A hotel, bakery, two butcher shops, five miscellaneous stores, two hardware stores, Chevrolet and Ford dealers, a bank, a light plant, two lumber yards, and a chicken hatch- ery were among the businesses . A few of these have unfortunately disappeared from Wheatfield. Some still remain in a new and different form, such as the bank; and a few new businesses have been added, namely, restaurants and construction companies . The first school began in 1890. The first building was 28 feet by 60 feet and two stories high. In 1906, a two -story brick building with a basement replaced the frame building. In 1941, an addition of 28 feet by 36 feet of two -stories and basement was added at an expense of $5,246. Until the year 1931, the Wheat- field School belonged to the town of Wheatfield . 13

The Student Council awarded prizes of money to the classes with the best floats. Freshmen received third prize; Sophomores, sec- ond; and the Juniors and Seniors tied for first . At the half of the game between Wheat - field and Battleground, queen candidates and the classes ' floats appeared on the field. As a tribute to the past years, the former queens were there and pre- sented the candidates with gifts . Then the new 1969-70 homecoming queen was announced.
