Steps we have traveled have given us knowledge for the glory beyond. Each step toward success will be traced back to our school, Oakwood. There we set our feet on the trail that will lead us to where we can seize the opportunity America provides us. We have had to take no oath, and make no promises. Our work has been what our own hearts spurred us on to do. The main spring of the desire to climb higher and to succeed is entirely within ourselves. From here on, it is up to us. We must resist defeat. The steps are ours to climb to victory! We sincerely hope that we can justify the time we have spent and fullfil the expectations of our teachers, fellow students, and parents by making our city, our state, our nation, and our world better places in which to live. ,A ,, ,, ,H Y, A In this yearbook we shall follow the old pros- pector who is our symbol for Oakwood students. He roams with enthusiasm through the years at the high school and finally arrives at his golden goal-Conv mencement. This will be a heap of fun, partner. So load the pack burro, tramp the dusty trail, and check the mile- stones as they turn up in the 1949 Acorn. C0 TE T5 -u N N Z' X ' x Q f fi? , ff' fa f 1 K o N 'I 1 f fll X .

The senior social calendar included two big events, the first of which was the class picnic, when students and advisers spent an evening of fun together. Then the Christmas holidays brought the much anticipated senior prom, Christmas Car- rouseln, with Dave Rambo and Joyce Weston reigning as king and queen. The financial project of the class was a sale of pencils. With profits from this sale, class dues, and proceeds from the plays, the class managed to purchase a fine gift. The girls of S-5 are indebted to Miss Hayner for her sound advice and friendliness in their home room. Mr. Martin deserves thanks for his faithful guidance of S-15. The girls of S-6 will never forget the cheerfulness and patience of Mrs. Bender, and Mr. Brown's humor and leadership were appreciated by S-18. .MMWX VISERS and CFFICERS CLASS ADVISERS, left to right: Mrs. Maria Bender, T.

Below: That Girls' League picnic was more fun: The Girls' League started the ball rolling early in September with a tea held in the newly- decorated lounge to welcome the new members. Next on the agenda was a picnic and treasure hunt held before the Fairmont game at Paw Paw Camp. Everyone had a wonderful time. Probably the program which will be remem- bered longest was the annual Christmas event, which was a huge success. After a delicious tur- key dinner the girls were entertained by a play and group singing of carols. With the coming of spring the mothers were entertained at a tea with a program featuring Rita Simmons, Ruby Graybill and the girls' chor- us line. There was also a Big-Sister party, at which the juniors introduced the freshmen to Girls' League and amused them with a circus. Ending the year was a Farewell dance held in the gym in the latter part of May Heading the Girls' League was Betsy Hunt- ing, presidentg joy Hallum, vice-president and treasurer, and Polly Griswold, secretary, as well as the council and numerous committees. The tireless efforts of Mrs. Eleanor Brown made all the fun and friendship possible and encouraged a democratic spirit among the girls.

These are possibilities, not probabiiiiies. so the chances are that Dayton, with several other cities of Ohio: will have an income tax as of April 1, 1949.

Between his performances at Keiths, Dick was interviewed backstage by twenty enthusiastic admirers who asked him questions about his childhood, career, and character. In answer to Bettyis question, Why donit you take your jacket off if you're so warm , Haymes replied, What, and give you the thrill of seeing my rippling muscles free?', Joanne Maginnis square dance was one of the hits of the junior social season.

