Miss Williams, Mr. Holley In September of '38, eighty-eight earnest young students set their feet on the path which led to the ultimate goal-commencement. The expedition headed by James Norris began its search in tangled and dense surroundings. The members were constantly on the alert for any unknown danger. On the evening of September 16, they encountered another expedition called the Head Hunters, better known as sophomores who had been wandering in the wilder- ness for a year. After being initiated into the tribe, the newcomers were given a royal welcome. They soon began to follow the customs of the Head Hunters. In the fall, after a three months' rest, they continued the expedition. Emerging from the low, swampy, tropical land onto a pampas the group se- lected as its new chief, Wendell Davis. At the beginning of the third year, only seventy of the eighty-eight searchers who had started were ready to continue the trip. Wendell Wright, who had fallen by the wayside in a former expedition, returned to take up the duties of head man. Visiting tribes were impressed by the dramatic skill dis- played of the forty twoers in their play, Gay. In February, they were in- vited to a party on board a yacht which lay in an adjacent lake. Later in the year they feted the yachtsmen at a feast in the forest Grier-Lincoln. During the final year more explorers had struck forth into other fields, until the expedition numbered only fifty-eight. The group was grieved by the death of Edith Kinney on Christmas Eve. A darkhorse, the pugilistic Muggsie, led the group to victory. On December 16, they emerged onto a high plateau which became the scene of a hillbilly shindig with an inferior tribe known as juniors. On April 17, the acting ability of the group was exhibited in the play, The Blue Bag, a three-act comedy which was hailed as hilariously funny. Finally, the class of '42 reached its goalacommencement and bade farewell to the many friends they had made while enroute. They departed taking with them happy memories of the four years they had spent in their quest.

Jack Freeman Student Council Representative ..... Delores Mauck Advisers ......................... Miss Pichon, Mr. Hall The members of the Junior Class began their high school career on Sep- tember 1, 1939 as freshmen, seventy-four strong. Although numerically the class is somewhat reduced, its enthusiasm and school spirit have increased over the years. The class gave to the school its basketball captain, Childress, as well as four other players, Newtson, McKee, Dailey, and Mitchell. The football team could hardly have won its laurels without the aid of Irvin, Newtson, Dailey, Largent, McKee and Childress. Alice Freeland competed in the comedy read- ing division of the speech contest. The Junior-Senior party given at the Grier-Lincoln Hotel on the evening of April 23 was thoroughly enjoyed by both hosts and guests. A hilariously funny comedy, Ready Made Family, was presented before a appreciative audience on October 17. The cast, ably directed by Mr. Holley was as follows: P Howard Rutan .......... ....

M iss Casebier, Mr. Dinsmore The Freshman Class of '45, composed of more than seventy quiet and slightly bewildered boys and girls, entered the doors of O.T.H.S. on Septem- ber 3, 1941. The Freshies, blundering into the wrong classrooms and asking innumerable questions, soon became accustomed to the routine. On the evening of October 7, they were welcomed into the school by the sophomores at a hilarious party held in the gym. Two weeks later the newly initiated freshmen acted as hosts to the sophomores. The class has made a very creditable showing in athletics, Gerald Hud- dleson and Merrill Shepherd winning places for themselves on the basketball squad.

Miss Michael, Mr. Clinebell During the third week of school, the above officers were elected by the whole student body according to the Australian ballot system. Each of the four classes then elected a representative. Since this is only the second year of the existence of a Student Council in our school, the group has tried to carry out the very worthwhile purposes set forth by the constitution adopted last year, which were: C15 To promote the general Welfare of the school, C25 To arouse school spirit, Q33 To provide op- portunity for student co-operation and participation in the management of school affairs. Early in October five members attended the Student Council District Meeting in Clinton High School. The most important thing discussed was the advisability of Student Council participation in disciplinary matters. The Student Council has assisted in the following ways this year: 1. They have been active in helping to plan assembly programs. 2. They organized and carried out a Courtesy Week Program. 3. They have tried to encourage the student body to do its bit for na- tional defense by sponsoring a defense stamp poster contest and by making a paper drive. 4. They helped to plan the Home Coming program at the Oakwood- Kansas game. On April 25 and 26 the whole group hopes to attend the state convention which is to be held at the Congress Hotel in Chicago. The main purpose is to gain ideas from older organizations in order to function more effectively and more efficiently. It is hoped that the Student Council will be an organiza- tion which will improve from year to year and will be able to be a realbenefit to both the administration and to the student body.

