Jlem OBERLIN, SEPT. 6 - AP - This morning at 8:45, four hundred and twenty students surged into the halls of O. H. S. for the first session of school this year.

Ober- lin went wild as the football team pushed a fa- vored Fairview team to defeat, 38 to 18, tonight. After the previous year in which the team won only one game, the effect on the student body was electric. Every person oozed school spirit. PLEASANT STREET SCHOOL, OCT. 14 - AP - For the first time in over twenty years, the high school had a school-sponsored dance after a game. Under the guidance of the senate and with the sanction of the school board, these dances will be held after games in the fumre. From the re- sponse of the student body, it is cleat that these dances will be a great success. OBERLIN, OCT. 28 - AP -- This evening the seniors had their annual hayride, picnic, and dance. At the appointed time, the mob boarded two wagons covered with hay and set out for the Manns' farm on Oberlin Road. A great quantity of sloppy Joes, donuts, and other food was devoured by the seniors while sitting on benches around a roaring fire. Then the wagons pro- ceeded on the trip. A forced halt was ordered by the County Sheriff to fix the tail-lights which had gone out. By degrees the wagons made their way to the high school where a dance and movies were soon in progress. At length tired seniors trudged home. OBERLIN, NOV. 4 - AP - Tonight the mighty Oberlin Indians went down to a 6 to 0 defeat at the hands of old man winter on a sloppy field of 4 of clammy mud topped by 4 of snow. The brightly uniformed teams soon melted into mud-covered blobs. O. H. S.
