Mrs. Joe Brothers serves coffee to Mr. and Mrs. Homer Pichon at the first meeting. The first meeting of the year saw good attendance with the majority representing the freshman class. ALUMNI ASSOCIATION SCHOOL SUPPORTERS PTP Alumni Assoc. Booster Club TO THOSE WHO SERVE BEHIND THE SCENES Often one forgets that there are several organizations outside the school which play an integral part in the school's functions. We would like to express our appreciation and thanks to three organizations who helped to make the school year a successful and profitable one. The Parents-Teachers-Patrons provided the opportunities for teacher-parent discussions and organized a fun night to make money to buy drapes for the gym windows. The Alumni Association provided a banquet and dance which brought many alumni back to the school to reminisce and to observe the school's progress. The Booster Club took tickets at athletic events ahd sponsored a professional ladies basketball game. Again our thanks to those who serve. Above: The alumni found time from their reminiscing with old friends to eat the banquet dinner provided by the seniors. Below: The class with the greatest attendance was the class of 1965. Even though they were gone only one year, they found much to talk about. BOOSTER CLUB One of the big events of the year was the homecoming bon fire co-sponsored by the Booster Club. An old car symbolizing Hoopeston was provided to allow Oakwood fans to show their skills at demolishing Hoopeston with a sledge hammer. FITHIAN MUNCIE OUR GROWING COMMUNITIES Oakwood Township High School receives its students from five principal grade schools and communities. These grade schools are Diamond, Fithian, Muncie, Newtown, and Oakwood. When OTHS first organized in 1915, its territory included the villages of Oakwood, Muncie, Fithian, and the towns of Bronson, Newtown, Glenburn, Brothers Station and Missionfield. The population of the district was 2,772. In the first school year of 1916, the school had 88 students. The first graduating class, the class of 1917, had 7 students. In 1935 when the new gymnasium was approved, there were 246 students enrolled in the school. In 1952 and 1953 Atwood, Eureka, South Mount Pleasant, Batestown, Hillery, and a small part of the Fairmount territory petitioned into the district. At one time 14 grade schools supplied the student enrollment at OTHS. One by one, many of these schools have consolidated until today we have the 5 basic grade schools pictured on this page. Plans for the future include further consolidation of these grade schools and the possibility of a district junior high.

