Busy seniors listen attentively as Mrs. Bender patiently explains the intricate plot of Hamlet. Civic-minded seniors get in full swing of the '52 election with Cap Brown as their favorite sonf' ICR HIGHLIGHT Memories? For the class of ,53 there are many. This last year was packed with lots of fun, work, and plans for the ever-approaching future. With the aid of Cappy, Mrs. Bender, and others the seniors began to take school work seriously. They became authorities on the Con- stitution and could recite from Shakespeare, Chaucer, Milton, and Bryon. The boys special- ized in math and science, while the girls learned the arts of cooking, sewing, and child care. In November stage-struck members awed the community with the hilarious Belles on Their Toes and showed promise of future success in the theatre world. The senior Variety Show came through the confusion of costumes, scripts, and make-up to top all the past productions. December saw them climb aboard the Silver Sleighrideu for the fabulous senior prom. Again they found that there's nothing more fun than a Class working and playing together. Academically the seniors proved themselves tops. Two placed in the Senior Scholarship Test, others excelled in the State Scholarship Tests, and all trudged through those notorious research themes. Yes, there are many memories that are locked in senior diaries, and whatever the future holds, the class of '55 will always cherish their fruitful years at Oakwood. Seniors gather around tl1e punch bowl at the sophomore prom to discuss the evenings events. 1 l . .W an as ru ...W -f ,. ELEVE Throughout their junior year the class of l95-4 has shown much enthusiasm. They caught the festive spirit in their prom, Mardi Gras,', with intriguing scenes of old New Orleans and a band stand float. Reigning during the dance were King Doug Teegarden and Queen .lane Biebel. In February the juniors produced their class TH YER play, George Washington Slept Here,'i in which unusual technical difficulties were worked out under the direction of jack Atwater. Many junior girls volunteered to serve two hours a week as teen-aides at Miami Valley Hos- pital. S-8 placed first in the senior high polio drive. Fifth row, left to right: Keys, Wildermuth, Lueck.

Besides being named best defensive back on the Oakwood football team, Doug Teegarden also won honorable men- tion on the M.V.I.. basketball team. Humor arrived in the form of a mile of taffy sent to S-7 from Budsy Simms in Florida. As a project S-7 sent a package to Germany, while all the homerooms filled charity baskets. Judging from their many varied activities during this year the class of 1954 should set a good precedent in their senior year for the under- classmen. Stmzding, left to right: Hamilton.

TE TH YE R Predominant among the sophomores this year was a determined, responsive, and co-operative spirit. Highlight of their first prom, Coral Fan- tasy, with its nautical theme and deep sea deco- rations, was a beautiful orchid lei flown in from Hawaii for the queen. Reigning from a shell throne was King Neptune, Frank Sargent and his queen, Sally Mendenhall. Two casts replaced each other during their play, Spring Greenf' in order to include as many class members as possible in the production. Generosity as shown in the school charity drives was another trait of the Class of 1955. hir. Marshls homeroom, S-16, contributed most in the Community Chest drive with S-ll, Mr. Andrew's homeroom, running a close second. Another sophomore homeroom, S-10, collected the most food for the Thanksgiving baskets, a project sponsored by the Girls, League. Weight-lifting, wrestling, gun collecting, and photography were demonstrated and discussed during the boys' homeroom periods. Interchang- ing of topics and speakers between the two boys' hometooms brought about a larger variety of dis- cussion subjects. S-16 Third row, left to right: P. Grinnell, Copas, P.

Entering wholeheartedly into the sports' pro- grams, the sophomores had members on both the varsity football and basketball teams. Outstand- ing members of the varsity football squad were Dave Greer, Pete Davidson, and Dave Herathg the latter was also a member of the varsity basket- ball team. Dave Greer received honorable men- tion on the Miami Valley League football team as Well as most valuable offensive lineman of the Oakwood team. Not to be outdone by the boys, the girls had Dottie Wagner for their champion on the varsity hockey team. Bud Mills, although only a sophomore, won the right to go to Denver for the National Foren- sic League contest. He was also winner of the l Speak For Democracy contest sponsored by the Dayton Chamber of Commerce.

Ginny Herrman had the thrill of attending the inauguration and the inaugural ball an excit- ing experience for anyone. Outside activities were varied for the sopho- mores. jim Tuverson had his own photography shopg he was also Acorn photographer. Seriously studying their tap dancing lessons were Nannette Spurlino, Maryann Payne, Ginny Herrman, and Lois Able. Who knows? Maybe Oakwood has a future Ginger Rogers. Bud Fasig, drummer in the marching band, drummed right along in se- veral dance bands around school, while Georgia Heisey did some high stepping as a majorette with the band. -41-uw-------n J-6 Standing, left to right: Moore, Must, Polk, Reynolds, Barb Oelman, Rie- ger, Roach.

As the big wheels in the junior high, the freshmen set a good example for the lower classes by their wholehearted participation in many varied fields. Several ninth grade homerooms made tray favors for the Red Cross and filled many charity baskets at Thanksgiving and Christmas. S-5 boasts not only of its 1009? participation in all charity drives, but also of winning first prize in Miss Hayner's tax stamp drive for the athletic association. In the field of speech this class is proud of the impressive number of ninth grade N.F.L. mem- bers and their excellent work in speech.

W'hit johnson and Bill Hewitt managed the varsity football squad, while in girls' sports Cynthia Grant headed the ninth grade hockey team and Betsy Greer, the basketball team. The ninth grade also claimed two of the school's drum ma- jorettes-Stephanie Lane and Judy Tapper.

Homerooms filled Thanksgiv- ing ancl Christmas baskets and Red Cross and Care boxes. J-8 contributed the largest number of Care boxes and also won the girls' athletic tax stamp drive. In the magazine drive, J-3 placed first in the entire school. .I-14 presented a Thanksgiving assembly pro- gram, while the library homeroom sponsored the Book Week program. Also to j-14 went the honor of having all the eighth grade class officers in that homeroom. Eighth graders were especially active in music. A boys' band and a girls' ensemble were or- ganized, while the library homeroom boasted of three outstanding junior high musicians. Marie Owen played the flute in the junior Philhar- monic Orchestra and placed second in the music contest at Xenia, Dick Center was well known as a tromhonistg and Hank Gorney on the trum- pet placed third at Xenia. Outstanding scholastically, eighth graders proved that long hours spent with books were not wasted. john Fleischauer won the spelling contest for the seventh and eighth grades, and Sue Densmore received a scholarship to the Art Institute. Now this class is ready to shoulder the responsibilities accompanying the rank of freshmen. J-10 S t ll n di n g, lefl to right: Moorman, J. Stein, Maharg, Blood, T. Brumbaugh, G r a n d i n, B.

