Latest School News VOL. 1 NO. 49 JUNIO·R LIFE WILMETTE, ILLINOIS, JANUARY 11, 1929 Told by the Pupils Publuhed Wttkly by tht achool children of Wilmette undtr ·upewuion of Wilmette Playground and Recreation Board Bob Hewitt Enjoys Daily's Story of Wilmette History The Chicago Tribune had a very intresting article on Wilmette January 6. Wilmette was founded in 1872. In the year of 1829 it consisted of 1,280 acres on the shores of the lake about 14 miles north of Chicago. l'he land was surrendered to Archange Ouilmette, a Pottawatomie squaw, wife of Anton Guilmette, one of the first white men in Chicago. Wilmette took its name from these people. A man named Alexander McDaniel came to the Ouilmettes' house one day. They lived in a hewed log block housr considered then the best kind of shelter to Jive in. It was located in Gross· Point where the Evanston Light house now stands. After leaving the Ouilmettes' house Alexander McDaniel walked on north to where Winnetka now is. There he purchased 160 acres of government · land and lived alone. He built a station at this point so the Chicago North Western could stop there. This station soon burned and the present station. was built. Mrs. Edward Scheidenhelm collected much interesting history of Wilmette which has been of much value to the people of Wilmette. In 1854 ·a man built a school house. <'ngag-ed a teacher who taug-ht the 15 pupils of school age from miles around In 1870 an old frame school house was built and since has heen replaced b~ the present building. Soon after this churches and residences were built. There are many landmarks in Wilmette which lead to the shores of Lake Michigan where ru-obably there were . workshops for making arrow heads from the smooth pebbles on the beach. -Bob Hewett. 8B Stolp.

On the fifth. in the morning, all the tcc melted and turned to water but nobody walked on it while it was soft so qn the sixth it was like glass. ' A strong wind from the west made skating slow and the temperature at about zero was pretty bad for the ~katers. but about 100 were out on the tee. They flooded ag-ain on the night of the sixth and it was again wonderful on the seventh. The toboggan at Howard is better ~han usual and the children are coastJOg t_o the Howard school easily.- Boh Hewttt, 8B Stolp.
