South Beaver School alumni and employees gathered at Flagstaff High School (FHS) on Saturday, July 1, for a reunion. Most graduates of South Beaver then went on to attend Flagstaff Middle School and FHS. South Beaver School's building was originally planned to be built in February of 1918 for $75,000, but it was delayed by World War I. “Within the next few days, the Mexican students were called out of their classes at Emerson School and with their teachers walked to their new school, South Beaver Elementary School,” according to a historical plaque displayed at the reunion. More than 400 people came to the reunion, potentially “a last hoorah” for the group, traveling from as far away as Massachusetts, California and Washington D.C.Cromer said she felt fortunate to have taught at South Beaver School.
