E. A. VAN ATTA, B.S., M.A. Superintendent In 1955, Ada High School welcomed a new Superintendent, Mr. Van Atta. This was actually a homecoming for Mr. Van Atta as he was born near Ada and received his B.S. at Ohio Northern University. Later he continued his education at Ohio State University where he earned an M.A. in Education. His experiences range from teaching in a one-room country school to teaching School Administration at O.N.U. In between he taught in an elementary school while coaching baseball, track and basketball in high school and then on to Superintendent of Schools at Wren, Vanlue, Green Springs, North Baltimore and West Liberty before coming to Ada. His family are all education minded. Mrs. Van Atta is a second grade teacher in Ada; one son, Robert, is a professor of chemistry at Souther Illinois University, and the other son, Richard, is Principal of Blume H.S. in W apakoneta. Mr. Van Atta has been a delegate to meetings of the National Education Association in St. Louis, Boston and San Francisco, and he is very active in the Ohio Education Association and was appointed by that group a member of the Commission for Improvement of Instruction . He is a member of the Ada Kiwanis Club, the Library Board and is active in church work. His hobbies include woodworking and farm management. The door of Mr. Van Atta's office is always open to students who seek his advice or assistance. The Class of 1957 would like to express its appreciation for all he has done for our school. 6 Compliments of BAUGHMAN GREENHOUSE
