Carlyle Washburn Clyde Mastellar Freshman History Upon entering the imposing portals of this higher institution of learning, we, the Frosh of 1927, must confess our knees were inclined toward weakness. We even imagined our complexions to be turning green, but now we have acquired such sophistication that it rivals that of the seniors. A large number of us warble with our silvery voices in chorus, and those of us who do not sing, try our ability at blowing something in orchestra and band. We have also a number of actors and actresses who participated in the freshman skit at our welcoming reception. Did you ever notice unfamiliar figures completely submerged in football suits (hand me downs, of course) out on the gridiron? Well, they were probably some of us. At Student Body meetings we sit in the balcony and grin down upon the upper classmen. Just watch us next year when we overcome some of our timidity! We aren’t as dumb as we look, and by the time we are seniors, the O.U.H.S will begin to realize that she will lose a mighty fine group of students when we graduate. We felt rather weak in our athletic activities at first (or at least some of us did) but now, no one need be surprised if a Helen Wills, a Red Grange or a Paavo Nurmi emerge from our midst to do glory to our school.

Bettie Bonner Lionel Wixom Sophomore History We, the Sophomores of 1928, entered the Oroville Union High School as Freshmen on our upward cimb for knowledge. All through our first and second years we have shown ourselves able in every re pect. Our boys composed on? ha'f of the “B” football squad, not to mention their ability in baseball, basketball, tennis and track. 7 he girls of the Soohomore class are also willing to do their bit whenever they can, most of them being members of the Girls’ Athletic Association. The on? thing which most noticeably stands out is that Frankie Meixner and Laura R-?d hav: had bestowed upon them the high honor of receiving block “O’s.” Many girls in Miss Fifer s Chorus are from the Sophomore class. We are also very proud to claim a few of our ouni's as Honor Society members. Soon we will be Juniors but always our motto will be “Ever Upward”, trying to do our best in every field of life.

Mid year Freshmen Arthur Parker Darrel Damon Low Freshman History Our class is small, having only thirty-six srudents. Our small numbers, however, will not interfere with our taking a high place in soiul activities, athletics, and scholarship. The boys arc, on the average, quite large, and capable of making good in football and other athletics. Already some of them have showm skill in track, baseball and interclass football. The girls arc doing well in athletics, also. Several have a chance to be on the Girls’ Soccer team. They arc active in other sports, too, as volley ball, running, jumping, and hurdling. We srill have basketball and football before us. and although a Low' Frosh class cannot hope to w in a position against the upper classes, wrc at least intend to show’ the right spirit and rurn out “en masse.” After all our interest in sports w’c do not forget our real purpose, and what w’c are in school foT. A large majority of our class are studious and take their wrork seriously, forging upward and onward to the high ideals, w'hich so many seek, but so few find.
