Is it prosperity, equality, a better world, or complete disintegration? I believe the future holds many, many opportunities for us to correct our failures. A more closely-knit home, a better community, a well-founded state, and a better America should be the motto of every well-established cltlzen. Wisdom from experience, progressive leadership, cooperation from all, our cultural endeavors, and our physical well-being will build a road of success before everyone. We, the graduating class, will do our part and encourage others to do their part in building a better future. The theme of our year- book shows our devotion to that cause. Clearly stated it is: the utopian world of 2055. Marjorie Mast HC Two Dedication We, the class of 1955, sincerely dedicate this issue of the Olean to the head of our English Department, Mrs. Thelma Erb. She has shown great patience, generosity, thoughtfulness, inspiration, and loyalty toward us and students before us. She has also shown wise guidance and has unfailingly performed her duties as a teacher and 'goleanl' advisor. OLEY HIGH SCHOOL I gh , , I , Q li J El 553 5? ll .gi 1 IQ - ' if' li K5 E ' ll 1.

TO THE CLASS OF 1955: The members of the School Board extend to each one of the 1955 graduating class the heartiest congratulations. Graduation is the moment to reflect on your past. This, your uOlean'7, is an excellent instru- ment to help you look back and remember your high school days. Four Graduation is also the time to plan your future. We trust that your education has helped you to make a wise decision for your future. Our best wishes go with each of you as you go forward in life. If you set a high goal, work hard, live honestly and religiously, success will be yours. HAROLD J. HERBEIN President of School Boarri Supervising Principal To the Class of 1955: The eyes of the world are focused upon you, applause is everywhereg and the festivity of the occasion centers on you. This is a momentous oc- casion in your lives. lt is the crowning episode which comes to you at graduation time. Congratu- lations to every member of the Class of 1955. May you always be successful and may happiness always crown your efforts. Your motto, Build for Character, not for F amef' is truly fitting for the occasion. Leaders in all walks of life have become greatly concerned about the idealogies and 'fismsn that are becoming a threat to our way of life. Your ideal is forward looking-utopian-yet attainable within the capac- ity of the individual member of your class. lt is indicative of knowledge, ability, and the zest for living a useful life. It can truly be said that we stand at the dawn of a new day, with a new world opening up new avenues and vistas to our endeavors. You are richer today than you were yesterday, if you have Built for Character. The Roman philosopher, Seneca, once said, 'gThe greatest man is he who chooses the right with the most invincible resolutiong who resists the sorest temptation from within and with- out, who bears the heaviest burden cheerfully, who is calmest in storms and most fearless under mena- ces and frowns, whose reliance on truth, on virtue and on God is most unfalteringf, The road ahead of us is not an easy one. It challenges our courage, our vision and our ingenuity. Our national life is based on the ideal of liberty and justice for all. We need to dedicate and consecrate ourselves anew FREDERICK H. STAUFFER OLEY, PA. Muhlenberg College, Ph. B. Columbia University, M. A. General Business Practices Supervising Principal to this priceless heritage. We are eagerly looking toward an era of world peace. To accomplish this we need to cultivate friendship. True friendship is like charity in that it suffereth long and is kind. lt is abiding. The solution for survival in our atomic age is crystal clear-men must put into daily practice the highest moral teachings and ethical concepts of friendship based on the Master's teach- ings. These teachings must be put to work in the home, the community, the nation-even the whole world. Finally, my young friends, your teachers and I are confident of your ultimate decisions. You have the ability, the ambition and the energy to '4Build for Characterf' Thoreau once stated, lf one ad- vances confidently in the direction of his dreams and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet a success unexpected in common hoursf' We expect to pass through this world but once. Any good we can do, therefore, or any kindnesses that we can show to our fellowmen, let us do it now, let us not defer or neglect it, for we shall not pass this way again. Perhaps Bailey in a little poem best illustrates my thought to you. We live in deeds, not years, In thoughts, not breaths, In feelings, not in figures on the dial. We should count time By heart-throbs when they beat For Cod, for man, for duty. He most lives, W ho thinks most, Feels noblest, acts the best. Five IRENE C. BIEBER OLEY, PA.

To My Classmates: You will have achieved an early and an important part of your life when grad- uation day appears. Then you will have finished your necessary education to continue on in your later life. Some of you will go further with your educational purposes, while others will be busy pursuing a certain career. There is no difference which course you chose in school, but it is vital to make sure you exert every effort to be a worth- while worker and citizen throughout your life. I admired your co-operation as a class when I was president. Without your most needed help this class would not have been the success it was. I want to con- gratulate you on your splendid co-operation. Again I want to thank you and wish you the best of everything that may befall you in your later years. Remember to be faithful to the Lord and your careerg then you will truly prosper. JACOB L. Raman, Class President Eleven THOMAS W. ANDREWS R.

As we enter the parking grounds, we see Gerald and Leroy park- ing the cars. We meet Hazel and Nancy selling tickets and programs. The ushers, Grace M. and Geneva, are taking people to their seats. Announcer Charles Minnich is telling who drives the racers. The drivers are Graul, Stapleton, Renninger, J. Hoffman, and Albright. Under these cars we find James, Ronald and Kenneth, the mechanics, getting the cars ready for the race. The judges for the big event are Frederick, Elmer, Jane and Jean. They seem to be looking over the entries. The starters, Richard, Stroud and Paul S. are trying to locate their flags. An ambulance is parked beside the track, with Clarence, the driver, waiting to take Thirty offv at the sound of a crack-up. The nurses, Mar- lene and Shirley E., are also standing by. As the race begins, we hear Jacquline and June screaming at every hint of a mishap. Barbara, Shirley W., and Judy are munching hot dogs at full speed. Finally as the racers are in the last lap, we see Erma, Grace Y. and Lorraine sitting in a corner sipping sodas to calm their shaken nerves. Betty Ann, Mary, Vivian and Jeanette leave the race with frowns on their faces because the racer they wanted to win left them disappointed. On the way home we see Carl, Benjamin, Herbert and Leonard going into the Speedway Diner to discuss the race with the waitress, Ruth Ann. Q 1. Herbert Hoffman 2. Jean Breidegam 3. Hazel Stoltzfus 4.

