To the journalism class also falls the task of selecting a theme. This year we have chosen From A to Z in Poetry as our theme with the hope that you will enjoy this annual and in the future that it will bring back many pleasant and happy memories. An enormous amount of credit is due Bob Pinney, Jim Huntsinger and Don Malone, who have graciously given their time and effort to take pictures for the annual. Headed for Eden was chosen for the senior play presented April 22 and 23. The play selected was a comedy-drama by Sidney Duvall in three acts. The plot centered around six girls and Imogene, the maid, who were rooming at Mrs. Skipworth's rooming house. Each one had a different problem, but none as serious as that of Kate Roberts, a newspaper reporter. Each girl went to the aid of Kate when her troublesome brother, Bob, got into difficulty with the police, and the rooming house became a hotbed of activity. READING THEIR PLAY IS FUN for these Seniors. Cast members are as follows: Back Row: Bill Schmitz Bob Roberts, Harold Honn, Sergeant Kelley, Jim Potts, Henry Banks, Don Lunger, Limpy , Carolee Smith Rosina Blandish, Bob Lawson, Barry Richards. Second Row: Jean Stith, Gladys Hermann, Dee Williams, Mar- cella Turner, Inez Malburg, Imogene, Theron Johnson, Ken Howard, Virginia Carter, Kate Roberts. Front Row: Dorothy Lou Welty.

Memories of the Class of '48 As sophomores gay, we came one day To good old O. H. S. Without a sigh, we said goodbye To junior high-but yes! Charles was swell, led our class well. Potts fine beyond all measure As secretary we chose Larry ,With Albert, sophomore treasurer. Quite gay were we, and fancy free We had a picnic, too, Played games galore, ate, played some more, And not a one was blue. Our junior year we hold quite dear. Betsy and Albert reigning. Dotty and Jim were full of vim. In fame our class was gaining. We hired a bus and all of us Set off for Gardner park. We ate and swam, played games and ran 'Twas really quite a lark! As juniors brave, how we did slave! We worked with fervor true. Our banquet theme was quite supreme, The Rhapsody in Blue. We gave two plays in high school days, And both were full of vim. With bits of wit, we made a hit Our audience thrilled to them. President Bob has quite a job. We're seniors now, you see. Doug and lck are the best you could And our secretary's Dee Looking trim, and full of vim We got a bus, you see. Down-hearted? Nope! We went to Swope! Who could be gayer than we? At long and last, our senior class Has gained the heights sublime. Before too long we'11 say So long To school life here-'Twas'fine!, pick BEAUTIFUL IN ITS SIMPLICITY- Rhapsody in Blue , the theme of the junior-senior banquet, created the atmosphere for this annual social event. The members of the senior class of 1947 were the guests of the juniors on Friday, May 9. -'Q1lQf? 'IvlsIJ 'I '
