High school life at best is passing Gliding swiftly by. Let us pledge in word and deed Our love for Oxford High. Far across Life's mighty ocean To thee with loyal hearts we raise, Sturdy stands our firm devotion Swelling to Heaven, loud our praise. When the years have hurried o'er us, When all our strivings cease, While our hopes still shine before us, We'll think of thee in peace. Alma Mater, Alma Mater, Following knowledge beyond the skies Oxford's light will clearly glow, Sealed by friendship's ties. 2 FOREWURD Those who take part in any dramatic production are always busy on closing night collecting souvenirs, programs, and signatures of friends-things that will bring back to them in later years the excitement, gaiety, hard work-yes, even anxiety and disappoint- ments of life on the stage. This book is meant to be the most important souvenir of all, containing within its covers printed memories for years to come, and casting the spotlight on the finale!! THE ED1ToRs 5 WE DEDICATE l CHARLES F. COATES To Mr. Coates, for being Mr. Coatesg an excellent teacher, a pleasing personality, and a true friend. Mr. Coates's classes are a constant cause of merriment because of his witticisms and the arguments that are usually flying hack and forth. He is one teacher who makes learning completely painless! He has always been on our side through all our high school years and we consider our- selves lucky to have had him for a teacher and a friend. We call Mr. Coates an all-round good fellow. 4 OUR KER EL CHARLES W. LEIB To Mr. Leib, for being Mr. Leib-a superb teacher, a sparkling personality, and a loyal friend. Mr. Leib's infinite patience has always been a source of wonder to us. His ability to keep the students completely engrossed in the work at hand is remarkable. As a personality, he is tops. His sense of humor and friendly disposition have made him well-liked by everyone. Mr. Leib will always command our admiration and respect. 5 THE O. H. S.

You will then find yourselves a disbanded group, going here and there to take your part on the stage of life's activities-citizens in a great democracy. As you go forth, to join other alumni, you take with you my personal best wishes-and I am sure you have the best wishes of all your other teachers-for success in that work for which you think you are best suited. In addition to extending my best wishes for your .rucce.r.r, I have chosen to say a few words to you on its attainment using some positive powers of character building that began with the letters which are 1, 9, 4, 9 from the beginning of the alphabet- A, I, D, I. In this important assignment of making progress in the work for which you think you are best suited, I am reminded of the sign post which the tourist saw where some highwa construction began. It read, Choose your rut carefully. You will be in it for tliie next 25 milesf, Your planning determines the groove, the path, the road of the future. It is most important that you take an aim in life. Having taken aim, become a person of inL'zfiaiive and aggressively and persistently pursue the goal until it has been realized. You will not go very far without deferminalion and indu.nfrz'ou.rne.f.r. The poet has summarized the thought in these lines: Y ou can do whatever you ilzink you can, IFJ all in ihe way you view if.

