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

ALPHA iq 5 HigK Soph omores Eugene Rippe$ President Belva Smitk Vice-President Stephen Andrews Tax Collector Cecilia Isaac Sec’y and Treas. LONG LIFE totheclass of ’25 bearer of torment and anguish into the lives of countless teachers. Anyone in the Sophomore class looking into the school world with its higher and lower classes and classmen is well able to appreciate theworkof theclass which is doing so much to make attentiveness, reasonableness, tolerance and a good respect for the teachers. The results of the class’efforts are not to be reckoned in cold statistics but rather for the good imparted to the lower classmen. The Sophomores make a splendid use of their time, especially of their stolen minutes. The lower classes cast envious glances at us as well as glances of respect. The class has always taken partin the school affairs both in the social life and in athletics. We made our bestshowing in football, where Wallace Mace proved to be the Sophomore Star, while Roy Stram and Paine Dunlap played as Subs. In Basketball we also had sophomores to represent us, Eugene Rippey, Wallace Mace, and Archie Muir played on the A, B, and C, teams respectively, while Belva Smith played as guard on the girls’ team. In Baseball we were represented by Sam Rippey, Angus Moore and William Minnick who playedsubs In Track, Russel Turner, Harry Cole, Carl Penner, Henry Patton, Archie Muir and Paine Dunlap are proving to be good material. Some are training this year so that they will be in good condition for football next term. Under the direction of Miss Nelson, our class teacher, we showed our ability as actors and actresses. Weputona skit called “School Days” at a Valentine party given by the High Freshmen. Those taking part were, Mae Slissman, Cecilia Isaac, Belva Smith, Roy Stram, Bruce McClard and George Hopper. Now that you have read the work of the Sophomores, you will know the important part the Sophomores are taking and will take in the School affairs.
