Y N' E 0 1 9 4 6 Page F OREWORD The class of 1946 feels that it is appropriate to use as the theme of their yearbook the history of higher education in Wilson. This year is the one-hundredth anni- versary of the founding of the Wilson Collegiate Institute. It is the purpose of any yearbook to record the happenings for that school year. This year we have tried to record the outstanding memories and events of the past, both by a written his- tory and pictorial records. We hope this book will serve as a reminder to many people of the happy days spent vvithin the walls of the Wilson schools. It has been our sincere desire to make this permanent record as accurate and complete as possible. We wish to thank the many former students and teachers who have so generously loaned pictures and assisted in gathering information.

The first school was taught evenings for adults by Luther Wilson during thehmonths of January and Feb- ruary, 1817. Classes were held in a house about one mile south of the village on the A. B. Arnold farm. The first school house in the town of Wilson was built of logs in 1819 on the Lake Road about one and one-half miles east of the village. The first teacher was Dr. Warner of Olcott, and the average attendance was twelve pupils. The first school house erected in the village of Wilson was a log school on the southeast corner of Lake and Young Streets, the later site for the home of Luther Wilson which was still later to become the Wilsonian Club. This school was built in 1820, and the first teacher was Almira Welch, succeeded by David Murray. In 1852 a cobblestone school house was built on Pettit Street just west of the Baptist church. This school was used for many years, and con- tinued as the Primary Department after the Union Free School was organized. There is talk about other school buildings in the village. However this structure was the village school, and other places were used only temporarily during periods of overcrowding or building. When the Pettit Street school became too small, an office of Luther Wilson, also cobblestone, south of his own home and the Dox Block were used as annexes. In 1900-1901 when the Union School building was under construction, the primary school was held in an old cheese factory at the foot of High Street, the intermediate grades were in a Free Me- thodist Church on Washington Street, and high school was held in the Town Hall Ca frame structure which had been the Methodist Church and moved from the site of the present church.l The use of this Town Hall and the office of Luther Wilson was at very different times and yet in the same vicinity of town, therefore confusing. THE WILSON COLLEGIATE INSTITUTE In 1845, the citizens of Wilson under the leadership of Luther Wilson decided that their children should be given opportunity for preparing themselves for college. Before this time they had to travel far from home to receive this education. There was an academy at Lewiston as early as 1828, and one at Yates, Orleans County. A meeting was held on March 13, 1845 and a decision was made to form a joint stock company. Simon Sheldon donated the land and 350, and Luther Wilson gave 8500 toward the project. A subscription was circulated and fifty other citi- zens contributed to the total amount of 82454 which was sufficient in those times to erect a very substantial two story cobblestone building. Some of these pledges were fulfilled in work and in stone, some pledges were small and some large, but all were working for a common cause. At the second meeting on March 22, 1845, it was decided to have fifteen trustees, and the following persons were elected: Luther Wilson Cpresidentj, Hiram Tabor CSecre- taryl, Morgan Johnson Ctreasurerj, Simon Sheldon Ccol- lectorl, Enos Hamblin, Alexander Pettit, George W. Pratt, Theodore Dwight, Luman Case, Enoch Pease, Aaron Mix, Sylvester Parsons, Alexander Miner, Stephen Wilson and Russell Robinson. They organized with the officers as shown above. According to a history of the school given by Mr. James G. O. Brown, at the time of the fiftieth year celebration and which evidently was compiled with great care, the school building was completed and opened the last of November, 1945. It was incorporated by the Regents of the University of the State of New York on February 19, 1846. Benjamin F. Wilcox was engaged as principal. He came from the Yates Academy, and brought with him David H. Davis as assistant., and Miss Charlotte S. Hal- sey as preceptress. These two men remained at the head of the school until 1857. Quoting from an interesting letter written by David H. Davis in May 3, 1899 he says: We opened the insti- tute in the summer of 1845 with about two hundred stu- dents, and about as fine a set of young gentlemen and ladies as you ever saw collected together. The view of such a collection was a matter of pride to those who as- sume to be their teachers. What has been the destiny of all that splendid group of young people? Were they made any wiser and better for being a few months under our instruction? The true teacher carries with him continu- ally a burden of responsibility in reference to the future of those committed to his charge. I sometimes wonder what my influence may have been, on the mind and heart and character of the young who came under my influence and instruction .... I don't like a pessimistic view of life, so I will hope that as a teacher I did some good, made some people wiser and happier . . . 'i The school was widely advertised and attracted many students from the surrounding area as well as from distant places. The catalogues describe the school as being re- moved from the immediate interruptions and annoyances of a central location because it was away from the busi- ness center of the village. The good character of the inhabitants and the absence of allurements to vice which abound in many of our larger villages recommend Wilson. This institution is situated in the village of Wil- son, Niagara County, N. Y., slightly elevated above the waters of Lake Ontario, of which it commands a fine view, surrounded by a region of rare fertility. The beauty, healthfulness, and re- tirement of this location, render it peculiarly attractive to those desirous of study and literary pursuits. Not among the least of the advantages which Wilson presents, are the interest and good feeling manifested by the people towards the school and students, and the absence of those enticements to vice which abound in many of our larger villages. Instances of injury, it is true, may occur, but it is felt that if youth cannot be safe here, they can be safe nowhere. Mr. G. Herbert Swich claimed that the school by the fall of 1846 had three .hundred and thirty-nine applicants of which there were fifty-nine more boys than girls,. and eighty-six were non-resident students. Students are listed in the 1852 catalogue as coming from Orangeport, New- fane, Lockport, Porter, Cambria, Medina, Ransomville, Pekin, Jeddo, Beachville, Youngstown, Royalton, Roches- ter, Bellevue, Olcott, Ogden, Eagle Harbor.

