Hittle Township Builds A High School The idea of a high school was first conceived by Bert W. Richmond. One day while boiling maple sap, at his sugar camp, he was visited by an elderly neighbor who had a law book. Mr. Richmond become so interested in the book that he inquired if he might purchase same. The friend assured him that he would be glad to sell it. In studying the book Mr. Richmond found that it would be possible to establish a high school upon the petition of a given number of applicants. He started canvassing the vicinity and found the idea was well received by all those desiring a secondary edu- cation for their children. After consultation with an attorney, the petition was made. Mr. Richmond secured the signature of many people, then it was filed for action. The grant was soon made and work on a new high school was started. Its work in the community has always been estimable and we are grateful for the founding and continuance of Our Hittle Town- ship High School. Armington Votes on Locatior of New High School fTaken from the files ofthe Atlanta Argus, Friday, November 15, 1901, Remember the school election next Saturday. Ye who are patriotic, ye who love country more than self, come out, stand up in the strength of your manhood and do that which will cause the rising generation to rise up and call you blessed. Locate the schoolhouse south of block ten, and when the time for your departure shall come, white winged cherubims may gather around you and gently waft your tired spirit to lands of bliss and throughout the centuries to come you will ever be remembered by what you have done. Now, ye stiff necked and stubborn, if this don't bring you, you are for- ever lost. fTaken from the files of the Atlanta Argus, Friday, November ZZ, 19011 The election to locate the new township high school was duly held November 16 at the town hall in Armington. Three or four sites were voted on and when the votes were counted, it was found that the site across the stree south of block 10 had a majority of twenty-one votes, thus settling the question of where the house should be. That will give one block for the high school on the east side of the street running north and south past W. E. I-lobart's store, and can front west or north either one. Friends, this is all O. K. , and we feel assured that the school board will now get a hustle on them and get the material on the ground before spring opens up, so that the work may begin as soon as spring comes. 1 48 February 14, 1902 Eunice Richmond The township school board has extended the time for letting the contract for the high school building ten days. That will make the time February 20. Push is the word now. Push with both feet, not as a kicker but with a determination to do the right thing in the right place at the right time which is now. tAtlanta Argus, Girls in picture are: Bessie Kelly, Bertha Hayes, Hattie Stroud, Hazel Hainline, Lenore Walker.
