T H E K E Y S T o N E History of the Greene-Dreher Vocational School HE first High School in Dreher township was organized in the Fall of 1901, with a two years' course. Its first principal was Grace Shaffer Perham, now Assistant County Superintendent. As a result the first graduating class appeared in 1903. At this time the course was lengthened to three years. The school con- tinued its routine with this method until 1916, when a vocational school was organized. The vocational school provided a Home Making course for the girls, and a course in Agriculture for the boys. Upon the establishment of the vocational school Greene and Drener townships combined. This action manifested a progressive step in educa- tion for our section of the county. As a result of the consolidation a greater number of pupils derive benefits of advanced education and can qualify themselves for colleges and higher institutions of learning. Each year the enrollment has increased until all the available space is being utilized. We feel confident as time rolls on, and new classes come and go, that the standard of the work increases even higher and the good work and reputation of our alma mater will be maintained. Our school with the co- operation of the community will become a vital part of the very life of the community, and the results are obvious. 12
