BOARD OF EDUCATION The men who are always striving and working for the best interests of the school. Too Beard of Educatic.: c ' Wapakoneta, Ohio has taken a very important place in the lives ot t:e students of Wapakoneta City Schools. The members of the Board are prominent business men who realize the responsibility of directing the futures of many students. They are Clarence Veit, Dr. G. B. Faulder, Carl D. Fischer, Jacob Koenig, Ed Trail, and Clerk ot Board Edwin Stroh. During this past school year, 1932-1933, the Beard has faced and withstood the financial panic which was world-wide. Neighboring schools were torced to close because of tee lack of sufficient funds, but our schools did not miss a day in spite of closed banks. Through the foresight of these capable men we ran our school the full nine montes and paid the teachers, too. The Board has provided an institution which is worth honorable mention in the state. The pupils who are graduated from Blume High School are qualified to enter the colleges of the United States. As an example of the interest the Board takes in the welfare of the students, they contemplated building a swimming pool over in the Harmon Field. The fur.ds to build this pool were to be taken from the sale of the School Board’s lot at the corner of South Blackhoof and Pearl Streets for a post office building. Unfortunately the government has delayed the purchase of this lot so we can not have this pool. And so, Members of the Board, we students of Blume High School thank you for equipping us so adequately for the future.

Our Worthy Superintendent Mr. Menschel, our very estimable superintendent, is always ready at our slightest request to lend us a willing and helping hand. We have never had a problem but which, if we asked his advice and cooperation, was responded to with a true spirit of friendship and comradeship. In the few social functions which we enjoyed together we were shown another side of his personality and through this contact we were convinced of his personal attitude toward the students as his fellowmen. We wish to express our gratitude for the faith this friend of ours has placed in us during these four years of close relationship. When the doors of Blume Hi close on the nineteen hundred thirty-three class of Seniors, it will be with deep regret that we bid this willing friend adieu. Our Revered Principal To our beloved principal, Mr. Idle. It is a difficult task to tell of his many good deeds and thoughts toward us, as a class. Each and every one of us feel we know' Mr. Idle as well as our own father. To him we would wend our way when in trouble r.o matter how serious or insignificant it seemed. He took all our personal grievances to heart and with his kind, unselfish spirit always afforded us real consolation. He is a person of untiring patience, due to his personal contact with boys and girls ci every type for the most part of his life. As long as Mr. Idle remains w'here we can have access to his confidential advice, we shall go to him. It is with deep regret that the class of nineteen hundred thirty-three leaves this true friend, but he will be remembered by them throughout their lives.
