Ottawa Township High School - Senior Yearbook (Ottawa, IL)

Twenty years from now, when the gray hair is starting to appear and you find that you can't lose those extra ten pounds that have landed around your middle, an old high school chum will call Long Dis- tance - and it'll cost him S25 to laugh with you over the losing foot- ball season - or the test you tried to cheat on and got caught. We don't mean to get too mushy on you right here, but someone once told us that to have a friend you have to be a friend, and we consider that pretty good advice. Maybe you will, too. But, whatever, your friends are what you can't get through the day without -- and we celebrate them.

Seniors Lynn Schenk, Traci VanLaarhoven, Dawn Greer, Lisa Meyers, Robin Chapman, and Mike Bacon wait eagerly for more hotdogs after the hayride at the choir's fall picnic.

Celebrate Friends Friends. What in the world would you do without them. They were there when your deadline needed to be typed - and when your boy- friend told you to find another date to the Prom. Where you find your friends prob- ably says a lot about who you are. Do you find them sitting in the pas- sageway at every possible opportu- nity? Are they the people who l N W, .f 1 M 3535 r Si , is t. . iii ?fs.g l 1 Top. Audra Henkins and Kim Bartlett make sure the coast is clear while sneaking on the 500 floor during lunch. Above.

Maybe you tend to lean toward the smartest kid in the class? What- ever your reasons are, and we won't pry, they make your day - and sometimes your evening - and we imagine they even are around on the weekends. Friends will probably last you a lifetime - if you are good to them. g While JoEllyn Caffee and Julie LeBeau attempt to complete a composition assignment, classmate Jack- ie Gray reminisces about old times.

Miss Grace Reichert helps Dawn Hall as she com- pletes her typing assignment on the computer. l4flntroduction Leadership. At one time or other, you have all been leaders. No? Well, we think so. What about the class discussion when you knew all the answers? Didn't you lead it? What about the time you found yourself first out of the door for a tornado drill - the whole class was following you. Then there was the time you led the P.E. attack with two hits? See, we knew you'd see it our way. Oh, sure. We realize that there are obvious leaders - class offi- cers, team captains, editors, and well, even teachers. And we also realize that we couldn't have a good, exciting, smooth schol year without those people. They are as necessary to a great school as rain Qwhich we didn't have enough of this vearj is to crops. We just want you to understand that you are a leader too in your own way, whether you want to be or not, no matter how seriously or often you take that role. And we celebrate the leadership in you.
