SCHOOL HISTORY The completion of the College High building in November, 1929, marked the beginning of our school history. At that time there were only the seventh, eight , ninth, and tenth grades, the last being the present Senior class. Heretofore, classes had been carried on in the basement rooms of the College, but in November, the school was moved into its new building. Here we were faced with a new problem. We had no traditions, and less than a hundred students to establish fitting standards. Although there were a school constitution and a student Council, neither one had become definitely a part of the school government. The year 1930 was to be an important one in the founding of the school organization. The Science, Dramatic, and Glee clubs were started by the students. A school orchestra and a small band were formed. In April of 1930, the operetta Hansel and Gretel was given very success- fully by the combined efforts of the Glee Club and the English depart- ment. Thus was established a worthy dramatic and musical standard for the College High School. In the next year, 1931, athletics took the major role in school activi- ties with the founding of the Athletic Association. Athletic equipment, baseball and basketball uniforms were purchased with the membership fees of this Association. School songs and cheers were composed, and the school colors, orange and black, were chosen. Several new clubs were organized in this year, namely the French and Art clubs. Both of these have increased greatly. In February, Booth Tarkington ' s play Seventeen was given by the class of ' 32 in the Mt. Hebron School auditorium. The play was extremely successful, a success largely due to the hard work of coaches, actors, and committees. The performance was presented primarily to earn money for the first year book. A prize of an orange and black banner bearing the numerals of the winners was presented to the class of 36 for having sold the most tickets. The year 1932 has seen the greatest advancement in the College High School. The two outstanding features were the reorganizing of the Student Council and the establishing of the school paper, the CriePv.

The Student Council, which previously had not been able to find its real place in the school life, started on a career activity. A new constitution was drawn up, for the old one was found to je, insufficient. The College High School Standards, which combines all the rules and standards established in the school from its beginning, was edited. Student tutoring, an interesting and highly successful project, was spo — - h r the Council. The adoption of a school flag, suggested by the v lub of the ninth grade, and the letter award for athletic prowess ,vert ..er matters under its charge. The establishment of the CRIER was a big stride forward in the High School organization. T he paper has helped to make the school more acquainted with its own activities, and has stimulated interests in projects which would have otherwise passed unnoticed. Now the school is filled to its capacity of one hundred and fifty students in the combined Junior and Senior Schools. These students come from many different towns in the vicinity, but the school has made them into a cooperating student body which is working for the school ' s further improvement, and is endeavoring to build up a worthy tradition for sub- sequent classes to follow. 10
