presented December ll, 1945 was among the highlights of our junior year. Scholarship achievements were made by Luanne Lebsack, first in Typing I, Fern Brack, third in English III, and Joan Brack, third in-Bookkeeping. The most important event of the year was when we royally entertained the class of 'L,6, on May L,, l9A6 at a banquet, which conceded by all to have been successful. ' Our senior year which began with an enrollment of twenty-five, has been a busy one. Doris Karst who came from Russell, Kansas was forced to discontinue school September 27 on account of being afflicted with poliomyelitis. We lost two of our junior classmates. Marian Kuhlman transferred to Great Bend, Kansas to complete her high school education and Maynard Ackermann enlisted in the army. Our laugh-provoking memories are headed by a class party held in the high school building in November, a successful senior play WEverything Happens To Usn and published the Gray and Crimson to increase our funds for the trip we made so called Hsneak-day' trip. Among the last high-lights of our high school career was the banquet on April 26 at which time we seniors were royally entertained by the juniors. We were seniors together when all were saddened by the passing of our dear friend, teacher and county superintendent, Harvey H. Manahan. In the years to come these memories will mellow according to the frequency with which they are recalled--no regrets, no misfortunes, only the carefree joy and happiness which accompanied our Wdear old golden rule daysn. A few years hence, pick up this book and look at it during your pipe dreams, or when you have the blues, and be in ORHS once more laughing at the pranks of the unforgettable characters of the class.

The editor of this magazine is Leonard French, who is also the famous lawyer, Paul Herman. Leonard has adopted this second name because he is so famousg and two names are less confusing in his two vocations. Hubba, Hubba!! Look at that profile on the cover! Let's turn the page and find out all about her. Ah, here is an article about the cover girl. It's Ruth Anna Andres, remember her? She has been voted HMiss Cover Girl, ---- Boinglln by the famous lawyer, Paul Herman. We come to the picture pages. These pictures were taken by Robert WFlash Bulbu Maier and Eugene NClickW Cuthrell., WFlash Bulbn has invented a new type of camera which requires only a bulb--no camers. WClick'sN favorite quotation is, NLook at the monkeyn, after which he steps our from under the black cloth and gives a unique demonstration. Paging on, we see a picture of Melvin WStick 'em tightn Richter. He has now set up an annual year book publishing industry and he specializes in the informal page by using his special glue. Last but not least, we turn to an advertisement. We look closely, and again we look closer, Oh no! It couldn't be! But it is, Leo 'Muscle Boundn Lang, posing his beautiful and shapely legs for Berkshire nylons. This is only his favorite pastime. Otherwise, he is under the training supervision of his managers, Bernell WFishW Kerbs and Alvin HAbercrombieU Schugart. Next season HMuscle Boundn is up against the flea weight champion, Eddie NCrusherN Haller, who gains his strength by consuming enormous amounts of string beans. His manager is Fern WBlusherH Brack who blushes everytime Crusher walks into the ring without a shirt on. When not acting as manager for Crusher, Blusher idles away her time on her dude ranch in Wyoming, and Crusher is under contract to act in the Joan Davis show as Dr. Crenshaw. Bernell and Alvin, when not busy with Leo, are the owners of a race track in Monte Carlo and run a gambling casino for good measure. There's a rumor going around that Beverliann Kullmann will make her next appearance in the 3,000-capacity auditorium which was recently added to ORHS. Miss Kullmann is accompanied by the famous composer, 1.3
