M ' f I Ma s E 5 ACADEMICS A AKEN LIFELONG INTERESTS Academics from sciences to literature and language consume the greatest part of an OakWoodite's time. Despite the complaints of homework-burdened students, these courses awaken the interests of future physicists, diplomats, and teachers. Because of these interests, we spend hours taking advantage of the challenges provided by problems in mathematics and natural sciences, perfecting skills in foreign languages, and utilizing the resources of the public and school libraries to read extensively in a variety of intriguing topics. After weeks of note-taking, Brady Robinson begins to type the rough draft of her English research theme. Physics students Steve Hayes and Jack Riley evaluate data obtained from perform- ing an experiment on equilibrium. Marianne Bieser finds the school library to be a quiet place to catch up on her studies.

Struggling with rugged College Board Exams, signing up for ACT's, meeting the deadline with a college application- all these are common occurrences in the life of an Oakwood student. As well over 9072, of this year's seniors and a majority of underclassmen plan to go on to higher education, preparing for college is of great concern to most Oakwoodites. Using our cumulative grade records, personal interests and test scores as guides, counselors direct us toward suitable colleges. After a series of interviews with college representatives, bounteous catalogue reading, and, perhaps, numerous visits to campuses, we are ready to apply to carefully selected schools--thus taking a step to insure a successful future. 8 1 ll Nl El was sep ll Ill 3 ii E11 H srlfffleii' fi, ci ig' ff Q i 3,1 Ili' fm ,, or h-'iff 8 is 5 gf Mr. Hummon, senior guidance counselor, reviews college admissions requirements with Pete Woodward and Lolly Pfleger.

We learn how' to organize by planning weekly open houses or spectacular proms, and we learn the importance of responsibility by taking an active part in student govern- ment or by being officers of any of the clubs. Indeed, we are putting free time to profitable use by de- veloping character and skills today which will undoubt- edly play an important part in our adult lives tomorrow. jack Riley, candidate for governor in the Ohio YMCA Youth- in-Government Program, discusses his platform with Y Secre- tary, Mr. Martin.

Sports such as golf, tennis, and basketball provide healthful exercise now and will continue to be enjoyed after we graduate from high school.

A fall picnic at the home of Miss Page began the club's formal meetings. The twelve members then in the society used this time to plan the induction of new members and programs for the year. Under the guidance of Miss Page and the leadership of its officers-president, George Rabg vice-president, Bill Brun- T digeg secretary, Caroline Compton, and treasurer, Ruth Up- degraff-the induction in early November of twenty-four juniors and seniors and the other programs were activated as had been planned. Continued sales of pens, pencils, and note paper, and presentation of pins honoring finalists in the Miami District Scholarship Test were the main projects of the society. Bi- Weekly meetings were spent in discussions on preparation and selection of colleges and jobs, and listening to Various speakers. Rounding out their year's program Were the Honor Society's social activities which included the fall picnic and a Christmas tea for the past and present society members.

The induction ceremonies, conducted by the five stu- dents who had joined the chapter last year, followed a banquet at Culpls Cafeteria. A speech on the personal necessities, educational requirements, and career opportunities in the journalistic field given by Mr. Glen Thompson, editor of the I01!l'77lll Herald, was also a part of the opening meeting. With the guidance of Miss Esther Crisman, the following officers for the 1963-1964 school year were elected: Bruce Snyder, Presidentg Nancy Wilcher, Program Chairmang and Barb Hall, Secretary.

Several members of the council attended a student council meeting at Colonel White to get ideas for our student council. The council put into effect the student court and the monitoring system, and sponsored the homecoming and basketball ceremonies and the dances that followed. President Charles Deuser was assisted by Vice-President Dan Price, Secretary Bill Pees and Treasurer John Vollbrecht. The Junior Student Council, led by officers Tim Larkin, President, Debbie Coughlin, Vice-President, and Doug Tal- bott, Secretary-Treasurer, has adequately represented the junior high student body this year. They discussed proper school apparel, school spirit, and conduct at the basketball games and in the halls. ju. HIGH STUDI-.NT COUNCIL-Tbil'II row: Gray, Schaeffer, Fraim, Ling- Owen, C. Brower, M.

As the year progressed, the court was awarded more responsibilities and consequently, more student body support. The court was composed of five judges-Susan Stans- field, Pete Lacouture, Bruce Snyder, Sally Creager, Emily Brower, and two bailiffs-Howie Smith and Sherry Jorgensen. They handled cases, on a rotation basis, every Friday after school, dealing with incidents requiring discipline from run- ning in the halls to disorderly classroom conduct. The ac- cused persons, having been referred by Mr. McGowan, a teacher, or a hall monitor, were allowed to speak in their own defense at the trial. The verdicts were carefully considered. Sentencing involved theme writing, clean-up campaigns, and similar punishments. It seems quite important to realize the value the Student Court, in conjunction with the Student Council, can have in solving our present problems of student government. After its experimental year, the student body must realize that the Student Court can do little toward improving existing atti- tudes without the support of the school behind it.

Headed by their officers--Jack Riley, President, Ann Lambert, Vice-President, Emily Brower, Secretary, and George Rab, Treasurer-JCOWA members participated in a series of inter-school activities: the High School Institute, a two-day program featuring a speaker from the State De- partment and a panel discussion by experts on the Middle East, the Model General Assembly where JCOXVA delegates represent all the members of the United Nations meeting in Caucuses, debating motions, and voting on resolutions, and the six-day spring study tour to Washington and New York City. Night meetings were an innovation to the Oakwood JCOWA chapter. Mr. John 'Sullivan talked to the club on Egypt, and later several of this area's American Field Service students came to the Y to tell about their impressions of the United States. National Forensic League encourages students to develop speaking ability through ,interscholastic competition. Six events provide opportunities for varying areas of interest- Humorous and Dramatic Interpretation, Oratorical Declama- tion, Debate, Original Oratory, and Extemporaneous Speaking. Although many Oakwood participants won medals during the year at various contests, the individual events tournament at Buckeye Valley High School was one of the most successful of the year. That cold Saturday in January saw Oakwood contestants win four out of the six first-place trophies. Becky Holloway, Emily Brower, June Finnell, and Joe Chamberlain-each added to the excitement of the Oak- wood delegation by winning a trophy. Mr. Loren Shearer, speech director, and his assistant, Mrs. Carol Beard, spent many hours after school in coaching speakers in preparation for the Saturday contests, which they also attended. Oakwood sponsored its two annual tourna- ments-individual events in December and debate in January. The Speech Parents' Association provided trophies for the two contests. The regular contest season which ended in mid-February, was followed by district and state contests near the end of the month. Winners of the state contests qualified for National competition in June. Last year Oakwood sent two students to the National finals in Houston, Texas. Both Emily Brower and Joe Chamberlain participated in the Student Congress phase of that event. NATIONAL FORENSIC LEAGUE-FOZLYLIJ row: Callahan, Graves, Surdyk, Worth, S. Mandas, J. Beerbower, S.

