15 Minutes with Jessica Rojas,
2014 AHS graduate
By Bailey Bowers
You just graduated from Ada High School this May and you’re headed to Ohio State Lima in the fall to major in pre-health. Tell us more about that.
I chose OSU because with the amount of times that I have had the opportunity to visit Lima’s campus, I have been able to see many of the amazing things I could do with the medical program. I plan on living at home for two years and then I will be moving to main campus to finish my program.
Four members of the 2014 Ada High School graduation class were recognized in the Apollo Career Center newsletter distributed this week.
Gene Geer, building maintenance major, received the Michael Emerick Scholarship and Zachary Rushing, carpentry major, received the Quandel Construction Group, Inc. Scholarship.
In addition, Brooke Long was recognized as a member of the Skills USA Apollo team that was a national competitor. Courtney Bailey was recognized as a member of HOSA.
The last meeting of the Hardin Co. Hootenannies was held at advisor Grant Mizek’s farm. President Megan Williams opened the meeting and asked Riley Fleece to lead the American Pledge and Callie Cromer to lead the 4-H Pledge. Roll call was taken by secretary Miranda Holbrook and she asked us to respond with our favorite farm animal. Eleven members were present.
T-shirt money was due today; however, Grant Mizek informed the members that he had a donor who wanted to pay for the member’s t-shirts. We were all thrilled by this kindness. We will have a thank you card ready for everyone to sign at our next meeting.
President Heather Cox called the weekly meeting of the Ada Kiwanis Club to order at 12:00 noon on Tuesday July1st in McIntosh Center, ONU.
The invocation was offered by Jon Umphress.

15 Minutes with Drew Crabtree, 2012 AHS Graduate

Where are you going to school and what are you studying?
I am currently attending The Ohio State University at Lima and I am majoring in Analytical Broadcasting and Practice with either a Music or Psychology minor. I am planning on making the campus change [to OSU’s main campus in Columbus] in the fall of 2015. When I get there, the plan is to stay in an apartment with a few of my Lima friends instead of living in a dorm. I already did that at Bowling Green, and I most certainly do not want to do that again.
