Alpka 1924 HIGH SENIORS Our sojourn in this high school since 1920 has been a busy time for every member of our class, for we have been active in every phase of school life. Our ciass was the largest that had ever entered the school, and, with so large a representation at the beginning of our career, it has been easy for us to establish a record that we hope those who follow us will be able to maintain. We first made a name for ourseives in the high school operetta of 1921 when several of our members took prominent parts. The class of “24“ has always been weil represented in all branches of athletics. During our Sophomore year over half of the girls' basketball team was composed of members of our class. The boys, too, were well represented in this activity; also several prominent members of the football team were our classmates. During our Junior year the girls’ basketball team, with the exception of one guard, was composed of Juniors. At the same time several star members ot the boys' teams were also Juniors. We are proud to say that eight of the football eleven belonged to the class of “24.” This year the star gridiron men were all Seniors and we are very proud of them, for it was through their efforts that the football championship of the N. C. S. A. L. was won for the first time in the history of our school. Our fame as musicians, vocalists, and stage performers is also weil known. Several members of the class of “24 have been prominent in the chorus, the orche tra. and the operetta of each year. Last February the Parent-Teacher Association had a “Fiesta of Fun.” and in this we took a prominent part, showing our dramatic ability. Now as this year’s graduating class we are looking forward to doing far gre. ;er things than we have so far accomplished. Before leaving the school we would like to say that a great deal of the honor we received here is due to the wonderful influence of our teachers. We realize that often we must have been the causes of many nights of worry to our faculty advisers, for being but human, chalk and erasers have often fled from our hands at an enemy across the room. Once also during our Junior year we decided that we were as deserving of a cut day as any Senior. Consequently, we made our plans for a “cut.” Someone “let the cat out of the bag. and it was a cheap looking bunch of Juniors that appemed promptly at nine o’clock in our junior class room of the O. U. H. S.. on the morning that we had planned to be across the hills and far away. But we ht:d learned a lesson. Never again will we let the news get out that we intend to have a “cut” day. Oh. we have all had our experiences and we feel that we are better off for having had them. So if on the night of our graduation we seem to be light-hearted and carefree, remember, the rest of you students, that it is only in an effort to hide our deep regret at having to leave the old O. U. FI. S. which has grown so dear to us in our four years here. Page 7
