We, the senior class, are most grateful for those years we have shared with you, for your un- selfishness, fortitude, guidance, and hospitality. In recognition and appreciation of a truly Christian life, we lovingly dedicate to you our 1954 Quercus. FOREWURD So you want to know what this is all about! Well, we'll tell you,-these are your years at Oakwood. This is a green- and silver-wrapped memory box-full of antics of your teachers, faces of your roommates, and actions of your friends. This is to remind you of some of the happiest years of your life. You will be able to remember Meeting for Worship, basketball games and the Dug Out, the freshman play, the Sophmore Carnival, the junior-Senior, and finally yearbook and graduation. Here is a private, once-in-a-life-time world where you can recall that first week of school, the time you dumped your roommate's bed, discovered you had made the team, stayed up all night for the fun of it, experienced that first time happiness, and cried a little at graduation. Opening each new page this summer, or ten or forty years from now, we hope you'll grin or sigh to have your high school days brought to mind by a snap or a sentence. It is in the hope of this realization that we proudly present our yearbook- Quercus 1954 G A K g 7 ju nf IU' I ll! gx Of KX 'N cr YM :S L- rg P g9 P n e3 C e O e9 e C p e9 C CO eo 'Q e3 C ' I uf, ffffm, I I flu ms 1 ' s ,..

You have been a great class, and you have been in very large part responsible for a great year. You have meant so much to Oak- wood and to me that I could not possibly use this space without try- ing to say some of the things that are closest to my heart. I am writing during the Lenten season of your senior year. These days leading up to Good Friday and Easter have special meaning to me, because I am a Christian by conviction, and yet I believe they can have meaning for those of you brought up in other faiths, as well. Truth is universal, whatever sect expreses itg and I stake my life that these things to which Lent bears testimony are true. God is love: that is the reality of lifeof which I am most certain. I have seen many-dear God, too many-of those small crosses in rows along a foreign field. I have stood by them, feeling for- saken, crying in my heart. And then I have thought of another cross, a larger one, one with a Man on it, planted on a hill. The Man knew all about the toughest kind of luck a human being can have, or the most stubborn sin. It killed Him and put Him in a grave dug in the same earth with all those little crosses above those other graves. And still He carried out His way of love even to the bitter end, forgiving as He died. Surely the spirit of the universe was in Him, as it can be in us, and it reached all the way down into the depths of human misery and tragedy. Wherever there is wretchedness or sorrow, frustration or fear, there is the spirit of compas- sion to share and lift the burden. We in our darkest moments, our loved ones in their grief, our friends at their most difficult, our enemies how ever brutal-all are included in the love of God. We are not alone, we are not helplessg no one is hopeless. Love, through the ministry of any one of us willing to be its messenger, can be there to heal and to help. It is not strange, if God is love, that people like Jesus and Ghandi and St. Francis seem even more alive today than when they were alive. It is not strange-if God is love-that every- one of us, little people of the earth though we may be, whose names do not get into the history books, will find that our spirits expand in deepest peace and joy in those moments when we forget ourselves in bringing happiness to others. Members of the Class of '54, for whom I have so high a regard that I have said what is deepest in my belief, I am thinking of each one of you, individually and one by one, now, just before I have written these closing words. ,I WILLIAM W.

Boys, Council NDER the able leadership of our presi- dent, Sam Ho, and bound together by a new constitution, the Boys' Council worked successfully in the making of a happier and closer relationship among the boys in the dor- mitories. The Boys' Council, which consists of the Dean and Assistant Dean of Boys, the presi- dent, and two representatives from each hall and Student Cottage, has the power to make and to enforce rules which apply specifically to the boys within the dormitories. Among the accomplishments of the Council this year were: the purchase of furniture for the boys, center room, a donation to the Community Chest, senior lights until 10:50 and the privilege of all-night-lights once a month, the boys' Christ- mas party, and the selling of food twice a week. It is the hope of the Council that the privileges which have been granted in the past year will serve in the future as a foundation for the extension of freedom for the individual boy. 1 f 'S ,ci , at f f ZZW'2UGirls, Council 44 OOD, anyone?,' is a familiar shout heard around the girls' dormitories every Tues- day and Thursday night. Yes, it's Girls' Council at work. Each Thursday afternoon representa- tives on the Council can be seen industriously mixing tuna fish and mayonnaise for the big sandwich sale. The Council is comprised of the Dean of Girls, the chairman, and one girl from each class elected to represent both that class and the dormitory in which she resides. It is Miss Carlson and these six who are responsible for ironing out the wrinkles of dorm life. A pro- gram of work was scheduled for this year, and long-needed facilities were supplied for both dormitories. At meetings a cheerful and friendly atmos- phere is combined with the serious, as the members hash out both general and individual problems.

