As an individual. he lived a life of splendid example, as a member of the community, he guided com- munity interest gently but firmly to the schoolsg and as a school-board member, he built well for the present and for the future. From the time Mr. Grant came to the board in April 18, 1906, he was ever alert to the problems of the students and the community, and tried in every way to better edu- cational facilities and equipment. Mr. Grant served on several building committees. In 1929-30 he helped promote the building of the Wilson School, the addition to the Grant. and the first unit of the Roosevelt. Later he served when the Washington, Adams. and the final addition to the Roosevelt was built. He was chairman of the Building Com- mittee that guided the building of our present high school. Three times Mr. Grant was honored by being elected president of the board: June 1, 19185 July 1, 1929, and July 1, 1939. Mr. Grant was born in Janesville July 1-1, 1858, and lived here the greater part of his life. He married Miss Harriet Meacher of Portage on June 30, 1898. In 1936. Mr. Grant resigned from his position of official court reporter. which he had held for nearly 60 years. Because he had trained himself to write with either hand. he was extremely efficient. At the time of his death, he was one of the oldest active golfers in the Janesville Country Club. Photography was one of his hobbies, and during the Christmas holidays of this year he made pictures at his home, and he left a collec- tion of pictures of Janesville and surrounding towns that go back forty-five years. -K -K X' The students of Janesville High School pay tribute to Mr. Franc'z's Grant, a man who has shown great interest in them and their interests.
