A Message From Mr. Shannon Graduates of 1953: You are the seventy-fifth group of graduates from your high school. Of all seventy-five graduating classes, you, in all probability, face the great- est challenge presented to any class. Your world is now grown to include heretofore unimaginable problems in the relations of man to man, in the relations of man to science and indus- try, and in the relation of man to his God. Inherent in this challenge, how- ever, is opportunity, opportunity to do a better job than has ever been done in government, in science and industry, in the professions, in reli- gion-in all phases of life. As you join the OHS Alumni who have made our fame and reputation by their work, may you always be loyal to the ideals of service to your fellows which have distinguished the lives of so many of our graduates. Good luck. Come back to visit, and as you said in your fine senior assembly- May the Good Lord Bless and Keep You . lil QM!!
