John Gaskins Bernice McBride Senior History When we, the Seniors of ’28, look back to the time when we were the Freshmen of ’24, it hardly seems possible that our high school career is ended. It is with pardonable pride that we review our record. If space would permit us to mention the names of all the Seniors who have accomplished something during their four years here there would not be a name missing from our class roll. We did not wait until we were upper classmen to enter into the school activities but we launched full speed, during our freshman year. Our four years are full of achievement. As freshmen we were represented in every school activity and we revived the publication of the Oroerat. When we were sophomores the newly organized journalism class, made up mostly of members of our class, revived t e O. U. H. S. Times. Out of this class grew the interest which later terminated in the organization of the Honor Society. And now, as Seniors, many of the girls, officers and members of the G. A. A. are helping to launch another new shin on the sea of school activities. . . In dramatics, glee club, band, orchestra, athletics and social activities the names of the members of our class are written in large letters. Words cannot explain the pleasure and profit gained from our four years of high school experiences.

Senior Futures Vi:h a photograph of each graduating Senior, I visited a fortune teller in a gypsy encampment which was situated just across the river. 1 was anx ous to i now what Fate held in store for each of my classmates, end knew that this lady was an excllcnt character reader. I entered her tent, trembling with uncertainty, and handed her the package containing the photographs. She spread them out on a small sable use 1 for such purposes, mumbling as she arranged them. Th. signatures had all been affixed, so that I would not have to interrupt her by giving the names of the subjects. She began to talk, speaking in the best of cultivated voices. “I see Oroville ten years from today.
