Clubs and Events FAREWELL NATHAN C. SCHAEFFER SCHOOL BROUGHT TO YOU BY THE HISTORICAL SOCIETY OF CAMP HILL
Today’s Fredrickson Library is on the site of our town’s first school dedicated solely to elementary education in 1926, Lincoln School. 1929 saw the construction of our town’s second elementary school named after our resident, Nathan C. Schaeffer, who oversaw Education for the State. Newly graduated architect, James Minnick, was part of the team that designed the handsome Georgian/Federal building to house the “overflow” students from the 1907, twelve-year school at 24th & Chestnut Streets. Through the years, additions were made to the school to accommodate administrative staff, cafeteria and gymnasium activities. For years, one of the teachers served as Principal. Students walked
football team used this field for their games from the late 1930’s until the current field was built about a decade later. Football practice continued at Schaeffer well into the 1950’s. There was even a basement locker room! For now, the school’s site will continue as “green space” in the area. From farm and orchard space–to neighborhood learning space–and by Summer 2017, open playground space.

The team is open to anyone ages 5 – 18 years old with the ability to swim 25 yards (one length of the pool) freestyle and 25 yards backstroke home for lunch – and walked back again for the afternoon session. There was outdoor “recess” morning and afternoon, so there wasn’t a need for more exercise! Besides, once home again after school, each neighborhood’s children gathered in a vacant lot, or on a lightly used street for random games resembling baseball (or whatever ball someone might bring along) The school was placed on the western edge of “development” of the central portion of the borough. The bulk of the construction from 29th to 32nd Streets did not occur until after World War II. This photo shows early use of the grounds for baseball games. The high school
