HISTORY - CHAUTAUQUA CENTRAL SCHOOL in 1900 a building costing 512,000 was erected on the site of the present school. In 1908 this school was completely burned, and a new one built to replace it was opened in September, 1910. This build- ing was only the central part of what is now our school. ln 1916 the north and south wings were added and in 1936 the outside shop was completed. The present gymnasium was built in 1928. ln 1951 a new wing was added which houses several grade and high school rooms, as well as the library and visual aids room. Mr. George R. Raynor served as principal of Chautauqua from 1916 to 1941 except for one year which he spent overseas. Mr. John W. Turner came to Chautauqua as school principal in 1941. The words Chautauqua Central School stand for scholarship, sportsmanship, and integrity. This has been proven by her outstanding record. In the past forty-two years, over sixty scholarships have been won by her students. This year's class has carried its full share by the performances of Peter Flagg and Ernestt Washburn, who both won N. Y. S. Regents Scholarships. Ernest received the highest score in the county. In addition to the state scholarship, Ernest Washburn also earned a National Merit Schol- arship and a N. Y. S. Science and Math Regents Scholarship. The music department of Chautauqua has continued to uphold our school motto through the skillful leadership of Helen C. Gregg and Keith Emanuelson.

Chautauqua's basketball teams have won eleven trophies including five county championships and an award for second place in New York State in 1931. in 1947 the Panama Hi-Y Club presented a county basketball sportsmanship trophy for the 1946-47 season to our team. This year's basketball team proved a severe threat to the county's champions, with a league record of 10 wins and tour losses. Chau- tauqua has also won three tennis trophies, two track trophies, and three girls' basketball trophies. This outstanding record of Chautauqua and her students has been due largely to the fine teaching stafl and their etlorts.
