Otto Eldred High School - Ottocrat Yearbook (Otto Township, PA)

oreword N a world that has been so tragically occupied with a second World War, the production of a yearbook may seem inconsequential. 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