Industry Characterizes Acorn Staff Bruce Snyder explains the camera to Melissa Parker. Carol Vontz, Ann Lambert, and Sherry Jorgensen look over old yearbooks. N Even before the 1962-63 yearbook had gone to press, the Acorn staff was planning this year's book, its layout, theme, and color scheme. The staff of the 1965-64 Acorn chosen last year was kept busy throughout the summer taking pictures and soliciting ads. XVork increased with the opening of school in the fall. Under the supervision of Miss Crisman, dummies for the various sections of the book were drawn up and the layout worked out. Mr. Potter offered guidance for the advertise- ment section and for the financial affairs of the publication. With the establishment of printing deadlines the activity .of the Journalism room reached fever-pitch. Copy had to be measured, typed, proofread and retyped. Pictures also had to be cut, labeled, and placed. As sections sent to the printer were marked off, the pressure eased. Assignments once more were increased. When proof had to be read and cycle of publication for the Acorn was completed and began once more. 22 Oak Leaf Staff Meets This year's Oak Leaf staff consisted of two seniors, five juniors, four sophomores, and three freshmen. The year be- gan with a concentrated study of techniques necessary for writing news stories, editorials, features, and sports stories. Despite the fact that there were only three students with previous experience, Kristen Kuhns, Martha Haacke, and Bob Deuser, on the staff, the paper was well-organized and always on time. Kristen Kuhns and Susan Stansfield, planning page one, portrayed the most important school happenings in a new and different manner. The new masthead, designed by Susan Stansfield, added a touch of old English style to the paper. Page two, laid out by Martha Haacke and Barb Schisler, showed editorials written from many different angles con- cerning varied topics, as well as features covering everything from Santa Claus to preventive medicine. The staff's only boys, Dave Arnett, Beaver Boyer, and Bob Deuser presented page three in a new light. The year's exciting sports events were reported in a manner which showed much improvement over last year. Diane Nowak and Sally Lytle arranged page four in such a way to make it more interesting to all the readers. The business and circulation aspects of the paper were put into the charge of Jane Helsley, Deborah Probst, and Sandra Rawson, the staff's only fresmen. Perhaps the most difficult task of putting the paper together, that of proof- reading all the copy, was handled by Beth Hageman and Mary Jane Wharton. A greater number of drawings added a new spark of humor to every issue. Artists, working on their own time, were George Rab, Janice Harlan, Chuck Martin, and Steve Coy. Working under the direction of Miss Esther Crisman and Mr. Willard Potter, the staff improved the paper with each issue.

The sounds of Checkmate and It's your move that echo from the industrial arts room each noon are evidence the perfection of these attributes is well under way. Now in its seventh year of existence, the Chess Club is the result of the interest of students in the challenging game where individual is pitted against individual Without the support of a team or partner. Under the guidance of Mr. Cato, the club has accomplished its original purpose-teaching students to play and enjoy chess. The organization has gone beyond this primary purpose as seen by the various awards and outstanding reputation it has collected in the Dayton area. Over the years the club has had such distinctions as a Tri-State Junior Championf-lerry Finke in the class of 1959, and winning the championship trophy of the Greater Dayton Chess League twice in succession. With the capable present officers and the diligent under- classmen members this year and the successive ones, promise added distinctions to both the Chess Club and Oakwood High School.

With the help of advisors Miss Patricia O'Leary and Mrs. Helen Russell, the council sponsored its annual enrollment drive, sold Oakwood book covers in the senior high halls, and built a school supply chest to be sent to a needy community abroad. Doug Kirk represented the Club by serving as Vice- President of the Dayton Area High School Red Cross Council. Other delegates to this council from the school were Linda Delaplane, Lorna Dunlop, Kathy Fogt, Mary Jane Wharton, and Diane Nowak. Run Caoss OFFICERS-President, C. Comptong Vice-President, D.

Under the supervision of Mr. Carmichael and the club officers: President, Pete Hobstetter, Vice-President, Christy Ausbeckg and Secretary-Treasurer, Cathy Buchan, the organi- zation also prepared decorations for the Basket Ball and spon- sored an art trip. Another program of the Pen and Brush Club was the sending of outstanding artists to the Dayton Art Institute for special instruction. Dick Tuck, Chris Boudette, Pete Hobstetter, Ken Stillwagon, Dick Conover, and Jim Stafford, were active in these classes, which met three afternoons a Week and offered nine hours college credit. Four members brought honor to the club for their dis- plays in the Regional Scholastic Art Awards Exhibition at Shillitois in Cincinnati.

They pre- sented two programs and added more skill and variation to the marching band during the football season. In addition to their success on the football field, the pep band, under the student direction of Joe Gerstle, spurred the school on with extra spirit at the basketball games. They played school songs as well as music selected to urge the team to victory. Two programs were presented for the parents and stu- dents. One was in February and the other in May. The winter concert consisted of many different selections by the entire band and solos by Susan Martin, Dale Van Scoyk, Carol Houpt, and a drum trio by Bob Boettcher, Ruth Carey, and Roger Millett. Two students were awarded special honors. Carol Houpt was chosen as an oboe soloist for the Dayton Philharmonic Orchestra. Susan Martin was selected as one of ninety stu- dents to play in the Ohio All-State Orchestra. The band participated in the District and State Contests during the month of March.

' With officers John Montgomery, Presidentg Sarah Kirgis, Vice-Presidentg and Rob Craig, Secretary-Treasurer, having been elected last spring, the Senior High Choir began Working on new numbers in September. Diligent practice under the direction of Mr. Uhl resulted in an impressive performance for the annual Christmas Con- cert. The program was climaxed by The Hallelujah Chorus from Handel's Messiah, for this number the choir was accom- panied by both the piano and the electric organ. Sarah Kirgis, a four-year member of the choir, was honored by being selected as one of the eighty students in the United States of America High School Choir.

Late in September, Mr. Donald Harness, dramatics teacher, and Mr. Loren Shearer, speech coach, chose Night of Iunzmry 16th, a comedy courtroom drama by Ayn Rand, for the senior class play. Try-outs for the eighteen roles were held during the first week of October. All those interested in working on the stage crew were asked to sign up for the various duties, final selections were made by the student director, Vicki Honeyman. Construction work on the court- room set was begun and completed at several evening meetings of the crew. As soon as the cast familiarized themselves with the set, the daily rehearsals, under the direction of Mr. Harness, were devoted to the polishing and perfection of their performance. As opening night neared, last-minute changes in cast and crew were made. The lighting and sound crews-ably led by the stage manager, Steve Hayes-met regularly to learn their responsibilities in producing a smooth per- formance. The make-up crew had to study the play, order the necessary make-up, and transform fellow seniors into distinguished lawyers, efficient clerks, and sophisticated secretaries. A wide variety of costumes was needed-from a judge,s black robe and a policewoman's uniform to a gangster's gaudy tie and pin- stripe suit. The play was unique in that the witnesses, seated in the audience, were called to the stage to testify and the jury was selected by ballot from those present. After all evidence had been heard, the jury re- tired to arrive at their verdict. The first night jury found the de- fendant guilty of first degree murderg the second night, a different jury acquitted her. 32 Sherry Jorgensen testifies for the prosecution.

