school. The people showing the visitors around are also- members of the Class of '51 who have remained in Osceola Mills. John Shulick is supervis- ing principal of the new school. Kenny Wirtz and Dottie Griffith are gym teachers, and they really give the students a work-out. Eddie Kephart is the football coach, and his team has been undefeated for the last four sea- sons. Of all the football games his team has Won, he says beating Philips- burg hurt him most. Of course that is only because Russell Donahue is the Philipsburg coach. Mary Rapsey teaches dramatics. Bertha Bryan and Janet Snyder are math teachers. The health department is under the -direction of the school nurse, Verona Hollis. Here is something hard to believelRichard Demchak is a history teacher at O.H.S., and he is said to be as capable as Miss Williams, if not more. The fellow that just drove up in the taxi is Jim Whalen, director of the three hundred piece school band. The taxi driver, Dick Haney, was also a member of my pet class. He works for the Faster Than Sound Taxi Company, owned by Jack Fritz. Jack and Pete Demchak both started a taxi service, but Jack's service was so fast that Pete was forced to change to a bus line. He now employs Al- fred Hughes and Jim Scovern as dependable bus drivers. After a tour of the school, the class is going to the best restaurant in town for supper. The restaurant is owned by Judy Mott, who employs Charles Varner as chef and Anna Grafe, Janet Tomco, and Susanna Pat- rickuas waitresses. Anna Mineweaser at the pzano will provide dinner music. Please excuse those folks that came in lateg they were detained by business. Bob Hcman is a representative for Charles Atilas, and Jack Burns works for the Toni Permanent Company. Harry McElroy and Lois McAvoy may be heard over the radio as a comedy team. They have taken the place of Fibber McGee and Molly. Justin Kmhart and Jack Jones model suits for Pennshire, whose motto is, Suits for men of all sizes. There is a great jubilee among the former classmates as they recall gay old memories. The football team has gathered together in the gym to relive and slightly exaggerate the first unexpected victory at the famous Tyrone game. fThere have been many since.J The ladies are marvelling over the enormous mirrors and the leather cushioned seats in the lounge. Even the smallest improvements are noticed-down to the sparkling glass doorknobs. Groups are gathered in the massive auditorium to enjoy the enter- tainment provided by the musicians of the past and also the surprising, unrehearsed skits, many of which represent a delightful happening of their school days. During intermission the groups journey to the refreshment booth for a quick snack before re-entering the auditorium to conclude a joyous reunion with the singing of the Senior Farewell Song. Time has come to say goodbye to the seniors of 1951. I lDuffyJ will remain within the Osceola Mills High School, but my hwrt goes with the seniors wherever they may be. The reunion has been a Wonderful ex- perience, which I will never forget. Other classes will came but they will never surpass the Class of 1951. I CDuifyJ am saying farewell to the greatest class that I have ever had the privilege to know. Wd! aa Wd! Iva! Anyone ever be as fond of drummers as Mildred Bagrosky Jack Burns give his running ability to Jerome Huges to enable him to ar- rive at school on time Anita Mignot ever go steady like Betty Baughman Any other underclassman take as much pride in his mustache as Pete Demchak

Rememdm Zia Hy MOTTO We Can Because We Think We Can FLOWER Red and White Carnations COLORS Navy Blue and Silver SONG Melody - Halls of Ivy We leave this dear old school house For it's graduation day, And we will not forget it When we're far, far away. From this school of Osceola Many memories We have gained. Though now we leave we're smiling For these years weren't in vain. Now with our lessons learned We have to take our turn And graduate as seniors have before. But as we sadly start Our journeys far apart, A part of every heart will linger here In the halls of this ourvschool house, Where our books and friends will stay. Now work is done. The time has come For graduation day. And now we wish, to thank youg Dear old Osceola High, For pleasures that you gave us. In our hearts they will lie. Since we cannot stay forever, We must go and face the world. A new life is awaiting As our school lives unfurl. The footsteps of us all Are answering the call For graduation day has come at last. But as we do depart The memories of our hearts Will stay with us like friendships of the past From the school of Osceola, Where we lived and learned so well. Now in our caps and gowns we bid You all farewell.
