Through a loyal and unswerving devotion to the standards and ideals of the Mansfield High School, we shall attain that knowledge, discipline, culture, refinement and breadth of view which will enable us to render our greatest service to humanity. We believe in the Mansfield High School; in its class and school spirit, its high standards, its lofty ideals, its professional and inspiring teachers. A price is set on success in school, It is indeed a simple rule; No royal road for high or low, You must labor and suffer if you would forward go. H. H. HELTER, Supt.

rr = OUR SUPERINTENDENT. J Mr. H. H. Helter, the new superintendent of the Mansfield Public Schools, was reared on a farm near Gnadenhutten, Ohio. He received his early training in the rural schools and later attended the Public Schools of Gnadenhutten. He taught in the rural schools for four years, and in 1885, entered the Preparatory Department of Ohio Wesleyan University, graduating from the institution with the degree of A. B. in 1891. The same year, he entered upon his duties as superintendent of the Gnaden¬ hutten Public Schools, which position he held until 1893 when he became principal of the Troy High School. In 1899, he was made superintendent of the Wapakoneta Public Schools, and after eight years of very efficient service, was elected to the position of superintendent of the Mansfield Public Schools. Mr. Helter is well known throughout the state as a school man of enthusiasm and ability, which is attested by the positions of prominence he has held. He has served as Secretary of the Ohio Teachers’ Association, and was county examiner of Auglaise County for six years. At present, he is a member of the State Board of School Examiners and also of the Legislative committee of the Ohio Teachers’ Association. Mansfield High School extends him a welcome hand and most earnestly wishes him a continuation of his past success.

BEFORE. We’re going to print a paper! ’Twill be a grand one too! We’ll show the rest of the classes What nineteen-eight” can do. For we’re the staff appointed By the Mansfield High School crew. We’ll use no copied sketches, Our stories will be of the best; The poems must be original; For parodies we detest. Our jokes will all be funny. Now, really, we don’t jest. For we’ll come out victorious And at the close of this year We’ll have found the work to be but fun, And so we’ve naught to fear.
