gQ6U 5 0 l 0gl 855 N its fifty years of existence, Lans- downe High has grown, perhaps not phenomenally, but surely steadily. In size it has developed from part of a three-room school house to the sev- enty-room school building we know today. The number of pupils has in- creased from three to nearly eight hundred, and the size of the faculty from three members to thirty-four. Almost a year before Lansdowne became a borough, Upper Darby erect- ed, in 1892, a red brick school build- ing on Baltimore Avenue, between Lansdowne and Highland Avenues. It was primarily intended as a three- room grade school, but in the same year Upper Darby sent Miss H. Emilie Groce, one of its teachers, to the new school for the express purpose of founding a high school. NVhen Lansdowne had its election, six men, the required number for ll board at that time, were elected school directors. Those elected were: Isaac P. Garrett, Edwin B. I.ewis, Mathiew F. Vander, YVilliam P. Freeham, joseph Fleming, and Edward Flacker. af? W 'uw 'fi Q c O .1 :CBJ f Pa 'nl' Miss Iixilm' Hllilil1RD, class of '95, one MR. Amos P.
