For the Stunt Show, we worked out and presented a stunt which we called “Jack and the Beanstalk.” On December twentieth the Seniors gave a Christmas party in our honor. As has been the custom for a number of years, we honored the Seniors at a banquet on the twenty-third of May. The guests were members of the two classes and members of the High School faculty. We transformed the assembly room into a patio of old Spain with balconies, fountains, pools, and wrought iron gates. The color scheme of blue and yellow was used throughout. This delightful event a fiiting conclusion for a whole year of happy activities. - ■ Page Twenty? f v Junior Play CAST Katherine Henderson...........................Virginia Dysert Frederick Henderson...........................Robert Mason Mrs. H iggins.................................Ruth Chitwood Obadiah Stump.................................VVaverly Pinegar Frances Whittaker.............................Esther Him.

'I he action of the play took place in the old fashioned boarding house owned by Mrs. Wiggins. Mrs. Wiggins’ chief pastime was to order about Obadiah, a slightly ignorant youth from the country. Mrs. Wiggins and Obadiah furnished laughter continuously throughout the entire play. Mr. and Mrs. Henderson and Jean are doomed to remain for a whole day in this wretched house awaiting the arrival of lean’s fiance, Marston Bobbs, who is delayed because of his affection for a movie star, Celesta Vanderpool. He sends his cousin, Robert Bobbs, a wealthy youth, to explain things to Jean. Marston Bobbs gets his letters to Celesta and Jean, in the wrong envelopes, which causes much commotion. Upon the arrival of Celesta and her maid, Julie, Marston choses Celesta as the one he loves best, leaving Jean, the wealthy Dela ware peach, for Robert Bobbs, who proves after all not to be so bashful. —- Page Twenty-five 'V « d Use ' -?

Bunco and dancing were the main diversions of the evening. Delicious refreshments were served. On December 23rd the Foods Class gave a Christmas tea for the Faculty. A beautiful Christmas tree gave the proper Yuletide spirit. From the ninth to twentieth of February, the foods class served hot lunches to the students and faculty.

The members of the Club were given the opportunity of attending the International Stock Show at Chicago. One crisp morning about four o’clock, nineteen boys accompanied by the fathers of sixteen of them piled into the largest school bus and started for the Windy City. The day was spent profitably and the trip was an interesting one for the boys. Fa tic Thirlysix Fall Fair The Fall I'air sponsored by the Oakwood Agriculture Club was held Sept. 11. 1930. The purpose of this fair was to give the boys an opportunity to exhibit the livestock produced in their home practice project. From the standpoint of quality and fitness of livestock shown, this year’s fair can be classed as one of the most successful ever held here. The boys showed they had acquired a high degree of feeding skill and showmanship as their animals were brought into the ring. Prizes were given in five classes of livestock: beef, dairy, swine, poultry, and sheep. The beef class, which was made up of Hereford fat steers, was perhaps the most sensational and the one in which the most competition was found. Ralph 1 )uke won both the first and second and repeated the same feat in the county fair two days later. The swine show was very good from the standpoint of both numbers and quality of animals shown. Roy Long won the best sow, any age class; Hubert Seymour the fat barrow class, and Kenneth Seymour the gilt class. Gene Allison won the ewe lamb class with a well grown Shropshire spring lamb. The poultry show was large and attractive with many exhibits of several different breeds. An all-day program, starting with a farmer’s judging contest in the morning and closing with a band concert and a picnic supper in the evening was greatly-enjoyed by the patrons.

Games were enjoyed by everyone and refreshments were served. The Pioneers are maintaining their lead in the literary contests and their chance for victory seems excellent.

Boys’ Glee Club At the annual Kail Frolic and Stunt Show’ the Boys’ Glee Club won first place with “The Broadcaster’s Disappointment.” The ladies in the square dance received their full share of applause. In the musical contests held in the Spring the boys did very well. At the sub-district contest they placed third and carried off first honor at the county preliminary at Westville. Their selections were: “Who W ill Come to the Sea With Me”............Forshaw “Massa Dear”....................................Dvorak Waverly Pinegar, our tenor representative, won third place in both meets with his selections: “Lilies of Lorraine”............................Conner “Bird With a Broken Wing”.......................Colson The mixed chorus entered both contests with the following selections: “Spring is Here With Joy and Song”...............

