One
of our 40-year reunion committee members, Nancy Keegan
(Bixby), delivered the welcoming
banner that would soon greet our group at OHS, and while she was there, she took the opportunity to preview the school tour on her
own.
|
|
"There
are places I'll remember all my life, though some have changed ..."
|
|
Following is Nancy's account of her
experience touring the hallowed halls of our alma mater ―
very much like that of many others among us on the day before our reunion
party
―
after 40 years!!

"My tour included
begging some guy to let me into the auditorium. He was going home,
but I explained to him that the blue tube (the banner) that I was
carrying was NOT A RIFLE!!!
― that
I was a 1960 grad who just wanted a peek ― so he
unlocked it, and I was in
there by myself. Oh boy, did the memories come flooding back!!!
"I wandered the
halls, looked into the rooms (I think our old cafeteria is now art
rooms), even peeked into the ladies room where I fell in while
smoking! Most of it I did not recognize, but there were times I
got the shivers and could picture all of us roaming the halls. I
think some of the lockers are the originals from our days.
 |
"The
original 'Lamps of Learning' plaques that were over the original
entrance are still there. There used to be three, but only two
were kept.
|
|
"Our original entrance is now classrooms leading out
into a court yard off of the new main entrance, which is on Skillman
Ave., not Brower! |
"The library is
HUGE!!!!!
|
|
"Wait
until you see the 'Hall of Fame'!!!!! That's where we
will most likely spend most of our time on the 28th!!! It's
absolutely FABULOUS!!!! So many of the pictures are of the
classmates that we all
knew!!!! Some of the pictures go back to the '20s. |
 |
| There are pictures of our teachers as students and/or
coaches and a beautiful painting of
Mr. Mosback. He was a coach at one
time, too, before he became a Principal. |
"I
could have stayed there all day!!"
|
|
So, tell us already, Nancy, did you
really
have a good
time?
(FYI,
Class, Nancy picked the music for our OHS tour series of pages.)
