1l-l JUNIOR ECHO Anna Moque H F RESI-IMAN CLASS HISTORY H UR FRESHMAN CLASS, consisting of thirty-three members, is the largest class in the high school. The social activities have been in our class, rather uneventful as we did not organize until late in the year. ln our first meeting we elected our class officers. James Whilbourne was chosen president: Ralph Casey, vice-president: Edith Monroe, secretary and treasurerg while Mr. Campbell was chosen our class advisor. ln our next meeting we chose old rose and sand for our class colors, and selected the motto: May Knowledge lncrease. ln the earlier part of the school term a few of the members of the class attended the Shakesperian play, As You Like lt, which they enjoyed very much and entertained the rest of us with accounts of its presentation. The honor seat in our class has been held by the same student throughout the year, while in other cases there has been considerable changing. The boys in the Freshman class have tried their best to get near the back part of the room, and so far they have succeeded better than those of any of the other classes, there being but a few girls with higher averages. We hope all may return next year in order to make the Sophomore class larger than it has been for the last two years.

------- JUNIOR scno Marjorie Hallauer M SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY W HEN we organized in the fall of l92Z, as Freshmen, our class consisted of thirty-nine members. We elected Carolyn Fuller, presidentg Frank Hill, vice-presidentg james Whitbourne, secretary: Dorothea McCarty, treas- urer, and Miss Kennedy as our class aclvisor. Blue and gold were chosen as our colors and Through Trials to Triumph, for our class motto, as it will serve us not only throughout our high school couse but also throughout our whole life. During the year we had several parties and class functions, which kept up a fine class spirit. We assembled this year as Sophomores with only fifteen members, this being less than half of our original number. When we organized May 2, l924, Marjorie Hallauer was elected Presi- dent: Elizabeth VVaterman, vice-president: Dorothea McCarty, secretary and treasurer. We found we had the same colors as the present juniors, so we chose emerald and gold. Miss Hedden was unanimously elected class advisor. This year instead of spending our time 'in fooling and gayety, we turned studious and worked hard. By doing this, we have lost much of the so-called green color. Although we were not organized until May, we had previous to this time two class functions, one being a party at the home of Marjorie Hallauer, the other, a debate. This was held during our English period, the topic being Shakespeares plays should be studied in school. The affirmative side won. This contest brought out the fact that our class contains good material for such work. f L THE SOPHOMORES 1 x- , .41 President ............ ........

1-- -ii JUNIOR ECHO . -l-1--1 Mary LeFrois l H SENIOR CLASS POEM For us, the class of 'twenty-four, Gay high school days are at an end. On high school grounds, we'll play no more, Nor happy hours with classmates spend. Each one is starting on new roads, New roads of life which all must try. For all, there are some special codes, ln work alone, all secrets lie. As we go on from year to year, We'll turn again with grateful eyes To O. H. S., to us so dear, And think of teachers, good and wise. They bore with cheer,.our jokes and pranks Our Latin faults and flunks in math: To them, we'll 'turn with many thanks, They helped us start on life's broad. path. Our ensign is the gold and white, Our motto is Be Square. We'll work for right with all our might, With all, we will play fair. We see a bright light gleam beyond As we start out from O. H. S. lt seems to lead us, draw us on To the great harbor of success. And when we reach the goal at last, We'll think of high school days again. We'll meet to talk of good times past And tell each other where we've been. But now the time is drawing near When we must say adieu- Adieu to school and classmates dear, Adieu to all of you. i...l. -1 Norman- What kind of a hat do you think would suit my head?