Y , ' lf' 1 ,, 11,1-' fx ' 'The '49 Oakwood Football team found pros- HDEATH AL- pecting a little rough. The boys pitted all they had againstthe hardest schedule of foes in the school's history. It was the first year in the Mi- ami Valley League for the Lumberjacks. When the dust finally cleared, the jacks struck gold only once. The record shows one win and eight losses. Sam Andrews, Oakwood's hard-working coach, changed his line-up in every way pos- sible, trying to form a winning combination. In the hot morning drills, which started on August 20, Oakwood looked impressive with its nine returning lettermen. Promising points of .the team were: Heavies Bob Kearns, Connie Costas, Frank Wolfrum, and Bud Thomson on the line, Dick johnson's ace passing and kick- ing ability, Dick Stork's speed, and little Billy the Kid Breidenbach's know-how. After strenuous practice in the boiling sun, Oakwood took on Stivers at the home field in the lid-lifter of the season. Since Oakwood tamed the Tigers the last three years, the Fifth Street boys were out for blood. Their thirst was quenched when the East End boys scored first and then were never pressed. Stivers roared away to a 38 to 0 de- cision. The next week the jacks entertained Cin- cinnati Plainville at home. This time Oakwood swung into action and scored twice in a close contest. Stand-outs in this game were Dick johnson and Jim Hause. Front row, left lo right: Bill Breidenbach, Dick Antrobus, Stan Lage- drost, Bob Kearns, Bud Thomson, Jim Hause, Dick Johnson, Dick Stork, Dick Bowers, Jerry Coleman, Jim Kauffman, Frank Wolfrum, Tom Creager, Connie Costas, middle row: Jerry Amspaugh, Jim Brennan, John Henry, Jim Smiley, Dave Creager, Dick Scourfield, Then Oakwood stepped into the Miami Val- ley League for its first league encounter with the powerful Trojans of Troy. The big boys of the North snapped off a quick touchdown in early moments and from then on were never stopped. The final score was 61 to 0. Oakwood gained great experience from this first league en- counter. LEY DAYS Nevertheless the team didn't give up. It Ted Klees, Jim Parker, Jerry Pickering, Bob Kimes, Dick Collins, Tom Liesenhoff, jack Wurtz, Ewing Stummg back row: Charles Harbeson, Bob Gurnick, Kenny Zarbock, Ned Smith, Ranny Folkerth, Tom Marshall, Norris Harbold, Dick DeCamp, Dick Wilson, John Gano, Orval Cook, Clifton Samson, Jarvis Cain, Jim Costas, Joe Quartelg ab- sent: Ronald Baggott and Ronald Braley. Oakwood had another rough game with an equally potent foe for the next contest, play- ing the Vikings of Miamisburg. Again the for- eign team got the jump on the Lumberjacks and sped away to a rout. The score was 42 to 0. The next week the 'Jacks lugged the axes to Sidney and were chopped up when Sidney twanged the saws to beat them 55 to 6. had wonderful spirit in spite of tragedies. The next enemy was the traditional rival from down the line, Fairmont. The boys put forth a re- markable struggle against the Dragons before losing the ball game to the tune of 32 to 12. Passer Dick Johnson of Oakwood heaved a T. D. to Jim Hause for one 'Jack tally. jim Hause raced over the goal line for the other time and for his second touchdown of the evening. Then they ventured to Piqua, again to taste the bitterness of defeat. The team was held scoreless while the Indians piled up a big 46 points. Oakwood had its first annual homecoming game with Xenia the following week. There was a dad of dad's night, the crowning of the homecoming Queen, and a homecoming dance. Oakwood, however, lost the verdict 32 to 7 and the festivities were plagued by a continual down- pour of rain. The discouraged 'Jacks then ventured to Greenville for the season's finale. Again with the excellent sportsmanship that all Oakwood's teams possess, they took the sting of another defeat, 39 to 12. After one year's seasoning in the Miami Valley League, Oakwood will probably make a good showing next year. The school has a jolly, hard working coach. There should be no stop- ping the Oakwoodites once they get well started. 4 4., .:. in 5232 ' bfi , QMQ y , X5 J ' wif' Xia 2 ,uf f ' wywwsn 'ii Q fgffgf a iMv9fw.a. - ., v 1 it - jf' -K , 1 ,:.