Student Council F YOU should wander down to Craig Cottage some Wednesday evening, after Study Hall, you would probably see ten rather forlorn-looking individuals for maybe they're just sleepyj draped over the furniture. Yet, one of them would be assiduously taking notes, and one, two, or all ten of them would be debating some significant facet of Oakwood life. This is your Student Council, which attempts to solve some of the prob- lems that appear in any boarding school. The Council discusses all phases of the school community, and, while it has no actual jurisdiction of its own, it is often the origin of new school policies, organizations, and events, and the sounding board for any friction or dissatisfaction that arises. This year Student Council has extended its program of true student participation in government to the point where students are now in charge of the enforcement of social regulations and the supervision of study halls. School evaluation has occupied another large part of the Council's energies. Besides this, the Council has consumed approximately four boxes of marshmallows, eleven plates of cookies, and seventeen pots of coffee and cocoa. 13 Left to righl, first row-Cynthia Benson, Alvina Philby, adviser, Alf Askland, chairmang Frederick Ernst, Nancy Griffiths.

These are only a few of the numerous questions which the Social Committee must answer before a dance. Differ- ent types of entertainment are planned by the Committee, whose responsibility it is to make each dance as enjoyable as possible for every- one. This could not have been so easily accom- plished without the patient help of those in- dividuals who contributed so much toward making the gym attractive. Meetings each Tuesday night were called to order by Mr. Butterfield and the student chair- men, Najia Elmandjra and Gerry Huizinga, who, along with the assistance of Miss McKin- stry and each class representative, planned not only dances, but also the after-school activities during the winter and the Friday night enter- tainments. As well as activities, the Social Com- mittee reviewed the rules which guide the stu- dents toward better social behavior. Work Committee HE first and most important duty of the Work Committee is to help the director of student work, Mrs. Philby, distribute work jobs among the students and provide work sub- stitutes when they are needed-in general, to co-ordinate the work program. Throughout the year, the Committee also is responsible for seeing that the campus is kept clean and for directing campus clean-ups when they are necessary. During the winter, members of the Committee flood the tennis courts for ice skating. The duties of the Work Committee are few in number as compared with those of other Student Council committees. Nevertheless, the responsibilities which it has assumed have occu- pied its members. Left to fight, fmt row-Marion Cunningham, Carol Stokes, Iris Cornelius, Patricia Funkhouser, Barbara Han num.

Calendar Committee ERHAPS the greatest tribute to the work of the Calendar Committee is the way Oak- wood students have come to take its work for granted. We have become accustomed to stimu- lating vesper speakers, to good Saturday night programs, to planned activities on Sunday afternoons, and to Thursday night movies. It is the Calendar Committee that plans all these activities. In addition, it organizes hall skits, sets the dates for the class plays, and handles many other incidentals. The smoothness and efficiency with which these projects have been accomplished is due to the persistent efforts of the Committee under the leadership of its sponsors, Ruth Craig and Paul Taylor, and the student chairmen, Kay Memelsdorff and Dick Meredith. Study Committee 44 EADING in Relation to Study was the first of the numerous and varied topics elaborated upon in the meetings of the Study . Club. The Club, whose purpose it is to aid and to advise the student body in regard to study and study habits, was reorganized this year as one of the Study Committees main projects. Under the capable direction of Dr. Curtis New- lin, we realized many other aims also. In memory of our far from perfunctory meetings, we pay tribute to the competent, yet forgetful, secretary who often misplaced the notes, but had memorized every detailg and another particular member, who was inces- santly anxious to complete the business at hand. Knowing that the members of next yeat's Commitee will continue to develop our objec- tives, we can look back with satisfaction over the past year.