Riesing. s s SEVE During their first year at Oakwood seventh graders were kept quite busy by both school work and after-school activities. Through ex- periences and warnings from the upper classmen they soon learned that it was better to abide by the rules-unless they didn't mind an after-school session on mourners bench. Three-fifteen found some of the boys working out on the football field, While the girls were just as busy learning the do's and donltisl' of hockey. J-10 presented an assembly program on elec- tion day, while J-5 participated in an assembly on safety. Christmas baskets and Care packages were filled by some of the homerooms, but the TH YE R generosity of this class was most evident in con- tributions to charity drives. Miss Hayner's tax stamp drive was won by J-5, While J-10 was second in the junior high polio drive. In the magazine drive 'I-5 placed second in the junior high school, and Steffenie Bickford from J-10 Won the largest magazine jackpot of 3525. Placing second in the spelling contest was Doris Edmonson from J-15. Although their first glimpse at life in the big school was not always as they had anticipated, most of these peppy seventh graders survived and are looking forward to their second year at Oak- wood.

W'ith these words as a guide, the Oakwood High School Student Council has been very busy this past year. Council members, elected by student vote each year, worked hand in hand with Mr. R. W. Patterson, faculty adviser, to accomplish many worthwhile projects. Sue Routsong presided over the council, assisted by Doug Teegarden, vice-president, judy Davidson, secretary, and Ann Congleton, treasurer. Homecoming, first on the councilis agenda, was followed by other activities-planning a so- cial program, directing class-officer elections, di-- recting the magazine drive, obtaining speakers for assemblies, conducting the Community Chest drive, and serving as hosts at P.T.A. meetings. The junior High Student Council, advised by Mr. Stanley McGowan and directed by Kay Champion, president, Tom Sellery, vice-president, and Charles Stuart, secretary-treasurer, functioned similarly to the senior high council. Supervising the election of cheerleaders, organizing a citizen- ship program, and conducting the junior high Community Chest campaign were just a few pro- jects accomplished by the junior high council.

E HO OR OCIETY Leading the way in service, scholarship, leadership, and char- acter at Oakwood High School was the Oaktree chapter of the National Honor Society, whose members are selected from the junior and senior classes each year. Dale Ensor, president, di- rected numerous activities with the aid of Fred Hershey, vice-presi- dent, Mary Zehrung, secretary, Meredith Hardy, auditor, and Miss Georgia Baker, adviser and treasurer. School supplies were sold by members each noon hour at the Honor Society store. During the weekly meetings members completed a school handbook, which contains information in general about both the junior and senior high schools. A new back- board for the trophy case was presented to the school by the society, whose members also polished the trophies and cleaned the case. Christmas vacation afforded members, old and new, an opportunity to talk over past events at the annual alumni tea, and finally at the close of the year seniors were hon- ored at the farewell picnic.

RED CROSS Service for others, for our country, our com- munity, and our school --this is the motto of the American junior Red Cross. Under the guidance of Mrs. Alice Griswold, faculty adviser, the Red Cross Council has carried out these aims during the past year. Officers-Pat Lauer, president, jane Venters, vice-president, Buddy Mills, secre- tary, and Barbara Fleischauer, gift box chair- man-proudly report the successful accomplish- ment of a long list of worthwhile projects. To start the year's activities the Red Cross sponsored a successful paper drive which added 35150 to their treasury. This money was used to fill a gift chest with school supplies, health arti- cles, and athletic equipment for an over-seas school. Next came Christmas and the annual Chirstmas gift boxes for needy children in other countries. Barbara Fleischauer, who was aided by Mrs. Russell, reported that 175 boxes were filled with everything from combs to bubble gum. During March the council members handled the enrollment campaign which included the whole school. Over 54170 was collected for use by the local Junior Red Cross organization and the International Children's Fund. Throughout the year Red Cross members were busy giving service to others. just before Thanksgiving, Christmas, Valentine's Day, Eas- ter, and Saint Patrick's Day, homeroom students made tray favors for the men at the veterans' hos- pital. Many members volunteered to work at the Red Cross headquarters downtown rolling bandages or helping inspect the gift boxes. The Red Cross council is justly proud of its accom- plishments during the past year. JUNIOR COUNCIL ON WORLD AFFAIRS MEMBERS. Fourth row, left to right: Mr. llaliller, Mr. Andrews, Von Blon, A.

ORLD In order to prepare today's youth for their future task as citizens, Oakwood maintains an active chapter of the Junior Council on World Affairs. Membership in the council is open to all senior high students, and monthly meetings have proved both interesting and informative. Officers for this year were Alan Edmonson, presidentg Anne Congleton, vice-president, Mere- dith Hardy, secretary, and Sara Manning, trea- FF IR surer. Advisers who contributed to the success of the group were Capt. T. D. Brown, Mr. David Miller, and Mr. Sam Andrews. Projects of the council included two panel discussions which were broadcast over the radio, the annual World Affairs Institute at which many Oakwoodites were present, and the trip during Easter vacation to Washington and the United Nations' headquarters in New York.

It may sound rugged, but over fifty active members of the N.F.L. will tell you that contests are not only fun but rewarding, too. Spark-plugged by Mr. john Martin and sup- ported by the Speech Parents' Association, Oak- FI 9 CURE wood's N.F.L. chapter has chalked up another busy year in speech. Officers were Dale Ensor, president, Pat Lauer, vice-president, Spencer Au- gust, secretary, and Sara Manning' treasurer. From the opening rally in the fall until the final banquet in May, there was a whirlwind of con- tests at Oakwood, Fairmont, Delaware, Spring- field, Denison, and Ohio State. Oakwood is es- pecially proud of Sue Routsong, Bud Mills, Gwennie Mumma, and Sally Longstreth, who will represent our school at the National Speech Tournament in Denver.

