S. in Ed., who re- ceived his training at Ohio Northern and Ohio State Universities. Superintendent McCleary teaches World History and Civics. During the five years that he has been here, Mr. McCleary has shown that he is interested not only in educational advance- ment, but also in the development of a fine school spirit. One of our new teachers is Frank E. Kurth, who holds the degree of B. S. in Ed. and is a graduate of Wittenberg College. Through his efforts, one of the strong- est basketball teams in the county has been built up. He has won the respect of the entire community by his encouragement of good sportsmanship at all times. He also coaches the volleyball and baseball teams. The subjects which he teaches are Ameri- can Government, General Science, Commercial Arithmetic, and Commercial Geography. Miss Bonnie Deemer, who received the degree of A.B. from Ohio University, teaches Spanish II and English II and IV. She has been with us for seven years. During this time, Miss Deemer has endeared herself to the hearts of her pupils through her cheerful ways and her understanding spirit. Mathematics and Physics, the terrors of most high school pupils, have been made interesting and practical by Mr, Hausser. He holds a Bachelor of Arts degree from Baldwin Wallace College. In the subjects which he teaches, his aim is to impress upon his pupils the necessity of clear and logical thinking. The senior class play, 310,000 Reward , was directed by Mr. Hausser along with Miss Deemer. Miss Aileen Reiner, a graduate of Ohio State University with an A.B. degree, is the teacher of Latin and English I and III. Through her teaching of Latin the pupils have learned of the customs of the early Romans and have received a better understanding of the English language. She has proven her dramatic ability in her direction of the glass plays. The Junior-Senior Prom, under her supervision, will always remain a pleasant memory in the minds of the class of '35.

Sunderland, Clerk The American High School is one of the few billion dollar industries. Its successful management requires the beast minds that society can provide. No other busi-- ness can compare with the high school in the difficulty of its problems, because it deals with the most delicate of all things, the human being. This nation is deeply indebted to the officials and teachers who face the prob- lem of running our high schools. The class of '35 is indeed grateful to our Board of Education for the successful management of the school, thus enabling us to complete our full term.
