We kept this aim in mind throughout the year. Early in September, the following officers were elected: President............................................Mildred Terry Vice-President..................................Wilma Clem Secretary..............................Clyde E. Shepherd Jr. Treasurer..............................................Velva Gillen Adviser.........................................Mr. Newtson 'The I'reshmen had a dreadful fear of the Sophomores, before we gave the initiation party for them. After this, they completely changed their minds. In return, they gave a delightful party for us. We were well represented in the school Operetta, not only in the dances and chorus, but also in the main cast, Robert McAlister portraying the typical Scot. Our contribution to the Stunt Show was a mock wedding. Rape Thirteen

JUNIOR CLASS The members of the Junior Class elected the following officers: President....................................Norman Ratliff Vice-President.......................................Howard Saunders Secretary.....................................Olive Belden Treasurer....................................Walter Barnes Adviser................................................Miss Rutherford On November 18 and 19, the Junior Class presented the play, “Beads on a String.” The story concerned a family who, upon receiving a letter from a rich uncle, stating that if he liked the daughter he would leave her a million, persuaded their only child, a boy, to masquerade as a girl during the uncle’s stay. The son refused, but, to please his mother, consented to try on some of her clothes. While thus attired the uncle arrives, and thereby hangs a tale of love, adventure, and intrigue. On May 12. the Junior Class entertained the Seniors with a banquet held at the Grier-Lincoln Hotel. The banquet room was decorated with lilacs, yellow candles, and a small fishpond on each table. The idea of spring was cleverly worked out for the entire evening. The Seniors will always remember this party as one of the high spots of their four years at O. T. H. S. A very entertaining playlet was given by the Junior Class in the Stunt Show. The Junior Class was well represented in the Operetta, some of the members being characters in the main cast. Pune Twelve
