Senior Class History In September 1959, there entered into the sacred halls of O.M.C.S. a group of approximately 100 bewildered freshmen who were destined, by their good fortune, to become the great and glorious class of '63. Through the four years they have attended high school they have finally scaled the scholastic ladder to become Seniors. By looking back through their scrapbooks they see some very interesting items about their exalted class. As lowly Freshmen they suffered through initiation in early fall and sponsored a dance, FALLEN LEAVES HOP, in November 1959 to earn money for their Senior Trip. As wiser Sophomores they had for their main class activities the sales of Christmas cards and wrapping paper and a dance, CUPID'S CAPERS, in February 1961. During their Junior year they became a group of sophisticates who led an active year by selling numerous fruitcakes, much candy, and many football programs and pompons. They held three dances; COLUMBUS ROCK, REINDEER ROCK, and a SADIE HAWKINS DANCE. On November 16, 1961, the thespians of the Junior class premiered their highly successful play, THE MAGIC TOUCH. In the merry month of May in 1962, they held the highlight of the social season, the Junior Prom, appropriately SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS LEFT TO RICHT: Anne Beattie, Secretary; Laura Hall, Treasurer; Sharon Smith, Vice President; Carol Dean, President. named MOONLIGHT SERENADE. As Seniors they raised money by selling magazines, stationery, school pictures, and candy. Their dances for the year began with the kick-off dance just before the first football game of the season. During the evening of October 12, 1962, the Seniors enjoyed themselves by initiating the Freshmen at a highly popular dance. In December they sponsored a dance to greet the New Year, called the KEY TO '63. MELODY D'AMOUR was the romantic title of the dance the Seniors held in March 1963. The Senior play entitled ABSOLUTELY MURDER, was the final money-making project of the Class. During the four days beginning April 16, the great and glorious Senior Class finally embarked on their journey to Washington. Of this trip pleasant memories are held by all. On June 24, 1963, the members of their great class will accept their diplomas after four years of hard work in high school.
