Tit 7, m Q-Ui L 4% Se6 £ J!ev-ct£e, Jlear 'lp A The first echool In Belleville was taught In a blackemlth shop in« ear 5� and In 1807 a log school-house was built. This building was without floors and its roof was of elm bark. It was, indeed, a long step in progress from this very humble beginning in educational equipment to the Union Academy of later days which be- came, and to-day remains, the center of the education and prosper- ity of the village of Belleville, of the township of Elllsburg and Its influence extending to adjoining townships; and it is not too much to add that it is nation wide. Township of Ellisburg in Jefferson County, State of New York by Florence Ellis, 19 'Dedicatio The class of 1950 considers It an honor to dedicate this 4th edition of the TOWER” annual to the one responsible for Its existence, namely, Kenneth Campbell. In his own words, Mr. Campbell says, If It were not for the hard work and endless sacrifices of Mom, I would never have had a high school or college edu- cation. After graduating from Franklin Academy, Mr. Campbell, worked his way through Potsdam Normal School and graduated as president of his class In 1940. Starting with September 1940, Mr. Campbell taught for two years In a rural school near Malone. His third year of teaching was at Constable as head teacher for one year. War, however, Interrupted his career as he spent 2i years with the Army, seventeen months of this period In Europe. Mr. Campbell has been an active participant In not only educational activi- ties but also local civic and service activities. He has been a member of the Junior High Department of the Belleville Central School since September 1946. In January 1950, Mr. Campbell received his Master of Education Degree from St. Lawrence University. Our gratitude to him lies In the fact that he Is the founder and promoter of the original TOWER and has been Instrumental In keeping the succeeding pub- lications up to the same high standard of the first annual. We hope that this dedication may give Mr. Campbell the recognition he deserves through his splen- did accomplishments. 1 “SteVitt cUcca£catt MATHER, Treasurer; SHAAD, Principal; EASTMAN,Clerk CHAMBERLAIN; SHEAR; RALPH, President; WILLIAMS; WHITLEY faculty Rivenburgh, B.Wheeler, Nunes, Overton, A.Wheeler, Smith Eastman, Stiles, Flint, Farmer, Bishop, Holly, Chapman Dunn, Crysdale, Beale, Bangs, Craig, Crump, Fishel Cutter, Barnard, Shaad, Bellinger, Mumford, Campbell 2 OFFICE, Miss Saltor JANITORS: Erickson, Corron COOKS BUS DRIVERS BUS DRIVERS Paver, Hubbard, Matteson, Bovee, Eggleston, Stoodley, 3 Hunter Richmond Setuwik When he saw the log school house, Joshua Bradley extorted the people to build a school building which would be more worthy of their high aspirations which brought them to this area. It was to be called Union Academy because it was never to be ruled by any sect or church domination. It was to belong to all of the people. Giles Hall gave the land, about six acres. Elder Kennedy offered to hew the timbers. The Hungerfords offered lime from their kiln. The services of the Boomer'8 oxen were donated to draw the lime. The Overtons promised the use of their teams. Mosley Wood was to make the foundation. The Martins and the Reeds would do the carpentry work. The Cooks and Scotts were to assist the masons In building the walls. The Warrlners, SallsburyB and Stanleys chose to shave out the shingles during long winter evenings. The Robbins and the Ereleighs were to nail the shingles to the roof. The people from Bishop Street made the nails. A gift of $100.00 from Joseph Bona parte, brother of the great Napoleon was received. While the building was being built, classes were held In the upper part of the Baptist Church. Everyone contributed according to his ability and means, On April 13, 1826, an act of incorporation was obtained from the Legis- lature. The building was completed during the year 1826, and was dedicated on January 1, 1827. On January 5 1828, it was received under a visitation of the regents on appreciation of the trustees. Charles Avery was the first principal. He began service In 1829. Through the prosecution of an action to forclose against the property in the fall of 1837 the school was closed tut the trustees,with the help of Jebediah Buchard raised funds sufficient to cancel the indebtedness. The school was re-opened with J.3. King as principal in 1840. Satayi O icen ANN COBB, ALLEN CASE Reporter Treasurer ANNA MAE REDDEN, PAUL VAN EPPS, MRS.

Be- cause of his perfection Mark, China Boy , wins the approval of the adults, but cannot make friends with tne people his own age. When Mark tried to be bad, so he would be one of the gang, everything he tried turned out to oe good. However, he finally succeeds in making friends with everyone and the play had a very sat- isfactory, if somewhat surprising ending.

