JUNIOR CLASS President...........................Hal Longnecker Vice-president......................Oscar Vinson Secretary...........................Paul Spencer Treasurer...........................Arthur Condon We contributed one stunt to the annual Stunt Show, given by the Senior Class early in October. Although our “Morning Assembly” failed to win a prize we enjoyed giving it. Everyone had a part to play and the majority of the characters depicted were members of the graduating class, apologies go to the Hoys, the poor unfortunates who were forced to don female attire and imitate the actions and capers of some senior girls. Payc Twenty-two CAST Floy Hooker.....................Margaret Snider Mrs. Hooker.....................Louise Gutteridge Mr. Hooker......................Arthur Condon Letitia Brown...................Mildred Hunter Jack Crandall...................Bob Meade 'fed Stone...............................Gordon Cromwell Steve Hooker.............................Cramer Cawthon Alosius Bartholomew.............Hal Longnecker The annual class play, Hurry, Hurry, Hurry,” a three act comedy was presented in the auditorium on the evenings of Nov. 22 and 23. “Hurry, Hurry, Hurry” is a rollicking farce comedy based on the romance of Floy, a young society debutante, and Jack her cowboy-author sweetheart. Obstinacy almost ruins the affair, but interest and suspense are created by a maiden aunt’s will to the effect that Floy must be engaged by midnight of a certain day or loose a vast fortune. Mr. Hooker, Floy’s father, goes bankrupt and Alosius Bartholomew, a superstitious and highly humorous college professor, withdraws his suit for Floy’s hand just in time to make her realize that Jack’s love is the real thing. Steve, a young brother of Floy serves as a typical collegiate model in the play. He and his rotund friend, Ted Stone, Football hero, add no small bit of fun to the story along with Letitia Brown the flirtatious little debutante. Miss Berniece Campbell worked patiently as our director and she deserves a great deal of credit for our success. P(ujc Twenty-three Page Twenty-four A cTInderclassmen Top Row— Bridgman, Lang.

SOPHOMORE CLASS We, the class of 32 having ridden in the O.T.H.S. airplane for nine months as Freshmen and then spending a three months vacation, again climbed into the plane, (tri-motor, we think) with forty-two passengers in September, 1929. We elected the following to man our plane; Marjorie Harden—President; Willa M. Izzard—Vice-president; Waverly Pinegar—Secretary; and Guy Smith—Treasurer, with Mr. Xewtson as the pilot. The pilot hailed the Freshman plane on September 13. and we came down for an initiation of the “Freshies.” We dew steadily through the first six weeks then we came down for an examination of our engine. After this our flight was continuous until we arrived at the village of Thanksgiving. Here we had a grand time refueling. From this village we could see the faint colored lights of a large city which we soon discovered as the Xmas city. We landed here and spent nearly two weeks with our gifts. Our next flight began in 1930 with 36 passengers, four had reached their destination. This hop was a little worrisome to all for we were going to land in about two weeks for an absolutely thorough examination. P� ut most everyone was able to continue the flight in the same course.

SCIENCE CLUB President...........................Ethel Dalbey Vice-president......................Haven Oakwood Secretary and Treasurer.............Everette Baker A small group of the members of the Science Club met in September and elected their officers and a general committee consisting of Cecile an Allen, Leo Knight and Florence Esworthy. The Club was organized by the students who had taken or were taking the second year of science and the purpose was to further the interest in the subject. For entertainment and introduction of new members into the association a weiner roast was given in October. The club sponsored an assembly program when Mr. Vertrees. our adivsor, performed an experiment on breaking up light waves. Page Twenty nine p. ' -J “ (1 ( mftyzTfh f -' Top Row—Brown.

BOOSTER’S CLUB The aim of The Booster’s Club is to develop a better school spirit and encourage enthusiasm for our athletic events, among the students. We have .managed to follow this aim and we feel as though we have been very successful. Although we have not gained fame through our athletics, we have at least succeeded in establishing a great amount of “pep.” Page Thirty-one Top Rote Canaday, Smith, M. Meade, O. Warner, Dalbey, K.

During the past year several boys bought some pigs from Mr. Carrington at Side]]. This was a successful enterprise both from an educational and financial standpoint. East year the grain and live stock judging contests were held here. Our boys made a good showing in these contests, for the school placed third out of a total of fifteen schools. We will again take part in these contests this year. Our club stresses the social development of our students too. In October the club had its annual party at which time we invited the new members.

The following persons from Girls’ Glee Club had speaking parts: Ethel Dalbey, Alice Alberts, and Cecile VanAllen. Mr. Pierce directed the music and Miss Roller the dramatics.

