Homey Did you know? construction of a new building to be com- pleted by September 1911, The building was not completed in September, but school was held in the portion of the building that was finished. 1912 The school board fixed their regularly scheduled meeting day to be on Saturday evening of each month. A telephone was installed in the new Antwerp school building. Teachers in the Antwerp Village were notified that school would not start as scheduled in September due to lack of funds to pay salaries. 1913 The school houses were heated with the best Kentucky lump coal available at a cost of $4.80 per ton. 1914 The high school students publish- ed a school paper called The PAPAW. 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.

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.