(ova. strAL) 950 H Witnessed by When Mr.King resigned in 1843,Richard Ellis became principal. He was fol- lowed by Calvin Littlefield in 1845. Mr. Ellis was again head of the school in 1848. The building became Inadequate for the larger number of new pupils coming continually and a new structure was constructed in front of and adjoining the old stone school. This addition cost approximately $4,000. It was ready for use in October 1857, Mr.J.Dunbar Houghton,principal. He and his family moved into the wooden structure which was provided with a suite or rooming space for him and his family, teachers and a number of pupils. All went well and the school prospered until the time of the Civil War when a number of the faculty and a large number of pupils enlisted, and only with great effort did the school contlnur to the end of the period. In 1852 there were 188 pupils; 1862—266 pupils and in 1866 there were 342. Mrs. William Rather and Mrs. Qeorge Mather endowed the Academy with $10,000 for the establishment of a course in Agriculture,1901, the first in any second- ary school in the United States. The School Park was donated by Mr. Frederick Williams. The wooden portion of Union Academy was remodeled in 1918. On January 29th 1923, the entire set of buildings was burned to the ground with a total loss. 12 Ni e buh Corron,Whit e,Hodge,Harri s Flag-,Hedger,3bdon,Pulton,2.Kohl,Veley,KellarfGoldin .-astman ntlq Cummlngs,Gillette,Williams,Mr.Bellinger T.KohlJsaunders Broim?Parker SofcJuMtvieA.

The spirit which founded her and stood by her so long, was still alive In the hearts of the people. They were determined to struggle fora new school. While the trustees of the school made plans for rebuilding, classes were conducted In churches and In the Overton Block on the corner. The pledge of seven- teen thousand dollars was responded to by the people so quickly It was possible to engage an archetect and a builder. By the • lxth of September, 1924, the beautiful building was completed. The new home of Union Academy was 80 feet wide, and 120 feet In length. It was built at a cost of approximately $150,000. Of this sum, $50,000 came from popular subscriptions, $20,000 from Insurance and $10,000 from members of the $10,000 Club, each member giving $1,000. An additional $25,000 was raised later to complete payment on the building. The centennial celebration In June 1925 attracted a crowd of 2500 people. The pageant celebrated the days of Its found- ing up. to that time. A more beautiful spectacle has seldom, If ever, been witnessed. The Union Academy did very well In Its new home until In 1931 when there was a change In the reg- ular program of the school. In the spring of 1931 the people voted to centralize thirteen outlying school districts. In 1935, due to the Increase In the number of pupils, an addition was made to the school consist- ing of rooms for grades 1-5 and a regulation sized gymnasium with a large seating capacity. The State paid one-fourth of the cost of the building. At the same time some remodeling was done on the older part of the school, including the Installation of lockers and a change In the auditorium. It was necessary, also to move the bell-tower from Its former location to the entrance to Williams Park, where It will always remain to keep us In mind of the beautiful past It has known. In 1937 completions were made on the school gar- age for the purpose of housing and repairing the buses. The garage holds ten buses and Is well equipped to care for them. Among the achievements of the pupils of Union Academy are the following: The Hudson Brothers of EUls Village Invented and built a silo; J.B. Converse cf Woodvllle was seven years president of the Ayrshire Breeders of America; Alfred Benton bred the noted Benton horses; one sold for $2 CXX); J. Brodle Intro- duced superior breeds of farm animals to this part of the country, (Ayrshire cattle, Yorkshire hogs, Leicester sheep); William Grant Introduced Manual training Into the High Schools of the United States; George Peck,author of Peck’s Bad Boy ,became the governor of Wisconsin; Cushman Davis was governor of Nlnnesota, U.S. senator from that state and helped to negoclate the peace treaty with Spain; C.H. Crittenden founded the Florence Cr It tendon Missions; The Salva- tion Army,It Is said,Is a result of the preaching of Charles Flnnay; Daniel Burnham planned the grounds and buildings of the World’s Exposition held at Chicago In 1892,replanned SanFranclsco after its earthquake, designed the beautifying of the city of Washington, and established the American School of Architecture at Rome,Italy; Hiram Barney was a friend of Abraham Lincoln and helped In the writing of the Emancipation Proclamation; Jack Barney,who served with the thlon Troops In the Civil War and was killed In action. Is regarded as the nobelest,greatest hero, of all who have gone out of the school. Section. Band Kohl, Dunham, V.
