Immediately the Public School directors proceeded to move on the construction of a two room building. One room was for a two-year high school and the other for a public grade school. This building was occupied in late fall of 1922 with Merle D. Yost teaching the 9th and 10th grades in the high school and Miss Christine Alblinger teaching the eight grades in the elementary school.
This organization continued until 1946 when the Non- High School District was incorporated into the Newton Community High School District.
During the above period the following teachers served in the system.

St. Mary of the Assumption Parish 1934-1962
Father Peter J. Virnich served this parish and com- munity faithfully and energetically from Oct. 27, 1881, until the summer of 1934. From December, 1934, to February, 1937, the Rev. Lawrence G. Villing was pastor. In June, 1937, Rev. Francis C. Schlepphorst became pas- tor, and he immediately made plans for a new school to supplant the old Assumption School. By September, 1938, the new school was completed at a cost of $14,365.
In 1940 a nine-room modern brick rectory was built at a cost of $10,292. On July 5, 1945, Father Schlepphorst exchanged pastorates with Father Anthony J. Stengel of St. John's in Quincy, Ill. In 1946 new stained glass win- dows were installed in the ehureh at a cost of $6,000. Just before Father Stengel's sudden death on Aug. 5, 1947, the church interior was completely decorated at a cost of $8,150. New lighting fixtures for the church were in- stalled at a cost of $1,575 for furnishing only.
For the remainder of 1947 the Very Rev. Joseph De- Palma, S.C.J., Superior of the Sacred Heart Mission House, was in charge of the parish as Administrator. On Jan. 2, 1948, the Rev. George Windsor, the present pastor, was appointed in charge of the parish by the late Most Rev. James A. Griffin, D.D., Bishop of Springfield-in- Illinois, and installed as pastor by the Very Rev. Daniel Daly of Mattoon, Dean of the Effingham deanery on Sun- day, Jan. 25, 1948.
On April 10, 1949-Palm Sunday-the Most Rev. Wil- liam A. O'Connor, D.D., newly-appointed Bishop of the Diocese of Springfield-in-Illinois, administered the Sacra- ment of Confirmation for the first time in his life here and Larry Kirts was the first person the Bishop ever confirmed.
In May, 1952, the Ursuline Nuns left Sainte Marie after 58 years of faithful service to the community. Mother Leonie, O.S.U., Mother Margaret Mary, O.S.U., and Mother Geraldine, O.S.U., were the last of the Ursu- lines to teach in the Assumption School at Sainte Marie.
In August, 1952, the Dominican Sisters of Springfield, Ill., arrived to assume charge of the teaching in the Assumption School. The three Dominicans from the Sacred Heart Convent at Springfield were Sister Rose- mary, O.P., as Principal and Superior, Sister Mary Denice, O.P., and Sister Mary Rita, O.P.
Altar Society
As long ago as 1866 there was an Altar Society in Saint Mary's Church congregation. At that time there were 12 members, and a Mrs. Mary Hartrich was the president. Part of the record reads:
"A church dinner will be held the first week in Octo- ber. Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Picquet promised to donate two braee of wild dueks, Mr. and Mrs. Xavier Picquet 12 roast prairie chicken. The rest of the parish were to furnish vegetables, piekles, jams and jellies, homemade bread and pies."
This is a far ery from the annual church picnic now held on Labor Day where hundreds come hundreds of miles to see their relatives and friends and get that fine ehicken and beef dinner served by the ladies of Saint Mary's Church.

History of S. C. J. Mission in Sainte Marie
Father Henry Hogebach and Father Charles Keilmann of the Congregation of the Priests of the Sacred Heart arrived in Sainte Marie in January, 1925. For some years they and a few of their comrades had been working among the Sioux Indians in South Dakota, but now was entrusted to them the task of founding an American Province of the Congregation and opening a seminary to train Ameri- can boys for the priesthood and brotherhood. The small, unoccupied buildings on the property of Miss Marie Picquet, daughter of Joseph Picquet, founder of Sainte Marie, were not the most ideal, but with the permission of His Excellency, Bishop James Griffin of Springfield, and the help of many benefactors, they were acquired and construction and renovation were begun in 1926.
