Now in Armed Forcesj SENIOR PRESIDENT'S LETTER Dear Classmates, It is with deep pride that I write to you concerning the past four years spent in the O. F. A. These years have been packed with fun and study, and with many sports and activities which have kept our minds and bodies strong and alert. Whenever asked to assist or cooperate in any class activity, you were always eager to respond. This is why our class, one of the best to ever graduate from the O. F. A., has been so successful. This year more than ever we have had to look out for ourselves. We are going into a bitter world, a world where most of our young men and women must support the war effort, either in the armed forces, or in industry. I am sure that the class of '43 is capable of doing its part. I am proud to have been elected president of such a class' and thank you wholeheartedly. May God bless each of you in the tasks ahead. li, r. I Sincerely yours, N , JOSEPH LOFTUS ,43 ,- r . 44' 20

THE JU IOR CLASS S you look on the junior Class of '43, you will wonder little how we accomplished the different things we did during the last school year. Our freshman year was just a chance to get started and our sophomore year gave us an opportunity to grow up. As a result this Junior Class has had more spirit and cooperation in doing things than any other class in our school's history. For president we chose Robert Espe, who has held this ofhce for three years. Our class also had the honor of having one of its members, May Donnelly, as Student Council President. The main event in every junior year is its Prom. But do you think we waited for that? We gave two class dances previous to thc Prom to provide funds and also to give the student body something to do evenings when gas and tires fyes, girls, even fellowsl are rationed. These dances brought a total profit of over eighty dollars. Anthony Stella as Prom Chairman and a very helpful and cooperative Com- mittee made possible this dance, which was held May fourteenth at the Elks, Auditorium. The music was provided by Spiegle Willcox and his ten piece band with an additional girl vocalist. Sport activities? Yes, we were tops in that, too!! The varsity basketball team was made up almost entirely of junior men. Among the leading players were l'Stonewall Jackson, Ant,' Stella, Bob Espe, and l'Casanova Fletcher. But let's not forget the girls! Virgie Maen Baier, Captain, and Loretta Pudge Jerome, and Dot Jamesson were the outstanding girls of the class. If you think this class went places this year, wait until you see the class of '4-4. With the spirit and enthusiasm displayed this year, we can't help but be the best class to graduate from high school.
