2 '- fi rn SOPHOMORE CLASS WRITE-UP EI Thirty--three students entered the portals of O. T. H. S. last fall, beginning their Sophomore year. With the exception of Robert Magnus- sen, they all remained here to become upper classmen. Joan Doyle, Har- old Lathrop, and Brad Perkinson joined us later in the year. The class was guided under the capable leadership of the class spon- sors, Mrs. Frobish and Miss Corkill. The following were elected to serve as officers - Tommy Brim, President, Terry Workman, Vice-President, Betty Seggebruch, Secretary, Jean Curphey, Treasurer. They chose Juanita Henegar and Tommy Brim to represent them in a newly organized group, the Student Council. Their extra-curricular activities were many and kept them all very busy. A large per cent of the boys were engaged in sports during the year and the class was very well represented in Band, F.H.A., G.A.A., Girls' Chorus, Boys' Chorus, Mixed Chorus, and Library Club. The big event of the year, the Carnival, found all the Sophomores as busy as bees. Our candidates for the throne of O. T. H. S. were Queen - Juanita Henegar, and King - Brad Perkinson. U El D FRESHMAN CLASS WRITE-UP E! Well, it seems every year there must be a class of freshmen and this year we were it. September 2, 1947, thirty-two awed and rather frightened individuals entered the great halls of O. T. H. S. We spent an excruciating four or five weeks before we were finally brought under the critical eye of the seniors. How was it? Well, you noticed there were thirty-two in our class September 2. We now number thirty! Draw your own conclusions!!!! Soon after that first day as students of O.T.H.S. we held a class meeting, and for officers elected Norman Bottorff, President, Delores Haerr, Vice-President, Janice Orr, Secretary, and Joyce Fink, Treasurer. We dove head first into social events and extra curricular activities. First came the Frosh-Soph reception. And did we have a wonderful time? We were marked as Greenies all evening, but we didn't mind. The games were fun - the food fine! Most of the members of our class at least tried out for chorus and several even ended up in festival and contest choruses. Besides that seven members of our class belonged to band. We were also well represented in sports. Most of the boys out for football got to play some. And we - just Freshmen - were permitted two representatives on the Student Council. Just the same as the Seniors! Then came the big event. The annual O. T. H. S. carnival, and were we enthusiastic! We held class meetings, painted posters and had a lovely time in general advertising our king and queen. Most of us discovered for the first time what those magic words a sign out mean. We owe a great deal to Miss Dallas and Mr. Jones, our sponsors, this year. They have been willing and anxious to help us in anything that came up. Thanks a lot! It's been a swell year! 23