The beginners class is composed of seventeen people. Armstrong gave the orchestra an invitation to attend their operetta, “Carrie Comes to College.” The Armstrong orchestra played at our operetta “Tulip Time.” On January 15, Professor Berg came with Mr. Pierce and gave a very interesting demonstration of the fidellette, an instrument which is substituted for the violin. This instrument is true to tone and fingering. It is much cheaper than a good violin and much better to use than a cheap one. This year the orchestra is planning to enter the District Contest of the county and also the Sub-District contest of the state, with the hopes of entering the State District contest.

Several new members joined us. We sponsored both the football and basketball contests with great success. A new idea of advertising our basketball games by posters was proposed by P. E. Anderson and was fully carried out. The Athletic Association also sponsored the selling of season tickets for our basketball games which was duly carried out. Page Thirty-nine P. E. ANDERSON Early in September of 1927, Mr. Anderson came to Oakwood High to become our football coach. Three long seasons has he spent trying to put Oakwood on the map. Many boys have acquired nicknames from “Andy” as he is known to the boys. He always stood by the fellows trying to improve his recruits, if they lost or won. The say.ing, “Something cannot be made from nothing,” will perhaps account for our defeats in the past few years. “CAPTAIN” ARTHUR CONDON Captain Condon is a small boy with lots of pep, who turned out this season to make the team go through. Arthur only played in a few games because he had a sick spell which laid him up for many weeks during the football season, but in those few he showed the spirit which he had. During the practice, every evening Arthur came out to see them practice and boosted them along. Arthur was a Junior, and will be back next year with more fight than ever. We hope that his successor, Roy- Stuebe will be able to lead his team to victory many times this year. Pape Forty football, at which time he distributed the suits and told us to report next evening for practice. The next night we went through many drills learning the hardship of our fall practice. After many nights of practicing Coach Anderson's plays, we were prepared for a game, even though our team was not very large. Our first game was scheduled with Homer on Sept. 21. The Oakwood team seemed to be a bit afraid of Homer’s large team but after a talk from the coach, the team went into the game to fight. The first kick oft was received by Oakwood, and the Homer team made their first touch down. Oakwood was unable to score in the Homer game. Our defeat was 21 to 0. The second game played Sept. 27, was at Fairmount. The game was a hard fought battle with a loss to Fairmount, their first points were made by our man blocking a punt on our own goal line and they succeeded in recovering it to score their touch down for Fairmount. The game ended with a score of 3 to 0. Fair-mount’s victory. The game played with Ridgefarm was played on Saturday morning, Oct. 5, so the the students could go to the Illinois-Kansas game. The Ridgefarm game was a surprise to the town folks because we won. We beat Ridgefarm 20 to 0. The Home Economics class served a dinner to all the boys on the teams which made the defeat for Ridgefarm a little easier and the victory for Oakwood better. The game with Sidell on October 12 was a game which the Oakwood boys should have won. They held them the first quarter. Then one of the Sidell boys broke loose for a touch down which made our boys down-hearted. Sidell beat us 28 to 0. It wasn’t a very evenly matched game but it had great excitement, because Sidell thought they couldn’t defeat Oakwood. Rossville came to Oakwood on October 19. The Rossville boys out-weighed the Oakwood team but that doesn’t always count in a football game. Rossville defeated us 13 to 2, by a hard fought battle. The following week Oakwood journeyed to Catlin. The boys had the spirit to win in this game, the score being 0 to 0 at the end of the half. Leo Knight played his first game and proved successful. The boys weakened the last half and the Catlin boys scored two touch downs. The game ended with a 13 to 0 victory for Catlin. The last game for Oakwood was with Indianola, when we were beaten 20 to 7. The first two touchdowns were scored the second quarter. Then Oakwood completed a pass to Walter Thompson in which he ran for a touch down just before the game was over. And that ended Oakwood’s football for the vear of 1929-1930. This is the last year for Leo Knight, Walter Thompson and Harold Thompson for football.

