Feeling that an official title and em- blem should be established, the Student Council brought the problem before the student body during the 1938-39 school term. After several weeks of campaigning, in which the supporters of the Terrors, with the bulldog emblem, fought it out with those favoring the Eagles, the question was brought to vote. The issue was settled in a democratic way with the result that the bulldog, which is featured in this issue of the Ottocrat, became the official emblem of the school along with the traditional name Terrors.

But be- sides being a flash of color and a panorama of cheering students, the sports program aims to instill the meaning of physical fitness into the lives of the participants-that physical fitness which has become so increasingly important and often-mentioned today. But sports do more than merely create a realization of what training and care are able to do in the development of a strong, healthy body. The team play which results teaches fight, endurance, the will to win and other characteristics necessary in the game of life as well as the game played. And it is not just the typically athletic boy who receives physical training in our school. Every physically able student has a chance to participate in some sport. Girls' inter-class basketball, girls' field hockey, soccer, softball, badminton, and volleyball are enioyed by everyone in gym classes, and there are inter- scholastic football and basketball teams for those possessing greater athletic ability. Otto, proud of these teams, has gloried in their triumphs and helped bear their defeats. The coaches of these teams, Mr. Kribbs and Mr. Wilcox, have worked hard to round them into perfectly-working machines, and the players themselves have spent wearisome hours in practice, hoping to get in the game and win for their alma mater. lt is with pride that we dedicate the Ottocrat of 1942 to an undefeated foot- ball team, a highly successful basketball team and a well-rounded athletic department. !- g.

THE SKYSCRAPER Carl Sandburg Without spirit and loyalty a school is a worthless shell cast up in society's lap. Who can best instill this loyalty? There is no one more iudiciously placed for it than the teachers of that school. Without a lively, progressive group of teachers a school will not only fail to inspire its students, but it will also lack the first essential for successful service to the public it serves. No school can hope to pro- duce the intelligent, wide-awake citizens so necessary in -a democracy unless it is a democratic institution itself and one which encourages the development of initiative and self-reliance in those who attend. , We feel that the faculty of Otto High School has the ability to instill this spirit. Their training is exceptional, their convictions are sincere and unquestion- able, and their pep alone makes them worthy mentors of the Terrors and their followers. 8 E A45- if Q FACULTY O E' Y' 5 Z Zz num 054 ,Sfmt mmcfm The control of the Otto Township public schools is vested in a board of five directors. Two members are elected every two years on the odd numbered years, except when there is only one vacancy caused by the expiration of the fifth member's term. Otto Township has been fortunate indeed in securing the services of men to act as school directors who are outstanding leaders in their communities. The Ottocrat wishes to offer recognition and pay tribute to these civic-minded citizens who willingly and without compensation give of their time and service to see that the children of Otto Township may have the best schools that can be provided. Mr. Milford Loop is the dean of the present Board of Directors. He is now serving his thirteenth consecutive year. Messrs. Chauncey Wasson, John Cun- ningham and Paul Kahle were elected for the first time in 1931 and have served ever since. All are now serving their eleventh year. Mr. Ralph Hulse is the iunior member, being first appointed to fill an unexpired term and then regularly elected last year. The Board elects its own officers and the present organization is given be- low, together with the beginning and expiration dates of each director's term of service.

