Long will be our remem- brance and lasting will be our gratitude to those gracious guides who have led us so faithfully through the enchanting bewildering forest of knowledge. C85 Now the time has arrived for us to make our debut into the world of mermg a world of speed, science and accuracy. With so won- derful a background afforded us by our alma mater we shall pro- ceed urmhesitatingly with confidence of our success. lt is slowly and with heavy hearts that we leave this land of our dreams-this veritable Larid of Oz. . 193 Mr. Delbert Woodford Surveying the situation In Ianuary of this year Mr. Delbert Wood- ford of Columbus, Ohio, came to our city to take over his important duties as superin- tendent of the Oakwood Schools. Mr. Woodford has had widely-varied ex- perience in the field of education. Upon his graduation from Mt. Pleasant High School in 1922, Mr. Woodford became an elementary school teacher and principal in Warren Town- ship. Five years later he accepted the position of superintendent of schools at Yorkville, Ohio, which he held for nine years. From 1925 to 1931, he also served as a member and clerk of the board of education at Mt. Pleasant. In 1933 Mr. Woodford became county superintend- ent of schools at Steubenville, Ohio. He re- mained in this office for eight years and in 1941 was made assistant state superintendent of public instruction, a position which he held until he came to our school. Mr. Woodford received his Bachelor of Science degree in Education from Kent State University in 1931, and his Master of Arts degree from Ohio State University in 1944. ln 1945 he taught a summer quarter in graduate school at Ohio State. During his leisure time Mr. Woodford turns to golf and fishing for recreation. He likes to read historical fiction, and enjoys movies, es- pecially those with historical backgrounds. Miss Campbell 19 Mr. Lewis Iohn N. Lewis not only serves as principal of the senior high school, but also instructs the sophomores in the practical application of the Pythagoran theory and holds his famous corrective class for truants and general law- breakers after 3:16. Mr. Lewis this year has further supervised the senior commencement. He also aids the students by attending to matters of college application and writing favorable recommenda- tions. Probably the most colorful figure at Oak- Wood is I. Mack Hummon. Besides being assistant principal of the junior high school and head of the math department, he is our extremely energetic football coach: and under his direction the tennis team has been very successful. But even more than for these ac- tivities, Mr. Hummon is famous for his sense of humor that makes even such frightening subjects as plane geometry and algebra seem interesting. As commander-in-chief of the junior high, Mr. Allan Zook is always ready and willing to lend a hand to his four hundred wards. In ll Mr. Hummon addition Mr. Zook further baffles his students with exponents, coefficients and the unknown mysteries of x. After three years of supervision his proteges are prepared to enter the domains of the senior high school where they practice the valuable knowledge learned in the junior high. Mr. Zook Mr. McGowan: Mr. Hoffman: Mr. Iohnson Stanley McGowan is the tower of strength. both physically and mentally, in the junior and senior high schools. From his vantage point of six feet four inches above the ground, he instructs his pupils in social science, Ameri- can history, and automobile training. He also swings a mean club as the golf coach, and he is the head of the curriculum committee shap- ing next year's school schedule. Even though A. M. Hoffman's favorite ex- pression seems to be, Let's just erase the whole thing and start over, he is well liked by all students to whom he teaches algebra, geometry, mechanical drawing and printing. His ability to pick out errors in drawings at ten feet and his trick of waiting till a student is through before pointing out a mistake, make the boys and girls wonder at times, but they still swear by him more than at him. Mr. Oliver Iohnson has just joined the ranks of sport coat wearers this year adding a couple of classy numbers to his wardrobe. Mr. Iohn- son furthers the knowledge of Oakwood stu- dents by teaching them the fundamentals of American and ancient history, and social science. After school Mr. Iohnson is seen either in the industrial training room running a lathe or out on the hockey field where he alone constitutes the whole crowd. We are guessing that one teacher of Oak- wood is haunted at night by an incessant click-click and instead of counting sheep she counts typewriters to end her insomnia. You have guessed it-Miss Helen Kimmel. Besides her numerous typing classes, Miss Kimmel also has classes in bookkeeping and stenog- raphy and furthermore, she stencils and prints the Oakleaflet. Miss Kimmel is looking for a rocket ship to carry her from Miamisburg into Oakwood to alter her early-morning rising. Miss Pauline Bowman is another newcomer to Oakwood this year. After a year in her French courses her students are able to say savoir faire and parlez-vous francais when they travel in Paris or Calais. Highpoint of the year for her French students is a two thousand word theme to be correctly written in French. Besides Miss Bowman also teaches eighth grade English and during the noon hour she is seen strolling about the school grounds, admiring the green growth. Miss Margaret Steindorf, librarian, is always ready to help students look up references and details to complete research themes before the deadline. She is responsible for several junior homeroom parties to celebrate the yule- tide and other holidays. Miss Steindorf aids the junior high students in library instruction, including knowledge of the Dewey Decimal System: this instruction will be invaluable to them in their future