , Across the open quadrangle from one set to another go Miss Helen Kimmel, Miss Margaret Steindori, and Mrs. Preston Kampmeyer, convers- ing freely as they walk along. As she approaches her stage, Miss Kimmel hears the click-click-click of the typewriters as her typists busily copy scenarios with the proficiency which sfhe has taught them. Miss Steindorf reigns over the realms of files and books. How often scholars musturefer to these shelves for data on Hamlet or Ivanhoe, all of which Miss Steindort has at her finger tips! Mrs. Kampmeyer, who is ever ready to advise her senior starlets, is also re- sponsible for their English. 'Q-M, .irc W W ' ...f-- Miss Kimmel hm ricdiszl., ss Steindori Mrs. Kampmeyer A leisure moment is enjoyed by Iohn Martin, I. F. Alford, and Iohn Dougherty as they Watch the entrance of future cinema artists. Mr. Martin puffs on his pipe as he thinks of prospective dramatic and speaking talent, while Mr. Dough- erty considers the stupendous task confronting a director of manual arts, who teaches the prin- ciples needed in constructing stage settings. Mr. Alford, meanwhile, instructs his students well in ancient history and myths, so that they will have a good background for period roles. Every production must avail itself of the ability of language interpreters, for careful lin- Mr. Doughert . Alford guists--Spanish, French, Latin, or German-are often necessary in the plot construction of new scenarios. By these gifts Mrs. Isabel Fischer, Miss Iosephine Auld, and Miss Georgia Baker enrich the scope of languages and increase the vocabu- laries of the stars, giving them a more well-round- ed speech. At the close of a year's tutoring, the stars can say A tantot to Mrs. Fischer, Auf weidersehen to Miss Baker, and Vale to Miss Auld. Miss Mary Alice Hunter is taking the place of Mr. Sanders who is joining the staff of the Dayton Daily News. Q 411 , ll. , Mrs. Fischer Miss Auld Miss Baker f Miss Mendenhall tx X Miss W er!! Mrs. Russell Miss Gertrude Mendenhall, Miss Lou K. Weber, and Mrs. Helen Russell scan the first draft of scenario sketches to be used in the Oak- wood production. The harmonious colors for murals, oil paintings, or water colors are blended by Miss Weber and Miss Mendenhall with the aid ot their proteges. Mrs. Russell keeps her home economics' studio neat as a pin, while her tal- ented girls design chic costumes and stitch them together, thus completing the stylish wardrobes of the various stars. The amiable dispositions ot the three mus- keteers of science are at their best when they, 3 4 K ,pf M tw JY' L fi. 'f ': ,W - ,fs . w.. i5-fir -fi Carlos Crum, Edmund Bigelow, and George McClellan, can take time out for a private dis- cussion on the Oakwood set. Mr. Crum explains how he constructed a miniature wind tunnel for the benefit of his physics and chemistry students. Knowing Mr. Crum is a licensed pilot, Mr. Mc- Clellan asks to be taken for a ride in his plane to escape the trials of his geometry class and the live wires in his senior physics class. Mr. Bigelow, who is also in charge of baseball, takes care ot the historical and scientific background of the junior high film stars. Mr. Crum Mr. McClellan Mr. Bigelow 'V V 's-mama? A A Mr. Gates The musical score for the Acorn production is arranged by our director, Philip Gates. His friendly, encouraging smile is a go sign for any young star who wishes to shine in orchestra, band, or chorus, Here, perhaps, Mr. Gates is planning some new form of musical entertainment to brighten a morning assembly or cheer the Oak- wood team on to victory. In case of any casualties on the lot Dr. H. W. Lautenschlaqer and Mrs. E. A. Bongartz are always on hand. They swab sore throats, band- age sprained ankles, dab iodine on scratched knees, or sometimes hand out aid for emergen- cies. The doctor and the nurse check on the Dr. Lautenschluqer Mrs. Bongartz Oakwood stars' weight and height and see that they're feeling in the pink in order to continue their work in the studio. There are scripts to be typed, bookkeeping records to be kept and telephone messages to be taken in order to keep the mechanism of the Oakwood production in apple-pie order. Credited with doing these jobs to perfection are Miss Nadine Stewart, who keeps things rolling in the main office: Miss Helen Rees, who is the secre- tary to the board of education: and Miss Kathryn Kyne, who keeps tab on the activities of the younger stars. Miss Stewart Miss Rees Miss Kyne -J--Q 1' MTS- KC-lmPm9Y9l' Mr. Dougherty Mrs. Preston Kampmeyer certainly merits an Oscar for her superb per- formance as homeroom adviser for the S-6 lovelies. This loyal director has given endlessly of her time in order that the girls could achieve higher awards. In the years to come, they'll long remember their boss and friend and those intimate homeroom discus- sions about anything and everything. There's a distinguished gentleman in room S-8 who would undoubtedly be a star in Hollywood today if it had not been for losing his long curly hair by worrying about his flock, the S-8 Rat Trappers. This competent leader has sacrificed himself many times for the betterment of his attentive under- studies. He is, of course, S-8's guiding light, Iohn Dougherty. STARS OF 1945 Carlos Crum, director of the S-20 studio, has been with his boys many years, hopefully trying to develop great stars. On the set he demands hard work, personally superintending con- struction of all scenes to be sure the takes are accurate. Whatever the fu- ture may be for the S-20 boys, they'll always remember Mr. Crum's subtle humor and friendliness. Through six years of directing her potential actresses in S-10, Mrs. Helen Russell has amazed the homeroom with her never failing patience and good- humor. The girls were even provided with their own special dressing room by their cheerful director. But what will be remembered the longest are Mrs. Russell's interesting confidential talks.

