They were a vanishing type of womanhood for no excitement or confusion ever bothered them and haste never was put before the niceties of genteel living. Their kind dignity, musical voices, and sympathetic understanding made them the most beloved of teachers. So Miss Marian, who taught until she passed away, and Miss Mary and Miss Caroline who carried on through the following years all made the school the wonderful institution that it was. When the time came that the Misses Smead felt they should retire, they turned the reigns of the school over to two of their faithful teachers, Miss Rose and Miss Grace Anderson, who served the school well until their retire- ment in l929. Miss Leslie Leland came from a similar position in Buffalo to act as headmistress of the school. Coincidental with her coming, plans were being formulated. for reorganizing the school along the lines of a country day school. ln l934 after considering a number of locations the present 27-acre site on Reynolds Road was selected. The name of the school was changed to the Maumee Valley Country Day School and the following year the school moved to its new building. ln l938 Willis Stork succeeded Miss Leland as head of the school and has served as headmaster to the present time except for a three-year leave of absence during the war when he was in the Navy. During this interval the Reverend R. Malcolm Ward served as acting headmaster. Now, in l95O, the school has added two new wings which provide Ander- son l-lall, dining room, and the Lillian P. Smith Wing, which provides five new classrooms and which memorializes the great contribution of Miss Smith who taught primary classes in this school over a period of thirty years. All in all, the future of the school is as bright and promising as its past has been fruitful and rich.
