THE OMICRON one, because their work at Oliver is over, they have given their Alma Mater the best within them. Let us turn back the pages of history and see what has happened during their sojourn. They are the first class to graduate from the complete, enlarged David B. Oliver High School. They are, likewise, the first class to have one of their repref sentatives, namely, Bill Burry, take moving pictures of an activity of the school. As a result of Bill's work, pictures of Oliver's 1928 gridders in action were taken, so the school can always remember that memorable date, November 16, 1928, when Oliver met Allegheny and tied them for the championship of the North Side. In athletics they have had an enviable record, starting from the first basketball and swimming team, where we first hear the names of Bo Meals, Bob Roney, and Bill Grant, down to the athletics of this last semester. Here we see added to the list Pete Shaginaw, Frank Jehovic, VJ m. Billock, Joe Kazeva, Dan Scully, John Alston, Wm. Reidenbaugh, and John Schott. Elizabeth Lippert has performed brilliantly on the girl's swimming team, and Elsa-Falk occupied a prominent place on the volley ball team and as track manager. The outstanding figure in the politics of the school has been Pete Shaginaw. Under his supervision the Junior Council went through a very successful season in 1926, and in 1927 he took charge of the Senior Council. And the orchestra! How incomplete would it have been if in it were not included Bill Vaught, Bill Burry, Bill Reidenbaugh, Dan Scully, and Charles Nauman. Bill Vaught's supremacy at the violin and Charles Nauman's at the trombone were shown when they were chosen as Pittsburgh's representatives in the National High School Orchestra which played in Chicago in 1928. In the field of Drama the class secured a very good actress in the person of Louise Yuiska. The other promising actors and actresses are: Bill Vaught, Bill Grant, Grace Urquhart, Joseph Kazeva, Marie Marks, George Poland, Helyn Lukas, Blanche Morrison, Florence Cater, Thelma Thornberry, Peter Shaginaw, Wm. Bilf lock, Marcella Troutman, Grace Mehrmann, Wm. Burry, and Andrew Kunsack. Then, also, we must not forget Jim Rozum, who has helped make all of Cliver's stage productions a success by contributing his services as stage manager. He has been assisted by Oscar Suess and Wm. Kress. Of the four important officials, the cheer leaders, the 12A class gave two: the captain, Bill Vaught, and Bill Kress. Last, but not least, comes the class's contribution not only to Oliver, but to Art-Joseph Kazeva. Since he first set foot within the corridors of the school, Joe has made the art department of Oliver stand out for its good work. Yes, the Class of February, 1929, gave their best to their school, and are ready now to take their leave. The class must part-the bond of friendship which has bound them together these four short, happy years must reluctantly be broken, in order that some may continue their education, while others enter the University of Hard Knocks. They shall not, however, forget the years they have spent within the walls of Oliver-rather it shall remain a cherished memory, to be thought of with joy and happiness, when they are gone, and perhaps, forgotten by the rest of the school.

THE OMICRON During its four years' sojourn at Oliver, the Class of February '29 has de' veloped quite a few remarkable characteristics, which it makes known at this time, as it bequeaths them to the Class of June '29. Should these characteristics depart from the school, as the class departs, the present Senior A's feel that much of the true Oliver atmosphree would be lacking.
