These four long years we have struggled together to reach the heights which we have at last attained. In September, 1917, we, a class of forty-five Jolly Freshmen entered the doors of Oakwood Township High School with ever gleaming hope and high ambitions. As we passed into the Sophomore and Junior years, our loyalty to ourselves, our community and our school broadened, making us realize the help and advantages extended to us and increased our desire to do the best of our ability in return. With the onward advancements of the class, a number of our students have passed out, some into other schools and communities, some into various other fields of work, while our highly respected and much admired student, Mr. Ualbey, passed away during the summer of 1921, leaving our pi'esent Senior class with an enrollment of seventeen. We met in September of this year and with the aid of our principal, started the year out right by electing the following officers: President, Harry Smith; Vice-President, Bernice Redman; secretary, Oscar Michael; Treasurer, Charles Rebman. Later in the year the class chose twelve of its members as the Acorn Staff. We have presented two plays. The Junior Play, “Esmeralda,” was given in March, 1921, the greater part of the proceeds being used to give the Junior-Senior Banquet. The following Senior Play was presented in December of this year. RUTH IN A RUSH Cast of Characters Mrs. Brownell......... Juliet Raymond ....... Ruth MacDonald Moore Susie ................
