WX' 5 ARCHBOLD HIGH SCHOOL Archbold High School graduated its first class in 1891. The class of 1950 marks the fifty-ninth class to be graduated. More than a thousand young men and women have graduated from here since 1891. They may literally be found in all parts of the world. The fame, fortune, and success which many of them have achieved is ample evidence that their Alma Mater did well by them. Thus an educational institution justifies its somewhat costly existence. Edu- cation, the American Way, and Christianity continue to be the chief pillars of the things we hold dear. The old Elementary Building was the only building on our campus until 1924, when the present Industrial Arts Building was constructed. The present High School was built in 1930. In 1937 the Gennan Township Schools and the Archbold Schools were consolidated into the present district. A new Voca- tional Agriculture Building was opened in 1948. In May of 1949 work was begun on the new Elementary Building. It will be ready for use in the fall of 1950. Several other additions will be needed in the near future. An Elementary gymnasium, an addition of classrooms to the High School, and a new Indus- trial Arts Building have all been suggested by the State Department of Education. The school has had a continuous growth and if industrial and economic factors in our community may be used as a barometer this growth will con- tinue indefinitely.

BOARD OF EDUCATION Seated: George Rupp, Peter Rupp, Dr. E. R. Murbach. President, Owen Rice, Clerk, I. R. Peters, Vice President. Standing: Melvin C. Winzeler, I. H. Spengler, Local Superintendent of Schools. The Graduating Class of 1950 wishes to pay its respects to the Board of Education of our School. As we are about to leave we become aware of the fact that we have had the advantages of a fine school building and its excel- lent facilities. We do not often pause to ask who makes these things possible. but we are sincere in our expression of thanks and appreciation for the fine school we have been privileged to attend. We know you have given untiring effort and unceasing devotion to the task of providing educational advantages for the youth of today which did not exist in your day. We know that your material rewards are as none and that your criticisms are often great. It is only in the knowledge that your contributions of time and effort are a genuine service to the youth of our community that your rewards must lie. We sin- cerely wish to acknowledge our debt of gratitude to you and the public whom you represent, and as we leave we humbly say, Thanks a lot for everything.
