THE members of the Junior Class, have now reached third base and are working diligently to cross home plate which is graduation. We are grateful to the coaches. our parents and teachers, who have helped us reach third. With their continued help. we are confident of scoring for O. F. A. We, the graduating class of '56, are proud of the contributions that the members of our class have made. both in the field of scholar- ship and in extra-curricular activities. High on our batting order are Barry Billings, Linda Brown, Francis Gray, Dorothy Kemp. Richard Morey. Ralph Thomas, and Doris Very. In athletics, we also have a high percentage. Half of our football and basketball varsity squads were composed of juniors, as were our wrestling. baseball. track. and tennis teams. Also. four junior girls were on the varsity basketball cheering squad. Then, too, there are the other activities, such as band, orchestra, concert chorus, choir, dra- matics and Junior Red Cross, in which we juniors took an active part. However, we juniors agree that if it were not for the excellent counsel of our advisers. Miss Curtis and Mr. Truman, our class would not have been one of the most successful. With their help we put on one of the biggest record dances in the history of the school. For St. Patrickis Day we made shamrock favors-the sale of which turned out to be a good money- making project. We also held a very successful bake sale. Last, but far from least, was the Prom, the biggest single event of the year. Now as most of us head for home, we leave with the hope of having made a good im- pression for those on first and second. We are confident that, with hard work, we shall make one of the greatest scores that the O. F. A. has ever had.

When we were in grade school. we were in the minor leagues. ln .lunior High School we were promoted to the second string in the major leagues. But. now the going was getting rough. Our amhition was to get on the first string team. Finally we made it at the end of the eighth grade. and each of us was given a chance to decide what position in the field he wanted. This, of course. meant choosing a special course. The first year we started working in earnest to make at least first base. ln other words. we were working on the points that would deter- mine the hit or strike-out we might make in our future careers. At the end of our freshman year we were on first base. Then as sophomores with our instructors drilling the fundamentals of the game into us, we were striving toward second base, still specializing in order to hecome more proficient in our chosen courses. After our regular work was done, we began to explore other fields in order to broaden our interests and skills. lVlanv of the sophomores are in U. F. Afs concert chorus. orchestra or band. Some of the girls in this vearls Sophomore Class have made very good cheerleaders and majorettes. Some of the hoys have made their mark in sportsg basketball. wrestling, etc. All of our sophomore activities have been well planned, largely because of the very good work of our adviser. Mr. Browng our class president. Pete Malloryg our vice-president Gary llootg our secretary. Allan Cowe and our treasurer, Alice liussell. School. like basehall. is based on the in- dividual's ability as well as that of the team. Vile are learning to Hplay the game and whether we win or lose we will try to lrecome good sportsmen in every sense of the word.
