Mr. Calvin W. Atwood HEADMASTER The year 1963-64 will certainly go down in the history of Pem-Day as one of great change and de- velopment. Foremost was the change in headmaster. Pem-Day was very fortunate to have Mr. Calvin Atwood, his wife and three sons come here. Mr. Atwood was born in Rutland, Vermont and was president of the student body at his high school. He served with distinction in the Pacific with the Marines. His college life took place at two schools - Lawrence College in Appleton, Wisconsin, and Columbia University. At the former he was president of the student council and was named the outstanding student. Columbia honored him with the Baker citation for outstanding academic achieve- ment. Mr. Atwood has taught at Northville High School, Sidwell Friends, and Robert Academy in Istanbul, Turkey, where he became the dean of stu- dents. The headmaster set a fine goal when he expres- sed a desire to see the establishment of a creative learning environment evolved by the finest faculty and by spirited and intellectually curious students? With his help and that of the faculty, this is being achieved. Some of the major changes occurring under Mr. Atwood's administration include the ruling passed by the Board of Trustees that any qualified boy would be admitted regardless of race, creed, or color, the wearing of ties by the upper school boys, the establishment of a creative writing course, a literary magazine, a photography club and dark room, and an applied art course. It certainly was a productive year!
