Time Goes By ... . Blacksmith and Wabasis Indians used to have the run of the land now covered by our city of Greenville At that time it was an extensive forest filled with wildlife and lakes where the Indians fished Flat River flowed peacefully on towards Lowell where it emptied into Grand River just as it does today. There is no doubt but what Indian children splashed and played in the shallow water, for the Indian village was right on the river bank. This was the life until 1844, when John Green brought his family to this locality, and built a half-roof shanty. At first there was not a white neighbor within six miles but soon after the Joshiah Russell family moved in to become Green's neighbors. Thus our town had started. In 1867 the settlement had grown to the extent w'here it was incorporated as the village of Greenville, named after John Green, the first white settler. The first school, an imposing structure tw'elve by sixteen feet in dimensions and eight feet high, w'as opened in 1845, on the corner of Lafayette and Washington Streets where our city hall now is. Miss Katherine Saterlee was the first teacher. For her salary she received the startling sum of nine shillings a week and the right to board at the homes of her pupils, w'ho numbered twenty-five, including six Indian children. At this time Greenville w'as important in the lumbering industry. Familiar sounds then were the clankings of chains, the stamping of massive horses and the song of the saw. The river now had a heavier load than before — it carried thousands of immense rough logs just cut, floating down the mill on the river bank. The town spread northward and more schools were built. Our present High School on Union Street was completed in 1869, at an approximate cost of thirty thousand dollars, and was later entered on the university list. Since Greenville was a small village at that time, the structure seemed rather large and expensive. It has since been partially burned, and a gymnasium and other pans have been added. In 1936 the new building was added with one of the largest and best arranged gymnasiums in the state. In 1942 Greenville High School suffered another fire which destroyed the auditorium. However, a crew of carpenters had a beautiful new auditorium and session hall complete for us when school started again in the fall of that same year. Wouldn't Miss Katherine Satterlee and John Green be amazed if they could w'ander through the halls of G. H. S. today? How different the noise of our modern shop and typing room would be compared to the hissing of the old coal stove at the back of their school. Truly we have progressed from the original twelve by sixteen school of Tim Burr's time, to the thousands of square feet of space which hundreds of students occupy today. {7}
