Since the time when 4 we entered High School, as eager Freshmen, we have looked for- 3 3 ward to the time when we, as noble Seniors, would prove that we K, l had made worth-while use of our time. This is the reward of those four years of toil on the road to knowledge, which is the Hrst mile- stone on the broad Highway of Life. ls Teachers, without your friendly and untiring co-operation we ul would not have succeeded. We realize now how difficult it must have lf' been to be so loyal and do your duty uncomplainingly when stu- U, dents will be so inconsiderate and impossible, and we were certainly no exception to the ordinary type! What nobleness of spirit it re- quired for you to endeavor to give us the fundamentals of learning lu and strive with us that we might have the advantages of your ex- ul In perience and wisdom. Words are inadequate to express our heartfelt my thanks, but we hope our success in later years will help to prove that we have treasured your teachings and profited by your guid- ance. It is with sincere regret and sadness that we part with you lx tonight. g: lx Members of the Board of Education, you have made our last f f year in high school a highly profitable one in the environment of ' lg the new high school building. We appreciate the enthusiastic sup- gl I port proffered us in all our Senior activities. We have aspired to be ll worthy of the efforts put forth by our townspeople through you: Q, and worthy of the honor due the first class to graduate from new 1 Ontario High after having been in attendance here. .J F We love our dear Alma lVlater, and those still within its walls. ' Beyond its gleaming portals we see a city of marble-Gpportunity. We are about to enter its gates and climb the upward path toward 0 that lofty height-Success. Let us make our aim high: even though lt, we may not reach our goal, be it known there was a noble resolve. u Over the entrance to this noble institution of learning we see these ,g words inscribed: Enter to learng Co forth to serve. That is typi- Q l cal of our aim, we have studied diligently to better prepare our- l selves as the future citizens of our country. We now go forth to serve and carry the spirit and ideals of O. H. S. into our new qu pursuits. dl in Classmates, tonight we come to the parting of the ways: no nu longer will we be happy, carefree students of dear old O. H. S. To most of us, this, the completion of our high school course, is merely 'C l a stepping-stone, and leads on to higher fields of learning. As we go X, X out into the world to our various callings, may we ever remember K l the comradeship, good-will and loyal spirit of the class of '28. Let l us keep the motto, Rowing, Not Drifting, which has guided us lk, fContinued on Page 345 ul 4 'N P I6S5C.GGX.9C.lD6X.9QlDGX.Dlm2Q.1BlD6XJLZ9GXJllBGX.9lZD:-'i E2 5 J

We elected Marjorie Williams president, Margaret Waterman vice-president, Bernadette Rogers secretary, and Stephen Sheppard treasurer. -We chose Miss Hazel Miles as our class adviser, and se- lected, Rowing, Not Drifting, as our motto. Yellow and white were chosen our class colors. The class attended, at the Lyceum Theater, Rochester, the Shakesperian play, As You Like lt. Dur- ing our Freshman year two parties were held, one at Bernadette Rogers' and the other at Marjorie Williams'. ' The next September we met as Sophomores with only sixteen members. The same colors and motto were kept, but Miss Klett was chosen class adviser. As our president we elected Stephen Sheppard, as vice-president Bernadette Rogers, and as secretary and treasurer Marjorie Williams. 'I' When we melt in September, l926, there were only eight mem- bers. Officers were elected again. lsabelle Fewster was elected presi- dent, Francis Hargrave vice-president, and Marjorie Williams secre- tary and treasurer. The class colors were changed to emerald and gold, but the same motto was retained. Miss Edna Butterfield was chosen our class adviser. Early in the year the class purchased rings and pins, some members buying rings and others pins. Two parties were held during the year, one at lsabelle's home and the other at Argetha's. After the january Regents three members were annexed to the class and one left, making the total number of members ten. We organized as Seniors in September, l92 7, electing Argetha Henderson as president, Marjorie Millard vice-president, and lsabelle lfewster as secretary and treasurer. ln December a Senior ball was held in the gymnasium. Before the January Regents we picked out the' play, lt Happened in June, for which we started practicing immediately after Regents and gave April fifth. A After the january Regents two were added to our number, and' Francis Hargrave left us, leaving ten members. Officers were again elected after Regents, Marjorie Williams being elected presi- dent, Lorenzo Palmer vice-president, and Clarence Becker secretary and treasurer. ' 7 Thucydides states that, History is philosophy teaching by examples. As history is philosophy taught by examples, it might prove wise for ,the following classes to refer to the History of the Class of '28. Although its history will never succeed in getting into a history text book, it is in the seventh Annual published by the Juniors of O. H. S. and can be referred to there. l6'k.9lZOGS.9LIDGR.9Q.ZDGYJQf2Q,lTI3DGi9LIvD6X.2lZOGS9l.Ie3 i271
