The Board of Education composed of Alex Brack, and E. E. Hopkins who have served since 1930 and P. P. Kaiser since 1939 are genuinely interested in the betterment of the school.

Marvin Schlegel's another one too, Studying was something he liked to do. Elman Schlegel was the comical one, In every activity he was full of fun. Jimmy Moore was doing very well, with the freshman class, students did tell. Wayne Petersen, a tall blonde boy, Baseball pitching seemed to be his joy. Bill Folkerts, Gus as we all have heard, Around a crowd, he seldom said a word. Duaine Eolkerts could always be found, When something new was coming around. Calvin Steitz, another senior's name, With a Diamond T. truck he won his fame. Marvin Wagner was our A-H star, He grew some wheat that was best by far. Paul Kreutzer, our merchandise king, A shoe store business seemed to be the thing Lowell Sohm has not made a decision as yet, I-Ie's another senior we won't forget. Arnold Ochs saw plenty of grease and dirt, -In his brother's garage at mechanical work. Robert Dietz, one of the senior boys, You seldom heard him make any noise.

Delta Marie Brack, a shorthand whiz, Her teacher says that she really is. Violetta Oetken is good for a word, When it comes to singing she's like a bird. Ina Mae Mausolf is the typing star, For in her class she was best by far. Ellen Dirks, the blonde of the class, When the sun hits her hair it looks like brass Dorma Jean Tanmmen has the chauffeur name, When it came to driving she never was lame. Helen Corn came'to Otis her senior year And most of her subjects seemed very clear. Shirley Reimer is a cheerleader swell, At every game you could hear her yell.

Andree President---- ---- --Eldon Matal Vice-President-----Wayne Petersen Secretary-----------Lowell Sohm Treasurer----------Elman Schlegel Student Council---William Folkerts The year was 1944, and the month was September, when the present Senior clas entered 0.R.H.S. Shortly after the school bell sounded on that beautiful Septem- ber morning four long years ago, we were made to realize what atoms of insig- nificance we were. Although we were 36 shy, green Freshmen we soon distinguished ourselves by our diligence. At the first meeting we elected Wayne MoCurdy, President, Marvin Schlegel, Vice-President, Dolores Mausolf, Secretary, Elman Schlegel, Treasurer, and Delta Marie Brack, Student Council representative. Our flower, motto, and colors were chosen at this meeting. The entire class was well represented in the school activities. Marvin Schlegel and Duaine Folkerts played a part in the one-act play I Shall Be Waiting . On April 25, 191.5 , the Freshmen held a party, which was largely attended by members of the class and was a huge success. Only 26 of the crigindl. 36 returned as Sophomores in 1916. We had acquired an enormous amount of poise and confidence. Marvin Schlegel was elected President Ina Mae Mausolf, Vice-President, Eva Jean Schlegel, Secretary-Treasurer, Eldon Matal, Student Council representative and Miss Edith Miller, our sponsor. One class activity of note took place October'l5 at Great Bend with all members present for a skating party. Elman Schlegel, Marvin Schlegel, Eldon Matal and Jimmy Moore were members of the undefeated anduntied football team. The massive intellectrs of the class were completely engaged inf scholastic pursuits. As Juniors, 24. classmates met on a common level. Marvin Schlegel was re- elected as President. Le Roy Dietz was elected Vice-President, Jean Tammen, Secretary-Treasurer, Eldon Matal, Student Council representative, Nrs. Dorothy Biggs and Mrs. Marjorie Hartman, class sponsors. The Junior Class play Mumbo- Jumbo was presented November 12, which broke alll previous ticket sales except one. Again, we were thrilled by the football championship of which Marvin Schlegel and Eldon Matal were co-captains. Dolores Mausolf played a part in the one-act play Nobody Home . The climax of this year was vested in the Junior- Senior banquet on April 26 a royal entertainment for the class of 1947 which conceded by all to have been a success. Back againqin 1947-Seniors at last. Majestic in dignity, stupendous in wisdom, we fairly dazzled the Faculty and lower classmen. Everything we set our hands to forthwith became a success. The first of these was the Freshmen initiation. March 16 the Senior-Alumni benefit basketball game. Then we pub- lished the annual under a new name The Eaglen and gave a successful play en- titled Keep Moving to increase the funds for our trip. And then when all cares had departed and everyone was in the mood for enjoying himself, came the Junior-Senior banquet. All the Seniors voted thanks to the Juniors for this royal treat, and decided that these Juniors are a promising lot, in spite of former indications to the contrary. Finally the last week arrived. Then came a perfect succession of events, culminating in the grand climax-Commencement. What a mingling of emotions we experienced as we received our diplomas, rewards of years of work and play. Pride and joy of achievement, seriousness because a new era of our lives lay before us, sadness because our high school days lay forever behind us, all these in varying degrees of intensity, and perhaps joy predominating. For it cannot. fail to be a happy moment-when one attains a worthy goal. At last we , Seniors left the old School forever, but we will always re- member cur years spent there and the fine members of the Faculty. is Q 2 agf ant Ceegfamenf We, the undersigned Senior Class of 1948 of Otis Rural High School, being of sound mind and about to leave the trials and tribulations of this school life , publish and declare this our last will and testament, hereby revoking all former promises and wills made by us. The following may seem but trifling bequests but we hope they may be ac- cepted not as worthless things lavishly thrown away because we can no longer keep them, but as valuable assets to those who may receive them, and a continual re- minder of the generosity of heart displayed in our free and full bestowal. To the Faculty and School Board we bequeath appreciation for a task well done. To the incoming Freshmen, we leave some of the beams of our radiant faces so there will be some brightness in the school. To the Sophomore, Junior and Senior Classes of 1949 we bequeath our ability to learn. I, Robert Dietz, will my chauffeuring of my Model A to Markus Dietz.