It has been a pleasure and a privilege knowing and working with you. We will truly miss all of you. We wish you the best of success in all your undertakings. Never forget your motto Build for Char- acter, not for Fame . If you keep foremost in your mind at all times your high ideals, you are sure to succeed. You have done many wonderful things for our school. I hope our class can fill your places as capably as you have done. You have set a high standard of leadership and co-operation for us to meet. But with the standards that you have left for us to follow, we will surely do our very best.

Freshmen and sophomores may choose between academic and vocational, while juniors and seniors may choose among academic, vocational, and commercial. The academic course is taken by those who want to fur- ther their education by going to college or into nurses training. Vo- cational students are prepared to carry on domestic work and farm- ing. Students taking the commer- cial course may choose to be sec- retaries or certified public account- ants. By glancing at each course, we notice many interesting sub- jects which are taught. These subjects are included in nine major departments. Looking into the social science department, we can visualize Carl Strittmatter standing before a problem of American democracy, world history, or United States history class, pointer in hand, ex- plaining our government to the seniors, telling the juniors about medieval times, or discussing the American Revolution with his sop- homore classes. Civics is taught to the freshmen by Charles Kram- er. Many a student can be seen scurrying about the school on a Monday morning looking for a newspaper. Current events is the reason for this, as most social science classes discuss each week modern-day history in the making. Climpsing at the English de- partment, we see Mrs. Thelma Erb teaching tenth, eleventh, an d twelfth grade classes correct punc- tuation and sentence formation. Instructing the freshmen in Eng- lish is Forrest Fleishood. Several classes can be found reading the classics, also. Besides teaching the students the fundamentals of Eng- lish, this department assists the pupils in extra-curricular activities his Above All which require the use of correct English. At head of the mathematics de- partment we find Fred Brightbill. If he is teaching equations to some freshmen, the class is that of alge- bra I. Plane geometry is taught to sophomore students, algebra II is taught to the juniorsg and one semester of trigonometry and one of solid geometry must be learned by academic seniors. During the year geometric designs and solids are displayed by these students. General business is taught to voca- tional seniors by Frederick Stauf- fer. As we glance into our labora- tory, we see Llewellyn Hefiley set- ting up apparatus for one of his science classes. He might be rig- ging a scale on a ring stand for his senior physics class, preparing some compounds for a junior chemistry class, or even making some slides for his sophomore bio- logy classes. Perhaps he is con- necting some dry cell batteries for an experiment in a freshmen gen- eral science class. Students in these classes get a chance to experi- ment. Starting its fifth year in our high school is the commercial de- partment. Mrs. Dolores Leven- good is the instructor for all commercial subjects. We may find the juniors who are starting their first year in this course waiting to begin a five-minute writing in typing I, practicing some short- hand notes in shorthand I, or learning the fundamentals of book- keeping. The senior students can be found taking typing II, short- hand II, and office practice. Be- sides attending classes, commercial students are given a chance to gain experience by working in the office or typing material for an assigned teacher. Switching to the vocational agri- culture and vocational home eco- nomics department, we come to the course which is taken by stu- dents who plan to be future farm- ers or future homemakers. Heading the boys' vocational agriculture is Carl Blank. Mr. Blank also in- structs a class of freshmen boys in shop work. Vocational home economics is taught by Mrs. Pau- line Lendacki. All freshman girls are required to take home eco- nomics regardless of course. The language department of our school consists of Latin and Ger- man. Instructing academic stu- dents in both of these tongues is Mrs. Roberta Haberem. First year Latin pupils can be found reciting uamo, amas, amat,,' while second year students cope with transla- tions. Die Studenten des Deut- chesv learn the grammar rules and translation of the German tongue. Turning from the cultural to the physical aspects of our school, we find the physical education de- partment headed by Miss Betty Webber and Alfred Knabb. Dur- ing a typical gym class Miss Web- ber can be seen explaining to her girls the correct formation for a hockey team or demonstrating some new rules in basketball. Mr. Knabb can be found sending a boys' gym class over the cross country course or supervising a softball game. Health is also taught to tenth graders by these two teachers. The courses in fine arts, music and art are taught to all students. James Wells is the music teacher, instructing music classes, instru- mental music, and directing the band, orchestra, and chorus. Miss Alice Tewksbury, the art instruc- tor, has charge of all art classes and helps students with any extra art work they may have. Thirty-seven Activities Round the Clock Thirty-nin 2.

Band and Orchestra The band, directed by Mr. Wells, ap- peared in the Halloween parade and the New Yearis parade, in which the entire band marched through Oley, Pleasantville, and Pricetown playing appropriate num- bers. The band parades annually on Mem- orial Day and plays at the Oley Valley Community Fair. The orchestra played at the senior class play and commencement, as Well as for all assemblies. The orchestra consisted of approximately thirty-five members, several of whom played in the County and District orchestras. Senior members of both musical organi- zations received a gold, silver or bronze pin at the end of the year, the kind depend- ing upon the number of years of service. Kun 1: J. We-iehn-r. Nl.
