THE “ACORN” Class History four long years we have struggled to attain the heights which we have at last reached. As we leave 0. T. H. S. where we have spent these four happy, profitable years, it is only fitting that we leave behind us, a history of our numerous accomplishments and achievements. On September 4, 1921, fifty-two eager wide-eyed Freshmen entered the portals of O. T. H. S., the beginning of a long struggle to obtain the fundamentals of an education. We chose for our class motto, “Work and Win”; class colors, Pink and Green, and class flower, Pink Rose. These we have retained through these long and tempestuous years. As Sophomores our number had decreased until only forty-six remained. This year we had the pleasure of initiating the Freshmen, causing them to suffer some of the ignominy which is the lot of every Freshman. We began to take an active interest in various activities furnishing four boys for the football team, and two for the basketball, besides a number in the Glee Clubs. Our Junior year was marked with a strong desire to forge ahead and attain new standards. The two most important events of the year, were of course, the play, “Welcome Home Jimmy,” and the annual Junior-Senior Banquet. This year we furnished men for the athletics of the school. In the class basketball tournament, the Juniors came out on top, thus winning the tournament. With the passing of years, we have at last attained that long cherished goal, to which we set ourselves as Freshmen-Seniors. From a class of fifty-two happy carefree Freshmen, there remains only twenty-two staid dignified Seniors, with grave problems pressing on our minds. We have encountered and conquered the many difficulties which have presented themselves before us. This year we met and elected the following officers: Again we furnished men for all athletics and again the Seniors won the annual class basketball tournament. We are now working on the Senior play, “The Arrival of Kitty,” to be given soon. Whether we have all attained our ambitions and realized our ideals only each can say for himself. But when the time comes for us to be measured by our standards, as men and women, I am sure that the Senior class will not be found wanting. President...... Vice-President.
