The surroundings were very confusing at first, but after our invitation we became more settled. During our first year Bob, Bus, Trinney, and Carl played on the basketball team, while Lloyd, Frosty, and Goff, were on the football team. A meeting was held early in the year for purpose of electing officers. The election stood as follows: Robert Andrews, President; Simon Lark, Vice-President; Glen Francis, Treasurer; Francis Knight, Secretary. The next fall we returned to O. T. H. S. as Sophomores. Although our class decreased in membership from 23 to 18 we seemed to be more important than we were the year before. Of the boys in our class we furnished six for football and six for basketball, while three of the girls were in the Glee Club. Our officers for this year were: Marie Glover, President; Lucille Woodin, Vice-President; Martha Johnston, Secretary and Treasurer. Later in the year another meeting was held at which we selected the following: Motto, “Work Wins Everything;” colors, Old Rose and Gold; flower, Wild Rose. This year we had the satisfaction of initiating the Freshies. We entered 0. T. H. S. upon our Junior Year with rejoicing. This year we were to be upper classmen and were to have some authority. Our class had decreased to twelve members but we have every reason to be proud of it. Out of the seven boys in our class we furnished two for foot-ball and five for basketball. Our officers for the year were: Robert Andrews, President; Marie Glover, Vice-President; Martha Johnston, Treasurer, and Forest McGoven, Secretary. The most important event of the year was the Junior-Senior banquet held in May.
