GEORGETOWN TOWNSHIP HIGH SCHOOL For almost one hundred years Georgetown has been a center of secondary education in Eastern Illinois. The first educational plant for this purpose was a seminary under the auspices of the Methodist Church and was located on the site of the present Seminary Building. Later the Washington Building and the Seminary Building each saw years of service in education beyond the elementary schools. Thus the Georgetown Township High School began its career with a rich heritage. Now that it is twenty-two years old, it, too, has its memories. For although it has very little ivy on its walls or carving on its desks, it is nevertheless dear to the hearts of many alumni and old students. Already a few of the first graduates have children who are graduates of the same institution, and many of the members of the present high school body have parents who have been connected with the school. May it continue to be dear to the hearts of the children of the community, and the boys and girls who go out from its influence.

In Memoriam Mr. Rees was connected with the schools of Georgetown for thirty years, as a teacher, principal, superintendent, and president of the high school board of education, and in each of these offices he worked for the betterment of the youth of Georgetown, morally, intellectually, and spiritually. His kindly nature, his unusual personality and his upright living left an impression upon all who came in contact with him. He will be missed in the schools and the community, but we trust that the example he set before us may never be lost.
