l W. O. MOORE Superintendent B. A. MUSKINGUM COLLEGE M. A. WITTENBERG COLLEGE Superintendent W. 0. Moore 1923-1941 Professor W. O. Moore began his academic record as a teacher in Guernsey County in 1896. Wittenberg College, Springfield, is proud to claim him as a graduate and former teacher. It was there that he received his Master's Degree. Mr. Moore came to Upper Sandusky from Mt. Gilead in 1923. At that time the high school had outgrown school facilities and was being con- ducted on half day programs. The next year, 1924, the Senior High School Building was erected at a cost of S'p150,000, and stands as a tribute to the Board of Education and to Mr. Moore. The building was thought to be ample for Upper Sandusky's educational needs for some time, but in 1930, the surrounding community petitioned admission to the Upper Sandusky school system. Rather than erect an additional school plant outside the corporation, Upper Sandusky added twelve one-room districts, comprising all the schools of Crane township and portions of adjacent districts. This gave Upper Sandusky an educational system of city proportions and in 1936 the old Union Building was remodeled and a new grade building was added. The present Upper Sandusky school plant is commanding in appear- ance and adequate for the needs of pupils in all its details. Mr. Moore has seen the Upper Sandusky High School double in size. His first graduating class, in 1924, was composed of forty-two members. This year he will see a class of eighty-five graduates. While his school duties were always his foremost concern, he was active in civic affairs as well. For some years he was President of the ghamger of Commerce, ever seeking to give the entire community the best e ha . This year Mr. Moore tendered his resignation to the Board of Educa- tion. His eighteen years at Upper Sandusky High School have been genu- inely successful. Many of this year's graduating class were born in 1923, the year Mr. Moore came here, and are graduating in 1941, the year of his resignation. We are proud to have grown up with Mr. Moore. 090
