THE ENGINEERS .mm w,-,.,i' V .rv- , Mr. Marsh, Miss Auld, Miss Steindorf, Mr. Alford The boys of S-15 spent their three years of senior high school life under the capable guidance of I. F. Alford. Homeroom activities were many and varied: during the first part of the week, Mr. Alford devoted his period to informal talks on school spirit, community life, and the desirability of concentration: Fridays were reserved for Bible readings. lust as Oakwood can never forget S-15, so S-l5 can never forget Mr. Alford. Four years ago the girls of S-13 were greeted by a new homeroom adviser, Miss Iosephine Auld, who soon proved that she could manage them capably in spite of her small size. They thoroughly enjoyed her read- ing of Seventeenth Summer and Starling of the White House. Parliamentary law was laboriously explained. At their Christmas party the girls exchanged gifts among them- selves and filled baskets with food and cloth- ing for an unfortunate family. Despite the unlucky number, S-13 is still tops. Early on a fall morning in 1940, a group of eager young students filed into I-3 to meet their new homeroom teacher. ln the spring of 1947 the same group left the presence of that same teacher, Oakwood's mathematical wizard, Earl Marsh. Mr. Marsh has guided his group through all its high school activities with a minimum of fuss, a task which would have broken a lesser man within a month. All through their high school years the girls of S-ll have been guided by our librar- ian, Miss Steindorf, whose good advice and interesting programs have helped to make the years enjoyable. The outstanding event every year has been the Christmas party with an exchange of gifts and preparation of baskets for the needy. The senior year's biggest proj- ect was packing boxes of clothing and food to send to the unfortunate families of Greece.
