AIIGRUW... Two more additions to the high school plant came at approximately the same time. The building which previously housed the Coun- try Day School was purchased in 1953, re- named the Annex, and following a year of remodeling was ready for occupation in 1954. The Auditorium-Gymnasium is considered one of the finest buildings of its kind in the United States. Ready for occupancy following its dedication in 1955, it can seat an audience of 4,000 plus. The assembly is over. You may go to your classes, produces a scene like the one shown above. Auditorium-Gymnasium exits accommodate the 2400-plus students heading for lockers or class- rooms. The A Cappella Choir is shown in the center background. The ivy-covered Annex has added thirteen classrooms, three laboratories, three large study halls, and four counselor's offices. A ll GIUIW. The most recent addition to Grosse Pointe High School was finished early in the school year of 195 7-'58, Not so much a job of building as one of re- modeling, the completed office suite is divided between administration and student use. Is this the last of Grosse Pointe High's growing pains? No one can be sure-but a good guess would be no. Any school must change to meet changing demands. Grosse Pointe High School is no exception. From the teachers' parking lot, the addition to the school office space presents a modernistic show of glass and sharp angles.

PPROXIMATELY 300 graduates of Grosse Pointe High School became college fresh- men last fall. Along with campus clothes and assorted knick-knacks for their dormitory rooms, 37 of these alumni packed up the special incen- tive and Financial assistance conferred by scholarships they had won. Some of these grants are for the freshman year onlyg some will see their winners through four complete years. Some are tuition scholar- shipsg a few happy winners received full- expense awards. Some grants came from colleges. Philan- thropic and service organizations, industries, and private donors also provided scholarship money. Five graduates entered college with as- sistance from the Mothers' Club of Grosse Pointe High School. No high school student should overlook the possibility of obtaining a scholarship. Today, no able candidate for college should stay at home for financial reasons. To win a scholarship, you first have to know that it exists. One good source of information is a college representative. Here Jeanette Weinberg, 125, Joyce Andrews, HA, and Mary and Jane Kohring, 12B's, check on possibilities of Mills College. Mrs. Ruth Flom, scholarship chairman, counsels and advises students on scholarship possibilities. Relying on the vast array of college catalogues contained in her tiling cabinet as well as on her own extensive knowledge, seniors like Sally Whittingham find her help invaluable. Every tall Mrs. Flom holds a meeting of all seniors interested in scholarships. At this important assembly, seniors learn of the purpose and content of the Scholarship Qualifying Test as well as of the qualitications necessary to take it, An important step in qualifying for a scholarship from a sponsor of the National Merit Scholarship Corporation is taking the Scholarship Qualifying Test. Although this test is not required for other scholar- ships lsuch as those awarded by the Mathers' Club, Rotary Club, and various private donorsl, a good score is a helpful recommendation when applying for a scholarship from one of these sources.
