(GMrans High � cf)xiol Senior Yearbook 'DEDICATION We, the class of 1952 of Orleans High School, gratefully dedicate this yearbook to our parents, who, through their guid- ance, patience, and sacrifices, have made these four happy years possible. CLASS FLOWER White Rose CLASS COLORS Blue and White CLASS MOTTO Observe the Opportunity” 3 Principal's Message PRINCIPAL ROLFF. W. SCHOPPE To the Class of 1952: In completing successfully the requirements for graduation from high school you have hurdled one of the barriers set up for you along life’s way. It is to be hoped that you have enjoyed these high school years because for most people they are happy years. It is also to be hoped that you have acquired by now a sense of responsibility and a realization that there is a place and time for work as well as fun. We have all heard the old saying to the effect that the future belongs to those who get ready for it. Learning never has to stop whether in school or out. Probably, as a complete group you will never again all get together at a given lime and place as you have been accustomed to doing at 8:30 in the morning five days a week. Graduation thus becomes a time of joy for goals achieved and sorrow because we must part with friends. Let the joy outweigh the sorrow. Keep an eye on the goal ahead and don’t give up in your effort to get there just because the way is difficult. For myself and for the faculty I wish you all success in whatever your under- takings may be. Rolfe W. Schoppe 4 0. H. S. YEARBOOK Sponsor s Message H. A. LAMBERT Formal schooling is over for most of you. Facts and formulas that you have memorized will soon be forgotten. But the attitudes and opinions you have formed and the tastes you have developed are with you for good. My wish is that they help you succeed in whatever you may choose to do. Sincerely, FI. A.

Our first stop was Tiny Village. Here we learned our A B C’s under the supervision of Miss Ruth Drown. After learning all the other necessary funda- mentals, we continued on to the next stop. This village we called Eager because of our ambitions and the more difficult subjects we learned under the leadership of Mrs. Lavine. Up the stairs we climbed, proud as can be in 1944, into Grade 4, Stone Village. This was our first introduction with the stone-age and other historical events and people under the teaching of Miss Thelma Stearns. In June, 1945, we were promoted to Adolescent Village. We were all thrilled because we were allowed to become patrolmen and leave the classroom five minutes earlier. Our teacher was Miss Ila Marshall. Our last stop in the villages was the sixth grade which was named Sub-teen. We studied hard, reviewing and learning, but unlike the other stops we had two different instructors, Mrs. Wilfred Leslie the first half of the year and Mrs. Doris Woodard, the second half. We now changed our route and continued our journey. The two Teen Towns that we stopped at were different but our home room teachers, Miss Hazel Osgood and Miss Marybeth Litchfield helped us iron out our difficulties and then we received our diplomas. In Greenland City we met new friends from Evansville, Irasburg, Coventry, Brownington and Albany. We all dreaded the Freshman Reception and the Sophomores poured it on. Music and Sports became our interest, but homework, we found, must not be neglected. Mr. Barton, our homeroom teacher, was patient with us because we were “green.” This was our first stop in our high school career. We were really busy at our next city. Miss Mary Parker and Mrs. Greta England directed our class play, Orville’s Big Date,” which won the competition cup. We dished it out at the freshmen at the Freshman Reception, and added our share of pupils in school activities. After waiting patiently for a long time we finally had an opportunity to order our class rings. Now we were upperclassmen! And, of course, very proud. Miss Mary Parker and Mrs. Greta England were expert guidance in directing another winning one-act play, Swept Clean Off Her Feet.” Our real big social event of 0. H. S. YEARBOOK 21 the year was the Junior Prom. After hours of planning and hard work on our theme, a flower garden, our prom was a success. We participated in Music Fes- tivals, basketball and baseball games. Most of our names were on the honor roll. We now have arrived at our last stop. This year we presented our class play, Everything’s Off.” We all did our share of work on the yearbook, and preparing for commencement week. Our faculty advisor on these difficult tasks is Mr. Herman Lambert. Some of us will not continue our journey of education and some will continue on, but wherever we may be, we will never forget the studies, the fun, the thrilling basketball and baseball games, the many friends we made, and teachers who taught us what we now know. We will always try to live up to our motto, Observe the Opportunity.” Class Gifts JEAN ALEXANDER To Jean we give this ticket which permits her to have her hair curled and styled for a whole year at Manselles Latest Fashion Salon on Fifth Avenue, New York City.
