It is located across from the school on the Fred Lehman property. Its crooked trunk has captured the attention of many students. This bridge is a landmark in Pettisville which is familiar to many students who ride busses. It is situated on Main Street and crosses one of the two creeks running through Pettisville. This property was purchased by the school board from the estate of Mr. Henry Rupp. lt will be used for further enlargement of the school grounds.

The Stor of the Year The school year of 1958-59 turned the seniors loose in fields of opportunity and brought kindergarteners into realms of education. It marked the end of elementary school for the sixth graders and opened doors of high school to grade seven. School opened September 2, 1958, with an enrollment of 567. This was a decrease of seven from last year. With the opening of school came several new faces among the faculty members. Miss Grace E. Cron, a graduate of Bowling Green State University, was the new music director. Miss Cron taught at Sycamore High School the previous year. The new science teacher was Mr. Robert Leeper, who formerly taught at Edgerton. A former teacher at Toledo University, Mrs. Marian Richley, became the new math teacher. Miss Mary Heuer began ner teachmg career this fall as the new sixth grade teacher, She is a graduate of BGSU. Another new face in the profession was that of Mrs. Mazie Fisher. She entered BGSU as a grandmother at the age of 52. Her position in the second grade at Pettisville is her first teaching job. Mrs. Miriam Rose, a graduate of Taylor University, became the new fourth grade teacher. Mrs. Rose, a native of Kansas, formerly taught at Blue Island, Ill. Prin. Ray's office was moved from its previous location to the southeast corner of the high school second floor. The office is a converted faculty women 's restroom. Making reference to his old office, Mr. Ray commented, This one is sort of like a private pigeon roost, but I prefer it to a bus station. A flCfl0I'1 library was organized in Mr. Ray's former office near the study hall. This relieved the overcrowded condition of the small library in study hall. The books were moved by some of Miss Wyse 's rule breakers, the gum-chewers. Others, however, who were good, also helped. The senior English class spent some time cataloging the new library, but left the job unfinished because of lack of time for otherwisej, The new teachers discuss the year ahead of them. They are Miss Grace E. Cron, music, Mr. Robert Leeper,scienceg Mrs. Marian Richley, mathematics, Mrs. Mazie Fisher, grade 25 Miss Mary Heuer, grade 65 Mrs. Miriam Rose, grade 4. ABOVE: Prin.
