Three months intervened between final exam¬ inations last June and the first day of the new school year, but they were such activity-filled days for most of us that they passed quickly. Many of us had the opportunity to travel, but, although we scattered from Paris to Kyoto, there were still plenty of activities in our own community — Y open houses, summer reading lists, picnics, swim¬ ming, Shakespeare at Antioch, summer jobs, and, of course, summer school. Football practice under a blistering August sun was the prelude of organized activity that signi¬ fied the beginning of regular school life. After a night at the Y’s community social, schedule cards in hand, we returned to another nine months of classes at Oakwood High School. MISS HOLIDAY, Daryl Chase, was selected from a field of thirty-six entries and chosen to be the first Oakwood girl to reign over Kettering’s Holiday at Home festivities. MISUNDERSTANDINGS OVER a series of articles in the Dayton Daily News about Oakwood’s youth and the proposed family guide finally resulted in a student picket line on Schantz Avenue. 5 Variety of Experiences Makes 1965 Memorable MRS. BUCK’S daughter Kathy joined varsity cheer¬ leaders for the 1964 Homecoming game. SEMESTER EXAMS, the cause of many student headaches, were mimeo¬ graphed in the office by Miss Liesner. PEP-O-GRAMS WERE posted in the senior high hall for student signatures to show support for the football team. Variety is the prescribed remedy for the deadly virus of boredom, and happily this year was a year of contrasts: the heightened excitement of the football game with Northmont and the tedium of trying to do consistently acceptable work in a sub¬ ject where our talents are obviously absent, the sharp ecstacy of a letter of acceptance from a first- choice college and the feeling of knowing we really ruined an important test, the humid classrooms on the first day of school and later the below-zero temperatures that made us warm our hands over the toaster in the morning after facing an icy blast to bring in the Journal Herald, the whirr of power saws downing the trees on Far Hills and the al¬ most eerie hush of expectancy during the final awards assembly. PEERING THROUGH microscopes in the bilogy labora¬ tory, science students can study organic materials at close-range. FAR HILLS Avenue took on a new look this year; trees in front of the school were marked with yellow X’s, trimmed, sawed, and later removed completely to widen Oakwood’s main street. 7 Students Undertake Many Interesting Projects LINDA HUSSEY, Grace Gib¬ bons, and Jane Helsley were just several of the many stu¬ dents who dressed in native costume on JCOWA-sponsor- ed United Nations Day. MU OCT MR. GILBERT MARTIN and Mrs. Jane Miller helped co-ordinate youth activities at the YMCA. CRAIG LOUCKS and Karen Lin- grell are checking the growth of bean plants — a traditional biology project. 8 HOME ECONOMICS students planned a full-scale Thanksgiv¬ ing dinner and invited Roko Yamashita as guest of honor. TURNING DOWN plastic on a lathe, Jack Reeder and Doug Warner are preparing a mug and a bowl for the State Industrial Arts Exhibit in Columbus. MAKING UP the actors is just one of the jobs necessary for the successful production of a class play. Get involved in something!” advised the child psychologists, college admissions direc¬ tors, advice columnists, club officers, and com¬ munity leaders. And we did. We may have spent too much time passively entertaining ourselves with the antics of Dick Van Dyke, or we may have become a little too concerned with the shade of our carefully nurtured sun¬ tan; but this year Oakwood’s restless youth” did find an abundance of projects worth get¬ ting restless about. In the past twelve months we’ve developed an increasing awareness of our involvement in our world and, more di¬ rectly, in our own community. 9 with exacting laboratory experiments, their sen¬ ior science course required a great deal of in¬ dividual mathematics work. CATHY BUCHAN found that a couple of cups of coffee helped her keep awake for studying on nights with especially heavy assignments. 10 Academic Work Continues To Emphasize Excellence The mysterious ’ ' beep beep” of Sputnik I on its man¬ made orbit through space seven years ago dramatized the challenge of a new age, and the feverish discussions generated by the Russian production of this historic satellite pointed towards the value of excellence in Amer¬ ican education. Excellence” became the watchword of high schools across the nation, and today the word has gained great power. The challenge of change and the drive for excellence during the past year has brought a commendable result: teachers are working students harder, and most students are responding. ECONOMICALLY, POLITICALLY, militarily, ed¬ ucationally — Mr. Andrew’s’ world history stu¬ dents discussed important events from many view¬ points. ALTHOUGH NEW report cards were printed on many flimsy sheets of paper, they still had the same strong im¬ pact on students and their parents. CONTORTED OAKWOODITES did their post-game celebrating at the Y open houses. TELEPHONE HOUR,” complete with eight pastel Princess phones loaned by Ohio Bell, was one of the highlights of the senior prom entertainment. PREPARING, BAKING, and then sampling Christmas cookies were pre-holiday activities for home economics students. PLAY-BY-PLAY REPORTS during the football games came from the well-staffed press box. Fun Balances Out Long Hours of Studying But it wasn’t all work this year. Proms, the late movie, Beachcombers’ decorations, pep assem¬ blies, skiing, open houses, and football games bal¬ anced out a rigorous program of logarithms, push¬ ups, college interviews, Beowoulf, the Spanish- American War, and Latin declensions. Sometimes even our studies were amusing: the ludicrous rhythm of a thirty-member class chanting hie, haec, hoc, huius, huius, huius . . .” echoing from room number ten; the over-used privilege of com¬ plaining, especially after a surprise quiz; the in¬ formal get-togethers at the downtown library dur¬ ing research theme season; the dashing portrait of Lord Byron, whose heroic death resulted in sui¬ cides by over 100 adoring women; and the groans of senior math students when their instructor made a terrible pun on the word pi.’’ MOLLY HORNBECK moves her arms in a winging motion as she acts out The Birdman of Alcatraz during a game of charades in her beginning speech class. SMEARING ON plenty of dark make-up is an important part of the elaborate preparation for the annual Beachcomber’s Ball in honor of the graduating seniors. MAGGIE DALEY, escorted for the moment by a stuffed football uniform, enjoyed the festivities at the homecoming dance honoring senior Jacks. THE FLAG which flew at half - mast after Herbert Hoover’s death added a touch of solemnity to the high school landscape. 1 ' rr I3B08SS Numerous Unusual Events Make 1965 Unique Tradition, of course, has its place at Oakwood High School, but numerous unique events gave this year its special flavor. This was the year of road construction on Far Hills, the Johnson presi¬ dential landslide, the appearance of the family guide, the still smoldering civil rights issue, rampant Beatlemania, three-dimen¬ sional prom murals, and projected plans for improving Oakwood’s school system. NEW ROBES in time for the choral festival with Fairview were a hard- earned purchase for the high school choir. LONG FORMALS were the rule for the senior prom, and queen Sally Creager and king-congratulator Susan Stansfield were no exceptions. LOVE OF LIFE,” a noon-hour soap opera, provided entertainment for Sally Lytle and many other faithful viewers going home for lunch. STEVE COY and Dan Price, vocalists for Oakwood’s multi-titled rock and roll band, added live entertainment to post-game Y open houses. PIERCED EARS, Beatlemania, and sandals be¬ came evident at the high school this year. 15 SUMMER SCHOOL enrollment increased as more students found that an extra eight weeks in the classroom brought fall schedul¬ ing benefits. SAM-CHAN STANSFIELD, AFS sum¬ mer exchange student to Japan, and Roko Yamashita, Japanese ICY exchange stu¬ dent to the United States, discuss com¬ mon Oriental experiences. VARSITY CHEERLEADERS managed to keep up the spirit despite a disappointing upset loss to Northmont. 16 LANGUAGE CLASSES continued to utilize the excellent facilities of our language laboratory. Dr. Runkel Returns to OHS as Principal DR. JAMES A. RUNKEL—High School Principal; Senior Student Council Advisor; B.A. Marietta College, M.Ed. University of Arizona, Ph.D. Indiana University. MRS.

