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.

THE DECISION -MAKERS Miss Anderson. Head Adviser Mrs. Johnson Nils. Nlintz Mr. Cottrell Senior Class Resume As freshmen, our class had its first taste of independence and respon- sibility.No longer merely one in a section of the eighth grade, each of us had to fi d h' ' ' n is own way through the school. New friendships were formed and old ones strengthened. When we became Sophomores we organized as a class and elected our officers. This was the year when we made plans for our class's future - what we would do, when we would do it, and how we could pay for it. In our Junior Year we purchased our rings and proudly wore them. The Sadie Hawkins Day Dance was a successg and the Junior Play, Thr Loud Rm' Patrick, was presented. After long months of anticipation and hard work, we presented the Junior-Senior Prom, The Enchanted Sea. Al- though the evening ended too soon, we realized that all this hard work had been worthwhile. Senior Year - was there really magic in the air? We were the voice of the school, the leaders. There were many happy timesg the activities were more fun, the friends more dear. There were so many memories: the Se- nior Christmas Partyg Senior Recognition Dayg our own edition of the Clay Tabletg the Class Giftg examsg and the Prom, presented to us - the Class of 1965! Then came graduation, and our class of two hundred members would never be together again - but the memories and the friends, the fun and the studies, have become part of us and they will never be forgotten. 26
