Sanford (Fla.)
African Americans--Florida

Description
Collection of digital images, documents, and other records depicting the history of Sanford Avenue, the main street in Georgetown, an African-American community in Sanford, Florida. Series descriptions are based on special topics, the majority of which students focused their metadata entries around.
Georgetown was established by the city's founder, Henry Shelton Sanford, in the 1870s. The neighborhood spans along Sanford Avenue, with its commercial district between First Street and Fifth Street, and its historic district between Seventh Street and Tenth Street. Though originally much smaller, Georgetown spanned to its present boundaries from East Second Street to Celery Avenue and from Sanford Avenue to Mellonville Avenue. Georgetown thrived at its height from circa 1880 to 1940, particularly in agriculture and transportation.

The Cher-O-Key
Published Bi-Weekly by the Journalism Club of Cherokee Junior High School
Vol. I, No. 6 February, 21, 1929 One Cent
Joe Bird Elected President
Election day proved intensely interesting at Cherokee last week. The three candidates who were introduced in auditorium on Wednesday, Feb. 6, were of equal merit and consequently competion and excitement ran high throughout the day. The candidates were each announced by a student sponsor. Betty Meyer introduced Betty Trimble, Sammie Bethea introduced Richard Lawson, and Bob Gisler told us of Joe Bird's particular merits. Each gave a short speech, urging the votes of the students for one particular person.
Balloting revealed that Joe Bird, of section 8-5, was the choice of the students. Everyone feels that the students have selected wisely and that Joe will live up to the standard set by the past presidents.
7-1 Entertains
Section 7 report a very interesting program for February 5. The committee who gave the program were Myer Sigal, chairman, Richard Ezzard and Robert Gisler. The first number on the program was “La Cinder", a selection on the piano by Beulah Laverty, “The Novelty Waltz," a piano solo was given by Fred Mauer. The last number was a one act play given by Myer Sigal and Richard Ezzard.
Bobby Denney: No girl ever made a fool out of me.
Roland Parker; Well, who did then?
Miss Freeman Visits school
Through the courtesy of the Orlando, Ice Dealers Association, Cherokee students were fortunate in hearing Miss Freeman speak last week on the subject "Refrigeration." In her talk, she pointed out the benefits of a good ice-box and how food is affected when kept in a poor one. Some of the point which Miss Freeman stressed in her lecture were that a refrigerator should have good circulation, that food could not be preserved at a temperature over 60 degrees fahrenheit, that an ice box should be washed with cold water rather that warm, and that food should never be set out of the ice box very long. In the course of her lecture she pointed out that foods having a smell, such as cheese, should be kept on the top shelf of the ice box, so as not to transfer it to the other foods.
This information was gladly received and greatly enjoyed by the students and teachers.
Mr. Westover Enjoyed
The students had a great time while Mr. Westower entertained with some very clever stunts and tricks in auditorium, Wednesday, February 6, Mr. Westower came to Cherokee last year and is a great favorite with everyone Cherokee is eagerly anticipating his next visit.
Pictures of Mount Vernon and Washington, D.C. adorn the bulletin board in honor of our famous presidents, Washington and Lincoln, whose birthdays are this month. This was a project of the Student Council of last semester.

Indian Summer
A silken curtain skies,
And half conceals from pensive eyes
The bronzing tokens of the tall; A calmness broods upon the hills,
And summer's parting dream distils
A charm of silence over all.
The stacks of corn, in brown array,
Stand waiting through the tranquil
day, Like tattered wigwams on the plain; The tribes that find a shelter there
Are phantom peoples, forms of air,
And ghosts of vanishing joy pain.
At evening when the crimson crest
Of sunset passes down the West,
I hear the whispering host returning
On far off-fields, by elm and oak. I see the lights, I smell the smoke, ---
The Camp-fires of the Past are burning.

