N December IU, l777, George Rogers Clark laid his ambitious plans before the great governor of Virginia, Patrick Henry. The governor did not encourage Clark. I-le knew the impos- sibility of procuring enough men and supplies when all the man power and wealth of the colonies were absorbed in the armies of Washington. Young Clark persisted. Thomas Jefferson, George Mason, and George Wythe, who were called into council, evolved a plan which Gov- ernor l-lenry submitted to the Virginia Assembly. It was approved, and Clark was commissioned Lieutenant Colonel of the Virginia militia, with authority to draw twelve hundred pounds from the public treasury and to enlist seven companies of fifty men each. ARLY in 1900 the educational heads of Anderson saw the necessity of providing better educational facilities for the boys and girls of this city. In 1910 the present An- derson Senior High School building was dedi- cated. Today there are sixty-two teachers in the building, who have been employed by the ad- ministration to give instructions to one thou- sand three hundred and sixty-five students who seek knowledge and learning in order that they may have a firmer foundation on which to build their careers-their future.
