l A. M. Barber G. Scott Roos We must remember that the position cn the board is practically without remuxneia- tion. It is a service rendered willingly and! in too many cases a service not long re- membered. However we must not overlook the fact that these men are our fellow ,citizensg 'Iheyhave their personal interests. to take care of and what ever they do for the schools, all the time spent in bettering them, is out side of their individlual welfare. Men of this type willing and' capable of rendlering some service to their com- munity are the real citizens of a town and! in a large measure form the foundation of the American Commonwealth. We do not mean by this that a man must serve on a school board in order that he -may fulfill his obligations as a good citizen.. 'The idea we wish you to get is this, if the schcol board or any other board for thta matter actually accomplishes good things .for goodness! sakei let us give it credit for them. If it fails to make good, let us remember that it is our privilege to secruire men who will succeedl. The High School of Waiuseon is a unified! body in opinion .concerning the board, and we standl back of it because, as most High School students would say, they have given us a square deal. W. S.

X I Carl Orth P. M. Clingaman The Board of Education A gocdl high school depends most of all upon an interested school board. Any school board' is judged by the things which it dloes and the amount of confidence which it can comm'and from its school. A This year we have had absolute faith in our board. This confidence has not been misplaced, for all through the school year our board has stuck to the ship and has done its very best for the Wauseon schools .During the school term there have been many trials and! disappointments which had to be met squarely. Not once did: the board fail to do the right thing, The president of the board, Dr. Ed Cole has been constantly alert 'and has kept in close touch with the progress of the schools, and due to his efforts .much has been accomplished. The other members of the board, M1'. G. Scott Roos, Mr. Carl Orth, Mr. Peter Clingaman and Mr. Allen BarL.r complete the force which has. worked so harmoniously for our interests, Generally the annuals give but little space in mentioning the School Board, but wie have learned to appreciate a good one and we feel that it has never 1'eceivd its just ilhlflllllt of consideration.

The Faculty This year we have found it a man's job to keep a fully recruited fac- ulty. In fact if many more of our teachers left us, we would have none about whom to write. Commencing with Mr. Altstetter our former superintendent, allow us to say that we hope he is rapidly recovering from his illness. We were certainly lucky in having an S. P. Johnson to take charge so efficiently after Mr. Altstetter went away. We wonder if the public is acquainted with the facts that for a long time Mr. Johnson taught during all the seven periods of the day without an increase of salaryg we are wondering if you people can account for the general efficiency of the Wauseon schools, for ' the interest in all the branches of Work, and for the spirit which helped us along? There is not one of us that could not profit from his example, for he took each new duty and added responsibility without a complaint. Mr. Johnson has worked with one purpose in mind and that purpose was to better our schools. He has accomplished very much and we feel that the opinion of Wauseon is that he is capable of doing much more. ' Mr. Rinehart, our principal during the first half of the school year was a disappointment to all. There have been but few men in our school who have taken more interest in athletics and all the other school activi- ties. Mr. Rinehart was wellliked by all and he was a good mathematics teacher, but he lost our respect when he left us in such a brief manner. Miss Wolcott is the most reliable member of the faculty. This is not slighting any of the other faculty members in the least, for if they would learn to love the Wauseon High School as we know Miss Wolcott loves it then they too would deserve this recognition. We believe that in the Girls Scout and Girls League work together with her personal interest in everybody, she has iniiuencedl more lives than the majority of teachers. She is always ready to help wherever her services are needed and because of this together with the other things that we have mentioned, we will always love and reverence Miss Wolcott as a true and loyal friend. It is not our desire to make these personal mentions autoblographies but as this is our last chance, to pass a few remarks we intend to make the most of our opportunities- Everybody was sorry to see Miss Burford leave Wauseon and most of us were rather disappointed because she did not remain with us until the end of the school year. During the few years that she was connected with
