You know you are an Aggie if.......

You know you're an Aggie  if...

You can name everyone you graduated with.

You have attended regular 4-H events 

The county fair is the highlight of the year.

You ever went to parties in a pasture, barn, or in the middle of a dirt road.

School gets canceled for state events.

You could never buy cigarettes because all the store clerks knew how old you and will tell      your folks. 

It was cool to date someone from another school.

 You had senior skip day.

The whole school went to the same party after graduation.

You don't give directions by highway numbers or road names.  You used  directions by references (turn by Nelson's house, go past the two fence posts then past the red barn with double silo's, and it's four houses left of the track field).

You know where Moonshine Alley is.

The school cooks knew you and gave your double when they served something you liked.

You can't help but date a friend's ex-girlfriend or ex-boyfriend

 Your car stays filthy because of the dirt roads, and you will never own a dark vehicle for this reason.

Almost  no one walked to school, they all took the bus.

The town next to you is considered "trashy" or "snooty".

You refer to anyone with a house newer than 1960 as the "rich people."

You know what teacher "Doc" was and what bus driver "Cash"   was.

You know what beanburgers are and now actually fix them for your family.

The people in the city dress funny, then you pick-up on the trend two years later.

You now use Ondossagon for a password – (no one else can spell it the same way twice)

You see at least one friend a week driving a tractor in  a field.

 Basketball coaches suggest that you haul hay for the summer to get stronger.

 Weekend excitement involves a trip to Ashland.  

You have fond memories of Huffs  or Trinko's store

You regularly attended FHA or FHA meetings.

Your teacher calls you by your older siblings' names.

Your heart &  mind hold wonderful memories of a kinder simpler time when we walked the halls of OHS!

Memories of Ondossagon

MEMORIES OF ONDOSSAGON By: Julie Moravchik When I close my eyes I still can see the hallways, the teachers and my friends. The memories of Ondossagon High School are still fresh in my mind. They are such good memories. I wish there was a way to hop in a time machine and take a trip back every once in a while. Just for a day. Or maybe an hour or two. I was able to do that in a way just recently. The reunion committee asked me to make a video for our upcoming all-school reunion, and it gave me a chance to talk with people I haven't seen in a long time. I also had a chance to tour the museum they are setting up at the Benoit Community Center . I looked through old yearbooks and stacks of memorabilia like team uniforms and band uniforms. They even have that giant Aggie Bull that used to hang on the gym wall. It felt good. It brought back feelings I haven't felt in a long time. I miss that young girl sometimes - that girl who was used to knowing everyone by name, w

MEMORIES OF ONDOSSAGON  By DAN JOHNSON (Ondossagon, 1961 -1964) My first formal teaching assignment was a position at Ondossagon High School for the 1961-62 school year.

Dear Aggies, Aggie Families and Aggie friends, This is Jan Lumberg Kupczyk. I writing today to say the time has come for me to retire as Administrator of the Ondossagon Facebook account. It all began in 2009 before the 2010 reunion with the help of Aerica Opatik Bjurstrom. Since then Pam Noble helped immensely. Kathy Johnson joined in 2017 and recently Mark Osmak joined has brought new energy to the site. It's been a great ride and I love all the memories you all have shared. Keep the wheels turning and the memories flowing. 🎼 We're loyal to you Ondossagon!🎶
