On Friday, February 13, 1953 at 6:00 P. M. someone noticed that the school was on
fire. People responded to the emergency. The fire had apparently started in the
basement and had eaten through the floor of the first story before the fire equipment
arrived.
School was no in session for one week. Classes for the grades 7-10 were held in the
Community Hall. The grades 2-6 were housed in the Village Hall. The kindergarten and
first grades met in the Methodist Church.
This arrangement continued until Christmas vacation of 1953. The school board
immediately placed a millage issue for $50,000 before the electors of the township.
This passed and with the insurance on the school, - construction was begun on a new
school fronting on Main Street and was connected to the Community Hall. Following the
holidays the move was made to the new building
January 1954 the desks were cleaned up (those that had not been touched by the flames)
and were ued in the new building. Books that were only smoke damaged were used until
money was available to purchase new ones. A smoky scent invaded the hair and
clothiung of the youngsters who used these-and parents could often detect the odor
when their children came home after school.