The school year began on September tenth with the return of Dr. James Runkel as principal. Mr. Christner assumed his former position as guidance director. Of special interest was the proposed remodeling and construction program for the school system. Changes will affect both grade schools and the high school. The Board of Education stressed that it is important that four basic programs be carried out: to maintain and extend the primary emphasis on high quality basic edu¬ cation for college preparation, to develop adequate pro¬ grams for those students who will not attend college, to maintain and extend the present program for slow learners, and to meet the special needs of students in the sixth, seventh, and eighth grades. Again this year extensive counseling was given to all students by the members of our guidance department: Miss Upton, Mr. Christner, Mr. Gardner, and Mr. Hummon. Acting as assistant principles were Mr. Hummon and Mr. McGowan. KENNETH W. CHRISTNER—- Guidance Director; B.A., M.Ed. University of Pittsburgh. EARL B.

English Offers Advanced Programs Our English department includes many different levels which allow a student to work within his ability. An extensive Advanced Placement program is begun in the sophomore year and offered to those students who have shown outstanding ability and interest. Grammar is stressed in the eighth year by scheduling separate classes for grammar and literature. In the senior year a student is offered his choice of two courses. English Literature includes a study of a survey of some of the greatest writings of different periods, grammar, composition, and vocabulary building, while Modern Literature introduces the newer aspects of English. The department seems to be ever-changing in respect to teachers. Four teachers are new. They are Miss Susan Brundige, Mrs. Patricia Pullo, Miss Barbara Rudy, and Miss Sally Westrick.

Oakwood is fortunate to have such an extensive language pro¬ gram. The eight foreign language teachers instruct students in French, German, Latin, Russian, and Spanish. The language laboratory is fully utilized to aid the students in improving their speaking and listening abilities in the language. To be able to converse in a foreign language is becoming increasing¬ ly important and is emphasized in the laboratory. Each student is able to hear himself talk and hear tapes in native voices. Audio¬ visual programs are being used to help students gain an increased understanding of both French and Spanish culture, literature, and grammar. This is the first year that French V has been offered. Seniors who took French I in the eighth grade are now completing their advanced program. It is hoped that this will prepare the students for more advanced college work. MRS. ELLEN KAY—French III, IV, V; B.A. Otterbein College. MRS. ELEANOR SCHAEFFER— MRS.

Students will use what they have learned in these classes at Oakwood to achieve higher goals. This year marked the first time students completed the five years of math courses in Oakwood’s new advanced program. Thirteen seniors, who be gan Algebra I in the eighth grade, participated in a college-level course. Under the careful guidance of Mr. Kindy, these students studied analytic geometry, which includes pre-calculus. The department welcomed the addition of Mrs. Mc- Cants as geometry, bookkeeping, and business arithmetic teacher. FUTURE PHYSICISTS Craig Neilsen and Dennis Kendig are preparing a solution to be used in one of their experiments. 25 Election Year Brings Added Interest to Civics Social studies brings to mind the thought of civics, economics, and Mr. Kuhns’s many interesting class dis¬ cussions. Early in the year seniors devoted a week to A Study of the U.S.S.R. and Communism. The national election was one of the highlights of the year and provided a chance for everyone to learn more about our electoral system. During the last weeks prior to the actual election, many faithful followers of each candidate decorated the room with pictures and banners. Mock elections were held on November 3 in the civics and World History classes. Each student was considered to be a qualified elector and eligible to vote. The results of these elections indicated that Mr. Goldwater should have triumphed over Mr. Johnson. CIVICS STUDENTS in campaign garb and signs for both candidates are all a part of election year.

Art Students Dabble in Many Fields Art students had chances to express themselves in three art classes regular, art special, and art appreciation. Miss Westrick helped to acquaint the seventh and eighth graders with new projects in a course which was a general survey of all art drawing, sculpture, painting, and clay work. Again this year many students learned to express themselves orally and broadened their knowledge of communication methods through participation in speech. Beginning with pre-school practices, the band worked diligently throughout the year in preparation for performances at football and basketball games, concerts, and community affairs. The lawn fete on May 25 marked the end of another industrious year. Music could be heard resounding from Mr. Uhl’s room as the many vocal groups practiced during the week. Preparation was made for the two concerts, contests, festivals, and other affairs in which the different vocal groups participated. D. GLEN UHL—Vocal Music; B.S. Ohio Northern University.

The more advanced girls studied family relationships while the first year students were instructed in home nursing and mother-baby care. Awards were given to the school winner of the Betty Crocker Homemaking Contest, and the Crisco award went to the most outstanding senior girl. Students taking mechanical drawing had a chance to do basic engineering work. They were able to use the blueprinting machine to make copies of their work. Practice was the key word to perfection in typing and stenog¬ raphy classes. Students had to work to become skillful in these use¬ ful and valuable subjects. Working with plastic, wood, metal and leather was fun for the industrial arts students and at the same time educational. Boys ended the year by submitting their finished projects to the Four Arts Exhibit to be judged. FIRST YEAR mechanical drawing students work diligently over their drawing boards. WELDING IS just one of the many skills that Dennis Leger and Fred Gage mastered in Mr. Cato’s industrial arts class. LEONARD C. CATO—Industrial Arts; Chess Club Advisor; B.S., M.A. Miami University.

The girls’ physical education program began in the fall with six weeks of field hockey. The next six weeks was devoted to improving the girls’ skills in volleyball. Later, juniors and seniors played table tennis and badminton while the others enjoyed their instruction in gymnastics. The second semester included basketball, modern dance, folk dance, and the spring sports of track, softball, and golf. A new sight in the gym this year was the blue uniforms which each girl was required to purchase and wear. Mr. Wysocki again conducted an intramural program in basketball in which many boys were active. Throughout the year the classes participated in a variety of sports. 29 MRS.

