Grosse sence of a headmaster, the school was led by a faculty committee con- sisting of Miss Blanche Richardson, Miss Nita Pikes, and Mr. William Russell. Everything but the essentials was cut out, but both students and faculty persisted, aided by that spirit of unity and self-sacrifice which always seems to come to the rescue of a community or a country in times of discouragement. ln l936, Mr. Whetstone took his place as the sixth principal since the founding of the school, bringing a store of new ideas, and a new era of development began. ln 1939, the much anticipated eleventh grade was added, and a new athletic field and clubhouse were completed. This year, to climax twenty-five years of growth and development, the first senior class took its place at the head of the school. Another first, the first yearbook, goes hand in hand with the first graduating class. The name, Periscope, originally adopted during the first World War, is revived during the present crisis. We have attempted to show you what goes on IN the COURSE of our academic activities and, OF CGURSE, the important extra-curricular events which have meant so much to us. Once again the guns of the world are booming. Under conditions similar to those of 1915, when the first class was inaugurated, the Grosse Pointe Country Day School is sending forth its first group of real grad- uates. This senior class, in publishing the Periscope, is not mourning La Derniere Classe, as others less fortunate are now doing, but is cele' brating Country Day's Silver lubilee. May those who follow uphold the standards and pride of the school and preserve its motto, Per Felicita- tem ad Victoriamf' ' s - Yartttfi Mlm Qrnille it '55 iw sniiililla A
