S3 Tl26 MecOOII S3 History of Granger Township High School Granger High School was organized in 1897-98. Mr. Searles was the first teacher. The course of study was planned the following year by Mr. Zina Wallis who taught the school two years. The first class graduated in 1901. The members of this class were Edith Reed, Edna Hopkins, Irene Hazen, Minnie Indoe, Bessie Hand, Harry Hopkins and Melford Kibby. School was conducted for several years in the old town hall until it was destroyed by fire. The main part of the present building was built in 1904. An addition of two rooms and basement was built in 1915. In 1905 the township schools were centralized. This was the beginning of better schools for Granger. The school prospered and grew and in 1915 under the superintendency of Miss Cora McCallum the high school was chartered as a first grade school. Granger was among the first schools to be centralized. It has always manifested a splendid school spirit. For the past five years it has been under the efficient management of Mr. 0. K. Lehman who has kept up the high standard which it has always maintained. A class of seventeen, probably the largest number in the history of the school, is graduating this year. In 1923 a water system was installed in the building whereby there is provided pure running spring water pro- ducing a drinking fountain. In 1924 there was installed a Delco electric lighting system which is greatly appreciated. It has come to be realized that Granger has so out- grown her facilities that a new building is anticipated in the near future. Members of the Granger Township Board of Education E. J.
