Our class officers for this year were: President, Myron Mohr; Vice President, Greg Hornish; Secretary, Sandra Bidlack; Treasurer, Mildred Shisler; News Reporter, Marilyn Grove; and Stu¬ dent Council Representative, Charlene Brown. In October we were initiated by the sophomores, making us feel like real high school students. In September, 1957, we entered the school doors as sophomores. Those who didn ' t return were Jeanetta Good, Shirley Mobley, and Michael Singer. During the year we lost Ellen Bidlack. Our class officers for this year were: President, Jack Oliver; Vice President, Greg Hornish; Secretary, Wilma Porter; Treasurer, Marilyn Grove; News Reporter, Myron Mohr; and Student Council Representative, Sandra Bidlack. Our advisors were Mr. Rohrs and Mr. Thoburn. This year we initiated the freshmen and had different money-making activities. The next September we found ourselves entering as juniors with Mr. Rohrs as our advisor. Those who didn ' t return were Charlene Deatrick, Terry Eblin, Nancy Horner, Lulu Bell Wilder, and Gary Yoh. Those we lost during the year were Janice Aldrich, Catherine Miller, Kathleen Rhees, and Ruth Teegarden. We added two new members to our class, Sandra Hubbard and Charles Baker. Our class officers for the junior year were: President, Myron Mohr; Vice President, Jack Oliver; Secretary, Marilyn Grove; Treasurer, Sandra Bidlack; News Reporter, Phillip Brown; and Student Council Representatives, Greg Hornish and Jack Oliver. This year we were pretty busy. We ordered our class rings, which we were very proud of. In November we presented a play, Headin ' for the Hills, under the direction of Mr. Graebner. We worked very hard preparing the Junior-Senior Prom which we presented May 2, 1959, with the theme With A Song In My Heart. In September 1959, we entered the school once again, only this time as seniors. This was our best and busiest year. Once again Mr. Rohrs was our advisor. Those who didn ' t return were Charlene Brown, Harvey Head, and Leo Merriman. Those whom we lost during the year were: Joyce Etter, Melvin Myers, Joyce Weible, and Donna Shafer. We elected for our senior officers the following: President, Greg Hornish; Vice President, Jack Oliver; Secretary, Marilyn Grove; Treasurer, Sharon Schwaderer; News Reporter, Stanley Adams; and Student Council Representative, Glen Deatrick. We ordered our announcements and name cards, and in October we went to Fostoria to have our senior pictures taken. We chose our class colors which are royal blue and white; and our class flower, the carnation. Our class motto is Climb High, Climb Far, Your Aim, the Sky, Your Goal, the Star. In April we presented our play, Sunkissed, under the direction of Mrs. David Logan. We greatly appreciated the beautiful prom which the juniors presented to us on May 7, 1960, entitled, An Evening in Paris. On May 15, we left for our trip to Washington, D. C. accompanied by Mr. Mrs. Rohrs. Our Baccalaureate was held May 22, 1960, and Commencement May 27, 1960. As we leave these doors, we shall never forget these wonderful years we spent at O.H.S. 20
