Crestview School District 2068 opened to the first student in June of 1921. It closed in April of 1967 and rural students were bused to Swan River. I was fortunate to be visiting at the time of the reunion in 1991. My older brothers went there, but I never attended Crestview School. I went to McVey, School District 2303, and Crestview were our sports rivals in baseball and winter soccer. They were formidable. Immediately below is a slide show, you will have to scroll down to read the longer captions. And, as always, if anyone wishes to provide further information on unidentified souls in the photographs, please do so in the comments section.
