Olive Camile Hancock and accompanist. Janice Yahn fame and honor to the school are just a few of the many reasons why we believe the so- cieties of 0. 11. S. are indispensable. The long hours of painting flats, rehearsing lines, and preparing costumes for dramatic productions have not been vain undertakings for those in- terested in producing and presenting plays such as have been given on our stage. It is this desire for accomplishment that has brought about the increase in recognition of the actors and actresses within the senior class. Also this same recognition has been sought anti gained by the seniors participating in the numerous other extra-curricular activities of the school. The tireless efforts of the band, the editors and businessmen of the Argus An- nual and the Argus News, and the participants in speech and commercial clubs are only several examples of the praiseworthy endeavors of O. I I. S. students. Another of the primary undertakings of our school is in the field of sports. Within the realm of such sports as football, basket- ball, track, and swimming are found the ideals desired by most boys and girls. The out- standing records of our 0. I I. S. players have proved the ability and determination of our athletes to place Ottumwa High School “on the map . With the successful leadership of our cheerleaders in uniting the sch x l body with a spirit of victory the realm of sjx rts con- tinues to grow. Ottumwa High will always be our school. And we’ll ever love her true. We’ll sing of her. We’ll yell for her. And, my, what we won’t do! We’ll put her on the map. And see that she stands pat. For we love her true, we do. CHORUS North-side, South-side, and all around the town We’ll all join in together to root for O. II. S. In football, basketball, and every kind of sport. We’ll cheer them on to victory For dear old 0. H. S. Rah! Rah! Rah for Ottumwa.

TO REMEMBER As the last chapter in our high school book of knowledge is drawn to a close, we fondly look back upon the features which have made that book so treasured and remembered. In our first chapter at 0. H. S., the sur- roundings were awe inspiring, and it was only with the determined and co-operative efforts of the faculty and students that these sur- roundings soon were marked with happiness for us, the sophomores of O. I I. S. This continuity of happiness and growth of knowledge has greatly developed during our junior and senior years, and now we realize and understand what a great part our teachers and fellow classmates have played toward our success as graduates of the 1947 class. It is only with guiding and true friends that under- takings can be accomplished. During our three years at Ottumwa High School much has been accomplished not only in curricular fields but also in the extra-curricu- lar realm. Interest in hobbies, and creative work as well as a determined desire to bring
