fhkioffy Twelve short years ago in September 1938, Helen Andrews , John Burnside, Ward Greene, Roger Hawver, Phyllis Perry, Joyce Reeves, Bruce Shultis and Marjorie Thayer entered the first grade at Otego Central School, unaware of what lay ahead. In the second grade we studied Indians and made an Indian village. The third year we built a grocery store and learned to make change. This year energetic John Burnside was tied in his seat by the teacher to break him of the habit of jumping out of it when he wasn't supposed to. In the fourth grade we learned to spell hieroglyphics, which we can't spell now, and made Egyptian scenes. Anna Camp, Carl Perkins and Leon Shultis joined us this year. The fifth year found us deep in scientific experiments, airplane clubs and first aid classes. Two more students joined us, Mary Daniels and Sally Parish. The sixth year found us compnritivsly quiet as we dreamily listened to the tales of freedom told us by the seventh graders. The first school day the following year revealed a new found wonder. We discovered we could flit from room to room for Classes. It took us a few days to learn which room was which, We were also introduced to a new thing called initation. The suitcases full of books were a little heavy by the end of that day, but we had as much fun as the Seniors who initiated us. The eighth year we took the first eight grade Graduation Trip to Albany. We visited the capitol, Educational Bxilding, W.G.Y. and Howe Caverns. John Burnside, and Bruce and Leon Shultis discovered there was a new wonder called thsrevolving door. It's a wonder they didn't make themselves sick going around in circles so unch. Mary Ann Knapp and Donna Reed Joined us this year. Mr. Sears and Miss Stanhouse were our advisors in our Freshman year. We had our first dance in May with music by St. Gnge's Orchestra. We used Moonlight and Roses for a theme. For decorations we made paper roses and more paper roses. Being new in the business of having a dance, it took us four weeks to get ready for it and two weeks to clean up afterwards. Ina Foote and Walter Hathaway joined us during our Sophomore year. We had our second dance in April with music furnished by Ernie Russ's Orshestr In our Junior year Mr. Sears still stuck with us, but Miss Reinheimer took the place of Miss Stan- house. 'Ile had one dance in November and one in May in place of a Junior Prom. Charles York's Orchestra played for both. Choosing our class rings was a big issue. Charles Msttison rejoined us this year. The Junior boys played the Fireman in a Donkey Basketball game in April. Neither team could walk very well the following morning. In our Senior year Mr. Sears was still hanging on as our advisor. Mrs. Lee Urban replaced Miss Reinheimer who could only take one year with us. We had the first dance of the year on October 21. The Santa Fe Riders furnished the music. Jean Foster joined us this year. We had a Christmas Party at Hrs. Urban's home in Oneonta on December 17. We played a game called Cootie It took us a. little while to get the game through our heads, but we had a hilarious time after we caught on. The girls chalked one up on the boys that night when L-Irs. Urban's five year old daugmte Susan, remarked, The Senior girls are pretty, but those old boys are crazy . They say children speak the truth. u As this yearbooicgoes to press we are anticipating the production of the Senior Play 'Grandad Steps Out , on March 10, the last Senior Dance on April 5, and the Senior Trip to Washington and New York City during Easter vacation, Wethink Mr. Sears should be awarded a medal for bravery beyond the call of duty after all he has put up with during the past four years. The most hard earned and most valuable award awaits us at Commencement in June. Things have often been difficult during the years, but it has been worth every effort put forth. We are sincerely indebted to our school, faculty and principal for all the help given us during our years at O.C.S. -Marjorie Thayer, Class Historian- 12 8. rn