TIPPING IN Merlin Eikenberry's 1948-49 edition of the Lumberjack basketball team won more games than any other Oakwood team since 1943. A record of nine wins and ten losses was piled up during the season. The jacks started the season strong with a 40-36 victory over West Carrollton's Warrior's. Johnson, Hause and Gould led the Oakwood at- tack. Coming from behind in the last quarter, the Lumberjacks edged out Parker Co-op 36-32. Next the jacks played the 1948 class B state champions, Eaton's Golden Eagles. The Jacks lost a hard fought game to Eaton, 32-30. jim Kobes put 13 points through the hoop in the Celina game but the jacks lost another close one, 34-31. The jacks invaded the coliseum next and returned with a 47-31 upset over the Bulldogs of Fairview. Hause led the attack with 15 points and johnson scored 12 while holding Fairviewis Olexio scoreless from the field. In the Piqua invitational tournament Oak- wood won the consolation trophy by downing Urbana, 47-27. Although Mel Roberts scored 15 points, the Pilots of Wilbur Wright and their towering center, Vaughan Taylor, edged the jacks 51 to 42 in the first game Still licking their wounds from football the jacks began the regular Miami Valley League basketball season. Failing to catch up with the Troy Trojans, they lost 59-48. Next the red-hot Miamisburg Vikings overpowered them 48 to 34. Although Dick johnson pushed through 18 points, the Jacks were edged out by their tra- ditional rivals, Fairmont, 37-31. A long shot in the last few seconds gave Sidney the necessary two points to defeat Oakwood, 38-36. CCont. P. 665 M f' ' Y ff, A ww we Q fa' lst gif 333- ' 2? A f Q 4 n ww n , 'iv .

Hause and Roberts combined ll and 10 points respectively to give the jacks their first Miami Valley League victory over the Piqua Indians, 38-35. The team proved its power when it routed the Alumni, 49-29. The jacks and johnson's 12 points gave the Xenia Central fans a scare, but the Bucs won 37 to 35. johnson and Gould led the jacks to a 50-35 victory over Greenville. A see-saw battle between the jacks and Osborn ended with Osborn on top, 53-48. johnson put in 21 points to lead the attack for Oakwood. The hard fighting Lumberjacks reached the semifinals in the Southwest district tournament. In the first round the Sidney Yellow jackets were held by the reserves for the last minutes. Gould and Hause helped the jacks to a 45-43 victory. In the second round Oakwood met the Miami Valley League champs, Xenia Central. To the amazement of the Xenia fans the strap- ping jacks pulled the major upset of the district tournament by edging the Buc's 31-29. Oak- wood collided with its traditional foe, Fairmont, in the semifinals. Although the team had a three- point lead at half time, the jacks lost 40-27. Sad news came at the end of the season when it was announced that Mr. Eikenberry was leav- ing for the basketball coaching post at Deni- son University. SCORES West Carrollton ....

