GLASS OF 1914
Largest Class To Graduate In The
History of WauseOn High School
The Number is hirty-three-The
Events of Commencement Week.

The class of 1914 of the Wauseon
High School is the largest in the his
tory of the school and as an indica-
ton Of the growth and progress OF
our town and as well as an indication
of the development of the school in
the last fifteen years, it is fact in
which every public spirited citizen
of Wauseon may take a justifable
pride. 1t is as fine group of wide
awake young men and women as can
be found in any town or city In this
or any other state in the nation and
threre need be no fears of these
young people reflecting credit and
honor upon their home town in the
| future. The teachers of the schools
and the Board of Education deserve
the thanks of every citizen for the
splendid work they are doing in the
schools.
The events of Graduation week be-
gan with the class sermon which was
delivered by Rev. ]. H. Williams
pastor of the United Bretheren
church on Sunday evening at the
Methodist church. No evening SER
vices were held in any of the other
churches and the large auditorium OF
| the Methodist church was filled to the
full extent of it's capacity even stand
| ing room was all taken and many
who came turned away when they
found no room. The occasion demon
strated the need of a larger audi
torium for just such occasions. No
one church in town is large enough
| to accommodate the combined cOngre-
e III oh, hac ND ,Y1
such occasions as that of Sunday
might, there is no suitable room in town
in which all who wish to attend such
meeting can be gathered. The same
need was demonstrated again on
Tuesday and Wednesday evenings
when the Class play was given on two
evenings in order to accommodate as
many as possible of those who wished
to witness it. Rev. ], H. Williams
gave the graduates some very prac-
tical advice on the life building in
which they are engaged. The musical
PROGRAM of the evening was both in
spring and uplifting.
The Senior class have given test
of their mettle both in the Annual
which they have issued and in the
play they presented, the first, so far
as subject matter and arrangement
are concerned compares very favorab-
ly with similar volumes put out by the
students of many of the higher edu.
cational institutions and the second
was a play that is not often attempt
ed by a body of High School Stud
ents. The class was coached for the
play by Miss Lytle of Kings School
Eof Oratory of Pittsburg, Pa, and the
class certainly did credit to their in
structor in the manner in which they
| interpreted this masterpiece OF
Shakespear "a Midsummer Nights
| Dream"
Fitting indeed it was that the an
nual address should be given by
Judge Safer of Columbus, under
whose superintendency of the public
schools of Wauseon the High schoo
had its beginning. We go to press
too early to include in this article
any of Judge Sater's expressed
thoughts but-we know that they
were worth while. Friday evening oc.
ours the Annual Alumni Banquet anc
the graduating exercises Of the 1914
class of the w. H. S. will have pass
ed into history. The best wishes of u:
all for the happiness, prosperity ant
progress of every member OF this
class go with them whatever may be
their future course. They are oul
boys and girls the product Of oul
town and we believe that we are just
ifiied in the pride we take in them.
