by Lane Court Georgetown days were numbered Is Ihis what we do for or lo our children expect everything and give nothing This school was meant to accommodate Grades I to small children learning about organized sports on a small scale Now years gymnastic mats at school are bigger than gym Itself It is not unusual to walk In on any given night to see cheerlead ers practising in the already crowded library wrestlers practising In one of the halls and the boys basketball team practising in the gym Which leads us back to the Aral point my girls practising in another school I ve had four children In this school In the past four years This will be our third grodua Hon It Is my opinion that the school Itself could crumble but extraordinary school spirit that exists would not die The faculty
