John Wallace Whitmer John Wallace Whitmer, a well-known educator, is the man for whom Whitmer Senior High School was named. He was born in 1877 and died in Flower Hospital on November 15, 1960. He began his teaching career in 1899 and in 1915 was named Lucas County superintendent of schools. It was while serving as county superintendent that Whitmer High School was named in his honor. In 1924 township residents and teachers approached Mr. Whitmer to ask that a high school be provided in the area. Mr. Whitmer agreed that a Wash¬ ington Township high school was vital and soon classes were started in the basement of Wernert school. In 1928 the original Whitmer High was opened and in 1960 the new building was also named Whitmer. Although Mr. Whitmer was unable to attend the formal dedication of the new Whit¬ mer High School on November 6, 1960 he sent his best wishes and expressed hopes that he might visit it yet. 1877—1960 Formal Dedication — November 6, 1960 Mr. Clyde Elder presents class presidents Brian Jenne, James Counts, and Bill Hankforth the shovel used in the ground breaking ceremony. 6