Margie Bush Jeanne White Tom Sleeth Alex Gelep STAR EXECUTIVES Elected as student directors of the stars of 1945 were Alex Gelep, executive director, cmd his assistant, Ieanne White, who held the posts of president cmd vice-president respectively: Margie Bush who in her capacity as script girl kept minutes and records of important confer- ences: and Tom Sleeth who was keeper of the funds and responsible for balancing the '45 budget. First among the senior projects was their annual prom, presented on December 15 and called the Holly Hop . Our officers worked un- stintingly to make the prom one of the finest and most successful in Oakwood's history. Amidst the pine branches and red satin bows which decorated the gym, Suzie Martin was crowned queen as the climax to a wonderful dance. On March 20 Alex, Ieanne, Margie, and Tom represented Oakwood at a student interview which Senator Harold H. Burton held at the Miami Hotel. Post-war problems and re-adjustments were considered and all four officers benefited from the discussion. The last main project which confronted the directors was the organization and preparation of the graduation ceremonies-graduation itself, baccalaureate, and class night. Under their lead- ership fine programs were presented and the stars of '45 ended six years of high school with the knowledge that, despite hindrances and diffi- culties, they had done their job creditably.

GOVERNMENT OF, The Oakwood Student Association began the year under the leadership of Sheldon Rohlfs, president: Iohn Whalen, vice-president: Shirley Mendenhall, secretary: and Steve Bernard, treasurer. Its ranks completed by a council of representatives elected from each senior high home room, the O. S. A. immediately attacked the governmental problems of the lot. Tom Sleeth was named chairman of the Executive Committee with lim Sheppard, Phyl Condit, and Barbara Spillinger chosen to assist him in the important jobs of operating a noon hour study hall and of keeping order in the cafeteria line. Appointed to the Ways and Means Committee were Steve Bernard, chairman, and his able assistants, Frankie Ahlers, Ianie Nelson, and Bob Myers. To this committee fell the responsibility of organizing the informal Hallowe'en Dance which was held in the senior high gym on October 31 with music by Bill Arnold's band. The dance was enthusiastically attended by the entire senior high school. Another fall activity of the O. S. A. was that of selling tickets and taking charge of stadium gates for the football games held on the home lot. A corps of senior boys, headed by Alex Gelep, performed this valuable service. ,J In charge of Monday morning assemblies was O. S. A. president, Shel Rohlfs, who arranged the programs and presided over these student gatherings. During the basketball season the O. S. A. granted concessions to the various home rooms to sell booster tickets which raised school spirit to a fever pitch. In addi- tion boys were appointed to take charge of the door for home basketball games. O. S. A. president, Shel Rohlfs, presides at Monday morning assembly. C44l O. S. A.

