    I don't even remember Arthur as an elementary school, though I may have heard stories at some point, perhaps on these forums somewhere, but I'm not even sure of that. We are talking about the Arthur on King Richard between Harvard and Boleyn, right? At the time I attended DPS [[1966-1972) I went to Carleton, and Arthur was a junior high which I believe if I had stayed in the system I would have attended for grades 7-8 before going to Denby for 9-12. As it was I left DPS after grade 5 to start University Liggett in grade 6 and went through their 6-8 middle school and 9-12 upper school, graduating in '79. Meanwhile along the way I thing Arthur underwent a couple of name changes and I think it was called something like Region 7 Middle School and/or Dorothy Fisher. A bit too lazy at the moment to look back at those slides to see what they're calling it today!

    In the 1940s, Chester Arthur Elementary School was located on King Richard and Boleyn. It was a K-6 school. By 1952, it had expanded to K-8. We lived right on the boundary between Wayne and Arthur.
