YEARS AdO In 1840 a small log school house was erected upon a site granted by Mr. Emerson. Katherine Bellamy was the first teacher. Although both the equip- ment and the school house were rather inefficient, they served the purpose until 1848. In this year the small frame building, which you see at the right in the picture, was built upon the enlarged site which was purchased from Marshall Phillips. This frame structure was later used for the V. C. T. K. rooms. The larger frame building in the picture was constructed in 1885-8(1, to be replaced in 1904 by a brick school house, which stood with slight changes until 1934 when our present edifice was erected. During the years 1891-95 the school was organized into grades. Principal Walters placed it under the visitation (if regents. In 1904 and 190(5 a middle school certificate and a senior certificate were granted respectively. ir q 1 1 •- AHio —
