It is here we have learned to work with others and experience the joy of mutual success. In the classroom we have been ollered the opportunity to learn freely. Under the guidance of our instructors, each of us has found in one or more fields an intellectual interest which we hope to develop in college. From team spirit on the hockey Held and basketball court has sprung a lasting sense of comradeship and cooperation. We shall never forget the challenge of Orange and Gray competition, Greek Games, and calisthenics. Because of our school standard of honor, we have come to realize that integrity, both in class and in our personal relationships, comes from within each of us. Through the development of a sense of responsi- bility on the part of each one of us, we hope to have gained much in self- discipline and self-guidance. In remembering Oxford we shall think of full happy years, years ol' learning, of dances, plays, and of sports. Above all, we feel that, although ul Oxford we may leave behind many friends, we shall be able to meet our world with confidence and with liberal minds.

Her athletic abilities were immediately evident in hockey, and her able stiekwork has always been a val- uable asset both to our class and to the Orange Team. Kentsy's knack for languages made her a member ol Spanish Club in junior year, and of Salon Franeais in senior year. She consequently became one of the unfortunate people over whom the presidents ol these two clubs fought when both had . planned a meeting on the same day. Kentsy's senior year also found her one ol' the lounge's most ardent bridge players, one of those who would do any- thing to get in a game at any time. Wle will miss Kentsy's pleasant ways, and also that wonderful little red Car of unlimited capacity. f l LOIS CAMPAINE After much debate internal, I . . . decide IN freshman year, Lois came to Oxford destined for an illustrious career. Her agility and coordination soon gained her the ofhce of Gray Class Captain during freshman and sophomore years, and a membership in Dance Club, of which she was elected President in her junior year. Lois had always displayed executive ability, and through junior and senior years she made a patient but efficient shepherd to lead the.lost sheep of 1947 as Class President. Her work in Dramatic Class was rewarded in senior year by membership in Paint and Putty. Even with all these activities, Lois stayed on the Honor Roll continu- ally, and was appointed to Chat Literary Board senior year. She is also one of the French-speaking members of Salon Francais. Lois is remarkably versa- tile, but, despite her talents, she is modesty itself. px 'LE K-Ru- -':, Alf'-l-hMw+blgso-Num So J'm:LxMD-fd: - 2 LNB Lsux i laewsomwmtuuhuw doc.-Hu,t.4.ut.,,hA as mm t-XOWM 20 -WML usb Acaxm S0 ' multi Kd K mmm Lu ua,-.txt S195 podlli lv- bq.r.HvAl U WV' auatmx ws.

In her junior year she was elected Class Captain, and she became a member of Dance Club and the Dramatic Class. Nancy also served on the Formal Dance Com- . mittee and was a stern but understanding proctor in her first year at Oxford. an Her senior year found her the Treasurer of O.S.A., a member of Athletic Council, Paint and Putty Production Board, and Salon Francais. As soon as the weather permitted, Nancy spent her weekends basking in the sun a Madison and returned to school with a beautiful tan, the envy of us all. Aggvxal good student and a good friend, Nancy will always find warm friends around her. K 0 .,.

At first she seemed quite reticent in strange surroundings, but this shyness soon vanished, and we found her an interesting and dryly humorous classmate. Shirley keeps her serious pianoaplaying ability a secret, but occasionally will delight us with her rendition of Chopsticks. Her musical talent also extends to Clee Club and Chapel Choir, where she staunchly supports the wavering alto section. In her junior year Shirley joined Salon Francais to become its Secretary this year. During senior year she was also elected Class Secretary. Her perseverance earned her a position on Athletic Council. Shirley is the envy of our class for her frequent visits to New York City and her page-boy bob which defies wind, rain ,and calisthenics. t bool - C4 l C TRACY FOSS Yes, how time flies when one is tlzoroughly enjoying oneself SOPHoMoRl-: year brought us Tracy, who, through her artistic talent as well as her jolly disposition, has become one of the illustrious members of the class. Her wonderful ability in art has won her the position of Art Editor of Chat this year. However, her capabilities do not end here, for in her senior year she became a member of Paint and Putty Production Board, where her indus- try is unparalleled. She turned to acting in junior year, and, as a member of the Dramatics Class, gave some good performances. Tracy is always delighted when winter comes, for then she can indulge in her favorite sport, skiing. A cheerful, friendly companion, and an excellent artist, Tracy will find success wherever she goes. . CLAIRE GAMILRDINGILR I am always pleased with 6'I7I?7'yflIl7'1gn IN freshman year Claire entered the class of f47, and at that time was elected our Vice-President. She became a member of Dance Group and in junior year was received into Dance Club. In her sophomore and junior years she spurred us on to an undisputed victory in the VVar Bond Campaign as class representative. This year she has ably lcd the Orange Team as its Captain. She has also frequently been seen moving scenery backstage as a member of the Production Board of Paint and Putty. She is active in sports. especially swimming, skating, sunbathing, and eating! Claire has added much to our class enjoyment by her spirit, laughter, and continual good humor. 'bo' Sammi .

