Tirst School Mouse in Clay Zownskip This school was built in 1842 one- half miles east of Wawpecong. It was constructed of hewn logs, with a clap-board roof and puncheon floor. The building was equipped with an old-fashioned box stove and split benches without backs on which the children were compelled to sit all day and study their lessons from books resting on their laps. Kid Hack Used in 1922 Pictured at right is one of the hacks used during the first year of school at Clay. It was driven by Sherman Kendall.