MNXQYQV ,av-. BY, AND FOR THE STARS At the end of the first semester Sheldon Rohlfs was re-elected president along with Shirley Mendenhall cmd Steve Bernard who remained as secretary and treasurer, respectively. Bruce King joined the ranks as vice-president, and Paula Kemmer became the new chairman ot the Execu- tive Committee. Among the second semester projects of the O. S. A. was a successful paper collection which was made Saturday, February 17, with Dick Zoellner and lack Ward as co-chairmen. Another activity was the writing of letters to Oakwood servicemen who are overseas. Patty Marshall was chairman of this committee and her assist- ants were Albert lssleib, Shirley Mendenhall, and Gordon Sinks. When in April the national gov- ernment sought the aid of the schools in putting over the drive for old clothes for war victims, the O. S. A. answered the call. lack Ward and Dick Zoellner were chosen to watch over the clothes line stretched across the front lawn on which the students hung their contributions. Throughout the year, the O. S. A. appointed student instructors to take over classes when faculty members were forced to be absent, thus developing leadership and encouraging a demo- cratic atmosphere all over the lot. Gale Craigie, in charge of the O. S. A. student conducted noon study hall. smiles as lim Sheppard and Nancy Biddle sign in. GIRLS' LEAGUE COUNCIL Lett to right: N. Lewis, Spayd.

