ENGINEERS The hul) that keeps the wheels of the Ot- tumwa High School turning smoothly is a perfect description of the engineers of our school. Very often students do not fully re- alize the importance of this group, probably, lx cause they never see them at work. Most of their tasks are done before the students get to school, while they are in class, or after they have been dismissed. The perfect condition of the school, how- ever, is a constant reminder that the custodi- ans are never idle. Cleaning of the many rooms, manipulating all of the mechanical de- vices, and operating the heating units are only a small | ortion of their daily work. Basket- ball and football also bring many other duties since both the stadium and the gymnasium are under their supervision. Under the capable direction of Mr. Leslie Thompson, who is in charge of all Ottumwa schools, and Mr. Chester Miers, the engineers of the Ottumwa High School will continue to make it a school of which all students will be proud.

The high school record of this class has been a brilliant one, bright with successes and honors attained by the class as a whole and by the individuals within the class. Their three years at Ottumwa I ligh School have l een crammed with outstanding achievements in every field. Many excellent dramatic productions were staged with their talent, athletics reached a new high, boasting top-notch football anti basketball teams, while track came into its own with many members of the class of '46 participating in the first meets held in the beautiful new stadium. With their talents, the seniors have gained for Ot- tumwa High School a place of renown through- out the state in fields of music and declamatory, as well as athletics. New records were set for the financial successes of such projects as the Junior Car- r nival and Junior-Senior prom. Schol- astic standards were maintained at a high level. The members of the class of 1946 will long remember the thrill of receiv- ing their diplomas, and the feeling of regret that all of them experienced when they realized that they must leave the familiar good times l ehind them to start on new and untried paths. They will also remember the fun of working aided by the efficient class officers. They, too, will recall the guidance offered them by their competent class adviser. Miss Florence Fast. All of these things will be recollected by them these and many, many more, each one a vital part of their outstanding high school career. Page 23 Fame with wisdom we will mix. We're the class of '46.
