' f ra'--A ARCHBOLD SCHOOL 1889 PROF. ELIAS WYSE, SUPERINTENDENT IIISTORX' OF A..H.S. Come back with us, the Class of 1941, to that first Archbold High School graduation in September 1891. The schoolhouse is a two-story, white, frame structure with four rooms. A board walk leads up to the building from the street and divides to lead around either side of the building and ends at the doors of two small frame buildings in the rear. The walk di- vides the playground in half, one side for the girls and the other for the boys. A ball has just escaped from the boys over to the girls' side of the walk. Some sweet young thing has just grabbed it and has run for dear life for the farthest corner of the yard, a boy in swift pursuit. That was the famous outdoor sport in those days. The building houses the primary room for the first, second and third grades, taught by Miss Flo Gates, the second room for the fourth, fifth and sixth grades, taught by Miss May Blake, the grammar room for the seventh and eighth grades, taught by Laura Dorshimer and the high room, presided over by Supt.

There are three years of high school and the following subjects are taught: rhetoric, government, bookkeep. ing, literature, geometry, algebra, physics, physical geography, english, general history, Ameri- can history, philosophy and Ray's higher arithmetic. In physical geography class we learn that climatic conditions are changing rapidly and that within 100 years the southern states will be classed in the Frigid Zone. The boys have the job of keeping the wood box filled and just now two boys are coming in with their arms piled high with sticks to replenish the almost empty box. There are five students in the senior class, namely: Charles Diehlman, Isaac Carey, Ella Winzeler, Sarah Levy and Bertha Whitehome. They have finished their year of school. It is evening. The town band has gathered in front of the building and the procession is on its way down to the Opera House. There a full house is waiting them, for this is a new thing and everyone is curious about what is going to happen. Each of the graduates has an essay to present to the public. These essays direct the
