C ASS HISTORY We began our big journey on a bright day in September, 1942, with 19 members. We struggled through the years losing old and gaining new mem- bers. In the fall of 1950, we entered our Freshman year, with 26 members. During this year we had three advisors, Mr. Jenkins, whom the Army took away from us, Mr. Green, and Mr. Troxial. The class chose Jerry White as President, Ellen Stump as Vice-President, Belle Bigham, Secretary, and Pat Brubaker, Treasurer. We lost Margaret Fenton and Roberta Long and gained Mary Adelblue and John Hoffman from Wren. Our Sophomore year we were under the leadership of Mr. Evans. This year we chose as our President, John Hoffman, with Marji Edwards as Vice- President, Connie Straw as Secretary, and Ellen Stump as Treasurer. Navy blue and white were chosen as our class colors, a red Carnation as our class flower, and as our motto we chose: If the elevator to success is not working, take the stairs . We lost Bob Long, Rolland Custer, and Ilo Woods this year. The year of 1952-53, one of our biggest, was next. Our sponsor, Mr. Lechleidner, helped direct our officers, who were: Charles Putman, Presi- dentg Ellen Stump, Vice-President, Connie Straw, Secretaryg and Pat Brubaker, Treasurer. Connie Straw moved to Brya.n. We also lost Jerry White and Mary Adelblue, but gained Bob Army from Lima. The Junior Class Play, The Calalnity Kids , was one of our first successes. Our next big achievement was the Junior-Senior Prom, with the theme-- Harbor Lights . Both of these events took a lot of team work and planning, and our class seemed to have enough of both. ln 1953, we entered our final year at dear old O, C. L. Under the sponsorship of Mr. Leiendecker, we chose Charles Putman as President, John Hoffman as Vice-President, Ellen Stump as Treasurer, Belle Bigham as Secretary, and Pat Brubaker as Annual Editor. Money-making projects throughout the years were: square dances, scrap drives, concessions, class plays, and chile suppers. Our twelve year sojourn at Ohio City-Liberty has been filled with many rich adventures and achievements, money-making projects and profitable learning situations, and now we are about to embark upon the greatest ad- venture of a1l-- LIFE ITSELF.

V QA X .... , abt .W . X WSQQ. Ss Xt X 'ax a. . Nic. A N 12 if 1 'Ch 'W xr 37 J' v W Y 'QA C ASS l'm writing this poem of good kids galore, It's the beloved Class of '54. The success of the Annual is due to Pat B. For she is Annual Editor you see. She sure is swell and lots of fun, For a friend indeed she's just the one. Jim Ayers is one nice guy, He is never afraid to try, Most any work he does quite well, Everyone thinks that he is swell. Robert L. Army is next in line, Our class thinks that he is fine. He's lots of fun and good hearted too, We hate to lose him. Now wouldn't you? Next here comes our little Belle, What do you think? We think she's swell. As our secretary she is fine, She tries very hard to keep in line. Rhea Boroff so pretty and brown, You very seldom see her frown, She's one of the nicest girls in town, It's lots of fun to have her around. John Hoffman is a friend to all. He's really good at playing ball. He is really one swell guy, The navy will get him by and by. Happy-go-lucky all through the day, Ellen's sure to go far if she stays that way. She's lots of fun and I've heard folks say, She brings sunshine to a rainy day. Bill Stutz is real smart, He's been that way from the start, His main ambition is working on his car, As a mechanic he should go far. Barbara Jo is real sweet, She's one of the nicest girls you'll meet. The griefs of Totem Pole Editor she bears, Also the Annual troubles she shares. ,K- ....s.. :wx ...Q ,-n-Q ,-:c r' Q, aa.
