You ve never heard of Purdy s?l C aaa Aafory Our years at Oakwood have been a little like a book with something interesting on every page It is with a bit of nostalgia that we tum back the pages and recall the memorable happenings of the years For they have been memorable years! Who can forget that first day at Oakwood as Freshmen the picnic supper Mr Reagan's outdoor games and the first nrght in the dorm Then came a week with many new activities a little homesrckness perhaps new teachers and friends, and real high school work at last There were many new adjustments to make of course but undaunted we banded together as a class add established our place at Oak wood We topped off the year with a grand talent show and branded the year a success As Sophomores we quickly settled down as old students and began another busy year We lost some people and gained some people As evidence of our originality we collaborated with the Freshmen in instituting the Oak wood Camrval This year found us making our mark both in studies and athletics sity of our studies grew, so also did we grow and we found ourselves taking things more seriously and developing interests and abilities in many fields We finally gave a play, The Night of Januagy l6Ihl a mystery with an alter nate endmg dependmg on a jury hand picked from the audience It was a thrilling success We also staged a gallant Junior Senior banquet Then as we placed our shiny new class rings on our fingers we realized that the next year would be the last The last chapter of our book is full of excitement This year we rounded off our chosen courses with inter esting and extensive study We took a class trip and labored over college applications and most of all learned to enjoy each other s friendship in the dizzy heights of Senior hall At this point there is a bookmark but as this yearbook goes to press we are looking forward to another class play our Junior Senior and at last, the culrmna tion day of all our days at Oakwood Commencement day Looking back over the pages brings back memories of parties meetings for worship work jobs, and room mates bull sessions town trips projects and committees Most of us remember three headmasters at Oakwood We realize that it has been the people at Oakwood both teachers and students which have made it so meanmgful We have cheered our teams and conjugated our verbs and now to Oakwood we say a fond good bye with all good wishes, while we close our book with the painful though pleasant realization that next year we will be Freshmen again 17 I g s Q ' I l ' n ' s v 1 g K 1 Our Junior year found us struggling with College Boards, Geometry proofs, and source themes.
