A junior's Memories of O. H. S. Realizing that you will soon be a senior, can you remember, off hand, the high lights of your first three years at 0.1-I.S.? Of course you can't,-not all of them. Oh, you probably remem- ber your first bewildered way as a freshie',, your first A, and that tirst dateg but do you recall the really important incidents of three years of fun and work? Probably, you have forgotten most of the big eventsg so l will recount memorable incidents for you, hoping that twenty years from now when you take an old, but well-cared-for Periscope from your bookshelf, you will be able to smile and say, VV hy, I remember thatg that was the day when- and so on as you recall pleasant memories. Our freshman year was one we never want to forget. Do you remember the lirst day of school when we rushed around, with no more sense of direction than a bunch of lirecrackers, vainly trying to get somewhere before the be-lls stopped ringing? Then followed the initiation full of embarrassment and chagrin at the hurdles those awful sophomores made us take. Do you recall the fun we had working on our lirst Book VVeek project? All year there was the thrill of meeting new friends, of having dif- ferent teachers who treated us as grown-ups , of attending a weekly assembly with the entire school, of reading a school news- paper, and the even bigger thrill, after waiting ten long months, of receiving our iirst year book. Our sophomore year lacked the excitement of the tirst year and was a little disappointing. Our members were diminishing rap- idlyg the teachers lost their head-waiter-likes' smiles and began to make us really workg we no longer ran around the halls but slowed down to a gentle trotg and our musings became, VV hat is so rare' as an A in June? VV e had come to know our teachers as text books wired for sound and the upper-classmen as the reigning autocrats of all activities. Xvith looks of anxiety, we said, 'Wait until we're juniorslu The junior year at last! In the fall we came back to our two- story Cathedral of Learning where we have developed in ten months into veterans whether it be at schoolwork, athletics, par- ties, or hookey. How could we ever forget the election of class officers, the beating Oakmont gave Verona in both football and basketball, the organizing of our iirst school band, the fun of entertaining the Vtfestern Pennsylvania Music Association, the planning of a penny-a-pound dance, the thrill of receiving class rings and the gala climax of the junior prom? To top it off is the expectation of being a senior and thinking how swell'l it will be to graduate from a grand school like ours. In short how can we ever forget C.H.S.?
