The Society has documentation 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 logo shown in the inset in this photo that at some point there was also a "Grandview Badminton Club". 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. If anyone can provide additional information regarding the "Grandview Badminton Club" please contact us at ghmchs@gmail.com.

The 1924 Franklin County champion Grandview High School girls basketball team is pictured above, with their coach Stanton Jones. It was the third consecutive championship for the team due in large part to the athletic prowess of the team’s captain, Marie Grubbs, seated in front of Coach Jones. The local press referred to her as the team’s mainstay and star scorer. During the 1924 season she scored a total of 184 points during the 14-game season.

Razing the Urlin Mansion. George and Alice Urlin built their home on the hill overlooking the confluence of the Scioto and Olentangy Rivers in 1890.
