Y E E 2 2 K E K N 3 E I. 'The 1961 Senior is dedicated to Mr. Gilbert Love, retired varsity basketball coach. For the last 17 years he has brought fame to OTHS through his coaching. Under his leadership Pirate teams Won 302 games and lost only 134. They Won 10 re- gionals and eight sectionals. ln the last five years the Pirates competed in the Sweet Sixteen, cap- turing the third-place trophy in the 1957 state finals. His best victory percentage, a 31-2 mark, came in 1959-60. Many Pirate cagers have gone on to college and then into coaching - thus indicating Mr. Love's coaching ability. Mr. Love remains as athletic di- rector, but who will ever forget the many thrills provided by Coach Love and all his Fighting Pirates .

First they dug, erected a steel framework, and laid bricksg then they poured cement and wired for electricity.

It will be a bridge of friendship that will span time and separ- ation and hold forever the memories of discovering the future to- getherg brick, steel, limestone - will hold forever these memories. , ,,, ' ,Qi 5:5 551 11. 5 ' 53 f wi 355 ' Ein H L, - v W5 F215 1 ff ' - wi asf ,,.,,.,,,,.. ,wwzw x Administrators, Board liorrnolato, lnplornont Uttawas Educational Policy MR.

Back row: Mary Meckenstock. treasurer: Mike Alikonis, vice-president. SENIOR attendant Diane Johnson, escorted by Cadet Mai. Bob Mossber- ger, passes under arch formed by crossed sabers of cadets Larry Johnson and Chips Anderson. Thinking back over our high school days, we best remember our senior year. We elected Randy Lewis, presidentg Mike Alikonis, vice-presidentg Mary Lou Stevenson, secretary: and Mary Meckenstock, treas- urer. As class odlcers they aided Mr. Vernon Adams, class adviser. Next we recall Homecoming - our queen, Mary Lou Wilson, and our senior attendant, Diane Johnson. We sponsored Stan Kenton and his orchestra for a night of wonderful music and dancing. To finance class activities, We sold popcorn during home basket- ball games. Spring arrived, and we gathered for a rollicking time at senior Fun Night. Then we dressed up in colorful dresses and suits to come to our Senior Day breakfast. A review of our high school days was also presented in the Senior Assembly. June 9 came - marking the date of graduation and the traditional Dawn Dance at the Ottawa Boat Club. L 2 GAYLE AN , I Inj.
