&#13;
Mr. Ervin F. Carlisle, after whom this school is named, had an outstand-&#13;
&#13;
ing career in education and community service. Mr. Carlisle, after a long illness,&#13;
&#13;
passed away at his home at the age of 46.&#13;
&#13;
Mr. Carlisle's civic activities spanned all his years here since his graduation&#13;
&#13;
from the Ohio Wesleyan University in 1931, when he came to Willis High School&#13;
&#13;
as football coach and teacher. Possibly his foremost civic achievement was his chair-&#13;
&#13;
manship of the City Charter Commission that promoted the city charter form of&#13;
&#13;
government. This resulted in a successful election and the eventual hiring of Dela-&#13;
&#13;
ware's first city manager.&#13;
&#13;
From 1931 until 1934, Mr. Carlisle served as football coach and teacher.&#13;
&#13;
In 1934 he became principal of Willis High School and in 1937 received his M.A.&#13;
&#13;
degree from the Ohio State University.&#13;
&#13;
He served as acting superintendent of the Delaware City Schools while the&#13;
&#13;
present superintendent, David R. Smith, was in service during the war years. Mr.&#13;
&#13;
Carlisle was instrumental in the establishing and operation of a defense training school&#13;
&#13;
here during the early years of the World War II.&#13;
&#13;
Mr. Carlisle left his school position in 1945 to enter the insurance business.&#13;
&#13;
Because of his valuable school experience and since he was needed, he agreed to run&#13;
&#13;
and was elected to the Board of Education in 1949. He served as president in 1953.&#13;
&#13;
His willingness to serve kept Mr. Carlisle very busy. He served as director&#13;
&#13;
of ushers at the Asbury Methodist Church for more than 15 years.&#13;
&#13;
While serving as chairman of the industrial division of the Community &#13;
&#13;
Chest, he developed the payroll deduction plan which greatly contributed to the&#13;
&#13;
success of the campaigns.&#13;
&#13;
Mr. Carlisle headed the school division of the Jane M. Case Hospital ex-&#13;
&#13;
pansion campaign. He also served as chairman of industry in several Red Cross&#13;
&#13;
drives. Mr. Carlisle was the founder of the Youth Recreation Center, active in&#13;
&#13;
Boy Scout work, and was chairman for several years for the Scout financial drive.&#13;
&#13;
Mr. Carlisle was a past director of the Chamber of Commerce. He was&#13;
&#13;
president of the Delaware Development Corporation which assisted in bringing new&#13;
&#13;
industries to Delaware. He was a member and past director of the local Kiwanis&#13;
&#13;
Club. He was also a member of Hiram Lodge Number 18, F. and A. M. and the&#13;
&#13;
Elks and Moose Lodges.&#13;
&#13;
It is only fitting that this new school, dedicated to the service of young&#13;
&#13;
people, is named the Ervin F. Carlisle School. Mr. Carlisle's life like the school&#13;
&#13;
was dedicated to both young and old in education and service. He was a dedicated&#13;
&#13;
man, unselfish to the end.</text>