Within twenty years time from the founding of the school, and ten years after the above list, free schools had been adopted by this and other states, so that we find the students coming from a much smaller area as shown by the following list in 1863: Rochester, Youngs- town, Kendall, Niagara Falls, Tonawanda, Porter, East Wilson, Newmarket, C. W., 8th N. Y. Artillery, Qnd Mounted Rifles, Cambria, Lockport, Newfane, Somerset, Olcott, Pendleton. Because of the transportation of those days, the st.u- dents from away found it necessary to stay in the village at least during the week and boarded in private homes. In 1863 they could find good rooms for fifty to seventy- five cents a week, and board for 81.75 to 89.25 per week. Many of the students basket-boarded which means they brought their own food for the week. If they were lucky the lady of the house would prepare it for them. Imagine the task of keeping the food for eight boarders separated! The school year was divided into three terms of fifteen weeks each and tuition per term was as follows: for Com- mon English Branches and Natural Philosophy 84.00, for each of the higher branches 50 cents until three of them were taken, and the highest rate for all the sciences con- jointly was 85.50, for languages 86.00, music with use of instrument 810.00, painting and drawing 82.00 and inci- dental expenses listed as 25 or 35 cents. Tuition bills were to be paid one-half at the time of entrance, and the other half at the middle of each term. The subjects taught were as follows: Algebra, Astron- omy, Arithmetic, CManual and Mentall, Bookkeeping, Botany, Composition, Chemistry, Criticism, Evidences of Christianity, Elocution, French, English Grammar, Geometry, Geography, Greek, Geology, History, Latin, Law fConstitutional and Governmentalj, Logic, Mathe- matics, Orthography, and Orthoepy, Political Economy, Parsing, Philosophy fNatural, Mental, Moralj, Physiol- ogy, Reading, Roman Antiquities, Rhetoric, Surveying. All of these subjects with a staff of four or five teachers, and between two hundred and four hundred pupils during the various terms! The object of the school was stated as designed to give the students an opportunity to acquire a thorough and practical education. The aim was to have the pupil understand facts and their relations, rather than merely learning to repeat sentences. No dependence is placed upon the use of keys and printed questions. Every pupil was expected to write a composition once in two weeks. The gentlemen are expected to declaim and write alternately. The object of declamation is to give the pupil grace and confidence before an audience, and secure an easy, distinct and forcible enunciation of his own thoughts, or the thoughts of others. These rules will be rigidly adhered to. At the end of each term public examinations were given, partly written and partly oral. These examinations were very thorough, and according to a former graduate in an open letter fSigned D. A. to the Wilson Star in 1895 they were better than the later Regents system where a student may gain a Regents point at the minimum pass- ing grade the subject is dropped, and but a superficial knowledge acquired. In 1864 the students were divided into preparatory and academic groups. A system of pre- liminary examinations was established by the State De- partment and if passed gave the person a certificate that entitled him to admission to any Academy subject to the visitation of the Regents. By 1863-64 the Wilson Col- legiate Institute was offering diplomas for a Three Year Graduating Course or a Two Year Classical Course. However students could pursue parts of the courses or subject they chose. Under this system they had one hun- dred and five pupils in the Preparatory Course, eighty-four in the Graduating Course and eight in the Classical Course. The School was well equipped. The library had from 700 to 1000 books. A set of Chemical and Philosophical Apparatus was purchased, also maps, charts, diagrams and busts, for assisting scholars better to understand the several studies pursued. A Cabinet of Minerals and curi- osities, and an Electro-Magnetic apparatus were purchased The cost of the library and above equipment exceeded 81200. In 1845 the school was one of the ninety schools in the state designated to instruct a normal class. The number of students was limited to twenty-five and they would re- ceive gratuitous instruction for a single term. The age requirements were that the ladies must be sixteen and the gentlemen eighteen years old. According to the state law of 1855 the class was limited to twenty, and the school was paid 810 for each student, and they were to be in- structed in the science of teaching at least three per cent of the school yearf, There being no compulsory education laws at the time, all that the authorities could do was to stress in the cata- logues the importance of regular attendance and urge the parents to cooperate by sending their children regularly and asking the parents to confer with the teachers if the students became restless as pupils sometimes become discontented and dissatisfied because required to be in- dustriousf' The discipline of the school was designed to be par- ental. No motives were to be appealed to but those of duty and affection, as incentives to industry, obedience and fidelity . . . morals and manners out of school as well as in, are regarded as proper subjects of disciplinef' All students were required to be in their rooms at and after half-past seven o'clock in the evening. The object of this regulation was to protect the studious from inter- ruption at unseasonable hours, and restrain all from mis- improving their time by assembling at each other's rooms, or at places of public resort. Attendance at balls and dancing parties was prohibited unless parents sent special directions to the teachers. However in 1857, attendance was expressly prohibited and would be regarded as a flagrant offence and treated accordingly. All students were expected to attend the church of 'their choice every Sabbath unless providentially detained, and points were given on report cards for so doing. These report cards gave marks also for scholarship, deportment and punc- tuality on a point system amounting to a maximum of 45 counts per term. i u n Two literary societies were organized immediately upon the founding of the school. They were known as the Alpha Phi and the Kappa Phi. They were co-organized into a confederate association known as the Philadelphian Continued on page 10 as as oo 14 D: oo ea oo 14 U7 :D U7 -J ll U7 7. .Q kia vi, igpwl K , VW., . mv-nz.-.W. v.,pg.,N: 4. 9 . ... 535552 25223.

