F. Hesterman for the past twelve years. Mr. Hesterman received his elementary and high school training at Ridgeville Corners Local School. He took his B. A. Degree at Valparaiso University and returned to teach at Ridgeville. During the years 1944-1946 our Superintendent served his country in the U. S. Navy. In 1948, Mr. Hesterman was granted anM. A. De- gree from Bowling Green State University. Mr. Hesterman has been at Ridgeville for twenty- five years. To him, our Senior advisor, we respect- fully dedicate this yearbook.

Seated: Raymond Behrman, Henry Eggers, Eldor Helmk Knane Knape. e, Frank Much credit should go to the members of the Board of Education, who have so ably served the people of this school community without salary. SUPERINTENDENT F. F. Hesterman The Superintendent of Ridgeville High School F. F. Hesterman, has faithfully and energetically performed his duties for twenty-five years. With patience and fortitude he has guided an ever increas- ing number of students through these halls. In addition to shouldering the super- intendents ' many tasks quietly, Mr. Hes- terman has taught yearly in the school. He is efficient, and all students realize this fact. Under his guidance Ridgeville High School has grown steadily from year to year. The graduating class this year con- gratulates Mr. Hesterman for his fine qualities and for his interest and help throughout past years. PRINCIPAL The principal of any school is one of the main cogs in the educational machine, so to speak. Our principal, George Clark, is capable in handling his job. Differences of opinion among stu- dents, trouble . . . things of this nature come to him daily. His task is to bring order out of chaos. Our principal does just this . . . and well! Mr. Clark is skilled in the task of teaching. A host of students testify to it. George Clark LOREN BECK B.S. in Agriculture, Ohio State University, Iowa State College, Graduate Study.
