CLASS HISTORY Seventh and Eighth grade: We spent these first two years mainly getting used to the big building, changing classes, longer school days, shorter lunch hours, homework, the big kids, and the ways of high school teachers. Ninth grade: One of our most exciting years was our frosh year. The Oberlinian, a newspaper by Baxter-Lanyi and staff, came out just for freshmen and was a howling success and the envy of all the other classes. Most of the girls joined G.A.A. and enjoyed a wonderful season which included walloping the sophomores and the juniors to come out second only to the seniors in the volleyball tournament. Also as freshmen we wore our red and gray hats, trimmed the Christmas tree, attended the first Rhythm Round-up, and drove our advisor, Miss Martin, crazy. Tenth grade: Sophomores! The girls began more and more to hold their own in G.A.A. and become a challenge to other classes. As for the boys, many joined the football, basketball, and track teams. Already Coniam and Chaney were famous throughout our league. In the spring many young fancies were turned to-you guessed it, and there was a burst of parties. Under Miss Merthe's guidance, the Roman Banquet was a success, and a more serious attitude toward studies brought the year to a close. Eleventh grade: As juniors we had many good times together including managing the foodstand and the junior carnival. In the spring all of our attentions were turned toward the planning and carrying out of the Prom. Naturally it was a huge success, but we never could have done it without the patience of our advisor, Mr. Szwaja. We got through final exams, ushered at senior commencement, and began to look forward to our next and final year at O.H.S. Twelfth grade: Ah, the life of a senior! It centers around class sweaters, class trips fNela Park, etc.j, money, lots of undreamed-of work, and lots of fun. Mrs. Hannon and Mr. Shubert are our homeroom teachers and do a good job of advising us and holding the line. We are very proud of our football team who won the championship for O.H.S. and earned us a free afternoon from school. Looking back over the years we've spent here, we seniors feel that with the excellent training we've received both socially and academically, we can go ahead with our plans for the future with confidence and assurance.