The Class of 1965, the largest class Oakwood has ever graduated, began its most challenging and memorable year with high hopes. New members of the class included foreign exchange students Alp Cagatay from Turkey and Tato Bosca from Spain. A disappointing football season due to numerous in¬ juries to senior Jacks didn’t dampen the senior spirit. The highlight of the season was the traditional home¬ coming celebration where Daryl Chase was crowned queen. Immediately after football, seniors began plans for their prom, Holiday Sleigh Ride.” Co-chairmen Sally Creager and Bob Bruce, with the help of most of the class, turned the girls’ gym into a snowy Christmas land¬ scape, complete with sleighs, hundreds of snowflakes, a huge evergreen wreath, and three-dimensional murals. Queen Sally Creager and King Gib Gibbons reigned over the prom which Mr. Kuhns, class advisor, described as the smoothest prom ever.” Three short days after the prom the much-needed Christmas vacation began. Seniors enjoyed the usual par¬ ties and the Fairmont Invitational Tournament in which Oakwood was second. For the first excursion of the new year, Mr. Kuhns took his civics classes to the courthouse where they toured the jails and observed a jury trial. The next two months were nearly all work and no play for most seniors. College Board tests and semester exams were followed by English research themes. The day research themes were handed in, otherwise known as Senior Grub Day,” gave seniors a chance to cele¬ brate the finish of their last big school project by wearing grubby, outlandish clothes. A welcome change from the grinding study program was the traditional Basketball Dance at the Y, which highlighted the basketball season. Soon after, the senior class presented its second comedy. The Man Who Came to Dinner , under the direction of Mr. Harness. Before long seniors welcomed spring vacation and anxiously awaited college acceptances, commencement, and the sen¬ ior party, which was held this year on a party boat on the Ohio River. At last, after final exams, baccalaureate, and a more sedate Senior Class Day, the Class of ’65 was graduated on June fifth. As each member of the class goes his separate way, he will carry fond memories and friend¬ ships which will never be forgotten. 33 Seniors JOHN ALEXANDER Baseball Manager 1; Boys’ Ensemble 1,2,3,4; Choir 1,2,3,4; Mixed Ensemble 3,4; Acorn, Boys ' Sports Editor 4; Hi-Y 2,3,4, Sec.-Treas. 4; JCOWA 3,4; Pen and Brush 1,2.

Besides the usual semester exams, daily quizzes and six-weeks tests, the juniors face the PSAT, the National Merit Scholarship Tests and their first round with the College Boards. Out¬ standing achievement in scholarship, leadership, character, and service earned fifteen juniors membership in the Oak Tree Chapter of the National Honor Society. The boys competed enthusiastically in football, cross¬ country, basketball, tennis and track. Marc Taylor was voted the Most Valuable Back by the coaches at the annual football banquet, and John Armbruster was named Most Valuable Player by radio stations WAVI and WING. Fred Gage set a new school record in cross-country and went to the state meet with John Shively. The girls also actively participated in sports. Forty-four percent of the girls’ varsity hockey team was comprised of juniors. Their skill and enthusiasm were main factors in the Jills un¬ defeated season. Cheerleaders Carole Fitzpatrick, Betsi Halliday, and Lyn Landis kept the students’ spirit high at all football and basketball games. Juniors took advantage of the many clubs and ac¬ tivities offered; GAA, Varsity O, NFL, Red Cross, JCOWA, Pen and Brush, Quill and Scroll, Choir, Glee Club, and the new Rifle Club. Although the class voted against a junior prom, their play Strange Boarders, and the tra¬ ditional Beachcombers’ farewell to the seniors still high¬ lighted the year. Japan sent Hiroko Yamashita, an ex¬ change student, to the Oakwood juniors for the year. Roko” learned how the American teenager spends his time, and the juniors in turn enjoyed learning about bamboo sprouts, chop sticks, sukiyaki, and many Japanese customs. Class Officers—Marty Erbaugh, president; Dan Stickel, vice-president; Janny Palmer, secretary; and Marilyn Law- son, treasurer, helped lead the class to a successful year.

After many heated debates, a mock election was held. Library papers, geometry proofs, and exams kept the sophomores working diligently the entire year. During the second semester Miss Upton met with the girls interested in college to explain the many facets of collegiate life. The sophomore class was ably represented in all sports. Reserve basketball cheerleaders Bitsy Carpenter, Janet Fanning, Maggie Daley, Marion Fox, Bonnie Murphy, and Sue Bacas introduced new cheers to the student body. Sophomores joined many clubs for the first year and were involved in many activities. The class worked to¬ gether by each selling twenty boxes of mints to make their first prom a success. Following tradition, many of them ordered their class rings in November.

The class officers were Peter Mitchell, president; Carol Lambert, vice-president; and Chuck Ford, secretary- treasurer. The freshman girls began junior Tri-Hi-Y in February and thus started the first of many service proj¬ ects. Some students took geometry as the second year of the advanced math program. The Junior Assemblies provided traditional activities for the class, and sports were also important throughout the year. Football captain Matt Schaeffer led the team of twenty-six members, and fifteen boys played on the basketball squad. In the spring many participated in baseball, tennis, or track. The freshman girls’ hockey team practiced and played during the fall under the coaching of Mrs. Ann Buck. New lockers in the basement of the senior high and the Y” were homes-away-from-home for many of the freshmen. Climaxing the year for the class was the fresh¬ man assembly with awards, skits, and the class will to entertain the junior high. The only regret some freshmen might have for next year could be the move back to the balcony during as¬ semblies in the auditorium.

Twenty-five boys were on the football team, which was headed by Jon Stout as captain, while fifteen played basketball. During the spring season the boys could go out for the track, baseball, or tennis teams. The eighth grade girls competed in intramural hockey, volley¬ ball, and basketball games; and Dena Michaelson, Kocki Welch, Ada Harrigan, Kathy Herbert, Susan Storms, and Lisa Dodds were cheerleaders for the eighth grade basket¬ ball and football teams. The officers of the class were Curtis Schaeffer, presi¬ dent; Kathy Herbert, vice-president; Kocki Welch, secre¬ tary; and Ann Wagner, treasurer. Algebra, French, Spanish, Special English, and Grammar were in the curriculum of many eighth graders who excelled in one or more of these subjects. The responsibilities that the eighth graders have learned to accept this year will certainly enable them to lead the junior high skillfully as freshmen. EIGHTH GRADE officers — Ann Wagner, treasurer; Curt Schaeffer, president; Kathy Herbert, vice-president; Kocki Welch, secretary. Active Seventh Graders Add Spirit to Junior High The seventh graders began the year amid much con¬ fusion, new activities, and difficult studies. They soon developed a keen enthusiasm for varsity football, basket¬ ball, and pep assemblies. Competition was stiff among intramural teams for both girls and boys. Several Y parties highlighted the year including a swimming party in December under the bubble” at the Dayton Country Club, followed by dinner at the Y. At the close of the school year, a panel of seventh graders went to both elementary schools to answer any questions the sixth graders might have concerning the high school and to help them be as well prepared as they themselves were during their first year at Oakwood.

OFFENSIVE BLOCKERS move out but play has already piled up. These 32 senior Jacks were on the 1964 squad. Many were key players and many others would have been except for injuries. Those sidelined with injuries were Mark and Steve Wentworth, Woody Wagner, and Doug Hall. Honors were awarded to Rich Mandas for SWBL All-League first offensive team and to Bob Larkin and Greg Jones for sec¬ ond string offensive team. Bob was also given honorable mention on the Greater Dayton Area team. Bob Coleman was named on the second string defensive team, and Gib Gibbons and Dave Prugh were given honorable mention. Woody Wagner and Andy White were honored as scholar- athletes by WONE-Cassano. VARSITY SQUAD — First Row: T. Scheldt, J. Armbruster, B. Larkin, B. Erbaugh, R. Shaffer, M. Taylor, J. See, J. Porter.

