9-+-L.-SJ giwagfzlia 27 f+ f A 9 eff 9 grounds. The high school and eighth grade moved into this Seminary building and the faculty was increased to nine members. Mr. O. P. Rees took charge of the high school at this time and con- tinued as principal for sixteen years, during which time he did much toward raising the school to its present high standard. At the beginning of his principalship the high school course was outlined to meet the en- trance requirements of the University of Illinois. In 1912 when the new township high school was organized he was retained as principal and he saw the school make a steady growth under his leadership. By the removal of the high school work, the crowded conditions in the grades were relieved for a time but increased enrollment has since then made it necessary to build first an addition to the Seminary building and finally a new building called the Frazier school. In 1921 Mr. Ward N. Black was elected principal of the high school and in 1924 he was put at the head of all the s-chools of the city. Since he became principal the high school has more than doubled in enrollment and the grade schools have continued in their growth. For the year 1927 the enrollment was 225 for the high school and 923 for the grade schools. The high school had a faculty of twelve teachers and the grades had three prin- cipals and thirty-one other teachers. Georgetown has a school system of THE EAST which she is justly proudg the Work done is of high grade and the spirit in town and school is good. ANAISQX CAMPUS The first hundred years have been years of progressg the fu- HOUSE ture should be marked by a contin- ued develop- ment in ev- ery depart- ment of the THE Georgetown Schools.

BOWEN The Board of Education ALBERT is a mere infant on this board as he was only elected last year. He is an alumnus of Georgetown, of the class of 1915, and a promin- ent farmer of the community. JIM has been a member of the high school board ever since there was one and has been president since 1921. He is deeply interested in the affairs of the school and always has our best interests at heart. AL, a member of the class of 1911, is secretary of the board and assistant cashier of the First National Bank. He's the most popular member of the board as far as the teachers are concerned because he's the man who makes out the checks. HURLEY is one of the best looking members of the board. He is head of the Henry Hardware Co. and one of the prominent business men of Georgetown. BILL is another old timer having grown up with the history of the high school. If you doubt the safety of your job, you might let him sell you some insurance. DOC, Georgetown's dentist, has been on the board three years. Sometimes it is important to have a pull with him. DAVE also has seen long service on the board. He has always been in- terested in us even if he did go off to Florida this year.