STARS THE MAKING Four plays and fl variety show brought an unprecedented amount of entertainment to Oak- wood this year. Under the direction of Mr. .Iohn M. Martin all of these productions lived up to Oakwood's high standard of entertainment estab- lished throughout the past years. Vlfhen the senior class presented Belles on Their Toes, the famous Gilbreth family invaded Oakwood. In April the same class ended their years at Oakwood with a variety show based on the European adventures of the two army pri- vates, Ike and Mike. The juniors brought a famous celebrity to school with their production. George Wfashington Slept Here. Spring Green, the sophomore play, centered around the escapades of a small boy who liked worms. 'lhe freshmen tried their hand at dramarics for the first time with jamie, which portrayed the problems of love-sick adolescents. Dress right, everybody, exclaims Pat Lauer to the rest of the Gilbreth family, left to right K Schumacher J Fasil., H Wilson, J. Cline, Henke, Hild, Mote. C. Sargent, D. Schenck. CURT I TI In spite of a few muffed lines such as Don Schenck's unforgettable, There's your Mother, taxi! and some lapses of memory, the seniors' presentation of Bells on Their Toesn was termed a roaring success. Besides leaving a wonderful impression on the audience, the play left several seniors with what seemed permanently red hair. Cast members who tried to tint their hair red in order to impersonate the Gilbreth family met with varying degrees of success. Everyone was much relieved when Alan Edmonson and Dud Kircher escaped unscathed from the effects of some red curtain dye which had been mistakenly applied by Virginia Wfilliams' mother. Ellen Grout, who heaved a sigh of relief after she had managed a quick change from a nine- teenth century bathing suit to one of a more dar- ing vintage, celebrated this event by a cast party at her home on Friday night. Both casts could relax and enjoy themselves the next night at Susie Routsongis, where they munched on ham sandwiches and potato salad to the strains of Grandma's Lye Soap. Then the cast regretfully settled down from memorizing lines and cues to the pursuit of Mil- ton's Sonnets and a study of the Constitution.

Not to be outdone by their elders, the junior class presented George Wfashington Slept Herel' to a full house both nights. The Friday night cast turned in such a successful performance, that the Saturday cast had to do something spectacular to better them. This they did. In the opening scene an old rocking chair over which Bill Loftus was supposed to fall was knocked down ahead of time. When the time came for the fall and there was no chair, Bill, in true football style. took a tremendous leap which created even more of a sensation than simply falling over a chair. Next came Lynne Derby's dramatic expression of her longing for summers in Maine, and Flori- das in winter!

But the payoff came when Bob Kette entered too soon and Connie Cappel and Corky Thohe followed, thinking that they had missed their cue. This resulted in a greatly altered version of the third act to which fizzing ginger ale added general confusion. Afterwards the cast enjoyed 21 well-deserved party at Betsy Allen's home, where George Leu- pold entertained everyone with a few selections from his ukulele. ig f .X YOUTH COUNCIL, first row, left to right: J.

Lane advised the Youth Council, whose officers were Bob Staley, president, and Jane Biebel, sec- retary. The council planned many dances, in- cluding a Halloween masquerade, a farewell partv for Mr. Simpson, the Toy Dance, the annual New Year's Eve party, the Beaux Arts Ball, and a South Sea Island party to end the year. Hi-Y for boys and Tri-Hi-Y for girls, open to all senior high students, proved so successful that junior clubs were organized for the seventh, eighth, and ninth grades. Meredith Hardy, Barbara Fleischauer, Judy Davidson, and Joanne Leyda served as officers for Tri-Hi-Y, which was advised by Mrs. R. F. Hardy, while Cy Spurlino, Bob Schumann, Mike Hooven, and Alan Graham headed the Hi-Y organization under the guidance of Mr. E. B. Owen. Each of these groups sent two delegates to a model Congress held in April at Columbus and drew up a bill which was presented at the legisla- ture. They also took charge of the Wforld Service Drive to which they contributed 53120. R i g la I, everyone wishes Uncle Ken the best of luck in his new job.

Meeting every Tuesday noon, the council, directed by its capable officers and Miss Catherine Hadeler, planned numerous activities. A fall picnic in the quadrangle introduced new students to Girls, League. Buses, chartered by the League for football games, were enthusi- astically supported by senior high girls. To Girls' League the Christmas season was the time for Hanging of the Greens and the Christmas banquet, now an established tradition at Oak- wood. Chit-Chats highlighted February, while in March, mothers were royally entertained by their daughters at the annual Mothers' Tea. May led the way to the big event of the year, the Girls' League formal dance. As the year drew to a close, freshman girls were welcomed into the senior high at the Big Sister party the final event of 1953. LEFT: Members of the Girls' League Council.

Extra practices at 7:30 each morning, playing in the rain and the cold, long trips to and from away games-all these things were taken in stride by the members of the Oakwood High School 1953 Marching Band. Under the direction of Mr. Myron McKelvey the band has continually added to its fine record of achievement. Of- ficers were Jerry O'Dell, presidentg Charles Mueller, vice- president, and Marilyn Leuck, secretary. At every game throughout the football season the band presented a skit during half time. These skits all had a central theme, such as the election campaign during October and the Community Chest Drive. 'lhey featured novelty numbers which included jazz, military marching, and popu- lar music. At the annual banquet held at the Harmon Avenue School in November, special recognition was given to jerry O'Del1, Don McKechnie, and Carolyn Tonini, who had been members of the band for six years. This banquet was pos- 54 ICIAN sible through the efforts of the Band Parents' Association, to which the band was indebted for support throughout the year. With a few changes in instrumentation after the foot- ball season, the marchin band became a concert band and I . I g u joined with the orchestra to present two concerts in March and A ril. At these concerts the band la ed novelt num- ' ' K! y my bers including an arrangement of Dry Bones and Fantasy on American Sailing Songs. The band not only distinguished itself when it was awarded a citation for its contribution to the Community Chest, but its individual members also proved their musical talent. At the high school solo and ensemble contest Bud Fasig won a superior rating for his drum solo, and Ruth- anna jones, for her work on the piano. The Western Ohio Baud Festival held at Sidney brought the season to a successful close and was a fitting climax to a year which will not be soon forgotten by the band members. 55 THE OAKWOOD HIGH SCHOOL BAND.