HUMOR
Miss Graham: Do you think it is correct to say, "He summers in the country?"
Howard Davis: Why not? You can say, “He falls in the mud" or "he springs in the water."
_______________________________
History teacher: What is meant by the “Spoils System?"
Paul Dowd: Well, Jackson gave his friends positions and it spoiled them.
________________________________
The class composition was on "Kings" and this is what one boy wrote:
The most powerful king on earth is Wor-king, the laziest, Shir-king, one of the worst kings is Smo-king; the wittiest, Jok-king; the quietest, Thin-king; the thirstiest, Drin-king, the silliest, Win-king, and the noisiest, Tal-king

Mr. Thompson: How did that aviator get killed?
Mr. Meyer. He had a sudden sinking spell.
Who’s Who Contest
Section 8-I held a "who's who’ contest in home rome recently. Sally Fletcher, Gladys Cassel and Howard Davis took the lead. The winners in this contest have been placed on an attractive poster, which is on the bulletin board near the front entrance. The poster was made by Athlone Williams.

Cher-O-Key Sponsors Contest
Harken one Harken all! The Cher-O-Kay is sponsoring a contest. This is absolutely something new in the line of a contest at Cherokee, The idea originated with the journalism club when the members were madely writing verse—or worse—to fill up the columns of the paper. Limerick writing became the rage in one short period.
The club wants the students to join in the spirit of the hour. The person writing the best limerick involving the idea of Cherokee and "The Cher-O-Key" will receive an issue of every Cher-C-Key free until June. The contest is on.
Limericks may be submitted to room to; for a period of one week, ending Friday, March 1st. The winner will be announced in the next issue of the Cher-O-Key.
We submit the following limerick as an example of our art:
We now have a president Bird;
They say he's the very “last word"
He's short but he's smart,
Campaigns with art,
He's Cherokee's president the third.

EDITORIALS
It has been brought to the attention of the administrative board at Cherokee that students have become careless in their use of the property of other people. This building, and its equipment, which is a monument to education in our city, has been given to all of us, not to any one of us.
Nor is it ours alone, but it also belongs in part to the students who will follow us when we are in higher Institutions of learning.
Will our future citizens at Cherokee wish to enter a defaced building, whose walls have been marted with pencils, whose exterior still bears the sign of dusty erasers, and whose desks are scratched and marred? These questions we should consider seriously when we feel inclined to make numerous little destructions that seem a part of our nature.
Decidely we have the most beautiful building in the city. Let us strive to keep it “The School Beautiful" in its picturesque setting "The City Beautiful"
___________
Many interesting exhibits have been put on by the schools of Orlando at the Fair Grounds, Let s visit these on our holiday Friday
The new staff of the "Cher-o-key" will be announced in the next edition. Watch for it!

The Cher-O-Key
Published Bi-Monthly by the Journalism Club of Cherokee Junior High School.
Vol. I, No. 1 November 9, 1928 One Cent
Mr. Grover Addresses Student Body.
Mr. Grover, Professor of books at Rollins college, returned to Cherokee Wednesday, Nov. 7, to address the subject of "Education." Mr. Grover was warmly received by the students as an old friend, for he addressed us last year on the subject of "Books."
In speaking of the importance of education to the success of the individual, Mr. Grover cited Herbert Hoo¬ver as an example. "Eighty per cent of the names in "Who's Who" have a college education," he said. "Every day in high school is worth $25 to each pupil, while a college education adds $55 a day to a person's value."
Mr. Grover then traced the growth of public school education in America, and pointed out its tendencies. A very interesting feature was a copy of an old New England primer and horn book used in the earliest American schools.
Percentages for First Period High.
Grades for the first six weeks of the school year have been averaged together and the following results were obtained: A's 8%, B's 28%, C's 39%, D's 14%, E's 5%. It will be noticed that more pupils received A's than E's. More pupils received B's than D's. Fewer people got C's than they ordinarily do. Usually the percentage of C's is about 44 %. This shows that a healthy condition exists, for most of the pupils are working hard
Journalism Club Reads Rare Papers
Jean Pettay, of section 9-2, recently brought several old papers to school which were of great interest to the Journalism Club. One was published at the time of Lincoln's death and gave a vivid account of the assassination. This edition also contains news of the Civil War.
Another is the New York Herald for April 25, 1856. This issue contains a variety of news, ranging from "most horrible murders" to "great balloon ascensions."
A most interesting copy is the Saturday Evening Post for June 16, 18¬28. It is in the form of a paper instead of a magazine. The print is very fine. A rather interesting and amusing part of the Post is a collection of very dry jokes relating to the experiences of theEarl of Marlborough. In 1828, it seems to take two paragraphs to tell what could be told in two lines in 1928.
7-1 Wins P T A Attendance
Picture
Section 7-I has for two consecutive months received the picture offered by the P T A to the section having the largest percentage of parents present at the monthly meeting of this organization. The seventh grade this year seems to be taking the lead in nearly all of our school activities. We wonder if the eight and ninth grades are going to accept the challenge offered by Cherokee's newest class?