THE LIBRARY The usefulness and appearance of the library was improved by the addi- tion of a new magazine rack. The Abridged Readers' Guide to Periodical Literature, subscribed for this year, makes possible a more extensive use of the magazines. The library book collection has been augmented by books borrowed from the state library for a period of three months. Library assistants, appointed by Miss Williams and Miss Hollman, to serve each hour of the day were: Hugh Hart, Gertrude Harper, Louise Van Buskirk, Imogene Murphy, Martha Edge, Jean Bridgman, Martha Harden, Georgia Clinebell, Jo Ann Dunavan, and Illeana Kinney.

M iss Pichon The Home Economics Club is composed of students who have taken or are taking home economics. The aim and object of the club is to develop per- sonality, leadership, and social poise. The club tries to foster high ideals of and deeper appreciation for home life, as well as to strengthen the bonds be- tween the school and the home. The girls had some difliculty in organizing, due to the loss of their first adviser, Miss Moudy. The club has made up for lost time, however, under the present adviser, Miss Pichon. Two members, Mildred Rucker and Marjorie Liggett attended the State Home Economics Camp at Bloomington, Illinois from August 27-30. In October, Miss Moudy, Marjorie Liggett, and Annabel Johnston, last year's president, attended a district meeting at Momence, Illinois. Early in the fall the freshmen were invited to a Weiner roast by the older members, at which time they were given some ideas of the aims and purposes of the club. The crowning social event of the year was held on the evening of December 11, when the members entertained their mothers at a buffet sup- per. Following the supper an interesting program was presented, during which the freshmen were initiated in an impressive candle-light service. In the spring, the girls revealed their St. Patrick sisters at a pot-luck supper. On February 17 Mrs. Lence, manager of Summers Beauty Shop, Danville, Illinois, gave an interesting talk on beauty culture. Mrs. Hortense Jones from the Farm Conservation office talked to the club on March 2 about a program set up to increase production. TOP ROW-B. Ervin, M.Wainwright, B. Gutterridge,J.Bridgman, V.

The dairy team, consisting of John Fagaly, Merle Lig- gett, Donald Meade, and Lester Wolfe won the county dairy judging contest for the third consecutive year. Lloyd Van Buskirk won the cup as the best fat stock judge in the county, while John Fagaly brought home three cups from the Fairmount Fair for the best female dairy animal, the best gilt, and the best litter of pigs. Four boys, David Bantz, John Fagaly, Dean Pearson, and Howard Rutan received their State Farmers degrees. David Bantz was also chosen as vice- president of this section and Wesley Doney was elected state reporter. The high light of the year, however, was the winning of the State Chapter Con- test in August. In October, David Bantz, Wesley Doney, and Merle Liggett, accom- panied by Mr. Sailor attended the National F.F.A. Convention in Kansas City. The chapter was entered in the national chapter contest and received honorable mention. Merle Liggett received his American Farmer degree, the highest honor any member may achieve. November was a busy month for the Future Farmers. The boys entered exhibits at the grain and poultry show, held at Westville and brought home several premiums. Mr. Hugo Trost gave the chapter a line bull calf. The club purchased a beef which Mr. Pearson fattened until it was butchered for the F.F.A. Banquet. The sixth annual F.F.A. banquet was held on Wednesday evening, No- vember 26. The Home Economics classes under the supervision of Miss Pichon served it. The boys put on the entire program without the help of outside talent. Howard Rutan was selected as the best allround agriculture student and Donald Meade was awarded the Fithian Grain Company's trophy for the best showmanship.

