Students in 1954 — Pat McCalla, Peg Worrick, Tom Clark C. B. Waters was employed as agricultural teacher for the 1920-1921 school year. Father Joseph Ludwig, St. Michael ' s Parish of Hicksville, Ohio, purchased the Clay School Building, exclusive of lightn- ing rods, bell, window sash and glass for $275.00. The board passed a resolution to discon- tinue transporting pupils to and from school unless said pupils lived more than two miles from the school. Due to the fact that there was an insuffi- cient number of pupils in the Armstrong School District to lawfully carry on a public school, the building was closed. The school board established the policy that they refused to transport pupils either to or from any school unless it was a public school in the Antwerp Rural School District or other public school district where it became necessary for transportation in accordance with the school laws of the state of Ohio. The salary of the clerk of the school board was increased to $25.00 per month due to the fact that the position required more research and bookkeeping since the passage of the Ohio State Teachers ' Retirement System. The school board hired Isaac Boice to drive the school truck now owned by the board. His salary was $20.00 per week. He had to furnish his own oil, gas, grease, make repairs, and store the truck at the end of the term for $2.00 per month. The school board paid for all new materials and parts. In August, the school electric bill was $3.00. It cost the board $69.00 to place four new tires, tubes, and make other repairs on the bus. In October, the school board found themselves financially short on funds to meet the payroll of the teachers and bus drivers. They borrowed $1000 to be paid back at the rate of 7° ' o ■ 1921 The superintendent ' s salary was set at $2,000. On April 7th, the school board approved the graduation of 16 girls and 2 boys. Students fees for high school were $8.00 per month. G. H. Deemer was employed as principal of the high school at the salary of $1,800. On August 4th, under the Smith-Hughes Law, M r. L. L. Brown was employed to teach agriculture at the high school. The opening day of school was September 12, and elementary students ended their school year on April 28, 1922, with 2 days off for Thanksgiving and 9 days off for Christmas. The compulsory school age for the Ant- werp School District was 7 to 18 inclusive. In September, the school board was con- sidering solutions to overcrowding in the Antwerp building. 1922 There were nine locations making up the network of the Antwerp School District: Erter, Clark, Overmeyer, Elmtree, Wilson, Champion, Doering, Link and Stinger.

100 YEARS The principal of the Antwerp Schools earned an annual salary of $1000.00. There was a county wide uniform adop- tion of common school text books to be used in Paulding County. 1916 The board fixed the second Friday evening of each month to be the time of their regularly scheduled meetings. Where as the Carryall Rural School District was maintaining a first grade high school and felt the need of more supervision for the welfare of the school, the Carryall Rural School District peti- tioned the Paulding County Board to be set off as a separate district. The school term started on September 4, and the superintendent was instructed to make a schedule with the school term not to exceed nine months. 1917 The school board adopted The Essentials of Geography, Books One and Two, By Adolph, Brigams, and McFarlands. The books were purchased by the school board and in turn were sold to pupils for $.54 and $.93 each. The Erter School was closed due to the fact that the average daily attendance for the preceeding school year was only eight pupils per day and there were only eight prospective pupils for this year. The school purchased a horse drawn school wagon with a Wayne heater at- tached and a drop pole for $223.50 from Carrs at Richmond, Ind. 1918 The school board fixed their regularly scheduled meeting day to be the second Thursday of each month. On March 16th, 1918, the Paulding Coun- ty Board of Education, in accordance with the provisions of the General Code of Ohio, dissolved the Carryall Township Rural School District of Paulding County and created there, together with certain territory from Harrison Township Rural School District, a new district to be known as Antwerp Rural School District. The school year was scheduled for all grades to attend school for eight months and high school for nine mo nths. The high school was to make up two weeks by attending on Saturdays. 1919 School was closed six weeks due to a smallpox and flu epidemic. Teachers were notified that they were expected to make up for the lost time and would be paid half time wages for the make up days. The school board made application to the Ohio State Department of Education for federal state aid for a department of vocational agriculture in the high school. Plans were made to reopen the Erter School provided there were the required the number of students to hire a qualified teacher. 1920 Superintendent Kunce was in- structed to buy the necessary supplies as required by law for the carrying on of a first grade high school for the coming year. On April 20th, the Murphy Schoolhouse, situated one and one half mile east of Antwerp on the old Canal, burned down during a wind storm. The remains were sold in five lots to the highest bidders. 1. 1938 Custodian, Millard Jones 2. 1938 Custo- dian, Ruth Jones 3.

100 YEARS The school board voted not to pay transportation for children living less than two miles from school. On July 8, the Board of Education, by petition, closed the Elm Tree School. Home economics was brought to Antwerp High School. The class was held in Dag- gett Cottage. 1923 The board granted Link, Clark, and Erter schools a day to attend the Farmers ' Institute held at Fairview Grange Hall. On April 5, the Doering School was of- fered for sale. 1924 The board suspended the Link School because the cost of transporting those students would be much less than the operation of the school. 1925 On March 25th, the Champion Schoolhouse, buildings, and land were sold at public auction. The first outhouse was sold to Edward Purdy for $4.00. The second outhouse was sold to Weldon Powell for $5.00. Mr. Powell also bought the woodhouse for $38.00. The schoolhouse and land were sold to Roy Schultz for a bid of $290.00. The Doering Building was sold to Wm. Cunningham for $82.00. The Wilson Schoolhouse and land were purchased by Fred Bartell for $177.00. In August, a flagpole was purchased for the school for $73.20. 1926 A supplementary reading program was entered into the curriculum as directed by guidelines from the state. On November 2, a levy for $95,000 was defeated by a margin of 406 to 196. This was to have purchased a site, built a new building, and furnished it. 1927 On September 9, a very large delegation attended the board meeting to ask permission for annexation to the Antwerp Rural School District. The mat- ter was given to the county board for consideration. 1928 Mr. Ollie Zedaker was employed as a teacher at $800 for eight months. 1929 In the November election a bond issue to raise $112,875 to build a new high school was defeated by a margin of 387 to 337. 1930 A fee of 25 cents was charged to at- tend commencement exercises. In November the new building levy was again defeated with 462 no votes and 326 yes votes. 1931 A Willys school bus was purchased for $875 from the Gordon Bus Company. 1932 The elementary grades were closed after eight months of school due to a lack of funds to continue to the end of the school term. In October, the superintendent told the board that the total enrollment in the grades was 416 and the high school enrollment was 175. This large enroll- ment caused a very congested condition throughout, with grade attendance as high as 60 in one room. 1933 The graduating class was the largest to that date with 36 students. t M- fi f 1. 1945 Paulding County Champions ROW 1 — Max Billman, Ed Shuherk, Gene Hughes, Dick Smith, Jim Vail ROW 2 — Coach H.
