The results accomplished by our faculty cannot be recorded by high-fidelity, but their endeavors are etched permanently, upon all the successful students who have and will graduate from this school. An Apple For the Teacher is an old record, but it is a sym- bolic act that has been and is repeated often in schools. To this symbol of thanks, we Seniors, add our sincere gratefulness. 9 Ralph L. Sweitzer Our E ' ed rfuperviror P I Artists record their interpreta- tions of musical compositions on records of wax. You, the member of The Class of 1959, have already made records .... ones which may equal, or surpass, those of any other class. Many records of character, integrity and achieve- ment. May each of your accom- plishments be a recording in high fidelity. R. L.Sweitzer Row 1: E.Hess, R. Haynes, R. Hulse, R. Lawrence, I.Biggins, A.Barnes, C.Fitzsimmons, G.Wood.

Seventeen elected school board members , serving without compensation, devote much time in providing schools comparable to the finest in our land. To these men we owe our opportunity to study, achieve, and to compete with well-trained young people everywhere. Our sincere thanks is not enough! Let us show by our attitudes and accomplishments that their efforts have been appre- ciated. ELCOME Getting To Know You seems to be an appropriate song title to express our feelings toward our new principal, Mr. Finnessy. In his former position at the Lawrence Park High School, he achieved the respect of all acquaintances, as he diligently worked at being an assistant coach and yearbook advi- sor. His training has been beneficial to all as he has given constructive criticisms and worthwhile guidance. Being the father of three children, our principal is well qualified to fulfill his duties as counselor to the stu- dents . Mr. Finnessy has obtained many friend- ships within school and out in the few months that he has resided here. John I. Finnessy Under T be Guidance 0 Our New Prineqnal Rewards Are Many 12 Q M.

Mrs. Hess and Mrs. Van Scooter have been with us several years while Mrs. Walker joined us recently. Preparation and filing of student and school records, is their responsibility. The responsibility of supervising our elementary school system rests upon Mr. Childs. With his help, the elementary teachers are able to prepare our young pupils on their way to becoming high school students . Harold T. Childs A .

Classes, study halls, and activities all combine to form a teacher's well-filled and busy day. Every student is familiar with the mu- sic heard throughout the halls that eman- ates from Mr. Swoyer's juke-box. Before, during, and after school its welcome re- frains help to make each student's day more enjoyable . Though classes and the knowledge taught therein by our teachers is paramount, music enriches all. 'NGN Mr. Nichols Finnessy Partchey Fazio and Nelson meet after school . Q. ,Q Q ....

This consumes only a small por- tion of their time after the class day. Things such as: preparing the next day's lessons and composing tests add to these after school hours. Many teachers must return to the school in the evening for various meetings, rehearsals and activi- ties . class. 5 my an-ff , A his J, 43: -it lc, ,' lg A A , I. Wilcox W. Wilcox J. Wolcott M.

Almost every student has a record coilection which gives to him many hours of relaxation Playing the top ten on their hi-fi's relieves the day's pressures and helps them to prepare for an evening of social relaxation. Now, words like Pat, Elvis, and Ricky are becoming a part of the teen-agers growing vocabulary. This shows that music plays a very important role in the underclassman's development from ado- lescence to maturity. i i 1 't 'f. r-'XJ I . -Q, ,.

Students eagerly await the activity period where they can express and enjoy their many and diverse talents. Taking advantage of this opportunity to demonstrate their 1' V' er if al' 4 4 Y J. fs! f l 0 2 ' if f ' creative abilities gives them several moments of pleasure and experi- ences in using these abilities in specific categories that otherwise would be unknown to them. Many members of the student body who participate in school pub- lications and musical organizations spend numerous after school hours in preparing written material and musical numbers for their respective organizations . These tedious activities are carried out well by the de- pendable students of the Otto-Eldred School. af- ' 4,42 f? 4? elif-1 A '1 1, , :ff f 1- '. , M, 71- lf H- .X ' s5'Z Q 'i iw ,,.,,V Y: , -,.

The Otto Horn staff is selected from a number of stu- dents who in the early fall of each school year indicate an interest in being a member of the school paper's staff. The editor, who at this time is Elaine Talbott, has underclassmen as assistants each year, during this term being Kathye Wasson and Judy Alexis . Thus continu- ous preparation and training on the staff is made possible. The paper prints news of classes, clubs, and extra-curricular activities which is compiled through reporters appointed by the staff . The covers and illustrations are ably done by the art editors, Carol Bradt, Kay Seibert, and Fred Parker. Bob Curtis, capable sports editor, is respon- sible for coverage of junior and senior varsity ath letic contests . The Production Staff, publishers of the paper, have as their manager Kathy Stark. T reva Mc- Call, circulation manager, plus the other mem- bers of the staff all work in the assembling, typ- ing and printing of the Otto Horn. Miss Balsiger and Miss Kaluza are the Otto Hom advisors. 59 PW? J ,M aria My WL fa ,M lj, Row 1 fKnee1ingyg J,Schwab, T,Danie1son, R, Moyer, D,Bennett, M.Campbe11, D.Van Scorer, T, Jones, D,Mong.

Seventeen band members traveled to Port Allegany in February to take part in a public concert. Highly honored by selection to the DistIict Band were Nancy Harlan, Joe Snow, Nancy Alexis and Bill Duff. These students are highly skilled on their respec- tive instruments, the bassoon, the tympani, the clarinet, and the baritone sax.

Recom' Autumn Leaves again marked the start and ending of another football sea- son. Our season can best be described as coming in like a lion and going out like a lamb. The first two games proved to be impressive wins as we romped to victory. Although the remaining games proved to be disappointing, the will to win was noticed in every game . The team and coaches were highly elated over the victory of Port Allegany which seemed to mark the way to a tremendous season. But once again the jinx prevailed.
