For some, a greater milestone will be graduation from col- legeg for others owning a farmg and for a few others it will be engineering, nursing and school-teaching. It takes all sorts of people to make a World. You have many varied ambitions and hopes. I hope one day you will all realize your ambitions. Classmates, do your work and do it Well. If you do the best you can, no man can rightfully condemn you. Make a place in life for yourself, and then fill it well. I wish to thank you as a class for the splendid cooperation shown me while I was your president. You have supplied me and the rest of your classmates with many happy memories that we will someday look back on. I wish you all the success possible in your future lives. As you go forward, make your place in life and then fill it Well. RALPH S. MAST President of the Class of '54 First mu'-H. Bieber, G. Sittler, C. Mathias, Roger Angstadt, G.

Near the door we notice George and Titus waiting impatiently for their companions. Making our way to the balcony, we spy June, Curtis, Gloria, and Jack noisily munch- ing on popcorn. This noise irritates Thomas, Mary, and Sylvia, who are looking over their programs. As the lights dim and the curtain rises, we hear Eugene, Janet M., John, Bar- bara S., and Terry telling jokes and laughing noisily. Although the play is interesting, Helen, Joyce, Jean, and Mary Kate have other things to discuss. They are trying to decide what to do after the show. As we enter the lobby during intermission, we see Jacob, Ernest, and Harold Z. talking Thirty fke yuniom- about the leading lady. We make our way through the crowd and join in their conversa- tion. When the lights dim, we are all settled comfortably in our seats. As the curtain rises, we hear Marjorie, Barbara R., Kathleen, Anna Mae, and Nancy laughing and talking as they stroll down the aisle to their seats. During the final scene we hear a noise in the right corner. Warren, Harold R., and Herbert are contentedly snoring. The cur- tain falls and thundering applause awakens our sleeping beauties. Leaving the building, Merrill and Joseph are enthusiastically discussing the produc- tion. Roy and Kathryn join them and agree that the play was very entertaining. We will remember the play and the people in the audience for a long time to come. XA FN f QQ?

Health, Literature, Spelling, Grades 4, 5, and 6 30 Me CEM of 1954: Not at the top, but climbing is a fitting motto. You have been making steady pro- gress for the past twelve years. You have now attained one goal-graduation from high school. Success is yours by reason of your efforts and ideals. Congratulations to each and every member of the class. May success and happiness be yours always. The underlying thought in your motto is progress-growth. Inner growth in a human being is a matter of striving. By our own will we must push up through the hard crust of accustomed ideas and reach out into the light of greater wisdom. The power lies in us. It is a miraculous power. It is tortured mankind's greatest hope. To develop the soul: that is success. To build up a personality of value, one that is brave, pure, true, beautiful, strong and God- like: that is success. To choose the highest for one's aim and to remain true throughout life: that is success. The rank and file of us may never do anything that the world takes notice of, but we make ourselves of value if we live sincerely, think and speak truly, do our bit bravely and well, and lay the empha- sis of our living upon the values that have that permanence for which God stands. FREDERICK H. STAUFFER Oley, Pa. Muhlenberg College, Ph. B. Columbia University, M. A. General Business Practices Supervising Principal Great things are not done in a day. The many little things added together make the great one. The earth is composed of atoms, the century of moments, and our lives of little acts. Only the present is ours, and wasted opportunities are never presented to us again. Life is made up of success and failure. We all expect success. History has proven certain fundamental principles are the only safe way for one who wishes to travel through life securely, and with deep satisfac- tion to himself and service to others. Most of us were taught these truths by our par- ents, our church and our teachers. The moment we deviate from these truths we are getting off the highway. Check your actions with the master map. Only by perseverance are we able to overcome the opposition. The sweetest fiowers are guarded by the sharpest thorns, so our greatest achievements may be surrounded by the most trying difficulties. There is work to be done as there always will be - climbing , never stop trying. CC Heaven is not reached at a single bound, But we build the ladder by which we rise From the lowly earth to the vaulted skies, And mount to its summit round by round. Seven ..

As you realize, you are Not at the top, but Six climbing . May I Wish for each one of you that you may continue to work and learn so that you may eventually find yourselves in a better position to better serve the community to which you will find yourselves a responsi- ble attachment.

GRIM President, The Board of Education fxfX K N N CL 7+ C 'x TKWUWE J N Q ,, f XM 1 ff 5, M1 x PRODUCE QS Four Qbeckcafion We, the class of 1954, dedicate our yearbook to the members of the armed forces, those men and Women who have served this nation in peace and war. These people have responded whenever they were called upon to defend the rights and ideals of democracy. Their gallant and brave deeds have preserved the rights of the freedoms which we enjoy. Many of these men have given the supreme sacrifice, their lives, at Valley Forge, the Marne, Gettysburg, Iwo Jima, and the battle of the Bulge, where they died in order to preserve the rights of this democratic nation. We are indebted to them for our freedom, welfare, and even our lives. No one will ever be able to realize to the full extent the importance of their accomplishments in our nation's history and future. Today thousands of men and women stand ready to defend this country against powers of antidemocratic nations. We salute them, the truly great of the past, present, and future. To the armed forces We proudly dedicate our class efforts which comprise the Olean of '54, ELEM! fke .gzenefi 6U'l 0I'l Sage ' '- PRODUCERS AND DIRECTORS STARS .... CO-STARS .. O. H. S.

May your spirits never die, Nor your walls decay. We will sing our praises, Through endless days. We make for thee a crown, Rest on thy brow Pride, honor, glory, love, Before thee bow. Swelling to Heaven's high Our praises ring. Pray that Oley High School Survives all things. 5 25 38 40 58 Three 13 We, the class of '54, have used the theatre as a pattern for the Olean. We have trans- formed teachers and members of the school board into producers and directors, seniors into stars, and underclassmen into co-stars. We have divided the publication into three acts, replete with snapshots depicting the various activities of the students during the school term. Our motto, Not at the top, but climbing, well applies to the life of anyone who is con- nected with the theatre. He starts at the bottom as a prop-man or minor actor and finally, after expending much time and effort, achieves success. Like him, we too must never cease striving, but continue to do our best. Two review We, the class of '54, not at the top, but climbing, will try to repay society for the valuable assistance it has rendered through the school in giving us a proper start upon the stage of life. We realize that the responsi- bility for success in this gigantic theatre of life now lies entirely with ourselves. Conse- quently, we are cognizant of the fact that this success cannot be attained by interrupting our climb to the top of the ladder. We have enjoyed preparing this publica- tion, we hope that you, the reader, will be- come familiar with the life of a student of Oley High School. We believe that it will be the means of perpetuating many pleasant memories in the hearts of the members of our class. Wk-MV GW CLEAN of 54 X!