EDITORIAL
The editorial staff of the Cher-O-Key salutes the student body. We since the opening of school. Billy greet you confidently- confident that our undertaking will meet with your approval and confident that you give us your hearty support. We offer no, apologies for beginning on a small scale, for we believe that our modest beginning of today will culminate in a tomorrow full of glorious achievements on the part of Cherokee’s journalist.
In compiling this and future editions, the staff has but one object in mind- to give wholesome publicity to Cherokee. To accomplish this objective, to give her the most complete and adequate publicity, we solicit the aid of the entire student body. We urge a continuance of your reputed spirit of co-operation. Boost your paper, boost your school, and let us all strive to make Cherokee’s newest enterprise a complete and notable success.
AN APPRECIATION
The staff of the Cher-O-Key wish to take this method of thanking the printing department and typing club for their splendid co-operation in making our journalistic venture possible. While the paper largely represents the efforts of the journalism club we wish the student body to know the share that these two departments are taking in our publication. We sincerely appreciate their support and willing aid.
CALENDAR OF EVENTS
Monday, Nov. 12: Armistice day. Holiday.
Wednesday, Nov. 14: Auditorium program sponsored by section 7-7.
Wednesday, Nov. 21: Auditorium program with section 7-2 in charge.
MERIT LIST FLUCTUATES IN NUMBERS WEEKLY
Merit cards have rivaled the Wall Street stock markets in fluctuation since the opening of school. Billy Tyree was the first student at Cherokee to receive a merit card this year. A week later, Ruth Wetherington received the second. Since that time, the awards have been steadily increasing in numbers. These cards are given weekly to some students who have attained a high excellence in scholarship.
The following students have received merit cards during the week of Oct. 15-19: Dorothy Cuthberson, Mary Terhune, Ormond Powers (2), Billy Berst. Week of Oct. 22-26: Barbara Parker, Esther Hadeck (2). Helen Arendt, Roberta Barnett, Virginia Copeland, Effie Mc Gormack (2), Clifford Haughton, Billy Tyree, Irvin Marchand, Edna Parker, Newelle Clark, Howard Davis, Winifred Berst, Sara Harell, Harriet Ravencroft, Cecil Keith, Edna Hinchey, Maxine Fugate, Shan Kazarosian. On Wednesday, Oct. 31, there was an unusual situation; there were no merit cards for the preceding week.
ROBERTA BARNETT SUBMITS BEST ESSAY
Last week the Florida State Dental Association offered a prize of five dollars and a second prize of two dollars and a half to the ninth graders who were able to write the best compositions on the subject, "The Teeth in Relation to General Health." In Cherokee, the ninth grade students wrote their compositions under the direction of Mrs. Benton and Miss Mitchell, the English teachers. Roberta Barnett, of section 9-2, wrote the composition which was chosen to represent Cherokee; it was sent to the contest headquarters at Miami.
NEWS ITEMS
Ruth Wetherington of 9-3 and Shahan Kazarosian of 9-3 have made our art poster in the auditorium this year
Due to the fact that Harold Hughston captain of the sergeants, has moved from Orlando, it was necessary for the council to eiect a new one. Sammie Bethea was chosen by a unanimous vote.
The enrollment of the school year of 1928 has already increased from 450 in September to 495 at the present date. New pupils are entering almost daily and there is little doubt but that Cherokee will soon have as many as last year. Many of the sections are completely filled now.
Cherokee has already prepared a series of auditorium programs for the year, so we are assured of having some that are interesting, entertaining, and spicy. Good ones have already been put on by sections 9-1, 8-6, 7-1, and 9-6. The Girl's Glee Clud has also lent its aid, by presenting a one-act musical comedy.
SOCIETY AT CHEROKEE
The fall season has been a very busy social time for the Cherokee students. Nearly every section has already engaged in some sort of social activity during the past seven weeks. Parties have been enjoyed by twelve sections, and there have been nearly an equal number of picnics. Olivia Park seems to have taken precedence over other places as a picnicking ground, and the Hallowe'en note has been dominant at the parties.
The faculty have also had their share in social activities. Besides being privileged to act as sponsors at the student socials, they have had three distinct affairs of their own. Toward the end of September, Mr. and Mrs. G. S. Thompson entertained the Cherokee teachers at a picnic at Olivia Park. Miss DeLaney and Mr. and Mrs. Park were special guests at this time. The Cherokee faculty bridge club has held two meetings thus far.
NEW RULING HOLDS STUDENTS IN CHECK.
A new ruling, recently passed by the Board of Education, has resolved that students be excused from schools only on account of illness or for other serious matters. This ruling was passed pecause it has been increasingly noticed by the teaching force that the schools are endangered by the constant calls from different outside sources that students be excused from their classes. This, it was decided, is seriously damaging to the school system, in that interferes with systematic classroom procedure. The new ruleing purposes-to check these too frequent outside calls.
SPORTS
Due to the absence of the coach the major sport for boys, which is soccer, has been delayed. However, every section has organized a team. A tournament is now being conducted. It is an elimination contest. The loosers will play all other loosers and the winners all other winners.
New Rules Regulate Eligibility for Sports.
In keeping with some of the fundamental assumptions relative to sportmanship training and after several years of experimentation, the physical training teachers of both Junior High Schools and the Director of the schools have arrived at the following regulations:
Eligibility: all pupils earning a mark of C— or above in all regular four or five hour courses and Health shall be eligble to compete in the inter-class tournaments and inter-school contests.
Ineligibility: Pupils falling below the standard set above shall remain in-eligible to compete in such contests for a period of six weeks following the declaration of such ineligibility.
Mrs. Harrell, president of the P.T A., recently awarded section 9-I the prize for getting 100% of their parents to join the P.T.A.
The prize was a wall flower vase. Billy Davis, President of 9-I recived in the behalf of the class.
The entire school is glad to see Mrs. Meyer back again, after her illness of last week.
Humor
Startling discoveries brought to light as a result of recent tests:
A fish can swim in water because he holds his breath.
A pirate is a free government where the people make their own laws.
A smuggler is a government where the king rules.
Before a person can become a resident of the United States, he first has to become civilized.
Cherokee Observes Temperance
Twenty states celebrated temperance day on October 31, carrying out the mandatory state law that the schools observe this subject. Mr. A. M. Meyer was the speaker at the Cherokee observance. He stated that temperance in a special phase of citizenship. The school is the big business of America. One million teachers and z8 million students are engaged in the schools. This means that one fourth of our population is engaged in teaching or learning. The aim of the schools is to teach students to be citizens and not subjects. To do this, they must master temperence.
"The student who is unable to control his thinking or acting", he said, "is intemperate. Citizens who are temperate are builders rather than destroyers of character."
"What to do with your nickle?" Buy two apples in the lunch room for two cents each. Then spend the other penny for a "Cher-O-Key."
Gertrude Ginsberg left us last week to take up her residence in New York City.

