We hope we ha.ve been the best of small children, however, for we wish to make a record for ourselves, as have the other classes before us. and to know that our four years spent in the old O. U. H. S. have not been entirely in vain. From the beginning we have taken part in the school activities. We returned the upper classmen s parties with equal enthusiasm, and are represented in sports. William McCutcheon is already beginning his career on the gridiron and in basketball, having played on the “A teams. The High Frosh girls have done their bit in school dramatics. They had parts in The Doll Shop , Fun Fiesta , and Aunt Mary’s Xmas.” We hope that until 28 comes we shall do all Alma Mater can expect of us. and having graduated, be able to say that we have done our bit. All in all we are an ambitious bunch of children, although we refuse to be seen and not heard . 23

Alpha 1925 History) of 4ie 1925 Lo ? FresKmen On the nigh: of January the twenty-ninth, our class of thirty-nine hoys and girls graduated from the Bird Street Grammar School. In place of the same exercises used by former graduating classes, which consisted of formal speeches by the valedictorian and other class officers, we decided to present a play in which all students could take part. The name of the play was T he Gift of Time. It was largely attended and pronounced a thorough success by many of the parents and friends. After the play our class gift was unveiled. It was a statue of Abraham Lincoln and was the first gift of that kind to be presented in the history of the school. Next came the presentation of the diplomas, the most important part of the evening, so we thought. The next time we met was in the Freshman class room at the High School. We were not alone however for several other Freshies came from country schools and we rapidly became acquainted. Some studies were new to us and we found High School altogether different from Grammar School, but we are gradually adjusting ourselves to the change. After we had attended High School for three weeks the student body gave their semi-annual Freshman reception, which was enjoyed highly by our class. 25
