Dedication At the remarkable seventy-fifth an- niversary of the Ottawa Township High School last June, more than 1,700 alumni gathered to renew old friendships and to celebrate the birth- day of a great service institution - your high school. Perhaps no event in recent Ottawa history was so completely successful. Graduates returned from homes thou- sands of miles away to attend class reunions. Everyone seemed to have a wonderful time. l sz Out of the Diamond Jubilee came a desire to commemorate the happy days of goodfellowship. The organ shown above is a lasting memorial to the Ottawa Township High School Diamond Jubilee. It was purchased by the Alumni Association and paid for by those whose names will soon appear on a permanent scroll in the main hall. To the loyal friends and alumni who made this gift possible and who have contributed so much time and effort to the betterment of our school, we dedicate this book, the Senior'l of 1954.
