To Mr. Ehrman goes the re- sponsibility of managing the af- fairs of the entire Firelands School District. With the help of James H. Ehrman, our school system has acquired the respect of educa- tional institutions in the county and of the beyond. His many duties keep him on the go, and he certainly de- serves the appreciation of the residents of the entire Firelands area. EXECUTIVE HEAD

PRINCIPAL Fred R. Motheny v 5 i Tv! 52 x x ri .gg if P -. Mr. Matheny is a man whom we will always admire for his excellent leadership and the sound counselling which has made Firelands High School what it is today. We realize that his iob is not an easy one, but we think he has filled his position as Principal admirably. He has shown the excellent quality that an ideal administrator needs. SECRETARY FIRELANDS HIGH Firelands High has seen five senior classes pass through its doors since the school first opened its doors in the fall of l954. The physical make up of the school has constantly im- proved, thanks to the hard work of the people in the Fire- lands district who have diligently strived to attain some- thing in which we can all take pride. Such additions as the large bulletin board in the main hall, a trampoline, land- scaping of the yard, an excellent track and football field equipped with lights, along with special improvements to l 7 'lung- each particular department, have greatly helped to make our school days most happy ones, Proof of Fireland's educational advances comes from the observation that it has turned out more college bound seniors each year. This trend toward higher education indicated a much greater interest in education than was previously in the area. With the attitude of the students toward scholarship and citizenship improving with the fervor that it has to date, the outlook toward a more productive and creative alumni appears bright indeed. , X3