COUNCILS PRODUCE UNITY Under the excellent direction of Mrs. Logan Herbert and Miss Kathryn Kyne, the Girl Reserves flashed many exciting scenes upon their screen of events for this year. Some of the most out- standing were a wiener roast in Hills and Dales, a Christmas party, the painting of the Christmas boxes for the Day Care Center, and the selling of war bonds and stamps at the Colonial Theater every Saturday. The leading players of Girl Reserves of '45 were Virginia Trick, president: Irene Gelep, vice- president: Elizabeth Wiese, secretary: and Mari- lyn Frey, treasurer. Girls' League, just one big happy family. consists of all the stars on the senior lot. This studio produced many successful projects this year. In October there was The Mixer Party : in December, the annual Christmas party. April brought forth The Roundup Dance and Iune, The Big Sister Party. The starlets also col- lected waste paper this year to make money to furnish the old library as the Girls' Lounge. President of this organization is Shirley Men- denhall, vice-president is Phyl Condit, and secre- tary-treasurer is Ierry Spayd. Mrs. T. D. Brown, Ir., is our faithful adviser. V' 2 r GIRL RESERVES COUNCIL Standing: I. Gelep, V. Trick, Varble. Seated: Evans. Lochner, Frey. 'l STARS PROVE BENEVOLENT One campaign in which everyone in the studio took part wholeheartedly was the Red Cross drive. Representative for the senior lot was Pat Trace, while Billy Leakas took charge in the junior high. Studio head was Miss Georgia Baker. With one hundred per cent enrollment on both sets, a total of 3406.51 was collected. In the middle of the year the players were called upon to contribute books, phonograph records, and Christmas presents for the armed forces. Miss Steindorf accredited us with donating many books which were deeply appreciated. Also several times during the year a few of the girls entertained at the U. S. O. centers and Pat- terson Field Hospital. RED CROSS Miss Baker. Pat Trace. and Bob Reemelin. members ot the Red Cross Council, consider material for the Red Cross campaign. Appointed by the Oakwood Student Associa- tion, Andrene Moore took over the duties of director of the annual Community War Chest campaign. Andrene then appointed home room chairmen who worked together to bring the final total up to S188.46. On the junior lot the starlets, working under director Stephen Jeffery contributed 3200.27 to help alleviate war suffering. When Andy Moore. Community War Chest chairman for the senior high, completes her chart which indicates Oak- wood's whole-hearted support. COMMUNITY CHEST the campaign was completed, co-chairmen Moore and Ieffery attended a luncheon at the Biltmore Hotel where they reported Oakwood's totals to the Montgomery County War Chest chairman. Again the film players had proved their benevo- lence and charity by their generous response to this really worthy call for help. When these informal shots of the Acorn statl were taken early in Ianuary, Harry Bimm, assist- ed by Peggy Creager, was filing advertising con- tracts while Frankie Ahlers was planning her assembly skit which publicized An Acorn Grows In Oakwood. Phil Dye, faculty editor, was care- fully trimming pictures as our busy senior editor, Bee Godfrey, checked senior activity lists. Shirley Mendenhall was polishing her hockey write ups, and her assistant, Ann Churchman, appraised basketball pictures with a critical eye. Audrey Bongartz was laying out her clever calendar pages. As Phyllis Schwinn, art editor, was complet- ing her division page sketches, Miss Mildred Campbell, Acorn adviser, Tom Sleeth, editor-in- chief, and Miss Lou K. Weber, art adviser, gath- ered in a corner of the art room to look on approvingly. We who have worked to produce An Acorn Grows In Oakwood sincerely hope that we have successfully accomplished the job of recording the events of Oakwood High School for 1944-45. May it recall happy memories in the years ahead! HOW THE ACORN GREW Ieanne White, activities editor, and her as- sistant, Ioyce Holstein, were comparing pictures with Harry Dohse, boys' sports assistant. Barbara Christian was helping hard-Working Penny Brund- rett, who has kept Acorn books and contacted the all-important patrons, to alphabetize patrons' names, while Marilyn Frey, copy editor, labori- C487 ously counted characters. Dick Trace, boys' sports editor, was searching for basketball layouts as Suzie Martin, class editor, struggled with a photo- engraver's scale. Marty Leakas was taking a minute off from her important job of keeping records of sales. QUILL AND SCROLL Mendenhall, D. Trace, P. Dye, Sleeth, Frey. R. Riecken, Miss Campbell. PUBLICIZING THE STARS The major activity of Quill cmd Scroll this year was the publication of Oak Leaves, a maga- zine to encourage creative writing among the students. Marilyn Frey, president ot Quill and Scroll, served as editor-in-chief with Tom Sleeth as her assistant. Phil Dye was business man- ager: Dick Trace, publicity manager, Shirley Mendenhall, sales manager: and Rita Riecken, art editor. Miss Mildred Campbell was adviser. Oakleaflet, the junior high newspaper pub- lished bi-weekly, was led this year by Susan Simons, editor-in-chief, and her assistant, Gordon Smith. Feature attraction of the year was a story contest which Ierry Coleman won. His story was chosen out of the thirty-five submitted. Mrs. Hugh Bender served as faculty adviser.

STUDIC MUSICMAKERS Adding new glories to an already enviable reputation for producing stirring music, the 60 piece marching band, led by our new and pro- ficient director Phil Gates, highlighted the year with their appearance at all football and basket- ball games. For the game with Fairmont, Mr. Gates added a new feature by combining the band and the girls' marching chorus to form a pageantry of Thanksgiving scenes. Besides play- ing for school events, the band, one of the largest in many years, made a public appearance on Armistice Day. Officers for the year were Betha Lochner, president: Dan Olch, vice president: and Tom Aldredge, secretary-treasurer. The hard working members displayed a loy- alty and enthusiasm that is hard to beat and gave Oakwood one of her most successful musical years.

