Alpha 1924 LOW SENIORS May li e merit nd good will of the class of January. 1925, live in the hearts of ou Gloved .cachers and classmates forever. As we look back over the years, we tan s.arcely realize that it has been only three and one-half short, but happy yeai nee we ente.ed the doors of the O. U. H. S. We came ir.0 the high school as a class of twenty-seven, entering into the school activitie.. with a determination to win recognition. K4any of the students have block O' round O s. and numeral O s as proof of their athletic ability. No other class of its size, in the history of the school has taken such a prominent part, not only in athletics but in dramatics and in social functions. We were represented in football by Rae Baggarly. who played as end on the term, and by Forrest Wixom and Russell Turner, substitutes, who did their bit in helping to win the football championship of the Northern California High School Athletic League, after only four years of football experience. In boys basketball. Rae Baggarly plays touch. Russell T urner substitute on the Class A team, and Rudolph Ghianda on the Class B team. In gins' basketball we were represented by Bertha Crum and Eva Holley who pla;ed as side center and guard, respectively. Las. year Bertha Crum as shortstop, and Eva Holley as right fielder, made the baseball team. Bertha Crum. Eva Holley (captain), and Rubye Dryden showed their ability c. vo..eyball players in Orland at the Girls' Field Meet. Our class was represented in soccer football at the Girls' Field Meet in Orland. by Isabel Reece, who played on the team, and by Alma Chianda, substitute. For the past two years Bertha Crum and Eva Hoiley have participated in track. Francis Good, violinist, and Ru seii Turner, cornetist. have helped to make the school orchestra a success. Russell Turner also plays in the school band. Eva Holley was elected by the S.udent Body as secretary and treasurer, and as manager of Girls' basebau. I°la Bradley. Dorath, D.x. Clarence Po.ter. Isabel Reece, and Albea Scruggs have at various times .al.en part in school dramatics, some of them starring in operettas given by the students of the school. Bui athletics and dr.matics are not the only honors of which the class may boast. Although the standard of grading has been raised there are still a few who continue to make straight A's every quarter: and as a result of the good grades of the previous years, there are several who will have enough credits to entitle them to graduate in June, 1924.
