December 21. 1934. Several card tables were in constant use, and others had a good time dancing. The Seniors had a large Christmas tree and an exchange of gifts took place. Tt has been traditional at O. T. H. S. to have Senior Class rings, Jmt this year the Juniors initiated a new plan and bought their rings. This seemed advisable as it lessens the burden of expense in the Senior year and makes it possible for the student to wear the ring at school longer. The class was well represented in the class basketball tournament. Roth the girls’ and boys’ teams were defeated by only one point and received second place. The two lettermen, Smith and Miller, were chosen as coaches; Mason and Ardith Dobbles as captains. “Come to dine and dance in the land of windmills and tulips and be ‘in Dutch’ Saturday Evening, May 18. 1935. at 8 o’clock. Old Holland Inn. Danville, Illinois,” invited the faculty and Seniors to the big social event of the year. Junior-Senior dinner dance. Dutch waitresses, wooden shoe nut cups, windmill dance programs and tulip place cards surely made the guests feel “in Dutch.” Entertainment was provided by the Danville Chamber of Commerce and Ralph Hanley and his orchestra furnished music for the dancing.

Each student who takes English acts as a reporter. The English classes in rotation are given a specified week to furnish the material for the ptiper. An editor and a scrap-book editor are selected by each English class. The class editor hands the material for the paper, given him by the reporters, to the editor-in-chief, who corrects all errors. It is then given to the adviser, who approves of it and passes it on to Mr. Newtson. The advanced typists cut the stencils and run the copies off the mimeograph under his supervision. The class scrap-book-editor hands his material, collected from various other newspapers, to the scrapbook editor. The newspaper is given out at the Friday assemblies. A copy is sent to the Dale Publications at St. Joseph. The newspaper has been considered an accomplishment for this school. We hope it will continue to grow in size and quality. 0 0 0 D fl fl fl 4 l}ayc Thirty three 0 Tof Row—Thompson, Harden. Zigler. Uurke. Hume. Oakwood, duel el, E. Scott. Minacr, Graham.

Their duties include the checking in and out of books and daily reports to Mrs. Blackburn, the head Librarian, of overdue books. A small fine is imposed on students with books overdue. The Librarians also keep the room and books in order. As a reward for this work the Librarians are exempt from final English examinations. 'Phis new method has proved very successful and will probably become permanent. I 0 G C Fat e Forty seven Page Forty-eight 11 •! v v JC Athletics OG OT TT Of' COACH DINSMORE . . . ATHLETICS . . . Mr. Dinsmore, athletic instructor, returned to O. T. H. S. for his third year as coach. Last year he had an exceedingly successful year in athletics, which he wished to repeat the following year. Our football captain, Glenn Sperry, a member of the squad for four years, played some scrapping games. No matter how badly the boys were beaten, he never lost hope, but kept right on plowing hard and encouraging the team. He has done some marvelous punting and has shown some good headwork. Robert Fagaly and Earl Bantz were selected managers of the 1934 football team. They were boys who performed their duties capably and were a great aid to Mr. Dinsmore. The lettermen of 1934 elected Robert McAlister captain for the 1935 basketball season. This being his fourth year as a eager, he proved himself a very capable and dependable ball player. He was a fine leader and fought hard with his teammates to win without boasting and he lost without giving an alibi. Eugene Hart was chosen manager of the basketball squad. He was alert and always ready for any task. Halma Harden, Wanda Sadler and Glenn Duke were chosen cheer leaders. Their cheers and yells always puts lots of fighting spirit into the players.

GIRLS’ ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION Someone has said, “An educated person is one who is fit to live and fit to live with.” To meet these requirements successfully one must be mentally, morally and physically alert. By means of physical education and sports, schools are striving to round out the life of its girls in such a way that not only will they have a knowledge of facts as presented in the class-room, but also the ability to apply these in ordinary life. 'Phis ability comes in part with good physical condition, as developed by correct habits of living and proper exercise. A healthy body is one of the chief assets for an active mind, so the girl who is in good physical condition is increasing her ability to think quickly. With proper mental hygiene comes a tendency toward the development of high standards of conduct which lead to the formation of worthy traits of character. The purpose of the G. A. A. is to raise the standards of physical, mental, and moral efficiency of the girls, and to develop ideals of health, sportsmanship, and physical control. Our organization is a newly affiliated member of Illinois League of Girls’ A. A. Early in the fall the following officers were elected: President..............................Marian Freeland Vice President............................Mildred 'Perry Secretary-Treasurer.........................Reba Wright Points Chairman..........................Ardyth Gobbles Adviser.................................Miss Rutherford Page Fifty eight Ye are trying to live up to the purpose of the association and develop the character traits of honesty, fairness, truthfulness, sportsmanship, friendliness, and responsibility. Our chief activities have been hiking, baseball, and basketball. In October we went to St. Joseph to a Play Day and another in Danville in May. The girls learned new games and made many friends. No awards were made this year because one semester did not give time enough to earn the necessary points. On April 26th, the G. A. A. entertained the football, basketball, and track squads, the faculty and board members. The gym was transformed with wild plum and hawthorn blossoms, purple and white crepe paper, and school pennants. The tables were decorated with violets, white candles, .miniature basketball court, track field, and football field. Nut cups and place cards were decorated with athletes. Streamline trains appeared on the football invitations and in the program booklets, small suitcases, as this was an “athletic tour.’’ Engineer— Stop! Look!
