THE SENIORS Early in September. with the help of Mrs. Mallory, the organization of the Senior Class of 1947 was effected. The election of such capable officers as David Geller as president, ,lohn Fuller as vice- president, Helen Knauf as secretary, and James Baker as treasurer, together with Donna Lockwood. Doris Winfield, James Grimes and Calvin Spaulding as student council representatives, assured us of achieving all the goals that we had set for ourselves. The main goal of our Senior Class this year was to graduate with the reputation of having attained the highest marks of any class that had ever graduated from O. F. A. By choosing this for our aim we felt that we would not only develop our talents to the utmost, but that we would leave a record which would stimulate the classes following us to try to rival. The first step in our campaign was to secure the cooperation of the whole class. By working intelligently and earnestly at class meetings and social functions, a spirit of ood created. Through participation in such fields as public speaki football, and senior play, each student tr' d Our h g fellowshi ng, band, orcl ' ie to make hi - ' ' ard work w ' ah d p was iestra, choir, basketball, s contribution toward the record. as rewarded when honors were received by several of us. Eugene Kemp, who a entered the Vllestinghouse Talent Search Contest, won an honorable mention on a nationwide basis. 'Third prize in a state contest on bus safety was awarded to Thomas Johnson. Among other awards were those given for excellent work in football and basketball. The presence of ex-service men in our group made us realize the wisdom of our resolution to make the most of our educational opportunities. Their membership was a constant reminder of the world problems that still awaited solution by a youth that would soon be living in the future4a future that would tolerate no alternative but solution. That is why we decided to grasp, while there was yet time, all the knowledge that we could-that when our turn came to guide the future we would be well pre- pared to set a course which would make that future bright and promising.
