School Board Formulates School Policy Many people probably wonder just what is the job of a school board. Our school board is comjxised of seven members, elected by the people of Oakwood Township. Its members meet once each month and in special meetings. Some of the responsibilities of the school board are: to help the school administer in setting up the budget for the school year; to help decide on questions of school policy as they arise; to participate in the election of the school staff; to help evaluate the curriculum of the school. School boards also have the important responsibility of providing our students with increasing educational opportune ties. Members of the school board are, left to right: Seated—Dr. O. W. Michael, president (inset), Joe Davis, Wesley Condon, Dorothy Cannon, secretary. Standing—Harold Izard, Glen Doney, Ernest Seymour, Roy Eichorst, Wayne Koonrz, principal MninUMutnee Stall A Valuable Asset Our school is fortunate in having a cooperative, competent maintenance staff to drive the busses, make necessary repairs, and perform all those tasks related to maintaining a presentable school building. This past school year has taxed the energy of the maihtcnance staff to capacity — roads have been a menace all winter, and extremely cold weather has meant extra hours in keeping the school at a normal temperature. Our entire staff exhibits personalities which help make for a pleasant atmosphere around our school. Members of our maintenance staff are, left to right: Wilson Hazelbaker (inset), Woody Richardson, Hershall McPherson, Melvin Holden and Layton Liggett

School Philosophy Considers Needs It is the purpose of the high school to assist the student to recognize and to cope with his, and his state’s, immediate and future needs. This shall be done in such a manner that the student becomes a worthwhile and contributing citizen in a democratic society. The faculty understands the students’ needs to include: (a) The ability to think clearly, (b) The realization of individual capacities, (c) The ability to reach intelligent decisions, (d) The effective use of the tools of communication, (e) The appreciation of esthetic values, (f) The development of a satisfactory life philosophy, (g) The ability to make a living, (h) The development of physical and mental health and of good health habit, (i) The worthwhile use of leisure time, (j) The appreciation of, and practice in, effective group procedures, (k) The understanding of his country's political, economic, anil cultural heritage. O.T.H.S. Faculty, March 1949. Acorn It has been the tradition of Oakwood for each of the teachers to plant an oak tree 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 suggest the name for our annual.
