OUR COUNTY l Mr. Shaffer's life is truly one of service. In 1903 he became the superintendent of the Ohio City School and remained the supervisor for twelve years. When Mr. Shaffer came to Ohio City, there were only two years oi high school work availa- ble and only eight high school members. However, during his twenty years of direct association with the school, he was able to build up the curriculum from a two year to a four year course. Several years later there were one hun- dred and twenty-four students enrolled in the high school. In 1933 Mr. Shaffer was made the Van Wert County Superintendent and has faithfully given his time and edorts for the further development of the community. The Senior Class of 1941 wishes to express its deepest appreciation for the many things Mr. Shaffer has done for our school and community. SUPERVIS O R ELEANOR FRECK Secretary to Mr. Shaffer