Henkel, M. Norton, C. Markey, D. Shimmelman, L. Calahan. Time Out For Ginger was the Junior Classes' first dramatic presentation. The humorous story of an independent teen-age girl who exerts her individualism by joining the football team was directed by Mr. Donald Harness, the new dramatics teacher and by student director, Mark Linebaugh. The play was single-cast and required hours of nightly rehearsals by the eleven junior actors and actresses. Working just as diligently were the supporting off-stage crews who were responsible for the stage settings, props, publicity, make-up, and costuming. The combined efforts of the directors, actors, and tech- nical staff resulted in two outstanding performances of Time Out For Ginger on March 13 and 14. it ii Ginger, Carolyn Markey, contemplates her role 33 Diane's 'aw dro s as her name is announced as Oakwood,s homecomin I S queen. Five excited senior girls, a thrilling football game, the military crispness of the band, and the exuberant student body and audience-all these were features of the 1963 home- coming. At the half time of the October 4 game with North- ridge, the Homecoming Court of Barb Hendry, Kristin Kuhns, Lois Loucks, Diane Schaeffer, and Linda Wysocki was presented. Diane Schaeffer was crowned Queen of the annual festivities. The girls, escorted respectively by Guy Mehuys, Jack Riley, Alan Schaeffer, Charlie Deuser, and Phil Eckert, circled the track in gleaming Chevrolet convertibles driven by the five top ranking senior boys-Sanford Stowe, Gary Ensor, Buzzy Pierce, Bruce Snyder, and George Rab. Sonny Flaherety provided the music at the dance after a 24-8 victory over Northridge. Ken Stillwagon bestowed the traditional kiss upon Diane and presented her with the crown and flowers. The homecoming royalty was further honored at the post-game dance in the gym. Charlie Deuser was the general chairman for both the dance and half time ceremonies.

Climaxing the 1963-64 basketball season was the selec- tion of the queen at the traditional Basket Ball dance. Spon- sored by the Student Council, the dance and festivities took place on February 21 after the Oakwood-Fairborn game. During half-time, the candidates for queen-Sally Alten- burg, Barb Hendry, Kathy Huxley, Kristin Kuhns, Barb Mokrzycki, and Melissa Parker were presented with their escorts. These girls were then honored and the spectators were entertained by the Dayton Black Hawks, the nationally famous precision drill team champions. Huge caricatures of the basketball players decorating the walls and the music of Prince Davis were the features of the post-game dance. Again the candidates for queen were hon- ored. Kathy Huxley became the 1964 Basket Ball queen, and Jim Stuhlman was chosen from among Bruce Snyder, Alan Schaeffer, Buzzy Pierce, Kenny Stillwagon, and Bill Keadey to be the Basket Ball king. 35 l The Basket Ball royalty, Kathy Huxley and Jim Stuhlman, share a dance Seniors Begin Christmas Festivities in Camelot fi Sarah Kirgis and Alan Schaeffer reign over Camelot.

Lady Diane Schaeffer and Lord Charles Deuser, the monarchs reigning since last year's junior prom, presented the crowns, flowers, and traditional kisses to the new royalty-Queen Sarah Kirgis and King Alan Schaeffer. Based on the prom's theme, the entertainment was di- rected by Mrs. Betty Schoenmeyer. The court and their guests were amused by dancing bears, the dance of the nobles, a procession of queens and their pages, a peasants' dance, songs of minstrels and the court jester's antics. One interest- ing feature of the entertainment was that several members of the court, which included Sally Altenberg, Melissa Parker, Barb Hendry, Birthe Mortensen, Rob Gilliland, Steve Hayes, Guy Meyhuys, and Jim Stuhlman, were participants. Not all the festivities returned to medieval times. Echo- ing from the lofty candelabras and murals depicting lords, ladies, and other people characteristic of the era, was the music of Teddy and the Rough Riders. For one evening Camelot and its winter splendor were recreated to the enjoyment of all in attendance.

To improve stu- dents, writing skill, to improve their skill in reading, and to acquaint them with the significant literary works that are our heritage are the goals of a comprehensive English pro- gram for all six grades. For the first time, this year's students had the oppor- tunity to improve their reading skills in the new reading laboratory. Cffered as a non-credit course, developmental reading was taught by Mrs. Ofte and Miss Van Kirk and proved to be a valuable experience with applications in many different subjects. The fact that several of last year's seniors received college credit or advanced standing for their high school work in English at Oakwood proved the value of our three-year Ad- vanced Placement English program. Four new teachers-Mrs. Carol Beard, Mrs. Mary Ellen Braun, Mrs. Anne Buck, and Mr. Donald Harness-were added to the English department.

It is unusual for a school of O'akwood's size to have such a varied language curriculum. Although German I was not offered last year, this year it was again included in the course of study. Students who had already begun a study of the language and wished to continue were instructed by Miss Martinka who had charge of all the German classes. In addition to French, Spanish is also being taught in the seventh and eighth grades in an audio-lingual program. After studying either language for two years in the junior high, students earn a full credit and go on to French or Spanish II in their freshman year. This six-year sequence is Audio - ling ual Program Develops Language Skills Recording a Spanish lesson on tape in Miss Campbell's Spanish class results in better pronunciation for these second year students. aimed at giving fuller opportunities for developing reading, writing, speaking, and listening skills. Five students showed that they realize the rising political importance of the Russian language in our world by signing up for Russian I. Beginning by learning an entirely new alphabet, the class was able to converse in their new language by the end of the year. Advanced French classes concentrated upon improving their reading comprehension and studied a short novel and various plays. They also completed a research theme in French upon a chosen facet of French history or culture. Mas. SIGNE Woou-Spanish 7, 8, Ig Head of Language Departmentg B.S. Univer- sity of Daytong M.Ed.

Increasingly important in a world that is more and more dependent upon technology are science and mathematics. Since there is an abundance of careers open to those who are skilled in scientific fields, many students are planning to con- tinue their studies in these fields in college, and Oakwood provides a solid background for further study. Since next year Oakwood's first group of students who took Algebra I as eighth graders will be seniors, decisions were made about the fifth year math course. The class, which will be taught by Mr. Kindy, will not be an advanced place- ment courseg instead of being a pure college calculus course, it will cover a variety of mathematical topics. Committees of Oakwood math teachers were appointed to work for a better correlation between the elementary and high school math programs. Besides establishing a better co- ordinated program, the mathematics department will be de- veloping an approach to teaching more modern mathematics. JOHN DOWNING M3Il1 II, RALPH E.

Oakwood joined a national trend by beginning to teach the fundamental theory and structure of communism to high school students. Utilizing a new text, A Study of the USSR and Commzmismz An Historical Approach, seniors in civics classes supplemented their assignments with Outside reading. Besides magazines and newspapers, they had a reference shelf of books dealing with communism in Mr. Kuhns's room. Early in October seniors studied the operation of the Russian government and compared it to the democracy in the United States. During the second semester they learned about the economic systems in communist nations, and again em- phasis was placed upon a comparison of a controlled economy and the free enterprise system. Juniors too studied the nature of communism in their American history classes and delved into the structure and theory of Marxism-Lcninism. The Class of '65 will be the first class to complete the new two-year unit in communism. L. RICHARD CARMICHAEL- M1ss KAREN KAH'-AKC 7, D.

