IIDDICBDIIIH U School Hlstory ENEWENSWEFQEHXNEGQENKWSHINBDQKWSBQENEMEEQ from infomation et hand, the first school house in the village of Johnsville stood west of Clarence 1Brennems.n's home, which is the third house on the south side of the street, running west from the town square and some- times called the Delaware Road. The road running north and south through the village is now State Route 3111. Later this building was moved across the street and now foms the front pert of Cromer Rinehartw residence. ' . 'V' in ' ' ' r- Puulsssmuii ' h i H QEEMZWENSEN53913F5C4253MEESBXENSWZNXNENSBQXNEHRME lg ' S so 2 'E 44 In 1858-59 a two-story frame school house was built at the north end of town on the east side of the road, and was used until New Yen:-'s Dey, 1887, when the pupils were moved into the new brick building which formed the nucleus of our present school plant. C Kors will be said about this brick building later ond. 1 It is not known how long the school board retained ownership of the frame building after its use for school purposes was abandoned. Sometime after the turn of the century it was being used by the Grange Society as its hell end meeting plnce and the annual oyster suppers given by the Grengers were con- sidered quite an event. About 1935. or perhaps 1936, the Johnsville Board of lducation purchased the building, intending to take off the second story and move the first story to the present school grounds. It was found thst brick had been placed between the outside and inside walls of the building up to the second story Kperhaps one of the first and earliest types of insulntloninvhich meds it difficult to moveg The board then decided to tske off the second story and move it to the present school site where, until the beginning of World War 11, it was used as an Industrial Arts Boon, or mop Room, for the high school. It is now used by the Music Department and the beautiful strains of nuslc made by youngsters learning to play verious bend lnstrunents are wnfted 'sway on the breeses before reaching the ears of those in the mein building. The brick building mentioned above wee dedicated Hovember 27, 1885, and cost S1b282.59, complete. This was the result of previous planning on the pert of the school board when on July 22, 1885. sores of ground were purchased for t5oo.oo. On May 13, 1885 e bond issue for 00.00 was put to the vote of the residents. Thirty-two cnet ballots in favor of s. new building, and thirty-nine' sgninst, with one blank ballot. Again on June 23. 1885, the voters went to the polls to vote on s t5ooo.oo bond issue. This time the vote was thirty-nine for end thirty-two against. This building comprised two large rooms, one up end one down. Later a partition was placed in the large room downstairs and these two rooms were occupied by Grades 1 to 8, end the lex-ge room upstairs was used for the high school. At that time only two years of high school work were offered end the first commencement took place in the spring of 1888. Later three yeers of work were offered, end the fell of 1928 the school was granted e. charter as n first-class high school end four years of work were offered. Sometime eround 1915-16 s partition wee placed in the middle of the large upstairs roon.s,nd in the fnll of 1952 part of this partition wss removed to sake a large study hell for the high school students, most of the building now being used for high school purposes. Graduation exercises were held in the churches in the village, usually the brick church. KL E 10
