FRED A. TIEDGEN For the past two years Supt. F. A. Tiedgen has directed the affairs of the Mason schools in a most efficient and capable manner. Mr. Tiedgen was born in Hamburg, Livingston county, Michigan, in 1877. In 1887 his parents moved to Eaton county, where he attended the rural schools through the ninth grade. In the winter term of 1893- 1894- he entered the preparatory department of Olivet College, graduat- ing in 1900 with the degree A. B. In May, 1900, he was elected super- intendent of schools at Vermontville, Michigan, and retained the same through four consecutive years. In the summer of 1903 he attended the U. of M. and continued there as a post-graduate student during part of the year 1904--1905, withdrawing in April to accept a position as teacher in Detroit University school, where he continued the following year. He entered the Cass City schools as superintendent in 1906, remaining there two years. Since coming to Mason, Mr. Tiedgen has introduced many things beneficial to the school. He has aimed to raise the existing high stand- ard of scholarship and through his influence, exerted morally as well as intellectually, the schools have continued to progress.