A moment of relaxation is something which everyone needs now and then. Layton and Trinnie are enjoying a moment of relaxation. WE DEL TO WHO Trinnie and Layton have driven many a bus ove We, the Acorn Staff of 1966, would like to dedicate the Acorn to two men who have served our school for many years. Hershel McPherson, better known as Trinnie, and Layton Ligget have served our school for thirty and thirty-one years respectively. Layton graduated from O.T.H.S. in 1927. He was very active during his four years. He was secretary of his Sophomore class, treasurer of his Junior class and president of his Senior class. Throughout his four years, he participated in the Boys Athletic Ass’n., Ag. Club, football, basketball, Boys Glee Club, and Rooters Club. He was captain of his Senior basketball team. Moving from past to present we find that Layton is still active at O.T.H.S., as well as in his community. He has driven our buses for thirty-one years without an accident. He has also been a member of the Muncie Baptist Church and was Sunday School Superintendent for thirty years. Our day would not be complete without Layton. His high school friends felt the same way toward him as indicated in the following poem: Layton is nimble, Layton is quick, The kind of friend, that will always stick. Hershel McPherson attended O.T.H.S. until 1921. He played basketball and football, winning the O.T.H.S. Emblem for football in 1920-1921. There was a short sentence written to sum up his football ability. It is as follows: “Trinnie played end, was reliable on receiving line passes, and was fast, cool, and heady. When Trinnie was in high school, he was noted as a wit and as best dressed. He was envied because he drove a Model-T with white wheels. At that time there were very few cars, so having one was quite a privilege. He was born on a farm south of Oakwood; he attended Oakwood Grade School and the Oakwood Christian Church. Trinnie is part of history here at O.T.H.S. He was the first driver at the school to operate a bus with an all steel body. He has driven seven different buses during his career; each bus was traded in after approximately 100.000 miles. This means that Trinnie has driven over 700.000 miles safely. This year Trinnie retired to spend his time with his favorite sport, fishing. He was honored at a special assembly his last day at school. The faculty presented him with a new rod and reel and he received a gift of money with a card signed by all the students. We, the annual staff, appreciate their friendly and wonderful interest in our school and community. We wish them both happiness and health always, and Trinnie ... “Happy Fishing. Trinnie keeps the fire burning to warm the hearts of the O.T.H.S. students. ICATE THOSE SERVE nany a mile. Why? To bring students to O.T.H.S, Mr. Koontz presents a going-away gift from faculty and students to Trinnie. A MESSAGE FROM OUR SUPERINTENDENT You don’t graduate from school into the world! Neither will you cease to learn when a diploma is placed in your hand. School is truly a part of life and should be so treated. School gives one another chance to try it over if he doesn’t succeed, help in correcting errors, and more encouragement to be successful. Take advantage of it. The post school world is sterner and less forgiving. WAYNE E. KOONTZ The entrance of a teenager into high school is evidence of growing. High school is the last school that he may attend. Because it is the school that bridges the gap between childhood and adult responsibilities, its students must practice self-direction and discipline to an increasing extent. At graduation students should, in so far as possible, be capable of self-direction. At the same time the high school is training in self-direction, it must increase the knowledge and skills that the student has acquired and add some new ones. To accomplish these purposes high school teachers and students must be willing to labor hard and earnestly. Some students enter high school from grade schools where teacher supervision is close and rather dictatorial; other Freshmen are from schools that have already begun inculcating self-discipline. Students who have been accustomed to rigid supervision take longer to adjust themselves. Their first taste of self-direction is limited and supervised, but, even so, the irresponsible will use their opportunity to loaf and misuse their time. Mr. Koontz takes a few moments to make a memo to keep his busy schedule straight throughout the day. Mr. Koontz takes time to disciss with the James Scholar candidates the requirements for the honors program at the University of Illinois. 9 CLYDE HENDRICKS ORVILLE GUTTERRIDGE HAROLD ROHRER KENNETH DIVAN President GEORGE WYNN GERALD MEADE FRANK HAYS BOARD OF EDUCATION Mrs. Dalbey, secretary, takes notes as the Board discusses school policy. Teacher turnover was the biggest problem the Oak wood Twp. H.S. Board faced in 1965-1966. The Board had met teacher requests for an increase in the basic salary and did not anticipate much of a desire for change. Many of the teachers who did leave were people who had become an essential part of the school system. Some were in key positions. Securing replacements for these fine teachers required a major effort. The Board met many evenings and afternoons to interview and discuss applicants who would be suitable replacements. They were fortunate to find many excellent replacements. Board members, and public officials alike are much taken for granted. Their work, if wrong, is loudly criticized-but if good, is accepted in silence. Since Board members are unpaid, such treatment seems particularly unkind. Most are compensated by their feeling that their task is a worthwhile one. But still, words of appreciation help. Hence, this tribute. 10 Mr. Walters aids Matilda Scott with her clarinet music.

At the same time they have been sporting a candy concession. They have also been busy preparing for the band contest and the county festival. BELOW: Mr. Boguski is planning dates for future activities with Kay Ray. The counseling program stresses the value of achieving recognition in high school for the possession of qualities that will be desirable after graduation. Our program hopes to provide information and counseling about vocational areas and opportunities and about extending formal education, including scholarships, loans, and other student benefits available. The guidance program includes various testing throughout the four years a student is in school. Individual conferences are held with students concerning any educational, vocational, personal or social problems they may have. In summary, the guidance program hopes to meet the needs of each and every student so that each student may reach his optimum development in order to eventually take his place in our society as a young adult.

The office practice course offers the students a chance to practice and to learn the techniques of the various machines. Shorthand and typing are taught with the effect of a real business job. This gives the student a better view of what a real job will really be like. SOCIAL STUDIES: MARY INGRAM B.S., Eastern Illinois University Civics.

GAYDOS The girls who work in the office are usually Juniors or Seniors taking courses in typing, shorthand, bookkeeping, or office practice. They voluntarily work during their free hours. They don't get points for doing this, but they do get valuable experience and a better idea of administration work. The girls record attendances, sell lunch tickets and supplies, and generally help in the office. Although their jobs may sometimes be trivial, they are appreciated by all. The office workers’ work is never done. Sharon Engelmann, Sandy Tucker, and Pam Wolfe busily work while Mrs. Dalbey looks on. Supplies for sale!

One of the biggest and most remembered is Homecoming. Joellyn Brothers, our royal queen, will reign throughout the year 1965-66. Joellyn has been head majorette for two years, president of the FHA, and a member of the National Honor Society; she is also active in the Librarians Club and in class activities. Joellyn smiles as she leads the twirlers onto the football field for the practice session. HOMECOMING 1965 Three Coins in a Fountain Alumni and students of Oakwood danced to the music of Therman Frock and his band at the annual Homecoming dance. The theme of the dance, Three Coins in a Fountain, was represented by a small bubbling waterfall with a clear blue pool at the bottom. Couples tossed pennies into the fountain in hope that their wish would come true. Ice blue and turquoise blue streamers swooped from one side of the gym to the other, making the gym a romantic setting for the queen's dance. Joellyn Brothers and her court reigned over the Homecoming. Every eye was turned toward her as she and Merrell Shipman led the queen's dance to Three Coins in a Fountain. Students and alumni greatly appreciated the wonderful Homecoming dance the Student Council made possible for them.