At the close of the football season, the orches- tra, whose membership is open to any person with musical talent, began its activities for the year. In December the stringed section-basses, cellos, violas, and violins - played Christmas carols for the Hanging of the Greens. March and April were highlighted by the orchestra's two concerts, the climax to their ef- forts throughout the year. Stringed instruments, featured at both concerts, played numbers rang- ing from Anderson's Blue Tango to Bizet's The Pearl Fishers. Spring music contests occupied much of the orchestra's time and energy. The District Solo and Ensemble Contest. held in March at Xenia, presented a great challenge to orchestra members, many of whom won outstanding honors. RIGHT: Senior High Chorus members.

T t 1, ,,., ,I With only thirteen members, this year's Acorn class proved that it is not an unlucky number, but a lucky one. To record the year's events the staff chose a diary theme for the 1953 Acorn. Then the editors began pushing pencils, plaguing businessmen for advertisements. and Clicking cameras. They learned that it takes a tremendous amount of work and time and co-V operation to publish a yearbook. They were awakened-sometimes rudely-to the trials and tribulations of editing the Acorn. In February amidst potato chips and spilled cokes the staff presented the Acorn skit to begin the sales campaign. This skit depicted the origin of the diary theme, a typical day in the Acorn Class, and the final outcome of the Acorn in the National Scholastic Press .Association contest. In june when the Acorn was distributed, class members felt amply rewarded for all their time, Work, and effort.

Adviser was Miss Mildred Campbell and officers were Sally Stockum, presidentg Carol Varble, pro- gram chairman, and Ellen Grout, secretary. Quill and Scroll, International Honor Society for High School Journalists, requires that its members rank in the upper third of their class and demonstrate outstanding journalistic ability. Members met twice a month during the seventh period. About half of these meetings featured a discussion of outstanding journalists, such as Ernie Pyle, William Allen White, Ann McCormick, and an Oakwood alumnus. james B. Reston. Guest speakers were Marilyn Floridis, Oak- wood class of '48, who spoke informally about her experiences as journal Herald columnist, and Mrs. John Schweiger, who told of her life in Russia. Highlight of the year was a tour of the journal H emld. The Acorn skit stars, xtanding, left to right: B. Staley, Tuverson, Hardy, Willianmson, Robinson, Stockum, K. Ribet, E. Grout, and Cheney.

Since art room activity was converted into Oakwoodls Pen and Brush Club two years ago by Mr. Ross Deniston, faculty adviser, the club has increased in membership to ninety-five senior, junior, sophomore, and freshman art students. Gary Gieringer, president, Mike Hooven. vice- president, Susie Grant, secretary, and George Stillwagon, treasurer, assisted Mr. DU in organiz- ing and producing the annual March minstrel show, which afforded an excellent opportunity to art students to display their talents. After contributing twenty-five paintings to the International Red Cross Art project, which helps to promote international understanding, Pen and Brush members felt their toils justified. As a climax to a successful year, outstanding art stu- dents were honored with awards at the Industrial Arts show.

The homecoming queen was chosen from five candidates se- lected by the senior class. During the half of the Oakwood-Xenia football game five shiny new Oldsmobile convertibles driven around the track gave everyone a good close- up of the candidates. Then the winner was told to climb inside a gigantic football, which was carried to the middle of the field. Suspense was at its height when Susie Grant climbed out of the football and was pro- claimed l952 homecoming queen. After the game everyone flocked to the homecoming dance to honor the queen, her court, and our football squad and to greet old friends and alumni. ?'Eg935?31a?5?qiZ51t 1' ' A ' 261 il' 4 al, , is 4425 W 4 f 1 X 'Mx Susie Grant Ltffl: Queen Susie Grant climbs from football, and rigfvlx her court, Sue Routsong. jean Halderman.

TEAM OO TER Fight, Team, Fight! was the constant cry of OakWood's lively cheerleaders throughout our football and basketball season. This year varsity cheerleaders--seniors Sue Routsong, Meredith Hardy, and Karen Schumacher, and juniors jane Biebel and Gwennie Mumma-were introduced to a new cheer- leading class, held two periods a week and supervised by Miss Bess Hayner. In the fall, these girls attended a cheerleading clinic at Tipp City, a profitable and enjoyable experience. Reserve cheerleaders-Lynn Olt, Jackie Wolverton, Cathie Bieser, Sally Mendenhall, and Dottie Wagner-enthusiastically cheered their reserve team on during basketball season. At pep assemblies and football and basketball games, our energetic ninth-graders-Judy Zarbock. Carol Roach, Saragail Runyon, and Shirley Stumm-kept school spirit high in the junior high.

Oakwood's record on the gridiron this year-- one win, six losses, and two ties-is a great im- provement over the past few years. Statistics of the games, including those lost, show that a fighting spirit prevailed throughout the season. The Lumberjacks looked promising in the southern half of the Miami Valley League premiere when they battled Miamisburg to a scoreless tie and held Xenia to six points. Enthusiasm was high as Oakwood defeated Lebanon in the opening game of the season, 20-6. Brad Boen was the first to cross pay dirt for the Lumberjacks. Waltz threw to Teegarden for the second touchdown, and Bud Schindler's two yard plunge was the finale to Oakwood's victorious up- rising. Because of numerous penalties Oakwood was unable to move against Norwood, and the game ended in a 6-6 tie. Waltz climaxed Oakwood'S scoring drive when he plunged over from the two yard line. Leupold's conversion was called back on a penalty. Tackles Pete Davidson and Frank Duke looked good Son defense while XY'altz took offensive honors. Homecoming at Oakwood was overshadowed when the ,jacks fell before Xenia S9-6. Oak- wood's pass protection was weak compared to that Left to right: Don Stephen, offensive guard, John Taylor, defensive hal fbackg and co-captain Bud Schind- ler, defensive end. of previous games. Bud Schindler went over in the closing minutes for Oakwood's only score. Dave Herath, sophomore quarterback, and Doug Teegarden, defensive halfback excelled in their respective positions. Although Oakwood's defense, reinforced by Duke, Davidson, and Keck, proved exceedingly strong, the Lumberjacks lost to Greenville 7-0. Most of the 'Jacks' offensive drives in the game were stopped by intercepted passes. jack Schultz, Oakwood's glue-fingered end, made many sensa- tional catches which accounted for much yardage. The climax of the season came when Oak- wood tied Troy 7-7-the first league tie for Oak- wood since its entrance into the Miami Valley League. The 'Jacks scored in the fourth quarter on a 50 yard pass play from Skip Wfaltz to jack Schultz. The Lumberjacks' defense was strength- ened by Horace Baggott, who had just recovered from a foot injury. The following week Oakwood fell to Miamis- burg 36-6. The 'jacks scored in the fourth quar- ter with jim Schindler carrying on a boot-leg play around left end. Playing an exceptional defensive game, Don Stephen blocked all four of the extra points that the Vikings attempted to kick. Unable to cope with Fairmont's size and speed, Oakwood bowed to its traditional rival 45-0. The Lumberjacks' only threat came in the first quar- ter when they rolled to the Dragons' six yard line. Skip Waltz, Oakwood's fullback, completed fifteen out of thirty passes to account for most of the 'jacks' yardage. Bud Schindler was out- standing at defensive end play.

