Besides the foregoing, OHS provided a wide variety
of other regular and occasional extra-curricular activities for the enjoyment of
its student body. They included scholarship, leadership and school and
community service organizations such as the National Honor Society, the Science
Honor Society (Alpha Sigma) and Arista, the Girls’ and Boys’ Leader Corps,
the Key Club, the Service Club, Candy Stripers, the General Organization and the
Student Court, the Sailor Shop, Library Staff, Art Service Club, Audio-Visual
Squad, Ushers’ Club and Usherettes, and the Weather Station.

 Our extra-curricular school-sponsored organizations included special interest
groups like the Thespian Society, the Lens (pictured at left, an annual publication of literary works by OHS
students), the Leo's Club (astronomy), the Latin and French Clubs, the
World Interest Club, Future Nurses and
Future Teachers of
America, and non-athletic
but equally competitive, interscholastic teams like the Chess Club and Mathletes. |

And our outstanding
music program deserves its own special
page.

without

school dances, and although it was
the most important, the senior prom
was only one of
many. Another OHS tradition was the May Queen Coronation
Dance, to which the senior girls invited the boys (how revolutionary!)
¾
and the cost was $2.00 ¾ per
couple.
