=—F 1O2OD m— CLASS HISTORY S I sit, pen in hand, on this warm spring afternoon, dreaming remi- niscently of the incidents of the past four years, a melancholy feeling D takes possession of me. I am hestitating on the edge of “that un- Mes discovered country from whose bourne no traveler” can tell—Life. To turn back is impossible, to hesitate may be fateful, to pass on—who knows ? But why should I be downhearted? That illustrious personage, Profes- sor Foster Owen Speicher, says that there is one method by which one can foretell a tribe’s destiny—that one is through history. On the first Monday of September, in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and twenty-five, an assorted crowd of rabid students was admitted as the Freshmen class to O. H. S. The class contributed largely to the athletic squads of the school and just as largely to the social activities. From September 1926, to June 1927, the class reigned supreme as the wise fools of the school. We redistinguished ourselves through the efforts of the girls in their play, ‘““Eeny, Meeny, Miny, Mo,” and the dia- logue of Winters and Lohr, the future Weber and Fields. So far not much—but good. With the opening of the term of ’27-’28, we gave our good ship the gun and soared to unprecedented heights, handing to the school a championship team in cattle judging, A. Ridder and W. DeBerry; four members of the soccer team, Captain Casteel, Winters, Spoerlein and DeBerry; two mem- bers of the volleyball squad, Helen Leighton and Martha Gonder; the win- ner of the Fraley Declamation Contest, Dorothy Stevenson; and three sees basketeers of the county, Winters, Stemple and Lohr (first team). Under the name of Seniors we continue just as strong. Casteel, De- Berry, Spoerlein and Winters on the soccer squad, with Richard Stemple holding the helm as manager. When the basketball season started the Seniors were represented by five men: Stemple, Spoerlein, Casteel, Winters and Lohr. On December 19, we “swang” a real Christmas party and opened the social activities of the year. Now we are entering upon the period of commencement activities. As we go on through the institutions of higher learning, some to colleges, some to the school of hard knocks, we shall look reminiscently back over our days spent in O. H. S. and hail any old classmate with delight. —K. Lohr. 28
