During the next ten years, physical education classes were discontinued for the lack of a gym. In 1959, however, a gym was built and a guidance department was established. In 1963 the school departments of Mapleton, Chapman, and Castle Hill joined with those of Presque Isle and Westfield to form School Administrative District Number One, the first consolidation in the state. The following year the freshman classes were moved to Cunningham and Skyway junior High Schools to provide needed room at the high school, Three ears later in 1965 some sad farewells were said as Mr Cunningham y , . retired after serving as principal of the high school for forty -two years.
