As you have assumed responsibilities, you have not only been an in- spiration to your schoolmates, but you have also built a splendid relationship with the underclassmen and have set a fine example of school spirit at Hamden Hall.

THE HAMDEN HALL COUNTRY DAY SCHOOL is located on the College High- way 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. There is also a small woodland, a favorite retreat. The building is a large, rambling structure which creates a friendly, home atmosphere for the many well-lighted classrooms. It contains an auditorium for morning chapel, indoor sports, and other school activities, and a stage with com- plete lighting facilities, which is often in demand for class and musical projects. The comfortable living room with its cheery fireplace is enjoyed by students and faculty. HAMDEN HALL, one of the earliest country day schools, was founded in 1912 by Dr. john P. Cushing. It enjoyed a long and successful career as a boys' school. In 1926 Dr. H. Harold Vreeland, Jr., became director of the school and continued in this capacity until Headmaster E. Stanley Taylor took charge in 1935. It is now co-educational and is owned and controlled by the parents, who are incorporated as a non-profit, tax-exempt organization. All income is used for the maintenance and development of the school. HAMDEN HALL comprises four units. The PRE-SCHOOL includes the Kinder- garten and Connecting Class. The PRIMARY DEPARTMENT consists of Grades One through Four. The MIDDLE SCHOOL includes Grades Five and Six. The UPPER SCHOOL, which comprises Form I through Form VI, is organized to meet the requirements of the Secondary Education Board and of the College Entrance Examination Board. SINCE THE MAIN CONCERN of the school has always been to give attention to the character development and the physical, mental, and social well-being of each pupil, the enrollment is limited. All school activities are planned and carefully co-ordinated with this purpose in view. Instruction is given in small groups. The school program is developed on the principle of a well-rounded dayg classroom instruc- tion is balanced with a noon luncheon and rest, and afternoon periods of social activi- ties, sports, and supervised study. Every effort is made to help all members of the school find satisfaction in work well done, and in a simple, friendly, Christian way of life. Six
