Bergen Evening Record
Friday April 6, 1945

As World War II in Europe was coming to a close on May 7, 1945, a local tragedy occurred only a few weeks before.
  On April 6, 1945, the highly regarded Fairmount School had a tremendous fire which basically gutted the building.
   I, Bob Meli, writing this on September 2, 2019, went to Fairmount School from 1960 to 1967 and never knew of this fire.
