Buena Park Fire Crew Started 1915 (By Jeanette Dillow) Buena Park's first fire department was organized in 1915 with Charles Owens as fire chief. A two-wheel horse cart was purchased for $8 from the Pacific Creamery Co. and remodeled in Oscar West's blacksmith shop. This was stored in a small barn belonging to I. D. Jaynes along one-dozen pails, two ½ gallon soda and acid extinguishers some sacks, and an ax-total equipment. The Congregational Church with an additional bell was used as the alarm clapper to distinguish the sound from a call to church service. One year later, June 1916, a ofur wheel trailer and four chemical tanks were added to the departments' equipment. It was July of 1918 when the first drive by public subscription was made to raise $450.00 to purchase a forty gallon chemical extinguisher. A galvanized building was purchased from the creamery for the first fire house. This was located at the present site of Buena Park Lumber Co. The year 1920 brought a real siren. Also, one of the largest early fires, which demolished five acres containing the Johannes Brothers Chill Dryer Burner. The fire station today is located upon this piece of ground. 1923 saw the first motorized truck and in 1926, a Reo Speed Wagon with a mounted pump and 100 feet of hose was purchased from the city of Los Angeles. A fire district was formed January 25, 1929. In 1953 the fire department was transferred from county to city control. Among the fire chiefs of yester-year were Ocar West, 1938 and Percy Owens, 1937.

Center Street Phone 2113 Rapid Growth Revealed in History Of Cypress Elementary School (By Christine Davis) Prior to the year 1894, children of the ranchers in what is now Cypress and vicinity attended the Centralla or Bloomfield schools. Decision was made in 1894 to form a new school district, after the regular school session had been dismissed for the summer. Children in the vicinity of what is now Cypress gathered in an old barn and held school for two weeks to discern whether or not there were enough pupils to form a school district. To insure a sufficient number, it is said by some of the older residents that a few of the youngsters added a year or so to their age as they registered to form the district. Twenty-five students registered in all, which provided a sufficient number to permit a new school district to be formed. Donates Property A small school house was built on property which was donated by the late Charles Dameron, father of Dr. M. H. Damron, who is still a Cypress resident with offices in his home on Walker street. Mrs. Dameron was one of the school's first teachers. The first school site was located east of the tank farm and was named for the many Cypress trees which were planted around the school yard fence. The building was of wooden structure with rooms added one at the time. Folding doors bisected the large room in order to have the use of two separate sessions if and when the need arose. Miss Daisy Landell was the first teacher at Cypress.

BIG CAT FALLS CITY, Neb. — When Dick King couldn't land a big fish he hooked, he jumped into the Nemaha River and "rode" it to shore. Th efish, a yellow catfish, weighed 35½ pounds. The first school site was located east of the tank farm and was named for the many Cypress trees which were planted around the school yard fence. The building was of wooden structure with rooms added one at the time. Folding doors bisected the large room in order to have the use of two separate sessions if and when the need arose. Miss Daisy Landell was the first teacher at Cypress. Move Buildings The town grew rapidly and about 1906, when the Pacific Electric line was built to Santa Ana, the town began growth headed toward the east. The school building was then moved to its present location on Lincoln Avenue. It is reported by some of those early students that at one time the roof leaked so badly that when it rained they had to run for pails to set under the leaks so the floor would not become flooded. Mrs. Thomas Morris, who taught during the years 1908-09 and 1909-10, instructed nine grades with an attendance average jumping from 20 to 45 pupils. At that time there were no compulsory attendance laws and the children's ages ranged from six to 18 or 19 years. The older ones came when they felt like it and were in the mood explaining the reason some of them were quite old for elementary school. The majority of students were farmer's children who stayed home during the work season, only coming to school when work was slack and excuses for absence were not easy to find. Build More Classrooms The school growth continued and in 1922 more classrooms became necessary so a new building was erected. This building also contained two classrooms but the main feature was the addition of an auditorium between them so that residents could have a place for public gatherings and social activities. About three years later the attendance had increased so that it was again deemed necessary to add to the new school. Two brick buildings, each containing one small and one large room, were built in the rear. Later a wing of stucco was erected on the west end of the building and the brick section was used for wood shop, library, and store rooms. The 1933 earthquake damaged the school buildings and the brick section had to be razed. And More At this same time the old building was condemned as unsafe making it again necessary to build added classrooms. Plans were drawn which included a larger auditorium. At this time the townspeople were divided in their views regarding the larger auditorium and two bonds were voted down because of this proposal addition. The school board felt that they were building for the future and were not discouraged by the disapproval of the people in the two previous elections. Their next step was to revise the plans and again issue a warning before the seventh, and eighth grades. The west end of the old school is now used for a wood shaw boys of the sixth, seven eighth grades and in that joining the office sewing taught to the girls of upper grades. The new buildings run west and are connected to building by covered walkways and meet all statements and specifications furnished with the most schoolroom furniture. Building Again The school attendee reached a peak during year 1952 and 1953, with ment reaching near the dreaded mark. Early in 1953 of the Cypress community voted bonds to add to the ringing. This building will print new classrooms so that it be necessary for the school have double sessions grades. Also plans provide enlargement of the school and kitchen. For the past it has been necessary for students to eat their lunch shifts since the cafeteria seats about one-third of staters receiving their lunch school. The school kitchen was larged so that there will be an electric dishwasher storage space.

The school board felt that they were building for the future and were not discouraged by the disapproval of the people in the two previous elections.

The new building was a PWA prospect and was dedicated Nov. 10 1937. This new section consisted of eight large classrooms, an administrative office, a large "utility" room which was used for social functions. Later this room was converted into the school cafeteria. This past year more than 400 students have received their lunches in this room. Part of the original utility room was also used for the library, teacher's lounge and the auditorium. A loud speaker system was also installed enabling the principal to contact each room quickly which was a time saver for both principal and teachers.

Still More Before another ten years had passed the school attendance had increased so rapidly that it was necessary for double sessions to be held for the kindergarten through the ofourth grades. It was again necessary to bring a bond issue before the voters before the school could be enlarged further. At this time bonds in the amount of $47,000 were passed. Since this was during the war years, shortage of materials and labor made it necessary to wait until 1948 to begin the new construction work. A new bond issue had been passed to add to the accumulated funds and at this time a six room unit was built at the cost of $97,000. In 1949 the enrollment peak reached 600 and after the purchase of more ground and new buildings had been added there were rooms reay to house kindergarten, first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth grades.
