Wayne High School Faculty Ninetee'1Fifteen MR. C. M. LEHR A man is relieved and gay when he has put his heart into his work and done his best. Our superintendent, Mr. C. M.

He has taken post- graduate Work at Ohio Wesleyan University, at the O. S. U. and at the Tri-State Normal College in Angola, Ind. He carries life certi- ficate both high school and common school. Mr. Lehr was the iirst man in the state to es- tablished a course in agriculture in connection with the high school. He was the third man to be appointed township superintendent in the state of Ohio. Prof. Lehr came to Waynes- field from Crawfis Institute at Lancaster, O. He has not only taken an interest in the village school, but has shown a great interest also in the rural schools and the normal department which we have here.

aryGorclonHill By T'S BEEN A LONG TIME AGOQ And I want to tell it in rhyme, you know, About a woman with a beautiful face, That lived near the very same place- On the very identical lands Where Wayne High School now stands. Here she lived and labored and slept, Washed and scrubbed and swept, And the walls of her cabin rang With her sweet voice, as she sang The songs of her childhood. And as they echoed through the Wildwood The birds would take up the singing Until the woods would be ringing With the chorus from that forest throng, The chrous of Mary Gordon's song. Now this lovely creature, Was Waynesiield's first teacher. The house in which she gave instruction, Was of round log construction g A clap-board roof and a puncheon floor, With paper windows and nothing more. N aught was pretty in the place ' Excepting Mary Gordon's face. You say, I'd like if you would, To tell me where this school house stood? This hut of logs, now all rotten, Has its location been forgotten? No indeed, and I must say, That if it were standing to day, Do you know where you'd find it? Not in front of Wayne nor behind it, But you'd say to me I've found it, With the walls of Wayne around it. But that lady so fair, Would not be found there, For her body lies under the sod. Her soul is with its God, But the name of that woman still Will cling to that old hill. So let the bell from Wayne tower above, Ring out a message of love, From the hill where she wrought, From the hill where she taught, Saying: The work is still being doneg The work which Mary Gordon begun. page Sl Don W.

Wayne High School Faculty NiveteenFifteen EDGAR W. FASIG Men should be taught as if you taught them not, and things unknown propos'd as things forgot. -Benj. Franklin. W Mr. Fasig as principal of Wayne High School has won unbounded admiration. He has attended school at Ohio Northern and Ohio State Universities. He ably taught mathemetics and science, showing a splendid grasp of these subjects. He unraveled the dark mysteries of physics to . the senior class. He had charge of high school athletics and helped our boys win many vic- to1-ies. Mr. Fasig was our freshman teacher in algebra and botany, and after .two years absence we were glad to have him with us again in our senior year. He has always put forth his best ef- forts into high school work and with him goes the hopes and wishes of the class of '15 that he will succeed in what future work he undertakes.