Music students again made use of the tape recorder and the stereo set that was new last year. The sheet music for the choir was numbered and put into individual folders to be kept in a newly built cabinet in the music room. For the first time the entire Christmas con- cert was recorded on long playing records, and three hundred of these albums were sold to earn money for the choir fund. The spring band concert on May fifteenth highlighted the year's activities for the band. The band, glee clubs, and the choir all proved their musical skills by competing suc- cessfully in competition. Art students completed a variety of projects. Many worked on individual projects such as jewelry or sculpture, and art classes supplied the imaginative and eye-catching posters for football and basketball games. The art department climaxed a successful year with an impressive display at the Four Arts Exhibit in May. LOREN SHEARER-Speech I, Hg NFL Advisorg Cafeteria Dutyg B.A. College of Wooster. 49 fi..

Advanced students spent six weeks studying family relationships and used a new text on marriage and family living. For the first time this year not only home economics students but all interested senior girls were eligible to take the Betty Crocker Homemaking Test which was ad- ministered in early December. Because typing is not only a valuable business skill but also a practical ability for speeding school work, there is a continued interest in typing at Oakwood. Since there are three electric typewriters, each student has an opportunity to work on one of these machines for one week during the year. Mr. Hoffman,s mechanical drawing classes had the bene- fit of a new blueprinting machine and new drawing boards.

To begin this year of activities, seniors Caroline Compton and Steve Hayes led the student body in a series of lively dis- cussions pertaining to school problems and their possible solu- tions, at the annual Camp Kern Conference sponsored by the Oakwood Y.M.C.A. Football season found the seniors very busy with home- work and thus welcoming the chance to get out on weekends and cheer the team to victory. Pep assemblies, pep-o-grams, car caravans to the away games, and victory posters all helped to incite a healthy amount of vigorous school spirit with which the students backed the team all season. The climax to the football season came at the Homecoming on October 4 when Diane Schaeffer was crowned Homecoming Queen. After football season, the Senior Class Play was enacted. This year's Senior Class was the first to present a single cast play-a comedy drama entitled The Night of january Six- teenth. Immediately after the play the class, under the direc- tion of the co-chairmen, Cherie Riesing and Dick Tuck, be- gan to work on the Senior Prom. The theme, Christmas in Camelot, was one of medieval gaiety and splendor. An eve- ning of excitement was brought to a peak with the crowning of Sarah Kirgis and Alan Schaeffer as King and Queen of the event. The year was not entirely made up of fun and gaiety, however. Many hours were spent preparing for and taking a series of tests which included College Boards, Senior Scholar- ship Tests, and American College Tests. The results of all the testing proved Very satisfactory as Caroline Compton placed fourth in the State and Emily Brower, twenty-third in the State on the Senior Scholarship Tests. Caroline Compton, Emily Brower, and George Rab were also National Merit Scholarship Finalists. Seniors were kept busy the first few months of 1964 studying for semester exams. Then they were faced with the challenge of writing their research theme which was handed in during March. During this time, Mr. Kuhns planned his annual trip to the Montgomery County Court House and Montgomery County Jail with his Senior Civics Classes. The basketball season proved to be a very exciting one as Oakwood won its first holiday tournament by defeating Fairborn High 'School and Fairmont West High School in the annual Kettering Invitational Tournament. After many other victories, the basketball season was terminated with the festive Basket Ball held in the high school gym. After the traditional Beachcombers Ball, the spring dance held by the juniors in honor of the seniors, each senior anxiously awaited the ceremonies of Baccalaureate and Com- mencement. On May 31, as each senior marched down the aisle to receive his diploma, he experienced the mixed emotions of regret as he left his high school days behind, and antici- pation as he looked forward to the unknown events of the future.

Juniors Alice Linxweiler and Sande Bergen forego lunch in order to study for an afternoon test. The junior class participated actively in extracurricular activities as well as enthusiastically in their scholastic ones. Twenty-six junior boys were members of the football team. Many boys also played on the basketball team and in other sports. Cheerleaders-Doris Back, Mary Barker, Barb Hall, Ann Halsted, Ronni Krumholtz, Bev Murphy, Pam Penny and Claudia Stanley urged the boys to victory. The juniors got their first taste of important tests for college entrance-Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Tests, Na- tional Merit Qualifying Tests, and College Boards. Twelve students participated in the Eleventh Year Advanced Place- ment English program. Students who started with Algebra I in eighth grade took their fourth year of Math. School organizations and activities held more interest for the class. Early in November twelve juniors were inducted into the National Honor Society. The class participated fully in the Camp Kern Conference in September. GAA, Varsity O, the choir, NFL, and other extracurricular organizations also held interest for juniors. Their first class play was presented in March with great success and it showed real dramatic potential. Research themes were also something new for most of the class. A social event sponsored by this year's junior class was the Beachcombefs Ball, honoring the seniors. After much dis- cussion, the class decided by a class vote that there would be no junior prom this year. In doing so, they decided to put their full effort on scholastic achievement. They did, how- ever, add to the other dances by working diligently on com- mittees for Y sponsored dances as well as those put on by the school. Class officers-Gib Gibbons, Hal Hoeland, Rob Craig, and Steve Coy, along with Mr. Johnson, chairman of the junior advisers, have helped bring the class up to the point where they can fully accept the increased responsibilities of the senior year. 70 Juniors Prepare for College Board Exams Jack Alexander Sue Allemang Debbie Aller Dave Arnett Christy Ausbeck Doris Back Becky Banks Mary Barker Tom Barrows Dave Barth Jerry Beam Linda Belden Sande Bergen Jim Billings Bob Bostrom Don Breidenbach Margie Bridstrup Barb Briner Bob Bruce Cathy Buchan Adele Buckland Scott Butcher Laughy Callahan Scott Campbell Ken Casey Steve Cctone Daryl Chase Bob Coleman Ronnie Connelly Bob Cook Ann Cowdcn Steve Coy Rob Craig Sally Creager Nancy Cromer Dave Cunningham Thad Czuba Liz Dalton Linda Dandrea Roger Davidson Linda Delaplane Jim Deuser ir - ti , W V ti , 'Qs 1 'jug V 5 ,- ' Y v - ' lr V 1 I a K W ,E f f aj i fs ' J - 4' f ' , -::. - f:'i A ,gf V - x fe 7 , N 1 CT C it Q L.

SOPHOMORE CLASS OFFICERS-Mike Riedmiller, Treasurerg Dan Stickel, Vice-Presidentg Marc Taylor, Presidentg Steve Powell, Secretary. 76 The sophomore class, as newcomers to the senior high, entered into their studies and extracurricular activities en- thusiastically. John Fraim led the reserve football team to an unde- feated season. Many other boys displayed skill as well as enthusiasm to the other sports-basketball, track, cross- country, golf, tennis, and baseball. The reserve cheerleaders- Cindy Chambers, Barb Crawford, Carol Fitzpatrick, Betsi Halliday, Kathy Holmes, and Janie Krumholtz added pep and school spirit at the basketball games. They perfected cheers with hours of work after school. The sophomore girls were active in GAA for their first year. Many played on the hockey, volleyball, and basketball teams--interscholastic as well as intramural. Thirteen sophomores participated in the Advanced Place- ment English program. The students who had already com- pleted Algebra I and geometry took Algebra II, the second class to take part in the advanced mathematics program. The class presented their first prom on April 18. They also added much to the Y open houses and dances presented throughout the year. Many students participated actively in speech and journal- istic fields. The choir, glee club and ensembles also interested the sophomores. JCOWA, and Pen and Brush had many sophomore participants. 'Class officers Marc Taylor, Mike Riedmiller, Dan Stickel, and Steve Powell showed their leadership qualities by guiding the sophomores through a successful first year in high school. The class shows promise for the years to come.

