Separate Ways The hope of graduating is in the minds of all Seniors. Oeniors! A goal often easier A hoped for than accomplish- ed. The last year of school was seen in a variety of ways by each graduating student. However, one thing was common to all — senior year was definitely dif- ferent than any other spent at Chaffey. As Wayne McEntyre said, I am more aware of things than I was my previous years. I was taking it easy instead of con- centrating on school and my future. Some students found their last year to be quite easy. They were accustomed to the routine and knew what was expected of them. However, the majority of seniors were kept busy with jobs, homework and preparation for graduation. Numerous questions had to be asked and the respon- sibilities of applications, deadlines, and requirements for college were taken on. This wasn ' t always a situation ready to be tackled alone. For students needed help — counselors, peer counselors, parents, teachers, and friends were ready to assist in any way possible. Other sources also prov- ed to be quite helpful in making future decisions. R.O.P. classes gave students opportunities to explore various fields of interest, while Work Experience enabled students to make money in the working world and still attend school. Many times speakers from colleges were on campus to provide information that would help seniors in selecting the right institution. After finding the appropriate answers and plans were made, seniors were more than ready to go on their own. Although each person went his separate way there will always be fond memories of Chaffey High School and its students.

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.
