The Educational Hi hway HO KNOWS where any road comes from, or where it eventually leads? When we entered our first year of high school, we em- barked on a long journey. Our Freshman year we emerged from the wilderness to travel upon the rough road of our Sophomore year. We tried to heed carefully our teachers, the policemen along our way. Our progress was measured by milestones, our report cards. We found the going easier during our Junior year, although the road twisted and turned in many places. The road signs were our extracurricular activities, pointing the way toward a more en- joyable, better-adjusted social life. One of our many outstanding Junior classmates was vice- president of the Student Council. Over forty hardworking, talented Juniors strived this year to make our Dramatics Club a successful tribute to our school. Many participated in vocal or instrumental music. The highlight of our Junior year was the fabulous Junior Prom, staged with the added efforts of our class advisors, Mr. Truman and Mrs. Meyers. Perhaps the most important signposts along our road were athletics. The Juniors did our class proud in every Held, of which basketball, football, wrestling, track, and baseball were prominent. Junior girls composed a major num- ber of our cheerleaders, who inspired our teams to victory. All of us hope to cross all bridges and avoid all detours in our Senior year. Traveling down the various roads of our school-life, we shall come next year to a definite crossroad, providing a challenge for us to build bigger and better highways through our life. So we must not pause in our journey toward our final goal, that of entering the super-highway-the road of life.

There are all kinds of roads in school as well as roads in and around the world. The Sophomore Class, the graduating class of '56, has progressed slowly but surely along the road of education. To help us along this sometimes smooth and sometimes rough road we elected Mrs. Nichols as our class advisor and the following capable officers: Phil Manchester, president, Bob Jenk- ins, vice-president, Jim Wright, secretary g Joan Perry, treasurer, Bev Moses and Ronnie Trice, Student Council representatives. Of course, the going gets tough and the road seems to have more and more ruts. We noticed this change when we tried the Big Three - Latin, biology, and geometry. Many of the sophomore girls are preparing for a secretarial career so they struggle with typing, shorthand, etc. Of course, the boys are trying at every turn to conquer such courses as shop, agriculture and higher mathematics. The sophomore class is very proud of the fact that the Junior Varsity Cheerleaders are all sophomores. They are: Jill,' Gillette, HBev Moses, '4Maggie Courtright, Dorolyn Raftis and Suzie Dickinson. These happy leaders en- courage the boys on the teams and the spectators with their lively and rousing cheers. Not to be outdone by the cheerleaders, there are also quite a few sophomore boys on the J.V. squad. Trudging along together we go, shoulder to shoulder, friends, we hope, now and forever. The road has been rough in places but all in all this past year at O. F. A. has been one of happiness.