The societies met on alternate Tuesday evenings for improvement in rhetorical exercises under the super- vision of the teachers. Every student belonged to one or the other of these societies. The badges for the members of the Alpha Phi society were of blue ribbon,and the badge of the Kappa Phi were small wreaths made of braided white ribbon. Each society had a paper which contained selections written by the students. The catalogue for 1853 claimed that other schools had copied this plan. Years later in 1873 they had a large reunion as explained elsewhere. Professor Wilcox died in LeRoy, New York in the sum- mer of 1876 and was buried at his home town in South Bend, Indiana where his wife and daughter were residing in 1899. David H. Davis lived a much longer time in Ow- osso, Michigan. The second principal of the school was Roderick Bald- win C1857-9D who later lived in Warrensburg, Missouri where he died in 1894. At the time of his death he had a title of Major and was then editor of the Standard-Herald of that place. He was more directly connected with Wilson than some of the other principals because he married El- bertine A. Tabor, daughter of Dr. H. B. Tabor of this village. Charles Kelsey was a teacher in the school and then principal of the school for six years. Mr. Sanford Hayne characterized him as a man with a feeling for scholars. Asher B. Evans was a student in Wilson in 1854 and after attending college was principal several places before he came to the Collegiate Institute as principal for the year 1865-66. After this year he was principal of the Lock- port Union Schools until his death in 1891. He was widely known as one of the foremost educators in the state. In a Niagara County directory for 1869 a Reverend George H. Miller, is listed as principal of the school, but this is the only mention of his name that I have found. The Collegiate Institute was a very popular school especially during the years when Benjamin Wilcox was the principal. It was supported by the tuition of the stu- dents and appropriation from the State Literature Fund. This so-called Literature Fund was the earliest form of State aid. The fund was established by an act in 1790 and was to be an income from certain tracts of land and pro- ceeds from their lease or sale. In 1813 these lands were sold and the fund thus increased. It was distributed ac- cording to the number of pupils in classics and higher branches of learning enrolled in the academies. Education in 1845 was not on the basis of equality of opportunity. A Common School Fund of the State was first distributed in 1815 on the basis of population, and each county had to raise an equal amount in taxation. Each district had to furnish a site, school building and furnish fuel, and then they would receive money in the district 'according to the number of children between the ages of five and fifteen. If the money available from the state and taxes was not enough to pay the teacher's salary, a Rate Bill provided that the balance was to be made up by an assessment on the parents according to the atten- dance of their children in school. Thus many parents kept their children home. ' T1-in UNION FREE Scnoor. In 1853, a law was passed enabling Union Free School Districts to be established from one or more smaller dis- tricts providing that one-third of the inhabitants of such districts were present and that two-thirds of these voted for the union. Thus the trend for free schools was well under way by the end of Professor Wilcox's regime in Wilson. In another place I stated that by 1863 pupils had ceased to come from great distances, also, the trend was for smaller enrollment. In 1863 pupils had ceased to come from great distances, also, the trend was for smaller enrollment. In 1852 there were 381 enrolled, in 1857, 314 and in 1863 only 197 C92 in the true academic departmentl. During the Civil War years the Institute seems to have had a struggle to survive. All written evidence is very vague on the years immediately preceding the formation of the Union Free School District. Asher Evans left Wilson in 1866. Only the information from the Niagara County directory has been of factual use. The Union District was organized only after a great deal of discussion. According to tradition, at the village meeting, a canvass was taken, and, thinking that there might be a tie vote, Reuben Wilson asked a Reverend Garfield to talk and keep talking until he returned. Then Mr. Wilson went after a Captain Bunn who lived on the Youngstown Road, and brought him back to cast the de- ciding vote. The Union District thus formed embraced the former districts numbered one, two, five and nine. Num- ber one had been the village school, number two east of the village at Maple Street and Youngstown Road, num- ber iive south of the village on the townline just south of Ide Road, and number nine to the west on the Youngs- town and Randall Roads. These were later designated by the board as Primaries 1, 2, 3, and 4 in the same order. The trustees of the Collegiate Institute deeded their lot and building to the new Board of Education. This Brst board of education was composed of H. N. Johnson, president, Sylvester Parsons, Vincent Seeley, J. G. O. Brown, Jerome Gifford, Hervey Sanford, Henry Perry, W. Richardson and Lorenzo Pratt. Their first meetings were held in December, 1869, and much of the business discussed was concerned with repairs for the academy building and the securing of a principal. They tried to procure Benjamin Wilcox but he evidently declined. The budget included items for building new side- walks, a new fence, papering, painting, stoves, fuel, a new pump, etc. to the total cost of 8320. The Bve teachers were to receive 85437 among them. The new Academic Department was opened in Septem- ber, 1870, with H. C. Hall as principal and seemingly the only instructor. A grammar department was also opened in the academy building, leaving the primary grades on Pettit Street. The following rules for the school were sub- mitted by Professor Hall and adopted by the board: Rules 1. Each pupil will pursue at least three regular studies. 2. No pupil will abandon a study without the consent of both Lrachcx and principal. S. Any pupil who is absent from class without rendering a sudicient excuse to the teacher will be reported to the principal. 4. No pupil will be excused for absence from any session lmless present- ing a written excuse, giving good reasons for such absence. 5. Should a pupil be tardy at any session without a written excuse such tardiness will be registered, and two such -marks will equal a delinquency. 6. Communication during school hours, between pupils is always a great source of annoyance to teachers and diligent pupils, and in order that it may be prevented, each offence of this kind will be noted by the teacher, and when any pupil shall have three of these marks they will be registered as a delinquency. 7. All unexcused delinquencies are registered and when the number amounts to five or any number more than five or less than ten, no- tice thereof is given to the pupil and also to his or her parent or guardian. 8. When the number of unexcused delinquencies amounts to ten, the pupil is dismissed from the school. Continued on page 11 A HUNDRED YEARS OF PROGRESS Continued from page 10 9. Should a pupil be dismissed from school on account of bad conduct, he or she is reinstated only by vote of the Board of Education. 10. Disorderly conduct in and around the building during any inter- mission is strictly forbidden, and any pupil persisting on the same will be suspended. 11. Pupils damaging or defacing the school property in any manner, will be held liable for all damages done, and in addition may be sus- pended by the principal. 12. The gentlemen and ladies in the several departments shall be dis- missed for recess at separate hours. 13. The use of tobacco in or around the building is prohibited, and any pupil indulging in it contrary to this rule may be reported to the Board of Education, or suspended by the Principal. 14. Improper language of every kind is out of place in and around the school building and is strictly forbidden and when in the opinion of the teachers and principal, pupils are pursuing a course of conduct detrimental to themselves and the school, notice thereof will be im- mediately given to their parents or guardians and if such action is continued such pupils will be suspended. H. C. Hall C1870-71D had laid the ground work well and during the administration of Freeman A. Greene C1871-6j, the school really began to progress again. The Board adopted a more rigid classification of scholars, allotting four years to the primary grades, three to the grammar, and three years for the Academic Course in which there was a choice of the Scientific Course or the College Preparatory Course. In 1875 a two term year was adopted fit had been fourj. Many of the older Collegiate Institute rules seem to have been revived such as the one that all scholars must be in their rooms by 7:30 P.M., and study hours were set from 7:30 to 9:00 P.M. In the fall of 1873 the principal was asked to reorganize the Alpha Phi, Kap- pa Phi and Philadelphian Societies. Even the enrollment in the Primary department grew because provisions had to be made to bring the higher pupils of Primary No. 1 to occupy the south room of the academy building. The Board of Education offered 81.00 for first prize and 8.50 for second in the academical and grammar depart- ments for the best writing and spelling. In June, 1874, the board provided for the first gradua- tion from the Union School. A committee was appointed to secure the diplomas and a seal for the school. Two hun- dred programs were to be printed at the cost of 834-.00, and the decision was made that the society colors fAlpha Phi or Kappa Phil to which the student belonged should be attached to the diploma. These first graduates were cousins-Lydia Pettit CSwallowD and Hellen Pettit fDoxl. In 1875, there were also two graduates-Carrie B. Marks fMcChesneyD and Ada Parsons. In 1876 Denie A. Markle was the lone recipient of a diploma. Freeman A. Greene left Wilson to be Superintendent of the Albion Union School until his death in 1899, an ad- ministration of nearly twenty-five years. In 1876, the salary of the principal was fixed at 351000, and several rules laid down regulating his powers. He was given the power to call a teachers meeting once a month, to have advisory control over the teachers as regards methods of teaching and government, and was to use proper methods to secure greater regularity of attendance in school. The person who gained these definite powers was A. Melvin Cooper f1876-77D. The school also seems to have reorganized its curriculum to include Classical CGreek and Latinj, Modern Language, Latin and English courses. The next eight years of school history caused a great deal of confusion because the two principals, S. J. Par- dee and A. H. Burdick, were here twice. Unfortunately also there are no written sources from 1879 to 1890, such as board minutes or Wilson Stars. However two school catalogues, autograph books, a few clippings and diplomas of former students helped to prove the following material. One very interesting fact stated by Mrs. Mary Lewis VVakeman and verified by Mrs. Carrie Martin is that from 1879 to 1881 Professor Pardee ran a private academy because the outside districts refused to support the high school. However by Sept. of 1881, through legal pres- sure of some of the citizens, the Academic Department was reestablished. Further proving the point about a private Academy, programs and a catalogue published in this time have on them The Wilson Academy and tuition was 86.00 for the tall term and 968.00 for the winter and spring terms. In a Lockport Daily Journal, for August 31, 1880, the following statement was found: The school will be conducted upon the same terms and in the same manner as last year. The catalf-gue for-1881-82 is calleda circular of the Wilson Union School, so the action of' the citizens had been fruitful. Also the diplomas for the class of 1882 are from the Union School. Much room is given in the school catalogues of the period to the emphasis toward a practical education, al- though in 1880 the catalogue states: It has been said that no one knows what is meant by that word. They also list ten things which should be taught in addition to what is learned from text books: to study intelligently, to think comprehensively, to write grammatically, to converse fluently, to reckon mathematically, to be polite, to he truthful and honest, to be temperate, to be indus- tl-i0uS, to be self-reliant. This catalogue also gives some very wise and interesting advice to students and parents. To Young Men and Young Ladies: It will be an investment which no one can take away from you, and will pay an increasing percentage as the years roll on. No one ever succeeded in life who was unwilling to make the attempt. Success is usually the result of effort, not of accident. Those who would acquire positions of trust and profit must make the proper prepa- ration. Advice to Students: The student who only half prepares his lessons gets very little value received: he pushes obstacles before him instead of removing them out of his way, until he gets such a pile before him that he stumbles and falls. To Parents: You who deny your children the education you are able to give them may live to see them 'hewers of wood and drawers of water' when, if you had done your duty to them, they might have 'sat with the elders in the gates'. Both Mr. Pardee and Mr. Burdick still have ardent admirers among former students of the school. Mr. Par- dee went from here to Niagara Falls, and ultimately they were both at Rosebank, Staten Island. The next eighteen years were presided over by Charles Luther C1885-9lD, Thomas E. Lockhart H891-931, Hiram Hustleby C1893-QSJ, and Charles Scheck H898-February 19031. Mr. Luther became a Presbyterian minister after leaving Wilson, while the others continued in the teaching profession. Thomas E. Lockhart went to Nlayville, N.Y.g Hiram Hustleby to Depew, N. Y., Nebraska, and finally back to Niagara Falls where he was in the United States Customs service: Charles Scheck went from VVilson to Niagara Falls, to Honeoye Falls, and to Rochester. Mr. Scheck later obtained a Doctors Degree and has published several text books. Continued on page 14 1914 -4 1 .1 C-'.-N - . o.f,...w,,, VID,-1'-'E 125533 5Q.:Ur:' rf. mai! In Lck?

