DocToR Jon-IN c:.oRRlE Do you know this man? Our school was named after Dr. john Gorrie, the American physician who in- vented mechanical refrigeration. His invention was a result of experiments he made to lower the temperature of fever patients. His book, Apparatus for the Artificial Production of Ice in Tropical Climate explains the efforts. He was granted a patent on his inventionyin 1851. ' Dr. Gorrie was born in Charleston, S. C. but spent most of his life in Apalachicola, Florida. It was here he invented his ice machine while treating fever patients. A monument to his memory was erected in Apala- chicola in 1900. In 1914 the state of Florida placed his statue in Statuary Hall at Washington, D. C. We all owe much to Dr. Gorrie and are proud to have our school bear his name. 1 ....,........:4.,,4.,,H- ,W -a --.,..,,,.,- n 3 Y., . I
