I - 'st .' a W - . g t 'Rigi- WHARTON SCHOOL HISTCRY The first school building in Wharton was located just north of the present school building where Mr. Sout, our superintendant, now lives. X In 1870 a new building was erected on Nlmin street on the lots where Mrs, Martha Passet's and Nelson Wickiser's homes stand. The first, second, and third grades occupied the lower floor of the brick building. and the seventh, eighth, and ninth grades occupied the upper floor. The frame building, which was moved across the street and is now used asa. wr- bin's garage, was occupied by the fourth, fifth, and sixth grades. In these buildings some of the mothers and fathers of the class of 1942 received a part of their education. The first and only graduates were Ray Bristoll and Rea Cramer. Through the efforts of A. O. Suber a new building was chartered in 1903, and it wa: ready for use in the fall of 1905. This new szhool was located just west of the present building. ' . In 1922 the' new centralized school buil ling was opened for classes. The old building was destroyed by fire in 1928. The following summer three additional rooms were added to the new school building. O. A. Suber was superintendent until 1914. Since then our superintendents have been as follows: E. A. Baughman, E. L. Hartley, N. Younger, H. B. Zulauf, Dale Heskett. L. F. Manhart. R. K. Derrickson and George Stout. A picture of the school house, in the year of 1870, can be found in this annual. . .. as- . .- nee, 1, .-.

SCHOOL BOARD Behind every successful school there is a capable and hard-working school board. To the Board of Education of Wharton Village School we, the class of 1942, extend our sincere appreciation of their faithful services in making our school days a pleasant memory. 1 The Board of Education consists of live members. They are as follows: Rea Cramer, president: Garman Fehnel, vice-president: Howard Cole, clerk: Paul Sec- rist and Tracy Baker. Mr. Cramer has served on the board for sixteen years: Mr. Fehnel, fourteen years: Mr. Secrist, ten years: -and Mr. Cole, one year. H. P. Brashares, who retired after serving on the board of education for twenty-one years, was replaced, in the November election, 1941, by Tracy Baker. sur G Q 'A' i' 'k BUS DRIVERS - Thanks to all the bus drivers who faithfully brought us to school and car- ried us home safely after our day's work. Their courtesy in .taking us to basket- ball games is much appreciated. During the year of 1941-42 the busses were driven by the following men: Richard Earp, Paul Horner, Bill Murray and Allen DeVene. i' 'A' 'Ir JANITGR Q Few students really appreciate the work of the janitor. It is his duty to keep the school house clean, comfortable, and warm. In Ross Murray we have a good-natured and dependable janitor. He has a big job in keeping the school house in order, but he does it in a commendable way, and Mr. Murray is deserving of any praiseahe may receive.