Although the 'Jacks outplayed Sidney statis- tically by compiling an overall yardage advantage of 159 yards, they fell before the Yellowjackets 26-0. Sidney's touchdowns were set up by two blocked kicks and two intercepted passes. Dave Greer, sophomore center, excelled on offense. Ends jack Schultz and Bob Staley snagged many passes which helped account for the 206 yards gained in that department. Oakwood ended the season with a 29-7 loss to Piqua, in perhaps the poorest game of the season. George Stillwagon did IHOSI of the ball carrying and was responsible for the 'jacksi only score on a left end skirt. During the season underclassmen who failed to see much action in the varsity games were able to play in the reserve games on Monday afternoons. Coach YWysocki arranged this sched- ule of games in order that more boys could get experience in actual competition. The squad was never fixed, for often boys who showed promise were moved up to the varsity team. Coach Small led the team to a successful season considering their opponents were often older and more experienced. The team ended the sea- son with a two and four record. They defeated Xenia and Lebanon, while losing to Fairborn, Northridge, Miamisburg, and West Carrollton. Coaches Wysocki and Small awarded letters to the following boys: seniors-Baggott, Congle- ton, Duke, Emde, Gieringer, T. james, McKenny, Pohl, B. Schindler, Staley, Stephen, Stillwagon. Taylor, Voigt, Von Blong juniors--Boen, Keck, B. King, Lehman, Leupold, Loftus, j. Schindler, J. Schultz, Teegarden, Xi7altzg sophomores- Davidson, Greer, Herath, Oelman, Rawlings. Numerals were given to the boys who played on the reserve team. They are as follows: Aposte- los, Babo, Coan, Fasig, Hamilton, Hegeman, B. Blames, Kern, Kyle, McLaughlin, Orr, Routsoug, R. Schultz, Stoycos, and Wfalther. At the annual banquet at the Wlishing W'ell Inn, the coaches not only awarded letters but also gave out trophies to boys who were out- standing in their respective fields. Doug Tee- garden was named the best defensive back, while Frank Duke held down this honor in the line. Skip Wfaltz took offensive backfield honors, while Dave Greer received the title of best offensive lineman. Skip Waltz was also given the most valuable player award. Bud Schindler, elected honorary captain, received the sportsmanship trophy. In a special assembly judge Howell pre- sented to Bud, an all-round athlete, the McGurk trophy, given to the outstanding senior football player. Bill Congleton and Skip Waltz were given second team honors on the Dayton newspapers' all Miami Valley League balloting. Loftus, Schindler, J. Schultz, and Greer received honor- able mention. At the end of this school year, Oakwood will end its competition in athletics in the Miami Valley League. The school board of directors voted for this departure from the league in favor of entering competition with schools having en- rollments nearer to that of Oakwood. The Lum- berjacks are now a member of the Southwestern Buckeye League. Next year Oakwood will play the Southwestern Buckeye schools in all sports except football. Because of schedule difficulties, the 'Jacks will be independent next year and will enter the league in football in September, l954. Top: Bob Staley, offensive end. B0!fll7Il.'

Right: Guard Bud Schindler Fur right: Center Bob Staley EKI Under the able guidance of coaches Earl Gard- ner and Marty Armbruster, who coached the team during Mr. Gardner's illness, Oakwoocl's fast- breaking basketball team completed a successful season. Although the overall record was 6 wins and 11 losses, the 'lacks averaged 52 points a game, and in only 6 of their 17 contests did they fail to score 50 points. Bud Schindler, Oakwood's hard-driving guard, led the Lumberjacks in scoring with 258 points. Center Bob Staley followed with 135 points, Doug Teegarden, with 1293 and Barry MacKay, with l28. Oakwood opened its season with a sizzling 48-47 victory over New Market, Indiana, as Barry MacKay tossed in a basket with only two seconds remaining. Staley lcd the 'jacks with 14 points.

The team barely missed four straight wins when they were nipped 51-51 by Celina. Schind- ler and Staley led the way for Oakwood with 12 and 10 points respectively.

