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.
