Moment in Time (originally submitted to ThisWeek News for publication June 3, 2009)

The GH/MCHS has considerable documentation in its archives of various community and school organizations and clubs, including the Friendly Book Club, the Black Mask Club, Grandview Civic, the Garden Club etc. It appears from the blue and white logo shown in the inset in this photo that at some point in time there was also a "Grandview Badminton Club". A piece of stationery bearing the logo was added to our collection and is a bit of a puzzle. Badminton was added as a Girls Athletic Council intramural sport at the high school in 1937 and was second in popularity to basketball. The photo shows Emily Peterson, GHHS Girls Athletic Director, demonstrating proper badminton form to two high school girls. There doesn't seem to be any substantiated evidence that formally links the logo with the High School. If anyone can provide additional information regarding the "Grandview Badminton Club" please contact us at ghmchs@gmail.com.
