' 1 1952 IIIIEIHTIIS Hectic moments live and die with time, but fortunately are recalled with joyous remembrance. Had the work on the yearbook gone .with mechanical efficiency, local ,business fought for ad space, all the articles written when axigned, pictures taken and printed with professional delicacy, layouts and a.rt work made with final strokes of creative genius, and had they all been received with the stamp of a romantic sigh, how dull it would have been. You are now tuming the pages of the yearbook, the pictures relive and the words re-drew a part of Oakwood that has passed, but for the staff of the yearbook there is something else beyond the printed page: the work, the problems, the frantic requests, the spark of ideas, the joy of doing, and then finally the finished product. We few, we happy few, with the cooperation of many others and the support of the intangibles of Oakwood, were able to take part in the creative and mechanical process of making the Quercus. Imperfections and improvabilities are realized -- the book stands on its ovsm -- but we hope, in its own way, it does justice to the year that has passed at Oakwood. And our final thanks to the editors and those staff members who devoted so much time, effort and interest for a worthy end. 6 CLASSES C3 This, our Freshman year, has been one we shall never forget, not only because it was our first year of high school, but for many our first year at Oakwood. We have been active in many activities of the school, including the study and work pro- grams, athletic teams, and the Affiliation Committee. One of the outstanding activities of our class was 'junior Miss, a play presented by an all Freshman cast. lt was not alleasy, but the many laughs we got were worth the few rough spots in preparing the presentation. But let us not forget, that all we accom- plished could not have been as successful without the aid of our president, Samuel Hog vice president, Robine Andraug secretary, Catherine Burton, treasurer, Rusell Heaton, jr. All in all, we would not have missed our Freshman year for anything. lt was too much funll And who discovered water? First row: left to right, M. Heiman, G. Krakower, A. Coltof, R.

Not only have they participated actively in all school functions, they have become a unified and more mature group. In their eighth grade year, the class consisted of sixteen students. ln the ensuing years many classmates have come and gone until the present clam of 37 contains only five of its original members. When they became freshmen, they considered the antics of the eighth grade juvenile, and with a little self-inspection, they ques- tioned the maturity of their own capers the year before. But now they were freshmen, had twenty-six members of their class, and were on the first lap of that four year race. The girls had become conscious of the fact that the boys of the class were sadly outnumbered 21 - 5. Despite this deficiency of males, they managed topresent a skit, with the gracious aid of Miss Arky, Miss McNamara and Miss Rhodes. This year, as a result of the very competent work of Judy Grummon, their president, and Kurt Anschel, their vice president, they pre- sented a unique and entertaining carnival which not only provided an evening of enjoyable entertainment, but proved profitable for the originators as well. Another highlight of the year was their production of WE SHOOK THE FAMILY TREE. At this point, the class of '54 has reached the halfway mark in their journey up and are looking forward to next year, their junior year, and are planning bigger and better things Next year's senior claw hails from jamaica, Venezuela, and most of the regions of the U. S, It has become a closely-knit, versatile, and well rounded class in its four years at Oakwood. Though we had a comparatively quiet eighth grade year, we were soon to take a bigger part in school activities. ln our freshman year we put on Magnolia B1ooms, a one act comedy. The next year, our production of My Sister Eileen' was topped only by our Sophomore Carnival. This year our play was the uproarious Gramercy Ghost, and the Class of 1952 will vouch for our junior-Senior Dance. The junior Class has grown gradually. From the six members slingmg the Bun who have remained from our eighth grade year, our class has increased to its present strength of forty-nine students. Besides serving on Student Council, juniors have worked on all the various school Committees. Classmates have partici- pated in many varsity sports, including soccer, football, bas- ketball, tennis, and baseball. Also, many of the girls have played on varsity teams. Under our class sponsors, joyce McKinstry and Rosemary McNamara, we had two unique sales this winter. First to reach the market was the Oakwood Bull. Next came the new famous Oakwood beanie. For a period of time this winter a student without a beanie was like Wednesday without hash. We hope that next year we too will be able to have as fine a year as this year's Senior Class.

