Mr. Rauch delights his classes with his lighthearted humor. Mr. R. P. Rauch DEDICATION We, the class of 1960, dedicate this yearbook to a man whom we know not only as a teacher, but also as a loyal friend, experienced men- tor, and acclaimed humorist. Having been advisor to one of the most active organizations, the Senior Hi-Y, he has assumed a vital role in our extra curricular activities. He will long be remembered for his ver- satility, which is evidenced by his participation in everything from in- formal pep assemblies to dignified banquets. This gentleman is known for the quantity, as well as quality of sen-ice rendered , as he is complet- ing his twenty-fifth year of teaching in our school. We combine our best wishes with our sincere admiration as we proudly dedicate the 1960 Excalibur to Mr. Rauch.

' ' Education is the knowledge of how to use the whole of oneself. A man is educated who knows how to make a tool of every fac- ulty — how to open it, how to kcej) it sharp, and how to apply it to all practical purposes. This quotation by H. W. Beecher defines the educated person. Van Wert High School strives to maintain conditions ena- bling students to receive an education suited to their individual needs. In the midst of this academic learning, we find that other experiences here at school will help us in later life. The con- fusion an d laughter of a pep assembly and the solemnness of a religious program give us the practical knowledge of sportsman- ship and sereness. Tears after our first football defeat, the hysterical laughter during Harvey, and the excited feeling as graduation neared recall only a few nostalgic moments. This EXCALIBUR tells the story of our school year during 1959-60 at Van Wert High.
