A room for Teachers and students
Primary sources for a history class
Each page here is a primary source with a date on it. A 1910 advertisement gives the cost of a year's board and tuition, a class history of 1931-32 is written in the manner of Samuel Pepys, a 1933 entry explains why there was no full yearbook that year, and a 1944 drawing comes from the war years.