The Lumberjaclfs won their first M.V.L. game by defeating Miamisburg 70-64. Schindler showed the way with 23 points, Staley tossed in 12 points and Teegarden contributed 10. Frank Sargent, a sophomore, greatly aided the 'jacksi victory in both scoring and rebounding. Although Oakwood hit an outstanding 41 per cent from the field, Fairmont was just as hot, and with their speed, downed the 'Jacks 84-68. Paced by Schindler, who ended the evening with 25 points, Oakwood jumped to an early 12-3 lead, but was soon overtaken by the faster Dra- gons. Teegarden tallied 12 points and Schultz 11. Scoring in the last two seconds of play, Sidney nipped the Lumberjacks 59-57. For the third straight week, Schindler scored 23 points. Staley and MacKay each collected 14. Leaving the Miami Valley League in triumph Oakwood downed Piqua 57-52. The ,Jacks con- trolled the entire game as Barry MacKay guided them to victory with 14 points. In the final two games the Lumberjacks fell 62-55 to a taller Hillsboro team, and 85-59 to a sharp Fairborn quintet. In the latter contest, Fritz Emde and Phil lvloeller, playing their best games of the season, scored ll and 9 points re- spectively for the Lumberjacks. Oakwood drew Middletown for the opening game of the Class A district tournament. Keep- ing pace with the state champions, the valiant 'Jacks trailed by only 3 points at the quarter and 14 points at the half, but then the Middies broke the game wide open and defeated Oakwood 92-45. At the annual basketball banquet, letters were awarded to the following varsity players: Congle- ton, Herath, MacKay, B. Schindler, Schultz, Sta- ley, and Teegarden. Varsity players who received numerals because they lacked sufficient quarters for a letter were Moeller, Sargent, and I. Schind- ler. Barry MacKay was given the trophy for the best foul shooting record. Oakwood had the distinction of having on its team the highest scorer in the 1953 Miami Valley League competition--Bud Schindler. In the seven league games Bud scored 131 points for a re- markable 18.7 point average. Receiving the sec- ond highest number of votes given to any player, Bud was named to the first string all-M.V.l.. team. Guard Doug Teegarden received honor- able mention in the league. Although they did not have a winning season, the Reserve basketball team, also coached by Mr. Gardner, did play good basketball and the players received valuable experience for the coming years. Their best showing was a 59-49 win over Troy. Pete Davidson, six-foot four inch sophomore, showed much promise. Coan, Hilty, Leupold, and Lusk also added power to the team. The following boys received numerals for playing reserve ball: Cavanaugh, Coan, David- son, Draut, Fear, Hilty, Kyle, Leupold, Lusk, Stuff, Waltz, and W'eddle. Right: Pitcher Bill Congleton finishes delivery. Left: Fritz Emde fires one toward the plate. THE DI Under Coach Marty Armbruster, the baseball team will be playing a faster, more aggressive type ball than Oakwood has seen in the past few years. Running and sliding are an important part of the practices as the team shapes up for its first game against Beavercreela, last year's state champions. The pitchers should find good backing in veteran infielders-Congleton, Emde, B. Schind- ler, J. Schindler, and Staley. These boys will be helped by a promising group of sophomores, some of whom might receive starting assign- ments. The outfield will be made up mostly of sopho- mores with the exception of double letterman jim Peth. Bill Congleton, a right-hander, and Fritz Emde, a southpaw, will do the majority of the pitching. Both boys have had much experience and should present trouble to all opposition. Top row, left to right: Coach Armbruster, Apostelos, Congleton, B. Schindler, Staley, R. Schultz, F. Emde, Hegeman, C.

TENN S Although Oakwood's tennis team lost five out- standing players by graduation, Coach Hummon's crew again captured the M.V.L. and City cham- pionships. Barry MacKay won the M.V.L. crowng Teegarden was runner-up. McKenny and Hilty were runners-up in the doubles division. Last year Oakwood, with one of the best teams in its history, easily won the Miami Valley League and also became the City champs by defeating Stivers. Barry MacKay, who went undefeated through the entire season, climaxed Oakwood's victorious efforts by winning the Ghio State singles cham- pionship. He is favored to repeat this perform- ance this year. Under MacKay, Doug Tee-garden and Franlt Henry, both scrappy court competitors, will be fi htin it out for the second and third sin les . . 3 positions. Boys that are likely to see action in doubles play are Cy Spurlino, Don Schenck, Ken Hollan- der, Bob Hilty, Tom McKenny, and john Brown.

GOLF The golf team, coached by Mr. McGowan, again completed a successful season. With lettermen Hause and Kircher leading the way, the team took first place in the Miami Valley League and also captured the blue ribbon at the Tri-state Tournament. The team is re- garded as a good prospect for the State this year. Last year, Oakwood had an overall record of 5 wins, 3 losses. and 3 ties. The team captured third place in the Miami Valley League and tied with Parker for second place in the City circuit. Oakwood was the only team that was able to defeat Chaminade, the City champions. Boys that are striving for starting posi- tions on the team are Kircher, Hause, Cus- tenborder, Barnhiser, N. johnson, Lehman, and jump.

Ace trackster is Brad Boen, a junior, who last year broke Oakwood's 100 yard dash record when he ran it in 9.95 seconds. W'hile maintaining his supremacy in the 100 yard dash, Brad hopes to set a new record in the 220 yard dash this year. Other lettermen who will form the nucleus of the track squad are Fred Pohl, Oakwood's record holder of the 120 yard low hurdles at 14.3 sec- onds, and George Stillwagon, scrappy competitor for the 440 yard dash. Distance men this year are Moeller, Schultz, Von Blon, Makley, McKechnie, D. Adams, and Potter. Stillwagon Loftus, Oelman, Sargent, and Rawlings will help Boen in the dashes.

CHAMPIONS ALL C-Grims A intramural basketball team showed the other nine teams a trick or two as they defeated each one in turn, often by enormous scores. Their most successful evening was a 65-7 trouncing over the Blue Valley Boys . Director of intramurals, Ed YWys0cki, decided to have the teams play in one league instead of two, as they did last year. The winner of the league was not determined until the final game when the two undefeated teams, 'QC-Grims A and Seagrims B , met. The C-Grims A won 49-10. Members of this championship ball club were Alan Edmonson, Dale Ensor, captain John Mak- ley, jim Peth, Cy Spurlino, Don Stephen, George Stillwagon, and John Taylor. 1 Cy Spurlino, lanky center for the champions, was high scorer in the league with 97 points in eight games. He was closely followed by Dave McLaughlin. After the season was over, the C-Grims A team scheduled a game with the championship Fairmont intramural team. Oakwood won the score-fest l20-80. Spurlino led them as he scored over 50 points. Although they were not actually sponsored by the school, the Oakwood boys did enter two teams in the junior Chamber of Commerce bowl- ing league. Team one--Barry MacKay, Fred Pohl, Bob Schumann, Cy Spurlino, and Bob Sta- ley-bowled at the Pla-mor alleys, and team two -Dud Kircher, john Makley, Don McKechnie, George Stillwagon, and john Taylor-bowled at the McCook alleys. Team one finished third in their league and team two, fourth in theirs. In the roll-off at the end of the year to determine the best team in the city, team one placed fourth. john Makley received a trophy for rolling the highest three game series with handicap in his league. His series was 644 pins. Fred Pohl and Bob Staley, as a doubles team, took second place rolling a l,162 three game handicap series. In the father-son tournament john Taylor and his father took second place honors in their league, and Bob Staley and his father placed sixth in theirs. Trophies were given for these achieve- ments. fe , i Secomf row, left to right: Coach Cato, Rieger, B. Stillwagon, Nordhoff, Vaughn, Champion, Kunz, T.

