GWINNER SCHOOL HISTORY How fair its lawns And sheltering woods appear! How sweet its streamlet Murmurs in mine ear! —Wordsworth. Iu 1 !)()( plans for the building of our model mining town were completed and construction was begun. The natural beauty of the setting remained undisturbed, so that the town soon became noted for its picturesque scenery. ()ld settlers were proud of this “Garden S|x t of Michigan. All that was lacking was a modern school building. This was promptly erected in 1908. It was situated in the midst of a wide expanse of lawn that sloped to wooded groves of tall pines, elms, and birches on the banks of the winding east branch of the Escanaba river. The only addition which has been made to the structure since then is a wing which was built in 191n. 1 his is an indication of the cooperative attitude which the townspeople have always shown toward the school and its activities. Mr. and Mrs. C. G. White were the first superintendent and principal. Jane Pepin was the first and only student to graduate in 1!K)!I. Since then the following persons have filled the position of principal: Helen H. Law. Thomas IT Stitt. Jennie Trehilcock, I.awra Trebilcock. and Freda Earl (Mrs. Clayton Quavle). Mr. Leo MacDonald has proved a capable principal since 1921. Mr. A. M. Walsworth succeeded Mr. White as superintendent in 1914. He was followed by Mr. L. W. Stewart in 1915. Mr. Donald ()TIara has competently filled the position during the past nine years. All of the 195 former students who have graduated front our high school can justlv look back upon the days passed here as a happy time spent where golden friendships grew and where nature had laid her lovely hand.
