placed upon us. But having been a very energetic class, we are able to play our part and we regret very much that our high school days are coming to an end and that We shall leave the classmates, perhaps never again to meet as the same group. Without any regard for this fact we are proud to think that We have acquired the necessary knowledge which will aid us as We enter our life work, MADGE STRAW wk wk lk lk Senior Social Events The first party of the Senior Class of 1928 was held at the home of Superintendent B. W. Cotterman. It being the first party of the class as Seniors, it was a delightful affair. The evening was spent in playing games and singing. At the close of the evening a delicious lunch was served by the Senior Class. The party Was a complete success and was enjoyed by all present. MILDRED Mc:Ci.E1.1.AND PF Ik 111 ak SENIORS OF 1928 Happy Seniors are we this year, Although we thought we were done. But this is what we seem to hear, 0ur lives have merely begun. We look into the far distant blue And see our classmates now. With each doing what he wishes to do, In the best way he knows how. Many have chosen to be teachers, While others have chosen to roam. But still all are human creatures, And love O. C. H. S. our past home. Here again we shall our schoolmates greet, And talk of our old schooldays, Of how, in halls. we would ever meet And Work on our lessons always. CHARLOTTE KLINE unnnnnuuu-1 W ' g 7' W' ' ' 'W 73 ' '

Senior Class History In the early autumn of the year 1924 a large group of Weary travelers walked toward the House of Knowledge at Ohio City High School. Here these travelers were called Freshmen. We noticed that the upperclassmen heartily laughed many times at the awkward mistakes made by the Freshmen. We only thought this to be a part of human nature and that the same oppor- tunity would come to us when we would be upperclassmen. After we became acquainted with each other, we held our first class meeting and elected Mildred McClelland, President and Mr. Cotterman, Advisor. As time passed we were called together and told that our Hrst party would be held at the beautiful country home of Alice and Evan Owens. This was a masquerade party and every one came dressed because they feared the penalty. Every one had an enjoyable time and wished that all the parties would be as enjoyable. The first year passed and we found ourselves to be Sophomores. A few of the travelers decided that they had acquired enough education to satisfy their needs in life. In a few days we elected Evan Owens, President: Mildred McClelland, Vice-President: and Miss Moorman, Sponsor. We decided that we might make this a very successful year. We were allowed to hold two class parties and were royally entertained at the homes of Dode Smith and Pauline Brunni. The party at the home of Dode Smith was a masquerade party. Pauline delightfully entertained us with an invitation party in the spring. Thus ended our second year of high school life and we started on the third year as Juniors. In this year we thought we could almost see on the other side of the mountain but every attempt was in vain. We had not the required amount of knowledge to do that, but we believed that with another year's work we could do it easily. Again some of our classmen decided that they could profit much more at other work and they left us. In the 'election Evan Owens was again chosen President, Harold Skinner, Vice-President and Miss Moorman, Sponsor. The only party of this year was held at the home of Helen Clouse. The losing side of the ticket contest beautifully entertained the class. Every effort of this year's work was centered upon the most important happening of the year, the Junior-Senior Banquet. It was an elaborate affair and We are glad that it proved highly successful. We sincerely believe that Effort Brings Accomplishmentf' which was our motto for the Junior year. Beginning on our last year with an enrollment of twenty-five we believed that we had one of the best classes that entered Ohio City High School. Before the lirst semester had passed three of our number decided that they did not care to remain any longer with us. The oflicers elected were Pauline Brunni, President: Evan Owens, Vice-President: and Mr. Cottcrman, Advisor. We chose for our class the motto Preparation is the Key Note to Success, the crimson rose for flower and scarlet and gray for class colors. The class was very beautifully entertained at the home of our Superintendent and advisor, Mr. and Mrs. B. W. Cotterman. In every activity of the school there are to be found some members of the Class of 1928 who take a great part. Thus we as a class are proud of every member because of their intense interest shown toward the school and its work. In nearing the end of our high school life we have very many responsibilities