This year they made the first important decisions concerning their course of study. Most schedules included English, sciences, and foreign languages. One group of advanced mathematics students studied geometry this year. Through- out the year, their knowledge was checked by various state and national tests. There are many activities in which the freshmen could take part for the first time. Many freshmen joined the senior band and choir. They also had an excellent ensemble. Other freshmen became members of the National Forensic League as a result of competing in debate and declamation contests. For the first time Junior Council on World Affairs was open to freshmen although their participation was limited. Among the social events planned by the freshmen Were three junior assemblies and several Y parties. The class members participated in many sports. The freshmen football squad was encouraged by cheerleaders Laura Hafstad, Terrell Kepler, Bitsy Carpenter, Kathy Cham- berlain, and Bonnie Murphy. The basketball cheerleaders were Alice Keyes, Becky Burns, Kathy xvValker, Janet Fanning, and Elma Carey. Led by class officers Bob Young, Presidentg Wendy Talbott, Vice-Presidentg and Chris Clark, Secretary-Treasurer, the freshmen have shown that they are prepared to enter the senior high next year.

Having mastered the junior high routine, they had more time to enjoy school ac- tivities. Both boys and girls enjoyed participating in sports such as basketball, football, and hockey. The eighth grade football and basketball squads were spurred on by cheerleaders Debbie Coughlin, Roberta Wells, Ann Hoeland, Carol Lam- bert, Ann Tuverson, and Heather Huffman. By taking part in junior band and choir, they learned to appreciate music. The class officers-Jeff Hayes, Presidentg Steve Met- calfe, Vice-President, Robin Gorog, Secretary, and Peter Mitchell, Treasurer-have led the eighth grade class through the middle year of junior high school. The class is now ready to accept the responsibility of being leaders of the junior high during 1964-1965. EIGHTH GRADE OFFICERSTPCYCF Mitchell, Treasurerg Robin Gorog, Sec retaryg Steve Metcalfe, Vice-Presidentg Jeff Hayes, President. Seventh Graders Challenging New World The seventh graders enthusiastically entered into a chal- lenging new world. Changing classes, electing officers and taking exams were some of their new experiences. Many seventh graders became members of the art club, the seventh grade choir, and the junior band. New opportunities were opened to them in the field of sports, and many students participated on both intramural and interscholastic teams. The cheerleaders for their football and basketball teams were Ada Harrigan, Kathy Herbert, Cocky Welch, Dina Michealson, Lisa Dodds and Joany Sweeterman. Under the able leadership of their officers-Curt Schaef- fer, Presidentg Lark Ludlow, Vice-President, Kathy Herbert, Secretaryg and Roger Beardmore, Treasurer-the seventh graders made an adjustment to their new environment. The enthusiasm possessed by these students during this past year will help them to accept the responsibilities that each new year at Oakwood will bring.

VARSITY BASKETBALL CHEERLEADERSTAHH Halstead, Claudia Stanley, Ruth Carey, Pam Penny, Ronnie Krumholrz, Beverly Murphy 92 The spirit at Oakwood sporting events this year was vastly enhanced by a band of dedicated cheerleaders. The many long hours of practice put in by these girls were re- flected clearly in the outstanding quality of their cheers and in the professional manner in which they were presented. Most of the pep at the pep assemblies and the cheer in the cheering sections can be traced directly to these spirited young ladies as a source. In addition to their usual cheering duties, the cheerlead- ing staff was instrumental in starting an Oakwood Pep Club organizing caravans to football and basketball games, making announcements of upcoming sporting events over the public address system, and placing in the halls. Our cheerleaders are certainly to be commended for the fine job which they have done in promoting school spirit over the past year. To them must go part of the credit for the fine showings which this year's athletic squads have made. FRESHMAN FOOTBALL CHEEm.EADERs-Top row: B. Carpenter, C. Cham berlain. Bottom row: L.

Under the able guidance of the coaching staff, which is composed of our accomplished head coach Mr. Wysocki, and his assistants, Mr. Armbruster and Mr. Stuckey, the team narrowly missed capturing the SWBL crown. This season marked a milestone in Oakwood football, as coach Wysocki instigated a two platoon system. This arrange- ment, which features both an offensive eleven and a defensive eleven, allows more boys to participate, while it eliminates the danger of players becoming ineffective because of fatigue due to the necessity of playing both ways. The players' eager acceptance of the system and the obvious success with which they employed it would tend to indicate that we will be seeing more of the two platoon concept in future years.

Happily, the second half found power back Tim Coughlin shifting into high gear and roaring for a trio of scores. When the dust had settled, Lebanon was on the short end of a 22-6 margin, and Oakwood had the first of several come-from-behind victories. OAKWOOD 24 BROOKVILLE 0 The Jacks' second game was the occasion for their first shutout and, also, their first Southwestern Buckeye League victory.

Bob Coleman, Bill Brundige, Bob Larken, Tim Coughlin, and Phil Newbold all contributed touchdowns to a 34 to 0 mauling. Our defense was also on the ball, as it refused to yield even one point to the opponent. Up through this point in the season, the defense had yielded a scant six points to Oakwood opponents, while the offense had rolled up more than sixty. OAKWOOD 22 TIPP CITY 22 The Oakwood-Tipp City game was one of the most ex- citing and well played contests of the year for both schools. In a tension-packed four quarters, Oakwood battled a hard- hitting and spirited Tipp City squad to a 22-22 deadlock. Fullback Bill Brundige powered his way for the first two scores, and Phil Newbold added the third. OAKWOOD 24 NORTHRIDGE 8 Before a homecoming crowd of 3000, the Lumberjacks bounced back from their previous week's tie to chill the Polar Bears of Northridge by the score of 24-8. End Bob Larkin and halfbacks Tim Coughlin and Phil Newbold ac- counted for three of the six pointers. The fourth came on a spectacular play by veteran defensive end Bill Keadey. Bill picked up a fumbled kick-off and proceeded to thread his way through most of the Northridge team for a touchdown jaunt of seventy-seven yards. OAKWOOD 38 VANDALIA 0 Oakwood achieved its third shutout of the season by tromping the Vandalia Aviators 38-0. All five touchdowns in this massacre were scored on runs, three by stocky full- back Bill Brundige and two by shifty power back Tim Coughling however, Ken Stillwagonis accurate passing figured greatly in sustaining the touchdown drives. After a scoreless first quarter, the home forces touched the Aviators for a pair of TD's in the second. The game was put out of Vandalia's reach with three more tallies in the third period. Most of the credit for this third shutout should go to Oakwood's offensive and defensive lines which opened gaping holes on offense, and permitted none of the same on defense.

