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