A. 44 HEREYS a G.A.A. meeting! is the cry down the hall as the five members of the G.A.A. slowly gather for a few minutes or hours to make important decisions concerning girls' athletics. Wow! Two hours to appoint managers, scorers, and timers for the varsity and J.V. basketball teams. However, under the guidance of Mickey McKinstry, we finally made all the necessary decisions. The pride of the G.A.A. this year was the girls' locker-room. We spent several meetings deciding how to renovate it, and emerged vic- torious, but paint-shattered, after our struggles with the decoration. The year ended with the distribution of team awards at the annual G.A.A. banquet in the spring. Thus, another year of fun with sports came to an end. Q on Q0 00 Q Q' O U Q, Q P QI Q 9 fx ' If?

Literary Magazine S ONE looks at the number of publica- tions which the Oakwood students write, illustrate, print, and sell, one finds a new baby -the Lit. Magazine. Though still toddling, it already boasts two years of activity. Brought to life under the sponsorship of the Class of 1954, it was then called the '53 Workshop. This year the name has changed but not the contents. The magazine appeals to most of the intellectuals, but a few non-intellectuals read it too! Though it is published only once a year, the stall hopes that the baby will mature and become a long-standing Oakwood tradi- tion. Black on White MID the whit of creative imagination, and pleas to extend the deadline, the Black on White intermittently struggled to press. The school newspaper underwent a pro- cess of rejuvenation this year. Starting under the auspices of the Student Council, footsteps were turned toward the goal of a self-support- ing, Oakwood community newspaper. Our policy has been shaped about the desire to bring to light campus problems and accomplish- ments. Outside events adding meaning and dimension to these were drawn in. The Black on White has experienced trying times, as all newspapers must, and any achievement has come about only through the diligent efforts of the entire stalf. k Left to right, ffm? rouf--Nancy Maxwell, Libby Levinson, Suzanne McClain, Lynn Heiman, Judith Grummon, Mary Straus, Monique Schumacher, co-editor, Wilma Layng, adviser, Kay Memelsdorli, co-editor.

Ensemble HE largest instrumental group in five years, Oakwood School's ensemble was organized this year by Isabella Taylor and directed by Max Arnold, a former member of Sousa's band, who, in recent years has occupied first chair trumpet in the Newburg, Allentown, and Dutchess County Symphony Orchestras. The first program of the ensemble composed of selections from Bach, Handel, Grainger, Hump- erdinck, and Anders0n's Christmas Festival, was produced for a Christmas assembly on Decem- ber ll. The woodwind instruments of the ensemble, formed into a quintet for the Christmas Pag- eant, played the Alleluia and Chorale by Palestrine, and a selection from Mendelssohn. As an entire group, the ensemble appeared again, at the Spring Concert. Through practice over the past year, they have improved, bend- ing together as they have built a repertoire. Choir UE to the lack of choral interest on the part of the ma'e population of Oakwood, it was necessary to make this year's choir a strictly feminine affair with, of course, the notable exception of our director, Bert Mason. The choir sang in several programs including the Spring Concert, a special Christmas as- sembly, vesper services, and Sunday Meetings for Worship. The Selections have ranged from Latin to early American chorales, and from French and German Renaissance music to Negro spirituals. The footsteps to the gym every Tuesday night were far from reluctant. If the audiences have found as much pleasure in listening as the choir has in singing, then indeed, it has proved to be a stimulating and profitable part of the year.

Another picture? I'm quitting Glee Club! And thus it went. Despite this often repeated threat, the Glee Club again claimed the largest and most enthusiastic partici- pation in school. Isabella Taylor, Acmmpmzittx Bert Mason, Director of the Glee Club During the fall Bert Mason energetically led and drilled over a hundred voices, about half of which were unaccustomed to such group singing. All went well until the last rehearsal-then panic struck-Isabella Taylor, our accompanist, was called away, it was impossible for her to return before the production of the Christmas Pageant on Sunday. Fervently Sara jane Benson studied the piano parts. She accompanied with finesse. The Glee Club, thanks to Think high, didn't go flat on Lo, How a Rose E'cr Blooming, and Cathy Burton and Peter Bank said the Prince of Peacel' together. The Pmmire of Peace. written by Bert Mason, had once again been successfully presented. Then, the Glee Club began to rehearse for an Easter Program and the annual Spring Concert. The year for the Glee Club culminated in June with the Baccalaureate Service. Left to right, first row-Sally Wedgwood, Khoirow Nast, L bby Levinson.

