Class History We began our Freshman year in September 1958, with Miss Bull and Mr. Ratzlaff as advisors. We elected Bob Rice as president of the class, Doc Mayhew as vice-president, Mary Weidman as secretary, and Peggy Jones as our treasurer. The one financial program of the year was our class dance. Those in attendance, as well as our class treasury, benefited greatly from this extravaganza. When we started our Sophomore year of 1959, Miss Bull and Mr. Walsh be- came our class advisors for the remainder of our high school years. Jim Hill, president; Doug DeLong, vice-president; Jan Sumida, secretary; and Gloria Franklin, treasurer, were elected. Again our class dance was a successful undertaking. The can-can boys completed our western theme and performed very well. We entered our Junior year of 1960, already anxious to order class rings. Jim Hill, president; Dick Diamond, vice-president: Linda Shepler, secretary; and Dot Bradt, treasurer, were our officers. We ordered our rings early in the fall and received them before Christmas vacation. Selling magazines was our big financial campaign that year. Once again, the class dance netted a profit for us. Our hula boys returned this year and danced for us in the Hawaiian theme. The Junior Prom soon arrived and committees were busy preparing the gym for the best prom ever at Oxford. After much deliberation, lavender and royal purple were chosen for the decoration theme of Twilight Time. The plans and work of everyone turned the Prom into a success. Finally we entered our Senior year--and Room 308! Some seventy Seniors, the largest prospective graduating class in the Academy's history, approached their final year with wonder and great expectations. We elected Doc Mayhew, president; Jim Smith, vice-president; Jan Sumida, secretary; and Bob Rice, treasurer. We chose our Senior play, ROCKET IN HIS POCKET, and presented it on November 21. It was a big success, production-wise and financially. Our senior portraits arrived--for some of us after a delay--and there was the usual exchange. We had our class dance in February, and, again, had fun preparing for it. All of us are anxiously awaiting graduation, but we approach it remembering our years at OACS, and looking forward to the future--work, further education (some forty percent have expressed this desire), the armed forces--and, of course, marriage! 29