college days. To a willing and amiable helper we say thanks. Miss Kimmel: Miss Bowman: Miss Steindorf 12 Earl H. Marsh, who enlivens the halls with his checked sport coats and striped suits, also instills into his students' minds the use of geometrical axioms and postulates. Besides, Mr. Marsh familiarizes the juniors with the un- known x in advanced algebra. ln the fall Mr. Marsh led the ninth grade football team to numerous victories, often playing the part of coach, water-boy, cheerleader, and fan simultaneously. The most versatile and busiest teacher of Oakwood is probably Iohn Martin-dramatics and public speaking coach, and Spanish in- structor. Mr. Martin has probably been in more schools in Ohio and traveled to more cities than any other person because of the N. F. L. contests. Mr. Martin has also gained prominence as a writer under several pen- names and his family states that he is a better- than-average cook. His favorite expression during the year was, Where can I get a lb. of butter? i Howard Nicely is a newcome to Oakwood this year, hailing from Tiffin, Ohio. Mr. Nicely is a jack of all subjects, teaching public speak- ing, ninth grade English, and social science. He has attended Wittenberg and Lee Universi- ties and Toledo College: at presents he is working on his Ph. D. Mr. Nicely can boast Mr. Bigelow and Mr. Alford Mr. Marsh: Mr. Martin: Mr. Nicely of one of the most novel and strangest hobbies for he collects old shoes, belonging to the members of his family. ln future years he hopes to gild and display them. Coach Ed Bigelow, known for his dry sense of humor and subtle remarks, is popular among both boys and girls. Among his daily tasks are keeping the boys of S-22 quiet, teach- ing his ancient history and general science classes and guiding our baseball teams to numerous victories. He also finds time for out- side interests-such as painting houses in his summer vacations, travelling to Delaware, Ohio, and being entertained by his son, Dick. Mr. Bigelow not only plugs away at his own teamsters, but also is an ardent admirer and fan of the big league teams. Guiding the junior boys of S-15 is Mr. Iohn F. Alford, who is interested in all school activi- ties and is always willing to lend a helping hand to anyone. He is an ardent follower of both sports and public speaking, and is the fervent coach of the rough eighth grade football team. He is especially liked by the girls on the varsity hockey team for giving them suggestions during practice and boosts during games. Mr. Alford teaches ancient his- tory to his sophomores, eighth grade social science, and conducts quiet study halls. I Mr. Crum Mr. McClellan Mr. Dougherty Here we find the two chemists of Oakwood High, Carlos Einstein Crum and George McClellan, discussing the future of atomic energy and synthetic rubber, while Iohn Dougherty ardently tries to Work a Word in edgewise. Besides teaching his regular classes in chemistry and physics, Mr. Crum this year has taken on the instruction of a course in aviation. Mr. McClellan is known throughout the school as an early riser, for he often arrives at the same time as the service-men. When strange sounds issue forth from I-13, one can guess that it is one of Mr. Dougherty's Welders or machinists practicing for the future. Three members of our faculty who try to instill in their students the beauty of Shakes- peare and the necessary grammar needed tc carry on a readable correspondence are Mrs. Maria Bender, Miss Mildred Campbell, and Miss Madeline Myers. The Oakleaflet takes up much of Mrs. Bender's time, along with her position as head of the English department. Miss Campbell, while faithfully prodding the Acorn staff to meet deadlines, teaches English, Spanish, creative writing, and journalism. She was forced to leave us at the middle of the year, and her place was capably filled by Mrs. Luiclle Riley, who brought the Acorn through to a successful conclusion. Miss Myers, a new- comer to the Oakwood faculty this year, teaches English and also supervises the fourth period study hall. Miss Campbell Mrs. Bender Miss Myers 14 Miss Baker Miss Auld Miss Page Miss Georgia Baker: learned instructor of Latin and German, astounds her students with swift translations and baffles them with tests on he exploits of Caesar and Hercules. In addition to her classes Miss Baker also ad- vises the Iunior Bed Cross Committee and participates in organizing the Miami tests. Miss Weber Mrs. Russell Miss Mendenhall 157 Miss Iosephine Auld handles English courses in the junior high school along with some of the junior Latin classes. Besides -these subjects Miss Auld also coaches the junior high girls' hockey team. She consistently sends a well trained team to the senior squad, a team instilled with the ideals of good play and fair play. Miss Miriam Page, who specializes in senior English, had her class on its toes throughout the entire year with little surprises, large homework assignments and college-level tests. Her students will appreciate, in time, these tests of ability and they will never forget them. Miss Lou K. Weber and Miss Gertrude Mendenhall often envy Mrs. Helen Russell's position as home economics teacher when the tantalizing odors from the up-to-date kitchen drift into the corridors. Miss Weber, fine arts teacher, encourages all the potential Rem- brandt's of her classes, in addition to carrying on her own fine work. Miss Mendenhall, also an art teacher, reveals the art of modeling clay and making stained glass Windows to her classes in the junior high. When she left for Phoenix, Arizona, she was replaced by Mrs. Herr. Besides her classes in cooking, Mrs. Russell teaches the girls sewing and child care. 1 Yxxsi Hollne Mr. Gates C18 M . r Andrews Versatile Sam Andrews, boys' athletic di- rector and proud displayer of many loud- striped ties, has sparked his basketball and