■ r r { ALPHA Gleeson Powers President High Frosh Harry Kister President Low Frosh Freshman History You may call us ugly ducklings now. but you just wait until we turn into swans! Just to prove to you that we have a good many promising features we will tell you some. A large number of us sing with all our might in the Glee Club, and Mr. Plaskett is satisfied with the work of the little Freshies in the orchestra and band. Both the girls and the boys have shown a great deal of vim in athletics. Their start is a good one toward future victories for the Oroville High. Both classes were welcomed by receptions in their honor, at the beginning of their first year. The entertainments were very successful and were enjoyed by every one. They were considered quite important events in our early history. We are known to be “pretty-well-behaved youngsters but if it wasn't for Mr. Nesbit we would be almost 3s dead as the Seniors. Now. are you thoroughly convinced of our good qualities? When the ugly ducklings become swans and journey forth into the pond of life, many will gain recognition in the world.

 4 ALPHA iMorrow Steadman Gladys McCutcheon President High Sophomores President Low Sophomores Sophomore History Did you say Sophomores? Step right up and look us ove and take it from us. Oroville Union High School didn t know what wide awake, wise, progressive, promising, original, studious, and ambitious Sophomores were until we came along. We re so wise even the Seniors ask us questions and receive answers sometimes. We have eleven Latin and fifteen Spanish students. The girls as well as the boys took an active part in athletics. Five of our members were on the Speedball team: seven on the 1 ennis ladder and several went out for Track and Volley ball. On the Girls' Football team our girls were the foremost particp-ants and Captain G. McCutcheon proved to be following in the footsteps of her big brother. I he team was a howling success while it lasted. At the Senior Farewell each class gave a skit. For our number we had a broadcasting station which proved a great success and was received with much applause. When we entered high school as Freshmen in 1925 there were eighty of us. Although we have lost fifteen of our members we are still a large class. Watch us next year! o

ALPHA V John Day President Mid Year Frosh Mid-Year Frosh Flistory As we entered the O. U. FI S. only this last mid-year, we have not as yet. had much chance to prove what we can do. but we have lots of lime ahead of us There are several husky boys among us who have already been singled out and who bid fair to become outstanding athletes. The girls are also wide awake and it will only be a matter of time before they are holding down the regular positions on girls teams. We enjoyed the reception given in our honor, on February 1 2. and wish to thank the upper classmen for their interest in us. During the Spring Festival we showed our ability to work on committees and we feel that we helped to make it a success. We are taking a big interest in the Student Body and are looking forward, eagerly, to the time, when as upper classmen, we will have more chance to take an active part in all Student affairs.
