Onarga Township High School - Onarquois Yearbook (Onarga, IL)

Foreword In this, the 1947 Onarquois, we have endeavored to produce a volume that will serve as a remembrance of our friends, activities, and experiences here at O. T. H. S. We have tried to bring to light each individual activity or class, so as to recall to us not only the study and work, but also the fun and achievements. We have omitted the use of a theme in our yearbook, because we believe we cannot place the numerous activities and classes under one design and get a unified picture. We can much better picture each one in its own light with its own characteristics, as each takes its place in the different phases of school life. If we have successfully done these things, then our goal has been reached. Contents Foreword 2 Dedication 3 Board and Faculty 5 Classes 11 Sports 25 Activities 33 2
