The association was organized in
the spring of 1929 in the old school
building, between Pine and Chest
nut streets. Four years later this
old building, butt in 1885, gave way
to the modern building on West
Market street, constructed at cost
of approximately 100000. The idea
of an Alumni Association was con-
ceived by Prof. Norman Bond, then
SUPERINTENDENT of the Georgetown
Public Schools, together with eight
others interested in the school ac-
tivities. In June of that year the
first banquet was held and proved
to be a great success. In the begin
ming there was no roster OF the
graduates and it finally became nee
essary for the members and officers
to compile list from the time the
school officials started to award |
diplomas. It was a tedious task, but |
finally a roster was completed, /
with the exception of a few instan- /
ces. which the officers now are
working on in order to complete
the list.
