Ly ARCHBOLD HIGH scHoo1. Archbold High School graduated its first class in 1891. The class of 1952 marks the si:1t.e.h class to be g azlualed. 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 eduggfignql institiyion juslifies its somewhat costly existence. Education, the American Way, and Christianity continue to be the chief pillars of the lhi11CJS we hold dear. The old Elementary Building was the only building on our campus until 1924, when the present Industrial Arts Build.ng was constructed. The present High School was built in 1930. In 1937 lhe German Township 5Cl109lS GI13 the Afchbold Schools were consolidated into the present district. A New Vocational Agriculture Buildinq was opened in 1918. In May of 1949 work was begun on the new Elementary Building. It was ready for use in the fall of 1950 and was a fine addition to the school. Several other additions will be needed in the near future. An Elementary gymnasium, an addition of classrooms to the High School, and a new Industrial Arts Building have all been suggested by the State Department Ol Education. The school has had a continuous growth and it industrial and economic factors in our community may be as a baro- meter this growth will continue indefinitely. ELEMENTARY SCHOOL l l

The Graduating Class of 1952 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.
