F OREWORD The class of 1965 proudly presents the fortieth edition of the CLAY TABLET, Claymont High School's yearbook. We feel that the theme of the 1965 CLAY TABLET - the growth of the Claymont Public School System - is especially ap- propriate because our class was the original first grade in the Green Street Ele- mentary School. In 1805, the Claymont Public School System consisted of a one-room building, the Old Stone School. By 1917, the enrollment had increased until it became nec- essary for other schools to be established to alleviate the crowded conditions. The Board of Education purchased a 2V2 acre site on Green Street where construction began in 1923. This school, now known as Old Main, opened her doors to students in September 1925. Her first class, composed of eleven seniors, was graduated in june 1929. Between 1928 and 1935, additional wings were constructed to provide classrooms. The Board of Education made plans for modernization of the high school to meet demands of the student enrollment. A Science Wing with laboratory facilities, a spacious library and classrooms was added. A Shop Building and Gymnasium were built to provide more facilities for industrial arts and physical education. With the ever-increasing population of the district, it became necessary to build elementary schools. Green Street Elementaryi 1 School, Darley Road Elementary School, and Maple Lane Elementary School are the results of the district's growth. Each has facilities for cafeteria and gymnasium and kindergarten. Thoughout its history, Claymont Special School District has been a growing, moving, and ever-changing district that is endeavoring to educate its youth of to- day to be the adults and leaders of tomorrow. EDITOR'S MESSAGE A yearbook is a huge project which requires the combined efforts of many. I wish to thank all those staff members and our advisors, Mrs. Dilworth and Miss Anderson, who contributed their time and talents to make this edition of the CLAY TABLET a reality. When you reach the last page of the CLAY TABLET, I believe you will pause to look back upon the school year. The CLAY TABLET is a record of that year in words and pictures which will grow in meaning as time passes. It is my hope that the school year, 1964-1965, was a happy and memorable year for you and that many more will follow. Marsha Ewachiw, Editor 2