And now we find ourselves in the last act of our high school life, with the curtain about to come down. In the opening scenes we were novices-stage hands, not yet ready for bit parts. But the drama moved forward until we achieved Hrst, walk-on partsg then, one-line speechesg then, understudies, and now, finally stardom!! Li htsl Curtainl Action! For twelve years we have been struggling to master one part of the play entitled Life. In the year 1957, we starteda new phase of that play. As we entered the first grade, things were much the same, and we had only begun our work on the play. For eight years we were merely stage hands, watching, and listening, trying to learn and prepare ourselves for the time when we would take over the stage. Finally in 1946 we really ot a taste of the drama. A walk-on part was a wonderful and new exper- ience to us. As Freshmen in Izigh school we were quite happy. Initiation, new friends, new subjects, and, of course, lots of fun, along with hard work, started our feet down the road to success. The first big event after the heartbreak of those first report cards was our Freshman Party. Hallowe'en was the setting for this gala event. The spookie atmosphere and friendly faces of our newly made friends help- ed us to forget our fears of the dance floor. Do you remember Ierry of Ierico Road? Sparkling songs, gay costumes and hilarious dialogue will bg-ing back to many of us our small but important part, for we were the backbone of the operetta- t e c orus. Many did not make the grade, but those who did were then ready for their second tpart-one-line speeches. In our Sophomore year we learned a little more about the great part we woul have to play after our training days. That I-year was made up of more important affairs, but we believe the most important was the Sophomore op. A great Christmas tree trimmed in beautiful lights, mistletoe, and evergreens helped to make it a huge success, and, of course, we must not forget Santa and his grand march. In April of that year we took a tri to the Art Museum in Philadelphia, under the uidance of some of our teachers. A few of our athleticarfly inclined boys forgot that they were mere stuints and not yet stars. So these rebellious little athletes went to see a ball game at Shibe Park. It was a long walk home wasn't it, boys? We didn't let the weather interfere with our plans that year. If you will recall, we all enjoyed that hayride in the April Showers. To end our second year in high school a hot dog roast was held at Belbank. Although the hot dogs were half cooked and the marshmellows burnt, we can't forget the fun we had playing games and getting lost. A promotion was in store for those who had worked hard, and we were then ready for understudy parts. Our third year in high school was no easy task, but we tried to put our fears behind us and think of all the fun we would have. We started out by having a Skating Party, which everyone enjoyed. 1948 could mean but one thing for our girls. Yes, that was the time to leave your shyness behind and o after Iyour manl We,. the Iuniors, then sponsored a Leap-Year Dance, the purpose of it being to get time coup es and prospective couples together for that Big Date! In the Spring a young man's fancy turns to love, as.they say, but our hearts were interested only in the preparation for the thrill that comes in every Iun1or's lifefthe Iunior Prom. Again we were hindered by rain, but this didn't stop us from having a wonderful time. It was also during that Spring that we got our class rings, and by that time we were beginning to feel that we were nearing our fina high school performance. We have, at last, reached the highest place in our high school life--Seniors and Starsl This is the last year, but not by far, the least in importance. Dances, games, plays and, of course, work and tests. Our time this ear has been filled with activities. Our year book, our Senior play, the class trip to Wash- ington, Baccalaureate, Class Night and Commencement, and finally the Banquet and Senior Dance. These are the highlights of our last act in high school life. So, we, now stars of our own life and play, look back to o-ur first iyears of learning. There were joys and sorrows, tears and laughter. We re ret none of our experiences, or, although the struggle was hard, and the road to ustardom' steep, we feel that our play was produced, in the end, with a sincere ambition to reach our utmost oals. We want to thank our directors, counselors, and friends for helping the Class of '49 to achieve SUCTI success. Lots of fun and also lots of hard work have guided our feet. We hope that they will do the same in the future. M. E. R. 14 CLASS MOTTO Noi af the lop, buf climlzingf' CLASS COLORS CLASS FLOWER Scarlet and Gray Yellow Rowe CLASS POEM The curtains fall, the drama is o'er, Act Two is finished, but we still have more, High school life has come to an end, And we must say good-by to many a friend. Gee, we had fun, this class of '49- In every sport you'd see our boys shine. One year the bottom, the next year the top, But our stars', kept on fighting, and did not stop. While we worked and studied to learn our play, There were dances and parties to brighten the way. The music and flowers, the gaiety bright 5 Helped Act Two to turn out just right. Work and study were aims these four years, And Act Two was full of many laughs and tears. But now we'll work harder, as you can see, For we are stars, and to our life hold the key. From stage hands to stars we've traveled a long way, And what happens next is our decision today. For we can not stop working if we want to attain A strong, unselfish happiness that will always remain. -MARGARET REBURN 15 CLASS OFFICE RS Prarident .... ....

