Ja ylkmezubm Lives of great men all remind us We can make our lives sublime, And, departing, leave behind us Footprints on the sands of time. J. Charles Smith, D. 0. Coordinator QZM4 yea 95:61:42: FOR YOUR GUIDANCE The teaching profession is not a forty-hour a week job, but an unending opportunity to bring knowledge out of ignorance, strength out of weakness, and direct young, un- developed minds to maturity. The responsibility of build- ing solid citizens lies with the teachers. Willingly they accept this challenege. Unselfishly they devote the greater part of their lives to guiding the youth of today so that tomorrow will be better. Realizing this, we desire to express a small measure of our gratitude to the OHS faculty by dedicating the 1951 Torchlight to them.
