Coun- cil Rep. Little did we ever realize when wc entered our freshman year in 1946 that someday we would be the superior seniors of O. F. A. and leave our Alma Mater for good. We found ourselves looking up to all the mighty seniors and thinking how older and wiser they must be. Then we found ourselves seniors and we were amazed at the little change we felt within ourselves. WVe hardly feel mighty or superior but rather we feel a little sad when we realize our school days are at an end. Looking back we see the mistakes we have made and the achievements we have accom- plished. We have a right to be a little proud of our class. We were the first in a lot of things in a lot of ways. In our sophomore year we were one of the few sophomore classes to sponsor a dance. That meant we were one of the few sopho- more classes to have money in the treasury. In our junior year we showed a great deal of enthusiasm and energy. The money in our treasury mounted from the dozens of hot dogs we sold at football games and the activities we sponsored. In our last year we collected a lot more of that Hgreen stuff by working hard and putting on a fine senior play. To the school we left an electric scoreboard to be used by the teams of O. F. A. to chalk up future victories. Yes, every fellow and girl in the class is proud of our accomplishments. These accomplishments were made possible only by the training we have received here at O. F. A. We entered high school inexpe- rienced children and we are emerging young men and women ready to face the world. If it were possible for a class to leave a will, ours would be something like this: to all future classes we will all the joy and laughter that has been ours, all the spirit and unity we have striven to achieve, and all the wonderful luck and patient guidance that has been ours.
