1986 Thronatees-ka Staff joins with the Albany High School student body to commemorate a hundred years of public education in Dougherty County. The desire for some form of public education in Albany resulted in a campaign in 1885 to raise $5,000, the amount considered necessary for the construction of a school building. This campaign was initiated by H. M. McIntosh, the editor of the Albany News and Advertiser, the only newspaper in Albany at that time. $3,500 was raised in a short time, and the City Council appropriated the remaining $1,500 needed for the project. The City Council appointed a commission, composed of L. E. Welch, Sr., T. M. Carter, and H. M. McIntosh, to erect the building. The lot on the northwest corner of Flint and Madison Streets was purchased from the late Col. Nelson Tift at a price well below the market value. On this site, the new school, named the Albany Academy, was built and opened for the fall term in 1886. The building was two stories in height but none of the second floor was utilized. The entire high school consisted of only one class room. G. J. Orr served as principal of the new school, and S. P. Orr was assistant principal. Miss Belle Bacon was the teacher of the primary grade.

ALMA MATER SONG Here’s to you, dear Alma Mater, to whom our love is due. And though we meet all others, our faith is tried and true. With ot her colors waving, no matter what their sheen, We love you Alma Mater of the Orange and the Green. We leave you now, dear Mater, but you forever stay, Your columns proud and noble halls shall claim our love for aye. Through the years that lie before us mid every festive scene. We’ll still see proudly gleaming here--the Orange and the Grfeen. So to you dear Alma Mater, we raise our parting song. This loyal class of 17--your sons and daughters strong. We give to you all honor--though years may roll between. Still brightly glow the memories of the Orange and the Green. ■ ■■■■■■ ■ ■ ■ i —......
