T'7aE'i'f ' T 1 - Q Q Tl1is year, 19238, marks the 50th anniversary of the laying of the cornerstone of what is now the Norwich High School building. lt is Very fitting that, tive decades later, the class of 1938 should review those 1'llllL'ia1l01l2ll mile-stones which preceding' elasses have traveled laefore us. ln 1788 the tirst sc-hool ol' Norwich, the Academy, was built. .lt had only one room, and the teaeher was aH'eetionately ealled Little Master Root. Students of all ages attended elasses there, and in time it proved inadequate. During the year 1841, subscriptions were started for a new building, which, when finished, consisted of three stories and had an attendanee of three hundred pupils. This sehool was raised on a lot purchased from 1VilliaIn Garnsey for rl41,000. NVe recognize the name Garnsey now hy Guernsey. The following year the Academy was ineorporated by the Regents of the Vniversity of the State of New York. The Academy continued Rr a private sehool for thirty years and in 1873 became a Union Free School under the Board of llldneation. The boys and girls attended separate elasses in this structure until 1887, when agitation was started for a new school building. It was Voted in 1888 to eonstruet a new school, and during the same year it was dedicated.
