The issue of water was obviously at the top of the founder’s list of “to-dos”. By May of 1913, Miss Ethel de Long, the School’s co-founder, wrote to the Advisory Board and reported on a number of consultancies, of which one concerned the construction of a reservoir. Mr. Philip Norcross, an engineer from Atlanta, was located and he agreed to provide pro bono advice and details on building a reservoir and septic tanks for the new school.
