     "This town has eleven school districts, which with two or three exceptions have comfortable school-houses.  The best of these is at Gainesville.  It is a new two story building, with a wing.  Next to this is the new one at East Gainesville, which is also two stories.  Most of the people of the town manifest a commendable interest in the cause of education, and the town has furnished its share of the teachers and scholars for the county"

Beers, History of Wyoming County, 1880, reprinted Heart of the Lakes Publishing, pg 192.


     I would like to give histories of the Gainesville Schools and publish any records that are available.  I would be especially grateful to get samples of graduation programs or other mementos of various schools and times.
