We Lay Our Foundation Only with the wise guidance of our capable faculty are we able to lay a firm foundation for life. A teacher may be compared to a brick mason who lays the bricks. Each brick symbolizes a student, and each layer of bricks, a year of the student ' s life. The mortar, which the mason puts between the layers to make them more stationary, represents the e ducation which we need for a firm foundation. Not only do teachers educate, but they may also be found advising an organization, directing a school play, selling tickets for a sports event, coaching an athletic team, giving a speech at a pep assembly, chaperoning a social event, or even adding a finishing touch to the new building. Van Wert High School indeed excels . . . in Administration

The Cornerstones Principal: S. F. Goedde Our new addition to the administration has completed his first school term. Mr. Goedde, who undertook a real task in organizing the student body so that it could function properly in this huge new school, was very success- ful in all his attempts. Of course, he was assisted by his two capable secre- taries Alice Ann Shaw and Mary Shackley, who made his work easier and more pleasant. We wish Mr. Goedde and his secretaries many more pleasant years at VWHS. Secretary: Alice Ann Shav Secretary: Mrs. Shackley 13