Description
A newspaper article written by Grace Marie Stinecipher's column in <em>The Sanford Herald</em>. This particular issue featured school news found in <em>The Sanford Builder</em>'s edition from April 20, 1952.<br /><br /><br />Originally located at 301 West Seventh Street in Sanford, Florida, Sanford Grammar School was first established as Sanford High School in 1902. The building was designed by W. G. Talley in the Romanesque revival style. Due to an increasing student population, a new school building was constructed on Sanford Avenue in 1911. The original building on Seventh Street served as Westside Grammar Elementary School, which was later renamed Sanford Grammar School. In 1984, the building was placed on the U.S. National Registry of Historic Places and converted into the Student Museum. The building reopened as the University of Central Florida's Public History Center in 2012. In 1927, a high school campus was designed by Elton J. Moughton in the Mediterranean revival style and constructed at 1700 French Avenue. The school reopened on January 10 and was renamed Seminole High School. In 1960, the high school moved to a new campus at 2701 Ridgewood Avenue and the former building on French Avenue was converted to Sanford Junior High School, which was later renamed Sanford Middle School. The old building was demolished in the summer of 1991 and replaced by a $5.77 million school complex. As of 2013, Seminole High School offers various Advanced Placement courses, the Academy for Health Careers, and the International Baccalaureate Programme for students.

