Johnson Margaret Fry - - - Tax Coll. - - - Ruth Gerson Hi, there. Seniors! Here we come! We've almost caught up with you. Just to let the rest of the school know what kind of Seniors they are going to have next year, we will tell you a few things about ourselves. Many of the junior boys took in football this year, and there were some of them on the A” and 'B'’ teams. Both Bill Me Cutcheon and Elbert Seward showed up as star players, and they will probably continue their careers next year. Don't think that football is the only place where the juniors shine, because it is not. Indeed, we have quite a leaning toward dramatics, as you probably noticed when you saw the plays presented in December. You will remember that Lorabel Tredway carried away successfully the rather difficult part of a French maid in A Case of Suspension.’ and Bob Rutherford was the funniest professor imaginable. Charles Pratt was in that play. too. He looked every inch a college boy. Louise Smullen. another junior, recently participated in a Shakespearean contest at Berkeley. There are juniors taking prominent parts in the musical activities of the school, also. You will find a number of us contributing our squeaks to the band, to the orchestra, and to the Girls' Glee Club. We don't believe that these organizations could get along nearly as well without us: although they will have to some day Another achievement of which we are quite proud is our successful management of the farewell party for the mid-term graduates. Of course, we owe the financial support of the affair to the whole student body, but we feel that the work we put into it counts as something. Anyone who has had to see to decorations, program, music, punch and all the various details of a party can understand our sentiments. Not only have the members of our class taken part in school life, but many of them are also active in the Boy's and Girl’s Hi-Y Clubs, and other young people’s organizations. As a whole, we are full of pep. and about as studious as anyone. We were pretty good little Freshies. we believe, and not so bad as Sophomores. You may judge for yourself what kind of juniors we are. It remains for us. therefore, to hooe that as Seniors we may do something worth while for our school, and that we may always be a credit to the O.U.H.S.

Hamilton Christine Snow - - - Tax Coll. - - - F. Reed When the O.U.H.S. opened it's welcoming doors in September. 1925, it found the freshmen of the previous year to be very dignified Sophomores. The change surprised the upper classmen who could not realize that these sedate and composed young persons entering the Sophomore room were the freshmen of 1924, who had wandered around looking very much out of place and bumping into just the places where they weren’t supposed to be. But we have fully overcome our greenness and are now sailing our ships straight toward the shores of Wisdom. Our class has produced some athletes worthy of Sophomore traditions. The boys have made themselves prominent in football, speedball and other activities, while the girls have shown themselves equally capable of holding their own in their respective sports. Those boys who went out for football and made either the A or B teams are: A. Hislop, G. Howard, Wm. Me Cutcheon, A. Grace, H. Dole, C. Williams, W. Murphy, T. Gould. E. Bonneyfoy, W. Sweet, and E. Harter W. Sweet also played on the speedball team. We must give mention to the girls who made the A” team in the volley ball, and who, although there is no league, won the championship for the second time. In turn, at the Biggs meet, they met and defeated four schools, Live Oak. Chico. Durham, and Biggs, thus winning the title. These girls are: B.McBride (capt.), W. McClung, Doris Campbell, M. Rabe. E. Adkins, F. Reed, and Ella Rosenberg. The Sophomore class also has its share of literary talent, having led in the Short Story Contest for two successive years. Five of the eight members of the Journalism class are Sophomores. These are Wilda McClung, Wm. Sweet, Frances Bokmann. E. Rosenberg, and G. Rosenberg, all of whom are also conscientious workers on the “Times'1 staff. We want to give mention here to Louise Smullin. our former class member and president, who capably represented the Sophomores in dramatics. Louise has now been advanced to another class, making necessary the election of a new president. We are not left behind in musical talent as several of our members belong to the band, orchestra, and Glee Club. In the Student Body meetings we put forth our best efforts to stay to the front and several of our members hold Student Body offices. Although many waves will probably attempt to wreck our little boat, we shall still sail on to Junior-hood and Senior-hood, until finally reaching the shore of graduation.