This same year saw the arrival of the first student at the young Sacred Heart Mission House, Joseph Friehtl from Newton.
By 1927, with 12 students for the priesthood, the pre- paratory seminary was officially opened and the Rev. Bernard Rotermann, S.C.J., who had recently arrived from Germany, was appointed first superior. These first years were memorable for their many hardships. The desks were planks thrown across sawhorses, and as sleeping quarters could be arranged for only 8 of the 12 boys, the remaining four were accommodated by Miss Picquet in her home next door.
In 1934, the novitiate, which had been established in Hales Corners, Wis., was transferred to Sainte Marie, and for one year the Mission House functioned as a combined novitiate and minor seminary. The following year, 1935, saw the opening of a house in Donaldson, Ind., to eare for the preparatory seminary students. Since that time, the Mission House has carried on as a novitiate, or basic training camp for the spiritual life.
In 1945, under the direction of Father Frichtl, the

first student at the Mission House, work was begun on the imposing Sacred Heart Chapel. The chapel was com- pleted in 1947 under the direction of Father Joseph DePalma, S.C.J. After his term as superior at the Mission House, Father Joseph went on to become provincial of the North American Province, and is presently Superior General of the Congregation, residing in Rome, Italy.
In the Fall of 1961, with Father Rotermann again Superior, the new west wing, containing class and confer- ence rooms, library, recreation rooms, quarters for the Fathers and Brothers and administative offices was dedi- cated by the Most Reverend William A. O'Connor, D.D., Bishop of Springfield.
The present community of the Mission house com- prises 4 priests, 5 professed brothers, 27 cleric novices, 2 brother novices, 31 cleric postulants and 6 brother postul- ants. Even larger groups are expected in the future front the 200 students in three minor seminaries throughout the country.
Sainte Marie Village Government
Members of the Town Board of Sainte Marie in this year of 1962 are:
Mayor or Village President, Lawrence Hartrich; clerk, Richard Hunzinger; finance chairman, Paul Falte- mier; Andrew Sheridan, Robert Swisher, Edward Stone, Peter V. Burgund, Leonard Sheridan and Clarence W. Wade.
The General Telephone Company of Illinois, which has the telephone franchise in the village and nearby area, completed the cut-over from magneto to dial service in Sainte Marie in mid-March, 1961.
The Fire Alarm number for Sainte Marie is Willow Hill 3011, with telephones in the Sacred Heart Novitiate and the Alblinger & Kirts garage, giving 24-hour service.
City Water Works
For years the people of Sainte Marie talked of water works for the village-not only a really good supply of water for the people, but water for sanitation, as well as for fire fighting. In September, 1953, the Village Board with B. L. Huff as Mayor, put on an intensive drive for a city water works. A well 54 feet deep, located north of town, across the Embarras River was drilled. It came in flowing such an amount of fresh water that the engineers told the town board that the supply would never run out.
The city water system was then constructed in 1954 at a cost of $83,000. It was put in by Wendell Stokes of Decatur, Ill. To cover the cost $10,000 was paid in gen- eral obligation bonds and $73,000 in revenue bonds. All the revenue bonds were sold locally.
A 30,000-gallon water tower which reaches a height only slightly less than 100 feet is located in the center of Sainte Marie, giving good service to all parts of the town. The bonds are being retired regularly.
City water is used in nearly every home and business in the village. It has added much to the lives of the people, not only in a general well-being, but there are more beautiful flower and vegetable gardens, and greener lawns. The city water works are paying out in more ways than one.
Fire Department
Sainte Marie was almost 100 years old before it had a fire of any consequence. Lightning struck Sainte Marie's
Church on the night of March 18, 1933, during a spring thunderstorm and burned it to the ground. It was a terrible loss.
