Class Htslovij of C lass of 1 0 On September 1928 a small expedition headed by Miss Minnie Wheling and consisting of Mary Ellen Kildare, Rose Ann Kosmicki, Eleanor Roc, Geraldine Peterson, Mary Lou Vandiver, Marjorie Gates, Bernice Stark, Ed Hopken, Harold Jensen, George Thorpe, Bill Shafer, Michael Kuril ., and Loraine Altig began a journey into the vast unexplored land of Education. At the end of the first year Miss Wheling turned over her duties to Miss Ruth Ewers. Frieda Hoffman and Thcron Thadcn joined here. The next two years lead by Miss Almeda Gould and Mrs. Ruth Warren passed by rather rapidly, adding to our party Bonita Eastburn, George Beckius and Ross Fender, and losing Michael Kuntz, Bill Shafer, and our new member, George Beckius. In 1932 Miss Bess Glebe accepted the position of leader; Maurine Mitchell, Raymond Ditlmnr and Michael Kuntz, a former member of the expedition, joined us. At this time we became aware of the fact that one nr ore year would complete our explorations in the land of Grade School, so with this expectation in mind we welcomed Mrs. Maude Dewey as leader. Also our old friend, George Beckius and a newcomer, Virginia Turley, who left the same year. Marjorie Gates also resigned at the end of the year. We then advanced to Junior High. This new country was filled with strange and exciting adventures. Dur- ing the seventh year we had two leaders, Miss Helen Gorder and Miss Eleanor Piesingcr. Marilyn Gile was our only newcomer this year. The next year we had a number of leaders. This year we had Miss Ruth Fink, Miss W'ilda Dierks and Mr. Charles Compton. Three new members joined our party. These were Marcia Cahill, Virginia Turley, and Martin Keller. A great advancement was made the next year. The entire group was headed by Mr. Kenneth Worley. Margaret Holscher, Marjorie Gates, LaVonnc Brown, Norma Lee Combs, Norma Davison, Helen Friedman, Ellen Kenfield, Alice Sibal, Elaine Wicst, Catherine Wlaschin, Ed Holscher, Bill Shafer, Ed Schindler, Jack Economos, Kenneth Ervin, John Francil, Bob Walker, and Chauncey Walker entered the Freshman country on the continent of High School, which is divided into three other countries. The second of these countries is called Sophomore year. As the group had become larger, two leaders. Miss Carol Schmidt and Mr. Homer Rector were necessary. Betty Corder, Glen Ziegenhagen, Don Shively, und Lyle Rook joined our company that year. The exposition had now entered the eleventh year of exploration. Huzcl Jackson, Naomi Groves, Shirley Brown, Warren Brown, Kenneth Bishop and Albert Armstrong joined us. Miss Helen Marie Davis and Mr. William Hoppock became our leaders. The next year, and consequently the lust for many of us, was led by Miss Valentina Nielsen and Mr. Vernon Payne. It brought five new meml ers. These were Dolores Wiest, Elizabeth Betz, Joan Mahood, Margie Sollars, Wayne Antrim, and Milton Senzig. The year is now ending. Part of the unknown land of Education has been explored, but much is yet to be discovered. A new expedition will begin next year—one which will take us into life. May this one be more suc- cessful than the last. -O'- 'S eniol “LONDONDERRY AIR We say farewell to you our dear old OHS. Long have we played within your cheery walls. Dear OHS the years we love are those we spent with you. Those happy hours will often come in view. And as we stray to ports of life unchartercd. The lessons that we learned will guide us through. The fun we’ve had will lighten care and sorrow. We want to say that we love you, yes, we do. Dear OHS, oh were we back in Freshman days. To start again to play and study here. To go once more to football and to basketball games, To cheer and shout, with all our hearts and souls. But more than that, we want to be back here in school. Among our friends, so stalwart and so true. But now we leave, with saddened hearts remaining true. We want to say that we love you, yes, we do.
