enrollment occurred in 1875 when 82 pupils were enrolled. By 1890 the attendance
had gone down to about 30 pupils, but the number from that low point increased
yearly
so that by 1910 about 70 children were attending. Since the average daily
attendance
for the year was below 60, the state did not force the district to provide
two teachers.
The present enrollment averages about 20 pupils yearly.
    Schleswig 2 district is a farming community. Some earfy settlers according
to
the 1859 assessment roll were Thos. Sullivan, Peter Scherer, John Rourke,
Henry
Engels, Richard Christie, Christ Casper, Peter Hartmann, Nick Balz, August
Quante,
Rudolph Ruh, and Fred Nimmer. Most of these family names are no longer common
to the community. The many graduates of the school became successful leaders
in the
communities in which they settled.
    The district has usually kept its school officers for long years of service.
Peter
Hartmann is on record as having served at least from -1872 to 1880. Names
of of-
ficers listed from the incomplete records of 1894 to 1906 were Richard Christel,
Chas.
Reichwaldt, Fred Broeckert, and R. J. Hungsford. More recent long service
records
were held by Ervin Reichwaldt, Rudolph Quante, and Geo. Rabe.
    There is no indication that two terms yearly were held in this district.
It is
known that the best teachers were hired, and the monthly salary was always
above
that of most nearby teachers. As usual Sanders spellers and readers, Davies
arith-
metic, Monthieths geography, and Barnes history were later 1800 texts. :Teachers'
names definitely recorded were C. F. Eller, 1872; August Elmgreen 1873; R.
A. Pen-
dleton 1874; M. Quinn, 1876; P. J. White 1877;, James, Connell 1878-9; Katie
Fardy
1880; Anna Brockert 1894; A. H. Lindemann 1895-6; Ida Pingel 1897-8; Rudolph
Graf
(now Dr. R. Graf of Kiel) 1904; and Viola Sullivan 1905. Others whoQ taught
before
1906 were Maggie Pinter, Ralph Elmgreen, Harry Nimmer, Richard O'Shea, Joyce
O'Connor, and Julia Densmore. Later teachers who became Manitowoc county
super-
vising teachers were Amanda Heyroth and Frieda Hammann. The Sullivan girls,
Viola, Genevieve, or Mary, taught this school from 1905 to 1916 except for
a year
or two.
    Spelling bees were common in the early days. Maypole dances were held
some
springs.- Old pictures in school show the school and town fairs that the
school took
part in. The annual Christmas program is a featured affair for the community.
4-H
Club meetings, every first Tuesday of the month, are held in the school.
The district
has several small lakes but none of real recreational value. Mail for the
community
was gotten fromý the post offices at Louis Corners, Steinthal, and
Kiel. Today Schles-
wig No. 2 district leads in the maintenance of one of the most modern rural
schools
of Manitowoc county.

                               Blanche Shimon


    "No children from another
district shall be- allowed to at-
tend Schleswig district No. 3",
stated an old settler at the an-
nual school meeting on Sep-
tember 28, 1868. Other old set-
tlers attending murmured-their
assent, and thus was voiced the
wish that the Schleswig 3 school
was for the growing school pop-
ulation of this district.
    Schleswig No. 3 was at
first known by just that name.
After the growth of the cross-
road hamlet of Meggers two
miles to the northwest, this
school became known as the
Megvers shchool  In 191I. the


name of Woodland Park was chosen because the present site of the school was
at one
time a wooded one-half a~re which was a part of the uncleared areas nearby.
The
park was considered complete, for there was even a natural pond located on
it. To-
day, the woodland park. is only a memory since only three of the old gnarled
trees
remain.