They have helped to make our Senior year the best and most exciting year of all with dances, a skating party and a hot dog roast. Such lively people ust naturally keep us all on our toes! With the greatest cooperation they worked on our yearbook, and even the most complicated tasks-ordering name cards, commencement gowns and invitations-were done with the greatest of ease. Responsible and lots of fun-that's Dave, Frannie, Wayne, and Ike. 16 JEAN ELIZABETH ALEXANDER Jean Home Economlcof Iean is a tall slim girl with li ht brown hair and eyes to match. She has been with us well nigh onto twelve ears and has contributed much to our lliockey team as a full back. Soon Iean will be a Number Please girl. ALBIN WAYNE BALDWIN Wayne dcademlc Wayne, our dependable treasurer, came to us in his Freshman year. His neatness and politeness have been an asset to our class. This good-looking lad is much interested in our KERNEL, especially its editor. His scientific ability will further his career in his chosen field of aviation. To him we wish all the success in the world. MARY IEANETTE ASTLE Hilary Commercial Do you have your lessons done? That's Mary's greeting every morning. Seriously though, she is a very likable, dependable girl, and we're sure she will make a successful secretary. Mary plans to 0 to Beacom next year. Lots of luci, Mary. VIVIAN LORRAINE BEACH Larry Home Economica' Lorraine ranks among our best dancers and seems to keep up with all the latest steps. She is a star basket- ball player and has helped to win many a victory for O. H. S. Although she does not know what the future holds tor her, we wish her the best of every- thing. JANE MARIE BAILY Jane Commercial Full of vim, vigor, and vitalit . Iane, the captain of our cheerleadbers rates A-I in personality. Her contag- ious giggle and her athletic ability have helped to make her one of the most popular girls of our class. We wish her success in the stenographic field. ETTA IEAN BISHOP Ella Jean Commercial Etta Iean is one of the less serious minded girls of our class. Her sense of humor and cheerful disposition will help her to make friends out of school as she has already made at O. H. S. Like a lot of others, Etta Iean's future is undecided. 17 MARIORIE DORIS BROOMELL ROBERT MARION BROWN JAMES RILEY BURKE .flIargie Commercial Margie is a friendly girl with a uiet manner. She is the envy of all 518 Senior girls of O. H. S.-why'l-- because she is Mr. Neff's secretary. Margie is headed for the steno- graphic field and we wish her luck. MARIAN RUTH BURKE Si.r.ry Home Economiar Ruth came to us in the ninth grade from Nottingham, but we know little about her. Her neatness and friendli- ness will be an asset to her in the future. Her main interest is Dave. She, Wanda, and Martha are always seen laughing over a private joke. Brownie Academic Brownie never seems to take things seriously, and it is an everyday occurrance to see him sauntering into his first hour class about 9:15. lt's quite odd, since he lives only twent fee,t from the school. Don't you thini so. EVELYN NINA COCHRAN Evelyn Commercial They say that Falling in Love is Wonderful, and who would know better than Evelyn? Although her main in- terest lies outside school, it doesn't interfere with her school activities. Her sincere interest in the HO. H. S. Broadcaster shows this. Evelyn is a swell friend and her pleasant disposition will aid her in the stenographic field. Jim dgricu llure lim is one of the tallest boys of our class. llis outstanding characteristic is his deep voice which can be heard in the back of the main room mumbling about something. Iim is not always on time, especially when he has to catch the school bus. His future is not yet certain. But he thinks he will enter the service of our country. GEORGE STEPHEN COCHRAN I3aa'afy Commercial Buddy can usually be found clown- ing around, never taking anything too seriously. His greatest joy is in teasing the girls of the class. We mi ht Say he likes to Hpla the dozens. Serious- ly though, Budily is quite an athlete. Baseball, soccer, and basketballAhe took part in all of them. Happiness will surely await this boy, for he can overcome his troubles with his happy- go-lucky personality. 