Awake!”................................Cad man JDm, _ , Faye Forty-one Instrumental Group In this group are found the many students who are taking lessons on some sort of musical instrument, it includes a number of beginners, many of whom are manifesting some musical talent. From this group Mr. Pierce has selected material for a band and orchestra of twenty-eight pieces each. The orchestra entered both the sub-district contest at Rantoul and the county preliminary contest at Westville. Their selections were “ I lie forge Master,” and '‘Homeless.” Although a good showing was made, they did not take first place. The band was conceded the first place at Westville as it was the only one entered. Roth band and orchestra entered the county finals at Rankin. 1 he orchestra has gladly given its services at the school plays, operettas and stunt shows. Fai e Forty two Clown Band At the Hallowe’en celebration held in Danville this group of comic looking students represented Oak wood High School. Many comments were made on the performance of the band under the excellent direction of .Mr. E. L. Pierce, music supervisor of the school. Master Junior Pierce, who acted as mascot and played the snare drum during the parade, attracted the attention of the by-standers. One was heard to remark: “See the little fellow keep time; they surely start them young at Oakwood High.” The band brought home the bacon by winning a prize, which was one of many given to the different groups in costume. The school busses furnished the transportation to and from the celebration. -1 BELLE OF BAGDAD'' The “Belle of Bagdad,” presented by the music department on the evenings of January sixteenth and seventeenth, and directed by Mr. Pierce and Miss Roller proved to be one of the most successful operettas ever given by the school. The scenes, laid in the market place of the famed city of Bagdad, provided opportunities for the display of rich color and Eastern splendor. Native dancers added a realistic touch to the oriental court of Hassan El Carib while the chorus of American boys and girls ably supported Mrs. McCann, the American consul. The antics of the two mechanics, employed by a Hollywood firm to locate a lovely girl known only as the Belle of Bagdad, their arrest and successful detective work furnished the audience with some breezy comedy. Henrietta Whipslich, a romantic spinster, in search of a husband, and Archie Fitzgibbons who refuses to serve in that role, delighted the listeners by their wit and clever lines. The success of this production was due in no small part to the untiring efforts of the following cast: Mrs. J. Horace McCann, American Consul....................................Ouvk Shkkve Fisa McCann, her daughter................................................Alma McClain Anna Blackwell, a friend of Elsa..........................................Esther Hill Archie Fitzgibbons, from dear old London.............................Hal Longenecker Zelinda, a dancer.......................................................