OAKWOOD 40 EATON 6 The Oakwood offense didn't wait long to begin the 40-6 rout of Eaton. On the first play from scrimmage, the line opened a gaping hole through which Tim Coughlin raced for a sixty-nine yard score. Tim collected two additional TD's in the course of the evening. These, coupled with solo six-pointers by Phil Newbold and Steve McIntire, provided a very comfortable margin. The Jacks got two touchdowns in the first quarter, one in the second, and three more in the third. All five conversion attempts were successful. Out- standing in this ,game were quarterback Ken Stillwagon, whose talented passing arm netted over ninety yards, and lineman Andy Hess and Steve Wentworth, who figured in a great number of the tackles made on Eaton runners. OAKWOOD 8 NORTHMONT 50 In the game which, in effect, determined the SWBL championship, an excellent Northmont team bested the Jacks by a score of 30-8. As a standing room only crowd of 6000 looked on, the Thunderbolts took the opening kick-off and marched sixty-seven yards in eight plays for the score. The Bolts scored two more times in the second period, and added a fourth TD in the last quarter. Tim Coughlin scored the lone Oakwood touchdown. A most damaging blow to the Jacks' cause was the interception of three Stillwagon passes. Their win over Oakwood left Northmont as the only un- defeated team in the league. The end of the season found them still possessing this distinction. OAKWOOD 30 TROTWOOD 6 Bouncing back from their last week's defeat, Oakwood beat Trotwood by a convincing 38-6 margin. Although we trailed at halftime by six points, the Jacks, offense started rolling in the second half. Single scores by Tim Coughlin and Phil Newbold and a duo of TD,s by Bill Brundige proved to be more than sufficient. OAKWOOD 28 WEST MILTON 12 Oakwood emerged victorious in their last contest of the season. Starting ,their scoring early, for a change, the Jacks led 20-0 at the half. The final score was 28-12. A thirty- three yard run by halfback Steve McIntire, a nine yard pass from Ken Stillwagon to Bob Coleman, and runs by Tim Coughlin of six and sixty-three yards accounted for the scores. Having completed a successful season, the football team was honored at a banquet in the Oakwood cafeteria. Singled out for special praise were most valuable lineman, Dave Prugh, most valuable back, Bill Brundige, and Judge Howell Award winner, Bill Keadey. In addition, Bill Brundige, Bill Keadey, Tim Coughlin, Ken Sltillwagon, Howie Smith, Bob Coleman, and Bob Larkin were named to All-League teams by the Dayton newspapers. Furthermore, both Bill Keadey and Tim Coughlin were named as backs on the All-Greater Dayton team, and Coughlin was voted most valuable player in the Dayton area. 96 7 Q- .1 get ri- - t Y o ' in s X X. pt .

Who are those crazy fellows running in the road? A cry of this sort indicates that the cross-country team is once again jogging through the streets of Oakwood in preparation for coming meets. This year they were indeed well practiced. For the second time in the past four seasons, the Oak- wood cross-country team has emerged as SWBL champions. In winning by 38 points over the nearest team, the harriers captured seven of the first twenty places, and all of the first three-a record unmatched in league history. The seven championship runners were: first, Armand Morin C10:36jg second, Rob Craig, third, John Shivelyg tenth, Bill Corwin, twelfth, Rusty Tuversong fourteenth, Scott Butcher, and twentieth, Buzzy Pierce. The team, which also compiled a very respectable total record of nine wins and only two losses, met with such a lhigh degree of success because of the many long and rigorous hours of practice which the boys spent in preparation for their meets. As their veteran coach-advisor Mr. Carr stated: These young men are champions because they are willing to practice diligently and work as a unit. In cross-country, the winning team is determined by the first FIVE runners, thus, success is entirely dependent upon the effort of the entire squad. The future appears bright indeed for future cham- pionships for coach Carr when one considers that five of seven members of the first team will be returning next year. In recognition of the team's accomplishment this year, each letterman was awarded a plaque with SWBL Champions 1963,' engraved on it. Those winning varsity letters were Armand Morin, John Shively, Rob Craig, Bill Corwin, Rusty Tuverson, Buzzy Pierce, Scott Butcher, and team manager Ron Paul.

I0 This was a year of long-awaited dreams come true for veteran varsity basketball mentor Earl Gardner. Both the Fairmont Invitational Tournament title and the SWBL league championship fell before the unbeatable combination of his expert coaching and the team's proficiency at putting to prac- tice the strategy of their red-headed coach. Not enough praise can be given the fine athletes who comprised the championship squad, for it was their dedication to being the best, their long hours of practice, and their per- sonal sacrifices which combined to earn Oakwood a mark of athletic distinction of which we all can be justly proud. The fact that, wherever they were, the varsity squad deported themselves as gentlemen adds just that much more honor to their achievements. The fine showings of these boys and others like them have extinguished the idea that Oakwood is a pushover in athletics. In accomplishing a feat such as winning the league co-championship, the members of the basketball squad have found glory not only for themselves but also for every person associated with Oakwood High School. They surely deserve any and all recognition which they receive for their excep- tionally fine season. Deserving of Commendation is the fine job done this season by the Lumberjack coach-Earl Gardner. In his nine years at Oakwood, Gardner has propelled the basketball team from the league cellar to the championship. There is no coach more devoted to his work or more expert at it in the SWBL. Besides being a fine coach, he also has always stood as an excellent example for his squads of the gentlemanly con- duct and sportsmanship characteristic of a true champion. When awarded the trophy as co-coach of the year, Earl Gardner received an honor which he has long deserved. Every- one associated with coach Gardner is happy that the basketball program was blessed with players possessed of the talent neces- sary to complement the perennially fine performance of its head coach. OAKWOOD 5 8 BELMONT 84 The season got off to a rather dismal start as Belmont, which was to be rated as a top contender for number one team in the state, handily walked over the home forces by the score of 84-58. Bob Larkin earned top scoring honors by contributing twenty-one points to the losing effort. OAKXVOOD 67 BROOKVILLE 49 Bouncing back from defeat, the jacks obtained their first win of the season at the expense of Brookville.