WOODY WAGNER, ahead of block¬ er Bob Bruce, heads down the field for scoring territory. 76 Record Shows Possibilities The 1964 football season was one of mixed emotions about the potential and ability of the Lumberjacks. The season record of 3-6 does not show the total picture. Oak- wood defeated the two top teams in the league, Tipp City and Trotwood, and lost to the bottom teams. Statistics concerning the season show the capabilities of the squad, which was rated as a top contender for the league championship before the season started. Marc Taylor and Andy White were the top gainers on the ground with over 400 yards apiece for the season. Marc was honored with a position on the first-string defensive all-league squad. Quarterback John Armbruster also gained honors. He was named player of the week by WAVI and WING radio stations and received honorable mention for all-league. John’s passes to Bob Larkin gave Bob the top scoring credit with 26 points. Taylor was next with 22 points. Armbruster had better than 30% passing com¬ pletions for the season with a total of 823 yards. The highlight of the season came in the game with Trotwood when the Jacks came from behind with only 54 seconds left and defeated the league leaders on a 94 yard pass play from Armbruster to Larkin and a key block by Bob Surdyk. Final score: 22-20. VARSITY SQUAD — First Row: C. Martin, B. Coleman, W. Wagner, D. Hall, A. White. Second Row: B. Surdyk, B. Powell, J. Zamsky, N. Thomas, J. Lau. Third Row: J. Lanpher, D. Engle, A.

Tom Rudwall scored the first touchdown made by a seventh grade team in three years, but the try for extra points failed, and Oakwood went down to defeat when West Milton came back to score a touchdown and make the extra point try, winning 8-6. Their season record was three ties and one loss. The Eighth Grade squad played hard ball and tried, but compiled a record of no wins and six losses. The freshmen players got off to a slow start by losing to Brookville, 12-7. They defeated Northridge in a spirited game by the score of 14-8 and rolled to an 8-0 victory over West Carrollton. The last home game against Trotwood proved a disappointment to the injury-riddled team. Starters Rick Nichols and Jack Reeder were unable to play because of injuries and the team went down to defeat by a score of 14-0. The final season record of two wins and three losses does not represent the effort made by this group. FRESHMEN — First Row: J. Frazier, J. Hayes, J. Eckert, S. Metcalfe, J. Gray, J. Reeder, J.

League Champions Gain Other Honors The Jacks were undefeated in league dual meets with Trotwood Madison, W. Carrollton, Northridge, Tipp, and Vandalia. The team also competed in four invitational meets placing second of 13 teams at Fairmont East, seventh of 22 at Chaminade, fifth of 26 at the Lowell Thomas Invitational and a tie for fifth of 13 at Fairview. The Jacks placed first out of 10 teams in the SWBL meet, giving Oakwood the championship for the second year in a row. Runners in the league meet were the top seven from each team in the league. Oakwood placed as follows: F. Gage, 2nd; J. Shively, 3rd; R. Cragg, 8th; B. Corwin, 9th; R. Tuverson, 16th; R. Karg, 17th; and B. Clegg, 19th. In the district meet the Jacks placed fourth and were eliminated from the state meet. Individual runners placed well with three in the top ten positions. Fred Gage placed 4th; John Shively, 6th; and Rob Craig, 10th. John and Fred both advanced to the state individual meet and placed 37th and 39th respectively. Congratulations went to Fred on his new school record of 9:58:5. MANAGER HOWARD Neilson and Coach Carr view the co-ordinated and organized squad of harriers during their warm-up exercises.

Seniors Dominate 1965 Varsity Basketball Squad AL HENNESS drives against Eaton. At the beginning of the season, seniors Scott Butcher, Bob Larkin, Rich Mandas, Mike Murphy, and Dan Price hoped to take top honors in the SWBL instead a shared position, which they had won a year ago. Underclassmen Dave Klum and Alan Henness added their efforts to the drive to win the league, but the combined desire and energy could not overcome powerful Tipp City; Oakwood won the undisputed second place with a 6-4 league record.

Alter gave Oakwood its first defeat in a startling upset, 53-43; Belmont defeated Oakwood 58-44 the next night. Rebounding after the first two losses, the Lumberjacks trounced the Colonel White Cougars, 77-70. Bob Larkin led the 61-54 victory against Brookville with 28 rebounds to set a new school record; however, top scorer Coleman dislocated his knee in this game and was out for three weeks. The Jacks defeated a rough West Carrollton squad 55-50 by sharp shooting and effective defensive work. In an overtime, Miamisburg finally overcame the Jacks, 70-65. We opened our defense of the Kettering Invi¬ tational Tournament by defeating Akron Central 65-64; In the second round we were defeated by an inspired Fairmont team, 89-66. 82 Varsity Totals 9-8 Record BOB COLEMAN controls the tip. BOB LARKIN shoots from the outside. Oakwood then came back to defeat Fairborn. Tipp City turned on their power and defeated Oakwood, 63-50. On the home court again, the Jacks overcame North- ridge. Oakwood then took second place in the league with a convincing defeat of Eaton, 63-46. In a very important league game, the Jacks won a close one over Vandalia, 79-75. The traditional rivalry with Northmont was enough to boost the Thunderbolts into smashing the Jacks. Returning home, Oakwood squeezed by Trotwood-Madi- son, 76-74 to guarantee the second-place standing behind Tipp City. Finishing in a disappointing manner, the Jacks lost to West Milton with a score of 61-55. In final statistics, Bob Larkin was the top scorer with 119 points and 215 rebounds. Bob Coleman was selected a one of the ten nominations for the All-League team; Dan Price, Rich Mandas, and Bob Larkin received honor¬ able mention.

Reserves Break Even The Reserves compiled a successful 7-7 season record. Their first game was a victory in overtime against Alter. Then they lost to Belmont 50-40. In two exciting games the Reserves defeated Colonel White 44-41 and Brookville 43-36. The Reserve Jacks then defeated West Carrollton 42-34. The loss to Miamisburg on their home court was not unexpected 53-35. The triumph over Fairborn 42-37 upped the season record to 5-2. A reverse for the rest of the season was evident as the squad won two and lost five. The losses were to Tipp City, Vandalia, Northmont, Trotwood, and West Milton. The victories were at Oakwood against Northridge and Eaton. The game against Trotwood proved to be the only defeat of the season on the Reserves’ home court. The Reserve squad which is junior-laden has shown the fans some very exciting games this year and next year’s Varsity followers can look forward to much of the same. Leaders in reserve play were Mike Keadey as top scorer, Marc Taylor, and Chris Clark, who led in rebounds. These players and returning Varsity players, A1 Henness and Dave Klum, will be the hopes for next year. FRESHMAN BASKETBALL —First Row: T. Connel, M. Kennedy, P. Mitchell, D. Mellinger, T. Gates, T.

