History In the fall of 49 out big climb began. We were at last what they call lowly eighth graders , really green around the edges. Bur as time went on, between the teachers patience and the upper classmen's toler- ence, we became accustomed to the change and began to blossom. Then in the fall of 1950, as Freshmen, we were really a part of the high school. Now we could look down on those lowly eighth graders , but since we were working for those all important credits, it was necessary to cut out some of the play and get down to hard work. This, however, didn't prevent us from taking part in extra curricula activities such as, athletics and clubs. Time passed quickly and so ended our first year in high school. As Sophomores we began to get the swing of things. Our class officers were elected, and they started making plans for the coming year. Our first party was at Christmas. Boy, was it a honey!-music, dancing, and food galore. Exams came. With much cramming and anxiety most of us came through okay. We all enjoyed the party given us by the Seniors as a reward for being the first class to get annual subscriptions from everyone. To top off a wonderful year of hard studies, plenty of extra activities, and oodles of parties, we had the only Sophomore banquet ever to be held at Oceana High. ln September, 1952 we were finally on speaking terms with those dignified Seniors. This year our girls' basketball team again gained the title of the County Champions , and some of our classmates were members of the team. juniors! Almost there now. Responsibility came our way as we realized we had to sponsor the Junior- Senior Banquet. The big problem was raising the money so we sold peanuts, popcorn, and candy at football games, but knowing we still had to raise additional funds, our attics were cleaned and several rummage sales were sponsored. The gala event was planned for May Sth at the Nansemond Hotel with the Hawaiian Islands as our theme. A finishing touch was added to the event by the arrival of our Senior rings that morning, and it made us feel so much more important. Everyone enjoyed a beautiful, balmy evening of dining and dancing. Final exams were over, and most of us pulled through. Gee, that year was so full of studies and activi- ties, it just flew by. Well it was September, l955 and we were back as dignified Seniors. Everyone was in high spirits, hoping that this was his last year. Football season was right around the corner with our annual Ocean Bowl game scheduled as a climax. Most of us took an active part in the festivities. We had already started to work on the last Cavalier yearbook, but we were a long way from finished. More ads had to be gotten, and the work of compiling the annual was still ahead of us. Time flew and before we knew it Christmas with its parties had come only too soon to be part of our memories. When the time came for us to order our invitations we realized that graduation was close at hand. Then came our Senior play, XWe Shook the Family Tree . Those rehearsals-what fun they were! It wasn't long before our caps and gowns came and we then knew that graduation was no longer a dream. Graduation night came and went, and although that was the last year of Old O. H. S. its memories will live forever.
