K. lohnston, the Dr. Gilmore of l9lO, addressed the students of O. H. S. Through his influence, a fourth year was added to the high school course. School picnics and class parties meant a lot to us, so we really had some humdingers. We weren't the dear old red and black in those days, every class had its own colors. Here clad interrupted his reminiscence of O. H. S. to remind me that a knowledge of the history of the school does little to improve my plane geometry. How right ho was!