Through the magical theme Camelot , the gym was transformed from its present appearance to the legendary days of King Arthur and his knights in shining armor. Dancers entered the palace by way of a drawbridge which spanned an authentic-looking moat. The crowning came at ten o’clock. For the king and queen candidates, this was the climax of weeks of hard work. They spent many of their evenings and Saturdays collecting money door-to-door in the area towns. They are very grateful to all the kind and generous people who contributed to their cause. Money from car washes and bake sales was also added to their funds. This year's king and queen are Sharon Engelmann and Jim Dalbey, who represented the Senior class. Everyone is proud of them and agrees that they are the perfect couple to reign over Camelot. Jim takes great pleasure in crowning his queen. Sharon and Jim enjoy a joke as they march in for the crowning. Roses for our queen.

MAN VERSES WOMAN ■■ AN ORAL INTERPRETATION What is oral interpretation? The student who has had some training in interpretation is a better actor because of that training. He learns to read his lines more effectively, but there is a difference between interpretative reading and acting. Interpretation deals with a story that exists only in the imagination of the reader and of the listener. There is no call for acting. An interpretator will tell you about the scenes rather than show you. He creates an illusion. The stage is not a physical one. but an imaginary one existing only in your minds and the minds of the readers. This being the first oral interpretation show presented at O.T.H.S., it was a novelty and enjoyment to both the readers and audience. 35 ORGANIZATIONS ANNUAL STAFF his years officers spent much time and effort in guid-lg the production of the ACORN. The officers are .jated, left to right: Sue Schramm, Editor, Patti Bur-ett, Assistant Editor.

I N A C T I O N Tie mimeoscope was an invaluable id for cropping pictures. Here, Steve ewis, Jerry McGlaughlin, and Rhonda •chramm look on while Linda Moran xplains one of its many uses. Toofreading is one of the most tedious and most mportant aspects of staff work. Cheryl Creech, Toni Mitchell, Jo Ann Yarusinsky, Diane String-ield, Jerry McGlaughlin, Patti Lee, Lela Hafner, ind Sue Swick check and re-check completed pages or errors. The yearbook has been defined as a permanent record of the year's activities. The annual staff has done its best to fulfill that definition. This year, hard work is something that each staff member has experienced, as evidenced by each page of the ACORN. Under the direction of hard working advisors and officers, the club was re-organized and plans for the yearbook were laid. In 1965, Inter-Collegiate Press had been contracted to produce the 1966 Acorn. In order to help all their high school annual staffs, they presented an Annual Workshop held on the campus of the Univ. of Illinois. The members of the staff gained many new ideas on presentation of the yearbook; many of these new ideas can now be found incorporated into the ACORN. The advertising campaign was a major project of the club, since the money made of the advertising would go a long way in determining the type of annual that could be presented. With a lot of patience, time, and effort, the staff topped its goal of $1000, more money than the staff has ever been able to earn before. To celebrate this major victory, an all staff dinner party was held at the Red Wood Inn, with most members in attendance. Ten new members were inducted into the club soon after the dinner party, and they soon came face-to-face with the new terms, amount of work, and procedures that they had to learn before they could even begin to work. The most time-consuming work was then begun as layout pages had to be designed and placed on the final pages which were to be submitted to the publisher. The staff members worked hard at their various jobs, performing them with the best of their abilities. The deadlines were met, and the layout pages were on their way to becoming a printed yearbook. In closing, the staff wishes to express its gratitude to the advisors Mrs. Barnes, Mr. Bails, and Mrs. Mamoun, and the officers for their help in making this yearbook possible. Carol Hall, Sue Swick, and Jo Ann Yarusinsky are busy typing the final copy on each page before the pages are sent to the publishing company. Rhonda Schramm waits patiently while Patti Burnett finds her pictures. This was the first year that the Acorn Staff sold the underclass pictures to the student body. Some of the hardest work of ail is the laying out of a page. By working together, these staff members create better pages.

We are planning some educational and recreational meetings for our members. We have spent a large amount of time revising and clarifying our club constitution. In addition, many of our members were active in the area of school service by spending much of their own time working on school projects. Among these projects, we are most proud of the new concession stand in the lobby and the work areas built into the office.

