8 THE 1939 OAK LEAF CLASS OF ' 39 VERSUS ANYTHING FIRST QUARTER, 1935-36 With the usual nervousness at the kick-oil, we pulled several boners as if we didn’t know how to play. Our team soon learned all the tricks under the guidance of the monster “Upperclassmen.” Although there is little evidence of the fact, it is said we learned a little English, His- tory, Science, and Arithmetic. SECOND QUARTER, 1936-37 Well, at least we are not the smallest catfish in the sea. The upper- classmen aren’t such monsters as they used to be and we even try to he tough (to the Freshmen). Coach Faculty is experimenting with a play called the “New Curriculum.” Also a moving picture machine with sound and all the trimmings is sent in the game to bombard our op- ponents. THIRD QUARTER, 1937-38 We go into the second half feeling very confident and a little more serious about the whole game. It is recognized that the team has on it a few stars when they are elected as officers and begin to compete more in athletic and literary contests. Then a blow is dealt when we arise one Sunday morning and dress in half our Sunday best to see the gym- nasium and auditorium destroyed. This fire was not as disastrous as it may sound for out of the ruins a bigger and more beautiful audi- torium has been built. But then for half the quarter the lack of these two, which are always well used, helped to keep us from the goal line. FOURTH QUARTER, 1938-39 There is only one more line to cross, hut many are not in such a hurry to cross, as they were in the beginning. They are prone to wonder what will happen when this game is over. We try to become verv dignified hut find it does not pay. With more and more responsi- bilities we realize that, which we have envied in days before. The Juniors were most gracious hosts and gave us quite a pleasant evening at the Junior-Senior Banquet. During these four quarters a great many changes have taken place. Some of them are: New superintendent. Eagle, two new Eagles, new auditorium and gymnasium, a Hock of new teachers, and a picture machine. It is nearing the end id the game, so let us take this opportunity to give Coach Faculty our sincerest appre- ciation for helping us on our way and to wish the rest of tin squad as happy a time as we had. p y
