Records show that Hon. F. C. Stephen- son was the first teacher, beginning in 1855; he taught in a one-room log cabin that was a pri- vate dwelling. HARTWELL'S FIRST HIGH SCHOOL The first school house erected in Hartwell was a one room hulled-in frame building. The lot on which the building was originally located had been donated by the town authorities as a lot for a female academy. Later a house consisting of a long, large room with a chimney at each end was built and the school building was attached as an ell to the new part. This building was used until 1888. This building was moved from West Howell Street to Franklin Street and is still in use as a residence. In September, 1887, a movement for a new school building for the town was launched. A very suitable wood building was erected at a cost of about $7,500. This building, the Hart- well Institute, served well until Thursday, Janu- ary 24, 1907, when it was accidentally de- stroyed by fire while school was in session. HARTWELL HIGH SCHOOL This fire was a great loss, but archi- tects were employed to submit plans and soon an up-to-date structure cost- ing $20,000 was erected on the same site. It was known as Hartwell High School and would supposedly serve for many years to come, but not so; it became too crowded. OF GROWTH A bond election was called for a $40,000 bond issue ond was carried with so little opposition it was not noticeable. An additional building was built about 100 yards down the street and the two stood side by side until the older one burned on Christmas Eve of 1934. In a newspaper item announcing the official opening of our present high school building, among other things stated was: It has 16 class rooms, an auditorium seating 800, and has been declared by State school authorities to be one of the most modern school buildings in Georgia. In addition, there is the library, laboratory, shower bath, and every other convenience for a real school. HART COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL This building was fast outgrown. The library was converted to a class room, the auditorium was made into a library and lunch room. An auditorium-gymnasium and two elementary buildings have also been constructed to accommodate the ever-increasing school population. While our building hasn't burned, it has been condemned by the State Building Authority and during the latter part of February, 1955, the ground was broken for a modern 28 room building costing approximately $376,500. This building will soon be ready for occupancy and it will surely improve the facilities for education in Hart County. ONE OF THE CLASSROOM WINGS THE AUDITORIUM AND A CLASS ROOM WING BUILDING ... AIR VIEW OF THE ENTIRE SCHOOL Foreword The staff hopes as the pages of the 1956 MEMOIR are turned they will echo unforgettable memories of an old building which has played a major role in the education of Hart County youth for many years. We want you to remember the progress made during the construction of a new building which will play an even greater role in education. For this reason we have chosen Building as our theme and shall attempt to show that education is a full time and vital job for students, teachers, and parents. Our theme is especially appropriate as it commemorates the one hundredth anniversary of the first school in Hart County. Too, we shall try in some small measure to express a sincere THANK YOU to everyone who helped give us this wonderful new school. We, the staff, will have reached our goal if this annual, in years to come, fulfills its name. Mr. Jere Ridgway Page Six SALUTE MRS. ELIZABETH VICKERY TEACHER OF THE YEAR Hart County High School Poge Nine HART COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL E. C. MARTIN, PRINCIPAL HARTWELL, GEORGIA Dear Friends: All of us are looking forward to the time when we shall have a new, well-equipped county high school building. May I take this opportunity to emphasize the. fact that more than a building is required to produce the well-rounded citizen that is necessary, if education is to be justified. We must continue to recognize new opportunities which will improve our learning situation. We must continue to search for ways to create the desire to learn. We must be mindful of the adjustments necessary to adapt ourselves to a constantly changing world. It is my hope that the new high school can fill its place in this county, within the scope of its possibilities, in such a way that all the citizens of the county can say with just pride that the school is meeting the needs of the pupils. Through the continued pupil, parent, and teacher cooperation that is evidenced in Hart County, the schools will be sure to bring credit to our County. Yours sincerely. FACULTY AND FRIENDS MRS.

