Sometime near 1900 congestion, not hereto- fore experienced, developed in the schools of the eastern side of the township, and this necessitated the building of a frame structure on Brookfield Avenue in 1904. Only four years later, a similar one of brick veneer was built between Masury and Slope. These, of course, permitted the abandonment of two older schools. Although centralization was in the minds of citizens, the nature of the several centers of population of the township made this out of the question and undesirable. However, the newer popularity of education had fastened itself upon the ambitions of many persons for some time and the opportunities of the Box- well and Patterson examinations did make the establishment of a centralized high school de- sirable- Accordingly, in 1911-1912, a four- room brick school of one story was construct- ed at Brookfield Center for housing the high school and some grade pupils. School expenses and population both stead- ily and rapidly advanced, and four years after the opening of the high school, new rooms be- came necessary. Through political involv- ment, the building of the high school was de- layed until the midst of the war and the ad- vance in prices made necessarymany economies and slashing of plans. After completion and installation of equipment, a first grade charter was granted in 1918. Enlarging the Masury building was the next improvement. John Steveson loaned money to the Board of Education for its construction as well as donating money for additional rooms, cement walks and grading of lawns. The high school museum is also his gift. Further crowding made necessary the addi- tion of the high school, and condemning of the Brookfield Avenue building resulted in the new Addison School. Later, a new building was necessary at Masury and it was named in honor of Mr. Steveson. Portables were con- structed from time to time and the latest de- velopment is the new Curtis building in the northeast corner. Q l l
