Chaff ey Leads the Way JT ' veryone knows Chaffey is J2j o d, but how old? Chaffey was the first school in the valley, big brother to all the rest. Chaf- fey sets the trends and leads the way. In 1885 the first building on Chaffey ' s grounds opened as an agricultural college. It prospered for sixteen years until it was clos- ed in 1901 when the Ontario High School District was form- ed. It was then called Ontario High. The school didn ' t become Chaffey until 1911 when the Chaffey High School District was formed. Old CHS was the lone school in the valley for forty-three years. In 1952 the Fontana School District and Fontana High opened, the se- cond in the valley. Three years later, a second school in the Chaffey District opened. It was Upland High, first opened in September of 1955. It was followed in 1959 by Montclair High, first called Monte Vista. In 1961 plans went into effect for Comprehensive High School No. 4, Hillside High. When i opened in 1963 the name was changed to Alta Loma. It was followed by Ontario High in 1967. This year marked the opening of the sixth school in the Chaffey District, Etiwanda High. We shared our ca mpus with them for three months, until January, following Christmas vacation. Chaffey has seen a lot in her seventy-three years. She will always have our support and we will always have our pride.

T.G.LF. rhank God it ' s Friday! was an often heard statement from Chaffey students. Everyone counted down the minutes until we left our homes and escaped to our homes for a little rest and relaxation. It was difficult to believe we could be anxious to attend school. Yes, hard to believe we could actually tear ourselves away from our daily soap operas and cartoons. How could we ever live without 13 hours of sleep? The thought of not going to the beach or mountains every day was almost unbearable. Yet, as Kelli Connely stated ... I was really looking forward to seeing all my friends that I missed over the summer. When the 7:35 bell rang, and two essays were due the next day, we stopped to wonder how much we wanted to see our friends. Well, we always had the weekends . . . and what weekends they were! How we ever managed to fit a week full of activities into two days was a mastered skill. There were football games to attend — including the Homecoming game and the infamous Spirit night. After-game dances always at- tracted a great number. Post- dance activities included crowds at local restaurants throughout the city. CarTs Jr. and McDonald ' s were well known for attracting spirited Chaffey students. Although school had its definite advantages, one could not help but look forward to the weekend, even if they were often more strenuous than the week itself. The audience cheers ecstatically for their favorite Homecoming queen candidate. Incoming freshmen stop their bike ride for a look around Chaffey ' s campus.
