Poem Memories of our dear Orleans High School days, I’m sure will never die. Life will remind us of them in many ways, As the years pass swiftly by. Our greatest worry during these four years Was the night of our Freshmen Reception. But our second year we discarded our fears, For the new Freshmen we made no exception. The Junior Prom was foremost in our thoughts, During our third year at O. H. S. Patience and hard work helped lots To make this prom a big success. The end of our high school days is near, And soon the time when we shall part. For the Graduation will soon be here That each will forever treasure in his heart. And now, though we bid farewell to our school friends Our principal and teachers, too, Our thoughts and our loyalty do not end. To O. H. S. we will always be true. Arlene Perkins dedication We dedicate this year book to MISS ROWE a most understanding and patient teacher.

SENIOR ANNUAL 7a the MemhesU, tlte GIgM, '48 At this season of the year our thoughts are turning to graduation and to the time just beyond. Most of you have already formulated plans and you’ll be making one of the big breaks” in life when you leave home. You have high hopes for your future as do all of us. We live in a country where we have more security and more chance of hope for the good things of life than would be the case anywhere else in the world. One of the troubles with us is that we are so used to having good things that we come to take them for granted and fail to appreciate them. ROLFE W. SCHOPPE Life cannot be all take” and no give.” We cannot always stress our rights” without an equal stress on our duties.” In other words, our democracy only succeeds when we cooperate for the good of the greatest number even at some personal inconvenience. If you as members of the Class of ’48 have learned this lesson well (and most of you have) then we know we may count on you to do well. Whatever you do, wherever you arc, tfiere will be many times when your thoughts will turn back to the good old days” at O. H. S. and those of us on the faculty who may have played any significant part in your future will be proud to hear of your success. ROLFE W. SCHOPPE O. H. S. SENIOR ANNUAL 7 the fyiniilt that Gountb One of the high spots on the day of Commencement Week comes on the day your Year Book is released to you. I wonder, members of the class of 1948, just what significance your year book has for you. The book speaks of your accom- plishments, your interests, your ambitions. You have made a record on an ath- letic team—it is recorded here. You may have distinguished yourself by a fine dramatic ability—it too, is mentioned. Your scholastic honors and achievements are included here. In short, your Year Book is an excellent index of your accomplishments. It contains the personal records which after four years are reflected back on you. ANITA SETIEN Now, what of the years that lie ahead? Little can be said at this time. As a group you are facing conditions far different from those which any class has faced. Some will be fortunate, enough to go to college, some will enter business and office positions. Without a doubt, a few of the boys will go into the service. Wherever you find your destiny calling, make a plan and program to live by and stick to it. There are always two parts to any program—the start and the finish. The finish is the all important thing now. The world, professions and industries are all clamoring for people who can finish things. My sincere wish is that you may all have the desire and the courage to face a successful finish whatever comes. Sincerely, Miss Setien 8 O. H. S. SENIOR ANNUAL 6. S. fyoauttif MARY B. LITCHFIELD, B.

Glcuil tJliAtosuf. Dear Friend: I’m a senior now and it seems as though it was only yesterday that my mother scrubbed my face, and peered into my ears and sent me off to school. With apple in one hand and my shiny” pencil box clutched in the other, I met my best friend and we started off, happily, to school. It was in the first grade where I made new friends and started my studies. Miss Dorothy Porter was an understanding teacher and I learned many necessary fundamentals which I have never quite forgotten. In the second grade our teacher was Miss Alice Dwinell. It was this year I went through the painful experience of doing arithmetic. In the third grade under the leadership of Miss Irene Butler I learned more difficult things and began to learn to spell. My first three years in school proved pleasant enough and I looked forward to climbing those stairs. In the fourth grade I found school the most difficult but came through with flying colors,” thanks to Miss Thelma Stearns. I remember we built an igloo and made Eskimo costumes. We also exerted our artistic talent and arranged an Indian village in the sand box. I guess the high light of the year was the operetta, 'Hansel and Gretel. One of our class- mates was Hansel, Arvid Barney. In the fifth grade I remember how thrilled I was when I read about King Arthur and His Court.” Under Miss Ila Marshall we had a truly pleasant year. 16 O. H. S. SENIOR ANNUAL In the sixth grade I felt I was quite learned—that was soon disproved. This was the year we rounded out our first six years of education. We were ably directed this year by Miss Pearl Shannon. In the seventh grade I recall studying about Vermont and making a flour map. Miss Ruth Hopkins was our teacher and we formed a dramatics club with the eighth grade. The most exciting event, I guess, was the two one-act plays we put on. We had some hilarious moments and enjoyed every minute of it. It was also in this year that Wendell Dewing from Island Pond joined our class. In the eighth grade I felt I had reached one milestone in my life. Again, an important event of the year was the dramatic club plays. I guess our biggest thrill was being presented our blue diplomas certifying that we had fulfilled the state education requirements. It was at this time I realized I must face respon- sibilities and make my own decisions. Starting in the ninth year I began my high school career. I started making new friends. Outsiders from Coventry, Irasburg and Albany, Westmore and Evansville entered our class and we soon all became great pals.” We all sweated” out Freshman Reception. I became interested in sports and music. Mr. Barton and M iss Kambour were our sponsors and they helped to make it a most exciting year. In my sophomore year many interesting events occurred. We discovered how much fun it was to dish it out” instead of taking it” at Freshman Reception. This year we took part in the three one-act plays. We also ordered our class rings this year. The Bullock twins from Chester, Vermont entered our class this year. In the Junior year I began to realize how much I owed to the school. This was the year we really became a class united under the leadership of Miss Gretta Rowe. We won the three one-act play contest and also won the home-room competition cup from the seniors. The biggest event was, however, the Junior Prom. How we struggled and planned to make it the success it was. I have now reached my twelfth year of school. This year we presented our last play, Happy Go Lucky,” the title of which may fit our class members a few years ago, but right now we are all searching for that one answer, What do I want to do next?” We are right in the midst of graduation plans and we never dreamed there were so many details to look after. I’m going to miss my classmates, the school, class and school picnics, the baseball and basketball games, plays, and many, many other outside activities. Seven members of the class are originals”-—makes you wish all of those starting with you could have finished at the same time with you. The originals are Patricia Johnson, Ann Gray, Avis Austin, Ray Davison, Arvid Barney, Norman Cloutier, and Ralph Swett. Well, I must look toward the future, and hope I’ll remember everything I have learned and witnessed at O. H. S. Sincerely, A member of the Class of 48 O. H. S.
