Becomes Boys school.
In 1859 the trustees decided to re-
strict the institution to the use of
male pupils only. and the school re-
opened with Samuel Farrand as
principal. Under DIR. Farrand the
school made wonderful strides. The
number of pupils was increased
from twenty to the present number.
The gymnasium was added and the
curriculum enlarged. Mr.. Farrand,
the present principal, succeeded his
father, and he has done remarkable
work in raising the standard of the
school.
An athletic field of four acres, sit-
uated near the corner of Orange and
First streets and overlooking Branch
Brook Park. has been presented to
the academy by its alumni and
friends. This field. which is for the
exclusive use of the academy pupils.
Is expected ultimately to be the site
of the school itself. There is room
enough to build an academy here of
adequate size without touching the
running track, the baseball or foot
ball field or the field house. The re-
moval of the school will, however.
not be undertaken until sum OF
money has been secured by gift or
otherwise which with the proceeds
from the sale of the present site will

From 1892 to 1855 the academy was
weighed down by the lack of money.
The financial necessities of the trus-
tees compelled them to consider the
use of the building for other than
school purposes. The Masonic lodge
held it's meetings in one of the rooms
of the school-house. The Common
Council also intruded. but when
someone suggested holding religious
meetings there the line was promptly
drawn.
In 1856 the ground on which the
AGA denny stood was sold TO the gov
eminent as a site for a postoffice.
Then the academy moved to its pres
ent location on High street. The
cornerstone was lost in this move.
and was not found again until the
new gymnasium was built. In 1857
the new academy opened as a school
for both sexes.
About this time some patron of the
academy presented it with a slave.
This slave was used for quite time
as janitor OF the school. However,
finally the trustees decided to sell

provide for the erection of a suitable
building without reducing the salary
list or otherwise impairing the edu-
cational efficiency of the school.
a New Grandstand.
Ten per cent. of the gate receipts
at the academy games is put in a
special fund for the establishment of
permanent improvements at the field.
This fund has now reached pleasing
proportions, and 1t is hoped that in
short time a covered stand will be
erected to augment the two open
stands already built.
Started in a tavern, erecting its
first building 12l years ago with the
proceeds of lottery: obtaining
means TO teach dancing by the sale
of human flesh and blood; permitting
without comment the use of it's build
ing for political purposes and deny
ing its use emphatieally for religious
worship, the academy has lived
through the most trying yicissitudes,
and now occupies a conspicuous place
among the educational institutions Of
the country.

II is somewhat uncertain now old
the Newark Academy really is. The
first school was held in a tavern in
the central part of the town. The
first school building was erected on
what is now known as Washington
Park in 1774. This building was de-
stroyed by the British in 1850. For
twelve years ii lay in ruins, and
Newark during this period was with
out any school facilities. Then in
1891 a subscription was begun to
raise money for a new school, The
present academy cherishes in its
building the cornerstone of the
structure erected in 1792 by means
of these contributions. on the site of
the present postofflce building.
Lottery to Raise Funds.
On April 10, 1893. the trustees of
the academy appointed a committee
to petition the Legislature for per-
mission to hold a lottery to raise a
sum not exceeding 500 pounds. on
June 90, 1898, the committee reported
to the trustees that the Legislature
had granted the permission. on
March a. 1894, the trustees directed
that the lottery be drawn, but the
committee thought best to wait for
more subscriptions, and on Deem
Der II, 1894. the trustees gave them
authority ito prosecute the object
of the lottery till they raise the
money allowed by law

Field Day.

This Is an appropriate place to
mention a word or two concerning
field day.
Field day is an important event in
the annals of the academy, and has
served as sort of grand finale to
the athletic year. In late years, how
ever, the occasion has served in an
other capacity also, namely. as
means of choosing men to represent
the Red and Black on the above
mentioned Princeton Club nseet. 1t

The cornerstone OF the old Newark
Academy was laid June %, 1892, by
st. Johns Lodge. General John NJ.
Cumming. who was then one of the
governors of the academy, conducted
the ceremonies as worshipful mas

lodge indicate that the inscription
was carved on the cornerstone, which
was a slab of hrownstone about q foot
thick, four and one-haR feet long
and two feet wide.

Academy Teams.

@hNnuOhS AcNhh9s
As is easily seen, the past Has been
very full of success for the academy
in athletics. How about the year
which is coming? OF course it is dill
fleult to tell Just what the future
holds in store for the Red and Black
in the line of sport, but il Is possible
to Judge with some degree of aecu-
raoy how great will be the future
success of the various academy
teams.
As IL shall be the first athletic BODY
to represent the school next season
let us first consider the football team
of 1918. When the candidates assem-
BILE next fall there will be eight sea-
soned players missing from the line
up. these having been graduated in
the spring. This, of course, leaves q
gap which looks to be, and shall be,
tremendous one to refill, and the
present second team men shall have
TO do The trick. However, Newark
Academy teams nave more times than
one come back strong in the face Of
difficulty and defeat. and have made
good. Therefore. with plenty OF de-
termination and with such a gritty
player as Captain Mex" Houghton
at the helm, there is no reason why
the Red and black eleven next au-
tumn should not come through It's
very difficult season with flying
oolors and complete d successful sea
son.
After football is a thing OF the
past the gym" team Is next to hold
the centre o. the stage. This team
snail be minus the services of several
of the best gym artists of which
the academy has ever boosted. These
fellows are booked to leave the old
school this spring.
However. don't believe for one min
ute that the senior class supplies all
of the academy gymnasts, for IL
doesn't by any means. In the fell
lows who remain there is a wealth or
mighty valuable and clever material
Therefore. the 1913-14 gym team,
although it cannot possibly become
such championship aggregation as
was this years team, should be very
formidable and capable of winning
many prizes for the academy.
The outlook for next seasons track
team is very doubtful, as the real
strength of the present squad is as
yet unknown, and probably shall re-
main SO until after the Princeton
Club meet at the academy field (by
the way, don't miss this great sc1ol-
astic classic. Mr. Maroney and
Captain Kruger have great hopes of
winning this important event. Grad
uation will thin the ranks of several
excellent athletes. but just how poor
~ the team shall fare by this is as
yet uncertain, although one can safe
ly say that the present team is
stronger than its successors shall be.
As for the baseball team, it should
prove to be about in the same class
as the present nine, which is finding
II hard to shake a stubborn hoodoo.
and has yet to win a game
Although Captain Breen and three
of his present teammates receive, or
hope TO, their sheepskins this spring,
other material will undoubtedly spring
up to fill tho open positions The
1914 -tossers will win the ma
jority of their contests