S., M. S. Principal Mr. Sweitzer is the tactful and understand- ing principal of our high school. He directs the school's program-arranges assembly pro- grams, sport activities, social events and the many little things that make a school system run smoothly-and teaches commercial law and bookkeeping. He can always be relied upon to handle any situation diplomatically, and because of his fine sense of humor and sympathetic manner he will always hold a place of honor among the students of Otto. 1 i MR. L. F. GERBER, B. S., M. Ed. Supervising Principal Returning from the Philippines to his duties as supervising principal of Otto Township, Mr. Gerber brought new inspiration to the faculty and student body. He furnished us with two interesting assembly programs and provided many educational bits of information about the life, customs, dress and topography of the Philippine Islands. This information is par- ticularly pertinent and beneficial now because of our interest in the Far East as one of the theaters of war. Jwlldfy- MR. FORREST CUMMINGS, B. S., M. S. lt size is any indication of knowl- edge Mr. Cummings's understanding ofthe science that he teaches must in- deed be vast. Good-natured, well- liked by all, he has increased his al- ready large number of friends since the acquirement of his menagerie. MR. HOWARD FENNER, B. S. One of our most conscientious and cooperative workers, Mr. Fenner teaches science, geography and math for the junior high school students. He knows just how to guide them through these exploratory courses in order to provide them with a solid' background for further study. MR. ROBERT FIELD, B. S. Enthusiastic leader of the band Mr. Field is a master of swing and progressive ideas. He came to Otto in October when Mr. Aiken left to join the Army and has already established himself in the hearts of all music lovers. MISS TWILA A. HOOVER, B. S. Miss Hoover directs our girls' chorus, mixed chorus and ensemble besides supervising the music in the two grade schools. Usually happy and smiling, she has one real worry now- making the rounds without tires. But she really likes walking and is hoping for that promised station wagon. MR. BENTON KRIBBS, B. S. Coach of Otto's first undefeated, untied football team, he is also a suc- cessful and interesting social studies teacher. Even though a crack football coach, he displays a great personal interest in basketball and is an ex- pert shot. Jwdflf MISS JANET LILLIBRIDGE, A. B. Miss Lillibridge teaches a straight English schedule throughout each day. She is thorough and cheerful in her work and is the hardworking adviser of the Ottocrat staff. Phe is an ardent supporter of the basketball team but enjoys dancing most of all. MISS MARJORIE P. LOOP Our charming and competent sec- retary is an Otto alumna and a very loyal supporter of school activities. MISS STELLA MOYER, A. B., B. S. When it comes to preciseness and accuracy, Miss Moyer is certainly tops, which accounts in some way for the Otto students' intelligence. And no wonder she is so cheerful. Why not, when she has the key to a world of knowledge? Jfwdflf MR. WILLIAM OLSON, A. B. Here's the King of 209 who teaches Speech and English in many interesting and helpful ways. If any question comes to debate and you want to win, ioin up with him because he's hard to defeat. We might add, also, that his chuckle has nearly become an Otto institution. MR. ROBERT T. POLLOCK, B. S., M. Ed. One of the newcomers to our fac- ulty who has ably taken over two jobs -teaching history and coaching the Junior Varsity. He has succeeded in both and has also established himself as a Number I story teller. MISS MARY RESSLER, B. S., M. A. Largely responsible for the achieve- ments of Otto's many commercial stu- dents is Miss Ressler's careful and ex- acting instruction. She likes sports and dancing, but her chief love right now is her big blue Chrysler. Maybe that explains why she's taking a mechanics course. MISS EDITH M. SANDERSON Another Otto alumna, graduate of the class of 1940, who has returned to serve her alma mater, Miss Sanderson is an able assistant to Miss Loop. MR. ALBERT SMEAL, B. S. In his first year as instructor in the industrial education department and mechanical drawing courses, Mr. Smeal has proved himself very effi- cient and has made many friends in Otto. He has been particularly active in student activities. Juwlfqf MRS. HELEN SPROUT, A. B. Mrs. Sprout proves that one quality of a good teacher is personal enioy- ment of the subiect. She fires her for- eign language students to energetic study and is the inspiration behind that increasingly entertaining produc- tion-the junior play. MISS RUTH TREVORROW, B. A. Miss Trevorrow enters into any- thing she does with a zest that has become recognized as part of her forceful manner of handling any task assigned her-doing guidance work, teaching English or advising the senior class. This same pep and spirit characterizes her non - professional life, also. MISS SARA WEAVER, B. S. She is going to make sure that the husbands of ten years hence won't have to eat canned food, sew on but- tons or mend socks. Besides her teach- ing duties, Miss Weaver manages the cafeteria and works on the costumes so necessary to Otto stage presenta- tions. . -'I5 Jawlhf MR. GEORGE WILCOX, B. S. There is no doubt in the minds of the students of Otto High School as to who has been the leader in our physical education courses. Coach Wilcox has produced many teams which have given his opponents much stiff competition. MR. ARTHUR WILMARTH, B. S., M. Ed. Outstanding as instructor and dis- ciplinarian, Mr. Wilmarth handles his position as head of the math depart- ment effectively and well. He is al- ways well-versed in professional mat- ters and is an invaluable aid as'score keeper and school activities treasurer. MISS ALBERTA WOLCOTT, B. S. Miss Wolcott's invariable .good humor and even temper belie the ar- tistic ability that is hers. The fine re- sults of her work are seen each year at the Art Exhibit and she gives valuable help to every department in need of posters and designs. MISS ELEANOR WRIGHT, B. S. One of our best and busiest faculty members, she directs the girls' phys- ical education classes, coaches their teams and handles all first aid cases occurring in school. She also teaches three adult First Aid classes and takes an auto mechanics course in her spare time! Cheer for Terrors bold, Cheer for blue and gold, Cheer for our loyalty. The Alma Mater 'I7 THE STUDENT BODY Otto has approximately four hundred students of whom the larger part turn out for all football and basketball games. Their support for the Terrors has been exceedingly good this last year. , Rooting for the Blue and Gold, however, has not been the only side of their student life, for Otto students haven't one-track minds. Varied activities, curri- cular and extra-curricular, keep every student busy a greater share of the time. Music groups, dramatics, class functions and various club activities con- stantly keep our halls humming. These activities provide every person who is really pushing toward the goal of self-achievement with constant practical lessons in the manner of best getting along with his fellow men. We are sure that our students, when they leave school to take their places as citizens of the nation, will continue to use the same clean, aggressive manner in the facing of their duties that they developed as Terrors of Otto High. 18 Q - .T Ili I-Dwi?

