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

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