Speaking---Required for Stardom The National Forensic League, under the capable guidance of Iohn M. Martin, had the largest membership in its history this year. It has grown steadily in strength and membership from tive charter members until at present it numbers seventy-eight. The affairs of the organization were expertly handled by President Charles Russell, Vice-Presi- dent Ellen Light, Secretary Phyl Condit, and Treasurer Carol Zimmerman. On the humorous side, Filbert Matthews and Marion Bergen carried oft the honors, while in dramatics Phyl Condit earned praise for her per- formance of scenes from Angel Street. In oratory Mary Behm, Ioanne Center, Albert Heuther, and Carol Bartels did excellent work. Andrene Moore and Ellen Light, Charles Russell and Bob Scheibe formed the debate team. The N. F.

Their first dramatic production, Timorous Tom and Bad Bill, starring Bill Solarek as Tim- orous Tom, Bill Cox as Bad Bill and Chris Apostelos as the heroine, Little Nell, was enthusi- astically received by a large Oakwood audience. Their next hit was The Crimson Coconut, a comedy concerning a group ot plotting Bolshe- viks and a disguised time bomb, with Ann Iervey, Marion Bergen, Kay Fish, Bob Scheibe and Harry Bayliff carrying oft dramatic honors. The stars of Oakwood brought the season to a close with their three act play, Laugh, Clown, Laugh.

Aided and abetted by Mack Hummon, Coach Andrews was able to mould a winning combination with five lettermen, some outstanding sophomores, and some burly senior linemen. Opening the season September 23 at the University of Dayton stadium, the 'lacks fell vic- tims to Chaminade 39-7, and the following week an underestimated Piqua eleven set our boys back on their heels with a 20-O lashing. With Larry Nelson and Dean Shroyer sup- plying oitensive explosives, and Al Issleib and Shel Rohlts winning praises for their line work, the local lads racked up three consecutive vic- tories, outscoring Xenia 20-19, overpowering Leb- anon 47-0, and beating Stivers 28-12. Following this three-game winning streak. the axmen tangled with Wilbur Wright's Pilots and were submerged under a 20-0 bombard- ment. Then followed the Troy contest in which the Lumbermen, after a valiant fight, lost 18-14. Scheduling a breather, the 'lacks engaged Tipp City in order to warm up for Fairmont and won sam Andrewg 19-6 after a close first halt. NEW MENTOR LEADS 'IACKS Fourth row: Scott, Rowell B. Smith, H.

D. stadium on November 17 the boys in blue and gold did themselves proud. Playing their traditional rival game with Fair- mont, a team which had won seven and lost two and rated forty points better on paper, Sam Andrews' proteges practically did the impossible by stopping lim Irons and Co. and downing the Dragons 7-6. Larry Nelson, playing the best game ol his three year varsity career, stood head and shoul- ders over any player on the field: he personally accounted for all seven points and played a great defensive game. Coach Hadley Watts of Fairmont rated Larry Oakwood's best back since the days of Iohn Sauer. Completing the season with the annual banquet, the team named Captain Shel Bohlts as the most valuable player and Larry Nelson as honorary captain. Al Issleib, veteran center, received honors by being named on the WING greater all-city team, with Nelson and Dean Shroyer on the second team. Letters were awarded to Shel Rohlfs, Ben Cowan, Gordon Sinks, Larry Nelson, Al lssleib, Bob White, Steve Bernard, Ioe Gurnick, Bob Bush, Dean Shroyer, Bruce King, lack Rogge, lack Buchanan, Sam Hudd, Bill Cass, Iohn Boyd, George Floridis, Bob Scheibe, Pat lrelan, and Malcolm Stahl. 5 is QI- 'X Mack Hummon TO SUCCESSFUL SEASGN Larry Nelson takes oti against Troy -Nl Q ' -. 9 'r' f .mv Y :- my ,N MP' Pictured here are six of the outstanding senior Oakwood gridders who have spent three years on the varsity squad.