18 lg V had 'Berg '-af THOMAS TAYLOR DAWSON Tommy lgrlcu ltare Hail to a future farmer otiAmerica. Tommy, this tall, dark, wavy haired boy, joined us in his Freshman ear, and seemed to make quite a hit with the girls. We are confident that he will be successful in his chosen field of agriculture. WALTER JOSEPH DRUMMOND ' 'Fleelllnen Gen eral Walt is our speed demon. When ou see him zooming down the street, look outl Fords, Plymouths, Dodges, he's tried them all, but none of them seem to last-we wonder whyl His good looks and neat appearance are onl a few of his assets. Walt is a willing worker for our class activities, too. 1 I E 1 5 DOROTHY ANN DIEM Dorollz.y Commercial If or when you need a friend call on Dorothy, for she is always ready to help you. Her neatness and pleasing personality make her welcome where- ever she goes. Guess what Dorothy fvaits to be-a horticulturistl-good uc . EDITH ELIZABETH DUNFEE ' 'Edlllf' Commercial Powder Your Face With Sunshine, or should we say, use powder Polls Edith's spare time is spent working in the Five and Ten. Besides taking her lessons seriously, she is musically in- clined. Her future is debatable- marriage or career??? IOYCE ANNE DONNELLY Joyce Commercial Dark eyes, quiet, and meek voice- that's our description of Joyce. She is neat, mannerly and liked by all. Ioyce will be an outstanding secretary in any ollice. WILLIAM HERVEY DUTTON Bill zfgrlcu llure Bill is one of those boys with a ready smile and a friendly manner. His quiet way is deceiving for we, his classmates, have found him to be quite the opposite. We wish him lots of luck in the future. 19 CAROL JEAN EDWARDS VERA SUE EDWARDS HILDA ERMA ENGLAND Jean Commercial Sue Commercial Penny Home Economicf Coming to us in her Sophomore year from Downingtown, lean has giv- en us the impression of being a jolly good fellow. Her ambition is to become a beautician. Her interests lie outside of school. Did you say Yarnall? ROBERT MORRIS ESHLEMAN Bob Commercial Bob is the bo with the he-man build and he really attracts the girls, too. He is far from bein slow as we can see by his driving. Wierever he is, there is always plenty of excitement in store, and we can easily guess that he will have an exciting career. Sue is a non-typical girl-she's dif- ferent. She doesn't tallil Can you imagine tl'1at?'l a girl who d0esn't talk? Aside from all this, she is a good com- mercial student and plans to go to business school in the future. Good luck, Sue. KATHRYN INEZ HARDY Ki!Ly,' Home Economica' Kathryn is a quiet miss, but very industrious and cooperative. Her ability to get her work done, her neatness, and her friendliness will aid in her chosen profession of nursing. Hilda has big brown eyes that are constantly smiling. Her friendliness and sunny disposition can brighten the dullest day. Her main interest lies outside of school-we hear l'1e's in Connecticut. Good luck. KENNETH E. HARDY Ken Agriculture Neat, friendly, and a smile for every- one. Kenneth plans to spend his fu- ture in the Merchant Marines. We know our countr will greatly improve with him doing liiis bit for Uncle Saml 20 CHESTER ARTHUR HARRISON Char Algricullurc Ches is one of our future farmers. He came to us in his Freshman year. He and Iake and Iim can always be seen in the back of the main room at noontime busily talking. We do hope that he will be a successful farmer. FRANCES ESTELLE IANNEY Frannie Commercial Hair of Gold, Eyes of Blue, that describes our Fx-anniei' to you. Our cute little vice-president is one of the most popular girls of our class. Cheer- leading is only one of the many acti- vities in which she excels. Lucky is the boss who has Fr:-1nnie sitting on his knee. DAVID STEWART HOWELL SIcwarf dgricullure Stewart has a shy grin that seems to match his personality. He is a lik- able, friendly boy who is always read for a good time. We sincerely wislii him the best of everything, for he has been a wonderful classmate. HELEN CHRISTINE KEITH Helen Home Econamiar Although Helen does not talk much, she is a wonderful friend.

