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.

Route 195 CCORDING to our dictionary a road is an open way for passage or travel. When we were in kindergarten we started to travel the long road ahead of us. Then, Route 1957 seemed so smooth, straight and wide, but each succeed- ing year we found that the road appeared more difficult to travel. Eventually, we realized the need for a road map to help us find the correct routes. We have obtained very good advice from the road signs which are placed at intervals to help us, and guide us around detours, forks, and curves. Some of us have heeded the road signs and road maps, while others have disregarded them, only to meet with disaster. There are 122 Freshmen traveling along this road. All of us have met with some roadblock at one time or another. In the early part of our Freshman year we paused beside the road to select some officers or leaders to direct our course. We elected Joshuean Shafer as our president, Jane Gillette, vice-president, Nancy Fowler, secretary, and Alice Russell, treasurer. We elected Raymond Baker and Lois Russell as members of the Stu- dent Council and chose Mr. Bradley Gormel, our Class Advisor. To be prepared for any obstacles which we might Find on the road, we had regular class meetings to discuss our class and ways we could improve it. We have had fun as well as work along this road. Our freshman initiation proved to us that we must always have a sense of humor and good sportsmanship to be successful. We hope that by the time we reach the home stretch along Route 1957 we will be better pre- pared to be useful members of our community.
