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.

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.

It failed once more. 1935 The school year was extended to 180 days. On August 13, a special election was held to place before the voters a building levy in the amount of $73,000. This time it passed with 456 yes votes and 222 no votes. 1936 Antwerp ' s school colors were black and orange. Upon completion of the new gym, the game of basketball was revived after an absence of several years. Participating in only three games, none were won, but the boys showed considerable ability and promise. 1937 The first yearbook, The Antwer- pian was published. In April, Richard Rhoad portrayed Mr. Goodspeed, Governor of Calabama in the high school operetta, The Governor ' s Daughter. Orville (Dub) Zuber was a book publisher. 1938 Ruth Parrett was elected secretary of the freshman class. George Maglich (left end), Richard Crosby (right half), and Jack Yaeger (quarterback) were named to the All- County football team. The Antwerp Track Team was formed again after an absence of twelve years. They placed fourth in a county meet with a high jump of 4 ' 10 by Donnell Wing. For many years the various schools in Paulding County competed for a place on the county scholarship team. Sixteen dif- ferent subjects were tested and the two highest ranking students of each school advanced to the county team. These students then competed in a district- state test at Bowling Green State Univer- sity. The following county team members from Antwerp placed at Bowling Green: Chemistry — Jane Long (first at BG); General Science — Paul Deemer (fourth at BG, ninth in state); Physics — Richard Carr; American History — Robert Dangler; Latin I — Ruth Carr (fifth at BG); Biology — Denzil Webber (sixth at BG). The board passed a motion that substitute teachers receive 75% of the wages of the person for whom the sub was working. A picture machine was purchased for the school for $350. Shop equipment pur- chases could not exceed $200. The Federated Clubs donated draperies for the auditorium windows. 1939 The school board approved the sale of the Amrstrong School Building for $35 and the Link School Building for $80 to Ada Hudson. The football team was undefeated, un- tied, and unscored upon. At this time, it was believed that this was the only team in the state with this distinctive record. The season record for the team is as follows. Antwerp 21 Oakwood Antwerp 19 Hicksville Antwerp 19 Payne Antwerp 6 Rockford Antwerp 27 Paulding Q °
