H new 6n0de444 QA Class Historyb September 1950 - the saplings began to take root in the halls of Odessa Central as students from Montour and Odessa began their Freshman year of high school. They selected the following as their leaders: Florence Mosher, president: Betty Lou Smith, vice-president: William Lattin, secretary: Jerry Burris and Helen Woodford, treasurers. Mr. Klein and Mr, Todd were on hand to give them advice. As compensation for the duties given the Fresh- men on initiation day, the Seniors entertained these fledglings at a Freshmen lnitiation Dance. A Freshman Pow-Wow ushered in the first at- tempt at raising money for the future Senior trip. The students that year were saddened by the ac- cidental death of a classmate, Mary Swan. June saw these budding Freshmen join ranks with the Sophomores at a picnic at Eldridge Fark. Beginning to branch, this class of '54, now Sophomores, began their school year by selecting Darlene Williams as president: l-larry Meyer, vice- president: Betty Lou Smith, secretary and Helen Woodford, treasurer, This year, Mrs. Wilson and Miss Beck were their helpful prodders. Instead of holding a Sophomore Dance, they decided to try their luck at raising money with a skating party. This idea proved itself a worthy one by netting a large profit. Again there was a picnic at Eldridge Park, which ended the activities of this schoolsyear. Now they were Juniors, As new and better knowledge was grafted into the minds of this class, Edward Dunn was chosen as the head of the class. Larry Ward was now vice-president, Flor- ence Mosher was secretary and Barbara McCarty was chosen to handle the financial affairs. Miss Wade took over the difficult task of advising this class. Selling soft drinks at P.T.A., skating parties, holding two profitable bake sales, selling candy after the Senior trip were some of the activities of this enterprising class. The very entertaining You Can't Take It with You, directed by Mrs. Wilson was presented. Throughout this year the Juniors were eager to earn money for that Senior trip. Junior rings with the traditional Queen Catharine emblem linally arrived. With their eyes always glued to the financial end of affairs, the Juniors decided to have a St, Patrick's Day Dance instead of the traditional Junior Prom. To round out this activity-filled year, the Jun- iors entertained the Seniors on a picnic at Enfield Cilen. Seniors, finally! The Class of '54, now prac- tically full grown, elected Betty Lou Smith, Larry Ward, Nancy VanBuskirk and Barbara McCarty as president, vice-president, secretary and treas- urer, respectively, The difficult task of advising this class was given to Mr. Dolan this year. To augment their funds the Seniors sold stationery, Christmas cards, magazines and candy. The Sen- ior play under the capable direction of Mr, Dolan, proved to be a great success. Finally the long- awaited Senior trip became a reality - New York. Everyone had a wonderful time! May 6 - surprise! The Seniors honored Mr. Dolan with an unexpected birthday party. Scholarship winners were Jackie Plate, Betty Lou Smith, Virginia Rumsey, Dick Peterson and Oranell Brown. Graduation - a breathtaking and tearful mo- ment this now full grown, knowledge-filled class took its leave of the Odessa Central halls. So now it was proven that Large streams from little fountains flow, tall oaks from little acorns grow.
