467 ELLO folks! Here we are again, the Class of '47 or the Pea-green Freshmen. The first item of interest in our freshman year was that plague which attaches itself to every group of students entering high-school, namely, Fresh- man lnitiationf' Everywhere sweet, innocent, freshmen bowed before their high and illiteratefpardon me--illustrious, seniors! The final assembly of this hectic week featured David Geller doing a marvelous Conga! tln costume, tooll Life ran smoothly 'til Christmas except for our Latin and Algebra worries which we will gladly bequeath to any class that wants them! After Christmas vacation, the basketball season was in full swing with Connie Spaulding, Dan Thompson, Tucker lohnson, and Bill Kuhns on the basketball I. V's. In the spring we had freshmen participating in the Band Concert which was a grand succes. The Muical tvocall Concerts, Senior Play and Prom filled our time 'til Iune. Of course, there were our favorite of favorites, exams, before the crowning event of the yearAGraduation. At this time the freshmen became sophomores and watched the stately seniors, while they looked forward to the day when they, too, would be gradu- ating from O. F. A. as the Class of '47.

Sena EALIZING that a progressive post-war World lies before us, we, the pupils of the Eighth Grade of l943-l944, have begun to realize the im- portance of progress in our studies. Unlike the static lndian who taught his children the same methods of his own generation, in our school which stands where the Indian held his sway, we have had the privilege of learning modern applications of old principles. History has been helpful for we have studied the progress made in science and government. While interpreting poetry and prose selections in English, we have gained appreciation of many of our American ideals. ln mathematics, we have been given the fundamentals which we need no matter what our life work may be. Our other subjects have taught us to enjoy life, to improve our- selves physically and to gain knowledge of our global world. Thus we have come to the close of another school year, feeling sure that our progress has proved that we are becoming true Americans.