ELIZABETH VICKERY MRS. EVELYN VICKERY Band Fifth Grode First Grade Social Science Fourth Grade The principal is responsible for the supervision and guidance of the entire school program, the planning of the curriculum, supervision of teachers and lunchroom pro- gram, and the internal financing of the school. The library has approximately 3,000 books including fiction, non-fiction, and ref- erence material. We subscribe to 35 maga- zines, two daily newspapers, and the local weekly newspaper. The librarian is also in charge of the audio-visual equipment. About 65 educational films are shown weekly. All these things serve to supplement every field of the entire school program as well as to provide reading pleasure for many student's leisure time. Miss Ayers is faculty adviser for the Library Club. It is the goal of the French Department to develop a foundation in French which will be a background for further study of the languages and sciences and to create a love for words in general. Mrs. Dickerson also teaches ninth grade English, health, office practice, second year typewriting, and serves as school secretary as well as adviser for the 4-H Club. Page Fourteen English is one of the most vitally needed courses that is offered at H.C.H.S. The main purpose of the Eng- lish courses is to help the student be- come adept in the four language skills — reading, listening, speaking, and writing. Mrs. Mewborn is adviser for Jr. Tri- Hi-Y and Mrs. Jones is in charge of the Sr. Tri-Hi-Y. Mrs. O'Neal is responsible for the publication of the school news- paper, the Hi-Life, and production of the annual senior class play. Mathematics is one of the most important active forces in the development of our civiliza- tion, and for this reason should be one of the most useful subjects taught in our schools. Many important positions are available today to men and women with a knowledge of mathematics. Boys and girls are wise to learn all the math they can while in high school. This is Miss Barrett's first year at H.C.H.S.— we welcome her to our faculty. Since Mechanical Drawing is the graphic lan- guage used in the industrial world, our object is to study this language so that we may write it, express ourselves clearly to one familiar with it, and read it readily when written by another. The object of Industrial Arts is not the production of marketable materials, but the training of the pupil's hand and eye, as well as his brain, as vitally related to his full personal development. Innately everyone has a talent for handwork if it can be encouraged or if he is put into a situation desperate enough to bring it to the surface. Industrial Arts belongs purely to general education and should find its place in every school. Mr. Brown is adviser for the Hi-Y Club and the School Patrol. The Science Department offers general science and general biology to students who plan no further study after graduating from high school. Chemistry, physics, and human biology is offered to those planning to attend college or nursing schools. The primary objective in this department is to give our students a firm foundation in science so that they may better understand our scientific world. Mr. Ridgway is sponsor for the Key Club and is respon- sible for the Senior Store activities and Senior Stunt Night. The Commercial Department, still in its infancy in this school, offers only first and sec- ond year typewriting, first year shorthand, and office practice. Other badly needed courses are being planned as space becomes available. The primary goal of this department is to train students well enough so that they can secure responsible, well-paying jobs—ones with excel- lent chances of advancement—without the aid of higher education. Miss Graham is faculty sponsor for the Memoir and the Pep Club. She is also in charge of the annual Spring Beauty Review. To know our government, take a constant interest in it and to be a part of it is one of the aims of the Social Science Department. We further strive to develop an appreciation of our heritage and to encourage interest in our national history. We agree with the cncient philosopher who said To know nothing of the past is to understand little of the present and to have no conception of the future. Mrs. Vickery sponsors the Beta Club and the Debaters League. Mrs. Griggs is adviser for the Science Club. Music for Every Child and Every Child for Music is the specific aim and objective of the Music Department in our school. We seek to accomplish this by teaching music education to every class from Grades 1 through 7, a general music class to Grade 8, and a junior band class. We hope some day to have a piano in every elementary classroom. The musical groups in high school consist of a Girls' Glee Club, Boys' Chorus, Mixed Chorus, Senior Band, and many small groups and ensembles. Each student is given an opportunity and encouraged to belong to one of these groups. Mr. Robison, new on our faculty this year, is in charge of all band acitvities. Mrs. Basinger, in addition to her regular teaching duties, helps out wherever music is