football teams to numerous victories this year. In addition to coaching the teams, Mr. Andrews has boosted school spirit with his fiery pep talks during Monday morning and pep assem- blies. Filling the important position as coach of girls' athletics is Miss Bess L. Hayner, who also explains why the grass is green and the sky blue to her ninth grade biology classes. Admired by all, Miss Hayner gives freely of her time and knowledge, and the fine records of her teams are the result. Teaching future opera stars and directing the Oakwood band is the job of genial Philip Gates. Mr. Gates has gained city-wide recogni- tion for his music department by its many appearances this year. As co-director of the Oakwood Follies and Frolic, Mr. Gates has greatly boosted the music fund. Mrs. Rees Miss Stewart Miss Helen Rees, secretary of the board of education, cmd Miss Nadine Stewart, senior high office secretary, are here checking the financial status of the school. Miss Stewart left us at the middle of the year to become the bride of Lt. Paul Bergman of the U. S. Navy. They are now residing in Chicago, and we all miss her capable handling of the myriad tasks necessary in the operations of a school system. Miss Anne Campbell courageously took over her job and has proved to be very efficient in the office routine. As secretary to the board of education. Miss Helen Rees collects money from the many tuition students of Oakwood High. Teachers keep in constant touch with Miss Rees as she has charge of faculty payrollsp and like all Americans, on March 15, she, too, has a headache: for one of her many duties is the computation of the school's income tax. Keeping the junior high in the black is the work of Miss Kathryn Kyne as here she checks the attendance record. Besides running the junior high office, Miss Kyne teaches third period shorthand. When some former Oakwood student gains recognition as a renowned artist or engineer, some measure of his or her success can be attributed to our faithful deans, Captain and Mrs. Thomas D. Brown, Ir. These two are always ready and willing to give friendly counsel to the seniors concerning vocations or college. In addition, Captain Brown intimidates his various history classes by using the fiendish exams put out by colleges. Highlight of the year occurred when he received a piece of lead pipe from his seniors to fulfill his life's ambition of clubbing some unruly student over the head with same. Guiding her classes through the deep chan- nels of English and American literature as 4175 Miss Kyne well as to their respective vocations and col- leges, is Mrs. Brown. This charming member of our faculty is also advisor of the Girls' League, and a large part of the success of that organization can be directly attributed to her, capable leadership. Deans: Mr. and Mrs. Brown Standing: David Derrick: R. E. Gould. Seated: R. A. Parker: Frederick Heckert: Rowan Greer, Ir.: Robert Oelman: Mrs. George R. Murray. The Oakwood Board of Education operates under two main functions-that of levying taxes on the Oakwood property and acting as a board of directors. Under the latter head- ing come the employing of teacher, determin- ing of the curriculum, approving of rules and regulations, and other numerous tasks. Betty Economides and Mrs. Bonqartz The board is composed of Robert S. Oel- man, president: Rowan A. Greer, Ir., vice- presidentp David Detrick: Frederick Heckertg Mrs. George R. Murray: R. E. Gould: Dr. David Reese: and R. A. Parker, clerk. One of the many tasks performed by the board of education this year has been the installation of lights in the football stadium and an addition of 3,000 seats. Binding up broken bones and weighing and measuring the students are a few of the duties of Mrs. Emma Bongartz, nurse, and Harry Lautenschlager, doctor. Teachers and students alike find the clinic a valuable rest haven. In addition the clinic prescribes treatment for the aches and pains and diagnoses future medical cases. Dr. Lautenschlager who is always peering down students' throats, finds that on the whole Oakwood pupils are healthy with only a few cases of flu, measles, and mumps breaking out. WG X753 123 THE PCTENTATES Miss Kimmel Mr. Bigelow Miss Weber Mr. Crum S-3 S-22 S-1 S-21 Taking over Miss McDonald's position to the Bond Winning homeroom was Miss Kim- mel, coming to the girls of S-3 in their junior year. Although she was their homeroom ad- visor for only two years, the girls got to know her well, and many good times have been shared by them. Miss Kimmel never failed to try to lead her girls to victory in any school competition. Mr. Bigelow, better known as Coach , will long be remembered by the boys of his homeroom for the fair play and good times with which he was always generous. To the boys of S-22, Coach is just another one of the gang, never afraid to break down and laugh at a good joke. Whether or not the boys listened, Coach could always be depended on for a friendly word of advice. 1207 Miss Weber has proved an able and friendly advisor for the girls in S-l through the six years of their high school days. She has guided them spiritually as well as edu- cationally by reading a selection from the Bible or an appropriate poem every morning. The girls in Miss Weber's homeroom have had many good times planning parties and par- ticipating in school activities together. Mr. Crum, the scientific sentinel of S-21, starts every morning with a bang from his gavel. His pleas to the boys for quiet and co- operation are usually ignored, but they will never forget his encouragement during the direst hours of need Kusually before exams? and his willingness to enter into any fun that the boys may have had planned. KThis last statement must not be taken to broad1y.J CHRISOULA APOSTELOS O. S. A. 3: Honor Roll 1: Girls' League 2, 3. 4: N. F. L. l. 2: Class Play 3, 4. IAMES O.

