The idea of a private school for boys in Kansas City began with the establishment of the Country-Day School in 1910 by Mrs. A. Ross Hill. Located on the old Wornall Homestead, the school opened classes in its first year with three teachers and nineteen students. With its incor- poration in 1914, the school moved to the present 22-acre site at 51st and Ward Parkway. The campus, which included, at first, only an administration building lwith a cafeteria in the basement and a gymnasium on the third floor? and a manual arts shack, expanded gradually as both students and available funds increased. A temporary gym was constructed in 1918, the junior school building in 1922, and the Schuyler Ashley House in 1930. A rival academy, Pembroke, founded in 1925, merged with Country- Day in 1933. Present faculty members who have been teaching at Pembroke- Country Day since the merger, include: Mr. Coad, Mr. Nault, and Mr. Wedin fof Country-Dayl and Mr. Bennett and Mrs. Holte lof Pembrokel. Headmasters of the school have included: Mr. Ralph Hoffman, 1910- 1917, Mr. Underhill, 1917-1920, Mr. Mitchell Froelisher, 1920-1923, Mr. Charles Bradlee, 1924-1931. Under Mr. Howard E. A. Jones, 1931-1943, the enrollment grew to 183. ln the decade from 1943 to 1953, with Mr. Bradford M. Kingman as headmaster, the school was able to burn a sixty-three thousand dollar mortgage as part of the 1945 commencement exercises, add a dormitory addition in 1948, the Phillips Memorial Gymnasium and Howard Flagg, Jr. Auditorium in 1949, extension to the junior school and headmaster's house in 1950. The shop-garage and tennis courts were completed in 1952. Since Mr. Peter A. Schwartz was awarded the headmaster's position in 1953, Pembroke-Country Day has nearly doubled its number of students.
