Owen High School Senior Class Prophecy

As Freshman many of our 37 members were shy and bashful when we entered the Owen High School in the fall of 1945.  Upon acquainting ourselves with our new environment, we settled down to become initiated.  After this experience everyone recognized us a “legal” freshman. 

 

We soon overcame our bashfulness and sponsored a return party which gave us an opportunity to show our ability as entertainers. 

 

We started our Sophomore year with much enthusiasm.  Eight had left our group and three new students had joined making our membership 32.

 

As Juniors our responsibilities deepened.  We then have the same number although a few students had left and a few more had been added.

 

The greatest social event of the year, the Prom, was our making. The theme selected was “The Little Dutch Mill,” and Frank Samek reigned as king. 

 

This year began with 29 members.  During the year Dolores Strohkirch and Anita Schafer left us.  We put our greatest efforts into making a success of the Clover Leaf and the first volume of the Cloverbud. 

 

We have spent four happy years here in the O.H.S. taking part in many extra-curricular activities.  We regret to leave even through we are anxious for graduation.
