(SHtr i’rlimil 1809 - 1959 staff. A homemaking department to give the girls the same opportunity that the agriculture department was giving to the boys was installed in 19 -0. The present modern structure of steel, brick and glass was opened to students of the district in 1953. As enrollments increased rapidly, a large wing to the existing building was added and the elementary grades moved into the shining, beautiful addition in 1958. The dedication of our beautiful new school building will take place in the spring of 1959. A sesquicentennial ob- servance, depicting the progress of ed- ucation in our community during the past 150 years, will be a source of pride to the inhabitants of the Heuvelton school district. The student body, too, is deeply grateful for all the opportuni- ties offered to them that were not even envisioned in 1809» With what astonishment and amazement the students who en- tered the small log-cabin school in 1809 would gaze at the shin- ing school and modern facilities that are offered to the village students in 19591 A stroll through spacious classrooms, modern trade school unit, at- tractive homemaking apartment, commodious gymnasium, and up-to- the-minute science laboratory would be an almost unbelievable experience to students who gath- ered around a pot-bellied stove and laboriously wrote with chalk on a small slate. In the winter of I808-I809 the first school in this community was opened in a log cabin near the site of the present building. Dyer Badger was the teacher, and classes were conducted only during the winter months. The present site was sold to the district in 1822 by Jacob Vanden Heuvel, a wealthy landowner. A stone building was erected in 1825. The stone building was torn down and a large wooden structure was erected in 187U« As the need arose, this build- ing was remodeled to keep pace with the ever increasing student body. The library, laboratory, office, and high school classes eventually were placed on the second floor while the grade school classes convened on the first floor. In 1935 an agriculture wing was built, and a full time agriculture teacher was hired. In 1938 a full time music teacher was added to the teaching PKfflfl? • IS m 1 -; •' i t . vgf-ytw i r ♦ a» v Tfssfiwsia ■-• V K• i.V !»• I v • V :.%;7i ?f..4
