IORS 5 4 ii if . ',Z. ffm K Iss- , W na .M AF Y gy, . 8 Kali ylvh , Old Main - Anticipating the future population growth of the area, the Claymont Board of Education in 1918 purchased 2 112 acres of land on Green Street to be used for a new school site. It was not until 1923, however, that construction was begun on the building. When the building was opened in September, 1925, it accommodated grades one through nine. Each year another grade was added until, in june, 1929, Claymont graduated its first high school class, composed of eleven pupils. In 1928, the north and south wings of the building were constructed, providing additional classrooms to accommodate the increased enrollment. The west wing, which included vocational shops, gymnasium, cafeteria and kitch- en, was constructed in 1934-1935.
