The name of the school was Colainga Union High School. Note that CUHS is marked on the basketball. I was not precisely sure what Union meant, perhaps the school was the single high school for several small school districts. Coalinga was located in the town of Coalinga in California's Central Valley. It was and continues to be the most important agricultural area in California. We have very limited information on the school at this time. Here we see the Coalinga High School girls' basketball team in 1916. Notice the middy blouses with scarves and long bloomers, worn with different colored long stockings. Boys at this time wore a short pants uniform, but this was not considered appropriate for girls. Various types of bllomer and romper gym uniforms continued to be worn as girls' gym uniforms into the the 1960s, although I am not sure about this school.
Coalinga was located in the town of Coalinga in California's Central Valley. It was and continues to be the most important agricultural area in California. The origin of the name of Coalinga is from when it was the railroad's coaling station A.
We were not precisely sure what Union meant. We thought that perhaps the school was the single high school for several small school districts. A California reader tells us, "Out in the rural areas, the high school district covers a large area. Coalinga basic industry is oil. Many oil wells and this school district covers a large area. Coalinga is about 40 miles west of Bakersfied. There are many Union High School districts in California. I believe the rural farm area like Small communities like Ripon, McFarlane, Strathmore combine into a single high school district. Again, places like Visalia, Hanford Porteville have just one high school, but the area the cover may be 20 to 40 miles. One high school located in the Seirra Nevada's cover hundreds of miles. The students are boarded at school for the weekdays, and bused home for the weekends. Some of the school bus routes cover over several hundred miles. There may be a school district for the elementary schools, but one high school district which covers two or more elementary school districts."

We have little chronological information at this time excet for the 1916 girls' basketball team picture seen here (figure 1).
We have very limited information on the school at this time. Here we see the Coalinga High School girls' basketball team in 1916 (gfigure 1). The girls were kind enough to date the basketball. Notice the middy blouses with scarves and long bloomers, worn with different colored long stockings. Boys at this time wore a short pants uniform, but this was not considered appropriate for girls. Various types of bllomer and romper gym uniforms continued to be worn as girls' gym uniforms into the the 1960s, although I am not sure about this school.
