CLASS HISTORY I CHAPTER ONE Early in September, 1931, one hundred twenty-five inexperienced but expect- ant students gathered at the beautiful, new high school as Freshmen. Many were lost, and even the bravest and wisest were puzzled in getting situated. However, with the capable guidance of Miss Wahl, Mr. Bachman, and Mr. Ger- ber, the sponsors, we finally did get settled and elected these officers: RICHARD WELLSTEAD .r...,...,,,,.,,,,,,,rr,..........,,.,.--,,, President VIRGINIA ZACHMAN ,.,.,, .---- V ice-President DONALD HALBERT ,,,..,r r,,,,.,,, S ecretary ROBERT ANDERSON ......

Student Council Representative At last our first year was over and we were released for a few months of vaca- tion and rest from our very worthwhile labors. CHAPTER TWO Now in September, 1932, the class again assembled for the second year of higher knowledge. We found that our number had dwindled to ninety-six. Mr. Canfield was our well-liked sponsor this year. Again leaders were chosen. BRUCE BODART , H ., , a,l,,a, ,. ,,.,a,,a,a.,,.s,.., President HAZEI.. HOLCOMBE .,,,, g g,a.,,.

Death reached out his cold fingers and clutched one of our most brilliant, promising, young students-Bruce Bodart. Although we were unques- tionably saddened by this tragedy, we had a very successful and eventful year.

We have striven against difficultiesp we have pushed aside many obstaclesp we feel that our year has been very worthwhile: and our thoughts sadden as we realize that the best, dearest years of our life are over. Yet we can look forward to many more if we will remember the spirit we employed before we were graduated from Perrysburg High School. We have the world before us-it is up to us from now on whether or not we shall attain success. M it .4
