Early Chesapeake City School

First photo: Here is the school that my father graduated from in 1925. It was located on Third Street, up close to the street in front of the present elementary school. Walter Cooling told me that one day he got tired of the boring classroom so he jumped out the window of the room at the far right there, and spent the rest of the day fishing in the canal.

Second Photo: This is the back of the old school. It was circa 1930 and was possibly being renovated at this time. The pretty scholars: at left is Francis Spear and next to her is Myrtle Foard. Myrtle was Roy Foard’s wife and the grandmother of Bobby Foard, our current funeral director.
