A word of appreciation in behalf of the Hoard of Education to the faculty, citizens and pupils for the splendid cooperation, which has made the school year 1933-34 a most enjoyable and successful one. As finances for school operation have been limited the funds available have been used with much discretion. With the addition of the School Bus service, much appreciation is felt among the parents and pupils of the tuition districts. By the aid of Civil Works Administration furnishing labor; donations by classes, fraternal orders, alumni, P. T. A. and commercial club for the materials used, improvements have been added to the interior of the building by decorating the classrooms, refinishing the desks and the building of a new swinging stage at a small cost to the Board for material. From the 214 pupils enrolled in High School, 52 have successfully passed the four-year course as prescribed by the State of Ohio. As they leave behind the classrooms and associates they will take with them the knowledge that education is worth the effort. May the future hold success for each one as they enter upon his or her chosen field in the wish of all. —T)arst Robbins, Clerk 8
