Swim 36313049 We entered the doors of 0.H. S. as Eighth Graders. Our advisor was Mr. W Heaton. We were the first Eighth Grade class to be in the high school for m-HHY years and we were completely lost. We weren't in the grade school and we weren't in the high school. In the fall we sponsored a dance. Now we were Freshmen! At last we were actually high school students. On the first Friday of school came the long-feared initiation. A few weeks later WC gave our return dance to the Sophomores, thanking them for initiating us. ID the y spring, Mr. Irwin, our advisor, gave us a party at his home on Garrard Creek- As Sophomores we were glad to return to O.H. S. There were 19 of us under our advisor Mr. Weitz. We initiated the Freshmen the first week. All through the year we helped with many different things. Our class officers were: Myrna Sexton, President, Bill Lee, Vice-President, Marlene Menish, Secretary- Treasurer. Around Thanksgiving we gave our Sophomore Hop entitled Turkey Trot, which was a huge success. When we came to school on August 29, 1954, as Juniors, we were looking for ward to a year of trial. Mr. Bue was our advisor. We elected a very able group of officers. Rose Marie Neeley was President, Ed Palmer, Vice-President, Barbara Lofgren, Secretary, and Sharon Blechschmidt, Treasurer, with Darlene Macomber, Sergeant at Arms. Our next project was to elect an Annual Staff. 1 They were: Rose Marie Neeley, Editor, Ed Palmer, Assistant Editor, Bob Van- dervort, Business Manager, later replaced by Barbara Lofgren, Sharon Blech- V schmidt, photography editor, Gary Carl, sports editor, Myrna Sexton, Joke editor. The staff immediately started to work and signed a contract with R. Wallace Pischell and Company of Pasco, Washington. Our annuals were different! They were bound, they had a better grade of paper and they were printed on both 1 sides of the paper. Mr. Bue took the pictures, which greatly reduced the photo- graphy bill. Any day the sun ventured out you could see Mr. Bue and his camera running around. We completed work on the annual shortly after the class play had been presented. Meanwhile, plans for the Junior Prom were in progress. Our prom was held November 12, 1954. Our theme was Chapel in the Moonlight. We had Ken Stevens Orchestra. The queen was Bertha Donley and the king was Ralph Moe. They were chosen by the A, S. B, As our class play, we chose an all-girl play entitled On Account of Larry. The cast was chosen and work begun when Rose Marie Neeley became ill and was Q forced to give up her part. The cast was then rearranged and work doubled. The ' play was presented on April 15, 1955. Our next project was the Junior-Senior Banquet which was held May 13 in the grade school multi-purpose room, with the theme Moonlight Serenade. The tables were decorated in blue and white. Then came graduation time. We decorated the stage for baccalaureate and commence.. ment. Our last activity of the year was a party on June 6, when the annuals, which had just arrived, were distributed. At last we are seniors! Nineteen of us started the year. Theifirst Friday of school we gave the Senior Mixer in honor of the Freshmen. We gained three boys from Elma five weeks after school started. On October 4, we had our senior pictures taken at Post's Studio in Chehalis. We sponsored arestaurant at the carnival held in October. Our senior class play was Hillbilly Wedd1n. We presented the play on December 9. After the play, we chose our name cards, announcements from Master Engravers in Portland and our graduation caps and gowns from Clint Wi. Lee in Seattle. We planned a Senior Ball for February, with the Valentine theme. We all had a wonderful time on our Senior Sneak which took usnto parts unknown Then came graduation, a time of sadness and of added responsibility. These five years have been a truly unforgettable experience.
