OUR COUNTY SUPERVISOR C. L. SHAFFER Mr. ShaHer became the local superintendent at the beginning of the school term, 1903-4 and remained so for twelve years. At this time he was made the district superintendent along with his position as our local superintendent. After five years of this double burden Mr. Shaffer dropped the position as district superintendent but still remained the head of the Ohio City School. He was directly connected with the school for twenty continuous years. When Mr. Shaffer became superintendent in Ohio City there were only two years of high school work available. In the school year, 1903-4 there were only elight in the high school with only two graduates. When Mr. Shaffer left Ohio City in 1924 there were one hundred and twenty-four students enrolled in high school and a four year course available. Until 1903-4 there was no Latin, chemistry, French or biology taught, these be- ing added under Mr. ShaHer's leadership. In 1933 he was made County Superin- tendent of Van We-rt County. We wish to express our deep appreciation to Mr. Shaffer for all the splendid things he has done for our school. We also appreciate greatly his interest in Ohio City-Liberty and we always look forward to his pleasant, helpful visits with us.

XVE AR The relationship between the students and the faculty should be very amiable and pleasant. The student should feel that he is free to ask any questions that he so desires. In the classroom the student should respect the teacher as he is of high- er knowledge. On the other hand, outside the classroom, they should be on a friend- ly basis. If the teacher makes the work more interesting to the pupil the co-oper- ation between the two will be more pleas- ant. Friendly relationship, inside and out- side of the classroom, makes the work easier for both the teacher and the pupil. E -BETTY SHERMAN Q

OUR LOCAL SUPERVISOR EDGAR M. CRAWFORD The closing days of High School Life contains much joy, mixed, however, with some sadness. The twelve years of close associations are about over and the associates of those years will soon be scattered, and will probably never assemble again as a class. It is said that a person never feels so wise as when he graduates from High School. It is well to enjoy that feeling while you can for it will soon dawn upon you that you have taken only the first step in the journey of Life, and that step is to prepare you for the real struggle that will last while you remain in this world, for Life is a constant struggle, no matter how successful it may be. There will never be a day without conflict, toil, and struggle but there may come tro you a day when there will be peace in your heart and the knowledge that the world is richer as a result of the life you have liived. What the world wants and needs is more men and women with intellectual clarity and steadiness of thoughtg the power to bring our chaotic mental world into a closer unity. There is no better way for you to help accomplish this ideal than by mapping some honorable course in life and holding yourself steadily to this course until you have triumphantly finished the fight. Use wisely the dawn of manhood and womanhood, and thereby make smoother the road to final success. Disappointments are as necessary in the development of life as are the shadows in the perfect paintings of the great artists. Have a lofty ideal for your aspirations and then endeavor to live up to it. The great law of compensation still holds true as it has through the ages, As a man soweuh, so shall he reap. Put into life lofty principles and you will extract from life a pleasurable and profitable experience. EDGAR M. CRAWFORD, Principal of Ohio City-Liberty High School
