llllllllll-Elllllli lllllilll 111 ljllllll A GAY NINETIES PARTY Saturday, May 12, 1951, six-thirty o'clock Doesn't the theme, A Gay Nineties Party, suggest a gay party atmosphere? The Junior Class thought so after they had looked through and considered several different themes. For the first time, the idea of having a Prom to follow the Banquet was introduced. The committees hired a band, not only to play dance music for the Prom, but also to play dinner music for the Banquet. The Gay Ninety theme was carried out in the decorations and table appointments. A real old-fashioned fireplace was set up at the east end of the gym, with some old pictures hung on either side of it, An improvised stage occupied the west end of the room, the cen- terpiece was a spring with some love seats around it, a large chandelier with a spotlight in it hung down over the centerpiece, coal-oil lamps lighted the tables, place cards, pro- gram-memory booklets, and nut cups were all in Gay Ninety designs, favors were candle holders and pastel colored candles, and the seniors' colors-blue and white-were used wherever color could be used. The gym was reduced to room-size by means of a lattice-work ceiling made with blue and white paper, and the sides were hung with pastel streamers which blocked off the Stagg on the south and the bleachers on the nort .

llllllli ElllSE Take a good look, yep, that's us, the Class of '52, Just one more year and you'll be seeing us graduate. You have seen most of us in some school activity or other for we have ample representation in all of them. Almost half of us are in band, and even more than that proportion participate in our vocal music program. Quite a number of our class take part in the athletic program of O. H. S. We also are represented in the declam contests with entrants in radio speaking, interpretative reading, one-act play, humorous declamation, and debate. We had a lot of fun rehearsing and putting on our class ploy, The Tangled Yarn, and were pleased with the way in which it was received. During the first semester our class offi- cers were Janet Ogden, president, Marlene Winter, vice president, and John Witt, secretary-treasurer. The second semester, we were led by Gerald Huldeen, president, Wally Duffy, vice president, Bill Teaquist, secretary, and Georgia Hix, treasurer. You want to watch us next year. We're going to go places. We'll be preparing next year's annual. Don't forget to subscribe! Elllllllllllllif lllSE Our class numbers thirty-five this year. We have been very active in all extra-curricu- lar activities, including athletics and music, both vocal and instrumental. Our class fur- nished some excellent players in football and basketball, and has good material for track. Vern Ogden was our president for the first semester, Lowell Brower, vice president, and Danny Hansen, secretary and treasurer. The second semester our officers were DeLoris Cowlham, president, Lois Landgraf, vice president, Dale Linman, secretary, and Aud- rey Buehler, treasurer. We held one class party-a skating party at Ida Grove, at which the juniors were our guests. From all reports, it was a very successful affair. We have had a most satisfactory year, and are looking for- ward to our junior year with its added accomplishments. flifSHlllll EllEE With Miss Florence Holland as sponsor, the class of '54 began its high school career. Elected by their classmates, the following have been the officers: FIRST SEMESTER SECOND SEMESTER Jean Stock President Kay Summerville Roger Barkley Vice President Richard Treman Dale Richardson Secretary Keith McDonough Keith McDonough Treasurer LaVon Finger Janice Turin Reporter Nancy Scott and Jean Stock We have been well represented in Junior high and High School athletic events and have done our part in music, both vocal and instru- mental, and in several divisions of declama- tory work. ' PAGE TWENTY-SIX We firmly believe that all work and no play makes our school days uninteresting, and so to enliven things a little we have had two class parties. The first semester we had a party in the gym, with a scavenger hunt the main entertainment of the evening. The sec- ond semester we had a skating party at the roller rink in lda Grove. We are all looking forward to next fall when we shall move out of our present quart- ers into the high school building. Then we shall really feel that we are part of Odebolt High. Move over, upper clossmen, and make way for the Seniors of '54.
