THE 1965 RAILROADER BRUNSWICK HIGH SCHGOL Brunswick, Maryland Volum

. 19' VJ is Zlnirnhutiiun In a one-room log cabin at the corner of Maple Avenue and B Street where the Baptist Annex is located, the public educational system of Brunswick began. The school was situated in this log cabin until 1868 when it was replaced by a one-room frame building which is pictured aboveas it was later used as a residence. This structure served the town until 1890 when Mr. W. W. Wermer donated an acre of land on Brunswick Street for the construction of a one-room brick school. Later a larger school was built, and it became known as the West Brunswick School. The year 1892 saw the donation by the B8tO Railroad Company of 2 acres of land at the corner of 6th Avenue and A Street. Upon this site a four-room brick structure was erected. This became known as the East Brunswick School. Prior to 1900, little had been done to establish a high school: but when Mr. C. W. Wright, the father of B.H.S., became a member of the Frederick County School Board, he pushed vigorously for the establishment of a high school. September 1900 saw this dream come true when a high school was begun in one room in the Westall Building with T. W. Troxell as principal. Again, in 1905, in- creasing needs brought about afour-room addition to the East Brunswick School where high school classes were conducted. After less than 10 years, increasing demands upon the school board caused them to begin a much larger high school on Sandy Hook Hill in 1911. This school endured until January 1928 when fire destroyed the building. Bur Brunswick was not to be without a high school, for September 1928 saw the completion of another school which has faithfully served un- til 1965. Once again the need for improvement has been realized and the most modern high school Brunswick has ever known is completed. And to paraphrase the class of 1911 when they were in a similar situation, while we looked forward with pleasant anticipation to the coming ofthe new home, may we now not fondly believe that the old, dingy, and com- monplace B.H.S. will continue to hold firstplace in the affections of the young men and women who have, during the past 36 years, passed in and out of its battered, weather-worn doors.
