OFFICERS of THE CLASS of 1929 ROBERT WILLIAMS (Bob) BENJAMIN McFATE (Ben) President of Senior Class; President of Hi-Y; Junior Play Committee; Junior Play; Senior Play; Business Manager of Oil Can; All Committees. Bob. we think, is the best President that ever left O.C.H.S. He went into his office, heart and soul and so he came out. 11 seems as though Bob was always doing something for ’29 betterment, and perhaps this accounts for his always being in a hustle. Likeable, dependable. capable and a dandy good fellow, and we might add that he believes in helping out our underclass mates. We wonder why? MERCEDES HUFF (Tommy) Vice-President, 3-4; Junior Prom Committee; Literary Editor of Oil Can; Chairman Color Committee Senior Play; President of French Club 4. When it comes to “gentlemen prefer blondes perhaps you'll think this the reason for this popular young lady's holding her office for both Junior and Senior years. Maybe so. but who could have done it in a better way? Tommy has been a shining light in most every activity and proved herself capable of taking the lead. Then too. again we find the Juniors breaking into the ranks of out officers. Editor-in-Chief of Oil Can; Class Treasurer 4; Football 4; Senior Play; Junior Play Committee; Oil Can Committee; Senior Basketball; Junior Basketball; Chairman Junior Prom Committee; Auditing Committee 3-4. If you want anything done, have Ben do it and you can be certain that it will be thoroughly and well done. He can fix your automobile, do your dishes, wire your house, do your lessons and even edit the Oil Can. ‘Member the Prom? Ben was the leader, and he s the boy who handles the coin. And then, he s a leader at the other dances.—“I say. thar. —ask Betty. t t HELEN JENKINS (Jiggs) Class Secretary 3-4; Oil Can Historian; Senior Play. Helen is another of our most popular girls who has had the honor of holding her office for two years. We would like to say that Helen is the nicest girl we have but there are some other girls and another fellow whom we are afraid (?) of. Helen is going to be someone's secretary and we don’t think anyone could handle the position better. Helen must be congratulated for the way she has handled her position. We think she can handle Ed. just as well. Time will tell.
