FOOTBALL Thirty-three boys turned out for the first practice on September 7; of these, four were letter men, fifteen had seen action before, leaving eighteen totally inexperienced. Mr. Dinsmore assumed the coaching duties in the fall of 1932, with a determination to make the best of the material available. Ably assisted by his managers, Glenn Bantz and Ralph Hunter, he hurriedly whipped the team into shape for the first game at Rossville.

ALUMNI BANQUET On the evening of December 27, 1933, nearly sixty former students of Oak-wood Township High School gathered in the auditorium for their annual party. The assembly was appropriately decorated in purple and white pennants. At six-thirty o’dock a buffet supper was served on small tables softly lighted by tall candles. A short business session followed, during which James Sedgwick was elected president to succeed Juanita O’Toole and Thelma Lane Andrews was chosen secretary to succeed Eva Youmans. It was decided that two parties should be held each year, the next one to be in June. The remainder of the evening was spent in cards and dancing, Paul P.lair’s orchestra from Charleston furnishing the music. Pane Thirty
