In 1896, a young woman named Jennie Warren Prentiss established a school for three femalie students in her modest Cleveland home. Over the next thirty years, Laurel School would make several moves to increasingly larger facilities until it finally settle in 1928 at its present campus, an imposing Tudor-style building on what would become Lyman Circle in Shaker Heights, Ohio. But the story of Laurel's incredible growth, from a school of three students to one of over six hundred is much more than a rundown of its successive street addresses. It is the powerful story of vibrant and forward-thinking individuals who guided the School over the decades, each, in turn, leaving her or his own indelible imprint on it, and also of the thousands of girls and young women who over the last one hundred years have proudly called Laurel their won. Their voices, presented here in numerous fond and frank alumnae reminiscences, bring Laurel's illustrious past to life and point to the very legacy that shapes its future. 168 page, illustrated in black and white.
