Class History We started at the foot of the mountain, seventy-nine of us. We were of little importance, although we distressed the faculty and furnished the usual fun, sport, and amusement for the upper classmen. We had just become acquainted with the routine of O. T. H. S. when the Sophomores decided we needed to be initiated. We freshmen enjoyed ourselves in spite of gunny sacks and buckets which we had to carry. We freshmen returned the Sophomores’ troubles by being host to them at a Valentine Party where everyone enjoyed themselves by square dancing. By the next school year we had reached a small plateau where we rested for awhile. Many of our boys took part in Athletics and helped Oakwood to win the Freshmen-Sophomore Basketball Tournament. During the next school year forward, we sponsored the Leap Year Dance and on May 9, we sponsored the Junior-Senior Prom. All of a sudden as we rounded a curve we reached a point where the scenery was the most beautiful and the atmosphere the most delightful of any part of our journey. Our boys took active part in sports all four years. Many of our classmates took part in the music contests and in the speech contests. Many of them also made the music from our band seem better. We presented “Our Miss Brooks” as the spring play. Now at last after four years of studying and enjoying ourselves we have reached Inspiration Point. During the year we lost one of our Senior boys, Melvin Miller. We were sorry to see him go. We were happy to have an old classmate, Connie Thomason, to return to O. T. H. S. from Bismarck High School at the beginning of the second semester. We were also happy to have Sue Woodworth Duncan join our Senior Class during the second semester.