OAKWOOD 70 WEST CARROLLTON 66 In a contest which was close throughout, the Jacks squeaked to a win over West Carrollton. Bob Larkin's sixteen rebounds and Ken Stillwagon's eighteen points helped put this one away. OAKWOOD 68 CENTERVILLE 81 Disaster struck the week of the Centerville contest, as big Bob Larkin incurred the foot injury which was to side- line him for the next four games. In a game in which nothing went right for the Jacks, the home forces went down to a thirteen point defeat. The only bright spot in the evening was the performance turned in by substitute Scott Butcher. Coming from the bench, Scott gathered sixteen points and twelve rebounds in only three quarters of play. OAKWOOD 5 7 FAIRBORN S4 In the first game of the holiday tournament, the Jacks edged Fairborn by a slim three-point margin. This was junior foreward Rich Mandas's night to shine, as he con- tributed eighteen rebounds and thirteen points to the Winning effort. OAKWOOD S2 FAIRMONT 39 The basketball squad achieved their first big upset of the season by downing Fairmont West and, thus, winning the holiday tournament. Kenny Stillwagon led the scoring in this fine team effort by banging through nineteen points. OAKWOOD 61 TIPP CITY 65 The Tipp City Red Devils capitalized on OakWood's loss of the services of Bob Larkin, and, in a hard-fought con- 101 test, bettered the Jacks by four points. Bob Coleman was high scorer for Oakwood in defeat with twenty points. OAKWOOD 64 NORTHRIDGE 41 Twelve point efforts by Bob Coleman, Bob Larkin, and Buzzy Pierce, coupled with a twenty point scoring burst by Ken Stillwagon proved too much for the Northridge forces to cope with, as they fell before the Jacks 64-41. OAKWOOD 66 VANDALIA S 9 Vandalia rooters would have been much happier had Rich Mandas never arrived at the Oakwood-Vandalia game. Muscular Rich broke loose on this night for an impressive twenty-six point evening. Bob Larkin also contributed seven- teen points to the scoring column. flashing a victory grin is Head Coach Earl Gardner after his squad's impressive defeat of archrival Northmont. Having stolen the ball once again, talented senior guard Kenny Stillwagon scores another two points. Trying to steal the ball are Rich Mandas QNo. 441 and Scott Butcher CNO. 425. Completing his fifth year with the varsity basketball squad, head manager Bruce Snyder works on the statistics. Jacks Stun Northmont TI' OAKWOOD 61 EATON S 4 The Oakwood hoopsters boosted their season won-lost record to seven and three with this win over Eaton. For a second straight week, Rich Mandas led the scoring with eighteen points. OAKWOOD 67 NORTHMONT S S For the first time in many years, the Lumberjack forces succeeded in giving the ax to Northmont. So cherished was this victory to Earl Gardner and his boys that, had Oak- wood not won another game, this conquest of the mighty Thunderbolts would have made the season a definite success. While Rich Mandas and Bob Larkin carried the home force offense with efforts of twenty-one and thirteen points respec- tively, Bob Coleman and Ken Stillwagon turned in brilliant defensive games. In spite of the fine individual performances, this win was mostly due to a determined team effort, illustrated by the fact that ten of the twelve varsity team members saw action in the contest. This was the victory even- tually destined to earn the basketball team a tie for the league championship with Northmont. OAKWOOD 71 TROTWOOD 61 Bob Coleman's nineteen points, Rich Mandasis seven- teen, Kenny 'Stillwagonis sixteen, and Bob Larkin's twelve totaled too high a score for Trotwood to match. This seventy- one point outburst proved to be the highest game score of the season. High school teams don't get beaten very often when four or five starters hit the scoring column in double figures. OAKWOOD 48 XVEST MILTON 47 The boys of the basketball team overcame the champion- ship jinx of Oakwood and got their first taste of being league champions, second best to no team in the SWBL with their win over West Milton. In a game tense from start to finish, Oakwood just managed to slip past an inspired Milton quintet by one single point. After the contest's conclusion, Coach Gardner was seized by his joyous crew and uncere- moniously dunked in the showers. This publication has it on the best authority that the affable red-headed mentor has never enjoyed a shower more. OAKWOOD 63 FAIRBORN S3 Closing the regular season play in good style, Oakwood bettered Fairborn by a comfortable ten point spread. Veteran star Kenny Stillwagon, apparently having decided that this was the night, proceeded to swish through twenty-six points. When this was added to Buzzy Pierce's eight points and Bill Keadey's four, these three guards ended up accounting for 102 underbolts THE CHAMPIONS-Bob Larkin, Rich Mandas, Alan Schaeffer, jim Stuhlman, Mike Murphy, Bob Coleman, Scott Butcher, Kenny Stillwagon, Dan Price, Phil Newbold, Bill Keadey, Buzzy Pierce. sixty percent of the total offensive effort-a fact which the three little menn delighredly impressed upon the tearn's fore- Wards and centers for the duration of the following Week. OAKWOOD 43 BELMONT 75 With his typical drawing luck, Earl Gardner had the ill fate of exacting top ranked Belrnot as Oakwood's first foe in the post-season tournament. As if this wasn,t complication enough, Bob Larkin, who had again injured his foot while warming up for the Fairborn game, was incapacitated for the rest of the season with a cracked ankle. In spite of the cards being stacked against them, the Oakwood hoopsters put up a valiant battle nevertheless. Even in defeat, the boys con- ducted themselves in such a Way as to win the admiration of both the administration and the student body at Oakwood. THE RESERVES At this juncture, it would seem proper to say a few words about coach James Schantz's reserve squad. Although pre-empted by the varsity as far as publicity is concerned, the reserves work every bit as hard as the varsity and are just as essential to the success of Oakwood basketball. Head coach Gardner is quick to point out that the varsity would find itself in sad shape without the spirited opposition provided by this group in intrasquad scrimmages and the supply of varsity caliber players which blossoms from experience gained on this squad. Each reserve is surely entitled to feel that he, 103 Leaping high into the air, Bob Larkin and Alan Schaeffer team up to tip,' the ball into the goal. RESERVE BASKETBALL SQUAD-M. Murphy, J.

When questioned about the outlook for this year's varsity tennis team, Mr. Hummon, veteran coach of this squad, smiles from ear to ear. He has good reason to so react, for at his disposal is literally more talent than he knows what to do with. Coach Humnion is quick to point out, however, that he is not complaining about this rather pleasant problem. A major source of Mr. Hummon's gay mood is a little S' 8 senior by the name of Joe Buzzy Pierce. The reason for this becomes clear when one considers that Buz is no less than the second best tennis player in the state of Ohio. If the affable little guy can duplicate his performance of last year, it will indeed be a pleasurable season for his coach. The greatest thing about our tennis squad is the fact that Buzzy is only one of several talented team members. Bill Brundige, Gary Ensor, Vail Miller, John Tuck, Ted Jones, and Pete Thomas are all experienced veterans with outstanding records. This season should number as one of the great ones in Oakwood tennis history. Veteran doubles man Bill Brundige prac tices his powerful serve VARSITY TENNIS1BGCk row: T. Goss, J. Tuck, J. Connell, B.

THE SPRINTERS ASSEMBLE-Alan Schaeffer, Andie White, Dick Heilig, Ken Stillwagon, Woody Wagner, Phil Newbold. The 1964Aedition of the Oakwood track squad appears to have an excellent chance of repeating its 'SWBL champion- ship performance of last year. All but one of last year's squad will be returning, and several promising sophomores will give the Jacks added strength. Muscular Jim Sweeterman will once again anchor the shot-put, while Rich Mandas will handle the discus. Pole vaulter Earl Reeder and broad jumper Ken Stillwagon are expected to continue their sterling performances in these fields. As far as running events are concerned, the 1964 edition of the Jacks should be loaded with talent. Both Armand Morin and Rob Craig will be strong contenders in distance events. The cross-country work which both have engaged in this year should stand them in good stead as far as their efforts in the spring are concerned. The sprints will be dominated by veterans Tim Cough- lin, Ken Stillwagon, Dick Heilig, Andie White, and Phil Newbold. Much of Oakwood's success in track is dependent upon the quality of our relay teams, and these are the primary men upon whom this responsibility falls. In the hurdling department, veteran jumpers Alan Schaeffer and Howard Neilson are expected to repeat last yearis great showings. One of the high points of the 1963 season Was the insti- gation of an Oakwood Invitational Track Meet held at our own stadium. Track men from four schools QOakwood, Troy, Xenia, and Trotwoodj competed for the numerous individual and team awards generously donated by the Oakwood Booster Association. That this experiment in invitational track at Oakwood was a definite success was the opinion of all concerned. The apex of the season was, of course, the winning of the Southwestern Buckeye League Track Meet. A concen- trated team effort accounted for a wide margin of victory over the closest contender. Particularly noteworthy per- formances were turned in by sprinter Tim Coughlin, pole vaulter Earl Reeder and hurdlers Howard Neilson and Alan Schaeffer. The Jacks celebrated the completion of an exceedingly successful season at the annual spring sports banquet. Dave Brungbaugh was honored as the most valuable player, and each letter-winner on the team received a silver charm in the shape of a track shoe as a memento of their participation on the championship squad.

