ai . Q - 1, A 1 -- f The Histor Around Us Our alma mater has an interesting historical background but even more apcinating is the history of the land that surrounds Council Rock. The present school grounds earlier were part of the Buchman farm. In about 1929 the ground was sold to the Ty lers. Let us take a walk around the Rock campus and xiew the surrounding land as it was fifty years ago Q , Richboro Road is not smooth asphalt, but is muddy and filled with wagon Aruts. A great many of the wagons which travel back and forth over the road are journey ing to and from Spring Garden Mill. 3-A Wlalking across the land which presently is occupied by the football field f we see coming out of the woods a wagon loaded with stone. As we investigate further We find a quarrv being worked. A great deal of the stone is used for both buildings in Newtown and buildings on the Princeton University campus On the field which today is owned by Mr. George Benetz and is located directly opposite the front door of the school there is a race track where horse races and other sporting events are held At this interesting point let us return to the present Little exidence of these antiquities have remained to this day. The old quarry on the Tyler estate now is used for refuse Only from the air can one see the deep furrows made by countless horses. Richboro Road today is hard-topped with no trace of wagon ruts. These scenes, still vivid in the memories of the other residents of Newtown and confirmed in part by the borough archives, contribute a vital portion to the tradition of our school. 1 ,gn J if iii-f '-'S-:1 - T g 7 ' ' Q