Over 3,000,000 acci- dents occur in the home. Accidents occur less frequently among persons trained in first aid. Since injuries occur, in spite of all precautions, it is neces- sary to know the proper thing to do if first aid measures are required. Soon after the beginning of the second semester a class of over thirty, composed of students, faculty members, and a few out siders was organized by the Red Cross. The instructor of the ten weeks course was Mr. Felix Vallett, who met with the class every Wednesday evening for two hours.

Miss Casebier The Girls Athletic Association was first organized at O.T.H.S. in 1924. It is afliliated with the Illinois League of G.A.A. and its members are girls who have a definite interest in athletics. This year it consists of eighty members. The members earn points by participating not only in school athletics, such as volley ball and dancing, but also by engaging in outside activities. Several have received pins for having earned a number of points in unorganized activities. Business was transacted at monthly meetings, announcements were made concerning future activities and entertainment was furnished. At an early meeting plans were made for initiating new members. The initiation, which included a skate, was conducted at Crystal Springs Park on October 24. On November 11, several girls attended a Play Day at Westville. The girls were dressed in shorts and tennis shoes. After the introductions were over, a variety of indoor and outdoor games, such as badminton, volley ball, and deck tennis were played. At 11:00 a short play, written by the Westville G.A.A., was given by some of the G.A.A. girls. At 11:30 everyone filed into the cafeteria. A hot luncheon was served with Eskimo pies for dessert. Places were reserved for the delegates from each school, thus enabling them to sit together. The president of Westville High School G.A.A. acted as chairman for the affair. She called on the president of each chapter to make a short speech. Sheets of music were laid ateach girls cover and after the meal these songslwere sung. At the close of the day pictures were taken of various groups of gir s. Those representing our schcol in this meet were Wanda Ross, Louise Van Buskirk, Effie Thomason, Nellie Patterson, Marjorie Applegate, Hannah Shumaker, Marie Williams, Jean Dearth, Mary Dukes and Mabra Edenburn.

PHYSICAL EDUCATION The value of physical education and physical training in developing strong bodies, in forming proper health habits, and in improving coordination of mind and muscle has been recognized for many years by the state of Illinois. Recently, increased emphasis has been placed on the need for physical educa- tion, now each student is required to take a four year rather than a two year course. During the freshman year each girl participates in younger group games such as circle games, dodge ball, relays, bat ball, and potato racing. Later the classes take up organized games-volley ball, soccer and softball. Finally, the senior classes reach the stage of older ,group games-basketball, speed- ball and tumbling. The boys learn the fundamentals of the organized games and in addition are trained in marclf ing and drilling. From these activities, the school hopes to develop, in addition to muscle, knowledge of certain rules of the games, knowledge of social and hygienic standards and the disposition to work and play in a sportsmanlike manner. No greater value can come from a high school education than that expressed by the poet when he said: . . . And when that One great Scorer Comes to Write against your name, He writes not if you won or lost But how you played the game.

