545' OUR short years ago, the Class of '48 began its Freshman year in room 207 with Miss Mannix as its advisor. After vainly trying to crowd fifty-nlne of us into a room with a seating capacity of forty, it was decided to send the excess number to the library where they would be under the super- vision of Miss Cloos, the librarian. We were classified as 9A and 9B. Each homeroom elected its own class officers and they were as follows: 9A-President ----- Paul Mullan 9B-President ----------- Richard Steele Vice-President-John Maleskl Vice-President ------ T eresa Kaiser Secretary ------ Edwin Smith Secretary-Treasurer-Norma Swick Treasurer ----- Ruth VanVleet Student Council Representatives--Dorothy Miller Kathleen Stahl Ross Laughlin Arthur Lynch On March 16th we .meld a vlc dance in the school auditorium in order to raise money for the year- book. It was a financial success. We closed our Freshman year with a Junior High Commencement which was a big event in our lives. The honors were taken as follows: Valedlctorlan-Ruth VanVleet, Salutatorian-Edwin Smith, Third Honor-June Russell, Fourth Honor-Joan Murphy. In September, 1945 we entered Senior High as forty-eight mild, meek Sophomores. We elected the following class officers: President ----------- William Schramm Vice-President ----- Norma Swick Secretary-Treasurer-Richard Roach Betty Putnam and Howard Lincoln were chosen to be the Sophomore representatives to the Student Council. In January the Sophomore class was very patriotic and did its part in the overseas clothing drive held at the school. We started our Junior year on September 3, 1946 with fifty-nine members. Our class officers were: President ---------- John Maleski Vice-President ------ Teresa Kaiser Secretary-Treasurer-June Russell Olga Sabol and Herbert McCutcheon were our representatives to the Student Council. November 4, 1946 was a very happy day for the Juniors--we ordered our Senior rings. March 11, 1947 was even a happier day for us, for on that day we received our rings. Our activities of the year began with a Halloween Party. The Community Recreation Committee helped us to make it a community affair and hired Bob Llnton's orchestra for the occasion. While dancing was going on ln the auditorium, various games were played in different rooms. Our Junior Prom was held on March 14, 1947 and was a success. Then in Junewe sponsored the Senior Ball. 16

E ARRIVED l I We are now the Senior Class of O.C.S.--thirty-nine strong. To guide us through this our- last year of high school, we chose the following class officers: President ----------- Edwin Smith Vice-President ----- -June Russell Secretary ----------- Olga Sabol Treasurer ---------- Paul Munson To be our representatives to the Student Council we chose Muriel Gahn and Ted Bingaman. We started the year off with a bang by having a magazine selling campaign which netted us quite a profit--3300 to be exact. On October 14, 1947, we ordered our personal cards which arrived Nov. 13, 1947. We decided, to sponsor another Halloween Party, and with the aid of the Community 'Recreation Committee, we again made it a success. The big event of the year, our Senior Play, occurred on the nights of Nov. 19 and 21 and was the talk of the town for some time after. Of course the talk was good for it was a huge success. Early in December we had our Senior pictures taken and everybody came to school dressed in his Sunday best. We received our pictures before Christmas vacation so that we could use them as Christmas gifts. Class Night, the Senior Ball, Baccalaureate and Commencement are the crowning events of the Senior year. While we are looking forward to attaining our chosen post-graduate careers, we will never forget these years spent at Ovid Central. OH! THOSE SENIORS C pgpl 17
