“Situations change.. .we move on... yet we will always treasure the memories we make along the way. ” Yearbook Staff Our high school years seem to last forever. When were freshman we think, Four long years? This will never end! But as we move up the ladder and become seniors we say, Where has all the time gone? Just yesterday we were underclassmen, and now we re ready to move on to college or our first job. We blink and find that the years have flown by. We've made hundreds of memories along the way. Remember how exciting it was to leave the shelter of junior high and embark on our journey through the wonders of HIGH SCHOOL? How about all the people we've met and the friends we've made? The trips to Burger King at lunch and the challenge of trying to get back on time? The late nights painting posters and writing chants for rallies? The weeks of building floats and creating skits for Homecoming? Football games, dances. Spirit Week, participating in sports and clubs, even cramming for finals will always be something to remember. However, the traditions of OHS did not begin with our generation. Our school has seen many generations graduate. Many of our grandparents, aunts, uncles, and parents have shared the same experiences we have encountered. We have inherited much from the past history of Oroville High, and will influence future students of our school. No matter where we end up in life, we will know that we have helped to shape the legacy of OHS. 2 TRANSITIONS

“Life is like a carousel. The scenery flies by, yet Things around us remain the same. Life is, in some ways, like a ride on a carousel. During high school, many of us become so busy that we allow the scenery and our experiences to shoot by in an indistinct blur. The people and objects closest to us — our homes, families, school, teachers, and good friends — are always near us, though, just as the patient horses on the carousel support us as we are carried along with the speed of the ride. From this circular, enchanted world, we can see the action going on around us. From the moment we give our ticket to the operator, we enter a world of sparkling music and slowly bobbing horses. We sometimes catch only quick glimpses of our present because the constant motion of the carousel makes it difficult to focus on anything before it’s gone again — lost in the past, part of our transitions.
