Board of Education The members of t'rf- Board ol lirlncaiion remain the same this year as last. Vtfhen these men took their places on the school board we knew that they would do all in their power to place XVauseon as high on the map of learn-H 'ng rs possible and all expectations were realized. For their efforts have never ceased nor slackened. The Senior Class, going out from the reall.. of the Wauseon High School desires to extend a vote of thanks and their best Wishes to the members of the lloard . Lecture Course The Lecture Course of 1918-IQ consisted of six numbers. The Hrst num! ber was given by Arthur NValwin Evans, in a very timely and up-to-date lecture entitled VVhat America Means to Me Mr. livans was followed by the Tschaikowsky Quartette, four artists of musical ability. The third number on the program was the Bertha Farner Company consisting of a Violinist, Celloist Piano accompanist and Miss lfarner, Soprano. Margaret Stahl a very dramatic reader and interpreter, nlled our fourth n rmber with the presentation of tl-c play entitled Country Cousin , our regular course ending with a very solid yet entertaining lecture entitled Dead Lions by Lincoln McConnell.

The Faculty Like many other institutions the High School has had to male: several tlxangcs in its lc aficrs or. account olf the war. We still find Mr. Altstetter carrying on the work of Superintendent and teaching civics and part of the history. It was necessary however, to ifind a man to fill the position of Principal. Mr. F. I. Lust, a graduate of Heidel- burg University was decided upon as the best man for the place. Mr. Lust taught science and agriculture and also coached the basket ball teams. We are sorry to say that in the early part of the second semester he was forced to give up his position on account of ill health. The vacancy thus made has been well filled by C. M. Sims, an Ohio State man and former High School Principal Miss Jessie Wolcott tOberlin and Columbiaj has continued to have charge of all the English work except the first year classes. Miss NVolcott has also taught Sociology and has been a leader of the Girl Scouts as well as the Girl's League. The rest of the English work tfirst yearj together with effective speaking has been under the supervision of Miss Edith Burford fHei- delburg Universityj Miss Burford has again had charge of the oratory and debating. One of our new mathematics teachers is Miss Florence Bennett tOberlinJ who has also taught biology and part of the French. Our other new mathematics teacher, Miss Anne Olga Smith fHeidelburg Universityj has had charge of the greater part of the algebra classes and chemistry. Soon after school opened it was found that Miss Bnnett and Miss Smith would not have time to hear all of the classes in mathematics. So Mrs. Sims QNVestern Reservej was called from leer domestic duties t-1 ln-lp -uit. All latin and first year French together with Physical Geography is handled by Miss Helen Grimm, a graduate of Ohio State University. ' It was necessary to secure a new instructor for the Home Economics department, and the School Board succeeded in obtaining Miss Agnes Marks fMichigan State Normal Ypsilanti, Mich.j who has handled the work very well. Considering the scarcity of teachers and the nu-mber of changes nec- pssalrly, our school board is to be congratulated upon its wise selection of eac ers.