Pete Thomas and Mark Stone went to the quarter finals of the district tournament in doubles at the con¬ clusion of the 1964 season and Ted Jones also reached the same round as our second singles entry. With the loss of Buzzy and four more seniors: Bill Brundige, Gary Ensor, Vail Miller, and Mark Stone, there are three remaining lettermen: seniors, Pete Thomas and Jim Tuck, and junior, Ted Jones. These veterans will play the top positions on the 1965 squad. The success of the ’65 season rests with these ex¬ perienced players plus new team members who will be moving up to fill the seven squad places with a deter¬ mination to equal the outstanding record of previous tennis teams under spirited Coach Hummon. PETE THOMAS follows through on his forehand shot. 85 ft™ 0 woo, VLETIC ?T. VARSITY TRACK TEAM — First Row: Surdyk, Neilson, White, Shively, Fourth Row: Dodds, Pfleger, T.

Coach Carr Feels Strong Senior Squad Will Remain Victorious Backed by a squad with seniors experienced in all events Coach Howard Carr predicts another SWBL victory! With a record of four out of five SWBL championships going into the 1965 season — more new records may be set. Andy White and Phil Newbold were members of the 880 relay team which went to the state track meet, qualify¬ ing by placing third in the district. These two in the sprints, Rich Mandas in the discus, plus Howard Nielson in the high hurdles, and Rob Craig and John Shively as distance men, should give the 1965 track squad another championship. Other Senior lettermen returning are Bob Larkin, Bob Surdyk, Gib Gibbons, Woody Wagner, Dave Prugh, and Rick Karg. HOWARD NEILSON and Andy White complete a fast hand-off. ROB CRAIG and John Shively lead the pack of milers. 86 Last Years Thin-clads Gained Top Honors RICH MANDAS completes another championship toss of the discus. Last season Jim Sweeterman placed first in the SWBL league meet with a shot put of 54 feet, 7 inches. The 880 relay team manned by two seniors, Steve Mclntire and Tim Coughlin, and two juniors, Andy White and Phil Newbold, broke both the league and the school record with a time of 1:31.6. Coughlin broke the meet record in his running of the 220 yard dash by .2 of a second with a time of 23.1. After two second place wins Oakwood looked for a victory in the third Oakwood Invitational Track Meet held at our stadium with Oakwood, Troy, Xenia, and Trotwood competing. This meet is attracting more interest and increased attendance by the student body each spring. Active support by the Oakwood Boosters Association in promoting the event and in contributing individual and team awards has added much to the success of this sports attraction. The Spring Sports Banquet on May 18, 1965, marked the completion of another action packed and victorious year for Oakwood’s thin-clads. The many awards pre¬ sented to the school testify to the abilities of our de¬ termined athletes. COACH CARR and his senior men grab for the league trophy again.

Senior Infield Returns for 1965 In 1964 under Coach Marty Armbruster the Oakwood team lost a tight game by one run in the semi-finals of the district tournament to the eventual winner, Chamin- ade. This 4-3 loss was a strong incentive for the senior infield to gain a championship in their final season. Six seniors departed in 1964, but a strong infield of experienced players returned for 1965, Coach Ed Bigelow could field Mike Murphy at first base, Dan Price at second, Doug Hall at shortstop, and Kirk Wiles on third. John Armbruster, Most Valuable Player for 1964”, was also on the squad looking for a starting position. Now in its third season, the Junior High baseball program will send along more experienced ball players to back up the varsity in its efforts to better last year’s mark.

Hal was medalist in the ’64 tournament and hopes to repeat as a senior. Coach Red Gardner continues to develop winning teams. Competitive spirit is keen because of challenge matches among team members vying for the four top positions on the Oakwood squad. In addition to Hoeland, letterman Tom Ports is assured of a berth, leaving two spots open to be filled by inter-squad play for the 1965 season. HAL HOELAND, number one man, tees off.

COACH SMITH and co-captains-Mary Barker and Sally Creager, discuss strategy for the night’s game. Harvey, the illustrious mascot, led the Jills into another undefeated season. After many afternoons of hard practice, the Varsity Jills proved their strength by attain¬ ing a final record of 6-0-2. The Reserve’s record was seven wins and one loss. The scores did not begin to show the great potential of the 1964 hockey team, which was well coached by Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Buck. The co-captains for the Varsity were Sally Creager and Mary Barker; Charlene Setzer and Kathy Holmes acted as Reserve co¬ captains. Not once was an exciting home game without spec¬ tators. Even the away games attracted many fans — especially at the Fairmont game where the faithful Oak- wood supporters out-numbered the Dragon rooters. The 1964 Hockey Banquet on December 3 ended the season.

The 1964 Jill’s tennis team for the second con¬ secutive year had a scoreboard rating of 6 wins, 2 losses. They were able to win all but the matches against Middletown by starting practices early in March, under the guidance of Mrs. Smith. Each member was sparked with enthusiasm and high spirits that lasted the entire season. The team consisted of ten players; two of them were substitutes. The members were constantly changing positions with each other, as a result of challenging matches for higher positions. SUE CONNELLY practices at the Oakwood Y courts for future matches. DOUBLES TEAM of Marilyn Lawson and Lyn Landis was victorious throughout the season. 94 Volleyball Team Co-ordinates Skills to Win Points VOLLEYBALL CAPTAINS and Managers — Mrs. Smith coach; S. Bergen and L. Fraim captains; S. Ewing, J. Beringer and K. Olson managers. The Jills started their volleyball practice in early November. With an early start, they were able to strengthen the teamwork and develop individual ability. Unfortunately they met their hardest oppon¬ ent in the first match, and consequently both varsity and reserve were defeated. The team had good spirit and ketp fighting throughout the season. The volley¬ ball season is exceptionally short as compared to other interscholastic sports, but the enthusiasm never weakened. The varsity finished their season by being victorious over Miamisburg, the only team fallen to last year. The reserve record was 3 wins, 1 loss. One-third of this years team was made up of seniors. The reserves were composed of sophomores, competing for their first time in interscholastic sports. The managers and captains did a fine job in leading and helping the team to make an enjoyable season. Mrs. Smith, the coach, was very pleased with the 1964 volleyball team. VOLLEYBALL VETERANS Martha Wagner, Carolyn Markey, and Kathy Giam- brone discuss their strategy before the game. GIRLS’ VOLLEYBALL TEAM — First Row: C. Karas, C. Markey, C. Boudette, G. Chubb, G.