X'Vhen a junior, Betty was initiated into Salon Franeais, and, in senior year, lull ol new, not to say amusing suggestions, she was one of its ll10St active members. She was also on the staff of Chat's Literary Board. Betty's athletic abilities always aided our class team, and strengthened sev- eral varsities. As our senior Class Captain, she spurred 21 non-athletic class on to amazing victories. X'Ve will always remember her as the girl who saved our face in senior hockey.

O You of laughter, gaiety, and warmth, You cannot move me as I would be moved. I am dazed, yet thrilled By Autumn's wild, unhappy beauties- His bitter, chilling breathg His cloak of harsh, dead brown, Bent over with the wind-wracked, moaning trees, Lamenting once again the ravages of Death, His gloomy, battered brow, Overhung with soft gray - soft And cold as frozen steel, His hard, gray eyes whose sullen gleam Makes fall the weary grass on weary earth. O You of storm, of sorrow, and of cold, You move me as I would be moved. ORPHEUS HARRIET ROBINSON, Class IX Sweet music floats o'er Greece, Orpheus, with his lyre, Is wandering through the fields, Through swamp and woodland mire. His notes caress Each leafy bough Bent low to hear The drifting sound - that now, Is only echoed, soft and low, As Orpheus wanders, deep in woe. THE HOUSE Lois CAMi'A1Nr1, Class X11 It was an old building, built without any sense of proportion, graying with age, somber and dreary. One large gable protruded to the side, and the sloping roof formed a triangle half way down the front. The wood, once stained brown, looked weather worn, as though wearied of presenting a proud face to the critical world. just below the overhanging roof were small gingerbread decorations, remembrances of the days when tl1e fading house was fresh and glad to be seen, of the time when the walls stood erect, not sagging with age, and the windows glistened with life. The chimney bricks crumbled while waiting for the old-fashioned hickory fires to send their warmth up the Hue once more. And the large oak door hung tired on its hinge, ereaking with tl1e weariness when it opened. As the little house stood shamefaced and shabby, the night came silently on. The sky grew grayg gray leaden clouds smothered the moon. Then the snow noiselessly started sinking to the ground. While nature accomplished the transformation of l1er world, the house changed also. Against the metal- colored expanse it became a rich, deep brown. Its silhouette drew sharper lines which seemed to rise up tall and young. The broken lattice window shone yellow with the light of warmth and life as the snow-flakes floated frosty white against tl1e new proud outline. The little house had been trans- formed. The crudeness of its lines, the mellowness of age had all been blended by this silent night into a thing of beauty. AWAY FROM THE CROWD CAROL SIMPKINA, Class XII Once on a hill there sat a child, Alone, away from the crowd.. They stood and stared at Casting wordsas sharp as stone. Oh you, who sit on the hill, Come down and do as we. What is there in that broad expanse That holds your eye and makes you glow? Come down, we say, knowledge waits below. But the boy with windswept hair Heard l10t their cries of demand, For he saw in the clouds a new land, He heard in tl1e wind a new song, And he smiled, he dreamed, there alone. THE WARNING ELIZABETH BRAINARD, Class XI The waves are rolling, heavy. Night falls black about the sea That roars a warning, dull and somber, That pounds an unseen shore. Is that a bell or just the wind? Reefs ahead, near but faint, A clanging rings out warning. The wind vvhirls 'round And shifts its feet. A dancing bell replies. Treacherous wind that turns again And mocks all living things, Where now is danger? Jagged rocks Lie in the darkness, waiting. THE FOG MARY SAGE, Class VII Gracefully the fog comes in, Floating over the waves, Hiding every lonely boat, In its robe of gray. HARMONY JUDITI-I WELD, Class XII Melodious waves a dreamy rhythm beat, And deep beneath, shells echo and repeat. A gypsy wind on tiptoe saunters by And drives the trees to madness with her sigh. The thunder children drop their giant blocks Each mountain sways and every pebble rocks. Incessant grows the throb of tumbling rain As each drop thuds, never to rise again. All these varied instruments rehearse