However, with much pa- tience cmd perseverance Coach Sam was able to mold a rather formidable outfit which won five games and lost the same number. The first practice saw ap- proximately 35 boys heed the call to the hard wood, includ- ing Shel Rohlfs, Lee Heiland, and Larry Nelson, all of whom had a great deal of reserve and a little varsity experience. After a week's practice the squad was cut to ten varsity players and eight reserves. After two weeks of practice the team took a long trip to Xenia and came home on the short end of a 21-20 score.

Larry Nelson was particularly fine against the Pirates, while Dean Shroyer and Shel Rohlis couldn't miss against the hap- less Lebanon Warriors.

With revenge in their hearts and blood in their eyes, Fairmont was determined to make up for last year's 51-23 setback, and capturing an early lead, made complete their vengeance with a 38-25 victory over our game but outclassed gladiators. Iack Bunger and Iunior Norris were responsible for the majority of the damage as they tallied 26 points between them while Lee Heiland, Shel Rohlfs, and Bruce King scored more consistently than any of the wood-choppers. This completed our regular season and brought us into the district tournament with five wins and four losses. A tough Piqua team ended our hopes for state glory as they bowled us over 34-22. Thus ended the basketball season with both pleasant and unhappy memories. Special credit should be given to Coach Sam Andrews for his fine work and also to Captain Shel Rohlts, who was high scorer with 83 points. The Reserves team led by Tom Rambo, Dick Miller, and Don Munch had a great season with eight wins and one loss. They were undefeated till a fine young Fairmont team took their measure in the final game of the season. With this fine record the Oakwood cage team of 1945-46 should reach new heights in the annals of Oakwood. Third row: Manager Ielfery, Rohlfs, L. Nelson, D. Shroyer, Wagner, B. King. Dohse, Ingle, D.

Vets Pace lacks Aided by a returning bevy of veterans the Oakwood baseball team looked toward an above average season under the astute guidance of the veteran mentor, Ed Bigelow, former Ohio Wesleyan luminary. The '45 squad included Harry Dohse, stellar pitcher, who teamed with Lloyd Meinzer to form a strong battery. Coach Bigelow counted on the excellent stickwork of a fine infield and outfield to supply the needed punch throughout the sea- son. Along with Dohse and Meinzer in the veteran faction of the local herd were a duo of experi- enced gardeners, Dick Trace and Bob Bishop and infielders Al Filsinger and Dean Shroyer. Coupled with Filsinger and Shroyer in the inner-defenses were sluggers Bruce King and Bishop, Filsinger. Clover.