Jumping Jills Shoot to Win The varsity basketball team began the year by soundly beating Lebanon 44-12. With this good beginning the veteran captains Sande Bergen, Barb Briner, and Paula Storms looked forward to a successful season. Both the varsity and reserve which was led by Karen Johnson played a total of nine games this year—more than any other year. Near the end of the season the Jills traveled to Cincinnati by bus to play Indian Hills. There were several changes in rules this year, including jump balls at the beginning of all quarters, and new rules concerning guard¬ ing, holding the ball for five seconds when being closely guarded, and most important — goal tending. Girls’ Athletic Association Promotes Intramural Program To promote participation in girls’ sports, develop sportsmanship, and establish a spirit of fellowship among all students are the purposes of the Girls’ Athletic As¬ sociation. This club is open to girls in the senior high; eleventh and twelfth grade girls must have earned twenty or more points in the previous year. These points are earned by participating in the many intramural sports which include hockey, volleyball, basketball, bowling, ping-pong, and badminton; playing on an interscholastic team; officiating a game; or being an officer. The officers—Sande Bergen, president; Gretchen Hess, intramural chairman; Wendy Talbott, secretary-treasurer; Kathy Fitchey, social chairman; and Ann Halsted, Charlene Setzer, and Jane Schaible, point chairmen — have or¬ ganized several activities under the leadership of the advisor, Mrs. Smith. In November sixty girls took the bus trip to Columbus to see the exciting Ohio State-North¬ western game which the Buckeyes won. This year’s money¬ making project was to sell lumberjack sweatshirts. The annual trip to Coney Island again proved to be lots of fun. In the spring a tea was held to initiate the fresh¬ men and present awards to upperclassmen. FRESHMAN HOCKEY TEAM — First Row: B.

' s I With their lively spirit, Oakwood cheerleaders led many football and basketball teams on to victory. The varsity’s new uniforms in the traditional navy blue and gold, added gaiety to the sidelines. The outfits, a little different this time, sported graduating numerals on one sleeve and a name and bars designating years of partici¬ pation on the other. The varsity football cheerleaders—Bev Murphy, captain; Doris Back, co-captain; Betsi Halliday; Barb Hall; Carole Fitzpatrick; and Mary Barker—showed great acrobatic ability by their skill in doing cartwheels, splits, and flips. Those on the basketball squad—Ronni Krumholtz, captain; Ann Halsted, co-captain; Pam Penny; Kathy Giambrone; Claudia Stanley; and Lyn Landis—sponsored a cheering contest to see which class could yell the loudest. Ronni also made up a new cheer, called Thunderation,” which was heartily accepted by the student body. Both squads worked long and hard practicing their cheers as well as giving out pep signs, painting posters, organizing caravans and pep assemblies, and generally add¬ ing spirit to Oakwood. These groups and all squads de¬ serve special recognition for a job well done. RESERVE BASKETBALL CHEERLEADERS — Back Row: Sue Bacas, Maggie Daley, Bitsy Carpenter, Mimi Fox.

Honor Society Initiates Noon Study Hall Throughout this year the National Honor Society, under the direction of Miss Page, worked diligently to improve itself and the school. Work began last summer with a planning meeting at Miss Page’s house. The school year program was opened with the initiation ceremony; Mr. Wayne D. Staley, president of the Duriron Company, was the club’s guest speaker for the assembly. At the Wednesday noon meetings important business was con¬ sidered, Tato Bosca was a guest speaker, and a panel dis¬ cussed colleges. During the Christmas season the annual tea for members and alumni was held at Andrew White’s house. N.H.S. initiated two very important projects this year. The first was a noon study hall program. Room 19 was kept open every noon for those people who wanted to work; monitors from N.H.S. were responsible for order in the room. Secondly, tutoring sessions for junior high students were begun. Every Wednesday four N.H.S. members were available to help students with math, science, grammar, and English.

Fourteen new members were inducted in the honorary journalism society. To become a member of this club one must be a junior or senior in the upper third of his class and be on the staff of the Acorn or Oak Leaf. Every other Wednesday noon the members met in Miss Crisman’s room. The officers elected were Dave Arnett, president; Dennis Kendig and Pete Thomas, program chairmen and Gretchen Hess, secretary. LESTER VLAHOS, editor of the monthly magazine at the Dayton Power and Light Co., was guest speaker at the Quill and Scroll banquet at Culp’s Cafeteria.

After being elected by their homerooms, the members of Student Council worked directly with the administra¬ tion to improve student-faculty relations and to solve problems and instigate new policies. The Senior Student Council, which met every Tuesday noon, worked diligently on several projects. Under the leadership of president Hal Hoeland, the members strengthened the hall-moni¬ toring system, the Student Court, a plan for uniform class elections, and a boys’ intramural basketball plan. The Council’s only money-making project was the successful Homecoming Dance which was headed by Council mem¬ bers Danny Price and Dart Messick. The other officers include Marc Taylor as vice-president; Susan Stansfield, secretary; and Dart Messick, treasurer. The Junior High Student Council elected Matt Schaef¬ fer as president; Curt Schaeffer, vice-president; and Nancy Martin, secretary-treasurer. The problems brought up be¬ fore the Council were those concerning conduct in the halls, locker rooms, and at athletic games, as well as the proposed teen canteen. The members well represented the students of the junior high.

Student Court Increases Jurisdiction This year’s Student Court took new strides to play an important role in student government. By working in close association with Dr. Runkel and the faculty, the judges and bailiffs were able to assume more responsibility. A wider range of cases was included under their juris¬ diction. The new procedure of holding court sessions be¬ fore school in the teachers’ cafeteria enabled the court to run on a more efficient basis. An assembly at the begin¬ ning of the year introduced the judges and bailiffs to the student body; a panel of the former and present court officials explained the court’s plans, and students were permitted to ask questions they had concerning the court. Applicants for the positions of judge and bailiff were screened by the Student Council and popularly elected by the student body.

Latin America Theme for JCOWA Study Activities for the Junior Council on World Affairs centered around the central theme of Latin America and its rising importance in international affairs. Highlight¬ ing the year for the club were the inter-school programs: the High School Institute held in the new Kennedy Memorial Union at the University of Dayton, the all¬ day Model General Assembly, the Smorgasbord Recog¬ nition Ceremony, and, of course, the annual study tour to Washington and New York in April. Oakwood’s JCOWA chapter provided discussion lead¬ ers for the Institute and later won honors for its out¬ standing United Nations Week program. The club also sponsored a progressive dinner for the Fairview and Meadowdale delegations before the evening session at UD. DRESSED IN U.N.

National Forensic League provides encouragement and incentive to enable students to become effective speakers and successful and influential citizens. To become a mem¬ ber one must earn twenty-five points from participation in contests and rank in the upper two-thirds of his class. Most Saturdays there are contests in neighboring cities; however some contests are held as far away as Cleveland and Toledo. The officers for the year were Dennis Kendig, presi¬ dent; Loughy Callahan, vice-president; Becky Holloway, secretary; John Beerbower, treasurer; and Becky Banks, historian. The speech squad, coached by Mr. Shearer, has done quite well and are in contention for the district in debate and some individual events.