Nor shall pupils in this school building, in the yard, or in the vicinity of the school, indulge in scufliing, loud hal- looing, or rudeness of any kind, nor in throwing snowballs, stones or any other missiles that may endanger property, or tend to vex or annoy each other. In 1889, a brick annex was added to the old Collegiate Institute building and the primary department was moved into it. This was probably the time when the Pettit Street school was abandoned, although it has been impossible to prove. The students of these days recall the morning assem- blies, especially under Mr. Hustleby. They were required to give extemporaneous one or two minute speeches on any of numerous subjects. The examples given were on the potato, on a mosquito, a sleigh-ride and a mule. There were Friday afternoon exercises under Mr. Luther and once a term every pupil had to recite a poem and also to write an essay and read it from the stage. Mr. Hustleby is credited by many of his former students for doing a great deal to build up the school and especially in bringing older boys back to finish their education. There were a great many school socials, minstrel shows and other entertainmmts for the purpose of raising money to buy a piano. It was finally purchased in March, 1895, for the sum of 825000. A Musical, Literary and Debating society was organized at this time. There were usually debating societies in the school, however here are some interesting topics debated at this particular time: That woman does more good for mankind by quiet influence than by public electioneeringf' that all women who pay taxes shall vote, and that a diligent student will gain more from reading than by observation. This last was decided in the negative. There was also quite a drive for better attendance. In September 1894, a long list of pupils who had been absent one or more times the previous week was published in the Star with an exhortation for better cooperation by the parents, and in 1895 a truant officer was hired for 81.00 per day when needed. This probably was a result of the Compulsory Education Law of 1894 which made parents liable for fine or imprisonment or both. Much was done to raise the academic standard, and a board resolution was passed that all pupils were to study spelling until they could pass with a 90 per cent mark. Mr. Hustleby must have been a good teacher and used unusual methods to impress his students. Stories are told of marching a class around and around the stove while they repeated a rule until it was learned. In this period the title of preceptress was abolished, and changed to assistant principal. In June 1895, the school celebrated its fiftieth anniver- sary with special ceremonies. The graduation exercises were held on Wednesday, June 24th, in the Baptist Church. There were only two graduates, Minnie Sarah Sutherland, and Clarence Elmer Johnson. On Thursday morning the school was opened for visitation, and then in the afternoon and evening there were many speeches and musical selections by the students, faculty and for- mer students. The jubilee had been advertised in the Wil- son Star in the following words: Jubilee-June 18, 1896 at 7:30-at which time every- one is expected to 'tell a story' of old school days, 'sing a song,' 'speak a piece,' or 'whistle' or take the conse- quences. All old friends, new friends, or just everyday all the time friends are invited, none must wait a special invitation, but fly here, ride here, wheel here, tumble here, walk here, roll here, jump here, anyway to get here, and come to have a good time and have it. On June 24, 1896, the Wilson Alumni Association was first organized with Burt M. Pettit, president, C. E. John- son, vice-presidentg and Arthur D. Pease as secretary- treasurer. This first attempt reported in the Wilson Star must have been short-lived as the present association dates back to 1901. The plan for a teacher training class was revived by Mr. Hustleby, and they evidently had a class for at least a couple of years. The old Collegiate Institute had been designated by the Board of Regents to instruct such a class, but in the early years of the Union Free School there is no record of such a class. After a few years Mr. Hustle- by's attempt must have lapsed, because the Training Class of 1899-1900 formed by Mr. Scheck is the first one that most people remember. It was taught by Miss Alvira Martin for several years. There had to be at least ten students to have such a class so there was a lapse of two or three years about 1923, and finally the plan to have such a class was abolished in the fall of 1930. Training Classes in the various schools served a very definite pur- pose in preparation of teachers because the State Normal Schools were unable to meet the growing demand for tea- chers as compulsory education laws were more rigidly enforced. However in comparing teacher training with those days and the present, it must be stated, in passing that some pupils who failed to make the regular high school course were able to graduate through credits gained by joining the training class. This might be the place to make a statement about salaries offered the teachers in the early days of the Un- ion School. In 1872 the primary teachers of the village re- ceived SB6 per week in summer and 87 in the winter, while the rural primary teachers received a dollar less per week. In 1878 the board voted to make these rural salaries 84 in summer and S5 in winter. The principal's salary aver- aged around 81,000 and the preceptress 8500. These same salaries were still in effect in the early part of the nineteen hundreds. As far back as 1887 the state had begun to work for more uniform licensing of teachers, and the school commissioners voluntarily adopted standardized tests sent from Albany. At that time there were three grades of certificates, first, second and third. Later tea- chers with normal school training were licensed for life. Since 1941 high school teachers must have a Master's Degree in order to obtain a permanent license. With the-ee increased demands in the education of teachers, Wilson salaries rose rather abruptly in the 1920's and 1930's until an elementary teacher started at S900 and high school teacher at 81100, thus receiving as much as the principals of former times. The general in-service training was started by a Tea- chers' Institute in Ithaca in 1843. By 1885 attendance was compulsory and pay while attending was mandated by Albany. Many of the Institutes for this area were held at Niagara Falls and in the early 1900's many were held in Wilson because this was the only school building large enough in this Supervisory District. Teachers from all over the area came for one week, and the town was thrown open to them. Many items of thanks for cooperation on the part of the citizens were inserted in the Wilson Star by the Board of Education. Such institutes were complete- Continued on page 15 A HUNDRED YEARS OF PROGRESS Continued from page 14 ly abandoned by the State in 1912 and were superceded by the shorter teachers' meetings of the present. In November 1899, at a special board meeting a letter was read from the State Department declaring that the building was unsafe. In March of the next year, the Train- ing Class inspector seems to have forced the issue by de- claring that a new building would have to be erected or the State Department would withdraw the privilege of allowing a training class. In March 1900, a special voters meeting approved the new building. It was to be sixty feet square, with a hall running through the middle of the first floor. In the south part of the building there were to be two rooms for the primary and intermediate grades and two rooms on the north side for any other necessary grades. The first floor of the brick annex was to be used for cloak rooms and a training class room. On the second fioor there was to be an assembly room forty feet by sixty feet with a stage toward the center of the building. On the east front of the building there were to be two class rooms, and the old brick part was to contain cloak rooms, a laboratory, and a trustees and teachers room. The cobble- stone building was torn down for the sum of 8100 and the new building erected for the sum of S12,000. This work was all done between July 30th, and February 25th. The Wilson Star had this to say about the new building: As they walk through the various rooms they note the modern furnishings not a few of the older persons of the community make mental comparisons of the buildings in which their young ideas learned to shoot, with the fine structure of today, with its patent ventilators, steam heat, modern seats, high ceilings and well lighted rooms. However this building was not too well constructed. Within three years the casings around the windows were in need of repair, the contractors hadn't even cemented the cellar floor, and there was continual trouble with the heating system. In fact many former students will prob- ably remember the days when school had to close because the building couldn't be heated. During the years of Mr. A. M. McIlroy's C1903-271 ad- ministration, the school very definitely felt the impact of the compulsory education laws. When he came here, there were only seven teachers in the Union building, and three outside in rural buildings but by 1927 there were eighteen on the staff. The three rural schools had been gradually closed. The east school probably was closed about 1912, and the south school about 1915. By the fall of 1924, two portable annexes were placed in the back of the brick building, and the west school pupils were also brought into town. The high school had an average of twenty per cent non-resident students. School always opened for the day with a morning as- sembly where the Scripture was read and all the grades assembled together. The assembly hall contained one hun- dred and twenty seats, and with crowding three hundred children could be accommodated. The teachers took their place on the platform behind the principal who conducted these assemblies. In the first years that Mr. Mcllroy was here, he taught Greek, and Trigonometry. However in a rather few years these were dropped from the curriculum. The first modern language taught was German, but as in so many schools, this was discontinued during VVorld VVar I. Subsequently French was added, so that with Latin there were always two languages being taught. In 1917 Miss Martha Jane Cole was hired as the first physical education instructor. A law was passed at that time requiring so many minutes a day of physical training for all pupils. Exercises were done right in the class rooms, and the teachers on the first floor report they often won- dered whether the ceiling would hold. At this time an active girls basketball team was organized and practiced in the old Middleton Hall. This place was affectionately known as T. B. hall, because it was so cold. Many people will remember the school plays held in the Town Hall. There was a rule to the effect that nothing held in the school building could be charged for. These plays were cast from the entire student body. Many former pupils will remember the Decoration Day parades. All the pupils and teachers were required to march in the parade and there were sometimes two hun- dred school people in line. Each grade and class tried to wear distinctive costumes and marched with their teachers. It was a great occasion and much time was spent in drilling for perfection in marching. Commencement and Baccal- laureate were very formal affairs. The girls wore long white dresses, and there was always a formal reception. The Bac- calaureate Services rotated among the various churches of the village, with the music for the occasion furnished by the different choirs. It was not until the new building was erected in 1937 that these services were held in the school with a robed school choir furnishing the music. The Class of 1912, composed entirely of girls, decided they wanted to take a trip to Washinton. Their parents agreed and they went under the chaperonage of Mr. and Mrs. Mcllroy. For several years after this, each class took a trip to Washington. For a few years, some of the classes published annuals, but they were not like a modern year- book. They contained literary efforts of the students and many jokes on the members of the various classes. The only ones that have come to hand are: The Orange and Black 19143 The Tattler 1915, Starlight 1916, and The Oracle 1916. The 1916 publication was very successful in using pictures of the senior class and faculty. In J une, 1927, Mr. McIlroy retired after having served the school for twenty-four and one-half years. Upon his retirement he received many tokens of esteem. The senior class presented him with a Parker fountain pen, the jun- iors with a watch fob which was to go with the Howard watch presented at a special reception given by the Board of Education. The Alumni Association at their annual banquet presented Mr. McIlroy with Eve 820 gold pieces as an expression of the esteem of students who had left Wilson High School while he was principal. In later years, Mr. Mcllroy served on the Board of Education C1931-51, and, as its president for three years in the very important time, when plans were being laid for the new school across the street. In September, 1927, Arthur W. Blemaster came from Niagara Falls to be the principal of Wilson and remain at the head of the school until his death in December, 1944. During his administration the school reflected the trend towards an enriched curriculum. Increased enrollment in high schools gradually brought the necessity of vocational education even in the rural areas, and Wilson quickly re- flected the trend of the times. An agricultural department was opened in the fall of 1928 with Mr. Raymond Dike- man as teacher. In 1930 a homemaking department was opened with Miss Angeline Rice as teacher. These two new departments were housed in front basement rooms. In 1932 a Commercial Department was started with Miss Maxine Fitch, as teacher. It was placed in the former Training Class room as the training classes had been abandoned by this time.

