To A Real Nice Guy The fellow we are dedicating our 1957 Acorn to is as well-known as the tradition to dedicate our yearbook. During his four years at O.T.H.S. he has become well-liked and respected by everyone. Mr. Boyer, who teaches Shop, Mechanical Drawing, and Industrial Arts, you would think would be better known by boys but his friendliness and sense of humor make him known to all. It would take a book to write all of the many things he has done for us and to tell how much we appreciate him. Since that is impossible we will try and sum up our “thanks” in a few words, “He’s a real nice guy!”

The Oakwood Township High School building was dedicated on Friday, April 27, 1917, at which time there were exercises and speaking. The school has been fully accredited by the proper authorities of the State of Illinois. Favored as it is by abundant resources, a beautiful and well constructed building, a location accessible to all, and a spirit of genuine friendship among members of the board, parents, teachers and students, the school promises to be one of the leading educational institutions in the state. Acorn Staff 1917 A gymnasium is being added to the original building tills year, 1936, at the approximate cost of $54,000. It is to provide a playing floor of eighty-five feet by forty-five feet, with a seating capacity of seven hundred fifty, and a stage opposite the bleachers. Locker rooms for sports and physical education are located under the stage. On the north side, under the bleachers, the Home Economics Department is located. The gymnasium is to be connected to the main building by a corridor, which will be the main entrance to the building. The new project will not only help the crowded conditions, but will also provide a meeting place for the people of the community. Acorn Staff 1936 We are sorry to see the original building destroyed, but happy to see it replaced by a new and more spacious one. The old building will be remembered only by pictures, but what was accomplished within the walls will live on, along with memories of the days spent in classrooms, study halls and participation in school activities.
