All we girls regret the weekly washing it requires. They are funny, and don't help our figures, but in the end, we don't mind them much. We begin to forget that we must look beautiful for the boys-forget our hair and dress and makeup, and relax. For less than forty-five minutes we exercise freely, with our minds on attaining skills. Although gym is one of the required subjects in school, the necessity for it is not generally thought about-but we feel it. HOCKEY CLUB-Firrt row, left to right-E. Liljegren, A. Cudner, A.

First High School Present High School Second High School SCHOOL HISTORY Down the tracks of time chugged the Greenwich High School train, Car 1895, of education. Its first station was the Havemeyer School building. The passengers, totaling fifty-four, clambered off at that stop, to occupy two rooms on the upper floor. From these rooms could be seen Greenwich Avenue Qwhich, no doubt, proved somewhat distracting to the studentsl, and the spacious grounds, which later became the site of the new high school. The students had Mr. Newton Hobart as their principal. The graduates in the class of 1898 numbered twelve. The year 1899 welcomed new passengers to the school, until the registration reached seventy-one, but only six were graduated that term. The following year saw eighty-eight students striving for knowledge. Then in 1907, the ever-faithful train came out of its resting place, refueled, and picked up its passengers at the Havemeyer School and carried them to their new high school build- ing, located on Mason Street. These students studied in this building under the supervision of Dr. Graber, their new principal. In the year 1908, the graduating class totalled twenty-five. In 1910, Mr. Edwin C. Andrews was appointed Superintendent of Schools and served until 1938. In the year 1913, the students had the privilege of welcoming to their school, a new principal, Mr. H. C. Pop Folsom, who retained his position diligently for twenty-five years. Also at this time, plans were being made for the erection of a new high school building -part of the present high school. This was completed in the year 1925. The cornerstone was laid by Paul Cunningham, G.O. president at that time. Classes entered in 1926. In the year 1932, the number of students was so great it was necessary to conduct a double-session school day. The seniors and juniors attended classes one half of the day, while the freshmen and sophomores attended classes the other half. This system Cplus the friendly old back wallb was abandoned when the new addition to the building was completed in 1938. At the time of Mr. Folsom's retirement in 1938, the students were introduced to their new principal, Mr. George Shattuck. He remained only two years, until 1940, when Mr. Andrew Bella came and took over the principalship. The school has always upheld many traditions-the Dramatic Association produced many great plays and operettas, the musical tendencies of the student body have always been enriched by the band concerts, career day has helped many students in choosing their vocationsg the Macy Cup and W. Stanley Finney Prize are great awards bestowed on the outstanding pupils of each year's graduating class. The students' social lives have been greatly enhanced by the traditional junior and Senior proms. Then there are the G.O., Football Banquet, Class Day, Open House Night, the 4B Vaudeville, and such school publi- cations as the G.H.S. News, Green Witch, and the Compass. The people of Caney Creek have always benefited greatly by the assemblies put on by the talented Freshmen and Sophomores. Most of these traditions have been maintained throughout the fifty years that the school has been'functioning. 8 2