Originally high school was preparation mainly for college, and those who did not contemplate going usual- ly withdrew before graduation. Now schools have shifted their attention to in- structing for industrial and home occupa- tions. Yet the college preparatory course still draws heavily in numbers, even from those who have slight hope of continuing formal education. Languages, mathematics and sciences are the chief subiects of in- terest for these students, subiects which will lay the ground work for college courses. COMMERCIAL DEPARTMENT In order that the students of Otto may acquire business skills and knowledge as well as understanding and attitudes re- lated to the general economic and social nature of business, the commercial curri- lum offered consists of the accounting maior, the secretarial major and the com- prehensive course. The department is equipped with some of the most modern office machines, and practical production work is accomplished most effectively by the students in the mimeographing of a school newspaper, projects, tests, programs, tickets, circulars, letters and bulletins for both school and community activities. INDUSTRIAL ARTS Industrial arts is a part of the public school program which provides manipu- lative activity and the use of material things. lt offers unique experiences and points of view for the student in many typical human activities. Since learning is acquired through pupil experience with tools and materials, we try to make these experiences possible. Industrial arts is a curriculum area rather than a course or subiect. lt has many values which become more intensive as the pupil advances in school. It concerns itself with the materials, processes and products of manufacture and construction. HOME ECONOMICS DEPARTMENT If, as some authorities say, World War II is to be won partly in the homes, and par- ticularly the kitchens, of the American housewives, the home economics depart- ment can feel that it has already done much to further the program of vigorous health and comfortable, well-planned homes for our people. Every girl in this department has re- ceived careful training in meal planning: the making of dresses, ensembles, and other personal clothespwand the planning, furnishing and care of the home. In peace, as in war, this training is a necessity. Sophcwwfuz, Klan, When a teacher's roll book comes to life, it may reveal many interesting facts. Listen as the roll book of Mr. Cummings engages that of Mrs. Sprout in conversation. From the names on my pages and those on yours, it appears that the sophomore girls outnumber the boys. They hold all the offices, too-but the boys seem talented in other lines. My figures agree with yours, replies Mrs. Sprout's book, and look at the names' that have been scratched out-Lilly, Abbott, Payne, Laughlin, Wentworth, Thornton, Emerson,'Kahle, Fowler, Washburn, Hughes, Whitman. Two from my book and ten from yours. Continuing, she said, I heard sev- eral of the kids complaining about getting pushed around by upper classmen and not being able to do anything. Oh, don't worry about them. They'Il get a better foothold in a year or so. They elected Mr. Kribbs as adviser, and that's a ll good start. Yes, it is. And they're active-do they like parties! A roller skating party and a dance-not bad for 'sophs'! Look at these fellows who have had to hump to keep up their marks for athletic eligibility-Irons, Sherman, St. Clair, Erick- son, Ekas, Loop, Marvin, Hunt, Payne, Wurster and lddings. Don't forget the members of the music groups, too. Twelve in the band alone! But shh! Here comes Mr. Cummings! .... President .....,,..... ........ A nna Kaluza Vice-President .....,.... .

