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
