Buddy Baker, who attended Reese school in the 30s reports that the building was heated by a coal furnace. A wagon delivered the coal which would slide down a shute into the basement. According to him, "Dern right it was cold in there. That furnace didn't do much heating. They'd make us go outside for recess and all we did was play jam-jelly." (Pack tightly together to try to get warm.)

The old Reese school was torn down and rebuilt in the early 1950s.
