Chesterton Middle School farewell tour draws 350; school converting to a YMCA

Former students take a trip down memory lane in Goldsborough Gym at the former Chesterton High School and Chesterton Middle School during a farewell tour on Saturday. The school will next be used by the local YMCA. About 350 people went on the tour. What began as Chesterton High School in 1924 and ended up as Chesterton Middle School in 2001 is no longer a school. About 350 people showed up Saturday for their last look at the school building they once attended.

There’s a stairway to nowhere on the second floor of the gym, he said. “Some architect made a mistake.” The answer was to just put a closet door on it and lock it, Ton said. He enjoyed showing it to students. Tina Carey, class of 1990, shows her Chesterton High School Trojan Guard marching band T-shirt during a final tour of the school on Saturday. The school closed at the end of May.

Carey, Jackson and Flitter recalled having to pick three possible occupations for career day and taking a test to see what careers might be appropriate. Bennett also remembers a student filling a toilet with lighter fluid and causing the toilet to explode, somewhere around 1973.
