Text from Pages 1 - 104 of the 1972 volume:

RPFIDf 1972 O ' Citian Published and Edited by the O ' Citian Staff of Ohio City- Liberty School Ohio City, Ohio Volume XLII As the doors open on a new day, so begins a new year and the importance of the experience accompanying that year. When the Freshmen begin a completely new and exciting high school career, the Sophomores feel oriented and prepared to cope with the world. The Juniors begin their vigil of preparing for a great send-off for the Seniors. And, the Seniors assume the responsibility of their ap- proaching graduation and of life itself. Day after day we pass through the halls of Ohio City- Liberty in many moods. School life is more than just studying. No one can forget their initiation into the Fresh- man class, being able to join the organization of their choice, the many concerts, the first sight of Prom splendor or winning a basketball game. We, the Annual Staff, hope this book recalls to you the best of OCL as days go by. Dedication To us who know them best, Mr. and Mrs. Calvin Fox are two of the greatest people who will ever be part of Ohio City-Liberty School. They are always ready to help anyone when they can, and they are always willing to take part in anything which is for the betterment of the students. Because of this, and their tireless efforts, their loyalty to the school, their devotion to their duties and to the student body, their hard work and encouragement, the O ' Citian Staff is proud and extremely happy to dedicate this 1972 yearbook to Mr. and Mrs. Calvin Fox. v:; V ' y ■td ' ::::Uii . s.- m.) r i .: Administration Administration Superintendent: DAVID RHOADES Secretary: BETTY FOX School Board Left to Right: Deloyd Ricl ard, Gus Scheidt, Don Hurless, Harvey McMillen, Ed Keber.

VAN WERT, OHIO 95 Farewell Four years is a long time- too long to forget. We look around and ask- where did it go? We worked, we played- but for four years? Then we look the other way- into tomorrow. Suddenly we ' re not so tall as we thought we were and not so smart. But we find that somehow we learn ed a decisive lesson at old OCL: something we wouldn ' t have had without the teachers ' guidance in brightening our path to the future- a direction into that uncertain tomorrow. 96