Paul Spencer Bill Blake, his friend and companion.............................................Clyde Hendricks Henrietta Whipstich, a romantic spinster.......................................Juanita McAlister Pick Taylor, from the Super-Supreme Film Co.............................Haven Oakwood Page Forty four A tbleti COACH DUNN This was Mr. Dunn’s first season as Director of Athletics at O. '1'. H. S. Under his guidance the Purple athletic teams enjoyed a most successful year, the football team finish-ing third in the Little Eight Conference and the uet-ters showing great improvement over last season. The fact, that with green material he was able to accomplish these things, speaks well for his ability as an athletic instructor. May he continue to turn out winning teams at O. I. H. S. for many years to come. CAPTAIN STUEBE No one deserves more credit for the good showing of the team this year than does Captain Roy Stuebe. Besides playing a vital part in the Oakwood offensive and defensive play, Roy was a colorful and successful leader. His encouraging speeches to his teammates during the progress of the games inspired them and kept them always on the alert. He knew football well and played accordingly. He ranks with some of the greatest gridders ever developed here and there’s going to be a big gap in the left side of the line when he leaves. Tt’s going to be mighty hard to find a player who can fill the position as “Swede” has filled it during the last three years. Faye Forty seven FOOTBALL When the first call for football candidates was issued, the prospects for a more than average team were far from bright. Oak wood was confronted with a mighty tough schedule and of the sixteen lettermen of the previous season nine were missing. Only four of the seven available lettermen had been regulars in 1929. Coach Dunn, in his first season as the Purple mentor, was faced with the difficult task of fashioning a successful grid machine out of green material. Many of the boys on his squad had never before worn the padded mole-skins and some had never passed nor kicked a football. Fully aware of the task before him the new coach started early to round out a formidable outfit. A large squad reported the first night of practice and the first few days were spent in carefully explaining the fundamentals of the game and arousing interest among the boys. After these instructive lessons practice was then started in earnest. For days and weeks the new mentor and his inexperienced squad labored in the heat of the September sun. There were also numerous injuries to hamper their progress but they kept on. The week before the opening game the boys were getting into form and all the gridders, even the lowly Freshmen, were cavorting like veterans. The student body waited patiently for the opening game with Homer, wondering just what Captain Stuebe and his mates would do. Fa jc Forty-eiyht OAK WOOD, 19; HOMER, 0. The Purple gridders opened the season on foreign soil at Homer on September 20. Although outweighed Oakwood was never outfought. They played the heavier Homer team off their feet, with their off-tackle slants and sweeping end runs. The result was a well earned 19-0 victory for the proteges of Coach Dunn. Oscar Vinson played a remarkable game in the line and “Pooch” Spencer furnished the thrill of the day late in the second period when he leaped high in the air to snag Musson’s twenty yard pass and then sprinted on sixty yards over the goal line. FAIRMOUNT, 20; OAKWOOD, 0. The following week a highly overconfident Oakwood eleven met defeat at the hands of Fairmount 20-0 on their own gridiron. Up until game time most everyone had conceded the Purple warriors an easy victory but they failed to live up to the advance dope. Fairmount had little trouble in marching across three touchdowns and Oakwood didn’t even threaten to score. RIDGEFARM, 26; OAKWOOD, 0. On October 4 the strong Ridgefarm eleven paid us a visit. Pittilio, the “Red Grange” of the visiting team was a hard boy to stop and Oakwood fans no doubt would have enjoyed the tilt much more had he been resting his frame on the Ridgefarm bench during the two hours that the tussle was taking place. Before the Oakwood boys were fully aware that they were indulging in something more than a tea party, the visitors had piled up a safe score which was never threatened. The final score was 26-0. OAKWOOD, 6; INDIANOLA, 0. The following week the gridders journeyed to Indianola to meet the preps of that place upon the gridiron. They displayed a better brand of football than in the two previous contests and the result was a hard earned 6-0 victory. OAKWOOD, 0; ST. JOSEPH, 0. On October 17 the Purple gridders furnished the opposition for the St. Joseph Homecoming fray. St. Joseph had a tough team and fans expected them to defeat Oakwood by a big score. However the Purple athletes displayed a remarkable defense from the start of the game and try as hard as they could the heavy St. Joseph athletes could not crush it. Belden gave the Oakwood followers a thrill late in the game with a forty yard run. . Piujc Forty-nine SIDELL, 41 ; OAKWOOD, 0. On October 24 Oakwood entertained the Championship Sidell team in the big O. T. H. S. Homecoming celebration. A large crowd gathered to witness what was expected to be a thrilling game. However, the Oakwood gridders proved to be no match for Hutch” Zimmerman and his mates and consequently the people from Sidell were the only ones who got any thrills out of the fray. OAKWOOD, 27; CATLIN, 0. The last game of the season was played on our own field on November 14, with Catlin furnishing the opposition. The Purple eleven really showed the brand of football of which they were capable in this tussle and as a result Catlin suffered a crushing defeat. The final count was 27-0. The following boys have fought for Oakwood on the gridiron for the last time during their high school careers: Paul Spencer Gordon Cromwell Oscar Vinson Captain Roy Stuebe Arlyn Crawford Mervin Gritten Jasper Musson Ralph Duke Glenn Shutt Captain Roy Stuebe Paul Spencer Gordon Cromwell Oscar Vinson Arlyn Crawford LETTERMEN IN 1930 Mervin Gritten Jasper Musson Ralph Duke Kenneth Green Roy Long Kenneth Youmans Frank Dalbey Harold Van Ruskirk Carl Bel den In the future we wish the O. T. H. S. athletic teams all the success in the world and may they continue to play the game fairly and squarely and may the old Oakwood fighting spirit ever be with them. lJa{jc Fifty BASKETBALL Shortly after the completion of the football season interest turned to basketball. A large squad of boys reported the opening night of practice but most of them were inexperienced at the hardwood sport. Five of last year’s nine letter-men had returned and were showing old time form. In order to give every member of his squad a fair chance, Coach Dunn divided the group into four class teams and arranged a series of games. The boys who showed up well in these games or showed any promise at all were retained on the squad. The next few weeks w'ere spent in drilling the remaining members of the squad for the opening game of the season with the I'airmount quint on December 5. A summary of the games played during the season follows: Oak wood Oak wood Oak wood Oak wood Oak wood Oak wood Oak wood Oakwood Oak wood Oakwood Oakwood Oakwood Oakwood Oak wood Oakwood ..... 5 Fairmount ......................22 ..... 7 Allerton ......................... 9 .....11 Potomac ........................24 ...... 5 Allerton .......................17 ...... o Ogden ..........................16 ...... 5 Catlin .........................22 ..... 8 St. Joseph......................20 .....16 Indianola ........................ 6 .....10 Bismarck .......................11 .....14 Armstrong ......................38 .....17 Fairmount ......................17 (three overtimes) .....23 Potomac ........................42 .....14 Ogden ..........................17 .....12 Catlin ......................... .....17 St. Joseph.....................24 Tof' Row—R. Yountans, Vinson, Mr. Dunn, Dalbey, K. Youmans. Second Row—Long, Pinegar, Stuebe, Belden, Meade. M is for Musson A hard-fighting blonde, Who once tied the score So the game could go on. Y is for Youmans Ralph is his name, Against Catlin at Westville Played one “whale” of a game. S is for Stuebe Better known as “Swede” When told to guard a basket Does a good job indeed. I) is for Dalbey, A Freshman with curls, Plays any game well And likes “cheer-leader” girls. V is for Vinson, Who plays without alarm And when set on defense Has a carload of arms. B is for Belden A lad tall and fair, With a leap and a whirl Makes a “shot” from midair. M is for Meade Who could take the ball through; At first he took three steps But learned to take two. Y is for Youmans Called “Kenny” by name On most any tip-off Puts a big man to shame. L is for Long A Junior quite bold, Plays always to win And hates girls we are told. P is for Pinegar Who drives in with speed. His shots from the corner Are good ones indeed. 1 Rage Fifty-two COUNTY TOURNAMENT On January 23 the Oakwood preps journeyed to Westville to take part in the County Tournaments. We drew Catlin as our first opponent, a team which had previously defeated us earlier in the season by a top heavy score. The Purple netters put up a nice brand of basketball and forced the game into overtime periods. After three overtimes they finally emerged the victors by a 13-11 after a brilliant last minute shot by Musson. Helden and Youmans played a wonderful game. Our next opponent was the strong Westville quint. Although they put up a brilliant battle they weakened in the last period and the Miners crossed the line the winner. The final count was 23-13. SIDELL INVITATIONAL Once more the Purple thinly clads were pitted against the strong Westville outfit in tournament play, this time at the Sidell Invitational. The boys put up a wonderful fight but the lack of reserve strength cost them the game. The final chapter found the scoreboard reading Westville, 21; Oakwood, 17. DISTRICT TOURNAMENT Oakwood competed in the St. Joseph District Tournament this year, meeting the strong 1'isher quint. They put up the worst game of the season and were easy victims of the Champaign County Sharp Shooters to the tune of 39-18. 'This is the last year of basketball for Jasper Musson, Bob Meade, Roy Stuebe and Oscar Vinson. “Let’s play it out as if it were a sport Wherein the game is better than the goal, And never mind the detailed ‘scores’ report Of errors made, if each with dauntless soul, But stick it out until the day is done, Not wasting fairness for success or fame, So when the battle has been lost or won, The world at least can say: ‘He played the game.’ ” —Granti.and Rice.

