Between Classes Students Enter Jammed Corridors from Crowded Study hall. When the freshman enters Van Wert High, he examines his daily schedule and finds that several periods are spent in room 210. He soon discovers that this is also his homeroom for the year. As he grows older, he realizes more and more how important the hours spent in this large room are to him, for it is here that he secures the knowledge gained in classrooms. By the time he is a senior, he can observe what effect this room has had on his education, and knows that the old wooden desks, uncomfortable though they may be, are the seat of much of his knowledge.

Through an Approving Nod or Warning Glance Students Realize That This group of ladies and gentlemen, our faculty, has a never- ending task — that of keeping up a high educational pace in the present crowded, inadequate facilities. Our faculty not only gives us the fundamentals of each subject, but also serves as a friend and counselor. Their patience and understanding arc appreciated. Yes, Pope was correct in saying, Tis education forms the common mind; Just as the twig is bent the tree is inclined. FOREIGN LANGUAGES Mrs. White, Mrs. Brooks European language and culture is introduced in our school in the French and Latin Classes taught by these two gracious ladies. Mrs. White teaches Latin I, II, III, IV. She is Dean of Girls, Latin Club advisor, and National Honor Society advisor. Mrs. Brooks teaches French I, and II, Eng- ish III, and is Junior Y-Teens ad- visor. LIBRARY Mrs. Saylor A new-comer to our faculty, Mrs. Saylor, has the responsibility of keep- ing our library orderly. She sponsors a club for all interested librarians and serves as advisor for our Excalibur. SUPPLIES Mr. Williams might be called our supply and demand officer as he issues adequate equipment for the student body.