The government of Oakwood High School is the Oakwood Student Association, which is composed of the student body and the stu- dent council.

D. Brown, the faculty advisor. The second semester officers were Bruce King, president: Charles Huber, vice- president: Lois Engelking, secretary: and Marilyn Smith, treasurer. Through the student association, the students are allowed to govern themselves and to show their opinions on school matters. One of the important matters handled by the student council was the confusion in the cafeteria line at noon. The council established the use of tickets which are distributed every morning to insure an accurate count of the lunches to be prepared. Robert Scheibe, Iames MacDonald, and Daniel McClure were ap- pointed to keep the line in order. The council also granted the student's re- quest for a noon study hall. Yvonne Attwood, lack Ward, and Dick Becker were on the corn- mittee for organizing the study hall in S-5. lack Ward, Doodle Walters, and Dick Becker were put in charge of the pep assem- blies preceeding the football and basketball games.

The goal of 5200.00 was met and passed with a contribution of 3215.00 The two highest homerooms in the drive were the sophomore boys' homerooms. The Bond Drive, starting in September and ending December 21st, was under the capable management of Mary Louise Evans and Mary Elizabeth Behm. The junior high over subscribed it's quota and the upper classmen followed suit. The Iunior Red Cross Drive started March lst and ended March 15. The chairman of the girls was Ieanne Feight, chairman of the boys was Tom Rambo, and the faculty advisor was Miss Georgia Baker. Un- der the leadership of these people the Oakwood stu- dents contributed S207.00. Certificates on enrollment in the Red Cross of 1946 were presented to all home- rooms with 100f7L enrollment. Previously in the year the senior high contributed gifts to the Patterson Field Christmas Party which was sponsored by the Red Cross. l57l Ieanne Feight and Tom Rambo happily discuss their big plans for the Junior Red Cross Drive.

We've done our best toward presenting a vivid record of the school year '46 and we will always be grateful for the firm background afforded us by your sagely advice. We would like to reminisce for a few lines and re-enact for you some of those scenes so familiar to you before your departure. Over in one corner is Ieanne Feight, our senior editor, and her assistants discussing graduation pictures and other subjects. In an- other corner is Nancy Nash who is usually reading a good book or worrying about her faculty section. The activities section. which is found all over the room, is colored by the dry humor of Leslie Candor. Slumped in a small chair is Bob Bishop, sports editor deluxe, who is usually dreaming of sports. Ruth Burke, another sports editor, has lent her feminine charms to the betterment of girls' sports layouts. Pounding the keys off his typewriter is copy man Chad Graham who is usually trying, seldom in vain, to make a last minute deadline. Spreading good will about the room is stenography editor, Katherine Stumm, when she is not casting pearls to features editor, Yvonne Attwood, who specializes in features editing.

Business manager Ruth McBride can usually be found at the end of a long line of figures balancing the books. Sue Gruss is often seen circulating about stimulating circulation. Sulk- ing around the room is Dick Blomquist who dictates orders to the advertising staff.

Mr. Iohn M. Martin, director of the National Forensic League of Oakwood High School, received this year the Diamond Key, an award given to speech coaches having more than 1000 points. One of these points is equal to 10 contest points earned by student speech- ers. There were six contests-Hamilton, Colum- bus, Springfield, Arlington, Lima, and the Western Ohio contest at Oakwood-leading Mary Elizabeth Behm, president oi the Oakwood chapter-, ot the National Forensic League. C623 up to the state contest at Columbus in April. To qualify tor the state it was necessary to get three firsts in the six preliminary contests. Oakwood had more speechers qualified than any other school in Ohio. There were Bob Scheibe and Susie Simons in dramatic decla- mation, Tom Aldredge and Bob Husman in humor-Marion Bergen qualified but was un- able to attend, Bill Cox and Albert Reuther in original oratory, Chuck Huber and Chris Davis in oratorical declamation, lldon Living- ston in extemp, and the debate team-Bob Scheibe, Charles Russell, George Murray, and Dick Becker. Bob Scheibe won first place in dramatic declamation which qualified him for the contest at Syracuse, New York, which he won also and then went on to Northwestern University for the final national contest. The Western Ohio contest was held at Oakwood High School this year. Oakwood again won the sweepstake trophy by winning more points than any other school. Cups were won by Chuck Huber, Tom Aldredge, Albert Reuther, and lldon Livingston. Third place ribbons were won by the debate team and Chad Graham. Bob Scheibe broke the record at Oakwood by having the most points in the N. F. L. He massed over 430 points in debates and dra- matic declamation. Mary Elizabeth Behm, president of the Oakwood Chapter of the National Forensic League, has done a splendid job oi handling the activities of the largest chapter in Ohio. She also was very active in speech contests and Noontide clubs. First row: Lantz, Raush, Noyes, Bowers, C. Young, M. Smith, Webb, Yoder, I. Dye, Lenning, Carolyn Bartels and Tom Ald McGervey, Shook.

