FROM THE ARCHIVES
A
S WE looked from our perch in
Headmaster Philip’s old house on a
morning in early April, we saw giant paper snowflakes falling from the sky. Spring was not quite in the air. The Upper School building stood as the backdrop to this wintry scene on Maher Avenue — just as it does in this archival photo from the 1980s. Only now — as students hang out classroom windows, shouting “words of encouragement” to those below — they peer down upon the Pedersen Lawn, a rectangular courtyard named in honor of Headmaster Norman A. Pedersen (1969–87). Seniors often congregate there to throw the Frisbee or even to barbecue in the days leading up to graduation. Teachers, too, hold occasional classes on the Lawn when the sun is shining (above). The front entrance, along with the parking lot, was moved to the west side of the building after renovations to accommodate a new theater and glass atrium, in 2008. But how about this 1978 Toyota Corolla (according to resident car expert Jimmy Romanello)? Anyone know the owner of such a classic? He must’ve had VIP parking. Please call or email Libby Edwards (ledwards@brunswickschool.org: 203-6255864) if you can identify this Bruin!
