lington bricks with limestone trimmings; the third story was laid with limestone dormers and brick gables. A clock tower equipped with an illuminated clock with four dials rose above the building. The grounds, with their natural beauty, enhanced the dignity ' of the school. Verdant grass, interlaced with walks and fringed with trees added to the distinctive quality of the building. The school itself was set back one-hundred feet from the street. On the east of the school was erected a sports stadium, whose low walls were of the same material as those of the high school. At the north side of the stadium was a massive concrete bleacher. The school had other original qualities; an excellent gymnasium, a superbly styled audi¬ torium famed for the excellence of its accoustics, and attractive murals adorning the entrances to the building. In 1933, because of an increase in school enrollment, the Town undertook to build a wing to the High School. This addition was con¬ structed of the same material as the original building, though on a more modern architectural design. The Fairhaven High School, then called the New High School, was informally opened by Henry H. Rogers on April 11, 1906. Students held a few classes in completed rooms, and then filed back to the old school, because the New High School was still very much in the process of construction. The Fairhaven High School was formally endowed to the town on December 30, 1906; a copy of the original document now hangs in the west corridor of the High School. The students of Fairhaven High School have always been con¬ scious of the splendid heritage that is theirs. Since the opening of the matchless building in 1906, the school has been distinguished by its community spirit, its prowess on the athletic fields, and, above all, its high academic standards — standards so consistently good that the school has always maintained its A rating among the state ' s secondary schools. Surely, both present-day students, and thousands of alumni look on Fairhaven High School as a beautiful and dignified alma mater. Thomas Brennan ' 47.
