□ THE ’45 O N A R Q U O I S □ JUNIOR JARGON □ □ Look up to us, all ye who would attain the position as seniors! Okay, so we’re still juniors this year. But we’ll be seniors, come September 1945. Wanta take a peek back over our shoulders with us? Here goes — we started our third year in O. T. H, S. under the able guidance of Mr. Wendell E. Seaney, sponsor, and Mrs. Carolyn Pease, assistant sponsor. To guide our “tender” feet (pretty well hardened after two years of high school) we elected four class officers — June Hahne, prexy, “Moe” Harris, vice-prexy, Bev Russell, secretary, and Leo Kanosky, treasurer. (“Leave it to Leo”, we say, speaking of our bank account). Top goal for the year was to earn ample funds with which to present the “Honor” members of our high school a banquet and prom — I believe they are known as seniors???? And we worked — but definitely — diligently — and unceasingly, selling pop, hot dogs, and popcorn during the basketball and football seasons. To boost our rising bank account we sold pencils stamped with the basketball schedule at 10c per. We’re proud of our junior play, “All Gummed Up”, directed by Miss White. The audience was the largest to gather in the O. T. H. S. gym for some years. 'Course we still don’t equal the “Barrymore family of the theatre”, but we uncovered some talent which will come in handy on our senior productions. If you happened into the O. T. H. S. stud hall around Santy Claus time you’d have seen our bee-oo-ti-ful Xmas tree. We juniors added this bit of cheer during the holiday season to lift the spirits of our fellow classmates. Sorry to say we lost one of our members, Norma Templeton, during the first semester, but La-Verne Reiter of Woodland joined us the second semester, and now there are seventeen again. With this relating of our memoirs, we bow out of our unforgettable junior year, with a, “Thanks a lot”, to Mr. Seaney and Mrs. Pease.
