SENIOR CLASS HISTORY September, 1944 - Judgment day is here. Already we had acquired the reputation of be- ing one of the roughest freshman classes in the history of O. T. H. S. Most of our former class- mates were still with us with the exception of a few whose places were taken by students from the country. Thirty-three members com- prised our Freshman class. What a time we had the first few days - What's our next class? Where's room 15? Two minutes between classes! Why that ain't enough time to sharpen my pencil! But we finally got the routine down pat and from then on things went smoothly. Miss Doley and Mr. Walters acted as our class sponsors. For class officers We elect- ed Roy Ficklin, President, Charles Krause, Vice-President: Chancey McFadden, Secretary, Shirley DeFries, Treasurer. Our Sophomore year found us on the giving end of the Frosh-Soph Reception. Our sponsors for this year were Mrs. Cox and Mr. Aiken. The going got a little tough and it seemed that the teachers had only one motto - Ye shall not pass. Class officers were Wendell Orr, President: Beverly Colebank, Vice-President: Norma Jimison, Secretary, Margaret Kanosky, Treasurer. As Juniors we found one of our students leaving us. Dave Siebert left us to join the Navy. We were kept busy this year making money for the Junior-Senior Banquet and Prom. You see it's up to the Juniors to give the Seniors a big send off, and with the Milford Swingsters doing the sending it was quite an affair. Class officers were Kenneth Palmer, President, Boyd Harris, Vice-President, Mar- garet Tilstra, Secretary, Margaret Kanosky, Treasurer. Well, here it is our last year. We caught the freshmen off guard and really let 'em have it. That was the first big event and now that it was over most of us settled down to study in order to get out of those finals. We now see the value of Mr. Reed's and Mr. Seaney's math., pins, rings, cards, and announcements. More money! Will we ever get out of debt? With Miss Brookhart and Mr. Jenkins as our sponsors knowledge of parliamentary proced- ure came in mighty handy. Especially in elect- ing our class officers, namely: Donna Lindsay, Presidentg Robert Lee, Vice-President, Mar- garet Kanosky, Secretary, Helen Stewart, Treasurer. As the year wore on three things were upper most in our minds and after much debating we finally decided on them. Class colors: Green and White, Class Flower: Red Rose, Class Motto: Spectemur Agendo - LET US BE JUDGED BY OUR DEEDS. Out of the 30 that began in the first grade only 12 have gone all the way together. We don't know whether the Juniors hated to see us go or were glad to get rid of us, they really gave us something to remember when they held the annual Banquet and Prom in our honor. We found that the Milford Swingsters were back for the dance and most of us were glad of it. Only two more steps left before entering the big mixed-up world on our own- Baccalaureate and Commencement. Baccalaureate services were held May 23. The fine talks inspired us all and gave us heart to face the future. Nothing now but Com- mencement. The exercises were held Thurs- day night, May 27. This was it! After 12 long years. It was pretty hard putting on a front for our feelings. We were happy, smiling, yet down-deep inside we felt sick! We tried not to feel this way and more than once we hear, Come on, cheer up. Just think, no more his- tory reports, why you should be happy! Hap- py? We were saying goodbye to the best years of a person's life. Well, we received our di- plomas, friends and relatives shook hands, slap- ped us on the shoulder and said, So long, fella, take care of yourself. Well, it's over. We've added our names to the list of O. T. H. S. Alumni. We hate to say goodbye but we must. So thinking of the past and looking to the fu- ture, we say goodbye to the faculty fthe best in any schoolj, the students, the school, and oh yes, we mustn't forget Bill. In saying goodbye we also want to say, Al- ways remember us, cause we'll never forget you.
