For many years the Board of Education, headed by its President, Dr. B. J. Baldwin, had striven in hopes of some day obtaining a new high school for the city. Their aspirations had been realized in what, at the time, was one of the most up-to-date high schools in the South. The building had cost S150,000. Facilities for the instruction of Home Economics and Manual Arts had been installed, and the lunch room was the newest thing in school equipment. Members of the Board of Education at that time were: Dr. B. J. Baldwin, President, Mr. G. W. Jones, Mr. Emile Meyer, Judge A. D. Sayre, and Dr. J. L. Gaston. It was only through their untiring efforts that Lanier was erected, A temple in which the youth of the city might receive instruction of wisdom, justice and judgment . Mr. Charles L. Floyd was Superintendent of Schools, and Mr. A. K. McKemie was Prin- cipal of Lanier. In 1917 Mr. McKemie was succeeded by Mr. J. S. McCants. Since that day Mr. Mac has been our loved friend and advisor. The faculty has grown to a membership of sixty and the student's roll to 1,664 for the spring semester of '29. The present Board of Education consists of Mr. L. C. Cardinal, Presidentg Mr. C. W. Collier, Mr. A. D. Cowles, Mr. J. M. Garrett, Mr. Tyler Goodwyn, Mr. Jesse A. Hearin, Mr. Leopold Strauss, and Mrs. L. W. Tyson. Mr. W. R. Harrison has been Superin- tendent of Education for the past twelve years. During the existence of Lanier 1,862 students have been awarded diplomas and several have been given certificates. The Senior Class has grown from twenty-nine members ftwenty-eight girls and one boy! to 225 members lone hundred twenty-seven girls and ninety-eight boysj. Last year the city and county high schools were consolidated. After this year, Cloverdale, Capitol Heights and the present Lanier will all be used as Junior High Schools, with the one Senior High in the new million dollar building, which is now being erected on the extension of Court Street. The high school has progressed, step by step, through the Chilton, Central. and Sidney Lanier High Schools, and next year with one more long stride forward. wf' will move to a newer, larger, better equipped, and. let us hope, as fine a school as our Lanier . It is to the Board of Education, who through their permanent interest. and incessant endeavors have furthered the progress of the Montgomery schools, that we are, both as individuals, and as a body, greatly indebted.
