We, the Acorn Staff of 1966, would like to dedicate the Acorn to two men who have served our school for many years. Hershel McPherson, better known as Trinnie, and Layton Ligget have served our school for thirty and thirty-one years respectively. Layton graduated from O.T.H.S. in 1927. He was very active during his four years. He was secretary of his Sophomore class, treasurer of his Junior class and president of his Senior class. Throughout his four years, he participated in the Boys Athletic Ass’n., Ag. Club, football, basketball, Boys Glee Club, and Rooters Club. He was captain of his Senior basketball team. Moving from past to present we find that Layton is still active at O.T.H.S., as well as in his community. He has driven our buses for thirty-one years without an accident. He has also been a member of the Muncie Baptist Church and was Sunday School Superintendent for thirty years. Our day would not be complete without Layton. His high school friends felt the same way toward him as indicated in the following poem: Layton is nimble, Layton is quick, The kind of friend, that will always stick. Hershel McPherson attended O.T.H.S. until 1921. He played basketball and football, winning the O.T.H.S. Emblem for football in 1920-1921. There was a short sentence written to sum up his football ability. It is as follows: “Trinnie played end, was reliable on receiving line passes, and was fast, cool, and heady. When Trinnie was in high school, he was noted as a wit and as best dressed. He was envied because he drove a Model-T with white wheels. At that time there were very few cars, so having one was quite a privilege. He was born on a farm south of Oakwood; he attended Oakwood Grade School and the Oakwood Christian Church. Trinnie is part of history here at O.T.H.S. He was the first driver at the school to operate a bus with an all steel body. He has driven seven different buses during his career; each bus was traded in after approximately 100.000 miles. This means that Trinnie has driven over 700.000 miles safely. This year Trinnie retired to spend his time with his favorite sport, fishing. He was honored at a special assembly his last day at school. The faculty presented him with a new rod and reel and he received a gift of money with a card signed by all the students. We, the annual staff, appreciate their friendly and wonderful interest in our school and community. We wish them both happiness and health always, and Trinnie ... “Happy Fishing. Trinnie keeps the fire burning to warm the hearts of the O.T.H.S. students. ICATE THOSE SERVE nany a mile. Why? To bring students to O.T.H.S, Mr. Koontz presents a going-away gift from faculty and students to Trinnie.
