After all it is to the teachers we arc indebted for what we gather up. absorb or have pounded into us during our brief school life. Too much credit can not be given to the efficiency oi our present faculty. There have been a few changes in our teaching force since last year. Miss Craig, a graduate of ( berlin. has responded to the pressing need of the school for an increased number of teachers and has taken up part of the Knglish Litrature, the entire English History and is assistant to Miss Conrath in beginning Latin. Another addition is Mr. Bice who came to us from Ohio State, lie is one of the higher things, both in stature and in knowledge, and guides the classes over the complex problems and propo- sitions of Geometry. lie also has a class in Civil Government. These two are the only new teachers. • O • This book would not be complete without an editorial mention of the other members of the teaching force. Special mention should be given to the work of our esteemed Latin teacher and Principal. Miss Conrath. Little will the pupils ever know what cares and anxieties for the good of the school and each individual in it are behind that smiling face, as she takes an equal interest in everyone, encouraging the pro- ficient. sympathizing with those who can not master the in- tricacies of Latin, seldom resorting to the censure no doubt often deserved. Her merry laugh tided us over the rough places and we feel in leaving her care we have indeed gone out from under the care of one who had our true interest at heart. Mention has been made of Miss Howell in the Dedication of this Annual, and it only lies in our poor power to wish her many long years of future service for the cause of Christian Education. Miss Rcinhard has chiefly listened to our argu- ments on “Woman Suffrage, ' and other topics brought out by the study of various English Classics and has imparted much from her great store of knowledge. There is Miss Schwartz and the German! She will be associated in our minds with arguments about long lessons and the awful German prose in- vented chcifly to cause the pupils to use those words so full of expression in which the language abounds. Mr. Morris has succeeded in piloting almost the entire Junior Class and some Seniors through the labyrinths of Chemistry, and in addition has instructed nearly a hundred of the first and second year in Botany. Mr. Crim continues to keep up the efficiency of his department and has taken a new responsibility as coach of the base ball team. o • A LIBRARY. While the student body is very greateful for the equip- ment now in use in the High School, the need of a complete, well regulated library is deeply felt by those having an in- clination to read the best in literature. The school, ah’mg with sister institutions, has always been a leader in intellectual and social betterment. The subject of a public library for the town has been discussed. So have many other plans for the good of our citizens. Although discussion is intersting, what is necessary is for some institution whose position is well recognized, such as our High School, to set the example in this work. A library which would be open to all school child- ren and would contain a graded course oi reading from the primary to the last year of High School would at least be a step toward a larger and broader love of good literature. There will be objections to such a plan. We expect them. There have been objections to every movement for the good of mankind. But why not. while we have this beautiful build- ing, with its splendid heating plant, its well equipped labora- tories. its various efficient departments along all lines of High School work, why not with all these advantages have a library on a par with this institution and its records? This is a matter of really vital importance and no one knows it better than the teachers and the pupils of the High School. —11—

EDITORIALS • o • The editors of this publication desire on behalf of the entire student body and faculty to express their appreciation of the manner in which the business men and citizens in gen- eral, including the city council, have cheerfully given their aid to make this school year a pleasant as well as a profitable one. and this effort to set before them an example of our work, a success. It is true that a publication of this kind is not the best medium for advertising any business. Knowing this the liberal business men of Wapakoneta have treated us courteously in our soliciting advertisements and by their co- operation have removed much fear as to our success in get- ting out something worthy of our school. The city council, realizing that clean sport and healthful exercise arc essential to keep the young body in condition for work, have granted us the use of the city hall for athletic purposes, together with the use of free heat and light. By their kindness the basket ball management has been enabled to bring here some of the best high school teams. This could not have been done if the association were compelled to pay a heavy rental for the use of the hall. Lovers at all times of clean sport, our citizens have shown their appreciation of the game fight both the basket ball and the base ball teams have made this year and by their attendance at the games have made certain the suc- cess of these sports. A most gratifying and at the same time most surpris- ing fact is that in our school each class realizes the benefit to be derived from a good yearly publication. It is as much credit to the school as it is to the honor of the class in charge of the publication. The other classes of our school have shown by the aid given us this year that they are heartily in sympathy with our effort at not only maintaining but rather raising the already creditable standard. Their contributions in the line of literature and pictures have aided greatly in mak- ing this book attractive and interesting to all parents, no mat- ter in what class of high scljool their children may be found. By making themselves exact models for our cartoonists they have contributed toward the ludicrous as well as artistic side. As a parting word to the Juniors who are to step into our place next year, the Senior class of 1010 extends its heartiest wishes for as great an annual. — 10—