New York Night Club where the famous dance band led by Elman Hot Lips Schlegel is thrilling all spectators. The golden voice of Ellen Dirks is singing the torchy songs. The program is interrupted by a bulletin just received from San Francisco stating that Bill Folkerts, Captain of the large luxury liner The Little Appel , had encountered a storm and searching planes were sent out at once. Helen Corn, a nurse , is on board the ship The scene shifts low and behold , Jean Tammen is giving lessons over the air for young women, who desire to study a secretarial course at home. A change came over Mr. Andree's spirit and felt within his heart a strong desire to see the football star at 0.R.H.S. He turns the dial and flash he finds the Notre Dame and Army football game where Eldon Cottie Matal now a Notre Dame football star has' made all touchdowns in a score 77-0. The cheerleader for Notre Da.me is Shirley Reimer, who still has all her vim and vigor. A turn of the dial brings Delta Marie Brack, a famous movie star playing the lead in School Day Sweethearts .

Ina Mae guesses correct answer the to Heizer and retire. in Rush county. Suddenly a calm and tranquil scene presents itself. A dark figure approach- ing whom with joy in heart is recognized to be Alvin Schettler doing mission work in China. Dialing the radio once more and here appears a large room deco- rated in beautiful shades, around it are hanging marvelous creations in geor- gette gowns trimmed grotesquely in bright colors. Amidst this grandeur is Dolores Mausolf, the leading modiste of New York. All the elite of the world come to patronize her. V Mr. Andree still dialing the radio and gazing for scones but could see no more, turns to Mrs. Andree listening attentively to what she was saying.

The O. R. H.

The sound of voices raised in UDawnn, and nSouls of the Righteousn, could be heard throughout the building when the group met with their director Mrs. Martin Hemken.