The council consists of representatives from each clam and the heads of school committees. With Mr. Clark and Mis Craig as advisors this group is complete. The council is the place to which any student brings a per- sonal concern, a constructive suggestion or criticism. Working cooperatively with the Executive Committee, the Student Council has the responsibility of presenting the student viewpoint on all important matters. ln the domis, life is regulated by the Boys' and Girls' Councils. Their activities vary from initiations to par- ties. Many of us worked until early in the morning giv- ing the halls a Christmasy' atmosphere, while others spent afternoons mixing tuna fish and mayonnaise fora sandwich sale. lt is the Councils' job to look after the more specific problems of the individual in the dormi- tory. Heidel Pauly and Libby Curtis each were elec- ted to serve for a semester as head of the Girls' Dorm, Pete Van Kleeck was the boys' choice. Oakwood has a unique way of planning activities. All events of the year are scheduled by the Calendar Committee. We appreciate the fine selection of pro- grams that this committee, under the leadership of Jeannie Taylor, has given us this year. They not only schedule all Saturday evening events, but invite our Vespers speakers as well. Working with the Calendar Committee is the Social Committee, headed by Rita Muckenhoupt and Olaf Kirsten. Who will ever forget the wonderful Christmas Dance? We all know the time and effort spent in deco- rating, providing refreshments and music, and finally cleaning up, which are all taken care of by this hard working committee. Campus clean-ups, window washing, raking leaves- : f' l .V,A'Ah L P ' 2 L,- yi' is Study Committee MGM Work Committee all are sponsored by the Work Committee. Perhaps the hardest task for Dave Swartz and his group is the as- signing of work jobs to each student. The main objective of the Study Committee is to establish a code which seeks, by setting up regulations for the study hall and library, to improve study habits. Under the leadership of Dick Temple, they established an Honor Committee, which makes a student respon- sible for his own conduct in exams. We thank Oakwood for this training in self-govem- ment, for it is invaluable in the growth and develop- ment of good citizens. Social Committee Calendar Committee A 0 Q 6611.5 5 Glee Club is probably the only club in school whose leader demands every eye Twice a week the gym is host to the largest and most popular club in school Under the direction of Mr Mason with Mrs Taylor accompanist Glee Club has expanded over the years from a small group of twelve to its present strength of over one hundred The first concert of the year is the Christmas Pageant in which almost every student participates in some way Imagine a large dark auditorium three hundred silent watchers the door opens the song begins Hear the joy ful Tidings Two long lmes in black and white bearing candles march singing through the audience up the center aisle. For the next hour, as scenes from the nativity unfold upon the stage, the voices provide a stirring background and end with the triumphant Hallelujah Chorus. The spring concert is of an entirely different nature with a repertoire ranging from popular to classical music. This year the club sang in the French Soiree and also presented a concert which was recorded and later broa - cast over a local network. Glee Club has taken its place among the most valuable clubs in school -- for both the individual joy of sing- ing, and for its major contributions to school life. It is one of the things we will remember for many years. You never grow too old to sing and the companionship to be found in singing, informally or in concert, is a rare treasure.

Passed from eye to eye with the greatest of enthusiasm this last represents America in technicolor. What could bring our country closer without actually seeing it? ln reply to our gifts the students are working hard with their few materials to make projects for us in token of their friendship. Wouldn t it be wonderful to have a stu- dent from Escarbotin at Oakwood for a year? That is just what the Committee has been striving for. Under the enthusiastic leadership of Mary Rhodes, faculty spon- sor and Betsy Wright, student chaim1an the Committee has been promoting cor- respondence and the exchange of projects and materials between the two schools Jldur oggmgrj flgfsil Jos hmvovff nnuolgl TA 'L Q do ' V.

The supreme drive for funds and the exhibition of our collected French ma terials was at the Soiree an evening of fun and friendship To prove that the language barrier is not a great one a full house readily understood the French play and songs. Through the spirit of dona- tion the sale of refreshments and small gifts from parents and friends a profit ample enough to bring an exchange student was raised Through these projects Oakwood has come to realize what affiliation means After three years of growth and work our long-awaited goal is in sight Next year providing all goes well we may see the seeds of our labor bear glorious fruit a true 'fulfillment of the definition of affiliation WPG. s WASH! li, WAHI G, ,ou I -rts hi.

Each class tries to outshine the others, when it is its turn to take the spotlight, From the time the Play Com- mittee first reads and discusses the prospective scripts until the stage crew takes down the sets of the gala performance, the claw is unified by the spirit of the drama. As time passes, we forget the quaking moments of try-outs, the director 's sharp criticism, long rehearsals, and the panic of the first speech. There are other We Shook the pamuy Tree things we'd like to forget. The curtain always sticking at the crucial point. Our roommate 's theatrical mut- terings in her sleep. The I.

Or the exasperation of hours of memorization only to have that page censored. lnstead, it's fellowship gained by class cooperation that remains with us. lt's when the congratulations have been bestowed and our make-up removed that we realize that the play is really over.

