Girls’ varsity team photos through 1997 decorate the Caroline Saltonstall Building, which was the original Girls’ School gymnasium. This photograph collection honors the legacy to girls’ athletics of athletic director Priscilla Bailey and devoted coach and faculty member Dorothy J. Sullivan—a pair affectionately referred to as “Sully-Bail.”
In Ware Hall, the original schoolhouse of Milton’s Girls’ School, a pictorial history of the Girls’ School from 1901 to 1981 includes photographs from the daily life of the school, and painted portraits of Sarah Storer Goodwin, first principal of the Girls’ Upper School from 1901 to 1928, and of Margaret A. Johnson, principal of the Girls’ School from 1950 to 1981.
This stone carving, dedicated to George Wigglesworth, greets visitors entering “Wigg Hall” from Centre Street: “We hope the time will never come when devotion to high ideals, unselfish service and heroic self-sacrifice will not command the admiration of mankind. Such service, and such living, are the beacon light which leads humanity forward and upward.”