Snnioni Stony. Once upon a time there was a dear old world when all was happy and peaceful. This was the time that Frances entered the Rixford Grade School, to which she rode every day on a big yel- low bus. For five and a half years she studied readin', ritin' and rithmetic there until one day she heard a rumor that a new high school was being built, where she would attend the sixth grade. This seemed only a dream to her and when it didn't materialize, she almost forgot it. But one day when Frances I m Mal .. ....... David Hughes Vice-President ..... Jack McCord Secretary ........ ,,.,. F rances Kaluza Treasurer ..r.. . Donald Minnich Adviser ..... .... M iss Trevorrow entered her room, the kids said they were going to Otto Township High School. It had come true! And soon the shy and excited sixth graders entered Otto High with ears and eyes wide open. Then Frances was separated from her closest friends-put into a different sec- tion. She felt alone and afraid there, until she spied a girl she had once met before and got acquainted with her and her friends. These students had come from Duke Center for the same reason 52lllb!t.Z.. Stomp she had. From then on it was like living in a dream. ln the seventh and eighth grades class officers were chosen and meetings were held, but nothing else was done. Then came the ninth grade, and Frances became a little freshman lady of high school. This year brought many new friends from Eldred, and the class en- larged to sixty-one members. They chose Miss Alberta Wolcott for class adviser and James Gold, Jerry Kervin, Frances Kaluza and Francis Holden for officers. After graduating from junior high school, Frances faced the problem of selecting a course. But this was easy, for she had always wanted to be a nurse and the college course was the best one to prepare her. This year the sophomores chose Miss Ruth Trevorrow adviser and Albert Erickson, Frances Kaluza, Dona Campbell and Betty Rasz- man, officers. Class dues were set at 51.00 a year and a budget sheet for the Washington Trip was sent to the par- ents. The class was divided into three groups to facilitate money-making schemes, and movies furnished the main source of revenue. As juniors the class selected David Hughes, Jack McCord, Frances Kaluza and Donald Minnich as officers, and the first important business was selecting class rings. Then, seeing the Junior Prom approaching, Frances's class began to learn to dance. To make money they sold candy and pop at basketball games, had a Football Hop and a play. Finally they held the never-to-be-forgot- ten Prom and awaited their final year. Here Frances stopped to breathe, for she was in the midst of a slight whirl- wind. Fall of 1942 brought her back to Otto's halls as a sophisticated senior. Class oflicers and adviser remained the same, and the goal was still Washing- ton. Pop, hotdogs and candy helped the bank account, then magazine and Christmas card sales brought in the dough, The class play, Football Hop, Collins Festival programs and dances were the next events. In the meantime, with the storm of war having broken, it was de- cided that a Great Lakes trip would be safer, more convenient and cheaper. With this to look forward to, the seniors began an all out for bazaar, which ended all hard work. Graduation brought Frances and her class to deep-sea thinking and caused many a tear to fall, but they will al- ways bear pleasant memories of their good times together. jambfm, DONALD AULT ....

He had been an eager participant and supporter of senior affairs and belonged to the boys' chorus. Naturally his classmates hated to see him go, but Chuck was will- ing to do his part for America. As a 'Farewell to him and a tribute to his pa- triotism, the seniors gave him a party the night before his induction. Best Looking ...... ....r. Most Bashful ...... ....... Best Actors ...,.

