Selva! When Mr. Shaw opened the doors of the Detroit Country Day School in 1914, the beginnings were humble indeed. His own home served as classroom, and Mr. Shaw himself was Headmaster, teacher and janitor, rising early each morning to fire the furnace before the arrival of the four boys who constituted the entire enrollment. Today, with nearly four hundred Country Day graduates established as business and professional leaders-some with boys of their own attending the school-it is possibly a good time for a backward glance. It is difiicult to make selections from the many former pupils and graduates who are now doing outstanding work, but the following are repre- sentative. In the Field of Finance, Charles Fisher, President of the First National Bank, and Roland Newhort, Vice- President of the Manufacturers National Bank. In Industry are Spike Briggs, Robert VanderKloot, and many others. Oliver Burke is perhaps the leading authority in the country in the synthetic rubber industry. George Renchard is now one of the top ranking officials in the Department of State in Washington. Bud Guest has, as we know, a national reputation in the field of Broadcasting. In the legal profession are many graduates of the school. Fred Buesser has done outstanding work in this field, and has been of great service to the school. Jay Robinson left a promising business future to become an artist, and his work has attracted international attention. These are just a few of the many prominent graduates of the school. The vision of the Detroit Country Day School has been the result of an inspiration and a growth. From the begin- ning, the school has held that to help the pupils the classes must be small enough to allow the teacher to have an inti- mate contact with them. Only thus can a teacher be the guide, the friend, and the instructor of youth. -.47-
