of Education. But more important is the reputation our graduates have given Pembroke-Country Day School among the colleges of the nation. Throughout the nation, but especially in the Middle West, Pem-Day is recognized as a leader and a producer of leaders. With this record of achievement behind it Pem-Day looks ahead to a new era. The physical plant of the school is in need of drastic and immediate improvement. A new set of buildings has been planned since 1930 when Schuyler Ashley House, the dormitory, was built. Construction of the new dormitory addition is well under way at this writing, and completion is expected by Christmas, A gymnasium and new upper, lower and middle school buildings will complete the group. The new gym will be started this fall and will fill an old need, for the present gymnasium was erected as a temporary building twenty years ago. Plans call for a two-story building with an auditorium and three basketball courts. The middle and lower school buildings will come next, followed by a new upper school. The campus will be com- pleted with fountains, garden and proper landscaping. The entire project, known as the Memorial Quadrangle, will be dedicated to Pembroke-Country Day Schools servicemen in both World Wars. Iudging from the returns in the money- raising campaign thus far, the drive will be a success. When building materials become available once more, Pembroke-Country Day School will have an attractive and efficient campus. These changes, great as they may seem, will not actually alter the purposes of the school. lt will continue to offer a program which will provide the best possible preparation for respon- sible citizenship in a democracy. This year has been a continuance of the usual Pembroke- Country Day tradition of striving toward the founders' ideals of scholars-hip and citizenship.