Miss Lillibridge, Mr. Sweitzer I am the finished product-the 1942 Ottocrat speaking to you. Would you like to hear my past ? Eight months ago the seven seniors on my staff started the year with but a slight inkling of what was to come and with very little knowledge of what to do. They spent the first few weeks wondering how they could change me from my older brothers. Then, realizing that pictures are my lifeblood, they became camera conscious. That was while the sun shone bright and long, but as time moved on getting pictures became their maior problem. Next they constructed a dummy of me, and as my editing began, they learned how complex I am. Then, needing inspiration, my constructors went to the Buffalo Press Conference, December 6, to see Brother '41 iudged. They had lots of fun in the big city. After that it was all work-and here l am! But you've got Miss Wolcott and her art students to thank for the grand artistic work! Elizabeth Rodgers, Ann Sprague. Frances Kaluza, Betty Raszman, Ann Sprague. Albert Erickson.

Miss Ressler, Mr. Olson Some goon swiped my Otto Horn! lt's quite possible to hear those words on Friday morning, for the school paper is an integral part of Otto, and the critic, fed well or badly lwe can't sayj, must have his diet. And while the student body fight to get their copies, a few ink-stained souls merely drowse and smile sleepily in appreciation. Yes, they're the staFF. Some- where, sometime, there must be a special heaven for such creatures who work long hours for little glory. The casual subscriber merely reaches for his copy. He does not appreciate the hours spent in writing the articles, typing and spacing, cutting stencils, mimeographing, sorting, stapling and distributing. The Otto Horn has tried to be accurate-accurate in covering the news, accurate in typing and accurate in the mechanics of writing. We believe that, though perfection may be a mirage, improvement from one issue to the next, is our goal, reached and ever yet to be reached. 45 Home conomzlm L. Fisk, J. Schoonmaker, D. Abbott, J.

The members knit mittens, sweaters, suits and scarfs, which will be a great help in the all-out drive for victory. Adviser .... , ...... ............,....,.... Miss Weaver 17' The traditional gym club was divided this year into a senior club for boys able to do diFficult work and a iunior group for those less advanced. April 'I6 these clubs and the girls' gym club pre- sented an assembly program featuring work on the bars, mats and side horse. They also cooperated in the annual Gym Exhibition which portrayed the formal program of physical education used in European countries in contrast to the progressive program of America. Adviser ....

Besides this, the girls worked on things for themselves-some sewed on broom-stick skirts, children's dresses, blouses and aprons, some embroidered lunch cloths and pillow cases, and others macle their own ierkins. . - A To add a final touch to their busy year and to try out their culinary skill, they prepared land atej a very delicious dinner. Under the keen but enioyable supervision of Miss Weaver, their sponsor, the club couldn't help but have been the accomplished group it was. 1 'D' This club is a group from the junior high school whose purpose is to learn the rules, safety regu- lations and skills of girls' sports more thoroughly. Each girl acquires greater personal proficiency in hockey, basketball and softball, gets more enioyable participation and becomes capable of conducting a game according to official rules. Besides their many hockey, basketball and softball games, the girls practiced on the mats and apparatus and on tap, folk and social dancing. A Adviser .... Miss Wright ialaf EW'- Klub D. Walker, L.

Although the membership of the Hi-Y was not large, they enioyed a particularly active year. They had two parties, held to initiate new members, and a dance, to raise money for the club, besides undertaking the work of the hall patrol and carrying on the Bible Study course as prepared by the State Y. M. C. A. One of the highlights of the year was a dance given for the benefit of the local Civilian Defense Fund, February 28. Adviser . Mr. Pollock 15' The Photography Club, which is one of the veteran clubs of the school, is designed to instruct its members in how to take better and more worth-while pictures. They also learn the processes of de- veloping, printing and enlarging those pictures, with practical applications in the club's dark-room.

