Jim Zozoarth has been active in school affairs. He has been sponsor of either the freshman or sophomore class for the past 30 years. He holds a membership in the Cambridge City Classroom Teachers association and is pre- sently serving on its legislative committee. He has served twice on the salary committee of the organization. He is a member of the Indiana Teachers association and The National Education asso- ciation.
The retiring teacher has served with six different school superin- tendents and seven high school principals. He has seen many changes take place in the schools. The system was enlarged to in- clude Dublin, Pershing and Cam- bridge City to form the Cam- bridge City-Jackson Twp. Schools.
The number of teachers has in- creased from 20 to 55. Salaries are more than six times what they were when he first began teach- ing. He believes that television & radio have given students a much broader horizon.
Mr. Bozoarth was married in June 1922 to Miss Dorothy Moore, daughter of Joseph and Flora Moore of this area. The Bozoarths have two children, Mrs. Joan Bry- son of Union County and David Michigan.
The retiring teacher and his wife Blair Bozoarth of St. Joseph, also have six grandchildren.
As Mr. Rozoarth looks back upon his teaching career, he feels one of the greatest compensations is to have former students tell him how much help he has been able to give them as they started ont in the world. His help has not ended in the high school science class, however. Some students call at the Bozoarth home for addi- tional tutoring ns they continue their education in college. He has been an inspiration to more stu- dents than he ever will know.
Mr. and Mrs. Bozoarth are in

good health and are looking for- ward to his retirement. He plans to garden, paint, do some travel- ing, fish and remodel his home. I don't really expect many idle hours," he remarked.
