Seniors Blaze New Trails The forty-niners of 0. T. H. S. have reached their Eldorado —graduation. They have dug their way through deserts of doubt, mountains of cynicism, and have forded rivers of opposition to reach the gold fields of graduation which they hope will be the beginning of a richer life. Along the way they have not only performed the usual duties of sophomore return party, freshman initiation, and junior-senior prom, but they have accomplished many other feats which they hope will serve as guide posts for others who are followii g along their trail. All year one of their main purposes has been the plann’ng and financing of a spring trip. To further this cause, they sponsored a Halloween party, a Christmas party and a paper and scrap drive. They also sponsored one of the high spots of the year's entertainment program—basketball games between the grade school faculty and the high school faculty and the leans and the fats of the community. Topping off the year’s projects were the spring carnival and a rummage sale. A three-day tour of Chicago during the month of April was their reward for months of planning and hard work. We toast the “Forty-Niners” for the pioneering spirit they have shown and for their numerous accomplishments as individuals and as a class. We hope they never lose their zest for the adventure of blazing new trails. May they never forget th i truth and understanding, the richest treasures of all, are still to be discovered.