For- tunately, this was not on a school day, and there was no damage to the main part of the building. However the bell tower was so weakened that it was considered unsafe to use it any longer and the citizens of Wilson no longer heard a school bell ring. For years the Union School building had proved inade- quate both in construction and in size for the school popu- lation. In August, 1934, Bley and Lyman were accepted as architects for a new school building and the contract signed in September. The new building and grounds were to cost approximately 2BQ20,000, of which 9S168,000 was to be raised in taxes. A W.P.A. grant furnished the balance of this money. Miss M. Gazelle Hoffman using a cere- monial nickel plated spade turned the first sod on April QQ, 1935, and excavations were started the next day. In July the cornerstone was laid with proper ceremonies. Dr. Harry Rockwell from State Teachers College was the guest speaker. The Wilson Legion band, and the school Glee Club took part in the program. Mr. Thomas Marks, presi- dent of the Board of Education, placed the cement with a silver trowel. Exactly one year from the time of breaking ground, the finished school was dedicated. An appropriate program was held in the new auditorium. Taking part in the cere- monies were G. Herbert Swick who read a history of the school: L. H. Bley, the architect: Thomas Marks, presi- dent of the Board of Educationg A. VV. Blemaster, princi- pal: Robert Burch, president of the senior class, Ora Pettit, representing the Alumni Association: Mrs. Helen Pettit Swallow, one of the first graduates of the Union Schoolg Bliss M. Gazelle Hoffman, School Superintendentg and Dr. Russel Carter, the main speaker for the occasion. This new building had a combined school gymnasium and auditorium, special equipment for the Homemaking, .Agricultural and Commercial Departments, a library, a school cafeteria and an inter-room speaking system. The use of school buses was started to bring in the high school pupils from the outlying areas. Within the next few years still other additions were made to the school faculty such as a girls physical education instructor, an Industrial Arts Department, a second music teacher for the grades and rural schools, a full time librarian and a part time Dental Hygienist. Already the new school was over- crowded and the Industrial Arts shop had to be put in the Old School across the street. This year with such a large enrollment in first and second grades, it was necessary to transfer the Agricultural Department back to the other school. At the present writing, it is hoped that an addition can be made in the very near future. In the summer of 1941, Wilson centralized its school system, thus bringing all the schools under the direction of a unified board of education which was chosen to repre- sent the whole area. The actual enrollment of the high school was not changed by this act as the children were being brought to the high school by bus. The total en- rollment for that year was 770. In 1940 and 1941, Wilson had its two largest graduating classes, both numbering over fifty. With the death of Mr. Blemaster, the students of the school lost a friend who had always shared their joys and guided them over the rough spots of school life. This year a new man has taken up the task of moulding the youthful characters of W'ilson Central School. Mr. L. Ernest Tarr is thus the second principal of the Wilson Central School which has had only five years of existence. As we look toward the future there are signs of further growth and expansion in the next century of progress. In closing, there are no more fitting words than those of E. T. Williams, president of the Niagara County Historical Association, who was a student many years ago at the Wilson Collegiate Institute: The Wilson School has cor- rectly depicted the evolutions of educational institutions in Niagara County. First the Academy, second the Union School, and finally the High School. -to which can now be added the Central School. Doaornv H.

Since that time many changes and improvements have been made in the curriculum. Down through the years, countless hundreds of pupils have made good through the instructional service. You are now standing on the threshold of another century of progress. That your names may be recorded in the pages of history as a credit to VVilson Central School, is the sincere wish of your Board of Education. 21 PRINCIPALS Charles L. Luther Thomas E.

Doten GRADE FACULTY RURAL SCHOOLS School Number Seven on Chestnut Street has been chosen, even though closed, to represent our rural schools because it is the oldest deeded land in the hands of the present school board. The property was given for a school by Herman Halsey in 184-3. It was originally painted red, and has since had new siding put on it. In later years three of Mr. Halsey's granddaughters taught there. It is believed that one of the very first teachers was William W. Wollaber, great-grandfather of the present senior class president.

They remember marching in the front door and up the stairs to the large study hall. The boys sat on the north side and the girls on the south. A platform was toward the street and the room was heated by two large stoves. Downstairs there were two recitation rooms which later became the grammar department. FIRST GRADE Sixty boys and girls entered first grade in September and were divided into two I'00ITlS. They earned their own money to contribute to the Junior Red Cross which amounted to about 5B11.00. Membership was IOOZ in both rooms. During the Bond Drive, each room had three service flags to display. The first grade also helped by bringing their contributions for the clothing drive and for the March of Dimes.

The second grade studied a unit on Indians and one on Eskimos. At the close of the Eskimo unit, a movie was shown on this subject and was very much enjoyed During the bond drive, Miss Hamblin's room sold S1475 worth of bonds, entitling them to seven service flags. 30 THIRD GRADE First Row-Collins, Pettit, Wood- cock, Cramer, Austin, Albright, Cole, Speckg Second Row-Bohl- man, Martin, Branch, Miss All- geier, Carey, Scheffler, Schefflerg Third Row-Wilbur, Schaal, Blood- good, Hammond, Randle, Bowles, Felix, Bohrman, Forderg Fourth Rou+Salada, Hutchinson, Secor, Schermerhorn, Forder, Schultz, Rohring, Reading, Brydges Grade three has an enrollment of 19 girls and 18 boys.

The third grade presented the Washington's Birthday Assembly which consisted of a skit and musical numbers. The following were absent when the picture was taken: Linda Campbell, Rodney Walker, Martin Volls, George Perks and James Pearce. FOURTH GRADE The fourth grade has the largest registration of any grade room, averaging forty- two pupils. The fourth grade was in charge of the Thanksgiving Assembly. The program consisted of short recitations, musical selections and a skit by the pupils. In the Bond Drive they raised S225 which entitled them to seven service flags. Those who were absent when the photographer was here are as follows: Nancy Wilson, Rita Schefiiler, and Lawrence Stull.

Of most interest was the apron project. They each filled the pockets of three miniature aprons with enough pennies to correspond with their waist measurement. These projects and individual contributions totalled,9573, the largest amount contributed by any grade. SIXTH GRADE The sixth grade won the invasion flag which was the prize for the room which sold the greatest number of bonds. They sold twenty bonds at a total value of 31225. In Social Studies the class made models of medieval castles and drew pictures on the blackboard illustrating life in the Middle Ages.

Added to their school experience is the fact that they have classes and one homeroom on the second floor. In order to earn money for the Junior Red Cross, one section held cookie, cake. candy and popcorn sales and the other section sold woolen dolls for lapel pins.

Like all freshmen, they are taking the three required subjects, English, Social Studies and General Science. The remaining credits are chosen with the idea of exploring various fields in order to choose their major subjects. Linda Hopkins was the Junior Red Cross representative. The class achieved 1002 enrollment. In the War Bond Drive the freshman sales amounted to S15,0'75. This was the largest amount raised by any homeroom in the building.

The sophomores are also distinguished by the fact that the boys in the class outnumber the girls. There are three sophomores playing on the Varsity Basket- ball Team and seven boys on the Junior Varsity Team. In the Junior Red Cross Drive the chairmen were Stuart lNIcLennen and Roger Seefeldt. Both homerooms achieved IOOZ enrollment. In the Bond Drive, 581250 worth of bonds were sold by Glenn Sanger in the art room.

