To the Members of the Senior Class The season of graduation always seems to bring us mixed emotions—satisfaction because we have accomplished the goals we have been striving toward for twelve long years—sorrow that some of the friendships we have formed will dim—doubt about our future in a troubled world—hope that we may be on our own and not be restrained by home and school don’ts.” Your four years pleasant memories to tight basketball and basebal 1 games and many of the social events. Perhaps some of the assem- blies will stay in your minds and surely some of the amusing situa- tions which so often arise will ■be recalled. We even hope that some smatter- ing of your subject matter will also be re- tained, perhaps to prove of benefit later. When a grad- uate makes a name for him- try to get back for the school I heartily wish in Orleans High School have look back upon. You will through the many years ahead of you. given you many remember those self in any of 'the many walks of life his Alma Mater likes to pointwith pride and say, He went to school in O r 1 e a n s.” The school hopes its grad- uates will feel the same way and remember with pride that they are O. H. S. Alumni. One of the best ways to remain in touch with the school is to be- come active members of the Alumni Asso- ciation and then, once a year in June to Banquet. Speaking for myself and for the you the best of success and happiness all PRINCIPAL ROLFE W. SCHCPPE Sincerely yours, Rolfe W. Schoppe. PAGE FOUR

Class 'Poem When Orleans High fades from our view And we grope out on untried ways, We shall remember all the days Made full by comrades, fair and true. The days we find our pathway cold When we would stop to take a rest From life, the things remembered best Will be the days we now would hold. We do not hope to conquer fame Nor yet to fail in what we do. We care not what our pitcher threw As long as the batter lost the game. We should expect, and rightly so, Our pathway blocked by thorns and bars But with the guidance of the stars You taught us, we shall meet the foe. Your teachings are a shining light Illuminating darkest trails. A wind to fill our billowing sails, Your help; and we start out alright. We wish to take this time for thanks, To you who taught us, helped us out, Uncovered faults and banished doubt And gave us start to join the ranks. We can not come back to remain, Within your ranks, but we shall yearn, And often many shall return Remembering our good times again. Class Motto: To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield. Tennyson Class Flower: Red Rose. Class Colors: Maroon and Aqua. PAGE THHEE

To the Class of 1946 As your sponsor during the last third of your Senior Year, it is my privilege to give you a few words of parting advice. It is customary at a time like this to point out to the graduating students the perils and hardships that lie ahead and to spur them GRETTA L. ROWE on to greater efforts by well chosen words of encouragement. The economic and social problems you must face and solve have never been more numerous nor more difficult. That you may have the courage, character and wisdom to act in such a way as to find the correct solutions and make the world more nearly ideal, is my wish for you. PAGE FIVE Miss Rowe, Senior Sponsor.