A few years later Ed Barthelme's Grocery Store caught fire and it, too, burned to the ground because of tlie lack of fire-fighting equipment. This really woke the people up. A used fire truck was tried with the idea of purchasing it if found effective. It was an old fash- ioned type fire truck, and soon became obsolete.
On Oct. 1, 1959, the first fire department in the Village of Sainte Marie was organized. It began with 17 men, working as volunteer firemen. They were: Richard Hunzinger, fire chief; I. D. Kocher, assistant chief; Paul Faltemier, secretary; B. L. Huff, treasurer.
The other volunteer firemen were Merece Gowin, Eugene Hartrich, Harold Hartrich, Lawrence Hartrich, Paul Hartrich, Paul Hunzinger, Lawrence Kirts, Ronald Kirts, Ephrem Rennier, Leonard Sheridan, Edward Stone and Clarence Wade.
The fire truck, used, was purchased from the Oblong Fire District.
Electric Power in Sainte Marie
In August, 1921, a special election was called to vote on electricity for the Village of Sainte Marie. The elec- tion was passed by a vote of two to one.
In the fall of 1922 the plant was installed in a brick building now occupied by Hartrich's grocery.
It was a D. C. plant with motor-charged batteries. Power was limited. Homemakers were told to use their electric washing machines only on Mondays. Tuesday was ironing day. The motors were run continuously on those days to provide power. Sam Barker was plant engineer. Mr. Barker took his job so seriously there were nights when he slept at the plant.
Street lights were only on until 11 P. M., at which time all good citizens were supposed to be off the streets and at home for the night.
Ireneus Barthelme was mayor at this time. This sort of electric power went on for seven years. Then Central Illinois Public Service Co. power service came into the county.
Again the village voted on electric power for the village. Again it passed by a good margin.
C. I. P. S. was contracted to build power lines to fur- nish electric power for the village. Power lines, like the city water works, added much to the lives of the people.
Hallick Shryock was mayor at this time and E. J. Gangloff village clerk. Of all the fine work Mr. Gangloff did on the Village Board, this was his last contract written,
Civil War Veterans
Along with many of their other good qualities the people of Sainte Marie have always been very patriotic.
This history of Sainte Marie village and township would not be complete without the names of our War Veterans. After long weeks and months of searching, I've come up with a list of our Civil War Veterans; I hope it is complete.

On April 9, 1865, the Army of Virginia laid down its arms near Appomattox Court House, and then turned homeward, no longer Confederate soldiers but American citizens. The Civil War was over.
The officers and men were allowed to go home on their paroles not to take up arms against the United States until exchanged, and the former were to retain their private baggage and horses.
After the surrender had been concluded General Lee said he had forgotten to mention that many of his soldiers rode their own horses.
General Grant at once replied that such should keep their horses to aid them in their future work at home.
Several of these horses came back to Sainte Marie. Lt .- Col. J. J. Rider brought back his horse.
Paul Rider of Berea, Ohio, sent this: "He was a dark
chestnut, with white blaze face and four white legs, from top of hoof to knee. He was exceptionally intelligent, very spirited and was addicted to the sound of band music. His name was "General." He would begin to prance at the first sound of band music and was not content until he could follow the band around town. The horse would eat only so much grain, would never founder himself and would rather drink water out of the rain barrel than to drink the cleaner spring or pump water out of the trough.
"First, from my father's recitation, his father's last title was that of Colonel. I know of two battles he fought in and have read some of the history of these battles, as recorded in several volumes in the Historical Building located at the Civil War Memorial Park at Chattanooga- Chickamauga battlefield.
"In one of the volumes, it refers to Captain J. J. Rider. It relates the situation as to where, because of a set of circumstances, Captain Rider had to give commands which were contrary to the line of strategy intended. He did this entirely on his own judgment and in the light of the situation prevailing. He was called before a court- martial and after the hearing was held and the facts brought to light, he was highly commended for his action and cited for his brilliant judgment. This led to his pro- motion to a colonelship. That is a brief synopsis of the historical recording."