Other newcomers were hard-hitting Sam Clover and Dick Miller, who likewise could be depended upon for some colorful batting in the clutch. The outfield led by Bishop and Trace teamed with Clover to form one of the most proficient outer defenses in the annals of Oakwood. These fly-hawks fielded expertly and supplied real punch at the plate. Catcher Lloyd Meinzer also added greatly to the offensive drive of the aggregation. Dohse, an expert high school curve-ballist, was depended upon to pull the team through many tight clinches throughout the season with vet Vern Dowlar lending his experienced aid to the mound staff. Dowlar, Coach Bigelow, Meinzer P O T E N T I N F I E L D Shroyer, Rohlfs, King. Dohse Dowlar, besides performing on the mound, played the outfield and the catching positions. Larry Nelson saw quite a bit of action in the outfield during the season and proved of value to Coach Bigelow's squad not only as ct hitter but also as a distinctly colorful character on the diamond. TENNIS Next year's prospects appear good as only Rohlfs, Trace, Dohse, and Nelson will graduate. Among the new faces who will become next year's stars are Bill Solarek, Dick Miller, and Don Munch. The last two, being sophomores, will be available for two more years of play under Coach Bigelow. Second row: Coach Hummcn, Austin, Luers. Although hampered by a lack of returning veterans, Mack Hum- mon, genial tennis coach, man- aged to give his group the essen- tials for top flight performance. The courtsmen gave a good account of themselves because of their lightning-fast serves a n d steady all-round playing. T h e swift serves of sophomore star, lack Keenan, although they some- times came back with equal speed, earned for the alma mater many needed points. Despite the fact that practice sessions were informal, which came about by choice rather than by chance, our boys displayed in their matches a polish which was a credit to Oakwood. First row: James, Keenan, Graef. Cass, T. Rambo. Q Stahl shows championship form Fricke qoes over with ease Tracksters Hit the Cinder Trail Paced by Malcolm Stahl, one of the few outstanding hurdlers in the state and a standout in the 440 and high jump events, the Oakwood tracksters look for a highly successful season under the fine instruction of George McClellan. Aside from the events in which Stahl will participate, the local thinlies rate slightly above average. In the 100 yard dash Ward Pohl, Charlie Russell, and Bob Bishop, three good tracksters, look for success in the coming season. Pat lrelan and Charlie Russell will run the 220 yard dash and promise to win the majority of points in this event. The 880 yard run lies in the capable hands of Bob Scheibe, an up-and- coming junior trackman. Al Filsinger and Gus Hallum have the mile run in their competent grasp. This duo will cop their share of first places in the forthcoming campaign. Ray Penn and Ioe Gurnick who run the mile with Hallum and Fil- singer also afford excellent support. Both will return to next year's cinder clads. Third row: B. White, Fish, Cowan, lssleib, Bernard, Sinks, Bishop, Mr. McClellan. Second row: B. Scott, Rohlis, Routsong. Stahl, W. Pohl, G. Floridis. First row: L. Nelson, A. Gelep, Penn. Gurnick, H. Fricke, T. Anderson. P fu lulelb hits ceiling In the field events the 'Iacks are particularly strong with the return of the veterans Gordon Sinks and Shel Rohlis while Al Issleib, a new- comer to the squad this year, holds down the pole vault event. Rohlfs paces the Woodcutters in the shot put and the discus throw. During last year's sea- son, Shel walked off with a majority of firsts in these events. Likewise, Sinks is expected to garner points in every meet in the broad jump and Issleib leaves little to be desired in the pole vault, since he easily hits the ten foot mark. Sup- porting Issleib in the pole vault is sophomore Iack Graef who is another excellent vaulter. GOLF Oakwood may rightly be proud of its linksmen this year: for although the team was comprised mostly ot sophomores, it played with tradition- ally expert form. Captain Al Issleib, only senior on the team, set a good example for the younger boys with his long drives as well as his accurate ap- proaches and putts. The other returning veteran on the team was Fred Breidenbach, only junior, who was number two man on the foursome. Rounding out the team were three sophomores, Bob Austin, G e o r g e Zonars and Bill Luers. Scott, Irelan. Pohl and Russell start Coach McClellan can field one of the top mile relay teams in the city without a doubt. George Floridis, Tom Anderson, Tom Routsong. and Iack Ward are the comprising personnel of this team which will probably go unbeaten this season. The 880 relay team is also excellent, with such speedsters as Charlie Russell, Ward Pohl, Burnham Scott, and Pat Irelan holding the reins. Howard Fricke, ace high-jumper and veteran trackman, can Win any high jump event with his five foot eight inch leap. as he has been in the habit of doing for the past two years.

