I wish I could post a link to an online history, but we apparently do not have a comprehensive history online.
The 1915 Copy of the ANCHORA, available on Google Books here: http://books.google.com/books?id=9qF...page&q&f=false has a pretty complete early history, including loads of info on George Banta.

I admit I am confused.

Were these teenagers (14-16) enrolled in high school or college?

Anyway, congratulations to a wonderful organization.

My SIL is a UGA DG.
