Boosters have done much to help CHS, plus all their kids are Colerain
grads. We hope to recognize these men or their children, as well as
to induct this years Athletic Hall of Fame recipients, on May 23rd

OLD SCHOOL PAPERS FOUND
Before taking the newsletter to the post
office, it is stored in a spare room on the second floor of the High
School. Last Spring as we were gathering the newsletter, we noticed
several old oversized red books. Upon closer examination, we found
that they contained school newspapers from 1954 till 1960. The Alumni
Association has no idea who put these papers in the four books, or
how long they have been sitting there gathering dust. The classes
of 51-52-53-54 and 57 used them for their Class Reunions last spring.
We were told that many alums enjoyed looking at the many newspapers.
The class of '58 is already planning on using the papers for their
reunion this year. We hope to put the newspapers in the High School
Library.
STORY OF CHS
Colerain Centralized Township School
opened in September 1924. In the April 26th, 1924 Hamilton Journal
Newspaper there was an entire page given to the history of the many
one and two room schools that had served the area. The following article
about the old Colerain High School and Banesburg School were taken
from the paper. In future editions we hope to also write the histories
of Peach Grove, Cliptown, Groesbeck, Dunlap, Blue Rock, Dry Ridge,
and Old Round Top Schools.
The actual sentences and grammar below are exactly
as they appeared in the Hamilton
Journal of April 26th, 1924.
OLD COLERAIN HIGH
Colerain High School is located at the
Colerain Pike, 2 miles north of Groesbeck. The school yard comers
with the round top district school yards. It is almost the central
position in the township. This has been a high school for eighteen
years, 11 years was a 2 year course, and the past seven years there
has been a year course. During these eighteen years but three teachers
have taught there. T. M. Taylor, C.A. Struble, and H.E. Taylor. About
80 pupils have been graduated from Colerain High, 60 are now enrolled
coming from all the districts of the township, two trucks furnish
the transportation. C.W. Burdsall and Mr. Guntzweiler are the careful
drivers. Colerain High claims championship soccer ball team of Hamilton
County. The claims are organized and are all in a flourishing condition
financially. The athletes are being organized and practice games are
being played each day and when this school gets into their new home,
the different teams will surely turn there opportunities into account.
These young people are energetic and wide awake, and there are athletic
victories of great comment, and contribute in no small degree to the
ultimate success of their school life. The "Pep" meetings which have
been held each week thru the past year deserve special mention. The
credit of these interesting and entertaining Wednesday moming meetings
should be given to Marie Frey (sophomore) at whose suggestions we
started. This school house with the other schools in the district
will be sold.
BARNESBURG SCHOOL
The building that served Barnesburg District
as a school room over 80 years is still a good building. It was built
on land belonging to the Barnes Family. It was a one room log structure
and 76 years ago when J.J. Livingston was the teacher followed by
Samual Hammitt, the enrollment of the school was 100 pupils, the desks
were without backs and were not fastened to the floor just benches
of various sizes that might be easily moved around. On cold days the
little children were allowed to sit nearest the stove, and when any
were absent their benches were stacked in the corner to get the benefit
of the space. When all were preset the aisles were just about 2 feet
wide. Pupils from 4 to 24 attended some coming 6 miles. Mr. Agen,
Abram Goady, and Royal Struble were also teachers in the old building.
John Davis was one of the pupils of the old school who became a teacher.
Mrs. Serepta Johnson attended this school 75 years ago. After this
building did service for about 50 years as a school room, it was remodeled
into a 5 room dwelling without enlarging it any, and sold to a Frenchmen
who with his family made it their home for many years. Late he sold
it to Mr. Oehler the general merchant. Mr. Oehler now uses it as one
of his ware rooms and as stated in the beginning it is in sound condition.
35 years or ago or less the present two room school house was built.
Some of the teachers serving an this building are James G. Keeling,
J. Willey, Charles Mountville Flowers, George Hecht, Mr. Craig, John
Hammitt, Estella Struble, Shirley Ryan, Minnie Kaup, Charles Kaup,
Clara Wagner, Anna Geigle, Perry Brestel, and Mrs. Joyce. Miss Weigle
and Mrs. Joyce are the present teachers. Mrs. Ada Johnson, Miss Anna
Weigle, Miss Amelia Heide, Minnie Kaup, and Jesse Van Ausdal are some
of the pupils of this school who became teachers. William Johnson
served overseas in the World War. Stanley Van Pelt is a prominent
M.D. These are only a "few of the many" from this school who are prominent.
Helen and Blanche Craig attend Colerain High School and Hazel Johnson
is attending Ohio State University in Columbus.