Peter Graves, Gene Worth, Becky Holloway, Margaret Henkel, Carol Boudette, Melanie Hayes, and June Pinnell earned awards in individual events. NATIONAL FORENSIC LEAGUE OFFICERS — Becky Banks, historian; Dennis Kendig, president; Loughy Callahan, vice-presi¬ dent; John Beerbower, treasurer; and Becky Holloway, secretary — aimed for another impressive trophy from the districts tour¬ nament. Advanced Planning Characterizes Acorn” Staff ACORN STAFF — Barb Flail, Jack Alexander, and Gretchen Hess — mark photo enevolpes be¬ fore sending them to the publisher. Hard work and much advanced planning characterized the 1964-1965 Acorn staff. Plans were begun in the spring of 1964 with the selection of the cover for the yearbook and the choice of a new photographer and publishing company. During the summer under the direction of editor Ann Lambert, the staff drew up the dummy sheets and planned the pictures for the entire book. Thus, when the school year started, much of the time-consuming tech¬ nical work was completed. During the year the staff had more time to spend on the remaining tasks. An extra effort was made to write better copy this year, and Miss Crisman helped the group greatly in achieving this project. ACORN EDITOR Ann Lambert and photography editor Martha Haacke spent part of their summer in Ann’s backyard planning the 1965 Acorn. ACORN STAFF — Beth Hageman, Marilyn Lawson, Sally Creager, Judy Herbruck, Mary Olt, Mary Mitchell, and Betsi Halliday — prepare to start work on Acorn. i 108 Oak Leaf ” Campaigns Against Senior Exams OAK LEAF STAFF — Debby Probst, Carole Fitzpatrick, Beaver Boyer, Mary Jane Wharton, Sally Lytle — hurry to complete copy before deadline. To keep the readers informed about student opinion was the important job of the 1964-1965 Oak Leaf. Editors Susan Stansfield and Dave Arnett worked in close asso¬ ciation with Miss Crisman and the staff to produce a cohesive as well as varied paper. The staff centered one issue around the activities of the Montgomery County Tu¬ berculosis Association, informing the students of some of the symptoms of the disease. At the end of the first semes¬ ter, the Oak Leaf launched a campaign to eliminate final exams for seniors who maintained a certain grade average. The staff was busy with other outside activities. In 1964 Susan Stansfield won forty dollars and a tape- recorder for the school in the Dayton Power and Light Edison Contest. The group became charter members of the Miami Valley High School Press Association.

Girls Included in Chess Club Membership During the noon hour on Monday through Friday, the members of the Chess Club challenge each other to gain a higher place on the ladder so they may play in the in¬ terscholastic matches. This year’s team includes Mike Taylor, Steve Snyder, Derrick Stowe, Paul Flemming, Barb Palmer, Jim Wilson, Jim Billings, and Mark Erskine. The only requirement for membership is to pay the dollar dues — it is open to all students in grades seven through twelve, because recently a rule was passed to allow girls to join. The club elected Mike Taylor as president; Steve Snyder, vice-president; Paul Flemming, secretary; and Jim Billings, treasurer. Throughout the eight years that the club has been playing, the members have shown great ability. Mr. Cato, the advisor, has done a fine job of helping them. Each year the club enters the Greater Dayton Chess League Tournament and the Dayton Individual Play-off. Oakwood has taken the trophy every year since 1959, and they hope to bring another one home this year. The Chess Club de¬ serves a special recognition for this outstanding achieve¬ ment.

Red Cross Council, advised by Mrs. Russell, is trying to get the high school to take an interest in our city and the world where there are less fortunate people. Membership is open to any stu¬ dent in grades seven through twelve. Previously the members had to be elected from their home¬ rooms; however, it was changed to give more stu¬ dents a chance to belong. The council participated in many worthwhile projects led by the officers. Linda Delaplane, pres¬ ident; Kathy Fogt, vice-president; Mary Herron, secretary; Lorna Dunlop, treasurer; and Lucy Ber¬ gen, publicity. At Thanksgiving the group dec¬ orated the Veteran’s Administration Center. The big project was the building and filling of a chest to be sent overseas. The undertaking was success¬ ful and no doubt made several poor European fam¬ ilies very happy. p SENIOR PEN AND BRUSH — First Row: Peggy Hack, Cathy dall, Beverly Murphy.

Active members of the club must be in grades ten through twelve, be in an art class, and participate in the activities. Under the leadership of Mr. Carmichael and the officers — president, Cathy Buchan; vice-president, Pink Harlan; and secretary- treasurer, Grace Gibbons — the members worked hard, selling stationery, washing cars, and having bake sales. With the money from these, sixty students went on a day excursion to Toledo where they toured museums and a glass factory. The club, which meets Thursday at noon, is con¬ trolled by a Board of thirteen students. For a service project, members collected Halloween candy for the WING Walk for handicapped children. MAKING PLANS for a trip to Cincinnati was just one of the topics for discussion at weekly Pen and Brush meetings.

Linda Leads Majorettes Led by drum major Linda Taylor, the other majorettes — Kathy Giambrone, Debbie Aller, Kathy Walker, and Kathy Milne — performed with the Senior Band at the football games and the Lawn Fete. Diligent practice was necessary to perfect the various routines for each half-time ceremony. The pep band was present at all pep assemblies dur¬ ing the football and basketball seasons. Their spirited music helped the cheerleaders to encourage school spirit. This year the group learned several new fight cheers which they taught the student body at pep assemblies. During halftime at basketball games the pep band played spirited songs such as Sweet Georgia Brown. Special credit should be given to Mr. Walker, who always boosts school spirit.

Beginning with pre-school practice in late August, members of the band worked diligently in preparation for their numerous ap¬ pearances. The band provided half-time entertainment at eight football games and presented two concerts throughout the year. The band performed at the County Fair, D.P. L. Christmas concert, YMCA ice cream social and at other community events. The Band Parents’ As¬ sociation provided financial help for the band. Part of this year was devoted to preparation for the district and state contests. The busy year came to an end in late May when the band made its final appearance at the Lawn Fete. The senior high choir, under the direction of Mr. Uhl, had a busy year, making numerous performances at school and around the Dayton area. In October the group sang for the Western Ohio Teachers’ Association. The Christmas concert was especially successful as more money was taken in than in any previous year. Some of the ensembles gave a second holiday performance at the Dayton State Hospital. February brought a new addi¬ tion to the group’s busy schedule. The Oakwood choir joined with Fairview and a Columbus school to give a song Festival on Valentine’s Day at Fairview High School. The annual spring concert was held in April. The purchase of new choir robes highlighted the year. Eighty new robes were bought, and a change was made from the usual light blue to dark blue. r JLl w JHBHr .m JUNIOR HIGH BAND — First Row: L.