The Tri-Hi-Y is a service organization-service to the member, the school and the community. Its symbol, the triangle, stands for Body, Mind and Spirit. The aim is a clean mincl in a sound body. Great activity marked this school year-outside speakers, combined meetings with the Hi-Y, sending delegates to the state council and camp, sponsoring the Junior Red Cross drive, ushering for the Christ- mas Community sing, bowling, gym activities, a swimming party and two dances. Adviser .... Miss Wright 'D' The club's first presentation was June Mad, held November 14, under Mrs. Wilmarth's direction. It was a tremendous success, earning 589.81 for the seniors. In January two one-act plays, Jerry Joins In and Thanks Awfully, were presented in assembly. February 26 another three-act production, Sixteen In August, was staged for the benefit of the iuniors and directed by Mrs. Sprout.

Delving into many phases of Commercial, Advertising and Fine Art, members attempted to use many art media such as oils, water color, colored paper, poster board, cloth, many types of crayons and colored pencils, etc. In addition, some of the students spent three-fourths of their time making posters for plays, dances and games. ln this work they continually tried to make the finished product appealing to the public.

Members are chosen from a long waiting list of students who apply for appointment and are selected for their good citizenship, ability to lead and direct, natural fitness and teamwork. The A. A.

These two organizations have a total membership of approximately ninety students, taken from the upper grades in the high school. Directed by Miss Hoover and Mr. Field respectively, they meet in sep- arate groups one activity period each week and sing together on special occasions. ln groups of this sort an attempt is made to discover and strive for the enioyment that can be ob- tained from beautiful choral music. Also, with such a number of voices it is always interesting to observe the blends and harmonies which this music demands. From these two organizations a girls' ensemble and a boys' quartet were selected, which entered the annual music contest in the spring. Directors Miss Hoover Mr. Field Bop' J KILDJUIA, D. Hulse, J.

Director Mr. Field The Otto Musical Tops are an up-and-coming swing band that was origin- ated in the fall by Mr. Aiken and very ably carried on by Mr. Field. They have become very popular with Otto dancers and are rapidly learning the fundamen- tals of iazz playing, which may result in the creation of a Kay Kyser or a Glenn Miller. They practice twice a week, in the evening, and have built up their lib- rary to about eighty popular pieces. Their usefulness to the school has been proved time and again as they spon- sored dances of their own and played for those held by other' organizations such as the Hi-Y and Tri-Hi-Y. Boasting a baritone soloist, Don Hulse, and a girls' trio, Betty Shirey, Patty Snow and Shirley Mayes, the band furnishes good entertainment itself and occa- sionally features a guest artist. Richard Baker is their business manager and the other Tops and their posi- tions are Francis Spencer, Betty Straight, Lewis Loop and Walter Snow-saxo- phonesp Richard Baker, Donald Shoff, Pauline Brown, Richard Sullivan, Donald Hulse and Floyd St. Clair-brass, La Vern Straight-flute, Frances Kaluza, accor- dion, Dona Campbell-piano, Gordon Cooper-drums. 54 Konica, Svlobxia, B.

This contest was the preliminary one forthe state contest which was held this year at Bloomsburg, so that winners there could compete with those from all over the state. Weeks of practice and study naturally had to precede these performances and each contestant learned the need for concentrated work and attainment of the ability to play his two selections, one required of all contestants and one selected by the individual player, in a skillful and masterly manner. ln addition to that, both pieces had to be completely memorized.