The first play of the year was the suspense packed production of The Singapore Spider with the leading roles played by Lou Young and Kay Fish assisted by Connie Focke, Kelsey Marechal and Bill Solarek. The next play was an old melodrama of the hills entitled He Ain't Done Right By Nell. Carolyn Bartels played the part of the innocent, little Nell and Tom Aldredge took the part of Iack, Nell's sweetheart. Marion Bergen had the audience's sides splitting in the role of grand- mother. In every melodrama there has to be a villain who in this case was Bob Scheibe. Dottie Lenning was also hilarious as the school teacher. In May the senior class presented Almost Eighteen, a Henry Aldrich type comedy of typical teenagers. The cast included Tom Al- dredge, Phyl Condit, Bob Scheibe, Carolyn Bartels, Marion Bergen, Anne Baker, Iohnny Whalen, Vern Dowler, Lou Young, Bill Cox, Patty Marshall, and Connie Focke. In connection with the music department, the dramatics class also presented the Oak- wood Follies of l946. There were laughs ga- lore. Skits included a bar room scene, the barber shop quartet, a scene from a display window, a shadow operation, singing commer- cials, Tony Mantia's impersonation of a soldier, Tom Aldredge's version of an old-fashioned and a modern girl saying good-night, and the never to be forgotten Oakwood chorus. Marion Bergen and Tom Aldredge were in- valuable throughout the year. They not only played leading roles in plays and skits but also represented Oakwood in the field of humor at all the contests. Bob Scheibe, the boy who is good at every- thing, displayed his talents throughout the year in the dramatics department. He Won second place in the United States in dramatic declamation and on the train coming back from that contest he learned his lines for the senior play, Almost Eighteen which was to be held two days later. This is just an example of Bob's unbelievable ability to undertake and excell in so many activities. Mr. Iohn M.

Lumber I ack Gridders Romp Featuring one of the fastest squads in the annals of Oakwood history, the Lumberjacks annihilated almost all opposition to emerge with the sparkling record of seven wins against one tie and one defeat. Up to the Troy contest, seven opponents had been unable to cross the 'Iacks' twenty-yard line while the first team held the field, and while the Thundering Trojans put a halt to our scoring spree, even they were able to amass only three six-pointers among them. With the team composed almost entirely of seniors who had played together since their freshman year, Coach Sam Andrews capably directed them into their successful season with his T and single-wing formations, which kept the opposition guessing during the game. Combining speed with low charging, the line gave proof of its strength time and time again, while the fast, slippery backs amazed their assailants with one of the trickiest sets of plays to be seen around these parts this season. Behind good blocking, a duo of seniors in halfback Dean Shroyer and quarterback Bob Bishop kept the team as a constant scoring threat from any point on the field with their shifty end runs, hard line smashes, and good broken field running, plus their excellent pass combination. Right along with the two was Iunior Iack Graef, who, also with good blocking, made many brilliant and spectacular end runs and was constantly outfooting the defenders on his way to pay dirt. Plugged competition was aroused around the fullback position, but when the smoke cleared, sophomore Bart Mantia held the work horse sport in his capable hands. Third row: Whalen, Mgr., P.

All three were excellent blockers, and while Bishop, Page and Mantia shared the kicking duties. Buchanan and Page split the extra point place- ments between them. Lumberjack boosters were quite unprepared for the Oakwood line. When they saw this machine in action for the first time at Lima South, considered one of the state's more powerful teams, they were amazed at the team- work of the Big Five and the ends Iim Atwell, a senior who sparked the squad with person- ality and ballsnagging ability, and Bill Cass, a junior and one of Oakwood's best defensive ends. The Big Five is now a popular and well-earned name given to the five unflinching seniors playing at the tackle, guard, and center positions. Since this unit worked as one man, it would be almost impossible to pick out the outstanding player, so we will take them from tackle to tackle: Bruce King, a fast and evasive right tackle constantly breaking up end runs: Bob Bush, a solid and immovable rock at the guard position: Iohn Boyd, pivotman and tops as a line backer: Ioe Gurnick, a small quick guard who continually gave opponents a five man backfield: and Steve Bernard, one of the hardest men on the line to block out of a play. For this powerful line, none too much praise can be given to Coach Mac Hummon, who is well known at Oakwood for his faithful line mentoring and timely defensive suggestions lUST IN CASE .... Traveling to their initial fray under the lights of the Lima South gridiron, the 'lacks found themselves heavily outweighed. But in resorting to speed and the airways, they outgained their opponents to set up the lone scoring chance of the game with a 40-yard Shroyer to Bishop aerial, only to find that South's line had stiffened and was impreg- Mgrs. Whalen, Linxweiler and Iames confer with faculty manager Bigelow. A hott' 410 new movado B35 nable. The final gun found both teams held scoreless. Oakwood then began to roll over its op- ponents as a consolation for its previous in- ability to score, and took the next contest from Cincinnati Mariemont 32-0, behind halfbacks Dean Shroyer and lack Graef. In their first night visit to the U.D. Stadium, the 'lacks came up against a stubborn Wilbur Wright outfit. Only after a continuous mixing of offensive plays aided by quarterback Bishop's punt going out on the Wright four- yard line was fullback Mantia able to crack the Pilots' forward wall to set the final score at 7-0, for Oakwood. Xenia's Buccaneers and a scrappy Lebanon team were the next to try the stability of the Oakwood line, but before either eleven could recover from the surprising power of the Lumberjacks' forward wall, the Buccaneers found themselves under a 32-12 rout, while the '9e Udd 8 Gldrq po. hu Warriors of Lebanon were driving into a 26-13 loss. Kick-Off. Oakwood's Lumberjacks score on the first play with quarterback Bob Bishop swiveling 68 yards through the Stivers' line to tally. Another highlight of this 19-0 game was the touchdown by end Bill Cass on a Hidden Ball' trick which still has the Tigers, spectators, and even the city sportswriters in confusion. Wilmington's Quakers then invaded the 'lacks home grounds but were repelled 34-6 in an almost complete ground attack due to the prevailing weather. Three players broke into the scoring column for the first time with center Iohn Boyd recovering a blocked kick and continuing on to score, and Dick Page and lack Nash turning on their power to crack the line for their respective tallies.

