or f THESE WERE THE BEST YEARS OF OUR LIVES We began our high school careers in a most unspectacular manner. There we stood, 30 smiling but not happy freshmen. We were very unsophisticated, very unsure of ourselves, our teachers, and oh, so green. We managed to survive our initiation, and had elected as officers: President: Keith Wortman; Vice-President: David Clouse; Secretary: Karen Brubaker, and Barbara Ains- worth, Treasurer. Mr. Jack Weaver was our sponsor. This year we had our Christmas party at the Jones boys home. To raise funds this year we hawked OCL beanies, had several bake sales, and if our memories serve us correctly, another paper drive. Our sophomore year began minus two of our former members, Roberta Smith having moved to Celina, Ohio, and Bill Boughn to California. Our officers were: President: Sue Ross; Vice-President: David Clouse; Secretary: Karen Brubaker; Treasurer: Eulalia Hoffman. Our sponsor was Mr. Richard Elmore, who is currently playing in the U. S. Army Band, Washington, D. C. At the beginning of our Junior year, we had lost two more members. Peggy Bruns moved to Paulding, and has subsequently married. Stanley Ayers saw fit to work for money rather than knowledge. Our officers were: President: Dick Jones, Vice- President: David Clouse; Secretary: Karen Brubaker; Treasurer: Eulalia Hoffman. To reap the long green this year we served a banquet for the county school boards, had a ham supper, several more bake sales, and perhaps a paper drive. We also learned to sweep down the incline after basketball concessions. Our Junior-Senior Prom was well- worth all the time we spent on it. Mr. Bryon Chapman was our junior sponsor. During this year we all enjoyed a class trip to Chicago. The beginning of our last year of high school found our ranks thinned by one, Shirley Rickard having dived into the sea of matrimony. Our officers were: President: Wally Rhodes; Vice-President: Dave Clouse; Secretary: Karen Brubaker; Treasurer: Eulalia Hoffman. Mr. David Leiendecker was our class sponsor. This year is and has been a very busy one. We have sold magazines, had con- cessions at ball games, bake sales, stuffed envelopes, skating party, sold yearbooks, but definitely no paper drive. At this writing we are looking forward to our Commencement, our Senior Trip, but most of all, to the life that lies ahead. —THE SENIOR CLASS. Page 17