Further guidance was given by the co-editors, Kay Adrian and Linda Musson. More goes into a newspaper than just writing; assignments have to be proofread and typed; and the pages have to be mimeographed and stapled together. The artists help to beautify the newspaper.

Treasurer. Our advisor was Mr. Boguski. In October we sponsored the Homecoming weekend with the bonfire, Homecoming assembly, Half-time activities at the Homecoming game, and the Homecoming dance. The theme, Three Coins In A Fountain”, was carried out in shades of blue. In November Student Council members attended the CDASC convention at Champaign. Oakwood was represented by Patti Burnett, candidate for Vice-President. One of our most important projects was the CARE drive held in December. Many articles were donated by each class with the Junior Class winning the trophy for having the biggest hearts. Also in December, the Student Council sponsored the Christmas assembly and gave to the faculty a coffee maker for their Christmas present. During the year we also sponsored a clash day, a few sock hops, and an ice cream social in the spring. Mr. Boguski's assistance was of great value to Student Council throughout the year.

An attractive personality is an asset to the library's reputation, since teachers often are there seeking information or books. A librarian must be able to accept responsibility. She must have a quiet but pleasing voice, and she must be well groomed. Other qualities, such as a cooperative attitude, ability to follow directions, and an interest in people, as well as in books, are desirable. Librarian's Christmas Party brings joy to hard workers at the holiday season. Officers: J. Yarunsinsky - S.C. Representative, Mrs. Fisher - Advisor, V. Atwood - President, J. DeMoss - Treas., K.

Many promising freshmen and sophomores gained experience this year. Randy Laflen and Dan Coon have shown good promise as pitchers for the 1966-67 season. The leading hitter on the team was Dan Coon with over a .400 average. The team is looking forward to winning over half of their games the next year.

Between classes the juniors found time to exchange greetings with their friends and to gather books and materials for their next classes. Often the hallway was so crowded that no other class member dared to enter the oncoming crowd of juniors. Laughter, gossip, and serious discussions about forthcoming tests could often be heard among the chaos of these soon-to-be seniors.

That night they took a tour of Bourbon Street. After church Easter morning, the seniors went to the zoo. They spent their last evening at the Fountain Lounge and at the Ponchatrain Beach Amusement Park. All in all, it was a trip to remember. iftatfonal iftonov ocictu Sandra Lee Tucker Kenneth Allen Baker D A R S This year the Governor Bradford Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution presented the good citizenship award to Sandra Lee Tucker. The Sons of the American Revolution presented the good citizenship award to Kenneth Allen Baker. These people were selected by the members of the Senior class and O.T.H.S. faculty. Their selection was based on the following qualities: Depend ability - -Truthf ulness - -Punctu ali ty - -Service - -Co -oper ation - -Helpfulness - -Responsibility- -Le adership- -Personality - -Self -Control--Initiative--Patriotism--Unselfish loyalty to American ideals. Sandy and Ken have demonstrated these qualities through their work in the school and the community. Both are members of the Oakwood Methodist Church, and Ken is vice-president of the Youth Fellowship. He is also a volunteer in the local Civil Defense unit. The Acorn Staff feels that both Sandy and Ken are very deserving of the honor they have received and wishes to express its congratulations. The community should be very proud of these two fine citizens. 117 VALEDICTORIAN Cheryl Sue Creech SALUTATORIAN Sandra Lee Tucker SCHOLASTIC HONORS The valedictorian and salutatorian of the Class of 1966 are Cheryl Sue Creech and Sandra Lee Tucker. Both of these girls have maintained a nearly perfect straight-A average throughout their four years at O.T.II.S., and both have been very active in all phases of high school activity. Last summer Cheryl participated in the National Science Foundation's Life Science Program at Purdue University. She was one of thirty-nine students from thirteen states, who were chosen for the program on the basis of high school grade averages and various tests scores. This fall she is entering the School of Agriculture at the University of Illinois, in a pre-veterinary course. She is a James Scholar and has received the Illinois State Scholarship and a Federal Education Grant. Sandy will attend Eastern Illinois University at Charleston in the fall. Her career plans are indefinite at this time. She has received an honorary award from the Illinois State Scholarship Commission and is also a candidate for an Illinois State Teachers' Scholarship. The Acorn Staff would like to express its congratulations to Cheryl and Sandy and wish them good luck in the future. 1)8 We have included Rita Darr in these pictures of honor students because her grade average brought her very close to being salutatorian. Sandy is seated at the desk where she spent many hours keeping books and writing checks for Mrs. Dalbey.
