CLASS HI 'l'0RY After twelve years of hard work, success, and detemiination, we stop to take inventory and see who is left. Let's see--in the fall of 1942 we started our long journey with 35 class members. When we entered Junior High, we thought that we were progressing fast, but that was small in comparison with our first year of high school. There were 31 of us roaming the halls of O, C. L. on a bright September morning in 1949 to start out long drive toward graduation. At first we acted like 'greenies' but it didn't take long for us to learn the ways and methods of high school life. To direct our paths during the first year we chose Bob Good as president and Mr. Fleck as our sponsor and co-helpersg Jack Smalley, Janet Walls, and Ned Scheidt, To begin our second year we still, had 31. This year we chose Iris Baker and Mr. Fleck as our directors and co-helpersp Marlene Wallace, Rosalind Bigham, and Betty Brubaker. Our class colors, flower, and motto were chosen this year. Wine and white as our colors and the wine rose as our flower were chosen to be our emblems. Our motto is 'To Rise after Falling is Glory. As happy go lucky Juniors we chose Don Keber as our president and Miss Spoon as advisor. They were assisted by Bob Brand, Marlene Wallace, and Janet Walls. The big highlights of this year were the Junior and Senior Prom which we gave in honor of those who tread the road ahead of us and our Junior class play You'll Die Laughing. As the 1952 school term rolled around we found ourselves as Grand Old Seniors. After taking inventory and balancing the books, we found that there were 29 of us still left for grad- uation. We re-elected Don Keber as president and to help him carry the load we chose Ned Scheidt, Marlene Wallace, Thelma Gephart, and Mr. Leiendecker as sponsor. Bob Good and lack Smalley published a book on our activities. To help build up our treasury we held bake sales, concessions, raffles, and sold magazines. After much hard work we are about to attain our goal--graduation. We hope to continue on until we have achieved success in each of our chosen fields.
