It is the skyscraper, the humble cabin in the foothills, the prairies of waving grain, the purple mountains, the people we love. It's peanuts and crackerjacks at the zoo, a game of marbles or jump-the-rope, a glass of milk and Grandma's cookies after school, pop and hot dogs at the baseball game. It's bridge or tea, golf or the concert. The American Way of Life is the story of the thirteen colonies, the "Spirit of '76," the Minute Men, and Valley Forge. It is "Yankee Doodle," Corregidor, and Guadalcanal. It is the farmer raising his crops, the weather beaten fisherman drawing in his nets, the muscular factory hand running ponderous machines, the busy executive getting out war orders, the house wife doing her spring cleaning, the doctor building strong bodies, the friendly minister, the teacher, and the high school student going about their activities. They are the American Way of Life. But under all this, there is something greater. It is the faith that is America: the faith in a government of the people, the right to speak freely, to observe different religions, to dream, to have the opportunity to make those dreams come true, and the responsi- bility to maintain freedom no matter what the cost. This is America. This is Ottawa Hills, or any other school in this great land. Only here could a high school partake of this way of life. In this book of memories will be found Ottawa Hills, a portion of the American Way of Life. ,f Mifiin-0' Q e . 1 fi' 'VXA .. r , .f xxx 57- 2 Z 'T ,"h- -aff M A4 1 T i I li".-L L ffl 2 N Qlieerf' -fi ,-:ii X f! mfg yy if . -

Dedication In the second year of Ottawa Hills' existence, Miss Lenore Bader started her teaching career here with an eighth grade class. Since that time she has had a session room in each succeeding grade and has taught every form of mathema- tics from the eighth grade general arithmetic to the senior trigonometry. She has always been exceedingly generous in giving her time and efforts to aid her pupils in their class work and in the extra-curricular activities of the school. Last fall Miss Bader became one of the senior advisers. She has had the responsibility of the Senior Girls' League, and the financial business of the Senior Play and Mimes. Miss Bader's patience, her high, inspiring ideals for the students, and her individual, ever present humor have won her a permanent place of affection in the hearts of her seniors. No student with whom she has worked will go forth from the school without being a better individual. Ottawa Hills has a deep and sincere admiration for Miss Lenore Bader, to whom the pupils fondly dedicate the Legend of 1945. 5