The ancient music of the universe. ON SCHOOL DRAMATICS Bi3T'rx' INCH, Class X11 The success of a play depends largely upon the elfort of both the per- formers and the audience. In the case of school productions neither group is especially tolerant. The player has no sympathy for the play, and the audience has no sympathy for either the play or the player. Examine, for example, plays presented by eighth grade dramatic classes. These actors have outgrown the precocity that was previously relied upon to make perform- ances entertaining. The awkwardness of their long bones, which reveals itself clearly on the stage, now prevents them from being stately lady or suave, dashing hero. How many times has the Queen tripped up the throne steps, or the knight stumbled on his sword? The actors at this age seem perfectly obtuse to the emotions of the persons whom they portray. Their speeches, no matter how dramatic, are delivered in a phlegmatic monotone with the vitality of a run-down phonograph. A messenger rushes on to announce the enemy's approach or the king's murder with the same enthusiasm with which he would give a report on the weather. A pause in some tense, dramatic scene, while, with pleading eye, forgetful actor looks to the prompter for support, is an ever-recurring incident in these plays. Meanwhile, the remaining characters must stand by helplessly with horror-stricken faces. The performer frequently looks at the ceiling while addressing another, for he finds it a great help in recalling lines. Thus Shakespeare often becomes farce in the hands of our well-meaning players. An audience of the actors' school chums influences greatly the interpre- tation of a play, and such an audience proves most critical. The classmate who sneaks on stage in tights and bloomers meets a tremendous ovation of laughter and stands, self-consciously, with knees visibly shaking. No matter how serious a part the class-joker may have, his every speech is found amus- ing. And some performers are raised to stardom by one speech. Such was the case of an Indian in a recent production. He entered, uttered an inspired Ugh , and made his exit, upon which he was vigorously applauded. No school program would be complete without these plays, which, although extremely amateur, are thoroughly enjoyable. MASQUERADE MARQIA BOURN, Class X Wl1en late December breathed upon the brook And rubbed the frosty pools until they shone, The birches, clad in shimmering silver gowns, Their faces veiled with folds of whitest lace, Like slender maidens proudly bent to see Their iinery reflected in the glass. The elm, the queen of trees, stood haughtily, Her slender fingers hung with icy jewels That blazed with spectrum colors in the sun, 1 And, loosening, fell cascading on the snow W'ith tinkling sounds like tiny silver bells. Stout pines were swaying clumsily with boughs Stooped with the weight of trailing erniine robes, While fence posts, hand in hand, like regiments Of snowy-crested knights marched through the helds RETURN RosAMoNn STL1'HENsoN, Class XII Lead me back to the land, and tell me it is mine. Give me plow and seed, and I shall tend my vine And reap my harvest there, Nor care, though water be my wine. Let the roots lie deep andstretch below, below, To claim the soil, repay my toil, andvgrow. i ' ' I would know the joy of gambling with the rain, With sun, with soil, would know the pain Of loss, that shabby guest, Then test the meat of honest gain. I shall harbor plenty, I shall count my hoard, Then reap sweet sleep, and this my just reward. THE CLOCK SARAH W1NsLow, Class V11 She races round. round - the clock. All her steps go tick, tock. The minute hand gets nowhere last, And many minutes she has passed. Onward, onward, the hour-hand goes. Will it stop? No one knows. Slowly, slowly, hours do pass, Peeping from beneath the glass. THIS QUEST IS NOT FOR THEE CORDELIA CREAMER, Class XI Dazzled by Glory, W'e swim for the Light, Blinded by Glory, Not ready to Hght. Hall-way exhausted, 'Twas madness to start, Half-way we turn lVith the fear ofa hart. lVe cannot go forward, lfVe cannot go back , ' . YVe abandoned our course, 1 I 1 ' Is it courage we lack? Vlfater surrounds us, Xvater confounds us, Pounded by water, W'e reach for the land. Winds roar around us, Continue to hound us, VVhat can we do? lVe are lost from His hand.
