'af Uaaf' For many years each graduating class chose its own class ring. Selected from many different styles, the ring becameabond among classmates--not alumni. In September 1953, the class of 1955 expressed not only its desire but the need of the school for a standard ring. After several months of hard work, Junior, Sophomore, Freshman class officers- chose a standard ring for Oxford Area High School. With the final approval of the school board the seal and ring were adopted as the standard insignia for every graduate of Oxford Area High School. Through the years our contribution to our schoolwill be worn and remembered by all. Let us wear the ring with pride in remembrance of our classmates and our Alma Mater. 2 I ! We, the Class of '55, are proud that we have graduated from Oxford Area High School. During our twelve years here, we have known many happy times. At graduation a great change will come into our lives. Suddenly, we shall no longer have the faculty to inspire us and share our responsibilities. As we look back on our school days, we shall always remember that we have been taught the incentive to reach higher goals. Our decisionsfthen, must be our own. However, we shall have as a guide the truths we have learned during ox r Q ears in school. 3 1 Ya? if ig.

Education cannot be 'given' it must be achieved. With your permis- sion, I should like to do some Stargazing that I assure will not result in things, ab- stract, chimerical or fan- tastic. June 10, 1955, will be a great day for you-- graduation. This is a note- worthyachievement. Com- mencement will remainal- ways inmemoryas one of the great occasions of your life. Everyone--parents, relatives, friends, neigh- bors, teachers--will re- joice with you when you receive your diploma. I commend you for 5 using the educational op- , portunities provided in the s Oxford Area Schoolbythe w 0 community and the great State of Pennsylvania, Life, as well as ed- - ucation, is a conquest. Little willbe given you. The road to worthwhile living is uphill and unpaved. Undaunted, the strong and the brave keep plugging day by day. I know you will be in that number. You will do well to consider the many opportunities available for em- ployment in this area, one of the best you could find in which to live. These hills and valleys, nestled between and touching the Big Elk and the Octoraro Creeks, will nurture you and provide all the elements for successful living, healthfulcli- mate, rich farm land, good churches, schools, roads and sanitation, absence of floods, droughts and devastating winds, sound businesses and industries, and fine people. In conclusion, Iextend to you that which it has been my privilege to extend to many other fine young men and women of this community--my personal best wishes for much success in the things you do that are worthwhile and a contri- bution to a better world for us all. gi 1l 4 za mmm, . ww TO THE SENIORS: Permit me to congratulate you upon the completion of your high school work.

CLASS COLORS CLASS FLOWER Ivory and Gold Yellow Rose Pam Emerging from these honored halls We stand before life's gate, For some, the honor bells will chime Let's hurry, the future will not wait. Whatever changes time will bring As the days and years go by, Still our hearts to you will cling With the memory of Oxford High. In future years we may forget The cheers we led, the games we played, But in time to come we'll remember Most of all the friends we made. The road we'll travel lies ahead, No end is in our view, We go alone, we must not be led, No other way will do. Farewell to the school we love so wellg To our teachers inspiring, true, Who helped and guided us lest we fell, And made our path much easier, too. The gate will open, the path reveal, It may be narrow and very steep, But we alone our future seal, And all our hopes and wishes keep.

Congratulations to rhese people for their splendid work during the past year. There was a great turn out for the hockey team this year. Since the girls won five out of six games, they thought they had a wonderful season. Although the team is losing seven seniors, we are sure they will have a good team next year. The seniors of '55 want to thank Miss Stoops and Miss Hill for their splendid work with the team and also wish the best of luck to the future hockey teams of O. A. H, S. We will lose the following seniors this year: Vonnie Boyd QLEFT WINGJ, Marilyn Rubican KCENTER FOR- WARDJ, Doris Slauch CLEFT HA LFBACKJ, Gerry O'C0n1'1or QCENTER HALFBACKJ, Ediene Cope, Captain fRIGHT HALFBACKJ: Diane McClure CLEFT HALFBACKJ, Janet Shepherd QRIGHT FULLBACKD. ' fmamwzfzadcf Zfaekeq The I. V. Team made a good showing this year, only losing two games. With further practive and ex- perience, we know this team will go right to the top, We wish them the best of luck for next year and the years to come. This year the soccer team had plenty of hustle and made a good showing in all of its games. Although six lettermen are graduating, the other members are well prepared to take their places We know that next year will be an even better season for them. The seniors who will be leaving the team are: Jack Melrath, Sydney Cohen, Roger Johnson, Herbert Watson, Manifred Cooper, and Allan Hardy, 044- The Ctoss Country this year participated in seven meets and won four, The boys finished second in the county meet. This is a fine record since this was the first year for all of the boys. We were all very proud of them. John Clendenin, who had the most impressive record, was elected next year's captain, 51 'Wmactq In spite of a tough schedule, the girls fought hard and made a good showing in all their games We are sure they will make next year's varsity team another winner. ' 'Wwmtq The girls went into this year's basketball season with plenty of pep and spirit. Because of their fine teamwork, they won most of their games. Even though some of them will graduate, their positions will be capably filled by the underclassmen. Good Luck! The Seniors leaving the team are M, Rubican, Captaing S, Bruce G. O'Connor, E. Cope, and D Slauch Www Despite a rough start, both teams had a impressive season and ended in third place VARSITY JUNIOR VARSITY Won 9 Games Won IO Games Lost 7 Games Lost 5 Games 53 c .F On April 5, the Oxford baseball team played host to Quarryville for their first practice game, and won by a score of 7-5, We hope that this is a forecast of things to come and that our team will be out on top at the end of the season. COACHES with many of last year's stars back and many new prospects, this should Mr, Alexander and Mr. Hazard 54 prove to be a very successful season. f' , 0 0 O 00200 22,0 O .JO .
