  • TO BUY ACADEMY BUILDING FOR HS -- Source: Crawfordsville (Indiana) Star newspaper, Jan 19, 1882 p 5 "Waveland news item" -- There is considerable talk about the board of trustees of our town purchasing the new college building, which stands in the extreme northeast part of town to be used as a school house, in place of the old one which is centrally located. The Board have submitted the matter to the tax payers within the corporation, and agree to act as they may direct. The question will most likely be called at the next municipal election.
  • Horse Training class - about 1900:?? It is marked as Brown Township in pictures I received, bur I'm fairly sure this building is the Waveland school pre-1936 before the gym was added.

  • WAVELAND HS   Source: Crawfordsville Review 9-21-1911 p 1
    Information received here is to the effect that Waveland town will immediately prepare to erect a high school building at a cost of about $40,000. The election Tuesday made it eviden that the tax payers of Brown Towship outside the town do not care to enter into an arrangement with Waveland for building a joint high school.  As the present building has been condemned action must be take at once towards providing a new structure.
