lt was a humble beginning, but as sometimes happens, the end result was a great achievement. Mr. Shaw first began as a private tutor of four students. Today he stands at the head of a large school. Many years have passed since 1914 and that first session held in the Ferry Ave. home of its founder. Known as the Detroit Preparatory School, the school re-opened at Euclid Ave. following World War I . Then in 1923, the building on Seven Mile Rd. was acquired and the school name changed to Detroit Country Day School. But still the task was not near completion - sections were added to the building to accomo- date the Junior School, and finally, the Primary Grade facilities were erected. Today, graduates of Country Day School occupy many important posi- tions, their talents and interests are wide-spread and yet they are united by a bond of tradition - a bond that compelled them to work and hope for the new building. Yes, with a dream and a prayer F. Alden Shaw faced the world in 1914, but today, in a beautiful new building Mr. Shaw is still not content, he constantly strives for improvement. Herein lies the secret of his success, for Mr. Shaw is ever on his guard to keep both himself and his school up to the times - indeed far ahead of the times. As we try to project ourselves into the future we are struck by the fact that new and different doors are being opened every day. V Sports, science, studies-all should prosper at this new location. Still, there is one more ingredient needed before the school can really attain the success that it seeks. We of the Senior Class have tried and will con- tinueto try to express it throughout this yearbook. As you tum back to the preceding pages or forward to the coming ones, we hope that you will agree with us that only by growing with the times, sharing in the bless- ings of our land, and working to do our best, can we really achieve our goals. Let's set our sights high and Hitch our wagon to a star, even though our feet may be stuck in the mud. Nine