Ile can't seem to get enough speed out of his carfthat's those Fords for youl He also has quite an interest in the young ladies. We know this husky man will succeed as a mechanic.

'J 'I -H TRUMAN HUSTON MCCLEARY Truman Jcazlcmic Anything for an argument, well, that's Truman. If you have ever been in a P.O.D. class, you will know exactly what we mean.

SOMETHING OLD Our class tripl-A tradition of the Seniors of O.H.S. which has been followed for many years is to visit Washington for two or three days in May. And the class of '49 was no different. We went, tool After many great expectations and, of course, the last-minute rush, forty-three of us took off at 8 A.M. on May 18 from Elkton in our special car on the Pennsy. Mrs. Margaret P. Hindman and Mr. Norman L. Reynolds accompanied us as chaperones. CThey took their patience and good nature along.j We arrived about ten o'clock and had the rest of that day plus the next two for sight-seeing. Mr. Iohn Good, guide for the Penn- sylvania Railroad who has ably served in this capacity for most of the other Senior classes of Oxford High School, greatly increased our pleasure in 'the trip. On Wednesday we visited the Supreme Court, the Capitol, the National Gallery of Art, and the F.B.I.g Thursday, Arlington, Alexandria, and Mt. Vernon g Friday, the Smithsonian Institute and the zoo. Happily for us, we still had forty-three in our crowd when we left the zool Friday afternoon we returned, ready and eager to sleep the rest of the week-end. SOMETHING NEW Our class has been privileged to see completed, in fact, to help complete, what is probably one of the largest projects undertaken in Oxford's history-the Memorial Athletic Field. It is a dehnite step in our ever-expanding school program. With this athletic field, Oxford will be equipped with one of the best in Chester County. All the major school sports will take place on this field with seats for approximately five hundred spectators. There is also the possibility of setting up a track in years to come. The grandstand was donated in behalf of Mrs. Ann R. Andrews who for a number of years was co-publisher of the Oxford News and very much interested in all community activities, particularly those in which the young people took part. Mrs. Andrews took great pride in the fact that her family had always been connected with the several wars by which the nation was formed and saved. It would be great gratification to her to know that Oxford, through its Public School, has seen Ht to do especial honor to its heroes in creating one of the finest memorial fields that is to be found anywhere. 53 31652 Qgmvj magma mjzaa wig :S mm0g-emma :mam jo: Ogmc an mmnaemom S554 wo 02-Um 5-gmc!

Of course it rained the last night and the curtain boys missed their cue, but everyone in both the cast and audience had fun. KERNEL editor elected-poor kid! Why was everybody smiling? Thanksgiving vacation, naturally! Horrors! How these tests creep up on us. The Sophomore Hop was wonderful-and such pretty decora- tions. The Seniors decked out the main room in green and red streamers and a Christmas tree. Janet worked on the board decorations. The sleet storm. Remember?

They're beautiful! Whatts this? A disease set in among us? Mr. Coates claims it's Senioritis!!! Could it be that getting measured for Commence- ment gowns caused it?

