When David Sutherland Jr. became board of education president in 1920 the board proposed a novel solution, condemnation of the cemetery west of the Grove Street school and a law to allow the transfer of 1,000 bodies. At the annual meeting in 1922 a $600,000 new high school was approved 387 to 115.

On a side note:  This "new High School" was torn down in or about 1970.  The Old Grove School was also torn down and a new Junior or Middle School was built.  It is called the J.W. Dodd Middle School.  At the present time there is nothing but a playground where the High School once stood.