The old pros-Steve Hayes and Jim Stuhlman engage in some spring training. Since basketball coach Earl Gardner is also coach of the golf team, the linksmen did their best to make 1964 a duo- championship year for their coach. They had an excellent chance to do just this because of the return of golfers Corky Wall, Sanford Stowe, and Hal Hoeland. All seasoned veterans, these three proved more than sufficient competition for any opponent. Golf is one of the few sports in which the coach does his coaching by playing right along with the team members. Many a young man has found, much to his chagrin, that Oakwood's golf coach can, when healthy, swing a nine iron with the best of them. He has, as a matter of fact, already won the coaches SWBL golf tournament. All told, this should prove a very enjoyable season for both the linksmen and their playing coach. VARSITY BASKETBALL MANAGERS-T. Barrows, B. Boyer, R. Arnold, H. Heck, D. Cunningham. Baseball Squad Looks This year's baseball team will be manned primarily by experienced veterans. This fact accounts for the optimistic forecast which titles this article. Previous letter Winners on the squad include pitchers Bill Keadey and Steve Maclntire, first basemen Jim Stuhlman and Mike Murphy, catcher Steve Hayes, and outfielder Scott Butcher. Because of the instigation of a Jr. High baseball program last year, the Varsity ought to also have a strong bench with which to back up the old pros on the team. All things considered, the 1964 Oakwood Baseball team should have a very fine season. To Successful Season The Oakwood High School Varsity O Association added 1964 to a long list of years of service to Oakwood by its athletes. This year, having recognized the importance of the International Olympic Games to fine athletes the world over, the Varsity O Club voted to donate a check for twenty- five dollars to the Olympic Fund. In the realm of annual activities, the club once again sponsored a fall dance-an affair highlighted by a disc jockey, The Tropics dance band, and folk singing by several of Oakwood's own varsity lettermen. A year end picnic in honor of the senior members of Varsity O brought to a close a very successful year for the club. Gregg, B. Lamar, F. Gage.

The Jill's display their strong defense in the Fairmont game. Sally Creager sends the ball up to the forward line. 'I'l2 Season Again in 1963, the Jills, both varsity and reserve, fin- ished with a season of seven wins and one tie, and the reserves had a season of eight wins and'no losses. The season was opened with a game at Jefferson. Be- cause the Jefferson team was inexperienced, the Jills gained an easy victory, the varsity and reserves both winning 6-0. The game at Northridge resulted in two more wins for the girls, 3-0 and 5-0, as they managed to uphold their unscored upon record. The season reached its peak with the first home game against Fairmont, the traditional rival. The excitement of the Northmont-Oakwood football game, which was the same week, helped promote spirit for the hockey game. As a result of posters and announcements, the game was unusually well attended. For the eighth year in a row, the varsity Jills and Dragonettes tied. In this game the varsity's unscored upon record was broken, as the score was 1-1. Although the girls were happy to have held their toughest opponent to a tie, the charm had been broken. Goalie Peggy Herrman symbolized the disappointment of the whole team as she trudged off the field with tears in her eyes. The re- serves came back with a hard fought 4-0 victory. The last four games, which were played against Wayne, Centerville, Lebanon and Wyoming of Cincinnati, were all victories for both teams. The varsity scores in these games respectively were 2-1, 1-0, 3-1, and 3-0. The reserve scores respectively were 1-0, 2-1, 3-0, and 4-0. The statistics for the season were that the varsity scored 24 points compared to their opponents' 33 the reserves scored 34 points to their opponents' 1. Such a successful season was a result of diligent practice and good coaching. Coaches Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Buck spent many hours drilling the girls and coaching the scrimmages between the varsity and reserve teams. Quite a rivalry de- veloped between the two teams in these scrimmages, as the reserves made a habit of beating the varsity. The lap-running, although not timed this year, was increased in amount and was as dreaded as ever. The annual hockey awards banquet concluded the sea- son. This banquet was attended by the coaches, team mem- bers, the senior players' mothers, and several members of the faculty. Mrs. Smith awarded letters to the girls. The high- scoring Jills were recognized. On the varsity, Barb Hendry was high scorer with seven goals, Ann Halstead was second with five points and Ann Murrell scored two points. On the reserve team, Marilyn Lawson was high scorer with ten goals, Susan Stansfield has eight goals to her credit. Paula Storms and Kathy Holmes both scored seven goals. The girls showed their appreciation to Mrs. Smith by giving her a skirt and blouse, and Mrs. Buck was given a purse. With only six players graduating, next year's team will have quite a few experienced girls returning. GIRLS, HOCKEY TEAM-Top row: G. Hess, S. Creager, J. Darrow, B Halliday, M. Barker, Mrs. Smith.

'II3 Girls' Tennis Team Has Successful Season In Carol Sisson practicing serves before an important match. Last year,s tennis team finished with the commendable record of 2-2-1. The girls worked long hours after school, practicing at Virginia Hollinger Tennis Club and the Oak- wood Y under the coaching of Miss Rebecca Strominger. Emphasis was placed on perfecting strokes and serves and de- veloping teamwork. Opponents of the Oakwood team were Middletown, Troy, and Indian Hill. Middletown proved our toughest com- petitor, as they have several girls on their team who have acquired national rankings. They beat us in both matches 5-0. The two matches with Troy resulted in one tie and one win for Oakwood. The Jills shut out Indian Hill 5-0. The junior high finished with an outstanding record of 5-2. Although five of last year's team have graduated, several former team members will be returning and skillful players will be coming up from the junior high. The combined ef- forts of these girls and the new coach, Mrs. Jane Smith, should keep the Oakwood tradition of fine tennis teams. Sande Bergen, Mary Barker, Barb Hall, and Carol Sisson-four returning team members. 3,15 Rs.-......-un-. .lf E!5aQ.ai..., Qi s rr ,Q Y Br , ,K 'Ka 3 s . 5,5 i -M sz. . ' if t .

GAA Launches Successful Proiects GAA, Girls Athletic Association, led by President Sarah Kirgis, launched several successful programs. GAA chartered two buses to take girls to an Ohio State football game at Columbus. Each member sold two Oakwood sweatshirts to earn money for the club. They sponsored the annual modern dance show in February. Enticing posters in the halls bearing the slogan Come watch the girls fluctuate lured many GAA OFF1cERs-Lynn Northwood, Sarah Kirgis, Ann Halsted, Paula Storms. First row: Cindy Karas, Lyn Landis, Margaret Kirgis. 'l'l7 'M curious students to the show. The year-long intramural program received enthusiastic support from all of the members. The annual spring banquet in the school cafeteria marked the close of the successful year. Awards were given to those girls who had accumulated 40 or more GAA points during the year.
