It now will go on to national competition in Washington. For- rest’s presentation was on a fire at the Cleveland Clinic in 1929 that killed 123 people. This will be the third straight year St. Michael School has sent a student to the national competition. Other students from the school who took part in the state event were Megan Goshe, Michael Daniels, Katie Driscoll, Koen Sauer and Jordan Vais. Ohio History Day is sponsored by the Ohio History Connection (the former Ohio Historical Society) and takes place each year at Ohio Wesleyan University in Delaware. This year’s theme for contest entries was “Triumph and Tragedy.” In their contest entries, students made conclusions, found examples, and identified connections from their historical research of specific topics.
