A HISTORY . . . There was a quaint, quiet little school built in 1917. It was next to a fire station and both were rather re- mote- -surrounded by mostly only trees, landscape, and clouds. The school had only three upper grades. Any education past this required the transferring to schools called Chesterton and Valparaiso. The first graduating class contained nine proud students. Transportation consisted of one west bound bus. Those students coming easttook a street car . The price was twenty cents a day. The year- -1920 . In 1929 a high school building was finally built. Color it L.C .H.S. --Liberty Center High School. A lunch program consisted of the mothers grouping together and making home made soup- -one day a week. Soon grades 1-8 and 9-12 moved together and teachers taught for the genuine sum of $100 a month. The next year brought $5 more. The Liberty Echo Year- book told of those times. The Moraine tells you of these. ... In 1969 we are again moving to further our education- -just as in 1917. We hope to realize dreams, goals, and ambitions. But we are still Lib- erty- -and we are still proud . . . 6
