Dr. J. M. (swald Wo, the students of Corunna High School, with deep- est respect, gratefully dedicate our 1950 volume of the •‘Sphinx” to Dr. Jacob Michael Oswald. Dr. Oswald was prominent in civic affairs for many years and a practicing dentist, having graduated from the University of Michigan in 1925. He was a member of the St. Paul's Catholic Church of Owosso. Order of Elks. Cor- unna Rotary Club, and Corunna V.F.W. Post 4005. We knew him best as a member of the Board of Education on which he served for 6 years. 4 years as treasurer and 2 years as president. While a member of the Board, he always had the interests of the students at heart. To him, cost was secon- dary, and the values were the deciding point. He hoped that a high school band would be organized which could be equal someday to those in surrounding communities. He advocated a varied curriculum and the best faculty members that could be obtained. He was in favor of hav- ing school parties and extra-curricular activities, always hoping that an athletic program for girls could be devel- oped, as well as continued support for the boys. He watched our school grow into a great institution and firmly believed that in the future a rew high school could be built and for this he worked diligently. A guiding hand and a friend to all, in fond memory we give this volume.
