These roll-topped closets were very modern and chic back in 1863. Do they seem that way now? The New Central High School was built in 1863. The school contained 10 classrooms and a large lecture room. It had a new ''improved'' ventilating system that promised better health conditions for the students. This school had all the ''modem'' things in it. such as: roll-topped coat closets, ''large and comfortable'' desks, a ''modern’’ kitchen equipped with gas burners and wood counters. This school was used until the number of students grew until they no longer fitted into the small school building. The large and comfortable desks were used by the students gladly. Do you think that you would like to sit in them all day? Page elevc

The large Central school seemed like the most modem and won- derful school that the pupils had ever been in. The Central school is located on Harrison Street. 27ie Old Central As the other parts of La Porte were improving, so were the schools. The idea of children going from grade school into high school began to catch on. People were quickly putting all their older children in Mr. Packard's High School.

Lincoln is now a grade school, located on Walker Street. «Cincoln Soon even the new Central High School couldn't hold all of the students who wanted a high school education. Even with added space-saving devices, the students were over-flowing. The school board, in 1924, decided to build another new school and convert Central into a junior high school. The new Lincoln school was an imposing looking building, protected at each comer by a high tower. The Castle , as the teachers and pupils called their school, was beautiful inside. The building had two wide, ornately carved stairways and a large, airy auditorium. Now that the Lincoln School has been made into a grade school, it also contains a modem and well- equipped kindergarten room, and 13 classrooms. A new knotty-pine showcase has been installed in the lower corridor of the school and it features new dis- plays which are made weekly by the students.
