At the beginning of this school year, a group of 33 frightened yet excited individuals, who jumped every time someone mentioned the word initiation, marched into the study hall. They were those who are known as Freshmen. Time has passed since then but they are still Freshmen. Under the capable leadership and supervision of the Freshmen class sponsors, Miss Brookhart and Mr. Bolyard, the class elected Jack Price to serve as president, Jerry Jones as vice president, Jean Curphey as secretary, and James Lewis as treasurer. We entered the whirl of social events, too. We especially enjoyed the Freshmen-Sophomore reception and also the many parties that followed. The Freshmen were well represented in musical activities with eighteen in girls chorus, eight in mxed chorus, and six in boys chorus. Also seven members of the class played in the band. In addition to this, a large percent of the boys were engaged in sports during the year with Jerry Jones, Jack Price, Clyde Parker, Ronnie Schnurr, James Lewis, Mervin Hanner, Edward Bottorff, and Irvin Jean par .icipating in football. The boys taking part in basketball were Jerry Jones, Jack Price, Clyde Parker, Ronnie Schnurr, James Lewis, Irvin Jean, Norman East. Mervin Hanner, William Cox, and Edward Bottorff. All of the girls were enrolled in G. A. A. and participated in its activities. Fifteen of the girls were members of F. H. A. During the year the Freshmen received a few distinguished student honors, and as a class, received the highest grade average for the first six weeks. When the Carnival came around, it found the Freshmen doing their part in sponsoring four concessions, Penny Pitch, Every-Spin-A-Winner, Weight Guessing, and Bowling. The Freshmen Candidates for the throne of O. T. H. S. were Queen, Marjorie Scott, and King, Jack Price. 22
