| From "Our Town"... The Original School was a sheep barn converted to a Meeting Hall; then remodeled for the "Village School". One Room, one Teacher, 8 Grades. The first year it was operated as a "pay" school with just a few pupils 25 cents each per week. And each had to buy their own supplies. Thereafter it was made a Public School with forty-odd pupils. In 1902 a new two-room School was built on Princeton Avenue (present site) which was replaced by a four-room school in 1925. A second floor was added in 1930. The two-room school building was purchased by the local American Legion for $1.00 and moved over to Harvard Avenue, now No. 320. It was used for awhile by Boro Council for their meetings. It is now a dwelling. |
