Ohio is composed of 88 counties, with Darke County the leader in agriculture. Early Darke County was the scene of many skirmishes between the Indians and U. S. troops commanded by Generals Anthony'Wayne and Arthur St. Claire, which finally resulted in the signing of the Treaty of Greenville, 1795, and the opening of the Northwest Territory for settlement. Our village of Ansonia, founded in 1845, was formerly known by the i ane or Dallas. However, because of another town in the state having the same name, much of the mail was missent. This caused the postmaster to rename the village Ansonia. The name Ansonia was borrowed from a clock, which was made in Ansonia, Con- necticut. This clock still remains in the local postoffice. The Community of Ansonia has contributed many famous per- f t 4 sonalities to the state, some of whom have gained world wide recogni- 4 tion. They are: Lowell Thomas, Radio Commentator, Author and Traveler, Enock Zeitz, Renowned Mathematician, John S. Royer, First Ansonia school Superintendent, First Newspaper Editor and Author of "Royer's Mental Arithmetic"g and Annie Oakley, Famous "Little Miss Sure Shot. " We are proud to be natives of Ohio. The Buckeye state has a his- tory to be proud of. Remember, you yourself, are continuing to give it this history. f'4tf 66 apzwde at '4 SCHOOL amz W' V- POND 1 N -ff if B. Yank idea!

To look back upon the happenings oi your school years, is oiten a pleasant ' experience. Sometimes there is a note oi sadness, but, al- ways it is interesting. ll The ORACLE record is valuable to you for the happy moments it enables you to relive. The record which really counts how- , ever, is the one you make in after school years. There is often a very definite connection between the two. y The point X wish to make in this letter is to be found in y the words of Omar khagy am, which are as follows: "The moving, , Singer writes, and having writ, moves on, hor all your piety nor wit shall lure it back to cancel half a line, hor all your , tears wash out a word oi it." Make your school record right the first time so that "he who runs" may read without any unpleasant sensation.
