Then, lor one long year, we were Seniors, But now, how short it seems To us, who have lrolicked and toiled Together-'neath Alma Mater's bright beams. Ah yes, those days passed quickly, And parting came all too soon, lor- About us, mingle the sadness and ioy Oi youth's memory-laden perfume! Au revoir, dear Alma Mater, Ideals, and precepts dear, Our hearts are heavy to leave you- For we part with many a tear. Anna Puccio, '4I WW 'l' F it7Ft? ti?Ff'f7'm' '? ?'9?'9 C?

Kenneth Pedrone Not a national election year was '38, but the class ot l94l lthen lowly sophomoresl elected their officers. And time leaders they were, too: James Ludwig, president: Clyde Hallenbeck, vice-president: Carm Drago, secretary: Bud Bridger, treasurer: and an able cabinet of Ruth Jones, Dave Fitzelle, Jake Green, D. J. Goldsmith, Rib Thomas, Herb Getman, Nancy Lane, and Peggy Wilder. Most ol the class ioinecl clubs-many destined to become the clubs' otticers. Came l939, and the O. H. S. new deal. ln the positions which guided our class destiny were George Fitzelle, president: Peggy Wilder, vice-president: Nan Lane, secretary: Don Gibbs, treasurer: and -the cabinet, Florence Krohn, Hank Warnken, Ronald Atkinson, Nancy Mac Ewan, Natalie Farone, Bob Clapp and Ruth Jones. Two oi the high lights ol our iunior year were the Kellogg Prize Speaking Contest and the initiation ol Junior Class members into the National Honor Society, which shall never be sullied by anyone from the class ot '4l. The winners in the con- test were: D. J. Goldsmith and Peggy Wilder, John Thomas and Ralph Gennarino. Our class members chosen lor the National Honor Society were: Peggy Wilder, Carm Drago, Dave Fitzelle, George Fitzelle, Doris Mellott and Ruth Jones. ln I'-740, when we started our last year at our Alma Mater, the third term was not an issue, and many class otticers and cabinet members were retained tor taithlul service. David Fitzelle was President: Nat Farone, Vice-president, Peggy Wilder, Secretary1 and Kenneth Pedrone, Treasurer. The members on the Cabinet were George Fitzelle, Lois Oliver, Thelma Bryant, Ralph Gennarino, John Van Steenberg, Betty Loushay. ln this last year-Seniors at last-we were rushed, rushed, rushed. A report tor English, a club meeting Tuesday, Latin, Chemistry, studyl?l, study, study. And yet many ol us found time to put on Senior dances lwhich left the class budget delicit looking not unlike the national debtl, attend the musical pilgrimage as in less hectic yoars, and generally have a good time. Our matinee idolsl?l, John Thomas and Ralph lGenerall Gennarino, managed to give us tine perlormances in this senior year as they had done before. Dan Clements and D. J. Goldsmith, our character actor and actress, were once again behind the iootlights. Who will forget Betty Lancels nose lor news, who will ever lorget-or tall lor- Hank Warnken's line? Who can forget Mrs. Stewart, Mrs. Super or Mr. Lawler- all stern, but all favorite teachers? We left O. H. S. with no regrets-or perhaps with one, that there were no more years to spend there. 37575 'i W ' ii, 11,3 a,'w,y5v.s-f..3,- up Senior Diary Dear Diary: Sept Sept Sept Sept Sept. Oct. Oct. Oct. Oct.
