Senior Class History IN the fall of 1922, seventy-one bright eyed, eager students entered the Freshman class of Oakwood Township High School. The Freshman class comprised one-half of the entire student body. Needless to say we were extremely proud of ourselves, although very bashful. After we had registered and were somewhat acquainted with High School life, we finally mustered up courage enough to hold a class meeting. We elected the usual class officers and chose as our class flower, “Tea Rose,” class colors “Old rose and silver,” and for our motto, “With the ropes of the past we shall ring the bells of the future.” After this we were not quite so backward and considered ourselves an important factor in the student body. The next fall when we entered as Sophomores our number was decreased to fifty-three, but still we claimed the honor of being the largest class in the school. This year we became prominent in athletics. We had ten men on the football squad, with five of them receiving letters and one being chosen captain-elect for the following year. We had seven members playing basketball. We also furnished several for the cast of the operetta, “Windmills of Holland.” In the fall of 1924 we again entered O. T. H. S., but this time with the desirable title of upper classmen. we were now in our Junior year. Of course the big event of this year was the Junior-Senior banquet. We again furnished quite a number of men for athletics. Our first play, “Engaged by Wednesday,” was well presented under the supervision of Miss Dorothy Munns. At last we attained the last step in our school career—that of a Senior. This being our last year we all determined to show our ability as scholars. Although our number has dwindled to thirty we will be the largest class to have graduated from 0. T. H. S. and of this we are justly proud. Much of our time this year has been devoted to the Annual and the Senior play, “Tempest and Sunshine.” We are now looking forward to the Commencement exercises which will be the most important event of our high school career and we shall always associate many happy memories with our days spent at our Alma Mater.
