Text from Pages 1 - 128 of the 1956 volume:

INTRODUCTION To each of you these past four years mean something different. To some, they have meant hours of study while to others, they were a continual round of sports, clubs, and other activities. But whatever your high school memories, we hope that you have captured the spirit of Oil City Senior High. Upon the pages of this, the '56 Oil Can, we hove tried to record for you some reminders of your high school days. If we hove succeeded, even only a little, our efforts will have been worthwhile.

That final ploy of the final home game with Corry will long be remembered by sports-minded Oilers. Both teams scored touchdowns with seconds remaining in the game, but the added points were not enough for an Oiler victory. Corry claimed the game bv one point. The action-packed games with Grove City and Millcreek will not soon be forgotten.

The highlight of the season was our victory over Franklin. Many fans left the Lincoln auditorium minus the.r voices after that close score of 81-79. Bad luck seemed to be with the team as game after game many of our best players wore out because of injuries or measles, but the contests were no less exc.t.ng, Howard Rose, Frank Harrmgfon, Bill Evans, Bob Quattro and Gary Steer ended their high school basketball career at our lost game at Warren. 9 GRADUATING LETTERMEN Kotie Koontz F°i,h Wogd0, 100 CHEERLEADERS With much pep and vim the cheerleaders led fans at all football and basketball games. Highlighting the season were the shaker and flashlight drills performed by the spirited girls. Seniors on the squad this year were Marilyn Johnson, Sally McVeagh, Delores Peters, Ann Maher, Sally Wattsjer, Katie Koontz, and Faith Magdovitz. Underclassmen were Jayne Payne, Barbara Weber, Debbie Morrison, Carol Manross, and Carole Rossman. 101 Led by their capable coach, Mr. Blair Hildebrand, and assisted by managers, Jim Ray and Bob Henderson, the '55-'56 wrestling team of Oil City High brought the season to a close with a record of four wins and seven losses. In addition to their regular schedule of eleven matches, the team participated in the district contest at Grove City. Three Senior matmen, Jim Boland, Dick Petulla, and Larry Henderson, claimed membership to this year's team. Although small in number, they contributed much to the success of the season. The remaining vacancies on the team were filled by thirteen underclassmen. 102 WRESTLING Larry Henderson HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF 1956 We'll be seeing you in all the old familiar places, —and soon these places will become lingering memories of our happy yester-years. As Freshmen, our class was divided into two parts, one reigning at South while the others were mere underclassmen of Senior High. Although we were then separated, our social gatherings and activities brought us together and gave us high hope for the future. So with glowing faces and eager hearts, we, as the Class of 1956, crossed the threshold of our high school career. During the year as Sophomores our athletes achieved initial recognition as the members of the Junior Varsity teams. We were also represented for the first time in the annual. Then as we moved one step higher on the ladder of learning, we as Juniors selected class officers, who led us through the difficult problems of earning money. They were Clark Me Fa 11, President; Nancy Nalepa, Vice-President; Carol Taylor, Secretary; and Bob Hartz, Treasurer. The magazine campaign wos one source of revenue for our many activities to come. Bill Evans, Sally Wattsjer, and Ron Mohnkern were the managers who supervised the sale. 105 Then came the climax of the year—the Junior Prom. Beverly Hinman, chairman, and her committee selected Pink Zebra as the theme and used a huge orchid as the center of attraction. The K. of C. Hall was decorated with the theme cleverly carried out and Buddy Lee's orchestra provided the musical bockround. After a short vacation of three months, we entered the fomiliar halls as the Ruling Seniors. Our officers for this year were John Wilkinson, President; Jeanne Heosley, Vice-President; Judy Whaley, Secretary; and Ron Mohnkenn, Treasurer. With Faith Magdovitz and Howard Rose as managers, our Christmas Cord sale proved to be a success. The production of the Oil Can proved to be our most difficult task. Beverly Snyder and her staffs changed the style of the yearbook. Time Out for Ginger, our class play, was a refreshing comedy that none of us will forget. Before our history would be complete, the fine job of our athletes should be given credit. Each game provided many thrills to the loyal fans. The last three months seemed to vonish. Before we knew it, the most important days of our Senior year were here. The Banquet and Baccalaureate. Then came the night of realization—Commencement. As we marched down the seemingly endless aisle, united for the last time as a class, each held in his heart a 106 beloved memory of his alma mater. He realized that to it belongs some of the happiest days of his life as well as his eternal loyalty. We'll be seeing you in all the old familiar places, Whefe we used to see your faces All day through In the center hall, the class across the way. The seats we knew so well, the football games, Our favorite yell. We'll remember you whenever school bells start to ring. And think of all the little things That made our school days so complete, and When our lives begin to fade We'll turn our thoughts once more. To our days at O.C.H.S. and we'll remember you.
