THE RIVER REFLECTS The river has reflected the growth of Loveland from its beginning as a rich, fertile valley, through its development into a small railroad town to its emergence as a growing city. In the memory of the Little Miami River is a chronicle of our community. Colonel Thomas Paxton, an ancestor of one of our seniors, Glenna Nieman, is credited with making the first substantial contribution to the settlement of this area in 1796. More and more settlers were attracted to this area and were encouraged further with the con- struction of the Little Miami Railroad, now known as the Pennsylvania Railroad. By 1873 the Little Miami reflected a fairly notable establishment. It was in this year that the first public school was constructed. It suffered a fire fourteen years later but was rebuilt in 1888. Besides being used as an educational institution it was the only hall used by the people at that time for public meetings and entertain- ment. The river reflected a somewhat prosperous town by 1890's, and it was in need of a church. The first building was the Presbyterian Church. Railroad Avenue was the sight of the Methodist Church constructed seven years later. The first Catholic Church began in a small brick building. The seal which appears throughout this book conveys a bit of the history of our city. The river represents the Little Miami, the three divisions of land represent the three countries, and the bugle represents the idea of Lover land's first postmaster, James Loveland, announcing his arrival with the mail. The river continually moves on, reflecting the activities of Loveland and its people, and perhaps carrying with it a remembrance of events. In this sense then the river might serve as an example for us, who by avoiding stagnation may contribute to the living strength of our society.

ADMINISTRATION Men woxk together. Men sweat, toil, and think together. Men are brothers. A11 races: white, black, yellow come together as one. All creeds are Man's: the Jew, Protestant, Catholic. A11 professions belong to man: Miner, doctor, teacher, learner. Man is many nations. French, American, German, African. Man owns the world. And the world owns man. Man's key to the world is knowledge. And knowledge belongs to man. - -Kathy Kraus '65 L m' uxur .
