MIUC WEE1WJ'ifJ5lE9WHl D5i 'lEl E1 Class Historu We, as seniors have had four years of High School life, and those four years have been lived in deeds, thoughts and in feelings, which either make our history worth remembering or allow it soon to be forgotten. Our class began as Freshmen in the September of 1922 with an enrollment of thirty-two members. At the beginning of the second term our enrollment was 'increased to fifty-one. Our class officers for this year were President-DelVlotte Strickland: Vice-Presi- dent-Arlene Jones: Secretary-Treasurer-Harry Keneipp. A delightful event of this year was the Hallowe'en Party which was held in the gymnasium. The party was well attended and enjoyed by all present. After enjoying a splendid vacation we were again united as Sophomores. During this year our class was represented in Orchestra and in both boys and girls basketball. The most outstanding event of this year was our Hayride and Weiner Roast which was held in Thompsons' woods, west of town. The third year, with the largest Iunior Class on record, we made our debut into the financial world. Our task was to raise funds for the Junior Reception. This was very successfully clone, by means of presentation of a class play, the first to be presented by. a Junior Class in O. H. S. Our officers this year were Harry Keneipp, Presidentg DelVlotte Strickland, Vice- Presidentg and Earl Dragoo, Secretary-Treasurer. At the close of this year we were all looking forward to next: fall when we might rightfully regard ourselves as sophisticated Seniors. At the Hrst of the year as we were laboring under the delusion that we were sane and fairly competent, we, after much consideration, decided to publish an Annual. The Senior Class play was well presented and was a great success. The second semester was passing smoothly along when soon we were caught in the whirl of Com- mencement week with all its gaietyg and now-we the Class of '26 are Alumni of Owens- ville High School: and may each and every one of us go out into the world with the' words of Robert Herrick as his motto: Attempt the end and never stand to doubt, -Nothing is so hard but search twill jind it out.
