Dedication This year the Retrospect is being dedicated to a group of persons who have faithfully supported the book for many years. To the Business Men of Wa-pakoneta we dedicate the Retrospect of 1941. Without them you would not be reading this publication today. The business men have never failed to support the Retrospect when the call was issued yearly for ads to help defray the expenses of the book. We the class of '41 at once recognized the part these men have played in making our book a yearly success. Not only have these men supported the Retrospect wholeheartedly, but whenever support was needed for our basketball, football, and baseball teams, the business men have always backed them favorably. We hope that the future classes of Blume High will be able to rely upon and appreciate their cooperation such as has been given to the activities of Blume High School this year and in the past years.

The senior class of 1941 wishes to express its gratitude to one who has so unselfishly given his time and effort in preparing us to meet the world with intelligence. For Mr. Humbert, who has been our principal for the past two years, has done much to help us find our place in future life. He is interested in everyone, kind, cheerful, and understands the problems by which American youth is faced. Mr. Simpson, as our superintendent, has done much for the welfare of Blume High School. He has willingly cooperated with the faculty and student body, achieving many worthwhile objectives. His is a big task which not many people could handle as well as he has since becoming our superintendent. The class of 1941 wishes to thank him for the kindness and generosity he has shown at all times throughout our school career. Mr. Humbert