Almost half of this year's team had never played any high school ball until this fall. Often playing against heavier and more experienced foes, Oakwood nevertheless displayed an amazingly fine team spirit, never quitting until the final whistle. The ke note of this season was improvement Though we lost our first few games we were getting better Y - , and better. At last, the glorious day arrived. Before a huge crowd of parents, alumni, and students, Oakwood swamped Woodmere, 18-0. The scores of the other games did not indicate the spirited and hard-fought op- position with which we met our adversaries. On offense, our gridders depended mostly on a single wing formation, though the T was used not too in- frequently. Our favorite offensive play was an end run, Besides captain Andy Harkness, the team will lose many valuable members, Next year's squad will miss Kermit Kuhns, Thayer Willis, Van Cunningham, Barney Bornn, Dick Temple, Roger Bullard, Dick White, Ed Tanguy, and Paul Scuderi.

What grace they gave to the many girls who participated in our annual fall sport of field hockey. The confusion of the first few weeks was multiplied by the many neighborhood dogs, who became enthusiastic hockey fans. But as weeks passed, our skill and teamwork improved until even the faculty was afraid to play us. Our season consisted of five games, of which we won three and lost two. More than the games, however, stand out the good times we had. One Saturday afternoon Fieldston High School came up from the Bronx to play us, and as this was a repeat from last year, we enjoyed renewing friendships with people we had met before. We did play Greer twice and the games were very close as the teams were evenly matched and the competition was keen. After the games, we walked along a winding path, finally reaching civilization and cocoa, the standard refreshment after a game. We went to Locust Valley, and although we were not fortunate enough to win, we all had a good time, After the games were over, we had doughnuts many of which made the return trip to Poughkeepsie and provided our Sunday morning breakfast. Although no one escaped bruises and banged shins, this season was invaluable as to the 'Q memories and good spirit ofcomradeship that developed among the team. Kneeling: P. Fuson, A. Cooper, A.

Strand, P. Van Kleeck, B. Dent VICIURIUUS WI SIA U With cheers resounding from the gym walls, and cowbells ringing, Oakwood took possession of the D.C.S.L championship. Our team was undefeated except for the sole loss to our arch-rival, Pine Plains, however in a re- turn game on our own court, we rallied to win in one of the most exciting games of the season. Oakwood outplayed Red Hook in two thrillers, 50-43, and 36-33, winning the second game in the last min- utes against a point deficit. ln addition to these teams, the Quakers methodically polished off all other comets. With practically the whole varsity returning this year, and other players coming from such places as the Beacon varsity, the Peddie varsity and the church league, a successful year had been assured. Pete Van Kleeck led the attack from center, scoring an average of 20 points each game. Mark Strand and Arnie Golden were forwards, followed up by Paul Scuderi and Dave Le- wittis as the rebound snaggers. The squad was exceptionally well balanced. During the whole season Coach Butterfield could take out the first team and put in a follow-up team of almost equal strength. Larry Gardella, Howie Brock, Dick Temple, and Ben Dent provided the necessary depth and saw much action. Dave Dustin and Barney Van Kleeck rounded out the squad. The j.V. also came through with a gratifying year, many players getting the necessary experience required for successful varsity competition. The Varsity was capably managed by Thayer Willis and Van Cunningham Qflawlessly it may be saidj, while john Bernstein astutely saw to the needs of the I. V. A new idea was instituted when station WKIP in Poughkeepsie contracted to broadcast the second Oakwood-Pine Plains game. lt is hoped that someday the Quakers will be on television. X lHl J.V.

Bernstein, manager SPURISI Oakwood's Midgets, the little team with the big punch, spent a large part of the season building and organizing their man- power. Starting with returning Sam Ho, the captain, and Butch Wilson and Art Dehart, coach Yosh Sanbonmatsu shaped the team into a spirited squad. Com- pleting the starting five were Dave San- ders and Otto Valdez. Alf Askland and Valdez had never played basketball be- fore, but at the end of the season they were fighting with the competitiveness that the rest of the team showed. Dave White, Rusty Heaton and Stanley Pruzan backed up the starters. The Midgets were hindered by having only one home game. Looking at their records of games won and lost, one feels the excitement of the 20-7 victory over Clinton, or the fight and teamwork dis- played in the loss of Warring 20-22 in an overtime. The Midgets showed an evolution from players thrown together to a fighting unit, looking to the future. MIIAIURI First row: left to right: N. Hurwitz, J. Swett, R Wilson H De Mello, A. Cooper.
