Three years ago, Great Neck High School discarded a slightly small and outmoded, but pleasantly worn garment to don bright, shiny raiment. With the same sadness that one relinquishes an old, serviceable piece of clothing, and with the same joy that one acquires the latest and most advanced style, the local institution transplanted itself from Arrandale to Polo Road, experienced the stiffness of new garb, and grew to fit the larger size. These three years have been milestones in the history of Great Neck High School. A phenomenal rate of expansion caused the second year enrollment to double that of the first year, and, because of this astounding pace, the third year has witnessed the discontinuance of tuition students from the surrounding region. But the rapid growth of Great Neck High School has only been commensurate with the equally astonishing growth of the community, a growth which has truly localized the school, and yet, on the other hand, a growth which reflects the cosmo- politan spirit of Great Neck. It is indeed a tribute to the fine cooperative bond existing between the school and the community when citizens of so rich a district as Great Neck, people ordinarily entrusting their children to private schools, recognize the local high school, which, in its modern and extensive setting, embraces many of the advantages of the best private schools, while possessing added features of its own. The close intimacy and tradition of Arrandale, for the present at least, are things of the past. Spiritual growth can only come when physical growth ceases. Already, there are signs of a new spiritual birth. In place of the old school tradition, a new school tradition is being built. axe se axe ar as And the ivy shall creep up the walls of the new school. -ROBERT LAWREN.
