Class History In the fall of 1933, twenty-five excited little boys and girls marched into the first grade to begin their long and tedious journey of twelve years. This first year was comparatively easy under the able leadership of Miss Dorothy Porter. During our second year of this journey we changed sponsors to Miss Irene Butler who was very capable of supervising us and upon resuming our journey on the third year, we found ourselves again under her supervision. Under the leadership of Miss Thelma Stearns, we passed our fourth year with only a few mishaps and coasted along into our fifth year under the direction of Miss Ila Marshall. This year proved to be one of the best in our graded school career and it was here that we started our sports competition with other classes. Our sixth year is one that should not be forgotten, not because we were leaving the graded school, but because Miss Mildred Hay was often treating us with chocolate bars. We entered graded school with twenty-five members and we are leaving with twenty-eight. Under the friendly guidance of Miss Eola Goodrich in our first year of Junior High, we soon became accustomed to the ways of O. H. S. and during our eighth year we were under the sponsor- ship of Miss Helen Reed. It was this year that we won the Junior High Basketball Tourney and put on the puppet show called Pin- occhio.” In the fall of 1941, forty-one freshmen started their high school careers under Coach” Barton. This was the year that the out-of- town students had a tough time getting accustomed to our ways. Freshmen Reception was survived and we settled down for the year which passed with few mishaps. Miss Greta Rowe took us on the tenth mile of our journey and after a difficult task we successfully carried out a one-act play. We remember this year as the last one our Charleston classmates were with us due to the absence of a school bus the following year. We changed sponsors for a final time in our junior year and although our class had shrunk a great deal, we successfully carried out the Junior Prom. It was during this year that we lost Morris Leach and Marvin Hilliard to the armed forces, bcth of whom shall not be forgotten. Now we come to our last and most important year. Out of a Freshman class of forty-one, only twenty-one are graduating and PAGE TWENTY.ONE
