Us 'WWW Fourteen years ago the Ayersville school community abandoned the one room rural school in favor of the present structure This building served the needs of the community quite satisractorily until about 1950 when it became crowded and additional room was needed The voters of the district decided on additional rooms consisting of 3 elementary rooms vocational agriculture rooms 1 English room lunch room kitchen 1 biology room lunch room Z home economics rooms clinic room 2 industrial arts rooms 1 new gymnasium Plus necessary storage rooms All of this room added to what we now have makes the Ayersville School one of the outstanding buildings in North western Ohio It will enable our children to partake of the best in educational facilities The Ayersville School will be equipped to equitably enroll the students of our district at the present rate of increase for several years It will be poss- ible to take care of any extra educational desires of the comm- unity student or adult We will be prepared Truly, our school structure will be a building to be ad- mired and a tribute to our community's desire for the best in education!
