Pago Eight Junior Class Class officers: president, James McLarrin; vice-president, Ray- mond Bates; secretary-treasurer, Lena Mae Mattoon. In 1933, 28 small and frighten- ed individuals entered O.H.S. as Freshmen. During their first year they were initiated and gave a suc- cessful return party. As Sophomores they lost their frightened looks and became a lit- tle more self-reliant. The title of Upper Classmen” completely erased the look of awe from their faces even though their original class of 28 had dwindled to 17. Many of the juniors earned letters in basketball, baseball and football. A three-act play “Who Wouldn’t Be Crazy!”, the Jr.-Sr. banquet and prom, and a school party were the activities sponsored by the class during the school year. Sophomore Class Class officers: president, Paul Cummings; vice-president. Iola Dunning; secretary-treasurer; Harold Mattoon. The present Sophomoreclass be- gan their high school career at O. H. S. by electing their Fresh- men officers. The basketball games with the grade school and the Freshmen return party were the main activities. Sophomore activities were in- itiation of the freshmen and the participation in football and bas- ketball. Sophomore lettermen and let- terwomen are Paul Cummings, Leona Blakely. Iola Dunning, and Mildred Jones. Freshman Class Class officers: president. Made- line Richter; vice-president. Nao- mi Allen: sacy arv-treasurer.

Page Seven five minutes. It was certainly thrilling! Of course it reminded Georgia and me of the senior play, “Take My Advice.” Stopping at St. Louis, we saw the “St. Louis Cardinals” play a home game and imagine our surprise when Gladys recognized her cousin, Jake h isher, as pitcher! We visited the Ford Factory in Detroit and there we met James Dompier, who had given up his ambition to be a forester and is now working for Ford, who had given him a job, after he won the prize for having the oldest Ford in use. It was the same old “Model-T” he used to drive to school in 1936. Later in New York, I saw four more classmates of ours,—Margaret Fox and Harvine Pope, who appear on the stage as “The Greatest Tap-dancing Team in History—Merial and Elena.” We believe they got their idea from Mr. Sprague, who used to practice tap dancing on the front steps of the High School at Oakridge; Ruth Shepherd, who married a broker who had previous- ly been her employer, and Melvin Spalinger, a saxophonist, who is visiting in New York before continuing his trip around the world with the famous “Lucky Strike Orchestra.” I must confess I can’t quite imagine Bub’s hav- ing the least inclination for music, but who am I to judge! The only sad part of our journey was the finding of Bea Steeprow as a former d'amond smuggler ofT the coast of Florida. She has retired and now owns a small jewelry shop in Miami. We are coming back by motor and expect to see you very soon. Jean Napper.