needed for any school activity. The Vocational Department strives to create in the boys and girls a desire to become more worthy home members, as they increasingly gain some of the skills of home builders and home makers, also to help them gain more appreciation of their present homes and a fuller under- standing of the joys ond satisfactions of a democratic home which is a father's king- dom, a mother's world, and a child's paradise. Mr. Herndon is adviser for F.F.A. and Mrs. Knox and Mrs. Chafin are co-spon- sors for F.H.A. Mrs. Chafin also sponsors the Anchor Club. Athletics play an important part in any school program. The things that we try hardest to instill in the boys and girls who participate in our athletics are teamwork, good sportsmanship, and commendable character. We certainly agree with the maxim: For when the One Great Scorer comes to write against your name He writes—not that you won or lost—but how you played the game. Besides coaching. Coach Neal teaches ninth grade math and general science. Coach Robison teaches health and ge- ography. They are co-sponsors of the H Club. Mr. Martin and Mrs. Oglesby thank the ftfficers of the Lions Club for the $425 that the club donated to the P.T.A. This money has been used for the general improvement of the school. P. T. A. Mrs. Mary Oglesby, President; Mrs. Fred Flowers; Vice President; Mrs. Eleanor Johnson, Secretary; Mrs. Irene Dar- rough, Treasurer; Rev. L. F. Huckaby, Chaplain; Mrs. John Gordon, Parliamentarian; Mrs. Sam Hutcherson, Historian. COUNTY BOARD OF EDUCATION Mr. Denver Cleveland, Secretary; Mr. C. E. Williams, Chair- man; Mr. T. B. Whitworth; Mr. Isham Vickery, Mr. A. L. Parks, and Mr. James Thornton. The County Board of Edu- cation is responsible for the total school program through- out the county. This includes the budget, school bus opera- tion, and the employment of personnel. MRS. BUENA MRS. PEARL MRS. ROXIE MRS. CHRISTINE MRS BUIEST MRS. ANNE MRS. CORA SKELTON CAUOELL CHASTAIN EVANS JORDAN RICHARDSON SANDERS Supervisor MRS. FRONIE MRS. DRUCIE MRS MARY SKELTON VICKERY ERTZBERGER i Substitute) The Lunchroom The nine ladies who work in the lunchroom begin preparing lunch every morning about 7:30, and it takes them until 11:30 to prepare sufficient food for 690 students and 30 teachers — the approximate number of people who eat daily between 11:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. The meals are planned by the lunchroom supervisor, the home economics teachers, and a rep- resentative from each of the elementary buildings. The student's favorite meal? Hot dogs, of course!! Some commodities such as dried beans, cheese, dried milk products, etc., are received from the federal government. Reimbursements amounting to 3c per plate for those who drink milk and lc per plate for those who do not drink milk are also received from the government. This, plus the money obtained from lunch tickets, is used by the lunchroom for operating expenses. Out of this there is an average of about 35 free meals served daily to those students who cannot afford lunch tickets. These people do a wonderful job and everyone truly appreciates the time and effort they give toward preparing such tasty, well-balanced meals. Left to right: Joe Madden, Stewart Dunn, Joe Bailey, John Gurley, Fred Owen. (Four drivers not shown.) These men do an excellent job of transporting the students to school each day. Their safety record is certainly one to which the school can point with pride. THE BUS DRIVERS LEN TEASIEY THE JANITORS Cleaning, heating, and caring for four build- ings and their surroundings is a full-time and sometimes difficult job. We are fortunate to have three dependable men to do this for us. .-----« «i� - ' -- J - S£ V w- f- - a We build to 10 rroW s men nd omen ■JSkil yngjrl iWIVWil jMMrainHaiM 1 f ELEMENTARY CLASSES FiHfEnS’Oea itei c 3hW£ MRS.

January, 1956 The cheerleaders want to congratulate our ball teams on their success throughout the year. We have enjoyed cheering for each player and the teams as a whole. Some of the activities we have par- ticipated in during the year have been decorating the goal post, leading a pep parade before the home- coming game, planned the homecoming dance, and participated in the local Christmas parade. Our year was brightened by striking new uniforms. They consisted of black skirts lined with orange, black sweaters, orange letters, and black loafers. Our goal this year has been clean sportsmanship in all athletic ac- tivities. We hope that this will continue to be a goal in the comnig years at Hart County High.

SHELBY ROUKOSKIE Art Editor The MEMOIR staff is chosen by outgoing staff members and the faculty sponsor from the stu- dents who indicate an interest in producing the book. Each year a few juniors are appointed to the staff so that at no time will it be completely new and inexperienced. Publishing the MEMOIR is a time-consuming and sometimes difficult task, but the efforts of the staff are well repaid when the books are is- sued and we know that we have preserved many precious memories for future reminiscence.