Twenty-six responded to the call and from this promising group 18 were selected to represent Oakwood on the grid- iron. The boys, subjected to vigorous workouts under the supervision of coaches Blackwell and Watson, soon developed into a powerful fighting ma- chine. The newly formed squad chose Bill Norris as their captain. Bob Leverenz was selected by the coach as manager. Cheerleaders elected by the Pep Club were Charity Cline, Junior Condon, and Mary Ann Kirkpatrick. The season was not only a successful one, the team winning five out of six games, but also a thrilling one. In the opening game with Danville, Indiana, the second team began the attack but the first team was soon substituted and scored three winning touchdowns to Danville's one. The seasons second game, played at home,-reached its climax when Clifford Childress dashed 60 yards to score a touchdown. Cayuga challenged the Comets to a game on October 9. Oakwood, deprived of three of the regulars because of injuries, lost the game by score of 48 to 0. The Rockville-Oakwood battle was slated to be a loss for the Comets. Although the Ccmets were outweighed by 15 lbs., the game with Chrisman yielded the team its highest score of the season with 28 points. The boys traveled to Kansas fcr the final game of the season and defeated the Kansas Six by a score of 19 to 0. The victorious season won for the Comets thesix-man football champion- ship of East Central Illinois, As a climax, the Board of Education met and voted in eleven-man football and made provisions for a lighted field in 1942. Eleven-man football will allow more boys to participate and make it possible to schedule more games with neighboring schools, thus cutting traveling ex- penses and creating more interest from fans as well as keener competition. The seasons total sccre was made by three players. They are as follows: Childress-56 points, Norris-22 points, Newtson-19 points. At the end of the season the following men were awarded letters, Bill Norris, Lloyd Van Buskirk, Clifford Childress, Carl Largent, Eldon Irvin, Bob Newtson, Bob Grunden, Ernie Cox, and Howard Wright. Manager's letters were awarded to Bob Leverenz and Bob Kirkpatrick. 1941-FOOTBALL SCHEDULE AND SCORESe1941 Oct. 1 Oakwood ................ 20 Danville. Oct. 3 Oakwood ..... .... 1 8 Kansas...

FOOTBALL TEAM CAPTAIN BILL NORRIS-Senior-Halfback-6'2 -150 lb. Dagwood, a quick player for the defense and the tallest man on the squad IS an excellent passer. Good blocking and tackling with punting ability make him a first class team man. LLOYD VAN BUSKIRKfSe'n.lor-Halfback-5'11 H-155 lb. Bus was an inexperienced player but did well during his last year. He finished the season by sharing end with Wright. His tackles are good and he is always ready for a rough game. CLIFFORD CHILD RESS-Junior-Quarterback-5'7''-1 35 lb. Cliff, a deceptive runner, was one of the fastest men on the team. HiS intelligent signal calling and quick kicking were very valuable. He should be an asset to next year's team. CA RL LA R GENTeJunlor-Lineman45'2 f1 58 lb. Carl, a rugged boy, is a good defensive lineman and blocker. Although he is very aggressive he likes to play on the defensive. HOWARD WRIGHTfSophomoreYEnd-6'-150 lb. Howard, who alternated with Buskirk at end, likes football because it is rough. He is a good pass receiver and blocker and in all probability will be one of our mainstays next year. ROBERT NEWTSON-Junior-Halfback45'7 -1 65 lb. Newty, using side-step and change of pace confuses the opponent. He is a capable blocker and tackler and will be another one of our 11-man players next year. ELDON IRVIN-Junior4Rlght end45'10 e170 lb. Trivin, good defensive end, is very adept at intercepting and breaking up plays. He is good blocker and likes to tackle. BOB GRIlNDENYSenlor-Center and quarterback 5'6 -105 lb. Muggsy, though the smallest man on the squad is a good defensive player and an accurate passer from the center. ERNIE COX-Senior and kalfback-6'-225 lb. Tiny is very active and possesses lots of spirit. He would have been a star on an eleven-man team. ROBERT DAILE Y-JzmlorWHalfback-5'7''-1 40 lb. Bob has his hot games but is unable to beat out larger boys. His ag- gressiveness and intelligence will probably give him a position on next year's team. ME R R ILL McKEEkJ1,mioT-Tallback-5'5 '-1 30 lb. Fibber is a good punter and passer but handicapped because of his small size. He should gain enough size and weight to make next year's team. GEORGE IlNVERFERTH-Sophomore-Centerf5'l,''-135 lb. Shorty , being small and fast is very,aggressive. He has plenty of drive and lots of spirit. JIM MCMAHON-sem0f4Em1-6'3 -1vozb. Jim is very tall and also left-handed. He wasn't very speedy at the be- ginning of the season but was a good player at the close of the season.