RASCALS COP TITLE Again during basketball season interest was aroused on the intramural outcome. For the first time in several years both Class A and Class B teams were combined making a schedule of ten teams competing for the cham- pionship. At the top throughout the season were the high scoring, undefeated Roundhouse Rascals. Although this all-senior team was threatened twice. once by the All Stars and once by the Taters, they bull-dozed all other opposition and coasted easily into the title. The runner-up spot was taken by Tate's Taters who were gifted with the highest scorer of the league in their center, Bernie Brown. Iack Tate, Bob Penrod, lim Seiber and Will Geer rounded out this squad. Always close behind and battling in some ot the league's roughest and most comical games were the All Stars, Bernard's Bombers, Hotshots, Wicked Wolves, Vlahoes, Fi1bert's Floogies, Mestizoes, and the Fromps. Three outstanding games of the year were the All Star-Rascal contest in which the All Stars were edged by two quick shots after leading the champs during the first three quarters: the Tater-Rascal game that was tied twice during the last few minutes of the final period only to be put on ice by Anderson's last minute marker: and the Hotshot-Wolves tilt that clinched the Wolves their position on the league's cellar. i683 Sinks misses rebound -Q.-'11, gf .wsfif Third row: Polk, Rumer, T.

UNDEFEATED FRESHIVIEN Oakwood's ninth grade pigskinners entered their season with little experience, but under Coach Earl Marsh's expert eye they were soon formed into one of the traditional dazzling, un- defeated teams that have given the junior high a very impressive record of undefeated seasons in almost all of the past years. The tough freshman team featured a fast backfield composed of the Mantia brothers, Bart and Tony, Bud Swartztrauber and Bo Polk, while lim Buchanan, King Curtis and Pete Parker were outstanding on the line. In the initial contest the Lumberjacks shat- tered Belmont with passes and hard drives which sent the 'lacks to their first victory by a score of 35-O. Fairmont then made its bid for victory, but was thrown back by a very strong line to a defeat of 24 to 6. The Dragons were the only team to score against Coach Marsh's boys. Expert line bucks by Bart Mantia spelled the downfal of Troy in their first attempt by a score of 34-U. Asking for a return engagement on their own field, the Trojans were completely annihilated 42-0 in the highest scoring game of the season. Osborn was next on the list but was not quite strong enough and when the final gun sounded the Osbornites were on the short end of a 34-0 score. In the last game of the season Coach Marsh's squad went on the offensive for the second time when they invaded Xenia. Knowing that this was their last game, the Oakwood boys turned the contest into a complete rout by pushing their opponents under 41-0. With plenty of promise these future varsity men should bolster the senior team considerably in the following three years. ff?

Captain Seasholes held the all-important role of goalie, and from this position she cheered her teammates on with hearty yells. A mighty right fullback was Cap- tain Christian, who decided to make a goal in the last game with Fairmont but never quite made it. Both of these experienced stars gave friendly and helpful advice to the rest of the cast. Hayner, big producer of outstanding hockey squads, completed another remarkable season. A familiar and beloved figure to the players who have worked under her, Hayner has been a good friend, helpful adviser, and a joking companion to those who know her.

Some of the signatures on that famed contract were those of veteran players Sea-Sea, Church, Chris, lane, Sam, Frankie, Ellen, Ianie, and Phyl, in addition to rising newcomers Smitty, Spilly, Betty, Wills, and Lenning. Also a few retired actresses-Dot, Margie, Suzie, and Aggie-returned to the studio their last year to make a successful comeback.

Phyl Condit of the mighty swing added D9S'Dag , 'O .f 610 C9 a goal to center Churchman's two, thus topping Antioch 3-0, while later Fairview visited the Oak- wood lot to be defeated 7-0. On a muddy and slippery field with the rain whipping their bare legs, the Lumberjills vanquished Fairmont with Aggie, Margie, Iane, Church, Dot, and Phyl each scoring at least one goal. Again Antioch suc- cumbed to Oakwood's glamour gals to the score of 5-0, and even the University of Cincinnati couldn't stop these invincible players from Oak- wood who really put on the power to win the game 8-0. The traditional junior-senior game, which ended 0-0, brought to a close the brilliant hockey season of 1944. Clarabelle and Aqqie play u last game.