The Club is not new, for it has been a popular extra curricular activi- ty for several years. The members met every Tuesday evening after dinner, and under the expert direction of Mrs. Newlin, increased their speed, decreased their errors. For a few con- scientious souls the Club also served as an ex- cellent supplement to the daily typing class. Discounting any mishaps that might have occurred concerning the typewriters, and ignor- ing losses of temper with some very uncooper- ative keys, the Club proved once again a satis- factory combination of education and pleasure for a Tuesday evening. Music Appreciation Club TRANGELY modern sounds and familiar mellow tunes marked many Sunday after- noons in the Assembly Room, where the Music Appreciation Club held its sessions. The mem- bership varied, but social couples patronized steadily, stealing time after the four o'clock dead line! Even with diverse attendance, how- ever, the programs were well-liked, whether they included Chinese Opera, jazz, Beethoven, or Shostakovitch. The Club attempted to present different forms of music, its variations in tone, strength of form or the lack thereof, and the contrasting interpretations of composers' musical inspira- tions. If one did not seem aware of any general plan, it is just as well, because the primary purpose was the enjoyment of genius. X Religious Life Committee HY? Wluat? And so what? These are some of the questions that the newly formed Religious Life Committee has attempted to answer. The Committee had its start last year in a Student Council vote for its existence. This fall, with Warren Sherk and Liz Horr at the helm as faculty and student chairmen, it was launched and set sail on rather uncertain seas with no predetermined course. Soon, however, a list of projects was drawn up, and time was found in the busy schedule of the school for discus- sion groups. One of the high points of the year for the whole school was the November conference led by Paul and Lois Harrisg and the Buck Hill Falls Conference will remain in the memories of the Oakwood delegates for some time. With growing responsibilities and a more important place in the school life, this Com- mittee would have a future. Affiliation Committee HIS was a year of discussion and decision for the Affiliation Committee. With the help of guest speakers such as Eliza Steck, we talked at length about the meaning and pur- pose of afliliation. However, with all the talking, we still kept busy with projects which raised our financial status and provided fun and work. One par- ticular success was the sale of food, cookbooks, and buttons on Parents' Day in the fall. At Christmas we sent the equivalent of twenty dollars to Escarbotin, France, for appliances to be used in their new home economics labora- tory. By new ideas and plans formulated and car- ried out under the patient guidance of Mrs. Philby, the faculty adviser, Marjorie Frazer, the student chairman, and the Steering Com- mittee, we hope to have made this a meaning- ful year.

XX Football C: NOTHER Oakwood football season has G, Q f passed into school history. This was one C V 'kb of the largest turnouts for the sport that the school has ever known, although of the thirty- live who came out, only a small percentage had -u t played more than one year of active football. Head Coach Bill Butterfield, and Assistant Coaches Hal ff ,. Frazier and Yosh Sanbonmatsu did a fine job with V the inexperienced material. All were eager to learn and put forth diligent effort, resulting in fm X loyal teamwork. XJ Xl jx The backfield was remarkable this year with TSR Jw Munroe running, Stevens blocking, Berlin pass- 4 ing, and Ernst receiving. None of them had ever played these positions before. Other receivers were ends Willis and Rowe. Outstanding linemen were guard Huizinga, center Wharmby, and tackles f V 4 Anschel, Meredith, Askland, and Fidalgo. X ,- Particularly memorable encounters were the XJ 7 games with St. Peter's, St. Luke's, and Red Hook. XX In spite of the size and experience of the majority Ki? of our opponents, Oakwood put on a good show- ing offensively and defensively. 33 Girls, Hockey spirited group of girls ran on to the hockey field and began to bang themselves and others around in a desperate attempt to make a winning team. Only a few members of last year's team returned, and several girls had never played hockey before. Nevertheless, a valiant, fighting team emerged in new, short tunics to play in that snowy weather. Joyce McKinstry, our brave, un- failing coach, gave our team much of that ability needed to take the defeats with the victories. There were several trying games for both coach and players. Many were played under wearying conditionsg nevertheless, the team pulled together as a well-coordinated unit with the added direc- tion of the co-captains, Numpty jordan and Cathy Burton. The season was successful inasmuch as all gained experience and enjoyed playing for the sport itself.