The juniors have been allowed to do so in order to gain experience in sponsoring class activities and to start raising money for their senior treasury. In the fall, the junior class met and elected the following officers: President, Franklin Campbellg Vice-President, Loretta Tower, Secretary, lVIildred Bradley, Treasurer, Gloria Foster. Mrs. Harold Singer and Mr. Rawley Lynch were chosen as advisers. The activities of the class consisted of a Hallowe'en Dance, a Christmas Dance with the senior class, and the selling of magazine subscriptions. hluch of the success of the class has been due to the capable leadership of the advisers. 37' AROUND SCHOOL IN 1942 Library Senior Home-room Cafeteria Industrial Arts Shop Laboratory Gym Class Homemaking Class F.

Ez, feeling that his grandfather may have left money or other valuables somewhere in the house, attempts to disinterest the girls by telling them the house is haunted and by having Charlie, the negro handyman, tell of his experiences with the hants. Also Professor F lunky Smith stops to discuss marks with Ez. Ac'r I, SCENE II Lanny and Ez had been hearing strange noises in the basement and, after investigating several times, do not find anything. They were still discussing the matter when Pat Young and Ellen Mitchell, sorority pledges rushed into the room searching for a note which was placed there as part of the sorority initiation. They left and after Lanny and Ez were in bed a ghost appeared, but disappeared as soon as Ez turned on the lights. ACT II Lanny and Ez are awaiting the arrival of the girls and Mrs. Whipple. They have planned that Ez is to dress up in a sheet to scare the girls. As Lanny and the girls are talking, the lights suddenly go out and a ghost appears. Looking for it they discover Ez under the bed. As they stand talking another ghost appears by the door. They all rush out after him except Mrs. Whipple and Charlie. Professor Smith enters by the other door and tells them that he has torn his trousers while climibng over a fence. Mrs. Whipple sews them for him but leaves quickly as the girls call her. At the end of Act III the professor is left on the stage without his trousers. ACT III The girls, Lanny, Ez and Mrs. Whipple return after an unsuccessful hunt for the ghost. The girls were becoming impatient and began to think the matter over carefully. They search the room again and find a piece of muslin with a ring on the end of it thrown in one corner and a long stick with a hook on the end in the other corner. They find out Lanny made the ghost-on-a-stick to frighten Charlie, and he was doing this for Professor Smith. Then it is discovered that Professor Smith is really a famous author of detective stories and that he has been using Ez's grandfather's secret study in the basement to get the right atmosphere for his stories. Since he was frightened by what the college faculty might say, he kept his real identity a secret. Ez gives the Professor all the books in the library and the girls get the sorority house.

