P we EZQPOIO 0l'L 1:1 1 1 1011:1:1n.1u1n1o1n1:1u111 1 1n1::1 1 1 1 1 c Welcome to 0ur We, the students, welcome you, our parents, to visit our alma mater. We hope that you will have a pleasant afternoon as you are visiting the various classes and departments. Although our school is small, we are very proud of it and want you to be the same. We want you to know our faculty and see for yourselves how each teacher conducts his many classes. The library and ollice are often spoken of by the students. The library is a place where we all go to obtain books to stimulate our thinking or for books in which we may lose ourselves and relax our minds. The oflice is a place where we go to gain information con- cerning school. Sometimes this room is turned into a lecturing hall for those few who find it impossible not to talk when the teacher is out of the study hall. Now, parents, do not lift your eyebrows, because if all the pranks you relate of your school days are true- then this prank is very minor. The Home Economics, Manual Training, and Agriculture depart- ments invite you to visit them and sce the work they are endeavoring to do to make better citizens of the students. Miss Leslie, head of the Music Department, invites you to hcar as well as see what she and the chorus are accomplishing. Mr. Craig, our genial coach, and the two squads invite you to inspect and observe their practice periods. They will endeavor to show you how much hard practice it really takes to play the good games of basketball you come to see every Friday evening. Mr. Wright, our superintendent, and Mr. Miller, our principal, and we of the student body wish to extend our thanks to you and hope you are pleased with what you have seen. C. G. V.

Ll' QPOIO 0l'l GUR GFFICIAL mr. lllright's Editorial One of the most significant items in Ohio History has heen the emphasis on public education. The Ordinance of 1787, over l50 years ago, provided that, Hreligion, morality, and knowledge heing necessary to good government and the happiness of mankind, schools and the means of education shall forever he encouragedf' ldollowing out the spirit of this ordinance, the people of the Tully-Convoy School District have faithfully and generously supported their school. At lirst only the parents with pupils who attended school contributed to the support of schools, hut the idea has always prevailed that schools of any kind are a decided asset to a community. So as early as lti2l the state legislature provided lor townships to levy' taxes on themselves lor school purposes. The Tully'-Conroy' gl'll00l has a broad program of studies. The high school curriculum is well ahove standard. One aim of the administration is to establish the home economics department on a vocational basis, the same as the agriculture department. The home economics department and cafeteria have been remodeled. New equipment and supplies have made it possihle to care for a larger group of students. The school is in need ol additional equipment, especially in the science depart- ment. General science. biology, chemistry. and physics are being offered with good sized classes in all lour ol the sciences. It is planned to install modern equipment in the near future and thus make our science department the equal of the others. l haye enjoyed my' worlx this year at Tully-Convoy' yery' much and appreciate the cooperation of Mr. Shaller, the local school hoard, faculty, and student body in making my lirst year a prolitahle one. +Supt.
