Yet to us this bool: is a precious document ot a democratic way ot lite whose preservation gives purpose to the conflict. The choice of a theme was easy this year. There was only one thought in every mind - peace in the Postwar World. Even here in the comparative satety and security ot a small American town, the shadow of war has passed over most ot us leaving grief, loneliness and anxiety in its wake. As we watched the familiar faces of teachers and tellow-students disappear, one after the other, from halls and class-rooms, we thought more and more seriously of the tuture. lt seemed to us that hardy seeds ot tolerance, keen judgment, understanding, generosity and cooperation must be planted deep in the minds and hearts ot the young people ot every nation it another generation is not to find even Otto High in the path ot inevitable destruction. Although the year may have been less carefree tor us than tor the graduates of a peacetime Otto, nonetheless it has contained studies, teachers, friends, parties whose memories we shall treasure as long as we live. As the storehouse of that treasure, we proudly present the ninth edition ot our yearbook - the I9-55 OTTOCRAT. - The Senior Class Otto High School May, l945 edication To lhe Posfwar World, where ihe hope for brofherhoocl, peace and prosperiiy among men lies in 'rhe eclucafion of Hs youfh, +he Senior Class of OHo High School dedicaies fhe I945 OTTOCRAT.

S, Mr. Gerber Associated with the Otto Township Schools lor the past eleven years, Mr,Gerber has become an outstanding individual and leader ot this vicinity, His accomplishments are many, and his increasing help in turthering educational tacilities in the community has proved invaluable. From September to March, of this year, during Mr. Sweitzefs absence on a sick leave, Mr. Gerber tool: over the duties ot principal in addition to his worlc as supervising principal. He gave unstinted help and cooperation to both students and faculty. In March of this year, Mr. Gerber accepted the position of secretary and manager ot the Bradford Board of Commerce. Their gain is our loss. To Mr. Gerber. we proffer our thanks tor his untiring efforts on our behalt, and our earnest wishes for success in his new position. LEO F. GERBER B. S. M. Ed.

I3 MARJORIE LOOP ELIZABETH RODGERS ln Appreciation l l l The Senior Class owes rnuch to our class adviser, Miss Stewart. ln the past two years she has given us her cooperation wholeheartedly. She has worked hard and has been a wise counselor in all our social affairs and class proiects. Miss Stewart is not leaving all the problems ot the Postwar World to others. Last year, in addition to her regular English and Latin classes. she started a Spanish Club for students interested in the la' guage. Realizing the importance df peaceful relations and understanding with Latin America, especially our South American neighbors, we feel Miss Stewart is offering something tangible toward the attainment of that goal. Her kind understanding and readiness to support all our class activities will always be remembered, and it is with deep gratitude that we extend to hen our heartfelt thanks and appreciation.

As a theme we chose Peace in the Postwar World with the hope that this dream would be realized, andthe graduating class of I946 could go into a world tree from war. We knew this theme would have real significance to all. War time shortages caused difficulties in obtaining the cover and materials, but we refused to be discouraged. We tried to malce the i945 OTTOCRAT an accurate recording ot the school events ot the year. a reminder of the pleasant times in everyday school life, a reflection ot the memorable happenings in sports, dramatics and other activities. lt was hard work, but well worth the ettorl.

Its purpose is to promote scholarship, leadership, character and service among high school students, and all candidates are rated accordingly. ln addition to possessing these characteristics they must be in the upper third ot their classes. Only tive per cent ot the eleventh grade and fifteen per cent ot the twelfth are elected. Final choice is made by the school faculty. The Otto High chapter ot the National Honor Society was organized in I938, the tirst ceremony being held on May 20 ot that year. Since then approximately titty stu- dents have been enrolled from Otto. Members ot the National Honor Society can truly be proud for they have exhibited those qualities which will be ot the greatest value in the Postwar World. Gordon Cooper Jean Miller Robert Rodgers 63 SENIOR DRAMATIC CLUB Adviser: Miss Frances Jones The Senior Dramatic Club met a new adviser this year, Miss Jones. Under her direc- tion they were taught stage directions, stage settings, how to talk before an audience, correct posture and how to apply makeup properly. When the Senior Class presented its annual play, Best Foot Forward, the club had an opportunity to show its abilities. The results were more than satisfying since the play was one of the most successful that Otto has ever seen. Next on the schedule came the Junior play - Here Come the Brides. After the spectacular success of the Senior play, it was inevitable that the Otto auditorium should again be packed to capacity: and again the audience was given all it expected in the form of a rollicking, entertaining play presented by a competent cast. ln addition to these triumphs the Senior Dramatic Club presented a highly entertain- ing assembly program called Truth or Consequences, patterned atter the radio show of that title and advertising Sudsy-Wudsy Soap Flakes. The participants had little opportunity to tell the truth, and the consequences were hilarious.

William Hun.,rv.iis, edwards Adams, Mark Bacha, , X65 SPANISH CLUB Advisor: Miss Margaret Stewart How better can one prepare for a good-neighbor policy with Latin America than by learning the Spanish language? In order to do something about this question, Otto's Spanish Club met three times a week. True, the progress was sometimes rather slow, but without doubt progress was made. What did the Club learn? How to tell time, count. conjugate ordinary verbs, name the more common foods, give ditterent forms et greetings, name colors, obiects in a room, days of the week and months of the year. Occasionally some translation or idiom caused a considerable amount ot confusion until Miss Stewart explained the ditticulty away. Within the coming years. the members of the Club expect to use their knowledge ct Spanish to great advantage. Some va:ation might find them traveling in South America. 5Quien sabe?