But even despite a second score resulting from the Shroyer to Bishop combination, the Thundering Trojans couldn't be stopped and gave the Lumberjacks their only defeat by a score of 20-12. Routing the Red Devils of Tipp City 27-6 in a retaliation game for the defeat the week before, Oakwood continually sent Shroyer and Graef on to their scores, with Shroyer crossing the white stripe three of the four times. Realizing that this was their last game for Oakwood, four senior linemen dropped into the backfield while the two senior backs moved into the tackle positions on the line during the last quarter, thereby creating one of the more memorable events of the season. Oakwood wins tip. After a slow start, Oakwood's courtsters rounded into form to finish the season with seven wins and six losses. Coach Sam Andrews, with three returning regulars to build on, drilled his team into an effective cage machine working around his double pivot . Giants Iohn Whalen and Dick Blom- quist teamed at the pivots with Dean Shroyer, Don Munch, and Bruce King working at the guard slots. Bob Bishop, Dick Miller, and Tom Rambo, doing their share of the work in emergencies, rounded out the varsity squad. The 'Iacks opened the season against a scrappy Xenia Central five and suffered from the visitors' accuracy at the basket. The game Oakwood ---,.,-.,- ..,...... 1 9 Xenia Central ...,,,.,..

Iohn Whalen threw in ten counters for the hapless cause. The following night Oakwood atoned for its opening loss at the expense of highly touted Springfield Catholic by a 34-24 count. Shroyer and King led the attack that night garnering 10 points each. Still unable to get into stride the 'lacks dropped a close decision to West Carrollton, 40-35. The following week the locals routed Lebanon 59-38, with skyscraping Iohnny Whalen taking honors with 22 points, the high- est of the season, while Dean Shroyer dropped in 16. Unable to find themselves for three quarters of the game, the 'lacks put on a belated rally which fell short of Parker Co-op, 35-33. They again had trouble getting started against Norwood: however, putting on a fast third quarter which erased an earlier deficit, they breezed to a 40-34 victory over the Cincinnati school. Don Munch led the attack with 12 points. Meeting the undefeated and highly rated Hamilton Catholic Rams, Oakwood played one of its best games. Matching the favored Rams point for point, the 'lacks led well into the third quarter and trailed by only three points with four minutes remaining, but suc- cumbed 50-38 in the waning minutes of the game. Dean Shroyer hit for ll counters, with the whole team sharing in the scoring. The determined Lumberjacks entertained Chaminade, City League Cham- pions, the following night and rallied in the fourth quarter to gain a well earned 36-33 win. Dick Blomquist dumped in six points in the fourth quarter to spark the rally while Bruce King led the victors with a 17 point total. Call of Hardwoods The Woodchoppers started fast against a determined Kiser team, building up a 19-8 first quarter lead which enabled them to coast to an easy 49-38 victory. Whalen, King and Munch led the scoring in the loosely played game. Again putting on a last quarter rally, the team defeated Wilbur Wright 32-29. Trailing 29-25 with four minutes to go, seven quick points and a freeze in the last two minutes brought victory to Oakwood. Shroyer paced the winners, tossing in 10 counters. Making their last regular season start, Oakwood was outscored by a red hot Eaton team, 70-52. Bruce King threw in 17 points for the losers, but the locals as a whole were unable to match Eaton's uncanny accuracy on their home court. The Lumberjacks, after drawing a first round bye, met Spring- field Public in the second round of the district tournament. Hitting from all angles, they built up an early 8-0 lead and coasted to a 42-30 victory. Led by Don Munch's long set shots, the 'Iacks quickly rounted the visitors' zone defense in a spree which saw four field goals scored by the first five shots from the floor. v Blomquist tries again Meeting Chaminade in their second tournament start, the Loggers turned as cold as they had been hot in the preceding game as they fell before the Eagles 40-17. The 'lacks took five minutes to score their first field goal and couldn't increase their tempo as the game progressed. Thus the cagers of 1945-46 bid the hardwood farewell with the memories of a creditable season behind them. The team had difficulty in getting started in the early games but wound up in Well polished form. They maintained a re- markable offensive record which follows the modern trend of wide open play. Although they scored only 19 and 17 points respectively in the first and last games, the 'lacks averaged more than 40 points per game in the intervening frays. Probably the high points of the season were the vic- tories over Chaminade, Wilbur Wright, and Springfield Public, and the terrific battle given Hamilton Catholic. One of the best assets of the squad was the balance of scoring, with every member of the starting five contributing his share in the point total. High scoring honors for the season went to Captain Bruce King who dropped in 116 points from his guard slot. Pivotman Iohnny Whalen grabbed runner- up honors with 100 points. The Reserve Team led by Dick Miller, Bob Austin, lim Buchanon, and Bo Polk piled up a record which points to a promising season next year. In the annual Iunior-Senior game the Seniors subdued the underclassmen, 47-31. Special credit should be given to the man behind all of this, Coach Sam Andrews, for his work and devotion which made possible a successful season and for his special accent in coaching which leads to good sportsmanship and fair play.

