Board of Education Our school board, under the competent leadership of Dr. O. W. Michael, is constantly striving to provide a more balanced program for our students. The school board also recognizes its responsibility in making educational opportunities equally available to all students. Only when a school board has the interest of students uppermost in their minds can a school progress towards broadening and improving the school’s program. This year’s board also voted money to be used for the installation of lights on the football field. Harold Izard replaced Alfred Knight as a board member during the past school year. Members of the school board are: Seated—Joe Davis, Wesley Condon, Dorothy Cannon, Secretary, and Dr. 0. W. Michael, president (inset). Standing—Harold Izard, Glen Doney, Ernest Seymour, Roy Eiehorst, Wayne Koontz, principal. Maintenance Staff The men who operate the buses, maintain the school building and equipment are as important to the school staff as our principal and teachers. Equally important are the school secretary, Dorothy Cannon, and Mrs. Newtson, head of the hot lunch program. This year there has been a new bus driver added to the staff, Woody Richardson. The others that have served in past years are Layton Liggett, Melvin Holden, Hershell McPherson and our janitor, Wilson Hazclbaker. These people have all carried out their responsibilities faithfully, in spite of the bug dust coal, icy roads, and schedule interruption.

ACORN It has been the tradition at Oakwood for each of the teachers to plant an oak tiee near the school. There is now a very pleasant grove of the trees west of our school which furnish both beauty and comfort. The many acorns found on our campus each fall suggested the name for our annual.