Midget Basketball N eager aggregation of eighth and ninth grade boys turned out for the start of the basketball season. Coach Yosh Sanbon- matsu formed fourteen of these, many of whom had never played together, into the Midget team-Oakwods varsity and V. of the future. Although transportation was limited for the away games, each man had the opportunity to play in his share of the contests. This sharing of participation developed cooperation and co- ordination. Four of the team will be eligible to return next year, and they anticipate continued prog- ress from this year. . V. Basketball HE J.V. has always offered a chance for Oak- wood's future basketeers to gain invalu- able experience, and this year was no exception. This year's team had few returnees and, con- sequently, started the season almost void of ex- perience. However, with the patient coaching of Mr. Butterfield and the great spirit of the boys, the squad improved tremendously with each contest. By the end of the year, the 1. V. had fielded a team that was worthy of Oak- wood's praise. It was transformed from a green and gangling crew into a winning combination. This never could have happened without the team's persistent desire to have a winning season. fini-We ,Mm Cktbt Q Friar! mu'-Hugo Sonnenschien, David Cohen, ,lay Halsbad, Nicholas Coppola, Michael Miller, Robert Weaver, joel Griffiths.

Varsity Basketball AKWOODS basketball team had another fine season, despite the fact that there were only two returning lettermen.

Olfensively, Jed Golden and Fish'l Berlin, co- captains, and Lee Munroe sparkledg while the boards were controlled by john Ernst, George Stevens, and Fred Ernst, strongly backed by the rest of the squad: Jim Wharmby, Lew Benedict, Art Willis, jim Morgan, Jack Wiesel, and Lowell Croll. We played one of the more exciting games on our own court with the Wooster School. Close throughout, a 40-40 tie at the buzzer left the crowd in an uproar. In the excitement packed overtime, Oakwood came through in fine style to win. Khosrow Nasr and LeRoy Minard managed the varsity while Mike Henningburg served the j.V. squad.

Among other places, we visited the Smith Brothers' Cough Drop Factory and the Fit- chett Brothers' Dairy. Led by our sponsors and class ofhcers, we were encouraged to participate in different phases of school life, This year was a beginning for us.

Another important event was our play, Alirofzrir Home, under the direction of Yoshiro Sanbon- matsu, which met with the same interest as our freshman comedy, junior NIi.s1f. and last year's Dear Rmb. Witlu our increased strength, not only in number but also in maturity and knowledge, we have contributed members of our class to Student Council, committees, and sports. The success of this year was made possible through the appreciated help of our sponsors, Wilma Layng and Wzirren Sherk. Every member contributed to the class activities which demanded and received whole-hearted support. We are eager to accept the chal'enge to assume, as Seniors, the leadership of the school. ,Gtr , 0 If - 595' 6 'X cg 'S' . y sv -7 QW Eb J: J o 5' , QA' , ,' vp VMI' if -t S ,Of Y, Q -.XY ax Xb R 5 'dr' 4 .