WU U 5 E W5 3 l C r BASKETBALL Basketball practice started Monday, November 10, immediately after the football season ended. In addition to last years letter men, Bill Norris, Bob Newtson, Cliff Childress and Vere Shepherd, several promising underclassmen turned out. At the end of last years season Clifford Childress was elected cap- tain and Raymond Van Duyn and Eugene Dieu were selected as managers. The Arcola-Oakwood game attracted a large number of fans, not only because Arcola is the home school of Coach Blackwell, but also because the basketball queen was crowned on that evening. The queen, Mary Cramer, was elelited by those members of the student body who bought or sold season ic ets. The alumni and students cooperated to make the home coming game on December 23, with Kansas an eventful evening. The alumni held their annual banquet at 6:30 in the study hall and then adjourned to the gym for the contest with Kansas. As a team the Comets had a very successful season placing in three tournaments namely the Oakwood Invitational, the Sidell Invitational, and the County Tournament. Their conference record has been high with 12 games won and 13 games lost.

BASKETBALL TEAM CAPTAIN CLIFFORD CHILDRESSeJunior-Guard Cliff is especially effective in offense against a slow or pressing defense. Ile has developed a good one-handed hook shot and is a very good defensive p ayer. VE RE SHEPHE RDeSenioriCe'nte1' Shep was high point man for the season. A good defensive man, he usually guarded the other team's toughest man. He is good on the one-hand push shot going toward the basket and developed his ability to make set shots. B ILL NO R R IS-Senior-Forward Dagwood, one of the tallest men on the squad, had the highest free throw and shooting average at the end of the county tournament when his eligibility ended. He feints to get his guard out of position before driving in for a goal. ROBERT NEWTSONeJunior-Guard Newty, although a poor shot at the beginning of the season, developed .nto one of the best scorers. He is an efficient ball handler and rebounder. 1 HOWARD WR I I I HT-Sophomoreelrorward Howard developed his one-hand push shot and improved his two-hand push shot. He is a good rebounder and should be a great help on next year's team. JI M McMAHON+Senior-Forward Jim being 6'3 was the tallest man on the team. He is a left hander, a good defensive rebounder, and willing to do the best thing for the welfare of the team. ROBE RT KI R KPAT RI C K-Senior-Guard Kirk, a satisfactory offensive ball player, is handicapped by slow-footed- ness. He is a good ball handler and his willingness and cooperation make an asset to the team. LEON MITCHELLAJuni01'-Guard Mitch, is the steady type of player and a good defensive rebounder. He is of good size and should be a great help on next year's team. GERALD HIIDDLESON-Freshman-Guard Hud, the relaxed type of player has developed sturdiness, dependability and calmness under pressure. MERRILL SHEPHERDeFreshman--Guard or Forward Corky, an intelligent and very cooperative boy, has developed aggres- siveness during the past year. He is a good ball handler and shot. ME R RILL McKEE-Junior-Forward Mac, despite his size, was a regular. on the reserve squad and broke in on the varsity team late in the season. He is a speedy and a good ball handler. ROBERT DAILE Y-Juni0rA2'uard Bob has shown as much improvement as any player on the squad. He is steady and should make competitors work for a position the coming season.

Blackwell The O Club adopted a constitution and by-laws defining the purpose of the organization and the conduct of its members. It passed and accepted the contract system for varsity athletes for enforcement of training rules. It decided on qualifications for letters and set up rules for awarding of same. It changed regulations in regard to the color of letters. Football letters are to be white with a purple trim and basketball letters are to be purple with a white trim. The club adopted the old English style letter for the track and baseball letters. The club is sponsoring a towel system to be inaugurated for varsity athletes in 1942. This system will provide towels bought by money earned by the club. This will make it possible for each athlete to have at east two clean towels per Week. The members of the O Club and their guests enjoyed a dance held in the O.T.H.S. gym during the month of November. It has fostered and culti- vated a democratic attitude in the members of the club toward all the club problems. The members very definitely have a part in making the rules which they are asked to obey. This democratic spirit has carried over into the solu- tion of other problems. FIRST ROW-H. Wright, D.
