We Just Keep Growing Better!

Page 10 text:

We have done much growing (and changing) in our sixty-three years. Girls’ basketball fans should find it interesting to see how the team appeared in our first year, 1917. Who could fail to recognize the distinctive (and in 1939 more elaborate) white marker in the area to the west of the school? What happened to the O.T.H.S. orchestra (pictured in 1923) and Miss Victory and Her Court (seen in 1962)? The cycle of growth and change cannot be stopped. Often the process is for the better, but in a few cases an interesting activity or tradition is halted, and this becomes everyone's loss. Each year, those activities and organizations which still flourish, along with the people who make them work, are captured on the pages of an annual. When the book arrives, we may see smiles on the faces of those who are recalling the events of the past year. It is the hope of the people who have been res| onsible for producing this annual that, as we enter a new decade, our look backward through the years of our history may bring special memories to all.
