ADMINISTRA TION Kent Adams returned this year as Superintendent of the Edon Northwest Schools. This was his eighth year as Superintendent and his seventeenth year with the school system. Mr. Adams, originally from Van Wert County, received his BS Degree from Defiance College, MS Degree at Indiana University, and Education Degree at the University of Toledo. One of the major changes this year was the passage of a five mill tax levy in June, 1976. This was due to the removal of the copper cables along county road K which was the taxable property of the American telephone and Telegraph Company. Winter caused many bussing and heating problems.

FACUL TY Three new teachers joined Edon High School faculty this year. They were: Marleen Lehman teaching P.E. , Barbara Fogel teaching English, and John Steinman teaching Vo. Ag. In a survey taken by the Key of E Staff it was found that there were several new items purchased for different departments. The English department acquired fifteen new dictionaries and a new bookcase, the Vo. Ag. room got a bulletin board, and the History rooms got new drapes and a chalk board. Mr. Thiel, when asked what was new in his room, remarked humorously, 1 ' Oh, about 60 freshman. ' ' Several other questions were included the same survey. In response to the question, ' Are you happy in your job? ' 100% replied positively. The question ' How was T.V. influenced education today? ' 60% of the teachers thought it had an adverse effect and 40% thought it had a positive effect. You think you know the teachers at Edon High School, but did you know . . that if Mr. Von Allmen could choose another profession, it would be professional golfing. That one of Mrs. Richer ' s hobbies is softball? that 90% of the teachers enjoy getting up at sunrise or within a few hours thereafter? that Mr. Senger ' s second choice for a vocation would be the Air Force.
