Histor of Lancaster WASSON SCHOOL--one mile north and two miles east of Bluffton. the trustee and advisory board met and opened bids for a new school building to be built near the center of the township. Five acres of ground were bought from George Mill- holland for iB1,250. Students were all brought to school by bus. Thirteen busses were used and 23 teachers were employed at that time. The first class, of 14, to graduate from the high school was in the spring of 1923. The first principal was Cary E. Mounsey. The new school was not completed by the time the neighboring schools were opening, so Lancaster's classes began later in the fall. When classes began, the Home Economics Room was still not completed. A water pipe was run on the top of the floor in order to supply water for the classes meeting in this room. This building was built by the following township officers: A.E. Hunt, trustee, A. R. Huyette, Co-Supt.g .Tess Dailey, Charles King, Raymond Wasson, and N..T. Kleinknight, ad- visory board. To the trustee and the advisory board, after having the building built, came the obligation to meet bonds as they came due, and this was done by taxation. The above board met all of these payments as they came due through all their term of office. At the end of the above boards term of office they had paid 335,000.00 of the township indebtedness. In 1927 the following men served as ad- visory board members: Jess Dailey, Raymond Wasson, and Barney Rupright, J.L. Mounsey, L.E. Stimmel, and Barney Rupright served on the board in 1931. After a few years the teachers were re- duced to 19 and the bus drivers were reduced to 11. Six new bus bodies were bought and three new trucks to replace old ones. All three schools were in good repair except the Lancaster gymnasium floor which was in bad condition caused by water coming in under the floor.
