THE BIG HGUSE The land on which Wadsworth High School now stands was purchased by the Board of Education in the spring of 1869. In the following year there was constructed a six-room brick building which stood three stories high and which contained an assembly hall, instead of additional class- rooms, on the upper floor. By the fall of 1870 Wadsworth's first high school under the graded system was ready to begin classes. Because of the increasing enrollment, several rooms were added to the building until, in the year 1908, it became necessary to erect an entirely new school. In 1922 the new building was enlarged by the addition of twenty-two rooms, an auditorium, and a fifty-by-seventy-foot gymnasium floor. This constitutes the building which is in use today. R. H.

SUPERINTENDENT CF PRISONS Every prison needs a good superintendent to manage all the outbreaks and uprisings which occasionally occur. Although seldom seen because of his many meetings, speeches, and ever-present school affairs, Mr. Burk- holder carries out the duties of the school system effectively. Besides being an excel- lent superintendent, he is willing to take part in pep rallies and assemblies. CHIEF WARDEN Beginning the day with a friendly smile from Warden Work, as he reminds us that it is 8:25, we never think of our school as a jail. Always ready to listen to our troubles and then to help us, Mr. Work, affectionately known as O. J., is well liked by the entire student body. Mm- M5 fx il PAROLE BOARD M. F. Yelinek CVice-Presidentl, T. H. Ewing, S. E. Weltyf Presidentj, D. O. Wearstler, J. S. Overholt. Not many of us personally know these men, but their decisions affect us greatly. They indirectly have a hand in determining school policies, employing teachers, spending tax money, raising revenue, deciding the school curriculum - in short, managing the school. They are citizens of the town who are interested enough in the school and in the students to give of their valuable time in order to improve Wadsworth High. 10 E. C. BATES AGENCY
