History of Sunny Hills By B. F. BERANGER SUNNY HILLS, built as a living memorial to Sanford W. Sawin, Jr., by his mother, commenced with seven small children, the girls in pigtails, you may be sure. School was held in Sanford Hall, a typical red brick house, and living went on for the most part in Quigley Hall. That was in 1930. Gradually, as things do, Sunny Hills grew, and there was a necessity for an upper school and a place for the upper school to reside in. Stephen May Hall emerged out of what was once the barn, and the students quickly made it their own by incorporating loud shouts and general noise into its walls, which now echo with them and will for- ever, we fear. Once the shock of beginning the upper school had been gotten over, events which were to become traditions were started. There were football, hockey, baseball, and track teams which went bravely forth to give battle, seldom returning victorious in the early years. Then there was the Athletic Association, the Christmas Dance, where many presents and a little mistletoeacreated diversion, the Valentine Dance, Wllite- washing Day, when the ever-lengthening Sunny Hills fences were newly coated, as were the participants, namely the whole school. Gavel Day was instituted, and two juniors chosen to take charge of the boys and girls during the coming term. The next year, events proceeded much the same, but there were new buildings, Hebb Hall for the little children, its windows continually covered with seasonal pictures, and a new dining hall. New dogs and cats came and went, the teams become more successful, and the customs more deeply rooted. This year saw the first Class Day and Commencement. However, the year '37-'58 really witnessed more innovations than any other. There was Sawin Lodge built for the boys and, to a great extent, by the boysg the 'lMatthew- son Mansion, a cottage for Eleanor, Dean of Girls, who was a bride in February, the remodeling of Douglas Cottage for Phil, Dean of Boys, and Dottie. The new cur- riculum for classes was carried on from the year before, and made more extensive. The Seniors, to broaden their views on American history and government, Went to Washington. When they came back, a miniature facsimile of the New York Times kept them busy for weeks. Other classes built huts and made water gardens. The Sunny Hills Alumni Association was formed from last year's revered Seniors, and a Gavel Club, composed of all the Gavel Boys and Girls, will be started next year. Time and everything else seems to march on-so does Sunny Hills.