Fromps Win by a Nose Featuring teamwork, good ball-handling, and spirit, this year's intramural teams pre- sented the best season in many years. The Fromps, Moonmen, and Hobos led the teams and finished in a three-way tie for first place. The league was composed of the Vlahoes, Honey-Boys, Hobblers, Rover Boys, Panthers, Tornadoes, and Truants, along with the top three. With three returning lettermen, Coach Stanley McGowan found a high-powered nucleus for this year's squad. Six games in the Greater Dayton League have been scheduled and on many warm afternoons the linkmen could be seen teeing off on nearby courses perfecting their form. Bob Austin's long drives, Fred Breidenbach's putts, and Gayle Price's irons were loudly applauded by Blue and Gold followers. As the Acorn goes to press we have fond hopes of seeing Oakwood go far in this year's tournament. In the tournament, played at season's end, was displayed some of the best intramural basketball ever seen on the Oakwood courts. The final game featured the Fromps versus Hobos, a thrilling tilt which the Fromps won 25-20. After the varsity team finished its schedule, an All-Star team of intramural players chal- lenged it to a game. The varsity squeaked through to a close 60-42 win.

Comprising a tight infield were Bruce King. top-fielding first baseman: Dean Shroyer, hard- hitting second sacker: and the Mantia broth- ers, Bart and Tony, at short and the hot corner respectively. Bounding out the infield was the fast but cool pitching of Bob Bishop with Vern Dowlar adding his strength behind the plate. An excellent outer defense trio who added their hitting powers to the plate were Bill Solarek, Dick Miller, and Don Munch. Close teamwork and strong confidence among the infield and battery provided many spectacular plays throughout the season along with the top flyhawking of the outfield. Surprising many opposing pitchers was the strong batting order of the Oakwood team, with southpaw hitting lead-off man Bob Bishop, Third row. left to right: Mgr. Tate, Mee, Iordan, Blomquist, Smith.

Coach Mac Hummon was pleased with the team's abilities and by the fact that only Schwartz will graduate this year,' leaving almost the entire team with a year's experi- ence in hard competition.

Couch Hummon' Mac shows em how Coach McClellan Coach McClellan's returning trackmen proved themselves capable of handling most of the competition in the coming season. The times of the running and distances of the field events in the first contest against Franklin equalled or bettered those winning early meets of the other surrounding schools. The Franklinites fell to the 'lacks by the count of 64-45. Representing one of the top flight 880 yard relay teams of this district was Charles Russell and Pat lrelan, experienced 220 yard dash men, Dick Bradmiller, dash man or Burnham Scott of low hurdle fame, and Bob Bishop, returning century and anchor man. Behind Bruce King, Dean Shroyer, and Steve Bernard. the high-jumping event is well represented. While Iim Atwell and Iohn Whalen take the high hurdles, lack Ward, Bob Schiebe, Dick Zoellner, and Vern Dowlar comprise the 440 men, as well as maintaining a good mile relay squad. In pole vaulting and shot putting Iack Graef, Dick Brad- miller, and Gayle Price can be relied on to constantly place in their respective events. Holding down the mile run are two Well trained leaders, Tom Linxweiler and Dick Kurz. In rounding out the events, Coach McClellan has shown much confidence in Ioe Gurnick and Ray Penn, half milers, and Dick Blomquist, Bruce King, and Bob Bishop in the broad jump.

