A Q4.Q,,.:a' il A J. A 1 W t THE HAMDEN HALL COUNTRY DAY SCHOOL is located on the College Highway about a half mile north of the boundary between Hamden and New Haven. The school, which stands on a hill overlooking Lake Whitney, is surrounded by athletic and recreation fields covering several acres, including a small woodland, a favorite play place. The building is a large, rambling structure which creates a friendly, home atmosphere for efficient, well lighted class rooms. It contains an adequate gymnasium for indoor sports and a large stage with complete lighting facilities which is much in demand for class and musical projects. A common living room is much used by students and faculty, and scarcely a week passes during the school year that does not find a group of parents gathered before its fireplace. HAMDEN HALL was founded in 1912 by Dr. john P. Cushing as one of the earliest of the country day schools. It had a long and successful career as a boys' school. In 1926 Dr. Herbert H. Vreeland, jr., now a colonel in the U. S. Army, became head of the school and continued in this capacity until the present Headmaster, Mr. E. Stanley Taylor, took charge in 1933. It is now coeducational and is owned and controlled by the parents of the school who are incorporated as a non-profit, tax-exempt organization. All income received is used for the maintenance and development of the school. THE school is organized in five units, each in charge of a supervisor. The PRE-SCHOOL includes the Kindergarten and Connecting Class. The PRIMARY DEPARTMENT consists of Grades One through Three. The LOWER MIDDLE SCHOOL takes in grades Four and Five. The UPPER MIDDLE SCHOOL includes the grades from the Sixth through the Eighth, organized to meet the Secondary Education Board require- ments, The UPPER SCHOOL, covering the four years of high school, is organized to meet the requirements of the College Entrance Examination Board. The enrollment is limited in order to give attention to the particular needs of the student. THE main concern of the school has always been the development and integration of the child as an individual. All school activities are planned and carefully coordinated for the accomplishment of this end. Instruction is carried on in small groups. The school program is developed on the principle of a well rounded day. This means that the school balances class room instruction with a noon luncheon and rest and an afternoon period of social activities, sports, and recreation. The pupil is guided and aided by the faculty not only in his studies but in his recreation and social contacts Page Six
