The Dragon Tales
|
The first student newspaper at Chelsea High School, known as "The Chelsean" appeared on September 21, 1912. Written by the Senior Class of 1913, it's purpose was to keep the community informed on the happenings of CHS students. In the 1940's, CHS news was printed in a weekly column in the Chelsea Reporter titled simply as "School News," until November 18, 1948 when the name changed suddenly and without explanation to Dragon Tales. While The Dragon Tales is no longer in publication, generations of Chelsea High School Alumni have fond memories of the student-led newspaper and it's articles.
