TIME CAPSULE
While moving files into a new location at the High School in 2011, Keith Carlson and Chuck Lonske found a box package Bell and Howell in Chicago, addressed to Mr. Earl Berry, Superintendant, New Buffalo Consolidated Schools. The postmark on the mailing was 1944. Opening it revealed 2 items: a sealed 6 inch film case with the label: "In Color, New Buffalo, Class of 1963" and a 10" film reel, presumed to be the original content of the box – but no label.

Keith examined the leader of the unmarked film with a magnifying glass and found it to read: "A day in the life of New Buffalo Consolidated Schools." Both film canisters were entrusted to a film archivist for transfer to video and are now availble for viewing.
