Eddie's popularity can easily be deduced when one knows he swung the gavel three years, and was Vice President of his Freshman class. Eddie is a commercial student and a member of the Senior Dramatic Club, of which he is Vice President. Those who know him casuallv think of him as quiet and meek, but those who know him better find him sociable and always in a humorous frame of mind. Eddie managed the baseball squad this year. LA ERA COLLINS Secretary Thrice a class officer is only one of the many ways of proving this young lady's popularity. Laura also holds honors In scholastic ability, too. She has been an active member of the hockey and basketball squads, managing both sports during her senior year. Her in- terest in dramatics was shown by her being in the four past Christmas plays.

LEONARD SAVITCH Vice President A good sport, clean cut. smiling lad is Leonard Savltch. known throughout the school as the buoyant spirit of the Senior Class. To us he typifies a swell guy . His classmates have found in him a tru - pal full of enthusiasm and pep. Len took the acad- emic course. and his teachers have never found him scowling yet. Leonard is fond of sports and during his stay here managed the soccer and basket- ball squads and captained the champion O. H. S. Junior Varsity Basketball Squad. Len heads the Senior Dramatic Club, was past treasurer of the same organization, and is Vice President of the Athletic Asso- ciation. In our estimation. Len is the most likely to succeed of the Senior class. HAYDEN WOOI)WORTH Treasurer For the past four years this youth has been treasurer of the Class of 36. Hayd »r “Goldie Woodworth, as known to all, is a typical athlete. For four years he has been breaking records as a member of the track team: he captained the s ccer squad this year, of which he was a member for the second time: he made the basketball and baseball squads also.

-4— KERNEL + + FOURTH YEAR CLASS HISTORY This class, composed of seventy-two members, is known as the Class of ’36. Away back in 11124 a small group of boys and girls left their peram- bulators behind them, but brought their mothers along, when they went to school the first day. Out of the number beginning their education that day, sixteen have gone through the grades, and reached the top, welcoming new students, and dropping others along the way. The largest number of new students arrived in 1032, when the present Senior Class were Freshmen. The class then numbered 110 students. We staged our first big event, the Freshman Party. Soon we were no longer greenies, we became Sophomores! We carried on the idea of giving a Sophomore Hop. initiated by the Class of ’$5, which was another big affair in our youthful eyes. The class rings and pins were selected that year. We became older—and likewise became Juniors. Early in the fall we received our coveted class rings and pins. It was then that we realized how trivial other dances were to the Junior Prom, and we took great pains with our Prom. Then—'Seniors, more new members joined our class, several left— but we totalled seventy-two. Our class was speedily organized. We resided in the Main Room, with Mr. Leib for our home room teacher. At class meetings our colors, motto and flower were decided upon. An invitation committee was appointed and several commencement invitations were put before the class for selections. Name cards were also selected. The class not only had members who ranked high scholastically, but many who engaged in extra-curricular events. Soccer, hockey, basketball, baseball and track beckoned many Seniors. Music interested others, the orchestra and choral society being the organizations they joined. We were proud of our champion debating team, and a Senior captained the negative squad. The Seniors sponsored the Library Dance, which was an innovation their last year at 0. II. S. Several members interested in journalism helped publish the school paper. Then there were those interested in dramatics and participated in “Junior Mask and Wig” plays; then the Senior play came along. The Senior Play Committee decided on “Daddy Long Legs” for their class play. Tryouts were held in February and the teachers selected the cast after tryouts were held. For the first time in the history of the school students who were taking their last year here were permitted to have a part in the play. The play was given at the Met Theatre, April 6 and 7. May 4. a and 6. many of the members took the trip to Washington. This annual trip was made by train. Mr. Burt and Miss Reeves accompanied us. The Seniors were then invited to attend the farewell party given by the Juniors, the Junior Prom. That night will ever be remembered as a pleasant and enjoyable one. Then comes Baccalaureate, Class Night and Commencement. All of the class have had days of work and days of fun; but all have worked with an eye toward the future, some preparing to enter business, and others to go on to college. There is no doubt that the class will go far on the road to success, for their motto is, “Live to learn, and learn to live.” —i— —4 — —4t— »+ —4.— 19 3 6 —4 — —4 — -4— -4— -4— -4—
