This grade school accommodated grades 1-8 and was housed in two separate buildings. After completing the eighth grade, a student had to choose between a high school in Bradford or Eldred. Many simply dropped out. To solve their problem, school board members began to look at many schools. They decided to model the school after one in Randolph, New York. This was when Raymond Freburg, the architect, came into the picture. With the plans finished, actual construction of the Otto Township High School began. The original part of the building was constructed in 1932-33 by Yenther Brothers Contractors. Due to the wealth of the nearby oil fields, the auditorium was graced with chandeliers and red velvet seats. Because the gymnasium was not yet completed,! basketball games wereplayM the Mage. Along with the new addition erected in 1935, the gymnasium was completed. Mary Wasson Curtis and her sister, Margaret Ann, were given the honor of setting the cornerstone on July 1, 1935, because their father, C. W. Wasson, was vice president of the school board. Mary Wasson now resides in her girlhood home on Kansas Branch. pic ICU , m Although the school has gone through many physical alterations, the good times and special memories that all O-E students have shared over the years will never change. — Tracie Aldrich and Marsha Ducey

GLOVER EDITOR-IN-CHIEF CLASS OF ’88 The members of the Class of '88 express their appreciation, thanks, and love to their class advisor, Mrs. Mary Beth Glover. In addition to being our class advisor, Mrs. Glover was a special friend during our junior and senior years. Her enthusiasm was contagious, and her leadership brought out the best in every one of us. She will always be a friend long after our graduation when each member of our class has gone in his own direction. Through all her time, effort, and support, we were able to break the school record for magazine sales, have an outstanding prom, and then go on to set another new school record in our Christmas sale. Mrs. Glover, you are the greatest! Thank you for everything!! 2
