We, the Senior Class of Blume High School, sincerely and respectfully dedicate this Retrospect to Mr. W. Sanders Idle. Mr. Idle, in all his service in the capacity of principal of Blume High, has become known and loved by many. His friendly kindness never fades and he is ever willing to do more than is expected of him when his assistance is requested. He is always willing to help all organizations, as well as individual students themselves. His friendly advice, given in a spirit of helpfulness, is always welcome and heeded. Mr. Idle has been more like a father to the students than a superior in ability and position. His interest is widespread, since he takes an equal interest in all students. He is willing to cooperate with and aid anyone who calls upon him. Particularly was this true of his doing everything possible to accomodate the various organizations of the school. By a true example, Mr. Idle has tried to instill into the hearts of the students that application of Christianity which he practices. In any new thing that is undertaken at school his tolerance is especially noted. He seems to have the patience of Job, which is a quality many would like to have, but lack. Because of his true worth, we the Senior Class of Blume High School deem it a privilege to be able to show our appreciation to Mr. Idle through the medium of this book.

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.
