soPHoMoRE CLASS HISTORY Once into the portals of wisdom'N When September's sun shone bright, Came twenty-three bright-eyed children, Oh, their greenness was a sight. In l9h5, as Freshmen they held their first meeting and elected Joan Mausolf, Presidentg Carl McCord, Vice-Presidentg Vernon Gleissner, Secretary, Leonard Kerbs, Treasurer, and Loren Hartman, Student Council Representative with Mrs. Leslie Schroeder and Mrs. Martin-Hemken, Sponsors. Blue and silver were chosen as the class colors, pink carnation, the flower, and 'Do it welln, the motto. Wayne McCurdy withdrew from school during the first semester and two new students, Carolyn Campbell and Kathryn Stone, enrolled as freshmen during the second semester. I When school started in l9L6, the class found that they had gained two new students--Kenneth Schmidt from Enterprise, Kansas and Richard Hackler from Wynona, Oklahoma, but lost six members, Mildred McCord, Carl McCord, Phyllis Quimby, Kathryn Stone, Carolyn Campbell and Francis Kulhman. The class organ- ization consist of a President, Gottfried Kolbg Treasurer, Corrine Schlegelg Student Council, Leonard Kerbsg and Sponsor, Michael Biggs. At the October hobo party Gottfried Kolb copped first prize for being the best dressed hobo. The class was active in sports and-other extra activities. In our rank now as Sophomores Oh, we feel the symptoms now And we listen to the rumors With a wrinkled, knitted brow. Sophomores now so happy and gay, And just two happy years to wait The mist will vanish from our eyes As we sight the Senior gate. Still pursuing, still acquiring As we labor day by day Noble deeds are still transpiring Duty first, come what may. Oft there will be a vacant space When the Sophomore class must sigh Fond memory cannot efface The golden days of Otis High.

FRESH EN CLASS HISTORY Although it seems impossible for the history of the Freshmen Class to be as long and brilliant as the other classes lnevertheless, interesting things have happened in the Freshmen circle this year. In September, l9A6, twenty-one freshmen entered ORBB to take another step up the ladder of education. At the first class meeting Merlin Meisinger was elected Presidentg Maynard Brack, Vice-Presidentg Billy Krestine, Secretaryg Velda Wilhelm Treasurerg Lois Jean Appel, Student Council and John Sipe appointed as sponsor. Before the greenish color began to fade the coldg aristo- cratic Seniors looked upon them in contempt and initiated them to the ways of the beloved school, by making the wear tacky clothes, showing due respect to upper classmen and closed the day with an all school picnic supper. At the January meetings and with much deep concentration they selected 'United we standg divided we fall' as their mottog blue and white, class colors, and American beauty rose as their flower. As time past they became better acquainted with the school affairs and were well represented in all school activities. WE FRESHIES They call us 'Little Freshies' And we feel we are abused-- But soon we'll show our elders That our time we have well used. This little class of Shamrocks On fertile soil is growingg And tho' they call us Freshies we are very, very knowing. We're always out for work or play In any kind of weatherg But work or play--in rain or shine I'm sure we'll always stick together. And though we're only Freshies This group of twenty-one we recognize our title 'Green' f But we'll blossom one by one. . So after all, we're not so bad -e - When you c me to think it o'er - For we have to pass the Shamrock stage To be a Sophomore. 4: X E x X 4, Y if x A Eiga.
