DCDS - Ferry Avenue DCDS - Euclid Avenue The present Senior School building was first built, soon afterward, the Junior School portion, and, finally, when applicants exceeded the available facilities, the Primary grades' building was erected. The graduates of Country Day also have to be included in our school's history. Our Alumni and former students are now scattered far and wide through- out the world. We have representatives in most of the major professions, for example, finance, politics, governmental work, industry of all types, sports, radio and television, and medicine and law. Surely, then, this shows the quality of the products of Detroit Country Day better than anything else. Now the ground has been broken, the die has been cast, so to speak. We are now reaching towards the topmost ring in the school's success ladder. By August of this year, the new building will be completed on its thirty-three acre site at the new location. This site holds great promise for almost anything the school wants to do. The present plans include several football and baseball fields, possible skating rinks, and a golf practice range. This could be just the start. The road ahead for Country Day is open and the possibilities are unlimited. We have come a long way since that first building and the future is only limited by our own capacities. lhsignating Future Athletic Fields ' -- N--- '--- ---'--- f

SCHOOL HISTCDRY The Beginning The history of Detroit Country Day School has been a varied and interesting one. In the past forty-four years since 1914 the school has grown from its first humble dwellings in the Ferry Avenue home of its founder and present Headmaster, F. Alden Shaw, to a proposed ultra-modem building on the site of 13 Mile Road and Lahser. The first building, which was known as the Detroit Preparatory School, consisted of four students and one enterprising faculty member, Mr. Shaw, who had a dream. After several years there, the school moved to Euclid Avenue to start its moving career. A disaster then struck the world, World War I. The entire faculty, including Mr. Shaw, joined the armed services to repel the aggressors. After the Armistice, the school completely reorganized and started in Palmer Park, but the sale of this property made it necessary to return to Euclid Avenue. The present location, which was at that time in a very rural district, although it would not seem so now, was acquired in 1923 and at this time the name, The Detroit Country Day School, was adopted. .+ve ' Six

DEDICATION 4 As we remember in the past four years at Country Day, Mrs. Jean Remmert Foss has never once declined to help the members of this Senior class or any class, individually or collectively. Her main function in the school is as secretary which takes up most of her time, but whenever a moment is free and any person is in need of help, she is always there. In our Senior year more than in the past her help has been freely given whenever asked for. For this in itself we are forever grateful. This woman also seems to have a never ending storage of energy that keeps her at her duties where others, in our opinion, would stop. We of the Senior class and of The Blue and Gold firmly believe that the school is indeed fortunate in having her as secretary, and for her help to us, diligence in her duties at school, and particu- larly for her qualities as an admirable woman, we are proud to dedicate this edition of The Blue and Gold to Mrs. Jean Remmert Foss. , - 1.2. ..,.ssgv-:.1...-wh..-... -. :.,,1 , ..naLiS.xaz.,4s1.i..,....L... -44 Apfp