Campaign Record E CAME-as eighth graders, untamed and inexperienced, following the footsteps of those before us, into what was to be our world for the next live years. We began to work as a group while planning our class trips. We raw-and were seen, our freshman year. We gave a hat dance and presented to the school our first dramatic offering of an original class skit. The fall of 1951 arrived and after an Eastern Bazaar, We Shook the Family Tree, finding valuable members among us whom we donated to sports and school committees. Then we were juniors and, as a united class, took our part in the leadership of Oak- wood. We learned the value of the faculty, not only as instructors but also as friends, and we learned the value of our fellow students, not only as friends but also as instruc- tors. We presented another play, You Can? Take It With You, and invited the seniors for an evening in a New York penthouse. We conquered-much that Oakwood had to offer and clamored for the gates to be let down, yet more than a little uncertain of the future. We became enthuiastic about all kinds of weekends, from long ones in New York to the all too short ones at colleges. We found ourselves addicted to sleep-overs and senior privileges. Good-bye, My Fancy, our last theatrical production at Oakwood, symbolized our own approaching departure. We then struggled through College Boards, planned the Junior-Senior Picnic, and all year lived and breathed our yearbook. The years are over, and we graduate with full hearts, leaving our own footsteps with the hope that they may make worthy stepping stones for those to follow. Prophecy LEVEN A. M., June 12, 1974-a bedraggled woman slips cautiously to a Central Park bench and draws out a folded newspaper. It is a copy of the Red on Red, a new periodical edited by Michael Roloff. This paper's policy: All the News That's Fit to Arguef' She catches the glaring headlines WORK ON Z-BOMB HALTED-LEADING CHEMIST LIBBY LEVINSON, LEAVES TO PLAY GOLF-FINDS IT LESS UP- SETTING. Also on page one is an article covering the recent educational conference attended by, among others, Joan Quinn, headmistress of the School on Wheels, and Penny Betts, noted instructor of bead-stringing and other creative arts. High-lighting the meeting was an address by Dr. S. J. Benson on What Does Education Mean to You? No decision was reached. . A uniformed figure, Guillermo Fidalgo, pride of the police department, eyes our figure suspiciously as she turns the page. She gasps as she reads of Jim Morgan's latest offense, fitting twenty-three people into his Jag , and dragging them to his dentist's ofhce. Her eyes skim over the next few articles. Ultra-modern dairy farming methods eliminating use of cows have been proposed by agriculturalist George Stevens, and dairy woman Gladys Barney. Secretary of Agriculture, Lewis Benedict, predicts that farm prices will either rise, drop, or remain the same during the next week, horicul- turalist Gerry Huizinga, poisons himself with back-firing spray gun-atending physi- cian, Dr. James H. Johnston, advises summer cruise, with milk diet. Psychiatrist, LeRoy Minard, suffers nervous breakdown and is found in locked room hurling apples at nurse Adele Schroeder. Continuing on the women's page, she comes first to Barbara King's instructions for sewing the perfect spring suit, and a new recipe-Mother Maxwell's dietetic whipped cream. Phyllis Burnett, dietician at Haviland's Home for the Happy Hypochondriac, writes about her fascinating experiences. At the bottom is the advice to the lovelorn column written by the celebrated psychologist, Iris Cornelius. Today she answers a letter cryptically signed Liz asking, How can I combine math and agriculture, my two ambitions? Dr. Cornelius's comment: Take up politics. Opposite this is the theatrical and literary section. Drama critic Anita Dickhuth, has given rave reviews to Kay Memelsdorff's new play, The Lady'r N ot For Real, starring Catherine Burton. The publishing firm of Simon Simons 8: Simons is including on their summer book list A. Dare Willis' Nature and How to Enjoy It and Novel Writing Made Eary by Alice Cooper. Suzanne McClain's corpr de ballet, with neo-functional sets by Linda Rahl, is receiving wide acclaim. Our heroine allows a smile of glee to cover her face as she avidly peruses Monique Schumacher's column, ANTI-SOCIAL NOTES FROM ALL OVER. Excerpts: Readers, dig this: International 'escapader', Najia Elmandjra, has been caught entering the country illegally for the 17th time. Destination-Ohio . . . We hear the younger set is going ape over their current diversion, work camping in outer Mongolia, headed by Rosalind Williams and Kurt Anschel . . . Mid-western banker, Richard Meredith, is being in- vestigated for allowing accountant Jack Wiesel to invest bank funds in a wine company. Rumor has it, the company in question, Goldenwine, is using synthetic grapes developed by scientist Nancy Stewart . . . The latest rage in the night clubs is Winsome Winnie Jordan, singing in ten languages . . Sports headlines next attract her. FISH BERLIN SWIMS CHANNEL-LENGTI-L WISE.
