This Happened in 1954 It was the school year, 1953-1954. Headlining the national scene was the first revelation of a successful series of hydrogen bomb explosions. Dwight D. Eisenhower, hero-general of World War H, occupied the White House in a turbulent era. At home, a Wisconsin senator named Joseph M cCarthy was carrying on a personal fight with officers of the U. S. Army. Abroad, the stale- mated Korean War was enjoying an uneasy peace while anxious eyes were focused on Indo- China, where Vietminh Communist forces encir- cled the beleaguered French. Locally, Ottawans were preparing to vote on an issue designed to pave the way for a badly needed new elementary school. The city was com- pleting its one-hundred-first birthday as an in- corporated town, and OHS, after a gigantic sev- enty-fifth birthday celebration in 1953, was marching along in the xspirit of 9762. 10

ANT LEARNED ELLEN PA C' I . 1 ROBERT BRY N President Vice President Secretary Tre They Worked Their Way Through Keeping the voracious appetites of basketball rooters satisfied, and providing a salty substance to enhance sales of junior pop peddlers, seniors sold 31,150 worth of popcorn at nine home games and at the Gene Autry show. Shivering football fans found the senior coffee stand a source of comfort last fall, when the fourth-year s a l e s m e n dispensed almost 3600 worth of java and taffy apples. Stanley White guided the destinies of the Class of 954. An autmun picnic at 1llini Park was an early highlight of the school year. A potluck, break- fast and all-senior assembly, held May 13, cli- maxed the upperclassmen's year - that is, until June 11. On that date, the Class of '54 marched down the aisle, heard a few well-chosen words of advice and faded forever from the scholastic scene at OHS. 11
