Senior Class Officers •» Miss Schick Clark Wymorb Roy Stevens Adviser President Vice President Bill Bell Don Farrington Secretary Treasurer During the four high school years through which each student passes, there are many setbacks and many disappointments, and yet, when the student strolls down the aisle as a graduating senior and pauses to reflect upon the past four years, he realizes that it was well worth the struggle. We, the class of 1943, will ever after re- member our high school years as perhaps the happiest, least complicated, and freest days of our lives. As we leave our “dear old Alma Mater ' the memory of our four years' rise will come over us—for as lowly freshman we timidly entered the big halls of O. II. S. and as conquering seniors we proudly strut forth. We've endeavored to gain many good traits during this period and it was toward this goal we have striven. There are people who are thrifty with money, who throw away golden moments as if they were of no value. Long before we arc old, we will come to regret the time we wasted in our youth, but there is one thing we will never regret—the time and attention given to our school work and extra-curricular activi- ties during our high school years. We hope that an observer of the four years' record we leave at O. II. S. will sec that we seniors have tried to learn the value of time. In this era, in which strong bodies and minds play such an important role in the lives of young people, we trust the evidence of this fine characteristic is prominent in the present graduating class. All through our school days we, the members of this class, have tried to play and work with unceasing vigor to build up our bodies and minds for the things ex- pected from us after graduation. From our ranks have come some of this year’s heroes of football and basketball, the dramatic stars, and the outstanding musicians all imbued with a desire to make our school the best in good sportsmanship. We believe that among the members of our class there are many of these good sportsmen, whether they have been prominent in activities or not. They are those whose spirit of sacrifice, service, and co-operation has endured al! the cycle of school years—they’ve all cheered and rooted for our school and class enthusiastically; but they've also taken defeat smilingly. We are unceasingly grateful to all the teachers who have so tirelessly and willingly helped us in our high school life, and especially our thanks and gratitude are extended to Miss Schick, our class adviser, whose aid to the class of '45 has never been lacking. We leave our place as seniors to the junior class in hopes that they will have as many memories of a wonderful high school life of study and play as will return to us in coming years. Through the knowledge gained in our application of study we feel that “the largest class ever to be graduated from O. H. S.“ is now ready to depart for the outside world with our class motto before us— “To success we have the key. We're the class of '43.'' Page 17