It is im- portant that each individual be given a chance to explore and find out her favorite activities. We have tried to give everyone a chance to choose the sports in which she can achieve some degree of perfection and feel the exhilaration of physical skill. To this end we have tried to offer somewhere in the six year program as many different activities as possible so that each individual may choose the one or ones that suit her tastes and abili- ties. Many of the incidents occurring on the playing field continually illustrate similarities between athletics and life. For one thing one is rewarded for what he does. What one gets out of the game depends upon what he puts into it. We have tried to develop in individuals these truisms of athletic competition: Play fair, with no foul tackles. The great- est compliment that can be paid a person no matter how much he may have achieved is that he kept his record clean. Plays are planned for a group of players to execute, not ten or five. You play the game- grandstands were built for spectators. Weak men wait for opportunities. Strong men make them. Never lose confidence in yourself. They conquer who believe they can. Make your goal. Never quit in midfield. Your body is the only one that you will ever have to live in. Develop and maintain it. Throughout the six years she is in iunior and senior high school, each girl has an opportun- ity to try the following sports: badminton, soft- ball, basketball, gymnastics, hockey, quoits, soccer, speedball, tennis, volleyball, winter sports, deck tennis, shuffie-board, track and field, and tap, folk, modern and social dan- cing. Besides having an opportunity to par- ticipate in these various activities each girl, by the time she has completed her senior year, not only knows the rules and regulations for all of these sports but can officiate in the sport in which she is particularly interested. 'i Fielding H. Yost, Sports for Recreation. ducatwn, An intramural program was carried out in the three maior sports-hockey, basketball and softball. Seventy per cent of the girls in the school participated in these games. During the fall the eleventh grade defeated all other classes on the field. The basketball intra- murals saw the eighth grade the winners in the junior high school and the eleventh grade the winners in the senior high school. These two teams played, with the result that the eleventh grade won by a score of 33 to that of 3 for the eighth grade. A group of girls representing Otto defeated Port Allegany on their own hockey field 7-0. The basketball team defeated Port Allegany 37-5 and the Alumni 33-'l7. By defeating the faculty they completed a second year of sports undefeated. SQUAD ,Football Coach Kribbs, l.. Yale, A. Freeman, H. Bunker, R. Wurster, G Sholf, S. Hanks, R. Sanderson P. Kahle, S.

Otto Defeats Port 20-0 Otto defeated Port Allegany 20-O for their third victory of the campaign. The second team played most of the game after the varsity settled the scoring for the afternoon. Otto-Youngsville Game is Cancelled Otto's game with Youngsville was cancelled due to a mild case of infantile paralysis in the Rixford school. Otto Wins Otto defeated ci hard fighting Bradford team 25-6 for the fourth straight victory. Two 80-yard runs by Otto featured the game. Otto Township Terrors Win 33-0 Otto rang up its fifth victory at the expense of a hapless Port Allegany team 33-0.

V. graduates, Coach Wilcox began prac- tices early in November. The Terrors won 14 out of 20 games during the year and were hot on the heels of the seemingly perpetual league champions, Mt. Jewett. Starting the season with a bang, the Terrors rolled up their largest score, 46-7, against Austin. The following week they continued to roll when they de- feated Shinglehouse 29-13. Then came two losses to Coudersport and St. Bernard, both of which were fully recompensed when the Terrors tore Ludlow apart 42-17 for their first league encounter. The following Friday, December 19, they traveled to Mt. Jewett where they were defeated 19-21 in a heart-breaking game. Coming back from Christmas vacation proved too much as the Terrors were shaded by Wilcox 21-24. Hitting their stride once more they bowled over Smeth- port 35-16 for their second league win. Shinglehouse, Port Allegany and Eldred were knocked off in quick succession. The Terrors then gained sweet revenge for an earlier loss to Coudersport by defeating them 30-26 in a well played game onthe home boards. They then trav- eled to Ludlow's small floor where they played like champions in turning Jubon and crowd back by a 45-38 score. Again it was time to meet Mt. Jewett and the Otto gym was packed to the doors and beyond. A hard-fought game followed which saw the Terrors rally and then lose by one basket in overtime. This score of 24-26 shut the doors on the championship. Rather shaky after this encounter, the Terrors were hard-pressed to defeat the improved Smethport team 26-23. The Terrors then traveled to Bradford to play St. Bernard in a game which was decided by foul shots. The Bernies sank the most and won 19-22. The team then polished off Port Allegany, Wilcox Cwhich revenged another defeatl and Eldred to finish the regular, scheduled season. In a post season game with St. Petersburg, which is coached by Bob McKen- zie, former Otto basketball star, the Terrors turned in a superb finale to a good season by defeating the boys from Clarion County 44-15. Even though this was a successful year, our greatest ambition still is to de- throne the Mounties. 65 Spmta, ciufaqmpha, CCACHES FOOTBALL BASKETBALL GIRLS COACH CAPTAINS FOOTBALL BASKETBALL MEMBERS CF TEAM FOOTBALL BASKETBALL CHEERLEADERS X Xi Minnich, J.

