Coached by Bill Cham- bers, Oberlin High School battled its way to the state championship in 1899 in foot- ball. Dr e s s e d in turtle-neck sweaters, with no helmets to protect their pates, the team played a he-man game. With L. VV. Cheney as cap- tain and E.

'M Cover of 1900 Annual Ullla In the late spring of 1900, a book with a cover about the size of a Popular Science Magazine to- day, bound in red pasteboard with a back strip of blue, made its initial ap- pearance in Oberlin. Fifty years later, we find this book, not only a memorial to the initiative and drive of the class of 1900, but also a storehouse of infor- mation about our elders.

EFORE 1900, Oberlin High School had no year book. The first annual carried the following introduction: For the first time an Annual has made its appearance in the Oberlin High School. It is hoped that through it may be shown a new phase of our school life, that will recall to the mind of the reader the numerous pleasantries and humorous incidents of the year, and at the same time show work of a more solid character. That it will serve to make us better acquainted with one an- other, and in the future enable us to recall with more vivid- ness and pleasure the incidents of our High School life. Thanking all who have assisted us in the undertaking, we present you, kind reader, the first edition of the Oberlin High School Annual.
