However, $5,000 was allocated to the purchase of books which will be available to the stu- dents next fall. The library has been used a great deal for study. Shown in above picture are co- librarians Carol Davis and Phyllis Deitsch. 730 0A9 fore The Cottage Bookstore, under the able operation of Mrs. Belknap and Mrs. Schelich, has been a great help to the stu- dents of W.O.E.F. Located adjacent to the school, it offers an ample supply of reference books, extracurricular reading material, and an abundance of school associated articles such as sweatshirts, bookcovers, etc. The bookstore has grown rapidly since its opening and is continuing to do so. 9711090 013 uaf yd? 37300122 The small room in the northwest corner of the sec- ond floor is used to house our audio-visual aids equip- ment and tape recorders.

Almost sixteen hours and fifty miles later, the weary six hikers struggled past the converted city limits of Ft. Wayne. The idea of the hike stemmed from a casual conversation in the student lounge and was stim- Looseh those muscles, and get a-going!

With the incentive of bankruptihg the resident director, all six completed the hike, but not before acquiring mountains of blisters and mas- sive vocabularies of oaths.

Z0 0. 6. :7 1b Wefrospecf A few short months ago, a collegiate atmosphere came to Celina, Ohio. It was not a spontaneously instituted idea, but was the result of careful planning by civic leaders, educators, and futute-mirtded citizens of Auglaize. Darke, Mercer and Van Wert Counties. The School of which we are now a part was born by many and reflects their interest and labors. There had previously been night classes of college accreditation offered at the Ce- lina High School by Ohio Northern University to interested area adults, but a greater need was seen for more adequate facilities and a broader scope of subjects. From this assertion, W.O.E.F. was begotten. A site, the primary need of the planners, was secured through a generous agreement with the Celina Insurance Group, who leased their old business building to the Board of Trustees. Ohio Northern University provided the professors and accreditation. Businesses and residents of the four-county area were called upon to make donations towards the promotion of the college. The original goal of $15, 000 was changed to $25, 000 which was surprisingly surpassed by an end result of $50, 000. This was an example of the in- dustriousness of the civic-minded people of the area. After many months of work and frustration, the only remaining factor was the enroll- ment of the college. This problem was solved when a total of 285 students enrolled for the fall quarter; 283 for the winter quarter; and, 252 for the spring quarter. Courses in liberal arts, pte-engineering, pre;law, elementary and secondary educa- tion and business administration are offered at the college. A $20. 000 biology lab is being installed to provide more adequate facilities in the science area. It would be an impossible task to set forth on this page the names of the many per- sons responsible for the success of the college, so it shall be regarded as a community project with outlying villages and towns assisting strenuously. Everyone connected with W. O. E.F. is in unanimous agreement that the college will undoubtedly continue to enlarge, continue to meet the rising needs of a college educa- tion. and continue to turn out better citizens in the area. 97 may 75am We wish to express our sincere appreciation to photographer Jim Osborne for graciously giving his time and assistance in obtaining the pictures shown in this yearbook. We would also like to thank the New Idea Corporation for the film it generously furnished. Without these generous contributions, the publication of this yearbook would not have been possible.
