The honor had been given to Miss Eva Holt to ring the “new bell,” a thrilling experience for the young miss. The history of the now “old bell” was brought to mind as custodians this week were cleaning out the storage sheds at the Grand Avenue School. The bell had been placed there many years ago with other momentos of bygone days. With observance of Public Schools Week, an important part of the public school program set aside during the latter part of the school year, there is no better way of showing the educational progress of the schools than by comparison of the ringing of the school bell and the present day systems of electronically controlled bells. There have been definite changes, though gradual, but the definition of “school” still stands the same, a “place for teaching and learning.” Perhaps little thought is given to the beginning of our public schools, one of our most priceless heritages, and oftentimes few people know the history of the establishing of the first school in one’s own community. With the finding of the bell, one’s thoughts go back to the beginning of the first school for the town of Buena Park. Perhaps it is an interesting note to know back in the year of 1855, a young man by the name of James Whitaker bought a parcel of 620 acres in this area after a severe drought and subsequent loss of cattle had forced the owner, Don Abel Stearns, to sell much of the land. Whitaker was asked by the Santa Estimated amount that was actually spent for only necessary supplies; one Webster Dictionary, $9; one Noyes dictionary stand $4; one numeral frame for California Map, 75 cents; one Mason Music chart $12; and one Orange County Map $6. Two o’ the original board of trustee members are still residing in the community. I. D. Jaynes, Harry Horn and Mrs. Katherine Berkey, a lifetime resident of Buena Park, was responsible for setting up the first library in the community and placing library books for use within the school. District Grows In the year of 1900, to make way for “progress” the one room school was abandoned for a new building. A beautiful two story school. The first floor housed the classes and the second story contained the auditorium. The auditorium was used by the Masonic Lodge that was organized in 1903 and then the Eastern Star in 1906. They held their meetings there until the present lodge building, located on Grand Ave., was built in 1919. That year of 1900 found the school enrollment at an all time high, 60 children. The census taken that year showed 74 children living in the town and on the basis of that data, a kindergarten would soon have to be added to the school’s curriculum. The prime course of study was based on the 3 R’s—any other subject were deemed more or less “frills”. There was some cultural education.

Principal Arthur Nieblas, outed the open house activities and one school picnics. He also stated that as enrollment stands now it doesn't seem likely that the school will be on double sessions before the end of the school year, despite the fact the district is growing by maps and bounds. Ways and means chairman, Mrs. Kenneth Lindley asked for help in serving the Mexican dinner and also for serving the Father and Son banquet next month. Fifth grade room mothers served refreshments at the social hour following the meeting. Cypress Girls' Softball Team to Start Practice CYPRESS — Manager - Coach on Bebereia of the Cypress Girls' softball team, announced that the first practice session will be held Monday night at the Cypress Park at 7 p.m. Bebereia said that all positions are wide open, and any girls interested in playing are cordially invited to try out. In the past, Cypress has turned out several championship teams, and has always been one of the leaders in the Orange Empire League. Practices will be held Monday and Wednesday nights, from 7 to 9:30 p.m., with games to be Friday nights. Assisting Bebereia again this year in the coaching duties, will be Eldon Laird.

Perhaps it is an interesting note to know back in the year of 1855, a young man by the name of James Whitaker bought a parcel of 690 acres in this area after a severe drought and subsequent loss of cattle had forced the owner, Don Abel Stearns, to sell much of the land. Whitaker was asked by the Santa Fe Railroad to lay out a village. It was on some of this property that the school was later built. The advent of the railroad put the old stage coach out of business, the only means of transportation from town to town. There are two versions of how Buena Park got its name. The most romantic tells of the old padres and weary travelers resting under trees and refreshing themselves from a cool spring and it was called "Buena" park meaning "good" park. The other is that the Whitakera named it "Boone" Park after their former home in Boone, Ill. Spanish influence changed the Boone to Buena. First School Established It wasn't until June 1897 that the town of Buena Park had its first schoolhouse — a one room building with 23 pupils enrolled. Five grades composed the new school — in the fifth grade there were five students; the fourth grade had six students; the third grade, three pupils, four students comprised the second grade, and a total of seven for the first grade. The classes were in session for only one week, then closed for summer vacation. When the fall session opened, the enrollment dropped to 17, but as the town grew and prospered during the year the enrollment went up to 26, attending the Grand Avenue School. Edith M. Clark was the first teacher teaching all five grades for the magnificent salary of $50 a month. Social changes have kept pace with economics and the progress made in education. The social life of that day was intertwined in the school, the church and the community gatherings. Most of the entertainment for "parents night" at school were programs of community singing, dialogues and recitations with the whole family participating. It is interesting to note the amount of money allowed by the School Board of Trustees for supplies.

These two trips were greatly enjoyed and Mrs. Greenwood took them to Livermore to call on her daughter, whom they had not seen for some time. They report that the wildflowers, despite the lack of rain, were marvelous, with sheets of blue lupine and golden poppy stretching in many places as far as the eye could see.