Well, boy, do I ever have the news to tell you! How have you been, Alice? You say you have a lot of news? Well, let's have it. Well, it all began this way: The other day I was up town in one of the Blue and White restaurants-you know the one that Dick and Dot Sims own, and I just happened to hear, by accident of course, that Marcella Lloyd and Puff Moore were running a Cream Puffl' and Celly Lloyd doll factory. Can you imagine that? And guess what else I overheard?-that Walter Drummond is still trading cars and women! Poor boy, it certainly is a shame he can't find a suitable mate. Talking about suitable mates, do you get that new newspaper called Newwie New.r.7 Well, I do, and I was looking at the society page the other day g I just have to tell you all the people that have got marriedf, By all means Mary, tell me all about itg I'm all ears. Well, do you remember Evelyn Cochran and Marilyn Whiteside? They are Mrs. Robert Vaughn and Mrs. Ike Smith respectively. Truman McCleary and Betty Wright got married and live on a beautiful big farm out in the country. Wayne Bald- win and Ann Rhodewalt have now become one. Wayne is an aviator you know, and Ann is a math teacher. Snoon Winterbottom and Ianet Taylor finally got together. Ianet is now a nurse and OH WELL! you know Snoon. Dorothy Diem finally landed her man. She's Mrs. Dick Drummond now. Bob Brown and Ioyce Reed followed the crowd. Bob is manager of a great basketball team and Ioyce is a devoted housewife. You know the girl whose name used to be Ioyce Donnelly? Well, she had it changed to Mrs. Milt Edwards. Bob Eshleman has been living happily ever afteru because he not only landed a wife but a big farm as well. Iean Edwards' new name is Mrs. Hoopes Yarnall. Ralph Purcell and Al Powell both got married,-not to each other of course. Edith Dunfee is now Mrs. Ioe Pofff' 'i Can you imagine that, Mary? Iust look at all those kids that got married. Well, it certainly is nice to know that someone is having a lot of luck. Well, what else did you hear, Alice? You know Vivian O,Connor really has a life of ease. All she does is travel around the world. The other day, when she was out West, she visited two of her old schoolmates. You remember Hazel Lightcapg she went to the land of her dreams- Mexico. Peggy Reburn is in California. She knows almost all the movie stars since she owns the night club where most of them dine. Her main purpose, though, is to find a man. Vivian also went to Florida and saw lane McHenry, Lorraine Beach, Wanda McCall, and Ruth Burke. They are all working down there, you know. Are you getting tired of listening, Mary? I still have a lot to tell you. No, I'm not tired at all, Alice, go ahead. You know I'm always interested in all the newsf' Well, I couldn't seem to make it out very well, because the women I was listening to lowered their voices and I couldn't hear so well, but it seemed as if they said that lane Baily was working at the Baughman Farm Bureau. Did you ever hear of a place called that, Mary?H No, I don't believe I did, but did you know that lean Wilson and Frannie Ianney are the head secretaries at Du Pont's, and that Martha Windle is head typist?,' Is that right? That is really swell. You know there are a lot of other secretaries too: Mary Astle, Etta Iean Bishop, Marjorie Broomell, Sue Edwards, Lois Hudson, Iune Root, Betty Lou Rowland, Annie Siewierski, Ruth Taylor, and Gladys Watson. They all have good jobs and just love to sit on their bosses' knees. 42 Alice, we better hurry and get finished talking. The operators will cut us off soon. No danger of that, Mary. Didn't you know-we have all new telephone opera- tors. Iean Alexander, Polly Wright, and Gertrude Schroder are just as nice as can be 5 they wouldn't think of cutting us off. Well, if that's the case, we can just take our good old time and talk to our hearts' content. What else did you o.verhear in the conversation? Do you ever listen to those new comedians on the radio? Do you know who they are? Clifford and Ernie Pierce! The Todd twins have a radio program too, entitled Guess Who! They also pose for magazines-can you tell which twin has the TONI? Boy, Buddy Cochran is really in the money. He owns a Steel factory. Milly Silverstein is that mathematician we have been hearing so much about. Did you hear about that explosion last week? That was the man who has been doing so much experimenting with chemicals lately-Ben Mason. My goodness Alice, what was that that just went flying low down the road?! Don't you know who that was, Mary? That was Billy Sumner in his new Buick. If he doesn't soon be careful they will have to take it to that big garage on Route 1. Bill Mauldin is the proud owner of it. You know the other day my cat was sick, and I just couldn't figure out which vet to take her to-Dick Williamson or Iames Skerrett. I fooled so much time trying to make up my mind that the poor thing died! Maybe it's just as well. I had to go to the hospital the other day. Guess who my nurses were?-Kay Legge and Kathryn Hardy. I had a radio right in my room. Do you ever listen to any of the baseball games? They really have a star player. I think his name is Dave Williams, or something like that. You know that school teaching has really improved since Mary Elizabeth Paxson, Eileen Windle, and Betty Poole have entered the profession. Betty is a commercial teacher and is making out wonderfully. I also heard that Dotty Weigel is the new manager of Silco and Helen Keith is the man- ager of Gillespie's. Are you still there, Mary? Sure, Alice, go ahead. Do you know who the happy farmers are? They are none other than Thomas Dawson, Bill Dutton, Kenneth Hardy, Chester Harrison, Stewart Howell, and Ted Stetler! And guess what else-Hilda England went all the way back to Connecticut. Iust to see her lover! Well, Mary, that's all I heard because by that time the restaurant was closed and I had to leave. Now let's see-I hope I didn't forget to tell you anything. I guess I'1l go and have my hair set soon. I don't know whom to go to-Dorethea Thompson or Anna Grace Reeves. I hear that they are both good beauticiansf' h: Yes, Alice, they both are good. But whom are you going to leave your children wit . 'Tm having Doris Ann Kirk over. She is really a good governess. Well, I must go now, Mary. I'll see you tomorrow. HO. K., Alice. Thanks a lot for calling and telling me all the news. Be sure to come over tomorrow and tell me anything you forgot-Bye now. H. M. L. 45 HALL PATROL The Hall Patrol, through the Constant help of Mr. Thompson, has been quite effective. This year we tried something a little different. Wve used girls in the absence of the boys, an event which occurred quite Often. The peculiar part about it was that it worked. NVQ, the Patrolmen and Patrolwomen of 1949, wish next year's patrol much success in carrying out its duties.

