®br Whtsprr Qrowth of Our School HE FIRST SCHOOL in Pardeeville was situated in the northern part of the village known as Canada Street. It was a frame building of one room requiring only one teacher. Onto this building an addition was later built making two rooms and requiring two teachers. In 1860-61 a new brick building was also ere fled on Canada Street. This new building had two stories, one room in each ory and required two teachers. A few years later an addition was made to be used as a primary room. This building was later sold to John Weldon who tore it down. In 1904, about twenty-one years ago, a high school was built in the south-ea ern part of the village. It was a frame rftrudture of two Tories, and its co$t is estimated at twenty thou- sand dollars. All the rooms were not needed at that time, so it was not completely finished until a year later. There were eight teachers at this time in both grades and high school, and as the school grew and new courses were entered the attic and basement room were used as class rooms. In 1922 a barracks was built. This barracks was used two and a half years as a school room, to make room in the original building for the increasing high school. In 1923 a new brick building of two Tories was erected. This is the be$t building Pardee- ville has ever had. Its co$t is estimated at sixty thousand dollars. The fir$t principal of the schools in Pardeeville was Mr. Doudna. who remained here two years. He was succeeded by Mr. Ray who remained only one year. Mr. Ray was followed by Mr. Emmett who remained four years. During this time ftudents ranged in num- ber from ten to fifteen in the high school. Our school had not been accredited up to this time and was not fully accredited until the time of Mr. Henkel who succeeded Mr. Emmett. The enrollment increased to seventy under Mr. Henkel who was our principal for seven years. He was succeeded by Mr. Cook. There was a decrease in attendance under Mr. Cook, who le- mained three years. Mr. Cook was succeeded for one year by Mr. Rosenthal, who was in turn succeeded by Mr. Nelson. Mr. Nelson was principal for three years, and the school prospered well under both of them. For the past three years Mr. Zimmerman has been our principal and the enrollment has increased to about one hundred and forty students. m
