JANET MASON, “Red” Janet, better known as “Red”, is always ready to bring a quick laugh from any class. We are never quite sure if she is kidding or not, because she has pulled so many jokes on so many of us. We are sure that she will succeed in anything which she does after high school, though. Good luck, “Red . Glee Club (1), (2); Softball 1), (2 , (3), (4); Press Club (4); F.H.V. (1»; Girls' Glee Club (1), (2».

Class History The class of 1947 would like to take you back twelve years by a time machine to review the history of the present Senior Class. Under Miss Dorothy Porter we started our studies and we all worked together as congenial buddies. In the second grade, with Miss Alice Dwincll, our fears were started but all went well. Miss Irene Butler was teaching our third year but a wonderful start soon diminished our fear. Our fourth year was most difficult of any we’d begun, but under Miss Stearns we had plenty of fun. Our fifth grade holds memories of things everlasting, and we wish to pay tribute to Miss Marshall’s fine teaching. Our sixth grade was tough as any could be, for under Miss Shannon came our graded degree. Now, to sum these years up, we had plenty of fun. In our plays and operettas we had worked as one. We weren’t little angels as our teachers will agree, for every little while we were as mean as could be. Now on to the seventh grade in O. H. S., which we’d been informed would be our greatest test. We thought we were everything, and very smart, but Miss Lovell soon taught us we were only a part. Under the sponsorship of Miss Helen Reed, we entered class competition, and once took the lead. We left Junior High, which had been plenty of fun, proud of our record and all that we’d done. In study hall, which was to be our home room, we encouraged new friends who expected their doom. With Mr. Barton’s aid we pulled through again, and we started to think of being women and men. We began to be problems in the Sophomore class, because we were watching others and catching on fast. We stayed after school, which we didn’t like a bit— we weren’t quite as cute as we’d like to admit. Our next advance up the ladder of learning was the Junior Class, for which we’d been yearning. We put on the prom for the class of ’46, and began to forget about those cute little tricks. Our time machine is running out fast, with this year which has been our last. We wish to take time to give praise to our teachers, for our high school learning and its many fine features. Our review is now ending a wonderful twelve years. And our leaving will be accompanied by smiles and tears. Page Fifteen
