CLASS HISTORY President..........................Eldon Irvin Vice-president.....................Bernice Richter Secretary..........................Virginia Sims Treasurer..........................Alice Freeland Student Council Representative.....Jean Bridgman Advisers...........................Miss Williams, Mr. Flener As we fifty-four seniors turn away from Oakwood High School, our thoughts are dwelling on our four happy years spent here. In the fall of 1939, seventy-four of us, as eager freshmen, started on the road to knowledge under an experienced and well qualified faculty. But a year later, when the bell rang for the first time in the fall of 1940, our roll had been reduced to sixty-five members. The sophomore-freshmen initiation parties high-lighted our social life during the first two years. Five of our members received letters in athletics during our sophomore year. During the next, our junior year, we engaged more actively in the programs of the various school organizations. We presented our first 3-act play, a comedy entitled, Ready Made Family, and acted as hosts to the seniors at a Victory Banquet given at the Grier-Lincoln Hotel. This our last year, we published the 27th volume of the Acorn. In order to boost the sale of the books we sponsored an amateur radio contest. The first prize was divided between Louise Hayn, acrobatic dancer, and Mary Kay Peugh, vocal soloist. The second prize was awarded to the Farnum sisters who sang a duet. We entertained the juniors at a Sadie Hawkins party on November 13. Have A Heart, a 3-act farce, presented in April under the direction of Miss Richardson, completed our major activities. We have been very successful as a class, now we must prove our individual success in everyday life. Some of us will enter farming, some industry, some college, and some of us have already entered the armed forces. Floyd Schramm and Carl Largent are serving their country in the U. S. Navy, Cliff Childress in the U. S. Marines, and Dean Cunningham in the U. S. Army Air Corps. What ever we do let us do with all our might, and above all let us not forget our associations formed here in Oakwood Township High School.
