Our six children attended EHS and had Mr. Sluss for History. They all greatly admired him. Our son, Bill, worked closely with Mr Sluss in 84-85 as editor of yearbook. As a school board member, I sat in on one of his classes, and left wishing I could be there every day, as he made history come to life. Mr. Sluss was a great asset to the Elida Schools.
