Senior Class Officers THE LAST MILE At long last we, the members of the Senior Class, will have reached our goal. Soon we, the 1942 class will have placed in our hands the diploma, cher- ished symbol of high school life. When we receive that diploma, the sudden realization that our high school career has come to an abrupt end will sweep over us. Memories will Hash before our eves, memories ol history, mathe- matics and other classes and subjects necessary to reach our educational goal. The social side of our school life will not pass by unnoticed. Memories of parties, picnics, the Senior Prom and other dances will linger with us. Re- membrances of athletic prowess, dramatic ability, musical talent, and dis- tinction in (he fields of speech and art will be cherished thoughts in years to come. ♦ Miss Cki:s yi:i i , Aik iser I Iakvky Wake, President Bob Williams, Vice-Presidenl Bii.i. Amos, Secretary Fkani i ■■ M n ii m i , Treasurer We are not unmindful of the teachers who have so willingly guided us through these four years. Under the capable and willing guidance of our class officers and under the leadership of Miss Creswell, our class adviser, we feel that we have attained a glorious ending to our four year high school career. Harvey Gabby Ware, as president, has guided our class through our four years in high school with distinction. Never before in the school ' s history has the same person been chosen as class president all four years. As teacher, adviser, and friend. Miss Creswell has never failed the class as a whole or as individuals. Without her aid our achievements might never have been attained. Her advice and counsel were always freely given. To her the Senior class extends a heart-felt thank-vou. Page 21

ENGINEERS CAFETERIA Behind the scenes of our school are men and women of whom we are scarcely aware as being a part of our efficient system. These are the engineers who help keep the wheels of Ottumwa High School running; yet, it is to them we owe the cleanliness and beauty of the building. Every day and even at night some work to keep our building in order. No nov- ices at this work are these en- gineers, three of whom have been on our staff for about fifteen years. Each of these engineers has his part to play in keeping our school in perfect order. Many people probably do not realize what an important part the school cafeteria plays in our school life. Every day more than five hundred people eat there. About three hundred students use the cafeteria to eat the lunches which they bring from home each day, and approximately two hun- dred people buy lunches which have been prepared by our efficient cooks, Mrs. Thompson and Mrs. Bottorff. Mrs. Thompson has been with our school cafeteria for about eighteen years, assisted by Mrs. Bottorf who has been here for about eight years. Ernest Wilkinson.