Thompson Oscar Vinson Keith Youmans Faye Forty-three BALLAD Egbert was a bashful lad Who never skipped a class: His Byron and his Chaucer had Ne’er won for him a lass. Sweet Mary Brown was Egbert’s choice. He got from her disdain; He sang for her in squeaky voice, Alas! It was in vain. A hundred yards for Mary Brown Of poetry he wrote; Loves’ labor lost—she threw him down He surely was a goat. “A football hero tried and true Would win my heart,” said she. Egbert replied, “I’ll play for you, How proud of me you’ll be!” Now Egbert was a skinny lad. No player it would seem— Yet Mary’s words had made him sad. “I’ll Hunk—or make the team !” Up to the coach lie strolled that night With palpitating heart— “I think that I should make the team, At numbers I am smart.” The coach gazed down with meaning look, “Take off those specs,” said he “You don’t learn football from a book, You’ll have to work for me!” Egbert could not walk home that night, So stiff and sore was he, For he had played with all his might— A sorry sight to see. At practice he was somewhat dumb, He could not learn the game. The player said he was a bum, He kept on just the same. (Continued on Page 50) Page Forty-four BASKETBALL Basketball practice began about a week after the Football season ended. There were thirty boys out for basketball, some of whom were out for their first year. Our first game was played with Catlin. The boys showed very good defense but they couldn’t hit the basket. The following games were played during the season: Catlin 23 ....There Potomac 21 Oakwood... .14.... ....Here Ridgefarm 25 Oakwood—. 9.... ...There Catlin 21 Oakwood....12.... ....Here Fairmount 31 ()akwood....l4... ....There Sidell 10 — Here Sidell 28 Oakwood....22.... —There Armstrong 26 Oakwood.... 13.... ....There Bismarck 14 (Xakwood—10... .. .Here Armstrong 31 Oakwood.... 13.... ...There Potomac 40 ....There Bismarck 11 .. .There Ridgefarm. 12 Oakwood.... 14 .

The boys were a bit downhearted for they had not won a game up to the Tournament. When the boys entered the large Georgetown floor, they had the determination to win. Through Jasper Musson’s clever shooting and the team work the boys took home their first victory. The Oakwood boys’ jump in a large lead at the beginning in which they held through the game. The game ended a 17 to 14 victory for Oakwood. The following evening Oakwood encountered Sidell, the boys played hard but due to the strength of the Sidell team, the boys lost 29 to 13. Pai c Forty-five COACH VERTREES Our coach. Mr. Vertrees, has coached us diligently through the basketball season during which time the teams have played some bad basketball and some fairly good. He took victory and defeat the same way always pushing harder and harder as the days went by. The student body and the members of the basketball squad will always remember him for his patience and loyal support during the past year. The school as a whole wishes him the best of luck and success whenever he leaves this school to fill a better position. CAPTAIN WALTER THOMPSON Walter is quite a moving boy and during his experience in Basketball he earned the position as Captain. Walter helped the boys to win the games this year, for he had a good eye for the basket and strong on shooting. He worked hard and always ran as fast as he could. This is Walter’s last year of Athletics in High School and we hope he turns out to be successful at his next school, the boys hate to see him leave. Page Forty-six In Sidell Tournament Oakwood played YVestville for their first game but they were beaten 30 to 10. The boys had a hard time with “the Miners.” The losers played, and Oakwood played Indianola, whom they defeated 24 to 18. That was the second victory against Indianola. Oakwood then played Fairmount for third place, but we were unable to conquer this game and that gave us fourth place in the Sidell tournament. DISTRICT TOURNAMENT The District Tournament was played at Westville. The drawings were made a few days before the date to be played, and Oakwood drew Fairmount, Fair-mount had beaten Oakwood three times. In the tournament we changed our luck by beating them 19 to 17 and after a night’s rest we played Danville our second game of the Tournament. The boys played one of their best games of the year in which they held Danville to a standstill until the end of the third quarter, the score was 8 to 8 at the end of the half, but at the close of the game it stood 17 to 11 for Danville.

At the annual Stunt Show which was given October 4 and 5, the Girls Athletic Association won first place, a loving cup. Our success was due to the untiring efforts of our advisor. Miss Roller. We gave a banquet for the football boys at the end of the football season and one for the basket ball boys at the latter part of March. (Continued from Page 26.) YVe had other passengers besides the studious ones for some were athletes and some were musicians. A forced landing was necessary many times during the year because of the Stunt Show, the Operetta, Literary Programs, and such. But we hope to continue our flight until we reach Success Port in June, 1932. BALLAD (Continued from Page 44.) At last the biggest game arrived— A great sight to be seen And Egbert’s hopes again revived, For he had made the team. But when the players were lined up Our hero lost his “class,” He got his signals all mixed up. And ducked a forward pass. The team was boiling mad with rage But Egbert grabbed the ball. With all the players after him It was no time to stall. ’Way down the football field he tore, Like Hermes gone astray. For Egbert made the only score. And thus he saved the day. The crowd began to cheer like mad, Our Egbert won renoun, But no one knew this studious lad Had won for Mary Brown. —Dorothy Gcstin. Payc Fifty CALENDAR SEPTEMBER Hello, everybody!
