'T I-I E NAUTILU Sa Prof. Hughes VROF. MORRISON continued as superin- tendent of schools until the spring of 1801, five years. He was replaced by Prof. Ifdxvin L. Hughes in the fall of 1891. Prof. Hughes served the system for twenty-five years, never receiving more than 51,800 per year for his services. However, he did manage to get his teachers' pay raised from S35 per month to 31350 per month for nine months. VVhen Prof. Hughes came to District 17, there were only three school buildings, two for white pupils and one for colored. There were seven white schools and two colored ones when he left the system. These in- cluded Central Cnow the present high schooll, Oaklawn, Pinlcney, Park, Camper- dovvn Mill schools, as well as the buildings of Chicora college for white children, and Union and Allen for colored. Nine hundred pupils were enrolled in the district on his arrival, while the system boasted an enrollment of over 4,000 upon his departure. Only seven grades were listed at the outset of his term. Three addi- tional grades were added before he left. His first graduation class numbered 19, while it had grown to 60 at the completion of his Hnal yea1'. Prof. Hughes specialized in music during his superintendency, his school being one of the first in the state to employ a special music teacher. He organized the first band in the city schools, composed of twenty-one pieces. The musicians were outfitted in natty red and black uniforms and were transported from place to place in an up- to-date band wagon. An orchestra was also organized while he was superintendent. Debating teams and literary societies were added to the extra-curricular program during his regime. He was also instru- mental in adding domestic science courses to the curriculum of the city schools, Prof. Hughes has served as a Chautauqua lecturer, as an editorial writer for the Greenville News, as superintendent of the Greenville City Hospital, and as a special- ist in geographical work since leaving the district. He is now living with his daughter, Mrs. J. P. Mallard, in Sumter, South Caro- lina.

CTI-IE NAUTILUSQi Dr. Mann DR, JAMES L. MANN, beloved and well- versed leader of the Greenville city schools, ends his twenty-second brilliant year this spring. He succeeded Prof. Hughes as superintendent of District 17 in April, 1916. He came from a similar position in the Greensboro, North Carolina, city district after having previously served in the same capacities at Lancaster and Florence, South Carolina. When Dr. Mann accepted tl1e superin- tendency of the Greenville district, he found only six school buildings, four white and two colored. These structures were known as Central, Oaklawn, Park, Pinkney twhitej schools, and Allen and Union tcoloredj schools. Approximately 4,000 students were enrolled at that time. The high school, known as Central school then, consisted of only ten grades in 1916. He added another grade the fol- lowing year and graduated his hrst senior class in the spring of IQI7, a class of seven girls. Personnel of this class, the first eleventh-grade group, included Elizabeth Bagwell, treasurer, Helen Barkshadt, secre- tary, Mary Seyle, editor of the school annual, Lucy NVare, Virginia Thomason, and Augusta Walton. The name of the high school was changed from Central High to Greenville High upon the installation of departments and proper equipment several years later, the exact date being hard to determine. The physical education department was organized under Dr. Mann's supervision, with Jay Couch as the First paid athletic director. Couch was followed by Cow- boy Coleman. J. H. Spec-dy Speer, the ff XX iwwzls 5 e fii present head coach, succeeded Coleman in the fall of 1928. At the completion of this year, 1937-38, his twenty-second as superintendent of the Greenville city district, Dr. Mann will have seen his student enrollment leap from 4,000 to around I0,000. He has also been in- strumental in the building of the equivalent of 24 new buildings. These new ediiiees include Donaldson, Stone, Stone Avenue, John Street Number One, john Street Junior High school, Billy Cleveland, Hayne, Camperdown, Anderson Street, Augusta Circle, Poinsett, Overbrook, old Greenville High School, new Greenville Senior High school, Oscar Ccoloredj, Sullivan Street Ccoloredb, Sterling High Ccoloredj, and annexes to old Greenville High, Park, Pinkney, Hayne schools, as well as renova- tions at Augusta Circle, Allen Ccoloredj, and Union Ccoloredj schools. Dr. Mann has graduated over 3,000 seniors from Greenville High school, cul- minated by the 390 who will finish their high school careers this spring. Five principals have served Linder Dr. Mann. They follow in the order of their appearance: M. E. Brockman, now super- intendent of the Chester QSouth Carolinal city schools, W. F. Warren, now super- intendent of the Durham CNorth Carolina! schools, W. F. Lockett, now head of a boys' school at Louisville, Kentucky, W. F. Loggins, former superintendent of the Sumter CSouth Carolinal city schools who recently resigned to return to the Greenville city district as assistant superintendent and director of secondary education, and A. J. Parkhurst, who retires at the close of this year. L'x .711 1 I 1, ,. f x,JJ