Osborn Bath presented the first opposition for the Marshmen, but as fate would have it, Bath topped the 'Iacks 13-O. Stivers was the next to invade Oakwood and with the aid of some lucky breaks defeated the Marshmen 8-0. Averaging 31 points per game, the frosh cagers won .10 out of 14 games during the basketball season. Losing only twice to Cham- inade and once each to Belmont and Roosevelt, the junior high squad stopped such formidable opponents as Kiser, Fairview, Stivers, Roose- velt, Belmont, and Fairmont. Iim Kobes led the team in scoring with 124 points, while Iim Hause was second with 93. B1itz Creager and Dave Rambo along with Dick Iohnson completed the first team.

Her fairness, friendliness, and able coaching were extended to one and all, and were gratefully re- ceived by the weathered seniors and the green but eager underclassmen. 4787 nphyln Exciting games: tedious, but well-liked practices: and the wonderful leadership and understanding friendship of Miss Hayner add up to a sensational and undefeated season for Oakwood which will be long remembered as all the team's members progress along the road of life. The spirit, cooperation, and good sportsmanship displayed by all the girls of this year's class and all succeeding classes can be attributed to the guidance and helpful- ness of Hayner. Attired in white shirts reaching to their knees and shorts of every description and hue, 4 H1-anieu the girls once again with stick in hand Kbroken or otherwisel took to the hockey fields of Oak- wood.

Among the many schools and colleges which were played this year, Denison stands out in everyone's mind. The girls were most hospitably received, and after a delicious din- ner, which was consumed without any diffi- culty, were shown around the campus by their old friends, Iane Baker and Barbara Christian, who had played against them in the game. Fairmont, Fairview, Antioch, and the University of Cincinnati were each in turn defeated by Oakwood. Toward the end of the season, the team attended ct playday at Earlham College in Indiana, where the girls saw movies on the art of playing hockey and then practiced some of what they saw on the plains of Indiana. The senior-junior game topped off one of Oakwood's most successful years, with the juniors showing great promise of another out- standing year of victories. The varsity team of next year, with Dottie Lenning, who was continually racked by aches and pains: Marilyn Ouch, my front teeth! Smith: Nancy Nutt, who lives up to her name: Ioan Old Faithful Schadel: Mary lane Semper Paratus Wills and all her goalie rigging: and Betty Geiler No, not another Geiler: it can't be! will once again uphold our hockey traditions of sportsmanship, whole- someness, and congeniality. Watch those shins!! Ieanne, Lo and Nancy The hockey banquet, with ct sumptuous turkey dinner provided by the mothers ended the year with a bang. Following talks by Mr. Lewis and Miss Hayner, and the reading of the team's will and history, letters were passed out to the girls by Hayner, tearfully received, and carried home. The seniors want to express a feeling of gratitude and a wish for good luck to Hayner. They hate to leave her and the rest of the team. They will miss all that hockey has meant to them, and in years to come they will often think of the hockey fields of Oakwood. Mighty Managers? TRIBUTE T0 They're seniors-yes, they have played their last hockey game for Oakwood, but memories of the fun they've had together and the thrills of the games that have meant so much linger on. Game after game they played, and somehow their team could always win. Their skill, their daring, and their will to win has given Oakwood another unde- feated hockey season. Their devo- tion to their coach and her wise counsel has made them the cham- pions that they are. THE SENIORS Now they are leaving but hockey seasons will come again. We Who are left will have the responsibility of preserving the record which our seniors protected over the past sea- son. We find it difficult but inspiring to follow in the footsteps of so great a team. After they've gone they will not be forgotten especially by their coach who led them through the uncertainties of a successful season. So here's a tribute to the seniors, may their future hockey seasons be many and successful. POSIN' PRETTY x Gigi. Iecmne. Dottie Bergie and Phyl WAITIN' Dottie and Phyl AW G'WAN! Gigi and Ieanne Also lack As spring rolled around the tennis team was seen trudging toward the East Oakwood Club with racquets in hand. They practiced long and hard under the watchful eye of Hayner . Phyl, Bergie, Ruth, Ieanne, and GiGi-the returning lettcxrmen-formed the backbone of the team with the able support of several juniors: Dottie Lenning, Virginia Wise, Betty Geiler, Marilyn Smith and Nancy DeCamp. The senior high girls' basketball team had a brief but victorious season this year, defeat- ing the University of Dayton in its only game. The girls attended a playday at Miamisburg along with similar groups from Middletown and Fairmont. Oakwood's high point players were Marian Bergen and Dottie Lenning. Two bits, Bergen! Where's the ball Suspense 85 Junior High Hockey Miss Auld, Paula and Virginia Susie tells the girls Ninth Grade Hockey Squad cas Miss Iosephine Auld carried the junior high hockey team through a typically outstand- ing season, undefeated and unscored upon. On an outstanding team, the most promising players were Suzie Geiler, who could play any position like a veteran: Mary Focke, a power-house with spirit: Ioan Houk and Vir- ginia Webber, equally good, who took turns at center half: and Mary lane Chenoweth and Suzie Huber, who finally decided to become wings and did the position justice. The team played Fairmont twice, the scores being 8-O and 3-O, both in favor of Oakwood. The freshmen beat a promising eighth grade outfit and were in turn defeated by a superior sophomore squad.
