i—i e W O G L J E r- Evolution of Chaffee Public Schools The first school in Chaffee was established in 1905. It was a two-room frame building on Grey Avenue. Later another build- ing was erected across the street as the two rooms were becoming crowded. On Helen Avenue was a one room school for primary children. As the attendance rapidly increased, several buildings, in different parts of the town, were used as schools, one of these being on South Main Street. And still the largest frame school building was built on a large plot of ground on Elliott Avenue. It was later moved and the present brick building was erected. This was used for the grammar grades and also for the High School. Austin C. Walling, now of Washington, D. C., was the first to complete the four years course. Several years later Central High School was built. It was a two-story brick building, so planned that an addition might easily be made. In 1923 the addition was built and we have the High School building as it is today. On the High School grounds we have a small frame build- ing for primary pupils, a gymnasium, and a football gridiron. The playgrounds of all the schools are fully equipped. In addition to all this, we now have a large staff of capable teachers and we feel justified in saying, therefore, that the evolu- tion of Chaffee Public Schools has reached a high degree of excel- lence. 1 9 2 9
