H. M. SHAEFFER, Principal it' Department-Algebra Home-Montpelier, Ohio School-Heidelberg College, Tiffin, Ohio, Ohio State University Degrees-A. B. A wise knowing quality and a stabilizing force characterizes Mr. Shaeffer. He is never disturbed from his seemingly usual calm state of mind. l-le is one upon whom the students feel they can go to for advice and know that every detail of their problem is being given due consideration before a wise answer is given them. Mr. Shaeffer welcomes every new student to high school and because he teaches Algebra, becomes acquainted with them upon their arrival. 'His magnetic personality and subtle humor keeps his classes interesting and thoroughly enjoyable. l-le is always willing to lay aside his own tasks to help the pupils over their ponds of difficulty to the safe shore. Teaching a theoretical subject as Algebra gives him a strong reasoning power which has aided him in his problems as Principal. Many duties rest upon him but he attends to each one individually, giving his undivided at- tention to each duty unstintingly. Surely we all agree that Mr. Shaeffer is a commanding and powerful figure in our faculty. We appreciate his undying loyalty. -Carlin Abend BAR OF IUSTICE --Mr. Shaeffer -Willis l-loadley Page l5

SUPT. H. S. MOFFITT Department-Physics, Algebra, Geometry Home-Mt. Vernon, Ohio School-Hiram College, Bethany College, Columbia University Degrees-B. S., M. A. Honors-Pi Gamma Mu Understanding, sincerity, and dependability are the qualities which all the students admire in our Superintendent, Mr. Moffitt. ln the classroom his pres- ence dominates and inspires the scholars to develop their power of reasoning, to balance their minds, and to look at all problems, mathematical or other- wise, from a practical and scientific viewpoint. He has the ability to understand the construction of human natures and to psychologically analyze the thoughts of those with whom he comes in daily contact. He is unsurpassed in force and fitenss for his responsibilities and has the unrivaled gift of succinct and trenchant speech. One explanation is sufficient. He possesses a keen and an alert mind which gives him the power of immediate observation, sudden yet well thought decision, and readiness of comprehension. Those who are graduating and those still in high school fully appreciate and express their gratitude to him for his remarkable guidance and leadership. Mr. Moffitt has a great load upon his shoulders, yet he never wavers or falters for his infallible intellect causes him to have vigor and richness of re- source. He is urbanely plastic and versatile. -Carlin Abend SOLVING A PROBLEM -Willis Hoadley -Maurice Gregg -Mr. Moffitt Page 14

BURNS Although Miss Burns for many years has given her un- divided attention to the mastery of Literature in the upper classes of the High School, she has especially favored the Seniors with her never erring and unfaltering aid. The in- numerable activities which she directs so successfully cer- tainly proves her to be one of the great factors in the progress of the school. Truly it would suffer without her. MARIORIE L. HETI-I Regardless of the fact that Miss Heth's English and His- tory classes involve diligence and all her students do not comprehend, she ever maintains an admirable patience. Always striving to present subjects that each may clearly grasp them, she employs a sense of humor that now and then brightens up the gloom of school life. WALTER W. FABEN Mr. Faben is a favorite of all students. His sincere and placid character merits all admiration placed upon him. During his time as teacher in this school he has established a reputation for keeping both his English and French classes alive with his inexhaustible supply of knowledge and gen- eral information. sity Activities -- Girls' Basketball Coach, Freshman Class Ad- visor RUTH RICHEY CWEBERD Although one of the busiest members of our faculty, for she supervises Latin and English courses as well as acting as the school librarian, Miss Richey efficiently per- forms all duties as though they Were but mere tasks. Her dependability and her interest in every worth while cause have made her a valuable asset to the school. DOYLE G. SWANSON Willing, able, and comprehensive, Mr. Swanson has a way of putting vitality and life into the dull sounding word History, Well versed in his subject he has little difficulty in transferring his meanings. He is noted for his fairness and equality among the students. His classes are made more interesting by current topics and lively discussions. DALE V. SWANSON Mr. Swanson has long enjoyed immense popularity with all the students of M. H. S. His rare -.sense of humor, which is always in evidence, has no doubt had a great deal to do with this. A former star athlete himself, he still loves all forms of athletics. We all appreciate this fine character and may he continue in our midst for many years to come. Page I6