One week later new members were initiated into the fold and plans of procedure for advertising and managing the athletic contests were again discussed. A serious effort to interest the people of the township in the school’s athletics by inaugurating an extensive advertising campaign and season ticket sales met with the approval of all members and the plan was promptly launched. It proved highly successful, greatly increasing the attendance at both football and basketball games, and the Association benefitted financially. mA} Pat e Fifty four N. Harden, Hill M. Harden, Miss Roller Girls’ Athletic Association President..................................Marjorie Harden Vice-President.............................Esther Hill Secretary and Treasurer....................Nadine Harden Adviser....................................Miss Roller The Girls’ Athletic Association has carried on its work during the past year with fifty-seven members. These girls, as members of an athletic association, have been ever willing to lend their assistance to the athletic activities of the school. They have shown their appreciation of the efforts of the football boys by serving them a banquet on December sixth and of the basketball boys by giving them a picnic on May second. In the Senior Stunt Show the girls won third place by presenting an attractive stunt entitled “Memories.” On April eighth the preliminaries for the class tournaments were held with the following results: Juniors, 22; Freshman, 9; Seniors, 26; Sophomores, 3. The following afternoon the Juniors won the tournament in a close game with the Seniors, the score being 16-12.

JdSnager M Jr Patjc Fifty-five TRACK On April 27, Coach Dunn gave his first call tor track candidates and in the squad of 35 which reported, there were 3 letter men of the 1929 team. There were many new faces in the group, several of the freshmen attracting attention by their skill. Many upper classmen whose prowess was unknown previous to this year reported and prospects for a successful season were fairly bright. There were numerous skilled runners, jumpers and weight men included in the squad. Track practice was somewhat hurried, due to the fact that our first meet with Catlin was May first, scarcely a week after practice was begun. Our opponents had participated in three previous meets; thus giving them more track experience than our boys, but we outclassed them in all departments, emerging victorious by the count of 71 ] to 5?

Its roots extend back into the years and it stands as a memorial of those who were never privileged to enter its doors. The people of two of the communities of the present high school district long ago took steps to see that their children should not be denied the advantages of a secondary education. The Oakwood High School was organized in 1892 with Otis P. Haworth as the first principal. The first graduating exercises were held two years later with only one graduate, S. 15. Longstreth. Fithian held its first graduating exercises in 1903 with two graduates to its credit, Ethel A. Post and H. Guy Smith. From such beginnings the present establishment owes its existence. This school year has witnessed the inauguration of free transportation to and from school. The Board purchased two buses and the first of September, Mr. Knight and Mr. Holden were ready to make the first trip. A month later Mr. Mullins and his big Reo were added to the staff. This year the enrollment of one hundred and sixty broke all previous records, necessitating the services of a full time secretary. Prttje Fifty-nine CALENDAR SEPTEMBER School started today.

Aside from their interesting research work, they have learned much that is of practical scientific value.
