OKe ALPHA 1923 Lo $ Juniors Ray Baggarly - President Iola Bradley - Vice President Francis Good - Secretary Bertka Crum - Tax Collector WE, THE class of January 25, entered our High School as the first of the midyear classes, and therefore, it will be our honor to be the first class to graduate in January from the O.U.H.S. We entered with a reputation of being an extremely “bright” class, and consequently, our faculty expected quite a lot of extra fine work from us. We did our best to fulfill the great expectations of our teachers, and now, after two years of hard labor, we note with mingled em tions, the fact that our esteemed faculty does not expect quite as much of midyear cl isses entering since our cumiig. Ne ertheles3, we are proud of the fact that every quarter, e ei after the standard of grading has been raised, two or three of our members succeed in making straigut A’s, and the marks as a whole are, at least creditable. In the past y ar, we have been represented in music and dramatics by several members of our class, in the orchestra, chorus work, and in the operetta. Isabel Reece had one of the most important parts in the operetta, “The Feast of the Red Corn.” Her part, that of the Old Squaw, was very difficult, but nevertheless, her characterization was very finished and one of the best bits of acting in the offering. Rubye Dryden and Albea Scruggs also took part in the operetta. At the Freshman party our class presented the well known pantomime Pierrette and Pierot. The part of Pierrette was taken by I. Reece, Pierotby Everett Edgeworth, and Rae Baggarly was the love sick clown, Columbine. The story of Columbine’s love for the dainty Pierette, who in her fickleness of heart, accepted the love of the handsome Pierot, was given without words and danced to the “Poupee Valsante”, played by A. Scruggs and F. Good. In interclass athletics we have failed, as yet, to capture any championships, but our teams have always put up a strong fight and furnished lots of competition. In the first Semester this year, as High Soph3 our inter3la3s football and basketball teams were made up of men from the Low Sophs and our High Soph class. The football lineup was. Baggarly Turner Patton Ghianda Stetler Dunlap C. Penner Wixom S. Rippey H. Cole Edgeworth Stram Basketball: Cole Turner Stetler G. Rippey Baggarly Mace Men from our class who made regular High School teams were: Baggarly and Turner, played center and sub forward respectively on Class A Basketball; Stetler played running guard, Class B Basketball. Baggarly and Wixom subbed on the football team. Both men got into the game several times and showed some real stuff. Page Twenty-two

OLe ALPHA 1(523 High J uniors Glenn }. larders President Mae Harris Vice-President Doris Fry Tax Collector Viola Cole Sec y and Treas. HERE’S TO the class of “24”! What class has more ahead of her? With the laurels already won and with success and the foundation of success who should win more honors? Never in the history of the school has a class been better represented in all school activities as well as social functions. But it takes “pep” and “grit” to ever accomplish success a.iJ so we can say that if the lower classmen would follow in our footsteps and acquire some of “Wise Man Juniors” pep they are a sure sign of success. One of the most remarkable features of this class is that the whole of the Girls’ Basketball team consists of Juniors with the exception of one guard, a high Sophomore. They are Ella Crum, Mae Harris, Isabel Andrews, Glenda Carpenter, Beroha Crum, a low Junior and Belva Smith a high Sophmore. In Boys’ Basketball oar joys also made quite a showing. “A” team, Gene Good; “B” team, Jack C .ambers; “C” t am, Randall Egan and Fletcher Chamberlin. On the football field we were well represented by Otto Crum, Arnold Grubbs, Eugene Good, Capt. Elect, Ar id Pauley, Glen Marders, Fletcher Chamberlin, Ulysses Strang and Frank James. Not only in athletics do the Juniors hold honors but in musical talents also. The orchestra this year is a great success. The boys all conscientious workers practice several times a week. They have been in public demand on many occasions. Robert Harlan, Glenn Marders, Randall Egan and Gherald McCoy do much towards making this organization the success that it is. We have one girl in our class who is worthy of special praise, as she has spent much of her time in helping the school in many ways. Viola Cole has accomplished what perhaps no other one in the history of the school has ever done, she has made six of the cuts for the Alpha this year. The Girls Operetta this year was very successful, and the Class of “24” can boast the two principal characters and several others, most of whom have taken active part in previous plays. They are : Mae Harris, Annette Huganey, Isabel Andrews, Doris Fry, Frances Crowe, Edythe Guerin and Elizabeth Guerin. The boys that have won Block “O” have formed a society and it is expected that this society will prove very popular. They hope to give several dances and it has been proved in the past that they are very successful affairs. At the first school party this year each class gave some skit and we are very proud of the one given by the Junior class. Page Twenty-one