You guessed it--our Iunior Proml On,May 7, 1948, the BIG DAY, every Iunior was very excited. This was it- the day we had thought would never come. But now it was here-and so was the rain! Th? didn't dampen anyone's spirits-not a bit! After all, the rain was practically a tra itionl During that day not many Iuniors were in school. They came but didn't stay long. One group invaded the Research Club and, with the help of green and white streamers, big green bows, bright red flowers, and white orange blossoms, the Club- house was a changed placel Then they went home to grab a few winks. Others were on hand also-some to fix the very attractive dance cards that were used that night-others to prepare the refreshments-cake, ice cream, and punch. Then home again-and still rainingl Around eight the excitement reached its height when the gals in those dreamy new formals and the guys in their tux entered the Research Club. Soon everyone was dancing to the music of Bill Short and his orchestra. Those on the sidelines were having as much fun watching as the othersl The teachers in the balcony agreed that the dancers made a pretty sight, viewing them through the latticework of green and white streamers. Finally after several happy hours of dancing, the prom was over. Everyone went on his way, some home and some seeking more excitement, and everyone wishing the Seniors good luck! B. I. W. 46 SENIOR PLAY What is more exciting than the opening night ofa great dramatic production? On April 26, about twenty Seniors ofour school were pretty excited. A test? visitor? vacation? No, it was the opening nig tof the Senior Play, Quiet Summer, by Marrijane and Ioseph Hayes. For days we studied our parts, learned our lines, and practiced, until finally the great night came. What suspense back stage-everyone getting in everyone else's way-saying that long speech just one last time-trying to remember that certain cue you always forgot-yes, we were all pretty nervous, and then-the lights were dimmed, the curtains parted and the class of '49 presented the fast-moving, rollicking comedy entitled Quiet Summer. In the story it is summer, and Iames Clark is planning on spending it in peace and serenit . His plans are greatly upset when he discovers that his sister has left her two teen-age children with him. Although he doesn't realize it at first, the kids help him relax, and also help him win the election to the presidency of his country-club, which will later lead to his becoming district attorney.

The initial class activity was a Shmoo Frolic in honor of that lovable little creature which enjoyed such popularity at that time. Nearly as soon as we had taken down the dance decorations, it seemed that scenery was being erected 5 first for the operettag then for the Christmas Tableau. Several members of our class participated in both of these productions and gave really com- mendable performances. During the dreary month of February a young man's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of roller skating. We all enjoyed that first skating party so much that many more excursions were made to the rink by Iuniors. When the Music and Forensic League competition opened, we found several class members participating in both the music and speech contests. The end of the baseball season concluded a big year of sports for Iuniors. The faces of many varsity players can be found in our class picture. Of course, the Iunior Prom was the real climax for everyone. It was a gala affair even though it was also a farewell to the Seniors. We hesitate to use the word farewell because we hope to see and hear much of the class of '49. Good Luck! ONA KAY LEE 55 E . ? Ei. azz. za fr! LO-44?

ELIZABETH MASON The first move of the Sophomore Class, as always, was to elect our class officers. When Operetta time came, several Sophomores were to be found in the chorus, while some had parts in the cast. The big event of the year was the Sophomore Hop, held on December the tenth in the gym. The gym was very attractively decorated with the appropriate decorations for the time of the season. The music was furnished by the West Chester Criterions. Many of the Sophomores also enjoyed a skating party held at the Merryland Roller Rink. Our class has been very well represented in sports this year, with quite a few Sophs on every team. Our homerooms were under the supervision of Mrs. Vaden M. Herrington, Mrs. Margaret Hindman, and Mr. Francis Coates. The Class of 51 wants to wish the Class of 49 all the success and happiness possible. MARY EVANS 55 BEACH, M. BURKE, M. MILLER, S. FISCHEL, L. MAINE, M. LLENS, OO Aucu, S. W SL EYNOLDS, R.

For over a month all the talk at Oxford was about our big event, the Freshman Party, which finally came on November 5, 1948. In Nlarch, 1949, we had another big event, our roller-skating party, which we had at Elkton. Mrs. Smith was kind enough to chaperon us. We were happy to welcome Mr. Schlieder as our new Freshman teacher. We are sorry to see the Seniors leave and we wish them lots of success in every- thing they do. SARA WOOLLENS 57 Fiml Raw: B.
