On the morning of September 15, 1935, after the cloud of smoke and dust had cleared away, there we were+groups of nervous, wide-eyed, enthusiastic Frwhies . Why had we come? To seek greater knowledge in the Ohio City-Liberty High School. We soon found that so large a cllass couldn't drift aimlessly into space without becoming organized, so we Fres'hies met and elected Paul Ramsey, president, Betty Fow'ler, vice-president, Ruth Matthews, secretary, Bob Bickle., treasurer, Louraine Roller, reporter and Mr. Weber, sponsor. A fine selection but only time could rove it. P Since all work and no play make Freshies dull students, a Hallowe'en Party was held at the home of Ida Hoffman to which any number of unknowns came but, of course, their identity was soon discovered and we had a lot of laughs, you know they sary laugh and grow fat -well, we had plenty of opportunities, for to climax the year and end it in a big way we had: a skating party. Of course, we won't mention any names but it's a good thing that our noble instructors stand up to teach-they couldn't have done otherwise after that party. The next fall when we came to school and found that a few of our schoolmates had left us, we met to elsect new officers who were Ida Hoffman, president, Ruth Matthews, vice-preside-nt, Elizabeth Linnenkamp, secretary and reporter, Lois Ickes, treasurer and Mr. Weber, sponsor. Then later in the year, when Elizabeth moved to Maryland, the clfss elected Esther Brown, secretary and Elzada Henson, reporter. No year starts right without a party .so, of course, we had ours-a Wiener roast which was supposed to be held in High's Woods, but because of rain it was held in the Community Room where games were played amid laughing, talking, and the blare of the radio. Since we had set a precedent the year before, nothing would do but to have an- other skating party. Thfse who couldn't skate went just for the fun of seeing the others in all kinds of awkward spills . When we returned to school as Juniors, we found that many who thought they didn't need further knowledge had decided to leave. Again we met to reorganize our class and elect the following class officers: Ida Hoffman, president, Jim Ellinger, viceepres'dentg Ruth Matthews, secretary, Esther Brown, treasurer and Louraine Roller, reporter with Miss Lantz, our sponsor. But when it comes to real Weiner roasts, we say, Give us the wide open spaces, out at Alys Rice?s, an ideal spot for weiner roasts or developing one's lungs by fire- side singing. Miss Jimmy , a hilarious comedy, was a huge success in spite of the funny acci- dents, such as, the lamp upsetting and the closet door being locked. This Junior Class Play is one that will 'long be remembered for its uniqueness, hilarious comedy, and presentation. And are we ever proud to have so many of our classmates on the Basketball teams Alys Rice, Mary Ellen Putman, Lois Ickes, Louraine Roller, Edna Doan, Marjorie Blush and Ida Hoffman, Bud Wiseg, Bob Bickle and Max Rnoem. Let's give them a rousing cheer- Yea, Juniors Fight! Fight! Fight! Our enthusiasm is increasing and we're already starting to get ready for next year to have the best class that ever graduated from O. C. L.

LRUJI-!LE35L!fLk!4I SOPHOMORE CLASS RECORDINGS Zip, Boom, Bang, and whoopie, the great air ship started off with a lurch and a few jerks on its trip to the moon with its passengers, who was the seventh grade class. Mr. Weber was our sponsor and the other officers were as follows: Pete Agler, president, Claribell Stemen, vice presidentg Gale High, secretary, Josephine Rollins, treasurer, and Dorothy Caywocd, news reporter. We had just started into a group of white, fleecy clouds when .Luella Woods, Dale Kline, Carl Davis, Beatrice Shinnaberry, Waldo Clouse, and Darrel Boroff grew so frightened that they jumped out, pulled the rip cords of their parachutes, and again landed on the surface of the earth. In honor of the members staying on the ship we decided to givea Hall,owe'en party and almost frightened them to death when the president let the ship get out of con- trol and we almost crashed to earth. With the help of the other officers the presi- dent ved the ship and its passengers. Aiiter we had given two chapel programs and had another party, we were promot- ed from the seventh to the eighth grade. We elected Miss Lantz to be our sponsor and Dale Krieger for president, Cathryn McLean as vice president, Evelyn Price as secretary, Junior Kelsey as treasurer, and Gale High as news reporter. One day we went very fast and after slowing down, we noticed the absence of two of our friends and class mates. 'They were Richard Stover and Max Thomesg thinking they had probably jumped out, we wasted no time but went on our journey. We only had time for two Chapel programs and two parties, t.he last party repre- sented our eighth grade banquet, and when we learned that we were to receive no eighth grade diplomas, we felt very dejected. Our wonderful vacation in mid air brightened our spirits, so we decided to let by-gones be by-gones, and started our ninth year with new vivacity and enthusiasm. Mr. Koch was elected as our Freshman sponsor and the president was Gale High, the vice president was Cathryn McLean, the secretary was Claribelle Stemen, the treasurer was Junior Kelsey, and the news reporter was Virginia Billieu. While jour- neying one day we came across a new passenger and scholar from another school, who was no other than Jesse Summersette. He had about all of the girls' hearts for a few weeks, because he was the first new person we had seen in two whole years besides the staff and members of our class. In his honor, we had a weiner roast and a swell time. About that time Russel Kessler grew tired of the trip, his school class. his teach- ers, and class mates, so he quit the whole thing by jumping out. I have often wonder- ed if while flying through space he lost any weight. While pass'ng over the sea of matrimony, our class-mate, Dorothy Harmon, fell in. Grace Troutner was the girl that came from another space ship called Willshire and she liked our ship so well that she stayed with us the remaining part of that year. The boys off our class 'wr'te 40 on the wings of our ship and after quite an affair with our Superintendent they had to clean both forties off. ' We had been on our trip for almost three years and as we had not .seen the moon, we got so restless and disappointed that we turned back toward the earth. Gladys Neate, one of our classmates, felt so badly about the whole thing that she quit , then she jumped to earth to tell our friends that we would soon arrive. The day we sighted Earth we had a big celebration with a theatre party and a pot-luck afterwards. The day we arrived, we received a great surprise because we were promoted and could no longer be called Freshies since- we were Sophomores. This year we have had a grand time. We have already given one program for chapel, we have had a Treasure Hunt , have cleared fifteen dollars at two basketball games, and are now participating in a 'pest l'unt with the Freshman Class. From our class two have left this year, Evelyn Price and Glenn Schaffer. We ex- pect to make the rest of this year and the next two years the happiest years of our life. Our sponsor Mr. Berkey and the officers who are president, Thelma Hogheg vice president, Wilbur Krughg secretary, Dorothy Caywocdg treasurer, Cathryn Hoffman, and news reporter, Claribelle Stemen have had a lot to do with our success and hap- pmess.
