At the first meeting officers were elected, Boyd Harris being chosen Presdientg Roy Ficklin, Vice-Presidentg and Russ Hockersmith, Secretary-Treasurer. President Harris headed a committee, including Wendell Orr and Dick Dannehl, whose purpose was to draw up a constitution for the club. Fourteen ath- letes were found to be qualified according to the new Constitution. They were Boyd Harris, Roy Ficklin, Wendell Orr, Kenneth Legan, Chancey Mo- Fadden, Charles Krause, Russell Hockersmith, Dick Dannehl, Dale Brant- ley, Don Archer, Chuck Bottorff, Irvin Jeans, and Jimmy Lewis. The purpose of this club is to promote athletics at O.T.H.S., to regu' late to some extent, wearing of awards, and to provide social functions for those eligible. Among activities which this newly founded organization has already sponsored, was a class basketball tournament, held in March. An initiation of new members is to be held in the spring of each year, with all the old members out for the blood of the poor innocents. Attractive pins have been ordered for each member with the sym- bols OVK tOnarga Varsity Klubl emblazoned in maroon enamel on a silver background. When you see a lad wearing a Varsity Klub pin, then you know that he has done his bit toward keeping Onarga on top, for all members must be declared eligible by a committee. Coach Tomlinson's Varsity Klub has filled a need felt by many boys around school for a letterman's organization of some sort, and he and his boys are to be congratulated on what they have accomplished thus far, with greater things expected in the not-too-far future.

ATHLETICS CHEER LEADERS Shirley Link Mary Cox Vivian Lee The year was marked by achievements in all of the various sports, which are too numerous to mention here. For a starter it could be said that the football team won the Vermilion Valley Conference title and went undefeateclg our basketball team, after a mediocre season, upset Gibson City, the favorite, in the Regional Tournament, and went on to give Say- brook a real battle. In baseball we won our first game in three years, and in track we got third in the county meet with only a skeleton of a team. As a final Word we would like to thank the fans for all the support they gave our teams and also thank the board and faculty for their help. 25
