9 KHAKI AND BLUE, '18 ' High School History EFURE turning ally more pages of this won- derful book, let us pause just a while and learn something of the past of our dear Alma Mater, G. H. S. 'VVay back in the eighties Georgetown supported a school, which was known as the George- town Seminary. That was the school our fathers, mothers a11d, perhaps, grandfatliers and grand- mothers, attended. Many are the exciting, yet ever interesting tales that they relate of those school days. In a few years school was held in the new grade building, and continued to be held here for several years. As the years passed by and the enrollment increased, new teachers, new courses, and finally a new building were necessary. Arrangements were thereby made for a new building which, when erected, would be no longer Georgetown High School, but rather Georgetown Township High School. During the 'erection of the present school building, school was held in the old Methodist church, and many are tl1e good times enjoyed by the stu- dents While attending school there. Finally, in February, 1915, the new building was completed and the student body moved into the handsome new structure. More ample room called for more courses and new teachers, and accordingly tl1e following fall of 1915 new courses were added, and new teach-ers supplied. In the year 1915-'16, teachers of History, Ger- man, English and Commercial courses were added, making our faculty number eight, with Mr. Rees as principal. Mr. Rees has faithfully served as princi- pal for a number of years, and while other members of the faculty appear and disappear, he remains with us. . The year 1917-'18 brought the necessity of three more new instructors, since our History teacher, and one of our English teachers could not be with us again. The addition of an X-Ray machine to the Physics department has made our equipment more complete, and this year Domestic Science and Man- ual Training were introduced for the first. time in G. H. S. history. The aim of our school is to stand for all that is right, noble and uplifting, and to fit our young men and women socially for the life upon which they will enter. With the following board members: Dr. Fletcher, president, D. H. Bowen, A. W. Haworth, G. W. Satterfield, James L. White, Will McMahon, and Frank Morris, combined with our splendid fac- ulty of eight members, we cannot help but send our graduates forth possessing a Wider and nobler out- look on life, and better equipped for joyous and ser- viceable living.
