THE CHANGING SCENE OUR TOWN was once a typical New England village with a central green. But the character of Stratford is changing - its landscape becoming un- familiar because of the new Throughway running through our backyard. Where for many years Moses Wheeler carried all freight, animals, and people back and forth across the Housatonic River, now four great bridges span the water, carrying cars, trains, and trucks speedily on their way. We have very modern housing developments where formerly white colonial houses stood. We have a movie theater, many well- stocked stores, a beautiful Town Hall, and several major industries as well as many smaller local man- ufacturing concerns. Yes, we are a metropolitan town now, only a scant sixty miles from New York City and a scanter twenty from New Haven. OUR TOWN is growing all the time, but it will probably always retain that small-town atmosphere, iust as our school will always have that close-knit feeling. As we look back through the pages of this year- book many years from now, we will fondly remember that wonderful feeling and cherish our days in Strat- ford High School. Population l670 Strong!
