9 HISTORY OF UNITY PUBLIC SCHOOL Our first log schoolhouse, consisting of a one room plan, was erected in 1874. At the time, it was sufficient for the few pupils, and Mr. H. L. Jacobitz was the first teacher. He was succeeded by Mary Eastman and she by I. J. Austin, respectively. It was I. J. Austin, who started the two room system, with four lower elementary grades in one room. Later, in the year of 1885, John R. Salter, graduate of the University of Wisconsin, started our first High School. His first graduating class consisted of the following: Fred Vaughan, John Fremont, Arthur Ransom, Jennie Cook, Worden Cook, Calvin Burton, and Grant McCurdy. In 1890, a fire caused by several pupils playing with matches in the woodshed destroyed the school- house. After a short time a new one was constructed, being much better equipped, but soon it was too Small- Our present school was built in 1911. S C H O U L J A N I T O R This school year, we welcomed a new janitor to our school ---- Clarence Edblom. Clarence is taking the place of Albert Weiland who passed away last summer. Clarence is well liked by everyone and keeps himself busy keeping the school clean.