OAKWOOD EXCELS IN IN TRAMURALS Commissioner Bill Breidenbach set up a 12- team intramural league this year. These teams- the Trojans, Bouncing Boys, 4-Fls, Sickly Six, Merchants, Monsters, Ramblers, Kanockers, Na- ture Boys, Happy Hooligans, Kentucky Colonels, and the Honers-played, as they have each year, on Friday at both the senior and junior high gyms. The Ramblers, a senior powerhouse, went through the season this year undefeated with the Kanockers close at their heels. Although they humiliated some of the weaker teams, they had some trouble with the first four teams. They only squeezed by the fourth place Hooli- gans by three points with the score being 16 to 13, while the third place Bouncing Boys bit the dust by only three buckets, with that score be- ing l5 10 7. The second place Kanockers were defeated by the Ramblers by just eight points. This score read 18 to 10. In the annual tournament thef inal game proved the Ramblers more than a match for the Kentucky Colonels. Playmaker Dave Rambo, captain of the Ramblers, swished the net for 24 points in this game. The final tally showed that the score was 70 to 28. One of the humorous situations in the league was the contrast in height between six-foot, eight-inch Bill Gruss of the Kentucky Colonels and Dick Sagebiel of the Sickly Six, who mea- sures just 5 feet. Other points of interest in the league were unusual shots of Sharpies like Howard Wagner, who literally flies up on the backboard for the rebound, and jack Wurtz, who was one of the most deadly shots in the league. This year's league provided much entertain- ment for both player and Observer. DESERT DITTIES What did I do? What in the world did I do? CAN WE EORGET Papa Klees' extraordinary fade-away shots? The time John Henry wavered back and forth between passing and shooting and finally fell down with the ball? That 104-10 score between the Ramblers and the Sickly Six in the basketball intramurals? The comparison between Bill Gruss and Ben Hur in their intramural basketball games? Come yout, come yout, come your my pretty BOWLI G For the first time in the history of the school an intra-mural bow- ling league was set up. It consist- ed of six four-men teams which played at the National Bowling Alleys. The Oakwoodites kept the pin boys busy for 12 solid weeks with the last time being a tourna- ment held out at McCook Bowl. In the league standings, the Lucky Strikes came in first, fol- lowed closely by the King Pins and Fire Balls. The last half of the field were the Bolars, the Alley Cats, and the Hupmobiles. jack Anderson, jerry Amspaugh, Dick Antrobus, and Bill Breiden- bach, who made up the Lucky Strike team, received the fruits of their victory during a Monday morning assembly. Each player was awarded a small gold bowling ball by Sam Andrews. Bob Kearns end- ed up the season as the high average bowler with a 140 average and jack Austin came in second with a 138 average. G. G., right: Bill Breidenbach, Ewing Stumm, Mr. Armbruster, jim Kauffman. In the popular sport, boxing, Oakwood sent three youths into the annual Dayton Daily News Golden Gloves tournament under the guidance of Marty Armbruster. The brave boys who en- tered were jim Kauffman, Ewing Stumm, and Bill Breidenbach. Kauffman was eliminated by a close decision in his first bout. Ewing Stumm won his first fight but was defeated in his second encounter. Killer Breidenbach, a bantamweight, hit his way into the semi-finals and then to the finals. In the finals little Willie, weighing 116W pounds, was defeated by a few points. He re- ceived a pair of little silver gloves for his ef- fort in reaching the finals Bowling, left, kneeling: Bob Kearns, Bill Breidenbachg standing: Dick Antrobus, jack Anderson, Jerry Am- spaugh. BATTER UP The Oakwood baseball team was a leading league contender with Lefty Dick johnson out in front. johnson's numerous victories in- cluded a perfect no-hit, no-run game against the usually power- packed Miamisburg team. He also limited Fairmont to one unearned run as he pitched a three-hitter and won 3 to 1. He was aided by such sluggers as Jim Hause, who hit for the circuit twice in the Fairmont gameg short- stop, Mel Roberts, and baseman, jim Kobes. swf 3919: Lenft to right: Ted Klees, Bob Morris, Dick Johnson, Mel Roberts. The chief fly chasers were Ted Klees, Don Kobes, and Dick Stim- son. Bud Thomson and Ned johnson at third and second base respective- ly rounded out the starting line-up. Ted Klees, Ned Johnson, Mel Rob- erts and Dick johnson shared the pitching duties. This was one of the best baseball teams Oakwood has had in years.

Prospects for a successful track season were good. Marty Armbruster, the new track coach, had two promising stars returning from last year's squad, Jim Gould and Gordon Jenks. When the season started, Jenks, Wilson, and Quartel were running the 100-yard dash. Jenks and Lochner, were in the low hurdles. Ritter, Stumm, Lane, and Rininger represented Oak- wood in the 880-yard run, while Fred Young, Ritter, and Rininger were in the mile run. Stumm was also entered in the pole vault. In the high jump, Gould, Ritter, and Cain were on top. Good and Gould ran the 440-yard dash for the Jacks. Quartel and Neumeister were Oak- wood's entries in the 220. The 880-yard relay team consisted of Quartel, Weston, and Wilson while Grosse, Lochner, Ritter and Neumeister were on the mile relay team. In the other field events Leakas, Cain, Wilson, Connie Costas, and Weston were throwing the shot while later in the meet they threw the discus. WHAT A RACKET!

