Twice, since its completion in 1912, this building has sent its graduates into a war-torn world. Mary E. Householder mrrfatary to III. Glllllfilll Secretarial and Health Staffs Play Important Roles Although O.H.S. does not see much of MISS MARY E. HOUSEHOLDER, her influence has long been felt throughout the school system. From the top of the hilI, have come many acts of helpfulness and service both to the faculty and to the boys and girls .... MISS PRISCILLA IANE HAZLETT, our Senior Secre- tary director, smiles heartily for the Periscope.

. . . Preparing Boys and Girls for the Future Sure, Mr. EAGLESON peps them up. The many victories won by the basketball team are positive illustrations of his effect on the Red and Black. At the beginning of the second semester he left his civics and general science classes to teach physical education at Tenth Street: nevertheless, he continued in the capacity of basketball coach . . . Have you seen MR. TROTTER when he wasn't in some kind of action? When our little man isn't busy with the band, he's busy dreaming up topics for guid- ance programs . . . MISS MOOT'S chorus classes always prove interesting as well as a lot of fun. Never a dull moment in orchestra--not when those musicians blend in a familiar melody . . . MISS WI-IITE, our Art Club sponsor, not only enjoys art but tries to make the students art-conscious. Does that describe those Loeffler twins? I wonder! . . . It seems MRS. BAIERI., our Leaders' Club sponsor, takes to the water g that is, she prefers swimming to the rest of the sports. I-ler gym floor gets quite a workout with breath-taking volley ball and There'il Always B . . . of the time when there was two-way traffic on the stairs at either end of the hall . . . when out-of-town students had no recreation at noon in the gym . . . when Miss Moot picked up the wrapped garbage intending to drop it in the can on the way to school and instead absent-mindedly carried it to school with her-then some- one told! . . . when Mlle. told Tom Gregg lin Frenchl where to head in-l often wonder what some of those words really meant . . . the vigorous campaign put on by Sue Schmidt for Clair Morrison for president of Student Council . . . Chip Berg's respectful way of saying, - Yes, Miss Ekas . . , Miss Ekas' cheery Good morning and Mlle. McNall's friendly Bonjour . . . when Oakmont played no night football games . . , Mr. Glenn's book- keeping II classes . . . when there were no bond and stamp sales on Wednesdays . . . when the only kind of uniforms to be seen around O. I-l. S. were those of the basketball games. Keeping fit by calisthenics and square dancing are also on the year's schedule . . . MR. GRIMM tells how things are done. Here, he explains the rules and regulations to the freshman boys. Because of his superior coaching, Mr. Grimm is likewise responsible for a very successful football season . . . MISS IOANNA BEATTIE smiles approvingly as the girls display their knitting. Not only sewing, but cooking intrigues these Tenth Street trudgers upon whom Miss Beattie tries to impress the ever-growing importance of food . . . MR. MCWILLIAMS, MR. ANDERSON, and NAPPY take time out to chat a bit. Their cheery hello's and hi's which greet each student, ring from one end of the hall to the other . . . MRS. BOYI..E'S willing assistance makes book reports amazingly simple. Without her and her assistants' help, they would, indeed, be a real worry . . . Our future carpenters and handymen find a few periods weekly with MR. PORTER quite interesting. Their finished products are really beautiful as well as useful. e Memories . . . band members . . . the farewell tribute made by Bud Derr to Mrs. Foster . . . those Gertie and Mabel skits . . . those uproarious Student Council meetings on Thursdays at noon . . . when the paper fell on Miss Hazlett's head in the supply room . . . Bill Ecker's side remarks in English IV . . . letter writing, book reports, and themes in English III . . . Mr. Marshalls class in economic geography . . , walking across l-lulton Bridge on a cold wintry day . . . Allen Kennedy's and Adeline I.ustri's arguments in P. O. Di class . . . Sue Schmidt's Acorns f and Tom I-lelwig's editorials . . . Mary Louise Babich as Sally in the Senior Secretary play . . . those delightful odors that came floating up the stairs from the lab . . . these few things, and there are a million more that we'll never forget. BERTHA GENERALOVIC, '44 RICHARD' REED, '44 Girls of 1944 experience the thrill of trying out the Future carpenters are progressing under the capable new loom, guidance of Mr. Porter. Q.
