SCHOOL FOUR PARTS i} Here’s the town historian to tell us about some of our historical markers . . . Historian: Most folks think that J. C. Dickerman built the first brick house in our town in the 1850's . . It’s opposite the Court House now .. Squire Williams built that gabled red brick residence on Prospect Hill called the “Castle” . . . However, neither of these are the oldest homes; the oldest is probably the A. W. Lester home.. This building was constructed by J. F. Davies, a gunsmith, in 1853. Up there on Aristocracy Hill the Women’s Civic Club marked the site of the Felix Gillet Nursery, founded by Felix Gillet, who established the world-famous industry of culturing filberts, walnuts, and chestnuts. Editor: Thank you . . . Now let’s go back to our school and talk about the daily life of our students . . Our school is like many other high schools in America . . . Some good students go to universities and win scholastic honors; many of the girls and boys get married when they graduate; a few of them find jobs in the mines or business houses of the town . . We're just average American students, neither too bright nor too dull . . . Just 200 boys and girls among 18 million other red-blooded young Americans who struggle with the French conjugation of verbs and algebraic equations . . . Here comes Dick Gregory, our student body president . . Let’s talk to him. What’s the student body doing to help the Defense Program? Dick Gregory: Well, we’re buying War Savings Stamps and Bonds, and some of the girls are selling Pearl Harbor buttons. ‘.
