GIgAA. 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

6 O. H. S. 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
