Reminders of OHS As we get older and think back to our high school days, we will all think of something or someone different. but we have chosen to highlight reminders everyone will be able to relate to. One of the most memorable things is the art collection which decorated the library and the hallways. Donated by the Wally Findlay Galleries in Chicago, the paintings, figurines, and sketches added class' to the buildings. Places we hungout — such as the Passageway. 800 floor, and band balcony — were important places we are bound to remember because of the friendships that were formed there and all the time spent there. Other fond memories may be of special friends, clubs and teams you were a member of. dances and activities you took part in. What ever reminds you of Ottawa High School, we hope we have captured some of these and that you will treasure them for the rest of your life. V- t jeh year during Spirit Week, athletic team participate in the Homecoming Parade. Riding on a truck, the girls swim team joins in the fun. 8 lntroduction

Imagine yourself walking down the hallway without a person around and the only sound you hear is the sound of your own footsteps. Now come back to reality. As you walked down the hall everyday, you were in a crowd. At the time it may have seemed like a huge mob you could have done without, but without thoses people how would you have met that great looking guy you ran into? Or how could you have gotten help with your homework? Can you imagine what the sporting events would have been like if no one had shown up? And how about the dances — they would not have been fun if you and your date were the only ones there. We chose to highlight crowds because at OHS they had their own special sights and sounds and our days would not have been very exciting without them. 10 lntroduciiOfl
