s I f- . X , -5 A Elf? -as. X LJ ' at Remembrance of Things Past The day was cold, even for February 5, but you found it pleasant to walk down Driggs Avenue in the frosty air, to stroll casually and look about you at the wagons racing by as their drivers urged their horses on. You wondered what the world was coming to. Those speeding horses were certainly dangerous. Suddenly there was a terrihc noise, or a series of noises like rapid-hre explo- sions behind you, and, as you turned to look, you knew from previous experience what to expect. There it wasione of those new-fangled lrorseless carriages, or tutomobiles as they were being called, tearing down the street at what looked like lr miles an hour at least. You watched it in disgust as it tore by, and turned up your nose at the horrible stench its exhaust pipe left behind it. Of course, the rutomobile w as only a ridiculous fad but you wished people would get over it soon. As you pushed your finger between your neck and your stiff collar to relieve the pressure of the front collar button a bit, you noticed a girl approaching you. urckly, you gave your tie a necessary tiny adjustment and tipped your bowler hat as she passed by, smiling slightly. llncommonly pretty. you thought, and very well dressed. 1900 was certainly an interesting time in ladies, fashions. As you twirled your cane and gently patted your moustache, you thought again of the pleasing picture sho had presented in hir Gibson clothes, with that large hat and the huge bunch of attractive feathers on one side, her flowing sleeves and skirt, her tiny vvustline and her delicate walk. Ah, yes! Here it was-that school building at So. 3rd St. and Driggs Ave. EASTERN DISTRICT HIGH SCHOOL it said above the front door. It was three o clock so it was not surprising to see that door open and the children come pouring out Pouring was the word. Nothing else could describe the huge multitude that suddenly hlled the street. You found it quite possible to believe, now that you had seen it with your own eyes, that 300 pupils actually did attend the new school. No wonder they needed 1111 teachers and all those rooms you had heard about- 10 classrooms and a huge basement used as a lurrchroom, bookroom, gym, and musrc room. Our casual stroller on that February day in 1950 must have been even more amazed at the Worldis increasing speed when he discovered, a few years later, that Eastern District High School had found it necessary to go on double session and rn addition use that basement for five classes. But even these measures proved inadequate and Eastern acquired her first annex, McCaddin Hall, which was the scene of her first Commencement in 1904. Sixty-five students were in the graduating class, and history records the fact that Ida H. Harrison was awarded an Alliance Francaise medal at the graduation exercises. lt was the bridge, the magnificent new Williamsburg Bridge that opened in 1903, that was responsible for more crowding at Eastern District. This new traffic artery brought many people to settle in Wiilliamsburg, people who could see what Seven