Bagaan, The night of March 13, found Otto High staged for a most spectacular occurrence! The bustling, bustling seniors had worked hard the night before when even parents had been seen pounding nails, hanging cloth, draping paper, to give a sparkling look to our other wise quite barren halls. But this striking beauw hadn't originated in a day, for the sen- iors had been making preparations for two weeks. Dick Baker worked frantically at the door selling those all-important door tickets which meant a guitar or electric food warmer for the holder of the lucky number. There was excitement in the air and mingled noises and smells pervaded the atmosphere. Mouth- watering odors floated from the Home Economics room which had been converted into the Kozy Korner . Mr. and Mrs. Hulse, Mrs. Baker and Mrs. Parsons, with the help of several undergraduates, served as waiters and short order cooks. Very close to the entrance of Kozy Korner stood an attractive platform in red, white and blue which was covered with corsages and plants. Betty and Mrs. Raszman displayed these Flowers for Victory and smilingly helped customers. Directly below, came weird noises and back tingling screams from the House of Hor- rors, engineered by Don Hulse, Chuck Parsons and Al Erickson. Pitch blackness, electric shocks, misleading planks, crashing symbols and cold wet furs were the instruments of horror. Back in the center of activity, Cap Freeman mockingly laughed from the Ring-a- Cane stand as the rings missed their mark, and sadly handed the lucky tossers a beautiful cane. Across the hall, Thurman Bishop shoved some pennies in front of the noses of pas- sers-by while Bob Goodsell, Wilbur Childs and Jim Gold sold pop ata nearby stand. O JL fdgtldll, From within the auditorium shrieking laughter reached the ears of those in the halls. Little did they know what fun they were missing in not sitting in on the Truth or Conse- quences and Shadow Operation shows. At the other end of the building Jim Smith was busy selling chances on gasoline, an electric clock and defense stamps. Betty Wiles' and Forrest Smith's Fish Pond offered many prizes while Mrs. Freeman worked in a booth which displayed native handiwork. Right next door the Novelty and Perfume booth, very prettily decorated by June Monroe and Yvonne Houck, offered sweet- smelling articles. Bingo! Bingo! Jack McCord and Byron Brainard cried from their room which was stacked with varied prizes, while on the lower floor noise of falling pins warned one that the iuniors had their bowling alley in full swing. In addition, more wood was falling as Don Ault, Bob Sprague and Homer Palmer handed would be pitchers baseballs with which to scatter milk bottles. In the gym the dance, with music furnished by the Allen Boys, was in progress. Dave Hughes, Catherine Burrell, Ann Sprague, Clarence Sprague, Donald Minnich and Marjorie Sheff were there to insure the dancers comfort. Saturday, the fourteenth, saw few changes except for a play staged by the Olean Little Theater Guild, and dance music played by Carl Wisniewski. The seniors worked to the wee hours of Sunday morning, keeping afoot only by the thoughts of what they had made, which, by the way, was 356343. fm., Uwn, mmm og om yup V W W A DA A Wig, Uwn, Fictuxum, UL Um Jfulv- 'il LP A IE-3 A 47 ddvf..

The wedge-shaped symbols impressed in plastic clay by Babylonian builders in the dim past, foreshadowed me, from them, on through the hieroglyphs of the ancient Egyptians, down to the beautiful manuscript letters of the medieval scribes, I was in the making. With the golden vision of the ingenious Gutenberg, who first applied the principle of casting me in metal, the profound art of printing with movable types was born. Cold, rigid, and im- placable I may be, yet the first impress of my face brought the Divine Word to countless thousands. I bring into the light of day the precious stores of knowledge and wisdom long hidden in the grave of ignorance. I coin for you the enchanting tale, the philosopher's moralizing and the poet's phantasies, I enable you to exchange the irksome hours that come, at times, to every one, for sweet and happy hours with books- golden urns filled with all the manna of the past. In the books I pre- sent to you a portion of the eternal mind caught in its progress through the world, stamped in an instant, and preserved for eternity. Through me, Socrates and Plato, Chaucer and the Bards, become your faithful friends who ever surround and minister to you.
