Hallies Spirit of “29 This year has seen a decided improvement .n toe spirit ol the O. U. H. S. rooting section. Under the supervision of yell leaders. Eddie Costelio and Jimmie Popper, a very efficient section has been establ.shed. The entire school showed real enthusiasm in their support of the “1 iger' teams. A big rally was held the night before the football game with Yuba City, starting the 1929 season of league football, and Oroville was out to win. Boys had worked all day getting old boxes for the bonfire, and they suce ded in getting a pile. 1 he mam lea.u.' ot th . raiuy was the burning of the Yuba City effigy. By the noise heard, Yuba City must have been sure their doom was sealed. Each member o. the ‘A’’ squad gave a short speech, and then Bun Onyett rendered his masterpiece. A new school song was practiced and sung accompanied by the band. (We fear it was sung more loudly than beautifully). After the rally a serpantine was woven throughout the business district. It succeeded in con jesting traffic and making everyone tired and “het up , not to mention excited. On the whole, the rally was the most successful one this year. Rooting sections were in evidence for basketball, baseball and track as well as football.and all teams were enthusiastically supported.

FRESHMAN CLASS Freshman Class History If we, the FrOsh of 1928, on entering Oroville Union High, were required to knock at the door, our knees would have served the purpose. But, as many others before us have done, we soon overcame our timidity and adjusted ourselves to new and different circumstances until now, while occupying our established seats in the balcony during Student Body meetings dare so much as to drop a few wads of paper and chalk upon the important Seniors below. Nevertheless it will be with a great deal of pleasure that we will leave those distinguished seats to the next “Freshies” and take our places on the floor below. We have not had much time, as yet, to distinguish ourselves upon the athletic field or to become prominent in the societies and act-ivies of the school, but you must admit we show great promise. During rallies it is hard to say what the yell leaders would do if our concentrated “squeaks” were silenced. We are always ready to add our spirit and pep to any school enterprise. Some of us tried awfully hard to make the “A’’football squad this year but much to our sorrow we made merely the “G”. We are already looking forward to next year when we shall make another try for that great “A’ squad, and perhaps (?) be accepted (a large awed sigh is escap-n ' by the Block O society. The girls are not to be forgotten and shoved into the background, (either, for they are not lacking in pep.) Just see how many Galli Curcis have arisen to the heights of the Glee Club just this year. 3nd many a basketball star has been discovered in our ranks.
