HW WILITOP ECHOES 1478 History Perry Hazard Smith graduated from Oberlin College in 1905. Since then he has devoted his time to public education having been superintendent of the Independence, Mentor and Burton township schools. In 1913 Mr. Smith came to Lodi as Superintendent and in his four years here has placed Lodi High in the rank of schools of the first order. ; This experience together with special work in Columbia University has made our Superintendent an able administrator. Besides four hundred pupils under his supervision, Mr. Smith also is instructor in science which was his special field in College. His interest in civic activities make him a constructive factor in the community and both the school and the town will not soon forget the value of his labors. Izola Leonata Fries graduated from Ohio State University in the year 1913. She was then Principal in Briggsdale, [a suberb of Columbus]. In 1914 Miss Fries came to Lodi to teach art in our school and has been here until the present time. Being very versatile and having a very broad educa- tion, she has also taught many other subjects in the High School among which are Science, German and English. She has been coach of the Girls‘ basket ball for four years and it is to her we owe our gratitude for organizing - our first Girls Basket Ball team. Miss Fries has a keen sense of the drama- tic and is well known in this town as an excellent reader. The Senior English Class will probably remember her as a very fine lecturer especially at times when they failed to have their lessons. When the pupils have troubles they usually take them to Miss Fries who is always a sympathizer. She will always be highly esteemed in Lodi High. Mr. Orie Benjamin Gerig graduated from Goshen College, Goshen, Indiana in the year 1917. He came to Lodi in September of that year to accept the position of principal. As an instructor of Freshman Algebra, History and Science he has sueceeded in arousing a remarkable interest and wholesome rivalry in his calss work. His chapel talks were a source of inspiration, and incentive for better work, besides, he did much to stimulate school and class spirit. In addition to his regular pedagogical duties, he was coach of the boys’ basket ball and base ball teams. In this capacity we shall always remember him as an ardent champion of the rights of Lodi le ht Page6é