UNIUR ' CKS Athletics in the junior high school this year were highly competitive, as the coaches gave the boys training and experience that will prove valuable to them in the coming years. Many of these boys will see action in varsity sports next year. Coach Cato's freshmen football team com- pleted the most successful season of all the junior high teams as it won four contests while drop- ping only two. Half-back Robby Riber and tackle John Mumma were great assets to the team and are looked upon for varsity ball next year. Kay Champion, a good running back, would have seen more action had he not been injured early in the season. Members of the victorious ball club are as follows: Brickley, K. Champion, R. Emde. Geb- hart, Gilbert, Hatfield, T. Kendell, Kuntz. Mont- gomery, G. Morris, Mumma, Nordhoff, Reynolds, Riber, Rieger, B. Stillwagon and Vaughn. Under Coach Ambruster, the seventh and eighth grade football team completed the season with a one and three record. The team defeated Xenia and fell before West Carrollton and Fair- mont, whom they played twice. Outstanding players on the team were back- field men Abel, I-Ieyde, Phillips, and Warring, and linemen Grout, Parker. and Sellery. The freshmen basketball team, also coached by Mr. Armbruster, turned in a record of five wins and nine losses. On the whole, the shooting of the team was under par, but their high spirit never failed. Tossing in 72 points each, Kay Champion and Bob Gaunt tied for high scoring honors. Vaughn, Riber, Hinton, and Brickley also did much scoring. Players who received numerals are as follows: Barnes, Brickley, K. Champion, Crouse, Gaunt, Gilbert, Hatfield, Hinton, W. Johnson, B. Kelly, Montgomery, Riber, and Vaughn. Under Coach Small the seventh and eighth grade basketball team compiled a record of four wins and eight losses. High scorer for the team was guard Nick Warring who tossed in 105 points. Close behind Wfarring in the scoring were Abel, Grout, and Parker. Numerals were awarded to the follow- ing players: Abel, Brumbaugh, A. Cham- pion, Dunlevey, R. Gieringer. Grout, F. Holloway, Houser, P. King., Kocher, B. Moeller, P. Morse, Oseit, J. Parker, Sel- lery, P. Smith, Thompson, Torrant, Warring, and Waters. Giving the boys a chance for some in- dividual showing is one of the prime ob- jectives of the junior high track team. Mr. Wfysocki, who coaches the team, also hopes to develop boys who in the future will aid varsity track and foolball teams. Last year the team did well as it won two meets, lost two, and tied one. In the Junior High School Invitational Tourna- ment Oakwood made a good showing as it placed third. Head of the list of junior high Cinder- men this year is freshman Jim Vaughn, who is almost a sure bet for a first place in both the -1-10 yard dash and the discus. Robby Riber and John Kuntz are good prospects for the shot-put and dashes respectively.

Six wins to one defeat was the victorious record of the Lumherjills of 1953. By winning two of the three scheduled games with their friendly rivals, University of Cincinnati, the girls felt that the long hours of hard work and practice were justified. Wfith the four remaining vic- tories against West Carrollton, Fairborn, Fair- mont, and Fairview, the 'jills concluded a suc- cessful year. First game of the season was played against the alumnae. Unable to score, the '55 Lumber- jills fell to Oakwood's hockey stars of the past by a score of 2-0. In the first interscholastic game on October l, the 'Jills defeated the less experienced West Car- rollton eleven by a score of 5-0. Inners Epstein and DeMarse accounted for two goals apiece, while wing Biebel was responsible for the fifth tally. The Lumberjills traveled to Fairmont the next week to play their second game of the season. Although Co-captain Epstein was absent because of illness, the i-Iills managed to bring home a 4-l victory. Sue DeMarse drove in two goals, and Dotty Vtfagner and Sally Stockum scored one apiece. Defeat was the only damper on the long awaited trip to the University of Cincinnati when the 'Jills bowed to their hosts by a score of 6-2. Casualties increased for Oakwood as did the score for Cincinnati. The 'Jills eagerly looked forward to their second game with U. of C. which was played in the Oakwood stadium. Jane Biebel and Sally Stockum managed to get by the Cincy goalie to defeat the visitors by the narrow margin of 2-1. The two teams were then tied with one win each, and the deciding game was to be played at Oak- wood on November 12. On a bitter cold November day the team journeyed to Fairborn and chalked up another win. Wfings Biebel and Lauer, inners Epstein and Wagner, and center halfback Grant managed to score as the Lumberjills defeated the Flyers 7-0. The 'jills met Fairview at Oakwood on the following week, November -i, and handed them a 6-0 defeat. Co-captains Epstein and Stockum both scored twice and Dotty Wagner and jane Biebel accounted for the two remaining goals. First string, left to right: Ziegenthaler, Lauer, Ludwick, DeMarse, Wagner, Stockum, Grant, Epstein, Leyda, Biebel, I-Ialderman, Schiller, Dean. RTI Starting line-up for the Lumberjills was as follows: Sally Stockum, center forward, Betty Epstein, Dotty Wfagner, Sue DeMarse, inners: Pat Lauer, jane Biebel, wings: Susie Grant, center half, Margie Ludwick, Joanne Leyda, fullbacksg Jeany Halderman, Mary Schiller, side-halves, Bar- bara Dean, Alice Ziegenthaler, goalies, Barbara janney and Carol Clark, managers, were always on hand to assist the team in every way. Climaxing the 'jills' successful season was the annual hockey banquet. Those who received let- ters other than the first string were Marilyn Schubert, Patsy Williamson, Mary Zehrung, Kay Co-captain Betty Epstein UAD Riber, Helen Johnson, joene Cline, Barbara Mit- chell, Carol Varble, Betty Chaney, Judy David- son, seniors, Connie Powers, junior, and Vir- ginia Herrman, sophomore. Two seniors, Betty Epstein and Susie Grant, who had received letters for three years, were awarded miniature gold hockey sticks. At the end of the banquet the team presented a clockradio to their deserving coach, Miss Bess Hayner. Along with this gift were two minia- tures of Miss Hayner resembling her in her usual attire. Co-captain Sally Stockum Coach Hayner On November 12 the Lumberjills played the final and deciding game with their arch rivals, University of Cincinnati. At halftime only Dotty Wagner had scored for Oakwood, and the game stood at a 1-1 tie. But the ,jills went on to vic- tory in the second half when fullbacks Leyda and Ludwick excelled in defensive play and goalie Barbara Dean made numerous spectacular saves to keep the 'jills from defeat. Wfinning goals were scored by Betty Epstein and Sally Stockum. Thus the team finished their interscholastic competition with wins from Wfest Carrollton, Fairview, Fairmont, Fairborn, and University of Cincinnati and one loss to U. of C. Managers Carol Clark and Barbara Janney The Lumberjills ended their hockey season with a trip to Miami University to compete in a hockey clinic with teams from Oxford McGuffy and Northridge. The first string played Mc- Guffy's first team and overshadowed them by a score of 7-1. Forwards Stockum, Epstein, and Wagner accounted for the seven tallies for Oak- wood. The second team played Northridge's first team and handed them 2-O defeat with inner Patsy Wfilliamson scoring both points for Oak- wood. To complete a perfect day and celebrate a victorious season the Boosters' Club sponsored a trip to the University of Dayton-Miami Univer- sity football game for the entire hockey squad of 1953. Sally Stockum, Betty Epstein, and Jane Biebel try for a goal against University of Cincinnati.