Under the direction of Paul H. Andree, ap- proximately 29 novice musicians and twirlers make up the beginners band. Struggling to learn to play a clarinet, trumpet, trombone, and flute in a few short months, wondering what augmented and diminished sevenths could possi- bly beg taking a final test for promotion, besides going to endless rehearsals-- these are just a few of the trials of a music student.

' 1 . r BAND AT STATE FAIR Otis can well be proud of its excellent band. Probably no other group in school works any harder or longer hours. The band this year performed some outstanding marching formations under the direction of Paul H. Andree, Principal and band director. The band is gaining a reputation for playing only the best of music which will mean much to the cultural develop ent of the students, and the com unity. The band makes an annual trip to the State Fair at Hutchinson, to the district and league festivals at Hays and La Crosse where they received high ratings. QL Qld! The Otis High Pepsters are the generating force that motivate the enthusiasm, pep, and excitement at all sport activities. This group consists of all the girls enrolled in school.

Sixteen wins-Why it'11 go to their head But Eagles are stubborn as proved by the score 0 QUEEN CROW milhm UEEN Leona Kaiser ATTENDANTS Norma Jean Schlegel Lois Jean Appel And this season ended with win twentyhfour. 3 xg .Co-Captain E xi? ? Reserve - Co-Captain AGLES-U 'T IIED The remaining members of the Senior Class would like to pay final tribute to the seven graduating Seniors who have been on an undefeated football team for the past three years. Marvin Schlegel--a quarterback that could run, pass, kick, and call signals with the best of them. Otis High is going to miss you Marvin K. and finding someone to take your place will be difficult. Bill Folkerts-- Big Gus the utility man. Backfield, line- Gus didn't care, he'd play any place and there are a few ends in some of our neighboring towns that still think an Atomic bomb was dropped on the playing field when, in reality, it was only Gus administering one of his usual blocks. Elman Schlegel- Old VSparky 'Mplaying his usual steller game week after week and always good for some laughs when the going was rough. Swollen lip-smashed nose--toe nail torn off-all in a days work to Spark. One of the fastest men on the team and one that will be greatly missed in the future. Eldon Matal-One of the greatest football players in the history of Otis. A ten second man and I have yet to see a better broken field runner. Cotty scored 371. points in 3 years of competition and years from now Otis football fans will still be thrilling to some of those 90 yard touchdown jaunts. Paul Kreutzer-A fast elusive back that joined the team in his Senior year and played some great football for the Eagles this year: Sa.nka's snozzle took asterrific beating the last few games but always came back for more. Wish you had a couple more years of high school, Paul, but all good things must come to an end. Jim Moore--Any one that has watched and listened to Jim make a tackle A will never forget him. I say listened because you didn't have to he watching to know when Jim made connections. The light poles shook, the ground trembled and a crash that could be heard in three counties echoed out over the country side. An excellent center and a superior line backer that leaves a pair of shoes that will really be hard to fill. Gene Dunbar--Gene has been troubled by -injuries the last two seasons but he recovered in time to play some good football for the Eagles this year. Deadeye is not 6' 2 tall nor does he weigh 2lO pounds but he has lots of drive when he gets his hands on that pigskin and is hard to stop. In a final farewell to seven fine lads we want you to know that each and every one of you will be sorely missed. You have helped to give,Otis the finest football record it has ever had and the people of this community' are grateful. 64084 Back Row: Mike Biggs, Coach Duaine Folkerts Gottfried Kolb Lowell Sohm Kenneth Satterfleld Paul H.

OTIS NO SOX DT SPRING TRAINING After a week of practice in the sunny south land Csouth part of Otis, the Otis No Sox are beginning to get the kinks worked out and are taking on the appearance of a fair ball team. A team composed almost entirely of players from last years team could be fielded and there are a number of sharp looking roolcles that could easily win a starting position. . The weather has not been too cooperative and White Horse Field, where the Sox will play their games, is in shambles due to last winter ice storm. It's hard to predict what a basebdl team will do in the future' but the boys look good, for this early in the season and should win their share of games.
