' :' 'Q' EL I llil 54 4 . EDITORIAL 'ff? 0fF ------D -I .. 1, Nineteen hundred and thirty-five is a double anniversary for Black River Academy. It is exactly 300 years after the founding of the first high school in the United States, as well as the 100th anniversary of the academy itself. Members of the class of 1935 should consider themselves very fortunate in having so important a time for their graduation. This centennial issue of the Banner is espe- cially dedicated to the 100th anniversary of B. R. A. In the year 1834 a wooden structure. a school which might give higher education than the grammar schools provided, was erect- ed on the north bank of Black River. This building burned in 1844 and was replaced by a more modern structure, which contained numerous improvements. The present-day academy with its list of graduates, many of whom have attained national, and in some cases world fame, is something to be looked forward to by the children in the lower grades, and something to be fondly recollected by those who have spent four happy years within its walls. 44-0-0-Q-Q-Q
