Daves, later deemed, "the father of Eva School", in the 1920s a community campaign was set forth to raise the necessary funds to build another school.Even the Great Depression could not hold this thriving community down from its dream of higher education for its children.It was a community undertaking, but the fairy tale dream of a resolute community was realized in 1930, when Eva became a proud possessor of an accredited high school and held graduation exercises with a senior class composed of three members.
