Board of Education OLEDO stands among the foremost cities of the .' nation in regard to its educational system. The 'c' I Board of Education, which is responsible for this, Q and upon whose shoulders rests the great respon- 3 . sibility of providing for the mental development Q .Q of Toledo's future citizens, is composed of Mr. Gustavus Ohlinger, Mr. Robert C. Dunn, Mr. David H. Goodwillie, Mr. Sidney Vinnedge, and Mrs. Ralph P. Daniells. These people have proved themselves to be most capable in the selection of ward and high school teachers. Mr. Charles S. Meek is well known to every Toledoan who is in any way connected with the public schools. For many years he has served both loyally and well as Superintendent of Public Schools and has won the admiration and respect of the hundreds of school children for whom he has done so much. Another to whom we owe a great deal of gratitude is Mr. Ralph E. Dugdale, Assistant Superintendent, whose earnestness and good judgment have secured to him the friendship and esteem of all who know him. An important factor in the development of the high schools is Mr. Roswell C. Puckett, whose willingness to cooperate has caused everyone to like and have confidence in him. He keeps the teachers in touch with modern educational methods, and, from his experience in the many problems he has had to face, is able to give excellent advice to those who would have a perplexing time solving a difficulty for themselves. Because of his wonderful personality and understanding na- ture, Mr. Russell Wenzlau, Director of Schools, has earned the friendship and admiration of all with whom he comes in contact. Through the efforts of these people, an adequate and efficient school system has been established in Toledo. Besides looking after present wants, they have taken great care to provide for future needs, through the opening of extension and vocational schools they have furnished a means of education to those who otherwise would not attend school. Thus the school children of Toledo are living and growing in an atmosphere promotive of a spirit of progress and industry which we hope will inspire them to extend, in turn, the same privi- leges to the generations following them. f 11 for ' pf E V X - Ge mf A ii fi V ii' ga 'gl A ' 1 l17l

Departure 1f ' N OTHER Commencement Day will soon be here. Another year will soon have passed. Once more the portals of Libbey will have opened wide to send forth her Sons and Daughters into the fray of life. Our hearts ache, and our eyes grow misty as they go. . For we realize that life is hard, that strife and diffi- culties and long, patient hours of labor must be theirs. We know that misunderstanding and unpreparedness and unsympathetic souls must take their toll. But still we have faith in our Boys and Girls. We know that in the end they will adjust themselves, that they will rise triumphantly above all difficulties, and that some day they will enter the Land of Success. Libbey has tried to lead you aright. We have taught you the value of consistent effort, the sacredness of labor, the need of trained minds, and the saving grace of Christian Character. We have sought to lead you into fields of education, where many vistas of endeavor have been opened to you. We have shown you that life is a great workshop where every soul must find his place and do his work. For life holds no place for the drone. Only he who does his daily task to the fullness of his capacity can truly succeed. We have often insisted that to your work must be added unselfish Service, that we are our brothers' keepers, and that life without human helpfulness is but sounding brass. Above all, we have called you to the Worship of God, to a Worship that is more than Belief of Mind, to a Worship that expresses itself in daily living. Seniors! Juniors! Sophomores! Freshmen! All go forth into the new life of the summer's freedom, living the Spirit of your Alma Mater. HAROLD E. WILLIAMS, Principal C fi ii 1 ' L . -I 3 se m. 'V A ga Llp ' ' V l19l