Doubling their opponents' score the next week at West Carrollton, the 'Jills handed them a 60-30 defeat. Scorers for Oakwood were Mary Schiller with 32 points and Betty Epstein with 28. In a return game with Fairview the '-Iills, leading by only a small margin throughout the game, were able to pull ahead and win by the score of 47-37. Guards Bain and Smith excelled in defensive play. On the unfamiliar court at Cincinnati the ,jills suffered their first defeat of the season 52-26. The team was also handicapped by the absence of Co-captain Epstein, who was unable to play because of illness. Holding the lead throughout the entire Miamisburg game, the 'jills easily won 47-32 on their home court. In their final game the jills received their second defeat of the season, 50--il, from their college opponents at the University of Cincinnati.

Charts indi- cating individual matches attracted the attention of both junior and senior high girls, as everyone was eager to complete her first round. In badminton singles lzzie Funkhouser, Mary Zehrnng, Helen Johnson and Mary .lane Wfhipp reached the semi-finals. In the badminton dou- bles Helen johnson and lzzie Funkhouser de- feated Mary jane Xlifhipp and Dotty Mohan. This was the second year in which lzzie and Helen have won the badminton doubles. Senior high bowling team left to right: Bradley, Cunningham, Hardy, XVilliamson. E Left to right: Funl-chouser, Johnson, Hardy, Bradley. Composing the badminton team were Helen Johnson, Izzie Funkhouser, Ellen Grout, Patsy Williamson, Mary Jane Vlfhipp, Mary Zehrung, Dotty Wagner, Pat Lauer and Marilyn Cheney. Games were tentatively scheduled with the Uni- versity of Cincinnati and Miamisburg. Ping-pong tournaments also started early in March with everyone eager to get out her paddle and ball. Forming the team were Izzie Funk- houser, Helen johnson, Meredith Hardy and CeCe Bradley. In a junior high badminton tournament jane Rininger was winner of the singles. In the ping- Jane Rininger fleftl and Marilyn Cheney look over the standings in the badminton pong tournament Cathie Young captured the singles title, while Betsy Greer and Sally Wil- liams were winners of the doubles. These girls will be looking forward to participating in the senior high t0LlrflHH1EDtS in the years to come. This spring a bowling team was added to the list of spring sports. The team consisting of Meredith Hardy, Patsy Wfilliamson, CeCe Bradley, Barbara Mitchell. and Charlotte Cunningham practiced once a week at the Poelking Alley. where an instructor showed them some pointers on delivery of the ball. Several games with other schools were anticipated by the team. tournament. B. Greer returns Zarbocles slam while Sally W'illiams watches.

W'ith such a fine season in 1952, the '-Iills will have to work hard to surpass their previous record. Returning to the courts this spring were Betty Epstein, Helen johnson, Izzie Funkhouser, Suzie Zumbrink, and Joanne Leyda. joining the var- sity were Dotty Wagner, Lois Abel, Nancy Fow- ler, Mary Ann Payne, and Nannette Spurlino. Betty Epstein, number one singles for the team, holds the twenty-third rank in the nation for girls eighteen and under. In the Mid-western SQUA section of the country she is ranked fourth. By winning the Regional Center Play-Off, Betty ranks first in the Ohio Valley and was able to play in the Nationals at Philadelphia. Although this is Betty's last year with the team, Suzie Zumbrink, a sophomore, is following in her footsteps. In the fifteen and under age group Suzie is ranked third in the Ohio Valley and fifth in the Westerns and is the winner in her age group of the Herald's Tennis Center Tournament. She has played in many of the sur- rounding states and is looking forward to a fine tennis season.

UNIOR 'JILLS Undefeated freshmen 'jills look like good material for senior sports in the years to come. Coached by Miss Tullis and led by Cinny Grant, captain, the junior 'jills conquered all four opponents in their successful hockey season. Apparently using their hockey record as an example, the ,jills followed through with an un- defeated basketball season of five victories. Bets , . . Y Greer, captain of the team, was high scorer in four of the games. The Junior 'Jill tennis team is looking for- ward to eight matches this spring. Last season the 'jills were defeated only by Middletown and so should have hopes of an excellent record this year. Left: Doubles team Rininger fleftj and Greer pose for a shot.
