Dedication For many years, Ruth Craig, your spirit has been a blessing to Oak- wood. 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