TE DERFOOT TEAMSTERS GOLF The Oakwood golf team put a completely in- experienced group of linksmen on the greens this year. Since Dave Rambo was ineligible be- cause of residence, Mr. Andrews, the new coach, used Gene Folkerth, Jim Solarek, Jerry Seiler, and Bud McCune as the nucleus of the team. Although the golfers faced a tough schedule of foes in the City League again this season, they gave defending champions Wilbur Wright a tough battle for the league crown. The Oakwood yearling football team did better than the older team this year against league competition. It played five games with the freshmen, coming out victorious in three of the contests. Stand-outs on the team were Nor- man Sillin and Tony Pepper. The freshman basketball team succeeded in winning once while losing ten times. In the first game of the year the boys defeated Osborn 14 to 13. The rest of the games were sad defeats. The team played Belmont, Stivers, Miamisburg twice, Fairmont twice, Osborn, Xenia twice, and Franklin. Robert Finch proved to be the leading scorer of the team. The boys will go on to join the varsity and re- serves next season. , Aii. :,i,:Q1.A,?: .y , ,,,3,,, : ,, ,,,., ,, X , ..,. Q.

They eagerly began training and anxiously awaited the alum- nae game, but because of new rules, it was can- celled. An afternoon game with West Carrollton proved a victory, 7-0, with goals made by Vir- ginia f37, Betsy 125, Mary Jane, and Joanne. The reserves also won 6-0. Before football games the teams played two intramurals, which the varsity won, 5-2, and 5-l. The greatest accomplishment was the defeat of Fairmont. lt looked rather hopeless at the half when the score was 0-0, but Suzie Huber made the first goal which spurred the team on. The final score was 3-l with goals made by Suzie, Betsy and Joanne. The reserves also won 4-0. 74 FRG TIER Left to right, front row: Betty Kleinhcnz, Margaret Haefner, Velma Wahlman, Susie Sauer, Mary Jane Chenoweth, Virginia Webber, Sanda Otto, Dolores May, Janey Wurtz, Suzie Geiler, Margie Cornish, Betsy Hunting, Charlene Lewis, Robin Smith, Jane McCal- lister, Anne Davidson, Suzie Huber, middle row: Miss To offset this happiness the team suffered de- feat at Cincy, 4-2.

The first of these brought the feeling of anticipation and longing for a chance to play with those accom- plished seniors of three years ago. Only a few, Dolores, Paula Polk, Susie, and janey, received this honor, However, when the banquet came, janey, Susie, Paula, Dolores, Kenny and Ginny were awarded their letters. As sophomores these things will always be remembered-the elephant games which kept us busy when not practicing, the trips to Parks, and the skill of the seniors, which kept the sophomores on the bench. The junior year proved more eventful as Suzie Huber, Susie Geiler, janey, Dolores and Mary jane played with the first team. Everyone was very proud of the part the juniors had in the games. junior memories include the two unhappy Fairmont games, Chris and DeDe as co-captains, night hockey games under the lights, and the marvelous game played at Earlham by the Eng- lish Women's Hockey team. This year, with the exception of one sopho- more, Nanette Williams, the faithful goalie, the first string was made up entirely of seniors. They were Suzie and Kenny, wings, Dolores and Susie, halfbacks, janey and Louie, fullbacksg Margie and Bets, inners, Velma, center half, Ginny, center forward, and Nannette, goalie. Of course, the seniors can never forget the untiring efforts of the managers, Mart, Phyllis, Tommy, and Joanne. They added greatly with their grade books, hockey balls and their willing- ness to hold this and that. The seniors of 1949 are leaving to all who love and enjoy hockey, the good times and fun which always accompanies this great sport. To Hayner, who made all of this fun pos- sible, go the best wishes of the seniors for many successful years, and a great big THANK YOU!! GIRLS BASKETBALL With the help of the sophisticated seniors, two faithful juniors, and the eager sophomores, the senior high girls' basketball team had an eventful and frolicsome season. With Ginny Webber as captain the team was as follows: Forwards-Ginny Webber, Barbara Teegarden, Shirley Stork, Guards-Dolores May, Joanne Maginnis, Rosie Kleinhenz, jane McCallister and joan Stoycos. Although results of the games were not too encouraging CMiamisburg and Beaver Creek were lost and West Carrollton was wonh, the girls practiced every night with determination.