Dehn CLASS HISTORY Twelve-year classmates-Wesley Letzin, Esther Carrigan, Beverly Lort, Mary Lou Hurlburt One day far in the past a group of spotless, rosycheeked youngsters assembled in the Old Wilson School. They were very well behaved and sat just as quietly-but wait! Can this be the future class of '46? I can't verify the year of that class but the '46 class did start in the first grade. Since then we have learned to read and write. Now, we are ready to graduate, if the Regents Board is kind to us. How did we get to this point? Don't ask me! Oh, well, if you insist here are some historic highlights. In 1845 the Wilson Collegiate Institute started and in 1869 the Union Free School was voted by the Town Fathers. Then in 1934 we seniors first entered school. This was done in various schools but since then we have flowed into the main stream like tributaries. Miss Felice Campbell taught the Wilson first grade in 1934-35. We had great fun in those days and yet the teacher lived. I always say that a noisy first grade is better than a quiet sophomore room wherever they're found. You know the students aren't bored even if you arenit sure of scholastic progress. In second grade Miss Hamblin took over and we learned higher mathematics-than we had in first. We built a model of an Eskimo village from clay and sand. VVe won the Igak Nagluk prize in architecture for 1935. In art, Mrs. Hurlburt had us drawing people.We didnit win any prizes in this. In January we moved to the new palace of learning on the other side of the street. I can't begin to tell you how happy we were about this event. Yes, it was a big year. Third grade came in due Cin some cases overduej time. Mrs. Burch introduced us to geography. VVe vxeren't charmed, I'm sure. We weren't surprised that grade four followed third but we were surprised to pass into it. We discovered Australia wasn't in the Antipodes. It hung on the west wall of the fourth grade room. I remember something of lads called Bombo from Belgian Congo and Andre from France, but they aren't in the senior class now. Bombo probably con- tracted pneumonia during his first winter in Wilson. Miss Evans handled us very well. You can see that she must have, because we got into the fifth grade in spite of our- selves. Miss Reid taught us in fifth grade. We had to learn the products of many New York State cities. The only two I could learn were Gloversville and, of course, Elmira. Fire trucks, you know. Red is my favorite color, even though I do like blue and gold very much. Miss Coombs helped us through the sixth grade, teach- ing us-ah, well, a lot of things. For some reason I re- member maps and more maps. Maybe I'm confusing sixth for my sophomore year. In seventh grade we first had classes upstairs. Miss Rood and, later that year, Mr. Bastian taught geography up there. At the end of the year we were given the chance to throw off geography's yoke through a regents exam. That year Mrs. Dikeman won the Supreme Patience award for teachers. The Geography Regents was a small rehearsal for our eighth grade Regents at the end of that year. The United States entered the second World War in December, 1941, but we could not have been jarred by anything short of a bombing of Wilson. We were studying for New York regents exams. Then suddenly as Freshmen we found ourselves very grown up. Our homeroom was the Library-under Miss Sherman. We were the only ones that thought ourselves that way, so we gradually deflated and suffered through our first high school year. We didn't know when we were well off. We entered upon real trouble in sophomore year. I can only remem- ber something about Hertzegovina because its so ridicu- lous. VVe don't remember in which century World War I took place but we do remember where Hertzegovina is located, don't we seniors? Then the rains came! Using Mrs. Gnage's room, 216, as our base, we organized our junior class, electing the follow- ing officers: Reeve Gates, President, Maralu Edwards, Vice-president, Mary Lou Hurlburt, Secretarygand our most trusted member, Raymond VVollaber, Treasurer. After much discussion we voted down a motion that we elect someone to watch Ray. Our co-advisers were Miss Snyder and Miss Bolton. Later Miss Bolton joined the WAVES and while she was seeing the world, we chose Mrs. Ness as our new adviser. Then, when we became seniors we knew we'd have to settle down and become serious students. VVe may do that yet but somehow we just don't get around to it. Our homeroom has been Miss Dehn's, 218. We organized with Raymond Wollaber as President. We were willing to trust him with our millions, but could he have endured another year as Treasurer? Ruth Harris was our Vice-President, Beverly Lort, our Secretary, and another very trusted member, Vivienne Krueger was elected Treasurer. WESLEY LETZIN CLASS WILL We, the Senior Class of Wilson Central, being indisput- ably of sound and disposing mind and memory and about to depart from this grand institution of learning, do make, declare and publish the ensuing instrument, consisting of one page, as our last will and testament, hereby revoking any and all former wills by us at anytime heretofore made. Phyllis Beach leaves her ability to skip and get away with it to anyone who can develop the skill. It comes from long practice doesn't it, Phyl? Paul Banks leaves his ability to get along so well with the teachers to Mickey Moran. We know how it is, Paul. Viola Caldwell wills her position as cheer leader to Joyce Salisbury. Esther Carrigan leaves her knowledge of homemaking arts to Duane Truesdell. Phillip Clement grants his position on the first basket- ball team to Pete Martin. g Louise Collins bestows her position as senior handyman to David Blemaster. N o salary included. Dolores Daunce leaves to Burdell Geartz that ability to always have her assignments in on time. Joan Dent and Stuart Hurtgam leave all their excess energy and knowledge of square dancing to Toot and Soupy. Margaret Flood and Ramona Britt will some of their quietness and shyness to John Schermerhorn and Judy Gale. Reeve Gates, better known as Buddy leaves all that wonderful make-up used in the senior play to John Curtiss. Charlene Hall renounces her claims on that special hair- do and gives it to Marge Kelly. Ruth Harris wills her all around good nature to Cynthia Lauer. Louie Hurlburt leaves that ability to say so much or so little in a certain space to Helen Schaal. Vivienne Krueger endows her many headaches as senior treasurer to some unfortunate junior. A bottle of aspirin comes also! Sally Kurtz bequeaths her source of unending conver- sation to Eleanor Walz. Wesley Letzin bestows all his knowledge of airplanes on Bob Daunce. Beverly Lort leaves that certain something to Gloria Foster. George Moran leaves all of those special characteristics of his Bouncing Bessie to David Williams to add to his car. James Munch bequeaths his wave set to Richard Rogers. It's certainly a potent formula! Margaret Nelson leaves all her claims on a certain wolf to Shirley Scheitheir. CREVOKEDD Frances Perry wills her armed services to Uncle Sam- for a little while anyway. Margaret Perry wills her secret formula of keeping short to Barbara LaVan CMarg would like to know your secret too, Barb.j Vera Perry leaves the honor of being the first one in the senior class to be engaged to Pat Buchner. Phyllis Rohring grants that mathematical mind of hers to Chuck Wilson. We hope it does you some good, Chuck. Ronald Rohring bestows upon Joan Hornsby the know- ledge that it is the right thing to come back to W. C. S. Elinor Schefller bequeaths her ability to look into the future and see something to Shirley Myers. Marilyn Swigert wills her bushel of nicknames to Helen Urtel. Which do you like best Squeak, Pal, etc. Shirley Tower wills her claim on a certain little dog to Betty Mattoon. Betty Walker wills her many pink tardy slips to June Marks. Raymond Wollaber grants his oflice as president of the senior class to a very fortunate senior of 1947. Gertrude Rung leaves to this world all the known and unknown enemies that she made in the writing of this will. We make, constitute, and appoint our trustworthy ad- viser, Miss Dorothy Dehn, to be executrix of this, our Last Will and Testament. In witness whereof, we have hereunto subscribed our name and affixed our seal this twenty-fourth day of June 1946 A.D. G1-:RTRUDE RUNG WWzff..aff.,,H.. Zi . ,Wilma CLASS PROPHECY As the super-liner of which I am the stewardess leaves the ground in Boston, I am astounded to see, flying through the air, the first rocket ship to Mars. A fleeting glimpse reveals that it is Wes Letzin at the controls. Fran- ces Perry is along as the co-pilot. Good luck to both of them, they need it! As we cruise along the New England coast, I see a little red school house where Viola Caldwell is teaching. I have heard that she is doing a side-business in the Cod in- dustry. Dolores Daunce works with her, doing research, and traveling from coast to coast. As we near New York city, I notice an aircraft carrier pulling into the harbor. As we lose altitude I look closer and see that Phil Clement is the Commander. After gradu- ating Phil went into the Naval Air Corp, and has evidently been very successful. During my stopover in New York I have decided to look up some former classmates from Wilson. Betty Walker is managing a new art gallery in Greenwich Village which she established to exhibit the work of amateur painters-especially her own. They tell me that Vivienne Krueger is also in New York operating a joke book com- pany. Her latest collection of jokes was entitled Jokes for All T imes of Day or Why We Don't Know Our Biology. On the subway back to the airfield who do I see but Marg Perry just returned from Antarctica where she was pros- pecting. Although she Doug and dug, she didn't strike anything. The take-off being delayed for fifteen minutes, we are trying to entertain our passengers by showing them the latest developments in television broadcasting. Why there is a familiar face! It's Boots Lort! With her lovely smile and equally lovely voice she must be the new star in the television field. She seems to accept her position very meek-ly. My passengers not needing much attention, I settle down and pick up a Fortune magazine. The first article that meets my eye is written by Mary Lou Hurlburt. She must have come a long way in journalism since doing the feature writing for the Yearbook. Her article is about the pickle industry. I wonder why she chose that topic for research. And here's a biographical sketch about Reeve Gates, Jr., the famous engineer. Buddy always said he wood-n't go into the lumber business . Here's Buffalo! The end of the line for this trip. Now I climb into my new helicopter and start for home. There's Vera Perry's house. I notice there are many flowers in Bloom. A few miles farther Marilyn Swigert has her dog kennels. I hear her calling one of her cockers Skippy or is it Freddie ? Next door is Paul Banks' farm. He has become one of the outstanding scientinc farmers of the area as he always said he would. He now throws large parties for the neighbors instead of erasers. On the outskirts of Ransomville I see an indoor ice-skat- ing rink. The Margarets of our class are in business to- gether. Marg Nelson takes care of the business end while her partner keeps the rink Flood-ed. Shirley Tower has been recognized as a whiz at short- hand. A group watching could aptly be called the Tower Watchers. Phyllis Beach certainly seems to have a good position now. She's working for Ramona Britt touring the country, taking a census of the peanut growers. Ramona owns the Peanut Britt-le Company of Ransomville. Gertrude Rung is still as busy as she used to be back in our school-days. She belongs to a great many activities and is the president of the Society for Successful Women. Louise Collins has a neat little business printing tickets for all the social functions of Ransomville. She got her experience working for Miss Dehn in our senior year. As I pass over the Harris house, I see Ruth sitting on her porch Munch-ing a candy bar. As I leave Ransomville behind and head towards Wilson I pass George. He finally gave up that car of his. He had to! Now in the modern way, he's flying a new helicopter which proves he isn't such a little Moran. I also pass over Stuart Hurtgam down there on the road. He's still got that Dent in his car. And now nearing my home town and my own hanger I fly low over the new Wilson School where Esther Carrigan is the homemaking teacher. I'll have to get her to show me how to wash these spun glass dresses which are the present style. Phyl Rohring still hangs on to that Branch and still does a lot of sewing for all those little twigs. I notice an advertisement of the latest beauty salon. It is run by Charlene Hall. I hear she has a great knack for making people beautiful. Sally Kurtz is her helper. Sally took her course in New York City and specializes in styling hair. As I land, Ray Wollaber pulls out of his hangar. I won- der if Ray still makes those weekend trips to North Tona- wanda. I'm finally home and settled until the next trip. I won- der if all my classmates have been able to keep in touch with one another as I have been able to do in the grand year of 1952. ELINOR SCHEFFLER ACTIVITIES With the new school building, erected in 1935, the students enjoyed increased educational facilities. The basketball teams had been practicing under great diffi- culties and now enjoyed the new gymnasium. There was a school cafeteria and the homemaking and agricultutral departments gained new modern equipment. A new library was built with plenty of room for expansion. With the increasing en- rollment, plans are in progress for an addition which will include new gymnasiums, a music room and a new cafeteria. SONG OF THE KAPPAS PHI SOCIETY Come join our gay and youthful band, Come meet about Ontario's strand, Come haste and clasp a cordial hand, For glorious Kappa Phi. See her bright standard high in air, Lo, brilliant glows our Guiding Star, Equipp'd with truth, we'll gild the war Of Valiant Kappa Phi. Her angel traits sincere and grave, We read her language on the Wave, On moveless rocks where billows rave, But echo Kappa Phi. Her voice is whispering in the wind, In the progress of th' immortal mind, E'en every flower and shrub we find Is smiling Kappa Phi. These sacred walls fresh, bright, and pure, We own their sovereign power t'allure, From many a distant land we moor To greet sweet Kappa Phi. We hail our honored Guide with joy, Our breasts, his shield, naught may annoy, While weapons potent to destroy Support our Kappa Phi. The Forest Infant knows its day, The smother'd flame will wend its way, Returning ranks prepare array Through beauteous Kappa Ph' l. The brow of youth she will adorn, Make age as vigorous as its morn, Escort to lands where's no return, Blest, hallowed Kappa Phi. AIR- Bruce's Address. Wilson Collegiate Institute, Jan. lst, 1846 This poem belonged to J. K. Sabin in 1846, and the original is now of Mrs Mame Sabin McNeal of Molyneux Corners. 52 in the possession THE PHILADELPHIAN REUNION-1873 The above photograph was taken of the Philadelphia celebration and although it is impossible to identify them, it is known from the news clipping quoted below that Benjamin Wilcox, David H. Davis, Charles Kelsey and Freeman A. Greene are in the above picture, also probably Sylvester Parsons, Luther Wilson, and Jonas Brown. We quoted the following item verbatim because it is interesting, and evidently a great day in the history of Wilson. The clipping is from a Lockport paper called Niagara Democrat, a weekly paper, printed July 2, 1873. On the morning of Friday the notes and bustle of pre- paration for the great day were heard in all directions, and about 11 o'clock the Academy yard was well filled. The reception committee were busy in caring for all, assigning those from a distance to the house of the villagers and those having the picnic in charge were receiving and disposing of the baskets of good things. The picnic tables were spread in the orchard of Mr. A. C. Johnson, just south of the village, he having kindly offered the use of it for that purpose. At 12 o'clock the crowd, led by the band marched there, and such a busy, merry time is seldom seen as there followed. All were pleased and happy. About 2 o'clock the gathering upon the grounds began again. Pro- fessor Freeman A. Greene, the present principal of the school, was chosen chairman, and Mr. John Ransom, of Suspension Bridge, Secretary. The members of the old Board of Trustees of the Wilson Collegiate Institute, Profs. Wilcox, Kelsey and Davis were invited to take seats upon the platform, when the literary exercises of the occasion took place as follows: Music, by the Wilson Cornet Band. Reading Scriptures and Prayer, 4th Proverbs, by Prof. Benj. F. Wilcox. Greeting Glee,', by a chorus of Philadelphians. Address of Welcome, by S. Parsons, Esq. Music,-Cornet Band. Minutes of last Philadelphian Meeting, Statistics, N ecrological Report, etc., by L. W. Wilson. Requiem, Flee as a Bird, by Band. Reading of letters from several old Philadelphians, ex- pressing regrets at inability to attend. Address, by Prof. Benj. F. Wilcox. This was the event of the time, recalling old scenes and reminiscences, referring to old associations and friends of years gone by, paying tribute of honor to the venerable and greatly respected founder of this institution, Captain Luther Wilson, who still remains its constant friend and supporter. In closing, he told us of himself and his present surroundings. He prayed God's blessing on us all. Philadelphian ode, We have Heard of Philadelphiansf' by the Chorus. Essay, by Mrs. Rob't T. Cushing. Address, by -Prof. David H. Davis. He spoke at some length of the long ago, referring tenderly to the dead and proudly to the living. He rejoiced in the present prosperity of our school, and spoke of his pleasure in meeting so many old and new friends here to- day, and hoped again to meet them here and eventually on that other shore, whose hills are glorious and whose valleys peace. Essay, by Mrs. Fanny Beech Coe, which was a very beautiful and lovely thing. Mr. Jonas W. Brown then came forward and said that this morning, when selected to perform this duty, which he was about to undertake, he felt like his namesake of old, that was sent to Nineveh to make a little speech, he thought of running away, of hiding, but found that the only thing for him to do was to follow the example of the other one and go on a whaling expedition, and sudden- ly turning to Prof. Wilcox, he said, as he shook a heavy gold headed cane over his head: I am instructed to begin this operation on you, my respected teacher, andibegged him to accept it, as a token of the esteem of all his old friends and students. Prof. Wilcox responded very pleasantly and with much emotion expressed his thanks. Mr. Joshua Gaskill advanced, and with a very choice address, inflicted exactly such a caning upon Prof. Davis, who responded eloquently and feelingly. The Sherwood Brothers-Ben and John-then sang the old duett Csicj, The Ivy and Elm. A register of Phila- delphians was kept, and about 300 names were found upon it. It was estimated that about 1,600 people were present during the day, and from all parts of the land, from Wisconsin to Maine, 54 intermarriages were reported, and a large list of public oflices filled by old Philadelphians, and a long roll of the loved and lost. All then joined in singing- led by the band Praise God from Whom all Blessings Flow, and Adjourned until 8 o'clock for the Philadelphian Social. BAND The First Band The band was organized in 1935, one year after the new school was built, under the direction of Mr. Anthony Barone. In the years 1937-1940, he was assisted by Mr. Herbert Ludwig. In 1939 a junior band was organized and competed in the state contest. In 1940, Mr. Philip Cox was the assistant leader and also it was the last year of musical contests due to wartime conditions. For the past few years, Mr. Barone has instructed the band alone. He has been training students from the grades for active participation in the organization when they were ready to do so.

