1 1 'si Centennial .. 3 . X .1 L 5 . ' is Ml 1 5 ' V Z5 an ,Q I ' f te! Eu- 8 , 2 One-hundred years ago, in the fall of 1868 Hamburg Academy first opened its doors. Pre- vious to this date, however, education in Ham- burg established itself through many schools, including the Little Red School House still standing behind the Village Printing House on Main Street, and schoolhouses listed in old records as being on Big Tree Road, and on Camp Road. This last was School House No. 8, and is recorded as having been built on the first land bought by a School District in the Town of Hamburg. Since 1869, the Hamburg School System has grown continually. Hamburg Academy gradu- ated its first high school class in 1881 after having expanded in the fall of 1880 to include the upper grades. The Union Street facilities, including the old Hamburg Academy, were razed to make room for the present elementary school in 1938. In 1955, a new and modern high school was built on Legion Drive. Since that time, a junior high school has been erected on Division Street, and the Pleasant Avenue school now houses inter- mediate grades. District 11:1 includes a grade school in Boston and one on Charlotte Avenue. There is also a grade school in Armor. Plans are now in pro- gress to replace this building. Hamburg has, indeed, come a long way since its students attended the Little Red School House in 1868. 5 4

Senior Play This year's production of Dear Ruth by Norman Krasna, was unique in that all major parts were double-cast except two male leads. One of the casts performed on Friday, March 28, and the other performed on Saturday, March 29. Because of double-casting extra work was needed to make the most out of every rehearsal. Finally, after seven weeks of diligent effort, Dear Ruth was performed for the general public. Many people worked together to make the Senior Play a success. Mr. Robert Yates directed the play in a professional manner and proved to be very dedicated, Numerous committees worked behind the scenes to insure a good production. Bonnie Mitchell, Bonnie Lewis, and Debbie West assisted Mr. Yates in direction. Seated: Blaich, Curtiss, Seelbach, Greso, Merlino.
