Junior (£Iubb President—Jennie Gleason. Vice President—Nina Osier. Secretary and Treasurer—Herman Sonn. “Turn backward, turn backward 0 time in thy flight Hake us all Freshies again Just for tonight.” In the Fall of 1909 when the doors of the O. H. S. opened twenty-two of those who entered were enrolled in the Freshman class. Time has wrought many changes in this wonderful class of ours and while only ten of us remain, there are many noted characters—the rest having scattered to their own duties in life. We have three great orators: Nina Osier, Herman Sonn, and Milton Ehrhardt. We also have some wonderful athletes and you know the world over loves them. Jennie Gleason, captain and center of the Girls’ Basket Ball team. Harold Burns, manager of the Boys’ team, Herman Sonn and William Smith. Many a time they have helped us to win victories. Then there is Leone Lurvey whose keenness of appreciation, strength of purpose and great love for music has made us wonder what we would do if it were not for her singing in the Glee Club. Alta Bennett, demure and quiet, says little but thinks to advantage and withal is delightfully practical in helping to remind us of our purpose in school life. Then there is George Meyers, our optimist, who with his jovial disposition, happy smile and unselfishness is always ready to lend a helping hand whenever it is possible. Lastly, Carl Parduhn, who is modest and retiring to a fault and never wastes time explaining, but simply goes ahead and does his work in his own deliberate way. We would like to tell you more, where and what the absent ones are doing but fear we will have to wait until another time. Are you not with us in thinking this a most brilliant class?