Hurlburt. A small girls' glee club was the first organized group. VVhen they had completed a course of part singing, an application was made to the state depart- ment for regents credit. In order to interest the boys in studying vocal music, an operetta The Governor's Daughter was given. This operetta proved that regular chorus work was needed and a mixed chorus was organized. From the proceeds of several operettas the chorus bought. a piano and sixteen choir robes. In 1937 the New York State Music Association added vocal competition to the already flourishing band and orchestra contests. Wilson sent a girls' choir and a robed mixed choir. In 1938, the mixed choir was taken to the national contest at Albany. Music instructors since 19-ll have been Mrs. Edith Swan, Mrs. Mary Schweitzer Milner, and Miss D. Geraldine Snyder.

PRESENT GIRLS' GLEE CLUB This year there are thirty-one members in girls' choir under the direction of Miss Geraldine Snyder. Their most outstanding performance was for the Open House in December, the choir presented Gloria in Excelsis, a cantata arranged from the work of Felix Mendelssolin. This selection gave opportunity for solo, duet and trio work. This group has presented many other successful programs.

The main objective of this group is to learn good choral habits and a number of part songs so that when they reach high school they will be good high school choir members. High School assembly programs have granted ample opportunity for public performances and the spring concert has always been looked forward to by the members. i i l N -H OI BASEBALL TEAM-1928 Before 1927-1928 the baseball team was organized on the same basis as basket- ball, namely the boys were enrolled in school but there was no official backing by thc Board of Education. In 19Q7-1928 a team was organized by lWIr. Raymond Dike- man and Mr. A. W. Blemaster. As the diamond in back of the Union School build- ing wasn't of standard size, the home games had to be played at Olcott. The success of the teams has not been as outstanding as that of the basketball. In Front-Lee Dunkerg First Row - Clarence Johnson, Milburn Campbell, Kenneth Welker, Stu- art Wilson, Donald Hayden, Second Row-Arthur Hardison, Howard Pease, Elton Wilson, Stu- art Welker, James Gnage, Burt Jennings BASEBALL 1945 First Rou-Collins, Moore, In- graham, Myers, Markell, Mosherg Second Rou-Rohring, Harlow, Williams, Blemaster, Evansg Third Row-Carrigan, Gates, Seefeldt, Wollaber, Coulter The 1944-45 baseball team won the Niagara-Orleans Championship with only one defeat. The league was divided into two sections. Deveaux winning one sec- tion and 'Wilson winning the other, necessitating a play-off game at Youngstown. This was a second championship for the same group of boys as they had won for the season of 1944. ' The 19-15 season's pitching honors were divided among Myers, C. Seefeldt, and Ingraham, with Nlyers striking out thirty-two opposing batters, Seefeldt fourteen, and Ingraham four. The batting honors were divided among Mosher, Markell, and Myers. The team was coached by Rawley F. Lynch, Science instructor. 58 BASKETBALL IN 1919 Q First Row-H. Swick, C. Upton, Bowersox, Welker, Peaseg Second Rau-Galbraith, Allgier, M. Ifp- ton, Cornell, R.

Mid dleton There has always been enthusiasm in Wilson for basketball and many people re- member practicing in the old rink behind Middleton's store. There were several town teams but not until 1919 was there an organized high school team. In that year it was decided that the boys had to be en- rolled in school and a definite schedule of games was established. The Board of Education failed to grant financial aid, and therefore George lVIiddle- ton purchased suits and equipment for them. Mike Sweeney was the volunteer coach and under his supervision, VVilson won the cham- pionship that year. BASKETBALL TEAM-1930 In 1927-1928 iNIr. A. IV. Blemaster and Dr. lVeber from Lyndonville started the Niagara-Orleans League for both basketball and baseball. The first officially recog- nized team was coached by Mr. Blemaster. The first team lost every game but the last one and were awarded by the League a cup for good sportsmanship. In three years time Wilson had their Hrst champion- ship basketball team, defeating Middleport, 18-16, in a play-off game at the Medina Armory. 59 sri. 1,1 ...Q f L i it Paul Thomsen 1 -si .I .. . ., x,, 'ht f 55 I A me John Schermerhorn 02 N rw 9 . 4 'ni BASKETBALL X ,Www 4' M iff y Vx . y .. 3 lg .