The Way We Were:
Education news from 1952 paper
Grace Marie Stinecipher
Today’s column contains school news found in the Sunday, April 20, 1952 edition of the Sanford Builder.
Sanford Grammar School in the news
The Grammar School at this time housed fifth and sixth grades and a reported from several of the rooms had written about happenings in his class. I have edited these extensively to give you the important information.
Room 1 (fifth grade)
Harrison Smith and Michael Moses
The previous Thursday the room mothers had given the class an Easter party. They served Easter eggs, jelly beans and cokes. Winning the contests for prettiest and most unusually decorated eggs were Betty Spears and Phillip Meeks. They each received a chocolate egg.
SM-200-404
There was a new pupil in this room, Eugene Humphries from Atlanta.
The class had changed their room around and moved the museum cases. Everyone liked I better that way.
Several pupils were out with the chicken pox and measles.
Room 6 (sixth grade)
Lola Yates
Dottie Williams had gone to the Festival of States Parade in St. Petersburg on April 4. She told the class about her trip and showed pictures from the newspaper.
The following boys from Room 6 would be in the Marble Tournament; Keith Abney, Alan Buie, Robert Yates, Jimmy Moye, Jimmy Cordell, Billy Tyre, Billy Robinson, Chester Cherry, Dale Goins, Pat McClellan, David Carlton, L.C. Smith, and Jan Miller.
May Day attendants from this room would be Peggy Lundquist and Jimmy Moye. Jimmy was king and Peggy would walk with Roger Dunn.
Thanks to Mrs. Buie, the class had an Easter Party. Alan Buie played his trumpet and Carol McNeill played her accordion. Mrs. C.C. Welsh told an Easter story.
Room 8 (Mrs. Campbell’s sixth grade)
Joyce Green and Nelda Taylor
This room was proud of Berry St. John, Grammar school’s champion speller. In the county contest he had missed only two words out of 75 in the written test and was the last sixth grader to sit down in the spelling bee.
They missed Dickie Roundtree who was out with a throat infection and Beverly Evans who was out with an abscessed tooth. Phyllis Wood had been very ill and the Las Amigas Club was planning to

Eva Spears class takes a trip
On April 9, this class had a very nice outing. Five of the mothers, Mrs. Richards, Mrs. Emerson, Mrs. Barbour, Mrs. Benham and Mrs. Kirchoff had taken the class out to the Kirchoff farm. Valerie Kirchoff’s aunts had also helped.
On April 14, Mrs. Horner made a surprise visit to the class. She was a former fifth grade teacher and those who had been in her class were especially glad to see her.
Room Niners were proud of their Easter exhibit. Colored moss was used for their “Easter People”, which were made out of hollowed out egg shells. Inez Prescott had made models of Roger Dunn and Nancy Richards, their May Day attendants.
Steward Gatchel speaks at Oviedo PTA meeting
The Oviedo School PTA had met recently at the school with Prof. Paul Mikler presiding over the meeting. Mrs. E.T. Standifer gave the devotional.
Mr. Mikler announced that the PTA would soon have a permanent home built on Orange Avenue.
Those elected to serve on the nominating committee for new officers were Mrs. T.L. Lingo, Mrs. W.R. Meek and Mrs. James Partin.
Mrs. Teague, school principal, announced that May Day would be held Friday, May 2, with the usual festivities. The dinner would be under the direction of Mrs. James Partin, hospitality chairman.
Mr. Mickler [sic] then introduced Stewart Gatchel, a member of the Seminole High School faculty and a graduate of West Point. He gave a very interesting talk on the life of a cadet. He then stressed how the training at West Point made good citizens out of its students because of its very high standards.
