PAST TRADITIONS, FUTURE VISIONS THE SCHOOL’S HISTORY PART II
The Storm King School Sesquicentennial is underway. The 150th anniversary of our school, founded in 1867, was kicked off at Reunion 2017 and continues to build momentum as the year progresses. Events involving alumni and the entire school community are planned throughout the year, from Homecoming 2017 to graduation in June 2018. Our sesquicentennial celebrations will culminate on Reunion Weekend 2018 at our Sesquicentennial Gala event. To help commemorate this important time, On the Mountain is bringing forth the rich history of the School in a three-part narrative series. In our last issue, we went back to the School’s early years as the Cornwall Heights School to the early days of WWI. In this issue, we will take you on a journey through the School’s middle years from 1917 to 1967. There, you will see the School’s progress during two world wars, the Great Depression, and the growth it experienced in the 1950s and early ‘60s. HEADMASTER ALVAN E.