Nov. 11, the Hart County Bulldogs ended their '55 football season with a 25 to 0 defeat It was their fifth defeat against 5 victories. The Bulldogs preseason picked to sweep out the cellar of region 4A. surprised a highly favored Commerce ball club, by stomping them 31 to 6. The next week they proved that this victory was no fluke by sur- prising a highly publicized And- erson ball club 7-6. In this game, the Bulldogs proved they could play with the best of them. Al- though outweighed by 20 pounds per man. and trailing into the fourth quarter they finally scored and added the all important extra point and then at the close of the game they held the Andersonians on their 6 yard line for four plays and won their second straight game. The next week they traveled to Winder and alter being held to a scoreless first half, exploded in the fourth quarter to average last years defeat by a 190 score. How- ever, this was a costly victory, for Tom Cordell received a broken foot and was out until the last of the season. The next week, however, they fought powerful Gainesville on ev- en terms and managed to pull by the Red Elephants 7-0. The next week they were upset by Newton County of Covington. 7-0. and then started a long two weeks, for the next Friday was an open date. The Bulldogs, a little stale after a week’s layoff, defeated the Mon- roe Purple Hurricans. 19 to 6. The Bulldogs journeyed to El- berton the next week with high hopes of avenging last year’s de- feat by the Blue Devils. However, the bruising play of the Blue De- vils stunned the Bulldogs and al- though they played a fine ball game, they were unable to cope with the Devil’s tactics ana receiv- ed their second defeat by a 26-0 score. This was also a very costly game, for Hartwell’s quarterback Gary Bailey was injured and was unable to compete in any more games during the season. At Toccoa, the Bulldogs were unable to show any of their former strength and again came home on the short end of a 20-6 score. At Lavonia the next week, the Bulldogs were struck by a plague of fumblitist” and were again de- feated 19-13. The next week, playing almost at full strength for the first time in four weeks, the Bulldogs played one of their finest ball games against the Athens Trojans thought by many to have the best team in the state in any class. After be- ing pounded for 18 points in the first half, the Bulldogs held the Trojans to 7 points in the second for a 20 to 0 score. It was the low- est score rung up by the Trojans against any region foe and the se- cond lowest of their season. After the game, at the Home- coming dance, the eleven senior players and their sponsors were presented along with the Home- coming Queen and Miss Bulldog. These seniors were: Jerrold Brown. Ed Whitfield, Charles Brown. Jun- ior Cole, Spurgen Anderson. John Morris. Earl Lavender, Charles Crook, Billy Haly, and Joel Shir- ley. Eight of these seniors were on the first eleven and all will cer tainly be missed next year. The other members of the team were; Dale Bannister. Kendall Vickery. Bruce King. Gary Bailey, Judson Bailey, Ed Oglesby, Arnold Baker. Billy Crump, and Pete Sto- vall. All of these boys did tremen- dous jobs during the year and we are all very proud of them. In the scoring department. Earl Lavender led with five touchdowns and five extra points for 35 points. John Morris was second with five touchdowns for 30 points and Gary Bailey with four for 24 points, and Judson Bailey and Pete Stovall with one touchdown—six points— each. The season was a good one! We won some—lost some; but this is not all there is to a football team, or season. Everyone praised the team for its clean sportsmanship, hustle, desire to play and its keen fighting spirit. The annual football banquet will be held on Monday night. Decem- ber 19, at the Hartwell Clubhouse. HCH5 port cene By MARJORIE E. TEMPLES and STAFF Hi! How is everybody this month Excited! I know! And what about, except football HCHS football players have been doing an excellent job in previous games this year While talking with Coach Neal, the other day. he took out his crying towel. how- ever. when I asked about injuries received during the season Gary Bailey, and Dale Roe might be out for the rest of the season because of injuries. William Carter and Doony Os- borne are nursing broken fingers. Tom Cordell, a most promising tackle at the first of the season, has seen no action since he suf- fered a broken foot in the Winder game Earl Lavender's wrist was band aged after the Toccoa game await- ing an X-ray to determine damage 'Little John' has been hamper ed all during the season because of a foot injury received last year. After listening to his answer I asked him to move on down the bench and give me the other end of the towel while I cried with him In the midst of my tears, the thought came to me that maybe everything was not so sad as it seemed; so. drying my tears. I asked. Coach, how many games have you won this year? Five”’ he answered And you’ve lost three?” That's right. he replied, with two more to play. Well, what in thunder are we crying about?” I retorted Of course. I'm not belittling any of the injuries; I know they're bad But aren't they all hurts that time will heal’ Why think. Man' Ycu and Robinson started this year with an inexperienced team rated as 'under dogs ' And you just told me you've won five and lost three. All my buddies and 1 are proud of that kind of a record. In our opinion you've not only won five games. You and your team have won a great deal more— the respect and admiration of your fans because of your “hustling. your clean play, and your ability to be good losers as well as good winners. A slow kind of grin spread across his face as he answered Thank you from my boys ana me. Now. I've got to go see that everybody's dressed out for the game tonight with Lavonia. And you know this time next week it will be Homecoming time and time for Athens to be coming to Hartwell.