STAGEHANDS MARY Herron, Judy Eckert, Mike Riedmiller, Beaver Boyer, Wally MacGregor, Jack Porter, and Ricky Rupp prepare the scenery for the opening performance. Juniors Present Strange Boarders” in the Fall MAKE-UP CHAIRMAN Debby Dawson puts the finishing touches on Boston Bennie. STUDENT DIRECTOR Betsy Stansfield and Director Mr. Harness discuss the last-minute technicalities. On November 20 and 21 the juniors presented their first dramatic effort— Strange Boarders.” The play was di¬ rected by Mr. Donald Harness; Betsy Stansfield was the student director. The junior class play was given in the fall this year to enable the juniors to have more time for their other projects in the spring. The play, a comedy, was about the innocent owner of a boarding house who became involved with two gangsters pretending to be schoolteachers. The lead role of Cornelia was played by Kathy Holmes; the gangster schoolteachers were played by Cindy Karas and Carole Fitzpatrick. Ron Wietzel was the gang leader, Boston Bennie. Many students were also busy behind the scenes. To aid the actors were prompters Jane Schmeit and Mitsy Benham. Beaver Boyer was the stage manager, with Mary Herron in charge of props and Becky Holloway in charge of costumes. The make-up committee was headed by Deb¬ by Dawson; Betsi Halliday had the important job of publicity manager. JUNIOR CLASS Play cast — Mark Ohmer, Mike Fitzpatrick, Jed Skillman, Fred Dodds, Carol Bou- dette, John Wolfram, Ron Wietzel, Lyn Landis, Carole Fitzpatrick, Terry Czuba, Cindy Karas, Judy Vandenberg, Kathy Holmes, Susan Gowdy, Dick Yarger, and Mr. Harness—in costume for Strange Boarders.” 1 18 Pete Graves Stars As The Man Who Came to Dinner” MESALIA RESIDENTS flocked to ob¬ serve the town’s captive exhibit, Sheridan White- side. RONNI KRUMHOLTZ goes over her lines backstage with Dorothy Hannigan, Mark Linebaugh, and Mary Ann Mar¬ shall. The senior class play, The Man Who Came to Dinner, was presented on March 12 and 13 under the direction of Mr. Harness in the school auditorium. The play took place entirely in the home of the Stanley family of Mesalia, Ohio. The famous actor Sheridan Whiteside, played by Pete Graves, while on his way to a dinner engagement at the Stanley’s, slipped on their sidewalk and was forced to spend several weeks at their house. A stream of the dis¬ agreeable Mr. Whiteside’s guests threw the household into an uproar that involved the whole community. Pete Graves, as Whiteside, was confined to a wheel¬ chair for the entire play. His love-struck secretary Maggie Cutler was played by Ronni Krumholtz. Others in the cast were Margaret Henkel, Becky Banks, Gib Gibbons, Diane Schimmelman, Worth Bromacher, Alice Linx- weiler, Dale Rogers, Ken Casey, Jeff Hill, Debby Aller, Bob Surdyk, Rick Karg, Jim Deuser, Marilyn Norton, Chuck Martin, Dave Arnett, Pam Penny, and Mark Gilliland. Mark Linebaugh, for the second year, did a fine job as stage manager. Committee chairmen were Barb Schis- ler, Mary Ann Marshall, Kathy Giambrone, and Liz Kendall. Pinki Harlan, in charge of set decorations, did an especially fine job. Daryl Reigns Over Homecoming Festivities The halftime entertainment was the high point of the homecoming game against Vandalia-Butler. The court consisted of Doris Back, escorted by Steve Coy; Mary Barker, by Jeff Walters; Daryl Chase, by Scott Butcher; Barb Hall, by Hal Hoeland; and Ann Halsted, by Rob Craig. They rode in new Mustangs which were driven by Danny Price, Dave Arnett, Don Bridenbaugh, Dan Ostendorf, and Dennis Kendig. Ann Lambert presented the flowers, and Bill Powell kissed the queen, Daryl Chase. Ron Meyer’s band played in the gym, which was decorated with caricatures of all senior players made by Chuck Martin and Steve Coy, as well as football dum¬ mies, pep signs, and balloons. 1964 HOMECOMING QUEEN Daryl Chase FOOTBALL PLAYER Bill Powell bestows Daryl with the tra¬ ditional kiss. 1964 HOMECOMING COURT: Doris Back, Ann Halsted, Daryl Chase, Barb Hall, Mary Barker. 120 Ann and Scott Crowned as Basketball Royalty Reigning over the 1965 Basketball dance were King Scott Butcher and Queen Ann Halsted. This year for the first time the Basketball was not given after the last home game; the festivities this year were the focus of an entire evening at the dance from 8:30-11:30 at the Oakwood Y. Chairmen Howard Nielson, Marty Erbaugh, and Mimi Fox headed the planning of the event. Ann Stone and Lyn Landis were responsible for the decorations, which were red and pink balloons and crepe paper. Kay Bush headed the refreshment committee, and Mike Riedmiller headed the clean-up committee. Entertainment was provided by Loughy Callahan and Pete Graves, who teamed up to form a hilarious comedy team called the Sugar Bears.” 1965 BASKET BALL QUEEN Ann Halsted IF THE shoe fits, wear it. 1965 BASKETBALL COURT: Ann Lambert, Rich Mandas, er, Bob Larkin, Claudia Stanley, Bob Coleman, Pam Penny, Worth Brombacher, Mike Murphy, Ann Halsted, Scott Butch- Dan Price, Sande Bergen. 121 Sally and Gib Are Royalty of Holiday Sleigh Ride” The seniors truly made their last major effort a suc¬ cess. Their profit-making prom Holiday Sleigh Ride” was a festive seasonal affair that helped all who attended feel the spirit of the coming Christmas season. Co-chair¬ man Sally Creager and Bob Bruce worked extremely hard co-ordinating and coaxing the various committees. Class president Gib Gibbons masterminded the creation of the fifteen-foot wreath that twinkled in front of the bandstand with colored lights. A new type of deco¬ rations was introduced with the novelty three — dimen¬ sional murals; the walls were covered with gigantic Christmas bells, candles, and packages. The entertainment, which opened with the crowning of King Gib Gibbons and Queen Sally Creager, was a series of musical numbers. The class owes much to Mrs. Jean Hoeland, who did the choreography for the groups. SENIOR PROM Queen Sally Creager and King Gib Gibbons reigned over the gala affair from a decorated holiday sleigh. KATHY GIAMBRONE, Sharon Doerfert, Bev Murphy, and Caro¬ lyn Markey finish their dance number Steam Heat.” SENIOR PROM COURT —Hal Hoeland, Sande Bergen, Alp Cagatay, Ann Halsted, Woody Wagner, Pam Penny, Sally Creager, Gib Gibbons, Ann Lambert, Chuck Martin, Mary Barker, Tato Bosca—enjoy the entertain¬ ment performed in their honor. ■ SNOWFLAKES, EVERGREENS, and 3-D murals made Holiday Sleigh Ride one of Oakwood’s more spectacular proms. MASTER OF CEREMONIES Pete Graves had some difficulty announcing the royal couple when he accidentally set the announcement on fire. Sophomores Create Fishermen’s Wharf ” Fishermen’s Wharf” was the theme of the sophomore’s first prom, which was given in the spring. Class sponsor Mr. Andrews and co-chairmen Carey Brower and Tom Briner spent many hours planning the party. Some of their committee chairmen were Bonnie Murphy and Bob Ducker, murals; Elma Carey, refreshments; Molly Hobstettor and Doug West, walls; Patty Schumacher, ceiling and balcony. The murals featured boats and other characteristic waterfront scenes. The walls and ceiling were decorated with fish nets. The entertainment, which was planned by commit¬ tee chairmen Bitsy Carpenter and Steve Smith, was performed for the royalty. The prom court consisted of Kathy Fitchey, Wendy Talbott, Libby Frame, Carey Brower, Elma Carey, Chris Clark, Mike Simpson, Tim Larkin, Tom Briner, and Mike Keady.
