As spring approached, work was really begun on the banquet decorations. The theme, Let's Pretend , had been chosen earlier in the year, and each committee chairman had been making his or her plans to carry out the theme. Many class members spent their time painting programs, place cards, and favors which represented various fairy tales. A huge book was the nucleus of the stage decorations. The painting of the pages of the book was done by Paul Elben and Miss Billie Marie Harding, former graduate of O.H.S. The background of fairy castles, which had been designed and painted by Miss Esther Dunn, was interspersed with evergreen trees. Clouds of soap bubbles helped to transform the stage into a fairyland. To end our activities the junior class picnic was held at Gardner Lake. With seniors of '46 being graduated a few weeks later, the realization was brought home to us that we would soon be seniors, and the life of O.H.S. was to be under our leadership for the coming year. Seniors at last! Confident, sure of ourselves, we sauntered through the halls with all the arrogance that seniors should have. We took a newer, greater interest in I6 ...gg ...

A TYPICAL SCENE IN AMERICAN HISTORY CLASS-Miss Esther Dunn is discussing the control of big business in the United States with the first hour American History class. i '9- 7 music organizations, dramatics and sports. As sophomores we felt we were advancing rapidly into the world. This year was spent largely in preparing for the duties to fall on us as juniors the coming year. Chosen to officiate over the activities of this sophomore class were: Lowell New, president, Lloyd Wolgast, vice president, Dor- othy Abbott, secretaryg and Bonnie Birt, treasurer. Class sponsor was Mrs. G. R. McCormick. Before we realized it, the task of raising funds sufficient to sponsor the annual Junior-Senior banquet was upon us. The most interesting and profitable business venture of the year was the junior class play, Girl Shy , which brought forth much hidden talent. The headaches of raising enough money and putting all of our actiyities over this year fell to Miss Marjorie Lancaster and C. W. Parent, ourijunior sponsors. To raise additional funds, this group sponsored a Pat and Patsy party near St. Patrick's day. Our class leaders were: Bill Richardson, president, Darlene Cox, vice pres- identg Eldon Rader, secretaryg and Kenneth Hoffman, treas- urer. tContinued on page 161 I5

The Snow White and the Raggedy Ann tables can be seen in this picture. I activities. Football, basketball, the senior class play and many other activities all held our interest. Don Waymire was our class president3 David Blair was vice presidentg Betty Lou Klein, secretary3 and Lloyd Wolgast, treasurer. Miss Betty Babb and J. E. Harclerode were class sponsors. But our last and best year passed all too quickly. Being guests at the Junior-Senior banquet, taking the final tests and going on the class picnic came in rapid succession. We checked credits, got our caps and gowns, and then the last week arrived with Baccalaureate and Commencement! With that grand, glorious, and somewhat sad feeling we took our diplomas, sang Hail Alma Mater for the last time as a class, and left dear O.H.S. never to return as students again. So now we close the door on high school. We'll never race through the halls, shouting and laughing, never slam locker doors, never gripe about teachers and homework. Maybe ten years from now we'11 look back and think it wasn't so bad after all. To future students of O.H.S. we leave our wishes that they enjoy their school careers as much as we have. 17
