SCENIC SHOTS Collingswood High School, as it is more commonly known, is located in the suburban town of Collingswood, New Iersey, and is one of the integral parts of the community. The first graduation was held in 1906 and twelve members were graduated, but the growth of the school kept pace with the growth of Collingswood and this year some 242 pupils will be graduated. This impres- sive ceremony is' now held in the Scottish Rite Temple on the White Horse Pike in West Collingswood, for the increasing num- ber of graduates has long ago outgrown the school auditorium. A junior high school adjoins the Senior High building and the two schools share the Cafeteria, gymnasium, and auditorium Collingswood has a population of ap- proximately l2,685, large enough to afford many conveniences, but small enough to have the friendly atmosphere so seldom found in large cities. Many recreational facilities can be found in various sections of the town. The Cooper River Yacht Club is located in the Cooper Ptiver Parkway at the end of Harvard Ave- nue and affords much pleasure to the nau- tical-minded students and parents alike. The Public Library is located on Haddon Avenue and contains many volumes which are available to pupils for both reference and recreation. There are several youth centers in the different communities which send pupils to I LlT.
