William Fisk Ottumwa High Engineers, our house- keepers,” are engaged the vear around in the beautifying of our school. The lovely grounds, halls, and classrooms have a well-kept appear- ance because of this efficient staff. During our summer vacation, they repaint the halls and rooms, refinish the desks, and make all necessary repairs dealing with the upkeep of our building. This gioup aims to keep our modern heating plant functioning properly for the comfort and health, of the twelve hundred students and teachers within the school. The engineers are kept especially busy during the football and basketball seasons. Very few students realize the work put in by them, as most of it is done early each morning and dur- ing our class periods. To accomplish their vital tasks, the engineering force must have the full co-operation of every high school student. Flossie Johnson—she does have n leisure moment occasionally. Pace 19

 Vice-President Rookk Younkin Secretary Janet Rkkdquist Treasurer “Onward, upward is our fate, In ’51 we graduate” Miss Fast, Class Adviser One of the largest Sophomore classes ever to enter Ottumwa High School was ushered in amid the shining of numerous shoes and the carrying of books. We feel that this was ap- appropriatc, for our resourceful members have continued to shine in all phases of their high school life, and have helped carry the burden of upholding the high standard of our school. Through the helpful guidance of our teach- ers, we of the Sophomore Class have laid the foundation upon which to complete the struc- ture of our high school education. In addi- tion to our classroom studies, members of our class have taken part in dramatics, speech, sports, and journalism, have elected represen- tatives to the Student Council, and had mem- bers in the band, orchestra, and choruses. The Bullpuns, our sophomore athletic team, have made the class, as well as the school, proud of them. We are sure they will be an excellent addition to the Bulldogs next year. The class of '51 has been efficiently led by Lawrence Nelson, president; David Lundeen, vice-president; Roger Younkin, secretary; and Janet Recdquist, treasurer, under the guidance of Miss Florence Fast, our much admired adviser. We feel that our Sophomore year has been a very worthwhile and enjoyable one. How- ever, we are looking forward to the time when we will be upper classmen, and can continue to shine and carry our share of the load in our school.
