The following articles were taken from the Antwerp High School PAPAW Spring Number, 1914. If I had only one thing to say to the school boys and girls of today it would be this: Learn to use your mind, learn to think about the things that count with the same enthusiasm and earnestness that you think about play. Never let the mind rust for want of exercise. Have high ideals. Read only the best books; study the lives of great and good men and try to fill your minds with the thoughts and purposes that make them remembered and loved. Remember you are laying the foundation for a work of a lifetime and that whether you succeed or fail depends on what you think and how you think and that pure thoughts make a pure life and right thoughts make right living. John S. Snook THE ANTWERP HIGH SCHOOL Along the old Maumee stands our Ant- werp Town And the A.H.S. which is our pride and crown Will we forget it? No, Never, Never Our school days we ' ll remember for ever and ever The days, how long and dreary they seem As we toil along our way But each effort fits us better. For the duties we ' ll meet some day. Our teachers so kind to us have been. May we never forget how they tried To lead us on a higher realm As we toil her side by side Ethel Bardelmeier THE SENIOR CLA SS On Feb. 27, our classmate Marie Derek came in, and took the Seniors for a bobsl- ed ride to her home in the country, where the evening was spent in enjoying ourselves as only the Seniors know how. After a lunch served by the hostess, we returned to our homes. As we sped homeward one of the girls exclaimed, Oh, I ' ve had the best time tonight that I ' ve had in ages, and she voiced the sen- timents of all. 1915 It was resolved that the clerk of the school district was to perform the duties of treasurer. The Antwerp Village School District voted to dissolve the school district and it was transferred to the Carryall Rural Board of Education to be maintained in the village in the same manner as it had been in the past.
