for the Grantley, Country Club and Violet Hill districts was held in the Grantley School building at
7:45 p.m., March 26, 1926, with W.W. Van Baman acting as chairman. The chairman pointed out the
main features which should be followed by the new organization and explained the steps necessary
to secure a charter. He then read the proposed charter which he had prepared. At the meeting, the following officers were elected:
President: W.C. Throne First Vice President: Francis Farquhar Second Vice President: John Senft Secretary: J.J. Rudisill Asst. Secretary: C.S. Pressel Treasurer: A.H. Geesey Financial Secretary: John A.
